Chapter 526

"Man, it's like this. We want to develop business in Asia recently, and I will be the leader, but Japan is not my ideal place now. I want to enter China."

Brian said: "I was thinking of getting Miranda or Avril to contact you, but now you just come to the United States, so I want to talk to you, let's go to China to set up a multinational company, what do you think?"

"Multinational enterprise?" Su Chen thought for a while: "I don't have a company in my hand now, if you cooperate with me, it will be a bit difficult."

"My idea is that we set up a joint venture company." Brian said: "We each hold 50% of the shares, jointly manage this company, and we both arrange boards of directors."

Su Chen shook his head: "Dude, it's not that I don't believe you, this kind of shareholding structure initially wants both parties to regard the joint venture as their own business, but the result is often very different from the original intention.

In fact, often one party is dominant and the other party is subordinate. If the subordinate party is willing to be subordinate, everyone will live in peace.

Conversely, if there is a conflict between the two parties, the equity will be fatal, and no one can convince the other. The result is often that one party leaves. Therefore, this equity structure does not stimulate the initiative of the subordinate party. When something goes wrong, Instead, there will be disputes. "

"Yes, Su, you are right." Brian nodded, agreeing with Su Chen's statement: "So, my idea is that we only set up a board of directors in the company, do not participate in decision-making power, and just follow the dividends."

"Why don't we do it like Storm Fund." Su Chen thought for a while: "First, we need to set up a corporate governance structure in the company's articles of association. One side is the chairman, the other side can send two directors, and one side is the executive director. Director, the other party will act as the general manager, and it must be clearly stipulated that the executive director cannot replace the general manager.”

"OK." Brian took a sip of coffee first, and then said, "This is a must."

"Secondly, in terms of voting rights, reasonable settings must be made. For example, a withdrawal system should be designed for voting rights. Anyone who has obvious interests must be avoided and not voted; major matters must be passed by a two-thirds majority, and two One of the voting rights does not meet the requirements;
Implement the practice of inconsistent voting rights and shareholding ratios; another example is to vote on specific matters and implement special voting methods; also, when an agreement cannot be reached, it can be decided by the chairman or executive director. "Su Chen went on to talk about his thoughts.

Brian took his words: "Let me add the third one. We regard the exit clause as a final clause and design it in the company's articles of association. If the two parties fail to reach a resolution several times, one party can apply to dissolve the company, or can apply to withdraw from the company. , by another shareholder to perform the compulsory acquisition obligation.

As for how to withdraw, both of us can agree in the articles of association. If a shareholder wants to withdraw, we can also agree on how this party will withdraw from the company, and agree on the exit conditions and exit price. What do you think? "

Su Chen thought about it for about a minute before nodding: "Yes, but how much do you plan to invest in the early stage?"

"5000 million, 5000 million for each of us, [-] million U.S. dollars, I think [-] million U.S. dollars is enough." Brian said: "It is nearly [-] million yuan when converted into your renminbi, which is enough."

"Okay." Su Chen also picked up his coffee and took a sip: "That's how we do it. We will invest in the establishment of a company in the United States together. You can arrange for someone to discuss the specific matters with Bernice. If the negotiation is successful, we will sign the agreement." documents, maybe by the end of this year, we can enter China for development.”

"OK."

Bryan said: "I'm pinning all my hopes on the Asian market now, and I hope we can create good results."

"This is something in the future. What we should do now is to develop this company well."

Su Chen smiled and said: "This time I came in a hurry, I didn't bring gifts for you, Lisa and your baby. When you go to China in the future, I must choose the best gift for you. By the way, your baby is girl or boy?

"Girl, buddy, with your words, I know that my gift will definitely not be less." Brian said with a smile: "You also hurry up and have a son, if we can let the children grow up and get married in the future."

"I think it's a good idea," Miranda interjected.

Avril also said: "But I don't know, Brian, you plan to let your daughter marry our son? After all, there should not be only one son in our family."

"Isn't that better? Then I can let my little princess choose easily." Brian laughed: "There are so many boys, she will definitely find the right one."

Then, he changed the subject: "Man, how long are you going to stay in the United States?"

"It will take about a month or two, because there are still a lot of things to do here, and I have a hunch that the yen will appreciate wildly, so I have to sit in charge myself!" Su Chen said.

Because it has already entered September, if nothing unexpected happens, until September 9, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany, France and the United Kingdom will hold a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

An agreement was reached that the governments of the five countries jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and induce an orderly depreciation of the exchange rate of the US dollar against major currencies in order to solve the problem of the huge US trade deficit.

When it came to this matter, Brian became serious: "Dude, what you said before is true, the dollar will depreciate wildly, after you returned to China, many large manufacturing companies and members of Congress in the United States have lobbied the US government.

The government is strongly urged to intervene in the foreign exchange market to depreciate the dollar in order to save the increasingly depressed US manufacturing industry, and many economists have also joined the team lobbying the government to change the position of the strong dollar. "

"It was definitely the best time for us to enter the market. Now that there are people selling dollars in the world, and the yen is also appreciating, we will definitely make a lot of money."

"So, I will keep an eye on it, and when the time is right, I will deliver it immediately. If it is too late, I will probably lose a lot of money." Su Chen thought about it for a while: "The more it comes to this time, the more serious it is, and you can't treat it sloppily." .”

Because of Brian's visit, Su Chen invited him to eat the Chinese food he had been talking about, and sent this guy away with just a few side dishes.

Although I don't want to have any contact with the chaebol, it is impossible to say that there is no contact.

It is still possible for everyone to cooperate to start a small business and make a small fortune.

Moreover, the Lawrence family can indeed cooperate in the development of the textile industry. When the time comes, they will go to Jiangnan to find a company that can cooperate and develop together.

In addition, the Lawrence family's property is all rooted in Boston, and it is impossible to move out. Once they move out, they will be seriously injured, and the shareholders' meeting may collapse.

It can only develop in many ways.

Speaking of Jiangnan, Su Chen thought of Teresa Teng who was developing in Japan, so he needed to take some time to see it.

And I didn't call her when I was in Hong Kong before.

Because it was Sunday, after Brian left, Su Chen specially accompanied his two girlfriends for a tour around Boston.

……

After a night of rest, the next day, Miranda and Avril went to class, while Su Chen drove them to school.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly a man came and knocked on his car door. Su Chen saw, what a guy, Billy!

"Hi man."

Su Chen opened the car window, smiled and said, "You haven't graduated yet?"

"Fuck, don't poke my wound!" Billy said with a displeased face, "Not everyone is like a monster like you. You have received a doctorate certificate in just one year, and you are not a normal person!"

Then he said, "Dude, when did you get to Boston?"

"I just arrived yesterday, and I didn't inform you because it was too late. Come to my house for tea when I have time." Su Chen said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much."

"I still believe that you miss your two girlfriends. I really don't believe it when you say you miss me. I have to go to class. If you are free this Sunday, I want to visit you."

Billy sighed: "I swear to God, I never thought that the Chinese guys I met that day were so good, but it also shows that I have a good eye, man, I have to go to class, see you on Sunday. "

"Okay, see you on Sunday." Su Chen nodded.

Then turn the car around and go straight home.

In fact, there are only a few things to do in Boston this time, about the matter of Tiangong Laboratory, the other is to visit Professor Ayler, and then personally sit in the delivery of the storm hedge fund.

As for Matlab, there is no need to look at it. If every one of so many industries has to run, he will be exhausted.

Speaking of Bernice, she was unable to meet Jobs on the scheduled day because of a slight accident...
