Start from 1980

Chapter 809 Awakened Capital

The business activities of many businessmen can be seen in the newspapers.

In 1988, there was a saying in the northern folks that goes like this: setting up a small stall is better than a county magistrate; sounding the horn, not being a leader.

Capital began to wake up.

Therefore, 1988 can also be regarded as a special year:
Before that, the emergence and development of Chinese private companies were unconscious, and they were more to save themselves from starvation, but after that, the pursuit of assets became a new theme.

Those visionaries began to look farther, thinking about the ownership and destiny of the enterprise.

Facts in the future will prove that these visionaries will eventually be rewarded for their advanced vision, and those entrepreneurs who avoid or fail to think about this issue will pay a heavy price.

The awakening of the awareness of property rights means that the first generation of Chinese entrepreneurs who grew up under the planned system began to become independent of capital personality. In a sense, this is a symbolic event.

Although in fact, it is only reflected in a few entrepreneurs with foresight, its essential meaning is very clear.

But now to register high-tech enterprises, there is no other choice except state-owned and collective.

For the sake of convenience, many people attached themselves to some state-owned or collective enterprises by the way, and many property rights disputes arose in the future because of this.

The factories in Shenzhen and Hong Kong don't have too many things to deal with, but Lenovo, a joint venture in Beijing, has a hidden crisis.

One afternoon this month, Lu Tanping, a Hong Kong businessman who was walking on the streets of Kowloon, received a call from Yanagawa Zhi, the general manager of BJ Lenovo:
"Mr. Lu, think about it, the two of us can cooperate to start a company and make the pie bigger."

Lu Tanping is a computer agent, and his Hong Kong Daoyuan Computer Co., Ltd. is little-known in the industry.

Three years ago, he started some agency business with Lenovo.

Liu Chuanzhi's decision to go to Hong Kong to set up a trading company is a necessary step for Lenovo's business development.

The AST microcomputer he chose to replace the IBM microcomputer was produced by a Hong Kong computer company, and the newly established Hong Kong Lenovo Company will act as an agent for all the import business of Beijing Lenovo.

In a sense, it is both an agent middleman and an important interest transformer.

Liu Chuanzhi chose two partners, one is China Technology Transfer Co., Ltd., and the reason for choosing it is that "the background of this company is that it can borrow a lot of money, and it has roots in borrowing money."

What is not known is that the chairman of this company is Yanagawa Shi's father, and the other is Lu Tanping's Hong Kong Daoyuan Company.

According to the agreement, BJ Lenovo, China Technology Transfer and Daoyuan each contributed 30 Hong Kong dollars and shared the shares equally.

The reason why Liu Chuanzhi made this decision is because Lenovo is a joint venture between the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shengshi.

He did not yet have the courage and method to change the nature of capital, but when he established a new subsidiary, he thought of a way to introduce private joint venturers.

In the following ten years, this has been the method that many state-owned enterprises have been quietly trying:

Through the introduction of private investors, a subsidiary company with clear property rights will be formed to form a new capital operation platform to promote and even complete the capital transformation of the parent company.

In this process, any public or gray capital combination may appear, and Lu Tanping's characters have become very subtle and key natural persons in this game.

In addition to this method of operation, Yanagawa Zhi is also trying to buy Lenovo from Shengshi.

He couldn't bear to have someone else authorize his name, and he wanted to take this company to the international market, so the contradiction between trade, industry and technology and technology, industry and trade became more and more obvious.

Su Chen didn't know about this, and he had allocated a lot of money from Lenovo over the years. If Liu Chuanzhi wanted to separate, he didn't care.

A joint venture is still not the way out, either he buys the other half of the equity of the other party, or sells the equity in his hand.

In one of the newspapers, Su Chen found a prominent name on it, Ma Shengli.

From November 1987 to January this year, Ma Shengli contracted 11 paper mills in less than two months.

And on January 1 this year, "China Ma Shengli Paper Enterprise Group" was established amidst the din of gongs and drums. The Minister of Light Industry in Beijing and senior officials of HEB Province attended the inaugural meeting together.

Now the life of state-owned enterprises is getting more and more difficult, so a very special method has been born - contracting, just like the contracting system in rural areas.

Ma Shengli, the director of SJZ Paper Mill, is known as "one bag works" because he contracted and revitalized a factory.

Ma Shengli traveled all over the country non-stop. Everywhere he went, he made local headlines, and his contracting became a ceremonial reform performance.

From the government to the enterprises, from the media to the workers, everyone is eager to change the current difficult situation. Ma Shengli seems to be a magic straw.

He gave speeches again and again, contracted one by one, and signed a contract for a venue, and dozens of companies have belonged to him.

They are all small and medium-sized paper mills with small scale and loss of profit. Ma Shengli recorded all of them in his account without doing any research and evaluation.

Everyone may not know that it is less than a few months before the Ma family myth is shattered.

Putting down the newspaper, Su Chen didn't pay attention to these things anymore. If he didn't accumulate so much wealth now, after a while, he would have a chance to get rich.

But now he no longer wants to run around for that little money and be a "Treasury Mole".

After staying in Shenzhen for a few days, I also visited many places. Minsheng Bank has opened five branches in Shenzhen.

Although Shenzhen has been developed for so many years, many places are still barren and wild. It is already a very good statistic to be able to open five stores.

But don't think that it is crowded with people every day like a few big shops.

After all, Minsheng is a bank that just came from Hong Kong. Other than a better service attitude, other people don't trust you very much.

Xu Zhi came to see Su Chen as soon as he came back from Zhuhai.

At this time, he has been reborn, he no longer looks like a fool like before, and his whole person starts to look businesslike.

As soon as I sat down, I started bragging: "You don't know, when I just arrived at the hostel, I was surrounded by leaders upstairs and downstairs, wanting me to invest in this and that, and talking about various policies and discounts... ..."

"Did you mention this before?" Su Chen said, "How about the factory in Zhuhai?"

"It's okay, I'm going to open dozens of specialty stores in the capital."

Xu Zhi is planning ambitiously, "Lao Shen's idea gave me a way of thinking, but it's too small to open a store, and if I want to open dozens of them, I will show our brand."

"Yes." Su Chen nodded, "These are all in the development plan of the garment factory. I will no longer control the development of the factory in detail. You need to learn by yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, a beautifully dressed woman came in outside the door, wearing lipstick, high heels, and swaying waist.

Xu Zhi's expression changed instantly...
