Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

"Do you have to go back? Can't you stay in Japan?"

Faced with Koizumi Kyoko's questioning, Cao Zhiqiang, who was having an afterthought, shook his head and said, "I think so too, but it really can't work, Kyoko.

I have been in Japan for a while, and now the project here is almost finished. The domestic company is eager to recruit me back. As the leader of this business negotiation, it is inappropriate for me not to go back.

And I came to Japan with a government-issued business visa, which is about to expire, and I have to go back to the country once, so that I can renew the visa with my work unit.

Otherwise, when the visa expires, I will be forced to return to China. In that case, I might offend my domestic employer, and if the visa is not renewed, I will not be able to come in the future.

Also, today, let me go first, I have to go back quickly, the secretary is still waiting for me, I am busy with many things.

If it wasn't for you, I shouldn't have come out now. If someone found out that I came out with you, I would violate the rules! "

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Kyoko Koizumi reluctantly let go of Cao Zhiqiang from behind, then frowned and said, "Why are your domestic companies so strict? Can't you leave your company and choose to stay in Japan?"

"It's difficult." Cao Zhiqiang sighed while putting down his chopsticks.

"Today, if I leave our company, I won't even be able to get a visa to Japan. After all, I don't have any Japanese relatives here, so I can't apply to come to Japan in private. Currently, there are only government-sponsored business trips abroad.

As for staying in Japan, it is even more difficult.

How difficult is it for you to apply for a visa in Japan? You can inquire about it. If I didn’t have a business visa, I wouldn’t be able to come to Japan at all, at least not through regular channels.

You don't want me to be unable to enter the country normally, so I can't meet you in Japan, right? "

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Koizumi Kyoko frowned and said, "But aren't you very popular in singing now? Can't the Aine agency you signed with be able to help you?"

Cao Zhiqiang, who had already wiped his mouth with a tissue, continued to sigh:

"Oh, today, things are not as simple as you think, especially when foreigners apply for visas, how can it be so easy.

The firm I signed up with was helping me apply for a work visa, but this kind of thing is very troublesome and not easy to get through.

Even though my stage name 'Mori Naka Seizumi' is very popular now, but in the industry, it's nothing to those Japanese civil servants, they don't care who I am. "

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Koizumi fell silent today, and started eating rice sullenly.

Seeing that Koizumi no longer asked questions today, Cao Zhiqiang was secretly happy, but on the surface he was serious, and he just sped up his eating speed a little.

Koizumi is busy with work today and has limited time, so once they meet, they don't talk too much and make all kinds of troubles, and after the troubles, they chat and eat.

This made Cao Zhiqiang very entangled. On the one hand, he warned himself rationally not to meet Koizumi Kyoko less.

But on the one hand, deep down in my heart, I hope to meet Kyoko Koizumi.

After all, among all the women Cao Zhiqiang has met so far, Koizumi Kyoko is the most relaxed and the most active, which gave Cao Zhiqiang a particularly novel experience.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang is going back to China now, so he can temporarily forcibly break away from contact with Kyoko Koizumi, so he doesn't have to worry about this issue anymore.

Of course, this is not Cao Zhiqiang being forced to return to the country, and no one in the country wants him to come back now. This is just an excuse and excuse for Cao Zhiqiang.

This excuse and excuse is not false, the reason is that the negotiation with Taiyo Yuden went smoothly, even exceeding expectations.

Cao Zhiqiang's original plan was to directly buy a Japanese leather bag company here in Japan through his offshore company in the Cayman Islands, and then contact Taiyo Yuden through this leather bag company to purchase Taiyo Yuden's production lines and equipment.

The plan went smoothly at the beginning. After all, Japan's economy is active at this time, and there are many small investment companies in the country. It is very simple to anonymously buy a Japanese investment company through an offshore company.

As a result, when Cao Zhiqiang asked his new Japanese "Dadong Investment Company" to send someone to contact Taiyo Yuden, Taiyo Yuden proposed a new plan instead.

That is, Taiyo Yuden will provide the equipment, "Dadong Investment Company" will provide the money, and Cao Zhiqiang's Huaxia Audio-Visual Company will provide the land, factory buildings and workers. The three parties will form a joint venture company to produce audio tapes in mainland China.

There is no doubt that this plan is the most attractive and beneficial to Taiyo Yuden.

Because in this way, Taiyo Yuden can not only sell its outdated production lines and equipment, but also take the opportunity to intervene in the Chinese mainland market without spending more money.

At that time, if the mainland market can do it, Taiyo Yuden will increase its investment and continue to take this opportunity to expand its investment and production scale in the mainland.

If the mainland market is not friendly and cannot make money, Taiyo Yuden will not suffer.

After all, they only produced production lines and equipment, plus a few technicians and managers for technical guidance, and did not invest a lot of money.

Conversely, this is also very beneficial to Cao Zhiqiang or "Dadong Investment Company".

Because according to Cao Zhiqiang’s original plan, he used the name of Japan’s “Dadong Investment Company” to first purchase production lines and equipment from Taiyang Yuden, as well as related training services, and then use these production lines and equipment as bargaining chips. Audio-visual companies to form a joint venture to produce tapes.

In other words, according to Cao Zhiqiang's original plan, Taiyo Yuden was only selling equipment, and the specific operators were "Dadong Investment Company" and Cao Zhiqiang's Huaxia Audio-Video Company.

During this period, the money for purchasing equipment, training, and organizing transportation quality are all operated by "Dadong Investment Company".

Just think about it, and you will know how much it will cost when "Dadong Investment Company" ships these equipments to China.

Well now, Taiyo Yuden has the idea of ​​going deep into the mainland, so he is willing to take the initiative to lower the price of the production line, provide free personnel guidance services, and is even willing to help contact the shipping company.

In this way, on the whole, Taiyo Yuden's new plan can allow "Daito Investment Company" to spend [-]% less than the original plan, and the new joint venture can get more from Taiyo Yuden. Support, such as the price of raw materials can also be reduced.

But these are not the most attractive.

The real attraction is that Taiyo Yuden promises that if the production line put into operation in mainland China produces audio tapes of qualified quality and low cost, Taiyo Yuden promises to buy audio tapes from mainland factories and sell them in Japan.

In other words, Taiyo Yuden has made a promise, that is, it is willing to let the mainland contemporary factories buy back the audio tapes produced by the tape factories in mainland China.

This is a proper export business and a proper business of earning foreign exchange.

Of course, it is not without conditions that Taiyo Yuden made so many concessions.

The condition is that in the new joint venture, Taiyo Yuden must occupy more shares and have certain management rights.

The investment specialist sent by Dadong Investment Company discussed with the "big boss above", and finally decided to agree to this new cooperation plan.

The new plan is this.

Taiyo Yuden, Dadong Investment Company, and Huaxia Audio-Video Company formed a joint venture company. The name of the company was tentatively named "Dongyang Company".

The shareholding composition of Dongyang Company is that Dadong Investment Company invests in funds, accounting for 40.00% of the shares, and is the largest shareholder.

Taiyo Yuden invests in technology and equipment, accounting for 30.00% of the shares, and is the second largest shareholder.

Huaxia Audio-Visual Company is the smallest shareholder with 20.00% of Wu's shares by investing in land, factory buildings, and domestic contacts.

To put it simply, Dadong Company provided money, Taiyo Yuden provided technology and equipment, and Huaxia Audiovisual Company provided land and opened domestic official channels, and jointly built factories in China for production.

In terms of specific management, the CEO, that is, the general manager must be someone from Huaxia Audio-Visual Company, but the specific management personnel such as the deputy general manager below can be assigned by the Japanese side.

Dadong Investment Company is just a small investment company, with only a few accountants and investors who support the scene, and no specific management personnel, so whether it is a new company's technicians or management personnel, Taiyo Yuden will be responsible for dispatching them.

These Taiyo Yuden's expatriate staff have the identities of two companies, and their salaries will be paid by the new company.

Generally speaking, Dadong Investment Company has the most shares and the most power, but this is only in theory.

In fact, Huaxia Audio-Visual Company, which has the fewest shares in the company, is the one that really has the right to manage the company, followed by Taiyo Yuden. On the contrary, Dadong Investment Company, which has the most shares in the company, has the least management right over the company, and only has dividend rights and supervision. right.

In fact, this model is very normal. The reason is that Huaxia Audiovisual Company is a local company in mainland China. It has all kinds of contacts and sales in mainland China. It is a proper local snake, so it is normal to have corporate management rights.

As a provider of technology, equipment, and raw materials, as well as a repurchase party for products, Taiyo Yuden belongs to the dragon of the river and has power second only to Huaxia Audio and Video Company, which is also normal.

As for Dadong Investment Company, it is actually not losing money.

Because Dadong Investment Company's behavior was originally doing venture capital, and it is estimated that it did not expect to operate the company for a long time or occupy shares for a long time.

It is more likely that Dadong Company will expand its business through this method, and when the company's value rises and the stock price rises, it will choose to sell its shares to cash out.

This kind of gameplay is most common in Europe and the United States, and it is not uncommon in Japan.

Not to mention now, even later, such investors are everywhere.

Later angel funds and the like are essentially venture capitalists.

Even, investors like Dadong Company are precisely the most welcome and favorite of enterprises, especially the manufacturing industry.

After all, this kind of investor invests in the early stage of business startup, and the startup stage is also the most in need of funds. It is a real cooperation that benefits both sides.

Therefore, in fact, Taiyo Yuden itself has a good impression of this Dadong Investment Company, and also wants to take this opportunity to cooperate with Dadong Company, so that if the cooperation is happy in the future and has cooperation experience, in the future, if it happens again For any new projects, you can still find Dadong Company to raise funds.

There is no way, everyone is short of money now, Taiyo Yuden is no exception, it is also good to have one more investor who gives money.

Therefore, Taiyo Yuden is the most happy to see the current cooperation model.

Because Dadong Investment Company and Huaxia Audio-Visual Company shared the initial risks, Taiyo Yuden only sold some equipment at a low price, and with a few more people, it would be easy to get a share of a mainland company and a possible foundry.

You know, the audio tapes produced by Taiyo Yuden are quite good. After all, Taiyo Yuden's double-layer tape technology is more advanced than ordinary iron tapes, and the sound quality is better.

The real problem is that the cost of this kind of iron-chromium double-layer belt is too high, and most of this cost is actually too high labor cost, followed by raw material cost.

The labor cost in mainland China is very low, and some raw materials, such as iron powder and chromium powder, should also be available in mainland China.

Therefore, if we can open up a production line in mainland China to produce this kind of double-layer tape, and then repurchase the high-quality and low-priced tape produced in mainland China, and then sell them in Japan under the Taiyo Yuden brand, I believe it will be competitive enough.

To put it bluntly, Taiyo Yuden is interested in the advantages of low labor costs and low raw material costs in the mainland. As for opening up the mainland market, that is the second purpose.

As for Taiyo Yuden, because the current size is too small, it is still unable to compete with Sony and other big-name companies in the European and American markets, and now there is a good opportunity without much risk, so it cautiously turns its attention to the mainland.

In short, in 1983, there were few countries and experts in the world who could really look up to China.

After all, China is really poor and weak at this time, at least that's how it behaves.

At this time, if you want to say that China will become the second largest economy in the world in 40 years, everyone will probably laugh at you.

However, Cao Zhiqiang felt that this day would come sooner or later, and because of him and the system, this day might come even earlier.

Because there is a thousand words and ten thousand words, the so-called rise of the country is, to put it bluntly, a competition for industries.

At present, Japan occupies the second-tier industries second only to the United States, such as automobile and shipbuilding semiconductors, so they can be very developed.

If China can take advantage of this special period earlier and get these industrial dividends earlier, there is no doubt that China's rise will be faster and more violent.

This is what Cao Zhiqiang likes to hear the most.

Only with the rise of a big country can the dignity of the small people be found!

Now, the road to accelerate the country's rise begins with me.

As long as I think that I am the driving force behind the rise of the country, it will not be in vain for me to go through a journey. (end of this chapter)
