Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 187 Lide?Wicked!
Sometimes, shares are not just an investment, but also a choice based on market considerations.

In order to avoid risks, especially to improve the tacit understanding among supporting enterprises, some companies will take the initiative to adopt cross-shareholding methods.

It refers to the situation where one company holds the shares of another company and obtains its equity income, but the holding company does not affect the business decision-making of the company being held or the target company.

Just like the world's largest semiconductor equipment manufacturing company behind, that is, ASML in the Netherlands, the leader in the manufacture of lithography machines, as a manufacturer of core equipment for large-scale integrated circuits, the three chip manufacturers of Intel, Samsung, and TSMC all have certain shares in the company.

I don't care about profit and dividends. As long as you don't get used by your peers and get stuck in your neck, the shares are worth buying.

In the same way, Cheng Nuo arranged for Jiang Jiangzuo and Fang Xianting to acquire the upstream and downstream enterprises of the alkali manufacturing industry. On the one hand, it was to prevent suppliers from restricting themselves, and on the other hand, it was also to contain buyers.

If they don't follow the development path set by Cheng Nuo, there is only one way to meet these "rebellious" manufacturers, and that is bankruptcy.

As for whether it will be anti-monopoly or something, in this era, it is just a joke, and we can only concentrate on big things.

Of course, although Zhang Jian holds the shares of Yongli Alkali Factory, although there are more than a small number of reasons, he is not as decisive as Cheng Nuo thought. It is more to help the development of domestic industries, coupled with the friendship of friends, this is the reason. Be generous with a lot of money.

Now that Yongli Alkali Plant has made a major breakthrough in technology, it can be regarded as a kind of windfall and extra joy for him.

Whether as a close friend or as a qualified businessman.

Zhang Jian has no reason to give up his shares before picking the fruit.

What's more, he was facing Li Lide, an Englishman who hadn't established his "virtue" yet.

"Mr. Li, if I remember correctly, your British Bo Neimen Company has long been the leader in the soda making industry. How can you think of a small local Chinese factory? In the eyes of an outsider like me, that is a big deal. Lower yourself."

Zhang Jian cleverly concealed the unhappiness on his face, and was about to say a few words.

Li Lide laughed loudly: "As you said, the alkali produced by our British Empire Bunemen Company is indeed very good, the quality is first, and it is unparalleled in the world."

Zhang Jian's eyes were deep: "Mr. Li, you have admitted it, and there is no reason to be interested in my shares?"

Li Lide's eyeballs rolled around, and he said with a smile: "You don't know about this. Our company not only makes soda, but also involves lime, bleaching powder, borax, dyes, etc. Don't you have a Dasheng yarn factory?" Well, if we have a happy cooperation this time, I believe we will also be happy in terms of dyes."

No matter how excited the other party was, Zhang Jian remained calm: "This condition seems very tempting, but you still haven't answered my core question, which is why you want to acquire my shares, in other words, why did you choose to buy my shares?" Is it Yongli Alkali Factory?"

Li Lide laughed: "Of course it is for better technical support. Bu Neimen Company is a very socially responsible company. Seeing that your country's chemical technology is so backward, I wanted to choose a good partner. To process our semi-finished products into finished products.

In the middle, we can not only help the factory to train technology, but also bring world-class chemical concepts here, and win-win for each other. "

The weasel paid New Year's greetings to the chicken, but he didn't have a good heart.

Zhang Jian looked at this guy with a mischievous look on his face, and the bad water in his stomach was about to overflow. He didn't know that this guy must be trying to dig a hole for Cheng Nuo and the others.

Buying shares in private may be thinking of some loss.

Even one day in the future, it is not impossible to suddenly unite with other shareholders to rebel, and then turn back.

Moreover, the reason why Bu Neimen can develop into today's multinational giant is not only because of its own technological advantages, but also because it has participated in various business competitions along the way, annexed countless rivals, and came to power by stepping on the corpses of its peers.

In the United Kingdom, Richard's Saubeck soda factory was successively annexed, Portman Thomson Company bought a large number of shares of Ammonia Soda Company, Changhan Company was gradually merged, and finally Amonia Company was established as a sole proprietorship, and Established Imperial Chemical Industries Group.

For Yongli Soda Plant, Li Lide actually didn't take it very seriously.

But later, someone reminded him that Cheng Nuo was included in it. This scientist with a certain reputation in the international scientific community couldn't help but ignore him.

However, it is only to the point of paying attention to it, and it still holds a contemptuous attitude towards the country in its bones.

"Alkali production is not an easy task. Like the British Empire, where the sun never sets, it took hundreds of years to barely get what it is today. The chemical equipment in the middle involves gas scrubbers, rotary furnaces, mechanical ovens, Open-opening Telan pot and Shank type dipping device, etc.

With the strength of your country, I think it is very difficult. "

Although I was very angry at this arrogant tone, I knew that I really needed to buy from foreign countries right now.

Coupled with the situation in the factory, Zhang Jian also knew that it was not easy.

So he hesitated for a while, and was about to let go.

In case this person is really useful to Cheng Nuo and the others, it's good to try.

"Well, my shares are nothing. The real big players are still in the hands of Zhiyuan and Xudong. Why don't I take you to meet them, sit down and talk, so that we can turn hostility into friendship." Zhang Jian stroked his beard, slowly Said slowly.

Li Lide's eyes lit up, and he agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhang, God will bless you."

It's a pity that this little trick can't escape the sharp eyes of Cheng Nuo and the others.

When he learned that Li Lide was coming, Jiang Jiangzuo raised his eyebrows:
"This wicked thing must have something bad in his heart. What do you want him to do? It's not impossible for this guy to come here with a bomb. If you want me to say, we can't let this thing in."

For this clown-like character, Cheng Nuo didn't take it seriously: "It's a blessing, not a curse. A disaster can't be avoided. As competitors, we will have a direct conflict sooner or later. It's good to find out the truth now."

Fan Xudong nodded: "It's not time to tear our skins apart yet, let's take a look first."

Both of them had spoken, and Jiang Jiangzuo had no choice but to follow along: "It's fine, knowing yourself and your enemy can win a hundred battles, but the reason for this guy's coming is technical support. What should we find to prevaricate him?"

Fan Xudong thought for a while, and suggested: "Didn't there be a problem with our chemical preparation equipment last time, you can ask him, no matter whether this guy is willing to tell the truth, we can refer to it."

Cheng Nuo vetoed the proposal: "That's not right, we already know the answer to that question, so there's no point in asking again. Well, the technical problem of our factory has been solved for the time being, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the overall process design.

Foreign factories are not allowed to be visited, and domestic factories have no reference objects, so let's just ask this. "

After the remaining two people looked at each other, they all agreed with the proposal.

But it never occurred to him that even if he did not participate in the specific soda-making technology, this Li Lide still had a "good" calculation.

Watching Cheng Nuo's deliberately arranged behind-the-scenes soda-making performance, the corners of Li Lide's mouth slightly curved up.

"Professor Cheng, is this the soda production workshop of your Yongli soda plant?"

Cheng Nuo deliberately sighed: "Well, that's the condition, not to mention the output, even the purity, which is far from meeting the market requirements. Although mathematics is the crown of natural science, it can really be applied to the chemical industry. That said, it’s still a little hard.”

Although Li Lide was delighted in his heart, he had a look of relief on his face: "Although there is a reason for China's weak industrial foundation in this regard, it is stronger than your neighbor Japan, and it is also unable to mass-produce alkali. Jin supports the development of this industry, and it is not easy for you to do this.”

Fan Xudong had a bitter look on his face: "In terms of industry, we dare not think about it. As long as the common people can eat safe alkali, we will die without regret."

Li Lide squinted his eyes: "We, Bu Neimen Company, can do it so that the common people can enjoy peace of mind. Right now, we are short of a Chinese partner. After looking at so many factories, I think you are more reliable. This is a precious opportunity for you Would you like to consider it?"

Cheng Nuoxin said that the rabbit's tail could no longer be hidden at last, so he showed a look of excitement and hesitation alternately on his face.

This expression made Li Lide's heart itch, and finally he couldn't hold back and asked: "Professor Cheng, is there any difficulty for you? As long as you are willing to cooperate with our Bu Neimen Company, your glory and wealth will be indispensable, and God will also Stand by your side."

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Cheng Nuo said slowly, "But the condition of our factory is too bad. It can be said that it is poor and white, especially in terms of process design, which does not meet the production requirements at all. Can you help us come up with a design plan first?"

"Of course...Of course not." Li Lide almost agreed, "This is temporarily not possible, I have to see your sincerity."

Fan Xudong was a little impatient: "What sincerity?",

Li Lide waved his hand back, his subordinate understood and handed over a briefcase.

Then he took out a document and handed it to Cheng Nuo and the others.

"This is the technical support cooperation that I drafted before I came here. You can take a quick look at it and sign it. I can see your sincerity."

Taking advantage of the two of them flipping through the documents, Li Lide, who felt that the winning ticket was in his hands, was a little complacent, and continued:
"Alkali is indeed very important in your country, but it's a pity that it was done earlier! In terms of conditions, it won't be too late after 30 years. Anyway, with your country's industrial strength, you won't need too much alkali."

Even though he was acting on occasion, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but clenched his fists when he heard this.

Looking back at Fan Xudong, it was not much better.

"Zhiyuan, can you bear this?" Fan Xudong lowered his voice, his knuckles crunching.

Cheng Nuo patted him on the back lightly: "Let's finish reading the things first, and then talk about it later."

But when Cheng Nuo finished reading the document, he couldn't help but want to step forward and be violent.

It directly reads:

[-]. The Buneimen company sends people to the main process of each production department to manage the production;
[-]. Wynn is not allowed to send apprentices to learn technology;
[-]. Wynn products are all sold by Bu Neimen Company.

From the beginning to the end, the Yongli Alkali Factory was just a contractor. He didn't have anything to ask for, suffered a lot, and finally made wedding dresses for people.

Cheng Nuo immediately took the lead, and drove him out with his things.

"Get off, get off where you came from, you are not welcome at Wynn."

Li Lide has not yet reacted: "Professor Cheng, is this how you treat guests?"

Fan Xudong snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Li Quide, you can rest assured that we will never be friends in this life, so there is nothing wrong with treating you like an enemy."

Li Lide's eyes widened: "Are you willing to give up such a chance to get rich?"

Fan Xudong dismissed it: "We don't know how to sell the flesh of our compatriots."

At this time, Li Lide finally came to his senses, and said angrily: "Okay, you wait with me, sooner or later you will regret it."

Cheng Nuo raised his eyebrows: "This sentence is also returned to you, Mr. Li Quide!"

Originally, Li Lide wanted to continue to speak harshly, but he saw that someone had brought two big wolf dogs over and barked their teeth at him.

With a guilty conscience, he ran away in a hurry.

It was very far before he was willing to stop.

It's a pity that the distance was too far, and all the cruel words that were spoken were buried in the sea breeze.

Seeing this appearance, Fan Xudong and others couldn't help laughing.

But Cheng Nuo didn't have much smile on his face, and said seriously: "The shopping mall is like a war. This time he is suffering from us, and he must find the factory elsewhere. We'd better be careful."

Fan Xudong was still indulging in the pleasure of getting paid, and said with a smile: "Jing Zhiyuan, you have performed such a performance. In his eyes, we are not even as good as a grass-roots team. What can we do? Let's continue."

Jiang Jiangzuo said happily: "We have just obtained a policy from Beijing, saying that within a hundred miles of the site of the Yongli Soda Plant, no other similar factories are allowed. With this regulation, we basically have no worries."

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "I hope so."

The matter of Li Lide will be put aside for the time being. After the Yongli Soda Plant stabilizes the soda production and has a certain product reserve, invite major newspapers in Tianjin, Beijing and other places to come and visit them, and report and publish advertisements.

As a result, people's livelihood is the first to be touched.

In this special era, people basically don't have much savings in their hands. Under extreme poverty, even salt needs to be borrowed.

There is a pot of white edible salt in the kitchen at home, which is a symbol of strength.

As for alkali, for these common people, there is a bit of extravagance.

If the steamed buns are sour, it is sour, and it is enough to fill the stomach.

Especially when the current alkali price is seven or eight times higher than before World War I, there is still no market for it.

Many factories using alkali as raw material were forced to close down.

It was in such a serious seller's market that Cheng Nuo's Zhonghua brand soda ash was born.

At half the market price, it was born out of nowhere, which directly caused a sensation in the market.
