"Old Zhou, how are we going to settle this? Now, everyone is saying that Jianlibao is finished and going bankrupt. Do you know how much impact this will have on the company? Didn't I tell you to keep this under control and not let anyone else know about this? "Sanshui City's No. 1, Xu Sicheng, said.
"We can control our local media, but the media outlets from other cities are reporting on this. We can only get the banks to give Jianlibao loans! "Sanshui City's No. 2, Zhou Dawei, said.
While Xu Sicheng and Xu Sicheng were still discussing, Xu Sicheng's secretary knocked on the door and entered. Chief Wang Liang from the Investment Promotion Agency is here with good news.
Good news? Xu Sicheng and Xu Sicheng looked at each other and asked their secretary to call Chief Wang in.
"Two leaders, good news, great news. I had gone to Guangzhou a few days ago, and I had brought back a few wealthy foreign businessmen! "Wang Liang said excitedly.
"Wealthy foreign businessmen? Old Wang, I know you are working hard, but which foreign businessmen are willing to invest in Sanshui City? You had brought those businessmen back from Guangzhou, and we can only help them raise the prices. "Zhou Dawei shook his head with a wry smile.
Last year, Sanshui City had brought a few foreign businessmen to Sanshui City. In the end, those businessmen still went to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. No matter how good Sanshui City's offer is, it's useless.
"It's different. These businessmen are different. They want to invest in beverages, and they had contacted Le Bashi!" Wang Liang replied excitedly.
Invest in beverages? That's right. Jianlibao is the leader of Hua Xia's beverage industry. That's right. If they can attract foreign investors, it will solve Jianlibao's financial problems. Also, the higher-ups are tasked to attract foreign investors, and this is considered a political achievement.
"Where are the foreign businessmen? There will be a banquet in the City tonight, and Old Zhou and I will be there to welcome them!" Xu Sicheng quickly made his decision.
Wang Liang asked. "Leader, should we call Manager Li along?"
In Sanshui, only Li Jingwei could be called Boss Li. Every year, when there was a big meeting in the city, Li Jingwei would sit on the podium like a city leader. He was even jokingly called Sanshui's third in command.
Most of Sanshui's income came from Jianlibao. Without Jianlibao, Sanshui wouldn't have been able to become a county-level city. These leaders didn't have to move their positions, and their ranks were raised by half a level.
Xu Sicheng and Zhou Dawei looked at each other and made a decision. "Don't inform him yet. Let's wait for the city to contact the foreign businessmen first!"
Wang Liang's eyes were filled with surprise. When it came to matters involving Jianlibao, the leader actually refused to communicate with Li Jingwei. Could it be that Li Jingwei's relationship with the leader had really soured?
Li Jingwei wanted to get Jianlibao listed and then MBO. This was not a secret, and many people in the city knew about it. And this request was rejected by the leaders of the city. Of course, they already knew that. This group of people in the office spread the news as fast as the aunties on the streets.
… …
"Leader, let me introduce you all. This is Mr. Kirilenko from Russia, and this is Mr. Feng from the US. Both of them had set up a big company in New York. This is Mr. Li. He had set up a company in Canada. This is Mr. Fu. He had set up a company in Singapore. Everyone, this is Sanshui's Secretary Xu and Mayor Zhou. "
Xu Sicheng knew that Mr. Li was Superman Li's youngest son, and Mr. Fu was a Hong Kong businessman who owned a few factories in Guancheng. That Mr. Feng was also a Hong Kong businessman. But he was doing business in the US. These were all wealthy foreign businessmen.
Feng Yu and the rest passed their name cards to Xu Sicheng. Other than Kirilenko, the rest of them were using English.
Feng Yu knew that Xu Sicheng could not read English, but he still asked them to use English name cards. In this era, English name cards were more useful than Chinese!
Xu Sicheng pretended to look at the name cards for a long time, but he did not understand a single word. But he still smiled and said: "Welcome to Sanshui. We will give you all the best policies!"
"Secretary Xu, we are only here for a visit. Thank you for spending so much today." Fu Guangzheng purposely said.
As expected, Xu Sicheng and Zhou Dawei had an anxious look on their faces. Zhou Dawei said: "Mr. Fu, I heard that you all are going to invest in the beverage industry? Our Sanshui's Jianlibao is the most famous beverage brand in Hua Xia. No other brands can compete with it. "
"Of course. If it weren't for Jianlibao, we would also not be here. We had wanted to start negotiations with Le Bashi. "Fu Guangzheng replied calmly.
Le Bashi and the rest had contacted Feng Yu, but the other party had no intention of letting them invest.
"That means you all are still interested in our Jianlibao, right? How do you all intend to cooperate? "Zhou Dawei asked.
"We have sales channels in many regions. Mr. Feng has connections with many supermarkets in the US. Mr. Kirilenko has sales companies in many European countries. Mr. Li has partners in Canada, UK, etc. I have experience in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Japan, etc. We intend to use our funds and our sales channels to set up a joint venture company with Jianlibao. "Fu Guangzheng explained.
Among all of them, Fu Guangzheng's Cantonese was the best, and he was the one to negotiate. Feng Yu and the rest acted as if Fu Guangzheng was the leader.
"How much do you all intend to invest and how many shares are you all going to own?" Zhou Dawei asked.
This was what they were most concerned about. If they own too many shares, they will not agree. If they were to offer too little, they will not agree!
"We plan to invest 40 million USD and our sales channels. We want 60% of the shares." Fu Guangzheng replied.
"Impossible. We must be the controlling shareholder of Jianlibao, and we can only give you all 40% of the shares." Zhou Dawei rejected.
How can he let an outsider have the final say in Jianlibao? If that's the case, they will not be able to place their people and funds into Jianlibao.
"Bosses, it's business. We can talk about it. How about you all visit our Jianlibao Group tomorrow before you make your decision? "Xu Sicheng tried to smooth things over.
Both of them were cooperating. One of them had a red face, and the other had a white face. They were tempted by the 40 million USD investment. With this amount, Jianlibao would be able to recover. At least, they could give the distributors a sum of money and let them trust Jianlibao.
This would also allow the US branch to produce new products. This year, Jianlibao's sales and taxes will reach new heights.
The City had solved Jianlibao's financial problems and had also attracted foreign investors. They had completed the task given by the higher-ups. They might have to give up a portion of their shares, but so what? Now, China was promoting joint ventures. They were responding to the call of the government!
Feng Yu observed the expressions of these two leaders and knew they were tempted by the 40 million USD offer!
