Chapter 480 Go to the capital again
Poor Fang Jianming didn't know that his promise this time became one of the calculations of two unscrupulous uncles and nephews. This caused him to be abandoned by Blackwater International in the Philippines for several years. After that, every time he thought of his downplay promise to Fang Jianming, he regretted it.
At this time, Fang Jianming did not know his future regret, but handed over his work to the retired political commissar and staff officers recruited by Jiang Huilin and others as soon as possible. After some training, these people were sent to Fang Jianming as their deputy to familiarize themselves with the operation of the whole Blackwater International. In fact, the current Blackwater International is more like a branch of the army, and almost all the important personnel in it have nothing to do with the army.
Not only front-line security personnel, but also management, relationship coordinators, logistics support, material procurement and management are almost all from the military. The logistics is managed by a part of the personnel of the former logistics department, the political commissar of the original army, and the management is mostly the chief officer of the original unit. Almost all of this series of personnel are from the army. However, they have been selected layer by layer and conducted a lot of training through the training team sent by Blackwater International, and then formed the current employees of Blackwater International.
For example, now Fang Jianming is surrounded by four or five assistants who were originally staff officers of the army. There is also a secretary who is a political commissar in the original army. Jiang Huilin and Song Wanru are no exception. They are all equipped with trained retired military officers. After learning, these people have mastered a certain amount of business knowledge and management operation methods, and are now gradually taking over the work of various departments of Blackwater International.
After receiving Tang Yu's request, Fang Jianming began to arrange the handover of his affairs. In Fang Jianming's opinion, the people around him were originally from the army, and they were not stupid. After a few months of study, it was time for them to practice. So he handed over the work in just three days, and then set off directly for the Philippines. After he left, Roland Gelk finally waited for Siemens' decision.
After extremely difficult discussions and various disputes, Siemens finally decided to give Roland Gerke a limited authorization to hand over the right to sell and produce S4's patent in the Asia-Pacific region to Song Wanru for the exchange VCD project. However, they still asked Roland Geylk to try his best not to carry out authorization measures, even if Roland Geylk paid more than the original $ 400 million authorization fee.
Three days later, Roland Gallke asked to meet Song Wanru again through Li Jiacheng. However, Song Wanru did not meet him directly, but sent a negotiation team led by Jiang Huilin and supplemented by Ou Dazhuang to start difficult negotiations with Roland Gerke. In these three days, Tang Yu has already secretly informed Ou Dachang and Jiang Huilin, and the focus can be on letting Siemens enter Liaohai to set up a factory. And attract Roland Gaelke with high-quality employees and low wages.
However, Tang Yu himself quietly flew back to the capital in a low profile. The food safety testing work that Tang Yu wanted to carry out must first greet the country. Otherwise, once you are caught, it will cause trouble, so at the suggestion of Song Wanru and Jiang Huilin, Tang Yu directly returned to the capital and went straight to Liuyin Street, intending to talk about things with Mr. He and Mr. Zhao, who are sitting at home.
After several hours of flight, Tang Yu finally got off the plane at the capital airport and slowly returned to Liuyin Street under the leadership of He Lao's exclusive red flag car. When Tang Yu got out of the car and entered the courtyard, He Laozheng and Zhao Lao were playing chess. Seeing Tang Yu coming in, Mr. He smiled and asked the guard to take the stool and said to him, "Sit down!"
Tang Yu bowed slightly to the old man and sat down gently. When Mr. Zhao saw Tang Yu coming, he smiled and directly messed up the chessboard with his big hand at the moment when Mr. He greeted him, "Oh! What kind of chess is Xiaoyu playing when he comes back?! Listening to this little guy's new things is the main thing!"
Seeing that his old comrade-in-arms actually messed up the chessboard while he was not paying attention, He was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. But the chessboard has been messed up, so how can it be restored?! So Mr. He had no choice but to laugh and scold Mr. Zhao, "You are so old! Use the excuse of the child to mess up the chessboard you want to lose, and you can do it!"
After listening to Mr. He's words, Mr. Zhao was not ashamed but proud. He snorted loudly, "This is called being unprepared to attack the enemy and unexpected! How do you understand what you mean?! You will blindly fight and kill fiercely, and pay attention to strategy!" Mr. He couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard his old comrades-in-arms playing rogues and tricks. After a while, he recovered and said to Mr. Zhao, "When Xiaoyu comes back today, I won't care about you, an old scoundrel. The child said on the phone that he had something important to say, and I'll talk to you after listening to the child's story.
With that, Mr. He took Tang Yu's hand and entered the attic together. Mr. Zhao followed proudly as if he had won a battle. After entering the attic, it was natural for the guard to serve the tea. When Tang Yu and Zhao Lao, who followed him, sat down, He Lao asked to the sun, "Little guy, what's the trouble for us two old guys to do for you this time?"
Tang Yu was stunned when he heard the old man's words, and then couldn't help smiling bitterly. Since I met the two old people, I have indeed given them a lot of problems. At the beginning, the establishment of Blackwater International even caused a lot of discussions among the founding fathers. Later, the popularization of intellectual property awareness has now become a national discussion. During the promotion of intellectual property awareness, the National Patent Office has received tens of thousands of patent applications in more than a month! The whole patent office is too busy, and the patent office also has an important task: to register these patents in Europe and the United States at the same time, so as to prevent these patents from being maliciously registered by others after being leaked.
However, the popularity of intellectual property awareness has also led to the malicious registration of patents by some people in China. Although this has caused some confusion, the problem has finally been solved under the coordination of the Patent Office and intellectual property experts. Other people came to the domestic application with invalid patents that have passed the protection period in the United States, which was also rejected.
At this time, the top leaders and the senior management of the capital found the extreme gap and emptiness in the field of intellectual property rights in the mainland. At the same time, Tang Yu, the proposer of this issue, gave a higher view. During Tang Yu's visit to the Philippines, the current No. 1 leader visited Liaohai and even personally met Tang Yu's godfather Su Muru. Curiously asking about Tang Yu's past, the statement of the No. 1 leader shocked many high-level officials in Liaohai. You should know that the top leader, after all, the No. 1 leader will inevitably be in power in the future. And he came to Liaohai to meet a prefecture-level mayor in person, which surprised many people!
At the same time, let those people with different thoughts in Dongling directly turn off the fire, which involves the No. 1 chief! I can't fight it! It's better to finish Su Murou's term of office honestly, or find an opportunity to transfer to another place. For a while, Su Muruo's words in Dongling City were even worse. Qian Qijian, who had lost his reputation because of the Wanjian incident, was even lower at this time. Although Chief No. 1 also met him when he first arrived in Dongling, he didn't have time to get excited, but Chief No. 1 called Su Muruo to his room to talk for nearly three hours after the dinner. Qian Qijian, who got the news, knew that he was completely abandoned by the province.
Now he is just an abandoned son in Dongling, and the previous quarrel and position with Su Murou made him unable to get close to Su Murou, so he can only wait alone for his final ending.
Of course, Tang Yu, who is now in the capital, does not know this news. Before, when he went to the Philippines, he could only contact Xiangjiang. Although Su Muru and others had Tang Yu's satellite phone, they did not tell him about these things. At this time, Tang Yu was extremely relaxed in front of Mr. He and Mr. Zhao, and said to the two old people for a moment.
"Since 1992, we officially opened the domestic retail market with restrictions, but because we have no foundation to operate the retail industry for decades, the retail industry has slowed down. At that time, the region was limited to five special zones, including Beijing, Shanghai, the patio directly under the jurisdiction of Beijing, Wuyang, Liaohai Dayun, Qingdao and Pengcheng. Each city allowed one or two joint venture retail commercial enterprises on a trial.
But for local governments, attracting foreign investment increases local tax revenue and provides more employment opportunities. In order to bypass the complicated examination and approval of pilot enterprises in Beijing, some foreign enterprises now adopt the method of establishing business consulting companies to export brands in order to expand rapidly in the short term.
He Lao and Zhao Lao couldn't help but be a little puzzled when they heard Tang Yu say these brainless words, but they still listened patiently. After all, after such a long period of contact, they have understood the habits of Tang Yu, a child. He always says something that seems to be unrelated, but in the end, you will find that these words are actually intrinsically related.
"Although we have very strict approval procedures for foreign retail to enter the Chinese market, some foreign retail enterprises have entered the market through other means. Now we are in a period of reform. The state allows joint venture business management companies. According to the relevant regulations, business management companies can only do consulting management, not investment.
That is to say, the foreign retail industry can only do the export of commercial management, and cannot really inject capital into the business of chain enterprises, but the joint venture mall can carry out commercial business activities without any policy restrictions. If the foreign capital passes through the custody of the mall business, then the foreign retail industry will naturally intervene in the operation of the enterprise and enter the retail market in the mainland.
With that, Tang Yu said to the two old people in awe, "Grandpa, the point is that our own retail industry has just started, and we have no concept of stores, services, logistics, etc. at all. The foreign retail industry has been operating for decades. The familiarity and standards of these businesses have reached a very high level! Once they come in now, they will strangle our private enterprises that are just in the initial stage! They can even annex, occupy and monopolize all our retail industry!"
Tang Yu's words are not alarmist. You should know that now the second largest French retail company in the world is planning to enter the mainland retail market! And they finally succeeded in taking advantage of the policy and entered the mainland retail industry through the shell of the joint venture! In fact, by the end of 2000, there were only 28 Sino-foreign joint venture retail enterprises approved by the state, but in fact, more than 300 retailers have entered the mainland through various shells! They silently encroached on most of the territory of mainland enterprises, and most of the retail industry in the mainland was swallowed up or closed down by them due to lack of effective protection.
In July 2004, TESCO Group, the largest retailer in the UK, spent 140 million pounds to acquire a 50% stake in the Tesco supermarket chain. So far, foreign retailers have changed the way of self-built or joint single stores to enter China, starting the first shot of foreign mergers and acquisitions of Chinese supermarkets! Since then, in February 2007, Wal-Mart acquired 35% of Haoyouduo shares for $264 million, and South Korea's Lotte Group acquired Times Retail for $635 million to enter the Jiangsu market in 2006!
Until 2010, Carrefour acquired Hebei Baolongcang Supermarket. After several twists and turns, Carrefour finally "taken" Hebei Baolongcang and completed its first acquisition since it entered China. Although a large number of people said at that time that they did not want to sell Baolongcang to foreign enterprises. The heads of many retail enterprises also said that it was a pity that Baolongcang was acquired by foreign-funded enterprises, but the helpless thing is that everyone seems to be helpless to watch them encroach on the retail industry in the mainland step by step.
