The middle-aged translator said, "It's quite difficult to communicate with such officials because it's hard to deceive them. Chinese people are getting smarter and smarter, especially in business cooperation. It's hard to take advantage of them. And it's easy to fall into their trap if you're not careful."
"It seems that the previous failure was a big blow to you. I remember that you often encouraged me to invest in Huaxia." Father Park smiled and said, "As early as ten years ago, many friends came to Huaxia to invest. At that time, there was really gold everywhere. Chinese officials were also very easy to deceive. When they saw that it was foreign investment, they wanted to give us all the land and tax policies for free. Now it is different. China's economic strength has become stronger, and the quality of officials has also improved a lot. Now it is impossible to pick up gold. You need to spend some effort to dig it out. However, because of this, the risk factor is much smaller. Now China's economic environment is very stable, and there are many opportunities. It depends on whether you can seize them."
The middle-aged translator nodded and said, "President, your analysis is correct. China is indeed much more standardized now. If you enter at this time, you can avoid a lot of risks. However, I find it hard to understand why you chose Hanzhou?"
Father Park sighed and said, "Isn't it all for Hyun-ah?"
Since Park Hyun-a plans to stay in Hanzhou for a while, Park's father might as well build a base here so that he can take care of Park Hyun-a.
Early the next morning, in the small conference room on the third floor of the municipal government office building, Executive Vice Mayor Zang Yi received Mr. Park Dae-chung, Chairman of the South Korean Silan Foundation and his delegation.
The Silan Group is one of the four pillar groups in South Korea, along with Hyundai and Samsung. These three companies once accounted for 80% of the country's total GDP. In South Korea, basically most of the companies you see are related to these three groups. Among them, the Silan Group mainly targets markets such as Europe and America, so its investment in China is not very large.
As the Chinese market has gradually opened up in recent years, the Silan Group is also preparing to slowly enter the Chinese market to get a piece of the pie.
Korean companies have a common feature, most of them are export-oriented companies, because Korea's geographical area and population are limited, it is difficult to maintain its own development by relying on domestic demand. With the impact of the European subprime mortgage crisis, the development of the Silan Group in the past two years has been seriously affected, so they tried to bring a second development opportunity to the company by entering China.
Zang Yi shook hands with Park Dae-chung and said with a smile in English: "It's nice to meet you, Chairman Park. It has been three years since we last met."
Park Dae-chung smiled and said in Korean: "Yes, three years have passed. You are more energetic, but I have aged a lot."
Zang Yi and Pu Dazhong exchanged a few polite greetings and held a discussion with the help of an interpreter. Two deputy mayors from the Hanzhou Municipal Government attended the meeting today, which shows the importance they attach to the Silan Foundation.
Park Dazhong said, "I spoke with Minister Wei of the National Development and Reform Commission on the phone two days ago. He suggested that we could provide certain support to the Silan Group in the fields of energy and automobile manufacturing. You are Minister Wei's right-hand man, so he recommended you."
Zang Yi smiled and said, "Minister Wei also mentioned this to me. He asked me to provide the best policy to allow the Silan Financial Group to settle in Hanzhou."
Park Dazhong winked at the secretary behind him, and the secretary took out a business plan. Zang Yi took it and flipped through a few pages, with surprise in his eyes, because he didn't expect that the Silan Group would be so generous this time. The mechanical products of the Silan Group have always represented the highest level of development of Korean industry, and have created recognized achievements in the fields of diesel engines, excavators, vehicles, automatic machine tools, robots, etc. And this business plan is to build the largest factory in China in Hanzhou, with an estimated capital of 5 billion US dollars.
Zang Yi is also used to seeing big projects. When he was in the Development and Reform Commission, he personally experienced many national projects. The business report of Silan Group can already be classified as a national project, which is rare not only in Huainan, but also in the whole country. If Silan Group is willing to invest in Hanzhou, it means that the industrial manufacturing strategy has been completely successfully laid out. The economic debate between Fang Zhicheng and Zang Yi will also come to an end.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zang Yi closed the proposal and said with a smile: "Chairman Park, no wonder you came to Huaxia in person to discuss this project. This is indeed an exciting project. If it is really successful, it will play a huge role in promoting the development of Hanzhou. So we will attach importance to this cooperation and strive for the best policy benefits."
Park Dazhong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "We have handed over our proposal to you. Now we hope to wait for your policy benefits to us."
Zang Yi quickly asked, "I wonder what policy Chairman Park needs?"
Park Dazhong smiled faintly and said, "This is not a proposition essay. What kind of discount can attract us? This requires you to spend some time to impress Silan."
Zang Yi thought to himself that although Park Dae-chung looked friendly, he was definitely not someone who could be easily fooled. No requirements were the highest requirement. He had thrown out the bait, and the Hanzhou government had to work hard to please Park Dae-chung.
It has to be said that although it was the first meeting, the Silan Group firmly took the initiative.
The news that the Silan Group was going to invest 5 billion US dollars in Hanzhou spread in the official circles, and naturally reached Fang Zhicheng's ears. Fang Zhicheng did not connect this matter with Park Hyun-ya's father. After all, although he guessed that Park's father was a very powerful person, he did not expect that he was the helmsman of one of the three largest conglomerates in South Korea.
Fang Zhicheng was also worried when he heard this. He knew that if the Silan Group settled in Hanzhou, it would mean that Zang Yi's position would be more stable. Even if the Sky Supermarket Network could shine in the future, he would still lose in this economic debate.
Although he was worried, he still had to do things. Fang Zhicheng called Liu Chuan and asked about the recent situation of Sky Supermarket. Liu Chuan also reported the situation to Fang Zhicheng truthfully. Sky Supermarket's logistics distribution points have basically covered all large, medium and small cities in the country, and the 48-hour door-to-door delivery service will be launched in March or April next year. In other words, as long as consumers purchase goods on Sky Supermarket, as long as the distribution outlets covered by Sky Supermarket will be able to receive the goods within two days.
According to the original plan, Liu Chuan thought that for the sake of safety, the time should be set to 72 hours, but Fang Zhicheng believed that the delivery time was the lifeline that affected the survival and development of the online mall, so it must be emphasized within 48 hours. After all, the number of orders on Sky Supermarket Network was not large at present. If the number of orders increased in the future, it would be more difficult to speed up. It would be better to set strict requirements on speed from the beginning.
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Secretary Fang, I have an idea. I want to hire you to be the strategic planner of our Sky Supermarket Network. Because many of your suggestions are very accurate and more professional than those of us in the industry."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. I am standing outside the situation, so I can see some things more clearly."
Liu Chuan nodded and said, "Then I hope Secretary Fang will give me more guidance in the future."
Fang Zhicheng joked: "I am now putting all my energy into Sky Supermarket, so Sky Supermarket must produce results."
Liu Chuan said: "I have also heard about the competition between you and Mayor Zang. I just want to say that you must trust your own vision."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement."
Liuchuan said in a deep voice: "I will prove you are right with practical actions."
After hanging up the phone with Liu Chuan, Fang Zhicheng sighed, and his cell phone rang. It was his third uncle calling. Su Lin smiled and said, "Zhicheng, are you busy recently?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Not bad."
Su Lin hummed and said, "Although you are busy, you still need to take a rest. By the way, how are the phones I gave you?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's OK. I sent a few copies according to your suggestion. The effect is good and the other party likes it very much."
One was given to Wan Heng's daughter Wan Yi, one was given to Qin Yuming, one was used by himself, and the other was prepared for Ye Qingrou.
Fang Zhicheng deliberately said that he had given all of them away, because he knew that Su Lin would be very happy if he said that. Sure enough, Su Lin laughed and said, "Zhicheng, your uncle is awesome! He will definitely think of you when he has something good in the future. By the way, I called you to tell you that the New Year is coming soon, so come home early for the New Year this year."
Fang Zhicheng felt a warm current in his heart and said with a smile: "Uncle San, I understand!"
Chapter 0780 There are too many helplessness in the world
Su Lin and Fang Zhicheng became very close and became close friends. They discussed a wide range of topics, and even Su Lin would tell Fang Zhicheng about some of his recent romantic encounters. Fang Zhicheng sometimes felt really weird. Should he respect Su Lin as an elder? Because Su Lin was too cynical, a typical super playboy.
Of course, you can't deny his lifestyle. Su Lin can be said to be the freest person in the Su family. He can do whatever he wants without any restrictions. Fang Zhicheng thinks that compared with this third uncle, he is bound. Everyone has a different life, and Su Lin chose another path.
Su Lin talked to him about a lot of gossip in the Yanjing circle. Fang Zhicheng was confused, but he understood Su Lin's good intentions. He would be exposed to that circle one day, and he was preparing himself in advance so that he would not be without any reserves when the time comes.
Su Lin sighed softly and said, "The situation in Yanjing circles has changed suddenly. Zang Yi is very sensitive and has directly hidden in Hanzhou."
