Chapter 76 Only Worth a Thousand Dollars
Jing Jian was dumbfounded. How optimistic is he to the Chinese market? How could he arrange a small person like Jason like to be an insignificant project with a total investment of more than US$30 million and become the actual general manager?
At this time, Jing Jian finally understood why in the early stages of reform and opening up, European, American and Western multinational corporations and large enterprises rarely invested directly in China, and at most they set up offices like a flash of water, and the mainland headquarters were often located in Hong Kong. On the contrary, there were many small and medium-sized businessmen in Hong Kong and Taiwan. They either wanted to make short-term profits out of homesickness or wanted to make a lot of money.
The key is scientific investment!
If we make scientific business analysis based on the actual situation of China at this time, it is indeed not a good place to invest. The blind investment in Hong Kong and Taiwan is completely a kind of gambling. However, the result is ridiculous. Those who lead the way basically win the bet, while those who talk about science beat their chests and stamp their feet. It is helpless that China in this era is a miracle country, violating almost all scientific laws.
An impulse, or a sense of mission, suddenly arose. Jing Jian was ready to come up with an idea to make Jason take this project seriously and use snacks, at least not messing up, and it would be better to achieve great success. This is also a little contribution to the development of the country, right?
Jing Jian did not want to refute Jason's "scientific analysis" and only added to the verbal dispute. His starting point was to focus on the cost that Jason was most concerned about: "Frank, after hearing you just now, I found that you had a misunderstanding. First of all, you admit that you are very serious about business. Although the purpose of investment is not very pure, and you mean that you want to obtain preferential loans, the machines you are preparing to invest in are still relatively advanced."
Jason was a little surprised: "Is there anything wrong with this? And those machines, compared to the most advanced in the world, are still a whole generation behind. From the perspective of efficiency and cost, they are no longer suitable."
"What about those machines you eliminated? The machines that were ready to be scrap iron in the warehouse?" Jing Jian smiled.
After being inspired by this, Jason immediately fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, Jason's eyes lit up and he stood up: "What else?"
"This meal is worth so much." Jing Jian joked and raised his wine glass, "but for his friends."
"Haha, toast to my friend!"
"There is also a reward system for local suppliers. You can provide a catalog and ask for requirements... In addition, your products can be divided into several levels, high-end export type, and medium-end local type..."
“…”
In the next hour, Jing Jian almost came out to plan a very complete business plan for Jason. In fact, it is not complicated to say. It is nothing more than that China is too behind. Even if Europe and the United States are eliminated, it is still considered advanced here. In that case, if the machines that have been eliminated are exchanged for those slightly backward machines, the investment cost will be almost zero. As for production efficiency? Will China lack workers?
For the others, if you pay a little money, you will reward local suppliers, so that they can provide qualified spare parts and save the cost of importing spare parts; lower technical standards and produce local medium and low-end machinery, which can also reduce sales prices and even export to low-demand third world countries...
After explaining everything, Jing Jian smiled and said, "Frank, if this is the case, you should be admired by the family, right?"
Jing Jian was in a very happy mood at this time. On the surface, it seemed that China suffered a loss and did not introduce advanced technology. But in this matter, it was the most suitable one. Only when Jason's investment group made money, they would be more attentive. They even attracted other jealous investors, formed competition, and continuously introduced advanced technology and additional investment. The increase in hiring workers can help many people find employment. It was a disguised thing.
Jason also smiled happily: "Jing, thank you so much. In addition, as a friend, there is one thing you need to calculate clearly, that is your reward. To express your gratitude, I am willing to give you a thousand dollars."
"Hmm?" Jing Jian was a little funny. Although he had heard that Westerners were more direct in business and were often separated from their feelings and were very particular. But it was still surprising that such directness was still, "Frank, are you... Jews?"
"Hahaha, my friend. I am a descendant of Ireland." Obviously, Jason understood what Jing Jian meant, "Don't think it's too little, I've already inquired about the income here. This should be a huge sum of money, right?"
Although I understand that Jason was not wrong, Jing Jian felt a little unhappy: "Is this business plan worth this?"
"No, no, no, Jing." Jason hurriedly denied, "If this plan comes from experts in North America, it would be worth 100,000 US dollars. If it is Europe and Japan, it would be at least 50,000 US dollars. If it is Hong Kong, it would be 10,000 US dollars. And you in China, one thousand is already a lot. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to insult you. Each region has a price, and I am a merchant."
Jing Jian was quite surprised, and he didn't expect that he would hear such an answer. Jason continued: "I can give you two thousand or even three thousand in private, but because we are friends, that is an insult to you. Believe me, if you are willing to take a break from school to help me, I can guarantee that you will be paid the same as those Chinese in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, a weekly salary of two hundred dollars should be very high, right? You can also get it. And you are talented, and the United States welcomes people like you. If you swore to the Constitution one day, I can guarantee that you can get the same reward for us. But now, I can only sorry, because I am a businessman!"
In an instant, Jing Jian had the urge to beat people, and his mood completely fell to the bottom. However, reason told him that Jason's approach was nothing wrong. Everyone was not only his own individual, but also labeled as his own country forever. Discrimination was even more omnipresent.
After thinking about it, Jing Jian shook his head and smiled: "The reward is exempted. I have something to do. I have 1,500 yuan by my side. I want to exchange some US dollars or exchange coupons from you."
"This..." Jason also shook his head, "I can give you everything in my pocket, there are probably more than 2,000 left. What kind of exchange coupons do you mentioned are, right? But you are at a loss. Give it to you, this is my business card, which is my American contact information. If you have any questions, you can find me. If you insist on not giving the reward, then I owe you a favor."
Jing Jian took the thick stack and handed over his own RMB. He didn't need to be too polite at this time, he just wanted to leave quickly.
Jason smiled and said, "I found that you like this kind of paper here. Have you seen it?" Jason hinted at the direction of the female translator staring at Jing Jian's hand, "You can try it if it's only a hundred. But these days, she has been fascinated by Johnny. Oh my God, don't she know that Johnny is gay?"
"Haha, I'm not like you." After all, Jason said nothing wrong, and Jing Jian didn't want to be too scrupulous.
Unexpectedly, Jane Senliang lit up his wedding ring and winked at Jing Jian: "You are wrong, I am a Puritan."
"ha?"
