Chapter 304: If you are wrong, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must hold your head.
Although he knew that Gao Jin was telling the truth, Karl's expression was somewhat dark.
Recruiting researchers takes time, purchasing equipment takes time, and research and development takes time. If you want to see mobile phone companies create profits, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult this year.
"Although I can't create news for the time being, I do have a way to immediately increase the employment rate." Gao Jin said with a smile, and Carl looked at Gao Jin with bright eyes.
"Sweet Orange Company's office building is too old. I took a look today and found that many rooms have water seepage problems."
"To rebuild the entire company, we need to build a headquarters worthy of the status of Nebula Mobile Phone Company."
"The mayor will definitely be familiar with construction companies. Can you recommend one?"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he looked at Karl and smiled, and Karl also smiled. He was truly worthy of being from China. What he said was so accurate.
“It is the consistent style of our municipal government to solve problems for enterprises and support their development.”
"I know a lot of construction companies, some of them are quite powerful."
"For example, Bernard's construction company is very good. It has completed several large projects for the city in the past few years, and the quality of the projects is recognized as good."
After Carl finished speaking, he raised his glass, Gao Jin also raised it with a smile, and Bernard also raised his glass with a smile. The three of them clinked their glasses, looked at each other, and all laughed.
Raising their hands, the three of them drank all the red wine in their glasses.
At this time, the food ordered by the three people was brought to them by the waiter. Bernard stood up with a smile on his face and opened the wine bottle to refill the glasses of the three people with red wine. The three people drank and chatted.
After eating and drinking, they finished a bottle of red wine. When the three of them walked to the door and separated, Karl shook hands with Gao Jin and said a word.
"Mr. Gao, please elaborate on the sincerity of the city of Nantes. We very much welcome large international companies to invest in Nantes, and we will provide as much help as we can."
Gao Jin didn't even say anything with a smile, he just nodded, shook hands with Karl and Bernard, got in the car and left directly.
Karl glanced at Bernard, Bernard nodded, and the two got in the car and left.
Gao Jin returned to the hotel to rest, while Bernard and Karl drove to a remote place in the Loire River. The two got out of the car and found a stone chair to sit down and talk.
“This height is not easy”
"Although he looks young, he has a deep understanding of the ways of the world and is tactful in doing things." Karl said his evaluation of Gao Jin.
Bernard smiled, took out a cigarette from his arms and handed one to Karl, helped Karl light it, lit one himself, took a deep breath and spit it out.
"This is normal. If he didn't have this ability, the Xingling Group would not be where it is today."
"Just like just now, you said you wanted to support him, but he just smiled and said nothing."
"The meaning is very simple. Support must be implemented. If there are no actual benefits, I'm afraid this project of mine will also go to waste."
"Even after signing the contract, he will definitely have reasonable and legal means to prevent me from getting the project payment in the end."
"He's a realist"
"This is also your opportunity. I don't believe he entered the mobile phone market blindly. He must have his unique considerations."
"What I'm worried about is, once his mobile phone sells well in Europe and China, will he be able to withstand the pressure from competitors?"
"It is also a huge pressure for you. Whether you can withstand the pressure is also a huge test for you."
Bernard is also very shrewd. Although he is engaged in business but not politics, it does not mean that Bernard's political thinking is not good. Bernard has his own unique views on things from the perspective of standing on the sidelines.
"Bernard, you are worried for nothing"
"Don't forget, Nantes is a huge vote base. If I win the mayoral election next year, my voice will increase again."
"I asked people to collect some information about Xingling Group this afternoon. They have considerable investments in France, Germany, and Italy."
"Italy Aurora Biological Company has more than 600 employees, which indirectly affects more than 4,000 jobs. You know the profits and taxes."
"Germany's Nebula Technology Company, Mechanical Research Institute, and Starlight Security Company have a total of more than 1,300 employees in the three companies."
"Some parts of the air water cup, as well as many production lines, are all German companies, and the indirect impact on jobs is no less than 2,000."
"Including the taxes paid every month, Hamburg definitely doesn't want anything to happen to these three companies."
"Now he is investing in France again"
"If you look carefully, he is not blindly setting up a mobile phone company in France. This is a strategic layout."
After Karl finished speaking, he took a deep drag on his cigarette. He didn't usually smoke, and only in front of old friends could he put aside his usual pretense and smoke a cigarette to relieve his worries.
"So, his strategic plan is to win the two major markets of China and Europe in one fell swoop."
"He's a smart guy"
Bernard said this with a smile, and he understood very well why Karl was analyzing that some words cannot be said clearly, and if they are said clearly, they must be harmonized.
"You are right"
"His layout is very simple, but very practical."
"I also called my friend Betsy in Germany and asked about Nebula Technology Company. You know what she does?"
"She told me something"
"Relevant departments discovered an illegal purchase of experimental equipment. As a result, the matter was suppressed."
"Firstly, because the evidence does not involve the Xingling Group, secondly, because Hamburg strongly objects, and thirdly, because this matter also involves an Italian company."
"Italy has made it clear that it refuses to cooperate and must not affect the normal production of Aurora Biotechnology Company."
"His layout has begun to show results."
"In the future, his investment in Nantes will start operating normally. For tax reasons, we must be cautious when it comes to the Protoss Group."
"If Prototype Group goes public, go buy Prototype Group stock. It is definitely a high-quality stock."
Carl said this with a smile, and Bernard smiled, knowing exactly what the name of Angel in Carl's mouth was, that was Carl's girlfriend from college.
Over the years, the relationship between the two has never been broken.
"What are you going to do?" Bernard asked.
"It's very simple. Just provide certain support according to the city government's documents. We don't need to do much at this stage. Everything will wait until Nebula Mobile Company operates normally."
Karl said these words very simply. The policy is ready-made, but many people cannot get the most preferential policy. He gave the most preferential policy without violating the laws at all.
As for environmental charity donations, the media simply did not dare to attack this point, not to mention that Gao Jin said that this matter would be handled by his lawyer.
The lawyer will definitely handle every detail and make everything reasonable and legal.
This is the standard practice of large companies. All my actions are reasonable and legal, and you have no problem with me.
Tuz Hotel, high-end room.
Haider Hill was reporting today's work to the finance department. The accounts were basically clear. So far, Sweet Orange Company's external debt is only over 200,000 yuan.
The more than 200,000 yuan is still owed to the Nantes city government.
The Municipal Government of Nantes holds 10% of the shares of Sweet Orange Company, and the remaining shares are scattered among 19 people. Seventeen shareholders have left their contact information, and only two shareholders have left the company name.
According to the investigation, one of the two companies went bankrupt five years ago, and the other three years ago.
The company has been cancelled, and it is impossible to find out who owns the shares.
The company currently holds 293 patents, all of which are basically useless. They are backward patents and have no value at all.
The fixed assets have also been checked. The book value is more than 7 million euros, but the actual value is less than 1 million.
Especially the company building is basically worthless. The building is seriously aging and must be demolished and rebuilt.
There are 78 employees registered today. Counting CEO Modi, according to French law, a total of more than 17 million is needed for severance pay.
After Gao Jin heard the amount of severance pay, his eyes narrowed. It was so much.
He turned around and looked at Heydrich. Heydrich nodded seriously. There was nothing wrong with this. Such a large amount of money was needed.
regret!
Gao Jin really started to regret it!
I was really a slut, seeing the beauty sad, I took her in regardless.
It's too late to regret now.
Gao Jin said a Chinese saying with a bitter look on his face: "If you are wrong, you have to admit it, and if you are beaten, you have to hold your head."
"You should go back and rest first."
Gao Jin said something, and the financial officer stood up conspicuously, knowing that he could not participate in the next topic.
After seeing off the finance minister, Gao Jin came back and took a sip of water before he started talking.
"Heidhill, you go to the city hall tomorrow to see Deputy Mayor Karl. I just had dinner with him. He should provide us with some supportive policies."
"By the way, donate one million euros to the Charitable Protection Fund of the Loire River"
"Have a good talk with Karl, repay the debt, and discuss buying the shares held by the city government at a low price. The remaining shares will be slowly diluted later."
Gao Jin rubbed his head and said this. Haider Hill shook his head and rejected Gao Jin's proposal.
"Boss, I suggest that the Nantes city government retain this 10% share. We can either acquire the other shareholders or directly dilute them. There is no need to be polite to them."
"The mobile phone industry is different from other industries. With government departments taking shares, many things will be much more convenient."
"With ten percent of the shares, you won't get much profit. It's really a good shield."
After speaking, Haider Hill looked at Gao Jin meaningfully. Gao Jin had a look of realization on his face and gave Haider Hill a thumbs up.
As expected of a barrister, he considers the issues thoroughly and allows the Nantes city government to continue to maintain its shares. Many things are given the green light. Even if there are any storms, it is a huge shield against the rain.
"Change it"
"You should discuss with Carl and let the Nantes city government continue to hold 10% of the shares. Next, we will demolish and rebuild the headquarters of the Sweet Orange Company. They can also contribute."
"The subsequent purchase of experimental equipment and company operations will require a lot of investment. They cannot just hold the shares in vain and not contribute."
After Gao Jin said these words with a smile, Haider Hill also smiled. Although Gao Jin was very young, he grew up very quickly.
Last year, Gao Jin would definitely not have adopted his own opinions, but now, what he said has been directly adopted.
If things go on like this, Xingling Group will have a promising future!
