"Boss, my opinion is not in Tokyo, because although Tokyo is good in all aspects at present, the land cost in Tokyo is too high. It is not very cost-effective for us to acquire land now. In a multi-million dollar investment, the Tokyo City Hall
You may not notice it," Takahashi Shogo said with a serious face, Guo Yongren nodded, this analysis is very accurate.
"That place you mean?" Guo Yongren asked, picking up a cup of tea and drinking it.
"My opinion is Nagoya," Takahashi Shogo said seriously. Guo Yongren nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"There are several advantages to choosing Nagoya. First, Nagoya's location is very good, and transportation is convenient. You can quickly reach various cities in Japan by highway. Second, the Nagoya government needs external capital investment. Japan's development is uneven.
Yes, Tokyo is very prosperous near Tokyo, but other places are much worse. Thirdly, our procurement is very convenient. It is close to the port. The flour and various raw materials we need can be directly transported to the port and transferred to the company very quickly.
Convenient, fourth, Nagoya has the best public security environment in Japan, and the best investment environment. Fifth, Nagoya’s basic development is second only to Tokyo, and it is also a rapidly developing city in Japan." Takahashi Shogo told his story
analyze.
"What about you, do you have any different opinions?" Guo Yongren asked directly. Oshima and the others all shook their heads and did not think about it that much. This is because Takahashi Shogo can take charge of the overall situation, while others are barely able to.
"Do you know Nagoya's investment policy?" Guo Yongren asked. Takahashi Shogo shook his head and said he didn't have any.
"Boss, this is not a difficult matter. As long as you tell us that we are investing when you get to Nagoya, someone from the Nagoya City Government will come to negotiate with us. Everything can be discussed," Shogo Takahashi said with a serious face. This is not his first time doing this.
Done it once.
Guo Yongren thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I'll check out directly here, and we'll go to Nagoya and take a look at the environment there." Guo Yongren immediately made a decision.
None of the people had any objections. Guo Yongren directly arranged for someone to move the room, and then hired a few cars to drive directly to Nagoya. He would go to Nagoya to rest tonight. In the startup stage, he had to rush for time.
In the evening, I stayed at the Aichi Hotel, a very famous hotel in Nagoya. There was definitely nothing to discuss today. After dinner, Guo Yongren asked Takahashi Shogo to go to the city hall early tomorrow morning to inquire about the investment policy, and everyone else followed.
Guo Yongren waited for their return at the hotel.
At noon the next day, several people came back and brought back Nagoya's investment policy, which was divided into several standards: one million, five million, ten million, and more than 100 million. Of course, they were all calculated in US dollars.
Yes, Guo Yongren looked at it. Even if it was based on five million US dollars, the discount was not very large, and he was a little unhappy.
"Boss, look at the 10 million US dollars," Takahashi Shogo said directly. Guo Yongren looked at the conditions for 10 million, and it was obviously much higher than the 5 million. After all, according to his own opinion, a food factory of his own could not
It requires so much investment.
"Boss, if we want our products to cover the entire Japan, the production capacity of this site cannot be small. I analyze that three million is not enough, and at least five million is needed." Takahashi Shogo said directly, with a very expression on his face.
of seriousness.
Guo Yongren did the math and found that based on the output, it would need to be at least three times that of the Shanghai factory. In addition, all costs in Japan are much more expensive than those in Shanghai, so five million is really not much.
I'm afraid it's not enough. I underestimated the land price here in Japan.
"Go on and tell me all your plans." At this time, Guo Yongren was sure that Takahashi Shogo had other plans, otherwise he would not be so calm.
"Boss, the hotels here in Nagoya are backward. There are only two five-star hotels for now, but the decoration and other aspects are not up to the real five-star standards. I just saw it at the city hall. They are located in
There is a large piece of land for sale in the suburbs. We can take it and invest in building a real five-star hotel. In this way, an investment of ten million US dollars will not be a problem for us at all. We can definitely seek other discounts in addition."
Takahashi Shogo revealed his plan.
It has to be said that Takahashi Shogo's mind was spinning very fast. He had considered so many things in one morning. Guo Yongren smiled. He was not afraid that his subordinates would be ambitious, but he was afraid that his subordinates would not be motivated. Takahashi Shogo's ambition
There is no doubt that the heart is showing up.
"Yes, you are very good. I will leave this matter to you. Just reply to me after negotiating the terms. The three people from Oshima will assist you in your actions," Guo Yongren said directly.
"Hey, you must live up to your trust," Takahashi Shogo said with a serious face. He won the bet. The boss is also a very ambitious person, and he is very powerful and worthy of his efforts.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king. This is the attitude of Shogo Takahashi. If Guo Yongren did not have this courage, he would resign politely and would never work hard. A boss without ambitions will not be able to develop the company. This has been proven by history.
I have summarized it many times.
Takahashi Shogo's progress was very fast. In just three days, he brought two documents to Guo Yongren for review. They were all in Japanese and Guo Yongren couldn't understand them. Takahashi Shogo translated them beside him. These are two pieces of land.
A copy of the intent of the sale and purchase agreement, one piece is the land where he said the five-star hotel will be built, and the other is the land for the factory.
After sending away Takahashi Shogo, Guo Yongren began to think. It was not that Guo Yongren had done nothing in the past three days. At the very least, he asked Zhou Wenchao to send the two people who graduated from Japanese universities and let Guan Du go there.
Contact a local law firm to facilitate temporary hiring.
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must also have the intention to guard against others. If you don’t understand Japanese, you must have someone around you who does. At the same time, you also secretly hired three foreign students who understand Chinese. These foreign students are all proficient in Chinese and Japanese.
"Dajun, take these two documents and ask three international students to translate them. Translate them separately to see if there are any problems." Guo Yongren explained, and Fang Zhanzhan left the hotel with the documents and came to a small hotel next door.
, three international students were arranged here.
In about an hour, Fang Zhanhan came over with the translation and handed it to Guo Yongren to look at. Guo Yongren looked at it and nodded, saying it was similar to what Takahashi Shogo said.
Early the next morning, after Guo Yongren met Takahashi Shogo and the others, "Shōgo, two sets of agreements are to be signed, one in Japanese and one in Chinese. Are there any problems?" Guo Yongren asked.
"No problem. There is precedent for this kind of thing. Agreements signed with foreign companies are signed in the native languages of both parties." Takahashi Shogo said directly. This is indeed true. Guo Yongren nodded.
"You inform them, the financial staff will arrive today, and we can formally sign the contract tomorrow. At the same time, we will train the construction company to start construction as soon as possible." Guo Yongren directly gave the final instructions.
"Hi" several people bowed together and then went out to do errands
At noon today, two financial personnel sent by Zhou Wenchao arrived. Guan Du also contacted a large law firm to be responsible for the legal contract matters related to the umbrella. Everything was ready.
In the afternoon, Takahashi Shogo came back and brought Guo Yongren an invitation with Motoyama Masao's name written on it. Guo Yongren was stunned. He didn't know this person. He looked at Takahashi Shogo, and Takahashi Shogo also had a look on his face.
He looked at Guo Yongren in surprise.
"Boss, Masao Motoyama is the mayor of Nagoya," Shogo Takahashi introduced. He thought Guo Yongren knew Masao Motoyama, but not emotionally.
Guo Yongren nodded and looked through it. It invited Guo Yongren to have dinner with him at a hotel called Wind Chime in Nagoya tonight. Guo Yongren began to think about the purpose of this person inviting him to dinner. After thinking for a long time, there was no result.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, let's wait until the soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, and we'll talk about it tonight. Only two hours later, a man who claimed to be Masao Motoyama's secretary came over.
"Mr. Guo, I'm very sorry. I just received a notice that Mayor Motoyama needs to leave for Tokyo immediately for a meeting. It is a sudden emergency meeting, so I am here to apologize to Mr. Guo. I am very sorry." After saying this, he bowed deeply and Guo Yongren took over.
I apologized and sent the secretary away, but I did keep the apology gift that the secretary brought.
Guo Yongren called Takahashi Shogo and asked Takahashi Shogo to open the box. Inside was a tea set and pottery, and Guo Yongren explained what had just happened.
"Boss, this thing must be true. Tea sets are very noble items. Sending noble tea sets is also an act of apology. It shows that Mayor Motoyama is really in a hurry, otherwise he would not do this."
Guo Yongren nodded.
"Shōgo, what is the political orientation of Mayor Motoyama?" Guo Yongren asked, and Takahashi Shōgo thought for a moment.
"Boss, Mayor Motoyama views history correctly. Now the whole of Japan is reflecting on the trauma caused by the war." Takahashi Shogo said seriously. Guo Yongren nodded and suppressed the matter.
The next day, Guo Yongren took Takahashi Shogo and people from the law firm to the Department of Commerce to sign the contract and paid the land purchase fee. The two pieces of land were officially owned by the umbrella company.
Then he rented a small building near the land in the suburbs. This is the temporary office area of the umbrella. After the factory is completed, it will be moved out and authorized to Takahashi Shogo to start the construction bidding. Guo Yongren does not worry about these things.
The law firm Guan Du contacted will be responsible for handling all legal procedures.
