Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 990 Could it be that Mr. Sam is also dead-headed?
Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang coming, deputy factory manager Tian immediately stood up, complaining in his voice: "Xiaoqiang, why did you come here, let's go, let's invite people from Packard Motor Company."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and waved his hands: "Uncle Tian, ​​I'll just do this. Don't be impatient, I'll go back."

Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang looked relaxed, deputy factory manager Tian didn't insist on going with him.

Not long after Niu Xiaoqiang went upstairs, he brought Sam and several blond foreigners into the restaurant.Deputy Factory Manager Tian and others immediately stood up to greet them.

Since Niu Xiaoqiang has a very high level of foreign language proficiency, and he is very familiar with the people of Packard Motor Company, the translator brought by Deputy Factory Manager Tian is useless. All the translation work is in charge of Niu Xiaoqiang. .

Under Niu Xiaoqiang's introduction, the two sides got to know each other, and then Fan Demin warmly greeted Sam and the others to sit down.

The food and wine have been prepared, and everyone is seated to eat and drink.

Fan Demin, as the leader of the Provincial Department of Light and Chemical Industry, firstly welcomed Sam and other foreigners to visit Aoshan on behalf of the government.Sam said cheers in accordance with the American drinking habit, but in the end he only took a sip.

Fan Demin really thought that Sam was going to drink, so he quickly drank his own wine in one gulp.When he finished drinking and wiped his mouth, he was taken aback when he saw that Sam had just tasted it.

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly explained: "Mr. Fan, Mr. Sam is not disrespecting you. He just said that cheers are just a polite way for Americans to drink. They don't really drink. The situation in the United States is different from that in China. Yes, please don't get me wrong."

Only then did Fan Demin understand, and waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, just make it clear, I'm not so narrow-minded."

Deputy Factory Director Tian joked: "It seems that there is still a big difference between Chinese and foreign cultures. If Xiaoqiang hadn't explained it, I would have thought that Mr. Sam hated our wine as bad."

Niu Xiaoqiang translated the words of deputy factory manager Tian to Sam, and Sam laughed after listening: "Americans usually drink whiskey and brandy, unlike your Chinese, who drink high-grade liquor. The taste of the two kinds of wine is very different. Big, I'm really not used to it."

Deputy Factory Manager Tian hurriedly waved his hands generously: "If you are not used to drinking, drink less. We will never mind. Mr. Sam must not be brave."

Sam smiled and said thank you, very kindly.

Seeing this, deputy factory manager Tian couldn't help thinking to himself: Didn't Xiaoqiang say that Mr. Sam has a weird temper?Why didn't I see it?
Everyone chatted while eating, and they talked about cooperation.Deputy Factory Manager Tian asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Sam, your company is here to inspect China this time. I don't know what the inspection results are? Are you satisfied with China's investment environment?"

Sam nodded slightly: "We are basically satisfied with the results of the inspection. We have already signed an agreement of intent with Asia Machinery Factory. After the two parties have completed the preparatory work, we can sign a formal contract."

Deputy Factory Manager Tian said with a smile: "Congratulations to both of you for reaching an agreement of intent, and I also thank Mr. Sam for his affirmation of China's investment environment. However, I think Mr. Sam can have a better choice."

Sam hummed: "I've heard from Niu Xiaoqiang about your intentions for coming here. Since it's for business, we are of course happy to see more powerful manufacturers come to negotiate. I wonder what kind of cooperation terms your factory can offer?"

Deputy Factory Manager Tian didn't expect Sam to talk about the specific details so directly. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and told his secretary: "Xiao Xu, take out the document and show it to Mr. Sam."

Secretary Xu nodded immediately, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Sam.The document was written in Chinese, and Sam couldn't understand it, so he passed the document to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Please translate it for me, please."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and acted as an interpreter in a proper manner.

In order to facilitate this cooperation, Nanfeng Motor Works is absolutely sincere.They promised that the joint venture factory will be exempted from all taxes within three years of operation, and that all the land for the construction of the factory will be settled by Nanfeng Automobile Factory. In addition, they can also bear all the expenses for the construction of the factory.Just these three items can save Packard Motors at least tens of millions of RMB.

The biggest part of this is the tax exemption policy. The tax rate for industrial products in China is a bit high, exceeding 15.00%, which means that at least 15.00% of the money earned by manufacturers needs to be used to pay taxes.

The output value of the automobile industry is already very high. As long as it forms a certain scale, it can earn hundreds of millions of yuan in gross profit every year. The three-year tax reduction is equivalent to saving tens of millions of yuan in expenses.

In addition to these three conditions, Nanfeng Automobile Factory also promised to build a power station for the joint venture factory to completely solve the problem of electricity consumption;
Provide high-end housing for dispatched employees of Packard Motor Company, and all living expenses are paid by Nanfeng Motor Factory;

Specially build cement roads and other basic supporting facilities for joint venture factories to solve transportation and travel problems;
Set up a complete spare parts supply system for the joint venture factory to solve the supply problem of spare parts;

If necessary, Nanfeng Automobile Factory can even directly seek financial support from the national ministries and commissions to ensure that the joint venture will not be put on hold due to lack of funds.

These conditions were not unreasonable, and Niu Xiaoqiang was a little moved.

Sam listened one by one, and when Niu Xiaoqiang finished translating, he pondered for a while and suddenly asked a question that Deputy Factory Director Tian was most worried about: "Mr. Tian, ​​I am very satisfied with the conditions you proposed, but you seem to have missed something , I don’t know why the division of equity was not mentioned among the conditions just now?”

Deputy Factory Manager Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He clearly remembered an incident that happened the year before last.At that time, Mr. William from the Bavarian Machinery Factory came to China to discuss cooperation matters. In the end, it was because the two parties failed to reach an agreement on the distribution of equity that the negotiation fell through.

The scale of the Bavarian Machinery Factory is astonishing. The BMW series cars they produce firmly occupy a place among the global luxury cars. They have been fighting against Mercedes for decades without falling behind. To be honest, Packard A car company can't even match the scale of a subsidiary company.

Deputy Factory Manager Tian originally thought that the conditions he offered were enough to impress Sam, and when the other party was happy, it would be smoother to discuss the distribution of equity.

Unexpectedly, Sam immediately grasped what he was most worried about, and looked very serious, which shook the confidence of Deputy Factory Manager Tian.

He thought to himself: Is it possible that Mr. Sam, like Mr. William, is also dead-headed on the issue of equity distribution?If this is the case, things will be difficult to handle.
