When actually negotiating with the Japanese side, in addition to Cao Zhiqiang, the Chinese negotiators also included Director Wang from the municipal government, Director Li from the Metallurgical Department, Director Li from the Hongguang Factory, Secretary Dong and Chen Jiabang, a total of six people.
Among them, Cao Zhiqiang is the youngest and has the lowest status, but during the negotiation process, he was mainly dealing with Japanese personnel.
The main reason is that Cao Zhiqiang understands Japanese and this project was brought in by Cao Zhiqiang himself. Of course, he was required to lead the charge.
Sure enough, at the beginning, when Cao Zhiqiang proposed that Japan would invest in the transportation company and construction company affiliated to the Hongguang Factory and provide corresponding transportation vehicles and machinery and equipment, the Japanese side did not reject it outright, but did not agree either. It's a serious matter and we need to go back and discuss it.
Generally speaking, this kind of refusal or refusal is actually a polite refusal.
However, what Cao Zhiqiang did was just for show, for his own people to see.
In fact, as long as he returns to Japan, privately gives orders to Dadong Investment Company through his offshore company, and transfers another special fund, he can restart the two new investment projects.
Anyway, all this money is given by the state. If Cao Zhiqiang does this, it can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people.
At present, the country is in urgent need of foreign exchange. I believe that as long as Dadong Company is willing to invest real U.S. dollar foreign exchange, the two joint venture projects will definitely pass.
Just kidding, that is a business involving tens of millions of dollars. Even if the people at the Red Light Factory are not happy, the relevant personnel will force the Red Light Factory to agree.
After walking through the scene and talking about the new investment projects that need to be discussed, the next step is the main event, which is the joint venture project of the tape factory.
It is meaningless for Japan to change the shares held by China, as long as it does not increase the overall number of shares and does not infringe on their interests.
As for the name of the new company, the Japanese side did not insist on it, but they all thought that the name "Chaoyang Electronics Company" was quite good.
It's impossible to use "Taiyo Yuden" anyway, so it doesn't matter what company it is.
The real game is the issue of management rights.
As a technical supporter, Taiyo Yuden can give up the key position of general manager because it is foreign-owned and does not have an advantage in shares, but it is required to send someone to supervise the management of the new company, which means it must have supervisory rights.
Dadong Investment Company also means the same thing.
To put it simply, the Japanese side can give up the positions of chairman and general manager, but requires the new company to establish a board of supervisors. The chairman of the supervisory board must be appointed by the Japanese side, and the number of supervisors appointed by the Japanese side must not be less than the total number of supervisors on the board of supervisors. half of.
At the same time, the rights of the supervisory board must also be stated in writing to ensure clear responsibilities and powers.
In addition, the internal management of the new company must introduce the Japanese management system, so the general manager does not have to compete, but at least half of the middle-level cadres who implement the actual implementation, such as deputy general managers, must be managers sent from Japan.
Considering that Daito Investment Company is just an investor and lacks industrial managers, and the technology, equipment and even spare parts are provided by Taiyo Yuden, the managers are actually people sent by Taiyo Yuden.
The most important thing is that China must bear all the wages and benefits of those sent by Taiyo Yuden.
The Chinese delegation certainly disagrees with this. After all, the salary requirements for Japanese managers are too high.
Finally, after multi-party negotiations, both parties took a step back, and a board of supervisors could be established. The chairman of the board of supervisors could also be appointed by someone from Japan, and half of the members of the board of supervisors could be Japanese.
However, the chairman of the board of supervisors must be from Dadong Investment Company and cannot be from Taiyang Yuden to prevent one company from becoming dominant.
As for the company's management system, the Japanese side can be introduced, that is, Taiyo Yuden's management model. Even Taiyo Yuden can send some managers to the new company to be at the middle level.
However, unless the people sent by Japan terminate their formal labor contracts with Taiyo Yuden and no longer belong to Taiyo Yuden's regular employees, both parties will have to pay half of their wages.
Obviously, the staff sent by Taiyo Yuden, at least for now, are definitely not willing to terminate the contract with Taiyo Yuden. After all, it is too unsafe, but they are indeed here to help establish a new management system. For the Chinese side It is indeed useful, so it is reasonable to pay half the salary to each of these Japanese managers.
Next, is the most important selection of chairman and general manager.
After many negotiations, Li Siming, the former director of Hongguang Factory, finally became the chairman of Chaoyang Company, and Chen Jiabang, the former vice president of Hongguang Publishing House, became the general manager of Chaoyang Company.
The two important positions are all Chinese candidates, and they are both old people from Hongguang Factory, which is considered acceptable.
After all, the land, factory buildings, workers, etc. were all produced by Hongguang Machinery Factory. This project was brought in by Cao Zhiqiang of Hongguang Factory, so it is natural that the chairman and general manager should be people from Hongguang Factory.
As for the reason why Cao Zhiqiang, the biggest contributor, does not hold any specific position, it is simple to say.
That is because Cao Zhiqiang is too busy and has other important tasks to deal with, and is not familiar with the management of electronics factories, so he only serves as a shareholder of the company, without any specific position, and does not care about the specific operations of the company.
In other words, it’s not that others don’t give it, it’s Cao Zhiqiang himself who doesn’t want it.
Originally, everyone was happy with the negotiation at this point.
But what people didn't expect was that when everyone nominated members of the supervisory board, Dadong Investment Company actually nominated a Chinese as the chief supervisor.
And this Chinese person is none other than Hao Shuwen, a female singer who is currently famous in China!
When they first heard the name, Director Wang and Director Li were confused, but after they inquired about Hao Shuwen's personal situation, they immediately understood.
Yes, Hao Shuwen's status is extraordinary. Just having a father who is a general is enough to be tough.
Therefore, Director Wang and Director Li compared their hearts and subconsciously believed that Dadong Investment Company wanted to show favor to Hao Shuwen, and then used Hao Shuwen as an entry point to let her be the spokesperson of Dadong Investment Company in China.
Well, to put it in a bad light, it means supporting local agents.
If you think about it on the bright side, Dadong Company will do as the locals do and strive to be on the safe side.
Also, Dadong Investment Company is still a Japanese-funded company, and it is a pure venture capital company.
For a company like this, investing in China must be to maximize profits and minimize risks.
In this case, it is reasonable to find someone who has a certain degree of influence in the country and a strong backing as a spokesperson.
Since Hao Shuwen used her real name and released a record called "Above the Moon" in China some time ago, it immediately became popular all over the country.
Nowadays, when young people go out to chat with someone, if they can't hum "I'm looking up, above the moon", you will be embarrassed to say hello to them.
Although Hao Shuwen's current domestic record sales are still not as good as the singer "Ah Qiang"'s "Blooming Life", the sales volume is actually also terrifying, having exceeded one million copies, and the momentum is still fierce.
Hao Shuwen also relied on this momentum to frequently perform various commercial performances, and even appeared on an interview program on China Central Radio to talk about her personal situation.
Of course, this kind of talk show is limited by the factors of the times. Hao Shuwen did not talk about the specific family background. She just talked about how hard her life was in the past and how she never gave up on her dreams. Anyway, it was all inspirational chicken soup.
In addition to giving some general information about myself, I will also talk about some interpretations of the songs.
For example, the title song "Above the Moon" has been interpreted as saying that no matter where you are, no matter in adversity or good times, never give up your dreams and beliefs, and never give up the pursuit of a better life.
Other popular songs such as "Legend" and "Kekexili" also gave a lot of interpretation.
In other words, the so-called interview with Hao Shuwen was turned into a song interpretation speech.
Although the interview was difficult to explain in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, overall it was still very successful.
At least the name Hao Shuwen is now resounding across the country, and its influence is growing day by day.
From this perspective, there is no problem in theory for a young pop singer to be the chief supervisor of a joint venture.
After all, there is no discrimination against artists in China. On the contrary, these are all young artists and young singers, and they have to bear the name "jia".
Of course, just like this, it is still very abrupt, but if you take Hao Shuwen's personal background into consideration, it seems to make sense.
In short, Hao Shuwen was nominated by Japan's largest shareholder as the chief supervisor of "Chaoyang Electronics Company". Although it was unexpected, it made sense.
However, no one knew that this appointment was actually Cao Zhiqiang's internal operation and had nothing to do with Hao Shuwen's family.
"Zhiqiang, why do you want me to be the chief supervisor of that electronics factory?"
Facing Hao Shuwen's question, Cao Zhiqiang, who was reading the newspaper, just smiled: "Why, aren't you happy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy." Hao Shuwen, who had just finished taking a shower and was wiping her hair with a towel, said, "I'm just curious. I'm a good singer. Why did you suddenly ask me to work as a supervisor in some electronics factory?"
"What supervisor? That's called the chief supervisor." Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips and said, "It's a very serious profession, and its functions are no less important than the chairman of the board and the general manager."
"It's the same thing anyway!" After wiping her hair, Hao Shuwen simply came behind Cao Zhiqiang, put her hands around his neck and said, "Tell me, if you ask me to be the supervisor, do you mean you don't trust others and want me to be your boss?" Eyeliner?"
"You are overthinking this." Cao Zhiqiang put down the newspaper and said, "The chairman and factory director of the new company are both from Hongguang Factory, and I am also from Hongguang Factory, so they are all family members."
Hao Shuwen frowned, then simply came to Cao Zhiqiang, sat down in his arms, continued to put her arms around his neck and said: "Then tell me, why do you want me to be the chief supervisor of that Laoshizi?" ? What kind of peace of mind do you have?"
Cao Zhiqiang sighed, put his arms around Hao Shuwen's waist and said, "Why else, of course it's for your own good."
"For my own good?" Hao Shuwen blinked, "Where do you start talking about this?"
Cao Zhiqiang said: "My sister Hao, you are not so stupid, are you? Although you are a singer now, you are still an officially signed singer. You seem to have a serious job and are very popular. You are also called a young singer. You can Talk about fame and fortune.
However, you are not a small family, so you don’t really think that being a singer will last you a lifetime, and how noble your status is?
Yes, in our country, being a singer is very popular, famous and rich, which is enviable, but that is only for ordinary people.
But for those real high-level people, singers are still out of sight.
To put it bluntly, at least so far, whether it is an actor or a singer, regardless of the artist's name, in fact, overall it is still not up to standard.
Therefore, I want to give you a new stage, a stage where you can truly gain power.
You are too young and have a special status. Even if you get into a large state-owned enterprise, it will not be easy for you.
This kind of joint venture is different.
You join this kind of joint venture as the chief supervisor. You have a high position but are free. You don't have to be responsible for specific things. You only need to supervise and criticize the leaders. It is similar to the ancient censor, and it is a very noble position.
And if you have such work experience, it is a dazzling resume in itself, and you will be considered a high-end person wherever you go.
Normally, in a large state-owned enterprise, you cannot get a position similar to that of a censor. After all, you are too young, and even your own background is an obstacle.
But Chaoyang Electronics Company is a Sino-Japanese joint venture, and the Japanese capital holds more shares and has more say.
Therefore, in such a company, you can be promoted beyond the level and become the chief supervisor, a good position with high power and few tasks.
The chairman of the board of supervisors is not an ordinary position. In theory, he is on the same level as the chairman. In reality, he is only half a level lower than the chairman. He can supervise everyone except the chairman. It is a truly high-power position.
As long as you do a good job, as the company develops and grows, your status will also rise.
At that time, you will no longer be a simple singer, but a truly outstanding female entrepreneur. How can that status be compared to that of a pop singer? "
"That's true." Hao Shuwen nodded, "But I still have to listen to you, right?"
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang exerted a little force with his hands, "Why, don't you listen to me? When have I ever made you suffer?"
Hao Shuwen rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang: "De Xing! I belong to you. If you don't let me suffer, don't you mean that you don't let yourself suffer?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head, not arguing with her on this issue.
After experiencing the training of female boxing in later generations, Cao Zhiqiang knows that if he is more serious about this with women, he will not be happy.
"But Zhiqiang!" Hao Shuwen pressed her hands hard and leaned her head on Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder. "How did you get the Japanese people to nominate me as the chief supervisor? This is completely unreasonable. I don't even know them."
"You don't know me and I know you." Cao Zhiqiang hugged Hao Shuwen and said, "Don't forget, I was actually the one who brought this project over, and I have long been in contact with the Japanese side.
To be more precise, the people from Dadong Company are willing to invest here because of my face and because they believe in my promise.
Otherwise, why do you think people are investing money in our Hongguang factory and also involving another Japanese company?
Isn't it because the Japanese are interested in my background energy, especially my ability to make money in Japan, and they believe in my commitment? "
"That's right!" Hao Shuwen nodded, "Speaking of this, your Japanese stage name Morinaka Aoizumi is very popular now. It seems that everyone here has heard of Morinaka Aoizumi, and you even sang it in the south. Japanese song tape.”
"Really?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "It came here so quickly?"
"That's not true." Hao Shuwen said, "Don't underestimate those who travel by water."
"That's true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Those gangsters do have extraordinary energy."
Hao Shuwen said: "Okay, let's not talk about that. Since you asked me to do it, then I will do it! But the problem is, I know nothing about supervisors, you have to help me!"
Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Don't worry, it's not that difficult to be the chairman of the board of supervisors, and it's not about doing specific things. Later I will explain some key points to you in detail, and then assign you a reliable female secretary. For ordinary little things, you can do it yourself It can be solved.
If you really can't make up your mind, don't you still have me? Just look for me. "
"That's right!" Hao Shuwen nodded.
Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen suddenly raised her head, looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said: "Okay, let's not say these disappointing words!
It's rare for you to come to me. Please hand over the public rations first! "
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned: "Didn't I hand it over just now?"
"Tch!" Hao Shuwen curled her lips, "That's just a little more, it's not even enough to fit between your teeth! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
After saying this, Hao Shuwen rushed towards Cao Zhiqiang without waiting for him to react.
"Wait, please, please bean sack!"
