Volume 7 I've Been Here Chapter 0976 State-owned Enterprise Reform
"It's not a coincidence. The other party is a celebrity. He has lived in Beijing for many years and often flies."
"Tell me, what's it like meeting your pen pal?"
"I'll give you four words. It's better not to see you. The beauty of writing letters is all ruined." Nan Yi said, his eyes swept across the long table, and saw that the glass jar of wine that was supposed to be placed under the table appeared on the table, and half of the wine was gone. "Dad has been here?"
"Well, we had dinner here yesterday and he drank some of your wine. He said it was delicious. He wanted to take the whole can, but I told him that this was the only can left and asked him to take only half."
"Oh, looks like I'm going to have another brother-in-law."
"Don't talk nonsense. How old are my parents?" Liu Zhen spat and asked, "Do you want to drink something?"
"Bring a bottle of beer, let's share it."
Liu Zhen took some wine from the refrigerator. Nan Yi washed his hands and sat down at the dining table to show Liu Zhen how to open a bottle cap with his bare hands.
"If you have time on Saturday, we can go and clean up the house together."
"Have you handed over the house?"
Liu Zhen: "I just got the key yesterday."
"Your unit is very quick. It's good to have a unit and there are houses to be distributed. I'll find a unit for myself someday." Nan Yi said sourly on purpose.
Liu Zhen: "Stop talking nonsense. I'm asking you if you can go on Saturday."
"I don't know what Saturday is. God knows why old man Li wants to see me."
"Forget it, I'll find a part-time job and I won't count on you." Liu Zhen put some food into Nan Yi's bowl, "Do you know Heyi Farm?"
"I know, why?"
"Chongwai Street was demolished, and the relocated households were arranged there. Someone in my unit bought a one-bedroom apartment there, 39 square meters, for only 60,000 yuan."
"You mean Nanyuan Beili?"
Liu Zhen nodded, "Right there."
Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "I heard that a one-bedroom apartment there is sold for 80,000 yuan. Is there a reason?"
Liu Zhen: "What else could it be? I just got so angry after losing."
"It's not easy to take advantage of these 20,000 yuan. Have you completed the formalities?"
Liu Zhen: "Not yet. The handling fee is about 3,000 yuan. I'm a young man who has only been working for two years. I'm out of money and I'm trying to collect some."
"You have to have a good relationship with them, remind them to go through the formalities as soon as possible, buy two packs of cigarettes and get rid of the plague god as soon as possible. The houses there are not property rights (public housing), and they have to be sold. If you don't get rid of them early, it's hard to say what will happen next."
Liu Zhen: "We are not the same kind of people, I am just telling you this."
"Oh, you've been concerned about the news about the house recently?"
Liu Zhen: "I don't take the initiative to care. I just look at the news of selling a house in the newspaper. Hey, let me ask you, how many houses in our family have been demolished?"
"Five or six sets, I haven't paid attention to it for a long time. Do you want someone to send you a report?"
Liu Zhen: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to look. I plan to go to Nanxin Garden near Dongsanmen on Sunday. They dare to sell it at 4,800 per square meter. I want to see what's different about the houses there."
"It's quite relaxing . It's different after submitting the paper."
"Of course, eat quickly, I bought movie tickets for 8 o'clock."
"oh."
After dinner, Nan Yi accompanied Liu Zhen to the cinema to watch "True Lies", which he had watched countless times.
The next day, at nine o'clock, Nan Yi arrived at Peking University, spent some time on the campus, and waited until nine-twenty before going to Li Yizheng's office.
Nan Yi knocked on the office door, walked in, and called out to Li Yizheng respectfully, "Boss."
"Call me teacher." Li Yizheng frowned, with a smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. He picked up a piece of manuscript paper on the table and said, "Nan Yi, come and take a look at this."
Nan Yi walked up to Li Yizheng, took the manuscript, glanced at the paper, and saw three lines of words. Judging from the format, it should be a poem, "'Laid-off Workers', the hands that are used to taking orders, today there is hesitation flowing through the fingers, the pockets filled with wages, today are filled with emptiness..."
"Boss, this poem is incomplete, right?"
Li Yizheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about whether it's complete or not. Tell me, what do you see from this poem?"
"Boss, it's inappropriate for you to test me with this. I know where this poem came from and under what circumstances it appeared."
"Oh?" Li Yizheng asked in surprise, "Tell me why you know that."
"One of my classmates is working in Fengtian, and I also have business there."
Li Yizheng nodded, "That's perfect. I'll give you two days to arrange your work. Come with me to Fengtian the day after tomorrow. You have to be mentally prepared. We may have to stay for a while this time, maybe half a month at the shortest, or two or three months at the longest."
Hearing this, Nan Yi's face turned bitter in an instant, "Boss, I have a job. I put my work aside when I came back this time. I thought I could go back in a few days to catch up on the progress of my work. I really can't spare these two or three months."
Li Yizheng smiled faintly, "Nan Yi, don't forget that working doctoral students also have to record their attendance. If you don't go, I will record your absence."
"Boss, I didn't say I won't go, it's just that I have something urgent to do and I need to take a leave. I really can't afford to delay my work."
"Okay, I promise you, you don't have to panic, maybe I'll be back in half a month."
"I don't trust you."
Nan Yi complained in his heart and it was easy to figure out why Li Yizheng went to Fengtian.
As March began this year, there were articles about state-owned enterprise reform one after another in the newspapers. In recent days, the big bosses have personally gone down to inspect the reforms. How could Nan Yi not understand what the wind was blowing this year?
In addition to teaching at Peking University, Li Yizheng is also a consultant for various research institutes and laboratories, and a think tank that offers advice and suggestions for the national economy. This time when he goes to Fengtian, he should visit those companies that have stopped production or are semi-stopping production.
"Boss, do you want me to buy the ticket?"
"No, the tickets have been bought. Just come to the school on time at 1pm the day after tomorrow to gather."
"Okay, boss, you are busy, I will take my leave first."
"Don't be in a hurry. Sit down for a while. I'll introduce someone to you later." Li Yizheng pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned Nan Yi to sit down.
Upon hearing this, Nan Yi walked to his seat and sat down, took out a book from his bag, turned to the bookmark, pulled out the bookmark, and continued reading along the line where he stopped last time.
Li Yizheng glanced at the book in Nan Yi's hand, smiled comfortably, and continued to look down at the information in his hand.
About forty or fifty minutes later, someone knocked on Li Yizheng's office door again. When Li Yizheng said "Come in", the door was pushed open. A woman walked from outside to Li Yizheng's desk and shouted "Teacher".
"Lulu, this is your senior brother Nan Yi." Li Yizheng pointed at Nan Yi, then at Zhao Lulu, "This is Zhao Lulu, my new student , your junior sister."
Nan Yi's gaze stayed on Zhao Lulu's face for a while, then he quickly glanced down and analyzed quickly in his mind - she was above average in appearance, with a good figure and good temperament. She didn't look like she came from a powerful family. She might be the illegitimate daughter of a big shot, or she might be exceptionally outstanding or an academic genius.
It is not easy to become Li Yizheng's student. Moreover, Li Yizheng once said that Nan Yi would be the last student he would accept. Now Zhao Lulu has appeared, and she has been squeezed in during the non-enrollment season. It is intriguing.
"Hello, classmate Zhao." Nan Yi opened his mouth and said dryly without extending his right hand.
Zhao Lulu extended her right hand gracefully, "Hello, Senior Brother Nan Yi."
Nan Yi shook hands with the other party, and after a brief pause, he let go. "Is classmate Zhao going with you to Fengtian this time?"
Li Yizheng took over the conversation and said, "Lulu, come along too. You young people can have more exchanges. Okay, Nan Yi, you can go first if you have something to do."
"OK."
After leaving Li Yizheng’s office, Nan Yi lowered the possibility of being an “academic Daji”.
After walking along a "匚"-shaped tree-lined path, Nan Yi found Ren Xia's office, chatted for a while, and then visited two other offices.
After leaving Peking University, Nan Yi returned to the old villa and went to Han Zhenhe's room in the Great Wall Hotel with a stack of newspapers. The two discussed how to write the plan.
Nan Yi has two ways to withdraw $5 billion from Pan American Investment Holdings: one is to use the major shareholder's right of approval to force it through. However, there are two disadvantages to doing so. It will make shareholders dissatisfied, and they will have to bear the consequences of losing all investments.
The second is to follow the procedure, submit the investment plan to the board of directors, hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss whether the plan is feasible, and then vote. If half of the votes pass, it can be implemented.
"Zhen He, first read these newspapers and understand the state-owned enterprise reform policies of the Chinese government's top leaders. Then spend three months running around and make a preliminary screening and draw up a list of companies.
There are a few requirements:
First, the companies on the list must have investment value to ensure that our investment can be recovered and generate substantial profits.
Second, half of the companies on the list must be labor-intensive. This is my selfish desire. This is my motherland. In addition to ensuring our own interests, I want to benefit as many people as possible.
Third, in the areas north of the Yangtze River, sensitive industries, and areas with poor local investment environments, if any of the three conditions apply, we must design an exit mechanism in advance. When the business situation improves and our costs and expected profits are achieved, we will sell shares and exit.
Fourth, for any company that wants to hold shares for a long time, the first choice is a B2B company, preferably located in the Yangtze River Delta or the Pearl River Delta. "
Nan Yi paused and said, "Forget it. I'll make you a map later. All areas marked with red marks are not considered for long-term holding. Areas marked with black marks are not considered if the expected profit is not high. Areas marked with blue marks are listed as the first choice."
"clear."
“Fifth, for companies that want to hold shares for the long term, the optimal ratio of inward-looking companies to outward-looking companies is 50% VS 50%, taking into account both the current pattern of world economic integration and the ability to continue to make money under the deteriorating international relations.
In short, our plan must not only ensure the interests of ourselves and Pan American Investment's shareholders, but also bring certain help to China's economic development.
This summary is rotten in your stomach. "
Han Zhenhe bowed solemnly and said, "President, please rest assured that I will not disclose it to anyone."
Nan Yi smiled faintly, "No need to be so formal. If I don't trust you, you won't stay by my side. Zhenhe, you have been my secretary for several years. You don't spend much time with me. You have been the CEO for a longer time.
Inform the South Office that your successor should be decided. In two years, you will be the CEO of a group like Yamei."
"Yes, President."
Han Zhenhe's facial muscles trembled and he was a little excited.
Although he was a seventh-rank official in the prime minister's office and his position as Nan Yi's secretary in the Nan family was relatively high, it was still a role that was on call 24 hours a day. It was not as satisfying as being the president of a group who was like a local lord and got shares as soon as he took office.
…
"Mr. Fang, the insurance industry regulatory authorities in the mainland have a special threshold, '532', which stipulates that foreign insurance companies must have a registered capital of no less than US$5 billion, a full 30-year business history, and a representative office in China for two years before they can conduct life insurance business in mainland China.
With this threshold in place, it is impossible for us at Fang’s Insurance to enter the mainland directly. We can only meet the first condition.
If we want to enter the mainland by acquiring foreign insurance companies that have already entered the mainland, it is not very realistic. Foreign insurance companies that have already entered the mainland include Allianz, AXA, ING Group, MetLife and New York Life, and none of them can be shaken by our Fang family. "
Fang Mengyin stirred the spoon in her hand, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Ping An, after talking about the impossible, let's talk about the possible."
Xie Pingan nodded and said, "Director Fang, the only way for us to enter the mainland is to buy shares. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are shareholders of Orange Insurance in the mainland, each holding 5.56% of the shares. We can try to contact Orange Insurance."
"It may not be that easy. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs can bring not only funds to Orange Insurance, but also advanced management experience, personal life insurance system, etc. We can't provide anything other than funds."
"Mr. Fang, that's not necessarily the case. If Orange Insurance wants to go public in the future, and not in mainland China, we can play a role. In addition, we can also contact Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs and buy some of their shares at a premium."
"Okay, let's contact Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs first. If they are willing to sell some of their shares, we can ask them to play a supporting role. It will be easier to negotiate if we work on both fronts."
"Okay." Xie Pingan nodded, "I'll fly to the United States as soon as possible."
Nan Yi stared at the screen, looking at the distress email sent by a retail group - Deng Shaoshan of 365 Retail Company had been in contact with the milk company for a long time, and the offer price was getting higher and higher, but the other party had no intention of selling Dingkang Supermarket.
The milk company was difficult to deal with, so Deng Shaoshan turned to contact the second target, "Baijia Supermarket", and went one level at a time to the big boss behind it, Li Tongban. But similarly, he didn't want to hear any offer, as Li Tongban had no intention of selling Baijia Supermarket at all.
Deng Shaoshan rushed into Southeast Asia, Macau and Taiwan but couldn't make any progress in Hong Kong. He was anxious but had no idea what to do. He sent emails for help to Nan Yi at every level.
Nan Yi's eyes left the laptop screen and he tapped his fingers on the table. "Baijia Supermarket is not a suitable acquisition target. Li Tongban regards Xiangkeng as his base. He will definitely not let go of a supermarket that is related to people's livelihood unless he offers a sky-high price. Relatively speaking, the milk company is easier to deal with. Jardine Matheson...
How should we negotiate and what should we give in exchange?
Jardine Matheson’s businesses: real estate, car dealerships, retail, restaurants, engineering, heavy machinery business, hotels, finance, heavy machinery, heavy machinery…”
Nan Yi unconsciously quickened the pace of tapping on the table, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of an idea. It sounded simple: just bring in Scarlett Mining Group, give Jardine Matheson a long-term order, and then let Catherine come forward to mediate.
It would be best if we can negotiate. If we can't reach an agreement, then we can go on to play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and let 365 Retail be Liu Bei. We have to fight a war of attrition. There will be many more such tough battles in the future.
He tapped on the keyboard, replied to the email, switched windows, and continued to draft the plan.
