Chapter 338 Loans
Zhou Shuo was not a young boy after all, and his mind became hot without being aroused by Mr. Hu's words. He barely calmed down and said with a wry smile: "Minister Hu's request is to let Fanhan Group break itself from the international telecom equipment market..."
Who are the people participating in China-China and foreign projects? Here are Japanese NNT, Korean Telecom, Canadian Bell, French Telecom, and even AT&T.
Fanhan Group cut off their hand to the Chinese telecom market, how can we not be resented? Having offended so many telecom operators, will Zhou Shuo have great hope in the future develop the network communication equipment market?
But in terms of the domestic environment, it is a general trend for China Telecom and China Unicom to monopolize the communication network market. If Zhou Shuo does not agree to the request of Mr. Hu, would he still want to continue to do it? This is the minister of the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the competent department of the superior department. Is it really a tiger who doesn’t show his power to be Hello Kitty? Can people who are being missed by China Unicom still survive in China? How big does it take to do it?
To put it bluntly, this is actually a beautiful move to move flowers and trees. Unicom has a great future prospect, but the current situation is that it is hard to cook without rice. Hua Hong is not the case. As long as the projects worth tens of billions of yuan and billions of dollars are transferred to Unicom after Zhou Shuo's transfer, the whole game will immediately come alive.
As long as the shares are not ultimately fallen into the hands of foreign capital, what is the difference between the money being a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise? Can Fanhan Group still think about whether it is possible to hold China Unicom? Foreign capital is difficult to talk about, but domestic capital still needs to give the leaders some face.
It can be said that Zhou Shuo obtained the lithography machine technology, which made the Ministry of Electronics Industry an opportunity to turn its left hand and right hand. China Unicom will eventually be listed in Hong Kong in the future. Even if Zhou Shuo invests 3 billion yuan, this is already the profit limit of the Huahong project, and it will eventually be diluted by the huge international capital market. If he wants to rely on his current strength to influence companies like China Unicom, he still has no chance of being caught.
This is not that Zhou Shuo is reluctant to let go of the money and does not want to help China Unicom develop. It is because the water is too deep and there are too many pitfalls. There are four ministerial-level units involved. Whether it is the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, or even the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Electricity, he is not able to face it. Moreover, there are many shadows that have not surfaced here. Zhou Shuo's emotional intelligence, politics and business are just at the level of ordinary people. How dare he swim in that kind of pool?
He is not afraid of making contributions to the country, but he is afraid that he will eventually become Yue Fei. He has always tried his best to avoid such things as politics.
Zhou Shuo thought about it and said hesitantly: "It is no problem to invest the income of the Huahong project on China Unicom. But I think it is still not appropriate to let me invest in China Unicom."
Mr. Hu was very surprised that people in this era rarely had a nervous nerve like Zhou Shuo. The mainstream in the 1990s was not to liquidate the original sin of capital. The Hurun Rich List was equivalent to a prison notice. It has not yet arrived. Making money by policies and doing white gloves is a means for many people to start their own business. In society, whether a person has the ability is also based on his social relations.
For example, if you use the profits of the Huahong project to invest in China Unicom, Mr. Hu believes that it is hard to get someone else to seek. First, China Unicom's future prospects are obvious, and it is definitely a good investment project. Second, the ability to become a director of China Unicom has extremely huge social resources. Not only is it a talisman on its body, but it is also a powerful tool that is rampant in the domestic business world.
How could anyone shirk such a good thing?
Mr. Hu looked at Zhou Shuo in confusion, pondered and asked, "I believe you must have your own reasons. I wonder if Fang is not convenient to tell me?"
Zhou Shuo smiled and nodded, "There is nothing that cannot be said. It is mainly because it is likely that you will directly engage in evil with foreign telecom operators. Fanhan Group is not afraid of jokes and is still ambitions in the field of network equipment. We not only want to make a name in China, but also want to occupy a position in the world. If Fanhan Group also works as a telecom operator, it may not be easy to sell network equipment."
Zhou Shuo also said half of it and hid half of it. He couldn't say that he didn't want to mix politics, but trusted him as a white glove. Just think about this kind of thing in his heart. The leader said that he should not be burdened and said freely. It would be too terrible if he took it seriously.
Mr. Hu had never thought about this problem, and was a little stunned and nodded subconsciously.
This reason was at least reasonable in the 1990s. Fanhan Group's network equipment was sold in a Zlink shell in the United States. In contrast, in the domestic communications industry, there were still queues for installing several thousand installers. There were many people who could not install phones in two or three years. By 1996, the average domestic installed capacity was only 0.00 per percentage point.
Before the Chinese economy exploded, no one would have thought that this would be the largest telecom market in the world. The Panhan Group is unwilling to give up the international market for the sake of the domestic market, which is logically fine. But this is just a logical possibility. How could a person like Mr. Hu not hear Zhou Shuo’s insincere words?
"As a private enterprise, it is normal for Fanhan Group to have concerns about cooperation with the government." Mr. Hu did not follow Zhou Shuo's route at all. He pointed at him with his finger and sighed: "The country's reputation has become worse and worse in recent years, so it's not your fault for being worried. Of course, the Ministry of Electronics Industry cannot represent China Unicom's position after all, but I think I still have some influence on China Unicom's senior management."
Mr. Hu seemed obviously disappointed with Zhou Shuo's unpositive attitude, and shook his head and said, "If Fanhan Group can accept this task, I can make the decision to let you participate in China Unicom's Internet business."
A piece of white sweat immediately appeared on Zhou Shuo's forehead, and Mr. Hu said something a little heavy. China Unicom's senior management not only had some influence on him, but in fact, China Unicom's first chairman Wang Jianzhou was pushed up by Mr. Hu. It was already very aggrieved to say such words as him.
If Zhou Shuo is hesitant and refuses to agree at this time, this is the naked slap of "chiluo" in the face. The reason why he is unwilling to have too much contact with the top political leaders is also here. These big guys are often willing to impose their ideas on you, and they still think it is for your own good. If they don't agree, they will not be able to be rude, but if they agree, they still don't know how many troubles there will be later.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and looked at Mr. Hu and said, "We Fanhan Group appreciate the kindness of Minister Hu. But when it comes to the issue of equity participation, I can only regret that Fanhan Group is not suitable to participate in China Unicom's operations."
"You!" Mr. Hu snorted with a grudge and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, since that's the case, then forget it. You think I haven't said this."
Mr. Hu has not been rejected by a young man like Zhou Shuo for a long time. A young man who has just walked out of campus for two or three years often becomes weak when he sees him. Isn’t he what he says? He even can’t even say it, and only nods foolishly. Only Zhou Shuo is in front of him. Although he maintains a respectful attitude on his face, he is very idea inside.
Zhou Shuo waved his hand quickly and comforted Mr. Hu and said, "Minister Hu, don't worry. My statement that I don't participate in China Unicom's operations does not mean that I can't help it. I can't invest all the profits on China Unicom."
"Oh? Then how do you want to help? Could you still not only give money to shares?" As he said that, Mr. Hu laughed at this unrestrained idea: "Hmph, even if you really want to do this, we dare not ask for this money. Many eyes across the country are staring at the country. If you take your family's money today, everyone will be in danger tomorrow."
Seeing Mr. Hu laughing, Zhou Shuo felt much more relaxed and shook his head and said, "In fact, in addition to selling shares in financing, there is another way. Fanhan Group can use the profits of the Huahong project as a loan to China Unicom."
"Loan?" Mr. Hu stared at Zhou Shuo with wide eyes and asked incrediblely: "Are you talking about a private enterprise of Fanhan Group that wants to provide loans to China Unicom? This is not a mess!"
That's right? In the 1990s, banks have always loaned state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises have fled themselves. China Unicom has only been established for more than a year, and it has to be qualified but not qualified and has to be performance-free. Even the fixed assets that can be mortgaged are pitifully few. Moreover, the domestic banking industry is suffering from the financial tightening, and loans have always been stingy. China Unicom wants to go to the door, but I don't know how many times it has rolled its eyes.
It is like this, China Unicom, which does not even dare to borrow from the four major banks, but a private company of Panhan Group has to lend 3 billion yuan? You should know that at this time, China Unicom's own capital is no more than 1.5 billion yuan, and it will borrow twice the capital at a time, and its debt ratio soars by 200%. Even if you are not afraid of China Unicom going bankrupt, aren't you afraid of China Unicom relying on the debt and not paying it back? God knows when China Unicom can earn these 3 billion yuan. This is not that ordinary people do business at their own business. If they borrow 30,000 yuan, they will quickly repay their foreign debts when they start a business.
Even if a company like China Unicom develops to a market value of 30 billion, it will be a big deal to spend 3 billion at a time to repay the debt. Their funds are always the first priority to expand themselves, not repay the loan. As long as Zhou Shuo dares to throw this money out, it will not be possible for China Unicom to take the initiative to return it without a ten or eight years.
