Chapter 339 Registration
The registration lasted for a day. Municipal government officials and senior executives of Dahua Industrial witnessed the ability of foreign businessmen to call on friends.
There are 100 pages of registration books, and 10 companies are registered on each page, but in the afternoon, it is not enough.
Mayor Tang looked at the sealed registration book and kept silently reciting: 1,000 foreign businessmen, 1,000 foreign businessmen...
There are probably not 1,000 surviving foreign investors in the entire province. Not to mention the new foreign investors, 100 is overestimated.
Now I have seen 1,000 foreign businessmen.
Mayor Tang felt like he had entered the treasure house and didn't know what to take.
The registration work was going very late, and the original hotel banquet was cancelled. No boss was willing to eat and drink when it comes to the future of the company. The government officials who accompanied him did not complain about hardships and tiredness, and they were obediently waiting in front of them. The mayor was still smiling, so how dare the people below have any objections?
Gradually, government officials who later heard about the news quietly came to Dahua Petrochemical. If there were 100 factories and the Haicang base with an area of 5,000 hectares was still abundant, if there were 400 factories, the 5,000 hectares of the second phase, it could barely accommodate it. Now there are 1,000 factories, and the other 5,000 hectares of land in Zhangzhou, they would not be able to put it down anyway.
In other words, at least 600 registered Taiwanese companies will not settle in the Haicang Petrochemical Base.
600 foreign-funded enterprises!
As long as you think of this number, which leader doesn’t let tons of saliva come out?
In the critical year of investment promotion, 600 Taiwanese companies are no longer enterprises. They are simply promotion roads paved with gold bricks.
If there is any county or city, it can get one-tenth of the enterprise, everyone in the county will be promoted and everyone in the county will be rewarded.
In the eyes of officials, these enterprises are like golden heads, and cutting down one is a great achievement! In normal times, these heads are on the trunks that are jumping around. If officials chase after them for a year or two, they may not be able to chase one or two. Now, the Haicang Petrochemical Base in Dahua is like a tied rope, tied up all the trunks that are jumping around. The golden heads are stretched out and waited for everyone to cut them down.
At this moment, if anyone doesn’t raise the knife, he will have periarthritis of the shoulder!
Those who are in charge have sciatica, those who are strict with their wives, and those who are prostatitis, but those who are not periarthritis of the shoulder...
As night falls, as more and more companies are on the registration book, more and more officials are taking out ghost-headed swords.
Under the ink-like moonlight, the officials with big belly were wearing suits, tie, and smiled on their faces towards foreign businessmen. On their broad backs, they held the butcher knife tightly with their hands.
If it was made into a movie, this would be a r-level bloody horror movie.
"Boss Liu!"
"Boss Wang!"
"Boss Li is here!"
"Boss Huang, long time no see!"
Of course, if you don’t listen to the sounds when you don’t look at the scene, Dahua’s conference room looks a bit like a Cowherd’s nightclub. If a gentleman who likes this is brought in with his eyes blindfolded, he will hear so many "calling friends" sounds. He will definitely smile knowingly and comment: I am not alone.
If he was taken out with his eyes blindfolded, he might be a little regretful, but it must be a wonderful memory. However, if he had his eyes off and saw a group of middle-aged men speaking in a coquettish voice to another group of middle-aged men, it would become a nightmare. When he met someone with a strong temperament, he would shout: My way has been decided. It is not impossible to sue others in the world.
Even in such a group of demons, the number of second registration book exceeded 200.
Outside the window, there was already a clear moon and a sparse star. Yang Ming raised his hand and looked at his watch, and whispered: "Dr. Su, it's 10 o'clock."
"Okay, let's end." Su Cheng looked at Mayor Tang while speaking.
Tang Anke said reluctantly: "I think there are still people calling, maybe there are more companies registered."
"We only have 100 companies, and all 1,200 companies are enough."
"It's better to register a little more." The director of the investment promotion office said, haha, seemingly calm but actually nervous. In their eyes, the company names and contact information on these registration books are a wealth of wealth. Many investment promotion departments have no way to contact foreign businesses, and with a registration book, all the problems have been solved.
These Taiwanese businessmen are undoubtedly the most promising Taiwanese businessmen to settle in the mainland. They are potential users of the investment promotion office, and it is good to be able to record a few more lists.
Tang Anke seemed to be a little moved, and moved his butt, and there was a tendency to persuade him.
Su Cheng interrupted his movements with a hearty laugh and said, "Then let's continue tomorrow. Anyway, it's a sign-in agency. Give them more time to contact them. Maybe tomorrow, there will be companies from Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States who are interested."
"Hahaha..." Several people laughed out loud, thinking that Su Cheng was telling a joke.
Then, they saw Su Cheng's expression turn serious. Only then did everyone know that he was telling the truth.
If it were someone else, everyone might think he was swearing.
For Su Cheng, everyone present had no such thoughts.
They don’t know how huge the Haicang base is and how difficult it is to obtain Haicang, but they also have some concepts.
So, someone said timidly: "Can you really get European, American and Southeast Asian companies?"
"Of course. This is underwriting." Su Cheng smiled and said, "Most business owners do not have enough ability to solve sales. They usually sell locally, or hand over the goods to distributors. The stability of underwriting can solve big problems for them. This is the same in any country."
"Where is Mr. Su planning to sell the goods?" Xie Weiwei finally asked. She had been holding it in for a day.
Without Su Cheng's words, Xiaopang immediately interrupted Xie Weiwei and said, "Where are you asking like this? If you know where to sell it, you will not rob our business in advance."
"What will I do with your business?"
"What do you do? No wonder you can only work in the Planning Commission. You really don't know what you should do." Xiaopang must have a fight with Qin Yun, and he couldn't be called sharp-tongued. He still had some training.
Xie Weiwei's face was red after being stabbed.
Mayor Tang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as it is underwriting, we don't care where we sell it. They are all light industrial products. Who can use it or not."
The others nodded repeatedly, remembering the joke of the Planning Commission.
At this time, a man in a wrinkled suit came to Sucheng.
He looked at the people around him with some fear, and then said to Huo Chang: "Are you the Chairman of Sucheng?"
Huo Chang was among the people present. He was the older one and didn’t look like an official. No wonder he would admit his mistake.
Huo Chang smiled and said, "I am Huo Chang, the vice president of Dahua Industrial. Is there anything you have to do with Director Su?"
"Oh, I'm from Zhenghua Plastic Factory, my name is Chi Hai. Our company is a big group, so I want to ask if the big group can bid for this underwriting." The man was a little shy, but his eyes were bold.
Without waiting for others to speak, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau looked furious and said, "You said you were joining in the fun. We are a promotion meeting to recruit foreign businesses. Not all manufacturers can participate. Not to mention the large group, there are so many state-owned enterprises in our province, who will come?"
Chi Hai was angrily scolded in person, but he insisted: "Although our Zheng Hua is a big group, we use a lot of materials every year. We used 6,000 tons of ethylene last year, and today we replaced the new equipment, and 10,000 tons is fine. We... our scale is larger than some joint ventures."
Factory that consumes 10,000 tons of ethylene is nothing in the future, but in 1991, it was indeed not small.
The director of the Investment Merchants Bureau also understood this, so he was afraid that Su Cheng would agree. He hurriedly said: "Do you make money back by ethylene? Did you not hear from Director Su that Haicang Petrochemical Base is 100% exported. In this petrochemical base, Taiwanese enterprises are given priority, and foreign enterprises in other countries are secondly added. Look at the registered list, there are more than 1,000 Taiwanese enterprises, and there are still many tomorrows. So, nothing is wrong with you."
Enterprises are all enterprises, and investment is all investment. However, domestic enterprises are rotten in the pot, while foreign enterprises have to invite them with preferential conditions. From the overall perspective, the duties performed by the Director of Investment and Merchants are beneficial to the country.
But for a single company, this is obviously unfair.
Soon someone spoke again and persuaded him: "Boss Chi, don't wait any longer. We're over here. If there is a remaining position, I'll notify you. What do you think."
Chi Hai's eyes were parading among a dozen people, as if he wanted to find Sucheng. Gradually, he changed from expectation to disappointment and sighed: "Our Zheng Hua's sales are actually quite good, and he earns hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange every year. That is... it is always difficult to handle bank loans. I heard that if companies entering the Haicang base can have loan discounts and loan guarantees, I will come. Alas..."
Without preferential policies, it is very difficult for domestic private enterprises to apply for loans. In the stories of collusion between officials and businessmen in the 1990s, business owners often play a negative role, pulling bank officials and government officials into the water through the beauty of dinner parties and the sugar-coated shells of money. If you don’t look at the process and the results, these business owners are actually just using illegal means to strive for an equal identity with state-owned enterprises.
In order to attract foreign investment, the Haicang base has a complete set of preferential policies, some of which are unique in China. For example, free bulk land, etc., are extremely rare.
The twisting of Taiwanese companies can be understood as a bargaining process, and also because China's investment environment in the 1990s was not good enough. Before the financial crisis in 1997, the four Asian dragons and four Asian tigers were both rivals of mainland China's industrial transfer. Taiwan and Singapore have a large number of petrochemical industries. Indonesia and Malaysia have obvious resource location advantages, and Thailand and the Philippines have abundant human resources...
Only China's own companies are still weak and are confined to the country and cannot find opportunities.
Su Cheng coughed gently at this time and said, "Since you are told that you will be notified if there is any remaining location. Then leave a contact information, and the situation of your company."
He signaled Yang Ming to bring out another notebook.
This book is no different from the book that records information from Taiwanese businessmen, except that there is a big bold "three" on it to show the difference.
