Chapter 70
"Xiaochen, eat more."
In a villa outside Bonn, Yan Leqin, Feng Hua, Feng Shuyi and others surrounded Feng Xiaochen and watched him sweeping the dishes on the table happily like wind and clouds. Yan Leqin kept picking up the good dishes into Feng Xiaochen's bowl, making Feng Wenru, who had always been regarded as a little sun at home, was a little jealous.
In addition to working hard, Feng Xiaochen asked Luo Xiangfei and Hu Zhijie to ask for leave to visit his grandmother's house. The two leaders agreed without even hitting a stumbling block. Feng Xiaochen is now a celebrity in the delegation, and he is very appreciated by everyone in terms of public or private.
From a public perspective, he is a very competent translator, which is fine. The key is that he invited Feng Shuyi to break the deadlock in the delegation's work and made great contributions. In terms of private affairs, he contributed 5,000 marks of foreign exchange to his fellow delegation's companions, solving everyone's urgent needs. Who can not say a few good words to him?
With such a preparation, there will naturally be no obstacles for Feng Xiaochen to take leave. Hu Zhijie just patted his shoulder while allowing him to leave and explained some discipline precautions with a smile. The subtext inside and outside the words is all about saying that it is okay to go to a German home as a guest, as long as you don’t cause trouble.
Feng Shuyi drove Feng Xiaochen to their villa in the suburbs. He thought that the exquisite decoration of the villa and a room of high-end electrical appliances would surprise Feng Xiaochen. Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaochen only praised all this out of politeness, but there was no look of surprise or envy on his face, which made Feng Shuyi's evaluation of this nephew improve a little.
Yan Leqin worked hard to prepare a full table of Chinese cuisine to welcome her grandson who was coming from afar. Her skills were really good. In addition, Feng Xiaochen had not eaten a serious Chinese meal for so long. When he saw these dishes, his index finger was naturally moved. After a few words of politeness, he started to eat voraciously.
Feng Hua was also quite happy to see his nephew's unrestrained appearance at his home. He had always been worried that his German identity would make his relatives in China feel alienated. From Feng Xiaochen, Feng Hua felt an inseparable family affection.
"How come you are so edible? I've never seen anyone eat so much!"
Feng Wenru lay beside Feng Xiaochen, watching his cheeks keep urging, which felt quite fun. She was an only child, without brothers and sisters, and everything about this brother who came from afar was fresh.
Feng Xiaochen made a face at Feng Wenru, then smiled and said to several adults: "I finally had Chinese food again. I have eaten enough German food these days."
"What, isn't German rice delicious?" Feng Shuyi asked pretending to be displeased.
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid of you being angry when you say it. When it comes to industrial technology, I admire Germany very much. But if you want to talk about food, Germany is far from it. Auntie will find time to go back to China with grandma and uncle. I can guarantee that you won't eat a different kind of food within a month."
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to that day." Feng Shuyi responded.
"What about me? Can I go?" Feng Wenru also came up and asked seriously.
"Of course!" Feng Xiaochen also pretended to be serious and said, "You are also Chinese. Going to China is just going home. How can you not be able to do it? When you go, I will take you to various fun places and eat Chinese meals you have never heard of."
Feng Wenru laughed, and she held Feng Shuyi's hand and asked, "Mom, then when will we go to China?"
Feng Shuyi patted her head and said, "Low, when your brother returns to China and arranges the matter there, we will go back to visit relatives."
Everyone finished the meal with a joke. Feng Xiaochen felt a little embarrassed when he touched his bulging belly. He said to Yan Leqin: "Grandma, I'm making a joke. Am I really eating too much?"
Yan Leqin stared at her and said, "What are you talking about? At his uncle's house, eat as much as you want. What's the problem of eating more or less?"
Feng Shuyi took away the tableware and poured coffee for everyone. Everyone sat on the sofa in the living room and began to talk about the main things.
Feng Hua first introduced the sales of technology and said: "Shu Yi has already submitted a patent application for your technologies. I contacted several companies, who are interested in these technologies and are willing to pay for them. The initial price is about 1.6 million to 1.8 million marks. The specific price will be determined after they make a more formal evaluation."
Feng Shuyi interrupted: "This is the best price we can win. Of course, if you are willing to wait for a little longer, you may be able to sell for a better price."
Feng Xiaochen shook his head firmly and said, "No need, 1.6 million marks is enough for me to do things, and time is more precious to me."
This decision was agreed upon in advance, and Feng Hua did not comment. Instead, he continued his previous introduction and said: "I have registered an investment holding company with your name and your aunt. Your aunt is the legal representative and you are the major shareholder, accounting for 90% of the equity. Then, we will use this holding company to acquire a machinery company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, and from this machinery company to invest and build a factory in China. You can use this factory to do what you want to do."
"Outsiders cannot detect this way of operation, right?" Feng Xiaochen asked worriedly. He didn't know much about financial and legal matters, so he could only turn to Feng Hua and Feng Shuyi.
Feng Xiaochen wanted to open his own company, but the current domestic policies still have many restrictions on private enterprises, especially when the scale of the company reaches a certain level, all kinds of troubles will emerge one after another. The most convenient way is to use the current policy of vigorously promoting the introduction of foreign capital to turn his own company into a joint venture. In this way, governments at all levels at home will not only dare not cause trouble, but will also provide various conveniences.
At the beginning of the reform and even until the 1990s, the three-invested enterprises enjoyed super-national treatment in China, with various tax reductions and exemptions, and local officials would give various care. After entering the new century, countless "knowledgeable people" criticized this, believing that this super-national treatment was contrary to the spirit of equality, and some even angrily criticized it as an act that undermined dignity, thinking that the previous generation was servile, etc.
In fact, this can only be said that time has passed, and the full man did not know that the hungry man was hungry. In the early 1980s, China had severely lacked construction funds and advanced technology, so it could only seek help from the international market. Due to the influence of the Cold War, the Western world had some doubts about investing in China and transferring technology to China. In this case, what else can you do not let go of your posture to cater to the other party?
Without the grievances and angers of back then, there would be no arrogance and domineeringness today. It is actually not difficult to figure out this principle.
Feng Xiaochen is familiar with this history. Those who become great don’t have to be careful of the details. In order to do a big career, what’s the point of taking advantage of loopholes now? Moreover, his exploitation of this loophole does not harm the interests of the country. On the contrary, it is very beneficial to national construction.
Although he knew that he had a clear conscience in what he did, Feng Xiaochen still had to carefully evaluate the risks. He used the money he sold his patents to invest, and there were many links that could not be said publicly. First, the sale of patents was not suitable for disclosure, and domestic policies on this aspect were very ambiguous, especially when he was a secondment worker in state organs. Second, the ownership of these investment funds belonged to him, which could not be said to outsiders. He could only say that it was the investment brought by his uncle and aunt. Otherwise, a capitalist hat would be placed on his head, which would be extremely troublesome.
According to Feng Xiaochen's original idea, he handed over all the patent money to Feng Hua, and then registered an investment company in Feng Hua's name, returned to China to build a factory, and Feng Xiaochen himself was just the boss behind the scenes. Feng Hua firmly demanded that the property rights relationship be clearer, even if he took a few more turns for this.
After all, it is the first time that the two parties meet. The property rights are clear and there will be fewer slight slight in the future. If the right to blame is based on kinship, it doesn’t matter when the interests are small. If the company can grow bigger, reaching tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, it is not uncommon for relatives to reverse the situation.
Of course, Feng Xiaochen was willing to accept Feng Hua's idea. After all, he was also a person who had experienced a market economy. Not to mention the rebellion between uncles and nephews, the couple's rebellion for property has also been heard a lot in later generations. He did not dare to mention this before, but was just worried that Feng Hua and Yan Leqin and the others felt that they were a bit awkward. Feng Hua took the initiative to propose this, and Feng Xiaochen had nothing to say.
The only thing he was worried about was whether such an operation would have flaws. If it was noticed by the "relevant departments" in China, it would inevitably lead to trouble.
Hearing Feng Xiaochen's question, Feng Hua said: "In our old Chinese saying, there is no airtight wall in the world. If you have to investigate the relationship between these companies carefully, you can always investigate it clearly. However, I don't think anyone is interested in investigating such a small company, right? If you really get into a lawsuit in China because of this, then you can come to Germany."
Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "As long as it is not airtight for the time being, don't worry, China's policies will be relaxed step by step. Now some scholars have proposed to encourage everyone to do business and develop a variety of economic ownership. It is said that this appeal has also been recognized by the top leaders, but the policy will be introduced a little later. I believe that it doesn't matter if it hides it in the past few years."
"If this is the case, then there will be no problem." Feng Hua said.
"The next step is to purchase some equipment. In addition, I need to find a few German managers and technical workers to go to China to guide my production. At present, there is a shortage of talents in this area in China." Feng Xiaochen said.
