Generally speaking, there are still some gains. Representatives of two large companies expressed their interest in cooperating with my company, and both sides exchanged contact information and some information about the other company. And specifically discussed some project cooperation and so on. There are also one or two companies, although they did not immediately express the intention of cooperation, but also showed some interest. It is estimated that as long as we keep in touch in the future, we can always open up the situation.
After the exhibition, I arranged for the purchasing department of Henkel company and FS company to meet sun Yanran and them respectively. With a few orders and a letter of intent for cooperation, sun Yanran and her party concluded their trip to Europe.
Of course, this matter is not perfect. At least Ms. Smith from the public relations department complained a little later when she paid for it.
"The cooperation between this Chinese company and our company has not brought us any profit so far, but we have spent more than 160000 euros on them, sir."
I didn''t pay attention to this nagging German woman and let her go straight out.
I thought for a moment, then I picked up the phone and called Regan.
"Mr. Regan, I have an idea. I need your help Well, that''s right. Can you help me calculate how much budget we need if we set up a branch or a liaison office in China? Huh Ha ha, location? I think it''s set up in Shanghai, or Ha ha, Jingbian... "
I laugh so treacherously.
Regan said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Chen, since we don''t have a lot of business in China, it''s unnecessary to set up a branch in China now Well... " After thinking about it, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "you, you are not" faking the public for your company, are you? "
I immediately answered him in a very serious voice, "Mr. Regan, how could I do that? You know, China is a huge market. We can''t miss a good opportunity in the face of such an attractive market! Entering the Chinese market can bring us huge profits! "
Regan said with a wry smile, "but Henkel is controlled by the main hall. As Zhengtang itself is a Chinese company, is it necessary for Henkel to set up its own branch in China? Henkel''s business in China can be completed through Zhengtang group. "
I said, "Mr. Regan, I have to correct your point of view." I use a tone of impartiality, solemnly said: "Henkel company is not the private property of Zhengtang! Henkel is a joint property of the board of directors! It''s not the main hall! So it''s necessary for us to develop Chinese market for Henkel, not just for Zhengtang! "
Regan grinned bitterly: "Mr. Chen, just go to persuade the board of directors - convince Li Zhengtang or Miss Yang. I''ll give you a budget right away
I smile: "thank you, Mr. Regan Well, you''ve been learning Chinese very well recently. You can even use idioms like "faking the public to help the private."
Then I immediately called Li Zhengtang and told him that I planned to set up a branch in China.
"Chen Kai!" Li Zhengtang''s voice on the phone is very helpless. "What else do you want? You''ve done enough mischief! You gave your company the 10% annual plan of Henkel''s purchasing department. I didn''t care about you. You juxtapose that small company with just one million assets with those large companies with hundreds of millions of assets as VIP, I don''t care about you! Damn it, you even printed the name of your small company on the latest batch of Henkel brochures! I still don''t care about you!! Now you want me to spend money to set up a branch in China? Shit! Do you want a Chinese company to set up a branch in China? What''s wrong with you? "
With a serious attitude, I said in a selfless tone: "Mr Chairman, I must correct your wrong view. Henkel is not a Chinese company. At most, the largest controlling shareholder of Henkel is a Chinese company, but Henkel is a German company in essence! From a legal point of view... "
"From the legal point of view!" Li Zhengtang growled.
"All right." I pretended to be helpless and said: "well, since you don''t agree with my request, I have to go to Miss Yang Wei. I think my dear fiancee will support my small decision."
"Chen Kai! You are threatening me Li Zhengtang said in a deep voice: "it''s no use for you to cooperate with Yang Wei - you should be on my side!"
I said coldly: "I only stand on my own side. I want to see which side gives me the most benefit. "
After ten seconds of silence, Li Zhengtang said in a low voice, "OK, you can set up that damned branch! But this is the last time. Stop messing around in my company! Next time, I will kick you out of the company!! Boy! "
I hung up and immediately drew up a plan to set up a branch in China. Then I faxed the plan to Yang Wei.
I didn''t call Yang Wei directly. I just wrote a sentence on the plan: Mr. Li Zhengtang has agreed.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Yang Wei came back to the plan, adding a sentence: agree.Then I received a phone call from Yang Wei, in which she only said coldly: "Chen Kai, stop mischievous, this is the last time."
I shrugged my shoulders. Then the middle-level cadres meeting of the company was held.
"Gentlemen, for the strategic development of Henkel, the board of directors and I have decided to enter China and explore the Chinese market!" I''m smiling and announcing to all the managers of the company.
The audience was stunned
Generally speaking, if the CEO of a company does things too disorderly, it will be questioned. If the board of directors loses trust in the CEO, it will be the board of directors. But I am not worried about this problem at all. Board of directors? Joke! The board of directors of Henkel is actually controlled by Yang Wei and Li Zhengtang.
Yang Wei controls 35%, Li Zhengtang controls 45%, and together they occupy 80% of Henkel''s shares. With the support of both of them, the other shareholders are rubbish in my eyes. It''s perfectly possible to treat them as if they didn''t exist.
Anyway, I''m going to leave in the future, and I don''t expect to start a career at Henkel - my career is not here.
After I announced setting up a branch in China, almost all the middle managers thought I was crazy.
Of course, before I announced another decision - in view of the huge and complex Chinese market, Henkel''s China business will be fully performed by a Chinese company acting as an agent, and Henkel''s China branch will be responsible for coordination and contact.
After this decision, almost all of the guys in Henkel regarded me as a mean, shameless guy who used the company''s funds to make personal profits for himself.
I did not see as, arranged a task, swaggered out of the meeting room.
A week later, Regan and I went to China with two assistants.
Because of my plan, Regan will be the general manager of Henkel''s China branch. Of all the people in Henkel, only Regan is my own. Regan is loyal to me personally. This important position, which can earn me a lot of money, can only be held by him.
Henkel and my small company have carried out formal cooperation, and both sides even signed the agency agreement and power of attorney for cooperation. The people of Henkel company who attended the signing ceremony looked very strange. Maybe they never dreamed that a big international company like Henkel had signed an alliance agreement with a small company of the same level.
Henkel company will invest to expand the scale of my company''s factory by way of investment. According to the agreement, these funds are not repayable by me. Instead, Henkel company occupies 15% of my factory and the company''s shares.
In other words, I don''t have to pay the money back at all. I just need to share a little of the profit every year as a dividend to Henkel. Shit, it''s cheaper than a bank loan As for their 15% stake in the company, what''s the use of 15%? The company is still in my hands. I don''t mind giving them the title of shareholder.
What I lack most now is funds.
The trip to Europe has made my company contact with some big companies, established a preliminary good relationship, and also made some orders.
But my company is too small and productivity is limited. It limits my development. If you want to expand production, you need money. But after all, I don''t have that much money - I''m a part-time worker myself. Although my annual salary is high, I spend a lot of money abroad. Moreover, my annual salary is not enough to enjoy and spend, but it''s obviously not enough to invest and start a business.
If I want to get a loan from a bank, I have some trouble. I don''t have the asset mortgage, and I''m afraid the loan is limited. So I have to think about it, so I have to think about it.
Just be mean. For the benefit of our company Besides, I''m not completely harming the interests of Henkel. There will always be dividends for them in the future.
After signing the agreement, Henkel invested a total of 2 million US dollars, which was transferred to the account. In addition, ten skilled technical instructors were sent.
I expanded my small factory in C city a lot, built two big new factories, bought three production lines and found some workers. This will cost almost all the money. The technical instructors brought by Germany were sent to the workshop to communicate with my existing technicians. Other things will be under the management of director Zhou.
Although winter has not passed, it seems that the weather has been getting warmer and warmer. People come and go on the street, everyone seems very busy.
