Chapter 794 Suzuki Motorcycle
After reading the contract, I picked up the pen and signed my name without hesitation. So what if someone plots against me? Who gave me this ability? Relative to future earnings, what is the point in today's mind after being seen through.
Osamu Suzuki didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so forthcoming, similar to a contract involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Isn't it too childish to actually sign directly? It seems that my thoughts are really old and have already kept up with the rhythm of young people.
If you acquire 25% of the shares of a listed company, you must report it to the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Fortunately, the Suzuki Group is not involved in the production of military equipment, otherwise Mr. Bao would not be able to invest in it no matter how rich he was.
Osamu Suzuki: "It is said that Baosang pays attention to efficiency when doing things. Today I really saw it."
In fact, Bao Zixuan was a little anxious, and many procedures even did not comply with the company's articles of association; after all, John Chambers was the president of Heiyun Motors. Not informing him of such a big project is obviously not polite, and most importantly, disrespectful to people. It seems that some things cannot be rushed, and purchasing companies cannot make a decision at the first glance.
I can only explain it to John Chambers. Fortunately, the two had a brief communication before coming to Japan.
Bao Zixuan: "President Suzuki has been so well prepared, and I can't say nothing at all. I believe that under the leadership of President Suzuki, the Suzuki Group will definitely move towards greater glory. The future income from this investment may be a hundred times or a thousand times." Times, I just hope that President Suzuki won’t feel bad when the time comes.”
Osamu Suzuki felt that Bao Zixuan was just talking politely until Suzuki Group's market value exceeded 100 billion US dollars. Suddenly I thought of what Bao Zixuan said back then, it turned out that he had been plotted by others.
Osamu Suzuki said with a smile: "Then let me borrow Sangji's words. I believe that with our joint efforts, the Suzuki Group will definitely become the most powerful automobile manufacturer in Japan."
Bao Zixuan: "Does President Suzuki know about Huaxia's establishment of Pudong New Area in the Shanghai area?"
Although I don’t understand what Bao Zixuan means, Japanese companies are still paying attention to information about China. The two countries are so close that they will be informed of any disturbance as soon as possible. What's more, there is a lot of commotion in Pudong New Area, and most countries in the world may be aware of such a thing.
Osamu Suzuki: "Of course I know about such a big thing. I heard that Bao Sang has invested more than 5 billion US dollars in Pudong New Area. It has caused a sensation. It seems that Bao Sang is courageous."
Bao Zixuan is not a targetless person, since he mentioned Pudong New Area. There must be some project that Suzuki needs to invest in, otherwise they wouldn't even mention it.
It's better to wait for this kid to speak first, no matter whether it is to advance or retreat. Suzuki will have more choices, and it won't talk too much.
Bao Zixuan: "Suzuki started out as a motorcycle manufacturer, and its technical reserves in this area should be among the top in the world!"
Hearing this, Osamu Suzuki felt slighted. In the field of motorcycles, Suzuki can definitely rank among the top three in the world and second in Japan. And as a company that has been developing and producing motorcycles since 1952, there is absolutely no problem with its technical reserves; otherwise, it would be impossible to start a company.
Osamu Suzuki said very formally: "I dare not say anything more in other fields, but in the motorcycle field. Suzuki Motorcycle will never lose to other companies and is not afraid to compete with any opponent."
In fact, the companies that produce motorcycles in the world are nothing more than Honda, Yamaha, Harley, Suzuki, etc. Other companies are more of a hobby, or their focus has long been no longer on motorcycles.
Honda is currently focusing on developing automobiles, and Yamaha is synonymous with diversified production. Only Harley focuses on motorcycle R&D and production. However, Harley mainly produces high-end motorcycles and its output is limited.
Suzuki's first main business is motorcycle production, followed by speedboats, and finally small cars.
Although what Osamu Suzuki said is a bit exaggerated, it is still within a reasonable range. Because there is really no clear definition of who is first and who is second.
Could it be that Bao Zixuan wants the Suzuki Group to invest in a motorcycle factory in Pudong New Area? This is a big question mark given the economic strength of the Chinese people.
Motorcycles are more like a transitional product, with limited purchasing power in developing countries. People in developed countries buy motorcycles more for fun. The position is quite embarrassing, which is why all motorcycle manufacturers except Harley want to transform.
Osamu Suzuki: "Bao Sang means that Suzuki wants to invest in a motorcycle factory in Pudong New Area. With all due respect, with China's consumption power, they can afford Suzuki motorcycles."
Although China's population exceeds 1 billion, it is still an undeveloped country in the world. Instinctively, it would be considered that consumption capacity is limited. It was not until the GDP growth rate shocked the world that other countries began to face up to this problem.
Bao Zixuan: "China has a population of more than 1 billion, but the roads are not very good. In some places, the demand for cars is not that strong. Motorcycles are the best means of transportation."
"While women's pursuit of beauty has little to do with economic conditions, Suzuki is in a dominant position in the field of women's motorcycles. As long as a motorcycle that can transport cargo is produced in China, and a cool motorcycle suitable for women is , there is no need to worry about sales.”
"Mr. Suzuki has probably never been to China, but has only seen some information from the information. China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and people's purchasing power has increased day by day."
"And the production costs in China are very low. Suzuki can completely supply part of it to the Southeast Asian market. No matter how it operates, there will be no losses."
Bao Zixuan's analysis is very reasonable, and it is backed by an investment of US$5 billion from Heiyun Group. Suzuki would not suffer any loss at this time. The most important thing is that the motorcycle factory does not need much capital.
Bao Zixuan continued: "After the introduction of the Heiyun model, Suzuki's motorcycle production line will inevitably be eliminated. It can be completely repaired and then a new motorcycle factory will be built in Pudong."
Hearing that second-hand production lines could be used, Osamu Suzuki was very interested. The land price in China is cheap, and there is no need to invest much in building a factory. Previously, most of the investment was in production equipment, but Bao Zixuan's proposal gave him a new idea. Suzuki motorcycle production equipment has always been well maintained, even if it has been used for 10 years without any problems.
In fact, this was the reason why Bao Zixuan dared to let Suzuki put second-hand equipment in Shanghai. Although he didn't want to admit it, Japanese industrial companies did have their own uniqueness in equipment care and maintenance.
Osamu Suzuki: "Baosang is still thoughtful. Currently, motorcycle sales in Japan are very poor. Sales in the Southeast Asian market are growing rapidly, so we can ship these equipment to China. We will build a new factory and let them continue to use their remaining heat."
Japan's domestic housing and land prices are no longer suitable for building factories without government subsidies. The land cost alone is an astronomical figure. Previously, we were considering how to coordinate the production line after introducing the Heiyun model. It turns out that the young man in front of him has already thought about it. No wonder Heiyun Group is developing so rapidly. With such a person at the helm who takes one step and sees three steps, how can the company develop quickly?
Bao Zixuan: "That's what I mean. The current land prices in Japan and Xiangjiang are not suitable for building large-scale factories. We are all companies engaged in manufacturing. If we can't prepare for a rainy day, the future will be very difficult."
"Although local manufacturing is very important, there are so many companies in Japan. If they don't go out and they all pile up in Japan, the final result will be a dead end."
What Bao Zixuan said made Suzuki Xiu feel the same. The high housing prices brought about by high land prices have, to a certain extent, restricted the development of domestic manufacturing. Not every product has high profits.
Osamu Suzuki: "How big a motorcycle factory does Baosang want Suzuki to invest in?"
Bao Zixuan is very ambitious and must do his best in everything he does. Suzuki can't stand the trouble, but it doesn't have the financial wealth of the Heiyun Group.
Bao Zixuan: "We can build it in three phases. In the first phase, all the equipment removed from the Suzuki Japan factory will be moved to the new Pudong factory."
Hearing that the initiative was in his own hands, Suzuki Osamu finally felt confident. Suzuki also needs to re-establish the production line of the Black Cloud model, and it is really beyond its capabilities to invest in China.
Osamu Suzuki: "The current financial situation of Suzuki is not very ideal. In the early stage, it needs to meet the construction of the production line of Heiyun authorized models. Other aspects may be delayed, so I hope Baosang can give some support."
As long as Suzuki wants to do it, it's also an advertising effect. It will be very difficult for Pudong Economic Express to take off by relying solely on Heiyun Group, an industrial enterprise.
The final result of the negotiation was that Heiyun and Suzuki each held half of the shares; it can be said that Suzuki did not contribute much money at all. After all, second-hand production lines, technology patents, etc. offset a large part of the funds.
