At this moment, Pemann was not as arrogant and rigid as he was at the airport. He was clearly a cute little white rabbit. Well, if he wanted to combine his body shape, he should be a cute polar bear, who was almost shaking his tail at Feng Xiaochen.

Feng Shuyi greeted Perman to sit down, and then introduced to Feng Xiaochen: "Mr. Perman was originally the sales manager of Philo Company. He was fired before Philo Company went bankrupt. This time, we recruited him again to be responsible for the sales of joint venture products in Germany. His loyalty to the company is completely trustworthy."

The joint venture that Feng Xiaochen mentioned to Luo Xiangfei, Meng Fanze, Qiao Ziyuan and others was actually just a private enterprise that "exports to domestic sales". The so-called German capital is the income obtained by Feng Xiaochen's sale of several patented technologies in Germany. Through the operations of Feng Hua and Feng Shuyi, Feng Xiaochen's traces were erased and became a foreign capital.

Feng Shuyi registered an investment company in Germany in his own name. Feng Xiaochen, as an anonymous shareholder, has an absolute controlling stake in it. The investment company has acquired a German machinery company that has just gone bankrupt in the market, which is the Philo Company. All the equipment of the Philo Company was shipped from Germany a few days ago and will be shipped to China and then sent to Tongchuan County, Nanjiang Province. Although these equipment is second-hand goods, it is much more advanced than the equipment of most small and medium-sized machinery companies in China. This will be Feng Xiaochen's starting capital.

The only part of Filo Company in Germany is left with one sales office, and Peman is a former Filo Company employee hired by Feng Shuyi as the sales office manager. He has two responsibilities. One is to continue to explore the German market and sell the products produced in Chinese joint ventures in Germany to earn profits and a steady stream of foreign exchange income for the joint venture; the other is to come to China as a special commissioner of Filo Company to play a double act with Feng Xiaochen to support the joint venture.

From the bottom of my heart, Feng Xiaochen really doesn't like this method. This is equivalent to using foreigners to scare the Chinese, which is something that gentlemen are not ashamed of. But at this point in the early 1980s, he had to do so.

If Feng Xiaochen did not have the hat of a foreign-funded enterprise, he would dare to open a large private enterprise by himself. What awaited him was various restrictions, which would not employ more than a few employees, which products could not impact the traditional market of state-owned enterprises, and various prejudices and discrimination against private enterprises in China were enough to make him tired of dealing with it.

In addition, the natural political disadvantage of private enterprises will also make all parties jealous of this enterprise, and all kinds of poaching, taking advantage of the situation will continue. Feng Xiaochen does not have enough strength to protect his property. It would be fine if he cannot achieve results. If he can really achieve some outstanding results, it would be like a three-year-old child who holds gold and passes the market. Isn’t this waiting for others to embezzle?

With the hat of Philo Company, the situation is very different. With Feng Xiaochen's understanding of history, for at least 20 years, the word "foreign investment" has the magical power of killing people and killing Buddhas in China. Especially in underdeveloped areas in the mainland, a foreign-funded enterprise is simply the ancestor of local officials. Peman said something in the Dongshan area, which is probably more effective than Xie Kai and Yu Changrong.

Feng Shuyi hired Peman and brought him to China, so that he could use Peman as Feng Xiaochen's soundtrack to deal with officials in Nanjiang Province and Dongshan. In fact, Peman didn't need to say anything. Just pretending to be awesome on various occasions is enough. Officials at the provincial and local levels will naturally ask Feng Xiaochen to come forward to communicate with "Mr. Perman" and ask foreigners who are not satisfied with, and what remedies they need.

Regarding Perman's responsibilities, Feng Shuyi had already given him a detailed explanation before leaving Germany. Feng Shuyi also specifically told him that the real boss of Philo's company is Feng Xiaochen, his nephew in China. Perman needs to keep a distance from Feng Xiaochen in public, but in private, Feng Xiaochen's words are an order. Perman dares to say no, and after returning to Germany, what awaits him is the fate of unemployment.

By the way, the Western world in the early 1980s was suffering from the ravages of the economic crisis, and unemployment was a very terrible thing. In fact, Western countries sent olive branches to China during that period. In addition to the factors that China actively opened up, Western countries were eager to use the Chinese market to get rid of the crisis.

Peman was in middle age, with three children at home, and his financial pressure was extremely high. Feng Shuyi gave him an annual salary of 40,000 marks, which was far higher than the salary of ordinary white-collar workers in Germany at that time, and was enough to make him loyal to the company. Peman looked great in the eyes of Chinese officials such as Chang Min and Yan Fusheng. In fact, he was just a poor and short man in Germany. He might have a little bit of the arrogance of Europeans, but he did not dare to act rashly in front of his Chinese boss.

"Boss, I did as Ms. Feng told me before. I was a little rude to you. Please forgive me." Peiman apologized to Feng Xiaochen carefully. He didn't know the Chinese boss's character. When he saw that the other party was so young, his heart was a little shocked. If the other party was young and energetic, he felt that his attitude was not humble enough, and said a few unhappy words in front of Ms. Feng, he finally got a job.

Feng Xiaochen nodded slightly and said lightly: "You performed well at the airport, and I am very satisfied. I believe you are very clear about the role you want to play. You are a very friendly investment representative to China, but for the sake of company interests, you need to bargain with China on various occasions. As for me, I am the agent entrusted by the company in China, and my words can represent the company's intentions.

In the future, whether it is public or private, you can just call me Mr. Feng, and you don’t need to call me the boss. Regarding your situation, Ms. Feng has introduced me to you before. I hope you can work hard and help us revitalize the Philo Company.”

"I understand, I will definitely work hard." Peiman nodded repeatedly, only to take out a little red book to record Feng Xiaochen's quotations.

Feng Shuyi watched Feng Xiaochen pretending, feeling funny, but she was inconvenient to expose it in front of Peman. Feng Xiaochen's words were as if he were a boss, and he would probably make Peman feel pressured. I believe that he will behave properly in his future trip to China and will not really treat himself as an investor and say something he shouldn't say.

After explaining the precautions to Perman, Feng Xiaochen asked again: "Peman, do you have any suggestions on how to produce a joint venture factory in China next? Can you tell me here? I am very willing to listen to the opinions of you old people from the Philo Company."

"Thank you, boss... no, I mean, thank you Mr. Feng." Peman quickly corrected it, then took a large paper bag, handed it to Feng Xiaochen, and said, "This is the sales information about Filo Company that I sorted out before departure. Please check it out. All technical information and patent authorization information of Filo Company were organized and organized by Ms. Feng.

In terms of sales, Philo's past main products include oil film bearings and machine tool screws, which have a certain market share in the European market. It is only in the past two years that labor costs in Germany have risen too fast, and coupled with the competition from cheap products sold by Japanese benzene companies, the competitiveness of the company's products has continued to decline, so it is... "

Speaking of this, he smiled awkwardly, feeling that it was inappropriate to feel sorry for the old boss in front of the new boss.

Feng Xiaochen didn't mind, and asked: "So in your opinion, if these products are transferred to China for production, considering China's low labor cost advantages, is it possible for our products to reoccupy the market?"

Perman hesitated and said, "The premise is that the products produced in Chinese companies can achieve the quality of production in Germany, otherwise I would not dare to predict it."

Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "This is very important. After arriving in Nanjiang, you should emphasize it in public places. We have organized production strictly in accordance with German craft standards from the beginning. We must ensure that our products are competitive in the European market."

Feng Shuyi interrupted: "Pemann had also worked in Philo's technology company. This time I agreed to him that he would stay in China for two months to guide the engineers and workers in China to produce according to German process standards."

"Yes, yes, I know very well about the production process of Philo Company. I think I will cooperate well with my Chinese colleagues," Peman confessed.

Seeing that Perman looked anxious to show himself, Feng Xiaochen nodded and said to Feng Shuyi: "Peman should enjoy business trip subsidies during his business trip in China. Have you ever told Perman about this?"

"As mentioned, according to the company's regulations, he can increase his salary by 100 marks per day during his stay in China." Feng Shuyi said.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Very good. I will explain to the managers on Tongchuan that if Peman's work is done well, he can add some bonuses on this basis."

Perman stood up excitedly, saluted Feng Xiaochen again, and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Feng. Sorry, please allow me to call you again "Boss, you are such a kind boss."
