Chapter 706 Taijun's family has no more food
"I would like to ask Mr. Feng, are you interested in acquiring some Japanese manufacturing companies?"
Guo Peiyuan opened his mouth and scared Feng Xiaochen.
"What did you say, to acquire a Japanese manufacturing enterprise?" Feng Xiaochen stared at Guo Peiyuan and asked.
Guo Peiyuan nodded: "Yes. Mr. Feng should know that the Japanese economy has been in a recession over the years. Many companies that I have contacted in the past are in operational difficulties. This Asian financial crisis has affected Japan, and the yen has depreciated significantly, and the stock market has also been affected. Several Japanese... uh, Japanese friends all want to transfer their businesses, so I am placing them on my head."
"I ask you to resell the company? But why are you here to find me?" Feng Xiaochen still didn't understand. Did he and Guo Peiyuan have such a good relationship?
Guo Peiyuan stammered for a while before saying, "Mr. Feng, actually, before this, I also contacted some units and some private bosses, but they didn't trust me and were unwilling to take on this matter. So..."
Feng Xiaochen asked with some uncertainty: "Mr. Guo, what do you mean is that I trust you very much?"
Guo Peiyuan's face turned red with a rare moment, and he said, "No, I know Mr. Feng has always had some prejudices against me."
"Pretary?" Feng Xiaochen said in a long voice.
"No, no, no, it's not prejudice, it's... it's understanding." Guo Peiyuan quickly changed his words. He reorganized the language and then said: "Mr. Feng, I know that some of the things I did in the past are indeed not human affairs. Mr. Feng's view of me is correct, and I dare not complain. However, Mr. Feng, people always change. I, Guo Peiyuan, also have the desire to turn back to the right and become a human again. This time, I did consider our country. I think this matter should be beneficial to our China, so I came to you. I have no idea of cheating the Chinese for the Japanese."
Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Guo, what is your reason for this matter?"
When Guo Peiyuan heard Feng Xiaochen's question, he immediately felt relieved. He knew that Feng Xiaochen's question meant he was interested in this matter. To be honest, the person who knew you best was your enemy. Guo Peiyuan regarded Feng Xiaochen as his enemy for a long time, so he had conducted serious research on Feng Xiaochen. He knew that Feng Xiaochen was open-minded, dared to accept all kinds of new things, and would not stick to the old rules. It is precisely because of this that even if he, Guo Peiyuan, is a person who is unforgivable in Feng Xiaochen's mind, Feng Xiaochen will give him a chance.
"Mr. Feng, I know that Equipment Industry Company has always been committed to introducing advanced foreign technologies to improve our own technical level in China. The Japanese technology is much stronger than ours, and China has introduced a lot of Japanese technologies in recent years. Some Japanese companies are unwilling to transfer the most advanced technologies to China for the sake of competing with China, which makes us unable to learn even if we want to. Do you think this is the case?" Guo Peiyuan asked.
"You keep talking." Feng Xiaochen said lightly without comment.
Guo Peiyuan continued: "But now the opportunity has come. Japan's domestic economy is in a downturn. Many manufacturing companies have been working on stocks and real estate a few years ago, and have trapped their money. Now the stock market has fallen and the real estate market has collapsed. These companies are insolvent and can only sell them. Don't you think they are all bankrupt companies, but their technology is still there. If we can buy these companies, won't their technology be bought as well? This is equivalent to buying technology that we used to buy even if we wanted to buy. Isn't this a good thing for us?"
"But why don't these bankrupt Japanese companies take over with them with other Japanese companies?" Meng Yang asked from the side.
Guo Peiyuan said: "This is because other Japanese companies are in a bad mood and cannot afford to buy them."
"I think it's not only that?" Feng Xiaochen said.
Guo Peiyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Mr. Feng mean?"
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "I don't know which companies entrust you to come to China to find buyers. However, as you said just now, the only value of these companies is some of the technologies they have. These technologies are very advanced for China and are worth some money. But if you want to sell them to other Japanese companies, those Japanese companies are not interested in these technologies, so they can't sell them for the price. Mr. Guo, don't you?"
Guo Peiyuan's face was a little stiff, and he smiled and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Feng is indeed extremely wise. To be honest, the Japanese entrepreneurs who asked me to contact Chinese buyers did have such an idea. If their company is sold in Japan, no one will take over, even if someone takes over, they will not be able to give a good price, so they want to come to China to try their luck."
"So you think of me, the sucker?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"No, no." Guo Peiyuan said repeatedly, "Mr. Feng, I have never thought you were a sucker. Every time I deal with you, I am the one who suffers in the end. How dare I underestimate your vision? I think you may also be interested in these companies. After all, some of the patents they have in their hands are indeed useful to us, just like the four sets of large fertilizers in Argentina last time. If we can master the patents of Chigu, wouldn't we have to work so much to do another one?"
Feng Xiaochen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you saying that the companies you want to sell include Ikegai Products?"
"This is not." Guo Peiyuan said, "I'm just giving an example. Among these companies, there is indeed a Japanese chemical equipment company called Japan Akima Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd. When we introduced large fertilizer equipment in the past, we also introduced their technology."
"Qiujian Club, I am indeed a little interested in this company." Feng Xiaochen nodded. He is not unfamiliar with this company and knows that it has a large number of patents on chemical equipment, which are very helpful for China to improve its chemical equipment technical level. In addition, Qiujian Club is a large enterprise and its production equipment is also very advanced. Acquiring this company means that you can obtain these equipment. If the price is not too high, this transaction is quite appropriate.
"What assets are Qiujian Club planning to sell, and how much money does Mineronji hope we can use to acquire it?" Feng Xiaochen asked. Mineronji is now the president of Qiujian Club, and Feng Xiaochen has dealt with him in the past.
"Minelongji asked his subordinates to contact me, saying that he planned to sell the entire Qiujian Club in package and the price was about 50 billion to 60 billion yen." Guo Peiyuan said. He didn't dare to be smart in front of Feng Xiaochen. He finally got an opportunity to communicate with Feng Xiaochen in a harmonious way. If he said something wrong and annoyed Feng Xiaochen, he would not be able to continue talking later.
Guo Peiyuan gritted his teeth and came to Feng Xiaochen to promote those bankrupt Japanese companies, of course, not out of patriotism, but because those companies promised him a considerable intermediary commission. If a company like Qiujian Club can really sell it to China for 50 billion yen through his hands, the agency fee he can get is as much as 200 million yen. Even if the yen is depreciating now, the money is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, which is enough for him to live like a rich man in the second half of his life.
Well, Guo Peiyuan is not a time traveler after all, and he didn't know that this money was enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment next to the Fifth Ring Road in the later capital, and he couldn't even have the money to decorate. In the late 1990s, he could indeed be considered a rich man with more than 10 million yuan in China. What's more, Qiujian Club was just one of the companies he entrusted to sell. If he could promote more transactions, wouldn't the commission double?
With such a huge profit, he would not hesitate to come to Feng Xiaochen to smile, even if he was asked to kneel down to Feng Xiaochen and call him father or something.
"50 billion to 60 billion yen?" Feng Xiaochen thought about it in his mind. To be honest, this price is really a conscientious price. 50 billion to 60 billion yen is equivalent to 400 million to 500 million US dollars. Akima Company owns four factories and a research institute in Japan. With various intangible assets, it is roughly estimated that it can be worth 1 billion US dollars. Now it has almost been a half-discount, and it is quite cost-effective to buy it.
However, Feng Xiaochen is not a kind person. Taking advantage of your illness and killing you. This is Feng Xiaochen's principle of being a human being. Of course, this means that when interacting with foreign countries, Xiao Feng has always been as warm as spring to the Chinese people.
"Old Guo, I want to ask, do you know what the offer from domestic Japanese companies to Qiujian Club?" Feng Xiaochen asked bluntly. He changed the name of Guo Peiyuan to "Old Guo", and the hint in it would be very strong. If Guo Peiyuan was willing to stand on the side of the equipment company and reveal the Japanese trump card, then Feng Xiaochen would not mind treating him as a friend and would call him "Old Guo" in the future. If Guo Peiyuan did not do this, and said he didn't understand or was inconvenient to disclose it, Feng Xiaochen would rename him "General Guo". As for whether he would cooperate with him later, only God knows.
Guo Peiyuan is also a smart person. When he heard Feng Xiaochen's name, he felt a little sad. To be honest, he really didn't plan to make friends with Feng Xiaochen. This time he came to ask Feng Xiaochen for business, and he was also doing business. How could the two of them become friends? But Feng Xiaochen was forcing him to take sides, either be friends or enemies, you can choose it yourself.
"Mr. Feng, the domestic quotation in Japan has not told me..." Guo Peiyuan said hesitantly. Before Feng Xiaochen said anything, he rushed to add: "However, I asked someone to inquire. It seems that domestic companies in Japan are not particularly interested in the Akima Club. One company has quoted a purchase price, which is about 18 billion yen."
