Chapter 333 Free lunch?

As soon as the registration form of Tairong Heijiang General Factory was released, it caused a sensation in the factory. Six of the employees in the entire factory lived in the old city that was about to be renovated. Even employees living in other districts strongly asked the factory to give them a registration form after receiving the news. In their words, why can employees of the same factory get the advantage of the big boss, but they can't do it themselves? It's obviously unfair to do this. Besides, even if they don't live in the old city, they can buy a house in the old city after the old city is renovated.

In view of the strong demands of employees, the factory specifically asked the above for instructions, and then announced that the issuance of this registration form is not restricted. Any formal employees who work in the factory and sign a labor contract can enjoy this right. When the news spread, the whole factory was filled with joy, and every employee's face was full of joy.

On the surface, Tairong Heijiang General Factory made a deal that was not worth the loss, but in fact, this deal only made no loss. It was exactly the same as the "zero down payment" that Zhou Liwen had made for Director Wen before. In the next decade, the national real estate prices have been rising rapidly. On this basis, the so-called annual increase of 2% spoons per year for the repurchase commitment is actually impossible.

Of course, this impossible is not because Tairong Heijiang General Factory made a comeback. After the registration form is submitted, there will be a formal contract between the two parties for employees who need a loan and sign the agreement. It will be written in black and white. Tairong Heijiang General Factory will never break the contract unless it doesn't think about it.

Because Zhou Liwen is very clear that the annual increase in housing prices in the next few years is far more than 2 to 5 years later, even if the houses are sold in the market, the price is much higher than the repurchase ratio promised by the factory. In this case, ordinary people are not fools, so how can they buy the houses instead of taking advantage of the houses?

Therefore, this is impossible. Moreover, using this reconstruction of the old city, Shanghai Bank, as a commercial bank institution, can get the greatest benefits in it. Zhou Liwen seems a bit strange to do this, but he has many benefits to doing this. First, he uses this method to tie the employees of the Heijiang General Factory in Tairong, which has the highest income in Heijiang, to a chariot, and use this tempting agreement to arouse their strong desire to buy, in order to reduce the resistance to relocation and reconstruction.

Secondly, taking this as an opportunity, Shanghai Bank will have full access to the northern market, compete with some old banks in the north, and expand its business scope.

Third, employees of Tairong Heijiang General Factory took the lead and speculated on the Heijiang real estate market in this way, attracting surrounding real estate investment, and accelerating Heijiang urban construction planning.

In addition to these three key points, there are many things to do, so I won’t express it one by one. In the final analysis, Zhou Liwen is equivalent to taking out the money from the left pocket with one hand, and then stuffing the money into the right pocket with the right hand. While changing hands, the money is wonderfully increased.

This plan was achieved after many discussions between Zhou Liwen and Richard, but unexpectedly the effect was significant.

After the city had just officially announced the plan to renovate the four old urban areas, the residents of the old urban areas burst out with great enthusiasm. Although there were some minor frictions, it still made Brother Jian very happy in general.

Most residents cooperate very well with the registration and expressed a strong desire to buy a house and relocate. According to the different requirements of each household, the relocation group conducts classified registration and finally summarizes and reports.

By the end of the year, all the 6 acres of land that have been relocated will be completed, and the resettlement housing and low-rent housing in the suburbs will be almost completed. Residents will make orderly resettlement or resolve the transition themselves according to the signed agreement. By this time next year, this originally dirty and dirty place will be covered by newly built high-rise buildings and greening, becoming the first achievement of the reconstruction of Heijiang Laocheng District.

Seeing all this, Brother Jian, who was a little nervous at first, finally felt relieved. Zhou Liwen did not lie to him. Fuli Real Estate, which he and Richard jointly ventured, did make great efforts in the reconstruction of the old city of Heijiang. It not only maintained social stability but also brought him political achievements. In addition, the indigenous residents who purchased separately or relocated were happily waiting for the completion of the new building.

The first phase of the 6-acre reconstruction can bring Heijiang City a GDP of up to 1.7 billion to the next phase two and third phases... The continued project was launched and the GDP figure he had originally expected was almost easily completed, and the entire Heijiang would also shock the whole province with a new look.

But at this time, Zhou Liwen had already left Heijiang. As the end of the year approached, he had to go back to the United States to meet with his family and have Christmas and New Year together.

When he came back this time, he almost kept going, and how to rest. Fortunately, the situation in China was much better than he had expected before he came back, at least he didn't encounter any big trouble. After returning to Shanghai, Zhou Liwen had almost completed the adjustments to several companies. After some preparation, Zhou Liwen planned to take Liu Ting back to the United States. Didn't Liu Ting say that she would visit his home in the United States to see Lin Yaxuan and her children, and also have to spend Christmas in the United States. After the holiday, she would also inspect the e-commerce market in the United States.

Zhou Liwen happened to have a charter flight, so she simply asked her to go with her. The black and white demons around her must be accompanied by her. However, since Zhou Liwen has to deal with some of the final work of the huge enterprises and assets of Shanghai and Huacheng, and some of the shares are involved in the Xiangjiang company, there are not many lawyers and accountants who go back with him, and most of them are still staying in China.

On February 18, Zhou Liwen set off early. His special plane took off from Shanghai Airport, passed through Tokyo before transferring to the west coast of the United States.

Staying from Tokyo was a decision made by Zhou Liwen when he left because he wanted to take this opportunity to meet Masayoshi Son at the SoftBank headquarters in Tokyo.

When contacting Masayoshi Son, Chow Liwen would not let Liu Ting come forward, but instead through his American company and Cisco channels. When Masayoshi Son learned that Or's head was asking to visit Japan, he happily replied to the United States, saying that he particularly welcomed Mr. Zhou's arrival of Bavc.

The plane took off in Shanghai and told Masayoshi Son the trip before the takeoff. A few hours later, the plane landed at Narita Airport on time. After Carl and the others made arrangements in advance, Zhou Liwen stood up and got off the gangway with Liu Ting.

In order to show respect for Zhou Liwen, Masayoshi Son unexpectedly went to the airport to pick him up. Except when he met, Chow Liwen was a little surprised that Masayoshi Son was wearing simple clothes. The other party did not wear a brand new handmade suit like a rich man, but instead wore a very ordinary store product. Although there was not much difference, Zhou Liwen could tell at a glance that suits like him were probably the price that ordinary white-collar workers wore in the store.

Moreover, when he shook hands with Zhou Liwen, he found that Masayoshi Son was wearing a Citizen watch that had been a bit old. No wonder some people in later newspapers always laughed at Masayoshi Son for treating money more than his life. He was usually reluctant to spend money and was an extremely stingy guy.

As for Masayoshi Son, he was surprised by Zhou Liwen's age. Although he had learned about Zhou Liwen in news reports, he was different from the face-to-face meeting after all. He stood with Masayoshi Son, who was 1.5 meters tall and half-bad, and was tall and elegant.

Masayoshi Son is a Korean Japanese, but he grew up and studied in the United States since he was a child, and he spoke very well in English. Therefore, there was no problem with the exchange between him and Zhou Liwen.

The two sides made a brief remark. Masayoshi Son smiled and invited Zhou Liwen to take his ride. Zhou Liwen happily agreed that the two got on together. As for the other followers, there were naturally other car arrangements.

In order to entertain the guests, Masayoshi Son booked a presidential suite for Chow Liwen on pakatfTv in Shinjuku. Although the price of this hotel is not the most expensive in Tokyo, it is definitely the best hotel in Tokyo. The high-end rooms are basically not suitable for the public. Only people with wealth and status like Masayoshi Son have this privilege.

When we arrived at the hotel and everyone sat down, Zhou Liwen felt much more relaxed.

There is no way, the Japanese have too many etiquettes, and they bow from time to time. Although Zhou Liwen is a guest, he has to give him a gift when he bows. After a while, he seems a little uncomfortable.

As early as 1995, Masayoshi Son had a cooperation with Chambers. Cisco was preparing to set up a branch in Japan. In just one month, Son Bank continuously invited fourteen Japanese companies to invest 40 million US dollars to make perfect preparations for the establishment of Cisco's Japanese company.

For this reason, Cisco's business leader Clark praised Masayoshi Son, which enabled his two companies to cooperate well.

After sitting down, Masayoshi Son and Zhou Liwen laughed at these past events. Chambers, as their common friends and partners, still had a common language at least in this regard.

Talk and laugh, the atmosphere was very harmonious. After that, Zhou Liwen directly called Masayoshi Son "Maaut", and Masayoshi Son also generally called Zhou Liwen "Bavc" with his old friends.

"Bavc, do you want to invest in this time when you come to Japan? If Or wants to open a branch in Japan, we SoftBank can help." After chatting some gossip, Masayoshi Son inquired about the purpose of Zhou Liwen coming to Japan, and asked Or whether he had the idea of ​​opening a Japanese branch. Since Cisco's previous successful cooperation in Japan branch, Masayoshi Son still attaches great importance to this project.

What's more, Or mobile phones have become synonymous with smartphones now. Masayoshi Son, who is far away in Japan, has certainly heard that although there are not many Or mobile phones in the Japanese market, this is due to the Japanese market system. If Or set up a branch in Japan, it would be natural to enter the Japanese market in large quantities.

"I have this idea." Zhou Liwen nodded without any concealment: "Japan is a large market in East Asia. The entire Japanese population has a huge population of more than 100 million. This market is no less than mainland China, Europe and North America in a sense. However, Maaut, you also know that your Japanese market is exclusion from the outside. My products are different from Cisco. I am mainly facing market consumers. In this case, it may be extremely resistance to open a branch in Japan."

"This is the fact." Masayoshi Son grew up in the United States, with a Western frank personality: "This is true in the Japanese business world. Moreover, Japanese mobile phone manufacturers include Sony, which just acquired Ericsson, as well as Sharp, Sanyo, Toshiba and other major old electronic manufacturers. These old consortiums are all in a group. If they can't do a good job in the market, they don't want others to come in, but they are really..."

Speaking of this, Masayoshi Son shook his head. Although he did not do the mobile phone industry, he still had a good understanding of these market conditions in the electronics field. In the past two years, Japan's mobile phones, including electrical appliances, have already taken a wrong path. Companies deliberately pursue the diversity of functions and make some almost useless functions extremely complicated. However, they have always ignored them in real technology and market aspects, and have simply become obsessed with it.

Since the end of the last century, Japanese electrical products have become a monster, and their share in the international market has been declining year by year. But somehow, those large consortium companies still do not repent and are still wandering around in a dead end that cannot be reached. In recent years, Chinese electrical appliances have gradually caught up, especially Chinese brand electrical products like Haier have replaced the share of Japanese products in the Chinese market. As for mobile phone manufacturing, let alone, except for the good-looking styles of Japanese mobile phones, the rest of them are useless and have been beaten by major international mobile phone brands. After Or mobile phones emerged, Japanese mobile phones further shrank in the Chinese market. Except for Sony, which acquired Ericsson, it was not bad, the sales of the other brands were bleak.

But even so, they still dream of Japanese electrical appliances and even Japanese mobile phones being the best in the world. Many Japanese people didn't know that their country's electrical appliances and mobile phone manufacturing had already entered a dead end and were thrown far behind by competitors. This was the Japanese's arrogance and also the sadness of Japan. It was not until many years later that Japan gradually realized it, but by then it was already too late.

"Or is still very optimistic about the Japanese market, but I think the time is not ripe now, but it is feasible to set up a branch first, such as an office, and so on. At that time, I will inevitably ask Maaut for help."

"Haha, this is a trivial matter, everything is easy to say." Masayoshi Son agreed readily. But the next sentence from Zhou Liwen made him sit up and startled.

Zhou Liwen told Son that this time he passed by Tokyo to find him to make friends on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was to take a look at the Japanese market. Another thing is that Or intends to find a suitable operator to cooperate in Japan. If Son is interested in this, Zhou Liwen doesn't mind cooperating with this project with SoftBank.

"Operator" Masayoshi Son touched his chin. To be honest, when he met Zhou Liwen today, he had already thought of becoming an Or operator. Masayoshi Son's eyes were fierce. He could see that Or's smartphones had become a climate, especially Zhou Liwen's mobile operating system and application platform store. These two big moves were almost a replica of Microsoft's pC computers back then. Moreover, unlike Microsoft, Zhou Liwen himself is a mobile phone manufacturer, and Or's future is very broad. If SoftBank can become the operator of Or mobile phones, it would not be a problem to defeat the broken mobile phone market in Japan.

Japan has a population of more than 100 million, which is a huge market. Masayoshi Son's eyes have long been on this piece of fat, but he never expected that Zhou Liwen and he invited him as an Or mobile phone operator for the first time when they met. This was too easy. Masayoshi Son turned his eyes to Zhou Liwen, secretly guessing in his heart that he was doing this. As a successful businessman, he did not believe that Zhou Liwen was a selfless and kind person as pure as an angel, or the so-called "Lei Feng" that the Chinese people have always praised.

"I don't understand. With the current development momentum of Or, we are not the only SoftBank who is looking for cooperation in Japan. It's your first time in Japan. I'm confident that I have some connections in Japan and have never heard of your company having contact with any Japanese operator. So why did you give this project to SoftBank? If you don't understand this question, I'm afraid." Masayoshi Son smiled and shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands like Westerners.

Zhou Liwen said: "Maaut Can't you think that we would do this only after seeing this?"

"Only God believes this answer." Son laughed happily.

"Okay, you cunning fox, it seems that you will not accept my kindness if you don't explain this clearly." Zhou Liwen seemed helpless and shook her head and said.

Masayoshi Son waited for Zhou Liwen's explanation with a smile, but Zhou Liwen did not explain, but picked up the phone in the room and dialed the extension number, then hung up after saying a few words.

Looking at the inquiring gaze that Masayoshi Son looked at him, Zhou Liwen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to you when my subordinates come."

"subordinate?"

Zhou Liwen nodded.

Soon, Liu Ting, who lives downstairs, came up. After ringing the bell and entering the door, Zhou Liwen signaled her to sit aside, and then introduced to Masayoshi Son: "Maaut, this is my right-hand man, Miss Liu."

"We have seen it at the airport." Masayoshi Son smiled and stood up to shake hands with Liu Ting. At the same time, he was a little surprised. Is there anything wrong with this woman being beautiful? Zhou Liwen talked to him about the operator, so why did he call her over? What does it matter?
