Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The big fat man doesn't wear fancy clothes today.

"How is the progress of the blue LED joint venture project in Asia Pacific?"

"It hasn't started yet. Due to the equity ratio in the joint venture plan, the two parties have not reached a consistent opinion. The Chinese side hopes to introduce Optoelectronics Research as one of the shareholders. The Asia-Pacific side does not quite agree to introduce another joint venture partner. Because there are many Introducing a partner will reduce our equity ratio."

The hot female assistant, on the sidelines, introduced the latest situation.

————————

In this era, foreign parties involved in joint venture construction actually face many problems, such as foreign exchange control and legal systems.But there are two major influences.

The first issue is the equity ratio. Many joint ventures are competing for the last one percent of the equity.The equity at this point actually represents the right to speak.In the case of imperfect systems, many foreign-funded enterprises have simply insisted on the 51% requirement.

The second is the bizarre dual-track exchange rate issue.In the case of a joint venture, the valuation of the assets of both parties is based on the official price.In other words, during the joint venture process, the foreign party will face asset exchange losses.

Therefore, in the process of joint ventures, foreign parties generally use the form of physical investment in equipment to buy shares, or even falsely report asset prices and equipment prices to hedge against such exchange losses.

Later generations of joint ventures entered the Chinese market in large numbers. One reason was that the investment environment was improving day by day, and the other reason was the gradual integration of foreign exchange rates.

Since 1994, the RMB has implemented a single, managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand.Of course, there are still black market prices at this time, but the exchange rate difference between the two is already less than 10%.

"Tell them to agree to the Chinese plan and introduce optoelectronic research! This is a respectable opponent and partner. We need a strong partner. The Asia-Pacific region is too small and we can't figure out the priorities."

The fat man threw the journal on the table casually.

"What is the purpose of the joint venture? Isn't it just to find a strong partner? The partner is here, actually pushing people out?

Are they all shit in their heads?Tell them, if you can't get this agreement, substitute!"

The boss doesn't care what people underneath think.One sentence denies all the efforts and achievements of the people below.

Bingcheng, Building One, large conference room on the second floor.

"On the side of Xizi, I hope we can help coordinate the negotiation with the University of Technology."

A strange foreign business request came from the foreign trade department.

"Coordination? Coordinating what?"

Boss Luo could not understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

"That's it. They were negotiating patent licensing with the University of Technology. Because of the relationship between Christmas and New Year's Day, their negotiators withdrew early. Now they want to continue this negotiation, but there seems to be no one at the University of Technology to take care of them. Living."

The cadre who introduced the situation can only secretly praise the attitude of the University of Technology: "You are so kind!"

"University of Technology? Isn't the University of Technology a holiday?"

Mayor Luo asked suspiciously.

"The National University of Technology is on holiday, but their affiliated companies do not let it go."

"Oh, is Xizi still planning to invest in semiconductor production lines this time?"

After rounds of information bombardment, everyone knows what blue LEDs are.It seems that no one can get the exclusive license that everyone competed in the past.

"I'm afraid not. This negotiation is just an ordinary authorization, not an exclusive."

"Then ignore him. The next issue."

Everyone's time is precious.

————————

"Wait a minute, I have a request here!" The comrade of the Economic Commission raised his hand.

"Philip sent a request, hoping that we would send someone to participate in their negotiations with the University of Technology."

"Huh? Isn't their joint venture agreement almost discussed?"

The joint venture agreement between Philip and the University of Technology is regarded as the first semiconductor production line to land in Bingcheng.It has also received attention from all parties.Perhaps it has reached the final stage of signing.

"I don't know, this request came from Philip's Asia Pacific headquarters. The local Philippians seem to have not returned yet."

People in the Economic Commission also expressed confusion about this kind of thing.

"Okay! Look, who needs to be sent? Is it the final signing agreement? If I need to participate, let me know."

Since the level of the request is relatively high, it is also the intention to send a leader.

So many mayors, vice mayors, are they just used to fill the front.Besides, this kind of thing is obviously giving credit, and everyone will be willing to appear.

Ice city

Friendship Hotel, third floor

After several days of trekking, Ryder finally returned to Ice City.

Since the three links have not yet been implemented, communication between the three sides of the strait is extremely difficult.In addition, the Bingcheng Airport has not been expanded, even if it is traveling within the country, everyone's preferred mode of transportation is the slow train.Every trip back to Taiwan is a painful process for him.

"Mary, a good Chinese New Year!"

As soon as Ryder entered the office, he greeted the local employees who stayed in the office one by one.But what is strange is that these subordinates did not respond to him at the first time, but looked at him with surprise, as if his appearance was an accident.

"Liu Jing, what's wrong?"

But before he got an answer from his subordinates, a familiar figure walked out of Ryder's own office.

"Marcus, why are you here?"

"Ride, I want to talk to you."

————————

After the two senior managers walked into the office, the people in the outer lobby were talking a lot.

"Sister Liu, we won't be affected!"

A young girl who had just joined the job came to Liu Jing's side, seeking comfort.

"No, you are all working, no matter what changes happen, it will not affect you."

After Liu Jing calmed down her young colleague, she turned around to look through the documents calmly.But before her eyes, those boring words and numbers became meaningless.

The personnel adjustment this time has no signs at all.

Before the Spring Festival, everyone was still cheering for the vigorous development of the Ice City branch.

A number of new projects will start rapidly after the Spring Festival, including Philip's first semiconductor production line in the Northeast.Every person in the Bingcheng office is proud of this thriving collective.Everyone is gearing up for a big fight.

But just after the holiday, I received a bolt from the blue.The headquarters is not satisfied with the project progress of the Bingcheng branch and has to make major adjustments to the personnel structure of the entire branch.This is why Marcus hurried over from Japan.
