Foreign businessmen arrived at the government symposium in the evening. Li Feifei came to inform Guan Hongyue that she could go to the meeting. When she saw Chen Fei, the girl smiled at him.
It was a bit surprising. I didn't expect Chen Fei to be here too. It seemed that he would attend the symposium in the evening.
Guan Hongyue left first, and Chen Fei followed behind. He also chatted with Li Feifei: "Is everyone here? How many?"
"There are more than a dozen foreign business owners. I didn't expect you to attend the symposium tonight." Li Feifei said, "I'll bring you some food later, otherwise you won't be able to handle it."
"What's the meaning?"
"I heard from colleagues that this meeting will last at least several hours, and it's normal to last until dawn!" Li Feifei glanced at Guan Hongyue in front of her and whispered, "Everyone says that Mayor Guan is going to torture the foreign businessmen this time, and gather them together to torture them together!"
Chen Fei couldn't help but smile, feeling that it was quite interesting.
Although there were more than a dozen foreign businessmen coming, only two powerful companies were interested in the Hongqi Factory. They were Sony Corporation from Taiwan and Taihe Group from Hong Kong. After all, the Hongqi Factory was too large to be easily taken over by any company!
More small foreign companies followed the two companies, hoping to wait for the other party to take over the Hongqi factory and then get some business. Some people will eat meat and some will eat bones, depending on the outcome of the negotiations.
Chen Fei and Guan Hongyue entered the conference room together. It felt amazing. This was the first time he met so many foreign bosses. They briefly introduced each other but Chen Fei didn't understand.
Oh my dear mother!
He couldn't understand the Mandarin these people spoke at all, and Chen Fei was also confused. However, after listening to Guan Hongyue's introduction, Chen Fei knew who was the person in charge of Sony Shares and who was the boss of Taihe Group!
Two middle-aged fat men, smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
Guan Hongyue was straightforward and after a few pleasantries she got straight to the point, discussing the attitudes of Sony Corp. and Taihe Group towards the restructuring of the Hongqi factory.
However, the two bosses did not answer, but looked at Chen Fei.
Mr. Chen from Sony Corporation, who seemed to be a close relative of Fade Chen, asked Guan Hongyue, "Mayor Guan, is Mr. Chen also participating in the restructuring of the Hongqi Factory? I haven't heard of him before!"
"Our city government considered Chen Fei and considered his own wishes, so we agreed to let him try. Of course, his strength is not as strong as yours, but you are still our preferred partner!"
Chen Fei is just a backup option, you can rest assured!
Mr. Chen from Sony Corporation and Mr. Li from Taihe Group nodded immediately. They immediately understood that this was Guan Hongyue's strategy.
"Welcome, Mr. Chen. We'll have a good chat later!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
A group of foreign businessmen followed Mr. Chen and Boss Li to deal with Chen Fei, but no one knew what they were thinking.
Chen Fei also responded politely.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Guan Hongyue quickly livened it up. After a few words, she talked to Chen Fei and got down to business.
"Mr. Chen and Mr. Li, we've discussed the Red Flag Factory matter several times. I believe you've reviewed the relevant information. Do you have any thoughts?"
The other foreign businessmen all quieted down, knowing that they had no right to speak and were just here to listen and understand. The key still depended on the opinions of Sony Holdings and Taihe Group.
Chen Fei also became serious. Any slight mistake made by the other party would increase his chances of participating in the restructuring of the Hongqi Factory.
Mr. Chen glanced at Mr. Li from Taihe Group and said, "Mr. Li, you go first?"
"Alright!" Taihe Group's President Li smiled like Maitreya Buddha. "I know everything about the Hongqi Factory. I've understood it, but the debt is simply too high. The cost of acquiring it is beyond my imagination. Mayor Guan, with 2 billion in debt, is no joke. I wonder if the city government can reduce this debt. Then there's the issue of employees. There are too many of them. The scale of these mainland factories is truly astonishing. They manage everything from birth to death. I think this is unscientific!"
Mr. Chen from Sony Corporation nodded slightly and smiled, looking very satisfied. "Also, we also need a loan. I wonder if the municipal government can provide a guarantee. If these points can be resolved, we won't have many problems."
Mr. Li from Taihe Group continued, "Also, can the Hongqi factory's land in Qianlong City be separately listed and the land use attributes changed?"
Guan Hongyue frowned. She couldn't decide any of these issues, so she needed to hold a meeting to discuss them. The other party only raised the issues but didn't think about how to solve them. They handed all the problems to the municipal government.
Let the city government handle it!
This is deliberately making things difficult for her!
Everyone was looking at Guan Hongyue and drinking tea. After a while, they started chatting in low voices.
Damn it!
Chen Fei is now doing business, so he naturally understands what the other party means. Sony and Taihe have obviously discussed it long ago. These two companies are working together to control Guan Hongyue, and the others are just following the trend.
The other party doesn't want to be responsible for anything. They don't want to be responsible for the factory's debts, nor do they want to take care of the factory's workers. All they want is the land of the Red Flag Factory!
Use it for real estate!
They also want to use government-guaranteed loans to solve the funding problem for their acquisition of the Hongqi factory, which is simply making money out of nothing.
Who gave you face?
Guan Hongyue naturally understood what the other party meant. "We can discuss the specific issues. I have consulted with the leadership about the loan and it can be considered. The debt can also be reduced. However, I hope you two will give more consideration to the issue of workers!"
Hearing Guan Hongyue's words, Fade Chen's eyes instantly turned red. Damn, if you had said that to me, I would have agreed right now!
The conditions offered by the municipal government to the other party were really good and full of sincerity, but the other party didn’t even think about it. They would retain some of the workers, but it was impossible to retain all of them!
It was inevitable that the workers of the Hongqi Factory would be laid off, and compared with the huge number of workers in the enterprise, there must not be many people who could be used.
Guan Hongyue took a deep breath and asked, "How many workers can you retain? What about the workers' seniority? Will they be bought out? Or will they retain their seniority?"
Mr. Li smiled and said, "As for Mayor Guan's workers, we also really hope to employ more people. Currently, we estimate that once the restructuring begins, we can retain more than 4,000 workers. Furthermore, more than 4,000 workers will need to be retrained, which is a huge expense for us. We also need to introduce new equipment and machinery, and the equipment costs and maintenance require investment!"
"Besides, there is no such thing as seniority in Hong Kong, so we don't really understand it!" Mr. Li said politely.
The words were polite, but the meaning was clear: they didn't care about the workers! They were so shrewd that they were despised.
