Chapter 374 There is a big project!(1/2)
Donghu Road used to belong to the French Concession and was called Dumei Road, not far from Huaihai Road.
This is also the most popular garden villa street in the political, business and entertainment circles.
Du Yuesheng, a tycoon who was once famous and famous in the Far East, had his former residence at No. 70 on this street.
There is also the Dumei Grand Theater, the first three-dimensional cinema in my country. It is said that Einstein has checked and watched movies here.
Donghu Road is charming, especially at night, when the lights are on, the green leaves in the garden villa are swaying, full of exotic, modern and retro paths, and the cultural heritage formed by more than a hundred years of history make this small street look charming and charming.
One of the garden villas is equipped with two curtains at the entrance of the street, each with a Japanese word on them.
"Dark"
"Scented"
If you don’t know Japanese, you can understand these two words.
When Wang Lin saw this sign, he knew it was here and parked his car on the side of the road.
Matsushita Yukiko had arrived and stood at the door, talking to a man and a woman.
At first she didn't pay attention to Wang Lin's car. It was not until she saw Wang Lin pushing the car door and walking out that she was slightly surprised, walked up and bent over to Wang Lin: "Hello, Mr. Wang."
Wang Lin nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Yukiko."
Sakiko said to the man and woman next to her: "Let's talk again, I have a very important date now."
The man and the woman were also Easterners, so they left after saying goodbye.
Yukiko invited Wang Lin into the Japanese restaurant and said to a waiter who came up to him: "Arranging the most advanced private rooms and set meals, I want to invite a banquet for distinguished guests."
The waiter responded respectfully, turned slightly, and led the two of them inside.
Wang Lin asked: "This is also your property?"
"Yes." Sakiko said, "We also have a catering industry."
The two came to a luxuriously decorated private room, with Japanese tatami style, with Japanese Ukiyo-e style paintings hanging on the walls.
Wang Lin doesn’t like this way of dining because after kneeling for a long time, the blood in his legs will not flow.
So, as soon as he sat down, he started talking to Sakiko and wanted to end the talks as soon as possible.
"Miss Sakiko, that's right. Our Aiqingrou sanitary napkins have bought a new high-end sanitary napkin production line that can produce wing-style sanitary napkins." Wang Lin took out a pack of wing-style sanitary napkins and a sample of disassembled sanitary napkins and placed them in front of her, "Please check it out."
Yukiko looked at it, then asked Wang Lin in confusion: "This is not the kind of sanitary napkin we ordered."
"Yes, you ordered a straight-striped sanitary napkin, which is an older style. This is a wing-shaped sanitary napkin, which can more effectively prevent side leakage."
"I know." Sakiko said, "I have used it. I used it when I was studying in China."
"Well," Wang Lin said, "I'm here to ask Miss Yukiko, do you need to change half of the sanitary napkins to this type of wing-type sanitary napkin? Of course, the price of this product will be more expensive, and the cost of each piece will be three cents."
"No need." Sashiko said, "What we are interested in is your high-quality and low-priced products. If we need this new product, we will place an order again. Mr. Wang, I have accepted your sample and I will tell my father that if he needs this product, we will contact you and place an order again."
Wang Lin came this time just for this matter. He didn't need it when he saw that the other party didn't need it, so he didn't say much.
Anyway, he will produce whatever the other party needs, and the customer will always be the first priority.
Even if the other party needs the wrong product, he can still produce countless wrong products.
Yukiko was not in a hurry to talk about the matter, but asked Wang Lin to use tea.
At a moment, two waiters in kimono came in with a plate and put the large plate and small bowls of Japanese ingredients in front of Wang Lin and Yukiko.
Wang Lin ate some casually.
Yukiko didn't eat much, and she had more than half of the set order left.
Wang Lin sat uncomfortable, changed his position and asked, "Miss Yukiko, is there anything you need to ask me?"
Sakiko said: "Mr. Wang, are you interested in investing in supermarkets with us?"
"Shopping?" Wang Lin pondered, "Where are you planning to open a supermarket?"
"There is no decision yet. We plan to invest US$40 million to build the first foreign-invested supermarket in Shanghai."
"Oh? US$40 million? At the current exchange rate of 3.751, that's 150 million yuan! Is the supermarket investment so big?"
"We want to build our own building."
"Miss Yukiko, have you consulted the relevant departments of our city? The scope of investment in foreign capital may be limited now."
"No need to ask, I know too. Our foreign capital cannot invest separately or hold all shares. We must find a state-owned enterprise to cooperate. That's why I came to Mr. Wang and ask if you want to cooperate with us?"
Wang Lin pondered: "How many shares can I occupy?"
Sakiko said: "About 40%!"
Wang Lin said: "Only two of us? Or are there other shareholders?"
Satsuko said: "Our Zhengmu Group also has investments in Xiangjiang. The investment in Xiangjiang is in cooperation with a local company in Xiangjiang. The company name is Xiangjiang Zhengmu Company. The supermarket we are about to invest in Shencheng, Toyo Zhengmu Group will invest 40%, Xiangjiang Zhengmu Company will invest 19%. If you participate, you can invest 41%, and you are the largest shareholder."
Wang Lin laughed and said, "Miss Haozi, your abacus is quite loud."
"Abacus?" Although Sakiko stayed in our country for a year, she didn't know much about our country's proverbs and common sayings. She asked in confusion, "Mr. Wang, what does this sentence mean?"
Wang Lin said: "You are very good at calculating. Our country's abacus is a calculation tool, equivalent to a Western calculator."
Sakiko smiled slightly and expressed her understanding: "Mr. Wang, why did you say that to me?"
"Xiangjiang Zhengmu Company, you have the shares. Even if you only have half of the shares, then the total shares of our newly established company, your Zhengmu Group will still have 50%. In this way, you are the largest shareholder."
Sakiko said: "You can't calculate this way. Xiangjiang Masaki Company is also an independent legal entity."
Wang Lin said: "I can't accept the proportion of your three-party shares, but you don't know how profitable your supermarket is?"
Sashiko said: "Mr. Wang, we want to build a supermarket with a business area of more than 100,000 square meters, the largest in Asia! We have a mature operating model and cooperate with many international famous brands. As long as the supermarket is opened, Mr. Wang, you only need to wait for dividends."
Wang Lin pondered: "As far as I know, there is no precedent for commercial introduction of foreign investment in our country. I am very optimistic about the large supermarket project you mentioned. However, can this project pass the review now? Can it be launched? This is still unknown."
Satsuko said: "Mr. Wang and us need to work together. If Mr. Wang determines investment, the three parties will make an appointment to sit down first, discuss and analyze the feasibility of the project, and then ask relevant departments of Shencheng City to report to see if they can apply. There are certain difficulties, but I believe that since your country has begun reform and opening up, it will sooner or later be open to foreign capital."
Wang Lin thought to himself, why don’t I know what you are talking about sooner or later?
But, when is it early?
Before 1992, did you know how difficult it was to achieve your project in Shencheng, which is not a SAR?
Moreover, if Wang Lin really wants to invest and hold 41% of the shares, he will also need to invest about 60 million yuan based on the current exchange rate!
60 million!
Wang Lin’s total wealth is now, I’m afraid there are not so many!
Is he going to spend so much money to accompany an oriental woman and play such a big supermarket project?
Wang Lin was still a little hesitant.
Sakiko is very optimistic about this project and has confidence in whether this project can be successfully launched: "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Lin said: "Miss Haozi, I am very optimistic about the supermarket project, but I don't have much confidence in whether the government can approve this project. If you are the main initiator and organization, please run first and ask about the relevant policies. If possible, I am willing to cooperate with you."
What he thought was that even if this project was successful, it would not take down one or two years from project establishment to city approval, and then from national approval. In addition, it would take three or four years to build a building. When this project is truly built and opened, it would probably take at least five or six years to take place!
Over such a long time, Wang Lin was able to accumulate enough funds through his current industry!
In the last one or two years, just 60 million may be nothing to Wang Lin?
Wang Lin didn't want to miss such a good project. He could agree to Sakiko first, so she could try her best to approve the project. Then she could approve it!
Yukiko understood that Wang Lin had agreed to her request, and was very happy and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."
Wang Lin is not used to this kind of traditional Chinese etiquette and thinks it is a special fake pattern.
He raised his watch and looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Miss Yukiko, let's talk about this? Let's get together in the future?"
"Okay, Mr. Wang." Sadko said, "I'm very happy to have dinner with Mr. Wang."
She called a waiter and took a discount card to Wang Lin: "Mr. Wang, you can invite friends here for dinner in the future, and it will be free."
"All for free?" Wang Lin couldn't help but smile, "Then you will lose money."
"We don't make money on this small restaurant." Yukiko smiled slightly.
Wang Lin was shocked!
Oriental people are really good at doing business!
How much money can a small Japanese restaurant make?
For Zhengmu Group, which invests tens of millions of dollars, this Japanese restaurant may be like their kitchen, which is specially used to treat guests.
Wang Lin took the discount card and put it in his bag.
His legs became a little numb and he stretched out for a while before he could stand up.
Sakiko seemed to know Wang Lin’s problem and smiled: “Mr. Wang, we have a Chinese restaurant. Please go and try it next time.”
Wang Lin waved his hand and smiled, "I'm just not used to the sitting posture of your country!"
"Yeah!" said Yukiko. "When I first came to study in your country, I was not used to the taste of the food here. Now I think it's much better. Whether it's Chinese food or Japanese food, I'm used to it."
