"However!" Zhao Zhenbei suddenly changed the topic, "The so-called reason proposed by the Governor of Hong Kong is very reluctant! The main reason why foreign capital cannot develop in the Soviet Union and China is not It¡¯s not because of differences in political systems and ideologies! Of course, I don¡¯t deny that these two differences have indeed had a certain impact, but this is definitely not the main reason why the situation cannot be opened!¡±
"Oh? What do you think the reason is, Third Young Master? We have always lacked sufficient understanding of the real situation in the two socialist countries, China and the Soviet Union, so limitations in analysis are inevitable! At this point, I hope Third Young Master Can you give us some suggestions!"
Zhao Zhenbei laughed and said, "Don't you, the Governor of Hong Kong, think too highly of our Zhao family? It's not like you don't know that we three brothers have lived in Hong Kong since we were children. We can count on one hand the number of times we have returned to the mainland. To be honest, , in terms of our understanding of the political and economic conditions in the mainland, we are not much better than the Governor of Hong Kong!"
"However, I do have some immature opinions on why foreign capital encounters waterloo in mainland China. I am asking the Governor of Hong Kong to see if you are interested in hearing my opinion!"
Patten can be regarded as a politician who has been in the political circle for decades. Although he has some reservations about the credibility of Zhao Zhenbei's words, he still wants to know what amazing insights this genius boy will have. Because in the merger and acquisition cases of acquiring Hong Kong Jardine Matheson Company and integrating the British and even European automobile industries, this fourteen-year-old boy gave him too many amazing surprises.
Patten believed that the third young master of the Zhao family would probably benefit a lot even if he were put into the political circle, because Hong Kong Star Group's series of mergers and acquisitions in the UK and even Europe, if he were to handle it himself, he might not be able to handle it better than he is now. This third young master of the Zhao family is a good friend.
"Oh? What unique insights does the third young master have on this issue? With the third young master's outstanding performance in business, I believe you must have insights that us politicians cannot!"
Zhao Zhenbei smiled and poured dry red for Patten. After making a gesture of invitation to Patten, he began to respond to Patten's concerns in an orderly manner.
"I believe that the Governor of Hong Kong has also heard about the setbacks in the investments of Volkswagen of Germany and General Motors of the United States in China a year or two ago. What do you think of this matter?"
Patten picked up the wine glass and began to think while tasting the precious Bordeaux dry red. After a long time, he answered: "Germany's Volkswagen and the United States' General Motors are both world-renowned automobile manufacturers, and General Motors even has Our Rothschild family owns a lot of shares, so I am quite concerned about this matter. In my opinion, the biggest reason for the failure of these two companies is because they did not pay attention to the variability of the Chinese government¡¯s economic policies. !¡±
¡°No matter which country or region you set up a business, the most critical condition is the attitude and policies of the local government. Although the Chinese mainland government has begun to try to carry out drastic changes in politics and economy, they lack economic support. We have accumulated enough experience, so we are not yet able to formulate complete economic reform measures and policies!¡±
"It is precisely because of the existence of such factors that the government's decrees on economic construction often change. Whether it is Volkswagen of Germany or General Motors of the United States, they obviously made a mistake in choosing the time to enter the mainland Chinese market and did not take the decrees into consideration. Due to instability, encountering Waterloo is inevitable!¡±
Zhao Zhenbei secretly laughed at Patten. Although he had direct lineage from the Rothschild family, it was a pity that he did not inherit the excellent business acumen of the Jewish people. I wonder if he had lived in the UK for too long and was tainted with John Bull's kind. All self-righteous thinking habits start from oneself.
What is the most important thing about doing business? It's integrity! Don¡¯t the Chinese, who have a civilization of five thousand years, know this? The policy change is to further improve its own economic system and further standardize the market economy, so as to prevent foreign capital from taking advantage of various policy loopholes to seek unfair interests.
If those foreign investors did not come to China to invest with the mentality of taking advantage, would the Chinese government drive these Gods of Wealth out of the country? Business transactions must first be established on the basis of equal transactions, so that it is possible to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship between the two parties.
The Chinese government is not stupid. Although it may lack experience in economic construction, it can still be detected whether a foreign investor invests with the mentality of taking advantage and exploits loopholes in policies and laws to make profits.
Whether it is Volkswagen of Germany or General Motors of the United States, when they first decided to establish an automobile production base in Shanghai, China, they only came up with some outdated core technologies and wanted to rely on these outdated core technologies to convince the local government. Opening your mouth and asking for various preferential business conditions is clearly treating someone as a traitor, and it is natural to be expelled.
Patten obviously does not understand the real reason why Volkswagen of Germany and General Motors of the United States were expelled by the Chinese government. The Chinese government did not make any further statement on this matter. As the expelled party, Volkswagen of Germany and General Motors of the United States Naturally, it is impossible for General Motors to reveal its ugliness.
Therefore, Patten concluded based on his usual thinking that the reason for the failure of the cooperation was simply the instability of the Chinese government's decrees. As investors, Volkswagen of Germany and General Motors of the United States naturally could not allow their investments to suffer losses, and divestment would not be possible. It became inevitable.
"Does the Governor of Hong Kong really think so? Then I can tell you that after integrating the automotive industry structure in Europe and the United States, Hong Kong Star Motors, under the name of Hong Kong Star Group, will start investing in and building three automobiles in mainland China in 1988. At the five automobile production bases, the mainland government has contacted us about this investment intention, and the two parties have even signed a preliminary cooperation agreement! I wonder what the Governor of Hong Kong thinks of this matter?"
Zhao Zhenbei had a faint smile on his face. Once the automobile industry ambition he designed was completed, it would only be a matter of time before he caught up with the world's first-class automobile manufacturers. That was a group that spanned the Americas, Europe and Asia. Once the huge automobile production and sales system reaches its due production capacity, the profits it will bring will be astronomical.
"And I can also explain to the Governor of Hong Kong the share composition of Hong Kong Star Auto Group. In the future investment of up to 50 billion US dollars in improving the industrial system, the British Thomson family and Morrison family will invest 10 billion and 10 billion respectively. Five billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 30% of the total shares! Your Excellency, the Governor of Hong Kong, please think carefully about why the Chinese government welcomes our Hong Kong Star Motors¡¯ investment plan in the mainland this time?¡±
"I think it's because the owners of Hong Kong Star Group, your Zhao family, are Chinese, right? Having the same bloodline is your biggest advantage over German Volkswagen and American GM! But Third Young Master, you are not worried about China Will the government change its economic policies? What is the reason why you have so much confidence in the Chinese government?"
Patten also realized that his previous conclusion was a bit too one-sided, so he lowered his attitude. However, he soon realized that in front of the third young master in front of him, he, as the governor of Hong Kong, did not He is not qualified to maintain a high profile. Even if he is a direct descendant of the Rothschild family, he may not be able to give himself a reason to be proud.
The Rothschild family's economic appraisers evaluated the real assets of Hong Kong Star Group at the end of 1987, and concluded that the assets on the surface reached US$400 billion. What has not surfaced is that the assets controlled by the three Zhao brothers in Hong Kong are estimated to reach a terrifying US$500 billion.
In other words, the third young master of the Zhao family in front of him has a personal net worth of more than 150 billion U.S. dollars. In the world, except for his two brothers, no one has more personal assets than him. To put it in this way, the three Zhao brothers have actually occupied the top three positions on the world's richest list.
The assets owned by the Rothschild family have reached five trillion U.S. dollars, but the entire direct Rothschild family has tens of thousands of people. Although less than half of them hold family shares, it can be divided evenly. There is absolutely no private asset exceeding 50 billion U.S. dollars, not to mention that one-third of the 5 trillion U.S. dollars in assets is held by branches of the Rothschild family!
Very satisfied with the change in Patten's attitude, Zhao Zhenbei was in a good mood and stopped thinking about the left and right, and began to solve the doubts of the Hong Kong Governor in front of him.
"In fact, the real reason why German Volkswagen and American General Motors failed to invest in China was not caused by changes in the Chinese government's decrees, but because they did not position themselves correctly! They are just investors. They are investing in building factories. It¡¯s time to put both parties on an equal footing. As both parties to the transaction, if you want to reach a cooperative relationship, you must adhere to the principle of fair transactions!¡±
"On this point, Volkswagen of Germany and General Motors of the United States have done very poorly! They brought out some outdated automobile manufacturing technologies and production lines and wanted to use the Chinese market as a dumping market for second-rate cars. They obviously underestimated the Chinese government. Economic vision and analytical skills!¡±
"The most important thing is that Volkswagen of Germany and General Motors of the United States did not take into account China's concerns and actually wanted to have absolute control of equity. This is very contradictory to China's political and economic system! In terms of current economic construction reforms, China They are still in the learning stage, so how can they allow companies that are absolutely controlled by foreign capital that are not under their control to emerge?"
