Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 343 Car Dealer Conference (Second Update)
Ma Shengli nodded when he heard Li Song say this, as there is currently no relevant experience in this area in China.

Moreover, the only thing that can be said domestically right now is to offer a reminder, because the people behind Li Song know far more than those in China!

With nothing else to do, Li Song wandered around.

The home appliance R&D center has been established, but the research laboratory is under construction.

The home appliance R&D center is located next to the BMW car factory.

In addition, there is a semiconductor laboratory base next to the car factory.

The next day, Li Song returned to Hong Kong Island.

Upon returning to Hong Kong Island, Li Song went directly to Parkson Department Store.

"Old Tian, ​​I heard that the aircraft manufacturing company over there is suing us for anti-dumping!" Li Song then called Tian Jiahui over to ask.

"boss."

"It's not a big problem."

“Our contract already includes clauses to prevent such occurrences!”

"Anti-dumping determinations also require certain conditions to be met."

“The crowdfunding club has considered this more thoroughly than we have.”

“However, it’s certain that Aramco’s aircraft manufacturing company will sue us, because they may face bankruptcy.” Tian Jiahui, who was a lawyer, explained after hearing Li Song’s question.

"That's good!" Li Song nodded.

"Lin Awang from BMW's sales company sent over a proposal; he wants to hold a dealer conference!" Tian Jiahui produced a document.

Tian Jiahui is now the general manager of Yum! Brands, but he doesn't know much about business operations.

However, the sales of Parkson are all handled by separate subsidiaries, which is good news for Tian Jiahui, as he doesn't have to worry about sales matters.

Li Song looked at Lin Awang's business plan, which called for a global dealer conference.

Another thing is to provide these dealers with some demo cars so they can experience them.

"agree!"

"We can also let them visit the BMW factory."

"We need to show our distributors our strength!" Li Song said.

"Okay!" Tian Jiahui took the proposal back after hearing Li Song's words, because Lin Awang still needed to make further revisions.

"In addition, this is a business plan for investing in an instant noodle factory in mainland China!"

“I think this department can be operated as a separate subsidiary!” Tian Jiahui pulled out another business plan!

"Ok!"

“It can be spun off and established as a separate brand.” Li Song certainly knew how many types of convenience foods were involved.

Li Song had just started reading the plan when he said, "This plan is very well done!"

This plan is not just about building an instant noodle factory; it also proposes an upstream and downstream industrial chain!

The first batch of instant noodle factories invested in the country were located in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Kyoto.

The plan also mentions establishing grain processing plants in major grain-producing areas of the mainland to provide raw materials for instant noodle factories.

In addition, vegetable processing plants were established in major vegetable-producing areas.

Besides being used by ourselves, it can also be exported and supplied to other instant noodle factories.

Additionally, fruit processing plants can be established in major fruit-producing areas!

Furthermore, they also established their own logistics fleet.

The main problem is that the logistics situation in mainland China is currently quite bad.

"Has this Zhang Youlin ever lived abroad?" Li Song asked, looking at the person who devised the plan.

"Yes, I studied food science abroad!"

"Boss, as you know, the eating habits of ordinary people abroad are very different from those in China."

"In China, freshness is highly valued, so we go to the wet market every day, while abroad, a lot of food is canned now."

"The main reason is that foreign countries are sparsely populated, and people there only go to the market or shop once a week!"

"Moreover, he felt that the freeze-drying technology for vegetables applied for by the boss would produce dried vegetables with a relatively large market overseas, because vegetables are more expensive overseas," Tian Jiahui said.

Li Song nodded. The canned food culture in Europe and America is influenced by both their national conditions and the wars.

Both World War I and World War II spurred the rapid development of the canned food industry.

The army stew of a certain country is actually just canned food that the local America army discarded and then assembled at home.

Later on, Western canned goods became ubiquitous, including canned noodles, canned egg drop soup, and canned eggs, with shelf lives often reaching three to five years.

"Let's sit in the instant noodle factory first!"

"Alternatively, we could establish processing plants in oil-producing regions of Southeast Asia!"

"Domestic grain processing plants are not in a hurry for now, because the domestic grain sector is not yet open!"

"As for vegetable and fruit processing plants, let's wait a bit longer!"

"For now, let's cooperate with factories in the mainland and get them to supply us!" Li Song knew that things involving land and farmers in China should not be done for the time being.

He plans to start a vegetable or fruit business and acquire his own land. He'd rather cultivate wasteland in northern Xinjiang than lease land from others, because leasing land involves far too many problems!

It's not just the interests of local farmers and the local government.

No matter what it is, once you've mastered it, there will definitely be competitors.

Some people even wanted to pick the peaches!
"it is good!"

"Uncle Hao!" Tian Jiahui said mysteriously again, then handed over a note!
Li Song discovered that Uncle Hao wanted a lot of things this time, including not only guns and ammunition, but also grenade launchers, mortars, and various explosives!

Of course, there's also the RPG, and the man-portable air defense missile we provided last time.

Li Song picked up a lighter and burned the note!

"Tell him to wait at the coordinates in three days!" Li Song said.

Tian Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Song placed an order for these items on a second-hand platform.

Li Song is also keeping an eye on Uncle Hao's situation!
Uncle Hao collaborates with locals to collect protection money from foreign companies mining in the area!

These companies refused to pay protection money, and as a result, they were bombed.

Transportation of various construction machinery, as well as ports and mines!
Then these foreign companies put pressure on the local government, which then quelled the rebellion.

The place where Uncle Hao lived was never peaceful to begin with.

However, when the government troops arrived, they were routed by the anti-government forces.

The planes that were dispatched were also shot down, because the local government only had propeller-driven fighter planes from World War II.

The man-portable air defense missiles that Li Song provided last time, although not the best, had no problem dealing with propeller-driven fighter jets.

Moreover, the successive victories of the reactionaries spurred resistance from others in a large surrounding area.

Moreover, Uncle Hao even brought out Amei's methods.

We need a nationwide referendum!
Therefore, the West barely reports on this matter!

Because the West simply cannot refute this slogan.

Because they were the ones who shouted that slogan!

Uncle Hao's men are growing in number. Uncle Hao originally had a certain foundation in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, after all, he used to do dirty work for a certain family!
There are very few reports from Hong Kong Island, mainly due to differences in the sources of information!

"Boss, Yang Ayao has also submitted a plan, mainly targeting some changes to the contracts with distributors!" Tian Jiahui took out another document.

"The main problem is that some distributors are ordering too much at once, so we have to increase their prepayment amounts!"

"In addition, we need to formulate some exclusivity agreements, otherwise some distributors might use our resources to sell other people's goods!"

"Another reason is that some distributors want to produce some components locally that don't have such high technical barriers!"

"Yang Ayao thinks this is feasible!"

"Because some of the components don't involve any technology at all!"

"In addition, some distributors want to expand the types of goods available for barter, and some distributors want to increase the proportion of goods available for barter!" Tian Jiahui handed the documents to Li Song and then explained.

Li Song glanced at the shipment and realized that the total amount of goods requested by the distributors each time was now at least three times that of when they first started.

Therefore, some issues arise here, and the contract needs to be amended!
In the early stages, because we were supporting our distributors, the deposits we paid for each order were small.

The risk was not high back then because there weren't many goods. But now that there are more goods, the risk is too high if the deposit is too small!

Another issue is the quota!

The order quotas for motorcycles also include the quotas for goods exchanged for other goods.

For example, in Southeast Asia, you can exchange rubber, ores, and even gold, silver, and timber!

These products are produced in many parts of Southeast Asia, so each distributor receives a different quota!
As a distributor, of course I would prefer to get more quotas.

"Okay, let him discuss it with Lin Awang, and hold the two dealer conferences together!" Li Song looked at it and felt it was necessary to change it!
"In addition, I will ask the factory to prepare some promotional materials for the cars!"

"In addition, I need to talk to local dealers to learn about some things related to cars in the local market!"

"We'll offer customized services then!" Li Song knew that different countries have different cultures, and some requirements for things like car colors would also differ!
Tian Jiahui wrote all of this down!

"News has come from London that the MTU case should be decided soon!"

"It's highly likely that we'll win!" Tian Jiahui added.

These messages certainly lack written documentation.

"That's good, but they definitely won't give up easily!" Li Song knew that they wouldn't give up easily, because once their related businesses were banned, they would be finished.

"Then let's continue the lawsuit?" Tian Jiahui nodded!
"Let's wait for this verdict first. If we go to court again, let's see if we can reach a settlement, which means we can each sell our own products!"

"Of course, we shouldn't bring up mediation first; we should let them do it first." Li Song knew that this matter would most likely end in a settlement!
Because it is important to both sides.

Moreover, it is highly likely that the other party will bring it up first, because the other company has to be responsible to its shareholders and cannot sue you over diesel engines.

Because going to court means constantly spending money and constantly hiring lawyers.

Moreover, if we lose again, it will be disastrous!

Therefore, reconciliation is the only way for the other party, which means everyone can do their own thing and not interfere with each other.
