1987: Sleepless Tonight

After hearing this, Hannah and Emily communicated in English again.

Obviously they are discussing whether they should sign the contract first.

After a while, Hannah said, "Emily agrees to sign a contract with you, but you have to read the content of the contract before making a decision, whether you want to continue to cooperate."

"Naturally." Lu Hao nodded, "I will draw up the contract as soon as possible, and then contact the two of you. We will sign the contract after we reach an agreement on the content of the contract. After the contract is signed, I will explain the specific cooperation in the future. .”

He looked at Hannah, "You speak Chinese very fluently, you are a very good translator, and your understanding of business is more acute than ordinary people."

He deliberately got close to Hannah, wanting to find out more about her.

"My family is in business. My parents have been here for a long time, and I am also interested in doing business." Hannah said.

"You are excellent, and your parents must also be excellent. The business must be very big, and the position you hold in the company is also very important." Lu Hao seemed to be chatting, and continued to repeat Hannah's words.

Foreigners in the country are mainly foreign students, corporate employees and people who come to travel, and Jiangcheng also has relevant agencies responsible for receiving these foreigners.

The International Activities Steering Committee, the Foreign Affairs Office, the Communication Office, etc., are all institutions responsible for receiving and handling related matters with foreigners. After the 80s, the Foreign Affairs Office was established.

But most of the foreigners gather in the economic center, the political center city, or the relatively developed and convenient coastal cities.

Jiangcheng is not small, but it is an inland city after all, and there are actually very few foreigners.

That is to say, after the foreigners were liberalized in recent years, the number of people has slowly increased, but they are mainly foreign students, followed by foreign businessmen who plan to invest in Jiangcheng.

Like Hanna, there are very few foreigners who have lived in the country for a long time.

It can be said that they are rare.

Without Emily's relationship, it would be very difficult for Lu Hao to get in touch with Hannah.

Some people may only have one chance to meet in their lifetime, and after that, even if they live in a city, the probability of meeting again is almost zero.

"There is a branch of the International Trade Promotion Committee in Jiangcheng. My father is a member of it, and he is also a consultant for many companies entering and exiting, as well as Sino-foreign joint ventures." Hannah said.

The Jiangcheng International Trade Promotion Committee Sub-Council, referred to as the Jiangcheng Trade Promotion Sub-Council, has not been established for a long time. It was only established in 1984, but it is very dynamic. It is a representative person, enterprise, association and A non-governmental foreign economic and trade organization composed of groups.

As for consultants, they have existed since ancient times. They have many years of experience in the industry and are good at answering questions. Such people can provide consulting services to people who don't know the situation.

There are two common types of advisors, one is a military advisor and the other is an economic advisor.

Hannah's father apparently served as an economic consultant in some Sino-foreign joint ventures.

There are many import and export companies in Jiangcheng, and at the same time, there are also many Sino-foreign joint ventures. To do business with foreigners, there must be someone who understands foreigners, and it is best for this person to be the foreigners themselves.

You must be capable in business, you must have connections abroad, and you must have no language barriers, so that you can act as a consultant.

"Do you have a business card? Leave a business card. The contract has been drawn up. I will call you. You can speak Chinese. It will be more convenient for us to communicate. I will contact you directly, and you will contact Emily. " Lu Hao said.

Knowing that Hannah's father is a member of the City Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and also serves as a consultant for many Sino-foreign joint ventures and import and export companies, Lu Hao's mouth is watering.

What makes the most money?

real estate?oil?jewelry?

neither!

Monopoly is the most profitable!

Jewelry itself is worthless, and its value is obtained through monopoly, and then slowly shipping, creating an illusion that rare things are more expensive, and then raising prices through publicity, giving jewelry a special meaning, and then making money.

The premise is monopoly!

The same is true for real estate. Land is monopolized by the state and is scarce, and only then can money be made.

Although it is liberalized at the moment, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain foreign products, and most of the public import and export companies are eligible to obtain imported products.

But now, there is a way in front of him. If Hannah's relationship is used properly, he may be able to get imported products. For department stores, this is no less than a shotgun change!

When the time comes to put the imported goods in the store, even the Jiangcheng shopping mall will have to stand aside!

He went straight to Hannah for a business card.

"Yes." Hannah did have a business card.

She took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao picked it up and looked at it: Jiangcheng Foreign Electronic Repair Service Center, consultant.

"Do you still know about electronic maintenance?" Lu Hao asked.

The business card has the phone number of Jiangcheng Foreign Electronics Repair Service Center, but it also has Hannah's personal phone number.

According to Lu Hao, this company is the first Sino-foreign joint venture that Jiangcheng signed with a foreign businessman, and it was finally changed into a Sino-foreign joint venture.

Partnerships are different from joint ventures.

A joint venture is an equity joint venture. The two parties jointly invest and operate together, and share risks and share profits and losses according to their respective investment ratios. A joint venture is a contractual joint venture. The Chinese and foreign parties do not use the investment amount, equity, etc. as the basis for profit distribution. , but through the signing of a contract to specifically determine the rights and obligations of each party.

This year, Jiangcheng has dozens of joint ventures with foreign companies, and the business scope involved includes electronics, machinery, food, light industry, tourism, and service industries, and service projects account for more of them.

This is also normal. Service-oriented enterprises have a relatively low threshold. Coupled with the liberalization of the economy, the most direct manifestation is the liberalization of the service industry, which is more active and naturally more favored by foreign investors.

In terms of security, other industries are more cautious about foreign investment, while the service industry is relatively light on this aspect, and the restrictions on foreign investment will be even smaller.

"I'm just listing a position as a consultant. The actual maintenance is done by other people, or I call foreign maintenance personnel, and they guide the maintenance or propose solutions. At the same time, I can also act as a translator." Hannah explained.

Lu Hao nodded.

What Hannah said is true. Many imported electrical appliances are not easy to repair. Technology is one aspect, and accessories are also another aspect. It is indeed necessary to communicate with the original manufacturer. Hannah is a good candidate.

It is also not necessary for her to understand electronic maintenance technology, as long as she is responsible for communication.

It is good for foreigners to chant scriptures when they come to China.
