"Check the details of that woman, it doesn't look like a person who just popped up." Just after Pei Xuede and the others left, Fan Wuyao ordered his men.

"We don't have information about this person, so we have to let the U.S. check it." Fan Wuyi's subordinate replied immediately.

Most influential people have information available in Fan Wu's headquarters. This is also a secret that he can get most people in the first time, research opponents, and summarize their working rules, preferences and preferences. , This is very good for negotiation.

The United States branch is very efficient in investigating. Sometimes, Fan Wubing laughed and said that they had already joined Hea, so they were so handy.

Soon, the American branch came with detailed information about the woman.

Fan Wubing picked up the fax and read it. It turned out that this was Ye Ying, who had just joined Kodak less than a year ago.

Ye Ying was born in Beijing, grew up in Taiwan, and lives in Hong Kong. He holds a bachelor's degree in international relations and English literature from National Taiwan University.

During her university studies, she was a well-known radio and television reporter in Taiwan and Japan. In the early 1970s, she became an American citizen and served successively as an official in the Political Section of the U.S. Embassy in Myanmar and the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong. In the late 1970s, she returned to the press and worked successively for the Singapore Straits Times Group and the New York National Broadcasting Corporation. In 1979, as a reporter, together with the TV host, interviewed Deng, who was visiting the United States for the first time, and became a woman who witnessed a special moment in history.

In 1982, Ye Ying joined the U.S. Department of Commerce and served successively as commercial consuls in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and as the head of the commercial group of the American Institute in Taiwan in Taipei, and then as the Commercial Counselor of the U.S. Embassy in China.

Last year, Ye Ying joined Kodak at the kind invitation of the president of Kodak, serving as the vice president of Greater China and general manager of the external affairs department. He is also one of the three core members of the Kodak project.

"This woman is very powerful. It is estimated that Pei Xuede deliberately inserted a wedge in the National University 6, trying to leverage the current lifeless Chinese film industry and clear the obstacles for Kodak's acquisition plan." Fan Wuyin finished reading the information. After that, he said to his opponents.

"The boss gave her a bit too high, isn't it?" Fan Wuyi's hands were a little skeptical.

"Don't despise any. A person, especially a woman who can easily handle between reporters, diplomats, and the top executives of multinational corporations, a woman who dared to wear any color combination on her body without first having anything wrong, a woman who dared The woman who wears short skirts and high shoes always keeps the focus on her body, even though she is a little older." Fan Wuyao waved his hand and said, "But we must also pay attention to what is in the mind of such a woman. Things are much richer than girls in their twenties, and what she needs to deal with is basically the real bosses who have become famous for their seventies and eighties. This advantage is something young girls don’t have. Have."

It is true that getting some beautiful girls to support the company's facade will seem to be more pleasing to the eye. Under normal circumstances, it can also play a positive role in promoting. But when it comes to determining the rise and fall of an industry, it is necessary to switch between the official business and the business. , The little girl is not enough to watch.

Or some people do not believe that they think that beautiful women can be eaten wherever they go, but at a certain level, what kind of beauties these people want can't get? Especially those who are getting older do not care about women’s appearance issues. For them, solving the problem is the most important thing. Therefore, in many large foreign companies, capable old women are far better than those who can only Little girls who play the role of vases are more likely to be valued.

Thinking of this, Fan Wubing couldn’t help but say a few more words, “Don’t look at people’s old age as Obasan. In fact, these people may have contributed much more to the company. You are usually at work. Don't judge people by their appearance."

One of his subordinates immediately asked for advice, "What Mr. Fan meant is not to say that once an older person comes to the company to apply for a job, he should not reject it altogether. Instead, he must first see if the other party’s abilities are used by my company, and Is there a big use? Such a talent can't be easily let go?"

Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that in the company’s previous recruitment process, the age requirements were stricter. The requirements were usually under 30 years old, and occasionally there would be special talents over 35 years old. It was also approved by the senior management to dig it out. As for the issue of older job seekers coming to apply for a job, Fan Wubing had not paid attention to it. If he thought about it, he probably rejected it directly, right?

Of course, it is not very realistic to expect talents to appear at the job fair, especially for the current Fan Investment Group, which has a complete management team and cultivated middle-level leaders, which is lacking. It's just ordinary employees who can execute the plan, so general recruitment and targeted excavation of special talents are sufficient for all kinds of jobs.

Talents with strong communicative skills like Ye Ying have gone out of the general direction of public relations, but have reached the level of senior professional managers. Of course, this is also the talent that Fan Investment Group lacks.

"Ahem -" Fan Wubing said after touching his chin, "We still have to appoint special talents, especially for senior managers who are familiar with the domestic situation and are good at interpersonal communication. It can be enlarged to fifty years old, and it won’t be interesting anymore."

When Fan Wubing mentioned this incident, he seemed to remember that a deputy minister went to the talent market to apply for a public relations position in order to experience the people’s sentiments, but the other party actually told him not to be too old, and he spoke out of his position. Only for young women.

After learning about this, everyone laughed, and some even pointed out that if the other party really had to recruit the vice minister, no matter what, even if the vice minister is impossible to work for the company, it is fine. Establishing a good personal relationship, this has played a role, but how many young and beautiful girls can not replace, the boss of the company is also a bit regretful at the end.

In the worst case, you can also take the opportunity to hype up your company and increase its reputation. It is a good thing to be able to cohesive centripetal force if you can set up the company's eclectic banner of appointing talents. Pity.

Fan Wubing When they were discussing Ye Ying here, Pei Xuede and Ye Ying were also discussing Fan Wubing over there.

"Originally, we planned well, but now such a Fan Investment Group has suddenly emerged, and the previous preparations have been disrupted." Ye Ying said to Pei Xuede with some anxiety.

On the third day of working at Kodak, Ye Ying flew from Hong Kong to Shantou as the vice president of the Greater China region and general manager of the external affairs department. As one of the three core figures of the Kodak negotiating team, she appeared in Kodak and China. Industry cooperation negotiations.

Ye Ying, who has years of experience as a diplomat, is good at communication, so negotiations are naturally handy. Before she participated, the whole process between China and Kodak was in a very anxious state. The communication with each other was very poor. Everyone did not understand what the needs of both sides were, and there was no trust.

After Ye Ying joined, he conveyed the Chinese government’s stance on encouraging Kodak’s entry into China. It also made Chinese companies understand that Kodak’s strategic investment is real and that it is really going to go on, and the whole negotiation is completed. .

The initial plan is that the Chinese government implements different policies for six domestic photosensitive companies other than Lucky. Xiamen Fuda, Shantou AD, Wuxi Almei and Kodak will have a joint venture, and Shanghai, Tianjin and Liaoyang will have three years of capital construction in the joint venture. During the period, it did not cooperate with any other foreign businessmen in joint ventures. Kodak paid US$400 million for asset transfer and economic compensation to the Chinese side for this.

In addition, on the basis of this agreement, Kodak was approved to invest 1.2 billion US dollars in China to establish a photosensitive material production base.

However, the Fan Investment Group suddenly said that it would join in, and it appeared to be a package solution, which made Kodak feel a little incomprehensible, but the conditions put forward by the Fan Investment Group were also something Kodak could not refuse.

Just like the background of Fan Wuyao that they have learned, they sensitively believe that the participation of Fan Investment Group is probably due to deep-seated reasons. Otherwise, the son of a Politburo member would not be able to manage such a large investment. Group, and got involved in such a sensitive joint venture case.

"The government officials of the Big Six in China are generally very taboo to link up with business, but Fan Heng and Fan Wuyi father and son are a special case." Ye Ying had been in Beijing for a long time, although Fan Wuyi and others did not Familiar with her, but she still knows Fan's father and son better. After all, diplomats are in a sense, in fact, the chief in charge of intelligence collection in the country.

For Fan Hyung who can be a member of the Politburo, the Americans have to conduct many and detailed investigations.

"You mean, there is a conspiracy in this?" Pei Xuede asked hesitantly.

Ye Ying said to Pei Xuede, “If it is a three-joint joint venture, many secrets will not become secrets. I am worried that some details will have an indeterminate impact on Kodak’s corporate image and make the entire process impossible to fully control.”

After hearing this, Pei Xuede nodded and frowned.

After a long time, Pei Xuede said, "Then, can you figure out the original intention of Fan Investment Jitu to participate in this joint venture case as soon as possible? I want to understand this situation and let us take some initiative."

"It's a bit difficult. After all, for the old guys, I can understand what they are thinking, but for a twenty-two-year-old hairy boy, it's elusive. I haven't even found his breakthrough." Ye Ying was a little bit. Er replied helplessly, "This is the first time I have encountered this in my decades of foreign affairs. It's really tricky!"

Fan Wubing also got the details of the Kodak acquisition from the senior management, but after reading it, he frowned. It is estimated that this kind of document would be difficult to see if he hadn't participated in it.

The purpose of government preferential treatment of Kodak is to let the market, exchange technology, and relieve the burden. However, the result of the merger is not that Kodak transfers technology to Chinese companies, but that Chinese companies are fully integrated into the Kodak system. It is not that Kodak accepts the burden of state-owned enterprises, but that state-owned enterprises Under the premise of assuming the original debts on its own, transfer its main operating assets to Kodak, the burden is still the government, such as environmental protection and other issues.

For example, in Shantou AD, Kodak only promised to purchase the production line of AD color film and took away nearly a hundred skilled workers who could speak English. On the surface, AD has retained its black and white film production line, retained about 300 employees, retained the AD brand, and retained the only Chinese film brand other than Lucky.

However, Kodak does not want the black-and-white film part of the AD, and Kodak will not pay more for the black-and-white film part of the AD at the same time, because Kodak has never produced civilian black-and-white film in the world.

What remains at the same time as the AD brand is AD's still heavy debt burden. As of this year, Shantou AD had a cumulative loss of 300 million and a debt of 4.8 billion, making it the company with the most debt among all acquired companies. Kodak promised to leave 1.8 billion to fill the hole ~ lightnovelpub.net~ but it didn't even fill half of it.

That is to say, even if the joint venture formed ***, AD still bears more than 2 billion debts, and what it gets is to maintain its place in the civilian black and white film industry. But the land in AD is not theirs, nor is the factory building, and they don't even know who they are.

In the final analysis, the practical significance of this joint venture proposal is not that Kodak acquired all Chinese photosensitive materials companies except Lucky, but that it gave Kodak the opportunity to independently exhibit in the Chinese market for three years. Kodak did not As they said, to make China's photosensitive industry go to the world, but to make China's photosensitive industry become Kodak's family.

Therefore, when Fan Wubing saw all the doubts in it clearly, his heart became even more depressed. It is hard to imagine how this matter came out? If you just want to show that an industry-wide merger and acquisition can be successful, Kodak can really make a big difference in China's film industry.

However, it should also be noted that this change is not a huge change in China's film industry itself, but a change in the life of the master of China's film industry, becoming Kodak.

It's better not to pass this kind of proposal, Fan Wubing thought after closing the file.
