Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 440:

Seeing Feng Yiping walk into the meeting room with a notebook in his hands, looking a little shy, and following Jin Ling, many people around the meeting table looked meaningfully a few times. I guess some guys are already thinking, for these private companies, these are really good times. The male boss is going to use the female secretary, and the female boss is also openly using the male secretary.

Senior official Guo was of course the last to arrive. When he heard from his secretary that the boss of Jiasheng was also present, he paid special attention to the young man next to Jinling.

He glanced at him once, then looked away and looked at the secretary next to him. The secretary understood what he meant and nodded affirmatively. He couldn't help but take a second look, and really was an enviably young lad.

'Everyone is in a hurry, especially the bosses sitting here, who have all come directly from the meeting venue and probably have a lot of business entertainment in the evening. Let's cut to the chase and get down to business.

As you all know, last year, due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis, our province's exports were somewhat sluggish. Therefore, the provincial party committee and the provincial government entrusted me to lead the delegation this time, hoping that I can gain a first-hand understanding of this year's foreign trade situation and hear the views of all of you veterans of foreign trade, so that the provincial party committee and the provincial government can have a clear understanding of this year's economic situation, especially the foreign trade situation. So, next, would all the bosses please speak?

At any meeting attended by officials, there is inevitably a pecking order. On the business side, the company sitting at the front is of course a very large and high-level shipping company. Its boss happened to be there and gave a speech similar to the news broadcast. In short, from the general trend of the world to the situation of the company, everything is quite good, and there is no problem completing the established export tasks.

After that came the clothing and other light industry enterprises, as well as heavy industries such as metals and metal products, and the major export enterprises in the province, as well as agricultural and sideline products enterprises, all of which said that from the exchanges with merchants from various countries over the past two days and the situation of receiving orders, the foreign trade situation was looking up.

Some bosses also mentioned a hidden worry: with the rising price of crude oil, it would increase the inflation level in some European and American countries, so in the next few quarters, the economic growth rate in Europe and America may slow down, which to a certain extent will affect foreign trade exports.

Senior official Guo, wearing reading glasses, took careful notes of everyone's opinions. 'Any more to add?' he asked, looking around the room. 'Since you all have no comments, I'll ask a question. I'm sure you're all aware that earlier this month, Japan's former prime minister was admitted to hospital after suffering a stroke, and a new prime minister has taken office. Will this have an impact on our province's exports?

Japan has been our country's number one trading partner for several years running, and is also our province's main exporter of clothing, agricultural and sideline products, and metal products. Therefore, we cannot afford to ignore political changes in Japan. What do you all think about this?'

'Judging from the order intake over the past few days, the situation looks good,' said the leaders of the relevant companies.

'With the deepening of reform and opening up, China and Japan will continue to deepen their economic and trade cooperation, and their complementary economic relationship will become even stronger. This is reflected in merchandise trade, which means that our interdependence will become even closer. Therefore, the view of our Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau is that, in the short term, changes in Japanese politics will not affect our exports.' The director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Department said.

He is a true professional, and his view was correct. It was only after Koizumi, who had visited the Yasukuni Shrine every year during his term of office, came to power that political relations between our countries cooled for a long time, but economic and trade relations remained very hot.

Feng Yiping saw Jin Ling quietly take her mobile phone under the table and asked her, 'What's wrong?'

'Boyang said he received a call from the customer and needs to visit the factory now. He asked if we want to wait for us,'

'Tell them to go ahead, it's not good to keep the customer waiting. He can do this in the future, and it's a good chance for him to practice,' Feng Yiping said.

Guo, the senior official in the main seat, looked at the two of them whispering and said with a smile, "Jing, Feng, what do you think? Let's hear it.'

'Everyone, including the leaders and the boss, is right. Although this is the first time our company has participated in an exhibition, we have received many Japanese customers. Politics seems to have had little influence, and the situation is good," Jing said.

'What about Feng? What's your opinion?' Senior official Guo pushed his reading glasses up to the tip of his nose with his right hand holding the fountain pen, and looked at Feng Yiping over the frame of the glasses.

Feng Yiping didn't want to repeat Jin Ling's argument when a senior official from a province was asking so seriously, but fortunately for him, who also worked for the magazine, this was not a problem. In the May issue, there would be an article about the change of prime minister in Japan.

'I agree with the leaders and the boss. I think that no matter who is in power in Japan, the economic situation of the two countries will be relatively optimistic in the medium to long term, and there is no problem this year.'

Feng Yiping's words were very assertive, but everyone who heard them, except Jin Ling, thought they were ridiculous. Many acquaintances exchanged helpless glances. Young people are impetuous, but nowadays, in this society, people often say shocking things just to get a reaction, which often backfires.

In the medium to long term, no matter who is in power in Japan, the economic situation in both countries is relatively optimistic. Who do you think you are? An expert from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences or a researcher at the Policy Research Office of the State Council?

Feng Yiping doesn't care about their reactions. He is mainly facing senior official Guo, and he is listening very carefully now.

'First, the economic situation in both countries is improving this year. China plans to grow by 8% this year, and the Japanese economy is also picking up, with a planned growth of 2%. A good economic situation not only provides a rich supply of goods for export, but also creates a broad market for imports.

Second, the country has raised the export tax rebate rate this year and relaxed the processing trade margin system, so companies are more willing to export than to sell domestically.

Third, since the beginning of the year, the average exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar has appreciated, increasing the purchasing power of the yen, while the export advantage of the renminbi has increased, which is a favourable factor, especially for our exports to Japan.

Fourth, we understand that a new business model has recently emerged in Japan, which integrates clothing design, production and sales, and is developing rapidly, especially in children's clothing. In order to expand new domestic demand, it will entrust Chinese enterprises with processing and production, and then import them to the Japanese market for sale, which provides many opportunities for clothing enterprises in our province.

Fifth, as the head of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Office said, our complementary economic relationship with Japan is strengthening. With the improvement of Japan's economic situation, the export share of our province's high-quality and low-priced agricultural and sideline products will definitely increase.'

When Feng Yiping first started speaking, many leaders and bosses looked at the information disapprovingly, thinking that he would probably just parrot what everyone else had said. A young man with no hair on his upper lip was probably afraid that he had never thought about these issues before and what else could he possibly say?

In particular, the opening assertion of Feng Yiping's speech made many people shake their heads in secret. However, as Feng Yiping casually cited one after the other one, two, three, four, and five points, speaking eloquently and with data and intelligence, those who had been careless sat up straight. Feng Yiping's speech was more profound than that of most of the previous executives.

The older executives had at most only talked about the surface, but the young Feng Yiping had analysed the underlying causes. The whole situation seemed to be upside down.

Moreover, like the other executives at the meeting, Feng Yiping also had no idea about the problem with Senior Official Guo, that is, the inability to prepare in advance. Could it be that this young man really had so much knowledge inside his head?

Therefore, after he had finished expressing his views, whether they were leaders or executives, everyone looked at him with a changed expression in their eyes. Just from this speech, this young man already had the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with them.

Senior official Guo was also very surprised to hear Feng Yiping's words.

First, Feng Yiping appeared very composed, humble but not nervous.

Second, his speech was as persuasive as those of the experts invited to the government to ask questions about politics. It really didn't seem like Feng Yiping's style or vision for someone of his age.

A glimpse tells the whole story, so it's no wonder that the arrogant daughter of the old Jin family would join this company.

Of course, Feng Yiping did this as a matter of course. After all, the leaders present, from Senior Official Guo down, were all heads of provincial departments closely involved in the economy. Making a good impression in front of them would be beneficial in the future.

'Good, insightful. Since everyone is optimistic about this year's foreign trade situation, I have a good feeling about it too. However, everyone still needs to work hard to turn this positive situation into concrete orders. Is that okay? After the trade fair closes, I will celebrate with you all in the province.'

After the meeting, Senior Official Guo deliberately came over and shook hands with Feng Yiping, 'Good young man, do a good job!'

After the leaders had left, the person sent by Lao Cai also entered the meeting room and brought in a large pile of information bags. Feng Yiping smiled and gave each of the executives who exchanged business cards with him a bag. 'Inside are a few issues of my younger brother's magazine, which is also about politics and economics. Please correct me, seniors.'

He would certainly not let go of such a good promotional opportunity. He had even specially asked someone from Hong Kong to deliver these magazines. As for the officials in Guo's department, they would not be able to escape when they went to the factory the day after tomorrow. They would definitely have to receive a copy each.
