Because he knew that the other party had a civil servant’s CV, Li Yalin was certain that he knew French, and there must be no problem in communication.
The employee led him to the door and spoke in the local language, the boss inside then directly waved at the two through the glass.
The employee pushed the door in and informed the boss that Li Yalin wanted to see him, Li Yalin didn’t mope around and directly asked him in French: “You’re the owner here? I want to acquire your factory.”
As soon as the owner heard this, his entire body lit up.
He knew that Asians were rich, especially Asian businessmen who came out to do business in Asia were generally richer, he had long wanted to sell this factory, but no one had asked for it for a few years, now that there was an Asian businessman who took the initiative to come to his door, the dream of cashing out and enjoying his retirement life immediately flared up inside him, so he hurriedly stood up and said to Li Yalin, “Welcome, welcome! Please sit down, please sit down!”
With that, he hurriedly dismissed his employees and took the initiative to take out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Li Yalin, saying with a smile, “We are having ideas for sale here, as long as the price is given right, everything here is for sale.”
Li Yalin didn’t want to act too eager to buy, instead he smiled and said, “The people of our country have recently started to popularise canned sardines, so I’ve had the idea to get a factory in Morocco, and when the time comes, the canned sardines that are produced will be exported directly point to point to our country, and I’ve inspected quite a lot of factories along the way, so please roughly give me an overview of you guys, first.And your advantages.”
That boss hurriedly said, “We have a total of five production lines here, four of which are used to produce canned sardines, and the other is used to produce other seafood foods, with an annual output of roughly four thousand tonnes.”
Li Yalin frowned straight away as he listened and sighed, “Five production lines, only producing four thousand tonnes a year, as far as I know, the large Moroccan canning companies all start at one or two hundred tonnes a day.”
That boss hurriedly said, “I’m here mainly or production line is relatively old, so the production efficiency is relatively low, but we have a large place, if you are willing to invest to do the upgrading and transformation, we are here fully equipped to become a large-scale enterprise of the bottom.”
Saying that, he hurriedly introduced, “The cost of our workers around here is very low, most of our workers’ monthly salary is within two thousand dirhams, not more than two hundred US dollars, and they work hard and do whatever they need to do, I have three hundred workers here right now, and if you have a need in the future, you can always recruit five hundred skilled workers from the nearby towns.”
Li Yalin smiled, “All businesses have room for upgrading, but everything is nothing but a matter of cost, let’s do it this way, you quote me a price and I’ll think about it.”
The man pondered over it and spoke, “Five million dirhams, or half a million US dollars.”
Although this factory still has a profit of thirty thousand US dollars per year, but the profit has already started to decline continuously, and the boss knows very well in his heart that he can only hold on for another ten years at the most, and in the next ten years combined, he can have a profit of two hundred thousand US dollars even if it’s good.
As for their own factories, the equipment has been very old, even in countries like Morocco has been out of the cycle, belonging to the state of strong support, really sell out, it is estimated to be more expensive than scrap iron so a little.
And plant because of the old reason, the price is also difficult to go up, after all, against the remote edge of the town, even the land is not very valuable.
So, not to mention 500,000 US dollars, even if it was 300,000 US dollars, he wouldn’t hesitate to sell it.
