Within a few words, the two sides negotiated a long-term cooperation, and Frolov's face became bright again, and his words were full of the title of "Davarich". Zhang Jianyang and Han Weichang on Tang Zifeng's side were also very happy, and the busyness of the previous few days was finally not in vain.

"Old Ferdin. Tang Zifeng shouted affectionately, regardless of how Avakiyan would translate the title. He said to himself: "We have a traditional friendship between China and Russia. When we were in difficulty, you helped us, especially your father was also one of the experts in aiding China, and we Chinese people will not forget the deep friendship of the Russian people.

"Now Russia is experiencing some temporary difficulties. I am confident that under Mr. Putin's leadership, Russia will be able to get out of the predicament and regain its glory. In this process, we Chinese people are willing to provide all the help we can to our Russian friends. ”

Avakiyan translated these words to Frolov, who nodded desperately to Tang Zifeng while listening, looking very moved. Zhang Jianyang and Han Weichang watched this scene from the side, snickering. They know very well that these two people are not good at stubble, and their words are highly exaggerated even if they are discounted in half.

"I am very touched by the friendship that your group has shown us. I would also like to be able to form a long-term and close relationship with your group. I would like to know what other proposals Mr. Tang has for our cooperation, in addition to helping your group sell machine tools in Europe?"

Tang Zifeng waved his hand and said, "Wrong, wrong, Mr. Frolov, you are mistaken." The topic we just talked about is not to ask you to help us sell machine tools in Linji Group, but to cooperate with us in the production and sales of machine tools. After all, Petrov Machine Tool Factory is an old enterprise with a history of nearly 100 years, how can it be just a seller?"

"Co-production? I don't quite understand. Frolov was a little confused.

Tang Zifeng said: "My consideration is that you have a sales system in Europe and can open up the European market. However, due to some objective reasons, you are currently unable to provide the machine tools required by your customers. Therefore, in the early stage, we can provide the whole machine tool and you will sell it.

"At the same time, I hope that we will be able to establish a joint venture in Russia, where we will provide the capital and technology, and you will provide the production site and workers to jointly produce CNC machines for the European market. If you can play a greater role in production, then your share of the final sales revenue will also increase accordingly, which will be of great benefit to Petrov Machine Tool Factory to get out of the current predicament. ”

"Joint venture?" a strange light flashed in Frolov's eyes, "Mr. Tang, I very much welcome this plan. However, before that, I would like to ask, how will the equity of this joint venture be distributed?"

Sure enough, it's an old Jianghu!

Tang Zifeng said with emotion. If someone else hears that he wants to invest in them, I'm afraid he can't be happy, how can he be like Frolov, who suddenly grasps the key issue.

However, Tang Zifeng didn't care about Frolov's acumen, it was better to find a collaborator with brains than to find a collaborator who was muddy, eating and waiting for death. He smiled and said: "If Mr. Frolov does not object, we want to have a controlling stake in the joint venture, we have 60%, and the Petrov Machine Tool Plant 40%, do you think it is okay?"

"This ......" Frolov fell into deep thought.

Tang Zifeng's proposal, of course, will not be a whim, but has been carefully considered. In contrast, before today's talks, Frolov was still thinking about how to fool the plane, and did not consider the issue of in-depth cooperation with the plane at all, and he was inevitably a little caught off guard when he heard Tang Zifeng's words at first glance.

Tang Zifeng proposed a controlling stake, and Frolov believed that this was the bottom line of the Chinese side and could not be changed through negotiations. As for whether the Chinese side holds 60% or 51% of the shares, it doesn't really matter, the cake is bigger, and the difference of a few percentage points is really not worth mentioning.

"I need to discuss this with the workers in the factory. Frolov replied.

"Absolutely. Tang Zifeng said very considerately, "Of course, Mr. Frolov cannot have the final say on such a big matter, and it is necessary to go back and discuss it with the workers." However, I would like to ask Mr. Frolov to make one point clear to the staff of your factory, and that is that we have a lot of options. In the former Soviet Union, we had business dealings with many machine tool companies in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and it is not difficult to restore this friendship now.

"We chose Petrov Machine Tool Factory because we liked your personal charm, Mr. Frolov. To be honest, your eloquence and adaptability are admired by all the leaders of our group. ”

Frolov's old face turned a rare red. Of course, he could hear that Tang Zifeng was not praising him when he said this, at least not completely. Tang Zifeng meant that Frolov was good at lying and deceived all the leaders of the Linji Group.

Of course, he also heard another meaning from Tang Zifeng's words, that is, the other party didn't mind his ability to cheat, and even appreciated it a little. A good liar, if he is a negotiation opponent, is of course very annoying. But if as a partner, it's a different story, and everyone works together to deceive mutual customers, how happy?

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for the compliment. Frolov accepted Tang Zifeng's evaluation and said calmly: "Personally, I am also very willing to cooperate with entrepreneurs like Mr. Tang." Mr. Tang is the most witty Chinese entrepreneur I have ever met, and it must have been a pleasure to work with him. ”

"Alright, let's settle it first. ”

"Happy working together!"

The two sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, which can be regarded as turning enemies into friends. Zhang Jianyang instructed the group office to arrange a banquet and entertain Frolov and his party again. At the banquet, Zhang Jianyang cleverly upgraded the second pot head to Wuliangye, but Frolov blackened his face after taking a sip, blaming the Chinese friends for not being interesting enough, everyone is already a partner, and he didn't give the second pot head yet......

The sale of three heavy-duty grinding machines to Czech merchants through the Petrov Machine Tool Factory was handed over to the specific handling personnel to discuss, and Tang Zifeng did not need to care about the details anymore. The establishment of a joint venture between the two sides will not be decided until Frolov needs to go back to negotiate with the workers, and this is not something that can be done in a hurry.

After arranging the work on the plane, Tang Zifeng hurriedly left Linhe and returned to the capital to meet Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Heng.

"Investing in Russia?"

After listening to Tang Zifeng's report, Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Heng were both a little surprised.

"That's right, it is necessary to mobilize domestic enterprises, especially large state-owned enterprises, to seize the time to invest in Russia, and now is the best time to invest in Russia. Tang Zifeng said seriously.

Xie Tiancheng hesitated: "The situation in Russia is more complicated, and some think tanks have put forward suggestions not to invest in Russia for the time being, because they believe that the risk of investing in Russia is still relatively large, and the benefits are not obvious." ”

Tang Zifeng said: "I am afraid that the viewpoints of these institutions are a bit outdated, right? During the period when the Soviet Union had just collapsed, the situation in Russia was indeed very bad, the policies of the upper echelons were changeable, the grassroots political power was completely out of control, and investing in Russia was simply throwing money into the water. ”

"What now?" Zhou Heng asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "Since Mr. Pu took over the reins and drastically rectified internal affairs and put forward the slogan of revitalizing Russia, the situation in Russia is very different from the past. From what I learned from Frolov, the Government of the Russian Federation is still very determined to rebuild Russia's industrial system, and this is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of it. ”

Xie Tiancheng said with a smile: "Xiao Tang, can't you use a better idiom? What does it mean to take advantage of the situation, why don't you say that it is robbing while the fire is hot?"

"The opportunity to rob while the fire is in the past has passed. Tang Zifeng said, "During the period just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, and several European countries did take advantage of Russia to rob Russia, and many enterprises were bought by them cheaply. And now, Mr. Pu is a very strong person and will definitely not tolerate other countries doing anything to Russia.

"The main difficulty that Mr. Pu faced in rebuilding Russia's industrial system was that the original production system had fallen apart due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and many companies that cooperated with each other belonged to different countries and could no longer cooperate as before. And with Russia's current capabilities, it is difficult to make up for these shortcomings.

"Our country has a complete industrial system, and now it is entering Russia and helping Russia integrate the industrial chain, and Russia will definitely welcome it. Enterprises like Petrov Machine Tool Plant, which have a good foundation, but lack support, and a serious lack of funds, it is almost impossible to restore production on their own.

"In this case, we offered a joint venture with the Petrov Machine [biquge.xyz] Bed Plant, financed by us, but asked for a controlling stake, and they could not have accepted it. This kind of cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and the Russian government will certainly vigorously support it. ”

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Listening to you say this, there is some truth. After Mr. Pu came to power, the appearance of Russia was indeed very different, and I heard some veteran comrades say that it is also possible to expect Russia to regain the glory of the former Soviet Union from now on. ”

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "Russia wants to rejuvenate, which we strongly support." But if you want to restore the glory of the former Soviet Union, then forget it, I think this Russia is very good now......"

Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Heng both heard the subtext in Tang Zifeng's words, and couldn't help but look at each other:

This young man really knows how to be proportionate.
