Ingmar Spotnow felt like he was going crazy, but at the same time, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.

It's not that I think the Netherlands has done anything wrong, Ingmar Spotno just thinks that the fate of a small country is really miserable, although the per capita income ranks among the top ten in the world, but this does not change the fate of the Netherlands only worthy of becoming a strategic pawn of a big country.

"Alright," Ingmar Spotnow took a deep breath, "I'll tell you what you mean to Your Majesty." ”

"Speaking of which," Chen Geng pursed his lips, and then said: "Mr. Chief, I really can't understand how your government can bear a long-term loss of more than $800 million or even more than $2 billion in the future for the sake of $500 million?

From an investment point of view, after realizing the huge losses caused by the previous wrong practices, the most important measure for your government is not to take a stop-loss measure immediately, quickly, immediately?"

“......”

What can Ingmar Spotno say? Yes, the total amount of the submarine ordered by 4V from the Netherlands is 500 million US dollars, of which 170 million US dollars has been paid in advance, but now the contractor of the submarine, RSV Group, is in deep economic crisis, and the construction of the submarine has come to a standstill, and even within the Netherlands, there are considerable doubts about whether this contract can be successfully completed.

Since 1981, when diplomatic relations between China and the Netherlands came to a complete standstill, the Netherlands has lost more than $860 million, and as China's economy continues to grow, if this stalemate continues, the Netherlands' losses will ...... Thinking of this, Ingmar Spotno felt that his liver was hurting, but he was still speechless, in this matter, the Netherlands is indeed short-sighted.

With a wry smile, Ingmar Spotno said, "What can I say? I am only the head of the royal family, a loyal servant of His Majesty. ”

Chen Geng shook his head and said that he did not agree with Ingmar Steno's statement: "Mr. Chief, it is precisely because you are Her Majesty's most loyal servant that you should actively find ways to help Her Majesty change the status quo...... As you know, as early as 1979, when Her Majesty was still the crown prince, she had already visited China, and at that time Her Majesty was even called the 'red princess' by the Western media. ”

A grossly ridiculous thought arose from Ingmar Spotnow's mind: Fernandez...... He wouldn't have been entrusted by the Chinese government to persuade the Dutch government to abandon the deal with 4V, right?

As soon as this thought popped up, he couldn't hold it anymore, and Ingmar Spotnow's brain was hot, and he asked tentatively, "What if...... I mean, if, if relations between the Netherlands and China were normal, would you consider putting the factory in the Netherlands?"

"Of course, why not," Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "Don't forget, I am still a partner with Fokker Aircraft, and I have also established a cooperative relationship with the Royal Philips Group." ”

The original course of history, on February 1 next year, with the Dutch government promising not to sell weapons to 4V again, and the two submarines that have signed the agreement have also been significantly modified, including but not limited to:

The sale of incidental weapons required in the original contract was suspended;

The launch and command systems were downgraded to low-grade old-fashioned products;

The training of personnel required by the original contract was downgraded to include only the training of driving, operation and maintenance personnel, and did not include the training of combat command personnel;

The project for the construction of submarine maintenance and technical support facilities in 4V was canceled...... So that the whole incident came to an end, and China and the Netherlands finally resumed diplomatic relations and economic and trade exchanges at the ambassadorial level.

Speaking of which, in fact, there is another very interesting thing, that is, the torpedo system of the Dutch Walrus-class submarine can only hit West German torpedoes, and West Germany, a semi-colony of the Americans, refused to export torpedoes to 4V after seeing the hardline attitude of the Chinese government in this matter.

There is a fart for having a boat without mines, is it possible to raise such an expensive thing, just to collide directly with the submarine and warship on the mainland side after discovering it, and die with the other party?

Counting these two submarines that have not yet arrived in Hong Kong, the entire 4V is only 4 submarines, of which the existing two Sea Lion class are still designed and produced by the United States in the 40s, which can only hit direct torpedoes, 4V bought the Walrus-class submarine in the Netherlands, it is to fancy the Sut heavy wire-guided torpedo system on the Walrus-class submarine, but West Germany refuses to sell, what should I do?

Looking around, I really found an opportunity for 4V: Indonesia was authorized by West Germany to produce SUT heavy wire-guided torpedoes in the form of a license.

West Germany doesn't sell it, I can go to Indonesia to buy it.

The idea is beautiful, but we can think about what the high-precision torpedo produced by Indonesia's industrial base looks like, and the fact is indeed "living up to expectations", in the previous military exercises of 4V anti-nausea, Indonesia purchased Indonesian-made SUT heavy wire-guided torpedoes all said "Ye is very hi, I want to let go of myself", so I let myself go Every exercise, these Indonesian-made torpedoes will be disconnected, never exception, has become a compulsory subject in every 4V exercise.

As for Indonesia, it was not much better, and after learning that 4V had obtained SUT heavy wire-guided torpedoes from Indonesia, we immediately put pressure on West Germany, and West Germany immediately revoked Indonesia's license on the grounds that Indonesia had illegally sold torpedoes to 4V.

In the more than 30 years since then, the 4V Navy has never obtained torpedoes through any means, and it is not known how the 4V extended the life of these torpedoes.

It's a bit far......

Hearing Chen Geng's words, Ingmar Steno's eyebrows instantly raised: "Mr. Fernandez, are you sure?"

“......”

Chen Geng didn't answer immediately, but first looked deeply at Ingmar Spotno.

Ingmar Spotno was uncomfortable when Chen Geng looked at him, especially Chen Geng's gaze, which was like looking at a big fool.

"If our products perform well in the Dutch and European markets, of course we will promote the localization strategy, but the specific country to build a factory in depends on the investment environment, and the other depends on the conditions for attracting investment in each country...... Mr. Spotnow, do you think that's true?"

Ingmar Spotnow immediately understood what Chen Geng meant: As long as AMC's European strategy is smoothly promoted, in order to reduce costs, it is certain to implement local production in Europe, but where will this factory be placed at that time, or to put it more bluntly, will it be placed in the Netherlands? Let's see what kind of preferential conditions you can give in the Netherlands.

You Netherlands have a large number of unemployed people under the impact of the economic crisis, don't the rest of Europe have any? Don't the rest of Europe need to deal with the huge number of unemployed?

This is not the answer that Ingmar Spotno wants most, he wishes that Chen Geng would immediately promise to build a factory in the Netherlands, but Chen Geng's answer still made Ingmar Spotnow's heart breathe a sigh of relief: The Netherlands still has a chance.

That's good.

........................

Because he had clearly stated his attitude before, Chen Geng originally thought that the next meeting with Queen Beatrix was just a formality, but to Chen Geng's surprise, Queen Beatrix actually chatted with Chen Geng about Huaxia again.

The queen, who is only 45 years old this year, is very well maintained, her skin is bright and delicate, she does not look like a middle-aged woman in her forties, but like a graceful and luxurious young woman in her thirties, she asked Chen Geng with great interest: "Mr. Fernandez, I noticed that you have invested a lot of money in Huaxia, not only invested in many factories in Huaxia, but even participated in the construction of infrastructure in Huaxia, are you so optimistic about the future of Huaxia?"

Chen Geng nodded: "Yes." ”

"Can you tell me why?" Queen Beatrix's eyes were full of curiosity: "I've been to Huaxia, so with all due respect, I know very well what Huaxia is like now." ”

Chen Geng laughed: "Your Majesty, although it is very rude to say this, I have to say that your information is outdated. ”

"Oh?"

Queen Beatrix tweaked her eyebrows, annoyed, but seemed a little unimpressed.

"I know that you went to China in 1979 for a visit, and that was four years ago, normally for a country, four years will not change much......

Queen Beatrix was noncommittal, but it was clear that she did think so in her heart.

"Let me give you a number, you will understand, when you visited China in 1979, China's GDP was more than 178 billion US dollars, last year, China's GDP increased to more than 210 billion US dollars, and according to the analysis of China's economic department, China's GDP this year is expected to reach and exceed 245 billion US dollars, in just four years, China's GDP increased by more than 40%...... Your Majesty, you should be well aware of what this means. ”

“......”

Queen Beatrix didn't speak, but she subconsciously looked at Ingmar Spotno on the side, obviously extremely distrustful of Chen Geng's words, in just four years, a country's GDP can increase by more than 40%, isn't it a joke?!

Ingmar Spotnow hurriedly rummaged through the documents at hand, but unfortunately, this era is not the Internet era after all, and it is impossible to find the answer he wants by casually tapping twice on the tablet, Ingmar Stenow, who had prepared in advance, did not find the information the queen wanted, and he shook his head at Queen Beatrix with a look of shame, saying that he did not find the answer she wanted.

Queen Beatrix frowned, but then she relaxed: This kind of information is not difficult to check, it is very easy to verify, it is impossible for Fernandez Chen to lie about this kind of thing, but if this is true, then Huaxia's development potential is really terrifying.
