When he was in Hong Kong, Zhao Xin had actually been observing, but the more he observed, the more he wondered. The Hong Kong company that was a joint venture with the Soviet Union was soon established, but the few Hong Kong employees recruited were all errands, and it seemed that they were the only ones who did the work.

What kind of joke is this? That's an automobile factory! An automobile factory that is ready to invest hundreds of millions of dollars! It seems that the boss who invested the money cares at all, and he is the only one who is busy with it? If it weren't for the fact that Delta Power also has a stake in it, Zhao Xin might have thought that this was a leather bag company run by a swindler.

After finishing the work in Hong Kong in a daze, Zhao Xin went to the capital with Jensen. This time it was even more bizarre, and I met a younger Mr. Jing named "Bramble" in English. Well, let's meet! For the sake of those dollars. But before he finished his report, he almost got into a fight with those big courtyard disciples? Zhao Xin almost took a mouthful of old blood, what kind of thing is this playing?

I thought that after the report was suddenly suspended, Mr. Jing should always arrange another time. However, the follow-up development was unexpected again, and it was completely beyond Zhao Xin's imagination.

Jensen went back to Jinhai, and Zhao Xin stayed alone in the hotel in the capital, and waited like this for several days, when Mr. Ilyitsev, whom he had met, came to visit and made it clear that Zhao Xin was the person in charge of the negotiations.

To be honest, when Zhao Xin heard such an arrangement, he didn't know what expression to show at that time? He thought that he was doing some auxiliary technical work, just like when he was the chief engineer in Jinzhong. At most, there are some young people to be trained. But all of a sudden, how did he become the person in charge?

In fact, this is still Jing Jian's old problem - no one is available!

When we found out that Zhao Xin had experience in technology and management of large state-owned enterprises, and that he was a student studying in the Soviet Union, he was familiar with the situation in the Soviet Union, and that he was quite pleasing to the eye after coming into contact, so he could barely use it! By the way, without Zhao Xin's knowledge, his salary had already been raised by Jing Jian to $3,000.

……

Zhao Xin was originally a cadre in the system, so he was somewhat afraid of it. Facing a room full of leaders, Zhao Xin suppressed the tension in his heart: "We have the following requirements: First of all, we need the management of the joint venture. Since the foreign party is a multi-party joint venture, and your Chinese side is the largest shareholder, we have no intention of infringing on the other rights and interests of the major shareholder, but the modern management of the factory ...... In fact, we were a little uneasy......"

Gradually, Zhao Xin calmed down. Although there are many clauses listed for him, in reality, there are no clauses at all, or rather, every clause can be compromised or even canceled.

For Zhao Xin personally, this is of course very good, quite easy to talk about. But in his heart, he still wants to strive for some good conditions, which can also reflect his own value.

"The location of the plant wanted to be located in the coastal area. There must be a port nearby for easy import and export. We can guarantee that the annual export volume will not be less than two thousand vehicles......"

"We also wanted to make use of the existing premises. If not, several workshops will do. We want to build and produce at the same time, complete and put into operation as soon as possible, and then develop on a rolling basis......"

"We are not considering the production of cars for the time being, but we will definitely introduce or develop them in the future. And the first truck technology was ready to introduce several full-fledged medium- and heavy-duty trucks from the USSR. And specialists from the USSR were needed at the beginning stage......"

"In addition to that, we need ......"

Finally, when Zhao Xin finished speaking, Su Jin asked: "Mr. Zhao, can you ask about the composition of your shareholders?

"Hmm. Zhao Xin nodded, "This is the information of our Hong Kong company, you can take a look." This is Mr. Yevgeny, the representative of the Soviet side, and this is Mr. Ilyitsev, the representative of the Hong Kong side, and I am temporarily in charge of the negotiations. We will take the Hong Kong company as a whole and carry out a two-party joint venture with your Chinese side. ”

Su Jin nodded with a smile and continued to ask: "Of course, we welcome the introduction of foreign capital and advanced technology. China's existing FAW and FAW are all derived from the Soviet Union's aid industrial projects. These two factories have a foundation, and they are also the most powerful technical force in China, I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhao Xin has already got a clear answer to this question: "I'm sorry, the geographical conditions of these two factories are not very superior, if there are no very favorable conditions, we will not consider it for the time being." ”

What are you kidding? The domestic truck market has already been carved up by these two factories, and no matter which joint venture it with, isn't it all a sheep's mouth? And Jingjian's automobile factory is ready to compete with these two factories.

In fact, everyone here is well aware of such thoughts, so they don't dwell on anything, just say it in passing. Su Jin smiled: "Then where do you like? We look forward to the success of the joint venture as soon as possible." ”

Amid the laughter, Zhao Xin said: "We plan to determine the location of the investment within a month. Therefore, through the ministry, we would like to send out invitations to the regions that we are interested in, and we will finalize them. Of course, we have requirements, one is efficiency, and we don't want to run through the formalities for months. The other is preferential conditions, such as the promotion of the most critical localization rate, etc. If there is no problem, we will invest the equipment, technology, drawings, etc. of the Soviet side, as well as the remaining part of the foreign exchange cash. And you Chinese side should also take out the corresponding land, infrastructure, etc., and the balance part of the cash in RMB. In addition to this, there should also be tax breaks and loan support. ”

Hearing this, this negotiation has basically come to an end. Vice Minister Yu already has a bottom in his heart, the conditions are very reasonable, and there are no obstacles. The next priority is to determine the location of the car plant as soon as possible.

After having a location, it is possible to negotiate with foreign businessmen, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics and the local government to sign a formal joint venture contract. Then the process of knocking hundreds of chapters can be carried out. Otherwise, it's just air-to-air nonsense.

……

If it was a rumor before, it can be determined now. As soon as the news came out, all the investment promotion departments in various places, whether they were qualified or not, flocked to the hotel where Zhao Xin was staying to try their luck.

Not only that, but soon someone inquired about Zhao Xin's background. So relatives and friends bombed indiscriminately, and even many people found Zhao Xin's home in Jinhai, wanting to "save the country by curve". Anyway, Zhao Xin is already in a hurry, and he has never been so sought after in his life.

To use the joke that Ilyitsev reported to Jing Jian in private: "Just send this old man a beauty plan!"
