Chapter 937 How to use it
Although the time of the verbal exchange was not long, both sides were a little tired. So I decided to take a break to smoke a cigar and have the staff bring refreshments.
The special cigars made in Cuba have a very mellow taste, and Jing Jian joked while swallowing the clouds: "Pantsev, it seems that we still need to get a lawyer to come over, and the stay in Moscow will not be short." You've extorted all the money, so I'm going to have to eat and drink at your house when the time comes?"
"Huh. "You are welcome to my house, my wife's cooking skills are very good." However, it would be more appropriate to have Nona accompany you, our Soviet people are quite hospitable. ”
There was a burst of laughter in the reception room, and Nona glanced at the group of "improper" men with disgust. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and everyone's hearts felt as if a big stone had fallen. Needless to say, Jing Jian got another large loan of rubles that was almost given away for nothing. And Pantsev's side received the most valuable $2 billion in foreign exchange at this time. Although it is not direct cash and needs to be realized indirectly, if it is placed in the central bank as a reserve, if it is operated well, it can completely stabilize the domestic ruble currency worth more than 10 billion US dollars. Given the chaotic economy of the Soviet Union at this time, it is by no means an exaggeration to say that it is a relief in the snow.
In fact, to be honest, Pantsev and they really tried their best, and they also tried to get the maximum benefit for the Soviet Union. But a country as large as the Soviet Union could never be saved by a few dedicated and competent officials. When they meet a group of pig teammates, can they be blamed for the collapse of the Soviet Union in the future? Can they be blamed for the Soviet government's decision to depreciate the ruble in the future? Can they be blamed for the comprehensive privatization in the future?
However, from a negotiation point of view, deciding the total amount of funds is one thing, and deciding how the funds should be used is another.
So after a few minutes of rest, one of Pantsev's subordinates on the side first led the topic: "Mr. Bramble, I heard that you also have a chemical plant and a steel plant, and we are also willing to provide the most advanced equipment and complete sets of technology at the best price. ”
The implication of the words is that some people want to return to the model of automobile factories and try to obtain the maximum economic benefits for the Soviet Union through the method of introducing joint ventures in a complete set.
However, time has passed, and the car factory model in particular is not replicable. The Chinese market is indeed very short of freight trucks, so cheap and high-quality Soviet trucks are very popular, but there is no shortage of other equipment at all, low-end domestic production, high-end European and American countries have basically been opened, the only Soviet Union has an advantage in a few industries such as military industry, plastics and machine tools, either will never be opened to the outside world, or will be able to buy with scrap copper and rotten iron next year, so Jing Jian will never agree.
However, although I disagree in my heart, I must find a suitable statement. After pondering for a few seconds: "I think so, I hope to discuss it with you. I would like to divide the funds into two major parts, one part is to purchase your steel and other industrial products, accounting for half of them. The rest will be invested in the light industry that produces civilian products, and a joint venture model similar to that of an automobile factory can be adopted here. ”
"Oh?" Jing Jian's words surprised Pantsev and them. Pantsev hurriedly asked, "Can you tell us what you think?"
Jing Jian smiled and nodded: "Actually, the situation in our two countries is very similar, the burden on the country is too heavy, resulting in insufficient investment, and too few goods to meet the people's enjoyment. Or to put it another way, compared with the people of the West, the living standards of our people in China and the Soviet Union are relatively low. Therefore, what we urgently need most is to prescribe the right medicine, first of all to alleviate the discontent of the people, and to obtain certain benefits in terms of economic benefits. ”
Jing Jian's words aroused Pantsev's interest. He hurriedly asked, "How do you prescribe the right medicine?"
"The first thing is to let those manufacturers who are underproducing produce it. And we in China urgently need those industrial products, you can just meet the output, and solve the urgent need first. In fact, the export of equipment and technology, etc., when those factories are built in China, will be a few years later, and it will not help much to the current situation. ”
Pantsev and the others nodded in agreement, this statement is more practical, and the effect can be seen immediately. Even Jing Jian's bottom line still needs to be tested, so another accompanying staff member interjected: "Mr. Bramble, do you want to continue this kind of industrial product export trade forever?"
"No, no. Jing Jian smiled and shook his head, "It's not that I'm not interested in those factories, it's that my personal ability is limited, and I can only focus on investment at this stage." By the way, I would like to introduce you to a Huaqiang company, which I would like to reveal here that it has an official Chinese background, but it is registered in the Cayman Islands and basically operates under a Western business model. And many of our domestic manufacturers are interested in the introduction of your Soviet equipment. Through the intermediary of that Huaqiang company, I believe that there will be a more satisfactory result. ”
Jing Jian was talking about the company that was a joint venture with Ling Feng's ministry. Although they have only just been established, relying on their domestic background and Jing Jian's connections in Europe, they are already well-known in the acquisition circle in Eastern Europe. Since Jing Jian didn't do it, he simply transferred the relationship to Huaqiang. In fact, after all, a person's energy is limited, and it is better to let more Chinese manufacturers get benefits, and there is a relationship and organization, which will definitely be better than what to do in the history of the previous life.
In this regard, Pantsev and they were also satisfied. At heart, they are still officials, and they are always more willing to deal with the Chinese government.
"Then why did you choose to invest in light industry?" Pantsev continued.
"The first is that the investment is small and the results are fast. Jing Jian seemed confident. It is impossible for him to rely solely on his own presence in such an important negotiation. Therefore, before coming, Jing Jian had already prepared several sets of plans, "A light industry and civil commodity manufacturer like this can build a large-scale factory for one or two million US dollars." And I just use the money for the acquisition. In China, there are a large number of such state-owned enterprises that welcome Sino-foreign joint ventures, and I can quickly have enough production capacity and a large number of civilian goods. ”
Jing Jian's goal, of course, is to use up the ruble loan as quickly as possible. Some could purchase Soviet industrial goods, but others needed a good reason. At present, China is vigorously encouraging foreign investment, does it only welcome the US dollar from European and American countries? Does it not welcome the ruble from the Soviet Union? There is no reason for this? The speed of key acquisitions is relatively fast, or it can be said that the difficulty of spending money is the least, and it is much less than the link of foreign trade procurement? Therefore, Jing Jian is ready to set off a "storm of acquisitions" in China again.
