Chen Dahe said that it is naturally the FAW company's mid-to-high-end passenger car project, whether it can be won or not, it must be fought for, maybe it will be done.

Hearing Chen Dahe say this, Jerome also became interested, "You mean, with Volkswagen's model, we only need to provide technology and spare parts and cooperate with them?"

If only provide equipment, you can give it a try, now the production base of Britain, Germany and Italy are upgrading, replacing a large number of equipment, although it is old, but the technology has not been upgraded, the running state is not bad, anyway, it is a waste to lose, it is better to use waste to develop emerging markets, and it is not against the will of the boss.

"You can say that, but there is a further step," Chen Dahe said, "out of interest considerations, the public has always kept a hand on them, so the localization rate of less than three percent cannot be completely blamed on this side, and you look for two groups of people, one is responsible for going to the deep formation, inspecting the production of electronic parts and the assembly of the whole machine, and the other is going to Changchun, contacting with the people of their first automobile company, discussing cooperation projects, in which you can grasp the rhythm of negotiation, the principle is equality and mutual benefit." ”

"Okay," the boss has said to this point, Jerome can only accept, although now Star Computer and the Third Automobile have completed the share restructuring and formed a board of directors, but they still hold the controlling stake and can unilaterally promote investment, even if other shareholders are resolutely opposed, it is a big deal to start from scratch and undertake the investment alone, anyway, he can see that the boss has made such a big move in Europe, and sooner or later he will definitely return to China, and he can only fully support it as the boss's hardcore team.

Jerome thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, what is the highest level of car we offer?"

Volkswagen took out the Santana, which belongs to Volkswagen's mid-range models, and the French Peugeot that is being talked to Guangzhou is only a mid-level car, and has not come up with a fist product, if the third car wants to catch up and snatch this project from other giants, I am afraid that it must come up with some real guys, at least Rover, not below this level.

"If," Chen Dahe did not hesitate to make a decision, "Ifa Lasini is too high-end, it will be kept as a permanent project, not to cooperate with anyone, other brands are acquired, not our own products, we want to focus on promoting Ifa, only Ifa is our core brand!"

"Understood," Jerome paused, then smiled, "It just so happens that we are providing free Ifa cars for the Chinese delegation at this Olympic Games, and they are very satisfied with this car, which may be an opportunity." ”

Chen Dahe smiled, "You have done a very good job in this, since you have a good start, then take advantage of the victory and pursue, be sure to win this project, if necessary, you can give the most favorable conditions." ”

"The best terms?" Jerome asked, tentatively, "what do you mean?"

"Provide free technology and vehicle production lines, give a detailed time route table for the localization of spare parts, help their own brand car technology upgrading, and grant patent use rights at market prices, of course, this is the bottom line, you can grasp the rhythm of negotiation, and even if possible, you can package Panda cars into this project as a supplement, Panda is also our own brand, and at the same time it is a national treasure of China, their person in charge should like this name," Chen Dahe said in a small voice, but his tone was very firm," Chen Dahe said in a small voice, but his tone was very firm," I only have one request, at least 50% of the shares, all products are sold locally, I want you to take this market of one billion people, so that Ifa is known here!"

At this moment, Jerome was confused, he couldn't figure out whether the boss was for the sake of the country or the market, so he decided to invest in this project so firmly.

Well, either way, he has to do his best and do what his boss tells him to do.

Jerome's mind was spinning quickly, and he suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Sir, our mining company has been formed to form a group company integrating ore mining, smelting and alloy deep processing, the group is headquartered in Zurich, but the metallurgical plant and minerals are in Africa, and now trial production and capacity expansion are underway, if it goes well, it should be on the right track by this time next year, but the new steel mill will probably wait until the year after next, when the time comes, do you want to also invest in the steel industry?"

Chen Dahe subconsciously raised his head and thought about it, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Forget it, now is not a good time, if the automobile project is negotiated, the main steel components will be produced locally, and then discuss this matter." ”

The iron and steel industry is the core component of the national industry, it is impossible to open up to the outside world so quickly, as far as he knows, it should be after the new century, the domestic iron and steel enterprises are generally losing money, the central government on the one hand is to stop loss, on the other hand, it is also to support the expansion of opening up, transformation and upgrading, before allowing foreign-funded enterprises to hold, before that, there are restrictions on the registered capital, equity ratio and business scope, etc., for the investment that can not be controlled, Chen Dahe's attitude is to rather not invest.

Hearing Chen Dahe's answer, Jerome couldn't figure out what his boss thought, since the birth of the steel industry, it is the industrial backbone of a country, why would the boss not agree to invest in this?

Forget it, if you can't figure it out, you don't want to, let's do these two projects well.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Dahe breathed a sigh of relief, although China is not picky about foreign-funded projects now, as long as it is an investment, he is willing to accept it, but normal people can judge how much difference there should be between electronics and automobile projects and ordinary garment processing.

The Olympics ended, the dinner ended, the exchange of cultural delegations continued, and the deep side also struck while the iron was hot, held a reception for the business community, and finally held an investment promotion meeting, because of the warm-up of the first two receptions, the results were quite good, and the investment agreement reached exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars, far exceeding their expectations.

Well, one billion of the 1.3 billion belong to EO Group's investment projects, of which the Shenzhen-Guangzhou Expressway and Humen Bridge projects account for a full 600 million US dollars, and Jones Construction Investment Company also occupies 80% of the shares of the expressway company, and other infrastructure projects also have 200 million, and the remaining 200 million is the funds prepared for the opening of the school.

By the end of August, the signing ceremony was over, and the exchange activities of the cultural delegation were successfully concluded in the grand closing ceremony, and everyone was ready to leave for Beijin.
