Chapter 599 Investing in Pakistan Railway
High-standard reception, Zhang Fan received a high-standard reception in Pakistan Railway. This reception completely exceeded Zhang Fan's expectations, he did not expect that the top leader of Pakistan would personally receive him, this attention is unprecedented.
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your hospitality. I came this time to represent Longteng Group and myself. The main purpose of this visit is to inspect the investment environment in your country. ”
After going through all the reception procedures, Zhang Fan and the Prime Minister of Pakistan came to the conference room. And Zhang Fan's proficient Pakistani Chinese also made the Pakistani prime minister rarely shocked, he did not expect Zhang Fan's language ability to be so good.
The two of them don't need to translate at all, which makes the Pakistani prime minister feel very comfortable.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, on behalf of Pakistan, I welcome you to invest. China and China are good brothers, and if you come to invest in our country, we will give us the greatest support. ”
The President of Pakistan said with a smile. Pakistan's economic development is not good, and what it needs most is investment. You must know that the security situation in Pakistan is not optimistic, but there are strong enemies around it.
Therefore, military spending is relatively large, and without the support of a strong economy, it is not easy for them to buy good things. On the one hand, the economy is not good, and on the other hand, it is necessary to maintain a strong armed force.
As a result of this contradiction, Pakistan's economy has been uneconomical. If Zhang Fan can bring some investment, Pakistan will naturally be very happy.
"Thank you. The reason why I came to your country in person. It is also a great expectation for your country. Although your country's economy is not doing well at the moment. However, I believe that your country's economy will get better and better, and the friendship between your country and China is obvious to all. I have a preliminary plan for this visit. “
Zhang Fan said with a smile, hearing Zhang Fan's words, the president of Pakistan became curious.
"That's right. We at Longteng Group are now building a comprehensive large-scale shopping mall in the capital of your country. In the future, we will bring more Chinese products to this shopping mall. At the same time, we also want to build an industrial park in the specifications. I hope that in the future, we will be able to bring more technology to your country. At the same time, we provide more jobs in your country, and we also reduce the cost of products......"
Zhang Fan began to explain his plan to the Prime Minister of Pakistan in detail. Zhang Fan's initial plan is to establish himself in Pakistan first. Construction of the Pakistani headquarters of Longteng Group in the capital of Pakistan.
At the same time, a large shopping center will be built in the capital, which mainly sells Longteng Group's own products. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the industrial park.
Zhang Fan hopes to build a large-scale industrial park in the capital of Pakistan, which can gradually realize the production of products in Pakistan. At the beginning, the main focus was on assembly, and finally all parts were produced in Pakistan.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the Prime Minister of Pakistan's eyes lit up. Longteng Group not only brought capital this time, but also technology. This is what Pakistan needs most.
Only by bringing capital and technology can Pakistan develop together. If an industrial park is well managed, the benefits generated are very large.
At present, Pakistan's economy is mainly supported by agriculture and service industries. There are no pillar industries, let alone big tech companies.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, we welcome the investment of Longteng Group. By the way, Mr. Zhang Fan, I don't know if we can cooperate further. It's like a joint venture in your country. Your Longteng Group and our Pakistani state-owned enterprises have established a joint venture company. ”
The Prime Minister of Pakistan asked proposely, and this question made Zhang Fan stunned. Looking at the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zhang Fan thought about it.
Setting up a joint venture has both advantages and disadvantages for Longteng Group. Zhang Fan is not afraid that the profits will be divided, but that the joint venture will encounter more obstacles in Pakistan in the future.
The poorer the place, the more prone it is to corruption. The same is true of Pakistan, which has a lot of things inside. If a joint venture is formed, there is a good chance that many things will become uncontrollable in the future.
"I'm sorry Mr. Prime Minister, about the joint venture. I haven't considered it yet. We Longteng Group has always been self-operated. ...... because we were very demanding"
Zhang Fan said with a smile, and the Prime Minister of Pakistan nodded.
"It's okay, it's just a suggestion of mine. There are still opportunities for further cooperation in the future. ”
The Prime Minister of Pakistan said with a smile, and the two continued to chat. In particular, the two sides discussed the cooperation in more detail.
This time, Zhang Fan brought a lot of funds, a full 3 billion yuan. Converted into US dollars, it is more than 400 million US dollars, and according to the current situation of Pakistan absorbing foreign capital, Zhang Fan's investment accounts for more than half.
And this is only an initial investment, if it is better to cooperate with each other in the future. Investment will increase further, and Pakistan is still in a good position.
If the cooperation is pleasant, it can be radiated to neighboring countries in the future. Pakistan's large population will also provide a large number of cheap labor, which will further reduce costs.
At the current level of wages in Pakistan, their wages are much lower than those in China. The salary of an ordinary worker is converted into 1,000 yuan, which is considered a good wage.
And now the salary of ordinary workers in China, 3,000 yuan a month is already considered low. This is also the reason why many foreign-funded enterprises in China have moved away.
However, the places where foreign capital is relocated are Southeast Asia or India, which are relatively stable. And Zhang Fan chose Pakistan, compared to those places, the Pakistan country Zhang Fan chose may not be very safe.
But the policies that can be obtained are definitely much better than those of Southeast Asian countries. At the same time, the relationship between Pakistan and China also determines that in the future, in Pakistan, Longteng Group will not be stumped by those countries.
The investment of 3 billion yuan is a big investment for Pakistan. What's more, Zhang Fan also promised that he would continue to invest the profits he earned in Pakistan.
In particular, Zhang Fan's plan to operate Longteng self-operated village made the Prime Minister of Pakistan very excited. Self-operated villages are to change the people's livelihood, and if this matter is done well, his support rate will definitely increase significantly.
E-commerce, mobile payment, instant messaging software, logistics express ......
There are many projects to be invested in by Longteng Group, according to Zhang Fan's words. It is to build the dragon system of Pakistan, and if the construction of this system is successful, the change for Pakistan will be huge.
Meetings, inspections, and meetings with some entrepreneurs in Pakistan. Zhang Fan made a lot of noise in Pakistan, and the news about him continued to be transmitted back to China.
This kind of movement has made Zhang Fan's status in China improve again, and now Zhang Fan is no longer a simple star entrepreneur. It's a bigwig-level task.
Especially in the matter of investment in Pakistan, Huaxia is also very supportive. After all, this is a matter that can greatly increase the relationship between the two countries, and such a thing must be supported.
