Chapter 499: Consensus

"Okay! You also said that you want me to accompany you to Europe!"

"Look, you accompany me to Europe, so that we can work and play at the same time!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.

"It's fine, but what about my parents? They just came, and I went to Europe with you, what about them?

I don't know the place well, and I can't understand the voice!"

"Stupid! You have a black card from Citibank, right?"

"Yes, the first time I handled the business, I got a black card!

What does this have to do with black cards?"

The United States is a paradise for the rich, as long as you have money, even if you want to go to the White House for tea, there is no problem!

Black card, on behalf of the most distinguished customers!

As long as you have enough money, Citibank can do anything for you, including some illegal things!

When they say they can't do it, it's not that they really can't do it, or they can't do it.

That just means you don't have enough money!

So, you say you go to Europe, your parents can't arrange it, this is very simple!

Give Citibank a call and if you want to go around, they will send the most professional guide immediately!

Even if your parents want to play mahjong at home and there are two people missing, they will immediately send a mahjong master to come and play mahjong with your parents!

If you want your parents to win, then they can hand what they want!

If you want your parents to lose, then even if they are heavenly, they can't win other people's butts!" Yu Qingyang pinched Tian Tian's nose and said with a smile.

"You know a lot! You've been to the United States before?"

"No! I'm coming to the U.S. for the first time!"

"Then how do you know so much about America?"

"If a scholar doesn't go out, he will know the world!"

"I want to move to Vancouver, where there are more Chinese, I heard that the road signs there are in Chinese and English, and my parents don't have to worry about getting lost when they go out!

Study, I can go to the University of Vancouver, it's the same!" Tian Tian whispered in Yu Qingyang's arms.

"Vancouver is not for you, you will never belong there! If you really go, you will find that you are not compatible with the world of Vancouver!"

"Why?"

"There are a lot of Chinese people in Vancouver! But do you know that there are the most Chinese people in Vancouver?"

"That kind of person?"

"The most in Vancouver are the official wife, the rich wife and the second wife!"

"Isn't that right? Aren't I your second wife?"

"Tian Tian, strictly speaking, you are not my second wife, you are a confidant!

Got it?

You are an independent and self-reliant woman!

This manor, luxury cars, bodyguards, the money you spent, you don't know, think I gave it to you!

Actually, all I gave you was a principal!

All your expenses are earned by your ability!

So, you are different from those second wives who parasitize on men! Don't belittle yourself!" Yu Qingyang got up, moved Tian Tian's head over, stared at her eyes, and said seriously.

"Okay, I'm just kidding, see you're serious!

I'll call Citibank tomorrow and ask them to send someone to accompany my parents on a tour to see the beauty of the United States!

Then I'll accompany you to Europe, okay?" Tian Tian kissed Yu Qingyang on the face before he said in a tired voice.

"Did you brush your teeth just now?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you say?"

"Okay! I don't think you're dirty, you think I'm dirty!

I didn't brush my teeth, and I let you taste your own taste!" Tian Tian pounced on Yu Qingyang.

"Guaranteed sales of 5,000 units a year?, Mr. Yu, are you kidding?" said Robert Lorenz, CEO of Volvo.

"No, Mr. Lorenz, I'm not kidding!

5,000 units, just the initial stage of cooperation, after five years, I can guarantee that the annual sales of Volvo excavators will be more than 20,000 units!

This can be written in the contract, but if it can't be done, we Huaihai Investment will pay for it!" Yu Qingyang said confidently.

"Mr. Yu, please forgive me, it's not that I don't trust your company!

It's just, do you know how much our Volvo headquarters sells in a year?" Robert Lorenz had a lot of body language and facial expressions, and asked Yu Qingyang with slightly exaggerated body language and facial expressions.

"I don't know, but the total sales of construction machinery should not exceed 20,000 units!" Yu Qingyang shrugged and said with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, it seems that you really know Volvo very well!

Our total sales last year reached a record high of more than 17,000 units!

So, I'm full of doubts about the guaranteed sales of 5,000 excavators you said!"

"Mr. Lorenz, China is developing at an unprecedented pace!

The pace of development of our country exceeds the estimates of all countries!

It is precisely because your company sees the potential of the Chinese market that it will build a factory in China!

It's just that, in my opinion, your company's confidence is clearly not enough!

So, here I am!

With full sincerity, I came to Sweden and came to Volvo headquarters!

China Huaihai Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd., you don't need to pay a penny!

There is no need for your company to worry about sales.

Your company only needs to provide technology, and we have all the rest!

We promise that in the first year of production, the sales of excavators will be guaranteed to 5,000 units, and the total sales volume will be 20,000 units.

For the insufficient part, we still pay your company's dividends according to the above figures!

Mr. Lorenz, think about it!

As long as it is put into production, it will exceed the total sales volume of your company in the world!

What does this mean? It means that your company's reach has doubled!

This means that your company's stock price will increase significantly!

And your company can account for 20% of the shares just by providing technology, which is a very sincere cooperation!" Yu Qingyang was full of temptation and passionately painted a bright future to Robert Lorenz.

"Including reaching the total sales of 50,000 units in five years?"

"Yes, I can guarantee that by 10 years, Volvo's total sales will exceed 100,000 units!

Of course, there will always be time for the market to be saturated, and I dare not be 100,000 units forever!

However, I will do my best to make Volvo's construction machinery the largest number of construction machinery in the world!"

"Okay, Mr. Yu, you convinced me!

You are a brilliant entrepreneur and a very confident and ambitious entrepreneur!

However, I think 20 percent is a bit too little! 30 percent is more appropriate!"

"No, Mr. Lorenz, the proportion of technical shares, according to international practice, twenty percent is the most appropriate!

I'll admit, Volvo is good! But it's not irreplaceable!

For example, Japan's Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Germany's Demag, Terex, Liebherr, and the United States' Carter are all very good construction machinery!"

"Mr. Yu, what you said is good, but as far as I know, among the brands you mentioned, Komatsu can compete with us, but they have already reached a joint venture with your country!

Caterpillar isn't bad either, but compared to Volvo, their machinery has one biggest drawback, which is bulky and fuel-intensive!

Demag, Terex and Liebherr have no intention of investing in China for the time being!

So, only we at Volvo are the best for you!

Twenty-eight percent, no less!" Robert Lorenz said in a big way, and finally dropped by two points.

"Mr. Lorenz, I can agree to your thirty percent request!

However, I have one request! That is, your company must not set up technical barriers!

And within five years, help us establish a construction machinery and equipment research and development center!" Yu Qingyang put forward a new request.

"Mr. Yu, you are an honest person and a very ambitious person!

I'm sorry about the technology disclosure and helping you to set up an R&D center, which is beyond the board of directors' authority for me!"

"Mr. Lorenz, you have to be clear, we are not learning your skills for nothing, we are paying thirty percent of the shares!

And, if it's a patented technology, we'll pay your company's royalties in accordance with the rules!

Therefore, open technology, do not set up technical barriers, and help us establish R&D centers, which is a prerequisite for our cooperation!

Or, Mr. Lorenz, what kind of leverage do you need to convince the board?" Yu Qingyang insisted.

Working with you is for the sake of technology.

You're like Komatsu, the key technology is retained, it's produced in Japan, it's just that the bulky body is produced domestically, so what's the point of cooperation?

Negotiations are not a one-time deal.

The first talks, there was an impasse on the technical disclosure.

Yu Qingyang is not in a hurry at all, after all, he wants to learn other people's skills.

In the next few days, Yu Qingyang visited the headquarters in Sweden, production sites in Poland and France.

Yu Qingyang stayed in Sweden longer than expected.

In order to be able to speak directly with the board members, Yu Qingyang hosted a cocktail party through the embassy, which several directors in Sweden were invited to attend.

After a month-long effort, Volvo finally relented and agreed to let go of key technologies, for which Yu Qingyang paid 35% of the shares.

If you want to catch up with others in a short period of time, you will have to spend a high price if you want to catch up with others for decades or hundreds of years of technology accumulation.

Yu Qingyang is very satisfied with the full set of technologies for dozens of construction machinery such as Volvo excavators, forklifts, pavers, and graders for paying 35 percent of the shares.

His bottom line is forty percent.

Yu Qingyang, on behalf of Huaihai Investment and Volvo Group CEO Robert Lorenz, signed the memorandum of cooperation agreement in the presence of the Chinese Ambassador to Sweden and numerous media outlets.

The official cooperation agreement must be signed in the magic capital!

Because the SASAC of Modu is another shareholder, the three parties must sign an agreement together.

Huaihai Investment once again resounded in the world and was well known by the majority of Chinese.

The last time was the Ajigeria cement plant, although there were also reporters to interview, but the impact in China was not great.

This time is different, Yu Qingyang directly appeared on the CCTV news broadcast, although it was only a short one or two seconds of footage.

However, Yu Qingyang still received many congratulatory calls from China.

This is just a memo, if it is a formal contract, why not give five seconds?
