Chapter 241: A Different Place

Mr. Jonas, the relevant departments attach great importance to the proposal of Huaxia Park, but since 82 years, we have stopped giving away free pandas and animal exchanges, so your proposal needs to wait for the coordination of the relevant departments. However, in principle, I support your plan. ”

Because Jonas is proficient in Chinese, after the meeting, Jonas offered to talk in Chinese throughout the conversation, but a camera would be arranged to record the meeting so that Jonas could sort out the content later.

On his side, he alone understands Chinese, and if he forgets what he said, or if there is an omission, it will be difficult to continue later.

Therefore, the necessary records are indispensable.

However, the leader did not come from a diplomatic background, and he could not distinguish some of the names of Europe, and made jokes like Mr. Jonas.

But he is the biggest, and no one dares to point it out at this time.

Jonas smiled: "Director Feng just calls me Jonas, I'm young, I want to be a junior to you, and it's more cordial to call your name directly."

The plan for Huaxia Park, after I mentioned it to you last time, has been revised on my side. Pure Chinese architecture can certainly attract the curiosity of tourists, but I don't think enough can be done to promote Chinese culture. ”

"Oh......" Director Feng asked with a concerned look, "Have a new idea?"

Jonas hooked his fingers, and Mikiros, who was on the outskirts of the crowd, hurriedly walked in and handed Jonas a few pieces of paper.

On the paper were some supplementary plans written by Jonas in Chinese, and to him was a little embarrassed, his handwriting in his previous life was not very good, and now his writing is even worse, but it can be seen clearly.

Others didn't laugh at him, a foreigner, being fluent in Chinese is already rare, and the handwriting is almost understandable.

Director Feng took the paper handed over by Jonas and looked at it and boasted: "You guys are used to writing letters, and it's amazing to be able to write Chinese." ”

Jonas did not dwell on this, and said: "Over the years, due to the lack of resources, China has been relying on the export of grain, minerals, and oil in exchange for foreign exchange.

Originally, there was not much oil in China, but when China's economy developed up, the oil that is exported cheaply now may have to be bought back at ten times the price in the future.

Of course, I also know that Huaxia does not have much industrial export capacity today, and in order to buy foreign equipment and technology, it can only choose this way.

I have a few open source suggestions here, and I don't mean anything else, just to let Huaxia have a few more channels to earn foreign exchange. ”

Director Feng immediately expressed his gratitude, but he didn't have time to read these suggestions, and asked a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with Huaxia Park?"

"I believe that Huaxia Park should not only assume the responsibility of promoting Chinese culture, but also take the responsibility of expanding the economy.

In my vision, each Huaxia Park is divided into two parks, one is pavilions, pavilions, gardens, including giant pandas to attract tourists.

One is an antique street, and at the same time has the role of selling Chinese specialties. These shops can be used on a provincial basis to sell specialties and crafts from each province, which is the favorite of Westerners.

Switzerland has strict environmental regulations that prohibit the misuse of plastic bags, and people use baskets to buy groceries. For example, Chinese handicrafts are very popular in Switzerland, and when I travel to China, all the handicrafts I bring back are robbed by relatives and friends.

In addition, matsutake mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms from southwest China are also very popular in the West.

Italy's premium matsutake mushrooms cost $30 and 500 grams in the market, and truffles cost thousands, or even tens of thousands. ”

Director Feng paused for a moment and looked at a man with glasses in his forties. "Is Jonas telling the truth?"

The other party nodded and said: "Truffles are rare in our country, but there are many matsutake mushrooms, but the production of this thing is not high, the transportation is difficult, and there is no stable trade channel." ”

Jonas added: "There is one commodity that is easy to trade and can easily be exported to more than $100 million. ”

"What?"

"Fireworks. ”

Everyone looked at each other, a little skeptical.

Jonas laughs: "In the Netherlands and Germany, they also produce fireworks, so you can get a feel for the market. Moreover, the fireworks they produce can be described as high-priced compared with fireworks in China.

If China can cultivate a market for fireworks in various countries, including the sports games, it is also possible that the export share will exceed one billion US dollars. ”

Jonas is talking about the data of later generations, and it was not until the new century that Chinese fireworks gradually spread, and then they occupied more than 80% of the world's market.

While they were still digesting Jonas's words, Jonas added: "When I go to China again this year, I will buy a batch of fireworks and come back, and the initial estimate is to buy one million dollars." ”

The other party smiled: "Then I can't wait for Jonas to go to Huaxia." ”

Jonas said with a smile: "The construction of Huaxia Park, one is business, the other is culture, and the giant panda is one of the very important carriers. So if this matter is to be done, the problem of giant pandas must be solved. ”

Director Feng smiled: "However, this is another trivial matter compared to your investment. I will urge the relevant departments to come up with a resolution as soon as possible and give you an answer before the end of the negotiations. ”

Jonas laughed: "The word negotiation is not a good word, I thought that talks were the more friendly word." ”

Everyone laughed, but everyone knew that no matter how good Jonas said now, the contact of the leaders above could be talks,

When the time comes for the people below to negotiate the project, there will still be a lot of contention.

Director Feng smiled: "Then, let's get to the point." ”

Jonas nodded, and he asked, "As far as I know, you don't have a car factory under your name, so why are you in a hurry to go to Huaxia to cooperate? How can you ensure that the project can be implemented smoothly?

Jonas said: "If your news is not lagging behind, you should know that I was a guest at Windsor Castle a few days ago, and I have decided to buy Rolls-Royce and Bentley for no less than $400 million. ”

The other party nodded and said, "We also know that you now have shares in more than 17 Austrian auto parts factories, and you are interested in cooperating with them to build factories." However, you don't have a complete car production system in your hands right now. ”

"Actually, I did, but I gave up. The Italian company Fiat is willing to take out a production line in Genoa, as well as all the technology of Panda Motors, to cooperate with me to build a factory in China.

At the same time, BMW is also willing to provide the corresponding technology to create a car that is in line with the national conditions of China. But I refused. ”

The Panda car is a small car launched by Fiat in 81, the sales of this car are okay, and the price is also very cheap, but the defects are very large, and it is definitely not in line with the current China.

"I know something about this, you want to buy five percent of the shares from the Covante family, it's been a sensation lately. But why refuse?"

"Because both companies are mainly performance cars, they don't know what kind of cars are needed in China today. ”

"Listen up. ”

Jonas is also not modest, and at this time he must convince the other side in order for the negotiations to continue.

"BMW mainly produces performance cars, and their cars are expensive, while what Huaxia needs now is civilian models. No matter how advanced the technology is, the Chinese people don't have enough money in their hands now, and they are helpless.

Fiat's Panda cars, on the other hand, are cheap, but they are targeted at private owners. Today's car sales in China are mainly buses, and private individuals can't even afford motorcycles, so how can they afford to buy cars?"

Director Feng felt very shocked, if he didn't look at Jonas's face, he always thought he was chatting with a young man in China.

Not only did he speak well, but more importantly, he had a clear understanding of Huaxia.

"So, that's why you're going to build a motorcycle factory first?"

Jonas nodded and said: "I was prepared to lose money for ten years when I invested in cars in Huaxia, and if I want to ensure the return on investment, I must balance it with the income of trucks and motorcycles. ”

No one refuted Jonas's words, because almost all car manufacturers at this time were in this position.

Due to the harsh conditions of the joint venture, most of the car companies are waiting and seeing.

Only Volkswagen became the first to eat crabs, and they directly gave a factory worth "400 million" US dollars to Huaxia, and then Volkswagen provided FAW with 15 variants of the two basic models of Audi 100 and Audi 200, including all product drawings, process documents, tooling drawings, as well as some tooling molds and body manufacturing technology, plus personnel training.

In the end, I got the opportunity to cooperate with FAW.

Although this happened four years later, negotiations have already begun.

It's just that because they can't see the prospect of profitability, Volkswagen they still dragged it out and didn't sign the agreement until 88.

Not to mention how much this factory they claim to be worth 400 million is worth for the time being, this attitude alone is very satisfying to Huaxia.

Therefore, they have been favored by policies in later generations, and their development has been very stable.

Jonas did not have a factory to donate to Huaxia, and he would not come to these vains, he had his own attraction.

Because he has a lot of money in his hands, he also looks at the control of the Steyr factory, and the technology of several models of the Steyr factory has been licensed to several automobile manufacturers in Huaxia, and they have also relied on Steyr's technology to develop.

Director Feng was a little interested and asked, "Are you going to come up with more advanced Steyr heavy truck technology?"

"Yes, but this is one of them. ”

Director Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "You said that the initial investment is more than 500 million US dollars, but it seems that you can't invest so much money just by relying on these two projects." ”

Jonas said with a smile: "Volkswagen actually played a trick that everyone knows, they provide product drawings, process documents, tooling drawings, as well as some tooling molds and body manufacturing technology, plus personnel training, but what about engine and gearbox technology? How long will it take for Huaxia to absorb these technologies, and all the accessories at the beginning have to be purchased from abroad?"

Director Feng became serious and asked, "Then what can you provide?"

"I will have a complete layout in Huaxia and directly cooperate in the production of almost all auto parts. ”

At this moment, everyone was shocked.
