The claw machine landed at the metropolitan airport! Later, the old overseas Chinese appeared, and Fan Dan's illness said that the obscure training was "Qinmeng."

There were at least dozens of people who came to the airport to greet them, and after getting off the plane, among the people who came to greet Fan Wuxi, there were indeed several government officials, such as the person in charge of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, and so on.

Fan Wuxian solemnly introduced the old overseas Chinese to everyone, and then arranged a special person to accompany the old man to visit and play everywhere, and at the same time specially allocated money to accompany him to his hometown to donate to build the school ancestral hall.

As for himself, after receiving the old overseas Chinese, he began to hand over the ore samples to domestic experts in the field of narrow iron mixed ore for identification. At the same time, it is necessary to consult the relevant technology to see if it is really possible for the other party to separate ilmenite.

It didn't take long for this information to be implemented, and the other side did have this new technology, and it was a technology that no company in the world had. The source of their technology is the chief engineer of the consortium of one of the largest metallurgical companies in Europe and the prospector of Xi Prospector, one of the three giants of the world's mining industry, and the technical level is still very high, but the only flaw is that this technology has not been actually applied, and the research risk is very large. It is likely to become a bottomless pit or fail to research, and then there will be no return.

In fact, the other party wants to build this separation plant. If it succeeds, it is they who make the money, and if it fails, then it is the Fan Investment Group that will lose all its money.

Fan Wuxian also considered that if it was operated in the way of commercial venture capital, it would be possible to gamble, but this required both parties to know the matter, rather than letting Fan's Investment Group pay money and only get a share of iron ore, and that pitiful one percent return is also a risky and uncertain return.

Otherwise, if Fan's Investment Group is a general domestic enterprise, it will definitely be difficult to make direct foreign exchange investment, and once the investment is made of a letter of credit, the risk is very great. If there is no return, the other party can take the agreement and say that they are really investing and ask Fan's Investment Group to repay the money, if they don't pay back, it will really become a letter of credit fraud

So they will let the company take out a loan, as if the company is limited liability, but in fact the Chinese side has unlimited liability, such a high-risk investment in technology research and development. The investments offered by the other side are often very conservative. The actual cost is several times that of this is also a very normal thing, just like some domestic projects in the project there are also a lot of fishing projects, first a small amount of you will be hooked, and the follow-up will not be able to invest, for almost certainly such a situation of investment, the financial capacity of the general enterprise is not affordable, not to mention the business environment like Africa, absolutely can not be pressed on the full value.

Another point is that after Fan Wuxian returned to China, the expert team in Africa obtained the information after investigation, and they said that in Africa, commercial espionage and commercial bribery are rampant, which is much more powerful than China's, and the 10,000 US dollars an hour lawyer will also be bought.

Don't look at the charge he charges $10,000 a time. That's nothing compared to a billion-dollar mine deal, because there is no business credibility here, and the integrity is worse than that of lawyers in China.

The most common approach is to find an expert who understands African mining law, and the legal expert will ask questions, and at the same time, find a few more local lawyers in Africa, so that they don't know each other's existence, and ask them the same questions.

If what they say is the same, then it is credible, and if they all say very differently, then the problem is obvious, and some of them must have been bought.

And the experts after exploring those minerals. I re-estimated the project again. If you calculate the benefits of titanium, the value should not be less than tens of billions of dollars.

There is another fact that also makes Fan Wuxi feel quite worried, as soon as he returns to China, he began to look for domestic legal resources to support, but he soon appeared. There is no expert who understands African mining law in China, and there are still some scholars in Anglo-American law, and such experts cannot be applied in practice, because the purpose of their research is more to learn from their advanced legislative ideas to build China's legal system, rather than real application.

As a result, their practical ability is very limited, their on-the-spot reaction and experience are basically equal to zero, and their theoretical level cannot be compared with that of foreign experts.

If we use the competition as a metaphor here, they are sports theorists rather than athletes, and these theorists have problems as coaches, not to mention competing on the field, and there are no athletes in China who can compete on the field.

There is also an important issue for lawyers who are "in accordance with the rules of the local lawyer's service". He must answer you truthfully, and if you answer incorrectly, the lawyer will be held responsible, but if you don't ask some questions, he is not obliged to remind you.

Now the big question. It's just that they don't understand the local laws at all, and Fan Wuxian can't ask questions themselves, so what else can they do?

Chinese entrepreneurs know very little about foreign countries, and China does not have its own experts at home, how can they not be deceived? And how many years will it take to train such an expert on Africa that can be applied? And there is also the fact that we do not even know how to train such experts, which is why China wants to expand its soft power. It's really hard to get to the sky!

It hadn't been half a day since Fan Wuxian came back, and Boss Zhu asked him to come over to talk about things.

After meeting Boss Zhu, Fan Wuxian told him about this trip to Africa. Then there was a big pour of bitter water, which shows how difficult it is for domestic enterprises to go out and open up external resources.

Boss Zhu listened to Fan Wuxi's words, and his heart was also a little touched, and he said to Fan Wuxi, "Our country's foreign exchange reserves have increased dramatically over the years. However, the rapid development of the economy is in short supply, and the society is full of calls to invest in overseas resources. It seems that if you have money, you can buy anything, but tell me about your experience when you came back this time, and give me the deepest experience, that is, China's soft power is insufficient, and money alone cannot solve the problem. If you don't have your own legal research, you don't have your own team of experts, and you don't understand the rules of the mining industry and the market, if you have money, you will be cheated out of money. Without the backing of the country's military strength, your personal safety overseas cannot be guaranteed, so how can you do business with peace of mind? ”

This topic is obviously quite heavy. Boss Zhu paused for a moment, and then continued. "If the state's enterprises come forward, they will also face some international interference and political problems. Therefore, the expansion of China's national strength is far from a simple economic growth, it is a long way to go, and it is a gradual process. ”

Fan Wuxian deeply agreed with Boss Zhu's words, and this experience also made him see it. It is true that some things cannot be solved with money alone, and deterrence by force is very useful at all times.

"By the way, you're in such a hurry to find me. What exactly is there to do? Fan Wuxian remembered that when he came over this time, Boss Zhu's secretary tried to urge him very tightly on the phone, so he asked.

"Well, it's a bit of a hassle." Boss Zhu touched his forehead and said to Fan Wuxian. "Recently, there have been some impacts on economic and trade relations between China and Russia. The situation is not too good. ”

"Oh?" Fan Wuxi was stunned for a moment.

Since the establishment of the mechanism for the regular meetings of the Chinese and Russian prime ministers in December 1996, Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation has entered a period of steady and rapid development. Unprecedented breadth and depth have been achieved.

In 2,001, the bilateral trade volume between China and Russia exceeded $10 billion for the second time, and this year it will continue to maintain rapid growth, and the trade volume is expected to reach a new high. At present, Russia is China's eighth largest trading partner, and China is Russia's sixth largest trading partner, and the economic and technological cooperation between the two countries in various fields has been smoothly developed, especially the steady progress of major projects involving the national economy and people's livelihood, and the economic and trade cooperation has shown a diversified pattern.

In August last year, China and Russia just signed the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Good Neighborliness, Friendship, and Cooperation," and they held that economic and trade cooperation is the material foundation for Sino-Russian good-neighborliness, friendship, and cooperation, and is an important guarantee for maintaining the vigorous vitality of the strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries. Only by constantly and actively exploring new directions and areas of cooperation, and while formulating long-term cooperation plans, can we formulate concrete measures and solve specific problems for the implementation of relevant projects in various fields between the two sides, so as to ensure the long-term, stable, and healthy development of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation and provide a solid foundation that can be relied on for the continuous development of the strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries in the political field.

However, according to Boss Zhu, there have been few frictions between the two sides since the establishment of the Sino-Russian strategic cooperative partnership, and these frictions are mainly concentrated in the field of economic and trade cooperation.

"I remember when I went to Africa, it didn't seem like there were so many problems, right?" Fan Wuxian couldn't help but feel very curious, and he didn't know why so many contradictions suddenly broke out.

But I think about what happened to me in Africa. Fan Wuxian couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart that this international trade is really difficult. There are no pop-ups
