Chapter XIX Briefings
This is a huge conference room, and nearly 20 people sitting on both sides of the long conference table are all CEOs or vice presidents of well-known enterprises. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info On the side of the wall, there are more than fifty attendants.
Because of the arrival of the trip, these people still gathered together on Sunday night to discuss the coping strategy for tomorrow.
Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also present at the meeting, and although they could not intervene in business matters, they were more interested in traveling.
"He wants to buy a house in the capital, which is a good thing! We should give him some necessary help. β
"He's so rich, we don't need to make more concessions on the price, just slaughter this young capitalist. With a word, he wants to take advantage of us billions of dollars, think about it, is it really his black! β
"The same cannot be said for that, first of all, we should see that his conditions are not high at all, because he only asks for profit dividends, not our basic shares. Second, if he offered these conditions to a third-party company outside the United States, he could have put forward higher conditions. In the end, we are not necessary, but he is irreplaceable! β
Everyone fell silent again, and a female official in her forties asked: "Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs found out how this tour struck a balance between the government army and the guerrillas?" Can we replace him in the same way? β
A thin official said: "This is completely impossible, because this is not only a personal feeling, there is a business practice, but also a political event." Zhou You can do these things under the noses of the Americans, and the Americans will not pay much attention to them. But if we do it, it's a very serious political incident. The Uribe government will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure from the United States. β
"Then we're being exploited by Zhou You?"
The words of this official were immediately despised by most people, what is exploitation? This is a legitimate business practice, is it good? If this can also be called exploitation, then there are countless companies that want to be "exploited".
An official sitting at the top said: "Director Sun, you still have to pay attention to the words you use when you speak, this is not exploitation, otherwise, we can ignore him completely." In fact, it's a big opportunity for us. In South America, whether it's Chile, Ecuador, Peru, or Venezuela, they welcome our money, but Colombia has always been the backyard of the United States. In my opinion, not to say 20 percent, but 30 percent, 40 percent, I personally think they should all be accepted. Of course, since it is a negotiation, it cannot be completely in accordance with his plan, it should be discussed, it is still necessary to negotiate, even if it is reduced by one percentage point, it can also be related to hundreds of millions of dollars in income in the future. β
The leader set the general direction, and the rest of the people negotiated according to this idea. It was not until 10 p.m., when the negotiation process for tomorrow was almost arranged, that the meeting was adjourned.
At the end of the meeting, Miss Kang said: "The courtyard house you want should be large, close to the water, and have a good environment, and there are not many suitable houses in the capital at present." There are a few sets on the shore of Houhai that meet his requirements, but one set has been bought by Li Jiacheng, and one set has been bought by a wealthy Russian, and the study room at No. 17 and Nan is now the office address of the "Medical Tribune", and they intend to move out, so they can contact it. β
"I'll leave this matter to you, make it clear to them, and the Tribune should know the overall situation. Anyway, he has money, so he doesn't care about the price, you can help pull a string. β

Monday, October 14.
Early in the morning, Zhou You woke up, practiced in his room for a while, took a shower, had breakfast with old Volando, read the newspaper in his room for a while, and waited until half past eight before he came to a conference room on the sixth floor.
Lin Wei, who came from Singapore, will be the moderator of this meeting, so she got up early in the morning and was silently reading several main points of today's meeting.
Seeing her working so hard, Zhou You also felt a little embarrassed, he really treated her like a cow! It seems that she should speed up her talent pool, and she can't let her do everything.
Due to the lack of subordinates who are proficient in Chinese, only she can take on this responsibility this time, and she should also recruit a group of people from China in the future.
Starting at half past eight, Zhou You waited at the door of the conference room to greet guests from various companies. In addition to the three barrels of oil, there are a large number of domestic mining enterprises, and they are also the largest in number.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs specially sent a staff member to help introduce each guest, so that although Zhou You did not remember everyone, at least the CEO of each company was familiar with the face.
At nine o'clock, the meeting officially began. Except for Lin Wei, all the guests sat in the audience. Zhou You sat in the first row, with a vice minister of foreign affairs on the left, and the chief executive of a large mining company from Yunnan on the right.
It is a relatively advanced medium-sized meeting room, which can accommodate nearly 200 people. Each location has not only a megaphone, but also a real-time translator that can provide translation in seven languages.
Lin Wei first welcomed the leaders, and without too much politeness, she turned on the projector directly.
She started with Zhou You's social connections in Colombia, introduced Zhou You's close ties with the four main Colombian parties, and also focused on Zhou You's friendly relationship with President Uribe. On the screen, photos of Zhou You's group with key Colombian officials, including his photo with Uribe in Palazzo NariΓ±o, were played.
Afterwards, he traveled to San Jose and took a group photo of the meeting with the leaders of the guerrillas, which gave everyone a more intuitive impression.
After Zhou You's relationship with key figures from all walks of life in Colombia was introduced, Lin Wei took out the investment authorization letter that Zhou You got from Colombia and gave a copy to everyone present.
Although many of the leaders here do not understand English and Spanish, Lin Wei also gave a detailed introduction to everyone on stage.
It can be said that these two letters of authorization are Zhouyou's biggest reliance at present. Because no one but him could get the security of both warring sides at the same time.
Next, Lin Wei introduced the secured loan agreements with Santander Bank of Spain and DBS Bank of Singapore, which opened the door to investment in Colombia with a billion US dollars in bailouts.
In the end, it is the focus of today's meeting, Lin Wei introduced the business plan and her obligations in detail, as well as the specific projects that these domestic companies need to do.
Twenty investment projects are almost all the cards that Colombia can come up with, including three oil projects with a daily production of more than 3,000 barrels of oil, one pipeline transportation project, and two port construction projects.
Then there are more than 10 mines that have been explored throughout Colombia. It includes two gold mines, one coal mine, three copper mines, two nickel mines, and three bauxite mines. Finally, there is a uranium mine, which is a pending project.
In addition, there is also Colombia's agricultural export project, timber export project, which is more complicated. Because both projects were divided into government and guerrilla occupation areas, and agricultural products were divided into fruit exports, coffee exports, sugar exports, and other sub-items, it is not surprising that when it came time to cooperate, these projects were divided into a dozen.
From nine o'clock, Lin Wei accepted it, drank water, and talked endlessly for an hour and a half before she could explain all the plans clearly.
At this time, all the talents had a complete and detailed understanding of the plan of the trip, and almost everyone was amazed by the huge plan of the trip.
Even the old Volando, who knew all this, felt ambitious after listening to Lin Wei's introduction through the synchronous translation machine.
Yes, there may be countless people who can think of such a plan, but none of them will have the real execution power like Zhou You. But traveling around is different, in a few months, he has already begun to implement this paper plan, and there is a high probability of success.
After a round of applause, Zhou You stepped onto the podium. Looking at the less than a hundred people in the audience, the number seems to be very small, but they all have a huge influence. Today's breeze, when it reaches Colombia, will turn into a hurricane that will change a country.
"I'm a Chinese!" Zhou You stood on the stage, and the first sentence surprised everyone. But Zhou You didn't look at them, and continued: "Although my nationality has changed, I always think that I am a Chinese. So, at all times, I always think about what I can bring to the country by what I do. β
This is of course a high-sounding word, although Zhou You has always considered himself a Chinese, but he is a typical egoist, the country's righteousness may have it, but that is only something that will be considered after it does not affect his life, does not affect his enjoyment, and achieves his own goals.
But this kind of talk worked very well on this occasion, whether the people present believed it or not, but they all applauded, and the atmosphere became warm and relaxed.
"With my advantage, I can work with any company in the world and get better conditions. But I still think of my homeland, because my country needs these investment opportunities to expand its influence, and it needs these resources to strengthen itself. Today's meeting is a briefing, and it will be the first step in our mutual trust and communication. I promise here that as long as our future negotiations do not go beyond the scope of what Mr. Lin has just introduced, I will definitely abide by my commitments and escort the investment of various enterprises in Colombia. If there is a loss outside of business activities, I will also compensate you according to your actual investment, and will not let any company suffer. β
This promise made the scene immediately boil, because with the guarantee of travel, these investments have almost no chance of losing money, because except for the export of agricultural products, almost all other projects are profitable.
(The Hai Courtyard House on the northern shore of Houhai was actually bought by the Russians around 2006, and it is not known whether it was Yeltsin's granddaughter or Abu.) In 08, the **** president came to participate in the Olympics, and he lived here, and here I advanced a little and had no impact on the plot. οΌ
