Chapter 645: Snake Swallowing Elephant?
On the plane to Bonn, the capital of West Germany, Chen Geng carefully looked at the information he had collected about the revolution in Czechoslovakia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, there is still a great deal of debate about whether the "Velvet Revolution" in Czechoslovakia should be defined as a revolution, and it is debatable whether the mass protests that took place in Czechoslovakia in the eyes of European countries can be called revolutions, but there is no doubt that it was a landmark event: the "Velvet Revolution" in Czechoslovakia compared to the "Prague Spring" in 1968, when the Soviet Union intervened with great military power The European countries saw the weakening side of the huge empire of the Soviet Union: although the Soviet government was extremely angry about what happened in Czechoslovakia, and expressed its confidence in resolutely supporting the Czech Communist Party through diplomacy and other means, it did not take any action on the military front.
The whole of Europe rejoiced!
Under the iron hooves of the Soviet Union, Europeans felt that the whole of Europe was already in darkness, but now, the huge empire of the Soviet Union has finally shown a little sign that the edifice is about to collapse, maybe in 20 years, maybe 30 years, the Soviet Union, the mountain that weighs on the heads of the European people, will collapse? It would be wonderful if there was such a day.
Lin Shuyao didn't know that Chen Geng's mind had flown out of the sky, and while helping Chen Geng sort out and analyze the data, she said in a low voice: "Boss, do you really think that now is a good time to enter Czechoslovakia, you look at these reports, the Soviet government is very annoyed by the protests and demonstrations that took place in Czechoslovakia, and is very dissatisfied with the fact that Wenceslas Havel is very capable of becoming the president of Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet government is very likely to launch another 'Prague Spring' or something like that......"
"No, it won't, I'm pretty sure that this time the Soviet Union could not have intervened militarily in Czechoslovakia." Chen Geng waved his hand and said with certainty.
"Why?" Because of the urgency of the matter, the two of them didn't discuss this matter properly, and now when it comes to it, Lin Shuyao can no longer hold back the curiosity in her heart - to tell the truth she really doesn't think it is a good idea to invest in Czechoslovakia now - and asked: "The Soviet Union has always regarded Czechoslovakia as its backyard in Europe, and now the gardeners in the backyard have begun to disobey their own greetings, how can the Soviet Union not clean them up?" ”
"Because of the economy, the current Soviet Union can no longer afford to fight any war," Speaking of this, Chen Geng couldn't help but sigh a little: "Not to mention a war like the Afghan War, which lasted for several years, even if it was a special intervention operation similar to the 'Prague Spring', it would be embarrassing for the Soviet Union." ”
Lin Shuyao was shocked!
Because Runhua Industry has been engaged in Sino-Soviet trade in the past few years, and the trade volume has increased year by year, she knows that there is a big problem with the economy of the Soviet Union, otherwise the Soviet government and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union would not have made such efforts to carry out economic reform, but she never thought that the economy of the Soviet Union has reached such a serious level that it cannot even afford to fight a war of an interventionist and warning nature?
How is this possible?!
"Nothing is impossible, have you found any peculiarities of this regime change in Czechoslovakia?"
"What features?" Lin Shuyao thought about it and said with some uncertainty: "What you said is ...... Not many people died in this revolution. ”
"Yes, in our minds, as long as it is a revolution, it will inevitably involve bloodshed and large-scale violent conflicts, and it will even take years of struggle to achieve the goals of the revolution, but have you noticed that the revolution that took place in Czechoslovakia achieved a change of regime without a large-scale violent conflict, what do you mean by that?"
"What does this mean?"
"It means that the people of Czechoslovakia themselves are tired of the previous regime, government and even social formation, and they are impatient and eager to change the current situation, even the police and the army, which are violent organs, how terrible do you think about it?"
Lin Shuyao thought about it, and her mouth opened unconsciously wide: "This ...... It's horrible, but ......"
With her mouth open, Lin Shuyao was a little speechless and stopped.
"What?"
"Since the people of Czechoslovakia have begun to oppose socialism and the Czech Communist Party, but we are from a socialist country, will they not welcome our arrival?" Lin Shuyao was a little worried.
Lin Shuyao's worries are not groundless, since the Czechoslovakians began to hate the Soviet Union, the CPSU, the Czech Communist Party, and socialism from the bottom up, will they also hate the house and Ukraine for Chinese companies from the same socialist countries as the Soviet Union?
"There is this possibility," Chen Geng nodded, and did not deny the existence of this possibility: "But we can't stop doing business because of this, you just treat this as if we are going to open up an unfamiliar and new market." ”
Lin Shuyao was stunned for a moment, and then her face burned badly: Yes, how can she retreat because of a little possible difficulty? How is it so easy to do business?
Just when she was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, she heard Chen Geng continue: "And the situation may not be so pessimistic, our country has many differences with the Soviet Union, but it has a lot of common language with Czechoslovakia, for example, our two countries have faced huge military and political pressure from the Soviet Union for a long time, and the two countries can be regarded as having some sympathy, because of this writing, maybe we have a lot of common language with Czechoslovakia. Otherwise, our application for inspection would not have been approved by the Czechoslovak side so quickly. ”
"Hmm!" Lin Shuyao nodded vigorously, the head was right, Runhua Industrial went to Czechoslovakia this time to apply in the name of business inspection, and the approval speed of Czechoslovakia was very fast, which is enough to show the attitude of Czechoslovakia.
………………………………
Frankly speaking, Chen Geng's attitude towards Czechoslovakia is not very optimistic, and now the Czechoslovakians have a bit of a demonization of their understanding of socialism and the Communist Party, and always think that if there is no Czech Republic and socialism for so many years, their life will definitely be better, this view is very unreasonable, but it has become the consensus of the entire Czechoslovakia, even if Czechoslovakia is the first European country to establish diplomatic relations with China, but what kind of situation did he and others face after they arrived in Czechoslovakia, Chen Geng didn't dare to jump to conclusions.
"You're here to look at investments?" Wang Ke, counselor of the Embassy of the Republic in Czechoslovakia, who received Chen Geng and his entourage, said with a strong sense of incredulity: "The current Czechoslovakia is chaotic enough, why do you want to invest in Czechoslovakia?" ”
"It's just because Czechoslovakia is chaotic enough now that we come to invest," Chen Geng said with a smile: "The more you are in danger, the more opportunities we have for hateful capitalists." ”
"You guys......"
Wang Ke shook his head, his face was speechless, if he didn't already know Chen Geng's identity and background, he would really believe it, but now, he would rather believe that Chen Geng and his party came in the name of investment investigation, in fact, there was another secret mission on him, so he didn't say more: "Since this is the case, I won't say anything, if you need help from the embassy, just ask." ”
"Then you're welcome," Chen Geng really didn't know what politeness was: "Can you guarantee that you can help me find some information about Skoda cars?" ”
"Skoda car?"
"Yes, I heard that Skoda Cars is looking for a partner to carry out reforms? I think this is a good opportunity for us to Runhua Industrial. ”
“……”
Wang Ke looked at Chen Geng, he didn't know what to say, he really knew about this, but in his opinion, Chen Geng's idea was too whimsical, it was just a little cauliflower snake ready to swallow an adult African elephant alive, it was simply impossible!
After a long time, he said in a whisper: "Comrade Chen Geng, you are not mistaken, right? No matter how bad the current situation is, Skoda Motors has an annual production capacity of 200,000 units a year, and it is also a relatively influential car brand in Europe, and it has a long history...... Well, probably not what they want from their partners. ”
Even if the new production capacity is counted, the annual production capacity of Runhua Industry is less than 80,000 vehicles, and an automobile manufacturing company with an annual production capacity of less than 80,000 vehicles actually wants to annex a European car brand with an annual production capacity of up to 200,000 vehicles and a long history of nearly 100 years, which is simply a fantasy in Wang Ke's opinion!
"Counselor Wang, with all due respect, Runhua Industry is also a vehicle manufacturing group with world influence," Chen Geng said with a smile: "Runhua Industry has its own partners in many countries and regions such as Africa and the Middle East, and our products are quite well-known in these regions, and most importantly, Runhua Industry is not only growing rapidly, but also backed by China, a huge market with a population of nearly 1.1 billion and a rapidly developing economy.
Why does Skoda Cars want to find a strong partner, not to grow and develop? Not for the market space yet? But as long as they Skoda Motors cooperate with our Runhua Industry, a market with a population of 1.1 billion and unlimited potential will open up to them, I don't believe that Skoda Cars will not see it? Will you be impressed? As long as they are tempted, we have a chance. ”
Wang Kezhi rolled his eyes: What you said is so reasonable, I am speechless! (To be continued.) )
