Chapter 802: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

"Huh......" Old man Xie, who was looking through the information, suddenly exclaimed: "This company that is going to build an Argentine national car brand is a bit strange." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What's so strange?"

"Look at the connection between these companies," Old Man Xie spread a few documents in front of Chen Geng: "Have you noticed anything?" ”

These companies, there are rubber companies, there are car repair companies, the most special is this company called Diesel Avellaneda S.A., the slogan of building Argentina's national automobile industry is also put forward by this company, it is said to be the largest auto repair plant in Argentina, but also has the ability to assemble cars. Looking at these seemingly unrelated companies, Chen Geng's brows also wrinkled: "It seems to be ...... Seems a little wrong? ”

Although he couldn't say what was wrong, with his intuition, Chen Geng always felt that there was some kind of connection between these companies.

"You feel that way too? That's right," Old Man Xie slapped on these pieces of information: "Then find someone to check, maybe you can give us some surprises?" ”

Facts have proved that Mr. Xie's intuition is really right, and the results of the investigation by a special investigation company really gave Chen Geng a big surprise: these companies were once owned by the Argentine government, but in the wave of privatization that began in Argentina in August 89, these companies were acquired and privatized one after another.

Privatization is not a problem, but behind these companies? Including this Diesel Avellaneda S.A., it also pointed to the same person: Carlos Rafael Menem, the youngest son of the current president of Argentina, Carlos Saul Menem.

"So that's what happened!" After figuring out what the situation was, Chen Geng was a little speechless.

When we know that Diesel Avellaneda S.A., which claims to attract global investment and build Argentina's own national automobile industry, has a relationship with Argentina's current president, Menem, everything is easy to understand: what is to build Argentina's own national automobile industry is simply President Menem's private money for himself.

Of course, Menem is Argentine, and if the Diesel Avellaneda S.A. company can really succeed in introducing advanced Western car manufacturing technology, it would be right to say that they are Argentine's own car brand......

"That's not right," Old Man Xie smacked his lips: "Since we can know about this relationship, there is no reason why Europeans, RB and Americans don't know, since they all know, why are they still so cold in their reaction to Menem?" ”

"There must be something else going on here!"

Old Man Xie and Chen Geng glanced at each other and said in unison.

"That's right, there must be something in this that we don't know," Old Man Xie pursed his lips, his expression a little serious: "Although I don't know what it is, it must be very crucial." ”

"Then start with President Menem's whole person," Chen Geng said decisively: "Even if you can't find direct information, you can find some indirect evidence." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Geng suddenly remembered one thing, it is said that this year, Menem cooperated with Monsanto, the world's largest agricultural company, to introduce genetically modified soybeans, which led to the bankruptcy of more than 2 million farmers who grow traditional soybeans in Argentina, and Menem earned more than $1 million in bribes for allowing Monsanto to enter Argentina - which is enough to show the greed of Menem himself: for a mere $1 million, he sold 2 million Argentine farmers.

What else can I think of about this Menem?

After all, Argentina is a South American country, compared to Europe, North America and Asia, which Chen Geng is more familiar with, the South American market is like a small country place, in the eyes of many people, Argentina has two things: football and Maradona, as for the others?

Gone!

However, Menem is also the president of a country, and he has been elected for two consecutive terms, Chen Geng has also traveled to Brazil countless times, and even if Chen Geng does not deliberately understand Argentina, Brazil's neighbor, he still knows some ...... Come to think of it! After the expiration of his second term, in 2001, Menem was ordered under house arrest by the Argentine government on suspicion of reselling arms @ fire, and President Menem became the first democratically elected president in Argentine history to be imprisoned for a criminal case!

And that's not all, in '04, it seems that Argentina also issued a red international arrest warrant to the former president? It seems to have something to do with the construction of two prisons at an overcost?

That's how it should be!

While this cannot exclude the internal power struggle at the top of Argentina, there is no doubt that President Menem is not a very qualified president...... Also, how many people can be presidents who are not big fools? So is this Diesel Avellaneda S.A. a pair of white gloves for Menem to make money for himself?

Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain why none of the international car companies were indifferent to Argentina's slogan of "building Argentina's own national automobile industry".

Seeing that Chen Geng was silent, Old Man Xie asked, "What did you think of?" ”

Old Man Xie did not answer, but asked: "Old man, do you think a president who has started comprehensive privatization is a good president?" ”

"Definitely not!" Old man Xie said without hesitation: "Privatization can stimulate and develop productive forces to the greatest extent, but if a country is privatized, it will be a big mess. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Chen Geng nodded.

Old Man Xie frowned: "You mean we gave up?" ”

"Of course not," Chen Geng laughed: "On the contrary, let's say hello to the Argentine Embassy in China and ask them to convey our meaning to Menem, what do you think?" ”

"Surprise the snake?" Old Man Xie immediately understood what Chen Geng meant, and his eyes lit up suddenly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ”

No matter what the calculation of this President Menem is, his ultimate goal is to hope that someone will take the bait, and for Runhua Industrial, this is his own chance, as for who loses and who wins in the end - wait and see.

………………………………

Sarmiento, Counselor of the Argentine Embassy in China, knocked on Ambassador CapitaniΔ‡'s office with a strange expression: "Sir, there is a document you need to see. ”

Capitanich nodded, motioned for Sarmiento to put the information on the table, and asked casually, "What is it?" ”

"A Chinese company should participate in the plan of His Excellency the President to build a national automobile industry." Sarmiento's expression grew more and more strange.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Capitanich, who was caught off guard, suddenly coughed, and after a while, he looked at Sarmiento helplessly: "Mr. Sarmiento, this joke is not funny at all. ”

Sarmiento nodded affirmatively: "Actually, it's true, they want to know all the details of this project, and this company is Runhua Industrial." ”

"Runhua Industrial? Are they really? Kapitanich frowned.

Of course, he is no stranger to this company, as long as he often watches the republic's television programs and often reads the republic's newspapers, he will not be a stranger to this company, in Kapitanic's view, this Chinese national car brand is a completely different from other Chinese companies, this Chinese enterprise is almost the most publicized company in this country, of course, it is said that this company is very powerful.

"That's right, it's the Runhua Industry you know." Sarmiento affirmed.

"That's kind of interesting," Kapitanich laughed, "I remember some time ago there was a report that they were going to take a stake in Wolfsburg Motors in Germany, and at the same time they would buy Skoda Cars in Czechoslovakia together with Wolfsburg Cars, and it seems that they also have cooperative relations with several European car manufacturers, right?" ”

"Yes."

"That's interesting," Capitanich muttered, "I thought he was a stupid boy who didn't understand anything, but now that doesn't seem to be the case?" ”

Although I don't know what the slogan of "revitalizing Argentina's national automobile industry" is, as Argentines and people in a relatively high position in the Argentine government, Picatanich and Sarmiento certainly know that this "revitalization of Argentina's own national automobile industry" is not so simple, otherwise the main body of this plan will not be Diesel Avellaneda S.A., but ......

"Whatever!" KapitaniΔ‡ didn't bother to think about it, waved his hand and said, "Then give him what they wantβ€”it's all useless stuff anyway." ”

Sarmiento, who retired from the office of His Excellency the Ambassador, was somewhat sympathetic to Runhua Industrial and his young boss, and he hesitated to warn this idiot not to mix casually, didn't he see that those international auto giants were not moving...... By the way, you can also make a little money yourself?

That's a great idea, so do it!

After making up his mind, Sarmiento dialed the phone number left by Runhua Industrial: "Is it Runhua Industrial?" I am Sarmiento, Counsellor of the Argentine Embassy in China, and yes, I hope that Mr. Chen can come and interview me with some information about the 'revitalization of the national automobile industry' in China...... No, no, no, it's nothing, it's just that there are some things that involve our secrets and need me to explain to Mr. Chen personally. ”
