"Hello Comrade Chen Geng, I am Ding Ruoyan from the Liaison Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," on the phone, Ding Ruoyan said to Chen Geng with a glance: "Here is a fax to your company, please accept it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Okay, thank you," listening to Ding Ruoyan's speech, Chen Gengqiang couldn't help but smile, and responded seriously, with a businesslike tone: "May I ask what kind of document is this?" ”

"This is some relevant information about Argentina sent by the Argentine Embassy, well, another news to tell you, for the Argentine Menem government's plan to 'revitalize the national automobile industry', basically not approved by the major car manufacturers in various countries, but I don't really recommend you to invest in Argentina."

"Oh, why?"

"Argentina's current economic situation and social security situation is very bad, and everyone is more cautious about investing and building factories in Argentina," Comrade Ding Ruoyan expressed his satisfaction with Comrade Chen Geng's knowledge, feelings, and interests: "In addition, I would like to give you a piece of news, in the past 1990, Argentina's total annual automobile production did not exceed 60,000 vehicles, which is all the data including all kinds of passenger cars and trucks. ”

"it!" Chen Geng burst into foul language, a country with a relatively developed economy and a total population of more than 30 million, the annual output of various types of cars in a year is not as good as 60,000 units? !

Forgive the pig's feet for being uneducated, except for this sentence "! He really has no other words to vividly express the shock in his heart.

"No swearing!" Ding Ruoyan, who finally missed Chen Geng, was instantly ruined by Chen Geng's words, and said coquettishly: "How many times have you told you that you are not allowed to swear, you are not allowed to swear, you are not allowed to swear, you are a person, do you take my words as a deaf ear?" ”

"Oh? Oh, I'm so excited," Chen Geng reacted: "Thank you, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law has helped me a lot, well, ......."

……………………

Taking advantage of Old Man Xie's rush over, Chen Geng first browsed the faxed materials.

The materials collected and sorted out by the Embassy of the Republic in Argentina are absolutely first-hand, the most reliable and original materials, especially those specially marked with underlining, and Chen Geng attaches great importance to them.

After reading these materials, Chen Geng knew that Argentina's ancestors were so broad: as early as 90 years ago in 1900, Argentina's tertiary industry had accounted for 45% of the gross national product, which is a typical sign of completed industrialized countries, in fact, it is indeed the case, Argentina in 1900 has completed the early industrial revolution, the primary, secondary and tertiary industries accounted for 32%, 23% and 45% of the gross national product respectively, with a unique economic structure and geographical advantages, Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world at the end of the 19th century, second only to England, the empire on which the sun never sets, and the United States, the world's future boss that is developing rapidly, and is the third largest developed country in the world, with a per capita income higher than that of Germany, France and Sweden. I don't know how many streets I got rid of the little devil for a long time.

It's a pity that such a good foundation, Argentina is its own death, from the beginning of the 20th actual, Argentina kept breaking out of economic crisis, finally after the Second World War, the Argentine government began to brain-pump, began to emphasize de-industrialization, simply put, under the flickering of the West, Argentina began to strengthen the so-called "international division of labor", Argentina sold primary products to Europe, in exchange for manufactured goods and capital, the result is that Argentina seems to have made money, but lost the opportunity to develop industry, Worse still, it caused a serious financial crisis - in 1959, Argentina had a debt of $200 million due, but only $104 million in its treasury at that time.

In order to solve the problem, the Argentine government resorted to the most stupid tricks: mass dismantling of government and public sector personnel, a sharp depreciation of the Argentine peso at a single exchange rate, incremental currency issuance, borrowing and raising taxes.

One can imagine the consequences of this: a large number of businesses closed or could barely survive, inflation and prices skyrocketed, which eventually led directly to the military coup d'état of 1962.

But like any country ruled by a military junta, things were getting worse in Argentina under the military junta, and by 1981 the Argentine economy was on the verge of collapse, with the Argentine peso depreciating by more than 400 percent, annual inflation exceeding 100 percent, and mortgage rates as high as 100 percent...... This is the economic crisis! And it's an economic crisis that could kill Argentina!

It was at this time that the Anglo-Argentine naval war broke out, and Britain, the United States, and other major developed capitalist countries in the world imposed an economic blockade on Argentina, and Argentina's economy fell into a full-scale crisis, and in this year and the following year, Argentina's inflation rate soared to 688 percent -- and if it continued to soar, it was estimated that it would be similar to the national control area during the War of Liberation.

It was also in this year that the sovereign debt crisis of Latin American countries broke out in full swing, and the entire Latin American region, including Argentina, fell into an economic and financial crisis that has not ended to this day!

"It's a headache," Chen Geng said with a wry smile to Old Man Xie: "I don't know if I don't see it, I'm really shocked to see it, the monthly inflation rate is as high as 196%,!" The annual inflation rate of our country is about 20%, and our central government feels that the sky is about to fall, and the monthly inflation rate of others has reached 196%. ”

"What is this, there is even more exaggerated," Old Man Xie pouted, with a "You are really rare and weird!" "From 1989 to 1990, Argentina's consumer price growth rate was 20,594%, more than 200 times, and what used to sell for 1 yuan is now selling for 205.94!" it! Unless they don't want to live, the Argentines really can't reform anymore. ”

Old Man Xie, who has always paid attention to his personal image, couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

Chen Geng agreed with Old Man Xie's words: It's not that if you don't reform, you won't be able to do it, if you don't reform, you will really die.

After Old Man Xie finished speaking, his brows furrowed: "But then the problem is a bit serious, Argentina's economic situation is so bad, the most terrible thing is that I don't know when it will get better, so rashly investing, the risk is too great." ”

Yes, there are too many uncontrollable risks in a country with such a bad economic situation, and the worst thing is that when the economic situation of a country begins to deteriorate, it is usually accompanied by another very serious situation: the security situation is worse than the economic situation.

The economic situation is not good, the investment climate is bad, is it necessary to invest in such a place? Now, it is no wonder that after Argentina's statement, not even one of the automobile manufacturers in Japan, the United States, Europe and other regions has responded to the call of the Argentine government: such a bad place, fools to invest!

"If others don't go, it doesn't mean that there is no opportunity," Chen Geng pondered for a while before he said: "Others have reasons and capital to pick and choose, but we don't have Runhua Industry, and the suitable market has already been carved up, how can it be our turn?" ”

If you want to occupy a place in the world automobile market, it is certainly not enough to rely on the domestic market alone, and Runhua Industry must go out!

Old Man Xie frowned: "I understand all this, but the situation in Argentina is really bad, you look at their annual production in the past 1990?" There are less than 60,000 of them! In such a large country, with nearly 30 million people, the annual production of various types of cars combined is less than 60,000 units! It is about the same as the output of our Runhua Industry, what does this mean? This shows that Argentina's automobile industry is very underdeveloped and immature, and even the basic supporting facilities cannot be completed. ”

Indeed, what Old Man Xie said is also reasonable. Chen Geng frowned, silent, and suddenly, he spoke: "I think there is something wrong with our thinking. ”

"Something wrong with our thinking?" Old Man Xie was stunned for a moment.

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded: "The two of us just went astray, and subconsciously thought about the development of an automobile factory according to the complete industrial system that has been basically formed in our country, but forgot the industrial status quo of Argentina!" ”

What is the current state of industry in Argentina? Old Man Xie hurriedly looked through the information on Argentina that Chen Geng specially prepared for himself, and when he found the industrial structure and industrial development of Argentina, the expression on his face became crying and laughing: there is almost no heavy industry!

What is the automotive industry? That's proper heavy industry!

As for Argentina's automobile industry, 100% are foreign-funded enterprises, Argentina itself does not have any national car brands, all automobile manufacturing enterprises in Argentina are European and American automobile companies in Argentina to open branches, and Argentina does not even have the opportunity to do supporting for these branches, the entire Argentine automobile industry is a full set of parts imported assembly CKD!

It is equivalent to saying that Argentina does not even have a little foundation for the automobile industry, and without the input of external spare parts, Argentina cannot even produce the simplest stamping dies on automobiles!

Chen Geng continued: "As far as the current situation of the Argentine automobile industry is concerned, it does not even have the most basic supporting capacity. ”

Speaking of the back, Chen Geng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Old man Xie agreed with Chen Geng's words, otherwise why wouldn't the major auto giants listen to the call of the Argentine government at all, you have such a small market, it is not enough trouble to build a factory, Lao Tzu is too lazy to serve!

Chen Geng continued: "But it is precisely because of this that we have the opportunity to enter the South American automobile market - the Argentine government said that they intend to develop and revitalize the national automobile industry, right?" ”

"That's right." Old man Xie was a little inexplicable.

"But look at the Argentine State Reform Law, which was passed by the Argentine parliament in August 1989, which redefined the role of public enterprises by way of legislation through the full privatization of state-owned enterprises!" Pointing to this paragraph of text on the document, Chen Geng said excitedly: "Old man, think about it in combination with the feedback of automobile manufacturers in various countries on the Argentine government's move, what does this mean?" ”

"This means ......" Thinking of the cold reaction of the auto giants from various countries to the Argentine government, Mr. Xie's eyes widened suddenly: "There is quite a lot of flexibility in this!" ”

"That's right, that's what it means!" Chen Geng snapped his fingers excitedly and said: "For the government of any country, the word "face" represents the dignity of a country and a government, and the current government of Argentina is naturally no exception. ”

"That's right."

"Now that Argentina has sent an invitation to car manufacturers all over the world, the reality is that no one pays attention to them, and the current Menem government must not look good, right?"

"Of course." Old Man Xie's face was full of smiles.

"After the Menem government came to power, it immediately passed the "Argentine National Reform Law" in the parliament, not only through the full privatization of state-owned enterprises in the form of haircuts, but also clearly stipulates that except for a small number of enterprises such as the military industry, nuclear industry, nuclear power, and three state-owned media, nearly 100% of state-owned enterprises are sold to private capital," Chen Geng excitedly patted on the information: "As long as we meet the requirements of Argentina to develop the national automobile industry, even if it is CDK assembly, As long as Argentina is given a chance to promote its national automobile industry, the other problems are still serious? Of course it doesn't matter! As for who this capital belongs to......"

"This doesn't matter anymore, it depends on how the media publicizes!" Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Old Man Xie had already taken the words and said excitedly: "The Argentine government itself will desperately promote us as Argentina's own national car brand, even if we own more than 90% of the company's shares." ”

"yes, that's what I thought." As far as Chen Geng's line of sight could see, there were a few lines written on it:

fully open the market, especially the opening up of the financial industry and other service industries, and the lifting of restrictions on imports and exports;

opening up the market to foreign capital to the greatest extent;

further financial openness and liberalization, comprehensive reform of the fiscal, monetary, financial and exchange systems, and complete liberalization;

central banks loosen control over savings and credit;

The central bank is not acting as a lender of last resort......

Each of these articles and each paragraph represents a huge profit, compared with the huge profit hidden in it, what is this risk?!

As for the chaos of public order...... Ha! Presumably, there should be a lot of private security companies in Argentina at this time, right? It is estimated that there are many outlaws who don't want to die for money? In that case, isn't that ......
