Sarmiento was a little disappointed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with the little-known Runhua industry, Argentina obviously hopes to introduce Wolfsburg automobiles, which have been deeply cultivated in Brazil for many years and even have a huge brand influence in the entire South America, but Wolfsburg is not interested in Argentina and is not surprised, Argentina's market capacity is too small after all, and their Brazilian factory produces a little more, which is enough to meet the needs of Argentina, and there is indeed no need to build a separate factory in Argentina.
So although he was rejected by Chen Geng, Sarmiento was a little disappointed, but he was not too disappointed, he licked his lips and said, "So...... Mr. Chen Geng, what is your plan for Argentina's policy of 'revitalizing the national automobile industry'? ”
Chen Geng did not answer this question, but changed the topic and asked Sarmiento: "Mr. Sarmiento, according to the information we have, after President Menem came to power, he passed the "Argentine National Reform Law" in the shortest possible time, which clearly stipulates that except for the military industry, nuclear industry, nuclear power and the three state-owned media, all other enterprises are allowed to operate as sole proprietorships of private and foreign-funded enterprises, right?" ”
Isn't Runhua going to work with Diesel Avellaneda S.A.? Sarmiento's heart was sudden, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "That's right, that's the case, if Runhua Industrial plans to set up a wholly-owned factory in Argentina, of course, it's no problem, but we still hope that your company can support our policy ......"
Without waiting for Saramiento to finish speaking, Chen Geng immediately asked: "Of course, there is no problem in supporting your policy, but what kind of benefits can we get if Runhua Industrial chooses to cooperate with Diesel Avellaneda S.A.?" ”
Sarmiento understood what Chen Geng meant, if there are enough benefits, of course it is no problem to cooperate with Diesel Avellaneda S.A., but the premise is that your Menem government can come up with something to impress me?
"We can help you coordinate the loan ......"
Without waiting for Sarmiento to finish speaking, Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Sarmiento, are you sure you are not mistaken?" As a technology provider, do we still need a loan? You shouldn't say this to me, you should say it to the board of directors of Diesel Avellaneda S.A. ”
Seeing that Sarmiento was about to speak, Chen Geng waved his hand: "Let me talk about the conditions on our side of Runhua Industry, we can cooperate with your Diesel Avellaneda S.A. company, and we can also support your government's plan to 'revitalize the national automobile industry', if everything goes well, we can invest in Argentina with an annual output of 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles, a large-scale comprehensive automobile production base that can produce cars and light trucks at the same time, if Argentina's future economic situation is good, It is not excluded that there is a physical production capacity, but the premise of all this is that your government, or Mr. Carlos Rafael Menem, is willing to show enough sincerity," looked at Sarmiento with a smile, and Chen Geng said: "Mr. Sarmiento, am I right?" ”
"You...... How do you know ......" Sarmiento pointed at Chen Geng, his face shocked.
When he heard Chen Geng mention the name Carlos Rafael Menem, he immediately realized that Chen Geng already knew about the relationship between Mr. President and Diesel Avellaneda S.A.
"How do I know about the relationship between Diesel Avellaneda S.A. and Carlos Rafael Menem?" Chen Geng smiled and said lightly: "Our Runhua Industry is relatively rich, and it is a coincidence, there are really not many things in this world that cannot be solved with money." ”
Sarmiento's face flushed!
He originally thought that the Chinese did not understand the situation in Argentina, thinking about using this kind of information asymmetry to bluff Chen Geng, even if he found himself fooled after going to Argentina in the future, and had a contract in his hand, he was not worried about what storms the Chinese turned over, but he did not expect that Chen Geng in front of him was a unique alternative, and he actually knew the situation in Argentina in such detail - it was really a dog!
But when it comes to this, Sarmiento is relaxed: since the other party already knows the hole cards on his side, then everyone should not be like a fool to test it, simply a little bit, all of them are lifted up their hole cards. Taking a deep breath, Sarmiento said: "Mr. Chen Geng, in this case, can I understand that even if you know about the relationship between Diesel Avellaneda S.A. and Mr. Menem, you still decided to invest in Argentina?" ”
Chen Geng nodded: "I'm a businessman, as long as I have money to make, do you think I will care about the relationship between Diesel Avellaneda S.A. and Mr. President?" ”
"Uh......"
Sarmiento was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chen Geng with a strange expression, and his eyes were ...... Well, it's like looking at an alternative.
Alternative?
That's right, it's different.
Perhaps it is too deeply affected by the scandalous propaganda of the Western world, even as a counselor of the Argentine Embassy in China, Sarmiento's view of China is not much different from that of ordinary people in the Western world, and he always feels that Chinese is ready to subvert the entire famous world at any time, but now he is really a little uncomfortable to see that Chen Geng is actually like many Western companies, for the purpose of making money.
Chen Geng was a little uncomfortable by Sarmi Ento's eyes: "What's the matter?" ”
"Oh? Oooh...... It's nothing," Sarmiento quickly shook his head, but the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, as if a person who had just arrived in a foreign country suddenly discovered his compatriots, and said seriously and happily: "Of course, I promise that you will make money when you arrive in Argentina......"
"We won't talk about these meaningless things," Chen Geng waved his hand to interrupt Sarmiento: "Mr. Counselor, since we all know what is going on, let's not beat around the bush, you can tell me straight, what is Mr. Menem going to do?" What kind of terms of cooperation can he come up with? What do you want? ”
Just like Chen Geng said, since everyone has understood what is going on, there is no need to go around in circles, Sarmiento did not sell the guanzi, and said simply: "As part of the plan of Mr. President's 'revitalization of the Argentine automobile industry', your Runhua Industry must cooperate with Diesel Avellaneda S. A. The company cooperated to run the project and must be an Argentinian car brand. ”
"Oh......" Chen Geng answered, nodded and motioned for Sarmiento to continue.
"In this project, Diesel Avellaneda S.A. will have at least 30% of the shares, and you will have to ...... all the capital, technology and production equipment," said I. Sarmiento.
Without waiting for Sarmiento to finish speaking, Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Sarmiento, such conditions of cooperation ...... Are you sure you're not kidding? ”
"Of course I'm not kidding......"
Chen Geng didn't plan to continue talking with the stupid X in front of him, it would be a waste of his time to talk any further: "Since that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about, Mr. Sarmiento, I wish you to find a partner as soon as possible." ”
What the? Chen Geng's resolute attitude made Sarmiento directly dumbfounded: "You...... What do you mean? ”
"What do I mean?" Chen Geng shook his head helplessly: "What I mean is that Runhua Industry is not interested in your project, well, I finally understand why no European, American and Japanese automobile manufacturing companies are interested in your plan until now, who will be interested in such cooperation conditions?" ”
Do you want to have a stake in the factory? No problem; Do you plan to use this project to promote your plan to "revitalize the national automobile industry"? It's no problem, but if you treat others as fools, then there's a big problem, listen to your conditions, and all the benefits of the joint are taken by your family?
Dream on!
Chen Geng was reluctant to talk about it anymore, but Sarmiento was a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Chen, you have to think clearly, we have a population of more than 30 million in Argentina, which is a huge market ......"
"More than 30 million people are embarrassed to call it a big market?" Chen Geng didn't think this joke was funny at all, and he looked at Samiento with disdain: "Then do you know how many people we have in China?" I heard that in 1990, you Argentina produced less than 60,000 cars? Do you know what was the annual production of passenger cars and trucks in our country in 1990? Tell you, add up to more than 700,000 units! ”
In the face of a huge market with a capacity of at least 40 times that of yours and an annual output of more than 10 times that of yours, where do you have the confidence to say this to me? The most important thing is that the economy of the Republic has continued to grow at a very high rate over the years, and you in Argentina have also grown at a very high rate...... However, it is not the level of the economy that is growing, but the level of price inflation and the level of economic deterioration.
Sarmiento understood what Chen Geng meant, so after realizing that his previous plan didn't work, he took a deep breath and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Mr. Chen, if you are not satisfied with our conditions, can you discuss, I don't know what your conditions are?" Either way, there's nothing non-negotiable, right? ”
Chen Geng looked at Sarmiento, who was trying to squeeze out a smile, expressionlessly, and only then nodded: "Okay, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, please tell Mr. President that Runhua Industrial can support his plan to 'revitalize Argentina's national automobile industry', so that he has enough capital to show off in front of the voters, and he can also accept Diesel Avellaneda S. A. The company has the requirement of a certain number of shares, but it is better for him to understand that if he gets it, he must pay for it, and if he gets what he wants, he must pay enough benefits. ”
"For example......" Sarmiento asked tentatively.
Chen Geng: "In the future, the cars produced by the joint venture between Runhua Industry and Diesel Avellaneda S.A. must enter the procurement sequence of Argentine government official vehicles and military vehicles, and must purchase a certain amount every year - don't look at me like that, this is not to discuss with you, but to tell you that this is the condition of Runhua Industry." ”
As to the question of whether a counsellor is qualified to convey his conditions directly to Mr. President, since a counsellor is qualified to sit here and talk to himself about it, what else is impossible?
I just wanted to say, "This can't be!" It is impossible for Mr. President to agree to such conditions! Samianto, what he wanted to say was blocked by Chen Geng, his mouth moved a few times, and finally he said helplessly: "I will convey your meaning to Mr. President, but does Mr. President ......agree?"
"I'm sure Mr. President will agree," Chen Geng interrupted Sarmiento again, and continued: "Second, since Diesel Avellaneda S.A. is a partner, it must fulfill the corresponding cooperation responsibilities, and the Argentine government must provide corresponding government loans for this cooperation project...... Well, that's the main thing. ”
Is this still the main thing? Sarmiento was about to cry, but after Chen Geng punctured his painting skin, Sarmiento knew that he didn't have any capital to bargain with Chen Geng, and he was a messenger. Taking a breath, Sarmiento said in a deep voice, "I will convey your meaning to Mr. President as soon as possible." ”
Chen Geng nodded: "Oh, by the way, if necessary, Runhua Industry can also introduce motorcycles suitable for Argentina to Argentina." ”
……………………
"That's the rough picture." After reporting the conditions of Runhua Industrial to President Menem in a frightened manner, Sarriento said cautiously, lest he would incur the wrath of His Excellency the President.
But instead of delivering the goods, Menem smiled after listening to Sarmiento's report: "That's all? ”
That's it? Mr. President's tone, which was clearly the calm before the explosion, Sarmiento said in horror: "Yes, that's all, but ......"
"Promise him!" Before Sarmiento could finish speaking, Menem said.
"What?" Sarmiento thought something was wrong with his ears.
"I am willing to talk to him about these conditions of Runhua Industry," Menem seemed very happy: "The Chinese are still very sincere, since the Chinese are so sincere, why not talk to them?" ”
