"Ms. He, let you be right, these politicians are indeed just talking nicely." Christo said to the Chinese woman who was walking towards him.

The person who came was He Lan, who was already living in the United States. Since giving birth to a pair of twin boys, He Lan has settled in the United States and concentrated on raising these two lovely children. In the United States, single mothers are very common, no one will care who the father of the child is, and no one will gossip about her because she has a child out of wedlock, such an environment makes He Lan feel very relaxed.

The people involved in this matter have successively accepted this fait accompli, which also reassures He Lan.

First of all, Yang Xin forgave what happened between He Lan and Lin Zhenhua, and sent Lin Fei to the United States to meet the two little brothers during the summer vacation. Lin Fei's generation of children is used to things like their parents' divorce or one party's cheating, so she has no hostility towards the two younger brothers who suddenly appeared, but is happy that she is no longer an only child.

After He Haifeng and his wife learned that their daughter and Lin Zhenhua had a child, they were annoyed at first, but then they turned calm, and even felt a little relieved. They have always known that their daughter is infatuated with Lin Zhenhua and has already made up her mind not to marry for the rest of her life. In this case, being able to have two children by her daughter's side is much better than letting her spend her life alone, at least it can be regarded as having a sense of home.

Before Lin Ou and Lin Ya were one year old, He Haifeng and his wife came to the United States to live with their daughter for a period of time and help take care of their two little grandchildren. Seeing their daughter's happy expression, He Haifeng and his wife had nothing to say. In the meantime, Lin Zhenhua also went to the United States to visit He Lan and the two children, and after He Haifeng scolded him, he got together and drank a little wine. Lin Zhenhua was finally embarrassed to call He Haifeng Lao He anymore, so he could only change his name to "Dad" awkwardly, and He Haifeng agreed awkwardly.

After He Lan took maternity leave, she quit her old job. Lin Zhenhua simply handed over the North American branch of Hanhua to He Lan to take care of. It can be regarded as giving her a career of her own. The Hanhua staff of the American branch had some doubts about the relationship between the new Mr. He and Mr. Lin, but they were only limited to guessing in their hearts.

He Lan graduated from a prestigious school. is quite talented, and the business he manages is Lin Zhenhua's industry, so he is naturally even more dedicated. Under the leadership of He Lan, the business of GCA's North American branch is thriving and thriving.

This time, He Lan came to Oregon to carry out a new task entrusted by the headquarters of the Chinese Chinese Group to the North American branch, which was to acquire local wind farms. As a springboard for Hanhua wind power equipment to enter North America.

When He Lan came to the Qianshan Wind Farm, it was on the eve of Xisai's preparation to come to inspect. Christo still has some hope for the arrival of Sisai, and feels that with the power of the US government, it should be no problem to support his small wind farm. Ms. Ho made a bet with him that she didn't think the U.S. government could provide any substantial help to Mr. Christo, because the U.S. government itself was already heavily in debt. How can there be spare money to help businesses.

Sisai's embarrassing performance confirmed He Lan's prediction and made Christo completely dead. He knows. It is impossible to wait for the loan promised by the US government, and there is only one way out to recover the investment in the early stage, and that is to cooperate with the Chinese.

"Ms. He, tell us more about your situation, which company do you represent, and what are your acquisition conditions?" Christo invited He Lan and his assistant to his office and said solemnly. …,

He Lan said: "Mr. Christo, we are here to negotiate this project with you on behalf of Lansell New Energy Technology Company of the United States. Our company is a wholly owned subsidiary of China China Heavy Industries Group Corporation and is registered in the State of New York. ”

"Well, so to speak, you're a Chinese company." Christo replied.

He Lan smiled: "No, Mr. Christo, we are an American company. Although our funding is provided by a Chinese company. ”

"Of course, I know you're registered in the United States." Christo hurriedly said that the other party's company belonged to which country he had nothing to do with him, and all he cared about was what benefits he could get.

"So, how are you going to buy my wind farm?" Christo asked.

He Lan said: "We have asked someone to evaluate in advance, and the wind farm you own is worth about 8 million US dollars. Considering that you have already completed all the government permits upfront, we are willing to purchase these government permits for an additional $2 million. In other words, we intend to invest a total of $10 million to buy your wind farm. ”

"Why can't we develop this project together?" Christo asked, "The price of 10 million, for me, is just to recoup the initial investment, and this project, I think it is possible to make a profit." ”

To be honest, if it weren't for the financial difficulties, Christo really didn't want to give up this wind farm. Oregon is very rich in wind energy resources, and building a wind farm is definitely profitable. If given a choice, he would prefer to find a partner rather than simply sell the wind farm.

He Lan said: "Mr. Christo, if you are interested in operating this project, we are very willing to lease this wind farm to you after the development is completed. You use the proceeds of electricity generation to repay the lease price, and at the end of the term, you will have full ownership of the wind farm, you see. ”

"What did you say?" Surprised, Christo asked, "Aren't you buying my wind farm with your eyes on the future benefits of wind power?" ”

He Lan smiled slightly and said, "We are only interested in building wind farms, and as for operation, I don't think we have expertise in this area." ”

Christo looked at He Lan, puzzled, he really couldn't figure out why someone was only interested in building a wind farm, even if they could make some difference between the acquisition and the sale, compared to the income from power generation after completion, this difference was not worth paying attention to. Could it be that the Chinese are more concerned about the development of clean energy in the United States than President Sisay?

It's no wonder that Christo can't figure out the subtlety of this, in fact, this is a roundabout tactic for Hanhua Wind Power to enter the US market.

From the very beginning, GCA's wind power industry has been targeting the international market. With its stake in the Portuguese National Electricity Company, GCA's wind turbines have entered the Portuguese market, thus providing a stepping stone to the entire European market. Today, the offshore wind turbines that are gracefully rotating on the Portuguese coast have become a living advertisement for GCA. It attracts wind power operators from all over Europe. Following Portugal, Greece has also expressed its willingness to purchase wind turbine products to GCA.

In Africa and South America, GCA's products have a good reputation, and GCA's fans want to enter the market in these two regions. There aren't too many hurdles either. The only problem is that the economy of both continents is sluggish, and the demand for wind power is limited, so it can only be developed as a long-term market.

The U.S. market is a big fat piece for Hanhua, but in the process of entering the U.S. market, Hanhua has encountered a lot of troubles. The United States has a relatively mature wind power equipment manufacturing industry, and American power operators are also more trusting of their own products. Suspicious of products from China. GCA's sales staff went to several wind farms under construction and asked them to use GCA wind turbines, but they were all refused. …,

In this case, Lin Zhenhua thought of a solution, which was to take advantage of the shortage of funds in the United States to buy those wind farms that could not start construction due to lack of funds, and then Hanhua would provide equipment for construction. After the wind farm is completed and put into operation, the wind farm will be sold to local operators. So. Operators have no choice but to use GCA's wind turbines.

Lin Zhenhua believes that after the American operator has actually used the Hanhua fan. It is natural to understand that the quality of these fans is not inferior to that of American fans, but they have a clear advantage in terms of price. After coming and going, Hanhua fans will be able to gain a foothold in the American market.

As for the benefits of wind farm operation, which Christo is eye, GCA is not interested. Because wind power access to the grid is a complex issue, involving various entanglements with the local government and power grid operators, Hanhua is reluctant to get involved in such trivial matters. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is not this aspect of the business that Hanhua is good at.

Regarding this roundabout set of tactics, He Lan naturally wouldn't tell Christo.

"So, can we sign an agreement to lease the wind farm in the future now?" Christo asked impatiently.

"Absolutely." He Lan replied. "It will take us eight months to build this wind farm with an installed capacity of 400 megawatts. In the future, we will lease the completed wind farm to you for $40 million. Do you think this price is appropriate? ”

"Totally suitable." Christo was overjoyed, even if he built it himself, I am afraid it would cost 40 million before and after. Now the Chinese are building the wind farm with interest and leasing it to him at a price of 40 million, which is really too favorable.

"By the way, there's one thing I need to explain to you beforehand before we sign the next agreement. We will use wind turbines from China to build this wind farm, do you have no problem with that? He Lan asked.

"Chinese fan?" Christo hesitated, "Ms. He, why can't you use our American wind turbines?" ”

He Lan smiled slightly: "Mr. Christo, the quality of Chinese fans is not worse than that of American fans, but the price can be cheaper by more than 20%, and the after-sales service is more thoughtful." You can rest assured that during your lease of our wind farm, the non-man-made damage to the wind turbine will be repaired free of charge by the manufacturer, and you will not have any business risks. ”

"If that's the case, I have no objection at all." Christo readily agreed.

For Christo, it doesn't matter whose fan he uses, all he cares about is the quality of the fan and after-sales service. In recent years, a large number of Chinese goods have entered the United States, and when you go to the supermarket, you can see the Made_in_China logo, and no American will feel that there is anything inappropriate to use Chinese products.

The people who talk about the competition between China and the United States are just politicians like Sisai. In fact, even these politicians themselves hold shares of China's listed companies. Who would dare to believe that they can represent the interests of the United States, clamoring to contain China on the one hand, and on the other hand, being shareholders of Chinese companies?

Christo hired his own lawyer, and together with the lawyer brought by He Lan, carefully reviewed the relevant contracts, and finally sold the Qianshan wind farm to Lansell for $10 million. The contract also stipulates that Christo will be responsible for assisting Lansell in completing some subsequent administrative approval procedures, including the import procedures required to import wind turbines from China, which are not too troublesome for an American businessman like Christo.

After the signing was completed, He Lan asked Christo: "Mr. Christo, do you have any other peers you are familiar with, and they are also facing some temporary financial difficulties like you?" ”…,

"What, are you planning to buy more wind farms?" Christo asked in surprise.

He Lan smiled slightly and said, "If the conditions are right, we will not refuse to acquire a few more." ”

"Cake sellers, you Chinese are so rich." "It's true that I know a lot of people who run wind farms, and they're in a very similar situation to me, who can't get enough loans from the bank and are struggling right now." However, I don't think they are all willing to sell the wind farm. ”

He Lan said: "It doesn't matter. If they are willing to sell, we can buy it in full. If they are not willing to sell, we are also very interested in providing them with a partial loan, however, this loan is conditional. ”

"You mean...... They have to buy wind turbines from China, right? "Christo isn't stupid, he's figured it out.

He Lan said: "That's right. ”

"I don't think there's a problem." "We don't have anything to do with the American wind turbine manufacturers, in fact, these manufacturers are insatiable guys who are never willing to give us even a little profit. If the quality can be guaranteed, I think my peers are also more willing to deal with the Chinese. Well, I'll help you connect with my peers right now. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Christo." "If you can help us facilitate these transactions, I think we can pay you a certain amount of commission." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
