504 Industrial chain
Although the matter of cooperating with Zavez was an inspiration of Lin Zhenhua, it was by no means a reckless move. Venezuela is one of the wealthier countries in South America because of its abundant oil resources. Zavez is a very fanatical nationalist, and since becoming president, he has always held high the banner of anti-American and anti-Western. It was from his political stance that Lin Zhenhua saw the opportunity for cooperation between the two sides.
No matter how strong Zavez is, Venezuela is a small country after all, the industrial system is incomplete, and if he wants to maintain economic independence under Western pressure, he will inevitably have to seek the support of other great powers, and China is undoubtedly a very suitable partner.
Since three years ago, Lin Zhenhua has shifted the focus of Hanhua's market development to Latin America, which of course does not mean that he has given up Africa, but that Hanhua has a very solid position in Africa, and now it is time to develop Latin America. As Zawiz said, Latin America is much richer than Africa, and can accept higher technology levels and higher prices of equipment, which is also very beneficial for promoting Hanhua's technological upgrading.
It is precisely because of these considerations that Lin Zhenhua decided to meet with the political strongman and talk about cooperation between the two sides the moment he heard Zavez's speech. He wasn't worried about what he would lose by cooperating with Zawitz, and according to his impression, this benevolent brother was quite reckless and quite trustworthy.
The only thing Lin Zhenhua didn't expect was that Zavetz actually expected such a cooperation more than him, so that Lin Zhenhua could negotiate the price.
Here, a smile appeared on Lin Zhenhua's face, and he said: "Mr. Zaviz is really a cheerful person, since this is the case, there is no need to be polite between us." Can you clearly state what kind of industrial equipment you have obtained from us? ”
Zavez gave one of his assistants a look, and the assistant stepped forward and began to talk to Lin Zhenhua in a whisper. According to his self-introduction, his name is Aldoni, he studied in the United States in his early years, majored in mechanical engineering, and is currently working as a chief engineer in a large foreign-funded company in Venezuela. Although he is in a foreign company, he, like Zavez, has a strong "Venezuelan heart" and is bent on developing an independent national industry, so he joined Zavez's party and became an important backbone.
At this point, Zavez interjected that if he was elected president, he would definitely appoint Ordoni as the country's minister of planning and development in charge of economic work.
"What we want to do is to make sure that the Venezuelan people no longer have to buy Western industrial goods." The future Minister of Planning and Development concluded his speech with such a bold statement.
As he spoke, Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang kept making records, listing a large number of projects built by Ordoni Xiwang, including military industry, steel, automobiles, daily chemicals, home appliances, clothing, etc., which can also be regarded as everything. However, Lin Zhenhua noticed an interesting phenomenon, that is, it did not include the manufacturing of large-scale industrial equipment.
"Venezuela is a small country." Aldoni seemed to see Lin Zhenhua's thoughts, and he explained: "We can't afford to support a complete industrial chain. For example, the 450,000 tons of ethylene project that you are building for us, I think, it is unrealistic for us to master this kind of technology and manufacturing capacity ourselves. ”
"Mr. Aldoni is very right." Lin Zhenhua nodded in agreement, and secretly admired Aldoni a little more in his heart. Zavez had repeatedly said that he wanted to build a complete industrial system, but Ordoni, as Zavez's henchman, did not blindly obey, but put forward the requirements of industrial construction according to a reasonable idea. ..., on this shijie, the countries that can have a complete industrial system are the United States, Russia and China. Although the industrial level of Germany, Japan, Britain, France and other countries is very high, they dare not say that their systems are complete, they have their own division of labor with each other, focusing on some of the fields, and it is precisely because of this that they can do more professional in their own fields.
As for a country like Venezuela, to say that the complete industrial system is more of a propaganda need, which is actually impossible to do, and it is not necessary to do it. For example, even China has made great efforts to master a technology like large ethylene equipment, and a country like Venezuela is completely unnecessary to spend the same amount of effort to develop this technology, and it is more cost-effective to import it directly from abroad.
Aldoni's design is perfect for GCA. GCA itself is engaged in equipment manufacturing, and GCA's petrochemical equipment and machine tools and other products can just meet the requirements put forward by Aldoni. As for steel equipment, automotive equipment, etc., Hanhua is not good at it, but Lin Zhenhua can bring these needs back to China, and then there will be a bunch of equipment manufacturers sitting in rows, waiting for Lin Zhenhua to share the fruit.
"Mr. Lin, what I said is just a preliminary idea. I don't have any experience in how these projects should be configured, the scale of each project, the basic conditions, etc., so can you ask Mr. Lin to invite some experts from China to give us guidance? Aldoni said modestly that he was an engineer by birth, and he was very rigorous in what he said and did, and he would not pretend to understand.
"That's totally fine." Lin Zhenhua patted his chest and said, "In this way, after I return to China, I will contact a few senior experts in industry for you, and if they are interested and their physical condition allows, I will introduce them to work in Venezuela." ”
When Lin Zhenhua said this, Yijing thought about all the candidates in his mind. There is no doubt that Zhu Jinwen, the former director of the Machinery Commission, is the most suitable candidate. When he introduced the five small industries to his African brothers, Lin Zhenhua still remembers the scene of Zhu Jinwen talking eloquently, and he should be fully competent to ask him to come out of the mountains to Venezuela as a consultant.
"Great, Mr. Lin, we're waiting for your news." Zavez said to Lin Zhenhua.
"Then you ...... in China," Lin Zhenhua stopped in the middle of his words, waiting for Zavez to reply.
Zavetz waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "We have a parliamentary election soon, and we are sure of more than two-thirds of the seats." At that time, we can ask the government to start construction of these industrial projects designed by Ordoni in the name of Congress, and the partner will naturally be a Chinese manufacturer. ”
"Okay, Mr. Aldoni, when it comes to specific business, you can contact me. I'll be in South America all the time for the next six months, probably most of the time in Venezuela. Chu Hongyang hurriedly handed Aldoni his business card, which contained the address of the liaison office of Hanhua Heavy Industries in Caracas.
The two sides completed the intentional negotiations in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and further negotiations were to be made between Ordoni and Chu Hongyang, and there were many details that Zaviz was not interested in learning about them one by one.
"Mr. Lin, if I am elected president, I will definitely grant you the status of honorary citizen of Venezuela and regard you as the most loyal friend of the Venezuelan people." When Zawitz shook hands with Lin Zhenhua and said goodbye, he promised in a lofty attitude.
Lin Zhenhua naturally can't compete with the future president for any equality, at least the age of the people is a few years older than him, and without the role of a traverser, he has done a career that can only be done by a traverser, Lin Zhenhua has a little admiration for him. He said to Zawitz: "Mr. Zawitz, I have 100 percent confidence in your election as president, so I also have 100 percent confidence in our cooperation. ”…,
Zawitz was quite satisfied with Lin Zhenhua's answer, and as a person who intends to run for the presidency, he still attaches great importance to such wishes. In his heart, Yijing is thinking about how to continue to strengthen cooperation with Lin Zhenhua in the future, which is also very effective in improving his liliang during the election campaign.
After sending Zavetz and the others out of the hotel, Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang returned to the room. Chu Hongyang looked at the items recorded in the notebook and Aldoni's contact method, and couldn't believe that this was zhende.
"Zhenhua, according to what this surnamed Ao said, the projects they need to build need at least $50 billion worth of equipment, and these equipment Zhende plans to purchase from us?"
Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Of course they will shop around, but with my understanding of Zavez, he would rather choose our equipment than look at the faces of Western manufacturers." What is 50 billion, as long as the equipment we provide is good, they will definitely have the second and third phases of construction, and the future 100 billion and 200 billion will not be a problem. ”
"Boss, I'm convinced." Chu Hongyang said. The title of boss was still when they were young, Lin Zhenhua taught him to say that over the years, as everyone has grown older, they have all held senior positions, and Chu Hongyang Yijing rarely calls Lin Zhenhua like this. However, after just experiencing the meeting with Zavez, Chu Hongyang felt that only by using this title could he reflect his admiration for Lin Zhenhua.
"I said boss, are you optimistic that Zavez can become president? Why can't I see it? ”
Lin Zhenhua pretended to be mysterious and said: "This question is a long story, this has to start with the origin of the universe, I think you should not inquire." However, Aldoni, you have to hold him firmly, and when we return to China, I will invite Director Zhu over, and send some engineers over, and you will jointly finalize the industrial projects that Venezuela needs, and then we can start construction. ”
"Zhenhua, don't worry, it's all about this project, if you run away from me again, I will sell for so many years." Chu Hongyang replied confidently.
