As for the reason why FAW came to the door, it is even simpler, what about our red flag?
Didn't you Jin Xiaoqiang negotiate with our guide before, and will help us design the latest Hongqi car? Why hasn't there been any movement yet?
Looking at our FAW for so many years, there has been no movement, and we are already in a hurry, why do you Jin Xiaoqiang have to pull your brothers for the sake of the party-state?
Faced with the demands of these three companies, Jin Xiaoqiang could only reluctantly agree to help them get a new car as soon as possible, but the plan for the new car could not be obtained after next year.
Now he has other work to do, and he really doesn't have time to deal with their demands!
During this time, after finishing the things at hand, Jin Xiaoqiang really couldn't get away, because there was still a very difficult task waiting for him, that is, to go north to Russia again.
Some time ago, he sent Zeng Jianxin to Russia to negotiate cooperation, and after Zeng Jianxin led the team to Russia, he was warmly welcomed by the people sent by Adelka.
After all, this is a good thing that can win glory for Putin, because he cleaned up the disobedient Khodorkovsky and split Yukos up for auction, Putin can be regarded as offending the Jewish consortium in Western Europe enough.
Although he is still cooperating with the Jewish consortium in the Tyumen oil fields, business is business after all, and in the case of Yukos, especially after the auction and embezzlement of Yukos's most important Yukos company, it can be regarded as a complete tear with the Jewish consortium in the United States.
In the years when the former Soviet Union had just collapsed, Khodorkovsky used $300 million to take down Yukos, Russia's largest oil company.
After several years of Khodorkovsky's operation, the company has become the world's fourth-largest oil company with crude oil reserves of 14 billion to 21 billion barrels and a market value of $32 billion.
It's a pity that Khodorkovsky's business acumen and political acumen are really not proportional, after seeing that the oligarchs who made their fortunes with him were taken down by Putin one after another, or were forced to go abroad, and all the state-owned assets belonging to the former Soviet Union that were embezzled by the original oligarchs were forced to spit out, he actually did not want to join Putin like Abu to follow the trend, but relied on himself to hug the big thick legs of the Americans, and planned to defend Putin to the end.
The result was naturally tragic, he himself was imprisoned, and Yukos, who originally belonged to him and the American Jewish Foundation, ended up being broken up.
The most juicy of them all, the Yugansk company, was swallowed by Putin and his allies, of course.
Khodorkovsky is broken, he himself is still squatting in prison, but the Jewish consortium in the United States is not so easy to mess with, Morgan and the Rockefellers who stood behind the original Yukos have red eyes at this time.
Putin forcibly scooped out a piece of fat from their mouths, such an act is completely a tiger swatting a fly on the head, where can they tolerate such an act?
Therefore, in 2003, when Putin began to investigate Yukos, they began to make trouble for Putin, because of the particularity of Russia's international status and the complex domestic situation, it is very troublesome for them to start from within Russia, so they can only choose the means of putting pressure on Russia and Putin in the international community.
And in 2004, after Khodorkovsky was sentenced to prison and the Yugansk company was spun up and auctioned, their intervention reached its peak.
This year, Russia's federal tax revenue also rose sharply because of the breakup of Yukos, and even increased by more than 138 percent at one point.
However, all of this was due to the auction of the Yugansk company, because the company was split, which led to many small oligarchs who were still waiting and watching, making up the taxes they originally owed to the state, and using various means to cover up their embezzlement of state-owned assets. …,
So the cost of this has led to a huge increase in tax revenue in Russia last year.
However, in the long run, the act of splitting up Yukos has made Russia's domestic economic environment even worse, you must know that since the disintegration of Russia, it was originally intended to attract investment like the Celestial Empire, and attract a large number of foreign capital to invest in Russia to build enterprises to increase domestic employment opportunities and create profits.
And because of the great power mentality of the Russians and the difference in the domestic technological infrastructure environment, they have always wanted to introduce some high-end and relatively lacking domestic technology industries to do, and want to open up the grade with the Celestial Empire.
For example, car licenses and electronics manufacturing, etc., they have also been in contact with the Japanese, Germans and Americans, and want to import some car-making technology from them, but the Japanese and the Americans, and the Germans are not stupid.
If you want to make a joint venture, but if you want to introduce a complete set of technology, you can't do it, don't even think about it.
In addition, after last year's Yukos incident, some international economic rating agencies with the background of the American Jewish consortium have lowered their economic ratings for Russia, listing them as unsuitable countries for investment.
These German, Japanese, and American automakers are even more talking, and they don't talk about cooperation with the Russians at all, which really annoys Putin and other national leaders who have always wanted to make a certain breakthrough outside the oil field.
At present, Russia's domestic economic development is mostly supported by the export of oil, natural gas, and timber, and last year because of the outbreak of the Yukos case, and finally Khodorkovsky ended up in prison, which led to the crazy flight of Russian domestic funds and rich people this year.
The outflow of these people and funds will inevitably have a certain impact on Russia's economy in the future, so in order to stabilize the hearts of the people at home and find a breakthrough in the field other than oil, Putin and his family are now very urgently in need of an internationally renowned technical enterprise with a certain influence and technical content to invest in Russia, or a joint venture.
Only in this way can we maintain the stability of the domestic people's mood and let domestic capital see Putin's attitude clearly.
And Putin they chose to choose, and in the end the only suitable one was Huayang Power from the Celestial Empire, fortunately, in recent times, especially after the Paris Motor Show, Huayang Power has become an international-level car company, which is already worthy of its name.
Although the scale of this car company cannot be compared with Volkswagen, Toyota, and General Motors, this company is very similar to Japan's Fuji Heavy Industries in terms of technical content.
And in terms of development potential, this company can definitely be called a rising star, if the time can introduce this car company to cooperate with domestic enterprises, and symbolically obtain a certain amount of technology transfer, then it will definitely satisfy the domestic people, and add points to Putin's political image.
Therefore, during Zeng Jianxin's trip to Russia, they can be said to have been warmly received by the Russian side, especially Adelka, who was an assistant to the president, and he greeted two key enterprises, Gorky Manufacturing Group and Volga Manufacturing Group.
These two companies can be said to be the hegemon of the automobile manufacturing industry in Russia, and many of their products are currently selling well in Russia, such as Yiz, Lada and other brands.
But in general, the current situation of these two groups is similar to that of domestic automobile companies in the 1980s, and all they can produce are relatively old cars.
And they can't make cars that are in line with the current international fashion trends, which is of course related to the disconnection between Russia and the world for many years. …,
The Russians are not good at making refined things, and their industrial products have always been presented internationally as stupid and stupid.
The same is true of their cars, the technology introduced from Italy in 1966, and the Lada, developed and produced, has been used to this day, and in the field of car engines, the Russians are also at a loss.
At present, the engines that they can produce domestically are still about ten years behind the international market.
Although the cars in the domestic Lada are still selling well, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is related to the current domestic protection policy in Russia, as well as the low price of the Lada, and the low oil price in Russia.
In the absence of any of these three auxiliary policies, these two domestic auto companies in Russia will be crushed to death by the influx of foreign car companies.
At present, Russia's domestic cars are only used by the domestic poor, but as long as the economic conditions of the family allow, ordinary people will not buy domestic cars, and Japanese cars and German cars are of course the first choice for Russians.
Since the emergence of Huayang Power and its entry into the Russian market, this brand has quickly won the love of Russian consumers by virtue of its excellent technology, quality, and slightly lower price than Japanese cars and German cars.
Therefore, the people of AvtoVAZ Automobile Manufacturing Group and Gorky Automobile Manufacturing Group can be said to attach great importance to the representatives sent by Huayang Power this time, even if Adelka does not greet them, they will not neglect such distinguished guests.
After all, they know best what the current domestic automobile manufacturing R&D environment is, and they are very eager to need enterprises like Huayang Power that can talk about technology transfer.
Joint ventures are definitely a long-awaited thing for them!
It is precisely because of the sincerity shown by these Russians this time that Zeng Jianxin returned to China not long after he went to Russia to preside over other work of the company, and the negotiation was handed over to the rest of the people, as well as the special negotiation team sent by Jin Xiaoqiang from Hong Kong...... )
