Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!

"Let's go, let's talk in my study."

Putin's words are concise and to the point, but they are full of momentum, and they do not allow others to have a chance to refute them.

But after pondering, this is people's home field, and besides, what is the identity of people? Who are you? So Jin Xiaoqiang was relieved.

The palace-like house is a bit deserted, with some bodyguards and a few seemingly simple maids, and it seems that Putin's family does not live here.

The group went upstairs and came to a huge study, the whole study was decorated in an antique style, typical European study design, oak floors, bookshelves that stretched from the floor to the roof, and the bookshelves were full of thick tomes.

In front of the bookshelf is the same large writing desk, as well as the executive chair, and on the left-hand side is a bogu shelf, which is filled with rare knick-knacks.

Opposite is a large fireplace, on top of which is a specimen of a reindeer's head that has always been huge, and on the right hand side is a large floor-to-ceiling partition window.

The temperature in Moscow in May is not high, usually more than ten degrees above zero, and it can even reach zero degrees at night, so the fireplace in the study is also burning, and the house is as warm as spring.

Several people walked to the window position, where there were a few sofa chairs, Putin and Aldeka, each found a place to sit down, and Jin Xiaoqiang also sat down.

Putin gestured, and then the people outside brought a set of silver coffee pots, as well as sugar boxes and milk cups, and everyone made a cup of coffee according to their taste.

Jin Xiaoqiang rarely drank coffee before, so his research on coffee was not very deep, but today's cup of coffee really made him feel the charm of coffee, a bitter feeling after a sip, but after a while, he felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the aftertaste was long.

"Mr. Jin, you're only a kid this year?"

Putin's first sentence made Jin Xiaoqiang feel very surprised.

"Yes! This year happens to be Gong. ”

"Haha, I'm really young and promising, when I'm as old as you, I'm just a small clerk!"

Putin laughed as he spoke, but at this time he felt a little kind, not as cold as a stone when they first met.

"Hehe, that's not the same, when I reach your age, I'll be a car designer at best."

Jin Xiaoqiang replied with a smile, but he also patted him lightly, the meaning is very clear, a talented person like you is not a thousand years, don't look at me I have a certain achievement now, but when I reach your age, I can't take your achievement.

What kind of person is Putin, Jin Xiaoqiang is such a sycophant, he immediately understood, as the so-called thousands of sycophants are not worn, even if he is the general commander of a country, he can get the flattery of a young man with ability and status like Jin Xiaoqiang, of course he will feel very happy and satisfied in his heart.

"Hehe, you're so polite, I've seen the car you designed, the shape is really beautiful, and now it's very good to buy it in Russia, and I've also test-driven the model you designed? It's really good, to be honest I feel better than BMW, Mercedes-Benz is not far behind. ”

At this time, Putin was talking and laughing, which made Jin Xiaoqiang have a little illusion, this guy didn't look like an iron-blooded boss at this time, but more like an uncle next door.

"Oh? Is it? That's really my pleasure, I don't know which one you've test-driven, how it feels, and if you can get a kind of feedback from a customer like you, it's really a blessing for us! ”

Jin Xiaoqiang said half-jokingly, and at the same time, a few fluttering sycophants were sent over.

"Haha, I test drove the high-end luxury executive version of your Qoros series Qoros 8, which car my bodyguard Yuri bought for his wife's private car, I tried to drive it for a while, the handling and acceleration performance are really great."

Putin said as he gestured with his hand to grip the steering wheel, at this time he really looked like an uncle next door, not aggressive at all, but more amiable.

In this way, the atmosphere in the study eased, I have to say that Putin, as a successful politician, has this extraordinary language art, and is very good at adjusting the atmosphere. …,

And as a general, his words are very dominant, and the whole process of conversation has always been under his control.

Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang is also very good at patting horses, and in the process of talking, he constantly patted a few sycophants without making traces, but he photographed Putin very comfortably.

The whole process of the meeting can be said to be harmonious and happy, and it didn't take long for everyone to get acquainted as if they had become old friends.

However, what makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel a little light is that people will never mention any Yukos, nor will they mention the issue of the Baikal consortium that needs to inject capital.

"By the way, Mr. Jin, you came to the Celestial Empire, and we and the Celestial Empire can also be said to be old friends, and the economic and trade between our two countries has developed very rapidly in recent years. I see that your Huayang Power is currently in the Celestial Empire and the world, it can be said that the development momentum is good, how about you are not interested in coming to our Russia to open up the market? ”

Putin changed the topic and began to mention the problem of Jin Xiaoqiang's professional prescription.

"Hehe, of course I'm interested, we've been doing it all along! You also saw that our cars, now they have already been sold to Russia? ”

Jin Xiaoqiang feels that this Russian president has something to say, this guy doesn't want to let himself come to Russia to invest and build a factory, right? However, Putin's words quickly confirmed his conjecture.

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about that, I mean, are you interested in coming to our Russia and cooperating with our Russian car companies?"

Putin waved his hand and continued, this little guy on the other side is really interesting, he is young, he is a little slippery head, no wonder he can pounce on such a big automobile company at such an age.

At this time, Putin was more interested in the young man sitting opposite, he was not very old, but he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing himself, and when he spoke, he was even more reasonable, not flustered, and this kind of bearing was really not something that ordinary people could have.

It's a pity that he is taking a business path, if this guy takes a career in office, he may not be able to achieve much in the future, but if he knew that Jin Xiaoqiang's back is constantly sweating wave after wave, he probably won't think like this.

Sure enough! However, Jin Xiaoqiang immediately responded, since people invited him to come, of course he had to give face.

"Hehe, interested? Of course, we are very interested, in fact, we have been thinking about this for a long time, and since Russia has always been an important business partner of our Celestial Empire, we have long planned to enter Russia. ”

"Oh? Is it? That's great, I wonder when you'll be able to invest in Russia? Rest assured, we will definitely provide convenient investment conditions and the best investment environment for high-quality foreign-funded enterprises like you. ”

President Putin seemed very happy and satisfied with Jin Xiaoqiang's answer.

Indeed, the reason why President Putin suddenly mentioned this to Jin Xiaoqiang also has his own plans.

In the former Soviet era, the Soviet Union was not a strong automobile country, and there were only a few domestic automobile manufacturing enterprises, and the more famous one was the AvtoVAZ Automobile Manufacturing Company, the most famous product of this company was the Lada, which was once famous in the former Soviet Union and the Celestial Empire.

There is also a Gorky Automobile Factory, but the name of this automobile factory is Gas, because in addition to Gas, the people of the Celestial Empire do not seem to have seen other products produced by this car factory, in fact, of course, this is not the case.

In the era of the planned economy of the former Soviet Union, these two automobile factories were once the pride of the former Soviet industry, and these two automobile factories supplied tens of millions of passenger cars for the entire former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact alliance.

The former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact region are vast and sparsely populated, and the transportation in many places is not very convenient, so the car has become the best means of transportation.

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, these two automobile manufacturers, although they did not fall to the ground, but they also lived a difficult life.

Similar to the situation in the Celestial Empire, it turned out that they were all state-owned enterprises, which had been influenced and nurtured by the bureaucracy for too long, coupled with the Russian industry's usual stupid and clumsy production and R&D style, these two car factories have not been able to come up with any decent automobile products.

And the two car factories have been producing old models such as Lada and Gaz for decades, which has long made the Russian people sick to vomit. …,

Therefore, in the years when the former Soviet Union collapsed, with the frenzied influx of foreign capital into gold panning, all kinds of smuggling activities were rampant in Russia, which also brought a large number of smuggled cars, especially Japanese cars and Korean cars.

And because the tariffs on imported cars in Russia were very low at that time, it greatly boosted the atmosphere of introducing second-hand cars from abroad.

In just five years, Russia's automobile market has basically been occupied by second-hand cars from Japan, South Korea, and the United States, while the country's Lada and Gaz have been hit into a mess, and even on the verge of production several times.

The Russian government had to significantly increase the tariffs on imported second-hand cars in 1 yak year, which greatly curbed the influx of second-hand cars into the country.

But after the impact of those years, it also opened the eyes of the Russians, and since then, the Lada and Gaz produced in Russia are no longer as good as the eyes of the Russians.

After all, although Russia's oil prices are low, if you can spend less money to maintain a car and improve the quality of life in other aspects, wouldn't it be better, after all, although Russia has developed very well in the past two years, not everyone is a billionaire.

As a result, almost half of the streets in Russia are now filled with Japanese cars, and many of them are models from more than ten years ago, and they are all second-hand cars introduced back then.

Putin, as the president of a country, of course knows the national economy and people's livelihood very well, at this time, after hearing Jin Xiaoqiang say that he was willing to invest in Russia, he gave Aldeka a look, and Aldeca immediately began to talk like Jin Xiaoqiang.

"In the past two years, China's economic growth momentum is very strong, last year's per capita income level in our country was the US dollar, this year according to expectations, will grow to about the US dollar, and with the improvement of the economic level, people also have clear expectations for the improvement of the quality of life. At present, according to the survey, 80 percent of China's young people who have just graduated have the desire to buy private cars, and according to the statistics of recent years, China's automobile market is almost growing at a rate of about 10 percent per year. And according to statistics, the number of private cars registered in China is 24.69 million, but more than 60% of them have faced the problem of scrapping and upgrading, so it can be expected that from next year, China's car sales will enter a take-off era. ””

Adelka really deserves to be an economic expert, an assistant to the general manager, and many things related to the national economy and people's livelihood, he came as soon as he opened his mouth.

And Jin Xiaoqiang has fallen into contemplation at this time, what Adelka said did not fool him, what he said is the truth, from next year, not only the car market of the Celestial Empire will enter the golden stage, but also the Russian one, the main reason is that many of their models are about to face the problem of upgrading.

The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang knows these things is because he has personally experienced these things when he worked in the car company in the south in his previous life.

In the year of the field, Ricky and Ligi such independent brand bigwigs began to enter the Russian market, and they were not good at the beginning, but since the beginning of the new year, it has entered a golden period, and the annual sales of each car company have increased by 60% or even 100%.

Those sales records even went from the concave year to a total of 350 units sold annually. The explosive growth reached a peak in 07 years, when all the Tianchao car companies achieved brilliant results in Russia, and all the Tianchao cars sold a total of 108,000 cars in Russia that year, but then they also entered a period of rapid recession, which is the reason for the financial crisis, and the reason why our own business skills are not too strong, all kinds of things at that time in Adrica's narrative, as if they were replayed over and over again in Jin Xiaoqiang's mind.

"So if you Huayang Power enters our Russia, we can give different preferential treatment according to your investment method, SKD is a kind of CKD, of course, if it is a joint venture with our company, then it is another one." ”

Alka was still talking, but Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite, felt a little ridiculous, he was originally here to talk about oil, why did he now make it seem like he was attending an investment conference? . )
