What started as a tense negotiation gradually turned into a feast of wine and conversation with Lin Zhenhua's eloquent talks. The Portuguese officials, who had originally harbored strong indignation at the Chinese company's acquisition of Portuguese companies, turned their anger into joy after listening to Lin Zhenhua's proposal. They began to believe that Lin Zhenhua was indeed a sincere person, an authentic living Lei Feng.

Lin Zhenhua's trick is actually very simple, that is, to scoop up the interests that were originally evenly distributed to European countries to Portugal. Portugal has a population of more than 10 million people, and with just a few investment projects, it can bring significant growth. In the process of moving towards Europe, China also urgently needs a bridgehead, and Portugal happens to play such a bridgehead.

"We believe that there are broad prospects for cooperation between Portugal and China, China needs Portugal, and Portugal needs China, and we hope that our cooperation will last forever."

After the negotiations, Da Cruz summed up in affectionate terms, he no longer felt that these Chinese were here to take advantage of the fire, on the contrary, he believed that China's attitude towards Portugal was simply more sincere than that of the rest of the European Union, which has the same roots as Portugal.

"Mr. Dacruz, thank you very much for your blessings on the prospects of China-Portugal cooperation, China is a developing country, Portugal is a developed country, we also hope that China can get help from Portugal in all aspects, and hope that our cooperation can get a win-win result." Huang Gang replied happily. He could already see that Da Cruz and other Portuguese officials were very much in favor of the plan proposed by the Chinese side, and this plan was naturally very beneficial to the Chinese side.

The Chinese proposal was quickly submitted to the Portuguese Congress for consideration, and despite the threat of financial bankruptcy and the Congress, it was unable to raise an objection, and the plan was finally approved by a large majority.

If we look into it carefully, it cannot be said that this plan did not cause any damage to the Portuguese side. At the very least, facilities such as ports and power grids fall into the hands of others. A lot of profits are scooped up in vain, and this kind of thing is unacceptable for any country. But Portugal has no other choice, and who has let it have been on food for the past few decades and toss its entire family with nothing?

While the Chinese delegation had not yet left Portugal. The Portuguese government organized a series of signing events, which were noisy. A large number of managers and technicians also rushed from China to inspect ports, power grids and other facilities, and formulate strategies for further development, and the whole country of Portugal showed a long-lost atmosphere of prosperity.

Business leaders have always been only responsible for major policies, and it is not their turn to take care of specific affairs. After the intensive signing ceremony, the members of the negotiating delegation set off one after another. Departure from Lisbon. While waiting for the flight at the airport, Gu Jiahua chatted happily with Lin Zhenhua about this trip to Portugal:

"Zhenhua, I think the Portuguese model you have is good, is it possible that when European countries come to us to borrow money in the future, we can all come to such a hand?"

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Old Gu, the information of your state-owned enterprises is too closed. Let me tell you, this is not a Portuguese model, this model is in our country. It's called the bottom-buying mode. Many private capitals in China have recently taken a fancy to the fat of Europe and want to take advantage of the economic recession in Europe. Buy their high-quality assets too. ”

"I've heard of that, but I really don't know much about the details." Gu Jiahua admitted frankly.

Lin Zhenhua said: "In recent years, the European economy has been sluggish, especially the recession of the manufacturing industry has been very serious, many small and medium-sized enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the life of large enterprises is also not easy. Although these enterprises are not good at operating, their technical level is not said, many companies have hundreds of years of technical precipitation, and there are many exclusive skills. Our domestic enterprises are not short of money. However, there is still a gap between them and European companies in terms of technology, so they have taken advantage of this opportunity to come to Europe to acquire these old companies and improve their technical level. In this regard, you Xingbei Heavy Machinery is a little behind. ”…,

"Buying a business in Europe? It's going to cost a lot of money, right? Gu Jiahua said, "Our Xingbei Heavy Machinery is not backward in concept. It's just that I can't muster up so much liquidity for a while. You know, we recently built a new production base, which takes up a lot of money, so even if we see this piece of fat, we don't have such a big appetite to swallow it. ”

Lin Zhenhua asked in a disdainful tone: "Old Gu, you quickly excused yourself without knowing anything." What appetite size, so let's say, I say a business, do you see if you know, the Italian AOSIC company, have you heard of it? ”

"Nonsense, how could I not know? It is a veteran enterprise specializing in precision ball screws, and our company's precision machine tools often use this brand of lead screws. Gu Jiahua said that as the CEO of a machinery group, he still has some common sense in this regard.

Lin Zhenhua asked again: "This company has been listed for sale because of the shrinking business a few days ago, do you estimate how much it will cost to acquire it?" ”

"Acquisition of AOSIC? How...... Wouldn't it cost tens of millions of euros? Gu Jiahua said uncertainly. In his impression, although this enterprise is not large, it is very famous, and the ball screws it produces are much more well-known than the machine tools produced by Xingbei Heavy Machinery. Chinese people have always had an instinctive sense of worship for world-renowned brands, and Gu Jiahua's speculation represents the views of many people.

Lin Zhenhua grinned and stretched out three fingers and said, "3.5 million euros, scoop them all." ”

"Only 3.5 million? Combine...... That's 30 million yuan, right? That's too cheap, isn't it? Gu Jiahua was shocked, "We are lacking production capacity in this area, Zhenhua, you hurry up and help me next." ”

"It's late." Lin Zhenhua pouted and said, "Our Maoqiao Gear Company in Xunyang, Lao Feng, has already bought it, even the technology with the brand, one pot." In the future, if you want to buy AOSIC lead screws, you can only go to Lao Feng. ”

"Macho Gear Company? Isn't it producing gears, what kind of lead screw to buy, isn't this staggering! Gu Jiahua denigrated it regretfully, in fact, he also knew in his heart that gears and lead screws are really not too far away, they all belong to machine tool parts, and it can even be said that the lead screw is actually a kind of gear.

"Now you know you regret it, right?" Lin Zhenhua gloated and asked, "Now those private enterprises in Xunyang are desperately inquiring about coming to Europe to buy the bottom." Copying a European company and spending millions of euros is worth spending tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the past. ”

"Well, to hear you say that, we're lagging behind." Gu Jiahua patted his thigh and said, "By the way, Zhenhua, I know that you Hanhua have always had a keen sense of smell, and this time you have not been able to get any good things in Europe, right?" How about it, tell my brother, what good companies have you acquired? ”

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "We really didn't make much of this fun, that is, my general manager Xiang Zhe was bored, and arranged to buy a company engaged in gas turbine materials, a company engaged in automobile engine design, two companies specializing in the production of stamping machinery, a mold factory, and two ......."

"That's a lot!" Gu Jiahua jumped up without waiting for Lin Zhenhua to finish his calculations, "Xiaolin, you are too few friends, such a good opportunity, you actually don't say hello to your brother, it's not good to eat alone." ”

Lin Zhenhua is also accustomed to Gu Jiahua's style of playing scoundrels, the age difference between the two is nearly 20 years old, but they have been fighting and making trouble over the years, and they have also become year-old friends. Gu Jiahua's management style is more rigorous, and he has far less ghost ideas than Lin Zhenhua, so when he encounters something, he always has to ask Lin Zhenhua to give him ideas.

Seeing that Gu Jiahua was anxious again, Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Don't blame me, who let you let your old Gu Chengcheng be busy entertaining all day long, and don't have time to go to our Xunyang to sit." This kind of thing, you can't let me go all the way to Xingbei to report to you, right? ”…,

"I don't care." Gu Jiahua said, "Tell me quickly, if there is any good opportunity now, you must give it to me." Our Xingbei Heavy Machinery is also a key state-owned enterprise, if such a thing falls behind your Hanhua, the SASAC will not be able to spare me. ”

Lin Zhenhua said such a long thing, just to hang Gu Jiahua's competitive spirit, and now listening to Gu Jiahua say this, he pretended to be reluctant and said: "If you want to talk about opportunities, there is one, but the amount involved is relatively large, didn't you say that there is no liquidity?" ”

"As long as it's worth the price, the amount or something, isn't it hard to say?" Gu Jiahua said, "Several banks in Xingbei chase after my ass every day and ask me if I want a loan. Don't brag and say it, as long as I am willing, twenty or three hundred million can be borrowed casually. ”

"Two or three billion, well, almost." Lin Zhenhua smiled evilly and said, "By the way, Lao Gu, are you talking about euros or dollars?" ”

"What euros, dollars, is two or three billion yuan!" Gu Jiahua blurted out, and after saying it, he reacted to Lin Zhenhua's subtext, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "What?" You mean, two or three billion dollars to spend? ”

Lin Zhenhua laughed: "Isn't it two or three billion dollars?" Do you know which company I'm talking about? ”

"Which one?" Gu Jiahua's curiosity was completely aroused, there are not many companies in Europe that cost billions of dollars just to buy the bottom, even if he doesn't plan to buy it, it's quite interesting to just hear the news.

"It's our old enemy, alk!" Lin Zhenhua said.

"Alk is going to be acquired?" Gu Jiahua's face showed a hint of gloom, "This is really feng shui in turn, it's not that enemies don't get together." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
