On July 1, China promulgated the Law on Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures, which has since provided a formal legal basis for Sino-foreign joint ventures.

Lin Qiangsheng was sitting in Lyon's car at this time, and there was Barr, a negotiator, in the back seat. They were on their way to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. At the invitation of the French side, the negotiation team of the Bincheng joint venture project in H province came to France to discuss the legal issues related to the joint venture with the foreign party, and if the two sides can reach an agreement, the joint venture project of the automobile factory can be formally signed.

Regarding the construction of a wholly-owned auto parts manufacturing base, the province has not yet made up its mind, and the leaders want to at least account for 50% of the shares, and intend to share the same shares as the cooperation model of the automobile factory. It would be even better if the Chinese side could take a controlling stake.

However, this is Lin Qiangsheng's own business, of course he doesn't want outsiders to interfere, and if he can't talk about it, he can't talk about it, and when the two provinces of GD and FJ give the policy in mid-July, after the establishment of the special economic zone, see if the leaders of H province are in a hurry.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, a group of people from Province H walked out of the airport passage.

Lin Qiangsheng saw Li Gang wearing a gray homespun suit at a glance, this old-fashioned suit was so easy to distinguish, it was like a morning star in the night.

Lin Qiangsheng held a Chinese sign to distinguish it, and Li Gang and the others saw Lin Qiangsheng appear, and they all looked at Lin Xiangrong in surprise.

"Welcome, welcome! Put out the welcome mat! Lin Qiangsheng shouted, which made Li Gang and his party laugh.

Li Gang is over sixty years old, and his smile is very kind, he looked at Lin Qiangsheng, and then smiled at Lin Xiangrong: "There is this little ghost of your family everywhere!" ”

Everyone laughed, and the tension of the first arrival in a foreign country was resolved by a few jokes.

The four-member negotiation team, Li Gang, Lin Xiangrong, and Dai Feng, director of the Provincial Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, also brought an accompanying interpreter. The negotiating team was also crowded with other people who were not involved in the negotiations. In addition, there were nearly 20 people with their families.

With Lin Qiangsheng's help, the translation brought by the negotiation team seemed a little redundant, but this translator was good at French, and it didn't make Lin Qiangsheng feel lonely, and he chatted with Leon after a while.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xiangrong took a moment and asked his son.

Lin Qiangsheng laughed. How could he not come to the invitation of Balfa. He smiled and said, "I was just afraid that you would lack a translator, so I rushed over!" ”

Lin Xiangrong glared at his son and asked, "You ran around at a young age, didn't you say that you went to GD to find your brother?" How did you run abroad! Just make a phone call to tell your family that you are going abroad, and see that your mother is in a hurry! ”

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said: "I'm also here to do the right thing!" For the modernization of the country, I also want to fill in one brick at a time! ”

Lin Xiangrong glared at his son and said, "You just appeared like this!" How can I explain it to my colleagues! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "No need to explain, explanation is to cover up, we don't need to cover up and explain!" ”

In order to divert the topic of Dad. Lin Qiangsheng asked his father, "Is there any news from my brother?" ”

Lin Xiangrong sighed and said, "There's news!" Your brother is fine, he went off the battlefield intact. He had to take care of the wounded in the army, and he would probably not be able to go home until the end of the year. ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, and also breathed a sigh of relief, the eldest brother is fine.

This time, the negotiation team still stayed in a hotel near the Chinese Embassy, and when they entered the room, Lin Qiangsheng asked his father: "What is the plan for the negotiation team this time?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "This time I came to finalize cooperation with foreign parties, and the domestic joint venture law has also come down." If the foreign party has no doubts about our laws, you can sign the contract! Both central and provincial. They have reached an agreement on this matter, that is, to quickly finalize the cooperation with the French side! ”

"This time foreign businessmen are so happy, and domestic actions are also getting up!" Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile.

Lin Xiangrong smiled: "Yes! I heard that SH and Germany are still deadlocked over the issue of automobile production and the proportion of foreign exchange earned by exports, but the Germans just do not agree to use 80% of their output for export, and at the same time they hear that Germany does not want to contribute so much money. It seems that the French are much more generous than the Germans! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said secretly: "Give up the right to control and sell 80% of the output." I want to build a small production plant. The Germans are not stupid, but how could they have thought that China is developing so fast that it will need large-scale imported cars in a few years! ”

This negotiation is completely led by Lin Qiangsheng behind the scenes, and since there is no problem in the country, it completely depends on the will of the foreign side, so of course Lin Qiangsheng raised his hands and agreed. With domestic laws, as a foreign investor, it can be said that you have taken advantage of the boss!

The lawyer invited by Lin Qiangsheng carefully reviewed the legal documents brought by the Chinese side, and the two sides exchanged views. Of course, Leon and Barr have no problem, Lin Qiangsheng is the boss behind the scenes, and he is in charge, he just says it.

Barr said to the Chinese negotiating team: "Since it was finalized from the beginning to use the Chinese brand, the Chinese company cannot use the brand resources of Peugeot in future business activities, otherwise the Chinese side will be in breach of contract!" At the same time, it is illegal! I think the Chinese side can guarantee this, right? ”

After Li Gang, Lin Xiangrong, and Dai Feng listened to the translator's words, they looked at each other and nodded, Li Gang said, "Of course! We will not fraudulently use a Qiē resource of Peugeot, and there will definitely be no problems in this regard! The Chinese still keep their promises! ”

The old man's words were loud, and everyone nodded in unison.

"A Peugeot company will sign a contract with the Chinese side to form a joint car company with the Chinese side. I think you should also understand that your brand is a brand new brand, or an oriental brand, and it is impossible for Peugeot to cooperate directly with such a brand, so as not to bring any negative impact to Peugeot! Barr finished what Lin Qiangsheng explained without blinking an eye.

Li Gang and the others said a few words to each other, which was originally something that the French side had notified a long time ago. What China cares about is specific technology and capital, brand building is not on the agenda at all, and there is not enough understanding of what brand resources are in China.

Li Gang, as a cadre directly appointed by the state superiors, is also the deputy director of FAW, and his level has reached the vice provincial level, or even higher, and he is still the file relationship of a central enterprise. He has the full trust of his superiors. This old comrade will be able to knock on the board for cooperation projects.

He nodded to Barr and said, "We agree with the French side!" ”

Hearing that the Chinese side represented by Li Gang agreed, Lin Qiangsheng smiled, and both the French side and the Chinese side showed a relaxed smile.

I signed a contract in France, and then I had to go back to China to sign a contract. At 3 p.m. on the same day, the Chinese negotiating team sent the news of the signing back to China, and it was more than 8 o'clock in the morning when Chinese time came. Hearing the good news ahead, there was also jubilation in the rear.

After the agreement was signed, the French side handled the matter of going to China. It is very troublesome for foreign parties to go to China, and it will take two weeks before and after.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Qiangsheng took Barr and invited the Chinese delegation to visit the French company Faurecia, which provides exhaust systems and seat systems for BMW, interior systems such as dashboards, center consoles, cabs, and door panels for Volkswagen, and exterior systems, bumpers, radiators and other spare parts for Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Mr. Lin bought the company's existing technology for $24 million. Although Lin Qiangsheng heard that Faurecia was working on electronically controlled seats and a higher emission system, he felt that China was currently taking back good technology, and the oil products were not up to the mark.

In fact, the $2,400 also includes technologies and equipment such as three-way catalytic technology and engineering plastics manufacturing for automotive interiors, and Lin Qiangsheng feels that it is still worth it.

Among them, the production equipment of plastics, internal mixers, injection molding machines, is huge, although domestic products are cheaper, but Lin Qiangsheng is interested in the large production volume and environmental protection performance of French products.

Faurecia is also pleased with the deal, as major automotive companies are currently launching new products that incorporate electronic technology to find buyers for older technologies. They are also very willing.

After Li Gang, Dai Feng and others visited, they immediately had a new understanding of the technology of the French. At the very least, the machinery and equipment seem to be more technologically advanced than the domestic machines, and the design of other people's machines is also exquisite, unlike the domestic technology inherited from the Soviet Union.

"The French are technologically advanced, I think the province should not insist on the 5% share requirement, appropriately relax some conditions, and introduce the French first!" After leaving Faurecia. Dai Feng said leisurely.

As director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau, he has a transcendent position in the province. Nowadays, in the period when the country is strictly lacking foreign investment and high technology, the status of foreign trade and economic cooperation is particularly important.

"The French demand is to be a sole proprietorship! I heard that a special economic zone was going to be established in the south of the country, and the French side did not mind going to the south to have a look. I hope that the leaders of H Province will seize the time and not miss the opportunity! Lin Qiangsheng said to everyone in a timely manner.

Lin Xiangrong said to his son: "How can it be so easy! ”

Lin Qiangsheng shrugged his shoulders and said to Li Gang and Dai Feng: "Originally, I wanted to introduce you to Comau in Italy and take a look at their company's welding system. Comau has agreed to supply our partner, DBR, with an automatic welding line for automobiles. But it's a shame that you're going to be back home in a week, and you can't get your visa in a short period of time! ”

"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier, you kid! Lin Xiangrong stretched out his hand to grab his son and ask for an understanding.

Li Gang hurriedly asked Lin Qiangsheng: "Automatic welding? Is it an automatic welding machine under computer control? ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said to Li Gang: "Yes! ”

Li Gang asked in surprise: "Italians are willing to sell this kind of thing!" Do they know that DBR is going to work with us? Aren't the Italians afraid of punishment in Batumi? ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Italians are sick and rushed to the hospital, they just experienced a huge workers' strike movement, and 14 million workers across the country took to the streets to participate in the general strike. The Italians are also in a hurry, who knows what will happen in the future, first grasp an order is one! ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, 14 million workers took to the streets to strike, what was the scene? I didn't expect the union in Italy to be so strong!

In fact, Lin Qiangsheng really caught up with a good time this time, and the strike in Italy made many factory owners feel that Italy's future was uncertain, which made them have the idea of transferring assets abroad!

At present, Lin Qiangsheng has entrusted a number of Italian negotiation companies, and they are negotiating with these people in northern Italian cities. He plans to make a big purchase in Italy, whether it is technology or equipment, Lin Johnson is interested!

Batumi also has nothing to do with the Italians who are in a hurry! Again, Lin Qiangsheng also signaled that these negotiation companies could use secret agreements when signing contracts with these factory owners. In this way, the contract is not submitted to Batumi for review, and the equipment is shipped to Singapore. (To be continued......)
