Chapter 683: Visit to the Philippines
Zheng Rongxuan's special plane slowly landed at Manila's Aquino International Airport, and Philippine female President Arroyo personally greeted Zheng Rongxuan at the airport.
At the kind invitation of President Arroyo, Zheng Rongxuan came to the Philippines to inspect and conduct business negotiations with him. Heads and representatives of Philippine branches such as Daewoo, CGV, Mobile Times, and Toyota, as well as ambassadors of China, the United States, and South Korea to the Philippines also greeted Zheng Rongxuan and his party at the airport.
After Zheng Rongxuan slowly got down from the plane, he shook hands with Arroyo, who was waiting under the plane, and smiled: "Your Excellency President Arroyo, you are still so beautiful and moving last time you said goodbye to Peru. ”
Any woman likes to be complimented on her, even if she is president. Arroyo laughed and said, "No, I'm much older, and I'm relieved to see that Mr. Zheng is safe and sound." ”
After Zheng Rongxuan thanked the other party for his concern, he introduced his girlfriend Lee Hyo-ri, who came with him. As for the secretary-general Jin Suyan behind her, she is already a world-renowned figure, but Liang Jing and Jin Meier don't want to expose their relationship with Zheng Rongxuan, so they have been staying among Zheng Rongxuan's team members.
After greeting everyone at the airport, Zheng Rongxuan arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel by special plane, CGV Philippines Branch has arranged everything, and had a hearty conversation with President Arroyo in the hotel, and after lunch, the other party personally accompanied Zheng Rongxuan to visit the beautiful scenery of Manila.
In the evening, after listening to the reports of the people in charge of the branches of each group in the Philippines, Zheng Rongxuan basically had a bottom in his heart.
The next day, Zheng Rongxuan and Arroyo officially began negotiations, the Philippines needs Zheng Rongxuan's huge economic capital to stimulate economic growth, and Zheng Rongxuan is also interested in investing in Philippine financial securities, infrastructure, culture and entertainment, transportation and manufacturing.
The Arroyo government approved CGV Group's contract to acquire five units in the Philippines to invest in the construction of highways and other infrastructure in the Philippines, and Asiana Airlines to acquire or build a new large international passenger and cargo airport in the Philippines. Toyota and Daewoo Automobile Group invested in the Philippines and built a series of matters.
In fact, these are the similar projects discussed before, Arroyo's real purpose in inviting Zheng Rongxuan to the Philippines is, to put it bluntly, the advanced Samson helicopter gunship and KM1 wheeled armored vehicle shown by Zheng Rongxuan's bodyguard team in the CGV terrorist attack.
Now Daewoo's Samson helicopter is now signing a contract, only the United States and South Korea are supplied to the military in large quantities, and the rest are all sold to civilian institutions in China, Thailand, Britain, France, Australia and other countries, although everyone knows that I am afraid that these things will eventually go to the hands of the military, but at least on the surface Daewoo is not sold to the military of these countries.
Even in the CGV terrorist attack, these two kinds of equipment were not really used, but the Philippines, which is eager to seek the replacement of weapons and equipment, still falls in love with these two things. Samson helicopter needless to say. It has undergone Daewoo's toughest tests, and even flew it back to South Korea in one of the planes last summer, which alone is enough to convince the military of any country that it can withstand the demands of combat in the most extreme weather.
However, the KM1 wheeled armored vehicle is already equipped with the South Korean army, and the tens of billions of military purchases signed by Zheng Rongxuan with the United States last year also include a large number of improved versions of this armored vehicle.
Originally, the Philippines wanted to buy weapons from the United States, and even the Americans are now happy to sell some of the obsolete ones to the Philippines, but now Zheng Rongxuan, who is nearby, has a better one in his hands, so why should they go all the way to the United States.
Previously, the Arroyo government communicated with the South Korean side. The South Korean side does not restrict the export of these two equipment, and everything is decided by Daewoo. But Daewoo said that they couldn't call the shots about this, even if it was Daewoo's president Mohr? Nelson also said that if there are too many of them, they must be approved by Zheng Rongxuan.
Take Samson's combat radius. As well as the terrifying degree of weapons and equipment displayed before the Spring Festival, the Philippine military is already a little impatient to see these steel monsters in their own army, and it is no exaggeration to say that Samson is the most suitable helicopter model for the country's land and resources. It's easy to fly hundreds of kilometers and play, and the weapons and equipment are still very advanced, and there are many places that can be modified. It is a pretty good choice for both defense and offense.
However, this matter really made Zheng Rongxuan a little embarrassed, if it was just a three-five Zheng Rongxuan sold it, it would not be a climate anyway.
However, as the situation in the South China Sea becomes more and more tense, especially the Arroyo government's increasingly bold strategy in the South China Sea, Zheng Rongxuan is really worried that selling too much will affect regional peace and stability. As a businessman, although the war does make money, Zheng Rongxuan prefers to make money for peace, and no matter what, he is also a child who has lived under the red flag since he was a child.
"I said that I have no intention of interfering in the politics of any country, but after all, the goods you need now are military commodities, so I have to worry about the reaction of neighboring countries, if you can do public relations work with China, the United States, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, then I will sell as much as you want."
After Zheng Rongxuan heard the more than 300 Samson helicopter gunships and 1,260 KM1 wheeled armored vehicles proposed by the other party, to be honest, Zheng Rongxuan was really moved to sell them, but Zheng Rongxuan knew that he couldn't let go easily, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
In fact, Zheng Rongxuan did not think of simply taking the risk of selling to the other party, so as to force the surrounding countries to jointly upgrade their weapons and equipment, but after all, several nearby countries did not grab other people's waters, but China. Zheng Rongxuan couldn't help but think about whether he would be sprayed to death by the people in China if he really did this.
As for whether the Philippines can come up with so much money to buy it, Zheng Rongxuan is not worried, because the Philippines has islands, and it is a big deal to exchange an island for himself.
Although Zheng Rongxuan's attitude made Arroyo a little disappointed, she also knew that this matter was not so easy, even if there were no restrictions on the South Korean government, the Philippines still had to consider the feelings of the United States and even China behind Zheng Rongxuan, no matter how Zheng Rongxuan's three nationalities also had Chinese nationality.
After staying in the Philippines for two days, Zheng Rongxuan took a special plane to Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday afternoon on the third day. Before leaving, Zheng Rongxuan said helplessly to Arroyo, who saw him off: "I am very willing to cooperate with the Philippines in all civil matters, if you can do the work of the six countries, you can sign a supply contract with Daewoo at any time."
