The appearance of the dusty let Li Lu know that except for Lloyd, everyone else had just arrived at the dry port. It is even very likely that the car was pulled to the dry port as soon as he got off the plane. You know, the nearest international airport to the dry port is Hong Kong, and it takes at least eight hours to get from there.

But these people are in good spirits and full of confidence in the next talks.

Li Lu had no choice, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Weiwei to invite Pei Lei and Yao Taihang over. Without the presence of technical experts, it would have been difficult for him to ensure that the talks went smoothly. Pei Lei is a master in all fields, and has a wealth of foreign technical negotiations, and Yao Taihang is undoubtedly one of the top masters in China in the research and development of 100-seat passenger aircraft.

At the same time, he had to ask someone to invite Niu Jun over. At the moment, she is the only one with relevant translation experience. You must know that in addition to him, Pei Lei's English is so-so, while Yao Taihang is proficient in Russian, and he knows six of the seven tricks of English. Therefore, it is necessary to have an interpreter with experience in foreign affairs present.

Fortunately, Liu Guisong followed, otherwise Li Lu wouldn't even have sent anyone.

Letting the others rest, Li Lu and Lloyd talked along the dirt road planted with evergreens, walking towards the beach. The beach is just in front, there are sparse coconut trees, the sea breeze blows in gusts, and the sky is a little gray and cold.

"Mr. Wade will be coming over in a few days, and we at MBB will also consider participating in the technical training mission organized by Chrysler Defense." After a few words of gossip, Lloyd immediately gave Li Lu a greeting gift.

According to the initial intention, Chrysler Defense intends to take the lead in organizing a technical training group with the participation of several enterprises, and the cooperation object is the Red Star Plant. On the premise of purchasing machinery and equipment, the Red Star Plant provides paid technical training services by a technical training group organized by Chrysler Defense. It covers a wide range of technologies, from aerospace manufacturing to the production of auto parts.

In Wade's view, in fact, it is Chrysler Defense Company that takes the lead in organizing forces to carry out professional training and technical output for the Red Star Factory, and help the Red Star Factory as a whole improve its overall strength. It's a bit like a miniature version of the Soviet 156 project against China. For the Red Star Factory, the plan is extremely large.

Of course, the final negotiated price will also be "extremely large".

MBB did not care at all what technology would be transferred to the Red Star Plant, for the West Germans, the goal of the reunification of the motherland was above all else, and a vote for a permanent member of the UN Security Council was extremely important. From a purely corporate point of view, given that the owners of the Red Star Plant have precious oil resources in their hands, it is absolutely in the long-term interest to establish a close relationship.

Li Lu nodded and smiled at the greeting gift, and said, "Thank you very much for MBB's response." ”

"Mr. Li, we will use the resources in Europe to mobilize more enterprises to join the technical training group and help the Red Star Factory establish its own complete technology research and development system." Lloyd said.

"I'd love to work with Mercedes-Benz, but I've heard they're in contact with a car company in the north. Or you have other good recommendations, mainly in the non-passenger car segment. ”

"I haven't forgotten about it, and I'm stepping up contact." Lloyd said, the topic cut to the chase, "Mr. Li, the plan you put forward is basically approved by the company's senior management. However, there are some changes, such as the R&D center, we think it is more appropriate to place it in Europe, and the production can be placed in China. ”

"Mr. Lloyd, I thought that the talks that were about to start would be on the specifics, but now it seems that we have not been able to agree on the basic conditions. ”

"Europe has the best R&D conditions, and where the R&D center comes from is conducive to the advancement of the project." Lloyd Road.

Shaking his head, Li Lu said, "Objectively speaking, Europe is indeed a very suitable place for research and development, and human resources and technical resources are very advantageous. However, as I clearly mentioned, we are still most interested in R&D and that production can be in Europe. ”

The young Chinese man made no secret of his desire for technology, which made Lloyd see the ambition of the Chinese people. Although Lloyd has not been in Huaxia for a long time, relatively speaking, he is a middle and high-level cadre in MBB who knows the country best.

The Chinese are always careful to hide their ambitions, and they are usually accustomed to quietly advancing their plans, as well as keeping their eyes open and cautiously staring at the advanced technology in every field. Although some people showed inferiority, Lloyd was able to see in Li Lu the wisdom of the country's elite.

However, Lloyd is also very clear that as far as the aviation industry is concerned, especially the civil aviation industry, some people in China who hold decision-making power have become short-sighted, and they actually think that it is better to engage in research and development than to buy directly from abroad.

This is something that Lloyd, a Germanic from a traditional industrial family, could not have imagined, how could such a huge market be handed over to a huge country with a population of one billion?

The young man in front of him, who has the decision-making power of rich oil resources and a large amount of foreign exchange, allows him to see the other side of Huaxia - the country's elite is still a feared group.

With a technical background, Lloyd understands the importance of mastering core technologies.

"Mr. Li, you mentioned that you will set up an investment company in West Germany. I would like to know the specifics. Lloyd thought of this and turned to something else.

With relevant memories as support, and referring to the current policy and international environment, it is not difficult for Li Lu to accurately judge MBB's policies and objectives, as well as the most important bottom line of negotiations.

"As I mentioned before, the establishment of an investment company in West Germany is part of the cooperation. Establish the conditions of cooperation through the establishment of joint ventures between the investment company and your company, as well as other means. ”

Lloyd asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, we hope that your investment company can set up a joint venture oil company with us, I don't know if you are willing." ”

"MBB is ready to enter the oil extraction industry?" Li Lu was stunned.

"We have the conditions." Lloyd said, thought for a moment, and added, "Of course, we will invite companies with strong technical capabilities to join, such as Merkel." ”

Li Lu pondered, stopped, lit a cigarette and smoked, and after a while, he said, "In principle, there is no problem, but it can only be a refining and chemical enterprise." The Persian Gulf is at war, and the conditions for exploration and exploitation are not available in the short term, so it is unrealistic to set up a joint venture mining company. ”

"Yes, absolutely." Lloyd nodded hurriedly, this is exactly what the senior management of MBB company meant, after all, no one wants to risk the investment in exploration and mining in a country that has entered a state of war, which is very likely to be wasted, and everyone will lose everything.

Li Lu nodded slightly, "Then, the next talks will be built on this basis." I am willing to set up a refining and chemical enterprise with the enterprise consortium led by you, and the R&D center of the passenger aircraft research and development project of the Red Star Company and the MBB Company will be located in the Red Star Plant. ”

"Yes, Mr. Li, there is no problem, the production base is also placed here with you." "Huaxia has a clear labor cost advantage, which is very helpful in reducing costs. In addition, we require refining and chemical enterprises to be placed in Huaxia. ”

"Huaxia?" Li Lu was stunned for a moment and pointed to his feet, "Are you referring to the dry port?" ”

"Yes, it's a very advantageous location, and it's a very good natural harbor." Lloyd said with a smile.

In fact, MBB is eyeing the refined oil market in China. Obviously, MBB's top management has a very powerful personality.

"I agree." Li Lu has no reason to disagree, in the land of Huaxia, that is his own. Refineries, that's very good, have a lot of crude oil in their hands, and occupy the downstream refined oil market first, which is also a good way.

He didn't plan to sell all his crude oil to little Japan.
