Chapter 404: Let's Talk
"Mr. Wells, I said that you are welcome at the dry port, and you see, the scenery of the dry port is quite good."
As soon as he entered the door, Li Lu smiled and stretched out his hand from a distance.
Wells had already stood up, and seeing this, he hurriedly trotted over two steps and held Li Lu's hand with both hands, shaking it enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, yes, yes, the dry port is a very beautiful coastal city, in fact, I went to Long Beach yesterday, which is comparable to the Gold Coast of Australia, it is simply beautiful." ”
"Oh? You also went to Long Beach, and that was good, that was good. Li Lu said with a smile, nodded to Wade as a greeting, and then said, "It seems that maybe we can expand our thinking and cooperate in this aspect of tourism?" Maybe American friends like to travel to China, if the dry port of Long Beach can really be comparable to the Gold Coast of Europe. ”
Wells couldn't keep up with Li Lu's thinking, but just said yes.
Wade listened and said, "Lu, this is a good idea, I hope you are serious." ”
"Of course." Li Lu pointed to the side of the sofa, the three of them walked over and sat down, Zhang Weiwei took the door, and stood outside the door to prevent others from disturbing.
After sitting down, Li Lu said, "In fact, I have been thinking about developing the tourism resources of the dry port. ”
Motioning for the two to drink tea, Li Ludao, "During this time, I have been thinking about the development direction of the dry port. The dry port area has a number of excellent harbors and has the second largest island in terms of area. In fact, the natural harbour of the dry port city alone is one of the finest harbours on a par with Amsterdam. Coupled with the excellent geographical location, I am full of confidence in the economic development of the dry port. ”
After a pause, he said, "In terms of tourism resources, it is even more unique, the second largest island can be developed into an international tourist island, and the tourism resources of the peninsula of Lugang City are very rich, with the world's only Maer Lake." ”
Smiling, he said to Wade, "Wade, you provide advanced tourism development experience, we provide resources, this thing is promising." ”
Wade smiled with great satisfaction and said, "Yes, I myself also see the tourism resources of the dry port area, after development, it will not be long before it will become an international tourist resort, which I am very confident in." ”
Wells was in a hurry, and he couldn't talk about it, the key was that he kept glancing at Wade, but Wade didn't seem to notice, he could only be anxious and listen to them talking about these insignificant cooperation intentions. What kind of tourism development arms dealers are engaged in, this is too nonsense.
The more anxious you are, the more anxious you are.
Li Lu seemed to have forgotten about that matter, and actually started the topic of "tourism development" and chatted with Wade enthusiastically, and Wade actually expressed his opinions enthusiastically as if he had made an appointment.
Wade said, "Lu, your Red Star Wharf, I think you can expand it, dredge the channel, and build it into a standard that can berth 100,000 tons of ships." Don't forget, starting in June, you're getting tens of millions of barrels of crude oil arriving in your port every year. But I see you don't even have oil storage facilities, let alone a refinery. ”
Li Lu said with a smile, "Most of the crude oil in the early stage has been sold to other companies, so there is no rush in this regard." Moreover, the construction of oil storage facilities is only a few months away for us. Let's talk about the development of Long Beach, Mr. Wade, if you have any intentions on your side, let's hurry up and enter the substantive stage. ”
"Of course, I'm interested." Wade smiled, "Maybe you don't know, I just started an investment company and am looking for projects. ”
"That's good." Li Lu nodded slightly.
Wells's heart is about to burst into flames, oh my God, this is the scene of formal business negotiations between Grumman and Red Star Factory!
After laughing and talking in a friendly atmosphere for a few minutes, Li Mu stopped talking, his eyes fell on Wells's side, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wells, come here this time, how long do you plan to stay, or I will arrange it, you stay here for a while longer, and take a good walk." In terms of modernization, the dry port is not as good as Shanghai, but in terms of natural scenery and cultural precipitation, our dry port completely overshadows Shanghai. ”
Finally able to get down to business, Wells tried to put on a smile and said, "Thank you Mr. Lee for your kindness, in fact I want to relax too, but time is really tight." First of all, I would like to express my apologies and deep uneasiness for my first meeting with you in Shanghai, and I hope that Mr. Li can give him full understanding. ”
He didn't seem to intend to give Li Lu a chance to change the topic, and quickly cut to the point. He should be glad that Li Lu is proficient in English, and there is no translator as a transit, so the communication between them is more effective.
Li Lu said, "In business, if you can't talk about it once, you can do it twice, and if you can't talk about it once, then you can do it for a year, especially if we are engaged in the arms trade, which involves a large amount of capital and many restrictions in all aspects, right, so you don't have to blame yourself." ”
"Thank you very much Mr. Lee for your leniency." Wells took a deep breath and said, "Grumman believes that cooperating with you, Mr. Li, is very much in line with the company's future development, and for the Tomcat project, the company's senior management believes that cooperating with you will be a win-win situation." ”
Li Lu glanced at Wade with a smile and said, "It seems that your company's attitude has changed quite a bit." ”
Wells hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, we are willing to transfer the variable sweep wing technology, and at the same time, twenty-four Tomcat fighters will be sold to your company." ”
"In other words, you agreed to all the conditions I put forward in Shanghai before." Li Ludao.
"That's right, that's right." Wells Road.
He was frightened by Wade, and hurriedly threw out the conditions, trying to block the way for Li Lu to change his mind. However, what needs to be changed still has to be changed.
Li Lu thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Wells, more than a month has passed, and I regret it. ”
"What is this?" Wells felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Wade gave Wells a look - look, I'll just say things will change.
Li Lu apologized, "The main thing is technology transfer. For us, variable swept wing technology is a technology that can be reserved, and you know that our Red Star Factory does not have strong aviation research and development capabilities. It's just that the situation has changed a little. We, the Red Star Plant, have just concluded a cooperation agreement with the West German company MBB for the joint development of the MCH-107 airliner. Of course, as you know, even though it is only a passenger aircraft, MBB started by developing combat aircraft, and they are willing to transfer technology to our Red Star. ”
"This ......," Wilston was anxious, "Mr. Li, it is inappropriate for you to do this, based on the spirit of contract, even going back on your word is a very unpopular corporate behavior in your Huaxia." ”
"Mr. Wells, there is no agreement between the Red Star Factory and Grumman. Are you saying that I am responsible for what I say? Li Lu asked, staring into Wells' eyes.
Wells was speechless - you can say that, but people can deny having said that. There is no point in seizing on these verbal promises.
"No, no, Mr. Li, you misunderstood." Wells didn't know how to explain it.
Wade said, "Lu, Orson is saying that he hopes to continue to communicate with you sincerely about this matter, of course, the conditions can also be discussed." ”
Wells had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, Mr. Li, we can continue to communicate, everything can be discussed." ”
Recognizing the facts is what Wells needs to do right now, and Wade, a bystander, knows better than he the situation Grumman faces. In fact, with the power of the Wade family, what Wade said is almost a sure thing - some peer companies want to bring down Grumman and then merge.
"That's good, if we can talk, let's talk."
