In a small conference room next to the banquet hall.

The neatly dressed waiter came over, added golden champagne to the goblet in front of Qin Zhiyuan and Louis Renault, bowed back, and quietly closed the door.

"Cheers, I wish us a happy cooperation." Louis Renault picked up the bubbling champagne and saluted Qin Zhiyuan.

"Cheers! For victory! "Qin Zhiyuan has become addicted to being a god, no matter what he does, he can give it a special meaning.

"Finally, I have time to be alone with you, Qin, and I'm looking forward to your suggestion." Louis Renault paused, then lowered his glass and listened intently.

"First of all, I have a question for you, Louis." Qin Zhiyuan is anti-guest-oriented.

Qin Zhiyuan held the bottom of the cup with the tiger's mouth, heated the wine with the temperature of the palm of his hand, so that the fragrance of the wine fully emanated, and then gently shook the cup in his hand, put the wine glass under his nose and sniffed it gently, sighing with satisfaction and a long aftertaste.

Louis Renault looked at Qin Zhiyuan's entire set of movements with appreciative eyes, and made a gesture of "excuse me".

"What scale do you want to take your business? France's largest? Or the largest in the world? "Qin Zhiyuan drew a big pie first.

"Bigger, of course, the better!" Louis Reynaud was sure.

"But Qin, you must know that the pavilion in the air is not as good as a grain of sand in my hand, and I am more willing to seize the present than the future." As the head of France's largest company, Louis Reynaud knows how to keep his feet on the ground.

"Of course! We should look forward to the future, but we should also live in the present. Speaking of theory, Qin Zhiyuan is not inferior to anyone: "Only with dreams can there be a future, and only then can there be the motivation to struggle." If there is no dream, people are no different from salted fish. ”

Louis Reynolds smiled heartily, indicating that he was not a salted fish.

"If we talk about the automotive industry alone, Renault has done it in France. If not a single catfish breaks in, then Renault will lose its vitality and be eliminated from the market. Qin Zhiyuan first threw out the catfish effect.

"Catfish? What do you mean? Louis Renault didn't know.

"American Ford, or some other Ford, or a German Mercedes-Benz, who knows." Qin Zhiyuan is not exaggerating, if Renault maintains this status, in just three years, the Dutch arms dealer André Citroën will launch the Citroën Model A at half the price of similar products.

Since then, Renault has lost its dominant position in the French market.

"Who can say for sure what the future holds?" Louis Renault had a vision for the future, but he wasn't worried.

According to Renault's current upward analysis, Renault does not show signs of decline.

"Can you ask in a witty way, what is the annual production of cars by Renault?" Qin Zhiyuan decided to use facts as evidence to increase his persuasiveness.

"About 10,000 vehicles." Louis Renault set up an ambush, and Renault's annual production exceeded 10,000 units three years ago.

"Do you know what Ford is producing a year now?" For the complacent Louis Renault, Qin Zhiyuan was a little disdainful.

No matter how great the creator of a business is, when he is satisfied with the status quo, that is when the business begins to decline. Louis Renault is like that now, he is so satisfied with the current state of Renault that he has lost his ambition. However, Qin Zhiyuan still has to try his best to promote cooperation with Renault, because so far, Renault is the most suitable partner for Qin Zhiyuan.

"Their Model Ts are selling very well and producing a lot of money, but the Americans don't have the intention of entering the European market, and they can't get in easily." Louis Renault has enough capital to be proud of.

Don't think that there are no trade barriers in the Western world, and they are also very much at each other's expense. The market is so big, if you have more to eat, I will have less to eat, and in the face of survival, everyone is very realistic.

"Sober up, my friend. The Americans are considering entering World War I, and if France wants the Americans to join the war, France will definitely pay a price. Between countries, all interests are bargaining chips and can be traded. In order to break through Louis Renault's psychological defense, Qin Zhiyuan is also quite hard.

"Perhaps, who knows!" When it comes to the entry of Americans into the war, Louis Renault also has a shadow on his face.

It seems that Qin Zhiyuan did not guess wrong, the French were indeed in contact with the Americans, and perhaps the British were also involved. No, the British were definitely involved.

"Ford now produces a car every hour and a half, and there are hundreds of such production lines in Highland Park, how fast do you think they can produce it?" Qin Zhiyuan is not exaggerating, just three years ago, Ford had produced a total of 10 million vehicles, accounting for 90 percent of the world's total automobile production.

"As I've already said about this, I don't have enough manpower, I don't have enough skilled workers, I don't have enough engineers, and our existing production lines can't guarantee full operation right now." Louis Renaud also had his own difficulties, and the reason why the French had conscripted too many people for the war effort was a positive reason.

"That's exactly what I'm going to advise you, what can I get if I can provide you with enough manpower?" When talking about business with Westerners, you don't have to beat around the bush to do Tai Chi, just get straight to the point.

"You mean your Chinese workers? With all due respect, I don't think Chinese workers are qualified for the position of assembly line workers, they have not even been exposed to industrial production, and they are not competent enough. Louis Renault shook his head, slightly disappointed by Qin Zhiyuan's suggestion.

"I don't agree with that! It is true that the Chinese have no exposure to industrial production, but this does not excuse the Chinese from being incompetent for the job. Give them three months to study, they can be competent for any job, all you have to pay is three months of room and board, if the Chinese are not qualified for the job after three months, I can decide on their behalf, don't want these three months' salary, but if they can do it, then you can make up these three months' salary, what do you think of this suggestion? "Qin Zhiyuan is pure and seductive, in order to send Chinese people into the factory, Qin Zhiyuan is ready to hemorrhage.

"That's not a bad suggestion." Louis Renault groaned for a long time and approved Qin Zhiyuan's suggestion: "So, what do you want from me?" ”

"Get what you can give, artillery, rifles, cars, even airplanes, as long as you can, I want it, please note, I give money!" Qin Zhiyuan is not begging, he is doing business with Louis Renault.

"Is it any good for you to do that? As far as I know, the weapons used by your troops are all supplied by the French military, and you don't have to pay for them yourself. Louis Reynaud still had doubts that for a businessman, all temptations could have hidden traps.

"If the Chinese can enter your factory, then maybe in two or three years, I will have a group of skilled workers, and these workers will come into my factory after the war." Qin Zhiyuan does not hide his plans, who he wants to cooperate, basic trust is the foundation.

"So, how many people do you have?" Louis Renault was tempted, the manpower problem had been bothering him for a long time, and Luis Renault didn't want to suffer anymore.

"10,000, or 20,000, 30,000, see how much you want!" Qin Zhiyuan has enough manpower in his hands, he has been appointed by the Beiyang government, and now the Chinese workers in Europe are all capital in Qin Zhiyuan's hands.
