Chapter 909 Mozambique National Import and Export Corporation (Please Subscribe!!)
trade between the two countries.
It's not that you have something.
Unless it is irreplaceable, the people have the right to choose.
Otherwise, the things that used to sell for five yuan will be raised to ten yuan by you, and they cannot accept the price, or the function, quality, and style do not meet their requirements.
Once controlled by law, it will be embarrassing.
Government intervention in the market.
This is something that Western countries have always opposed, because if the government can intervene in the market at will, how can capital be freed? Beyond the law, and even gain excess profits.
Jinluo's face was full of entanglements, wondering: "We need to discuss this issue, at least we have to wait until tomorrow to give you an answer. Did you bring your product list?"
"You can fax it over at any time," the soldier said.
"Then give us a copy. You are tired from the plane. Go and rest first." Kinlock said.
"Row."
that's it.
The meeting dispersed.
The delegation of the Bank of Myanmar was arranged to stay in a nearby official hotel, which is the property of the Mozambican government. It is specially used to receive VIP guests, free of charge, and it also operates externally for a fee, which is barely able to maintain a balance of payments.
. . .
Twenty minutes later.
A thick document appeared in front of Kinlok and the heads of relevant departments, as well as a group of economic experts in Mozambique. The entire document has been translated into Portuguese.
One per person.

Dense list.
See them dazzled.
There are also illustrations inside.
These are all products suitable for the Mozambique market. The types only account for about 30% of the Myanmar-Asia Special Economic Zone. Many things cannot be consumed here, and there is no consumption habit.
Such as military equipment, special steel, heavy machinery, petrochemical industrial equipment, many, many, there is almost no market here.
There are not only classifications, but also product performance and price, as well as comparisons with other countries' products. After reading it, everyone has a feeling: Is this guy bragging?
Same price: The quality of Myanmar-Asia SEZ is better than others.
The same quality: The price of Myanmar-Asia Special Economic Zone is lower than others.
There is always an advantage anyway.
"Mr. President, this... is true or false." A vice president wondered.
Jinluo shook his head slightly and said, "We have been working together for a long time. It's easy to know if it's true or not. It's true if you think about it, but, how did these people come about?"
Burmese.
in his memory.
Industrialization began after it died.
But the list in hand, where can the countries that have just started to industrialize can produce, this is the result of the degree that the modern industrialization transformation has almost been completed, is it true? . Looking for Huaxia OEM?
This is not impossible.
The two countries are next to each other.
"But... is it too much?" The vice president wondered.
At this time, Jinluo found the key point again, "This has nothing to do with us, as long as the things can meet the above, the others are not important, but you see, the above clearly stated that we do not provide inferior products.
But,. . . Seems a little expensive. "
Others have noticed this problem.
Although the list of goods has a quality advantage.
However, considering consumption habits, Mozambicans are very price-sensitive. For example, a plastic pot inside is of the same size and weight, but the price is 1.3 times that of Mozambique.
There are detailed data above.
Indicates that its strength is stronger than the others.
It has good durability, can withstand a greater degree of deformation, and is harmless to the human body.
But.
Good is good.
But the question of price is key.
This kind of thing happens to almost every other commodity.
Inexpensive.
In this list, there is a strict bottom line, especially for daily chemical products, toothpaste, shampoo, detergent, soap, and plastic bags, which are closely related to people, all have so-called mandatory safety standards.
Prices are almost twice as high as those of cheap products on the market in Mozambique.
Bad money drives out good money.
This is especially evident in a backward country like Mozambique.
The common people simply do not have the awareness to use high-quality products. As senior executives, of course they are very aware of this issue.
"This is a big problem. The mass consumer market in Mozambique simply cannot accept such prices, and the high-end consumer market has insufficient spending power." The vice president continued to analyze.
The head of Mozambique's finance department also spoke up: "Then what do they think, and how can this improve our financial situation?"
The governor of the central bank said: "Everyone, don't forget one thing, the commodities in it, except for daily chemicals and small commodities. One by one, large items, such as motorcycles, bicycles, and household appliances, people's spending power is still good. Don't stare at the little things."
"But it is undeniable that daily chemicals and small commodities are the mainstream of people's daily consumption. It is difficult for others to make major breakthroughs, especially household appliances. Many places cannot guarantee power supply." People from the financial department were disappointed.
"..."
The direction of the debate keeps changing.
From price to quality.
to the consumption cycle.
Going to the most critical point - how to encourage enterprises to import and consume, this is a problem. Reducing the dependence on non-Asian dollar commodities is not just talk, but there are many difficulties in action.
at last.
Or an economic expert made a suggestion.
"Should we set up a state-run company to import such Asian-dollar goods and enjoy tax-free treatment, otherwise, if those importing companies go to lobby one by one, we will be exhausted and not thankful."
"..."
moment.
Everyone looked at him.
Jinluo clapped the table and said happily: "Good idea, in this way, there is no need to formulate policies to restrict imports, and there is no need to negotiate with those importers. We will complete this step directly."
The crowd also laughed.
I think this is a good way.
The man was smiling.
But in my heart I thought: I received the money, and finally got things done.
"Then let's sum up the specific articles of association of this company first, and talk to them tomorrow."
Kinlock made the final decision.
an afternoon.
They are all discussing the details of the company.
The main thing is to see whose interests this will touch. If there are domestic predators, the import volume of certain sub-dollar commodities must be restricted. Otherwise, you will make enemies with too many people at once, and your phone will not be peaceful. .
at last.
It's approaching evening.
Watch their results.
Each one has a sense of satisfaction.
in an afternoon.
In addition to the company's problem solving.
It also gave them a clear understanding of the current situation of all walks of life in Mozambique, and the economic map seems to be much clearer. They are very measured in which markets can be grabbed and which ones cannot be moved.
Calculate the last one.
If the company is established.
Just until the end of the year.
They can save 1.7 billion US dollars in foreign exchange. Although the reserves will still bottom out and will be spent as soon as they arrive, at least they don't have to borrow dollars, which gives them hope of financial improvement.
. . .
the next day.
Negotiations continue.
Come up.
Kinlok threw out the idea of 'Mozambique National Import and Export Corporation', and wanted to use the name of this company to purchase goods from the Myanmar-Asia Special Economic Zone, instead of restricting the import of other types of goods.
Jinluo excitedly introduced the benefits of this company: "...In this way, whether your products are good or not can be tested by the market, and we can also reduce resistance and invest in trade faster."
"this..."
The soldier pretended to be embarrassed.
all of these.
Of course it's in the plan.
That economist was also blown away.
I was accidentally hit by a stack of banknotes. By the way, it is unrealistic to expect Mozambique to introduce a policy of restricting imports, and it will indeed encounter great resistance.
The public will certainly be against it.
But this 'suggestion' belongs to half of 'internal affairs'. It is inconvenient for the fighters to put forward this. They need their own 'persons' to take this step. Otherwise, once there is a problem with the trade, Mozambique may push the responsibility indiscriminately.
Kinlock has no doubts about him.
Yesterday's suggestion by the soldiers was to restrict the import of goods from other countries, but now it requires market competition. The interests of the two are different. It is normal to hesitate.
Just when Kinlock thought the other party was going to adjourn the meeting to discuss.
The soldier finally said: "Well, we have the same interests. Considering that you also have difficulties, we can agree to this."
"Thank you." Kinlock said happily. He has decided that in the future, the government will use all the products of this company for government procurement. No matter what, the current bad financial situation must be controlled.
pressure.
He will try to resist.
The soldier asked again: "By the way, have you considered it in the non-product aid loan project?"
"Of course." Kinlok nodded quickly, this question was put on hold yesterday due to the matter, and then said: "We plan to start two projects, the first is the construction of a new port in Maputo, which will be mainly used for ore transportation.
The second project is the Crules hydropower project. "
The former is used to earn foreign exchange, while the latter is to improve the situation of electricity shortage in Maputo and surrounding areas.
Two projects have been established for many years.
The previous one also failed.
The latter only completed the project establishment and survey, and even the design was completed, but did not start the bidding, because they had no money, so they could only make plans and find something to do for the relevant departments below.
"No problem, we will review the total price of the two projects first, and we can approve them up to the limit. We will give you an answer tomorrow morning at the latest." The soldier nodded.
Cooperation negotiated.
All are happy.
leftover.
Just execute.
