Chapter 1088 The Advantage Is Mine!
It was a chaotic Friday morning, with wars raging everywhere.
Li Xuewu was already at a loss for words, not knowing how to describe the morning with two precious children at the same time, even if Lu Shuren came.
Li Ning was in a bad mood when she woke up in the morning, crying and making a fuss, clinging to Gu Ning and not letting go.
Li Shu ate too much cakes last night, and her stomach was uncomfortable, so she cried and made a fuss.
Qin Jingru prepared breakfast, Han Jiankun packed the car, and Li Xuewu had to serve himself and help the two children.
He coaxed this one, asked Gu Ning to wash her face, coaxed that one, asked his mother to brush her teeth, and made a big fuss.
Even though he was so busy, the phone rang, and Li Xuewu ran over to answer it, but he heard his mother-in-law's voice. It turned out that Mu Hongyan had given birth to a big fat boy weighing 7.6 jin.
The mother-in-law's joy could be heard from the phone, and Li Xuewu quickly congratulated her and asked about his sister-in-law's health.
"Everything is fine, mother and child are safe--"
Ding Fengxia smiled and said: "Hongyan also asked me to thank you, saying that the supplements and clothes you mailed were received."
"Hehehe--it was all Xiaoning and my mother who arranged it, I dare not take credit."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "A few days ago, Xiaoning told me that she was thinking about you and sister-in-law, and calculated that the day was coming soon. It's really a happy event."
Ding Fengxia heard Li Shu crying and asked what happened and why she made her granddaughter cry.
Li Xuewu smiled and explained a few words, then said that his mother was also there, and asked her to talk on the phone.
Although Liu Yin has been a housewife for a lifetime and Ding Fengxia has been a cadre for a lifetime, it is not inappropriate for the two of them to sit together and talk on the phone.
They talked about family matters and cared about each other, and it seemed that there was no end to the words.
Li Xuewu coaxed his daughter, rubbed her belly, and asked Gu Ning who came downstairs if he wanted to take his daughter to the hospital.
Before Gu Ning could say anything, Li Shu was frightened and cried, thinking that she would have to get an injection if she went to the hospital. She was most afraid of this and refused to do it.
Li Shu felt uncomfortable when she woke up in the morning. Gu Ning checked her and said that she was fine.
Now she heard Li Xuewu's worry, so she asked Li Shu how she felt, and gently pressed her daughter's stomach with her hand to confirm that she was fine again.
Li Xuewu was relieved and teased her daughter if she wanted to eat a piece of cake, and pressed it, to fight poison with poison.
Li Shu had learned her lesson, and shook her little head and said no, she would never eat cakes again.
Li Xuewu estimated that his daughter's memory would last for at most three seconds after her stomach stopped hurting. She was just a little greedy cat.
The morning's hustle and bustle had a turning point because of the good news from her mother-in-law.
It was time to eat and go to work. Li Xuewu felt much more comfortable when he came out of the house.
No wonder many men like to linger in the unit and don't want to go home. If they can't stay in the unit, they go to drink, play cards and sing.
What they drank was not wine, what they played was not cards, and what they sang was not songs, but escape and loneliness.
——
The command car stopped at the bottom of the security building. Before Li Xuewu could go upstairs, the leaders of the main office building opposite came down.
A large group of white shirts came and scared Li Xuewu, who thought they were here to greet him.
"Deputy Director Li, the trade negotiation meeting is about to start. The leader invites you to go over."
"So early? It's only eight o'clock--"
The secretary of the Commission Office came to inform him, and Li Xuewu raised his hand and looked at his watch in disbelief.
The secretary smiled and replied: "The meeting place is in the guesthouse. The legal and commercial team will arrive at 8:30. The leader means to go there first."
"Okay, okay, I get it."
Li Xuewu smiled helplessly, motioned Peng Xiaoli to go upstairs to help him get his notebook and documents, and he walked across the street.
Li Huaide saw him coming and waved his hand, motioning a car to go over.
"I remember the time was set at 9 o'clock, why is it earlier?"
Li Xuewu greeted several other leaders and got into Li Huaide's car.
Li Huaide signaled Li Haiyang to drive, then turned to Li Xuewu and said: "Maybe the French also think that today is a tug-of-war."
"What do the French know about fighting--"
Li Xuewu laughed and teased, then shook his head slightly and said: "The one who comes is not kind."
"The kind ones don't come, I am looking forward to Chantal bringing us some good news from France, I hope so."
Li Huaide smiled and looked at the factory area outside the car window. From the moment the approval document for the ecological industrial zone came down, the office area, laboratory building, and various functional buildings will also enter the countdown.
He is now more calm and generous, and he has unconsciously handled external affairs with the demeanor of a future group leader.
Red Star Factory also gave him enough courage, even when facing the French Santaya Group.
Compared with his mentality when he participated in the Guangzhou Foreign Commodities Fair last year, Li Huaide's self-confidence has been fully improved.
Foreign companies of average size may not necessarily be in his eyes.
It seems that he thinks that only international trade groups like Santaya are worthy of his efforts.
Is this really the case?
In Li Xuewu's opinion, the Red Star Factory is still in its infancy, and it is a good way to cast a wide net to grab everything at once.
Moreover, the companies that can enter the mainland for cooperation have been screened and inspected, and a small size does not mean a small power.
Look at the little guy Art from Kuwait, isn't he also a small international trader, but his business is not small at all.
Such guys are more daring and dare to buy and sell anything as long as the profit in the trade process is higher than the risk.
In fact, there are no trade restrictions at this time, let alone worrying about any international impact. It is time to strike with a big hammer.
Use cheap goods to smash the trade barriers set by capital in the form of dumping, and let those monopoly capitalists taste the iron fist of market liberalization.
It is impossible to import mature goods domestically. First, there is no stable distribution channel, and second, it is not suitable for the current domestic market.
However, importing technology and production equipment, as well as production raw materials, is still encouraged.
Otherwise, how did the Red Star Factory declare customs for importing so many technologies and equipment with foreign companies?
At present, the mainland is seriously lacking in technology and equipment. No matter which unit, as long as you have the ability, it doesn’t matter if you get aircraft carrier manufacturing technology.
On the other hand, Li Xuewu’s advice to Li Huaide is to build the tertiary industry of the Red Star Factory and the United Industry into an industrial manufacturing aircraft carrier.
In other words, processing and technology learning are carried out simultaneously. After mastering the technology and increasing production, it is necessary to feed back and expand trade.
The domestic market lacks the soil for high consumption, but it can implement market liberalization trade under the planned economy.
For example, cheap cars, cheap motorcycles, cheap electrical appliances and small hardware commodities, etc.
This is true for both domestic and foreign markets.
Quickly master production skills and technologies, and use the current relatively cheap productivity to build an efficient and stable production core power plant.
The purchase order given by the foreign business is 100 units, so the Red Star Factory will produce 300 units.
One hundred of them will be delivered to foreign businessmen, one hundred will serve the domestic market, and the remaining one hundred will be sold in the form of dumping.
The news that Li Xuewu can confirm is that Lijiapo is currently developing a small appliance and small commodity business model, and Nanhan is also developing Hanjiang Industry.
Not to mention Xiaoguizha, there has long implemented an industrial revival and re-emergence plan.
His opinion is not to be picky, regardless of the size of the foreign businessmen, only those who can bring actual benefits to the Red Star Factory are good foreign businessmen.
The determination of the status of the joint industry and the joint tertiary industry has laid the foundation for joint trade and foreign trade, and brought new development opportunities to the metallurgical industry and the steel rolling industry.
The metallurgical industry will continue to develop in the future, expand production capacity, and provide more and better quality steel.
The steel rolling industry cannot be satisfied with the status quo, but must expand and advance into more fields.
Because there are relatively prosperous hardware industries and downstream industries such as automobiles and ships to support it, any excess capacity can be consumed.
The industrial chain has already formed scale and specialization. Next, Hongxing Factory only needs to continuously expand sales channels and expand the foreign trade environment to achieve continuous upgrading of the industry.
This time, the Santaya Group took the initiative to cooperate, and a big reason was that it valued the comprehensive production capacity of Hongxing Factory.
There are metallurgy, steel rolling, hardware, automobiles, ships, and even food and electronics industries, and even industrialized industries.
What is industrialized industry?
It is a service-oriented industry that supports this set of industrial systems, including tertiary industry and joint industry, as well as the newly established United Savings Bank and Hongxing Education Institution.
The composition of these institutions cannot directly show how much production capacity there is, but it can show the combat effectiveness and vitality of an enterprise.
Among the enterprises that Santaya has cooperated with, all of them are industry trusts.
In fact, the background check documents of Santaya Group also clearly show that Red Star Factory is indeed a rising trust enterprise.
In the international market, industry trusts are common and exist in the capital and social systems. They are different in nature, but the meaning is the same.
Chantal's vision is unique and wise. She keenly discovered the development of this factory in the process of contacting Red Star Factory.
She understands what Red Star Factory needs and wants to do, or calculates the future development goals and potential of Red Star Factory.
So now she has to act decisively, to be a true friend who helps in times of need, not a false friend who adds icing on the cake.
France has already opened a foreign affairs embassy in the mainland, and has carried out relatively deep cooperation in the fields of economy, humanities, trade, etc.
With this foundation, there is no reason for Chantal Group not to choose a test field here and open up a new economic and industrial plantation.
Very cleverly, Chantal's plan to snipe the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets coincided with Li Xuewu's. They were both aiming to destroy the other party's manufacturing market.
Only when the other party's industry cannot develop can their own products be sold.
Such a business concept is very bandit, right?
But this is the essence of commercial competition! ——
The welcome ceremony of Red Star Factory was well prepared. Today's guest house was decorated with lights and colors, and it was full of joy.
How could it not be joyful? The God of Wealth came to give money. If it weren't for the changed times, it would have to be a ritual, burning incense and praying, bathing and changing clothes.
Welcome the God of Wealth——!
Of course, before welcoming the God of Wealth, you have to get rid of the little ghost, otherwise how can the God of Wealth come to your home.
There are three main guests of Santaya Group, first of all, President Chantal, Vice President William Robin, and Economic Commissioner Amandine of the Foreign Affairs Embassy.
There are more than a dozen other negotiators in economics, law, business, etc., all dressed in suits and leather shoes, very professional.
The appearance of Amandine from the Foreign Affairs Office was not surprising to the Red Star Factory, because there were also comrades from the Foreign Affairs Department and the Economic and Trade Department participating.
Zhou Gancheng and Gao Yaqin were in the negotiation team of the Red Star Factory today. They will be responsible for the supervision and support of this international trade negotiation.
In contrast, the aura of the Red Star Factory as the host is not weak at all.
From the beginning of entering the factory area, there were guidance and protection from the Security Department's escort team along the way.
Three 250CC motorcycles with standard paint were used as guide vehicles to lead the way, and two Red Star Antelopes with the same paint followed as front and rear security vehicles.
It can be said that in terms of safety and etiquette, many companies nowadays have achieved what they cannot do.
The French business representatives rode in five large Mercedes-Benz cars, which were very aura, but they still made these foreigners dazzled in front of the steel behemoth.
When the two sides met, the first thing they saw was a group of cadres dressed in white shirts and black pants standing in front of the guesthouse to greet them.
When Santaya and his group got off the car, a beautiful waiter dressed in more fashionable clothes gave them welcome flowers.
This is different from other factories and enterprises they visited, where primary school students wearing red scarves gave wreaths or gifts.
When they came to the Red Star Factory, the most intuitive feeling was professionalism, seriousness, and grace.
The cadres and employees here are more contemporary, and their conversations have an international perspective.
The people of the Santaya Group can clearly feel that the trade characteristics and economic exchange potential of the Red Star Factory are very deep.
Just to say one thing, when they visited other factories and enterprises, the translators were arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, unless they brought their own.
But it is not like this here. Many young people in white shirts followed them and provided standard translation work whenever needed.
It is not difficult to see that the cadres and staff here still have mainland characteristics, such as badges on their chests, notebooks in their hands, etc.
This differentiated contrast made the people of the Santaya Group very novel and delighted.
Finally, there is a company that can have a normal conversation.
In international trade, everyone knows that the mainland is a commercial area full of gold to be developed.
But there are only a handful of people who really have the courage to break in. Not only must they be politically qualified, but they must also have a certain network and foundation.
For example, the economic exchange visit that just ended in Guangzhou almost exhausted them to death.
This year's Guangzhou Foreign Trade Commodity Exchange Fair is very special, and its meaning has changed.
In the past, it was to create economic benefits, enhance the development capabilities of enterprises, and open up foreign trade markets.
What about now?
It has been forced to change to a window to "show the achievements of planned economy to the international capital market."
Intuitively speaking, the trade fair is not pure.
In fact, the one that Red Star Factory participated in was not pure, and this time it was even more serious.
You see people from Red Star Factory wearing badges, and people from foreign affairs and other departments wearing badges and holding red books?
Actually, it's not. Turning around and looking at the opposite side, the people from Santaya are also the same.
A group of mixed-haired foreigners also wear badges on their chests, and each of them holds a red book in a formal manner. Li Xuewu feels awkward no matter how he looks at them.
Don't you have to read the quotations during the negotiation later? When will we talk about it?
Do you think this is a joke?
If you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, you probably won't be able to buy anything if you can't say a few paragraphs.
If they don't sell to you, they will despise you!
Of course Li Xuewu can recite, and he can even recite the whole book of arguments.
These are not great skills, as long as you have a good memory and work hard.
But if you want to find someone who can recite and use it well in articles and work, you can find him all over the Red Star Factory. Except for the old writers in the General Office who can smoke with Li Xuewu, others don't even have the qualifications to smoke.
Do you think he is so awesome?
Well, he is so awesome, otherwise how do you think he can sit firmly in the position of deputy director of the Management Committee Office.
Yes, he is the deputy director responsible for coordination and execution, but he is also responsible for some management responsibilities, including leadership work.
Li Huaide's work schedule, speech arrangements, and coordination of other leaders' work, etc., don't you have the ability to intimidate those old-timers?
Dealing with these "literati", it's not okay to be tough. Li Xuewu has a gun on his waist, but he never points it at his comrades and brothers.
A pen can beat them to a pulp, and they cry and shout to convince themselves.
He is extremely sophisticated in his grasp of policies, interpretation of the times, and use of words.
Li Xuewu's articles have been collected and sorted by the Management Committee Office as model articles and distributed to new staff members for study.
The old comrades in the department pointed to the collection of documents and told the new young people that when they could write articles at this level, they would be able to gain a foothold in the department.
The young people naturally did not dare to ignore the requirements and opinions of the old comrades, and began to learn and imitate, and even recite the articles.
But the more they learned, the more confused they became, the more sad they became, and the more pressure they felt. They were about to pull their hair off, but they just couldn't write at this level.
One by one, they were sighing that the water in the department was really deep. The articles that were handed to them for study were so profound and difficult to understand. These old comrades must be very powerful people.
But after a long time, when these young people gradually figured out who signed the articles, they started to curse.
Especially after hearing about the amazing level of Deputy Director Li's copywriting in the factory, they were full of contempt for those old comrades.
Damn! I got cheated!
If you have the ability to write such an article, try to write one!
It's not that they don't work hard, nor that they don't learn or have no talent, but the target level of learning is too high, and it's hard for them to catch up.
These old silver coins are deliberately giving them a warning to let them know how powerful they are.
Now they know that Deputy Director Li is very powerful, and these old silver coins are really shady.
To write such an article, in addition to having a rich reading foundation, you must also cultivate a unique perspective and vision, and more importantly, have management experience in business.
How do young people who have just joined the work write?
If you copy others, the articles you write are also empty, homogeneous, and without any oil and water. How can you improve your personal ability!
So everyone in the Commission Office knows that Director Li's speech manuscripts are mostly sent to Deputy Director Li for review and finalization, otherwise he won't use them.
Li Xuewu has a level, but it doesn't mean he is willing to say it or use it in public.
When William Robin shook hands with him, he came up and said to him, "Do it yourself, you will have enough food and clothing." He almost broke his defense.
What could Li Xuewu say? He could only answer "self-reliance and hard work" and then shook hands and said hello, hello, welcome.
The meeting between the two sides began in this absurd and interesting atmosphere.
It was not until they entered the negotiation venue together and closed the door that they stopped torturing each other.
The reason why it was a closed-door meeting was that both parties emphasized the confidentiality and security of this cooperation. During the negotiation process, it was strictly forbidden to disclose the content related to the negotiation, including various figures.
In order to organize this negotiation, the Red Star Factory took out its own real economic data, which will be confidential in future international trade negotiations.
The Santaya Group also did not want its competitors to know how many projects it had given inclinations during the negotiation process with mainland enterprises.
So once the door was closed, the two sides negotiated, applause rang, and gold was made.
——
"What's going on inside? Are you still talking?"
It was almost noon, and Qin Huairu stood outside the door of the conference room and looked around anxiously.
There were four security department cadres standing at the door, and they could not get close at all.
Closed-door meeting, no joke, the French business representatives were particularly satisfied with the meeting arrangement of the Red Star Factory this time.
Because in France, even at the highest level of business negotiations, there would be no armed guards standing at the door to maintain the safety of the meeting.
However, the meeting was very difficult, and from time to time, negotiators would leave the table to go to the bathroom.
At this time, service personnel and security guards would follow the other party to go to the bathroom and then follow them back.
This level of security directly improved the level of the meeting and made the intense conversation inside more attractive and curious.
Qin Huairu was not curious. Even if she was allowed to go in now, she couldn't understand what was being talked about inside.
No, it was not because of the foreign language, but because they all spoke Chinese. She could understand those words individually, but she would be confused if they were really put together.
Waiting at the door because the lunch meeting during the negotiation break was prepared by the guesthouse.
According to the negotiation time, the meeting should be adjourned at this time, and the two sides should have lunch together, and then rest for half an hour to continue the discussion.
She was anxious because she couldn't wait for the meeting to end. Not only was she anxious, but the chef and waiter were also anxious. What should they do when they were in a hurry?
But she got the chance. When she saw the director of the sales department Gou Zirong coming out of the conference room, she leaned over and asked, "Are you not going to eat? Are you going to keep talking?"
"I don't know either." Gou Zirong smiled bitterly and pointed to the toilet and said, "I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I came out. Deputy Director Li is still arguing."
"What are you arguing about?" Qin Huairu knew she had said the wrong thing after asking. She waved her hand and pinched her forehead and said, "How are we going to prepare this meal?"
Gou Zirong didn't care. He went to the bathroom first. When he came back, he whispered to Qin Huairu that Deputy Director Li was determined not to eat unless the interim goals were agreed upon!
Good guy! Starving and waiting for an eagle!
Qin Huairu knew that it was Li Xuewu who caused the trouble. When Gou Zirong came out just now, the quarrel coming from the door was the loudest and fastest from Li Xuewu.
She couldn't understand what Li Xuewu was arguing about, because Li Xuewu was speaking a foreign language, and it sounded like he was cursing on the street.
Gou Zirong didn't dare to leave for too long. He nodded to Qin Huairu and went back.
In the meeting room, the meeting table where both parties sat opposite each other was very large and luxurious, more luxurious than the meeting table in the main office building, and it was still an antique.
At the beginning, the boss of Red Star Factory imported a whole set of conference tables and chairs from the UK, which was very rich and luxurious. The factory was unwilling to use them.
Even Li Huaide, who likes to enjoy life, dare not use the conference tables and chairs on a daily basis. How luxurious do you think they are?
However, in the eyes of foreign businessmen, the environment here can only be said to meet the standards of a trust enterprise. They are not surprised or shocked.
They are just surprised and puzzled by the cunning and meanness of Red Star Factory.
They are all mainlanders, and they are all cadres cultivated by the planned economy. Why is there such a big gap between Mr. Li opposite and the leaders of other companies who are magnanimous and rush to cooperate!
Now the atmosphere in the meeting room is very tense. The two sides have already slammed the table and have repeatedly entangled and discussed the focus of the negotiation, and they are very angry.
After Gou Zirong came in, he quietly returned to his seat and continued to listen to the translator's retelling.
There was no way around it. Few of the Red Star Factory’s cadres knew French, and even fewer could speak it.
No one could do what Li Xuewu did, sitting next to Director Li and engaging in a debate with a group of scholars.
At the beginning of the morning meeting, the French Santaya Group elaborated on the current market in Southeast Asia and the wider space.
It must be said that Santaya Group has a particularly big appetite, otherwise their president Chantal would not have to stay in the mainland for a month, open up the door to the foreign affairs embassy, and return to the country to resolve the doubts of the board of directors.
The market situation is very complicated, and Santaya's compensation and outsourcing agreement is very comprehensive.
To do agricultural production equipment, engineering machinery, light industrial machinery, food processing machinery and parts supply industry in Thailand.
To do motorcycles, jeeps, excavators, bulldozers, graders, rollers, elevators, tower cranes, concrete mixing equipment, steel structures, car cranes, pile driving machinery and other industries in Annan.
To do the automotive industry, electronics, electrical industry, metal processing industry, mold manufacturing industry, machine tools and machine tool parts and accessories in Malaysia.
To do the mold, motor, electronics, metal and plastic processing industry in Indonesia.
…
In response to the industrial development needs of different countries and regions, Santaya Group has given a big pie, with many projects and a lot of content.
What does this mean?
This is at the Red Star Steel Factory. They made a request and asked if you can produce it!
How does the Red Star Factory accept it?
Of course, they accept it all, otherwise the negotiation will not be able to proceed.
Agricultural production equipment, motorcycles, jeeps, electronics, electrical appliances, molds, machine tools, etc., these are all the business scope of the Red Star Factory.
Engineering machinery, food processing machinery and plastic processing machinery are a bit more troublesome.
Engineering machinery is not just the local methods that Li Xuewu once asked Dongfeng Construction to do.
This is the industrial production of professional engineering equipment, such as excavators, bulldozers, graders, and rollers.
For example, the Red Star Factory, which has its own food industry but needs to import food processing machinery, wants to take the other party's big order. What should it do?
Including canning machines, filling machines, capping machines, bottling and canning machines, frying machines, baking machines, freezing equipment and vacuum packaging machines.
These food processing equipment were introduced by the Red Star Factory from Xiaoguiza in order to build a food processing plant.
Now the French businessmen asked, can you make it yourself and sell it to us?
How did Red Star Factory answer?
Do it! We have to say yes even if we have to pinch our noses.
It is naturally impossible to research a set of food processing equipment for three food processing factories.
Li Xuewu would rather spend a lot of money to import it from abroad than waste time and energy on such a one-time research project.
But now the French businessmen can provide technology and production equipment, as well as corresponding products and orders, so what can't Red Star Factory do?
Among the 16 companies integrated this time, there are seven mechanical processing factories. After the integration, it is not difficult to create several corresponding production workshops.
Now the contradiction between the two sides is not whether Red Star Factory can produce, but how to produce and how to ensure the channel.
Can Red Star Factory, which controls the supply chain of auto parts, be suffocated to death?
We cannot produce engineering machinery and food processing machinery, as well as those strange equipment mentioned in the list.
But we can search for factories that produce these equipment across the country, and we can ensure the quality and supply of products through cooperative development of this project.
But Robin, the vice president of Santaya, strongly opposed this kind of diffused cooperation. They only negotiated with Red Star Factory, not national enterprises.
In other words, Santaya must ensure that these production equipment and technologies will not be lost.
The mainland does not pay attention to patent technology, but foreign countries pay great attention to and take this condition seriously.
The tertiary industry and joint industry proposed by Red Star Factory do not meet the conditions of the Santaya Group for the export of technology and equipment.
Li Xuewu slammed the table and asked, even if we build a separate factory and take in your equipment and technology, and then distribute it to brother units, you can still come to sue what?
This sentence directly raised Robin's eyebrows on the opposite side. He has never seen such a shameless person!
The French business negotiation team did not understand why Red Star Factory wanted to share the technology and equipment that it had worked so hard to negotiate, instead of keeping it alone and earning the wealth brought by the technological gap.
Li Xuewu could only say that these people's brains were crazy. No matter how much he paid attention to the advancement of technology, he would not treasure the technology provided by outsiders.
Why?
Because what they can give you is definitely not the bottom of the box, there must be a trump card that limits and leads this technology.
Li Xuewu attaches importance to the technical reserve capacity and independently developed technology, which is the core key point of enterprise development.
Li Xuewu must make clever use of these introduced technologies and equipment.
He is the most skilled in playing the game of making money out of nothing, and he wants to win twice in cooperation.
Li Xuewu is not afraid that the other party provides too much technology and equipment to meet production needs.
These problems must be rejected in a single factory, but it is different in Hongxing Factory.
Li Xuewu is promoting and building a parts production supply chain system, including the field of mechanical production, and will form a monopoly in the entire industry in the future.
As long as you put forward the design plan and requirements, we will come up with a production plan, but we will never build any parts processing plants.
There is no need. We will break up the parts of the goods and send them to enterprises that can produce and process them. Who can take them depends on their ability.
The parts are produced and gathered in the production workshop, and we are only responsible for assembly and debugging.
That is to say, the Red Star Factory of Automobile Technology must maintain the production capacity of core parts, because this is the key to trade competition.
But for industrial suppression and dumping products, the Red Star Factory is unwilling to waste money.
If you want a crane, we will build a crane assembly workshop, not even a warehouse.
Because all parts will be centralized in a supply chain warehouse for management.
The Red Star Factory will take out the full set of equipment provided by the French business, retain the assembled equipment, and the remaining technology and equipment will be cooperated in the form of joint tertiary industry or joint industry.
Screws, connecting rods, bearings, etc. will be tendered from the supply chain, what about special parts?
Hey, we have the Second Machinery Factory in Beijing. We will ask what they can produce. Do you want equipment and technology?
If you want equipment and technology, as long as you open your mouth, I will send it to you later!
The Second Machinery Factory is currently working on a cooperative project with the Red Star Factory, imitating and processing assembly line equipment, and the technology and equipment are fully open. They learn and manufacture at the same time, but the Red Star Factory will get dividends from equipment sales.
This time, Li Xuewu intends to do this with all the technology and equipment, and he wants to squeeze out the oil from the free things!
Li Huaide sat next to Li Xuewu, listening to him negotiating fiercely with the other party in fluent French, and the translator was relaying the content to him.
Previously, several office meetings had been held within the Red Star Factory regarding this negotiation.
Even Jing Yunong, who was going to inspect various offices, postponed his trip and was waiting for them.
Li Xuewu expounded his views on the trade negotiations, and his opinions also conquered all the factory leaders, allowing him to sit in the position of deputy representative.
On his left was Li Huaide, and on his right was Jing Yunong, who was responsible for economic work.
Especially after the negotiation began, Chantal and Robin on the opposite side spoke alternately, but the two of them could not beat Li Xuewu alone.
With the right time, right place, and right people, Li Huaide sat there reservedly and looked at the opposite side proudly: No matter how you look at it, the situation of the negotiation is that the Red Star Factory is beating Santaya, and the advantage is mine!
Look, I, Li Huaide, haven't made a move yet, and the other party can't even get past Li Xuewu, and still wants to talk to me?
Haha! Little trash——!
The two sides went back and forth, and finally reached a stalemate. Saint Taya was exhausted by Li Xuewu alone, especially Old Deng Robin.
This vice president is not an ordinary person. He has held management positions in many companies. It was because Chantal had a huge background that he was poached to be the vice president.
But Li Xuewu on the opposite side is not bad either. Not to mention his previous work experience and understanding of the times, his brain and body are different from ordinary people after he came back, and he has a persistent learning attitude.
On weekdays, he has to stay dormant in the Red Star Factory and learn to be low-key and moderate. It’s really hard to see how capable Li Xuewu is.
Now the cadres of the Red Star Factory who attended the meeting know that it’s several floors high!
They all came to participate in the trade negotiations. At the beginning, they could still say a few words, but later Li Xuewu opened his mouth, and they didn’t know what to say anymore.
Because some people couldn’t understand and couldn’t keep up with the negotiation ideas.
Li Xuewu pulled the pace of the negotiations faster and faster, and he looked like he was not afraid of tiring the other party to death, and he attacked and hit quickly.
As long as the other party raises questions, they will fight back immediately and leave no way out for the other party. Of course, Li Xuewu did not leave any way out for the Red Star Factory.
The secretaries standing at the gate were all looking at the full output of Deputy Director Li in the meeting hall with astonished eyes, while other leaders looked like you should get past Li Xuewu before coming to me.
Robin of Santaya is old after all, and his energy and ideas are trying to compete with Li Xuewu, but this is not young people bullying the elderly.
Seeing the condensation of the atmosphere inside the venue, Amandine, the economic commissioner of the French Foreign Affairs Embassy, communicated with Gao Yaqin of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to speak.
But Li Xuewu, who was watching all directions, did not give them a chance. He had the rhythm of this negotiation in his hands and could not give it to others.
Now is the time to pursue hard, how can others give the French businessmen a chance to breathe, let alone Gao Yaqin, no one can do it.
Li Xuewu suddenly changed his rhythm, no longer arguing about the transfer license of technology and equipment, but talking about the handling of cooperative projects.
Use a more moderate attitude to bypass the contradictions and talk directly about the core projects.
Regarding the heavy engineering machinery required by the French businessmen, Li Xuewu said that the core of the final assembly will be fully controlled by the Red Star Factory to ensure quality and quantity.
The required automobile and motorcycle export projects will be coordinated and produced from the Red Star Factory's automobile manufacturing plant to match trade orders.
For professional equipment with special needs, the Red Star Factory will operate in the form of joint industry as a production model.
In general, the production methods of the cooperation projects are explained from three aspects, three situations, and three forms.
Especially when Li Xuewu mentioned that all forms of trade will be defined as compensation trade, the French business representative finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with this cooperation intention and would renegotiate on this basis.
Put aside disputes and develop together.
But when the French businessmen agreed to this basic cooperation intention, they made another request, that is, the Red Star Factory should help the other party build ships.
Li Xuewu knew that the other party had a secret trick waiting for him, but he didn't expect it to come from the shipyard.
The French businessmen are willing to provide the manufacturing technology and equipment of cargo ships, but they have to help them build cargo ships.
Under the terms of compensatory trade, cargo ships are also one of the commodities for compensation. The other party wants the Red Star Factory to work for them.
What is the production cycle of a jeep?
It's just a few hours, the disadvantage of compensation trade is not obvious.
But the production and manufacturing of a 10,000-ton cargo ship is a big loss for compensation trade.
Li Xuewu now faces two choices, either give up the basis of the agreement that has been negotiated and negotiate other conditions with the other party.
Or take the bait of shipbuilding technology and equipment thrown by the other party and help the other party build ships in the form of labor export.
Do you think foreign businessmen are all fools, giving technology and equipment, selflessly contributing?
How is it possible? Old money capital has played trade in a flower, how can they suffer losses.
Under the conditions of compensation trade, products must be used to repay debts first, and the debts are those equipment and technology. How much and how long to compensate is subject to negotiation.
As long as the other party continues to provide advanced technology and equipment, as long as you still want to have a leading production advantage, this debt can be easily repaid.
The Red Star Factory can only earn low material costs and processing costs.
Facing the trap, what should Li Xuewu choose?
There is no choice!
Because when he wants to cheat others, he must make others feel that he is being cheated!
