Chapter 768 New Direction
Liu Shengnan came to him not just for chatting, but because he had to meet with a minister in Niggiya in the afternoon, and he needed to simply unify his thoughts.
After the two chatted for about ten minutes, she handed over the time to Long Jianhua and his graduate students.
After she left, Long Jianhua continued to communicate with the graduate students. He asked them to go to the cafeteria to get back to eat with them in the office... He said that he, the tutor, invited their guests.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Long Jianhua and Liu Shengnan came to the small square in front of the office building to welcome the visiting Minister Hawthorne of the Niggiya Kingdom.
Three bulletproof cars drove into the square, and Long Jianhua slowly walked forward two steps and arrived at a place not far from the convoy to stand.
The driver got out of the car quickly, and Hawthorne got out of the second car. Long Jianhua walked towards him slowly and smiled and said, "Welcome Minister Hawthorne to the Chongshi Group."
After an introduction to a translation, he strode towards Long Jianhua, "Mr. Long, I have heard of the great name for a long time."
Judging from his words, he doesn't look like a soldier at all.
Back in the small conference room, Long Jianhua said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your continued care of our business. I warmly welcome the minister and his party to visit Chongshi Group. I won't say much about the introduction, please see our group's promotional video."
Although the current Niggiya country is still in a military state, we cannot underestimate the fact that Africa's second strongest country; in the past few years, the sales of Chongshi products have accounted for 40% of the sales in Africa, and the market is not large.
Therefore, even if only one Minister of Industry arrives, Long Jianhua will personally take the reception.
Not for power, just for money... make more money.
After watching the promotional video, Hawthorne nodded, "I have known Chongshi Group before I came, but I didn't expect that after watching this movie, it would be even more surprising. With such strength, your passenger cars, freight vehicles, and walkie-talkies systems rank first in my country's sales, which is not unreasonable."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "That is the love between the Minister and his friends in Nigriya for our products from the Chongshi Group."
After talking about a compliment without oil and salt, Hawthorne glanced around and looked at Long Jianhua, "Mr. Long, I heard that Chongshi Group has jointly organized a petrochemical processing project in the sandy land. I wonder if you are interested in going to our country to run one."
Then he waved his hand, "My country is the second largest country in Africa, with a large population and a broad market. This should be the focus of outstanding visionary entrepreneurs."
Long Jianhua was stunned for a moment and immediately packed up his expression.
When he learned that he was coming to Chongshi Group, he did not explain his intention to visit, but just said that he wanted to come here to see what many companies with the largest market share in Nigriya look like.
To be honest, he didn't want to invest there because the situation was too chaotic, and you just finished singing and I went on stage, which was not enough to worry.
So when he listened to his suggestion, he was a little surprised.
Long Jianhua hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Minister, we have no plans to start a production base in Africa yet. Starting a company, in the words of China, requires the right time, place and people."
"We are expanding too fast now, and skilled employees are not yet available, especially petrochemical processing. The first factory has just started production and has not much experience."
"For the market, we have three petrochemical plants in succession and are already on the verge of oversupply and prices will fall; so even if we invest there at the moment, there will be no profit."
"For enterprises, investment is for profit; of course, I also want to invest there to increase taxes and employment for your country and drive a party's economy."
This is clear, he doesn't want to go.
Seeing him say this, Hawthorne paused for half a minute and continued, "Mr. Long, I know your concerns, but you should see that our situation is still very stable in Africa, and we have the ability to ensure the stability of the domestic situation."
Then, he said slowly, "However, we are not limited to petrochemicals, we can also use many aspects. We also said in the promotional video that you have mining companies and can also invest in mining."
He said this, and Long Jianhua could only laugh, "Mr. Minister, because we have expanded too fast, we haven't had time to take into account Africa. We all know that Africa is vast and rich, and it is a very potential market. To be honest, I don't know much about Africa, and the same is true for your country. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you to introduce your country's situation."
He said this a bit straightforwardly, and violated the taboo of business negotiations.
Even if you don’t know the other party, you need to know something before you know that the other party has a minister. This is the basic common sense of business negotiations.
Liu Shengnan added from the side, "Mr. Long only knows that you are coming to our group for on-site inspection, and the route of the accompanying tour has been determined. Everyone, including me, did not expect that you would give us such a surprise."
Her words made Long Jianhua's mistakes come true, making the other party feel rude because he only wanted to come and see.
Sure enough, Hawthorne touched his shiny forehead and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm just going to make a decision. The main reason is that your company is strong, so I can't wait."
Long Jianhua laughed, "I often do such things. However, this proposal is really good, which has opened up a new direction for me. Our Chongshi Group has been wandering around developed countries. It is time to consider getting out of this circle."
When Hawthorne heard this, he also smiled and said, "Then the relationship is good. I'll briefly introduce the situation in our country."
Long Jianhua waved his hand, "You have introduced it briefly just now, and I agree very much."
Seeing his confused eyes, he smiled, "You said just now that your country has the ability to ensure domestic stability and welcomes us to invest in petrochemicals and mining. This is enough. For the specific situation, we will send people to conduct on-site inspections at that time."
The reason he said this was because he suddenly remembered that the situation in Niggiya is really the most stable in Africa. Since it is the most stable, you can invest.
But responding like this is equivalent to saying nothing, just hanging him.
He said he went to the inspection, who knows when he went?
Perhaps Hawthorne really wanted Chongshi Group to invest, so she immediately mentioned a lot of preferential conditions, such as participating in oil exploration, drilling, investing in any mineral, and the government sent troops to protect the enterprises...
Long Jianhua naturally would not be confused by his empty words. He proposed that if Chongshi Group can be solely owned, it will not be a joint venture. If it is protected by the military, Chongshi Group Security Company must be allowed to enter... Of course, this is outline, and the details need to be discussed in detail.
