Chapter 937 How to use
Although the time for verbal battles was not long, both sides were a little tired. So they decided to take a break, smoke a cigar, and ask the staff to send refreshments.
The special cigars produced in Cuba have a very mellow taste. Jing Jian joked while sucking the clouds and spitting out mist, "Pan Caifu, it seems that the lawyer still needs to come here. The time spent in Moscow will not be short. You have to extort all the money. I will be dependent on your house for a lot of food and drink?"
"Haha." Pan Caifu said, "Welcome to my house as a guest. My wife's cooking skills are very good. But let Nona accompany you, and our Soviet people are very welcoming."
A laughter sounded in the reception room, and Nona coquettishly glanced at the group of "unjust" men. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and everyone felt like a big stone was falling in their hearts. Needless to say, Jing Jian got a large loan of almost free rubles. Pan Caifu got the most precious US$2 billion in foreign exchange at this time. Although it was not direct cash and needed to be cashed indirectly, if it was placed as a reserve fund, if it was operated well, it could completely stabilize the domestic ruble currency worth more than 10 billion US dollars. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a timely help.
In fact, to be honest, Pan Tsev and the others have really tried their best, and they have also tried their best to win the best interests for the Soviet Union. But a country as big as the Soviet Union will never be saved by a few dedicated officials. When they meet a group of pig teammates, can they blame them for the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the future? Can the Soviet government blame them for the depreciation of the ruble in the future? Can they blame them for the comprehensive privatization in the future?
However, from the perspective of negotiation, determining the total amount of funds is on the one hand, and determining how the funds should be used, that is on the other hand.
So after a few minutes of rest, a subordinate of Pantsev next to him first brought up the topic: "Mr. Branbull, I heard that you also have chemical plants and steel plants, and we are also willing to provide the most advanced equipment and complete sets of technologies at the best prices."
What the words mean is that some people want to return to the automobile factory model and try their best to obtain the greatest economic benefits for the Soviet Union through the introduction of joint ventures.
However, time has changed, especially the automobile factory model cannot be replicated. The Chinese market is indeed short of freight trucks, so the cheap and good Soviet trucks are very popular, but there is no shortage of other equipment at all. Low-end domestic production can be produced, and high-end European and American countries have basically been opened. The only few industries such as military industry, plastics and machine tools that the Soviet Union had advantages will either never be opened to the public, or they will be bought with scrap copper and iron next year, so Jing Jian will never agree.
However, although I don’t agree in my heart, I still have to find a suitable statement. After thinking for a few seconds, “I thought this way, and I hope I can discuss it with you. I want to divide the funds into two parts, and part of them should be purchased for your steel and other industrial products, accounting for half of them. The rest will be invested in the light industrial industry that produces private products, and we can adopt a joint venture model similar to that of automobile factories here.”
"Oh?" Jing Jian's words surprised Pan Caifu and the others. Pan Caifu hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me what you think?"
Jing Jian nodded with a smile: "Actually, the situation in our two countries is very similar. The burden on the country is too heavy, resulting in insufficient investment and too few commodities to satisfy the people's enjoyment. Or we can say that in another way, compared with the people of the West, the people in China and the Soviet Union have a relatively low living standards. Therefore, what we most urgently need should be to prescribe the right medicine, first alleviate the people's dissatisfaction, and obtain certain benefits in economic interests."
Jing Jian's words aroused Pan Caifu's interest. He asked quickly: "How should we prescribe the right medicine?"
"The first thing is to make those manufacturers that are under-production produce. China urgently needs those industrial products, and you can just meet the output and solve the urgent problem first. In fact, if the equipment and technology are exported, and if those factories are built in China, it will be a few years later and will not be of much help to the current situation."
Pan Caifu and others nodded at the same time. This statement is more practical and can achieve immediate results. Jing Jian’s bottom line still needs to be tested, so another accompanying staff interrupted: “Mr. Branbull, do you want to continue such industrial products export trade?”
"No, no." Jing Jian shook his head with a smile, "It's not that I'm not interested in those factories, but that I have limited personal abilities and can only focus on investments at this stage. By the way, I will introduce you to a Huaqiang company. I will reveal here that the company has an official background in China, but it is registered in the Cayman Islands and is basically operated in the Western business model. Many domestic manufacturers are very interested in introducing your Soviet equipment. Through the intermediary of the Huaqiang company, I believe there will be a relatively satisfactory result."
What Jing Jian said was the company that was jointly invested with Ling Feng's ministries and commissions. Although it was just established, relying on its domestic background and Jing Jian's relationship in Europe, they are already well-known in the Eastern European acquisition circle. Since Jing Jian doesn't do it, then simply transfer the relationship to Huaqiang. In fact, a person's energy is limited after all, and it is better to let more Chinese manufacturers get benefits. Moreover, having relationships and organization will definitely be better than what he had done in his previous life.
Pan Caifu and the others were satisfied with this. In essence, they were officials and were always willing to deal with the Chinese government.
"Then why did you choose to invest in light industry?" Pan Tsev continued.
"First of all, the investment is small and the results are fast." Jing Jian seemed confident. He could not rely solely on his on-site performance in such important negotiations. Therefore, before coming, Jing Jian had already prepared several plans, "A light industrial civilian commodity manufacturer like this can build a large-scale factory in just one or two million US dollars. As long as I use this fund for acquisitions, there are a large number of such state-owned enterprises in China that welcome Sino-foreign joint ventures, I can quickly have enough production capacity and a large number of civilian commodities."
