Chapter 772: Do You Want to Follow Tradition?
Well? Looking at the strong desire in the eyes of the two Uruguayan ministers, Lin Hongfei suddenly wondered in his heart: Is it possible that Uruguayans are rich to this extent? Even in the United States, Harley's top-of-the-line model, the Glide, which sells more expensive than an ordinary car, is not something that anyone can afford, not to mention that after you buy a car, you will have to spend at least half the money of the car itself to modify it...... Well, of course, the past few years have been the trough of Harley's motorcycles, and Harley is already so poor that he can't even eat.
But in any case, looking at the strong look of longing in the eyes of these two ministers, Lin Hongfei really couldn't find a reason to refuse, he nodded without hesitation, "Of course!" ”
The premise is that it has passed the national quality inspection first, Lin Hongfei added in his heart, looking at this car, he can't help but feel a little regretful: the domestic regulations are that the length of the motorcycle body is more than 2.5 meters, and the car cannot be sold in China. Lin Hongfei felt that he probably didn't have such a big face.
After thinking about it, Lin Hongfei asked tentatively, "Mr. Lopez, is there any plan to replace the police motorcycles of your country's state guest escort in the near future?" ”
This is...... Planning to sell this car to our presidential escort?
Like most countries in the world, when the President of Uruguay attends an official occasion or welcomes important foreign guests, there will also be police motorcycles to open the road, naturally, the procurement of police cars by various governments has become the focus of competition among major motorcycle manufacturers: of course, there are not a few police cars to open the road, but the resulting image improvement is definitely not something that can be bought with money.
Uruguay now uses the Honda PC800 for the open-road police motorcycle. Clem. Lopez has always felt that the Honda PC800 is no less than Harley's good car, but now. Compared with the two victories of the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Robert. Clem. Lopez immediately felt that the Honda PC800 was as ugly as a local chicken that could only be shaved in the soil.
But when I think about it, the car was only purchased from Honda last year. Clem. Lopez hesitated: Will replacing the equipment after only one year of procurement provoke criticism from the media?
Robert. Clem. Although Lopez didn't say anything, the look of joy and anticipation in his eyes and hesitation couldn't deceive people, Lin Hongfei said, "Mr. Minister, maybe you misunderstood what I meant, for the friendship between China and Ukraine, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries." We Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are very willing to do something for the friendship between the two countries, how about you donate 12 police motorcycles to your government? ”
Donation? Robert. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez blinked: What does it mean to donate, isn't that just a free gift?
"That's right, it's a donation!" Lin Hongfei nodded affirmatively, as soon as these words came out. He clearly heard the clear and audible breathing of relief from the people whose eyelids were convulsing like a convulsion.
"This ......" Lin Hongfei said to this point, Robert. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez hesitated. Lin Hongfei donated to Uruguay if it was something else. He can call the shots, but what he donated is this kind of national image project, which is not something that he can do as a small minister of industry, and it is beyond his rights. But if it's as simple as giving up...... Glancing at the motorcycle in front of him with extreme reluctance, Robert. Clem. Lopez gritted his teeth, "Mr. Lin." This matter is beyond my purview, and I am not in a position to answer you now, but I promise that I will report it to Mr. President as soon as possible. ”
That's right! Lin Hongfei smiled. He glanced at the entourage of the central ministries and commissions who were constantly exchanging glances: Poor guys, are they all frightened?

In the next few days, the Uruguayan delegation visited the construction machinery factory, the workers' residential area and the thermal power plant project under construction under the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and even the steel plant controlled by the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. or the technical technology holding company did not let go. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez crouched in his room, his face flushed with excitement, convinced that he had really found a suitable partner for Uruguay.
"Lopez, this is the way I've found in recent years to work with foreign companies, and I think we can do the same." Carlos. Gutierrez handed the analysis he had done in the past few days to Robert. Clem. Lopez, overly excited and excited, made his hands tremble, "If we use this kind of cooperation, we only need to spend a small amount of money to build an advanced industrial system for our country." ”
In addition to the first day of the two visited the various industries of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., from the second day, Robert . Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez made a different division of labor. Clem. Lopez, accompanied by Lin Hongfei, continued his visit to various companies under the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Gutierrez analyzed and collated the various information collected on foreign investment in China. Clem. Lopez's non-stop visit these days is also for Carlos. Gutierrez buys time.
The Uruguayan side is responsible for the work of land and infrastructure, while the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. provides the technology and the corresponding production equipment, although the expenditure of so many infrastructure projects is also a huge burden for the Uruguayan government, but compared with the previous plan, the feasibility of this plan has undoubtedly increased a lot.
Robert. Clem. Lopez looked at it very carefully, word by word, and refused to miss even a punctuation mark, although he still had some doubts about whether Lin Hongfei would agree to such conditions in Chinese or to be precise, but the negotiation itself is not a constant compromise in the continuous confrontation, and nodded with satisfaction, "There is a word in the Chinese that I like very much, that is, 'win-win', Gutierrez, if we can promote cooperation between the two sides this time......"
After facilitating the cooperation between the two sides, how about it, although Robert. Clem. Lopez didn't say that Carlos. Gutierrez is not a fool, and he suddenly realized: if he can really facilitate this cooperation, then as long as the two of them do not make major mistakes, they must be one of the main members of the cabinet of the next government, rather than a dispensable role in the current cabinet.
"Now, then, contact Mr. President," said Carlos. Gutierrez thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if China can agree to this cooperation plan, and ask them to quickly determine our upper and lower limits." ”

Robert. Clem. Lopez and Carlos. Gutierrez didn't know what to do, just when they began to think about how to persuade Lin Hongfei to invest in Uruguay, someone was working hard to do ideological work for Lin Hongfei, in view of Lin Hongfei's identity and background, this time, even a deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personally dispatched.
"Xiaolin, we are very much in favor of and very supportive of your company's ability to actively go out, but I read the cooperation plan you handed over, is it a little inappropriate?" Vice Minister Bao Junyu persuaded bitterly, "We are supporting Uruguay's industrial construction, not exploiting the Uruguayan people...... Simply ......"
He wanted to say that it was fundamentally contrary to our purpose of being good neighbors, but when this came to his lips, he finally swallowed it back and changed it to: "It is simply inconsistent with our country's consistent diplomatic tradition." ”
"Minister Bao, thank you for giving us so many opinions for the sake of our company." No matter how much trouble the idea of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has brought to him, and how tired he is of saying these words in his heart, he still has to make a necessary gesture, and the fact that a deputy minister is doing ideological work for a small deputy director is already appalling enough, and if Lin Hongfei's attitude is not correct enough, this problem will be very serious. "But I think our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is taking our company's foreign investment activities too seriously...... Well, complicated? ”
It's not just complicated, in Lin Hongfei's view, although it can't be said to be related to the loss of power and humiliation of the country, it basically follows the set of foreign exchanges since the founding of the People's Republic of China: I dare not say that it is given for free, but in fact, it is not much better than giving it away for nothing.
"Huh?" Bao Junyu didn't expect that his deputy minister would come to do the work for him personally, and this guy would dare not to give himself face? Bao Junyu couldn't help but be a little unhappy in his heart, "Comrade Xiaolin, what do you mean by this, do you think that our country's foreign economic policy is incorrect?" ”
"Minister Bao, where did you start with this?" Lin Hongfei's eyes widened, his face was dazed, and he was wronged after being framed, "I just think that the guests from Uruguay need our skills, and our company also needs to open up the South American market. If it is carried out in accordance with this cooperation plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs......"
Lin Hongfei shook his head: When did the businessmen become Lei Feng?
Bao Junyu's old face suddenly turned red. (To be continued.) )
