On July 1, China issued the "Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures Law", and since then, Sino-foreign Joint Ventures have formal legal basis.

At this time, Johnson Lin was sitting in Lyon's car, with Barr, a negotiating expert in the back seat. They were heading to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. At the invitation of the French side, the H-province Bincheng joint venture project negotiation team came to France to discuss legal issues with foreign parties about the joint venture. If the two sides can reach an agreement, the automobile factory joint venture project can be officially signed.

Regarding the sole proprietorship of building a car parts manufacturing base, the province is still unable to make up its mind. The leaders want to occupy at least 50% of the shares, and plan to share the same shares as the cooperation model of the automobile factory. If China can control the shares, it would be better.

However, this is Lin Qiang-Chengsheng's own business. Of course, he does not want outsiders to intervene. If he can't reach an agreement, he will not reach an agreement. In mid-July, the states of GD and FJ provinces gave policies. After the establishment of the special economic zone, the leaders of H provinces were anxious.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, a group of people from H Province walked out of the airport passage.

Lin Qiangsheng could see Li Gang wearing a gray rustic suit at first glance. This old-fashioned suit is so easy to distinguish, just like a star in the dark night.

Lin Qiangsheng held a Chinese sign and was easy to distinguish. When Li Gang and others saw Lin Qiangsheng appear, they all looked at Lin Xiangrong in surprise.

"Welcome! Warm welcome!" Lin Qiangsheng shouted, causing Li Gang and his group to laugh.

Li Gang is in his sixties and smiles very kindly. He looked at Lin Johnson, then smiled at Lin Xiangrong and said, "Your little devil is everywhere!"

Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere when they first arrived in a foreign country was dissolved by a few jokes.

The negotiation team was a group of four, Li Gang, Lin Xiangrong, and Dai Feng, director of the Provincial Foreign Trade Bureau, brought a accompanying translator. The negotiation team also squeezed in some other personnel who were not related to the negotiation. In addition, the accompanying family members gathered nearly twenty people.

With the help of Johnson Lin, the translation brought by the negotiation team seemed a bit redundant, but the translator was good at French and did not make Johnson Lin much lonely. After a while, he started chatting with Lyon.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xiangrong took a break and asked his son.

Lin Johnson smiled. Why didn’t he come if he asked Barr to send an invitation? He smiled and said, “I’m afraid you lacked a translation, so I came here deliberately!”

Lin Xiangrong glared at his son and asked, "I ran around at such a young age. Don't you say you are going to GD to find your brother? Why did you come abroad? Just call your family and tell you that you are going abroad. It's your mother's anxious!"

Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly begged and said, "I am also doing serious business! I also want to fill a brick and tile for national modernization!"

Lin Xiangrong glared at his son and said, "You just appeared! How can I explain to my colleagues!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "No need to explain, explanation is to cover up, we don't cover up, and there is no need to explain!"

In order to change the topic of my father, Lin Johnson asked his father: "Is there any news from my brother?"

Lin Xiangrong sighed and said, "There is news! Your brother is fine and has left the battlefield intact. He has to take care of the wounded in the army and will probably go home to see him at the end of the year."

Lin Johnson nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine if the eldest brother was fine.

The negotiating team and their group still moved into a hotel near the Chinese Embassy. After entering the room, Lin Qiangsheng asked his father: "How to plan for this negotiating team?"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "This time we came to finalize cooperation with the foreign side, and the domestic joint venture law has also been put under. If the foreign side has no doubts about our law, we can sign the contract! Both the central and provincial governments have reached an agreement on this matter, and that is, we must quickly finalize cooperation with the French side!"

"This time foreign businessmen are so happy, and domestic actions are getting started soon!" Lin Johnson said with a smile.

Lin Xiangrong smiled and said, "Yes! I heard that the SH side and the German side are still stalemate about the issue of automobile production and export foreign exchange earnings ratio. The Germans just disagree that 80% of the output is used for export. At the same time, I heard that the German side does not want to spend so much money. It seems that the French are much more generous than the Germans!"

Lin Johnson smiled and said to himself: "Give up control and sales rights of 80% of the output. I want to build a small output factory. The Germans are not stupid, but how could they think that China is developing so fast that it will require large-scale imported cars in just a few years!"

This negotiation was completely led by Lin Johnson behind the scenes. Since everything is fine in China, it depends entirely on the foreign side's intentions, Lin Johnson of course agreed. With domestic laws, as a foreign investor, it can be said that he has taken advantage of the boss!

The lawyer invited by Lin Johnson carefully reviewed the legal documents brought by China, and the two sides exchanged opinions. Of course, there was no problem with Lyon and Barr. Lin Johnson is the boss behind the scenes, and he made the decision. He just said it was OK.

Barr said to the Chinese negotiating team: "Since the Chinese brand was finalized from the beginning, then the Chinese company cannot use Peugeot's brand resources in its future business activities, otherwise China will breach the contract! It is still illegal at the same time! I think China can guarantee this, right?"

After hearing the translation, Li Gang, Lin Xiangrong, and Dai Feng looked at each other and nodded. Li Gang said: "Of course! We will not use all the resources of Peugeot, and there will definitely be no problems in this regard! The Chinese still keep their promises!"

The old man said something loudly, and everyone nodded at the same time.

"A company under Peugeot will sign a contract with China to jointly establish an automobile company with China. I think you should also understand that your brand is a brand new brand or an Oriental brand. Peugeot cannot directly cooperate with such a brand to avoid any negative impact on Peugeot!" Barr finished speaking with Lin Johnson's explanation without blinking.

Li Gang and others said a few words to each other, which was originally something that the French side had notified long ago. What China cares about is specific technology and funds, and brand building is not put on the agenda at all. There is not enough understanding of what brand resources are in China.

As a cadre directly appointed by the national superior, Li Gang is also the deputy factory director of FAW. His level is at the vice-provincial level or even higher. He is still a file relationship between a central enterprise. He has fully gained the trust of his superiors. This old comrade can knock on the board for cooperation projects.

He nodded to Barr and said, "We agree with the French side!"

When Lin Johnson heard that the Chinese side represented by Li Gang agreed, he smiled, both the French and the Chinese side showed a relaxed smile.

The contract was signed in France and then returned to China to sign the contract. The Chinese negotiating team sent the news of the signing back to China at 3 pm that day. It was past eight o'clock in the morning in China. There was also joy behind hearing the good news ahead.

After signing the agreement, the French side handles matters to go to China. It is very troublesome for the foreign side to go to China, and it takes two weeks.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Johnson took Barr and invited the Chinese side to visit the French Faurecia Company. This company provides BMW with exhaust systems and seat systems, instrument panels, center consoles, cabs, door panels and other interior systems, and provides Audi and Mercedes-Benz with exterior systems, bumpers, radiators and other spare parts.

Lin Johnson bought its existing technology for $24 million in the company. Although Lin Johnson heard that Fauri was studying electric seats and emission systems with higher indicators, he felt that China now only needed good technology and oil products could not meet the requirements.

In fact, the $2,400 also includes three-way catalytic technology, engineering plastic manufacturing for automotive interiors and other technologies and equipment. Lin Johnson thinks it is still worth it.

Among them, plastic production equipment is densely mixed and injection molding machines are huge. Although domestic products are cheaper, Lin Johnson-John is interested in the large production volume and environmentally friendly performance of French products.

Faurecia is also happy to see the deal. Currently, major famous automobile companies are launching new products including electronic technology, which can find buyers for old technologies. They are also very willing.

After visiting Li Gang and Dai Feng and others, they immediately gained a new understanding of the French technology. At least mechanical equipment looks higher than domestic machines, and their machines are designed with exquisite designs, unlike domestic technology inherited from the Soviet Union.

"The French are advanced in technology. I think the province should not adhere to the requirements of 50% of the shares. Appropriately relax some conditions and bring in the French first!" Dai Feng said leisurely after leaving the Faurecia Company.

As the director of the Foreign Economic and Trade Bureau, he has a transcendent position in the province. Nowadays, when the country is seriously lacking foreign investment and high-tech, the status of foreign economic and trade is particularly important.

"The French demand is to be sole proprietorship! I heard that the southern part of the country is about to establish a special economic zone, and the French side doesn't mind going to the south to take a look. I hope that the leaders in the province will seize the time and not miss the opportunity!" Lin Johnson said to everyone in time.

Lin Xiangrong said to his son: "It's not that easy!"

Lin Johnson shrugged his shoulders and said to Li Gang and Dai Feng: "I originally wanted to introduce you to Coma in Italy and take a look at their company's welding system. Coma has agreed to provide our partner, that is, to DB, a set of automatic automobile welding production lines. But you will be back in a week and you will not be able to get a visa for a short period of time. It's such a pity!"

"Hey? Why didn't you, a kid, say it earlier!" Lin Xiangrong reached out to grab his son and asked to understand.

Li Gang quickly asked Lin Johnson: "Automatic welding? Is it an automatic welding robot under computer control?"

Lin Johnson smiled and nodded, saying to Li Gang: "Yes!"

Li Gang asked in shock: "The Italians are willing to sell this kind of thing! Do they know that the DB company wants to cooperate with us? Are Italians not afraid of Batumi's punishment?"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "The Italians are in a hurry to seek medical treatment. They just experienced a huge workers' strike not long ago. 14 million workers across the country took to the streets to participate in the general strike. Italians are also forced to force themselves. Who knows what will happen in the future? Just hurry up and get one order first!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. 14 million workers took to the streets to strike. What was that scene? I didn’t expect that the Italian trade union was so powerful!

In fact, this time, Johnson Lin really caught up with a good time. This strike in Italy made many factory owners feel that Italy's future is uncertain, which actually made them think of transferring assets abroad!

At present, Johnson Lin has commissioned several Italian negotiation companies to negotiate with these people in northern Italian cities. He plans to make a big purchase in Italy, whether it is technology or equipment, Johnson Lin is interested in it!

Batumi also has no good way to deal with Italians who are forced to force themselves! Another thing is that these negotiating companies can use secret agreements when signing contracts with these factory owners. In this way, the contract will not be handed over to Batumi for review, and the destination of equipment transportation is Singapore. (To be continued...)
