Lin Johnson returned to the hotel in the city, but he did not bother the two racers, for fear of disturbing them. { ＜[Net

Belgian driver Bo Nian Bo won the runner-up in San Marino in 1985 and probably did not lack racing experience. Veteran Alan Jones also played for Williams in 1980 and won the annual driver championship.

Nicki Lauda also won the driver's championship three times, and his friend, technical director Clay Regazoni. Both of them were excellent racers, either of which had rich racing experience, and Nicki also ran a shipping company.

The Dongxing Racing Team has brought four important racing cars, 60 people and about tons of equipment to the Jacarepagu Raceway.

The configuration of the fleet must ensure that technicians and engineers can operate at the same efficiency at the fleet headquarters, and a communication center is tailor-made for fleet management and entertaining visitors.

The entire fleet needs at least 10 trucks to escort and organize the deployment, but it is a great thing, and it requires careful consideration of how to stuff the maximum amount of equipment in the smallest space. The two supervisors Nicky and Clay did a good job in this regard.

The schedule of each stop is divided into three days, including free practice from 11 to 12 am on Friday, regardless of results. The first time-test competition from 2 to 3 pm, the results are used as the basis for the official qualifying competition on Saturday.

Saturday morning from 9 to 9:45 am and 1o:15 to 11:oo is free practice, regardless of results. Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 pm is the qualifying match, and Sunday afternoon is the main match.

Generally, the competition time of each stop is between 1 hour and 2 hours. If there are unexpected situations such as weather or major accidents, the competition will be terminated.

Lin Johnson considered that the reason why he chose the last three days of the week was probably because it was at this time that there would be more audiences.

After all, the F1 competition is an extremely expensive sport. Sponsors need to achieve publicity goals in the competition. Of course, the more audience the better. At that time, F1 enthusiasts can come to watch it live, because the test drives on Friday and Saturday, the performances and opening ceremonies before the main competition will not be visible to TV audiences.

On Friday the next day, Shi Jin came to the hotel early and reported to Lin Johnson on Brazil's automobile policy. He also needed to understand the Brazilian market better. After all, it is a local factory building. Unlike Southeast Asia, the country has a very small Chinese population, and most of them are willing to work in family businesses. If you want to build a factory, you have to understand the local customs and customs.

Brazil's imported cars are subject to high tariffs, and Lin Johnson already knows that it is basically similar to China's policies.

Therefore, there are very few cars exported here in Dongxing, most of which are exported to other South American countries such as Argentina and Venezuela. However, the Brazilian automobile market is still coveted. It has a production and sales of millions of vehicles every year, and only one or two percentage points is also a sales of hundreds of millions of yuan.

Brazil's currency denomination has changed a lot, especially under inflation in the 1980s, and its currency changes more frequently. It is one of the countries with the largest depreciation of currencies in Latin American countries.

Shi Jin said: "The Brazilian government has recently formulated a new industrial production plan to encourage domestic and foreign capital to participate in domestic industrial investment. However, there are still many restrictions in the field of automobile investment. We should find an influential family to cooperate!"

Lin Johnson asked, "How many shares do I give them?"

Shi Jindao: "Mr. Lin, for example, Volkswagen cooperates with the Montero Alanya family in Rio to participate in the Brazilian automobile industry in a joint venture, with Volkswagen accounting for 80% of the shares. It is a good idea to get local families involved. In this way, dealing with the Brazilian government will be managed by local families, which will reduce us a lot of trouble."

Lin Qiangsheng thought for a while and nodded and said, "If this is the case, then do what you said. We are definitely not as good as some internationally renowned automobile companies. We will ask some local forces for help. I mean, we will give them at most 15% of the shares, and we can't do more!"

Shi Jin nodded: "I think this ratio is more appropriate, but local forces are generally very greedy. I am afraid that 15% of the shares will not be able to beat them!" He showed a look of worry on his face. He has lived here for more than 20 years, of course he knows what kind of morality are Brazilians, and he is a typical bullying of the weak and afraid of the strong.

Lin Qiang-Chengsheng shook his head without comment and flipped through the information in his hand. These were all sorted out by Shi Jin's handwriting.

In the 1950s, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Sweden's Saab-Scania (at the time) all set up subsidiaries in Brazil, and Japan's Toyota also invested directly in Brazil in the 1980s.

Brazil's automobile policy has quite a lot of restrictions, forcing these companies to set up factories directly, and the types of automobiles they produce must be approved by the government.

Depending on different models, the starting domestic production level must reach 35% to 5o%, and the domestic production rate must reach 90% to 95% within three years. The motivation must be achieved in large quantities of domestic production, and the Brazilian industry must also try to use the Brazilian industry to provide parts. In short, there are many restrictions, which makes Lin Johnson-John look familiar.

Unlike China, Brazil came without hiring these car manufacturers, while China invited people to invest in China, and the treatment was completely different. It is true that Brazil is already at a middle-income country.

In addition, there are some preferential measures. The Brazilian government will provide preferential exchange rates for imported equipment based on the amount of capital invested.

For auxiliary materials and equipment that must be imported, customs duties and internal taxes are exempted. Foreign-invested enterprises can import old equipment that is well-operated without paying foreign exchange margin.

Unlike China, Brazil does not restrict the investment ratio of foreign-invested enterprises in order to encourage the automobile industry.

Under various policies to curb imported cars and encourage domestic production, international auto manufacturers can only build factories locally if they want to get a share of the Brazilian auto market. There is no other way.

From the mid-1950s to the early 1980s, the Brazilian automobile industry began to take shape in more than a decade. The vehicles produced can not only meet the needs of the domestic market, but also be exported in large quantities. The Brazilian policies played a great role.

Some of the Volvo and Scania models imported by China in the 1970s and 1980s were produced in Brazil, and the Santana imported from China is itself a product of Volkswagen Brazil. Many parts are exported from Brazil to China.

Lin Johnson looked at the information and said with a smile: "Brazil's automobile policy does look beautiful, but it's a big deal to make the country's automobile industry rise. Foreign brands have occupied the country's automobile market!"

Shi Jin nodded and said, "If Mr. Lin wants to produce cars in Brazil, he must start with 35~5o% of the parts locally produced, otherwise the Brazilian government will restrict us from entering production!"

Lin Johnson said: "Building a factory in Brazil is not an easy task. You must achieve such a high domestic production rate at the beginning, which is even more radical than China's policy. Moreover, the domestic production rate must reach 90~95% within three years. Brazilians really dare to think about it!"

Shi Jin hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not that difficult to operate, you know."

He whispered in Lin Johnson's ear: "Mr. Lin, the Brazilian government is very safe. If you are willing to spend some money and find the right person, it will not be so difficult for us to build a factory and put it into production!"

Lin Johnson was stunned for a moment. Shi Jin was teaching him to bribe local officials. Thinking of the Brazilian government's supreme and various social problems, he suddenly remembered a Brazilian film called "Elite Forces" I saw in his previous life, especially the second part, where the protagonist's sense of powerlessness faces the system.

He looked at Shi Jin in front of him again. Perhaps he was really suppressed. His enthusiasm for the people of the motherland made this middle-aged man spare no effort to tell him this method.

Lin Qiangsheng didn't want to think too much, so he was silent for a while before nodding and said, "That's it. Don't come forward in person. We have to find an agent, not Chinese and overseas Chinese, and find a foreigner to deal with Brazilian officials!"

Shi Jin said in surprise: "Sir, have you handed me this task?"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "If you can do it, I will give you 5% of the future factory shares. I also need a person in South America. I think you are more suitable!"

Shi Jin was both surprised and excited, and was a little nervous. He nodded heavily after turning a few times and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will take on this task. If something happens to me in the future, I will take on it myself and I will never implicate you!"

Lin Johnson burst into tears and said, "Old Shi, don't worry. There are so many foreign-funded enterprises in Brazil, I don't believe that they have not taken some improper measures. Which one have you seen exposed? Even if it has any impact on them, it has not been! "

He patted Shi Jin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to settle it even if something happens, and it will not affect you at all."

Shi Jin left in his heart. He was so excited that he could not cry. The idea he had given his boss fell on him. If he had an accident in the future, it would be a small lawsuit, which would affect the family's affairs!

But when he thought about it, Lin Johnson actually agreed to give him 5% of the car factory shares, and he suddenly became excited. Automobile is a big industry and he knew that it would make more money than his workshop.

As he thought about it, Shi Jin made up his mind that he would make a future even for his children! (To be continued.)8
