Chapter 536 Auto Factory
In the end, under that earnest gaze, Jing Jian was completely defeated by this group of international friendship soldiers. He whispered a few instructions to Liu Kai, making him pay attention to making a bridge for Han Sulan. Jing Jian then walked out of the gym with Nona.
As soon as he got on the bus, Jing Jian asked with a smile: "Long time no see, shouldn't you be a business representative in Hamburg?"
Nona glanced at her charmingly and said with a smile: "Didn't you also return to China from the United States?"
"Haha, I apologize, I shouldn't be quarrel with beautiful girls."
"Your apology is insincere. Before coming to China, I heard that your food is very famous."
"I understand. Well...you see, I'm actually very smart."
Amid the laughter, the car went directly to a time-honored street on Longjin East Road. I found a private room and ordered a few signature dishes. Jing Jianwei Nona poured tea: "Do you want to order wine or drinks? Are you used to drinking?"
"No." Nona picked up the teacup and tasted it. "This taste... is a bit different from black tea. But it's quite delicious."
Jing Jian filled himself with all his mouth, took a sip, and looked at Nona with a smile: "What's the matter? Can you tell me now?"
After a little consideration, Nona smiled: "My country wants to strengthen commercial cooperation with you on the basis of mutual benefit. In addition to bookkeeping bartering, we also hope that you will pay a certain amount of foreign exchange and hard currency foreign exchange!"
"Oh? How many do you need?" Jing Jian said curiously.
"One hundred million US dollars." Nona stared at Jing Jian and spoke very seriously.
"Hahaha." Jing Jian shook his head with a smile, "Miss Nona, I'm very curious, how could you find me personally?"
"We believe in your friendship. In fact, you have already made us very grateful for your donations and trade in European White Lotus." Although he was calm on the surface, Nona's heart was actually in a mess.
After Hamburg met with Jing Jian at that time, Nona once made suggestions to her superiors, and was arrogantly rejected. Unexpectedly, this time, she was in a hurry to send herself to China. Without many brain cells, Nona could analyze that the economic problems in the Soviet Union must be quite serious, and even such a relationship of treating a dead horse as a living horse was used.
Of course, Jing Jian would not care about these compliments. He asked bluntly: "Miss Nona, I am not a diplomatic official, nor do I say any diplomatic rhetoric. From the perspective of an ordinary businessman, there are some problems. First of all, I don't have that much US dollar cash at all..."
Nona quickly interrupted, "Will this 10 billion order be yours?" For the Soviet Union, a major intelligence power, it is not difficult to find such news.
Jing Jian smiled slightly: "First of all, it is a kind of publicity. The real money is not that much. And many of them are financing loans. The most important thing is that they have been exchanged for RMB now. Miss Nona, I will not hide it from you. If you want Chinese goods, I can agree immediately, but the delivery time is longer. But if you want US dollar cash? I can't do it within a year."
"Are you talking about a year later?" Nona immediately grabbed Jing Jian's words. None said that since she has arrived in China, she always hopes to gain something, even if the spot is not good, futures can still be accepted.
Jing Jian laughed: "This is the next question. If you transfer the money directly to your Soviet government, what is the reason? Maybe you will say that you can prevent investigation through various financial means, but I don't even want to have a slight risk. No, I can't bear to see the beautiful lady sad. So I will give you a chance and have a strong reason! Very powerful and powerful kind!"
Nona was a little discouraged: "You should know that there is already a bookkeeping barter trade between our governments. If you have one more, you can't change much. Of course, it's good to have one. However, what we need most this time is the US dollar! Hard foreign exchange! Can you think about it again? When I return to China to report, I will try my best to get preferential conditions."
"That's how..." Jing Jian began to think about it while eating the dishes. Although he already had many underground channels and exported a lot to Eastern Europe, if he could go through the official channels of the Soviet Union, it seemed that he could expand and occupy the market faster.
"I want a car factory that mainly produces medium-sized and heavy-duty trucks. I first import the entire Soviet vehicle, then assemble the spare parts, and finally produce it myself. Can you do the complete set of technology transfer and assembly lines?" Jing Jian asked with a sudden inspiration and smiled.
As a driver in his previous life, Jing Jian knew very well that China's automobile market at this time was lighter and less heavy, and domestic cars could be said to be blank everywhere. Not long after, a group of domestic cars represented by Santana were finally put on the market. However, even so, smuggling cars still covered the coastal beaches. What we are talking about here is that sedans are actually short of medium-sized and heavy trucks. In the 1980s and 1990s in his previous life, in order to fill this gap, there were as many as 300,000 trucks imported from the former Soviet Union.
Since that's the case, why not just set up a car factory? Start with trucks, gradually develop cars, learn from Soviet standards, and gradually digest learning into Western standards? If you have the opportunity in the future, can you still use electric cars? Drive cars in artificial intelligence? There is a lot of potential.
Even if you don’t consider the next few decades, it will be profitable. To be honest, the Soviet trucks are indeed cheap now, and the price is basically about half of domestic trucks. The only disadvantage is that they are too high and their economy is poor. However, the car team built in Jing’s previous life had many methods to modify these Soviet trucks, which basically solved the fuel consumption problem. If there is really a car factory, can’t it be improved with technical research? Even with heating, cooling, air conditioning, etc., it will increase driving comfort, and the price will definitely be much lower than that of existing domestic trucks.
Also, with the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union, these countries will enter a long period of chaos. By that time, new and old trucks can be obtained at the price of scrap iron and sold through assembly plants, which is actually similar to the uninvestable business.
"I have no right to agree now. Can I go back and ask?" Nona asked.
Jing Jian nodded with a smile: "Don't worry too much. I like to do business that both parties are satisfied with. I think the content of this transaction is too much and complicated. We can negotiate and execute it in stages. Not only the automobile factory, but also barter trade and other content, so there is no need to hurry up."
"I think so too. Bramble." Nona nodded and smiled, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
