After a while, the plane slowly took off and flew towards China.
In the cabin, Kikwete looked at the excited Sankara not far away, his eyes flashing slightly. Now Tanzania's official troops basically control the entire territory, and the remaining forces of the two rebel generals have become two. The flowing armed forces began to move north and west respectively.
Although the overall situation in Tanzania seems to be stable and improving, in fact it is still full of hidden reefs and the danger has not faded away. The most critical issue is of course the two rebel forces that were beaten away. They are the spokespersons of the United States and the Soviet Union. Originally, the two giants hoped that they could control Tanzania through war, but if their conspiracy was foiled, they must always worry about when they would come back again.
In addition to the threat of war, the remaining problems are economic.
After more than half a year of war, Tanzania's originally fragile economy was almost destroyed again, so the purpose of Kikwete's trip to China this time was to promote the small industry package plan that Wang Ye had mentioned before.
In the past, Tanzania's economic development basically relied on buying and selling. For example, agriculture required buying seeds and fertilizers. But this time, Tanzania decided to change its thinking. Anyway, it was all about buying and selling. So why not try to start from production as Wang Ye said? How to solve the problem at different levels? There may be different results.
All in all, although Tanzania has eliminated the domestic cancer, the road ahead is full of ups and downs. In line with the idea of uniting all the forces that can be united, Kikwete finally brought Sankara with him. On the one hand, China may be happy, In this way, the negotiations can be smoother. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a bet. If he can have any power in the future, the two African countries can also help each other.
December 9th, nine o'clock in the morning.
After Wang Ye visited the Toshiba office the day before yesterday, he met the familiar Fujii, which made Wang Ye feel happy. After all, dealing with acquaintances is so gratifying!
And waiting until tomorrow is Wang Ye's three-day appointment. No matter what their answer is, Wang Ye will go back to the consortium, because the convening of the province's industrial chain conference must be put on the agenda.
As for the final result, it is actually very simple.
If it succeeds, then everyone will be happy and everyone will earn their own money. If it doesn't succeed, then I'll be sorry. Since you are so stubborn, you must increase your strength. As for how to increase your strength, Wang Ye's plan is also very simple. , that is, getting to know the Americans through Sattler's channels. This news is still very valuable, not to mention that it comes from a rare arms dealer like Wang Ye, and the meaning it represents is very complicated.
Even as long as it is operated properly, Wang Ye feels that it is possible to get a batch of two-axis and three-axis machine tools from the United States that are almost free of charge. Although more advanced four-axis and five-axis machines may be hopeless, for today's consortium, He said that it would be good to have a batch of used ones. The equipment in the past was too old and the key accuracy was also a problem. It would be no problem to replace a batch of mid- to low-end ones first, and when enough talents have been accumulated, it would be no problem to replace them with high-end ones.
As for how to develop high-end products in the future, we can find ways to use transactions with the United States to develop relations with the United States internationally, and then use this to find ways to develop it from Europe. After all, the United States is doing business with the Red Star Consortium. Well, we in Europe can’t do too much, right? You've sold all three axes, but it's not too much for us to sell four axes, right? You guys have such a good relationship. Anyway, the four axes have been sold, so maybe the five axes. After all, it looks like you all have to act together and walk the same path. These are allies!
A friend of a friend is a friend. With the help of the deal with the United States and the existence of Saudi Arabia, it is not difficult for Wang Ye to create a pro-American image. Coupled with his identity as an arms dealer, coupled with the current overall honeymoon period, the meaning is not obvious to the naked eye. Visible? For European countries, they give so much, what’s wrong with doing business?
In this way, Wang Ye could not only use his hands on various parts of the body of this noble lady in Europe to pick up the last piece of wool from them, but also make it easier for the whole group to pick out the wool from the United States. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
Moreover, Wang Ye was not worried about offending the Soviet Union at all.
In today's Soviet Union, in a sense, as long as you have money and green coins, you can be a friend. Wang Ye only needs to find a way to build a dialogue channel, and then wave a lot of green coins in his hand, from other Eastern European countries and even the main body, It is not impossible to purchase machine tools, as long as they are operated properly.
In short, this is the art of having both sides, and it is also the greatest opportunity left by the times.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk! Factory Director Wang!"
In the morning, as soon as Wang Ye got up and finished washing, he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw a strange staff member. He smiled and said:
"Director Wang, one of your friends will arrive in Yanjing at three o'clock this afternoon."
"I wonder if you would like to go to the airport to greet me?"
“Kikwete of Tanzania is coming!”
Hearing what the staff member said, Wang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded quickly and said:
"of course!"
Then the staff member nodded and said:
"After lunch, we will send a car to pick you up, please be ready."
"I'll take my leave now and won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, the staff member actually left directly, which made Wang Ye a little disappointed. It was obvious that he belonged to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wang Ye was also planning to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for lunch, but he didn't invite him at all!
After lunch, Wang Ye got in the car and arrived at Yanjing International Airport at 2:30 p.m.
Because Kikweit's current identity is no longer the student who studied in China, and his visit this time is considered a semi-official visit, so in addition to Wang Ye, there are many people waiting to greet him, headed by A leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This leader seemed to be very suitable for the job of welcoming people and sending them off. He was very friendly and friendly. At this moment, he said to Wang Ye with a smile:
"Director Wang, I am the one who rules the greeting this time, and you are the boss!"
"So we both perform our own duties!"
The meaning of this leader is very obvious. He has to come. This is the rule of communication between countries, but the rule is to keep the conversation simple, and Wang Ye is the highlight.
"Okay, please."
Wang Ye said with a smile and acted very politely.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a plane appeared in the sky, then taxied to land and stopped in one go. After the ramp car got on, the cabin door slowly opened!
"Wang Ye! My friend! I'm so happy to see you!"
"Hahaha, you look a lot fatter! Hahaha!"
As soon as the cabin door opened, Kikwete took a look and saw that there were no cameras filming, so he immediately became bold and bold, expressing his feelings directly without any falsehood. Then he quickly came down from the gangway and gave Wang Ye a heavy hug, as if It was like meeting old friends who have known each other for thirty years.
After all, although the two actually only met once, in the past half a year, the situation has gone up and down. Kikwete recalled Wang Ye countless times, and even dreamed that Wang Ye was calmly arranging weapons for himself. delivery, so at this moment, there is no trace of unfamiliarity!
"Hahaha, you look like you have lost a lot of weight! My friend."
"It seems that the disturbance of state affairs makes people exhausted mentally and physically!"
After a brief hug with Kikwete, Wang Ye looked Kikwete up and down and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Kikwete's eyes were red, and he seemed to be quite emotional.
In fact, this is also true for Kikwit.
The last time he left China, he took an ordinary civil airliner and returned to Tanzania after several transfers. At that time, he was also worried about the future.
But this time, when I came to China again, both the environment and the state of mind had undergone earth-shaking changes. I took a special plane and flew directly here. The anxiety that I once had no longer existed, and only the hope for a better future remained. expectations, the courage to face more brutal battles, and the fighting spirit to lead Tanzania to a better place. To a certain extent, the whole person is high-spirited!
"Thank you my friend."
"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have gotten this far."
Finally, Jikwei took Wang Ye's hand, with a face filled with emotion, and finally said in a low voice, while Wang Ye waved his hand with a smile and said:
"No, you can, I'm just an external factor."
"The foundation of success depends on the strength of your own heart, my friend."
Wang Ye's words made Kikwete very happy. He couldn't help laughing boldly. At the same time, Wang Ye pointed to the leader next to him and said:
"My friend, let me introduce you."
"Who is this"
"In the next few days, during your stay in China, I will be responsible for docking diplomatic work with you."
Wang Ye briefly introduced the leader, the two parties shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, and then Kikwete suddenly said:
"By the way, my friend, Mr. Jiang."
"I'll also introduce you to a new friend."
As Kikwete spoke, he turned his gaze in another direction, where there were all the accompanying staff. Wang Ye also looked over and his eyes froze for a moment.
I saw a young dark-skinned man looking around with admiration and curiosity, and a name instantly popped into Wang Ye's mind: Thomas Sankara!
This man comes from a little-known small country in West Africa. Today, this country is called Upper Volta, where "up" means upstream, and Volta is a river. It can be seen from the name of this country that this country has no cultural foundation. , not strong enough, not even a group of people with dreams, at least not in the past, because they once belonged to a French colony.
Under such circumstances, there is only one reason why a person from such a small country can be remembered by Wang Ye. This man with bright eyes not far away can be called a "comrade". He is a man with dreams. In a normal history, he would have ousted the stale officialdom next year and then taken power, carrying out a series of reforms at the same time.
It's a pity that although he had dreams, he was too idealistic and lacked sufficient struggle experience and means. Finally, four years later, he was betrayed and shot to death, which was sad and sad.
At this moment.
The look in Wang Ye's eyes flashed and returned to normal. At the same time, Kikwete said with a smile:
"Actually, this is not in line with the rules. Please forgive me, Mr. Jiang."
Mr. Jiang in Kikwete’s mouth was the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then Kikwete looked at Sankara walking over, then introduced with a smile:
"Mr. Thomas Sankara, from Upper Volta."
"He asked me to bring him here because his dream is to come here for further study. He learned that I once studied at Changshan Advanced Army Academy, so he hoped that I could help him realize his dream."
As soon as these words came out, the leader next to him brightened up, nodded and said:｝
"I see, welcome Mr. Sankara."
"We will try our best to help you coordinate!"
After all, nowadays, recruiting foreign students is also a trend, and it is also for certain development, so the leader said it very easily and without any entanglement.
"Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
At that moment, Sankara looked very excited, nodded vigorously and said this, while Kikwete continued to introduce with a smile:
"This is my friend Wang Ye whom I introduced to you."
"He is a truly wise man. If you have any questions, you can ask him. Of course, he may not answer you, but if he answers you, then the answer must be correct!"
"Believe him, he won't be wrong!"
Kikwete's evaluation of Wang Ye was so high that the leaders next to him were dumbfounded. Sankara also looked stunned for a moment, but nodded quickly and shook hands with Wang Ye enthusiastically.
After a few simple greetings, Wang Ye said with a smile:
"Mr. Sankara, do you know why Kikwit took the risk of breaking the rules and brought you to China to help you realize this wish?"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Sankara was stunned. He was not surprised by Wang Ye's directness. After all, for them, being tactful was rare. But for a while, he didn't know how to answer Wang Ye's question. question.
"I guess it's because Kikwete memorized a very important saying while studying here."
"Only through unity can we win the final victory!"
"Next, if you can enter that school, you must study hard, because there will bring you inexhaustible wealth in your life."
The last few words of Wang Ye were a bit presumptuous, but Sankara was not angry at all. He just felt that Wang Ye was a straightforward person. Kikwete frowned slightly, although Wang Ye said what he said in one sentence. But she felt that Wang Ye's words were not that simple. He seemed to be giving advice to Sankara?
Could it be said that he even understood the situation with Walter?
While Kikwete was thinking, everyone left the airport. After arriving at their destination, Wang Ye briefly exchanged greetings and left temporarily, because the next step was the official time.
Only after the specific cooperation is discussed and the official negotiations are completed, Kikwete will be free to have in-depth exchanges with Wang Ye.
The next day, December 10th, the weather was fine.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Ye came to the foreign-related hotel again with four tall, round-waisted young men, and then knocked on the door of Fujii's suite.
When the door opened, Fujii looked particularly tired, as if he hadn't slept in several days.
"Mr. Fujii, middle-aged people should maintain their health and don't imitate us young people."
"Otherwise, your body will be overwhelmed!"
After sitting down, Wang Ye joked with a smile, Fujii smiled helplessly, and then said:
"Mr. Wang Ye, we agreed to the cooperation you mentioned before!"
"This is our quotation. The total price is US$122 million. After we sign the contract, you need to pay a 30% deposit, and we will organize production and delivery."
"Due to those reasons, the entire delivery cycle may take as long as a year, but before the Chinese Spring Festival, we can make the first batch of deliveries, totaling more than 200 machine tools of various types."
"Do you think it's okay? If there's no problem, then we'll sign a contract. There will be two contracts in total, one explicit and one implicit!"
"In Ming's contract, there are no four-axis or five-axis machine tools."
Wang Ye nodded, then read the quotation, and finally said:
"No problem, just sign the contract!"
After Wang Ye carefully checked both the light and dark contracts, the two parties signed the contract. If it were a normal business, the contract might be tampered with, but this kind of shady yin-yang contract business would rarely happen. In this case, Wang Ye has important resources in his hands and can threaten him at any time.
After the contract was signed, Fujii was silent for two seconds before continuing:
"In addition, the company also agreed to the oil equipment transaction you mentioned. I reported it directly to the old president. The old president personally approved the transaction. The total price is US$170 million."
"Civil engineering and all supporting projects will be directed by our staff, and you will mobilize relevant construction units to complete them."
Hearing this, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh. This price was almost twice as low as the previous price they quoted to the Ministry of Petroleum. After all, the previous total price exceeded 300 million. They even demanded that their construction team must Only by coming here for construction can we ensure quality. The Huaxia construction team can't even build a house and it doesn't meet their standards. And now that there is less money, naturally this high-end service cannot be enjoyed. They only send out commanders.
"OK, no problem."
Wang Ye smiled and nodded, and then Fujii seemed to cheer up, looked at Wang Ye with bright eyes, and then said:
"In that case, Mr. Wang Ye, we have paid the price."
"Then you should be able to answer that question, right?"
