Tao Guangming was silent.
I have to say that this is very similar to China.
And he has witnessed with his own eyes the changes in China over the past decade.
Therefore, it is not impossible for this poor country to catch up in ten or twenty years.
The receptionist there took them directly into the president's office.
Li Wenjun silently retreated behind Yang Shouzhuo.
Tao Guangming now saw the clues. When dealing with the government and the military, Yang Shouzhuo plays the leading role, and when dealing with enterprises, Li Wenjun plays the leading role.
The tall and thin guy in the military uniform is the Secretary of Defense, and the short, fat guy in the suit is the President.
Tao Guangming remembered the information he had secretly learned and took a good look at the man named Ma Lei.
Marley and the defense minister were enthusiastic.
According to Tao Guangming's experience, generally enthusiastic people are short of money and have to give the other party a good impression so that they can ask for things later without paying.
Sure enough, after sitting down for a while, the Minister of Defense said: "We like your country's War Eagle 1 combat helicopter very much."
Judging from the voice, he was the one who called Yang Shouzhuo.
Yang Shouzhuo: "Well, we sold it to South Africa for US$840 a piece."
They definitely know the price, so there is no need to hide it.
The Minister of Defense said: "You should understand the situation in our country. We are in difficulty now and cannot afford so much money."
Tao Guangming sighed secretly: Na na na, this is coming.
Yang Shouzhuo said: "There is no way, the cost is there. We can use gold instead of cash."
The first rule of thumb when selling the same product to two people who know each other: the price and quality must be exactly the same. Otherwise both sides will be offended.
Minister of Defense: "Is there any other way of accommodation? We don't have as much gold reserves as South Africa."
The key is that in a place like Botswana, there are few roads. If there is an emergency, helicopters are reliable and fast enough.
They don’t want to sell to Europe and the United States.
Yang Shouzhuo raised his chin at Li Wenjun, indicating that it was his turn.
Li Wenjun said: "It's not impossible. Your country gave us free land to build a factory. In the next ten years, we will not pay taxes, which will be used to offset part of the helicopter money. And the government has promised me that in the next twenty years, we will Enterprises have industry protection and tax incentives.”
Marley, who had remained silent after greeting him, asked with great interest: "What factory do you plan to build?"
Li Wenjun said: "Daily necessities factory. Produces plastic basins and barrels, bicycles, and clothing."
Although Marley concealed it well, he was obviously a little disappointed: What are you doing...?
He said implicitly: "We still have clothing and daily necessities factories in our country."
Li Wenjun said: "We also have high-tech products, such as cars, airplanes, mobile phones, and computers. But according to the current consumption power of your country and neighboring countries, it is obviously inappropriate to build these factories. And the products of our daily necessities factories will not follow the same standards. Duplication of what your country already has.”
Mare was silent: This is Huabing. It's not the same thing as white people.
At that time, our money will be taken away, the environment will be polluted, and we will not make any progress at all.
Li Wenjun added: "There is another direction for cooperation. I wonder if Mr. President will be interested. I can help your country develop tourism."
Ma Lei was stunned and his eyes lit up again: "How to develop?"
Li Wenjun said: "We now have large cruise ships docking at the Port of Cape Town every week. They can accommodate more than 2,000 tourists when full. Because basically every flight is full, we may increase the density to every three days in the future, or even One flight a day.”
Mare nodded: "Not bad, not bad. I did hear that your company's cruises are very popular."
Li Wenjun went on to say: "If your country is willing to cooperate, we can increase the cruise route for cruise guests from Cape Town to your country."
Marais couldn't refuse, because the important reform measure he recently proposed is to promote the development of tourism and reduce dependence on diamond exports.
Li Wenjun added: "If this tourist route sells well, we can also open a tourist route from several major cities and port cities in China directly to Cape Town and then to your country."
Tao Guangming glanced at Li Wenjun: This bastard had a long talk with South Africa's Minister of Defense about cargo transit. He wasn't talking about living people, was he?
China has more than one billion people, and the temptation is too great.
Mare started biting his lip.
Tao Guangming was very familiar with this expression.
Everyone who negotiates with Li Wenjun will have this expression.
Tao Guangming had also seen this expression on the faces of bears circling the trap.
Although I knew there was danger ahead, the bait was too tempting.
Tao Guangming couldn't help but feel sympathy for Ma Lei like a rabbit dying and a fox pitiful: Give up resistance.
Since this bastard threw out this bait, he must be heading for your death spot.
How did Li Wenjun lure me into the trap step by step?
Ah, by the way, you can bring me and Ji Rushi together, and you can also do something big and feel proud at home.
How could Yang Shouzhuo be so determined?
Well, isn't it just to help Yang Shouzhuo kill that damn "Southwestern King"?
Marley was silent for three minutes and said with difficulty: "Okay. But we can only pay you five million US dollars in gold first. The remaining more than three million US dollars in gold will be deducted from taxes. And your factory In addition to necessary managers and technical personnel, only locals can be recruited as workers. We will set the minimum wage and assess benefits."
If so, he doesn't seem to be at a loss.
After all, Li Wenjun wants to pay wages to the workers.
Li Wenjun originally wanted to give them the tax deduction.
Okay, the first person has taken the bait.
Li Wenjun said: "The workers must be recruited locally. And we will also provide free training to the workers. The children of the workers can study in the schools we built for our employees."
Marley: "Hey, this is good. You are much more conscientious than those white people."
In just half an hour, another contract was signed.
Unlike the people in South Africa, Li Wenjun did not require Ma Lei to pay a deposit, but only required them to pay the full payment when the goods were delivered.
After coming out of the presidential palace, Tao Guangming asked Li Wenjun: "Aren't you afraid that they won't give you the money?"
After all, a few days ago, those black people in South Africa wanted to eat for free, but Li Wenjun actually dared to do so.
Li Wenjun smiled: "I'm afraid. His goal is to develop the tourism industry. That's the chicken that lays the golden eggs, not this helicopter. Besides, I told you to come to me for maintenance and parts replacement."
The key point is that Marre has served two terms as president and vowed to develop Botswana into the most reputable country in Africa. How could he break the contract for such a small amount of money?
Tao Guangming said: "Now I haven't received a penny, and I still have to help people build the factory. Who will build the factory then?"
Li Wenjun looked at him: "What do you think?"
Tao Guangming screamed strangely: "You don't want me to come. I won't come."
Yang Shouzhuo frowned and turned around to look: "I can't even find a decent hotel in this damn place. What should I do tonight?"
It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon.
Tao Guangming said: "How about we drive back overnight? Anyway, this is not far from the South African border."
