The people responsible for negotiating with these countries are actually representatives of the countries. The experts and companies can only say who is sitting on the sidelines of the negotiations. What the master company wants to get is the transportation cost of 50,000 yuan per kilogram, and nothing else.
But countries are different. Taking advantage of this opportunity, of course we must bite off a piece of flesh from these countries. In the confrontation between countries, every detail must be determined.
The person responsible for the negotiations was a team of professional representatives from the country. Zhang Jingyuan was not interested in getting to know too much. He was just talking to the diplomat in charge, Zhao Xing. As part of such negotiations, there are also some ministers from the industrial sector and the like. But for those with too high positions, there will be no such thing. After all, it is a negotiation between a master company, not a formal national negotiation.
Zhang Jingyuan was sitting at the top, surrounded by relevant personnel from Gaoshou Company, among whom Yang Peng was in charge of negotiations this time. But the price won't change, I'm just going to see if I can get anything else. The so-called acquisition is to use this opportunity to let these countries relax some of their own policies, such as restrictions on precision machinery against China, so as to purchase some equipment at low prices that were not available before.
Of course, today is actually just a meeting. After that, everyone will conduct contact negotiations for more than ten days. They are separate, rather than actually negotiating collectively with these countries. Otherwise, if we join forces, the master companies and the country will not be able to do it together. No match for these people.
The scene was very noisy, with thousands of people gathered together. Some people stayed out all night last night - in fact, it was impossible to come back. Everyone had something to talk about when they were together.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Paul. I remember there were 12 people in Algeria yesterday. Why were there only 11?"
"Haha, you must have read it wrong. But I remember that there were exactly ten people in Spain yesterday, and they were wearing uniforms. Why are there only nine people today? Could it be that they went to bullfighting!"
"Yes, I see that you are missing someone here. The sports fan has already gone to look for it..."
The two of them greeted each other with smiles, but secretly cursed silently. Nowadays, as Spain, an old powerhouse, gradually declines due to consortium disputes, Algeria, a crude oil exporting country, is developing rapidly. It is now also a powerful country in Africa and a second-tier power in the world. Spain has now fallen from the first tier. In particular, the maritime disputes between the two countries are not much worse than China's South China Sea, and the two sides are also in the same boat.
Nowadays, competition for sea areas in the Mediterranean, especially in the western half of the Mediterranean, is extremely fierce. Italy, France, Spain, and Algeria are all dividing their territories. The Strait of Gibraltar in the distance is still in the hands of the British. How can it be a mess?
In fact, with the lack of social resources, the competition between various countries has become more and more naked. Sometimes there is not even a connection, just like that! In order to compete for resources, the earth today has entered a state of complications. Even the United States is having trouble with Cuba and Mexico, which are supported by China, because of the oil incident in the Gulf of Mexico. The United States supports Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries, while China also supports Cuba and Mexico. It even created blockages for the United States in the Panama Canal.
Of course, there are also relatively good countries, such as some countries that are far apart geographically and have similar status. For example, Japan and New Zealand are in the same boat.
The most active person at the scene was the Japanese representative. I don’t know if he took the wrong medicine. He was jumping up and down excitedly and kept wandering between countries, trying to win over alliances. It's just that few people are willing to talk to this country that has just suffered a big loss at the hands of the master company! Nonsense, what if the company is not happy to offend 0 masters and they stumble you? It has been forgotten that the transportation capacity of the master company is limited; but the demand in all aspects of the world is unlimited!
Therefore, this is completely a seller's market, not a buyer's market! So we must see clearly that the power lies in the hands of expert companies.
Seeing some countries forming a group to negotiate with the master company, Zhang Jingyuan sneered - you still don't see your position clearly!
However, there is understanding! The South African representative suddenly stood up, walked out of the Organization of Southern African Countries, and walked directly to Zhang Jingyuan. "Hello, Boss Zhang, can we talk alone?"
"Okay! Welcome!" Zhang Jingyuan looked at the black people in front of him. For the first time, he felt that black people are also cute. Look at how direct they are. The most important thing is that they speak fluent Chinese, which is really comfortable. By the way, Gaoshou Company is an oddity among large companies. It does not have its own foreign-related department or translators - all business is communicated in Chinese, otherwise there is no need to discuss it!
Behind them, the representatives of the Organization of South African States looked at the representatives of the South African countries with resentment: These southern monkeys are indeed unreliable!
In fact, South Africa has always been an important diplomatic partner of China. The relationship between the two parties is good, so this time South Africa can take the initiative to pick out, and it is the first one, which may not mean it is not showing good intentions.
In return for a favor, Gao Shou Company is not in trouble. Today, China still has Gao Shou Company, and they all need allies. The conditions between the two parties are very simple. Gaoshou Company is responsible for the support services of its space business - 50,000 yuan per kilogram transportation cost; including the transportation of aerospace researchers, but the transportation cost for each astronaut is 5 million yuan, which is settled in Chinese currency. At the same time, South Africa opened up mineral sales to expert companies. A small South Africa has gathered half of Africa's minerals and is rich in metal resources, which are extremely needed by today's expert companies.
With the example of South Africa in front of them, those behind finally began to waver. This is like an offensive and defensive battle in a city wall. Once a gap is opened, the rest behind will be in danger.
The second person to come out was an Algerian who was cross-eyed with Spain. Now, as one of the few remaining oil-exporting countries in the world, Algeria has used its oil resources in exchange for the support of the Master Company and China. It is undeniable that today's petroleum resources have become more and more precious, but their applications are also becoming more and more widespread. The price of oil is rising steadily, with no upper limit!
"Mr. Zhang, on behalf of the 13 EU member states, I want to negotiate individually with Gaoshou Company."
Zhang Jingyuan looked at the old white man in front of him and shook his head firmly: "We only negotiate with formal countries. Organizations like yours are not stable. Today's European Union is on the verge of splitting. Please forgive me. I can’t agree.”
"You...we represent most of Europe's interests!"
"But I dominate your future interests!" Zhang Jingyuan sneered back, hitting the target sharply!
"..." The plenipotentiary representative of the European Union opened his mouth and was speechless!
On the side, the national team, led by Zhao Xing, extracted a lot of benefits from these countries one by one. Many materials that were once embargoed to China, such as resources, high-tech equipment, etc., have been opened up; some universities and top research laboratories have to accept Chinese students and apprentices. Although China still pays a lot of money, sometimes, there are some things that cannot be measured by price.
For example, nuclear warheads, perhaps with today's technology, the cost of a nuclear bomb is in the millions; however, some countries and those that do not are completely on the same level in the two worlds. But now, Chinese officials have taken advantage of the master company and are feasting on it. This can actually be regarded as the return of the master company to the country. Now both parties are interdependent and mutually beneficial.
