Chapter 685: negotiation

"Five billion dollars."
Ma Qianshan scratched his head in distress, sitting at the window in a daze for nothing. Outside the window is a small square in Zaporozhye, with sparse crowds and old streets. He lived in a state-run hotel by the square, and he also lived with a dozen or so members of the negotiating delegation.
When you go abroad, you will find that the population of foreign countries is really small. Zaporozhye is the third largest city in Ermao, with a population of less than one million.
Yesterday, Zhou Qingfeng and Bogulayev held the first formal talks. The talks mainly consisted of the presidents of both parties laying the tone for the cooperation between the two groups and formulating a framework agreement.
Under normal circumstances, a memorandum will be left in the talks, and the two parties will follow up the substantive negotiations based on the memorandum after signing.
Bogulayev expressed his willingness to help ‘Holy Light’ establish a ‘system’, and the lions laughed and talked about the asking price of ‘5 billion dollars’. This price is a joke in Ma Qianshan.
Not to mention cut the waist in half and cut it in tenths.
But just before the negotiating table, not only did Uncle Zhou bargain, but he laughed and said-yes, five billion dollars. Give me an entire aero engine development and manufacturing system.
Ma Qianshan felt it was a pity that he could not capture Bogulayev's expression at the time. The president of Madacic was originally very confident, but after hearing Uncle Zhou's affirmative reply in Russian, he was frightened like in the middle of the night.
I just talk about it casually, do you really spend 5 billion dollars? !
Not to mention Bogulayev, even Ma Qianshan and others are as if he were alive — ‘Holy Light’ is expanding at high speed and earning more. Each month's foreign exchange income has a fixed amount, and basically no penny is saved.
Foreign exchange is the lubricant in the expansion of the group, and it has smoothed out all the contradictions. Whether it is at home or abroad, there are still very few people who are against money.
But with no money left in his hand, President Zhou stunned the words thrown by the other party. He demanded on the spot that the '5 billion dollar exchange system' be clearly written on the memorandum of the talks as the basic terms of cooperation between the two parties.
The Bogulayev side became very uncomfortable, and they had to ask for a temporary adjournment and leave the venue for private discussions-the memorandum of the talks was very serious. Unless you intend to break the contract when you go out, you have to make it carefully.
This rest is a day. Bogulayev arranged for the ‘Holy Light’ tour group to stay in the best hotel in the city. Ma Qianshan sighed in front of the hotel window.
Can't figure it out, Mr. Zhou is usually a shrewd person, why didn't he bargain?
The five-billion-dollar contract must not have been paid off immediately, nor was it completed within one year or two. This is at least a large contract that will last for more than ten years. Including talent training, industrial support, equipment procurement and so on.
But even so, five billion dollars is too much.
Want to come in Ma Qianshan...
If Madacic really wins this contract, it can be said that he can get continuous capital investment in the next ten years. The company can definitely achieve great development, at least not to starve.
If the "Holy Light" signs this contract, there is no benefit to say, but it will be desperate to make money in the next ten years, otherwise it will not fill this super hole.
Calculated in this way, the standard of measurement is whether 5 billion US dollars is worth it?
Director Ma has been in the ministries for too long, always thinking about how to live within the means and how much rice is steamed. There are very few plans to consume in advance and eat the grain.
But Zhou Qingfeng said to the members of the delegation including Ma Qianshan after the recess, "Money can be earned, but the system is not so easy to establish.
I personally talked about it, just don’t want to waste time on meaningless papers and approvals. Now that we are asking for people, since we are determined to introduce technology, it is worthwhile to spend more money. "
The president has spoken, it doesn't matter if other people understand or not. But really talk about such a contract, the start-up capital is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, the group really does not have this money now.
The talks continued the next day, and Zhou Qingfeng's brilliance was not a big deal. Bogulayev, who was on the opposite side, was getting old, and stayed up late to discuss. His eyes were dark.
After a day of internal discussions, Madacic gave a new framework agreement. The text of this agreement roughly outlines the scope of cooperation with ‘Holy Light’ and specific matters, as well as the specific amount involved.
Sure enough, as Ma Qianshan expected, this is a contract of at least fifteen years. The contract amount is not fixed, but it keeps the room for growth. But the rough estimate will not be less than 5 billion US dollars, or even exceed.
It stands to reason that ‘Holy Light’ can request to adjourn the meeting again and make a good text of the framework agreement. But Zhou Qingfeng only turned the text roughly and nodded quickly.
Ma Qianshan took the time to take a quick glance, and the text listed a dozen large items and more than one hundred small items. The initial start-up capital will not be less than 100 million US dollars.
But Uncle Zhou agreed, and he agreed. He said to Bogulayev on the spot, "I hope the two sides will immediately set up a cooperation and coordination working group to improve the framework agreement to an executable state within three months.
I hope that the agreement will be implemented after three months, so that the personnel of both parties can communicate and cooperate smoothly. As for funding, Madasic needs no worries. This is not a problem at all. "
What is a president? It is the president who can make a multibillion-dollar project on the spot.
Three months to complete contract negotiations worth billions of dollars, this speed has been very fast. This shows Zhou Qingfeng's attitude and determination, and he will forcefully advance this cooperation.
Changing Ma Qianshan used to talk about a cooperation agreement of this size in the ministries and commissions. It is not a framework agreement that won't be completed without a toss for half a year. You have to find all kinds of gangsters' instructions to turn fat people into thin people.
The large package that Zhou Qingfeng did not bargain at all made Madsic extremely excited. They have already made a 50% premium, and they are ready to be bargained by the Holy Light, but they did not expect the other party to be extremely happy.
It was so unbelievable.
If it is implemented, it will be an extremely profitable cooperation agreement. Bogulayev was getting old, and he felt that he had found a partner enough for Madacic to eat and drink for the next decade or two.
Both parties to the negotiation were too excited.
Ma Qianshan was left and became the Chinese leader of the "Holy Light-Madasic Cooperation and Coordination Working Group." A group of dozens of people who had been making soy sauce immediately became members of the working group.
On the same night, the Madacic party took the initiative to hold a celebratory dinner, invited Zhou Qingfeng and others to participate, and happily announced to the world that the details of the cooperation negotiations will start immediately.
Even the Western media have lavishly reported on the amount and significance of this cooperation-"Momentum Tsar" will work with the "God of Management" from the East to develop the aviation power industry.
A year ago, hk's "Harmony Weekly" boasted that his boss was the "God of Management". His face was red and red, and he must have enough cheeks to hold it.
But now "Harmony Weekly" no longer needs to draft drafts for bragging, but it can be bragging. His boss is already a deserved "God of Management".
Not only is
Harmony Weekly
blowing, but domestic official media is also blowing, ‘the leading figure in creating a new era of the times’.
Abroad is also blowing, "Asahi Shimbun" touted Zhou Qingfeng as "the empire's tiger that shocked the world", and BBC even touted Zhou Qingfeng as "a subversive red capitalist."
Only Ma Qianshan asked bitterly, "Mr. Zhou, three months will pass soon. Where did you get hundreds of millions of dollars of start-up capital?"
"Don't worry, little scene. The fat sheep is already in place. I will go to slaughter."
