Chapter 1299: Sympathy

"Sister, the night view of the Lion City is really beautiful." Tan Zhenhua praised sincerely: "This is what a bustling metropolis should look like."
What he said is really not a compliment. In the Xingjia city of Po City in the late 1980s, the positive impact of the economic take-off on the country can already be felt very clearly. In addition, Li Guangyao’s philosophy of governing the country is "severe penalties." In a country where chewing gum is illegal, everything looks neat, orderly and orderly.
Prosperous and civilized, this is a day's walk, and Tan Zhenhua's evaluation of this city and this country.
He Jing, who served as the guide, smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Eric. I am also very proud of my hometown. It is my ideal to make this place prosper forever."
"Come here." Tan Zhenhua said in his heart: "After a day of idle talk, I finally got to the point."
"This is really a coincidence. The ideals of Sister Sister are exactly the same as mine. I also want to make my hometown prosper and continue to prosper. Although the status quo there is still a long way from my ideals, I feel that I only need to walk. By the way, no matter how far the goal is, there will always be one day."
He Jing nodded slightly, and liked Tan Zhenhua's answer very much. In this small rhetoric confrontation, the two sides completed another test of the other's bottom line. The result showed that both sides were very firm. , And they are the kind of people who stick to principles.
This made the two of them feel a sense of sympathy, but they also understood one thing-the next negotiation will be extremely difficult.
He Jing is not an employee of PSA, but because of her special status, she was invited to participate in the formal meeting the next day, and her status can also serve as a lubricant between the two parties.
Since one party is Tan Zhenhua, the other party will naturally have to be a heavyweight with considerable status. Although Tan Zhenhua’s trip to Xingjiapo is nominally a private trip, since everyone knows what it is for, In fact, there is no need to cover up.
So Tan Zhenhua met Li Qingyan.
This is a middle-aged man with excellent demeanor, meticulously dressed and handsome in speech and manner. According to He Jing, Li Qingyan currently serves as the chairman of PSA's board of directors and also serves as the "Employers Federation" of Xingjiapo. The chairmanship, obviously, his influence in the business community of Sing Kapo is not trivial.
Because he was also surnamed Li, Tan Zhenhua once thought that this was also one of Li Guangyao's family members, but later did he learn from the simple self-introductions of both sides that this was a misunderstanding.
Li Qingyan was originally from Xiangjiang. He didn’t come to Xingjiapo until 1973. At that time, he was only to take care of some of the businesses invested by his family here. However, he did not expect that he took root until the early 1980s. Joined Xingjiapo nationality and became a citizen here.
I only joined Xingjiapo nationality in the early 1980s, and I am only 40 years old this year, and he is already the chairman of the PSA board of directors. No matter how many backgrounds this person has yet to say, at least one thing is certain-this person The ability is absolutely extraordinary.
Tan Zhenhua evaluates Li Qingyan in this way, but he does not know that Li Qingyan's evaluation of him is even higher.
To achieve such an achievement in his early twenties, and to come out of a country like China that is considered relatively closed and lacks modern commercial soil, to become the most influential business leader of the young generation in the world, this person must be a man Enchanting genius.
It’s not a good thing to evaluate opponents too high, just like Ximen Chuuxue vs. Ye Gucheng, in the duel between masters, both sides will unconsciously become more cautious and expose themselves very carefully and little by little. At the same time trying to test the other's tolerance.
As a result, this negotiation turned into a lengthy tug of war between the two parties, and it didn't look like a short-term negotiation of a ugly man.
Because the most basic starting point of the two parties is hugely different-Tan Zhenhua insists that Huaxia and him lead the development of Gwadar Port, while PSA firmly believes that although Unocal in the "consortium" has voluntarily withdrawn, PSA has not given up on this For the project, they will reconsider the port development plan and actively participate in the bidding. This time, the bidding conditions are much more reasonable than the content proposed by the "consortium", and at least the "sovereignty issue" of the Pakistan Railway will not be involved.
Moreover, Li Qingyan also made a special explanation to Tan Zhenhua-the "Memorandum" that caused an uproar in Pakistan Railways, PSA did not participate in the whole process and did not know it. This is entirely a trick that Unocal unilaterally bought some people inside Pakistan Railways. PSA is an enterprise that respects the laws and customs of the country where the port is located. Otherwise, it is impossible to guarantee the smooth operation of over 600 ports around the world managed and operated by PSA.
He also stated that on this point, he had deliberately provided written explanations and explanations to the Pakistan Railways, and provided some evidence to prove his innocence. At the same time, PSA also stated to the Pakistan Railways that the "consortium" It has been disbanded, but PSA will continue to bid for the construction and subsequent management and operation of Gwadar Port. They are re-developing a new bidding plan. The Pakistan Railway has replied to express its understanding and agree to PSA's continued bidding in an independent capacity.
In this regard, Tan Zhenhua said sarcastically that the
scandal
initiated by the
consortium
had already caused the reputation of the two companies, Unocal and PSA, to foul the streets of Pakistan. Now he wants to leave the pot on the Unocal family. I am afraid it is not so easy on the body, and even if the Pakistani government is willing to agree, ordinary people may not agree. They may think about the problem more simply and impulsively, and this will make PSA's efforts to restore the situation more difficult.
In this regard, Li Qingyan expressed sufficient confidence, and his confidence comes from his own strength-port operation is not a simple matter, involving all aspects of work, from engineering construction to route setting, from berth planning to stacking Field arrangements, from storage and transportation capabilities to maintenance facilities... So many trivial and complex projects want to be organically integrated and run in an orderly manner. This must be operated by an experienced and powerful team. PSA just happens to be Experts in this area, and there are more than 600 successful cases around the world to prove this.
On the other hand, what about Tan Zhenhua?
It really has nothing but money. To be honest, China has hired PSA as a consultant for the operation of several major ports in China. Now the students have not yet understood, they plan to grab jobs with their teachers. Up?
So, what if you win this time? In the end, it will take time to test whether the port can operate normally after it is completed. But Mr. Tan Zhenhua, do you think your current team can pass this test?
Once it fails, it is nothing more than adding a huge loss and debt to yourself in the end. Then instead of doing this, Eric, you should take a step back and give up the fight for Gwadar Port as before, OK?
