Chapter 491 Venezuela
"...Brother Lin, I'm leaving, please forgive me for my waywardness in the past. However, no matter where I go, I will always pay attention to Hanhua, because this is your career. I will pray for you every day, may you business flourished.

I really hate, I hate why I was not born in the West, our Chinese life is really too restrictive.Love, you can't love to be happy, hate, you can't hate to understand...

I will always love you, Lanlan"

Lin Zhenhua folded the letter that He Lan had sent him, and let out a long breath, feeling an inexplicable sadness in his heart.He remembered that many years ago, He Lan had asked He Haifeng to bring him a hand-painted greeting card. The man on it was wearing an old military uniform with his collar badge removed, and the girl was wearing pigtails and her face was painted red.The two are holding hands, and there is a small poem next to it: Smile Mimi, smile Mimi, our friendship is so rare.

At that time, He Lan was only 11 years old, and she couldn't understand the friendship between a man and a woman at all.In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. The little loli back then has grown up and knows what love is. It's a pity that the fate that likes to tease people makes a story so poignant.

Love, you can't love it happily, hate, you can't hate it clearly.

"Dear passengers, the plane you are on is about to take off, please fasten your seat belt..." There was a gentle reminder from the passenger lady in the cabin, Lin Zhenhua shook his head, and drove the image of He Lan out of his mind Get out and fasten your seat belt around your waist.

The Boeing 747 roared into the sky and flew to the other side of the ocean...

The destination of Lin Zhenhua's trip is Venezuela in South America.With the efforts of Chu Hongyang and Zuo Zhiyixiong, the Venezuelan Ministry of Industry and Hanhua Heavy Industry Group signed a contract for the construction of two sets of 2 sets of large ethylene.The project adopts a turn-key approach, and the Chinese party is responsible for providing all the equipment, as well as the construction of the infrastructure and buildings of the factory area, and the contract value of each set reaches 45 billion US dollars.

These two sets of large ethylene are hard-won. The Venezuelan government originally planned to hand over these two sets of equipment to the German ALK Group for construction. The 2% lower quotation and the condition of providing 2-year maintenance made Venezuela give up ALK.Of course, another reason why Venezuela and ALK failed to reach a cooperation agreement is that the leftist revolution is going on in Venezuela, and the chairman of ALK is an extreme rightist. This political difference also directly affects economic cooperation. .

Hanhua Heavy Industry cannot afford these two sets of orders. The 2-ton large ethylene technology is the result of the ethylene battle, and it is in the hands of various companies in the chemical equipment alliance.When Hanhua received the order, it was only as the general contractor. When it comes to the manufacture of various parts of the equipment, it had to be distributed to other companies in the alliance.For business related to civil engineering and other aspects, domestic construction companies should also be invited to participate.

Being a general contractor is very wonderful. Those companies waiting to take over the contract from Hanhua all look down on Hanhua. No matter what request Hanhua puts forward, they will unconditionally agree.Lin Zhenhua dared to call Huang Qingyu in the middle of the night to ask for business because he had an order that the Northern Petroleum Machinery Factory could not refuse.For the two sets of Venezuelan large ethylene alone, the North Petroleum Machinery Factory can get a share of more than 2 million U.S. dollars. Lin Zhenhua sold Huang Qingyu a plate rolling machine worth 1 million U.S. dollars, and Huang Qingyu naturally agreed without even making a fuss.

"Zhenhua, you've worked hard all the way."

"Boss Lin, is the journey going well?"

"Director Huang, Director Gao, you have worked hard."

At the Bolivar International Airport in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, Chu Hongyang and Zuo Zhiyixiong led a group of Chinese, Japanese and Venezuelans to grandly welcome Lin Zhenhua and his party at the exit.Together with Lin Zhenhua, directors of several large petrochemical equipment companies, such as Huang Qingyu and Gao Decai, came to Venezuela. They all came to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the project and paid a visit to local economic officials.Venezuela is an important oil-producing country, and the demand for petrochemical equipment is very large.

"Zuo Zhi, I heard from Hong Yang that you have contributed the most to winning the project in Venezuela this time. Thank you so much." When everyone walked to the parking lot together, Lin Zhenhua intentionally walked with Zuo Zhiyixiong, Talk to him.

Because he was walking, Zuo Zhiyixiong couldn't stop to bow, but he nodded deeply to Lin Zhenhua and said solemnly: "Chairman Lin is too polite, I am also a member of Hanhua Heavy Industry now. As a member, what I do is just my job."

"It's not easy to do your job well." Lin Zhenhua said, "You, Mr. Koizumi Jiro, and some other Japanese employees have done excellent work in the past two years. Our group headquarters considers that we must You carry out some rewards. There are currently two ideas for the way of rewards, one is to use the bonus directly, and the other is to distribute a part of the internal shares of Nihon Heavy Industry to you. Which of these two methods do you personally prefer?"

"Reward?" Zuo Zhiyixiong was a little surprised, "Why?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "As far as the two sets of large ethylene equipment just won are concerned, they are of great significance to Hanhua Heavy Industries. And opened the door of South America. With Venezuela as a demonstration, it will be easier for us to sell large-scale complete sets of oil equipment in other countries in the future.

In view of your significant contribution to the negotiation of this project, the company headquarters has decided to give you a reward worth 100 million US dollars in addition to your normal commission. The question now is whether you want to get cash or corresponding share of shares. "

"If possible, I hope to get the shares." Zuozhi Yoshio said.

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly. Zuo Zhiyixiong's answer made him feel very relieved, which means that Zuo Zhiyixiong has confidence in Nihong Heavy Industry after being acquired by Hanhua.Yoshio Satoshi has some prestige among the Japanese employees of Nihon Heavy Industries, and his choice can basically reflect the choices of most Japanese employees.

Nihong Heavy Industry was acquired by Hanhua two years ago, some of its factories were demolished to China, and its research institute and two other factories remained in Japan.Nihong Heavy Industry was originally a listed company, but it withdrew from the capital market when it was acquired by Hanhua.Today, the production of Nihong Heavy Industry has resumed. Due to the cooperation from China, its production cost has been greatly reduced, the market competitiveness of its products has been continuously improved, and its profit prospects are very impressive.

In this case, He Fei is handling the re-listing of Nihong Heavy Industry.According to the vision of Hanhua Group headquarters, after Nihong Heavy Industry is re-listed, Hanhua will retain 51% of the shares to ensure the controlling rights, and the remaining 49% of the shares will be issued to the public.Among the public shares, a part will be used as the internal shareholding of the employees of the enterprise to stabilize some core employees.Among these core employees, Zuo Zhiyixiong was included.

Generally speaking, the executives of Hanhua Group are very satisfied with the Japanese employees left by Nihong Heavy Industry. The Japanese are used to obeying and treat their work very seriously. This is their advantage.If there is any defect, it is that the way of dealing with the world is too rigid, which is called "axis" in Chinese.

"Zuo Zhi, when you were discussing business this time, you competed head-to-head with ALK. Do you have any experience?" Lin Zhenhua asked, changing the subject.

Zuo Zhiyixiong replied seriously: "ALK's technical strength is very strong, much stronger than our Hanhua Heavy Industry. The ethylene equipment scheme they provide is better than ours. Lots of hurdles."

"I've already heard about this." Lin Zhenhua said.

Saji Yoshio continued: "However, the price of ALK's equipment is much higher than ours, especially when it comes to installation and maintenance. Their labor price is almost 10 times that of ours. This is their biggest obstacle, and it is also our victory." In fact, in the past, Nihong Heavy Industry was defeated by Hanhua because of the high labor cost. With all due respect, we rely entirely on low cost to compete, which cannot last long. I don’t know China’s low labor cost. How long can the advantage last?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "China's per capita GNP is only 50/50 of that of Japan and Germany, so it is not surprising that our workers' wages are only [-]/[-] of that of Japan and Germany. When the value is raised to the same level as Japan and Germany, workers’ wages will be the same, and I think this process may take decades.”

"If this is the case, I think that in the next few years, Hanhua may squeeze all American and European companies out of South America, and Japanese companies will not be spared." Saji Yoshio said.

"This is exactly what I want." Lin Zhenhua said unabashedly, although Yoshio Satoshi is Japanese, but he is now an employee of Hanhua, Lin Zhenhua must tell him what he thinks.

Yoshio Zuozhi shook his head, expressing a sense of helplessness. However, since he is already a member of Hanhua, he can only think from the perspective of Hanhua, and can no longer think about the interests of Japanese companies. .

The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the parking lot, and Chu Hongyang had already rented two buses.While beckoning Lin Zhenhua and others to get on the car, he said to everyone: "Everyone, get on the car first. Let's go to the capital Caracas to rest for a day, and then go to the construction site to attend the groundbreaking ceremony. The construction site is in Matani. Caracas is still more than 100 kilometers away. By the way, if you have any requirements in Venezuela, just tell me, and I will make arrangements for you.”

"Xiao Chu, if there is anything special in Venezuela, you should tell us first, otherwise, we know what to buy, or what to play?" Huang Qingyu said to Chu Hongyang with a laugh.

Chu Hongyang chuckled and said, "Venezuela is most famous for Miss World. This is the place that produces the most Miss World in the world. I wonder if the leaders are interested in watching it?"
