Chapter 495 Industry Chain

Although Lin Zhenhua's idea of ​​cooperating with Zaviz was an idea, it was definitely not a reckless move.Venezuela is considered a relatively wealthy country in South America because it has abundant oil resources.Zaviz is a fanatical nationalist. After becoming president, he has always held high the banner of anti-American and anti-Western.It is from his political stance that Lin Zhenhua sees opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.

No matter how strong Zaviz is, after all, Venezuela is a small country with an incomplete industrial system. If he wants to maintain economic independence under the pressure of the West, he must seek the support of other major countries, and China is undoubtedly a very suitable country. one's business Patner.

Since three years ago, Lin Zhenhua has shifted the focus of Hanhua's market development to Latin America. Of course, this does not mean that he has given up on Africa, but that Hanhua has already had a very stable position in Africa. Now it is time to develop Latin America. it's time.As Zaviz said, Latin America is much richer than Africa and can accept higher-tech and higher-priced equipment, which is also very beneficial to promote Hanhua's technological upgrade.

Because of the above considerations, the moment Lin Zhenhua heard Zaviz's speech, he decided to meet with this political strongman to discuss cooperation between the two parties.He wasn't worried about what he would suffer from the cooperation with Zaviz. According to his impression, this man was rather reckless, and he kept his promise in doing things.

The only thing Lin Zhenhua didn't expect was that Zaviz expected such a cooperation more than him, so that Lin Zhenhua could negotiate the price.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Zhenhua's face, and he said: "Mr. Zaviz is really a straightforward person. If this is the case, there is no need to be courteous between us. Can you make it clear that you hope to get more from us?" What kind of industrial equipment did you get?"

Zaviz gave one of his assistants a look, and the assistant came forward and began to talk to Lin Zhenhua in a lively manner.According to his self-introduction, his name is Aldoni. He studied in the United States in his early years, majoring in mechanical engineering. He is currently working as the chief engineer of a large foreign-funded enterprise in Venezuela.Although working in a foreign company, like Zaviz, he has a strong "Venezuelan heart" and wants to build an independent national industry, so he joined Zaviz's political party and became an important backbone.

Speaking of this, Zawiz interjected, saying that if he can be elected president, he will definitely appoint Aldoni as the Minister of National Planning and Development in charge of economic work.

"What we have to do is to make the Venezuelan people no longer need to buy Western industrial products." The future Minister of Planning and Development ended his speech with such a bold statement.

While he was talking, Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang kept taking notes, listing a lot of projects that Aldoni hoped to build, including military industry, steel, automobiles, daily chemicals, home appliances, clothing, etc. It can be regarded as everything that one expects to have.However, Lin Zhenhua noticed an interesting phenomenon, that is, it does not include the manufacturing of large-scale industrial equipment.

"Venezuela is a small country." Aldoni seemed to see Lin Zhenhua's thoughts, and he explained: "We cannot support a complete industrial chain. For example, the 45 tons of ethylene you are building for us Engineering, I think, it is unrealistic for us to master such technology and manufacturing capabilities by ourselves.”

"Mr. Aldoni is very right." Lin Zhenhua nodded in agreement, secretly admiring Aldoni a little more.Zaviz had kept saying before that he wanted to build a complete industrial system, but Aldoni, as Zaviz's confidant, did not blindly obey, but put forward the requirements for industrial construction according to a reasonable idea.

In this world, the countries that can have a complete industrial system are the United States, Russia and China.Although Germany, Japan, Britain, France and other countries have high industrial levels, they dare not say that their systems are complete. They have their own division of labor and focus on certain fields. Do more professionally in the field you do.

As for countries like Venezuela, a complete industrial system is more of a need for propaganda, which is actually impossible and unnecessary.For example, even China has made great efforts to master technologies such as large ethylene equipment. For a country like Venezuela, it is completely unnecessary to spend the same amount of effort to develop this technology. It is more important to import directly from abroad. cost-effective.

Aldoni's design is perfect for Hanhua.Hanhua itself is engaged in equipment manufacturing, and Hanhua's petrochemical equipment, machine tools and other products can just meet the requirements put forward by Aldoni.As for iron and steel equipment, automotive equipment, etc., Hanhua is not good at it, but Lin Zhenhua can bring these needs back to China, and then there will be a bunch of equipment manufacturers sitting in line, waiting for Lin Zhenhua to share the fruit.

"Mr. Lin, what I said is just a preliminary idea. As for how these projects should be configured, the scale of each project, the basic conditions, etc., to be honest, I have no experience. So, can I ask Mr. Lin Invite some experts from China to provide us with guidance?" Aldoni said modestly, he is an engineer, and he is very rigorous in speaking and doing things, and he will not pretend to understand.

"This is absolutely fine." Lin Zhenhua said, patting his chest, "Well, after I return to China, I will contact some senior industrial experts for you. If they are interested and their physical condition permits, I will introduce them to Venezuela. came to work."

When Lin Zhenhua said this, he had already considered the candidates in his mind.There is no doubt that Zhu Jinwen, the director of the former Machinery Committee, is the most suitable candidate.Lin Zhenhua still vividly recalls the scene of Zhu Jinwen talking eloquently when he introduced the five small industries to his African brothers. He should be fully competent to invite him to come to Venezuela as a consultant.

"Great, Mr. Lin, we are waiting for your news." Zawiz said to Lin Zhenhua.

"Then your domestic side..." Lin Zhenhua stopped in the middle of speaking, waiting for Zaviz to give a reply.

Zaviz waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "We are about to hold congressional elections, and we are sure to get more than two-thirds of the seats. At that time, we can ask the government to start building Aldo in the name of Congress. These industrial projects designed by Nigeria, and the partners are naturally Chinese manufacturers.”

"Okay, Mr. Aldoni, you can contact me when it comes to specific business. In the next six months, I will always be in South America, and I may be in Venezuela most of the time." Chu Hongyang quickly handed over to Aldoni Put on his business card, which has the address of Hanhua Heavy Industry's liaison office in Caracas.

Both the host and the guest completed the intentional negotiation in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. Further negotiations depend on the contact between Aldoni and Chu Hongyang. There are many details, and Zaviz is not interested in understanding them one by one. of.

"Mr. Lin, if I can be elected president, I will definitely grant you the status of an honorary citizen of Venezuela and regard you as the most loyal friend of the Venezuelan people." When Zavez shook hands with Lin Zhenhua to bid farewell, he promised with a superior attitude road.

Lin Zhenhua naturally can't fight for equality with this future president, at least he is a few years older than him, and without the role of a time traveler, he has done a career that only a time traveler can do, Lin Zhenhua There is a bit of admiration for him.He said to Zawiz: "Mr. Zawiz, I have [-]% confidence in your election as president, so I also have [-]% confidence in our cooperation."

Zaviz is quite satisfied with Lin Zhenhua's answer. As a person planning to run for the presidency, he still attaches great importance to such wishes.In his heart, he is already thinking about how to continue to strengthen cooperation with Lin Zhenhua in the future, which will also be very effective in improving his power during the election.

After sending Zaviz and others out of the hotel, Lin Zhenhua and Chu Hongyang returned to the room.Looking at the items recorded in the notebook and Aldoni's contact method, Chu Hongyang couldn't believe it was true.

"Zhenhua, according to what the surname Ao said, the project they need to build requires equipment worth at least 500 billion U.S. dollars. Are you really planning to purchase all these equipment from us?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Of course they will shop around, but based on what I know about Zaviz, he would rather choose our equipment than look at the face of Western manufacturers. 500 billion is nothing, as long as we provide If the equipment is good, they will definitely have the second and third phases of construction, and the next 1000 billion or 2000 billion will not be a problem.”

"Boss, I'm convinced." Chu Hongyang said.The title of boss was what Lin Zhenhua taught him when they were young. Over the years, as everyone got older and took up executive positions, Chu Hongyang seldom called Lin Zhenhua that way anymore.However, after the meeting with Zaviz just now, Chu Hongyang felt that only by using this title can he reflect his admiration for Lin Zhenhua.

"I said boss, are you really optimistic that Zaviz can become president? Why can't I see it?"

Lin Zhenhua pretended to be mysterious and said: "This question is a long story to talk about. It has to start with the origin of the universe. I think you should stop asking about it. However, Aldoni, you have to keep him in prison." Hold on tight, after we return to China, I will invite Director Zhu over, and I will send some engineers over, and together you will finalize the industrial projects that Venezuela needs, and then we can start work.”

"Zhenhua, don't worry, we've already talked about this level of project. If I run away from me again, I will spend so many years in sales for nothing." Chu Hongyang replied confidently.
