Chapter 546
Ruide sent off the group of Xihu Company, first came to the president's office, made a brief report to the few executives who were focused there, then returned to his office, and told the secretary: "Please, those two Chinese officials come to my office."

After a while, two young Chinese people walked into Rhett's office under the guidance of the secretary and sat down on the sofa.Ruide was silent for a while, and said in an uneasy tone: "Mr. Huang, Ms. He, I am very honored to inform you that after comparing the plans, we finally decided to choose China Hanhua Heavy Industry Group as our We will inform Hanhua staff of this news soon.”

Huang Gang, who is the director of a certain department of the State Planning Commission, sent a happy smile to He Lan beside him, then bowed and said to Ruide: "Mr. Ruide, I am very grateful for this decision made by your company, Hanhua Heavy Industry Group They are the backbone enterprises we mainly support, and their product quality and reputation are completely trustworthy, and I believe that you will have a very pleasant cooperation."

"I don't doubt this. This time, the solution brought by Hanhua Heavy Industry really refreshed our eyes. It is beyond our expectation that Chinese companies can have such technical strength. I congratulate you." Ruide's expression changed It began to get better gradually, and the depression caused by the rejection of Xihu Company gradually dissipated, and he began to change the topic to another matter: "Mr. Huang, we have already agreed to your request, so, about General Motors in China I don’t think there will be any obstacles to the establishment of joint ventures in the Mainland, right?”

Huang Gang smiled slightly and said: "Our conditions are the same. You promised to use Hanhua Heavy Industry's equipment first under the same conditions, and you have fulfilled this promise. We also promised that under the same conditions, Prioritize the approval of General Motors to enter the Chinese mainland market, and we will fulfill this promise.

The next step is for you to negotiate joint venture terms with our mainland car manufacturers. If you can convince our car manufacturers with your terms, the Planning Commission will not create obstacles for you. "

It turned out that when Hanhua and Xihu went to the United States to bid, Huang Gang, who represented the State Planning Commission, and He Lan, who represented the Machinery and Electronics Import and Export Group, also came to Detroit together.They put forward a condition to GM, hoping that GM would give priority to Hanhua Heavy Industry in this bidding, that is to say, if Hanhua Heavy Industry's proposal is not obviously inferior to Xihu Company, then GM should give priority to it. Han Hua.

In return for GM's acceptance of this condition, Huang Gang and He Lan promised that their agencies would give GM the same priority when it comes to joint ventures between GM and automakers in mainland China.

China at the end of the 90s was the eve of the vigorous development of the automobile industry. Almost all automobile manufacturers in the world have taken a fancy to the huge potential of the Chinese market and requested to enter the Chinese market one after another.The Chinese government requires that foreign automakers must enter the Chinese market in the form of a joint venture, that is, they need to establish a joint venture with a Chinese company before they can obtain a license for automobile production.Which foreign automaker a Chinese company chooses as a joint venture partner also needs to be approved by the government.

As one of the largest auto companies, GM is also coveted for the Chinese market.Currently, they are negotiating joint ventures with several Chinese auto companies. In this case, how dare they offend representatives from the Chinese government and large state-owned group companies.

Of course, the conditions proposed by Huang Gang and He Lan were not unreasonable.What they asked was only to ask General Motors to take care of Hanhua under the condition that Hanhua's technical level and quotation were not inferior to Xihu's.If Hanhua's skills are inferior to others, then they have nothing to say.Such a condition is generally acceptable to General Motors, although there are some elements of threat or blackmail.

The results of the bidding also proved that Huanggang's request was well-founded. Hanhua Heavy Industry's proposal surpassed Xihu's proposal in all aspects, which made GM a little more willing when choosing Hanhua.However, if there is no prior agreement, there are still many variables in how GM will choose. After all, Hanhua is an emerging company in the industry. For GM, it may be more stable to choose Xihu.

Now that GM has decided to choose Hanhua as a supplier, it is time for Huang Gang and He Lan to fulfill their promise.Although Huanggang did not directly agree to accept GM's entry into the Chinese market, a promise not to increase obstacles is enough for GM to breathe a sigh of relief.In the future, if the conditions offered by GM cannot satisfy the partners in mainland China, and they refuse to cooperate with GM, then we can only find the reason from GM itself.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Huang and Ms. He. If General Motors is allowed to enter the Chinese market in the future, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble for you two." Reid said politely.

He Lan replied: "Mr. Ruide, don't worry, our duty is to provide services to foreign businessmen. No matter whether you have agreed to our terms or not, we will provide enthusiastic services. For well-meaning foreign businessmen, our enthusiasm will be doubled.”

"Hehe, Ms. He, you are really a master of diplomacy. I feel very happy to be able to cooperate with a beautiful and wise lady like you." Rhett began to flatter.

He Lan smiled reservedly and said, "Thank you very much, I hope we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future."
When Huang Gang and He Lan walked out of Ruide's office, Huang Gang seemed to think of something, and said to Ruide, "Mr. Ruide, please keep the matter of Miss He and I coming to your company a secret. Disclosed to other unrelated companies."

"Of course, we will not disclose this to Xihu Company." Reid said naturally, "We will only tell Hanhua Heavy Industries about this situation. I think they will thank you for your support."

He Lan shook her head and said: "No, Mr. Ruide, we are talking about unrelated companies, including Hanhua. It is better not to let Hanhua know about this matter."

"Why?" Rhett couldn't understand. Could it be that all Chinese officials are like Lei Feng, who did good deeds without leaving their names?Think about it, these two young officials have helped Hanhua so much, how could Hanhua know how much he would give them in return.However, they actually asked GM to keep it secret.

Huang Gang looked at He Lan, smiled, and said: "Mr. Ruide, what we mean is, don't let Hanhua Heavy Industry think that they have government support behind them, so as to neglect customers. If they are arrogant , will have a very nasty effect on GM, and on the credibility of our government."

"I understand." Rhett nodded again and again, and at the same time, his impression of Chinese officials improved a lot.What a good official, who is willing to stand up for the country's enterprises, but not greedy for fame and fortune. Such an official is really a model.

Huang Gang and He Lan walked out of the GM headquarters. Huang Gang smiled and asked He Lan, "Junior Sister, are you really not going to meet Lin Zhenhua? He is in Detroit now."

A gleam of gloom flashed in He Lan's eyes, she shook her head and said, "No, since I chose to give up, why embarrass everyone."

"Hey, junior sister, how can I say you are good. Zhang Qiong told me that she reminded you a long time ago, but you are still obsessed with it. Now that it is like this, Zhang Qiong is whispering in my ear every day." Huang Gang said.

Zhang Qiong was He Lan's roommate and best friend when she was in college, and now she is Huanggang's wife.Zhang Qiong warned He Lan about the relationship between He Lan and Lin Zhenhua a few years ago. She told He Lan: An unmarried girl maintains a close relationship with a married man, and the girl must be the one who gets hurt in the end.What Huang Gang mentioned to He Lan just now was Zhang Qiong's warning.

He Lan smiled brightly when he heard Huang Gang's words, and said, "Brother, you and Zhang Qiong are now loving each other and living a happy life. How do you know that my obsession is not another kind of happiness? Being able to be unrestrained in my heart Thinking of someone, caring about him silently in the dark, and doing our best to help him, this kind of happiness is beyond your comprehension."

"Well, actually, I can understand a little." Huang Gang nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay! Brother, who are you thinking about? Be honest, I'm going to tell Zhang Qiong!" He Lan laughed loudly, pointing at Huang Gang and asked.

"No, no!" Huang Gang quickly denied, who has never lent a few erasers in his life, but how could his wife's girlfriends know about such a thing?He argued: "I mean, I can understand your feelings, but I don't have the same experience. Junior sister, from what you mean, do you intend to be alone for the rest of your life?"

"Let's take one step at a time." He Lan curled her lips and said, "Actually, living alone is pretty good, and I'm used to it now."

"Oh, this Lin Zhenhua is really harmful!" Huang Gang stamped his feet and scolded.

"Ah Qi!" In a hotel room not far from them, Lin Zhenhua, who was arranging materials, suddenly sneezed loudly.As far as telepathy is concerned, there is still a little bit of it.In fact, Lin Zhenhua did not know about Huang Gang and He Lan's coming to Detroit. He didn't know in advance that GM wanted to enter the Chinese market, so he didn't entrust the planning committee to take the lead for Hanhua. This matter was purely the result of He Lan's operation behind the scenes. .

"Tu Tut Tuk, Tuk Tuk Tuk!" The door was knocked, Lin Zhenhua stood up, went to open the door, outside the door stood an anxious expression of Zhen Zifei.

"What's the matter, Zifei, what happened?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise.

Donnie Yen said: "Boss Lin, something went wrong. I just received a call from a friend. Du Xiangyang from Carter Company was arrested!"
