Chapter 602 Comprador
For a long time, in addition to using technological advantages to pry open the market doors of developing countries, Western developed countries have another important means, which is to cultivate their own agents in various countries.In China, there are quite a few agents from Western countries like Nuzama. They also have a more elegant name called compradors.

The cultivation of compradors is a long-term task.Western countries must first find candidates worthy of training in developing countries, and then subsidize them to study in the West, fully brainwashing them with Western ideas, and making them emotionally close to the West.After returning to their own countries, these young people who have received Western education are often easily reused by virtue of their academic advantages and close relationship with the West, and gradually enter various important positions in the country.

By this time, Western countries will begin to use material means to strengthen these people's sense of attachment to the West, making them formally become agents of the West.Due to the existence of various anti-corruption and anti-unfair competition laws, Western countries generally do not adopt direct bribery methods to win over agents, but instead give these agents money in disguised form with funds and projects of various names. Take advantage.

A wide variety of foundations in Western countries have been established in this way.Among these foundations, although there are some organizations that are truly for public welfare purposes, most of them are manipulated by the government or large companies. The so-called non-profit statement is just deception.These foundations have their own particulars about who they support or who they award. The mystery of this can be clearly seen by a blind person.

Nuzama is one such agent of the West.For Nuzama, ALK has paid a lot of money, which is an important reason why Nuzama favors ALK products.Now, Khedira immediately promised him an aid project worth 100 million US dollars, and how much he can earn depends on his ability to operate.According to the unspoken rules in the past, the 100 million funds in the name of supporting African children, if it is really used for children, 10 will be very good, and the rest will naturally fall into Nuzama, big and small their fanny packs.

Nuzamas, big and small, who have received US dollars, naturally know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and they will inevitably open the door for Western masters in their respective fields of responsibility.Of course, when they do this, they will never say that they represent the interests of the West. They will definitely flaunt that everything they do is for the interests of the country.

When it comes to buying off agents in underdeveloped countries, China is at best a novice.

"Mr. Khedira, what do you think we should do to make the Chinese lose this bid?" Nuzama began to ask Khedira for advice very sincerely.

Khedira said: "Judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible to beat the Chinese in terms of performance, quality and price. I have an idea, you can set the price of the equipment in the bidding documents." The delivery period is very strictly limited, and if the Chinese cannot deliver the goods within the specified time, it will be treated as a breach of contract. At that time, you can make high-value claims, which will make it difficult for the Chinese to deal with.”

Nuzama shook his head and said: "Mr. Khedira, I think the delivery time is difficult for the Chinese. They are used to working overtime. If the Chinese cannot complete these tasks on time, IMHO, it may be that the European Neither can the state."

Khedira smiled and said: "Of course I know this. The speed of Chinese manufacturing equipment is indeed very fast. However, Minister Nuzama, have you ever thought that the distance from China to your Republic of Goma is very If it is far away, it needs to cross the entire Indian Ocean and bypass the Cape of Good Hope. With such a long transportation distance, can the Chinese guarantee delivery on schedule?"

Nuzama said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid this is not a problem, right? We have also purchased Chinese fertilizer equipment in the past, and they were also transported around the Cape of Good Hope. Although the journey time is relatively long, there are various obstacles that affect the navigation. factors, but as long as they fully estimate these factors and allow enough time in advance, there will be no delivery delays.”

Khedira said: "What you said is based on the smooth progress of the entire voyage, right? If something happens during the voyage..."

"Accident?" The second monk Nuza Mazhang couldn't figure it out, "Mr. Khedira, you mean, will they encounter a storm at sea? Or... er, I really can't think of what kind of accident will happen. "

"There will be changes." Khedira said meaningfully.

"Well... well, I will do as you said." Nuzama was too lazy to guess Khedira's riddle, he said, "Mr. Khedira, according to what you said, it can't actually stop China People get this project. Even if they encounter delivery delays, it is after they get this project, which is meaningless to ALK.”

Khedira said: "Minister Nuzama, you have to know that the Chinese ambitions for Africa are not just for your Republic of Goma. They want to get all the power plant projects in Africa. Let them suffer setbacks and it will be very difficult for them to compete for other projects. So it doesn't matter whether they get this project or not, what matters is that we can't let them successfully complete this project."

Nuzama was speechless. Khedira's idea not only hit Hanhua Heavy Industries, but also damaged the interests of the Republic of Goma.If Hanhua Heavy Industry is really unable to deliver on schedule, the Republic of Goma will file a claim against Hanhua, which will mean a protracted lawsuit. During this period, the Equatorial Power Plant cannot be put into operation. In fact, the Republic of Goma will suffer the most. .

Do you want to reject Khedira's crazy plan?Nuzama was fighting fiercely in his heart, but in the end, his interests prevailed over his sense of responsibility. He nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Khedira, let's do it according to your plan. Hopefully, this will be a relatively satisfactory result.”

Khedira said: "Don't worry, Minister Nuzama, we Germans do things in a proper way. In addition, I can promise you that no matter what the final result of this project is, our friendship will not be affected of."

"I have no doubts about it," Nuzama said.

The Frankfurt Industrial Equipment Exhibition, which lasted more than ten days, finally came to an end.In this equipment exhibition, the one who gained the most is naturally the Chinese Pavilion.Affected by the China Day activities organized by the Chinese embassy, ​​Frankfurt set off a small upsurge in researching and understanding China. Businessmen from all over the world, after watching the promotional video of "China Power", became interested in Chinese industrial products. As a result, the transaction volume of the Chinese pavilion has increased by more than 50% compared with previous years, which does not include those projects that are yet to be further negotiated.

Among the entire China Pavilion, it is natural that Hanhua Heavy Industry has the most profit.In addition to the various sales intentions signed at the exhibition, Hanhua Heavy Industry has also recruited hundreds of talents. Except for a small number of Chinese students studying in Europe, most of them are local engineers and senior technicians in Europe. , In their minds, there is technology and experience accumulated in Europe for hundreds of years.

According to the different conditions of these European talents, Lin Zhenhua divided them into two parts for placement.

The first part is that there are family drags, or those who are unwilling to work in Asia because of their personal preferences.Lin Zhenhua agreed that they could stay and work locally in Europe. With these people, Lin Zhenhua established the European Research Institute of Hanhua Heavy Industry and several after-sales service centers to provide maintenance services for the equipment sold by Hanhua to Europe.

This European research institute and several after-sales service centers will be enriched by Chinese employees in the future, which is the bridgehead for Hanhua to enter the European market.Entering the European market is Hanhua's unswerving goal. After all, the profits in this market are the most lucrative.

The second part means that they can go to work in Asia. Some of them are full of curiosity about the secret Asia and regard work as an opportunity to travel.For these people, Lin Zhenhua decided to bring them back and work with Chinese engineers and workers in order to copy their abilities and improve Hanhua's technical strength in an all-round way.

Haig, who had talked with Lin Zhenhua, has been officially hired. Together with He Fei and the marketing and technical personnel sent by Xingbei Heavy Machinery, he quickly formulated a plan to participate in the bidding for the Equatorial Thermal Power Plant of the Republic of Goma. .According to him, according to this plan, coupled with the technical strength of Hanhua Heavy Industry and Xingbei Heavy Machinery as support, this project will definitely fall into the hands of the Chinese.

Cheng Run and his classmates have also been hired, but they are not ready to graduate yet, so they can only sign an agreement with the company first, and then return to China to work after their studies are over.Lin Zhenhua gave them a lot of projects, and asked them to use their time at school to carefully check some information and do some pre-research work.Of course, you can get paid for doing these jobs, which makes these poor students ecstatic.

Similar to this method, Lin Zhenhua used it on the students of Huaqing University 20 years ago, and now he repeats the old trick on these foreign students, and the effect has not decreased at all.

After bidding farewell to Frankfurt, Lin Zhenhua, Li Mozi, Gu Jiahua and others boarded the flight back to China. After 10 hours of air flight, they finally returned to the capital city after a long absence.
