"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your guidance. We will seriously consider it." The president said with a smile on his face, and no one knew whether what he said was true or false.
But it's obvious that if he listened so seriously just now, it would be impossible if he didn't have any thoughts deep in his heart.
In fact, there was one thing that the president did not say, and that was that the points raised by Zhang Ran had some overlap with them during the meeting, which made them even more biased.
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "It's just some humble opinions. I hope I can provide a little help to your country."
The next step is to discuss some investment matters, which are mixed with the development of the industry.
This meeting lasted for almost six hours, starting at ten in the morning, having a meal at noon, continuing in the afternoon, and ending almost at night.
By the end of the meeting, Zhang Ran had finalized a total of almost US$600 million in intended investment.
Note that this is just an investment intention. It is definitely not that simple to finalize the investment.
The people here probably want to use this opportunity to really finalize the deal, and maybe this meeting is also intentional.
But Zhang Ran is not a fool, and of course he will not finalize it at this time, because then it will be difficult for him to negotiate privately with this party.
To put it bluntly, intention investment means having the intention to invest, but it does not necessarily mean investing. If the negotiation fails later, Zhang Ran can regret it at any time.
Moreover, Zhang Ran also left a bait here, that is, if South Africa wants to develop manufacturing in the future, then he can work with China to get a group of domestic manufacturing companies to open branches here to drive the development of manufacturing industries here. develop.
There will not be many jobs available at that time.
If this really succeeds, it will be a great thing for South Africa.
This incident was published in the newspapers the next day and aroused discussion among many people in South Africa.
Not much else to say, just those jobs that Zhang Ran said. If Zhang Ran really followed what he said, there would be at least 100,000 jobs.
This almost made many people in South Africa go crazy. There is a shortage of jobs in South Africa right now, and many people have nothing to do.
This is 100,000 jobs!
No matter which country it is placed in, it will not be underestimated. Not to mention, even if it is placed in China, it will receive immense attention.
So the next day, many people left messages on the official website, saying they hoped the government could cooperate with Zhang Ran.
This matter is slowly brewing.
Last night, after the meeting, Zhang Ran was not in a hurry to conduct other negotiations with the people in South Africa, but returned to the hotel.
His purpose is to see if such news can survive. Once it successfully attracts people's attention and attention, it will be of huge benefit to him.
The development of the matter was beyond his expectation. Zhang Ran did not expect that it would go so smoothly. There were some heated discussions throughout the morning.
At the same time, Zhang Ran also asked people to help let the word out, that is, Zhang Ran is very strong for such investment and intention, and the final result still depends on the South African government.
In this way, the pressure is all on their side. If the cooperation does not succeed in the end, Zhang Ran cannot be blamed.
On the afternoon of the third day, unexpected news came to Zhang Ran. When he heard the news, Zhang Ran was stunned.
It turned out that on the night of the second day, the China News Channel played what Zhang Ran said for almost three minutes. No one else was treated like this.
It can be said that this move has once again improved Zhang Ran's reputation in the country.
This is not the key. The key thing is that someone actually united with some manufacturing bosses to publicly support Zhang Ran.
In other words, once Zhang Ran reaches cooperation with South Africa, they will choose to open a branch in South Africa.
When this news reached South Africa, it immediately caused an uproar again!
If it was just Zhang Ran's guarantee before that no one could really be sure about it, then there is no need to doubt it now.
The reason why Zhang Ran made such a promise before was because he was confident.
One is that this place is indeed suitable for the development of manufacturing industry. It is rich in various products and the labor force is relatively cheap.
The second is that with his current identity and status, it is no problem to unite with some large companies. As long as there are benefits, he can persuade them.
The third and most important point is that Zhang Ran is confident in protecting their safety on this land.
But Zhang Ran didn't expect that so many people supported him, although Zhang Ran also knew that these people made such a choice because they saw the huge benefits contained in it.
But there is no doubt that Zhang Ran is still a little excited and grateful.
This also demonstrates Zhang Ran's status. So many people responded to just a slogan.
At the same time, this is also the good relationship that Zhang Ran formed back then. Otherwise, even if Zhang Ran was the richest man in China, even if he was the richest man in the world, there would not be so many people choosing to support Zhang Ran at this time.
This also shocked many people at Zhang Ran's influence, and at the same time raised Zhang Ran's rating again. Such a person can really change a lot of things.
And some people are extremely proud, such as the Zhang Sicheng brother and sister!
This is their father. He has such influence, and of course he deserves their pride and pride.
The same is true for other industries of the Zhang family. Many employees in the industry felt an inexplicable sense of pride in their hearts when they heard the news.
This is their big boss, and as employees, they are proud to have such a big boss.
Even because of this incident, the stock prices of several companies owned by Zhang Ran have increased significantly.
In this way, the direction of the wind has completely changed.
Not only was Zhang Ran negotiating with the South African government, but also some other people were beginning to think about it secretly.
Although Zhang Ran's main purpose of coming here this time is for the Development Bank of South Africa, mainly to compete with those shareholders, but in fact, the South African government will also play a big role.
After all, the Development Bank of South Africa is located in South Africa, and it still falls under its jurisdiction, and the South African government also has a certain share, but only a small amount.
Once the South African government chooses to support Zhang Ran, it can decide many things.
Even if nothing else is said, some future investments here will need to rely on South Africa.
Zhang Ran also started to call those people back. After all, they were so supportive of him, so he still needed to express what he should express.
