"Five billion dollars."
Ma Qianshan scratched his head in distress, sitting in front of the window, speechless. Outside the window is a small square in Zaporozhye City, with sparse crowds and old streets. He lives in a state-run hotel by the square, with more than a dozen members of the visiting negotiating team.
When you go abroad, you will find that the foreign population is really small. Zaporozhye is the third largest city in Ermao, with a population of less than one million.
Yesterday, Zhou Qingfeng and Bogurayev had their first formal talks. This meeting mainly focused on setting the tone for the cooperation between the two groups and formulating a framework agreement.
Under normal circumstances, the meeting will leave a memorandum, and after the two parties sign it, follow-up substantive negotiations will be conducted on the basis of the memorandum.
Bogurayev expressed his willingness to help the'Holy Light' establish a'system', and the lion laughed and talked about the asking price of '5 billion US dollars'. This price sounds like a joke in Ma Qianshan.
Not to mention that it was cut in half, it is too much to cut into one-tenth.
But at the negotiating table, Uncle Zhou not only did not bargain, but laughed and said-yes, five billion US dollars. Give me the entire aero engine R&D and manufacturing system.
Ma Qianshan felt that it was a pity that he could not capture Bogurayev's expression at the time. The president of Madasic was originally very confident, but after hearing the affirmative answer from Uncle Zhou in Russian, he was as if he was frightened by a ghost in the middle of the night.
I just said casually, you really spend 5 billion dollars? !
Not to mention Bogurayev, even Ma Qianshan and others are like a ghost-the'Holy Light' expands at a high speed and makes a lot of money. There is a fixed amount of foreign exchange income every month, and basically no penny is saved.
Foreign exchange is the lubricant in the expansion of the group, and all contradictions have been settled. Whether at home or abroad, there are still very few people who oppose money.
But when there was no money left in his hand, President Zhou was stunned by the words thrown by the other party. On the spot, he requested that the '5 billion U.S. dollar exchange system' be clearly written in the memorandum of the meeting as the basic terms of cooperation between the two parties.
Both Bogurayev's side became very uncomfortable, and they had to ask for a temporary adjournment and leave the meeting to discuss privately-the memorandum of the meeting was a serious matter. Unless you want to go out and break the contract, you have to make it carefully.
This break is one day. Bogurayev arranged the "Holy Light" tour group to stay in the best hotel in the city. Ma Qianshan sighed right in front of the hotel window.
I can’t figure it out. Mr. Zhou is usually a shrewd person, why doesn’t he bargain
The five-billion-dollar contract will certainly not be paid off immediately, nor will it be completed within one or two years. This is at least a big contract that will last more than ten years. Including personnel training, industrial support, equipment procurement and so on.
But even so, five billion dollars is too much.
I want to come to Ma Qianshan...
If Madsic really wins this contract, it can be said that he will be able to get continuous funding for the next ten years. The company is sure to achieve great development, at least not to starve to death.
If'Holy Light' signs this contract, it's hard to say what the benefits will be, but the next ten years will have to work hard to make money, otherwise this super hole will be filled.
Calculated in this way, the standard to be measured is whether 5 billion US dollars is worth it
Director Ma has been in the ministries for too long, always considering how much rice to steam and how much rice to live within his means. There are very few plans to consume food in advance and to eat food.
But after the recess, Zhou Qingfeng said to members of the visiting group including Ma Qianshan, "Money can be earned, but the system is not so easy to establish.
I will talk about it personally, just don't want to waste time on meaningless writing and approval. Now we are asking for others. Since we are determined to introduce technology, it is worth spending more money. "
The president has spoken, and it doesn't matter if other people understand or not. It's really possible to talk about such a contract, the start-up capital is at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. The group really doesn't have this money now.
The talks continued the next day, and Zhou Qingfeng's vigorous spirit was fine. On the contrary, Bogurayev, who was on the opposite side, was getting old, staying up late to talk, and his bags were dark.
After a day of internal discussions, Madsic gave a new framework agreement. The text of this agreement outlines the scope and specific matters of cooperation with'Shengguang', as well as specific amounts.
Sure enough, as Ma Qianshan expected, this is a contract for at least fifteen years, and the contract amount is not fixed, but it retains the room for upswing in the market. But a rough estimate will not be less than 5 billion U.S. dollars, or even exceed it.
Logically, the'Holy Light' can ask for another adjournment and take good care of the text of the framework agreement. However, Zhou Qingfeng only flipped through the text, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Ma Qianshan took the time to quickly glance at it, and the text listed more than a dozen major items and more than a hundred small items. The initial start-up capital will not be less than 100 million U.S. dollars.
But Uncle Zhou agreed, and agreed entirely. He told Bogurayev on the spot, "I hope that the two sides will immediately establish a cooperation and coordination working group to complete the framework agreement to an executable state within three months.
I also hope that the agreement can be implemented in three months, so that our personnel can communicate and cooperate smoothly. As for funding, I would like to ask Madassic to have no worries. This is not a problem at all. "
What is the president? It is the president who can approve a multi-billion dollar project on the spot without losing money.
Negotiations for contracts worth billions of dollars in three months have been fast. This shows Zhou Qingfeng's attitude and determination to forcefully promote this cooperation.
In the past, Ma Qianshan was in the ministries and commissions to discuss cooperation agreements of this scale. Just a framework agreement would not be finished in half a year. You have to find all kinds of big guys for instructions, so you can make a fat man into a thin man.
Zhou Qingfeng's complete non-bargaining package made Madassic extremely excited. They had already paid a premium of 50% and were ready to be bargained by the'Holy Light', but they did not expect the other party to agree very happily.
It was so happy that people couldn't believe it.
If it is implemented, it will be an extremely lucrative cooperation agreement. Bogurayev was very old, and felt that he had found a partner who would allow Madassic to eat and drink for the next ten to twenty years.
Both parties in the negotiation were so excited.
Ma Qianshan was left behind and became the Chinese team leader of the "Holy Light-Madasic Cooperation and Coordination Working Group". The dozen or so people visiting group who originally came to make soy sauce immediately became members of the working group.
That night, the Madasic party took the initiative to hold a celebration dinner, inviting Zhou Qingfeng and others to participate, and announced to the world that negotiations on details of cooperation would start immediately.
Even the Western media have widely reported the amount and significance of this cooperation-the'Power Tsar' will join forces with the'God of Management' from the East to develop the aviation power industry.
A year ago, hk's "Harmony Weekly" boasted that his boss was the "god of business", and his face was red and he had to be thick-skinned to survive.
But now "Harmony Weekly" doesn't need to make drafts anymore. His own boss is already the "God of Management" in his name.
Not only "Harmony Weekly" is blowing, the domestic official media is also blowing, "a leader who creates a new situation in the era."
Foreign countries are also talking about Zhou Qingfeng as the "tiger of the empire that shocked the world" in "The Asahi Shimbun", and the BBC even called Zhou Qingfeng as the "subversive red capitalist".
Only Ma Qianshan asked with a bitter face, "Zhou, three months will pass soon. Where did you get the start-up capital of hundreds of millions of dollars?"
"Don't worry, little scene. The fat sheep is already in place. I'll go slaughter right away."
