NOVEL NEXT Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic
Chapter 248 Since we are already friends, let me give you some inside information.
Fortunately, Minister Zhang, who has been an official for many years, manages his expression very well.
Even though he was roaring crazily in his heart, his face didn't look strange at all.
He responded with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Dawson, welcome to Chongguo. I am Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Commerce, and I am the person in charge of this cooperation."
"Yeah." Jack nodded.
He doesn't like to talk nonsense.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go talk about business."
When Minister Zhang heard this, he hesitated to speak.
Talk about business?
Why do I feel like you're not here to discuss business at all?
Not even reliable.
When I was in my teens, I invested billions of dollars.
This is half or more of the country’s foreign exchange reserves.
Who can believe this?
This little brat even brought a girlfriend!
Wow, is that too much? !
Minister Zhang was completely dumbfounded as he watched Jack holding Hermione's little hand and swaying all the way.
Looking at Wang Fang subconsciously.
Before Jack arrived, it was Wang Fang, the vice president of the Xinghai Group, who was in contact with the government.
Is this really the boss of your group?
Minister Zhang asked Wang Fang with his eyes.
Wang Fang understood.
She was helpless.
Although all this seems outrageous, Jack is really the sole boss of Xinghai Group.
As for the boss talking about big business but bringing his girlfriend with him?
Ok……
Are all foreigners like this?
She could only return this look.
Minister Zhang was silent.
Suddenly, he was a little unsure about the so-called investment.
Are you really here to invest, not just fool around?
A group of people came to the living room with different thoughts.
In order to handle this meeting, Minister Zhang put a lot of thought into it.
Such as very high-standard banquets, some performances with very high cultural connotations, etc.
Jack accompanied Hermione and happily enjoyed this appetizer-like thing.
Don't say it yet.
What you eat at a high-end banquet is completely different from what you eat at a restaurant.
A young man like Hermione Neville, who came from a food desert country, was captured by the delicious food of Chongguo in an instant.
Not to mention those performances that can dazzle people.
It's really eye-opening.
Finally, after all these 'appetizers' were eaten, it was time to get down to business.
In fact, there is nothing serious to talk about.
Yeah, there's nothing to talk about.
This is not nonsense literature, but because, for such a large-scale investment, the two parties have already discussed it repeatedly beforehand.
For example, if you spend money to buy land, are there any discounts and how much can you buy?
Are there any subsidies in terms of policy?
How much is the electricity generated by the power plant being built, and are there any tax incentives?
During the construction process, can engineers from Chongguo be stationed to observe on-site?
If one day the power plant stops operating, will Chongguo have the highest priority to purchase it?
After everything was settled, it was Jack and Minister Zhang's turn to appear.
Now that it's time, of course they can chat and decide things at the same time.
Ten years of tax exemption, OK.
Encircling 12 hectares of wasteland in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, is OK.
Engineer Chongguo observed on site, no problem.
……
One by one, go over the things that have been discussed by the subordinates before.
After everything is decided, take out the sample contract and look at it.
Let your subordinates check the details again.
When everything is clear, I sign.
In fact, when it comes to this stage, reporters should be present, and there should even be a live broadcast on a TV station.
But well...
Jack had mentioned before that he didn't want to be filmed by the TV station, and the most he wanted was to take photos as a souvenir.
It's not even the best to be published in newspapers.
This sneaky behavior is really suspicious.
But what can best dispel doubts is sincerity and real money.
After the signature was completed, in less than 10 minutes, the first batch of funds was deposited into the cooperation account designated by Chongguo.
That’s a full $20 billion!
Real money!
Not a lot!
The money is all in place, are you still afraid that Jack and Xinghai Group are liars?
If you are really a liar, please give me more, I don’t mind.
With the funds in place and all his doubts gone, Minister Zhang looked at Jack and saw that he was very pleasing to the eye.
Oops, it is indeed a big capital from an old industrial country.
Do things with boldness and directness.
Taking your girlfriend to talk business?
That's just proof that people are willing to talk to you and don't treat you as an outsider.
Normal normal.
Used to it.
Jack's side.
Hermione looked at Jack in surprise.
From getting off the bus, to eating, watching performances, talking about business, and signing autographs.She watched the whole process.
I have to say, it was really eye-opening.
Jack's courage to make decisions in just a few words is intoxicating.
Jack paid no attention to Hermione's surprise.
These are all predetermined procedures, but they are just a one-step process, not a big deal.
After signing the contract, he chatted with Minister Zhang for a few words, and then said: "Now that the contract has been signed, we will start construction immediately. I hope you will be prepared."
"Yes Yes."
"I think you have already received the news. When I came here this time, I brought a large number of skilled workers and senior engineers. I hope you can help coordinate."
In this era, it is quite troublesome for foreigners to enter Chongguo.
Unless it's smuggling.
"Don't worry, these won't be troubles."
"In addition to power plants, our Xinghai Group also plans to build automobile factories and many supporting workshops in the aviation field in your country."
Minister Zhang:! ! ! ! ! !
And such a good thing? !
Never heard of it before? !
Looking at Wang Fang subconsciously.
The apparent vice president of Xinghai Group looked confused.
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
car factory?
I haven't heard of it.
Not to mention things in the aviation field.
Hey, does this really not matter?
Aren't you a capitalist who is obsessed with the canning industry?
Why did you suddenly get involved in cars and aviation?
Is your personality wrong? !
"I heard that your country's cooperation in the aerospace field is very tight in terms of policy." Jack said slowly, regardless of the shock of others, "I personally hope to be more relaxed and allow people like us to Capital also has the opportunity to participate.”
"Ah...this...isn't..."
Minister Zhang, Aba Aba, didn’t know how to respond for a while.
Honestly.
He could barely make up his mind about building a power plant.
After all, it is something beneficial to people's livelihood and industrial development.
For example, it is no problem for a car factory.
He can even make the decision directly.
After all, China has been coveting advanced foreign technology for a long time.
If a car factory can be established in the country, it will definitely be welcomed with applause.
but……
Aerospace field?
That's really too sensitive.
It's not someone of his level who can make decisions.
"Minister Zhang, you can go back and have a meeting first to discuss it carefully."
Jack, who was well aware of how Chongguo operated, had no intention of urging him.
"By the way, since we are already friends, let me give you some inside information."
Jack lowered his voice and leaned close to Minister Zhang's ear.
Minister Zhang pricked up his ears when he heard this.
“The United States is taking the lead in building the International Space Station, and 16 countries are expected to participate.
This news should be announced next year.
After the space station is completed, all participating countries can conduct scientific experiments on the space station and conduct research on space exploration and utilization.
but……
Chongguo will be excluded, and excluded forever. "
After hearing this, Minister Zhang’s eyes widened.
at the same time.
My heart keeps sinking.
Like falling into an ice cellar.
Even though he was roaring crazily in his heart, his face didn't look strange at all.
He responded with a smile on his face.
