Liu Shengnan came to him, not just to chat, but because he wanted to talk with a minister of Nigeria in the afternoon, he needed to simply unify his thinking.
After they talked for about ten minutes, she gave the time to long Jianhua and his graduate students.
After she left, long Jianhua continued to communicate with the graduate students. For lunch, he asked them to call back from the canteen and eat with them in the office... Quan was their guest as his mentor.
At 3 p.m., long Jianhua and Liu Shengnan came to the small square in front of the office building to welcome the visiting Nigerian minister Hawthorne.
Three bulletproof vehicles drove into the square. Long Jianhua walked slowly forward for two steps and came to a place not far from the motorcade to stop.
The driver got off quickly. Hawthorne got off from the second car. Long Jianhua walked towards him without hurry and slowly, smiled and said, "welcome minister Hawthorne to Chongshi group."
After being introduced by a translator, he strode to long Jianhua, "Mr. long, I''ve heard a lot about you."
Look at the way he talks, he doesn''t look like a soldier at all.
Returning to the small meeting room to sit down, long Jianhua said with a smile, "thank minister Hawthorne very much for taking care of our business. We warmly welcome the minister and his party to visit Chongshi group in person. I won''t say much about the introduction. Please see the promotional film of our group. "
Although Nigeria is still in the state of military government, we can not underestimate the fact that Africa is the second largest country; In the past few years, the sales volume of Chongshi products there accounted for 40% of the sales volume in Africa, which is not a big market.
Therefore, even if only one minister of industry comes, long Jianhua will personally receive him.
Not for power, just for money... Make more money.
After watching the promotional film, Hawthorne nodded, "I knew about Chongshi group before I came here. Unexpectedly, after watching this film, I was even more surprised. With such strength, it is not unreasonable that your passenger car, freight car and walkie talkie system occupy the first place in China. "
Long Jianhua said with a smile, "that''s the love of Mr. Minister and Nigerian friends for our Chongshi group products."
After a compliment without oil and salt, Hawthorne glanced around and looked at long Jianhua. "Mr. long, I heard that Chongshi group has jointly established a petrochemical processing project in sandy land. I don''t know if you intend to go to our country to do one."
Then he waved his hand, "China is the second largest country in Africa, with a large population and a broad market, which should be the focus of entrepreneurs with excellent foresight."
Long Jianhua was a little stunned and immediately cleaned up his expression.
When he learned that he was coming to Chongshi group, he didn''t explain his intention to visit, but said he wanted to come here to see what the enterprise with many products occupying the first market share in Nigeria was like.
To tell the truth, he doesn''t want to invest there because the current situation is too chaotic. It''s not enough for you to sing and I''ll take the stage.
So when listening to his suggestion, he was a little caught off guard.
Long Jianhua hesitated, "Mr. Minister, we have no plan to set up a production base in Africa at present. To run an enterprise, according to Huaxia''s words, it needs the right time, place and people. "
"We are expanding too fast, and the supply of skilled employees is not available at present, especially in petrochemical processing. The first plant has just been put into operation and has little experience."
"For the market, we have three petrochemical plants put into operation successively, which is already on the edge of oversupply and the price will fall; So even if you invest there at present, there will be no profit. "
"For enterprises, investment is for profit; Of course, I also want to invest there to increase taxes and employment in your country and drive one economy. "
This made it clear that he didn''t want to go.
Seeing him say this, Hawthorne stopped for half a minute and continued, "Mr. long, I know your concern, but you should see that our situation is still very stable in Africa, and we also have the ability to ensure the stability of the domestic situation."
Then he said slowly, "however, we are not limited to petrochemical, but also in many aspects. It was also said in the promotional film that you have mining companies and can invest in mining. "
He said so. Long Jianhua could only laugh. "Mr. Minister, because we expanded too fast, we haven''t had time to take into account Africa. We all know that Africa is a huge and rich market with great potential; With all due respect, I don''t know much about Africa, nor do I know much about your country. If you don''t mind, I''d like you to introduce your country. "
His words were somewhat direct and violated the taboo of business negotiation.
Even if you don''t know the other party, you need to know something before you know that the other party has a minister. This is the basic common sense of business negotiation.
Liu Shengnan added, "President long only knows that you are going to visit our group, and the tour routes have been determined. Everyone, including me, didn''t expect you to give us such a surprise. "
Her words rounded up long Jianhua''s mistake and made the other party feel impolite, because he only wanted to see it.
Sure enough, Hawthorne touched the shining forehead and smiled awkwardly, "I''m sorry, I''m also acting temporarily. The main reason is that your company is strong, so I can''t wait. "
Long Jianhua laughed, "I often do such things. However, this proposal is really good and opens up a new direction for me. We Chongshi group have been wandering around in developed countries. It''s time to consider going out of this circle. "
Hawthorne heard this and said with a smile, "that feeling is good. I''ll briefly introduce the situation of our country."
Long Jianhua waved his hand, "you have just briefly introduced it, and I agree very much."
Seeing his confused eyes, he smiled, "you just said that your country has the ability to ensure domestic stability and welcomes us to invest in petrochemical and mining. That''s enough. We''ll send someone to investigate the specific situation. "
He said this because he suddenly remembered that the situation in Nigeria is really the most stable in Africa. Since it is the most stable, you can invest.
But in response, he didn''t say anything, just hung him.
Who knows when to go?
Perhaps Hawthorne really wanted Chongshi group to invest, and immediately talked about a lot of preferential conditions, such as participating in oil exploration and drilling, investing in any minerals, and the government sent troops to protect the enterprise
Long Jianhua will not be confused by his empty words. He proposes that Chongshi group will not be a joint venture if it can be wholly-owned, with military protection, and allow Chongshi group''s security company to enter... Of course, these are outline, and the details need to be discussed in detail.
He said that long Jianhua could be the master of Chongshi group, but Hawthorne could not be the master of Nigeria.
