King of Industry

  Chapter 731 Ready to fight

  After arriving in Sudan, the Huaxia-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Group was warmly welcomed by Huaxia Ambassador to Sudan Mo Jianzhong, Commercial and Economic Counselor Du Dezhi and others.

  During the two-day itinerary in Sudan, under the recommendation of Ambassador Mo Jianzhong, the delegation had friendly talks with Sudanese Minister of Finance and National Economy Ali Mahmoud Mutafi and other dignitaries.

   In addition, the embassy also organized a dinner party and invited well-known local Chinese businessmen to attend.

  However, to Zhao Guoyang's disappointment, there are not many Chinese businessmen in Sudan at the moment, which is much inferior to that in Ethiopia.

   Moreover, most of these Chinese businessmen's industries are textiles and manufacturing, and there is nothing surprising about it.

  There is not even a single company in the energy and mining industries that Zhao Guoyang wants to cooperate with.

  It’s no wonder that the situation in Sudan has been unclear, and the conflict between the government and local indigenous people is very fierce. As for resources such as energy and mining, both sides must be staring at each other and guarding against each other.

  Not to mention foreign companies, even large domestic companies in Sudan are trembling between the two, for fear that if they accidentally stand on the wrong team, they will go bankrupt and lose everything.

   Wanting to understand this, Zhao Guoyang gradually cleared up his doubts.

   After all, things cannot always be so smooth. After getting off to a good start in Ethiopia, it was already a good start, and Sudan did not force it.

   It should be said that during the two days in Sudan, although there was no progress in negotiations on energy and mining resources that he wanted most, Zhao Guoyang did not get nothing.

  He and Zhang Yufang reached a cooperation agreement on "police motorcycles" with the Sudanese government department.

According to this cooperation agreement, Zhao Guoyang and "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" will provide at least 400 "curved beam vehicles" and 200 vehicles to the Sudanese government every quarter for the next two years. "Straddle motorcycle".

  Of course, in terms of brands, the Sudanese government is also very restrictive - only the "Yamaha" brand.

  After Zhao Guoyang got the cooperation agreement, he immediately communicated with the "Siyang Group" and got their guarantee of priority supply.

   In this way, Zhao Guoyang no longer has any worries.

  600 motorcycles a quarter, and at least 4,000 motorcycles in two years, although Zhao Guoyang made some price concessions to his African brothers.

   But there is still a certain amount of profit margins, plus the discounts given by the "Siyang Group", almost every motorcycle can bring nearly 200 US dollars in profit to "Xingtai International".

   Calculated in this way, you can easily earn seven to eight hundred thousand dollars in two years.

  The most important thing is that when you trade with the Sudanese government, you can get cash directly without pressing the goods.

  Because of this good news, Zhao Guoyang had a rare smile on his face when he boarded the plane and was about to leave.

  As for Zhang Yufang who was sitting next to him, she was already as happy as a flower.

During the final preparations for the plane to take off, Teacher Zhang couldn't help staring at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Mr. Back and forth, let the Sudanese government believe you..."

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders, and said with a relaxed expression: "This is normal. I rode a motorcycle back and forth on the nearby grassland, and it only took more than an hour. When I came back, the car There is no problem at all, doesn't that explain the problem?"

   "Uh, that's true!"

  Zhang Yufang froze for a moment, then nodded and said yes: "Speaking of which, I didn't know Mr. Zhao is so smooth when you drive a motorcycle! When I saw you test drive before, I was sweating a lot!"

  Listening to Mr. Zhang's concerned words, Zhao Guoyang waved his hands indifferently and said, "If you can't drive a car in this business, then it's not justified."

  Zhang Yufang gave a "hmm" and said in a low voice: "It seems that after I go back, I also have to buy a motorcycle and study hard. In case there is no one to test the bike when I go out to sell in the future, I can still hold on!"

   Zhao Guoyang was overjoyed when he heard the words. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, you should stop learning this motorcycle. Knowing how to drive a car is enough."

Looking at Zhang Yufang's puzzled look, Zhao Guoyang explained: "Although we 'Xingtai International' still pay more attention to the sales of motorcycles at present, with the development of the world economy, cars will definitely surpass motorcycles and become the big car. A means of transportation for people in some countries."

"So in the motorcycle market, it is enough for us to do a good job in the current ones. It is not necessary to develop more business, and there will not be too much profit. Let's not do the thankless things. !"

  After Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Zhang Yufang nodded in relief.

Thinking of the next country to fly to, Zhang Yufang asked thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhao, do you have a plan for the development direction of our 'Xingtai International' in the next stage? It is construction machinery and automobiles. aspect?"

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm", nodded and said: "Well, these two are the big ones. In addition, the car project must also be the focus."

   "As for the 'all-terrain vehicle', a vehicle with strong applicability and entertainment, although the price is not high, the profit is very rich. We can't ignore it, and we still need to invest a certain amount of energy..."

  When Zhao Guoyang explained, Zhang Yufang listened carefully, and silently wrote down all these in her heart.

  Having known Mr. Zhao for so long, Zhang Yufang has habitually regarded him as the "backbone", and feels that as long as Zhao Guoyang is around, all problems can be easily solved.

   Teacher Zhang's blind confidence in himself, Zhao Guoyang didn't know.

  After chatting with this right-hand man for a while, he yawned and said, "Mr. Zhang, the plane is about to take off, so hurry up and get some sleep."

   "The journey from Sudan to Cameroon is not short, and the body will not be able to bear it if you don't sleep for a while."

   "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I understand!" Zhang Yufang nodded gratefully and agreed.

  After the consultation of the three heads of the trade and investment promotion team, everyone decided on the itinerary for the next few countries, namely Sudan-Cameroon-Nigeria-Zaire-South Africa.

  Depart from Sudan to Cameroon, and arrive at about two or three in the morning.

  After a half-day delay in Cameroon, I rushed to Nigeria, which is close at hand, on the same day.

  Because Cameroon and Nigeria are very close to each other and have similar economic types, the delegation chose to take a short walk in Cameroon, and then went straight to Nigeria.

  In Nigeria, because they want to participate in the "West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition", the planned stay of the delegation is the longest, reaching three days.

  After that, Zaire is also one of the big countries in Africa. The delegation's initial visit time is also positioned between two and three days.

Although Zaire's GDP ranks low among African countries because of its backward economy, its rich natural resources are even higher than that of Sudan. It is known as "the world's raw material warehouse", "China Non-precious stones" and "geological wonders".

  Across the country, there are a variety of non-ferrous metals, rare metals and non-metallic ores, among which copper, cobalt, zinc, manganese, tin, tantalum, germanium, tungsten, cadmium, nickel, chromium and other metals and industrial diamond reserves are considerable.

  After Sudan "returned in defeat", Zhao Guoyang's expansion of mining business in Africa has great hopes placed on Zaire.

  As for South Africa, the last country visited by the delegation, Zhao Guoyang didn't think much about it.

  Because he has already done a detailed understanding of the situation in South Africa before, there is no need to "catch Buddha's feet" at all.

   Moreover, given the degree of economic development in South Africa, as long as you have money, you will definitely be able to negotiate business.

  When staying in Sudan, Zhao Guoyang once had a phone call with Suzanne to confirm the current working capital of the "Sunmoonstar Trading Company" at most.

   There is no doubt that Zhao Guoyang is going to do a big job in the following itinerary.

  He asked Suzanne about the funds, just to use the money to directly smash some undeveloped mineral deposits in Zaire and South Africa.

   Leaning on the chair and thinking about the 10 million dollars of "splurge" that Suzanne promised to himself, Zhao Guoyang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

   If you want to say 10 million US dollars, in China in the early 1990s, that is definitely an astronomical figure.

  Even for ordinary large state-owned enterprises, it is rare for the total assets to exceed this figure.

   It is indeed not easy for "Sunmoonstar Trading Company" to raise so much money.

In fact, after Zhao Guoyang took a stake and became the largest shareholder of "Sunmoonstar Trading Company", his several correct decisions made this originally quite satisfactory trading company become the largest trading company in Sao Paulo, Samba. Such companies make a lot of money.

  If it weren't for the fact that Suzanne recently won two iron mines in Rio de Janeiro, the company's funds would have doubled.

  After hearing that Zhao Guoyang had found several more mines in Africa, the young lady vowed to promise Zhao Guoyang that the problem of funds would be easily resolved.

  As long as Zhao Guoyang can wait a few more days, she can make up at least 10 million US dollars within three days.

  The reason why this young lady dared to say such a thing was because she had confidence.

  In fact, "Sunmoonstar" has now become a popular figure in the business and political circles of the state of São Paulo because of the promising future of the company.

  Many well-known figures in Sao Paulo State have consulted Susanna, asking her if they can invest in shares.

  After receiving Zhao Guoyang's call, Suzanne brought this matter up to him.

   In this regard, Zhao Guoyang has only one opinion: the company absolutely welcomes local rich people who want to invest in shares, but their money must come from a clean source.

  The reason is simple, Suzanne's father still has two years left in office.

  If the boss resigns from the post of governor, it is hard to say whether the "Sunmoonstar Trading Company" can maintain the current momentum.

  In case someone is red-eyed and finds faults in the company's equity capital, it will be more harm than good.

  Susanna naturally accepted Zhao Guoyang's reminder completely.

  The two finally decided that during Zhao Guoyang's stay in Africa, he would keep in touch with Suzanne to facilitate decision-making.
