The people on both sides began to quiet down when they heard Li Cong's words. Everyone was from China and knew that it was necessary to have a good relationship with the government when doing business in China. For example, once many enterprises obtained the support of the government, everything would be green light. If the government did not support them, they would not be able to withstand the daily inspection of the industrial and commercial tax. Liu Yan and Wang Ping both had a deep background in the government. Otherwise, it would not make sense for them to hold important positions at such a young age, although the current 15% share was not a lot. However, both of them understood that the potential here was huge. Not to mention 15%, even 1% would cost hundreds of millions in the future.
Li Cong did not rush him. He was waiting for his real partner. Whoever could help him deal with Zheng would be his first partner. After all, he did not have any official background. Zheng would not care about anything now. Once his private enterprise grew up, Zheng would take action immediately. However, Li Cong did not want national capital to enter. Although it would be easy to develop, it was somewhat incompatible with Li Cong's goal of being the world's number one person. It was only a matter of time for Li Congxiang to develop. Although the country was strong now, he was not necessarily afraid. It was hard to say who would be strong and who would be weak in the future.
"I wonder what CEO Li means by avoiding Zheng Hao?”President Liu had already taken the initiative just now. He could not fall behind now. It was better to confirm Li Cong's thoughts earlier and solve it earlier.
"Hehe, President Liu, if the government gives me the green light when I want to develop, of course, I won't miss a single cent of the taxes that should be paid, but those corrupt officials shouldn't think about hitting me. Let's be clear. I'll take this 15% share of the protection fee and hope that my license can be linked to your company. However, I'm an independent company, so I won't have any shares of yours. In this way, those local officials would have to consider whether they had the ability to extort from the oil tycoons.”After Li Cong said this idea, the two beautiful women's faces revealed a look of joy. They all agreed that they could represent the head office to admit this matter. In the future, when Li Cong grew stronger, they would not need anything else. As long as the newspaper published it, their stocks would rise a lot. Such a good thing was simply giving money, and all they needed to do was help him get rid of a few local officials.
Unknowingly, it was already noon. Li Cong announced that the meeting was temporarily suspended. In the newly built canteen in the factory, which was not very spacious, he invited the senior executives of the two major oil groups. Although there were no exotic delicacies, the farm vegetables made these executives who were used to eating sea cucumbers and abalones enjoy themselves. During the meal, Li Cong frequently drank and chatted with the senior executives. After 30 days of drinking and five dishes, it was time to talk about business again. No wonder people said that most things in China were not negotiated at the negotiation table. Instead, it was at the wine table.
The two CEOs were using their own advantages to implement the preferential policies on behalf of their companies. In the end, both parties were basically satisfied. That was because of PetroChina and Li Cong. Other than getting the share of the second plant, PetroChina had basically gained nothing. Li Cong also felt that in terms of balance, he had done something wrong this time. He had relied too much on PetroChina. However, President Liu agreed to send a resident team of about ten people to help Li Cong solve some problems that Li Cong did not want to solve. This was the biggest benefit that Li Cong had gained. He could now focus on the development of the factory. At least, he did not have to manage everything in terms of land expansion and recruitment. The management team of PetroChina was considered first-class in the whole world. As long as he let his sister control the finance, no one would be able to do anything without his own ideas in production. This management team could only help him do things.
After sending off two batches of important guests in the afternoon, Li Cong was about to go back and take a nap. Who knew that another car would come back from the convoy? Li Cong recognized that it was President Wang Ping's car. Did he have to learn from the big shots and make a secret agreement? He didn't know what benefits President Wang would bring him.
"President Li, there were a lot of people just now. Can you accompany me around? I'm also very interested in rural scenery.”President Wang Ping drove back by herself and invited Li Cong to take a look at the beautiful countryside scenery as soon as she got out of the car.
"I'm very happy to, but CEO Wang, I'm afraid you didn't come back to see the scenery, right? I was just about to go to bed. If you have anything to say, just say it. Let's go to the river bank and talk as we walk.”Li Cong pointed at the river bank not far away.
"Hehe, CEO Li is indeed straightforward, but this makes you look very ungentlemanly! Don't tell me President Li thinks that going out with me is not as important as sleeping with you?”Wang Ping said charmingly. Li Cong had just seen Wang Ping, who was a strong woman, but now he saw her in her human form. He couldn't help but be moved. These strong women in the business world had turned into beautiful women. It was really tempting. The sleepiness in Li Cong's mind immediately disappeared.
"Alright, I'm wrong. I'm afraid President Wang didn't come back to argue with me. I might as well tell you that I really don't have any extra chips in my hands. These days, people ask for an equivalent exchange. I don't think I have the ability to get something for nothing.”Li Cong put on an obedient look, as if he was really harmless.
"Hehe, CEO Li, can't we talk about something other than work?”Talk about relationships instead of work? Li Cong didn't think that he was attractive to this level of beauty. It was impossible to fall in love at first sight. He looked at Wang Ping inexplicably.
"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. You're really heartless. I want to know what kind of scale President Li's company will reach in two months.”In fact, Li Cong himself didn't know what would happen. According to Li Cong's plan, the next machine would double the production. If everything went well, there might be ten conversion machines in two months, which would be ten times the current scale. However, everything was risky. If the production couldn't be used, it would be a big deal if he threw millions of money and delayed the contract. At that time, the two presidents would probably not even look at him.
"I'm not too sure about this question either. President Wang, if you have any thoughts, you can just say it. I don't like guessing.”Li Cong decided not to think about it and decided to stop with silence.
"Hehe, I have a suggestion. I know that President Li has ordered a production machine from Zhongyuan Machinery Factory. Don't misunderstand, we have no intention of stealing your technology. Moreover, our engineers have also evaluated that such a machine would not produce the energy oil in your factory. However, we have another direction of cooperation. We have several large machinery factories in Northeast China. Why don't you give me the detailed drawings and information, and we will help you produce it at the cost price? However, we hope to get a reasonable share of the energy produced by the machines we manufacture. Is that okay with you?”Li Cong really didn't expect the information in society to be so advanced. Everything he had was in the hands of others. He didn't expect Wang Ping to make such a suggestion. If it worked, it would be a balance point for both sides.
"Can we call this a secret agreement if we talk behind President Liu's back?”Li Cong's answer was not what he asked.
"So President Li is worried about this. What PetroChina can provide, we can also provide. You know that their focus is still overseas. Compared to us, we have more resources in the political field. You can rest assured that after you fall out, we will take over everything they can provide within a week.”The words had already been said so explicitly. If Li Cong still did not agree, he was afraid that others would say that he was being unreasonable.
"I see. It seems that the competition between you is really fierce. I will send you the information by fax. I am not afraid that you will copy it. The price must be within 4 million, and the quality must be up to standard. The materials used must be the same as those used by the Central Plains Machinery Factory. You are responsible for transporting it here. I can only make half of the production of the machines you produce belong to you.”Li Cong was still a trustworthy person. He did not throw away the agreement with President Liu like waste paper. Although Wang Ping did not get all the shares, she was on equal footing with PetroChina.
"Okay, President Li, this doesn't seem to be a negotiation. We're at a disadvantage. What if we're willing to pay a deposit of 2 billion RMB? I know that President Li has just developed a lot of places where he needs to spend money.”This was undoubtedly another big pie. Li Cong really needed money now. It seemed that he had to give in again.
"If that's the case, then I can increase the share of your production to 65%, which is the same as the 15% share of President Liu and the others? In fact, I might as well make it clear. In a year, both you and PetroChina will have to renegotiate with me. The strength of both parties is too close. It's really not a good choice for me.”Li Cong had indeed given in. Two billion yuan was indeed very attractive. After 24 hours, he would have successfully gone from a billionaire to a billionaire.
"President Li, you really know how to check and balance. Actually, the order given to me by our head office this time is to let me take 50% with all my strength. It's a pity that I didn't complete the task. However, it's a great achievement to be able to get this secret agreement. Your two machines can reach a monthly output of 30,000 tons. It's hard to imagine the output of dozens of machines. At that time, you will become the energy giant in the province. At that time, I'm afraid some foreign enterprises will come to you. Remember to support the state-owned enterprises.”It seemed that he was looking ahead. He knew that he would leave the country after reaching a million tons of production. He was planning ahead.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. President Wang, how about this? You don't have to use the two billion yuan as a deposit. Just treat it as your advance payment. Every time you take away two billion yuan of fuel, you can transfer it to me. It's more convenient for us. Although you don't lack this bit of money, this can also be considered as a signal to your higher-ups that I want to cooperate.”Li Cong also knew how to behave.
The rest of the conversation was very warm. Even when CEO Wang left, he had an inexplicable feeling for this twenty-something-year-old guy. Even if he was unmarried, it didn't mean that he didn't have a chance. Before CEO Wang left, he shook hands with Li Cong and deliberately used his nails to leave a weak " wound " on Li Cong. The Mercedes-Benz sped away, leaving behind a dumbfounded future world number one.
