The negotiations for this cooperation were fast. After all, both parties had worked together before and were familiar with each other. Both parties had the intention to cooperate, but there were some differences on the conditions.
Li Mingde was also being urged by the City Government. The City Government wants to get this deal done before the Lunar New Year. Giving gifts during the Lunar New Year was a common tactic. The City Government had even contacted CCTV to request for the contract to be signed in Bing City. The City Government had contacted CCTV, and this news will be aired on CCTV!
Kirilenko also wants to get the contract signed as soon as possible. The earlier they sign the contract, the earlier they can start their own production and generate profits. After all, the production lines still need to be tested.
Both parties wanted to sign the contract quickly, and the negotiations went smoothly.
Bing City Machinery Company will invest in Oriental Deer's technologies and authorize Polar Bear Motors to use Oriental Deer's brand and logo. The second is Songjiang – Olympic. But when it is sold in Russia, it will be renamed to Hua Xia's Star. But the logo will still be Songjiang – Olympic's Snowflake logo.
As for the other models, Polar Bear Motors does not want them yet. But there is a condition in the contract. When Polar Bear Motors wants the authorization for a certain model, Bing City Machinery Company must pay for the authorization. Polar Bear Motors cannot reject the authorization.
Other than these two models, Kirilenko is not interested in the rest of the models. Unless Bing City Machinery Company comes up with a better model, Kirilenko will only consider importing them. Kirilenko is not stupid. He wants to learn all these technologies and develop it himself.
Polar Bear Automobile Company's market value is estimated to be around 300 million USD. Most of their cars are using new production equipment and are very efficient. They have four production lines, and their annual production is more than 30,000 vehicles. Kirilenko is ambitious. If he can sell all these cars, he will be the biggest automobile manufacturer in the former Soviet Union. Currently, none of the automobile manufacturers in the former Soviet Union's countries produce more than 100,000 units!
Bing City Machinery Company's two brands and technologies are valued at 160 million USD, and Bing City Machinery Company had invested almost 140 million USD. They own 49% of the shares.
Actually, Polar Bear Automobile wanted Bing City Machinery Company's Songjiang Glory high-end custom-made car technologies more. They even valued this technology at 400 million USD and promised to compensate Bing City Machinery Company. But Li Mingde did not agree.
Last year, Bing City Machinery Company's automobile technologies were the most advanced. Which company will sell their best technologies?
The conditions of paid authorization were also mainly discussed around this, and the final result could be considered to be satisfactory for everyone.
… …
"Today, Bing City Machinery Company and Polar Bear Motors will be signing the cooperation agreement. I represent … …" Zhang Ruiqiang stood on the stage.
Li Mingde, who was at the side, had a ruddy face. He looked ten years younger, and his mouth was wide open. His jaw is agape as he stares at the other automobile manufacturers' bosses!
This time, he had reported to the Ministry of Industry to invite the higher-ups to attend the ceremony. He also asked the higher-ups to send an invitation to the rest of the manufacturers. After all, they are all from the same company.
Li Mingde even called SAIC Motor Company personally. Although he is humble, but every word he said is a stab in the other party's heart!
At first, Manager Niu heard from Li Mingde that Songjiang Motors' exports had dropped sharply this year, and Manager Niu was gloating. What do you think? Your cars must be of poor quality and are no longer popular.
Songde Song. Song, Songde Songde Song. "You all. Songde Song, Song. Bing City Machinery Company's export profits must be fake. Now, you all have shown your true colors. "
Zhang Ruiqiang pretended to comfort Li Mingde. Don't be discouraged. Not exporting will only lower your profits, and you all can manufacture more motorcycles.
Li Mingde immediately said in astonishment, "When did I say that our car's profits would decrease? Although we are not exporting to Eastern Europe, it is because we have set up a joint venture factory in Moscow. It is a large joint venture factory, and we are using the most advanced machines. "
Manager Niu is stunned. Bing City Machinery Company had set up a factory overseas?
Li Mingde continued to tell Manager Niu that the investment for this joint venture factory is not high. They had only invested slightly more than 1 billion RMB, and we are using our technologies to invest.
Manager Niu is even more confused. Using our technologies to invest? Bing City Machinery Company is using its technologies to invest in a Russian automobile company? That is Russia. Russia had inherited most of the former Soviet Union's assets and is one of the world's top industrial countries. How can Bing City Machinery Company use its technologies to invest?
Many people do not know that Russia's automobile industry had not improved for many years. Their trucks are still doing well, but their passenger cars are lagging behind the rest of the world.
After that, Li Mingde invited Manager Niu to attend the ceremony and told him that many leaders and other automobile manufacturers will be attending. He even asked Manager Niu to come one day earlier to let him visit Bing City Machinery Company's R&D center.
Manager Niu did not want to attend the ceremony, but the higher-ups had informed him that all the automobile manufacturers' bosses must attend the ceremony to learn from Bing City Machinery Company.
Manager Niu gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Mingde's proud look on the stage!
Both parties signed the agreement, and Li Mingde asked his men to plant two flags on the table. He made it look like the two countries had signed the agreement. He had elevated this cooperation to the highest level!
The higher-ups did not object, as Bing City Machinery Company had brought glory to China. Hua Xia was already the first company to export automobiles. Now, they are the first company to export their technologies. This is even more glorious. As the leaders, they should also share in the glory!
Li Mingde had mentioned in his speech that he is thankful to the Provincial and Provincial Leaders for their guidance and care. All of them should have a share in this.
If Li Mingde had not retired, Li Mingde would have been worthy of being promoted. The more cadres like him, the better.
President Niu found that Li Mingde's expression after signing the photo seemed to be mocking him with every strand of hair. Li Mingde always glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him even more depressed!
"Eh, Old Niu, don't go. Come over and take a picture with us. Come, stand at the side! "
During the previous meeting, Manager Niu was the one standing beside the leaders. But this time, he was arranged to stand at the side!
But he really couldn't say anything. Not to mention the leaders of the ministries and commissions, just the provincial and municipal leaders alone were so many, and there were a few who were of a higher rank than him. There were a lot of people who were of the same rank as him, and Li Mingde was the host.
This is revenge. Li Mingde did not arrange Li Mingde to stand in the middle during the previous meeting, and this time, he is arranged to stand at the corner.
"Old Niu, what are you thinking? Hurry up and let the leaders wait for you." Li Mingde purposely shouted.
Manager Niu cursed in his heart. The leaders are not even standing properly, and you are making it sound like I am asking the leaders to wait for me?!
"I'm coming." Manager Niu ran over and stood at the spot arranged by Li Mingde.
When taking photos, when the photographer asked everyone to laugh, President Niu showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and Li Mingde smiled like a flower.
Feng Yu stood at the side. A few people called Feng Yu's name, but Feng Yu waved his hand. He does not like to be in the limelight.
At the end, when Bing City Machinery Company's leaders took a group photo, Feng Yu joined them and stood in the middle. The other automobile manufacturers' bosses looked at Feng Yu curiously. Who is this person? How come his status is higher than Li Mingde? His status is higher than that Hong Kong boss?
After a while, Feng Yu went to speak to CCTV's reporters. Zhang Ruiqiang was frustrated. I am the one who invited Feng Yu, and how come he is so close to Feng Yu?
Everyone in CCTV who does not know Feng Yu must be a newcomer. Everyone in CCTV knows General Manager Feng is close to their Station Chief!
General Manager Feng Feng's company contributes most of CCTV's advertising revenue every year, and Feng Yu had given them a few red packets.
"Don't go. Let's have lunch at our company's cafeteria later. Old Niu, you are at table 4."
Manager Niu is numb. When is he not at table 1 when all the automobile manufacturers' bosses are having lunch? This time, he is arranged to be at table 4, and he even shouted at Li Mingde.
Li Mingde, that's enough. Please stop talking to me!
