reborn industrial empire

"Let's go and chat in my study."

Putin's words are concise, but full of momentum, and he does not allow others to have the opportunity to refute. Just like his personality, he looks ordinary, but he is extremely domineering.[]

But after thinking about it, this is their home court, and what is their identity? What is my identity? So Jin Xiaoqiang felt relieved.

This palace-like house seemed a bit deserted. Apart from some bodyguards and a few simple-looking maids, there were no other people. It seemed that Putin's family did not live here.

The group of people went upstairs and came to a huge study room. The entire study room was decorated in an antique style, with a typical European study room design, oak floors, and bookshelves extending from the floor to the roof. The bookshelves were filled with thick books.

Tome.

In front of the bookshelf is the same huge writing desk and executive chair. On the left side is an antique shelf filled with some rare gadgets.

Opposite is a large fireplace, with a huge stuffed reindeer head hung above the fireplace. To the right is a large floor-to-ceiling window.

The temperature in Moscow in May is not very high, usually only a dozen degrees above zero, and it can even reach zero degrees at night, so there is a fire burning in the fireplace in the study, and the room is as warm as spring.

Several people walked to the window seat, where there were several sofa chairs. Putin and Aldekar each found a seat to sit down, and Jin Xiaoqiang also sat down.

Putin made a gesture, and then someone outside brought a set of silver coffee pots, sugar boxes and milk cups. Everyone mixed a cup of coffee according to their own taste.

Jin Xiaoqiang rarely drank coffee before, so his research on coffee was not very deep. However, today's cup of coffee really made him feel the charm of coffee. It felt bitter after taking a sip, but after a while, he felt chun.

With a fragrant aroma and a long aftertaste, the coffee that comes from the presidential residence must be extraordinary.

"Mr. Jin, are you only a year old this year?"

Putin's first words surprised Jin Xiaoqiang.

"Yes! Today's rate is exactly 24."

"Haha, you are indeed young and promising. When I was your age, I was just a kid.

Where are the staff!”

Putin laughed as he spoke. At this time, he seemed a bit friendly, unlike when they first met, who was as cold as a stone.

"Haha, that's different. When I reach your age, I will be nothing more than a car designer at best."

Jin Xiaoqiang replied with a smile, but also gave him a gentle flattery. The meaning was very clear. A man of great talent and sagacity like you does not appear once in a thousand years. Even though I have achieved certain achievements now, but

When I reach your age, I cannot achieve your level of achievement.

Who is Putin? He immediately understood a flatterer like Jin Xiaoqiang. As the saying goes, even if he is the president of a country, he can get a young man with ability and status like Jin Xiaoqiang.

When someone flatters you, he will certainly feel very happy and satisfied in his heart.

"Haha, you are so polite. I have seen the car you designed. It looks really beautiful. The one I bought in Russia is also very good. I also test-drove the car you designed? It's really good. To be honest, I feel

It’s comparable to BMW and Mercedes-Benz.”

At this time, Putin was talking and laughing, which gave Jin Xiaoqiang a little misconception. This guy looked less like an iron-blooded president and more like an uncle next door.

"Oh? Really? That's really an honor for me. I don't know which one you have tried to drive and how it feels. If we can get feedback from customers like you, it is really a blessing for us.

What a blessing!"

Jin Xiaoqiang said half-jokingly and at the same time sent a few flattery over his shoulder.

"Haha, what I test drove was the high-end luxury executive version of your Qoros series Qoros 8. Which car is the si car that my bodyguard Yuri bought for his wife? I tried driving it for a while, and the control was fine.

And the acceleration is really great.”

As Putin spoke, he gestured with his hands to hold the steering wheel. At this time, he really looked like an uncle next door. He was not aggressive at all, but more friendly.

In this way, the atmosphere in the study room relaxed. It must be said that Putin, as a successful politician, has this extraordinary language art and is good at adjusting the atmosphere. After such an exchange with him, Jin Xiaoqiang was originally tense.

The nerves relaxed accordingly.

And as a president, his words are very dominant, and the entire conversation process is always under his control.

Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang is also very good at flattering people. During the conversation, he kept patting Putin on his back without leaving any trace, which made Putin feel very comfortable.

The whole meeting was harmonious and enjoyable, and it didn't take long for everyone to get to know each other as if they had become old friends.

But what makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel a little strange is that they never mention Yukos.

There was also no mention of the Baikal consortium’s need for capital injection.

"By the way, Mr. Jin, you came to China. We and China can be said to be old friends. In recent years, the economic and trade between our two countries has developed very rapidly. I see that your Huayang Dynamics is currently in China and around the world.

, it can be said that the development momentum is good, are you interested in coming to Russia to develop the market? "

Putin changed the subject and began to mention professional issues that Jin Xiaoqiang was good at.

"Haha, of course you are interested, we have been doing it! You have also seen that our cars have been sold to Russia now, right?"

Jin Xiaoqiang felt that there was something in the Russian president's words. This guy didn't want him to come to Russia to invest and build a factory, right? However, Putin's words quickly confirmed his suspicion.

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, are you interested in coming to Russia and cooperating with our Russian automobile companies?"

Putin waved his hand and continued, "The little guy opposite is really interesting. He is a naughty boy at such a young age. No wonder he can start such a big automobile company at such an age."

At this time, Putin became even more interested in the young man sitting across from him. He was not very old, but he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing him. He spoke in a reasonable and well-founded manner without panic. This kind of demeanor was really not good.

What ordinary people can have.

It's a pity that he took a business career. If this guy had taken an official career, he might have achieved great success in the future. But if he knew that Jin Xiaoqiang was constantly risking a lot of money on his back.

oAnother one

If you are hot and sweaty, I probably won’t think this way.

It is indeed the case! But Jin Xiaoqiang responded immediately. Since he was invited to come, of course he had to give face.

"Haha, are you interested? Of course we are very interested. In fact, we have been considering this issue. Since Russia has always been an important business partner of our Chinese empire, we have already had plans to enter Russia."

"Oh? Really? That's great. I wonder when you can come to Russia to invest? Don't worry, we will definitely provide convenient investment conditions and the best investment environment for high-quality foreign-funded enterprises like you.

"

President Putin seemed very happy and satisfied with Jin Xiaoqiang's answer.

Indeed, President Putin had his own plan for suddenly mentioning this to Jin Xiaoqiang.

In the era of the former Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was not a powerful automobile country. There were only a few domestic automobile manufacturing companies, and the more famous one was the Volga Automobile Manufacturing Company. This company's most famous product was sold in the former Soviet Union.

Lada, who was once famous in China and China.

Another one is the Gorky Automobile Factory, but the Chinese people call this automobile factory Gasi, because apart from Gasi, the Chinese people seem to have never seen other products produced by this automobile factory. In fact, of course this is not the case.

During the planned economy era of the former Soviet Union, these two automobile factories were once the pride of the former Soviet Union's industry. These two automobile factories provided tens of millions of passenger vehicles for the entire former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact Alliance.

The former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact region were vast and sparsely populated, and transportation in many places was not very convenient, so cars became the best means of transportation.

After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, although these two automobile manufacturing companies did not collapse, they also lived a difficult life.

The situation is similar to that of China. They were both state-owned enterprises in the past. They have been influenced and influenced by the bureaucracy for too long. In addition, the Russian industry has always been stupid and clumsy in its production and R&D style. These two car manufacturers have been unable to produce anything.

Decent automotive products come.

The two car manufacturers have been producing old models like Lada and GAZ for decades, which has long made the Russian people sick to their stomachs.

Therefore, in the years after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, with the crazy influx of foreign capital for gold mining, and the proliferation of all kinds of illegal activities in Russia, a large number of illegal activities were brought, especially from Japan.

The cars are mainly Korean cars.

And because Russia had very low tariffs on imported cars at that time, it greatly encouraged the trend of importing second-hand cars from abroad.

In just five years, the Russian car market has been basically dominated by second-hand cars from Japan, South Korea, and the United States, and the domestic Lada and Gas have been hit hard.

It was even on the verge of discontinuation several times.

The Russian government had to significantly increase tariffs on imported second-hand cars in 1995, which greatly curbed the influx of second-hand cars into the country.

But after the impact of those few years, the Russians' eyesight was opened. From then on, the domestically produced Lada and GAZ models in Russia were no longer as discerning as the Russians.

On the other hand, Japanese and Korean cars are very popular among ordinary Russian people because of their good handling and low fuel consumption. After all, although the oil price in Odos is low, if you can spend less money to maintain a car, you can improve your life in other aspects.

Quality, wouldn't it be better? After all, although Russia has developed very well in the past two years, not everyone is a billionaire.

This has created a situation where almost half of the cars on the streets in Russia are Japanese cars, and many of them are models from more than ten years ago, and are second-hand cars imported back then.

As the president of a country, Putin certainly has a very good understanding of the national economy and people's livelihood. At this time, after hearing that Jin Xiaoqiang said that he was willing to invest in Russia, he winked at Aldekar. Aldekar immediately began to talk non-stop like Jin.

Xiaoqiang introduced.

"Our country's economic growth momentum has been very strong in the past two years. Last year, our country's per capita income level was 3,420 US dollars. This year, it is expected to increase to about 4,500 US dollars. With the improvement of economic level, people are also interested in improving the quality of life.

clear expectations. Currently, according to the survey, I

Eighty percent of young people who have just graduated in China have the desire to buy si cars. According to statistics in recent years, my country's car market is almost growing at a rate of about 10% per year. And According to statistics, the current number of registered Si cars in our country is 24.69 million.

However, more than 60% of them are already facing the problem of scrapping and replacement, so it can be expected that starting from next year, my country's automobile sales will enter an era of rapid development.

..

Adelka is indeed an economic expert and assistant to the president. He talks about many things that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

But Jin Xiaoqiang was already deep in thought at this time. What Adelka said did not deceive him. What he said was true. From next year, not only China's car market will enter the golden stage, but also Russia's. The most important one is

The reason is because many of their models are about to face upgrading issues.

The reason Jin Xiaoqiang knows this is because he experienced these things personally when he worked for a car company in the south in his previous life.

In 2003, independent brand giants such as Ricky and Liji began to enter the Russian market. At the beginning, their purchases were not very good, but starting in 2005, they entered a golden period, and each company

The sales of car companies have increased by 60% or even 100% every year.

Those sales records, even from 2004, the annual sales totaled only 350 vehicles. It grew explosively until it reached a peak in 2004. In that year, all Chinese car companies achieved brilliant results in Russia.

All Chinese cars were sold in Russia in 2017

108,000 cars were sold out, but then it also entered a period of rapid decline. This was due to the financial crisis and the lack of capabilities of our company. All the events at that time seemed to be reflected in Adelka’s narrative.

Jin Xiaoqiang replayed it over and over again in his mind.

"So if Huayang Dynamics enters our Russia, we can provide you with different preferential treatment according to your investment method. SKD is one type, ckd is one type. Of course, if you have a joint venture with our company, then it is another type.

..”

Alka was still talking, but Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting across from him, felt a little bit dumbfounded. He was originally here to talk about oil, but now he seemed to be attending an investment meeting?!
