The claw machine landed at the airport! Later, the old overseas Chinese found out, Fan Danbing called Xun "Qinmeng."

There were at least dozens of people who came to meet at the airport, and after getting off the plane, there were indeed several government officials, such as the head of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, among those who came to meet Fan Wuyi. People contacted in advance because of Fan Wubing, saying that there were important overseas Chinese who had arrived on the same plane, so they rushed over.

Fan Wuyi solemnly introduced the old overseas Chinese to everyone. After that, he arranged for someone to accompany the old man to visit and play everywhere. At the same time, he specially set aside funds to accompany him to his hometown to donate to the school ancestral hall.

As for himself, after receiving the old overseas Chinese, he began to hand over ore samples to domestic experts in narrow-iron mixed ore for appraisal. At the same time, it is necessary to consult related technologies to see if the other party is really possible to separate the ilmenite.

It didn't take long for this information to be implemented. The other party did have this new technology, and it was a technology that no company in the world did. Their source of technology is the chief engineer of the consortium of one of the largest metallurgical companies in Europe and the prospector Xi, one of the world’s top three mining giants. The technical level is still very high, but the only flaw is that the technology has not been applied in practice. However, the research risk involved is very high. It is very likely to become a bottomless pit or to fail in research, and then it will lose everything.

In fact, the other party wants to build this separation plant. Letting Fan Investment Group pay for it is actually transferring risks. If it succeeds, it will be them who make money. If it fails, then it will naturally be Fan Investment Group who has lost everything.

Fan Wubing has also considered that if it is operated in the way of commercial venture capital, it can be gambled, but this requires both parties to know things, instead of letting Fan Investment Group pay the money and only get the iron ore, that The poor one percent return is also an uncertain return with huge risks.

This is because Fan's Investment Group has never lacked cash and foreign exchange, as well as the source of funds. Otherwise, if Fan's Investment Group is a general domestic enterprise, it will definitely be difficult to make direct foreign exchange investment. Once it is used like a letter of credit Investment, the risk is great. If the money is lost, the other party can take the agreement and say that they are really an investment and ask Fan Investment Group to pay back the money. If they do not pay back, it will really become a letter of credit fraud.

So they will let the company make loans as if the company has limited liability, but in fact it is the unlimited liability of the Chinese side, such a high-risk investment in technology research. The investment proposed by the other party is often very conservative. It is normal that the actual cost is several times as much as this is said. For example, there are many fishing projects in some domestic projects. You will be hooked for a small amount first, and subsequent investment will not work. It is almost certainly true. The investment in such a situation cannot be afforded by the capital capacity of ordinary enterprises, not to mention that the business environment in Africa can never hold down the full value.

Another point is that after Fan Wuyao returned to China, the expert team in Africa obtained the intelligence after investigation. They said that mining in Africa, commercial espionage and commercial bribery and compensation are rampant, much more powerful than China. That ten thousand dollars an hour lawyer will also be bought.

Don't look at him charging ten thousand dollars at a time. This is nothing compared to multi-billion-dollar mine transactions, because there is no business reputation here, and the integrity is worse than that of lawyers in China.

The most commonly used method is to find an expert who understands African mining laws and ask legal experts to ask questions. At the same time, find a few more local lawyers in Africa, so that they don’t know each other’s existence, and ask them separately. They have the same problem.

If what they say is the same, then it is credible. If what they say is very different, then the problem is obvious. Some of them must have been bought.

And after the experts explored those minerals. I re-estimated the project this time. If you calculate the benefits of titanium, the value should not be less than tens of billions of dollars.

There is another fact that makes Fan Wubing feel quite worried. Once he returned to China, he began to look for domestic legal resources to support, but he quickly found out. I can’t find an expert who understands African mining law in China. There are also some scholars in Anglo-American law. Such experts cannot be applied in practice, because the purpose of their research is to learn from their advanced legislative ideas to build China’s legal system. , Not a real application.

As a result, their practical ability is very limited. Their on-the-spot reaction and experience are basically equivalent to zero, and their theoretical level is not comparable to that of foreign experts. Basically, they are good at foreign languages, so they can translate the law. Work does not have one's own opinions on legal thoughts.

If you use the analogy of competition here, it means that they are sports theorists rather than athletes. These theorists have problems when they are coaches, not to mention competing on the court. China has no athletes who can compete on the court.

Another issue is also very important, as for all lawyers who "in accordance with the rules of the local lawyer service" to consult with you. "You mention" Chuanying, he must answer you truthfully, if you answer the wrong answer, the lawyer will bear the responsibility, but if you did not ask some of the questions, he is not obliged to remind you.

The biggest problem now. They just don't understand the local laws at all. Fan Wubing can't ask questions by themselves, so what else can they do?

Chinese entrepreneurs have very little knowledge of foreign countries, and domestic China does not have its own experts. How can they not be deceived? And how many years will it take to cultivate such an applicable African expert? And now there is another point, that is, if you don't even know how to train such experts, you can know that China wants to expand its soft power. It's really hard to climb to the sky!

It hasn't been a long time since Fan Wubing.com has just returned. Boss Zhu invited him over to talk about things.

After meeting Boss Zhu, Fan Wuyi told him about his trip to Africa. Then there was a lot of bitterness, which shows how difficult it is for domestic companies to go out and open external resources.

Boss Zhu heard Fan Wu's words, and his heart was a little touched. He said to Fan Wu's, "Our country's foreign exchange reserves have increased dramatically over the years. And resources for rapid economic development are in short supply, and there are calls for investment in overseas resources. .It seems that you can buy everything if you have money, but tell me about your experience this time, and give me the deepest experience that China’s soft power is insufficient, and money alone cannot solve the problem. There is no law of its own. If you don’t have your own team of experts and don’t understand the rules of mining and the market, if you have money, you will be defrauded. Without the backing of national military strength, your personal safety overseas will not be guaranteed, so what? Do business with peace of mind?"

This topic is obviously heavy. Boss Zhu took a break, then continued. "If the country’s enterprises come forward, they will also face some international interference and political problems. Therefore, money cannot solve all the problems. Money is easy to raise but the soft power necessary to make money overseas is not a day’s work. Therefore, China The expansion of China’s national power is far from simple economic growth. It is a long way to go and a gradual process. China’s development of resources overseas is also possible with the growth of national power as a strong backing."

Fan Wubing was deeply impressed by what Boss Zhu said, and his experience this time also showed him. Some things cannot be solved by money alone, and deterrence by force is very useful at all times.

"By the way, you are so anxious to find me over. What are you going to do?" Fan Wubing remembered that Boss Zhu’s secretary was rushing on the phone when he came over this time, so he asked road.

"Well, it's also some trouble." Boss Zhu touched his forehead and said to Fan Wuyao. "Recently, the economic and trade relations between China and Russia have been affected. The situation is not very good."

"Oh?" Fan Wubing was taken aback.

Since the establishment of the regular meeting mechanism between the Chinese and Russian prime ministers in December 1996, China-Russia economic and trade cooperation has entered a period of stable and rapid development. Reached unprecedented breadth and depth.

In 2001, the bilateral trade volume between China and Russia broke through the 10 billion U.S. dollar mark, and this year continues to maintain rapid growth ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ trade volume is expected to reach new highs. Russia is now China’s eighth largest trading partner, and China is Russia’s sixth largest trading partner. The economic and technological cooperation between the two countries in various fields is smooth, especially large projects involving the national economy and people’s livelihood are progressing steadily, and economic and trade cooperation is diversified. pattern.

In August last year, China and Russia just signed the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation" and believes that economic and trade cooperation is the material basis for China-Russia good-neighborly and friendly cooperation and an important guarantee for maintaining the vigor of the strategic partnership of cooperation between the two countries. Only by constantly actively exploring new directions and areas of cooperation, and formulating long-term cooperation plans, while formulating specific measures and solving specific problems for the implementation of related projects in various fields by both sides can ensure the long-term, stable and healthy Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation. The local exhibition provides a solid foundation that can be relied on for the continuous development of the strategic cooperative partnership in the political field of the two countries.

However, according to Boss Zhu, the two sides have recently experienced frictions that have been rare since the establishment of the Sino-Russian strategic cooperative partnership, and these frictions are mainly concentrated in the field of economic and trade cooperation.

"I remember when I went to Africa, there didn't seem to be so many problems?" Fan Wuyao couldn't help but feel very curious, not knowing why so many contradictions suddenly burst out.

But thinking of what happened to me in Africa. Fan Wubing couldn't help but sighed secretly, thinking that this international trade is really difficult to do.
