Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

John Jim thought for a moment after listening to the English translation relayed by the translator and said

"Then how do you want to establish a communication channel?"

“Where are you going to set up the cooperation?”

“What is the scope of cooperation?”

Zhang Renkang explained with a smile

"Sir John, this question is beyond the scope of what you and I can discuss."

"Since you are interested in in-depth cooperation with us, how about a formal meeting?"

"Why don't we discuss whether we can build a factory in Hong Kong Island and cooperate with each other?"

John Jim was somewhat interested. Since he had found out that China had a strategic intention to cooperate, the next negotiation would be John's business. Instead, he was very interested in Zhang Renkang's proposal to open a factory in Hong Kong Island.

Nodding, smiling and spreading hands

"Oh, Mr. Zhang Renkang, what do you mean by opening a factory?"

"You want to set up a factory in Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Renkang explained

"Sir John may not know that I am the head of the New Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant in China, and we want to sell the cars produced by our company in Hong Kong Island."

“Can you approve an area for us to build a manufacturing plant?”

"Or you can invest in us for cooperation and distribute the profits according to the investment ratio."

John Jim kept looking at Zhang Renkang. He couldn't figure out what this young man was going to do.

Build a factory in Hong Kong Island?

What?

Don't they have any place on the mainland?

John-Jim asked

"what?"

"You want to open a factory in Hong Kong Island?"

"why?"

Zhang Renkang laughed and explained

"Your country's Crewe is world-renowned for its car manufacturing"

“We want to have a good exchange with you and learn some experience.”

"How about you and I cooperate to build a factory in Hong Kong Island?"

“Produce cars for external sales”

Zhang Tingan, who was standing at the side, was so shocked when he heard Zhang Renkang's words that he almost couldn't sit still. If it wasn't for his trust, he would have wanted to stop Zhang Renkang.

How dare Zhang Renkang cooperate with John to build a factory? Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble when he returns?

John Jim thought for a moment and nodded and smiled.

“I can help you make connections.”

"Of course, Hong Kong Island has enough space for a factory"

John Jim couldn't guess Zhang Renkang's purpose, so he simply gave up guessing. As long as the factory was built in Hong Kong Island, he would make money anyway.

If it doesn't work out, it's no loss to him.

If it is built, it can promote the prosperity of Hong Kong Island and provide tax revenue. The most important thing is that John Jim heard something different from Zhang Renkang's words.

Since it is a collaboration, can't he be among the collaborators?

The most important thing is that if Zhang Renkang wants to build a factory in Hong Kong Island, he must go through the Governor. In particular, the automobile companies in John's country are involved. Without his permission, no company dares to cooperate with China in Hong Kong Island privately.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"I wonder if Mr. Governor can help me make a connection. I heard that your BMC company is an artistic leader in the automotive industry. We would like to learn from them. Is that okay?"

"I would like to ask the Governor to help us contact and communicate, if the two parties can reach a cooperation in Hong Kong Island"

“It must be a beautiful thing worthy of praise.”

John Jim smiled and nodded.

"Can"

"I am happy to help you contact BMC. I think your cooperation is a model of freedom and democracy in Hong Kong Island."

After the meeting, Zhang Renkang dealt with several reporters and made a bunch of nonsense about the friendly and mutual assistance between the two sides, and then went straight back to the hotel room to wait for the evening party.

Zhang Tingan said helplessly

"Comrade Renkang, how could you have thought of proposing to cooperate with John to build a factory?"

"This, this country doesn't give us this authority, right?"

"If I go back"

Zhang Renkang interrupted him and explained

"I have already reported this matter to the chief before departure."

"The Chief Minister agreed to try to reach out to the Hong Kong side when the time permits"

"Lao Zhang, the Gauls have provided us with a great opportunity. It would be a shame if we don't seize it."

Zhang Tingan didn't quite understand, so Zhang Renkang could only explain:

"What we lack most in China is not actually manufacturing capacity. Although our industrialization is backward compared to other countries, at least we have everything we need."

“What we lack is advanced technology and management solutions, especially standard setting”

"For a long time, we have been blocked and severely out of touch with other countries. We have no idea of ​​their development and progress."

"Especially in our country, both technical and management talents are seriously lacking in industry development vision."

"Why did I build a factory in Hong Kong Island and cooperate with John? It was to open the eyes of my comrades in China to see the world."

"Look at the gap between us and modernization. Through this cooperative factory built with Western standards, we can take a good look at our gap from hardware foundation to operation management."

“This is also recognized and supported by the leader.”

"More importantly, didn't you expect that once the Gauls opened up formal trade cooperation with us, it would be no less than a super atomic bomb for the current world?"

"Why did Sir John Jim so readily agree to build a factory for us in Hong Kong Island today?"

"Doesn't he care about the attitude of the beautiful people?"

"John's people are afraid. They are afraid that Old Euro will really abandon them and eat all by himself."

"More importantly, if your superiors really agree to cooperate, have you ever thought about it?"

"The country is entering another round of balancing and reshuffle."

"Will the comrades in our team who stayed in Gaul and Europe become balanced again with those who stayed in the North?"

"Besides preparing for war in the north, are there any other things in the next round?"

“For example, after the pressure in the south is relieved, will there be large-scale development and construction?”

Zhang Renkang looked at Zhang Tingan

He knows the future trends. Although future generations may not know some of the details and truths of the present, the Chinese have never lacked smart people. Some people have already analyzed the situation in the mainland. Zhang Renkang has seen a lot of fast media.

More importantly, after integrating into this era, he also has his own feelings and judgments.

It was this butterfly that triggered a revolution that did not exist before. The equipment and machinery smuggled through Hong Kong Island over the past three years not only made the country realize the gap, but also attracted the attention of old European countries to the mainland.

Originally, they did not take the Chinese market too seriously, but the increasing number of smuggling orders in the country in the past three years surprised them. After evaluation, both the Gauls, Hans and Johns were salivating over this new and rich market.

More importantly, out of political considerations, they all need to share the coldness of the north wind and check and balance the United States.

Zhang Renkang turned his head and looked at the traffic downstairs with some interest, wondering if it would trigger the decision of domestic reform and opening up in advance.

This isn't something impossible.

After all, the superiors are a group of heroes who have gathered the destiny of the country for thousands of years, and they are very accurate in grasping the timing.

If China really opened up earlier, I wonder if there would be the rise of the Four Asian Tigers and the revival of Korea.
