Chapter 1201

Xie Kai integrates the domestic appliance industry for export.

It was originally planned to cooperate with Thailand, but Thailand’s domestic market is too small, and it has not been able to find a country with a large market.

Argentina is a collaborator delivered to the door. The ordinary people are indeed poor, but they have a large middle class in their country. The farmers are rich people, and Brazil next door is also a huge market…

Arms cannot make too much money from them, and civilian products are okay.

“Thanks, I know you have a way. Cooperation is a very good thing for both of us.” Carlos thought Xie Kai was to improve conditions and obtain more mining rights. “We have smelters in China. The investment will be smaller than yours in Africa. The cost will be much lower if the ore is mined and then transported back after smelting…”

“Do you want to use our cooperation to develop heavy industry?” Xie Kai raised his brows and asked Carlos.

Carlos is noncommittal.

This kind of cooperation is originally a win-win situation, and it is of great benefit to both parties.

Chinese products can gain a market, and Argentina also has foreign investment to develop domestic basic industries, increase more job opportunities, reduce unemployment, and control inflation from the source.

“Perhaps, we can cooperate better. Of course, this requires a huge amount of funds…” Xie Kai thought for a while, and then said after having a preliminary plan, “We can establish a joint venture for color TV and other production plants in your country. …”

Carlos didn’t expect that Xie Kai actually made such a suggestion, “Not a mine investment? How much money can home appliances make?”

The domestic appliance industry in Argentina has not yet developed.

What’s more, who in the military cares about the industries they use to enjoy themselves?

“The home appliance industry is not big enough to make money. If it is big, even if one unit only earns fifty dollars, one million units, 10 million units? The entire South American home appliances come from Europe, America and Japan…” Xie Kai Calmly said, “The development of the home appliance manufacturing industry can occupy the entire South American market, and only the home appliance industry, which is a technology-funded and labor-intensive industry, can provide more employment opportunities…”

The market in South America is quite large.

The home appliance industry in Brazil is also good. Relatively speaking, the industrial base is relatively good.

To enter the South American market, it is bound to compete with Brazilian home appliances.

Perhaps the cost of production in Argentina will be lower than in China, at least Argentina can get Western chips.

“We want an aircraft carrier fleet.” Carlos looked at Xie Kai and said seriously, “like the fleet plan you provide to Thailand…”

Argentina is a naval power.

So far, the latest warships are two Sheffield-class destroyers purchased from the United Kingdom. Even the full version of these warships, even the full version, was sunk by two flying fish missiles bought by Argentina. Therefore, during the war, Argentina’s two most advanced warships stayed in the seaport, and the air force had to help with air defense.

If there is an aircraft carrier and a carrier-based aircraft, it will become the number one power in South America in minutes.

“Aircraft carrier fleet?” Xie Kai was a little unbelievable. Argentina didn’t have any money, and he wanted an aircraft carrier.

When signing a contract with Thailand, the Chinese side paid for it, and the Thai military repaid part of it every year. The delivery period and loan repayment are all Xie Kai can calculate. When Thailand is out of money during the Asian financial crisis and cannot afford to pay, the aircraft carrier can be used as a domestic training ship…

How can Argentina do this without paying a penny?

“Yes, the aircraft carrier fleet. We only need one aircraft carrier, and the frigate will need to be purchased in the future.” Carlos looked at Xie Kai seriously and said, “The payment method of the aircraft carrier can be paid by our mining rights or cooperation. Industrial equity as collateral…”



Argentina needs a strong navy.

The country now owes US$70 billion in foreign debt, and it is impossible to repay the debt simply by selling beef and soybeans.

The domestic unemployment rate has always been high, the inflation rate is high, and there is not enough funds to invest in domestic industries and provide more job opportunities to reduce the inflation rate.

Therefore, whether it is the resource-for-equipment plan proposed by China for African countries or the installment plan for the Thai military, they all meet the needs of the Argentine military.

“General, we really want to do this business.” Xie Kai sighed. “But you know the economic situation of our country. All of our businesses are self-invested in Burundi, Africa, and the three countries of Tanzania and Angola. After reaching a resource-for-equipment exchange agreement with the Thai government, we are under great financial pressure…”

It’s not that Xie Kai doesn’t believe in the Argentine government.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

But the Argentine government has money.

Exporting beef to Europe and the United States every year is also a source of foreign exchange, not to mention exporting other grains.

“…” Carlos frowned, wondering what Xie Kai wanted to do.

Before coming, they had already inquired clearly, this young man is very important.

And that export unit was not very interested in what they did.

The domestic only gave 200 million U.S. dollars, which is not enough.

“General, you know, mine investment, etc., the investment funds are huge, and the payback period is very long…and we don’t have enough funds to support such a plan…” Xie Kai explained.

Argentina’s future economic development is still very good. In the next 30 years, it will be at least an object worthy of long-term cooperation.

Take the equipment without giving money. The Chinese help their government make money, and then get back their equipment and investment. This is a good thing that everyone thinks.

“So, in such a situation, if you want to cooperate, your country must pay part of the capital, and the remaining part can be exchanged for resources or a joint venture between the two parties…” Xie Kai said clearly.

A portion of the money must be given first.

In other words, the cost must be recovered, and profits and other things can be put there first.

“What about the ratio?”

“At least half.” Xie Kai’s conditions were not excessive, but General Carlos was somewhat unacceptable.

Based on China’s offer to Thailand, the price of an aircraft carrier is around US$430 million.

It seems to be higher than the Spanish offer, but the advantage is that the Thai government does not need to give so much money at once, the long repayment period, and the international loan interest rates are much higher than this.

“What conditions did you give Carlos? They all sued the military and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?” On the third day after Carlos talked with him, Xie Kai was arrested by Zheng Yucheng in a hurry. come out.

This old man is always in this attitude now, Xie Kai is numb.

“The Argentine asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to file a complaint with the military? What happened? Didn’t offend them.” Xie Kai was puzzled.

I seriously recalled the whole process, and it seemed that there was nothing unkind to them. I didn’t say anything to offend people, didn’t I?

Zheng Yucheng was so angry that he said, “The Argentine complained that you were discriminating…”

A word of MMP almost blurted out of Xie Kai’s mouth.

What did you discriminate against Argentina?

This matter has become serious internationally.

No wonder Zheng Yucheng didn’t stay at the base and ran to find himself.

“You have been complained about this matter twice in a row, it is very hot.” Zheng Yucheng said solemnly.

The last time, it was a complaint from Tanzania, which had cooperated with them, and eventually forced 404 to start a resource-for-equipment plan with them.

Argentines do the same now.

Can you be a little bit ethical?

“It’s really like this? There is no discrimination.” Zheng Yucheng felt incredible after hearing Xie Kai’s introduction of the whole thing.

Xie Kai was helpless.

How can international cooperation be done like this?

“Do you really ask for 2 billion US dollars? The Argentine army can get that much?” Zheng Yucheng understood.

However, Xie Kai’s request is a bit excessive. To cooperate, two billion dollars of equipment must be obtained. First, one billion dollars will be given, and the remaining one billion dollars will be mortgaged with mining rights and so on.

“Not many. They not only need tank production technology, but also aircraft carriers. They have not yet raised the issue of fighters. It is estimated that they are worried that we cannot provide advanced fighters…” Xie Kai said.

The Argentines are also dissatisfied with Xie Kai’s conditions. Although they know that this is the other party’s difficulty, once such an opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to get it again.

In the past few days, not only protested to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also discriminated against the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in charge of 404 and those who complained about 404 in the General Administration.

In order to get Chinese equipment without spending money, or even let the Chinese help them invest in infrastructure construction and economic development, they can be said to be completely shameless.

“Dignity? Without economic strength, nothing else is possible! Whether it is Western countries or the Soviet Union, who is not for higher interests? Only the Chinese, although they are also for profit, but the countries that cooperate with them, the economic growth momentum It’s very fierce, and the various infrastructure constructions are also very good. Look at the development of Burundi in recent years…” Regarding the accusations of General Carlos and others, the deputy head of the delegation, Raul Kao, the deputy minister from the Ministry of Industry With a look of excitement.

He didn’t think it was a loss of national dignity.

In the face of national development, everything has to be compromised.

Only when a country is strong will it truly have resources.

Western countries do not want to see other countries develop, and only hope that these countries will become their markets.

Argentina has always hoped to develop its own industrial system and establish a sound scientific research system. Only China can help them.

“General, Minister Raul is right. If a cooperation agreement is reached, not only will the national defense construction leap forward, but even the domestic industrial system will gradually improve, and we will even have the opportunity to gain access to China’s huge market.” The colonel didn’t think there was a problem either.

“This is for the Chinese to invest in helping us develop… Will they agree?” Carlos also knew.
