Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2159 Continue to Increase Investment in Central Asia

"We need to study it carefully, Mr. Ji, and we will contact you later!"

Ji Donglai's project is too attractive, especially to these Pashtuns who have studied abroad in Europe. Each of them has an advanced mindset.

Spacious roads, clean communities, and a leisurely working environment and life are what everyone yearns for.

There is a huge space for struggle between that kind of living environment and the current Afghanistan. Everyone wants to live this kind of life in their hometown. Of course, these people also know what price they have to pay.

Chinese businessmen do business for the sake of business, with almost no additional conditions, which is the best. There is no ideological output and no political intervention.

Thus, a discussion involving many tribes began. Ji Donglai was not idle either, and directly connected with Qiu Ranran.

"What a good project! The road from here to here is a big undertaking. If you take it down, you must give it to me. Donglai! How wide do you plan to make it?"

When faced with Ji Donglai's project, Qiu Ranran's eyes lit up.

There are opportunities everywhere in Afghanistan now. Many people from Qiu Ranran’s company have gone out to work on their own. Some of them have moved over with their backpacks and started dealing in US military supplies.

Facts have proved that opportunities come to those who are lucky.

The vast majority of people have failed on this land, and not many have returned alive.

Qiu Ranran originally wanted to start out on his own, but when he met a few of his former colleagues who had survived in the hospital, he immediately gave up the idea.

If you don't understand local customs and haven't built a good reputation and credit, and the locals still shake your hand and say they trust you, please don't hesitate. They must be a liar and you will lose all your money if you cooperate with them.

Since the withdrawal of US troops, no less than three-digit Chinese businessmen and traders have lost their lives in this area within a few months. Why?

The locals don’t have money either! You cooperate with them to make money, and they also expect to make money from you. Without a high degree of cooperation, do you still expect to come out alive?

Through cooperation like Ji Donglai, payment can be made directly from Europe instead of Afghanistan, which is absolutely safe.

"This is the model that is needed for cooperation now. I take over the refinery, and then find someone to jointly develop the oil and gas fields. You build the road, and the raw materials come from me. Let's establish a healthy cooperation."

"My company needs to be registered under your company name, otherwise there will be problems with settlement! Even though I have already settled in Euros in Europe and bypassed the US dollar, I am not sure now."

"Confirm first whether your leader is willing to share the risk with me. If so, then let's cooperate. I will find other people to start cooperating in the development of oil and gas fields!"

For such a large-scale cooperation, Ji Donglai could not count on any blood ties, he had to figure things out.

Now the world has entered a new level of game, Ji Donglai must be careful. He returns to China now to avoid the incident with Meng Wanzhou, and the benefits can be put off until later.

"I'll ask my boss right away. You have a company in Horgos, and you also have a company in Uzbekistan. At worst, we can cooperate with the company there."

"I will definitely get this project, you can find someone else!"

Qiu Ranran was very confident, and Ji Donglai didn't say much. He turned around and contacted Huayan Baoliang.

The other party was in China and came over overnight when he heard about Ji Donglai's project. Looking at the paparazzi waiting in front of the door, Hua Yan Baoliang entered Ji Donglai's house wearing a mask, and the two faced each other through the glass.

Soon, this photo of Huayan Baoliang having a secret meeting with Ji Donglai late at night also appeared on the Internet, causing a stir in the entire capital market.

"Ji Donglai wants to sell the company's capital again. I always say this person is unreliable..."

Since Ji Donglai had previously sold many of his businesses to Huayan Baoliang, these people were more willing to believe that he was preparing to sell his businesses. Many self-media followed suit, especially those online bloggers who had never even been to the scene. Many even claimed that they had interviewed Ji Donglai over the phone.

Foreign media have also begun to make various speculations. After all, these two large companies in China represent the private enterprise camp and the state-owned enterprise camp respectively, and it is a bit strange that they had a secret meeting late at night.

"We haven't even finished talking yet, but the media has already come to a conclusion. The media is really powerful now!"

Ji Donglai got the news quickly and showed the tablet in his hand to Hua Yan Baoliang. President Hua also received the news.

"My story is similar. Either I am absorbing you, or you are planning to acquire us. In these media, there is never the concept of win-win cooperation. It's all about struggle. But ordinary people are willing to watch it. It's really interesting..." Hua Yan Baoliang closed the page on his mobile phone, and Ji Donglai took out a draft plan.

"This is the area of ​​the oil field. You are responsible for development and exploration, and we will provide the funds! We will invest according to a certain ratio. Qiu Ranran is also applying to the company. If possible, the three of us will cooperate to set up a new company to jointly carry out this project."

"The development here is very promising and has huge potential, but of course there are many risks. I have been working there for more than ten years and have only just started to see significant returns. You have to be patient."

"Compared with this market, the projects we worked on in the early stage are still small projects. If nothing unexpected happens, they will also want to build a road in the Wakhan Corridor. The tribes there are more complicated, and there will be more situations in the future."

"Also, if you come with me to invest, you have to be mentally prepared. The construction process here will be very long and may not be smooth. Based on my understanding of working with them for such a long time, some things need to be discussed while working together. They can always find new troubles for you, making you defenseless."

"Don't worry about these. We can handle them. We have enough connections there! Payment is in Euros. We can bring back a lot of local things. There is a big market for some products in China!"

"Also, that place is close to Turkmenistan. I suggest you build your own processing plant in my oil field area. By the way, many of our important equipment can be exported there. When doing projects, we can't just limit ourselves to one field. We have to diversify because there is a shortage of everything locally. Don't expect them to buy just because you sell nuts, because they can't buy bolts at all..."

Ji Donglai has absolute say in the entire Central Asian market.

Ji Donglai has been deeply involved in the markets of the five Central Asian countries plus Afghanistan and Iran in the south for many years. When others turned their attention to the US market, Ji Donglai gritted his teeth and invested heavily here. Now he is finally seeing the rewards, the kind of permanent rewards.

For anyone who wants to invest in the Central Asian market, the first step now is to seek cooperation with Yiyuan Zhizao. Even for consultation, it is impossible to obtain useful information with less than 300,000 yuan each time. This is the benefit of information monopoly.

The first batch of businessmen who followed Ji Donglai and Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing to Central Asia are now well-known locally and can undertake some services, but compared with Ji Donglai, they are a drop in the bucket.

Especially large companies like Huayan Baoliang and Qiu Ranran, if they want to enter such a large market, they must cooperate with Ji Donglai, because those small companies simply do not have the strength to take over.

So when Ji Donglai negotiated with Huayan Baoliang Company this time, the conditions proposed by Hu Xinyu were very harsh. Whether in terms of capital contribution or proportion, they must have an absolute advantage.

Qiu Ranran is in trouble this time. From the perspective of the other party's leaders, this market is too risky and difficult to control, and they need to "wait and see."

"Leader, we have some experience in construction in Afghanistan. We were responsible for the construction of the glass factory and mobile phone factory built by Ji Donglai. This is not difficult..."

The first plan was rejected by the leader. Qiu Ranran was a little unwilling to accept it, so she came up with another plan. However, this time the leader not only did not look at it, but was also very dissatisfied with it. Qiu Ranran hurried to explain.

"That's just a minor incident. The situation in each place is different. You'd better ask the local authorities to make a detailed research report for me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to convince the higher-ups. Now is the adjustment period, and we need to avoid risks. You are also someone who has been leading teams outside for a long time, so you understand what I mean."

"If this plan was in the Middle East or Syria, I could submit it. But now this is Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires. There is nothing to refer to. How can I convince people?"

"Find an accurate third party and bring a decent report. We will make a proper assessment and then make specific implementation plans. Don't make decisions on your own. Do you understand?"

When the leader spoke this time, his tone was already stern, which was completely different from when Mr. Qiu was alive.

At this time, Qiu Ranran also understood that this plan was almost impossible to implement.

Apart from other things, for such a large enterprise, third-party reports must be submitted for more than one year or even three years, unless the project initiator assumes independent responsibility.

The latter rarely works because such businesses won't allow you to do anything reckless.

As for a decent third party? Yiyuan Zhizao is decent enough, but this time you are going to cooperate with Yiyuan Zhizao, and the stakeholders are the third party. Are you crazy?
Qiu Ranran walked out of the leader's office with the plan in his hand, feeling very disappointed. There was a serious sense of frustration in his eyes. He had always thought that he had gotten rid of the influence of his family, but now it seems that he was a little arrogant.

However, Qiu Ranran was not in a hurry to tell Ji Donglai about this matter, but instead had a video chat with Qiu Haitang about family matters.

"Old man, have you and Sister Ranran had any collaborative projects recently?"

After the two chatted, Qiu Haitang immediately video-called Ji Donglai.

"Looking for you?"

Looking at Qiu Haitang's appearance, Ji Donglai took the little thing in his hand and teased the little one at home through the screen. Over there, Ji Zhensheng held the little guy and showed his face for a moment, then immediately went to the side and started playing with the baby like a toy.

It can be said that the little guy now has given Ji Zhen a toy.
