Chapter 144 Expedient measures
This dangerous look made the woman outside the car, whose face was full of charm, froze directly, as if being drenched in a bucket of ice water, for a moment she thought that she might be about to die.

A few seconds later, the woman who finally came to her senses stood up silently and took two steps back, allowing Han Feng to restart the car and drive away.

After such an accident, the atmosphere in the car became a little more subtle. Han Feng did not continue to deliberately slow down, but because there were still many cars that stopped and started along the way, it was still difficult to get up fast.

"I've heard that Prague has replaced Rotterdam as the capital of Europe, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated." As more and more street girls stood by the roadside, Leila was not interested in commenting on them at first. .

"Didn't it say that the Czech Republic is the most developed place in the world for the adult industry?" Han Feng carefully drove around a Volkswagen SUV parked on the side of the highway, and a tent was set up next to the car, which was shaking constantly Akira, it's not hard to guess what's going on inside, considering the weather outside is nearly windless.

Leila nodded: "Well, there are probably thousands of legally registered service places in Prague, but the staff there obviously won't go to the highway to solicit customers like this."

"It seems that the scale of the adult industry here is larger than the statistics on paper." Han Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief looking at the long line of toll booths in front of him.

Most of the highways in Europe are contracted to private companies to be responsible for maintenance and toll collection, so the level of different toll stations varies, and there is not even an ETC passage here, so Han Feng had to find a relatively short queue to wait behind.

"Look, there are two police cars parked next to the toll booth, but they are indifferent to the people who parked on the highway just now." Leila pointed to the two police cars with blue police lights flashing outside the window and said, "I'm afraid they have already It has been taken care of, and even the underground industry has formed a stable ecology."

The stability of the underground world is relatively worse, and the black industry has started to operate stably, which shows that this situation may have been maintained for a long time.

The last time Han Feng came here, he took a plane directly to the airport, and then went straight to the equipment storage base, so he didn't see these things.

"They are really poor women." Han Feng looked at the women who were still soliciting customers from the rearview mirror and said with emotion: "But in the final analysis, they chose this by themselves."

Leila obviously knew what Han Feng meant: "That's right, they should have thought of such a day when they chose to join the Europa League."

The Czech Republic had a period of good economic development in the early 21st century, but the gift of fate must be priced in secret. When the European debt crisis broke out in 2009, the beautiful dream was shattered.

Like the vast majority of Eastern European countries, although the Czech Republic has joined the Europa Union, it has not joined the Eurozone. Having its own currency but no independent monetary policy means that the Czech Koruna may become a scapegoat for the Euro at any time, so in the past few years The sharp depreciation is obviously a big trouble for a country that does not have a complete industrial chain and relies on imports for most of its commodities.

Of course, for the purpose of Han Feng's trip, this is definitely a good thing, after all, he can pay directly in US dollars.

Kokal chose the place to meet in a barbecue restaurant on the outskirts of Prague.

"Mr. Han, afternoon...uh, good evening."

Originally, the two of them should have an appointment for dinner, but when they actually met in the restaurant, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.

"I kept you waiting, Mr. Kaukal, we were blocked for some time on the E55 highway." Han Feng and Leila shook hands with Kaukal respectively.

"The E55 road, that's a..." Kaukal had already shown an expression that men could understand, but after looking at Leila next to Han Feng, he still said seriously: "It's really messy there every rest day. Even foreigners who buy sex are often robbed."

"It's so messy? I think there are police officers on duty on that road." Han Feng subconsciously felt that this statement was a bit exaggerated.

"The entire road is almost a lawless place. The police who can be on duty there receive more money from the gangsters every month than from the Prague government." Kaukal shrugged and put the money on the table. Two menus were handed in front of the two: "Look what to eat? Fortunately, this restaurant is open all night."

"It seems that we were lucky, and we didn't encounter any dangers along the way." Han Feng said while lowering his head and randomly selected some kinds of barbecue on the menu: "Let's get back to the topic, is there any news from your Ministry of Industry and Trade? "

"They don't seem to care much about the situation of LET, so the acquisition itself should not be hindered." Kaukal took the briefcase on the next chair to the table, and took out a document from it. Copy: "However, I learned one thing from the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The reason for the initial stalemate between Ural Mining and Metallurgical Group and LET Company should be that the former hopes to gradually transfer the production of L410 aircraft back to China. But LET insisted on producing in the Czech Republic."

Han Feng took the copy and found that it was an unsigned contract. The content was probably about the production method of the L410 aircraft. The first 12 aircraft will be produced and assembled in the Czech Republic, and the production process will gradually transition to the Czech Republic. in West Asia.

"But LET should be a subsidiary of Ural Mining. How did they do it?" Han Feng was a little curious. Logically speaking, LET should have no say in this matter.

"It's more complicated to talk about. In short, there are some shady methods. Generally speaking, the government will acquiesce in this kind of behavior for Lucia's company."

Han Feng's false identity is a Cypriot, and Leila's false identity is even stronger, she is a Monaco, so Kaukal replied indifferently.

"Hmm... so the acquisition of LET will also face some commercial and legal risks?" Han Feng returned the copy of the contract to Kocal.

He wasn't afraid of any outside moves, but this was a purely away game after all, and it was mainly troublesome.

"That's not going to happen." Kocal shook his head quickly: "The main thing that does this is the LET trade union. It is said that it is a trade union, but in fact it is the former underworld in Kunovice. Behind it is the Kunovice Council. How dare you dare to deal with a company registered in Belgium like this, but when you are negotiating with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, they may require additional clauses that must be produced in the Czech Republic."

If the production line of the LET company can be put into operation, it can provide about 300 jobs, which is not a small benefit for the Czech Republic today.

However, the political situation in the Czech Republic is quite unstable. Han Feng does not want to produce in such a country for a long time, and he has already finalized the plan to build a factory with Algeria more than a month earlier.

Originally, this matter was really difficult to deal with, but at this juncture, Han Feng did have some ways to deal with it.

Then Han Feng spent a few days to visit the whole LET company accompanied by representatives sent by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade and Kokar. They are still able to produce the old L410M or L410UVP, but they are only a production enterprise The LET design capability of China is really insufficient, so the L410NG still has not been able to charge, and lacks a product that is truly competitive in the market.

Kokar just did some research on the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade. The real contract still needs to be negotiated between Han Feng, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and Ural Mining Group.

The entire negotiation process was not at all what Han Feng expected. Ural Mining was eager to get rid of the burden quickly, and coupled with the possible existence of Leila's face, they quoted an astonishingly low price of 8500 million US dollars to Han Feng. The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic didn't care too much about the remaining less than [-]% of the shares in their hands, and also quoted a very sincere price-now that the Czech Republic's financial situation is not good, it can sell some shares with little return Paying back money is also a good thing.

At the end of the negotiation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade really asked Hanfeng to keep the production line in the Czech Republic after the completion of the acquisition, as Kokar said that night, because "the labor union made relevant demands."

Han Feng, who had already made preparations, didn't struggle with this link for too long. After a short thought, he resolutely agreed to this request, but only asked for an additional clause.

If LET Company is unable to complete a certain production order due to its location, or the progress of completing the order is seriously behind expectations, so that there is a possibility of default, BIB Group (BI Belgium) can relocate the production line to other places that are more conducive to the completion of production. nation.

This content seems to be just for risk avoidance, and maybe there are factors that prompt LET to improve production efficiency. In short, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic did not pay much attention to it.

So the negotiation was successfully completed within one day, and LET Company successfully became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BIB Group.

Of course, the change in equity has no effect on the vast majority of people in the company, because no matter who owns the company, as long as there is no order, work cannot start, and if work cannot start, there will be no money to pay wages, and employees will continue to be hungry.

"Are you really planning to keep the production line in the Czech Republic?" After the negotiation, Leila and Han Feng sat back in the car with a full set of procedures: "I have to remind you that the Czech Republic is not a reliable country. It’s not stable. When we were in the restaurant of the factory a few days ago, I told a few people that the local union has been threatening the workers to reduce their work efficiency. The design problem of L410NG may also be related to this matter. .”

"Of course I know this. Right now it's just a stopgap measure. In a month at most, I'll have a way to move this company to North Africa for production."
