Chapter 334 Negotiations
Haitings is the leader of Ford's negotiating team. At this time, he is leading the team to leave Pengcheng International Airport and prepare to take the high-speed train to Shanmei.

As Mi Li's family who came to Dongtang for the first time, he had to lament the greatness and horror of this country, looking at the bustling scenery of high-rise buildings and heavy traffic outside the car window.

"Mr. Haitings, is this your first visit to East Downs?" asked Parker Barry, general manager of Ford East Downs Branch.

Haitings nodded: "It is indeed my first time to Dongtang."

"Very shocking, isn't it!"

"It was really shocking."

"The longer you stay in this country, the more you can feel that this country is improving and changing every day." Parker Barry sighed with a complicated expression.

"Mi Li's family is falling behind, and we have been living on our laurels." Haitings said with a wry smile.

"Look at the high-speed rail we are riding now, is it very fast?"

Haitings looked at the scenery passing by the car window, and replied in agreement: "It is indeed very fast. There is no comparison with the slow and old trains in China. I heard that the first phase of the California high-speed rail has been completed. I believe we will There will be a high-speed rail."

"California high-speed rail? With the speed they are slowing down, it is estimated that it may not be completed in 2030." Parker Barley sneered.

"Haha!" Haitings shook his head and smiled wryly. He felt the same way about Parker's words.

Parker immediately revealed a piece of news that surprised Haitings: "Do you know Haitings? Dongtang is already preparing to eliminate the high-speed rail."

"What? Eliminate high-speed rail?" Haitings obviously couldn't believe it. Such a good technology is going to be eliminated?
"Don't believe it?" Parker opened the holographic bracelet and found a news article "Ministry of Railways Pilot Pingtan-Shantou-US Vacuum Railway".

Haitings raised his glasses and read the article carefully. The more he read it, the more he was shocked.

"Why haven't I heard relevant reports in China?"

"Do you think these great achievements of Dongtang will be reported in China? They will only blackmail Dongtang." Parker said helplessly.

"It's amazing. The speed is 1100-1200 kilometers per hour. If an intercontinental railway is built, it will only take about ten hours from Dongtang to Mili's house."

"NO! If it is an intercontinental railway, this speed will only be faster, because theoretically, the speed of a vacuum railway can reach a speed of about 1 kilometers per hour." Parker said.

"It's unbelievable. We are still dilating building a high-speed rail, but Dongtang is already preparing to phase out the high-speed rail." Haitings said with a heavy heart.

"This is just one of the aspects, just like our mobile phones, chips, and communications have all fallen behind." Parker reminded.

Haitings has some understanding of the mobile phones, chips, communications, etc. that Parker mentioned. Now 98% of the global mobile phone market is occupied by the 8 major manufacturers of Dongtang, the 2 major manufacturers of Colliers, and Sydney.

Don't look at the name of Mi Li's family in Sydney. In fact, they are the holding company of the Galaxy consortium.

Not to mention chips, Dongtang, Dongdao, and Gaoli have already popularized 7nm and 5nm, high-end ones are using 3nm, Galaxy Group is even developing 1nm.

And Mili’s Intel, Texas Instruments, and Nvidia are now struggling on 7nm.

Also in the field of communications, the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia regions have begun to fully popularize 6G communications, while Milijia is still using 4G communications.

There is a big difference between the two, how can this not make Haitings feel sad and pessimistic.

Haitings didn't want to continue this heavy topic, so he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Parker, what does Raytheon Group say about our arrival?"

"They welcome our arrival, but it seems that the conditions are a bit harsh. I heard that the negotiation of the Volkswagen Group was not pleasant yesterday." Parker told the news he knew.

"To be more specific, what are their conditions?"

"Shares, 30% of shares required."

"30% of the shares?" Haitingston frowned upon hearing this condition.

"Raytheon Group's attitude is very tough. By the way, Musk also went to Shanmei yesterday."

"Tesla's Musk?"

"That's the guy."

"Hasn't Tesla been cooperating with Raytheon Group? Why is he here?" Haitings asked in surprise.

"It seems that this time they are working with GM. Raytheon Group is very dissatisfied and is preparing to increase the price of Tesla's batteries." Parker said gloatingly.

Haitings couldn't deny the matter, and then he continued: "This 30% stake, I want to talk to the president and the board of directors."

"necessary."

Haitings took out his laptop, wrote these things in an email, and sent it to Milijia's head office.

By the time his email was sent, the train had slowly stopped at the Shantou-US high-speed railway station.

When he came to Shanmei, Haitings saw a world different from ordinary big cities. The large area of ​​graphene solar film made the whole city look like it was indoors.

Very common holographic projection equipment, electric vehicles, and flowers and trees everywhere, those vines climbing on the walls of the house, and the roof is almost a sky garden.

"A city full of technology and natural atmosphere." Haitings praised.

"After all, this is one of the two core cities of the Galaxy Consortium, and its positioning is the capital of science and technology." Parker explained as he walked.

"Where is the headquarters of Galaxy Technology?"

"There!" Parker said, pointing to the five stepped buildings.

他指的阶梯式大厦就是银河科技的15、16、17、18、19五栋大厦。

Parker continued to explain: "Galaxy Technology will build a new building every year, and the new building will be 10 floors higher than the previous year's building, which symbolizes the progress of Galaxy Technology every year."

"I see." Haitings looked at the stepped building like a bar graph, and he could see the ambition of Galaxy Technology.

The two sat in the minibus and looked at the factories and high-rise buildings on both sides in silence. The rapid development of Dongtang now broke their pride.

Soon in the silence, the minibus carrying Ford's negotiating team finally arrived at the headquarters of Raytheon Group.

For such matters of their own business, Yinhe Technology generally does not come forward, and each group handles it by itself. Unless it is a very big matter, Yinhe Technology will come forward.

After Fang Shengjie exchanged a few words with Haitings, he immediately handed over a contract to Haitings.

Looking at the terms of the contract, it turned out that it was similar to what Parker said. Raytheon Group asked Ford to take 30% of the shares and sell them to Raytheon Group for 100 billion Chinese yuan.

"Mr. Fang, please give us some time. I need to talk to the board of directors about this matter." Haitings knew he couldn't decide.

Fang Shengjie nodded: "Yes, I will give you three days."

"Then let's say goodbye."

After Haitings said hello, he took Parker and others back to the hotel.

the other side.

Mi Li's house, in the Ford headquarters.

The president of Ford has already received the email from Haitings. Obviously, he is not surprised by Raytheon Group's harsh conditions, or that the lion opened his mouth.

But even he can't decide this matter, after all, it involves a 30% share transaction, and he has to discuss it with Ford's board of directors.
