As it turns out, Lin Hongfei and Rostock's estimate of Volkswagen is not wrong at all. Before Lin Hongfei and Rostock came up with a solution, the phone in Lin Hongfei's office rang. As soon as the phone was connected, Uncle Wang's voice rang, "Xiaolin, has Volkswagen Company helped you get an invitation letter to the Sao Paulo International Auto Show held in Sao Paulo, Brazil in November?"

"That's the case," Lin Hongfei couldn't figure out what Uncle Wang meant when he made the phone call, so he became much more cautious in his words. "We are discussing this matter."

"What do you think?"

Lin Hongfei couldn't say that we thought this was a big conspiracy between Volkswagen and us, so we were considering whether to convince you not to go, so we had to say, "Of course we are happy to be able to attend the Sao Paulo International Auto Show, but we also have some concerns."

"Huh?" Lin Hongfei's answer was not beyond Uncle Wang's expectations. Such a big thing would be really strange if Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Lin Hongfei had no worries. He nodded, "Tell me, what are you worried about?"

"First of all, I just asked a friend abroad to consult. Although the Sao Paulo International Auto Show in Brazil is called an international auto show, it has only been held for less than 5 sessions. Not only does it have little influence in South America, it is not even considered a car show with great influence in Brazil, and it is also impossible to compare with the world's five major auto shows," Lin Hongfei said this and gave a slight pause before continuing, "But the exhibition fee reported to us by this auto show with almost no influence in the world is very high. Together with battlefield rental fees, accommodation fees and other fees, it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than 700,000 US dollars. This is not a small number."

Of course, 700,000 US dollars is not a small number. It would be fine if the money was given by the state, but it would be obvious that this is impossible. The state cannot give out 700,000 US dollars to waste the waters of Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to say it is more honest. 700,000 US dollars is about 6 million in rmb. With this 6 million, how many dormitory buildings and office buildings can be built?

6 million, that's a lot of money!

Uncle Wang didn't know what to say for a moment, but Lin Hongfei had no intention of quitting. He continued. "If the 700,000 US dollars spent is valuable, it's nothing. Just treat it as promoting and making a reputation for our company's products. But now it seems that it will be at least within five years. Our company's cars are unlikely to be sold to South America. Since we have no market in South America, especially Brazil, the 700,000 US dollars spent seems to be a bit unfair... Of course, if the country supports us to participate in the Sao Paulo International Auto Show, based on domestic publicity needs, we can also try it."

Not only is it a bit unfair, after Lin Hongfei said this, Uncle Wang, who was excited to think that this matter could be operated, already thought in his heart that this was a foolish move to waste money: Since Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has not planned to sell cars to Brazil in recent years. Then, participating in this auto show, apart from the waste of money and adding political achievements and glory to some leaders' faces, there is no other effect. But...

The words "Five International Auto Shows" mentioned in Lin Hongfei just reminded him and hesitated for a while. Uncle Wang still asked, "What kind of auto show are these five international auto shows? Is it very influential in the international community?"

This question is purely redundant. Can it be named the "Five International" auto show, and its influence is small?

"The five international auto shows, namely the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, the Detroit Motor Show in the United States, the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, the Paris Motor Show in France and the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, are also the best stage for the world's most influential automobile manufacturers and automobile industry supporting manufacturers to show their image and strength. Every move has a huge impact on the development of the world's automobile industry and can be regarded as the weather vane for the development of the world's automobile industry."

Lin Hongfei said it briefly, but Uncle Wang immediately became concerned, "Since these five auto show have such great influence... have your company considered participating in these five auto show?"

"Tsk..." Lin Hongfei immediately took a breath with a very toothache. He really dared to think about this elder brother of his father-in-law. He had to remind Uncle Wang, "According to the preparatory committees of the five major auto shows, all manufacturers participating in the auto show must be international auto manufacturers...at least they must be able to sell cars produced in their own country to foreign countries."

This requirement is really a bit embarrassing for Guqi Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., maybe it is possible in a few years? Uncle Wang thought about it with insufficient confidence and returned to the previous issue. "But some leaders believe that Volkswagen actively helps you to coordinate the participation of the Sao Paulo International Auto Show in Brazil. This is a signal of kindness sent by Volkswagen to your company. Volkswagen has made considerable contributions to the development of the automobile industry in the Republic. If Volkswagen rejects its kindness, it will make our old friends sad."

Those who can be called "leader" by Uncle Wang, based on their fingers, really don't have many people. They dare not say that they can count with two hands, but there are definitely not many. However, Lin Hongfei obviously lacks the necessary respect for these leaders who care about "old friends of the Republic". He snorted and said, "In order not to make our old friends sad, should we make our company lose money?"

"Puff..." Wang Dabo, who was drinking water, was choked by Lin Hongfei's words, and sprayed out a mouthful of tea without hesitation, and his image was suddenly lost. Fortunately, there was no one in his office now, so he didn't want his image to be seen at this moment. While wiping the water marks on the table in a hurry, he said to Lin Hongfei angrily, "This is the idea of ​​the leaders. Can you refuse? Are you qualified to refuse?!"

What this said...why is it so real?

But Lin Hongfei had to admit that although this was true, it revealed the key to this matter in one sentence: Since this matter has received the attention of some senior leaders, participating in the Brazilian Sao Paulo International Auto Show is not a simple business event. To some extent, this matter has been raised to a political level. Regardless of whether Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are willing or not, they must participate... Although this sounds ridiculous and nonsensical, there is no way, this is politics. Damn politics!

"So we have to attend this auto show?" Lin Hongfei's voice sounded a little weak. Anyone who knew that there was a trap full of bamboo thorns in front of him, and someone behind him was pushing him into the trap, and he was afraid that he would not be in a good mood. At this time, Lin Hongfei couldn't control so much, and couldn't help but complain, "Didn't those leaders think about why Volkswagen suddenly helped us so enthusiastically? There was no conspiracy here? Even the Internationale sang 'There has never been a savior'. Have we suffered few losses since the founding of the People's Republic of China? Why can't these leaders see this clearly?"

Tsk... Wang Dabo suddenly had a headache: He knew that his third brother's son-in-law was not ordinary rebellious, but he didn't expect that this kid was so rebellious that he could even complain to him, leader?

Uncle Wang was wrong. Strictly speaking, this has exceeded the level of indifference. Indifference is just a few words in his stomach. Lin Hongfei has already accused the IQ level of the top leaders in front of senior state leaders... To a certain extent, Lin Hongfei made a serious political mistake. With these words alone, if Lin Hongfei had been criticized as a demon 15 years ago, he could have been beaten to be a monster.

"What's the use of saying this?" Uncle Wang was in a bad mood and naturally didn't get angry. "Even if Volkswagen didn't have good intentions, the leaders think this is a good thing. What can you do? What can I do?"

Lin Hongfei was choked to death!

Since the leader insisted that Volkswagen learned from Lei Feng to do good deeds and wanted to use this method to turn wars with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. into jade, then as a small deputy department-level cadre, what can I do? I want to use my thin little arm to keep my elephant legs from the leader? Don’t be funny!

"Anyway, since things have been like this, you think Volkswagen doesn't have any good intentions, so you should prepare early. Isn't it still almost half a year before the Brazilian Sao Paulo International Auto Show? Can't you think of a way to deal with it for such a long time? Well, that's it. You have to attend this auto show, and you have to attend it even if you don't attend it. This is a political task!" Uncle Wang, who was so angry that he was speechless by Lin Hongfei, finished speaking, and without waiting for Lin Hongfei to speak, he hung up the phone immediately... He was really worried that he would be angry with him if he said a few words to Lin Hongfei, a little bastard.

"Lao Luo, did you see it?" Lin Hongfei looked at the beeping phone, then looked at Rostock, who had been listening to his uncle Wang with his ears prickly listening to him and Uncle Wang, with a wry smile and helplessness on his face.

"See," Rostock's face wrinkled like bitter gourd, muttering, "Damn politics! I like democracy!"

"If democracy is, it will be even more troublesome. Maybe Volkswagen can kill us with money and fight with Volkswagen, who has more money? I really don't see any hope of winning," Lin Hongfei said to Rostock bluntly, "It's better to play politics. At least we don't have any political resources... Lao Luo, you are busy next."

Rostock knew what Lin Hongfei meant, and he sighed, "Lin, I must say, it's really a painful thing to get your salary."

"Isn't this the reason why you came to me?" Lin Hongfei blinked at Rostock and laughed.
