Ji Weidong interjected from the side: "The cost of shipping a British car worth 597 pounds to the port city will be at least 500 pounds, which is not worth the gain."

"It's normal. Shipping is still an unconventional method for cars."

Parker nodded and said: "So I want to find a cooperation channel in the Far East with sufficient industrial foundation, low labor costs, and stable production environment."

"Obviously, the mainland has this, and the steel rolling mills have more obvious advantages."

He said frankly: "I have visited many companies, but they all have deep concerns about cooperative production and basically will not discuss cooperation with me."

"With export business restricted, I cannot guarantee enough costs to complete the distribution task."

Parker looked at Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu and said: "Your factory has the willingness to export and also has the channels and capabilities. It is my most ideal cooperation target."

"I very much hope to cooperate with you on this goal, but your opinion is not enough to support our decision."

Xue Zhifu said it very euphemistically, but clearly enough, and then turned the conversation over to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu picked up the wine bottle and poured half a glass of wine for the other party, which calmed the atmosphere.

Then he sat down and said, "I have a question for Mr. Parker. You are discussing cooperation with us in your personal capacity. How do you handle the relationship with Watsons and how do you give us full confidence?"

"Of course, there are good reasons for your doubts"

Parker nodded, paused, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Watson's is just a career for me, and it is also a career that I am willing to fight for and devote my whole life to."

"However, in the process of working hard, it does not prevent me from developing personal relationship business."

He explained: "I actually have many friends in various countries, and I want to connect them all with a career. The automobile industry is actually a project worth investing in."

“There is also a question of confidence”

Parker looked at Li Xuewu and replied seriously: "I can provide technology and equipment first. I will choose the most ideal automobile factory from the UK and move it here as a whole."

He made moving gestures with his hands, as simple as moving building blocks, which made everyone laugh.

Li Xuewu also smiled, shook his head slightly and said: "I think you have misunderstood, or you have not fully understood the production of Red Star Antelope cars."

He looked at Xue Zhifu and said: "Actually, we don't lack production equipment now, at least for now."

"That's true, Mr. Pike."

Xue Zhifu looked at Parker and said frankly: "Our assembly lines and production equipment have basically reached world-class levels, and only the assembly lines and core production parts".

"That's all?"

Parker frowned and asked: "How do you solve the production of parts? You don't have a huge automobile industry."

“We do, we just never connected”

Li Xuewu said very seriously: "This is what I want to tell you. The steel rolling mill has the magic weapon for cheap production, the supply chain system."

"Of course, this is actually already in use abroad, and is even standard. It's just that the foreign ones are too complicated."

"Here, we have many automobile factories with cheap production processes that do not require us to pay supervision costs."

Li Xuewu briefly introduced the differences in relationships between mainland and foreign manufacturing companies.

Parker did not understand this relationship, but that did not prevent him from seriously thinking about joint production technology under this model.

"So, what do you need?"

He frowned and said, "In other words, what is the basis on which we can achieve cooperation?"

"Technology, and key equipment"

Li Xuewu said seriously: "Cars can be cheap, but the technology must be high-end and precious. The cheaper the product, the greater the competitive pressure."

"You are right, but..."

Parker looked at the wine glass in his hand hesitantly, not knowing how to explain it.

Li Xuewu was very aware of his hesitation. He looked at Ji Weidong and then explained: "I want special steel smelting technology applied in the automobile industry, advanced welding technology, and research and development technology for engines and core components."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Too expensive"

Parker smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I move these things here, I won't be able to sell my car at all."

He looked sideways at Li Xuewu and said meaningfully: "You should understand what I mean."

"Of course, it's not your fault for being unpredictable."

Li Xuewu scorned the policies of some countries that restricted his own development, but did not show any regret.

"Now let's talk about the form of cooperation."

"that……"

Pike was a little surprised to see that Li Xuewu was so straightforward and didn't even care about his doubts just now and went directly to this level.

But then he realized that Li Xuewu must have found a way to break through the restrictions in the form of cooperation.

"Technology, core equipment, and R&D capabilities are three things, none of which can be missing."

Li Xuewu first talked about his needs, and then explained: "We will add car production processes and techniques to the assembly line. This part of the technology is crucial."

"How to transport technology and equipment to the mainland requires Mr. Parker's help, which is also the method of cooperation I want to talk about."

"Mr. Ji will register an automobile manufacturing company in Hong Kong City and need to purchase key technologies and equipment needed by the automobile industry."

He pointed at Ji Weidong and gave the first step of explanation.

Ji Weidong straightened up, looked at Parker and said, "The company has nothing to do with you, I guarantee that."

"You just need to help, make connections, and complete the purchase."

Li Xuewu further explained: "The remaining transfer of technology and equipment, as well as the technical investigations and penalties faced by the company, have nothing to do with you."

"Listen to me"

Just when Parker frowned and wanted to ask, Li Xuewu continued: "Mr. Ji will set up a car sales company in Hong Kong City and invite you to become a shareholder."

"This car sales company has no connection with the manufacturing company that was originally sanctioned, but it can introduce cheap cars from the mainland."

Li Xuewu looked at Pike, blinked, and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"...I seem to understand"

Pike frowned slightly and said: "However, I have not seen any rights and protections that I can have from this cooperation."

"Your investment will be used for the purchase of technology and equipment, so this is the guarantee you give us"

Li Xuewu retorted, and then said seriously: "The establishment of automobile sales companies will appear in the form of cooperation. This is the sales channel guarantee we need."

"etc!"

Parker frowned and said: "In other words, you took advantage of my identity and relationship in purchasing technology and equipment, and you suppressed my uncertainty in sales channels, right?"

"So to speak, unless you restart this negotiation as the general manager of Watsons"

Li Xuewu looked at Pike's unwillingness and smiled apologetically, but this was all he could talk about.

Pike looked at Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu with a troubled expression. Seeing that their attitudes were very clear, he knew that the negotiation had basically been finalized at this point.

Either continue to talk or overthrow everything.

But such cooperation made him uncomfortable. He even wanted to help the other party defraud high-end technology from the UK, which was completely cheating his own country.

With his status as the person involved, he will definitely be able to find the best price to complete the introduction of technology and equipment.

Pike curled his lips, looked at Li Xuewu and asked suspiciously: "If I agree to you, how would you describe my behavior in Chinese?"

No one expected him to ask this, and no one really knew how to answer it.

Zhou Xiaobai blinked and said tentatively: "Accomplice?"

"No!"
