Chapter 1042 Sincerity
Although he was somewhat complacent, Zhang Qihang was still very clear-headed, he shook his head and said, "There is no reason for His Excellency Minister Khalil to visit me, and it is reasonable that I should take the initiative to visit His Excellency the Minister. "

When Samor Zamlik heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Is that so... that's fine, then shall I inform Your Excellency Minister of this situation?"

Obviously, looking at this matter from the perspective of the Syrians, Minister Khalil took the initiative to visit Zhang Qihang, and Zhang Qihang took the initiative to visit Minister Khalil, which represented a completely different meaning.

Zhang Qihang waved his hand and said, "No, I'll contact Your Excellency the Minister personally. This is also a respect for His Excellency the Minister."

"..."

Samuel Zamlik nodded again and again with a smile on his face.

But immediately, Samor Zamlik hesitated, and then asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, when you visit Minister Khalil, can you take me with you?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Qihang raised his eyebrows, a little curious why Samuel Zamlik made such a request.

"This..." Samor Zamlik said with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency has taken good care of me, and I hope to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to him."

"Is that so..."

Glancing at Samor Zamlik, who was obviously not telling the truth, Zhang Qihang was clear about what kind of doctrine this guy was playing in his heart, but after pondering for a while, Zhang Qihang still said: "I can talk to you The staff of Minister Khalil’s office mentioned this matter, but whether you can go or not depends on the arrangement of the other party.”

Hearing this, Samuel Zamlik was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "That's enough, that's enough...Zhang, thank you, thank you very much..."

Zhang Qihang smiled and waved his hands, saying that it was okay, but he began to wonder why Samuel Zamlik was so eager to follow him to visit Minister Khalil—at first, Zhang Qihang thought that Samuel Zamlik was so eager to follow him to visit Minister Khalil. Zamlik wanted to take this opportunity to hug his thigh, but judging from the current situation, it seems a bit out of character...

........................

The staff of Minister Samir Khalil's office had apparently received the order. After Zhang Qihang's phone call, they were extremely enthusiastic. After Zhang Qihang revealed that he wanted to visit His Excellency the Minister, the other party readily agreed. , saying that Zhang Qihang is the best friend of Minister Khalil, and he will immediately ask the minister about this matter to see how to arrange it next.

As for the matter of bringing Samor Zamlik, the other party agreed very happily. After Zhang Qihang made this request, the other party agreed without hesitation, saying that he would ask Minister Khalil for instructions.

Less than half an hour later, the other party called again, saying that Minister Khalil was very happy after learning the news that Zhang Qihang was coming, and said that if Zhang Qihang had time tomorrow afternoon, His Excellency the Minister could specially Putting off two important meetings and coming to have an interview with Zhang Qihang... The meaning behind the words is that he hugged Zhang Qihang and shouted "God of Wealth, come quickly!".

Zhang Qihang was not hypocritical, and immediately set a time to meet Minister Khalil.

Seeing Zhang Qihang again, Samir Khalil was a little more enthusiastic than before. When shaking hands, the force was obviously much stronger: "Zhang, I am so happy to see you."

"Me too," Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and said to Samir Khalil, "Your Excellency, you still seem to be in good spirits."

Samir Khalil smiled happily: "Really? Hehe..."

It's no wonder that Samir Khalil is so enthusiastic about Zhang Qihang. In fact, when he visited Huaxia last year, the curious Chinese officials inquired about the situation of Huateng Industrial Group, and only then did they know that the Huateng Industrial Group was engaged in an operation in Syria. The Huateng Industrial Group, a motorcycle assembly factory, has much influence in China, and the Huateng Industrial Group is a huge enterprise. As the head of the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Development, Samir Khalil is responsible for developing the economy. After knowing the news of Zhang Qihang's arrival, Samir Khalil naturally asked Zhang Qihang to have a good chat.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Samir Khalil asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I heard from Zamlik that your heavy truck group is going to develop the Middle East market? As a friend, if you need us If you want to help, please be sure to speak up."

really!

Hearing Samir Khalil's words, Zhang Qihang confirmed the Syrian government's small calculation: They really came for the Sinotruk Group.

This is indeed the case. After learning that Mr. Zhang of Huateng Industrial Group is also the general manager of a heavy-duty truck manufacturing company in Huaxia, and this company called Heavy-duty Truck Manufacturing Group also intends to enter the Syrian market, and plans to use Syria as a After the springboard entered the entire Middle East and North Africa, he was even happier: If the cooperation between the two parties can be reached, can Zhang Qihang build a heavy truck manufacturing plant in Syria?
It is not extravagant to ask Zhang Qihang to produce all the core components in Syria. Even some corners and corners can bring a lot of jobs and after-tax to Syria, right?

It is precisely because of this that Samir Khalil said that he would visit Zhang Qihang in person—he didn't really want to visit Zhang Qihang, but he was just expressing his attitude in this way.

"Thank you, Minister." Zhang Qihang thanked Samir Khalil with a smile, and then said: "The friends in Syria are very enthusiastic, and you have provided us with a lot of help in the past few days."

"This is what it should be. The Syrian people have always been a nation and country that is extremely enthusiastic about their friends," Samir Khalil nodded with a smile, then changed the subject and asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. In a word, how is your heavy truck group planning to enter the Syrian market this time? Or import complete vehicles?"

Facing the football kicked by Samir Khalil, Zhang Qihang lightly kicked it back, and asked Samir Khalil politely: "In the early stage of market development, it is definitely impossible for us to achieve localization. Production...Your Excellency, I understand what you mean by asking me to come here, you want us Sinotruk Group to open a factory in your country, right?"

"Yes."

Now that we have talked about this, Samir Khalil will naturally not deny it. He looked at Zhang Qihang and nodded affirmatively, with a bit of oppression in his eyes: "We hope that the school's Huateng Motorcycle will succeed. , to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, what do you think, Mr. Zhang?"

An ordinary person might not be able to bear the pressure in Samir Khalil's eyes, but who is Zhang Qihang?To put it bluntly, the population of Syria is only over 1000 million, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the province of Lu. The total population is about the same as the population of Shungeng City or Qindao City. In simple conversion, Samir Khalil The current position is roughly equivalent to the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau in Shungeng City or Qindao City... Can the existence of this level bring pressure to Zhang Qihang?

What a mess!

So in the face of Samir Khalil's pressure, Zhang Qihang didn't care at all. He nodded slightly: "If we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, that would of course be the best result, but Mr. Minister, with all due respect, with your country's 1000 With a population base of more than [-] and a market size, I am afraid that it cannot support a heavy-duty automobile manufacturing company."

Seeing that his pressure didn't work, Samir Khalil was a little bit unwilling to give up. He thought about it, frowned and asked Zhang Qihang: "If you count the entire Middle East and North Africa? ?”

Hearing Samir Khalil's words, Zhang Qihang laughed immediately: "If we really reach a certain point, we can indeed set up an automobile assembly plant in the Middle East, but the problem is that we must first develop the scale of the enterprise to It’s just this size.”

Samir Khalil was still not reconciled, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Then... what if it's just a car assembly plant? It should be fine, right?"

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "Mr. Minister, I actually understand what you mean very well. You hope that our Huateng Industrial Group can open at least one heavy-duty vehicle assembly plant in Syria. On the one hand, this plant can provide employment, public transportation Taxation, on the other hand, even if Syria can only provide a part of industrial support, it can also drive a lot of employment and taxation, which is very beneficial to Syria's economic development, right?"

"Yes."

Samir Khalil nodded. Naturally, he has nothing to criticize. He is performing government functions.

Zhang Qihang sighed and said: "Mr. Minister, you are the head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Development of Syria. You know the economy very well. You should be able to understand that when we first entered your country's market, we could not Such a large sum of money is opposed to investment. Only when we have made money in Syria and found that the entire Middle East market is promising, and we continue to insist on the previous policy of transporting vehicles for sales will not reduce costs, but will increase costs. Looking for a suitable country in the Middle East and even North Africa to build a factory, so it's too early to say this... Do you understand me when I say this?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qihang added: "As the person in charge of the company, I must be responsible for the company I work for."

Samir Khalil's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "So, it's not that you have no plans to build a factory in Syria, but you want to wait until the time is right before deciding whether to build a factory in Syria. Is that so?"

Zhang Qihang smiled wryly and nodded: "That's right."

"That's all right,"

What Samir Khalil was waiting for was Zhang Qihang's words!

He waved his hand and said excitedly: "If one day in the future, Mr. Zhang, your company decides to reduce costs through local production, please definitely consider our Syria! Our Syria will definitely give the most favorable investment to build a factory Conditions, okay?"

Hearing Samir Khalil's words, Zhang Qihang was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing wryly: Or was it plotted, is the co-author Samir Khalil waiting for me here? !
The wry smile turned into a wry smile, Zhang Qihang still nodded cheerfully: "Of course no problem! Our cooperation with your government has always been very pleasant, and your country is also very supportive of our group. In this case, Syria must be our first investment in the Middle East." prior choice."

Yes, it wasn't until this time that Zhang Qihang realized the plan of the Syrian government!

Samir Khalil and even the entire Syrian government understand very well that it is unrealistic for China National Heavy Duty Truck Group to invest and build factories in Syria now, so what they are seeking is just an investment priority: Your China National Heavy Duty Truck Group wants to invest in our factory. Syria makes money, we definitely have no objection and support it, and we in Syria will even support your move to develop the Middle East market, but in the future, if your Sinotruk Group plans to invest and build factories in the Middle East, you must give priority to us in Syria Ah... yes, what people want is a promise!
Of course, you said that if you agree now, you will build factories in other places in the future, okay?

Of course, no problem, people in Syria will not say anything, but in this way, your reputation in the world will be damaged. When you are a country... even if this country is just a small country with a population of only 1000 million people... you can say that you are a family When a company does not keep its word, can the company survive?
You can't do this kind of bad reputation!

Sure enough, after hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Samir Khalil, who understood that Zhang Qihang understood what he meant, also showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "With your words, I feel relieved... Zhang Sir, I wish your business will grow bigger and bigger in the Middle East and Africa!"

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "I accept your good words."

........................

The Syrian government is indeed very interesting. After getting a promise of "priority investment" from Zhang Qihang, the official in charge of procurement from the Syrian government came to the door the next day. Hou Ni's official asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your Sinotruk Group produces military trucks in addition to civilian trucks?"

Zhang Qihang was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded: "Yes, when our Sinotruk Group imported products and technologies from Steyr, we imported the products and technologies of the Steyr 91 series, including the military version. Steyr 91 truck."

"Then can you briefly introduce your military heavy trucks to me?" Taiwat Tahouni asked Zhang Qihang with great interest: "To tell you the truth, we need to update a batch of military heavy trucks in Syria. ...Of course, as you know, the size of our Syrian army is not large, so the number of military trucks updated this time will not be too many, that is, around 100."

Having said all this, what else does Zhang Qihang not understand?The "sincerity" of the Syrian government has been sent over.

It is only 100 military heavy trucks. Of course, this number is not a big deal, but the symbolism in it is of great significance. It means that the quality and performance of Sinotruk Steyr have been recognized by the Syrian government and army. The quality and performance of this Steyr car has been prepared to a certain extent by the Syrian government. This move is of great significance for Sinotruk Group to develop the market in the Middle East!

"Of course no problem," Zhang Qihang, who realized this, suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded and said to Taiwat Tahouni: "There are two types of Steyr military heavy trucks produced by our Sinotruk Group. It is a 6-ton medium-sized military truck with a 6*7 drive form, and a 8-ton heavy-duty military truck with an 8*15 drive form. It can not only meet the requirements of the troops for loading, driving and off-road capabilities, At the same time, it also has considerable advantages compared with competitors in terms of purchase cost and daily use cost."

"Huh?" After hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Taiwat Tahouni's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly confirmed to Zhang Qihang: "Do you have 6*6 and 8*8 military trucks?"

Taiwat Tahouni didn't know much about the development of China's military equipment, so he came here with the mentality of "complete the task" when he came to deliver the order to Zhang Qihang this time. There is also some resentment, thinking that some important person must have accepted the benefits of Huaxia Heavy Truck Group.

但当他听到张起航说重汽集团居然有7吨级6*6和15吨级8*8两种载重和驱动方式的军用重卡之后，他顿时就兴奋了：不管是6*6的中型军用卡车还是8*8的重型军用卡车，这可都是不折不扣的好东西，尤其是15吨级的8*8军用底盘，可以以这个底盘为基础，发展出来各种不同用途军用装备，哪怕是作为近程导弹的载具也是可以的。

Thinking of this, Taiwat Tahouni swept away his previously coping mentality, and hurriedly asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, can you introduce the basic situation of this 8*8 chassis in detail?"

The Syrian side is actually interested in this 8*8 heavy-duty military truck?

Zhang Qihang was a little puzzled, but since Taiwat Tahouni asked this question, of course he would not ask why, but nodded and said: "This 8*8 15-ton heavy truck adopts the WD615 series military-standard diesel engine is matched with Fast new S9 gearbox, Meijier centralized lubrication system, automatic gear shifting device, central automatic inflation and deflation system, ABS anti-lock braking system, etc.

It can adapt to the climate conditions of -40°C to +46°C and the plateau environment above 4000 meters above sea level, and its various performance indicators have reached the world advanced level of similar models today.

In addition, on the premise of meeting military standards, we have adopted a large number of ergonomic concepts and designs, which greatly improved the riding comfort of soldiers. A product that doesn't fall too far either. "
