Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 358 Win-win cooperation
In order to make this happen, Ren Zhong had to accompany Liang Xiaofeng on a trip to Nigeria.

After all, the influence and strength of Yunlong Agricultural Vehicles are slightly mismatched with this matter, but with a sucker willing to invest, things will be much better.

Golden Gate Hotel, Lagos.

Although this six-story hotel is not very eye-catching compared to the skyscrapers in China, but for the tens of thousands of Dragon people making a living in Nigeria, this is indeed the most famous place in the whole of West Africa.

Because this is the origin of Chief Hu's wealth and it is also the place where he has lived for a long time.

A pair of white marble lions at the entrance of the hotel indicate that this is a Chinese restaurant from the East. An entire floor of the restaurant is used as a restaurant, which is magnificently decorated. It is said that this is one of the most luxurious restaurants in Nigeria and a leader in Chinese cuisine.

Many dignitaries are proud to entertain guests here.

In the Fugui private room, Liang Xiaofeng and Ren Zhong welcomed the owner of the hotel before long.

"Hello, Mr. Hu. I'm Liang Xiaofeng from Yunlong Agricultural Vehicle. You can just call me Xiao Liang. The person next to me is Mr. Ren Zhongren from Gangcheng Yunlong Investment. Mr. Ren is very optimistic about the black-African market and has high confidence in the future of our company. That's why he came with me to conduct a field survey of the Nigerian market this time. He plans to invest in our company, open a factory in Nigeria, and take root here for long-term development." This was not the first time Liang Xiaofeng came to Nigeria, and of course he had heard of Mr. Hu's name, but before that it was only about the sale of agricultural vehicles, and he had never dealt with Mr. Hu. This time, after a brief appointment with Mr. Hu, the other party readily agreed to meet for a detailed discussion.

"Hello, Mr. Liang and Mr. Ren. I am very happy to see two young talents from my home country. Please take a seat and talk." Mr. Hu is a bit old, with a high hairline. He has a square face and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looks quite elegant. He speaks in a clear and loud voice, without being distracted by Hei Fei's rap English at all. He makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze and there is not much sense of strangeness.

"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit us." Ren Zhong said as he smiled and shook hands with Mr. Hu who extended his hand. The three of them sat down and began to exchange pleasantries and talk about what was happening around them while waiting for the food and drinks to be served.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was a little tipsy and their conversation became more relaxed.

"Brother Liang, you mentioned on the phone before about cooperating to develop agricultural vehicles. I don't know how to explain it. Brother Liang, why don't you tell me in detail." At the dinner table, everyone quickly became familiar with each other, and Mr. Hu also began to treat Liang Xiaofeng and Ren Zhong as brothers.

"Brother Hu, here's the thing. As you know, our Yunlong agricultural vehicle company specializes in export business. Currently, our main export is to Africa, of which Nigeria accounts for nearly half. I was thinking that the tariffs and transportation costs of the whole vehicle are quite expensive. It would be better to find a place in Africa to open a whole vehicle factory. After investigation, our company believes that West Africa is more suitable. On the one hand, our main market is here, and on the other hand, it is relatively stable here."

"Of course, this stability is relative. Compared with the domestic market, it is not very stable. So we want to find a local partner with strength to do this together. Of course, it would be best if the partner is familiar with our work style and is willing to work together to make this market bigger and stronger. After much selection, Brother Hu is very famous and has a great reputation in West Africa. So I took the liberty to contact Brother Hu to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation. Now, we are sitting together today."

"It's really fate. It just so happens that our company's investment and financial director, Brother Zhongren, also recognized our black-non-Chinese development plan and decided to make additional investments to develop this market. Isn't this a coincidence? We all thought of the same thing."

Liang Xiaofeng gave a brief account of the situation.

Mr. Hu did not find it strange after hearing this. After all, if one came to West Africa to develop a business of a certain scale, who wouldn’t know him?
It was only natural for Liang Xiaofeng to choose him as a candidate partner.

"Thank you for your recognition, Brother Liang. After listening to what you said, I, Old Hu, asked someone to study the market and found that there is great potential. The West African Community now has a population of nearly 4 million, of which Nigeria accounts for a little more than half. From the perspective of the current situation, this area is relatively stable, and the market and the current situation are suitable for your investment. From the perspective of the automobile market, the West African Community started late and is now similar to the early s in Longguo, but the development speed is fast, and there are great regional differences and many levels of consumption. Agricultural vehicles are simply a necessity for local people with underdeveloped public transportation. Compared with spending thousands of yuan to buy a motorcycle, agricultural vehicles worth thousands of yuan have a wider range of uses. One vehicle can solve the transportation, transportation and even operation of a family. You have seized this opportunity very firmly."

It seems that Mr. Hu has done some research and knows the local situation very well. Although the technology of agricultural vehicles is average and the grade is not high, the market demand is huge. You have to know that there are hundreds of millions of consumers here who have just escaped from the stage of hunger. The most important thing for them is to move up through various paths.

Agricultural vehicles are tools that clearly have the dual attributes of being both a means of livelihood and a means of household transportation.

Mr. Hu has learned about the local sales and reputation of Yunlong agricultural vehicles, and even experienced them himself. It is indeed the price of an electric car with the enjoyment of a car, if you don’t consider the comfort. In terms of quality, it is indeed durable. A one-ton vehicle can easily pull three or four tons. For a country like Nigeria that doesn’t even have a full traffic police force, this is a good car!
"I have no objection to cooperation. We will each invest half and make half of the profit. Brother Liang will provide the technology and we will develop the market. This is also fair. Next, the construction of after-sales channels will be undertaken by our Kinmen Group. In the future, we will start with agricultural vehicles and continue to build real cars. The automobile manufacturing industry in Longguo is also good. Hybrid vehicles are also very suitable for our West African country. I hope we can open up the market through cooperation in agricultural vehicles."

Ren Zhong didn't say anything, just nodded. To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in becoming bigger and stronger in the main world. Although he could continuously transport some treasures from the Bright Sword world to the main world for cash, he has basically reached a bottleneck now. Cashing in tens of billions a year is almost the limit.

Whether it is celebrity calligraphy and paintings or top-quality jadeite, the resources of the two worlds will not overlap, but the market's ability to take over this aspect is indeed limited.

He wanted to transfer the technology of the main world to the world of Bright Sword, not that he could lead the trend in the main world.

Therefore, just listen to Mr. Hu's suggestion. If it can be done, then do it. If it cannot be done, then the 10 million is equivalent to the cost of investing in the technology of the two fighter jets.

You know, in the world of Bright Sword, the A-4 attack aircraft and the F-4 fighter are both truly powerful weapons with generational differences!
Whether it is the level of avionics, engines, radars and other technical levels, they are far ahead of the current level of the world of Bright Sword (equivalent to 49 years in the parallel world).

Therefore, his biggest goal is to deal with these two fighter jets, and the rest are just additional things.

Since Mr. Hu is still full of aspirations, Ren Zhong certainly won't spoil his mood at this time.

Mr. Hu's Kinmen Group now also has a mechanical processing industry, but for a manufacturing powerhouse, their technical level is only limited to doing supporting work.

They are all private enterprises and there are not so many red tapes. After they were optimistic about the opportunity, the two parties quickly signed a cooperation agreement. For Mr. Hu, he has built a good reputation for decades and it is impossible for him to ruin his reputation in this business, so the cooperation agreement is a win-win situation. In addition, Ren Zhong did not care too much about who was in charge and who was subordinate, so everyone got the job done happily.

In accordance with local tradition, a group of dignitaries were invited to the Golden Gate Hotel to witness the founding ceremony of the new Yunlong (West Africa) Automobile Industry Company.

This immediately increased Yunlong Automobile's popularity among senior executives.
