Chapter 2176 A strong general has no weak soldiers
Kundi looked at Dova with some confusion and said, "I once led a team to China for research, so I would say I have a fairly good understanding of China."
Dova nodded. "Since you understand China, you should know the extent of China's aid to Africa over the years. We in Ser have also received a lot of aid from China over the years, especially in agriculture. They taught us how to grow rice, corn, sweet potatoes, and so on."
"Otherwise, even more people would starve to death in our country every year."
Kundi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "That's true. We are well aware of the help China has given us."
Dova added, "As for Japan, South Korea, and India, although they shout slogans loudly, very little of it is actually put into practice. Their goal has always been very simple: to exchange our resources for very little benefit."
"Mr. Kundy, the Meichuan Iron Mine is crucial to the success of our country's economic diversification. Therefore, when choosing partners, we cannot just look at verbal promises, but rather at their sincerity."
"It's easy to write down terms, but what's the point of writing them down if they can't be implemented?"
In Kundy's mind, Jingxi Steel had already been eliminated. The Mellen family of Country E withdrew voluntarily due to the mysterious disappearance of Duke Mellen.
Currently, the only truly competitive companies are China's Guanghui Group, Japan's Sanyu Metals, and South Korea's Jung Steel.
Among these three companies, Zheng's Ironworks was the last choice.
In other words, only if negotiations with Guanghui Group and Shanyou Metals break down will Zheng's Iron & Steel be considered.
Between Guanghui Group and Shanyou Metal, Kundi leans towards Shanyou Metal.
The reason is simple: Shanyou Metals not only has strong financial resources, but also boasts world-class technology.
In his understanding, Shanyou Metals' technology must be superior to that of Guanghui Group.
After all, Guanghui Group mainly focuses on new energy development. Although it has also ventured into mining, it has not done so on a large scale.
Once the Meichuan iron ore mine is mined, it will undoubtedly be one of the top three super iron ore mines in all of Africa.
However, Shanyou Metals' attitude was really tough, and they refused to budge on the technology transfer issue. Moreover, they were quite insistent on maintaining a controlling stake.
His original plan was to use Jingxi Steel to provoke Shanyou Metal, Guanghui Group, and Zhengshi Iron & Steel.
But now it seems that only Zheng's Ironworks is getting impatient.
This is also because the Zheng family urgently needs a project to boost their company's stock price and increase market confidence.
Three days later, Kundy will continue negotiations with Sanyu Metals and Guanghui Group. He even considered using Guanghui Group to suppress Sanyu Metals and force Miyazaki Kotaro to agree to their conditions.
However, he did not expect that Minister Dova, who had been recuperating at home due to a serious illness, would suddenly invite him here.
Although Dova didn't say it explicitly, as Dova's subordinate, how could he not understand Dova's meaning?
After listening to Minister Dova's words, Kundi nodded and said with great agreement, "Mr. Dova is right. These are indeed things we should consider. Mr. Dova, I have already made up my mind, but I still insist on announcing the results in three days."
Dova's eyes flickered, and he gave Kundi a somewhat solemn look.
"The friendship between China and us has a long history. I hope Mr. Kundy will not disappoint our old friend."
In the end, Dova simply said this very seriously.
Kundi said, "Mr. Dova, rest assured, I will carefully consider the cooperation with Meichuan Iron Mine. I will not be careless for the sake of our country's economic development."
"Well, alright then. Mr. Kundy, how about we go play a few rounds?"
Dova didn't say anything more and extended an invitation.
"Okay, I'll accompany Mr. Dova for a bit of exercise..."
The two got up and went to the teeing area, took the clubs from the caddie, and started playing.
Pi Yangyang knew that this was Duwa deliberately leaving space for him and Gao Changyuan to continue discussing their conversation.
"Chairman Gao, these two have been talking for so long, it seems like they've said everything, but it also seems like they haven't said anything at all." Xu Guangda looked at Dova and Kundi's figures and said with some suspicion, "What exactly do they mean?"
Gao Changyuan smiled slightly, turned to look at Pi Yangyang, and asked, "What does Mr. Pi think?"
Pi Yangyang said, "These people in high positions like to speak ambiguously, and no one makes a clear statement. Actually, it's understandable, after all, it's such a big matter, and if something goes wrong, they will have to take responsibility."
"However, I think Mr. Kundy's decision is probably similar to ours."
Gao Changyuan laughed heartily, "It seems we share the same view. In that case, let's wait patiently for three days."
Xu Guangda asked in surprise, "What do you mean? You two mean that Kundy has decided to choose us?"
A resolute glint flashed in Gao Changyuan's eyes as he decisively stated, "With Mr. Pi here, this matter is basically a done deal. Once we get back, all members should immediately prepare a detailed analysis of the contract terms to avoid being caught off guard."
Xu Guangda was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "There's finally hope! Okay, I'll organize a meeting as soon as I get back..."
Gao Changyuan glanced at Qiu Haitang standing not far away and asked, "Mr. Pi, is that Ms. Qiu your group's legal director?"
Pi Yangyang nodded and said, "Yes, she's from Chu Nan, and her name is Qiu Haitang. In Chu Nan, she's known as the top lawyer."
"He's clearly shrewd and capable," Gao Changyuan said with a sigh of relief. "It seems a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command!"
Pi Yangyang smiled and said modestly, "You flatter me."
"Let her be involved in finalizing this contract. That way, we can minimize the chances of making mistakes."
Gao Changyuan thought for a moment and then said.
Pi Yangyang said, "Yes, that's why I brought her here. She's very meticulous; she personally reviews all of our company's overseas contracts."
The two agreed and got up to go to the teeing course to take two shots.
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Pi, I have prepared a banquet for noon. As friends, we welcome you to invest in our country."
Seeing Pi Yangyang and Gao Changyuan walk away, Duwa said happily.
The two agreed and played ball with Dova and Kundi.
…………
In the hotel, Kotaro Miyazaki was somewhat restless.
He had never experienced anything like this since arriving in Karl.
He made ample preparations for the Meichuan Iron Mine. Months in advance, he had bribed one of Kundi's associates at a high price.
He treated it as a joke when the people from Jingxi Steel were opening champagne today.
Because he knew that Meichuan Iron Mine would never choose to cooperate with Jingxi Steel.
He learned from people close to Kundy that Kundy valued Shanyou Metal the most.
Because Shanyou Metals has a strong background and is a strategic partner of the J country, it possesses world-leading steel smelting and mining technologies.
It's not surprising that Kotaro Miyazaki knew what Kundy was thinking.
But this gave him enough confidence that he would stick to his bottom line at the negotiating table.
I can give you the money, but with interest.
It's impossible to hire a large number of local employees.
Don't even think about technology transfer.
Technology is the foundation of the Miyazaki family's confidence. Only by mastering the technology can they maintain a leading position in the industry.
He firmly believes that the decision three days later will mean that Meichuan Iron Mine will restart negotiations with Shanyou Metals, Guanghui Group, and Zhengshi Iron & Steel.
And the final decision will definitely be to choose Shanyou Metal.
But now he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Pi Yangyang, Gao Changyuan, and the others suddenly and inexplicably left the hotel and disappeared without a trace.
Zheng's Ironworks has been in contact with Kundi and has been pressuring the Karl authorities through the consulate, but has been unable to get a positive response from Kundi.
This is very strange.
He vaguely sensed that Gao Changyuan and Pi Yangyang left the hotel to secretly meet with Kundi.
Just as he was waiting anxiously, Inukai Akatsuki's phone suddenly rang.
He immediately stared nervously at Inukai Akahō.
Inukai Akashō immediately answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.
“Mr. Inukai, Mr. Kundy is currently at the golf course at the Pad Hotel.” A deep voice came from the phone. “Mr. Gao Changyuan of the Glorious Group and Mr. Pi Yangyang of the Yan Group are also here at the invitation of Minister Dova…”
