The mobile phone was passed around by the foremen, and everyone saw the photos. There were pictures and the truth. People who didn't believe it at first also believed it.

"If I could pay cash immediately, I would have to buy a suitcase to carry the money!"

"Don't forget, there will be bonuses for finishing ahead of schedule. You have to buy a bigger one."

"This is the first time I met such a conscientious Party A. I went home to pack my luggage and will be living on the construction site this month!"

"That makes sense. If you can settle the bill as soon as it's finished, it's worth living on the construction site for a month!"

…

Norwood-Jewell came to Congressman Menendez's office.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Menendez asked: "Has the management of Bemher Factory been contacting you?"

"Not yet." Norwood-Jewell shook his head and continued: "But I believe it won't take them long!"

"I have received news here that Jaguar Land Rover has applied to Chinese officials to set up a factory in China. The location is in the Yangtze River Delta region, China's commercial center. They really have plans to move the factory. We want to

Don't lower some conditions appropriately." Menendez said with a serious face.

Norwood-Jewell frowned: "As far as I know, China does not allow automobile companies to build factories as sole proprietors. They must form joint ventures with local Chinese automobile companies, and the shareholding ratio of foreign capital cannot exceed 50%."

"Jaguar Land Rover has indeed found a joint venture company called byd. He heard that Buffett is very optimistic about this company." Menendez paused and then said: "Jaguar Land Rover has even found a joint venture partner. It seems that

They had indeed planned to move the factory."

Norwood-Jewell thought for a few seconds and then asked: "When did you get this news?"

"The local local government submitted an application to build a factory on Monday this week. It is said that Chinese officials attach great importance to it and welcome automobile companies to invest in building factories, so they immediately entered the project approval process," Menendez added.

The general details were introduced.

The establishment of a luxury car company cannot be concealed. This kind of investment promotion project is also good news for the local area. The relevant information can be learned through many public channels. And the U.S. intelligence system dominates the world. Menendez

It's not difficult to get some information.

After listening to Menendez's introduction, Norwood-Jewell breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Even if the employer really plans to move the factory, it has just entered the project approval process.

The approval of such a project takes more than half a year! Even after the project approval is completed, there are still a series of steps such as planning, land acquisition, and factory construction.

The other thing is that the land planning and land acquisition alone will take three years at the fastest, so the Bemher factory cannot be moved in a short period of time. I guess the employer deliberately released such news in order to

Take the initiative in negotiations. We must not be fooled. If we give in now, we will definitely fall into the employer’s trick!"

Menendez nodded, agreeing with Norwood-Jewell's point of view.

Many U.S. congressmen are lawyers and know nothing about the manufacturing industry. When encountering similar problems, they can only rely on the judgment of professional staff. Therefore, at this time, Menendez could only trust Norwood Jewell.

Professionals.

According to American standards, there is no problem with Norwood-Jewell's judgment. If a factory were to be built in the United States, it would take three years to plan and acquire land, which would be considered fast.

This is not a problem of work efficiency, but a problem of the land system. In a country with private land ownership, land acquisition is inherently troublesome, and one single household can delay the entire project for several years.

Countries with a federal system are even more troublesome. The situation in each place is different. What the central government says is not listened to by the local government. In a place like Texas, where everyone has a gun, the hard-core households dare to set up a few machine guns in front of their homes.

, the National Guard must be weighed when they come.

After all, Norwood-Jewell is an American and has no understanding of the advantages of state ownership of land, let alone the efficiency of infrastructure madness.

…

The project manager knocked on Ma Bin's office with an anxious look on his face.

The project he was responsible for has been completed and passed the acceptance inspection. Now it is time to settle the project payment. Although Party A had promised to settle the payment in cash, the project manager was still a little uneasy when it came time to ask for money.

After all, in this industry, there are many people who don’t keep their words.

After a while, the project manager walked out of Ma Bin's office. Several construction captains and foremen were already waiting there, and they immediately surrounded him.

"Manager Wang, how are you? Did Party A give you the money?" the construction team leader asked eagerly.

The project manager took a deep breath: "Here you go, Mr. Ma has signed it, let's go get the money now!"

The construction team leader and contractor immediately cheered.

The mountain of one billion cash was missing a corner and fell into the hands of the project manager. After the project manager got the money, he also directly settled the accounts with his construction team leaders and contractors.

It won't work if you don't settle the bill. These construction captains and contractors will watch you receive the project payment and have the cash in front of you. If you don't settle the bill or use a second-hand car to pay off the debt, the project manager will be very disappointed.

Eighty-nine times he would have to be beaten.

There is no shortage of bold and daring contractors who can take over projects. Some people have the words "courageous and ruthless" imprinted in their bones. If you dare not pay, they will really give you a brick.

What's more, when it comes to things like project funds, everyone must be working hard and competing to be the first. In the blink of an eye, the project manager's cash has been reduced by more than half.

The news that the project manager had received cash quickly spread, and it involved real money. Even the most indifferent people would inquire carefully.

Knowing that Party A really settled in cash and paid so easily, the other project managers, construction team leaders and contractors finally cleared away the last trace of doubt in their minds.

This effect is like Shang Yang's establishment of trust. As long as the first money is given out happily, others will believe it.

On the day after the payment was made, the number of construction equipment and construction workers on the construction site increased significantly.

Everyone is thinking about completing the project as quickly as possible and settling the project payment quickly.

It's not easy to meet a naive Party A who gives you money happily. If Party A comes to his senses and regrets not giving the cash, it will be a big loss. So you have to take advantage of Party A's still naive state.

Get the money in your hands quickly and be safe.

In order to complete the project as soon as possible, various construction teams and contractors have also provided extra bonuses to encourage front-line construction workers. The bonus does not need to be too much, and an extra fifty yuan a day can be used by migrant workers to eat.

Work with the strength of milk.

Based on the profit margin of the engineering industry, an extra fifty yuan per worker will not increase the cost much. Compared with the smooth settlement of the project payment, this cost is nothing at all.

The construction party was willing to invest resources, and the workers were willing to work hard. The progress of the construction suddenly rose to a higher level.

The infrastructure maniac slowly revealed his sharp fangs!

…

Norwood-Jewell, United Auto Workers of America, received a call from Behmhel's union.

"Mr. Jewell, something bad has happened. The management has called in a group of engineers. They are going to dismantle the factory's production lines!" said the other end of the phone hurriedly.

"Dismantle the production line? Are they really going to move the factory? This is impossible! They have nowhere to move!" Norwood-Jewell thought this was a lie.

"Mr. Jewell, it's true. According to what I know, the management has already formulated a transportation plan. It is said that even the transportation space on the freighter has been reserved!" continued the other end of the phone.

"Don't be anxious, let me understand the situation first!" Jewell put down the phone and began to think.

"It's impossible. Even if the employer wants to move the factory, it can't be done so quickly! A new factory will take four to five years at the earliest to be built, and it's only been four or five months! The project may not be approved! This is certain

It's a little trick played by the employer to gain a negotiating advantage." Norwood-Jewell said to himself.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang again. Norwood-Jewell borrowed the phone. The other party was Menendez's assistant.

"Mr. Jewell, Menendez Hospital has just received a piece of news about the construction of a Jaguar Land Rover factory. I have sent the news link to your email. Please take a look at it immediately."

Norwood-Jewell agreed and immediately called his email address. There was indeed a news link, which was a report from the English version of Xinhuanet.

Norwood-Jewell clicked on the link, and an English title immediately appeared in front of him:

Jaguar Land Rover's China factory is about to be completed!
Chapter completed!
