ps: Brothers, today I will send two chapters in a row. In addition, I am really sorry, the power outage in the community has been released, so I will update it to everyone.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Chen Geng had never been to Iran's land. He only learned a little extremely inaccurate information through the media. For example, Iran was blocked by the Western world, which made it difficult for a country floating on oil to sell oil. In general, Iran gave Chen Geng the impression that the overall situation of this country was not good, but after getting off the plane, the scene in front of Chen Geng was shocked. Luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BM, Cadillac were everywhere on the street, and three super sports cars such as Porsche and Ferrari have passed at this moment, and the buildings on both sides of the road are also very good...

In short, as far as I see alone, Iran is definitely a country with a very high level of development.

What surprised Chen Geng the most was that he saw that the Iranian people walking on the road had a very good mental outlook. Everyone was very relaxed and did not feel that their country was sanctioned by the international community and was worried about the future. This was how Mohamed Ahmed explained to Chen Geng about this question...

"Repressed? No, no, we don't feel repressed. Americans are not friendly to us, but so what? Without the support of the United States, we Iran can live well. We are full of confidence in the future!" Waving this fist, Mohamed Ahmed said confidently: "We will make the Americans realize that Iran will never succumb to external pressure and bow to those damn bastards!"

He was in good spirits, and Chen Geng muttered in his heart.

However, Chen Geng chose to believe what Mohammed Ahmed said, because the Iranians' unyielding surrender has been proven by history. Even 30 years later, will Iran and the Americans not bow their heads?

In Chen Geng's view, this country can last for such a long time without being blocked by the entire Western society, which is not only very powerful, but also particularly valuable. But what is even more valuable is that even if it is blocked by the entire Western world, Iran's technological level has still developed considerably. For example, the fact that they "abducted" American stealth drones not only shocked the whole world, but also made the whole world admire Iran's technological level without a considerable technological level, so they cannot do this.

Of course, behind the rapid development of Iran's technology, what role has the Republic played in this? This is a rather intriguing question.

"Iran is a country worthy of respect for everyone," Chen Geng nodded with a smile and said to Mohammed Ahmed: "Mr. Ahmed, I have a question to ask."

"You said." Mohamed Ahmed said happily.

"I read some information. In Iran, the popularity of cars is only about 4%. Is it true?" Chen Geng asked.

Iran's automobile industry has limited information. Chen Geng searched for a long time before finding a document on Iran's domestic automobile industry a few years ago. This document mentioned that the automobile penetration rate in Iran is about 4%, which means that on average about every 25 people own one car. However, this information was from a few years ago. Chen Geng is not sure how it is now.

"Not 4%, about 3.6%, 3.7%," Mohamed Ahmed asked with some surprise: "What?"

"Oh, nothing," Chen Geng did not answer, and then asked: "How is the popularity of motorcycles in your country?"

"Motorcycle? Probably similar to a car," Mohamed Ahmed couldn't help but wonder why Chen Geng suddenly asked this question: "What?"

"I think we can cooperate in motorcycles in addition to cars," Chen Geng handed a promotional color page to Mohamed Ahmed, saying: "Our Runhua Industrial is not only one of the largest auto manufacturers in China, but also the largest motorcycle manufacturer in China. It has motorcycles of various uses such as two-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheel freight motorcycles and two-wheeled passenger motorcycles..."

Seeing the large cargo box-type tricycle on the promotional color page, Mohamed Ahmed was a little surprised and pointed to the picture and asked Chen Geng: "Mr. Chen, do you think your company has a motorcycle business?"

“…”

Chen Geng was speechless: "Mr. Ahmed, have you not seen the motorcycles we exhibited when you tell the truth at the Frankfurt International Auto Show?"

"You're also showing motorcycles?" Mohamed Ahmed grinned, and became more and more surprised.

“…”

"Our Runhua Industrial is China's largest motorcycle manufacturing company." Chen Geng had to repeat the words he had said before: "It has the ability to produce 1.2 million motorcycles per year, and our new motorcycle production base is being started. After the new base is completed, Runhua Industrial will have a total production capacity of 3 million motorcycles per year."

scare!

Annual production of 3 million motorcycles?!

Mohamed Ahmed was a little confused: What does 3 million motorcycles mean? It means that they are almost the same as Iran's current motorcycle ownership, and the entire Iranian motorcycle ownership is only less than 4 million. This is just the poor production capacity of a company in one year.

After thinking through this, Mohamed Ahmed felt that he was not as good as he was: How could the gap between people be so big?

"Really? The company really has the capacity of 3 million motorcycles?" Mohamed Ahmed's voice trembled a little, his tongue was a little curled: the hidden meaning behind Chen Geng's words made him a little unbelievable that this matter was true.

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded in front of Mohammed Ahmed's incredible gaze: "I think, if Mr. Ahmed, you are really a trustworthy partner, why can't we expand the scale and scope of the cooperation?"

"Of course! Of course! I am your most trustworthy partner. Mohamed Ahmed never lies!" As soon as Chen Geng's words came to his feet, Mohamed Ahmed solemnly raised his hand: he felt that he was knocked unconscious by this big pie falling from the sky. There was no need to be much. As long as he imported 20,000 motorcycles from China every year, he would become one of the biggest wealthiests in Iran...

"Now it seems that it is necessary to consider whether it is going to set up a motorcycle assembly factory in Iran." Chen Geng said to himself.

"Mr. Chen, what did you say?" Chen Geng's voice was very small, and Mohamed Ahmed didn't hear it clearly.

"Oh, I said, considering the transportation and cost, should I build a motorcycle assembly plant in Iran?"

Mohamed Ahmed finally became smarter once. He originally planned to be a car dealer of Runhua Industrial. He widened his eyes and asked with trembling: "Then... can this factory be jointly built by us?"

"You mean you want to work with me?"

Chen Geng seemed to have no clear intention of objection. Mohamed Ahmed was overjoyed and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, that's it."

"That's how..."

Chen Geng seemed to be hesitating: "But, I am frank, Mr. Ahmed, I don't know your strength and influence..."

Seeing that Chen Geng was willing to give him a piece of pie, Mohamed Ahmed's mood was no longer something that ecstasy could describe. He said with a chick pecking at rice: "Mr. Chen, please be sure to believe in my ability!" Perhaps he felt that this was useless, Mohamed Ahmed solemnly: "Mr. Chen, I only need the part that matches my strength, what do you think?"

Looking at Mohamed Ahmed calmly, Chen Geng finally nodded and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Ahmed, I hope our cooperation will have a very pleasant start."

Mohamed Ahmed was overjoyed and hurriedly held Chen Geng's hand and nodded, "Of course, of course, I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After two days of investigation, Chen Geng was a little disappointed with Mohamed Ahmed's situation, but it was within Chen Geng's acceptance.

This guy bragged before, saying that he was one of the most powerful car dealers in Iran. But after inspection, he found out that this guy is just a small dealer with three car sales stores. He does not represent any car brands, but is similar to the "cargo dealers" of domestic comprehensive stores. Last year, Mohamed Ahmed's three stores sold a total of about 200 cars. The situation cannot be said to be bad, but it is definitely not good.

But that's true. If this guy is strong, how could he go to the Frankfurt International Auto Show to find an unknown brand cooperation like Runhua Industrial?

But I could think so in my heart, but I couldn't say that. Looking at Mohamed Ahmed, Chen Geng was obviously disappointed: "Mr. Ahmed, what I saw is not the same as what you said."

Mohamed Ahmed was a little embarrassed.

It is normal for Chen Geng to be unhappy with this result. Who made him speak too much when he was in Frankfurt, Germany? He simply blew himself to the sky! Faced with this huge gap, it is normal for Chen Geng to be unhappy. On the contrary, if Chen Geng didn't react at all, then it was the problem that Chen Geng didn't even have the intention to deal with his own falsely.

But even though I understand, Mohamed Ahmed understood one thing even more: if he could not give Chen Geng a satisfactory explanation, the cooperation would end here.

He hurriedly explained to Chen Geng with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I don't intend to hide these from you. Please believe in my sincerity in cooperation. Of course, my strength is indeed a bit weak, but because of this, I will pay more attention to this opportunity. I hope to take this opportunity to achieve the rise of my personal career and wealth."

"So Mr. Ahmed is very optimistic about our products?" Chen Geng asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm very optimistic!" Mohamed Ahmed nodded heavily.

Nonsense, if I hadn't been optimistic about Runhua Industrial's products, I wouldn't have clearly expressed my desire to be a dealer of Runhua Industrial when I was in Germany, let alone there is a motorcycle business now. For Mohamed Ahmed, the emergence of this motorcycle business is simply an unexpected surprise. With this business, I will not lose money no matter what. The difference is just how much I can make in the end.

After pondering for a while, Chen Geng finally spoke: "First of all, Mr. Ahmed, I have to say that although Runhua Automobile is an emerging car brand and is not well-known worldwide, we still have strict requirements for dealers. I hope you are mentally prepared for this."

Mohamed Ahmed suddenly became nervous: Will Chen Geng ask for high agency fees from him? However, he is still too optimistic about Runhua Industrial's products. Although he is nervous, he still said: "Yes, I am mentally prepared."

"Very good," Chen Geng nodded: "In order to open up the Iranian market and allow you to use more funds to open up the market, Runhua Industrial will not ask for too high agency fees, but I hope you can invest more funds to develop new markets, specifically..."

With a finger raised, Chen Geng said: "Mr. Ahmed, you must ensure that you have opened at least 2 new sales stores every year."

"At least 2 stores a year?" Mohamed Ahmed suddenly became embarrassed: "Mr. Chen, you should know that Iran is fighting with Iraq now. If I have to open two stores a year, my funds will be very tight..."

This is not because Mohamed Ahmed deliberately made excuses. It is really a very high cost to open a car sales store. Two stores a year require at least US$1 million. For any dealer, this is a very huge number, especially now that Iran needs to fight Iraq, and the domestic economic situation is actually not good.

"That's it..." Chen Geng thought for a while: "There are at least two companies, and this condition is not negotiable, but the dealers you have developed are also considered."

"If this is the case, then there is no problem," Mohamed Ahmed breathed a sigh of relief. If the dealers he cooperated with was also considered, the pressure on two companies every year was not small, and it was not unacceptable. However, Mohamed Ahmed also took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions: "But since this is the case, you must also increase support. In addition to the support clauses in the contract, you must increase support in publicity and promotion."

"Yes," even if Mohamed Ahmed doesn't mention Chen Geng, now Mohamed Ahmed takes the initiative to mention it, which makes Chen Geng convenient: "Runhua Industrial guarantees to support you to hold at least two large-scale promotions and five small-scale promotions every year, and in addition, the rebate ratio will be increased from 4% to 4.5%.

Rebate is a good thing. When Mohamed Ahmed heard this, he immediately said: "At least 6%.

"4.6%, no more." Chen Geng made a little step.

After a dispute, the two sides reached an agreement at 4.9%.

The reason why we haven't argued about this issue for too long is that whether it is Chen Geng or Mohammed Ahmed, we all know that compared to cars, the motorcycle we will talk about next is the focus.

We said before that the war with Iraq lasted for 8 years and is still continuing, which has greatly damaged both sides of the war. Not only did the property and personnel damage it, but it also caused extremely huge damage to its own economy. The situation in Iraq is not bad. The Americans and the Soviets are supporting Sha Damu. As long as Sha Damu has money, he can really buy whatever he wants.

Compared with Sha Damu, the life of the new Iranian government is more difficult. Because of the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty, the new Iranian government has almost become the public enemy of the entire Western world. The economy, politics, culture and military are facing the blockade of the entire Western world. Economic development? Haha... Iran's economy has been regressing rapidly in recent years.

The automobile industry, which had a little bit of basics, was directly regressed to before liberation due to this war and the Western blockade. What's even more serious is that Iran cannot buy what it wants with money, resulting in an extremely shortage of various motor vehicles, especially vehicles for transportation. Runhua Industrial's freight and passenger tricycles almost meet all the requirements of Iranian people for vehicles at this stage: cheap prices, economical use, and quick runs.

For Mohamed Ahmed, if he had to choose between a car and a motorcycle, he would choose a motorcycle without hesitation. The reason why he did not argue with Chen Geng in the car was to win himself a more favorable condition on the motorcycle...

"I want 65% of the motorcycle assembly factory!" On the issue of shares between the two parties, Mohamed Ahmed bit the 65% ratio and refused to give in: "Mr. Chen, you have made a lot of money on KD pieces, and you should not be insatiable anymore."

"Mr. Ahmed, I think you made one mistake," Chen Geng shook his fingers gently: "KD loose parts are one thing, and assembly factory is another thing: Mr. Ahmed, I think you made a mistake, 49% of the shares, this is the basic condition. If you don't accept it, there is no need to talk about what you wrote down."

Damn the Iranian government also has a rule that for any joint venture that comes to Iran to invest, the Iranian shareholding ratio must be 51%, which is even more cruel than China. The Chinese government will give you a "no more than 50%", that is, even if the foreign party holds 49.99% of the shares, there is no problem, and even both sides are 50%, but China can hold one more share than the foreign party. However, Iran's regulations are that Iran must ensure a minimum shareholding ratio of 51%, which makes people hate it.

"Okay, 49% is 49%," Faced with Chen Geng's unyielding attitude, Mohamed Ahmed had no choice but to surrender: "But I need you to give a timetable to ensure that this factory will grow from a simple assembly factory to a complete vehicle production factory within five years."

What is a vehicle production factory? Specifically in the motorcycle industry, the core indicator of a vehicle production factory is to have its own core engine technology. To put it more generally, it is to be able to produce engine assembly by itself.

For Runhua Industrial, today it can form a motorcycle assembly factory with Mohamed Ahmed, and tomorrow it can open a separate assembly factory. This thing has no technical content, just an assembly production line. It is easy, but it is difficult to have your own core technology in engines.

Chen Geng thought about it and frowned and said, "5 years are not enough..."

Seeing that Mohamed Ahmed was about to speak, Chen Geng signaled him to listen to himself: "Mr. Ahmed, it's not that I don't agree with this condition. If you persist, I can agree to you in my heart. But I am bluntly speaking, there are too few returning science and engineering talents, especially engine science and engineering talents. If you want to form a research institution with certain R&D and learning capabilities, don't think about it without 7 years."

"You mean it takes 7 years?" Mohamed Ahmed widened his eyes.

Chen Geng nodded: "At least 7 years."

Mohamed Ahmed lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, 7 years are just 7 years!"

The core issue was reached, and the remaining issues were much simpler. That afternoon, Runhua Industrial signed a memorandum of cooperation with Mohamed Ahmed. After Mohamed Ahmed went to China to inspect Runhua Industrial's situation, the two parties signed a formal contract.

As soon as the memorandum was signed, Mohamed Ahmed warmly invited Chen Geng to play for a few more days in Iran. He really wanted to play for a few more days. Occasionally, a few girls without veils on the street are so beautiful. Unfortunately, he had to go back: After finishing his visit to FAW, Wolfburg suddenly made a request to the central government to visit Runhua Industrial.

This requirement was not proposed by Audi's first vice president Ferdinand Piech, but by Wolfburg Chairman Carl Hahn. Do you think the central government attaches great importance to Carl Hahn's request? In fact, it doesn't. On the contrary, the central government has a headache.

FAW, the demand put forward by Wolfburg is like a big enemy! They are also counting on using Wolfburg to check and balance Chrysler Automobile and strive for better conditions;

SAIC is even more nervous! Wolfburg and FAW have been in a relationship, and even developed into what is now blatant enough. This has made SAIC very unhappy. Now Wolfburg is going to hook up with Runhua Industrial again? Is it really intolerable!

Although Wolfburg is planning to use the brand Seat to cooperate with Runhua Industrial and does not conflict with the national regulations, it still arouses strong opposition from FAW and SAIC, especially SAIC. Their leaders even called Mr. Xie, with a vague hint that if Runhua Industrial refuses to cooperate with Wolfburg, SAIC can "turn a blind eye" to Runhua Industrial's poaching behavior. This is simply telling Runhua Industrial that as long as you reject Wolfburg, we acquiesce or even support you to poach people!

How could Chen Geng resist this temptation? He had to return to China quickly.
Chapter completed!
