Chapter 5910 A Satisfactory Answer
readx(); Lin Feng has been in France for almost half a month. From morning to night every day, I kept running and watching. Along the way, Natalie Portman and others following Lin Feng were miserable.
Originally, Lin Feng also said that he would let them wait for him in Paris while they went shopping on the Champs Elysees. Every woman didn't like shopping. Of course, Natalie Portman and the others also like to go shopping, but they have not forgotten their essential work. Therefore, although it was very hard, Natalie Portman and the others still gritted their teeth and followed Lin Feng around, and kept a record of their travels.
"President Sarkozy, thank you very much for your help! Without you, I would not have such a deep understanding of modern agriculture." Lin Feng sighed.
China has also talked a lot about the modernization of agriculture, and many people have gone abroad to learn from it and conduct physical inspections. But Lin Feng can be sure that he will definitely not have as much experience or see as much as he did this time. Modern agriculture is integrated from national policies to when farmers begin to purchase land, start sowing, spraying pesticides, harvesting, and then selling.
This is a complete assembly line, and each link has different requirements and related precautions. This does not mean that simply buying some modern machinery means agricultural mechanization. This is not that concept!
And these, you generally can't see. When you come to investigate, what you see is only one side, and what you see is what people let you see. You become a farm worker and come here to farm, and all you understand is this aspect of your work. But you cannot understand this entire process. There is no way to understand.
"Mr. Lin, I'm glad to be able to help you! China has always been a large agricultural country, but it is also a country with a large agricultural population. In modern times, this is a waste of human resources!" Sarkozy said seriously, some If you want to talk to those gentlemen in China, he won’t say it.
Facing Lin Feng, he was willing to say. This is the same person but different destiny.
"So. The popularization of agricultural mechanization in China is necessary! Moreover, only when the agricultural population of a country decreases, does it mean that the country's economy has reached a relatively developed level. Otherwise, no matter how high the national economic aggregate is, the agricultural population will increase. , is also a developing country. Because farmers’ income has been the lowest since ancient times. Including France, the income of farmers is not too high,” Sarkozy commented. "However, China's population is too large. There is also a problem, that is, these hundreds of millions of people no longer work in agriculture. How do they make a living? That is the issue of employment rate! This problem is the most troublesome."
Lin Feng nodded. This itself is also extremely troublesome. The issue of employment is very cerebral. There are now 400 million farmers working in rural areas in China. If agricultural mechanization is fully promoted, then based on France’s 3.5% farming population, there should be only 45.5 million farmers, which is equal to 45.5 million farmers. 350 million people need to be freed up to enter cities and towns.
These people enter the town,
What do they do to make ends meet? Of course, the influx of so many people into cities and towns has, to a certain extent, promoted China's economic circulation, which is definitely good for the economy.
But the problem is, where can you find so many jobs to satisfy the hundreds of millions of additional people? This is an extremely troublesome matter for a national government.
Lin Feng, a businessman. Can he solve it? Sarkozy didn't know. He didn't know if Lin Feng could solve it, but to him, all he cared about was reaching a trade agreement with Lin Feng.
The rest is not what he cares about. He said this. Just to gain Lin Feng's favor so that he can reach an agreement.
"It seems that I will ask President Sarkozy more about these aspects in the future!" Lin Feng was also modest.
If you don’t understand, just ask without fear of embarrassment. You don’t understand, yet you don’t ask. That's always a shame. Just mention it once and you'll be embarrassed. On the contrary, if you don't know how to ask, you will be laughed at at most once, and then you will master it. Then in the future, you will no longer be laughed at. Lin Feng calculated this account very shrewdly.
As for the issue of face, Lin Feng never thinks that in the ocean of knowledge, there is nothing shameful about asking for knowledge! What is face? How much does it cost per pound? Can it be eaten?
"Mr. Lin, whenever there is a problem, I will tell you everything I know and I will do my best!" Sarkozy said with a smile.
The two sides exchanged polite words and entered into trade negotiations. Lin Feng knew this well. If I were not here in France, I would spend some money and just leave. OK, Sarkozy will definitely not keep himself. But the relationship between the two parties will inevitably deteriorate to the extreme. That would be a bit troublesome for Lin Feng.
On the issue of Somalia, Lin Feng also needs the support of Sarkozy. At present, in terms of European military affairs, the military strength of the United Kingdom and France is almost the same, and the United Kingdom is slightly stronger. But France's temper is more grumpy, or more confident and proud.
After all, the French have been very proud since ancient times. Especially after Napoleon, he once conquered all of Europe. If the French themselves had not fought among themselves and brought Napoleon down, the Battle of Waterloo would not have defeated Napoleon.
Therefore, in the world, if the United States does not send troops to intervene, France alone is most likely to send troops to intervene in the Somali issue. Once a religious war really breaks out between Somalia and Islam, if France sends troops to intervene and you offend France, then France will send troops to fight Somalia.
Then Lin Feng thought that it was still unstoppable. France's comprehensive military strength, in the short term, still crushes Somalia, even with the "Wolf Fang".
You know, the "Wolf Fang" has only 8,000 people at most, which is an elite. And 8,000 people, in modern warfare, is just a small battle. And they are all land forces. Facing the integration of the three armed forces of France, it can't be stopped.
As for Russia's help? At this time, no one can predict its attitude. Even if he is willing to help, the price must be unbearable for Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng has a good personal relationship with this polar bear, he is not willing to have too much to do with it in international affairs.
Therefore, it is also necessary to have a good relationship with France.
The negotiations reached a friendly agreement under the condition that both parties are willing, you don't cheat, I don't cheat. As for the content of the agreement, it is very simple, that is, all Chinese agricultural mechanization equipment will be imported from France. As for the required pesticides, they are also imported from France. Of course, France will give the EU the same preferential price in terms of price.
As for the contract, it was signed for five years! In five years, all the modern machinery and pesticides needed for the agricultural mechanization transformation carried out by Lin Feng were imported from France.
"President Sarkozy, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Happy cooperation!" President Sarkozy laughed, "It's a pleasure to trade with Mr. Lin!"
It was indeed very pleasant! Lin Feng did not haggle over the price, and both parties basically hit it off. This was much easier than the occasions when President Sarkozy negotiated in the past.
"Our human life is limited. When both of us are willing to cooperate, why should we waste our limited time on an infinite amount of money!" Lin Feng shrugged, "Isn't this putting the cart before the horse!"
Time is priceless! Lin Feng has always believed so. Therefore, for the bargaining behavior in the market, Lin Feng has always followed the market price standard. He does not intend to be greedy for a little bit of cheapness, as long as the price is right and fair. Wasting time to talk, maybe some people think this is fun, but in Lin Feng's opinion, it is a waste of time.
Wouldn't it be better to do more meaningful things with this time? You will never remember that you paid a little more for something one day. When you are old, these will not become memories.
Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. Lin Feng will not persuade people to give up these behaviors. Lin Feng just wants to associate with those who are not too picky and talkative.
Lin Feng feels very comfortable with such simple and straightforward people. Even if they are a little irritable, paranoid, or even curse occasionally, Lin Feng will like them very much.
"Okay, President Sarkozy, there is no need for a celebration banquet. I'm leaving! As for this contract, I don't think there is any need to hold a press conference! After all, this is just my personal wish. As for how to do it in China, I still have to communicate with the top leaders above. Of course, this contract will definitely be valid. If it doesn't work in China, I will promote it in Somalia." Lin Feng said with a smile.
President Sarkozy laughed.
Although China and Somalia are two concepts and two levels, he will never be angry because the contract cannot be executed due to objective reasons. Lin Feng is willing to make friends with France, and so is Sarkozy. He is willing to make friends with Lin Feng.
It is absolutely a pleasure to be friends with Lin Feng. On the contrary, it is terrible to become an enemy.
"President Sarkozy, before I leave, I have another question to ask, that is, about the religious war in Somalia!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "Once the war spreads and expands, what will be France's attitude?"
Sarkozy looked serious at the moment. This involves national affairs and is directly related to France's future influence and trend in the world. He must be cautious.
After some deep thought.
"Mr. Lin, as long as Somalia is under your control and does not do things that violate the humanitarian spirit of Uganda, France will always be your friend!" President Sarkozy promised, "This is the promise I can give me. Of course, this promise is only valid during my term of office! As for outside the term of office, I will not make any promises to you. But no matter what, we will always be friends in private!"
Lin Feng smiled. This answer is satisfactory enough! (To be continued.)
