Chapter 266 Continue to make money

The holding of 51% is, although only one percent more, but it means that Pakistan will dominate. The principle of Mhamad is that Pakistan must have the final say. In this way, when the car is built, if the other party wants to order a high price and make a lot of money from the country, Pakistan also has the right to speak. Cars are just a tool, and certain profits are necessary, but far exceeding the selling price in Europe, it is unreasonable. That is, the Germans are using this means to continuously plunder Pakistan's wealth.

"Okay, you can go down." Mhamad said, not giving the other party any chance at all.

Leonard was sad and said, "The person in front of him was indeed difficult to deal with!"

A few days later, at the Ministry of Industry, Volkswagen of Germany signed an agreement with Pakistan to formally introduce national cars. At the same time, in response to the hot climate in South Asia, this model will be improved, with more power air conditioners and engines.

Seeing Volkswagen also building a factory in Pakistan, Mercedes-Benz Motor Company finally couldn't sit still.

Following the example of Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz President Hubert brought their most proud ng-80 heavy truck and Umonik off-road vehicle to meet President Mhamad.

However, he was turned away. A day ago, President Mhamad went to the front line to inspect the troops. It took him five days to come back.

Five days later, President Mhamad was still busy and had no intention of seeing him. He recommended to the industrial sector, and those people were also very cold-hearted. In short, one idea was that they already had Steyr trucks and no longer needed expensive trucks like ng80.

Hubert couldn't help but feel depressed. What is Steyr? What is backward technology! Where is the advanced Mercedes-Benz?

He was a little envious of Volkswagen Company. They had Beetles, which made the President's Lady moved and sold a mark to the President's Lady. The President's Lady certainly disliked these iron bumps.

What to do? Hubert wanted to take bribes. But no one dared to accept them.

After waiting for half a month, President Mhamad finally took a few minutes to see him.

Although he suffered neglect, President Mhamad's attitude was very friendly.

"You are so kind to come from afar. I'm just blaming me for being busy all these days and being so negligent." Mhamad said with a smile.

"President Mhamad, I am very honored to take time out of your busy schedule." Hubert said: "We are here to promote our two military trucks."

"Sorry, we already have Steyr heavy trucks, and these trucks will be used as military vehicles. It seems that there is no need for us to introduce another truck again," Mhamad said.

"Of course not." Hubert said: "If it were on a flat road, the gap between the two heavy trucks might not be very big. However, military heavy trucks are not just walking on paved roads, but will go deep into the front line, and there are even no way out. At this time, our off-road heavy trucks will play a major role. For example, in the mountains of Kashmir, our heavy trucks are definitely more suitable than Steyr."

Hubert must convince Mhamad that if Mercedes-Benz loses to a small Austrian company in this project, it will have a great negative impact.

"In those mountains, our soldiers should walk." Mhamad said: "The trucks are slow and have no protection capabilities, and will become a living target for the enemy."

"Of course we have the ability to protect!" Hubert said: "Our ng-80 heavy trucks, as well as 6*6 and 8*8 full-drive models, the chassis of these cars remains unchanged. Just change it and it can easily become a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which is enough to provide soldiers with certain protection capabilities and reduce fuel consumption a lot compared to the tracked one. It is your most suitable choice!"

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicle! This is also what Mhamad values! The ng-80 heavy truck chassis is advanced, with strong off-road capabilities, and the full-drive heavy truck chassis can also be changed to a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!

Compared to crawler type, the most important thing is fuel saving! As long as it is a crawler, whether it is an armored vehicle or a tank, it is a monster that drinks oil!

"Since that's the case, we can introduce 500 vehicles in advance and test them in our mountainous areas. If the performance can meet the military's requirements, we will consider introducing production." Mhamad said.

This is still tested? Have you ever tested Steyer? It's just a difficult situation! Hubert knew it well, but there was no way. He knew that it was the other party who wanted to deliberately lower the price. It would be good. Let the Pakistani military see that the performance of the ng-80 heavy truck far exceeds that of the other party's shabby Steyer!

After seeing Robert off, Mhamad raised his legs on the table and leaned back. The arrogant Germans also knew what it meant to make things difficult for him? Mhamad found that he was playing hard to get too good.

"Dongdong." At this moment, another knock on the door came from outside.

"Come in." Mhamad said.

Finance Minister Aziz walked in and said to Mhamad: "President's husband, I am here to report to you about our financial situation."

Aziz was promoted by Mhamad after the incident. He also came from the army and was deeply trusted by President Zia Hak and also gained the full trust of Mhamad.

After listening to Aziz's report, Mhamad frowned: "So, our current situation will not be able to support the end of this year, and we will have no money?"

Pakistan has invested too much in all aspects, including industry, education, health, and all aspects, while in the military, cooperation with China and Europe is like a gold-swalking monster, constantly devouring Pakistan's funds.

Pakistan is not a wealthy oil-producing country in the Middle East. Until now, Pakistan is still a backward agricultural country. The industrialization transformation has not been completed and the national economy has not yet embarked on a healthy development track.

"According to your instructions, we have also opened textile mills and carpet factories in the Afghan border area." Aziz continued.

In Mhamad's plan, Afghanistan is an important mineral base and light industrial base, and Afghan carpets are also very famous. In Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan, many people with hand-crafted technology were organized to start weaving carpets.

These are also additional investments.

If it weren't for the gold that Mhamad snatched from India last time and had gained considerable returns through investment in the international financial market, they would have lost money now. Moreover, all the funds invested in the international financial market could not have been recovered, so half of them are still circulating overseas. The only profits they can get are only supported until the end of this year at most.

Industrial development requires large investment, and building Pakistan into an industrial country requires huge investment. Mhamad looked at Aziz who came to ask for debt and said: "The construction in all aspects cannot be backward. Only by establishing industrialization can we enable the country's economy to enter a healthy development. Now, we can have other ways to obtain later funds."

"We have borrowed money from Saudi Arabia several times and cannot borrow money from Saudi Arabia. We can consider using Kuwait and other countries." Aziz said.

"We don't need to take out a loan," said Mhamad. "I will handle this matter, just keep investing with confidence."

Aziz left, Mhamad poked his desk with his hand. He didn't catch up during the Hong Kong dollar crisis. He was busy fighting against the rebellion. He had more than a year left to the square agreement. During this period, he had to find other ways to make money.

How can I make money? Mhamad looked at the large-scale map hanging on the wall, and finally looked at the bottom of the map, where a fierce battle was going on.

Angolan civil war!

This is a country in the southwestern Africa, with the Atlantic Ocean on the west side, the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the north and northeast, Namibia on the south side, Zambia on the southeast, and another outer enclave, Cabinda Province, is adjacent to the Republic of Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In the 1970s, when the country was independent, the Angolan people's liberation movement supported by the Soviet Union, referred to as MPLA, and the National Alliance for the Complete Independence of Angola, supported by the United States and South African governments, triggered a conflict of confrontation and later evolved into a national civil war.

Afterwards, in Mawenga, there was a large-scale battle between the two sides, and the Cuban army and the South African army directly participated in the war. As a result, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The battle has been fought for many years. In February this year, the two sides finally began negotiations and prepared to sign the "Departure of Military Contact Agreement". However, the United States and South Africa insisted on linking the withdrawal of troops with the issue of Namibia's independence, and the negotiations between the two sides were at a deadlock.

During these stages of combat, the Anrenheim took advantage of the fighter jets provided by the Soviets, while the UNITA had the advantage on the ground, but the South African army struggled very hard without air supremacy.

But now, South Africa is in an isolated situation in the international community, and this situation is South Africa's apartheid policy.

On the land of South Africa, there are five million whites and four hundred million blacks living. Now South Africa is ruled by whites. This is a country where a few people rule the majority. Blacks have no electoral power.

Therefore, it has won the sympathy of some human rights organizations, and they have begun to criticize South Africa's policies. Western human rights organizations have also changed national policies. Even the United States cannot publicly support South Africa. Although South Africa is still the main force in fighting the Soviet Union, the United States is also criticizing South Africa's policies on the surface.

At this time, South Africa was the only developed country in Africa. It has a perfect industry, agriculture, developed scientific research level, and weapon research. It has a place all over the world. It is even secretly developing nuclear weapons. It is the most dazzling pearl on the African continent and is known as a rainbow country. (To be continued...)
