Chapter 1049 The Smokey Negotiation

After listening to the translation, the faces of Director Yuan and Deputy Director Song also turned ugly. They didn't expect anyone to know Jiang Chen's plan in such detail.This caught them off guard, and Jiang Chen disrupted their plan, but the negotiation had to continue.So Jiang Chen can only put this down first, and then said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Richard, we initially plan to ask you to buy four regiment C/D fighters. But this is only the first stage, our country Its airspace is very large, and only three divisions may not be enough, so we do not rule out that we will continue to purchase related fighters in the future. Of course, this depends on our actual use situation."

Facing the big cake that Jiang Chen made, Richard was not fooled, but smiled and said to Jiang Chen: "Jiang, we will talk about the future. And our main job now is to talk about it first." The order of 96 fighter jets, I think this is very important to both of us. For us, we need this order urgently, and for you, it is to deal with the growing threat."

No, Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "It should be said that it is a threat from both of us. Both of us should understand that if we fail, it will be a disaster for both of us. I think this should not be in line with Your old beauty, or the interests of your company."

Of course, Richard replied with a smile: "It is precisely for this reason that we have the opportunity to sit here face to face. But, Jiang, you have to be clear that we have spent a lot of money to develop this fighter. So politics is politics, business is business, and we cannot damage our interests because of that damned politics."

Jiang Chen looked at Richard and said with a smile: "Of course, then Mr. Richard, I don't know what your quotation is."

Upon hearing this, Richard looked at Henry next to the card and smiled at Jiang Chen: "Jiang, based on the common interests of both of us, this time our quotation is very low, basically close to the cost price. You are As a business person, you should understand that there are many factors that affect the price of a product, such as the production hours, raw materials, technical content, production quantity, etc. And according to the number of 96 you have, the quotation we give you is The initial price is 3000 million US dollars. Of course, in order to show our sincerity, we will also give you some related parts and accessories as well as some weapons and ammunition. This includes our most advanced air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and guidance Bombs and other advanced weapons and ammunition."

Hearing Richard's words, Jiang Chen looked at him, shook his head and smiled, "No, Mr. Richard, I don't see any sincerity in your words. First of all, we can't accept the offer of 3000 million yuan. According to As we know, the latest quotation of the latest C/D model fighter you sold to the US Air Force last year was only 800 million U.S. dollars. And the price of the fighter you sold to a certain country was only more than 2000 million. How did it come to us? It soared to 3000 million, the gap is a bit too big."

Facing Jiang Chen's smile, Richard said awkwardly, "Jiang, do you know that the price of goods is going up, so our cost will naturally go up a bit. Besides, didn't we give you some parts as gifts? Some of the missiles."

No, Jiang Chen interrupted Richard: "I don't know exactly what parts you are talking about, but judging from your quotation, this price should include all the parts of the fighter plane in the near future. , such as engines, radars, avionics, etc. As for the weapons and ammunition you mentioned, I don’t think you need to pay for them. As far as I know, major weapons and ammunition manufacturers will give customers a certain amount of ammunition as gifts Trial, in order to expand the market, I don't know if it is true?"

Seeing Jiang Chen's continuous questioning, Richard seemed a little surprised, but then he calmed down and smiled at Jiang Chen: "Jiang, I have to say that your preliminary work is very meticulous. There are some rules in it, but We also paid a very high price. I think an excellent fighter in the international field should not be expensive to sell for 3000 million."

No, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Mr. Richard, no matter how excellent a fighter is, it has a suitable price. Once the price exceeds its own cost by too much, it means that it will lose its market competitiveness. Even if it Excellent, with high returns, there will be products to replace it soon. You have to understand that you are not a monopoly, nor are we the only option. This is a free choice question, and you are just one of the options. There are many choices we can choose, single choice or multiple choices, the initiative is with us.”

"NO, Jiang, we are equal, and no one has the absolute initiative. You are a smart person, and you should understand the influence of Laomei in the world, especially in the Western world. Sometimes our small decision , can affect the fate of a country, let alone a project." Richard shook his head and said slowly.

Facing Richard's words, Jiang Chen frowned.This is obviously a kind of intimidation, nothing more than showing how important they are in the world.The old beauty has used this trick for many years, and it is also very effective.But they forgot that this is our country, and they are facing Jiang Chen, so they must be disappointed.Jiang Chen said with a sneer on his face: "Mr. Richard, you have to be clear that although you have an important position in the world, you are not alone. Although you have a great influence on the world and the West, you cannot talk about it." Absolute control. I think in the face of huge interests, how much effect can your words play in front of allies. Even if you can influence the Western world, you cannot affect the other camp. If our security cannot be guaranteed If not, then we may go another way. This way is not closed to us, but we are not willing to go now."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Paul next to him quickly said: "Jiang, put the fire away, your impulsiveness will not do any good for our negotiations. There is an old saying in your country, which is called harmony makes money. We are so far away. The purpose of coming here from a distance is to do business, so please believe that we have no malicious intentions."

Hehe, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Of course, Paul, I understand. I'm sorry, my words were a bit too harsh just now. However, I think our meeting today should end here, and now there is no condition for the meeting to continue. .I suggest that we adjourn the meeting first, and wait for each of us to go back and prepare before proceeding to the next meeting."

Paul looked at Richard, then at Henry, then nodded at Jiang Chen and said, "Agreed, we will proceed here for today's meeting. Both of us will prepare when we go back, and see you the day after tomorrow."
