Chapter 106 Two Phone Calls (B) Fourth Watch

The matter here has not been dealt with yet, another phone call came over there, so Jiang Chen had to stop what he was doing.The thing is like this, Jiang Chen was dealing with something in his research center that day, when Ma Guoliang came out and said there was a call.There was a foreigner on the phone saying something like that, but they couldn't understand, so they dragged Jiang Chen to answer the phone.

After Jiang Chen got it in his hand, he realized that he was looking for him, so he smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Jiang, are you?"

"Oh, God, Jiang, it's really you. We've been looking for you for half a month. Boss, Jiang's phone is connected." The woman inside shouted excitedly.

After a while, Smith's voice came from the phone: "Hi, Jiang, is that you, our friend."

"It's me, Smith, we're glad to hear your voice." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Oh my God, Jiang, you know how hard it is for us to find you. I called the phone number you called me but couldn't get through, so we got in touch with your country's embassy in our country. Through your embassy, ​​I got in touch with you. Your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contacted the Science Committee of your army, and then contacted you through them. Jiang, you didn’t tell me that you were connected with your country’s army.” Smith began to complain tirelessly.

Jiang Chen listened to him patiently. He knew that it would not be so easy for Smith to find him. At this time, it is very sensitive to have an external contact, and all external calls will be supervised by the state, so Smith must find Jiang Chen. It was approved level by level, so he smiled and said: "Hey, Smith, I have nothing to do with our army. We are just a factory that produces weapons and then provides them to our country's army. The scientific committee you mentioned, Our country is called the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. How to put it, it’s like a club that produces weapons.”

"Oh, that's right, but I really have to thank them, otherwise I wouldn't have found you so easily." Smith said excitedly.

Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "Hey, Smith, do you have something good to tell me in such a hurry to contact me?"

"Haha, you really guessed it right." Smith laughed: "I have to say, my friend, you are very lucky, you know that the device you asked me to contact last time has been connected properly, and I tell you, you It's really lucky."

"Oh, how to say my friend." Jiang Chen wondered.

"You know the equipment you asked me to contact last time. I contacted you. In the end, the senior management of our company was very interested. They are willing to sell you a production line that our company has not been in production for a few years. You know my friend , there are some restrictive equipment and machines, which were impossible to sell to foreign countries before, but considering the friendship between our two countries and the common enemy we face, our company is very willing to sell these equipment to you. And We are contacting the Ministry of Commerce of our country, and according to the feedback, they are willing to help this transaction. I think this is really great, what do you think?" Smith explained to Jiang Chen more excitedly .

Jiang Chen knew that the two countries were in the honeymoon period at this time, so there were no restrictions on the export of a lot of equipment to us, and even some equipment that the old Americans did not have equipment would provide us soon.But this Smith would be so kind, Jiang Chen became cautious: "Hey, Smith, you have to explain the detailed situation to us, you know that these millions of dollars are not a small amount for us, and I am only a member of this factory. One member, there is a big boss above me."

"Jiang, you are too cautious." Smith said with a smile: "As your friend, I will not deceive you."

Jiang Chen said seriously: "Smith, the money is not mine, I have to be responsible to our boss."

"Okay." Smith said helplessly: "The thing is like this, when I contacted you for this batch of equipment, my boss found me and said that he was willing to provide you with equipment, but it was just old equipment. Jiang, Considering being responsible for you, I went to see the equipment in person. Although it has been used for a while, it is still very new, at least 250% new. I asked how much it was, and our boss said it was 170 million US dollars, but after I checked it After a fight, our boss agreed to offer it to us for $[-] million."

"Oh, Smith, why is it so cheap?" Jiang Chen knew the brand-new price of these equipment. The complete set cost at least 300 million US dollars, so there must be something wrong with such a low price.

Smith smiled and continued: "Jiang, since we are friends, I'll tell you. Do you know why we asked you to cooperate?"

"Isn't it because our production cost is lower than yours?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, that's the reason. You know, the manpower price here in Laomei is getting more and more expensive, and the production cost is getting higher and higher. Coupled with the division of weapons production giants such as Boeing and Nock, we The life of the manufacturer is very sad. So the board of directors of the company decided that our company will gradually weaken the investment in weapon production in the future, and then shift the focus to chain retail sales. Considering that you may be our important production partners in the future, the company sells at a low price Here it is for you. I hope you can use these equipment to upgrade, so that we can maintain the existing sales market." Smith lowered his voice pretending to be mysterious.

"Oh, that's right. Do you know any restrictions on us?" Jiang Chen asked. He wanted to know why this company gave such a low price, and there must be some conspiracy behind it.

"Haha, Jiang, you guessed it right, they want me to tell you that in the future, the weapons and equipment produced by your factory will be given priority to our company throughout North America." Smith laughed.

Jiang Chen lowered his head to think for a while and then said: "Smith, I can only promise you that under the same conditions, we will give priority to cooperation with your company. You know that if it is like what you said, we will fall into a passive position. This will not be easy for us in the future. cooperate."

"OK, you're right, I'll tell them about it. But Jiang, there's an important thing you need to do now." Smith said seriously.

"Oh, what is it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's like this. At this time of year, a spring weapon promotion meeting is held in North America. This is also an important way for many companies to promote to the public. So we want you to provide us with a batch of your new weapons, as our The company's main product this year," Smith explained.

"Oh, so that's the case. But Smith, this seems to be inconsistent with our contract. We stipulate that we will provide you with the first batch of weapons and equipment in the summer." Jiang Chen replied, when the contract was signed, it was indeed That's what it says.

Smith said helplessly: "Hey, Jiang, isn't our cooperation also being upgraded? Let the damn contract go to hell. Besides, you know that this will benefit your sales in North America, and it will be very beneficial to both of us."

Jiang Chen pondered for a while and asked, "I wonder how many weapons you need this time?"
