Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 133 Negotiations during the trip to Europe
Jiang Chen didn't immediately negotiate with Carl after the inspection, but was invited by the middle-aged English-speaking engineer Martin to the factory restaurant to experience the factory lunch.To Jiang Chen's surprise, it turned out that Deutschland also had a small stove, and what Mark led them to eat was the small meal eaten by the middle and upper management of the factory.However, Jiang Chen refused. Under his repeated insistence, everyone lined up with plates to get a feel for the lunch of the grassroots workers.

When Jiang Chen got the food, he found it was good. Of course, there was still a certain gap between what Jiang Chen expected.A long white sausage, a piece of bread mixed with rye and wheat, a spoonful of canned sardines, a tomato cut in half, and what seemed to be a soup made of pork bones.Jiang Chen tasted it and it was very good, and Wang Hongyi also liked it very much. At least Jiang Chen didn't see the kind of resistance he had when he was in Laomei, and he seemed to be very happy after eating.

At this moment, Martin came over with a few glasses of beer and said with a smile, "How about it, Jiang, the taste is not bad."

Jiang Chen gave a thumbs up and said, "It's great."

"Come, try our local beer." Martin handed the beer to several people and said with a smile.

Jiang Chen wondered, "Why, doesn't your factory prohibit alcohol?"

Martin laughed loudly: "Jiang, this is Germany. And this area is still Munich. The people here have grown up in wine barrels. How can they prohibit alcohol. But because it is during work hours, everyone is stipulated every day. There is a fixed limit."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Jiang Chen raised his glass and took a sip. It was really good. The taste was mellow but not sweet, and the bitterness was very light, very refreshing.Jiang Chen smiled at Mark and said, "It tastes good."

"Haha, Jiang, I knew you would like it." Mark also raised his glass and drank, but this drink was only half a glass, which made Jiang Chen wonder if he was dealing with a drunkard.

As the beer poured into their stomachs, the atmosphere of several people became active, and they all started talking and laughing.But because Wang Hongyi's English is not very good, he can only listen to the general idea.So in the end, he simply stopped listening and concentrated on eating. This guy alone ate three white sausages.Looking at the different eyes of the crowd, Jiang Chen wished he could kick this guy off the table.

After the meal, Jiang Chen and the others had a short rest in the reception room and then had a discussion.This is the first formal consultation between the two parties, so both parties are testing each other and want to know where the other party's bottom line is.For example, Jiang Chen and the others want to know how this equipment is, how much it costs, what is the minimum bottom line, what form of cooperation will be adopted, and so on.While the other party was looking for Jiang Chen, wanting to know whether Jiang Chen planned to buy it or came here to test it out, how big the purchase was, how much capital he had, what was the bottom line for the minimum purchase, and so on.Anyway, the first negotiation between the two parties was like this, and there was no result.Looking at the time, it was getting late, so Jiang Chen and the others ended their discussion and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

Speaking of the hotel where Jiang Chen and the others lived, it was not as good as the one in Laomei.The main reason is that it was free for others to receive them, but this time Jiang Chen and the others paid for it themselves, so they were not willing to live in such a high-end place.If it wasn't for the image problem, Jiang Chen would have wanted to find a small hotel.However, compared to Wang Hongyi, who is heartless and heartless, Jiang Chen has more worries. This is not to sort out the events of the day and the information collected this night, and then draw conclusions before preparing for the next day. The information that needs to be used.Before he knew it, he was busy all night, and Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa and squinted for a while until dawn.

After having a simple breakfast with Wang Hongyi, Jiang Chen and the others came to the company's headquarters again.And Karl has been waiting there for a long time, Jiang Chen had no choice but to apologize repeatedly.In this negotiation, Karl and the others obviously have a few more people. It seems that you have gone through the test yesterday, and they already think that Jiang Chen and the others sincerely want to cooperate with them, so they take it seriously.

After introducing the newly added personnel, Jiang Chen and the others began formal negotiations.And Jiang Chen's resolute appearance really surprised Carl's team.This oriental is not as polite and direct as other orientals, it seems that he has to deal with it carefully.Carl immediately said seriously, "Jiang, let me have a frank and honest talk about what kind of production line you need."

"Carl, what we need is a complete set of motorcycle production equipment and production technology." Jiang Chen said seriously.

"Equipment machines can be provided, but it is not so easy to be blank in this production technology. You must know that our technology is very precious." Carl narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"No matter how precious technology is, it has its lifespan. In this era of rapid technological development, they are easily replaced." Jiang Chen looked at Carl and replied with a smile.His implication is that your technology has fallen behind and is not worth so much money.

"Okay, let's talk about its value." Carl said seriously: "What you want is a complete motorcycle production plant, which includes an engine production line, two body parts production lines and a wheel production line And a final assembly line, etc. The engine production line has the highest value here, and its value accounts for 40.00% of the entire set of equipment. It includes a five-ton fuel crucible furnace and a three-ton electroslag remelting furnace, and A precision parts processing production line. The CNC machine tools of this production line have reached 3%. It can produce nearly two hundred motorcycle engines a day under the operation of skilled workers, and I think it is very suitable for you.”

"Oh." Jiang Chen nodded and smiled, "Then how much is your offer?"

"Jiang, considering the increasingly close relationship between the two countries, we decided to give you a preferential price. The original quotation for this set of equipment was equivalent to US$350 million. Now we deduct this fraction and give you US$300 million." Carl picked up a document and handed it to Jiang Chen with a smile.

Jiang Chen took the document and saw that it was the price list of this whole set of equipment, which marked the original price of each set of equipment and the current depreciation discount price.I have to say that this German is meticulous, and even some small auxiliary parts are clearly marked on it.He looked at it for a while and said together: "Carl, I really can't accept your price. You must know that you are an obsolete product, and you don't want it. Now we are willing to give you some compensation to help you deal with this pile of waste products. It also requires investment, so the quotation you gave is really too high."

"No, no, Jiang." Carl shook his head and said, "You have inspected them before, and they are still working well, so they are not scrapped. And as you can see, the condition of this set of equipment is still very good. New, and ready to go into production as soon as you ship it back, so it's worth the price."

　This information is really not very easy to check. I checked the information for a long time just for this chapter.It's not easy! ! !
