Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 501 The Great Disagreement in the Negotiations

Lunch ended in a joyful atmosphere. Jiang Chen brought everyone to the small guest house in the factory area, allowing them to rest for a while.As for Jiang Chen, he also went back with some cadres to have a good rest.They were really exhausted in the morning, especially Jiang Chen, who basically took care of the whole process, which made him very tired.And there are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so he must recharge his energy now.But Dongzi does not have such a good treatment. He has to discuss with several cadres as soon as possible to figure out the company's own negotiation bottom line, which aspects to fight for, which places to give in, and so on.These are all to be encountered in the afternoon, and the fat man and the researcher are also taking care of their own affairs.On the contrary, Jiang Chen became an idler, and had to lie on the bed to rest when he met him.

I don't know how much time has passed. Just as Jiang Chen was in a daze, he heard Liang Qi come in and wake Jiang Chen up and said, "Mr. Jiang, wake up, Mr. Jiang?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked in a daze.

"The guest house said that the chief and Director Wu are already up and cleaning up, and they will be here soon."

"Oh?" Jiang Chen woke up after hearing the words, then got up and said, "Okay, I'll get up and get ready now, you go and see how Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen are getting ready."

"Okay." Liang Qi nodded and walked out.

Jiang Chen got up, tidied up and washed up, and then came to the small conference room, and found that Dongzi and Fatty were here. Seeing Jiang Chen coming, they all shouted, "Brother Chen."

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at them and asked, "What's the matter?"

Dongzi smiled and said, "No problem."

"Well, that's good, let's go down." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

With that said, Jiang Chen and the others came down below, and waited for Deputy Director Song and the others to arrive.Not long after, they came, but this time there were not many people, only a few people except Deputy Director Song, Director Wu and a few military cadres.Seeing them coming, Jiang Chen and the others did not show too much politeness. After saying a few words, Jiang Chen led them to the big meeting room.

After serving tea to everyone, the door of the conference room was closed.Some idle personnel have already left, and only Deputy Director Song, Jiang Chen and Dongzi are left in the meeting room.There is also a Liang Qi and two clerks, who are responsible for recording and organizing the entire meeting.The next matter is between Jiang Chen and Director Wu, and Deputy Director Song is sitting in the middle as a coordinator.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone finally entered the whole day.Director Wu spoke first: "There are no outsiders here, so let's just talk about it directly. I am a soldier, and I am not used to so many detours."

Jiang Chen replied with a smile: "That's fine, I don't like so many superfluous words, just be straightforward, everyone is comfortable."

"Haha, well, it's really fun to be a soldier." Director Wu said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite, just say it directly."

Seeing Jiang Chen nodding, Director Wu said seriously: "We have carefully studied your requests and suggestions some time ago. We believe that what you proposed has high mobility, super power, and strong passing ability. An off-road vehicle with certain protection capabilities and able to drive normally under various extreme conditions is very suitable for our army's future needs for this off-road vehicle. Especially some command vehicles, communication vehicles, and reconnaissance combat vehicles all meet the requirements. Your fax We have also carefully studied the relevant materials in the past. Although your plan is good, it still has a certain gap with our actual needs. So this time, the higher-ups sent me to exchange with you on related issues. , Try to reach a consensus as soon as possible. Judging from your report and the battle reports of the frontline troops, we are really in urgent need of such vehicles, and the earlier the troops are equipped, the earlier the casualties will be reduced and the battles will be won more.”

Seeing Director Wu talking about me, Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern. We will definitely do our best to develop this off-road vehicle according to the needs of the military. But our related technologies are somewhat lacking for this military off-road vehicle." We hope to get technical support from the military in this regard.”

Director Wu looked at Jiang Chen and nodded: "Don't worry, if we can reach this cooperation project, then some related technologies will be provided to you. But these technologies can only be limited to the vehicles and equipment provided for our army. Above, other aspects still need you to keep secret.”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. You know, it takes huge resources and a huge investment to develop a car. If the military can purchase on a large scale, for example, more than [-] cars, Then we can only produce this car for the military. But if we can’t reach a certain amount, then we will lose money, and this is unacceptable to us.”

"This is a need for national defense. I hope you can overcome the difficulties. After all, our military expenditure is relatively tight now, and we cannot carry out large-scale equipment. You see, we have allocated a part of the funds to you, or we can provide raw materials." Wu The director looked at Jiang Chen and said.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "If it's financial compensation, then the purchase price of the military may increase significantly. For example, if one of our off-road vehicles is sold normally, it only costs 10 yuan. If it is only It is specially provided for you, and the quantity cannot be increased. In this way, plus production costs and R&D costs, the price of a car may rise to more than 20. I believe this price is also a huge burden for you. "

"So high?" Director Wu said in surprise, "Xiao Jiang, can we control the price? You are also one of us, and you know that our army doesn't have much money."

Jiang Chen looked at Director Wu with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I didn't deal with the army once or twice. Not only the company, but also the B17 factory. The equipment we sold to our own people didn't make much money at all, and We have no intention of earning money from our own people. The price I gave is really close to the cost, and it is basically a break-even state. This is not counting the wear and tear costs of our production equipment and other costs. Gui. You understand what we mean, that is to use the money we sell in the market to subsidize production and research and development costs, so that we can install low-cost equipment for you. We have no choice, I hope you can understand."

"I understand." Director Wu nodded and said, "But these technologies are the results of our several generations of scientific research personnel who have spent more than ten years researching them. Once you put them into the market, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of related technologies. Leakage, this is a great loss to us, and it is also a big hidden danger to the safety of the entire army."

The differences were relatively large, and both sides held their own opinions, which made the talks suddenly fall into a predicament.
