Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 554 Difficulties and Opportunities

During the discussion, the above fully considered the opinions of the Special Operations Brigade and the current problems.It is finally determined that the above is a special warfare brigade, equipped with 12 'Black Hawk' helicopters, which is an aviation brigade.However, due to the shortage of funds, this plan will be divided into two phases to complete.The first stage, that is, the special operations brigade above, first equipped with six 'Black Hawk' helicopters.For the Special Operations Brigade to train and train its own pilots, and cooperate with others to integrate into the training.After cultivating a group of these talents, the higher-ups will equip the remaining 6 'Black Hawk' helicopters for the Special Operations Brigade. The whole plan will last for three years.Although Lei Jun and Jiang Chen were still a little dissatisfied, they also knew that the higher ups had really tried their best, so they could only accept it like this.

According to the results of the previous talks with this old American Sikorsky company, the price of a 'Black Hawk' helicopter is 400 million US dollars.The first six planes cost a total of 400 million US dollars.With the addition of various other auxiliary equipment and spare parts, it will cost nearly 800 million yuan to increase the height.And Jiang Chen and the others will have to pay 40.00% of the previous period, which is an advance payment of 120 million US dollars.After the arrival of the six 'Black Hawk' helicopters, pay them another 30.00%, and after this one year, pay the other 30.00%.Of course, this amount of arms procurement can be said to be not too much, or even pitifully small.But that's it, we don't have the ability to pay the money in one go, and we can pay in installments.This made Jiang Chen feel very aggrieved. He really felt aggrieved for the army at this time, and also for our soldiers and military workers, who can still work hard and create brilliant achievements under such difficult conditions. Feel the admiration from the heart.

Then, out of the 800 million US dollars, after Jiang Chen negotiated with the military, Jiang Chen and the others helped the military pay a total of 500 million US dollars for the purchase of the machine.It is still the same as the previous form, paying in installments.For the previous payment of 1000 to 800 million, Jiang Chen and the others had to pay [-] million US dollars, and for the latter two, Jiang Chen and the others paid the rest of the promised part by the plane.As for the other parts, the military needs to prepare by itself.In fact, as far as the total purchase amount is concerned, the western company can still pay if it is upfront.But everyone knows the truth of killing the chicken to get the egg. If Jiang Chen and the others really paid so much money all at once, it would definitely be a nerve-wracking event for the Western Company.Especially now the Western Industrial Company is in a period of rapid development.The company needs a lot of funds, especially a large amount of foreign exchange to purchase equipment, technology and other things that are urgently needed for the company's development, including the cost of developing the market and so on.Moreover, the company also undertakes the task of guaranteeing the country's key foreign exchange funds, which means that Jiang Chen and the others must reach a certain export quota every year.The foreign exchange they use is not included in this calculation.So this invisibly put more pressure on Jiang Chen's impressive western company.

Of course, these funds were not contributed in vain. These funds were only paid by Jiang Chen and the others, and the military will have to pay them back in the future.Moreover, Jiang Chen also clearly stipulated with them that the loan is from the US military, and the return must be in terms of US dollars.Because Jiang Chen knew that the entire 80s was a process of contact and integration between our financial system and the financial systems of the world.So during this period of time, our currency exchange rate and the international exchange rate have been in a state of depreciation.For example, the most obvious house-to-dollar exchange rate has changed from a few o'clock in the early 80s to a few o'clock in the early 90s, and then to a few o'clock in 2000.If they pay in this country's currency at this time, then Jiang Chen and the others will not pay the death penalty.

Of course, considering that the military really doesn't have much money, and it doesn't have the ability to repay it in a short period of time, Jiang Chen and the troops signed some repayment agreements, such as this method of repayment in kind.The most popular thing is to sell natural resources. Anyway, these don't cost much, and the military is also willing to do this kind of thing.However, after Jiang Chen and the others made the calculations, with such a large amount of funds, they will continue to be calculated based on the current prices of these mineral resources.So if all the money is repaid, then this is definitely an astonishing amount.This is absolutely unrealistic, Jiang Chen and the others don't have the money to waste such a big self on resources.Seeing that this was not enough, the military began to look for other things, such as this real estate, land, and various other things. In the end, they managed to collect items worth less than 300 million U.S. dollars.Just like this, the military still felt very embarrassed, feeling that they owed Jiang Chen a lot of favors or something.In fact, when Jiang Chen saw this list of items, he was already very happy.Because I won’t talk about mineral resources or anything, just talk about some army properties or land, or even some ports that are about to be idle and abandoned. These things are definitely worth a thousand dollars in future generations.Especially when he saw a few lands in some of the most developed cities in the future, Jiang Chen was even more excited.Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to continue this profitable and promising business, but after careful consideration, he felt that it would be better not to take too much of this kind of cheapness, otherwise he might become a hot potato in the future. up.

Of course, this is just a contact with Jiang Chen and his military, and the cooperation framework outlined.For specific matters, this has to be discussed in more detail with the relevant personnel of the company.Jiang Chen and the leaders of the army have just grasped the direction, and they will not participate in specific matters.

In fact, in Jiang Chen's heart, he still hides this idea, that is, to see if he can use this cooperation, and then through the relationship between business cooperation and trade deficit compensation, whether he can use this opportunity to open up the Laomei auto market.During this period, Laomei was the largest automobile consumer market in the world, which made the automobile manufacturer in the world not covet it.However, the automobile industry in the United States itself is very developed, and it is still a commercial country. The policies and everything are controlled by this big capitalist. Stand firm, how difficult this is.Of course, there are difficulties and challenges. Jiang Chen clearly remembered how the old American auto industry was on the verge of bankruptcy if it was run on by other foreign auto industries.This is also an important reason why the patents registered by Jiang Chen before were not authorized in North America.
