The Snare Behind Section 895 Provisions

Because of time constraints, the meeting ended like this, although in the end there was still no consensus.Although most people supported and agreed with Jiang Chen's proposal, there were still different opinions, different collocation methods and their own considerations.This is also inevitable. In this kind of matter, everyone has absolutely no personal desires in it, and they dare not, because it is related to the peril of the country and the nation.Therefore, those who put forward their opinions also did so in a serious and responsible manner, and Jiang Chen could understand them very well.In the end, seeing that no absolute consensus was reached, Director Yuan felt that there would be no substantive results in the discussion.It's better to submit their plans to the top, not only Jiang Chen's plans, but also other people's plans. Give the top a space for full choice and consideration, and let them decide.

After a simple lunch arranged by the hotel, Jiang Chen and the others came to the hotel's conference room, where Paul and the others were already waiting.In fact, if you want to get a preliminary understanding of it, you have already learned about it in general in the morning.Whether it's from the conversation between the two sides or the data collected by Jiang Chen and the others, or even the personal experience of the two pilots.With these data, Jiang Chen and the others no longer need to know anything more.The specific in-depth research and verification will be carried out under the framework of the final contract, and at this stage, Jiang Chen and the others don't need to grasp these details now.So what is before the two sides are some relatively important clauses, which are the basis for whether they can enter the next step of actual negotiations.For example, Jiang Chen and the others wanted to know whether Paul and the others could export this fighter to Jiang Chen and the others, and what prerequisites they had.Which model was exported, whether it was castrated, whether it was the first version, etc.Paul and the others wanted to know which fighters Jiang Chen and the others liked, what they thought of this fighter, and how many fighters they wanted to buy in the end.So the two sides are at this negotiating table, you come and go, each side will not give in.The scene of peace and harmony between the two sides in the morning has turned into a war of words and tongues, and even swords are on the verge of breaking out.Even Jiang Chen almost quarreled with Paul on the table during the negotiation, one can imagine the intensity of it.

Of course, there is another point of contention between the two sides, and that is about the payment method.Paul and the others must pay first, and it is in their best interest to deliver the goods in such a way.But this is definitely impossible, how could Jiang Chen and the others have so much money to pay them.After being rejected by Jiang Chen and the others, Paul and the others came up with another plan, that is, to pay a part of the advance payment, which is the deposit, and pay the rest after the equipment is delivered.And Jiang Chen and the others will not agree to this. Although the conditions are better than the previous one, these equipments are likely to be provided to Jiang Chen and the others within half a year or a year. According to the current situation of our country, how is it possible? There is so much money to buy these fighters.Jiang Chen booked three aviation divisions, but according to the current actual situation, let alone three divisions, they couldn't even afford one regiment.

So Jiang Chen and the others began to introduce their payment methods, and at Jiang Chen's suggestion, Jiang Chen and the others divided them into several plans for Paul and his team to choose from.First of all, the first one is the installment. After the contract is concluded, Jiang Chen and the others will first pay 20.00% of the advance payment, then pay 20.00% after all the fighters and auxiliary equipment arrive, and then pay another five years after the fighters are delivered. 50.00%, and finally pay the remaining [-]% ten years after the fighters are all delivered.And this Paul and the others are definitely not willing. No company is willing to put their own company's payment back into such a long period, so they will definitely not agree.And Jiang Chen and the others immediately introduced the second plan, that is, Jiang Chen, Paul and the others will jointly persuade the Congress to persuade the government to advance the expenses, and then Jiang Chen and the others will repay them in installments.And this is impossible. Although Congress can be persuaded to help reduce certain costs, it will certainly not be too much.Moreover, it would be too difficult to persuade the Congress to persuade the government to advance the payment, which was rejected by Paul and the others, so it could only be shelved.

The third plan is that Jiang Chen and the others use Paul and the others to guarantee a loan from a bank in the United States to pay for the arms sales.The loan period is 15 to 20 years, and interest can be paid, but it is not acceptable to be too high.As for the money, Jiang Chen and the others promised that it would only be used for the purchase of this equipment and not for other purposes.But in order to protect the interests of Jiang Chen and the others, Paul and the others must ensure that the terms and conditions of the contract between the two parties are strictly fulfilled, and the contract must not be breached.If the contract is breached, the other party will be compensated up to [-]% of the penalty for breach of contract to make up for the huge loss caused by one party's breach of contract to the other party.For this plan, Paul and the others still cannot accept it. First of all, the risk of their company guaranteeing it is too great. If Jiang Chen and the others cannot pay, it means that Paul and the company will pay for Jiang Chen and the others. This huge sum of money.Although the liquidated damages guarantee the security of the contract to a certain extent, it still cannot guarantee the fundamental problem. I am afraid that this clause cannot be approved by the board of directors.

Then the only thing to do is to make changes. After discussion, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement.He believed that if the order between Jiang Chen and GM was reached, the two parties would jointly find a third party for guarantee.Jiang Chen and the others will find an international commercial bank for loans and pay for the order.As for the details of the loan, it is up to Jiang Chen and the others to negotiate with the lending bank, but there is one thing to guarantee, that is, Jiang Chen and the others must ensure that the loan can be earmarked for special purposes, and all of it will be used for the purchase of weapons and equipment for Jiang Chen and the others.In this way, Paul and the others thought that Jiang Chen and the others would only be able to obtain the official support of Laomei and obtain loans from Laomei's banks.Although it is an international bank, it is impossible to say that Jiang Chen and the others bought another fighter jet with a loan from one country. This is not in the interest of the lender's country, so in the end they have to return to the old American bank, and the tens of billions of dollars For the contract, I am afraid that only the old American banks have the courage.

Of course, there is the following clause, which is the guarantee clause that Jiang Chen mentioned.That is, in order to protect the interests of both parties, Jiang Chen's country and Paul's company must ensure that the provisions of the contract between the two parties are strictly fulfilled, and the contract must not be breached.If the contract is breached, then the other party will be compensated with a penalty of up to [-]% of the breach of contract to make up for the huge losses caused by one party's breach of contract to the other party.Both parties agree with this point, and believe that under the premise of such a huge order in the initial cooperation between the two parties, formulating some rules and insurance measures can help both parties to abide by and complete this contract.But Paul and the others never imagined that this clause that seemed to be beneficial to Paul and the others was actually a trap set by Jiang Chen for them, a huge situation.
