I built an armada.

Chapter 56 We are heart to heart with you, and you are playing tricks with us?
  In the room, Wang De paced back and forth.

Qian Wenbing's call came so strangely today that he had to think more.

Prior to this, Xu Dongguo unilaterally blocked the advancement of the second purchase of 956E, and Qian Wenbing showed concern. He could understand that the two leaders had a conflict of opinions.

Everyone has their own concerns, this is normal.

People across the country are aware of the Navy's plight, so he very much hopes to negotiate for two 956Es at a lower price.

As a result, even Qian Wenbing's attitude has changed now, which makes him have to wonder if something happened.

"Did something really happen in the Navy that I don't know about?"

"Or is it that the procurement plan is too bad and you really can't come up with that much money?"

"But that's not right. Chief Qian's tone didn't seem serious on the phone."

Wang De thought about it and couldn't figure out what happened.

Just as he was thinking about how to face Turgenev and others later, suddenly, the landline phone on his desk rang again.

When he picked it up, his face suddenly became solemn.

"Yes, chief, I understand."

Hanging up the phone again, Wang De felt even more confused.

This time, even Xiao Chongjun called.

It also clearly emphasized that the secondary purchase of 956E has been abandoned.

"The three chiefs have reached an agreement on this matter again!"

The last time this happened was when we decided to purchase 956E.

"Something is definitely happening in the Navy!"

This time, his idea became even more determined.

Deng Deng Deng!
  Heavy footsteps sounded in the room.

After a while, he paused and let out a sigh.

"Oh, what happened to the Navy!"

He never dreamed that the core technology of 956E, which the navy and even countless military fans were obsessed with, had already been conquered, and even the back-up force left by Mao Xiongguo in 956E had been eliminated.

As long as the Navy is given some time, it can even build the 956E!

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, you will know when the time is right."

Putting away his distracting thoughts, Wang De's mind turned to how to deal with Turgenev and others.

‘The negotiation failed’ and ‘We won’t buy’ are two different things.

Turgenev and others have been staying in China for almost three months. This matter cannot be dealt with just by saying we don't plan to buy it.

If one is not good, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

If the Navy really has any secrets, this will increase the risk of exposure.

Being able to become a negotiator, Wang De is naturally not confident, and he thought of many things at once.

Regardless of whether the suspicion in his heart was true, he needed to be prepared in advance.

Just when Wang De was thinking about how to deal with it, he was in the foreign guest house in the capital.

Kovsky paced back and forth with a sullen expression.

The other representatives of the Bear Country all had different expressions.

Turgenev said: "Kovsky, don't leave, leaving makes me upset."

"It's been 21 days! We've been waiting for 21 days! That Wang De hasn't sent anyone to contact us yet! What do they want to do?"

Kovsky was furious.

The last time I listened to Turgenev's advice, I deliberately stayed away from Wang De for more than half a month, thinking that Wang De would be anxious.

Unexpectedly, the seventh negotiation failed directly.

This time the headquarters finally relented and offered a profit of [-] million US dollars. Unexpectedly, Wang De still did not contact them in a hurry.

"We have been here for almost three months and have accomplished nothing! If we continue like this, they Chinese people will have to celebrate the New Year! Do we have to celebrate their New Year too?"

Kovsky said anxiously. “Headquarters is still waiting for news from us!”

Someone suddenly suggested: "How about we stop waiting and contact Wang De directly."

"That's inappropriate." Turgenev shook his head: "In this way, we are completely passive. It is obvious that they want to buy our warships, but we have the upper hand!"

"Anyway, we've made a profit of [-] million US dollars. Just be passive. If we finish the matter earlier, we can go back to work earlier."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Seeing that several people agreed, Turgenev could only nod helplessly.

Later, they contacted Wang De and made an appointment at a time and place.

Three days later in the morning, Turgenev and others showed up with full confidence.

This is the last negotiation, and they are bound to win this order. If we delay it any longer, we will really have to spend the Chinese New Year in China.

"Secretary Wang, regarding the second batch of 956E procurement..."

As soon as Kovsky opened his mouth, Wang De said.

"Mr. Kovsky, did you have fun in the capital recently?"

"Happy! About the price..."

"Just be happy. If you have any gifts you need to bring back, just ask and we will try our best to satisfy you."

"As for gifts, I think that... No, I didn't invite you to talk about this today..."

"I know, I know. Mr. Kovsky understands that our navy has no money and doesn't want any gifts. But no matter what, we still have to fulfill our friendship as landlords."

No matter how Kofsky brought the topic to 956E, Wang De would always change the topic appropriately.

More than half an hour later, Kovsky became numb. He found that he was no match for Wang De verbally.

Kovsky glanced at Turgenev for help. Turgenev understood and said immediately.

"Mr. Wang, let's not beat around the bush. The original price will be reduced by another US$2 million! This is our sincerity!"

Wang De, who was still smiling at first, suddenly looked helpless and sighed heavily.

"Guys, our navy really has no money. Let alone a reduction of US$2 million, even if it is a half discount, we cannot afford this money."

"To be honest..."

Another half hour passed, and Wang De looked dejected, as if he had been greatly wronged.

On the contrary, Kovsky and others were on pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable no matter how they sat.

"Mr. Wang, stop talking. This agreement is indeed inappropriate. We didn't think it through."

"That won't work. How are you going to do business when you go back? I'll try to think of a way."

"It's okay, we have a solution."

"Everyone, I have remembered this kindness. When you come to China, tell me in advance that you will be entertained. I will prepare gifts for you right away..."

Wang De stood up with a heavy face, shook hands with several people, and then left.

"Mr. Wang is such a kind person." Kovsky and others said with emotion.

The last negotiation failed, but after Wang De's "heart-breaking" words, Kofsky suddenly had a thought: Oh, why are we selling it so expensive? We are really not human!
  Only Turgenev, who had dealt with the Chinese several times, was puzzled. He always felt that there was a problem in some link, but for a while he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

As soon as they returned to their residence, while several people were still thinking about how to tell the headquarters about this matter, Turgenev suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Damn! I was tricked by Wang De!"

Kovsky sighed: "Turgenev, don't think too much, Wang De is already very difficult. The Chinese Navy is not easy. They are living so frugally and frugally, but we still have to sell them 956E at a high price. This The thing is that we did something wrong. I will tell the headquarters soon that this deal..."

"Kovsky, you are confused!" Turgenev said after reacting: "Think about it, what was Wang De's reaction in the past few times? He was given 13 billion U.S. dollars, and this time he suddenly got 9 million U.S. dollars. If you don’t come out, how long will it take? This is obviously a problem!”

"what?"

Turgenev quickly explained. After listening, several people immediately recovered from that emotion.

"You mean, we were tricked by Wang De?"

"This damn Wang De! We are heart to heart with him, and he is playing tricks with us!"
