Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1045

"No, Jiang, don't worry, we are doing this for your own good." Anthony said hastily.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "No, you are wrong, we are free to choose what we choose. As for whether we choose wrong or right, and the serious consequences it brings, these are not your company's responsibility. I I think your company needs to work harder on finding a reason, because this reason is really lame."

Hehe, William smiled awkwardly and said, "Jiang, you should be clear that this is not our original intention. As a company, we are very willing to sell our most advanced products to our customers. But despite these Fighter planes are commodities, but they are also special commodities, so we are subject to many restrictions on sales. As for you, obviously some people in our Congress and officials still have doubts, so we still have some doubts about selling advanced weapons and equipment to you. Hesitant."

I know, Jiang Chen nodded and said: "But, I want to say that those things will be a headache for the authorities. We are negotiating business, so let's talk from a purely commercial perspective."

William nodded, and then discussed in a low voice with the person next to him.Director Yuan next to him asked Jiang Chen impatiently, "How is it, Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Chen took a sip of water, shook his head, and said, "It seems that Lao Mei is still very hesitant, and he is a little vacillating on whether he wants us to sell the C/D model. In this way, let Deputy Minister Zhao and the others be informed and let them step up their efforts. , Lao Mei can't hold on for too long, and the results should come out soon."

Director Yuan nodded, and then called a staff member to say a few words to him. The staff member looked at him and nodded, then walked out quickly.After finishing the order, Director Yuan turned to Jiang Chen and asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "At this time, we have to hold our breath and respond to all changes with the same attitude. He has already mentioned it just now, try to eliminate the interference of other factors, and bring the content of the negotiation back to business."

"Well, what do we need to do?" Director Yuan continued to ask.

Jiang Chen glanced at William and Anthony, who were discussing in low voices, and said with a smile: "Our old saying is good, only when you give kindness and strength together can you convince people."

"You mean, black and red face?" Director Yuan responded immediately.

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, I am the one who came for the red-faced Guan Gong. After all, I am still the middle liaison, responsible for organizing and coordinating, so it's not good if I get stuck. Then the black-faced Xia Houyuan..."

Director Yuan naturally understood Jiang Chen's meaning, so he smiled and said, "Then let me do it. Lao Song is also responsible for other things, so it's not suitable."

"Hehe, then Director Yuan will be wronged." Jiang Chen joked.

"Go!" Director Yuan glared at Jiang Chen and then coughed twice. Jiang Chen suddenly understood, then sat up straight, and found that William and Anthony who were opposite him had finished their discussions.

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others had listened, William looked at the people next to him and smiled at Jiang Chen: "Jiang, we discussed it and decided to accept your suggestion. Only the commercial part of the negotiation will be carried out. As for other aspects, we will negotiate." Give them a headache."

"Haha, very wise choice." Jiang Chen replied with a smile. He naturally knew who the damned William William was talking about. Of course, this cannot be said clearly, otherwise it would be taboo.

"So, where should we start?" William shrugged and asked Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen knocked on the table, looked at William and said with a smile, "Of course it starts with the C/D model."

William nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's start with it. But, Jiang, I have to tell you that we may be doing useless work."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "No, this is an opportunity for both of us. You should understand that the reason why we selected your company to enter the shortlist is because we are more optimistic about your C/D model. If it cannot meet our requirements, then slow down It is very likely that we will reconsider our purchase plan. For example, Grumman (F_14 manufacturer), which has not given up its efforts until now, should know that their people are also in our capital."

"No, Jiang, please believe us, our fighters, whether they are A/B models or C/D models, can beat that stupid fat cat by several blocks. In addition, as far as we know, you and the old US military have already A deal has been reached, and 24 F_15A/B fighter jets that have been urgently retired from the old US military will arrive here and be equipped with your troops soon. If you abandon us now and choose that stupid fat cat , then you will be very troublesome in logistics support and maintenance in the future, very troublesome, and you will have to invest a lot, which is not good news for you." William shook his head and told Jiang Chen.

Seeing the smile on William's face, Jiang Chen put away his smile and said sternly to him: "William, you have to understand that we are not a small country, but a country with the top three territories in the world, larger than your old beauty And we also have the largest army in the world. Just the air force, according to the survey and research reports of some institutions in your old America, we have more than 24 aircraft of various types. Although so many aircraft, most of them They are all backward models, but its establishment is such that these [-] fighters are only a very small part of the [-], do you think we can't tolerate them?"

"OK, Jiang, I think we should go back to normal negotiations." William's face changed after hearing Jiang Chen's words, but he stopped and smiled.

"Okay, then let's get back to the topic." Jiang Chen also smiled.

"Then Jiang, let's proceed from a purely commercial perspective. First of all, we want to find out how many fighters you need. Of course, this is your secret, and it is related to the smooth progress of the entire project. But, I want to How many of our planes do you want to buy, this is very important to us." William asked, staring at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but then smiled at William: "Our air force is now strengthening its modernization, and we are naturally eager to see through advanced fighters. The more the better. As you can imagine, didn't I just mention the size of our air force? Well."

"No, Jiang." William quickly shook his head and said, "What you said is just a rough figure calculated by us. We don't know the real figure. And the five thousand refers to all types of equipment you have equipped." Aircraft, which includes fighter jets, bombers, trainer planes, and transport planes, etc., and we are talking about fighter jets now, so we are not sure how many you want?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen glanced at Director Yuan next to him and said with a smile, "William, you know that fighter planes are not toys, nor are they low-value commodities. Their prices are all over tens of millions of dollars, so we have to be careful. .Although it is said that we will have a batch of A/B models arriving soon, but after all, they are products from many years ago, and the gap with C/D models is still very large. So we want to buy 24 from you for the time being, that is, one The C/D model fighters of the regiment. We will choose to add them after we have tried out the equipment for a period of time and are satisfied with its performance.”

"No, no, Jiang, your explanation is too vague, we can't accept it. And according to the plan you mentioned, then we are too passive. And 24 fighters are too small for us and you ...According to the size of your air force and the potential threats you face, we think you should equip at least six to eight of these heavy air superiority fighter wings (comparable to our air force division-level organization)." William shook his head and rattled Seemed to be, and then enthusiastically sold their wishful plan to Jiang Chen.
