Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 871 Throwing out the plan and encountering a wall

【Revision】

Bastian's words were also very sincere, Jiang Chen and the others naturally couldn't remain indifferent.After communicating with Director Yuan Song and Deputy Director Song in a low voice, everyone felt that since they had met and the matter had been clarified, there was no need to wait any longer. The same is true for contacting and negotiating now.Immediately, everyone started discussing with Bastian and the others. The content was very wide, not only discussing the performance of the fighter plane, but also involving cooperation with the French military, as well as related diplomatic agreements.This is included in large-scale trade, especially large-scale arms sales contracts.Such arms sales contracts often include not only weapons and equipment, but also all aspects, such as military, political, economic and so on.

Military refers to the military cooperation and exchanges between the two countries.These include exchanges between the militaries of the two countries, and related cooperation regulations, and even military cooperation between the militaries of the two countries, such as information exchange, military exchanges, and even military alliances between the two countries.And if Jiang Chen and the others want to buy French fighters, they must deal with the French military. For example, the training of these fighters must be taught by French Air Force pilots.Of course, there are some other related terms.The political aspect is also a very important content of cooperation.If the political diplomacy of the two countries is not close enough to trust each other, how dare they sell their advanced weapons and equipment to each other.Military weapons and equipment are special commodities and cannot be bought or sold at will.Especially among countries, who knows that after you buy these weapons, you will not use these weapons to fight them.

In addition, economically, this is also an important aspect of cooperation.The purchase of these weapons and equipment is actually a trade between two countries, but the commodities traded are quite special.And since it is trade, it is bound to involve the economic aspect.For example, Jiang Chen and the others want to buy these fighter planes. If Jiang Chen’s plan consists of three divisions, the total cost of all equipment will exceed tens of billions of dollars. This is definitely a huge number.Then the money must not be bought with money, and we don’t have so much money, so this involves trade equality and trade compensation in national trade.To put it bluntly, money is just an equivalent, a medium, and the trade between two countries is still the exchange of wealth between the two countries, that is, one country uses valuable wealth or goods to buy goods of equivalent value in another country That's all.That is to say, if Jiang Chen and the others want to buy fighter jets from France, it is our import from them.Correspondingly, for the sake of trade equality, Jiang Chen and the others have to export the same equivalent products to France.What Jiang Chen and the others wanted to negotiate was, what should be exchanged for these fighters.

During this period, our country's exports were mainly raw materials and agricultural products, handicrafts, and a small amount of primary industrial products.Commonly, there are labor-intensive goods such as towels, toothbrushes, soap, socks, shirts, etc.But the problem is that the value of fighter planes is high, and the value of these items is low. Jiang Chen and the others can't exchange all these things for fighter planes.If all these things are exchanged, then it is estimated that the entire French will not have to worry about having no socks and shirts for more than ten years, so some high value-added products must be needed.Or cash foreign exchange, or even precious metals, gold, etc.France also requested the same, requiring Jiang Chen and the others to pay for foreign exchange and precious metals.But Jiang Chen and the others are definitely unwilling, and still want to use export products to repay the money.

Of course, Jiang Chen also has his own selfish intentions, such as introducing their own automobiles and other industrial products to France.In the past few years, Jiangchen and the others have been making efforts to enter Europe, but European countries are all powerful automobile manufacturers, and trade protection is quite serious, so Jiangchen and their products are blocked out.Despite coordinated efforts by some countries, there has been no progress.If we can take this opportunity to let their automobiles and other high value-added products enter the European market, it will definitely be absolutely beneficial to our future development of the automobile industry.We must know that our cars in later generations have been thinking about how to enter Europe, but there is still no result.

Of course, France will definitely not agree to this, because it is definitely not in their interests.Who would exchange so many socks and shirts with advanced fighter jets? Who wants to let cars from other countries come in and compete with cars from their own country, so Jiang Chen and the others are asked to increase the proportion of foreign exchange payments.Jiang Chen and the others naturally would not agree, so they fell into a tug-of-war.In the end, Jiang Chen saw that it was very late, and the fire was about to start, so he threw out the set of plans he had proposed before.Sure enough, when this plan was thrown out, everyone in France was stunned.

After the exchange, Bastian and the others asked Jiang Chen with an expression of disbelief, "Jiang, you mean that you borrow money from us and use the money you bring to buy fighter jets for your purpose?" .Use our money to buy our fighters, and finally deliver them to you. I heard that right, our money, our fighters, so what should you pay as the user?"

"Reputation!" Jiang Chen spat out two words and explained with a smile: "Mr. Bastian, you should know the current economic situation of our country. We are definitely unable to pay this huge sum of money. And we are also urgently We need these fighter planes to help us defend against foreign enemies, so we can only beg for your help. Don’t worry, we are also an international power, and our reputation is unquestionable. It only takes 20 years for us to pay off your debts, and I am also willing to pay you 20.00% interest. In terms of investment, you are definitely a good deal.”

"No, Jiang, wait a minute." Bastian shook his head and said, "There is a deep friendship between our two countries, but friendship is friendship, and trade is trade. It’s impossible for the country to get a fighter jet.”

"No, Mr. Bastian, we are not saying that we will not pay you money, but postpone it, and pay you 20.00% interest. We have no other choice, of course, if you want, we are willing Use cars, shirts and socks to pay for your money." Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

"Who wants those damn socks." Bastian was a little annoyed, but he held back.Immediately he and the people next to him began to communicate, and after a while Bastian looked up at Jiang Chen and said, "Yuan, Jiang, let's stop here today, your plan surprised us, we need to carry out Only by discussing can we give opinions, let’s make another appointment.”

It was time to see off the guests, Jiang Chen and the others got up to bid farewell.When Jiang Chen shook hands with Bastian, he smiled and said, "Mr. Bastian, we are really sincere and look forward to your reply."
