Chapter 115: Too backward, can be displayed

If there is a ranking list of China's playboys, military fans would be ranked second, and no one would dare to be ranked first.

Especially since the beginning of the new century, whenever a new equipment is domestically produced, he will quickly fall from being a little girl to being Mrs. Niu.

This is true for everything from the Aegis destroyer to the aircraft carrier to the Dragon 20.

Li Yunfei always believed that this phenomenon was a spontaneous behavior of military fans and was normal, but after he came back from the Equipment Design Bureau, he knew he was wrong.

This phenomenon actually has its roots.

When several leaders learned that Huayang Iron and Steel Plant's aircraft carrier arresting cable had an upgraded version and that a new type of arresting cable had already been researched.

They decided to authorize Li Yunfei to promote this aircraft carrier arresting cable to boost national morale.

The reason is simple, the performance is too backward and can be demonstrated.

Not to mention, this aircraft carrier arresting cable was exported to the United States before, and the other party is well aware of its performance, so there is no need to keep it secret.

Their fickle attitude is very similar to the behavior of military fans who are fickle.

"Our aircraft carrier arresting cable has been domestically produced for many years. Even the US aircraft carrier uses this type of cable. Its performance is absolutely guaranteed."

"We welcome overseas customers to purchase. One piece is only priced at US$280 million and all are in stock."

"Of course, due to some reasons, we have decided to suspend the export of aircraft carrier arresting cables to the United States. If they can be exported, the price of a single cable is 14 million US dollars." Li Yunfei began to promote in the live broadcast room.

The performance of this aircraft carrier arresting cable is indeed backward, but it is still at the leading level in the international market.

If it can be used to open up the international market and enter the high-end field, it would be perfect.

Not to mention, this is $200,000 cheaper than the price the United States sells to its allies, which can be said to be quite a conscience deal.

The audience's attention in the live broadcast room was not on the selling price of the aircraft carrier's arresting cable at this time.

They were more curious about why the troops had no idea about the product after so many years of being domestically produced.

Some black people even seized on this point and made malicious speculations.

"Director, we have been domestically producing for many years. Have you never informed the military that we have it?"

"That's why. If we had known you had it, we wouldn't have had to be strangled by others for so many years."

"Is it because the US is charging you a high price per unit? Do you want to make some dirty money by violating your conscience?"

Li Yunfei looked at the barrage and suddenly felt sweaty.

He wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and said, "There is no concealment of this. The main reason is that the army didn't ask us!"

"As for making dirty money, that's completely untrue. The production cost of one of our poles is $250,000, and the export price to the U.S. is only $300,000. There is no profit margin at all."

This answer was very contrasting and immediately amused the audience in the live broadcast room.

“Troops: Why don’t you say you have it?
Factory Manager: You didn’t ask [wipe sweat! ]”

"I've always felt that we are being strangled by Europe and the United States. Suddenly, I have a feeling that maybe we have been wearing our sweaters backwards all this time."

"Don't panic if you're stuck. Check your own home first. Just in the factory director's factory alone, how many good things have been found!"

"Troops: You have this? Why didn't you tell me!

Factory Manager: You didn’t? I thought you were [stunned]”

“Double-tailed Scorpion Drone (previously): I’m going to deliver a package!

Twin-Tailed Scorpion Drone (Present): I'm going to send off another courier!"

"These days, any express delivery is still delivery, even Dongfeng Express is still delivery!"

At this moment, inside the Oss Steel Plant.

Michael Robin, who couldn't sleep anyway, opened Li Yunfei's live broadcast room. He watched the live broadcast with translation software and simultaneous interpretation headphones, and became more and more angry.

He couldn't help but register a Douyin account for himself, and then posted barrages of comments, asking questions non-stop. However, these comments were instantly drowned out and did not attract Li Yunfei's attention at all.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Finally, he couldn't help it and recharged 10,000 US dollars. After he spent it all, he attracted the attention of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Austria Steel Plant, isn't this an American company that lost 4 billion US dollars?"

"A high-end imitation, right?"

"If this is a high-quality imitation account, I would call it a good job. If this is an official account, then I would call it a unique skill."

"I'm curious. Four billion US dollars is not a small amount of money. Can they afford it?"

"Fuck, guys, this is the real official account, they are here to settle accounts with the anchor!"

Li Yunfei looked at the barrage of comments sent by Michael Robin, and a row of question marks appeared above his head.

This foreigner actually questioned why he didn't deliver the goods on time.

He shrugged in the live broadcast room, then clicked on the video call with Michael Robin.

In the video, the person opposite was wearing pajamas, had messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, and a pale face without any blood.

He looked at Li Yunfei and asked loudly: "Li, we have investigated it clearly. You are deliberately not shipping the goods!"

"Chinese businessmen have always advocated honesty and trustworthiness. Are you living up to the traditional virtues you have always advocated by doing this?"

Li Yunfei curled his lips and retorted: "Mr. Michael, our liquidated damages have been paid in full."

"You Westerners don't value the spirit of contract. We have always acted in accordance with the contract. If we breach the contract, we will pay the penalty."

"By the way, how is the preparation of your liquidated damages going?"

Michael Robin was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said with a headache: "Don't rush us, don't rush us, we are already raising the funds."

If it were an ordinary small country, it could simply refuse to recognize the order, but this trick is useless for rabbits.

In the past few days, several bigwigs in the U.S. Congress have warned Michael Robin to abide by the spirit of the contract.

After all, compared with these 4 billion US dollars, the annual trade volume between the two sides is nearly 1 trillion US dollars.

The amount of their investment in China is as high as tens of trillions of US dollars.

If the two sides really fall out because of this incident, it would be a loss. Michael Robin has no doubt that if that were the case.

There is no need for others to take action. In the United States alone, there are hundreds or thousands of people who will kill themselves without a burial place.

"Li, if we want to import your aircraft carrier arresting cables, can the price be lower?"

"After all, the previous price was only US$300,000 per stick. Fourteen million US dollars now is really too much." Michael Robin couldn't help but plead.

When he thought of the aircraft carrier arresting cable order between him and the US Navy, he couldn't help but get a headache.

Oss Steel can afford to pay the US$4 billion penalty for breach of contract on the order with Rabbit.

But if they default on their contract with the US Navy again, they will be on the verge of bankruptcy.

They need to restart the production line to produce aircraft carrier arresting cables, which will take at least half a year. During this period, they have to place at least two orders, each for sixty cables.

Li Yunfei looked at the other party and asked, "Mr. Michael, is this price really too high?"

"This is not the price you quoted us. To be honest, I was at the bidding site at the time and I was shocked."

"It turns out that the aircraft carrier arresting cables we produce are so valuable!"

Michael Robin sighed helplessly and was about to exit the video call.

At this moment, he finally realized how helpless and powerless it was to have someone strangle you.

"Mr. Michael, please don't hang up the video call. I have one thing left to say." Li Yunfei interrupted.
