Chapter 273 BMW X's unexpected popularity sets a new record

When Jiang Hui was inspecting in Shenzhen, far away in the border area of ​​Pakistan near Afghanistan, several BMW Xs loaded with various supplies urgently needed by the Afghan opposition forces were speeding on the gravel-filled road without any problems.

These roads are difficult for ordinary cars to drive on.

Especially in some sections of the road, there is simply not enough width for cars to pass.

But the BMW X is different.

It is only about one meter wide and can be used on most roads.

This is very meaningful for Pakistan to transport supplies into the Afghan border.

Polar bears have occupied Argentina for more than a year, and the surrounding countries have felt considerable pressure.

Especially since Pakistan itself has a relatively good relationship with the United States, it is even more willing to support the opposition forces in Argentina in combating polar bears.

The United States also provided some financial support.

Previously, part of BMW 70 products were transported to Afghanistan through Pakistan, and some of these products would definitely be intercepted by Pakistan.

Therefore, the name of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory has spread among a special group of people.

Even after the BMW X was launched, Pakistan purchased dozens of them through embassy staff for trial use.

Once you use it, you'll become addicted.

The relevant departments of Pakistan have officially arranged personnel to come to China to discuss the import of BMW X with Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturer.

Of course, the other party came here to bargain for a lower price and did not want to purchase at the high price that the United States paid to Afghanistan before.

We even propose some special improvement plans based on their usage experience.

"Director, the relevant departments have officially contacted us. The day after tomorrow, Pakistani personnel will come to our factory to inspect and discuss the purchase of BMW X."

"They may even consider cooperating with us to invest in building a production line for the BMW X in Pakistan."

Li Zifu called Jiang Hui excitedly.

In order to make this call, he waited for a full hour, and with the help of the operator, he finally got through to BMW Technology's contact office in Shenzhen.

Then he agreed on a time with the other party and asked Jiang Hui to wait for him to call again within the agreed time.

After another wait, he finally heard Jiang Hui's voice in the microphone.

"Pakistan has taken a fancy to our BMW X?"

When designing the three-wheeled vehicle, Jiang Hui mainly considered domestic demand and did not really expect it to be exported to earn foreign exchange.

I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise this time.

"Yes, I specifically asked around, and the other party should be very sincere in discussing the purchase this time."

“If the price is right, they will probably buy in larger quantities.”

"But the other party may bargain hard, so it is impossible to purchase at a high price."

Although Pakistan's current economic strength is stronger than in later generations, its per capita level is higher than that of China.

But after all, the size is just there, and it cannot be compared with the rich people in the Middle East.

Therefore, it is normal for the other party to bargain hard, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble to inspect and negotiate.

"There's nothing wrong with bargaining, but we'll try to provide them with a customized plan. For the areas they don't care about, we can take some appropriate cost-cutting measures."

“This will also prevent the products exported to Pakistan from being exactly the same as others, which would affect other export orders.”

The BMW X is priced at 2888 yuan in the country, which is less than 500 US dollars if converted according to the black market exchange rate.

Of course, it is impossible for Jiang Hui to lower the price so much all at once.

Otherwise, it will affect the export prices of BMW S and BMW 70, which will not be worth the loss.

"Director, their inspection team will stay in the capital for about a week, and you should be back by then."

"During this period of time, I will communicate with them first and feel out their background?"

Lizi Fuji very much hopes that this export order can be won, so that this year's export earnings will hopefully exceed last year's level.

"Sure, let's see who the other party is and see if we have the power to make the decision."

"We can also see what these people think personally, whether they are truly devoted to the country, or are they more concerned about family and personal interests."

"Based on the actual situation, we can also adopt some more flexible solutions."

Jiang Hui's words were rather vague, and he did not directly say that he could start some under-the-table transactions with others.

Just like asking Austin for help in purchasing a car production line, as long as the goal can be achieved and the other party gets a big piece of fat meat, it is completely acceptable.

Anyway, in Pakistan, much of the power is actually in the hands of a few big families.

Jiang Hui felt that as long as Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory gave the handling personnel some benefits, they would definitely be able to purchase the BMW X at a reasonable high price. Anyway, no matter how expensive it was, it would not be higher than the price of the motorcycles purchased with American aid, and they could explain it to the country.

"No problem. I'll focus on this matter during this period of time."

Li Zifu was not stupid and he immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Hui's words.

After the two ended their call, he immediately took action.

Jiang Hui also asked people to buy return tickets.

Things in Shenzhen have almost been dealt with.

However, after Jiang Hui returned to the capital, he did not immediately contact the Pakistani delegation. Instead, after understanding the situation, he went to the American Embassy.

Pakistan thinks that the BMW X is very useful, which is much more convincing than the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory's own boasting.

"Jiang, I will confirm the information you mentioned as soon as possible and then report it to Ambassador Woodcock."

As an old acquaintance of Jiang Hui, Smith listened carefully to Jiang Hui's explanation today and also looked at some pictures of BMW X being used in various scenarios.

Based on his past understanding of Jiang Hui, he basically believed that what Jiang Hui said was true.

After all, he only needed to do a little investigation to find out the situation in Pakistan, so Jiang Hui had no need to lie.

"No problem. There just so happens that a delegation from Pakistan is coming to the capital for inspection. I believe you can find a way to contact them and verify what I said."

"The BMW X can not only be used to transport various goods, but can also be used in various mountainous areas in Afghanistan to help transport military supplies."

"Even some heavy weapons such as mortars can be quickly transported by BMW X, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness and combat effectiveness of the Afghan opposition forces."

"In this regard, many of our Chinese military factories can provide auxiliary products and contribute to the cause of opposing polar bear oppression."

Jiang Hui knew that America was now very enthusiastic about suppressing polar bears.

Last year, the polar bear got a little carried away and organized the world's largest military exercise, which directly scared the United States and its allies.

If America were asked to roll up its sleeves and fight the polar bears now, they would definitely not have the courage.

However, America is very proactive in weakening the polar bear's strength by spending money.

"The polar bear's air force is very powerful. They have a large number of helicopters deployed in Afghanistan. It is difficult for heavy weapons to play a role there."

Smith has always been very concerned about the situation in Argentina.

The United States will also share some intelligence related to Afghanistan in a timely manner so that they can make more accurate judgments.

"The problem is actually very simple. Polar Bear has a lot of helicopters, so we can provide some weapons that can attack helicopters to the opposition forces in Afghanistan."

"For example, individual air defense missiles. It is said that there are related manufacturers in the United States that can produce them. If you can license this technology to relevant Chinese manufacturers, then a large number of individual missiles will appear in the hands of the opposition forces in Argentina, making an outstanding contribution to the fight against the polar bear's air force."

Jiang Hui knew that in order to strike the Polar Bear's air force in Afghanistan and further support the strength of the opposition, the United States donated the most advanced individual missiles in the country to Afghanistan.

Although China is also developing this thing, there is definitely a big gap in technology between it and America.

If we take this opportunity to bring back some technology from America, it will also be beneficial to the development of China's military industry.

"I need to report this matter, but I personally think your suggestion is very creative."

Smith also knew something about the weapons that Jiang Hui mentioned.

If it can really appear in large numbers in Afghanistan, then we can really consider providing the technology to China.

At that time, America will provide the technology and China will provide the products, and everyone will work together to fight the polar bear.

Who knows, this kind of cooperation may further improve Smith's position.

After communicating with Smith, the American Embassy quickly took action.

They not only contacted relevant domestic departments to understand the situation, but also contacted the Pakistani embassy and delegation to confirm relevant information.

After asking around, you will naturally know that the BMW X is really suitable for use in places where road conditions are not very good.

Although there is no ride comfort to speak of, the most important thing for the Afghan opposition is to have something to help transport various weapons such as mortars, rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, etc.

The Pakistani delegation also learned from their communication with the United States that the other side planned to use the BMW X as the next step in aiding Afghanistan.

This will inevitably lead to production capacity problems at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant in the short term.

So they also accelerated the pace of negotiations.

Just five days after Jiang Hui returned to the capital, the Pakistani delegation purchased 1500 BMW Xs from the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory at a unit price of US$10000.

Soon after, the US Embassy also officially finalized a large order for BMW X and mortars and other weapons, requiring Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory to provide 20000 BMW X to the Afghan opposition this year.

The entire Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory produced only 3 motorcycles last year, but now the BMW X alone has received a large order for 3 units.

This set another record.
