Chapter 340 Win-win, who loses?

As long as there are enough interests, Americans will be very efficient.

Anyway, now that there is pressure from the polar bears, it is not difficult for the relevant departments to make the process of this cooperation stand up to scrutiny.

Purchasing 1000 million US dollars from China and selling it to relevant departments for tens of millions of US dollars is actually an opportunity for many people to have enough food and drink, so some people are naturally very motivated.

Soon, China received feedback from America.

A formal negotiation team has also been formed, and both parties hope to reach an agreement on the plan in the shortest possible time.

After all, as long as the contract is signed, it is definitely a win-win situation.

China has obtained a complete set of technical data on the Black Hawk helicopter, which can greatly improve the level of its aviation industry.

In addition, by exporting a batch of launch vehicles from the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, additional foreign exchange earnings can be obtained.

The dollars spent on signing the contract to purchase Black Hawk helicopters this month can be fully earned back.

The saved funds can be used to purchase other more useful equipment and products.

"Xiao Jiang, the United States has officially made its move. They agree to this technology exchange in principle, but they disagree on some of the conditions."

Since it involved a very important negotiation project, Zhu Jiansheng asked Jiang Hui to work in the capital temporarily for a period of time.

Anyway, many projects at BMW have already been put on track, so Jiang Hui can give remote control commands in a short period of time.

Besides, BMW Technology also has investments in the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant, so Jiang Hui naturally has to confirm the progress of some related projects.

“That’s when everyone starts bargaining.”

"It's nothing more than the sales price and sales volume of missile launchers, as well as the cost of technology transfer, right?"

Jiang Hui quickly made his judgment based on his understanding of Americans.

"That's true. Our offer for each missile launcher was $2000 million, but the other party said they could only accept $1000 million."

"This is the information obtained after the relevant departments communicated with them several times."

"Even at this price, the other party hopes to purchase only 20 vehicles, not 50."

"As for the technology transfer fee, the other party believes that the value of the entire set of Black Hawk helicopter technology is higher than that of the launch vehicle, so hedging the two technical data is already the greatest concession. Further provision of a production line is unacceptable unless we spend money to purchase it."

The current plan is better than Zhu Jiansheng's bottom line plan, so his emotions are relatively stable.

"How much does America want to sell those production equipment for?"

As long as the price is right, it is definitely worth purchasing the Black Hawk helicopter production line directly.

There must be some high-end machine tool products in it, which are normally difficult to buy on the market.

Especially after the international environment changes in the future, those advanced equipment will be even more difficult to purchase from the international market.

"The other party directly offered a sky-high price of $10 billion. Even if it is a negotiation, I think the possibility of it being less than $5 million is very low."

"The price discussed previously for purchasing 24 Black Hawk helicopters was only $1.5 million. It would be difficult for the relevant departments to agree to spend such a high price to purchase production equipment."

"Especially when the other party was willing to exchange the technical data of the Black Hawk helicopter for the technology of the intercontinental ballistic missile launcher, some leaders felt that we could first use the existing production equipment to try to process the parts of the Black Hawk helicopter, and then import the parts that could not meet the demand."

The matter of production line procurement actually has little to do with Zhu Jiansheng.

After all, after the Black Hawk helicopter production line is brought back, it will definitely not be placed at the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, but will be selected from several domestic helicopter companies.

Helicopter manufacturers such as Hongdu Machinery Factory have the ability to produce some helicopter parts, so it is most appropriate to let them digest and absorb the technology of the Black Hawk helicopter.

Zhu Jiansheng could understand this point.

However, it would be very frustrating if other plans could not be decided because of these clauses.

"From the perspective of the historical opportunity for development, it is worth spending a little more now."

"But the domestic foreign exchange is indeed very tight, and the relevant departments are unwilling to spend such a high price to purchase production lines, which I can understand."

The gap in domestic military equipment is not limited to helicopters.

This requires an improvement in the overall industrial level to achieve explosive growth.

The improvement of industrial level requires a significant improvement in the overall economic level.

At this stage, it is indeed more valuable to use limited funds to develop the entire economy than to develop a single product.

This view is still very popular.

"Yes, now it depends on how the negotiation team discusses with the United States, and also on the ideas of the higher-ups."

"Anyway, no matter what the final discussion is, as long as both parties can reach an agreement, I can accept it."

Zhu Jiansheng is very satisfied that the situation of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory can be further revitalized through exports.

As for the impact of technology leaks, after thinking it through, I am not so worried about it.

To maintain deterrence, the most critical thing is to further improve the level of various types of missiles.

Selling missile launcher technology in exchange for more funds and technology to develop advanced missiles seems to be a more effective way to maintain China's strategic deterrence.

……

Negotiations for important arms sales often last for a relatively long time.

It is normal for some projects to take several years to discuss.

Of course, some things are done very quickly and everything is settled within a month.

Whether it is the United States or China, both hope that trade related to Black Hawk helicopters and intercontinental ballistic missile launchers will be implemented as soon as possible.

Especially in the United States, the interests of a series of people are directly involved in these trades, and they hope that they can be finalized quickly.

July has just passed, and after concessions from both parties, this valuable contract has been officially finalized.

According to the contract, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory will sell 1000 missile launchers to the United States at a price of US$30 million per vehicle, while Sikorsky will continue to sell 1.5 Black Hawk helicopters at the previously agreed price of US$24 million.

At the same time, China transferred the complete set of missile launcher technology to the United States.

The United States transferred the complete set of technical data of the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter to China, but required that it be limited to China's own use and not transferred. Similar products could not be sold to third parties in the future.

On paper, it is an exchange of technical information, and no one needs to pay any technology transfer fees to the other party.

However, America and China each have their own solutions.

United Defense will definitely need to pay Sikorsky a sum of money as the price for them to obtain the technology of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers.

After all, this technology was exchanged for Sikorsky's Black Hawk helicopter technology.

"Smith, you can arrange for someone to conduct a special investigation to see if China has any technology that is relatively good." "Then we can see if we can organize domestic manufacturers to exchange technical information or purchase technology from China."

Woodcock tasted the sweetness of this transaction.

So even though China's overall technological level is far behind that of the United States, and it is difficult to find an advantageous project like an intercontinental ballistic missile launcher, he does not want to give up completely.

What if you find it?

That's another win-win solution.

"Well, I will pay more attention to the situation of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory and some other factories."

"The Hummer military vehicles and missile launcher technologies that have emerged in China in recent years are very original and have brought great surprises to everyone."

"I have a feeling that the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory or Capital Polytechnic University will have some new technologies in the future that are worth our attention."

There were many aspects of this transaction that Smith could not intervene in, but Woodcock gave him some of the benefits afterwards.

Smith is not stupid, so he can naturally guess some things.

But in this kind of situation, it's good for everyone, so he definitely won't say anything nonsense.

"This factory is really weird. It's amazing that they can come up with such a creative new product in a place like China."

"I think it is a very correct plan to bring China together to deal with polar bears."

"The role they can play will be greater than many people in China imagine. We must find a way to increase cooperation between China and China."

The greater the cooperation between China and the United States, the greater the significance of Ambassador Woodcock's presence.

Therefore, both publicly and privately, he hopes that the cooperative relationship between the two sides can be strengthened.

“Well, but I think we can also give some consideration to civilian products?
"Many products in China have very low production costs and very attractive selling prices. If we export them to our country, we can effectively curb the rise in prices of some commodities, which should also be beneficial to improving the domestic situation."

"At the same time, the technical level of many civilian products in China is relatively low. If our companies come to China to invest and build factories, those products should still have a good market."

"After all, although China is relatively poor, the population base is there, and the overall consumption capacity is still good."

After Smith said this, Woodcock nodded immediately.

"This direction is indeed worthy of our greater efforts."

"A worker in China only earns a few dozen yuan a month, which is only about 30 U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars according to the official exchange rate."

"This salary is not even enough to pay a day's salary for domestic workers."

"All labor-intensive industries are suitable for Chinese people to run. We can just import and use them directly."

"This will also make China's economy more dependent on us, which will help us further increase our influence on China in the future."

America's ambition to control the world has never disappeared.

Although China has been at odds with the United States for the past few decades, now that the situation has begun to change, Woodcock also hopes that America's influence in China can be greatly enhanced.

Especially as China's influence in helping to suppress polar bears has grown, America's demand in this regard has become even stronger.

As the cooperation between the two sides becomes closer, the value of Woodcock's existence will also become greater.

The benefits behind it will naturally be greater.

China will definitely support his ideas.

After all, these plans are generally beneficial to both parties.

Of course, these are all things for later.

……

"Jiang Hui, it seems that Dad got a promotion."

Jiang Hui, who had returned from the capital to continue his busy work at BMW, heard Zhu Lin tell him a good news as soon as he got home today.

Zhu Jiansheng has not served as vice president of Capital University of Technology for a particularly long time. Jiang Hui originally thought that he would not be promoted to president until next year at the earliest.

I didn't expect there would be movement now.

However, considering the movements at the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory during this period, this movement seems to be somewhat reasonable.

Among so many universities in China, this is the only one that can make such a big splash in its school-run enterprises, produce strategic products such as intercontinental ballistic missile launchers, and attract the United States to spend huge sums of money to purchase them.

Based on this achievement alone, no one can question Zhu Jiansheng's position as the principal.

Especially since there was already a popular Hummer military vehicle, it further established Zhu Jiansheng's special position in the Chinese automobile industry.

Especially in the field of military vehicles, Zhu Jiansheng dares to say he is second, and no one dares to say he is first.

Well, except Jiang Hui.

"That's a good thing. After Dad becomes the president of Capital University of Technology, he can better coordinate the resources of the entire school and develop it according to the previous plan."

"In time, Capital University of Technology will become one of the top universities in the country."

Every graduate hopes that his or her alma mater will become stronger after graduation, which is beneficial to all alumni.

Jiang Hui is naturally no exception.

"Yes, Dad has put all his energy into work in the past few years, and this can be considered as a reward for his efforts."

"I think the issue of the faculty committee you mentioned earlier will be settled by next year."

Zhu Lin must be very concerned about his father's future development.

Especially since she is now nominally the general manager of BMW Technology, and BMW Technology now has huge investments in the country.

Without a strong figure to escort it, BMW Technology’s development in China will definitely encounter some troubles.

Although relying on the foreign capital status, sometimes it can block a lot of things.

But when your plate gets big enough, things become complicated.

Not to mention anything else, once your development affects the interests of others, there will definitely be someone who will harm you.

Stealing official seals is too low-level. They will directly arrange people to check your fire protection, taxation, etc., which will definitely make you suffer a lot.

"I will have a good discussion with my father later. The operation of the academic committee members really needs to be accelerated."

"In the industry, he is widely regarded as a popular figure."
