Chapter 592 Firmness! Selling a plane for 7? We'll raise the price on the spot!
The more he looked at Su Wanqing, the more he liked her—this girl was capable, courageous, and principled. She was not greedy for money or took credit for herself, and her heart was pure and clear. She was simply a treasure.
Su Wanqing waved her hand: "However, Marshal, I suggest we consider selling it. But not to earn that foreign exchange—we can use this opportunity to exchange for some technology and equipment that we lack."
Because of these things, even if she goes to the United States, she won't easily get access to them for free. But if she brings them back, she can not only get them for free but also upgrade her skills and crush her opponent.
The marshal smiled, narrowing his eyes: "Little Su, that's exactly what I was thinking!" He then turned and held up one finger to Anderson:
"We can buy one, for 60 million RMB. However, we have an additional requirement—your company must also provide a batch of precision medical equipment and a complete set of technical drawings for a satellite communication module. If you agree, sign here; if not, forget it."
Smith panicked, his face turning red: "This is a company secret, we've never transferred it to anyone—"
Anderson grabbed Smith, pulled him aside, and said rapidly in a low voice in English:
"That's just the company's trade secret, not our secret."
And it's not even on the defense technology embargo list. Think about it calmly: if we both go back empty-handed, what consequences await us? But if we can bring back aircraft that are two generations more advanced than our previous ones, what position would we get promoted at headquarters? How much bonus would we receive? Besides, they don't want military-controlled embargoed technology; it's perfectly feasible within commercial licensing."
Smith weighed the company's secrets against his own financial future, deciding which was more important, and said, "Okay... but this matter must be kept absolutely secret."
Anderson smiled with satisfaction, turned around and walked back, extending his hand: "Then it's a pleasure to cooperate. If there's anything else good in the future, we can continue to cooperate."
Su Wanqing then asked, "By the way, Mr. Anderson, I'd like to inquire—where are your country's top laboratories and military research and development bases located? And which companies are researching truly cutting-edge technologies?"
Upon hearing this, Smith instinctively widened his eyes: "This is a top secret in our country, how could I possibly tell you—"
Su Wanqing calmly interrupted him: "Next time you come, my friend will send over another batch of top-quality goods, guaranteed to be world-class. I can reserve one item for you two first. This promise is valid indefinitely and can be written into the contract."
The next second, Smith unhesitatingly revealed all the coordinates of key facilities and intelligence on several top laboratories that they had in their possession.
Today's experience made him realize that behind this woman stood an unfathomable international supply chain, capable of easily acquiring top-tier equipment that even the United States couldn't manufacture. If he could exchange some intelligence for priority purchasing rights in the future, his status and worth at headquarters would be far greater than what he had today—a guaranteed profit.
As I said before, company secrets belong to the company, but money and position belong to you.
After listening, Su Wanqing silently memorized all the key coordinates. Finding these places on her own, even if she went abroad to investigate, would be incredibly difficult.
Now things are much better; the other party has proactively laid out the map.
We'll go through everything then, and get everything we can, useful or useless, for free.
The marshal opened his mouth, glanced at Smith and Anderson's obsequious expressions, then at Su Wanqing's unchanging face, and silently mourned for three seconds for the coordinates Smith had given him.
Others might not understand, but he had a vague idea—this girl's incredibly resourceful friend had probably dabbled in all the world's top technologies. Fighter jets, radar, machine tools, aero engines—weren't those things people kept tightly under wraps? And she got them just like that.
Now that she's gotten the exact location of their hideout from them, her "friend" is probably going to take everything from their house next.
Su Wanqing was also very satisfied, and the two sides temporarily set up a negotiation venue in this abandoned factory. Compared to the arrogant demeanor of the foreigners in the past, with their legs crossed, strutting and glaring, this time Anderson and his negotiation team lowered their stance to the dust—
The marshal and the Chinese personnel present thoroughly experienced what it felt like to negotiate as "superior people," and it was truly exhilarating.
So this is what it feels like to have confidence and solid assets—no need to put on a smiling face, no need to swallow your pride, and no need to be completely controlled by the other party's last-minute price increases.
Smith turned to the last page of the contract and handed over the pen: "Since neither party has any objections, please sign here."
The marshal smiled slightly and raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a moment."
Smith's expression changed slightly: "Are you going to renege on your promise?"
The marshal leaned back in his chair unhurriedly, crossed his legs, and smiled serenely.
"I suddenly remembered—the reason we're selling this plane to you is because it's a top-of-the-line product. You can take the technology back and use it directly, saving you countless years of research and development costs."
Therefore, I feel that the current conditions are not fair enough, and I want to raise the price temporarily.
I just heard from Su that you've also developed a new civilian-band version of a phased array radar, which happens to be exactly what our civil aviation department urgently needs. You must include this with your shipment.
Smith jumped to his feet, his face flushed red: "You! You've gone too far! Sixty million RMB is nearly forty million USD, enough to buy five or six of the latest Boeing passenger planes in China!"
"You already took the blueprints for precision medical equipment and satellite communications, which was already a technology package worth tens of millions of dollars. Now you want to add phased array radar as well?"
The marshal smiled slightly and calmly shrugged:
"Since you feel it's not worthwhile, then let's cancel the deal. Anyway, we really don't want to sell. Tomorrow we'll hold a press conference to announce to the world that China has independently developed a large passenger aircraft that surpasses world-class standards, and is officially entering the international civil aviation market from today."
Upon hearing this, Anderson immediately grabbed Smith's sleeve, pressed him back into his chair, and spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "Fine...we'll change it. Please keep your word and don't raise the price again."
The marshal shrugged and smiled frankly: "We learned this from you guys."
Everyone present felt refreshed – in the past, raising prices on the spot was always the other party's prerogative, and they always had them completely under their control.
But today, they not only sold an aircraft for a staggering 60 million, but also acquired precision medical equipment, satellite communication blueprints, and civilian phased array radar technology.
If you were to buy any one of these items individually from a foreigner, they wouldn't be able to negotiate a deal without demanding hundreds of millions of dollars. And with all three combined...
"Wow, this means this plane has earned nearly 70 million US dollars in foreign exchange this time?"
