Chapter 319 A historical record

“Since the Americans have rejected the big food country’s plan to purchase advanced missiles, it means that this matter is not a matter of money.”

“It can be solved with money. The problem is actually not a problem for the big food countries.”

“So we don’t need to worry about the big food countries giving up the purchase because the price is too high. What we need to worry about is the missiles we provide, or we. Can the missiles that are willing to be sold to foreign countries meet the requirements of Dashi? "

"On the premise of meeting the requirements of Dashi, even if it is US$100 million or even US$200 million, it will be enough. No problem.”

Jiang Hui gave his judgment with great certainty.

The Seventh Machinery Department asked me to serve as a consultant. Isn’t it because I hope that I can give some reference opinions based on my judgment on the international environment?

If it’s just peace of mind, it doesn’t have any special meaning.

It would be a real pity if China would earn hundreds of millions of dollars less in foreign exchange because its opinions were not specific and firm enough.

With China's current economic level and the financial support provided to the Seventh Machinery Department, there are too many things that can be done with a few hundred million dollars.

Maybe because of the extra hundreds of millions of dollars, various advanced models of intercontinental ballistic missiles and cruise missiles can be launched earlier, allowing China to speak more confidently on the world stage.

The significance of this kind of thing is absolutely difficult to measure.

"Xiao Jiang, are you saying that missiles worth 100 million US dollars or even 200 million US dollars each can be accepted by big food countries?"

Chen Erdong couldn't help but interject.

The department assigned him to be responsible for negotiating with Dashi. Naturally, he was very concerned about how much the products in his hands could be sold for.

Although there are different results under different calculations of cost, no matter how you calculate it, the missiles that the Seventh Aircraft Department plans to sell to the big food country cannot exceed 100 million yuan each, not even 10 million yuan. arrive.

But Jiang Hui wanted to sell it for US$100 million, or even US$200 million.

No one in the Seventh Machinery Department has ever thought about this kind of thing.

According to the thinking of many people, this time the overall sales volume of the arms trade with the big food country exceeds 100 million US dollars, which is already a huge breakthrough.

How dare you think that selling a missile can complete this task of earning foreign exchange?

Even missiles made of gold are not that expensive, right?

However, they don’t know that in the eyes of the Great Eater, people outside think that the value of medium-range ballistic missiles that may carry special warheads is much more expensive than gold of the same weight.

People who don’t lack something sometimes find it difficult to understand the special value and significance of this thing.

“Yes, I am confident that the other party can accept it. The price of at least US$100 million per piece is acceptable.”

“But the other party may propose that there is something in the missiles we sell. One or several of them need to carry special warheads in order to maintain this deterrent effect and achieve the purpose of this arms purchase.”

Regardless of how the Seventh Machinery Department negotiates with the Great Food Nation in the end, Jiang Hui may want to speak out first about this request that the other party is very likely to raise, so that the Seventh Machinery Department can have a better response plan.

Special warheads must be very sensitive.

Whether it can be sold externally, and whose hands the control will be handed over after it is sold, are all very particular.

Of course, Jiang Hui does not intend to participate in the details.

He doesn’t want to have to carry a special secret mission for the rest of his life, which will affect many of his plans.

"Although we are short of money, we certainly can't just sell special warheads everywhere."

Hearing Jiang Hui emphasize the special warheads again, Chen Erdong also felt a little more worried.

He knew very well what Jiang Hui meant by the special warhead, and he also understood the purpose of Dashi Country wanting such a thing.

The purpose of spending a lot of money is to deter neighboring countries. If there is no special warhead, or the other party does not think there is a special warhead, then the deterrence effect will be greatly reduced.

After all, even if there are dozens of medium-range ballistic missiles, without special warheads, their lethality is actually relatively limited.

The situation is different with special warheads. Even if there is only one, it will have a huge impact on the Middle East.

Whether it is Baghdad, Persia, or the Hebrew Kingdom, as long as the capital area is hit by a special warhead, the entire country will almost be destroyed.

Especially because the territory of the Hebrew Kingdom is small, the impact of the special warhead is even greater.

“There are many methods for this. For example, among all the missiles we trade, only one can have a special warhead.”

“Then the launch code of this special warhead can be mastered. On our side.”

"If the big food country really launches, they need to get the password from us. In this way, the situation will be under control."

"Even if the United States knows it The specific content of this transaction should be acceptable. "

When Jiang Hui said this, Chen Erdong's eyes immediately lit up.

Can arms deals still be conducted like this?

Everything has been sold to others, but the control is still in your own hands?

Can people from big food countries be willing?

"Xiao Jiang, how high do you think the possibility is that the other party will eventually agree to this proposal?"

"At least 80%!

"80%? ”

“Only more!” After all, no other country in the world will sell special warheads to Big Food Country, they have no choice! ”

Jiang Hui gave his judgment loudly.

This gave Chen Erdong a lot more confidence.

Before, the Seventh Machinery Department invited Jiang Hui to serve as a consultant. Some people thought it was pointless to make a fuss out of a molehill.

Now Chen Erdong felt that Jiang Hui’s words alone were priceless.

There is no one in China who is more suitable to serve as an arms sales consultant than Jiang Hui.

"Okay, then we will formally contact Dashi first to see if the other party's demands are the same as what we just communicated."

"If so, then our asking price will be $100 million. One, at least 10 must be purchased. Only in this way can we consider exporting a special warhead."

Chen Erdong directly expressed his preliminary decision.

However, Jiang Hui felt that this card was too cautious and he could have been more bold.

"Leader, US$100 million per coin is our base price. In case a big food wants to bargain, we will give the other party some space, so I suggest that we offer US$200 million per coin."

"Then how much deterrence can 10 missiles have? I think there must be 50 missiles anyway."

"At that time, we can provide a training service and arrange a group of technical personnel to go to Dali , Baojiaohui will definitely satisfy Da Shiren!"

When Jiang Hui said this, everyone present was shocked. 50 missiles, each worth 200 million U.S. dollars, that’s 10 billion U.S. dollars!

10 billion US dollars in 1983!

Although this is just an offer and the other party will most likely bargain, but even if the price is cut in half, it is still a sky-high price.

To put it bluntly, even in the international arms market, this transaction is a super-large deal that has been rare in many years.

The total amount of foreign exchange earned by all the items China has sold to foreign military over the years is not that high.

This amount is directly higher than the entire foreign exchange reserves of China.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, the shock brought by this data is like that in later generations when the foreign exchange reserves were two to three trillion US dollars, someone concluded a super large order that could double the foreign exchange reserves. .

Even Chen Erdong, who was in a high position, couldn't believe it.

"Xiao Jiang, are you sure you're not joking?"

Chen Erdong took a deep breath and stared at Jiang Hui with bright eyes, wanting to see the feasibility of this plan.

"Leader, there is nothing to lose by giving it a try. This negotiation is inherently special. The products sold are even more special. It is normal for the amount to be special."

"Just As we just communicated, if the amount of arms purchase this time is particularly small, the countries surrounding Dashi will not think that Dashi has bought special warheads from us."

"But 10 billion US dollars. The transaction amount is different. Even if we tell Dashi that this transaction is an ordinary missile transaction, someone must believe it, right?”

Jiang Hui's statement can be said to have brought psychological tactics to the extreme.

Human nature is like this sometimes.

"Okay, then do as you say!"

"In the next few days, you will act directly with our delegation."

Chen Er After Dong said this, he ended this exchange.

Regarding this negotiation plan, he still needs to report to the ministry.

In the next few days, Jiang Hui naturally followed the negotiation team composed of the Seventh Machinery Department and other departments and came to Dashi in a low-key manner.

This is Jiang Hui’s second time abroad.

However, this trip abroad is destined to not involve any private activities.

Jiang Hui even tried his best to make himself disappear from everyone's sight, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to his future career development.

On the first day of negotiations, Prince Abdullah from Dashi attended in person. After the two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, they began to get down to business.

This negotiation is very important, so there are not many people actually attending the meeting.

Even Jiang Hui, although he went to Dashi with the delegation, was not qualified to negotiate directly in the small conference room.

Big things are settled in small meetings, and small things are settled in general meetings.

This method of doing things is actually common all over the world.

On the first day of the meeting, Dashi directly brought up his idea of ​​​​purchasing medium-range ballistic missiles, and also implicitly expressed his desire to purchase special warheads.

China also immediately responded to the needs of the big food country, making it clear that medium-range ballistic missiles can be sold as long as the conditions are right.

As for the special warhead, the Seventh Machinery Department did not immediately give a definite answer, but it did not reject it either.

"Prince, China did not refuse us to discuss special warheads this time. I think this time there is hope that the arms sales will develop in the direction we want."

After the meeting , several negotiators from the Big Food Country also immediately held an internal meeting to summarize today's results and consider the next direction of negotiations.

"Ibudu, how do you think we should convince the Chinese people to agree to include some special warheads in the missiles they sell?"

Although China did not refuse to discuss the special warheads with Dashi today, But Abdullah also knows that special warheads are not so easy to procure.

If the big food country doesn’t show some sincerity, China will be absolutely unwilling and will not dare to sell special warheads to them.

“China does not even have an ambassadorial relationship with us, but the other party is willing to arrange a delegation to negotiate. The main reason is naturally that it hopes that this transaction can bring them a large amount of US dollars. ”

“So the most important thing is that the price we offer must be sincere enough, otherwise the other party will not take the risk.”

"Furthermore, the other side is definitely worried that after we get the special warhead, we will do whatever we want, which will have a very uncontrollable impact on world peace. This is something they will never accept."

"As long as If I satisfy the other party on these two points, I think this business can be done.”

Ibrahimovic is confident now.

Judging from today’s exchange with the Chinese delegation, he felt the sincerity of the other party.

He even saw the possibility of reaching this arms deal that would affect the world in a short period of time.

"Everything is easy to discuss in terms of price. We can ask them to make a price. No matter how much they ask, we just agree!"

Abdallah is still very confident about the foreign exchange reserves of the big food country. I feel like I don’t need to worry about money.

“As for your second point, we can also ask the other party to put forward their conditions. As long as they are not too excessive, we will accept them.”

With Abdullah With these words, Ibudu's confidence became even more abundant.

On the second day of negotiations, the two parties directly had further exchanges.

Of course, there are some doubts as to whether the performance of the medium-range ballistic missiles provided by China is really as good as advertised.

In order to solve this question, China directly invited Dashi personnel to fly to the city where a certain ballistic base is located, and then made an exception and invited them to watch the launch of a target missile on the spot.

Seeing the missile hit the target accurately within the expected time, the attitude of Dashi immediately became more positive.

When Huaxia directly offered the sky-high price of US$200 million per piece, the other party agreed directly without any bargaining behavior!

Even the number of 50 missiles, the other party hesitated slightly. After the two sides reached an agreement on the content of special warheads, Abdullah also agreed to this number.

In this way, in less than a month, an arms transaction agreement with a transaction value of up to 10 billion US dollars was officially signed.

Dashi is also very sincere. The missiles from China have not yet been delivered, and the first batch of US$3 billion in deposits has already arrived in China's designated account.

This inhumane approach has brought a huge impact to the Seventh Machinery Department and even domestic military industrial enterprises.

A historical record was born like this.
