Chapter 237 Super lobbying, huge orders coming
(The release order of Chapter 239 and 238 is reversed)
Participating in the exhibition is very hard, but the rewards are also great.
After three consecutive days of exhibition, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory received formal orders for 820 vehicles and potential orders for more than 3,000 vehicles.
On the night after the exhibition ended, Jiang Hui held a simple celebration banquet with everyone, and became busy again the next day.
According to his plan, the sales volume of BMW 70 this year should ideally reach more than 20,000 units, and directly reach the level of 100,000 units next year.
This development speed cannot be promoted step by step. It is best to get some unexpected help.
"Xiao Jiang, do you want to communicate directly with the American embassy to promote the BMW 70 as a target product for aid to Algeria?"
In this era, contacting foreign embassies is still a relatively sensitive matter. .
So to be on the safe side, this time Jiang Hui came over to report to Qin Hao beforehand.
Anyway, if this matter is done, it will definitely be a good thing for the First Machinery Department, and Qin Hao has no reason to object.
“Yes, I have also been paying attention to the changes in the situation in Afghanistan in the past six months.”
“There are more and more opposition forces in various places, but everyone’s activities are basically in the same place. It’s not a big city in Algeria, but in some mountainous areas or on the fringes of small cities.”
“These places generally don’t have any decent roads. Whether it is a BJ212 or a Humvee military vehicle, it is a little bit useless there. The use of one's own power is not conducive to the advancement of guerrilla warfare."
"Comparatively speaking, motorcycles are much more flexible, and they can basically be ridden on small roads or even no roads."
"A guerrilla group also has dozens of motorcycles. When the time comes, hundreds of people are dispatched for each operation to continuously carry out raids on polar bear convoys or strongholds. It should be able to have a very good impact."
"Our BMW 70 has a simple structure and a very light body. It is more suitable for the situation in Afghanistan than many military motorcycles."
Jiang Hui wants to go to the Americans to communicate about the BMW 70's aid to Afghanistan. He is sure It is necessary to prepare sufficient reasons.
Otherwise, the United States would not be stupid and would not waste this money.
“What you said seems to make sense. Cars are indeed not very suitable for Algeria’s guerrillas. On the contrary, lightweight products such as motorcycles and bicycles are in greater demand.”
"It's just that the Americans have higher requirements for the management of aid materials. Are you confident in convincing them?"
Qin Hao does not plan to come forward in person. Dealing with foreigners is not what he is good at. matter.
"You have to give it a try to know if it works. If someone happens to be thinking about how to change this situation, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't give it a try?"
Jiang Hui didn't. Talk too much.
Anyway, if the promotion of motorcycles fails, he will try it again by combining some of China's guerrilla warfare artifacts. He has to convince the Americans that it is a very good choice to cooperate with Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
Acting on impulse, and after reporting to the ministry, Jiang Hui drove the new model BJ212 purchased by the factory and arrived at the American Embassy with Chen Chenxing.
“Master, I remember when I first came here, they were still called the U.S. Office in China. At that time, we came on our bicycles to repair their cars on a hot day.”
“ I didn’t expect that we would be able to drive over and talk to them so soon.”
While registering at the gate, Chen Chenxing spoke to Jiang Hui in a low voice.
As a middle- and senior-level manager of a star factory with a promising future, Chen Chenxing’s confidence now is completely different from before.
A person who is very confident about the future displays a different temperament.
“Since the conference at the end of 1978, great changes have begun to occur in all walks of life in the country.”
“The entire international environment has also undergone great changes. , which is a good thing for us.”
“There will continue to be many things that make you feel incredible.”
Jiang Hui knows the pulse of the development of the times and is aware of various changes. The feeling was not as great as that of Chen Chenxing.
Besides, there is still a big gap between what China is like now and what it was a few decades ago, so Jiang Hui is even more calm.
"It is true. We used to criticize the United States every day, but the relationship has changed a lot in the past few years."
"Now everyone is more enthusiastic about going to the United States than anything else. Times are always high."
"Every TV series and movie related to America is very popular."
"Times are indeed changing."

Chen Chenxing quickly completed the registration and waited for Smith to come out to pick them up.
Jiang Hui was the person who registered with Smith, so after receiving the call from the doorman, he immediately came out and took the person in.
"Jiang, are you asking our ambassador today to bring you any good plans for discussion?"
When Jiang Hui made an appointment with Smith for Woodcock, there was no specific plan. There were too many details about the conversation, and I just briefly mentioned my thoughts.
So as soon as Smith saw Jiang Hui, he couldn't help but ask questions first.
“It must be done.”
“The plans I bring to you are always win-win content.”
“Only mutually beneficial and win-win plans can make our cooperation more Close.”
Jiang Hui shook hands with Smith and communicated with him directly in English.
He really couldn't stand that Smith, a strong man, spoke in such a "whispering" way that it made people's skin crawl. "You are right, mutual benefit and win-win results can make things work smoothly in the long run."
“I just hope that everyone in China has the same understanding as you.”
The two of them arrived at the conference room chatting with each other. They didn’t wait long before Woodcock came over. .
After a brief chat, Jiang Hui knew that the other party must have a lot to do, so he went directly to the topic.
“I heard that public opinion in the United States has been very strong against polar bears in the past year. Especially after the other country’s brazen invasion of Algeria broke out, public opinion has been overwhelmingly against polar bears.”
“But the polar bears have firmly occupied the major cities in the country and have supported relevant puppets.”
“Under such circumstances, the development of increasingly fierce opposition forces in various parts of the country has also been affected by many people. "But the overall development of these opposition forces is still a bit unsatisfactory, and they do not pose much of a threat to polar bears."
"I think the biggest thing is. The reason is that the opposition forces have too few weapons and have not fully used their strength.”
Since they want to persuade Woodcock to accept the BMW 70 as a material for cooperation between the two parties to assist Afghanistan, then. We need to make Woodcock realize the benefits of doing this to the United States.
Otherwise, if they dare to pay, wouldn’t they be taken advantage of?
"Your analysis makes sense. The BJ212 and Humvee military vehicles you provided to Afghanistan previously played a very limited role."
"Some of them were not even delivered to Afghanistan. ”
Woodcock can probably guess what Jiang Hui is here to do today.
He has always hoped that China could directly provide weapons and equipment to the opposition forces in Afghanistan, but China's internal actions in this regard are still not that fast.
More often than not, what China wants to provide is various vehicles and other supplies.
There are still some concerns about arms exports.
So Woodcock wanted to add fuel to the fire.
“Polar bears have occupied the country’s big cities too firmly, and the opposition forces have no way to smoothly obtain these equipment, nor can they fully utilize the usefulness of these equipment.”
“But these The provision of supplies has given the opposition forces in Algeria a lot of confidence. I think we can provide them with more suitable transportation and weapons and equipment while they are actively opposing polar bears.”
"Like motorcycles, I think they are very suitable for the opposition forces in Algeria to use to raid polar bear transport vehicles and other targets."
"It may have unexpected effects by then."
Jiang Hui focused closely on the purpose and expressed his own opinions.
Anyway, he did not say that the BMW 70 motorcycle must be suitable, and other motorcycles are not suitable.
But at this stage, there is basically no motorcycle that can be bought in China that is more suitable than the BMW 70.
If it is imported from the United States, it is another matter whether China is willing to cooperate. It will also take a long time, and in the end it will not cost less.
So Woodcock thought for a while and agreed with Jiang Hui's point of view.
“I also saw in your newspaper that the BMW 70 produced by Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory seems to cost 2998 yuan, right?”
Since there is an intention to use Jianghui Factory product, then you can naturally enter the stage of confirming the price.
America is very rich, but Woodcock doesn’t want to spend money carelessly.
"Yes, the price in China is 2,998 yuan, which is equivalent to about two thousand US dollars."
"Taking into account the special transportation needs and some customized modifications combined with the special environment of the country, a The final price of a motorcycle will be about three thousand US dollars.”
“As long as the United States provides US$30 million in funds, the Albanian opposition can have 10,000 motorcycles and form an army of tens of thousands of motorcycles. , causing huge losses of at least more than 300 million U.S. dollars, or even 3 billion U.S. dollars."
"This business is definitely very valuable."
Jiang Hui knows that the United States is the most important. All I care about is bleeding polar bears.
They are willing to spend money to purchase material aid from China to Afghanistan, not just to use the opposition forces in Afghanistan to attack polar bears, create trouble for them, and cause greater losses.
Obviously, Jiang Hui's idea completely attracted him.
The economic situation of the United States is inherently better than that of polar bears. If an investment of US$30 million can cause the polar bears to lose US$300 million, or even more, that input-output ratio is very valuable.
If 300 million US dollars were invested, the losses to the polar bears would be...
Woodcock felt excited just thinking about it.
He is confident he can persuade Congress to approve more funding.
"Okay! Then we will purchase 10,000 BMW 70s from your factory this year, and the price will be the US$3,000 you said."
"But some parts such as tires must be repaired Special reinforcements, and each motorcycle must be equipped with two rifles and a basic magazine.”
Since we want to support the opposition forces in Afghanistan, we must not just send transportation vehicles, but also have weapons. OK.
Otherwise, there would be no way to fully exert its destructive effect and achieve the goal Woodcock wanted.
"No problem. I suggest you discuss with the Fifth Machinery Department to see if they can sell a batch of RPGs, grenades and other weapons at the same time."
Seeing that Woodcock made a decision of 30 million in one breath Jiang Hui smiled heartily at the large US dollar order.
