Chapter 273 The unexpected popularity of BMW The supplies were flying on the gravel-strewn road without any problems at all.
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 BMW X is different.
It is only about one meter wide and can be passed on most roads.
This is very meaningful for Pakistan to transport materials to the border with Afghanistan.
Polar bears have occupied Algeria for more than a year, and the surrounding countries are feeling a lot of pressure.
Especially since Pakistan itself has a relatively good relationship with the United States, it is more willing to support the opposition forces in Afghanistan in attacking polar bears.
The United States also provided some financial support.
Previously, part of the BMW 70 products were transported to Afghanistan through Pakistan. Some of these products will definitely be intercepted by Pakistan.
So the name of Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory has spread among a special group of people.
Even after the BMW X was launched, Pakistan itself purchased dozens of them through embassy personnel and went back to try them out.
This one makes me addicted.
The relevant departments of Pakistan have officially arranged for personnel to come to China to discuss the import of BMW X with the Chaoyang motorcycle manufacturer.
Of course, the other party coming here must want to kill the price, and they don't want to purchase at the high price like the United States used to aid Afghanistan.
We even put forward some special improvement plans based on their experience.
"Factory Director, the relevant departments have officially contacted us. The day after tomorrow, people from Pakistan will come to our factory to inspect and discuss the purchase of BMW X."
"They may even be thinking about it. Cooperate with us to invest in building a production line for BMW X in Brazil.”
Li Zifu called Jiang Hui excitedly.
In order to make this call, he waited for a full hour, and then with the help of the operator, he got through the phone number of BMW Technology's liaison office in Shenzhen.
Then make an appointment with the other party and ask Jiang Hui to wait for him to call again within the agreed time.
After another wait, he finally heard Jiang Hui's voice on the microphone.
“Pakistan is interested in our BMW X?”
When designing Sanbengzi, Jiang Hui mainly considered domestic demand and really didn’t expect it to earn foreign exchange through exports. .
I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise this time.
“Yes, I specifically inquired about it, and the other party should be very sincere in coming to discuss purchasing matters this time.”
“If the price is right, their purchasing quantities are likely to be comparable. Big.”
“But the other party may bargain hard and it is impossible to purchase at a high price.”
Although Pakistan’s current economic strength is stronger than that of later generations, its per capita level is higher than that of China. .
But after all, the size is there, and there is no way to compare with the tycoons in the Middle East.
So it is normal for the other party to bargain hard, otherwise there would be no need to go through all the trouble of coming over to inspect and negotiate.
“There is no problem in bargaining, but when the time comes, try to provide them with a customized version of the plan. For areas they don’t care about, we can take appropriate cost reduction measures.”
"This will also prevent the products exported to Pakistan from being exactly the same as others, which will affect other export orders."
The domestic price of BMW X is 2,888 yuan. If converted according to the black market exchange rate, that is Less than $500.
Of course, Jiang Hui definitely couldn't lower the price that much at once.
Otherwise it will affect the export prices of BMW S and BMW 70, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Factory Director, their inspection team will stay in the capital for about a week, and you should have come back by then."
"I will communicate with them during this period and touch upon them. To find out the other party’s bottom line?”
Li Zifuji very much hopes to win this export order, so that this year’s export earnings will hopefully exceed last year’s level.
"Okay, let's see who the people on the other side are and whether they have the right to make decisions."
"Also see what personal thoughts these people have. Are they really dedicated to the country or something more?" The most important thing is to consider family and personal interests.”
“Based on the actual situation, we can also adopt some more flexible plans.”
Jiang Hui said it more vaguely and did not tell others directly. Do some off-the-table trading.
Just like asking Austin to help purchase a car production line, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is completely acceptable to let the other party eat a big piece of fat.
Anyway, in Pakistan, a lot of power is actually in the hands of a few big families.
Jiang Hui felt that as long as Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory gave the managers certain benefits, the other party would definitely be able to purchase BMW X at a reasonably high price. Anyway, no matter how expensive it is, it will not be higher than the price of motorcycles purchased with American aid, and they can also explain it to the country.
"No problem, I have been focusing on this matter during this period."
Li Zifu was not stupid, and he immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Hui's words.
After the two ended the call, he immediately took action.
As for Jiang Hui, people also started buying return tickets.
Things in Shen City are almost settled.
However, after Jiang Hui returned to the capital, he did not immediately contact the Pakistani delegation. Instead, after learning about the situation, he went to the American Embassy.
Everyone in Pakistan thinks that the BMW X is very useful, which is much more convincing than what Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory boasts about.
"Jiang, I will confirm the information you mentioned as soon as possible and then respond to Ambassador Woodcock."
As an old acquaintance of Jiang Hui, Smith listened carefully to Jiang Hui's explanation today and even read some Pictures of BMW X 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 could figure out the situation in Pakistan with just a little investigation. There was no need for Jiang Hui to lie.
“No problem, there happens to be a delegation from Pakistan coming to the capital for inspection during this period. I believe you must have a way to contact them and verify what I said.”
"The BMW Rapid transportation greatly enhances the combat effectiveness and combat effectiveness of the opposition forces in Afghanistan. "
"In this regard, many of our military factories in China can provide auxiliary products and contribute to the cause of opposing polar bear oppression. ”
Jiang Hui knows that the United States is now very motivated to suppress polar bears.
Last year the polar bear got a little carried away and held the world's largest military exercise, which frightened the United States and its allies.
Now if the United States rolls up its sleeves and fights polar bears, they will definitely not have the guts.
But if it can significantly weaken the strength of polar bears by spending money, the United States is very active.
“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’s thoughts on the air force in Afghanistan The situation has always been of great concern.
The United States will also share some information related to Afghanistan in a timely manner so that they can make more accurate judgments.
"This problem is actually very simple. Polar bears have a lot of helicopters, so we will provide the opposition forces in Afghanistan with some weapons that can attack helicopters."
"For example, individual air defense missiles, it is said that there are related ones in the United States. Manufacturers can produce it. If you can license this technology to relevant Chinese manufacturers, then a large number of individual missiles can appear in the hands of the opposition forces in Afghanistan and make outstanding contributions to the air power against polar bears.”
< br>Jiang Hui knew that the United States was behind the air power in Afghanistan to combat polar bears and further support the opposition, but it provided assistance to Afghanistan with the most advanced individual missiles in the country.
Although China is also developing this thing, there is definitely a big gap between the technology and the United States.
Taking this opportunity to get some technology back from the United States will also be beneficial to the development of China's military industry.
"I need to report this matter, but I personally think your proposal is very creative."
Smith also knows some of the weapons Jiang Hui mentioned.
If it can really appear in large numbers in Argentina, then we can really consider providing the technology to China.
When the time comes, America will produce technology, China will produce products, and we will all fight against polar bears together.
Maybe such a cooperation method can further improve Smith's position.
After the exchange 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 about it, I naturally know that BMW X is really suitable for use in places where the road conditions are not very good.
Although there is no riding comfort at all, the most important thing for the Afghan opposition is to have something that can help transport various weapons such as mortars, rocket launchers, and heavy machine guns.
The Pakistani delegation also knew through communication with the United States that the other party planned to use BMW X as the next step of aiding the country.
As a result, the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory's production capacity will inevitably suffer from problems in the short term.
So they also accelerated the pace of negotiations.
On the fifth day after Jiang Hui returned to the capital, the Pakistani delegation purchased 10,000 BMW Xs from the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory at a unit price of US$1,500.
Following this, the U.S. Embassy also officially finalized a batch of large orders for BMW X and mortars and other weapons. Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is required to provide 20,000 units this year. BMW X gives the country opposition.
The entire Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory only produced 30,000 motorcycles last year, and now one BMW X has received a large order of 30,000 motorcycles.
This set another record.
