Chapter 585: Make some money back?
What is now before Mr. Senna is such a matter. Legoff is mentioning the latest trade terms of the Orientals to him.
“They asked for a reduction in the price of digital circuit chips. They thought our premium was too high.” Legoff lowered his lips, looking very helpless.
"Impossible, Legoff, this is a high-tech product, not food or fertilizer." Mr. Senna was very unhappy about this.
"Mr. Senna, please allow me to point out your mistake. Fertilizer is also an industrial product." Le Goff even had the leisure to joke. It must be said that the Gauls are really born with a loose mind and a big heart.
"Damn, it's not important! Legoff!"
Mr. Senna, who opened his eyes like a bulldog, interrupted Legoff's teasing, and then said viciously: "The chip is real There is no other place where they can buy high-tech products except us. Price reduction? Impossible!"
Le Goff grimaced and took out a document: "Mr. Senna, I admit it. Your words, but the situation is not favorable to us now."
"What is this?" Senna took the file.
“This is the news sent back by our trade representative over there, well... it’s not very good. Obviously, they have also entered this field, and even... they have reached the top!”
Le Goff let Mr. Senna read it for himself without telling the content.
“Oh, my dear Joan of Arc!” After reading the news, Mr. Senna, a Burgundian, made an ironic sigh.
Joan of Arc: Thank you for your eighteenth generation ancestor, a Burgundian.
“They already have integrated circuit production capabilities? Even 10 microns? This is impossible!” As an important figure in foreign trade and economics, even if he doesn’t understand the cutting-edge technology of integrated circuits, he still knows the difficulty of this technology. How high, how high.
"Even the bears in the north don't have this ability, how could they?" The main source of technology in that country in the east is undoubtedly Lao Maozi.
This statement is more pleasant to hear, but there is another meaning that he did not say. Even Gaul Chicken himself does not have this ability. He is a shovel.
"Mr. Senna, I have to remind you that Mao Xiong also has no ability to export DJS-59 and software."
"What about Citigroup? They can't reach 10 micron either. ! ”
“That’s not important, Mr. Senna. What’s important is that the Easterners have it, and they ask us to lower the price.” Le Goff fulfilled his role as a strong assistant.
“Do you think they are engaging in strategic deception?” This is not new. During the Cold War, there was no one like Citigroup and John Bull who was not a bully.
Le Goff shook his head: "I don't think so. Both are countries with a huge population. There is a big difference in credibility between Eastern countries and Zangsan. They will conceal it, but generally they will not exaggerate. "
While Mr. Senna was still thinking about the difference between concealment and exaggeration, Le Goff nailed the last murderous nail: "And, I don't think, they did it for us. To earn a little money from integrated circuits, you would tell such lies in their largest, most authoritative and significant daily newspaper."
We don't deserve it! Legoff just had to say it clearly.
This brings Mr. Senna back to reality a little bit, but from his point of view, he still has to persist and cannot surrender to the Orientals so quickly: "Hold on, don't lower the price, and let's see what they do next. And even if they have made a breakthrough, they will not be able to increase their production capacity in a short period of time. During this period, the initiative is still in our hands."
Senna came out of his depression and regained his sense. Sir, you still made a very accurate judgment.
"Okay Mr. Senna, I suggest that they honor the special terms in the agreement. That is, when we have to accept Citigroup's special conditions in order to fully complete their orders, they should pay sincerity for it. .”
“What special conditions?”
“There were none originally, but now there are. For example, the minimum order quantity required by Citigroup is far beyond the order we have not delivered this time. "
"What you mean is to sell to them at the price of this unfinished order and make a profit while their newly born integrated circuit industry production capacity cannot meet the requirements. Big pen?" Mr. Senna touched his chin.
"Yes, Mr. Senna." Legoff nodded.
If Gao Zhendong heard his suggestion, he would definitely think that he was a colleague of George Blake. The importance of this thing cannot be measured by the price.
No matter how expensive it is, it will definitely be cheaper than the DJS-59 sold to you when replacing the same quantity.
What we eat are digital logic circuits, but what we sell are computers, although these circuit chips will not be used in the computers sold to you.
"Well, you have a point." Senna pondered.
“And, Mr. Senna, we have reasons why we have to sell.”
"What's the reason?" Senna had a bad premonition.
"They did not import our SS.11 in large quantities, but they did have a small batch of paid samples. I think you should remember this." "Yes, I remember. This is really a pity for them." This is not all bragging, SS.11 is indeed good at this time, not because of its own strength, but because of the support of its peers.
“I think I already know why they are not interested in this thing, which is why we have to sell more chips to them. We have to try to balance the deficit, otherwise this Once it comes true, it will look even worse on the books.”
“Don’t ask me to guess, my dear Legoff!”
"They found the flaw in SS.11 and solved it. If we are willing, they agreed to sell us the technology to solve the flaw for a one-time fee. Well, the requirements of the Orientals are quite reasonable and the price is not High, the price of ten DJS-59s." Legoff shrugged.
Huh? Senna suddenly felt that his whole body was not well!
This is actually the result of discussions between the National Defense Work Committee and the Land Loading Bureau.
Copying SS.11 still costs some money, and the results are not much, but it cannot be wasted, such as this solution to the inaccurate problem.
Given the geographical location, geographical relations and international relations of the Gallic Chicken, it is unlikely that their anti-tank equipment will pose a threat to us.
And this problem is actually not too big. Once Gallic Chicken discovers it by itself, it can be solved by spending some time, and it won't have much impact on the level.
Besides, in the eyes of the comrades of the National Defense Work Committee and the Land Loading Bureau, even if SS.11 solves that problem, it is still not that good and it doesn’t matter.
You might as well make a little money from the Gallic Chicken before it reacts. As a rebel in the Ocean Convention Organization at this time, the Gallic Chicken is still worth winning over and supporting. Kill two birds with one stone, why not?
So this matter has been handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Commerce. You can try to sell it and you won’t suffer any loss anyway. If it is sold, the little money Chunlei Factory spent on imitation will not be there at all. That's it.
You can get money back!
The sound of our abacus beads reached Senna, which was a different feeling for him.
Reasonable? What kind of bullshit is this? The little SS.11 you bought from me didn’t cost more than a DJS-59, and now you have to pay for ten units back?
How much does it cost for ten DJS-59s?
It doesn’t matter how good the performance of Gallic products is, but the high price is basically its own attribute. Now Mr. Senna feels a little bit like others when faced with their quotations.
For a moment, he even began to doubt Le Goff's identity. As a world-famous old revolutionary area, it is not surprising that Gaul produces any kind of people.
Oh, Legoff is my brother-in-law? That's okay.
Taking back his feelings, Mr. Senna flatly refused: "No way, they are blackmailing!"
"Maybe, but..."
"But What?"
"People who use SS.11 are very interested in this!" Legoff looked helpless.
"Them? How did they know? Did you inform them?" Senna was very puzzled by this.
"I will not notify them without your permission. But as our main force and the latest anti-tank missile, SS.11 happens to be in the trigger list of automatic intelligence distribution. This ordinary thing from Easterners The confidentiality level cannot cover the priority of automatic distribution. At the same time as we received the note, they were coming. "
" Damn! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Senna is extremely disgusted with this automatic process.
"I think it's not too late now. The decision is not up to us, right? Mr. Senna, this is actually good news. It can at least solve our hidden dangers, tanks..."
Legoff's words made Senna, who had grown up in the 1930s, come to his senses: "Well, maybe you are right, tanks..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Sena's office.
Senna called to come in, and a female secretary came in: "Mr. Senna, someone is looking for you, from the Equipment Administration of the Ministry of National Defense."
The two looked at each other and came. .
The future people were invited in. There were two people in total, one middle-aged man and one young man. They both had serious expressions. It was obvious at first glance that they were from the military.
"Mr. Senna, I'm very sorry to disturb you, but we have a reason to come." After the middle-aged man sat down, he stood up straight, and his words and demeanor were relatively old-school.
"Are you here because of SS.11?" Apart from this, Senna couldn't think of a second reason.
"Yes, Mr. Senna. To be honest, to some extent, we have discovered the problem raised by the other party, but we can't find the cause and no solution for the time being. This involves data. Ten thousand missiles, we have to pay attention.”
The middle-aged soldier does not look very good. The total production of SS.11 is as high as 180,000 pieces. Even if it is in the early and middle stages of equipment, its quantity is still huge.
