Link to Chapter 266
The next day, in order to celebrate the old king’s birthday, the drone performance team tried their best to perform a large-scale drone performance that will go down in history. Members of the delegation Also invited to the banquet as a guest.
After watching the drone performance, they felt that Chen Chen was too partial.
They have never eaten this kind of fine grain in the country.
No matter it is various festivals, domestic drone performances are nothing more than drawing a rainbow on the left and a dragon on the right.
Good guy.
After going abroad, various millimeter-level portraits are lifelike.
The text slogan also became explicit: [Wish the noble king a long life without borders].
Everyone got goosebumps watching it, and they all teased Chen Chen for losing face just to make money.
Chen Chen was very calm, thinking that I have already gone abroad, why do I want to lose face?
However, Zheng Yucun remained silent and did not speak.
It doesn’t matter if Chen Chen is shameless.
The main thing was that the king showed a fatherly smile on the rostrum, and the people in the audience cheered.
That's enough.
The doctrine they believed in always said that "the Savior will appear from the sky."
The drone show fits this perfectly.
The only difference is that the doctrine does not mention the savior madeinCHN at all.
So.
The next day.
The formal forum was held in a peaceful atmosphere.
In the splendid cabinet, the princes headed by Salaman were still talking about the contents of yesterday's performance.
"Mr. Chen, Director Zheng, on behalf of the royal family, I would like to sincerely thank you again for the gifts you brought to the king."
Zheng Yucun waved his hand: "This is all as it should be."
"Director Zheng is still as humble as ever."
Zheng Yucun looked back at Chen Chen, helplessly feeling a little funny.
It's really not humility.
Performing a drone show is a trivial matter for Chen Chen.
Especially for Chendun, a company that started out as a flight control company, controlling tens of thousands of drones to line up in the sky is much easier than dropping express delivery accurately on customers' heads.
So much so that the chief director of the whole performance just wore headphones and pretended, without any operation at all. Everything was done by algorithms.
But for the princes who have never seen the world, the shock it brings is unparalleled, and they all lament the progress of Dongda’s drone technology.
Salaman, one of the few technical doers, would also feel ashamed.
The prophet once said: "Although knowledge is far away in the East, you should still seek it."
Now it seems.
The prophet is indeed a prophet, and you will not deceive me.
The past few years.
The book Salaman reads the most is the instruction manual for the Morning Shield drone.
In particular, he is a good student with a high pursuit of knowledge.
In addition to the instructions for drones, I am also very curious about the instructions for missiles.
Today, he has 30 billion in tuition fees, and he doesn’t know if he can join the training class for great powers at Dongda University.
Ever since.
In a peaceful atmosphere, the negotiations between the two sides, each with their own hidden agendas, officially kicked off.
Zheng Yucun asked two technicians to play the ppt and listed some weapon system data within the scope allowed by confidentiality.
In fact, this move is just going through the motions.
Mainly for those princes present who don’t know how to do it.
As for Salaman, Zheng Yucun didn’t consider selling to him at all.
He knew that Salaman had already done his homework ten thousand times when he made up his mind about FD2000.
"Mr. Zheng, is the hit rate data a little lower?" Salaman looked at it for a long time and was a little doubtful about the content on the ppt.
Zheng Yucun shook his head and explained: "No, these test launch data are all based on our experimental demonstration."
"Demonstration? Is there no actual launch data?"
Zheng Yucun Feng Qingyundan said: "No, because what we are about to discuss is the foreign trade version of red wine, and the data is different from the currently packaged red wine B."
After saying this, several princes looked at each other.
Foreign Trade Edition.
Translated to beggar’s version.
Some key core components will be configured
such as the identification system.
The interception rate of this set of Red Wine B is as high as 80%, but it is limited to intercepting foreign enemy aircraft.
If the imaginary enemy includes the Dongda Air Force, the interception rate may be 0.
Salaman thought it through and silently accepted this.
Let the beggar’s version be the beggar’s version, it’s better than nothing.
After nearly an hour and a half of ppt demonstration, the princes were indeed very excited.
Then the negotiation process came to the price aspect that Zheng Yucun was most concerned about.
"Your Excellency, you must know that if this deal is completed, your country will become the first country to equip this type of advanced regional air defense system in this region."
Salaman nodded lightly. : "This also just shows the high degree of self-confidence between us. We are partners."
Chen Chen looked at Salaman's response with ease and thought that this old boy is not a vegetarian.
I will establish a good relationship with you first and praise the seller so that it is difficult for the seller to open his mouth.
Partners are partners, but partners also have different price points.
Chen Chen felt that it was necessary to help Zheng Yucun: "Sir, how much do you think our partnership is worth?"
Salaman was slightly startled: "Sir Chen , you said yesterday that we are close comrades-in-arms."
"Of course you and I are close comrades-in-arms, am I not here on behalf of my family now?"
Chen Chen is not fooled at all. .
Every sentence ends with a question mark, forcing Salaman to take action.
Anyway, in this negotiation, I am the party with leverage.
No need to panic at all.
Salaman looked back at the expressions of the princes, and decided to show off some chips first: "We have no doubts about the performance of FD2000, even if it is a revised version, as long as it allows us to have area denial capabilities, we are willing to introduce it 20 sets.”
“20 sets?” Zheng Yucun frowned.
"Yes, the situation makes us feel very uneasy. I believe you all have experienced it on the incoming plane. Half of the airspace in this area is blocked due to the war."
"I know this... ”
Zheng Yucun pursed his lips and looked at Chen Chen.
What are you afraid of?
Although they are in a favorable position in this negotiation, quantity is the only weakness.
Our own psychological expectations are ten sets.
The other party’s expectation is that there will be twenty sets. The two sides did not stand on the same consensus, and conflicts immediately emerged.
Fortunately, Chen Chen had made a similar prediction yesterday, and Zheng Yucun was more or less confident.
Since the other party wants so much, the price must be raised.
Let Salaman retreat.
So Zheng Yucun directly avoided the quantity and began to raise the price.
“Referring to the price of air defense systems of the same level and taking into account the risks brought by the international situation, we have priced each set at US$1.3 billion.”
“1.3 billion?”
Zheng Yucun nodded: "Yes, it is only the price of a single set of weapons, and does not include the cost of personnel training and equipment maintenance."
"..."
A brief micro-expression appeared on Salaman's face.
Taking a sharp breath, his eyes were slightly shocked.
Although it is subtle, it cannot escape Zheng Yucun’s eyes.
Just shocked.
This price is tailor-made for you.
High is definitely high.
The main reason is that asking for 20 sets at once is too rough. I want a premium price to kill your prestige first.
When you are ready to lower the quantity, we will enter the formal negotiation process.
It's like going to a flea market to buy something.
Whenever I asked about the price, it was always one hundred and two hundred.
But the final transaction price was only one yuan and two.
When both parties are not sure of the sincerity of the other party, the price is nonsense.
In the expectation of Zheng Yucun, Salaman finally pulled back from the confusion: "Okay."
"????"
"???"
"???"
Zheng Yucun was confused.
They won’t do it at all.
No!
That's not how the script was written.
The price of this thing is 800 million, and I asked for 1.3 billion.
A price difference of 500 million yuan.
After 20 sets, the price difference is 10 billion.
There is no after-sales service.
What will suffice?
Looking back at Chen Chen, he was also confused.
Although Chen Chen had already suffered enough losses, his advice made the lion of Zheng Yucun open his mouth.
But Zheng Yucun grinned to the back of his head, but it was still not as big as Salaman’s spoon.
Good guy.
Still underestimated Salaman's strength.
However, Chen Chen's acting skills are better than Zheng Yucun's, and he can still keep calm and keep his words.
“Since you have no objection to the price.”
“Then let’s talk about maintenance.”
“As you know, FD2000 is one of the most popular models in the world. Advanced air defense system ”
"Daily maintenance and upkeep is very troublesome."
"If equipped in a short period of time, I'm afraid your personnel will not be able to undertake heavy tasks."
Salaman is not interested in these minutiae: "I understand that you can send a team for training, and we will bear the costs during the training period."
"It is definitely too late to teach now. I think it is better for our people to operate in the early stage, and wait until you have formed The combat power will be transferred again.”
Zheng Yucun quickly gave a thumbs up when he heard the conditions proposed by Chen Chen.
As a result, profiteers can do their job.
Since the price doesn’t scare them, it’s okay to add conditions, right?
Chen Chen’s proposal is equivalent to telling Salaman that 1.3 billion can only buy the right to use, not the ownership.
This condition is very harsh, even a bit degrading to one's dignity.
But Chen Chen and Zheng Yucun didn’t expect it.
Countries like this have another understanding of dignity.
Not only did I not have the right to own the weapon I bought from Yingjiang before, I also couldn't fire it according to my own wishes.
Sometimes Salaman couldn't even touch the weapons he bought.
It is said that it is a military purchase, but in fact it is spending money to invite a bunch of dads back.
At least Dongda is not like this and can still let himself touch weapons.
Salaman did not hesitate too much: "In principle, there is no problem in this regard. We can discuss the details."
"..."
Chen Chen was a little confused.
You...
You still underestimate Salaman’s desire to become a great power.
I was joking, why did I agree?
Co-author I have earned a training fee with tears in my eyes, but why don’t you give others the right to use weapons?
Salaman's straightforward response made Chen Chen's reputation as a profiteer rise again.
The key is that Chen Chen subjectively did not intend to be so treacherous.
He just wants the lion to open its mouth and create differences in the negotiations so that everyone can return to the original starting point.
Unexpectedly, the differences were not resolved, and the intentions of both parties accelerated.
Now that this is the case, Chen Chen can only break the jar.
You have money, right?
Then I will die.
“We still have a few requirements regarding Wei Xiu’s maintenance.”
“In recent years, exchanges between the two parties have become increasingly frequent.”
“Your country has ordered our drone production line before and introduced a large number of our technical personnel.”
“This time We are about to order the FD2000 system.”
“It is foreseeable that more factories and technical personnel will move to your country in the future.”
“In order to protect the rights and interests of these our personnel. Intention to add an additional clause to the sale agreement”
Salaman was a little wary: "What's the content?"
"Please plan an exclusive economic zone for us."
