Chapter 71 The price is a bit expensive, 65 million U.S. dollars
After hearing this, Lin Chenran instantly understood what Kovlevich meant.
Kovlevich and the senior executives behind him believed that the price of US$50 million was too low to satisfy their "appetite", and they hoped that Lin Chenran could increase the price.
Lin Chenran cursed secretly: "These old foxes are so greedy!
But if you can get a four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine with 760 horsepower, Lin Chenran can accept it as long as the price is not too excessive.
Anyway, he received US$250 million from Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region.
He doesn't have to pay, so...
"Kovlevich, my friend, how much does the Design Bureau of the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant ask for?"
"If the price is too expensive, our 077 Machinery Military Factory will definitely not be able to afford it."
Lin Chenran's words are an acknowledgment that Kovlevich and others can make more profits, but they cannot use him as a "capital" to "explode gold coins."
Kovlevich thought to himself: "Sure enough, it's easiest to deal with smart people."
"Those senior executives of the Design Bureau of the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant a few days ago disgusted me to death. What else could Lin Chenran want from you if he didn't want the technology related to the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine? production line.”
Immediately afterwards, Kovlevich directly told the relevant technology of the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine sold by the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau, as well as the price of the production line.
"Sixty-five million dollars!!!"
Kovlevich said solemnly, as if he had tried his best.
This is the final pricing!
"hiss!"
The executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory on the side took a breath of air, "Sixty-five million US dollars!" They had never seen so much money in their lives.
Immediately, Kovlevich explained the allocation of expenses to Lin Chenran in detail: "Lin, I don't want to hide it from you. The 55 million U.S. dollars are used to pay the expenses of the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau, and The remaining US$10 million is spent on opening up various relationships and channels.”
Then he confessed: "Realistically, I personally only got half a million dollars out of it."
As for whether Kovlevich really only earned half a million US dollars, Lin Chenran had no intention of pursuing it further.
He also hopes that Kovlevich can get more benefits from the deal.
In this way, Kovlevich will be firmly in his hands.
There is an old saying: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
Once Kovlevich becomes accustomed to a life of luxury, it becomes very difficult to return to frugality.
…
After Lin Chenran heard Kovlevich say 65 million US dollars, he fell into deep thought.
In fact, he was happy inside!
For only US$65 million, it was possible to acquire the relevant technologies and production lines for the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine in the hands of the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau, which was a considerable value.
Although this tank engine technology is relatively backward in Mao Xiong's hands, it is quite advanced internationally and domestically.
It can be purchased for US$65 million, which is super worth it.
But now Lin Chenran has to pretend to be very embarrassed, and he also needs to argue hard to make Kovlevich feel that he does not have to spend so much money to introduce a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine.
Lin Chenran knew very well that if an agreement could not be reached, Kovlevich might ask for a sky-high price. How much would he have to pay to get a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine.
There is a precedent for this kind of thing, and those people are often like lions.
"Kovlevich, can we discuss the price further?"
"Sixty-five million U.S. dollars is really a huge amount of money for us. With the current financial situation of our 077 Machinery Military Factory, we simply cannot afford such a high expense."
"Fifty million US dollars is already the limit we can bear." Lin Chenran said with a look of embarrassment. The reason why Lin Chenran behaved like this was entirely because he knew the other party's psychology well.
If he seems too eager or generous, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price.
Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be indecisive and in a dilemma.
Kovlevich hesitated for a moment, and began to feel entangled in his heart.
In fact, according to the information he has, although the 077 Machinery Military Factory is now very successful in the civilian engineering vehicle market, their profits are still far from US$65 million.
The top brass of the Design Bureau of the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant were demanding high prices.
For less than $55 million, they will not sell their tank engine technology.
The superior leaders behind him also expressed dissatisfaction with this and believed that the benefits he achieved were too few.
In desperation, all the pressure was concentrated on Kovlevich alone.
In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and make an offer of up to US$65 million to Lin Chenran.
"this……"
"Lin, I'm in trouble too."
"$65 million is our lowest price."
Kovlevich directly killed 65 million US dollars, and said that as long as Lin Chenran could afford the price, he could promote the cooperation between the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Factory Design Bureau and Lin Chenran. otherwise……
"Kovlevich, this..."
For a time, the negotiations reached a deadlock.
After Lin Chenran thought for a moment, he slowly said: "Kovlevich, can you let me go back and think about it?"
"This price is too high. We need to go back and discuss it with the senior management of the factory."
Lin Chenran frowned and said.
Kovlevich felt nervous. If the top management of 077 Machinery Arsenal did not agree to spend so much money to purchase this tank engine technology, wouldn't his work be in vain?
Lin Chenran knows the skills of negotiation well, so naturally he will not immediately agree to the other party's request.
He stood up and made a gesture of preparing to leave.
Kovlevich said quickly: "No problem!"
Kovlevich sent Lin Chenran and others out of his small foreign-style building, stood at the door, and watched as their figures gradually disappeared from his sight.
After Lin Chenran walked out of the small foreign building, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He knew that this negotiation had been more than half successful.
Next, it depends on whether Kovlevich is willing to lower the price.
Even if he is unwilling to lower the price, Lin Chenran will agree.
Kovlevich returned to the house and called Leo Gago.
He said anxiously: "General Gago, Lin Chenran is hesitant to spend US$65 million to purchase a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine and may be deterred by the price. "
"We have to bring the price down a little bit."
Tens of millions of dollars in net income was right in front of him, and he didn't want to watch it slip away.
