Chapter 88: US$20 million is the bottom line! ! !
Lin Chenran’s face instantly turned gloomy.
A blatant robbery!
Is there any more natural justice?
But when I thought about it, it seemed that I really couldn't compete with the other party.
"Uh?" Lin Chenran sighed helplessly.
"Mr. Wei, why does your military always take advantage of our 077 Machinery Military Factory?"
"Can't you dare to visit other third-tier military factories?"
"The contract has just been signed and the payment for the goods has not been settled yet, but your military has set its sights on Damu. Have you already figured out how to use the foreign exchange?" Lin Chenran felt very helpless.
Not long ago, their 077 Machinery Arsenal was "finished" with 50 million US dollars in foreign exchange by the Yan Kingdom's military, and now the Yan Kingdom's military wants to "repeat the same trick" and get another sum from them.
077 Mechanical Military Factory was packed up like Ge You, with a bare head.
"Ahaha, it's not that our military is deliberately staring at your 077 Machinery Arsenal, we just happened to bump into it."
"I don't know whether our military is lucky or your 077 Machinery Military Factory is unlucky."
Wei Lao was in an extremely happy mood at this time.
He was very relieved to learn that the grandson of his comrade-in-arms had not made any mistakes and had successfully negotiated a deal worth US$120 million with the Camel Region's Damu Country.
And Lin Chenran felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart, as if he had the words "Ma Maipai" stuck in his throat, but he didn't know if he should say it out.
Originally, Lin Chenran planned to quietly sign a contract with Damu Country in the Camel Region to supply civilian supplies (heavy mortars + gas tank shells + mobile simple version of the Katyusha rocket launcher), trying not to attract attention.
But who would have thought that the intelligence system of the Yan Kingdom's military was so powerful. Daniel Harper was closely monitored as soon as he got off the plane.
It really echoed what Mr. Wei said: "I don't know if you are unlucky or if we are lucky."
Now that he has been discovered, Mr. Wei will definitely fight for the benefits he deserves for the Yan Kingdom military.
Today's Yanguo military has a very urgent need for foreign exchange.
If they can get enough foreign exchange support, it will play an important role in national defense development.
Lin Chenran thought for a while, and then said calmly: "Mr. Wei, this time our 077 Machinery Arsenal admits defeat, but it is impossible to convert all the 120 million U.S. dollars in our hands into fire coins."
"Because our 077 Machinery Military Factory also needs to use these foreign exchanges to purchase advanced foreign equipment and technology, which can enhance the strength and competitiveness of our factory."
"I can only exchange up to 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange here."
Although it only exchanged 20 million U.S. dollars, overall, 077 Machinery Arsenal still suffered a loss.
It's still a shameful existence.
Just send money to Yanguo's military.
The U.S. dollar is closely linked to commodities such as oil and gold, and its value is relatively stable;
The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar fluctuates greatly, which may lead to a decrease in actual purchasing power.
The exchange rate on the black market is as high as 1 U.S. dollar, which can be exchanged for 8 or even a dozen yuan coins.
Elder Wei couldn't help but feel very surprised, and thought to himself: "How could this guy so readily agree to spend 20 million US dollars in exchange for fire coins?"
"Is there a conspiracy?"
At this moment, Mr. Wei fell into deep thinking, trying to find the answer.
Lin Chenran is not a person who compromises easily.
When the 077 Machinery Military Factory successfully reached a cooperation with Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region and obtained US$250 million in foreign exchange, the Yan Kingdom's military had hoped to get a share of the pie, but Lin Chenran refused to give in.
After some haggling, Lin Chenran reluctantly agreed to exchange 50 million US dollars from the Yan Kingdom military.
Why has he become so generous now?
Wei Lao asked tentatively: "Boy Lin, have you dug a trap and are waiting for our military to jump into it?"
Old Wei was full of vigilance and suspicion.
Seems to be aware of it.
"If something happens, just twenty million dollars won't be enough." He directly put his doubts on the table.
If the Yan Kingdom military is really needed to help the 077 Machinery Arsenal solve some of the problems, then this amount of money is obviously not enough.
Hearing these words, Lin Chenran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and whispered in his heart: "How can you be so sharp and guess my intentions so quickly?"
He quickly smiled and explained: "Oh, Mr. Wei, you think too much, how could I set a trap!"
However, Mr. Wei directly cursed: "Humph, you still say you don't have it? You kid, you really can't rest assured."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach in his tone.
Lin Chenran laughed and tried to lighten the atmosphere: "Haha, Mr. Wei, you misunderstood. It's not a trap. I just want your military to help with some minor things."
Then, Lin Chenran explained to Mr. Wei in detail the specific matters that required the assistance of the Yan Kingdom's military.
The cooperation between 077 Machinery Military Factory and Damu Country is "sideline", and they use cleverness to avoid the blockade of Yingjiang and other countries.
But in general, the 077 Machinery Arsenal does provide weapons and equipment for Damu Country.
It's just that these weapons and equipment are assembled in Damu Country.
After it was discovered that Lin Chenran needed his own 077 mechanical arsenal, the Yanguo military supported him and claimed that he only provided civilian supplies and not weapons and equipment.
When Elder Wei heard this, he thought to himself: "So that's how it is, I thought I was going to ask the Yan Kingdom's military to 'go up a mountain of swords and go down into a sea of fire'!"
Mr. Wei originally wanted to strive for greater benefits for the Yan Kingdom military.
But Lin Chenran was not happy.
"Mr. Wei, your military only needs to do such a small thing. US$20 million is already our bottom line. If you are not willing to do it, I believe other departments will be willing to do it."
"The big deal is, if I find other departments to do it, I might not have to spend 20 million US dollars. I might even spend 5 million US dollars."
Lin Chenran made it clear that 20 million US dollars was the bottom line. If the Yan Kingdom military wanted more, then he would look for other departments in the Yan Kingdom.
The Foreign Service belongs to the government!
so……
When Wei Lao heard this, he fell silent.
That's true, then let it go when it's good.
The US$20 million was also an unexpected blessing.
"Okay! 20 million US dollars, 20 million US dollars."
Wei Lao agreed on behalf of the Yanguo military.
After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone with each other.
"Hey! It's really tiring to talk to military bosses."
Lin Chenran sighed deeply, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
Song Xiyun on the side leaned over and said with a smile: "Only you, Lin Chenran, dare to negotiate terms with Mr. Wei."
He had to admire Lin Chenran.
"Mr. Song, if others can fight for the interests of the Yan Kingdom military like me, they can also bargain with Elder Wei in this way."
"And the military can get 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange just by talking."
Lin Chenran immediately started to quibble.
Song Xiyun shook his head and left Lin Chenran's office. He still had things to deal with.
