In the ensuing negotiation process, out of consideration for avoiding suspicion, and because he was a consultant, Chen Geng did not participate - he was going to attend the dinner in the evening, and then rushed back to Detroit overnight.

But I didn't think about it, before the dinner, Li Jianguo came to the door with a stumbling face, and the brother looked bitter, and when he came up, he held Chen Geng's hand tightly: "Mr. Chen, you must help us this time......"

"What's the matter?" Looking at Li Jianguo, whose expression seemed to have been ravaged by a hundred hippos, Chen Geng asked.

"The Pentagon's offer is too dark," Li Jianguo said with a sad face: "Their offer is $8 million a ......"

Before Li Jianguo finished speaking, Chen Geng squirted out a mouthful of water: "How much?!"

"$8 million a ......"

“......”

Chen Geng was also speechless: The Pentagon is really dark!

How dark is it, in 1962, the U.S. Army spent $13 million to purchase 6 S-64s for technical and performance evaluation, and 4 of them were sent to Vietnam for actual combat evaluation, 6 S-64s, a total of 13 million US dollars, with an average unit price of less than 220 US dollars.

In 1969, the improved CH-54B/S-64F was officially put into production with an FAA license, and the unit price was only 2.7 million US dollars...... At this point, the US Army has already shouted, "I can't afford it!" because the price of the CH-54B at $2.7 million is seven times that of the UH-1 "Huey" helicopter, which is known as the "battlefield taxi."

Items that were purchased at the time were between $2.4 million and $2.7 million, but after more than a decade of use, they were sold for more than three times.

Black!

It's so dark!

Chen Gengdu had to admire the Pentagon's degree of blackness.

"8 million...... This offer is indeed a bit dark......"

"Who says it's not," Li Jianguo stomped his feet: "The new plane is less than 3 million US dollars, and they have been using it for more than ten years, so there is no reason why it is more expensive than a new plane, right?"

Li Jianguo's anger is justified, and in the eyes of the members of the delegation, this quotation made by the US Pentagon is simply extremely black and lacks any sincerity: You should not say anything about inflation and non-inflation, since when you bought a new plane, it was more than $2 million, and this plane has been used by you for more than 10 years, why should the quotation be sold several times more than that of a new plane? There is no such reason in this world.

In Li Jianguo's view, the Pentagon's move is to deceive people.

Chen Geng nodded and asked, "So you came to me......"

Sure enough, hearing Chen Geng's words, Li Jianguo, who was still angry just now, instantly became a little surprised: "This...... I also know that this is not appropriate, and we don't have this part in our cooperation agreement, but ...... Can you go and negotiate for us?"

"That's it......" Chen Geng pondered for a moment and nodded: "I can help you ask, but what is the psychological price that you can accept?"

"This ...... It can't be more expensive than a new plane, right?"

I see!

The delegation also knows that there are only two countries in the world that can produce this kind of heavy helicopter, and the other one is still hostile to us, in this case, we have no choice at all except the United States, and the delegation's side, or the high-level of China, is actually ready to be stabbed, but one stab will be stabbed, and you Americans can't be too eager to unload one of my legs, right?

After understanding Huaxia's attitude, Chen Geng thought for a while, and under Li Jianguo's puzzled gaze, he picked up the phone, and after a while, he asked: "Mr. Vance, how much is the price of the S-64F on your side?"

"S-64F?" Cyrus Roberts Vance didn't seem surprised at all that Chen Geng would call him at this time, and without even stumbling, he immediately made an offer: "$12 million." ”

Obviously, the Pentagon has already communicated with Sikorsky on the price issue: the two of us will join forces to pit the Chinese.

The new aircraft is 12 million US dollars, not only do you have to wait, but also additional equipment such as various pods, fire extinguishing systems, ground repair equipment and other additional equipment will also have to charge extra money, and the used aircraft is 8 million US dollars, and all kinds of pods and ground maintenance equipment and other equipment will also give you a big discount.

How to choose, you can do it.

Li Jianguo looked at Chen Geng with a puzzled expression - since Chen Geng did not avoid himself and made this call in front of him, it means that he does not mind that the content of the conversation is known to him.

Sure enough, Chen Geng didn't hide it, covered the microphone and whispered to Li Jianguo: "Just now I asked Sikorsky's executive vice president, Mr. Vance, what kind of price they can give if you buy a new 'aerial crane' from them, and Vance said that the unit price for you is 12 million US dollars. ”

Li Jianguo's face turned red all of a sudden: Damn Americans, this is naked @naked @naked to slaughter himself.

After a few words of greeting with Cyrus Roberts Vance, Chen Geng hung up the phone, and then turned to Li Jianguo and said: "The current situation is probably like this, the Pentagon is ready to kill you...... This is also a consistent tradition of their foreign arms sales, but this time the degree of the knife is a little ruthless. ”

But obviously, Chen Geng's comfort did not play a role, Li Jianguo let out a long sigh: "Mr. Chen, you know what the situation in our country is, this time to buy these US military retired 'Tahe' helicopters, on the one hand, we do have this demand, on the other hand, we also want to use this to show goodwill to the United States, but ......"

He took a deep breath, his eyes were red: "You know, how difficult it is for our country to earn some foreign exchange now, the country's foreign exchange deposit is just a little, and the country's enterprises are desperately exporting our handicrafts, oil, and coal...... only to exchange for a little bit of scarce foreign exchange......

Even if the Americans' offer was not so outrageous, we gritted our teeth and agreed, but ...... But ......"

"I understand, I understand what you mean," looking at Li Jianguo, who was almost unable to control his emotions, Chen Geng hurriedly patted him on the shoulder as comfort: "The Pentagon's side is indeed a little excessive...... So what do you mean, as long as the price is right, or are you going to buy it?"

Chen Geng actually understands that for Huaxia, is this batch of CH-53A/B "Tahe" retired by the US Army a good thing?

Of course, there is no doubt about this, and after these six "Tahe" helicopters are sent to China, they will immediately be able to play a tremendous role in the military, earthquake relief, fire fighting, national economic development, and other military and civilian fields, and there may even be qualitative changes in many fields.

But then again, no matter how good this thing is, there is a degree, even if there are no these heavy helicopters, will Huaxia's economy not develop?

Inexistent.

Therefore, now Chen Geng has an attitude: If the Pentagon continues to bite this price and refuses to let go, or the range of price concessions is limited, what is your attitude?

Li Jianguo said without hesitation: "We are not wronged. ”

You are willing to buy and sell this thing, in the current situation that I have asked you, I admit a small loss, but you really want to treat me as a big wrongdoer, then I'm sorry, everyone broke up!

Knowing what Li Jianguo meant, Chen Geng nodded, and he confirmed with Li Jianguo again: "I understand, your words also represent the attitude of the entire delegation, right?"

"Yes. Li Jianguo nodded without hesitation.

"That's it," Chen Geng thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you let me think about how to deal with this matter, and I'll tell you my suggestion at the dinner party?"

Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, what he was waiting for was Chen Geng's words.

........................

After Li Jianguo left, Chen Geng pondered for a moment, got up and went to Jotson's room.

Seeing Chen Geng, Jotson had an expression that I expected, and said with a smile: "I knew you would come." ”

Chen Geng also had a smile on his face: "Old Qiao, you are a little ruthless this time." ”

"No way," Joterson said, spreading his hands and not denying it: "Too many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit." ”

"You're not missing a lot of fish, are you?"

Joterson didn't deny it: "Huh...... You know, I'm just making some hard-earned money. ”

Chen Geng was no longer polite to Jotson, and said bluntly: "But you are smashing my brand." ”

It's all like you, how will Lao Tzu do business in China in the future?

Joterson was silent for a moment and said, "$6 million, it can't be lower." ”

"A batch of decommissioned equipment that was originally purchased at a price of only more than $2 million and has now been used, those Pentagon masters want $6 million?" Chen Geng was amused by Jotson: "Old Joe, are you sure this is the final price?"

Joterson sighed: "Fernandez, I can't help it, that's what the Pentagon's bigwigs mean......"

"No, no, no, no......" Chen Geng shook his fingers lightly: "Old Joe, don't insult my IQ, what the hell is going on here, we all understand, $2 million a ......"

"$2 million?!" exclaimed Jotson, "Are you crazy? This can't be ...... at all."

"No, I mean, when can you accept this price, when will you come and talk to me again......" Chen Geng said with a smile: "You say, if many media in the United States have reported on this matter and think that this is the Pentagon's deliberate push away Huaxia, which is interested in moving closer to us, how much pressure do you think those bigwigs in the Pentagon will face?"

Joterson stopped talking, the tip of his nose starting to sweat.

Just like the meaning of Chen Geng's words, for the current United States, it is the established strategy of the whole to win over China to the West, but since you plan to win over others, you must give enough benefits.

Joterson knew about the relationship between Chen Geng and the American media, and if he really did this, it would definitely set off a lot of public opinion, and the Pentagon would be embarrassed at that time...... The terrible part is that what the Pentagon did this time is indeed a bit out of the table.
