Chapter 1088: It's Too Dark

What did Chen Geng do when he went to Tu'ai?

Of course, I went to find the way first.

For example, the commander of the Turkish Air Force and Deputy Minister of National Defense, Al-Thani, said through McDonald Jr.: "We know that the Yak-130 aircraft is equipped with the Soviet Air Force and Navy, and it can be recognized by the Soviet Navy and Air Force, and we are also very interested in the performance of this aircraft, which can be considered, but I need to talk to Mr. Fernández first." ”

What to talk about?

Of course, it's about "how much good can you give me".

It's not tactful at all, is it? But it can't be helped, that religion is like that, and we can know how ...... they are through some sporadic teachings What's that.

Although Chen Geng has never done international arms sales, when Wang Dazhi, Zhang Tong and others chatted with Chen Geng over the years, they did not talk less about some "interesting experiences" in China's foreign arms sales over the years, although these things were all talked about and played when they were bored...... Chatting, chatting, there is always a chat...... But these things, the fault is not an insider, it is impossible to know in any case.

Let's talk about it, Chen Geng also wants to know how greedy these guys in Tu'ai are.

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

For Chen Geng's arrival, Tu Ai attaches great importance to it.

This is also the proper meaning of the title, it is really the halo of "the richest man in the world" is too dazzling, and how dazzling this halo is, just look at what kind of treatment Gates will enjoy when he visits any country...... Those countries that are "too low-grade", even if they give foreign leaders treatment, people are not happy to go.

After going through the motions, accompanied by McDonald Jr., Chen Geng met with Al Thani, one of the main persons in charge of this arms purchase, the Turkish and Egyptian deputy minister of defense and commander-in-chief of the Air Force.

Since it was a departmental consultation, Al Thani was not polite to Chen Geng, and after a brief greeting between the two sides, Al Thani asked Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, I am a relatively frank person, so I will say it bluntly, since the Yak-130 can equip the Soviet Air Force and Navy, then I will give you a chance to compete fairly, but what good is this for me?"

Anyway, he is not afraid of eavesdropping in this kind of place, Chen Geng is also not polite, and asks directly to Alsani: "What do you want?"

"I want 2 million, dollars," Al Thani said, holding up two fingers, "plus the agency of your computer products in Cairo Province." ”

A $2 million rebate plus an agency for computer products in Tue Cairo Province?

Chen Geng was directly amused by Al Thani's good appetite: "Your Excellency, are you sure you're not joking?"

$2 million in cash doesn't sound like much, but don't look at the total amount of their purchase, excluding the cost and the cost of each link, Al Thani directly doubled his benefit fee!

This is still direct, as for the agency rights of computer products in Tua, not to mention the issue of Chen Geng signing a few years of agency contracts with Tu'ai agents, let's put it this way, last year, the total sales of computer products in Tu'ai was 3 billion US dollars.

Cairo Province is one of the largest and most economically developed provinces in Turkey and Egypt, with a total population of more than 8.7 million, and the sales amount of Cairo Province alone has reached 260 million US dollars.

$20 million, a year, Al Thani's appetite is really not ordinary.

As for Chen Geng, of course, he can't give up his agency because of Al Thani - Al Thani is not ambiguous, but any guy who can win the agency is ambiguous?

"I'm serious," Al Thani's expression seemed a little unhappy, "Mr. Fernández, you must understand that without my nod, this business of yours would not have been able to be completed." ”

This idiot dares to threaten Fernandez?

Little McDonald glanced at Althani in surprise, then turned his head to look at Chen Geng, but he didn't make a sound, he wanted to see how Chen Geng would respond.

How dare you threaten me?

"Mr. Minister," Chen Geng pondered for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, you have made a request to the government to purchase at least 48 F-16C/D fighter jets, and the government has already approved it, right?"

"Of course," Alsani looked at Chen Geng with interest, "What? You want to stop this deal? Mr. Fernandez, with all due respect, although you have a lot of influence in the United States, I don't think you can stop this deal...... Are you sure you offended Lockheed and General Dynamics?"

"Why should I offend them?" Chen Geng looked at Al Thani with a smile: "Maybe you know that I have a very good relationship with Lockheed, so guess if I suggest that Lockheed increase the unit price of the F-16 sold to you Tuai by 500,000 for the reason of 'rising costs'...... Or is it okay to $1 million, will they consider it?

As for your Turkish and Egyptian governments, will they abandon this arms purchase because the unit price has increased by $1 million? I don't think so. ”

The price of a single machine has increased by $1 million?

Al Thani wanted to laugh: Who do you think you are, you say it will go up?

While feeling funny in his heart, he unconsciously twisted his head to Little McDonald, and conveyed this meaning to Little McDonald with his eyes: Little Mr. MacDonald, this is simply funny, isn't it?

"It's not funny at all," McDonald Jr. said slowly, "Your Excellency, maybe you don't know the situation, but I assure you that what Mr. Fernandez said is true, he has a good personal friendship with Mr. Macom Hughes, and in addition, Lockheed is working on DC-10, The modification of the MD-11 was recommended to Lockheed by Mr. Fernandez, and the reason why Lockheed had the opportunity to invest in our McDonnell Douglas MD-12 project was also recommended by Mr. Fernandez, so believe me, if Mr. Fernandez intends to do this, he will definitely be able to do it, and Lockheed will definitely sell him this face. ”

“......”

The smile on Al Thani's face suddenly froze: This guy is actually not bragging?

The nature of the matter is much more serious.

For Turkey and Egypt, if the unit price is increased by $1 million, the 48 F-16 fighter jets will require the Turkish and Egyptian government to pay an additional $48 million, but just like Chen Geng said, if the United States unilaterally raises the unit price of the F-16 by $1 million on the nonsense of "rising costs", will the Turkish and Egyptian government give up this arms purchase?

That's impossible.

For Tue, who has given up on the Soviet Union and began to hug the thigh of the United States wholeheartedly, not to mention that the unit price has only increased by $1 million, even if it is an increase of $1.5 million, the protection fee that should be paid still has to be paid.

At this moment, Al Thani suddenly regretted his mouthfulness.

But Chen Geng's words are not finished yet......

"It's just that the unit price has increased by $1 million and it doesn't seem to be a bit interesting," Chen Geng touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "Why don't you increase the price of spare parts and ammunition by 5% in the future, what does Your Excellency the General think?"

The price of subsequent spare parts and ammunition has also increased by 5%?!

The smile on Al Thani's face froze, and sweat began to break down on his forehead!

Don't look at Al Thani as a soldier, but as a soldier, he is also an official, and he has no less logic than an official, and he even understands what Chen Geng did not say: While the unit price of the aircraft, the price of subsequent spare parts, and supporting weapons and ammunition have all risen, I will definitely let your colleagues know that the price increase this time is all because you Al Thani is too greedy.

Taking advantage of the time of military procurement to get some benefits for yourself, this is actually not a problem, everyone is doing this, every foreign military purchase is a good opportunity for everyone to make a fortune, but you Al Thani is not good like this, right?

But an old bureaucrat is an old bureaucrat, after realizing that Chen Geng was not easy to mess with, after just a few seconds, he suddenly smiled: "Hehe...... Mr. Fernández, just a joke. ”

"Is this just a joke?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows.

"Of course," Al Thani nodded affirmatively, "it's just a joke." ”

If Chen Geng resisted his blackmail, then it was a joke, if he didn't resist...... Not only will Al-Thani find a way to scrape another layer of oil and water from Chen Geng's body, but other guys who have an impact on this arms sale will also try their best to scrape more oil and water from Chen Geng's body, this has nothing to do with morality, who made you easy to bully?

In international arms sales, "bullying" is the original sin.

Although Chen Geng proved that he was not a bully, Al-Thani thought about it and decided to try again.

"Well, you win," Al-Thani nodded, but at the same time, he also emphasized one point: "But I am the commander-in-chief of the Turkish and Egyptian Air Forces, and I have the right to ban you from entering, and your Yak-130 is a Soviet technology, so ...... You know. ”

Not to mention, if Alsani, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Turkish-Egyptian Air Force, opposes the introduction of COMAC's Yak-130, this matter is really a bit hanging, not to mention that the second reason put forward by Althani is even stronger: the Yak-130 was financed by COMAC and developed in cooperation with the Soviet Union's Yakovlev Design Bureau.

For the top echelons of the Turkish and Egyptian governments and the military, who had abandoned the Soviet Union and were bent on hugging the thighs of the United States, this factor was something they had to consider: If we had so many options, why did we have to choose products that had something to do with the Soviet Union at the risk of offending the Americans?

This is a conspiracy, no matter where you go, you can take it out and stand on your feet.

This is the reason that Al Thani has been thinking about for a long time to come up with, and he still doesn't believe it, so he can't convince Fernandez Chen?

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

For Tue, who has given up on the Soviet Union and began to hug the thigh of the United States wholeheartedly, not to mention that the unit price has only increased by $1 million, even if it is an increase of $1.5 million, the protection fee that should be paid still has to be paid.
