If the Americans don't do it, other countries will do it, and if you master the reliance that makes you suddenly, it will bring unexpected gains, no one is a fool, people who see everyone as a fool, you will definitely not go long, Xu Ping'an's caution is still worthy of recognition.

This time Mike came over is the meaning of several generals, if Xu Ping'an is on the road, just move around and see if you can make the White House relax, on the other hand, if Xu Ping'an is not on the road, just treat it as if this incident has not happened, anyway, Mike is retired, and what he does has nothing to do with the military.

The generals have a lot of pensions, but they can't let the generals live a decent life, at most they make you comfortable, and if you want to be very comfortable, you have to get money from other places, and they all have their own means, and getting kickbacks can be used perfectly for whitewashing.

The main thing is that no one dares to investigate the retired generals, this is a huge hornet's nest, what FBI, CIA and the like, if you dare to hit the ideas of the generals, the result waiting for them is to disappear, completely disappear.

Military procurement involves the interests of too many people, even if the generals don't do it, those companies with military supply contracts must kill you to feel at ease, and daring to trouble the generals is simply brainless.

After a night, Mike had breakfast, and then took the car to the Apocalypse Group, yesterday had already contacted Xu Ping'an, and this morning in Xu Ping'an's office for a meeting, the agreed time was ten o'clock.

Qian Wenwen got Xu Ping'an's explanation, and waited directly on the first floor after notifying the security department, if there was no notice, Mike would not be able to enter the headquarters of the Apocalypse Group, and the security system of the headquarters had been installed and debugged and started running.

Mike parked the car and came to the office building, Qian Wenwen greeted him, said a few words in broken English, and took Mike upstairs, came to the door of Xu Ping'an's office, and pushed the door directly.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Mike is here," Qian Wenwen said directly.

"Welcome Mr. Mike as a guest," Xu Pingan said with a smile, speaking in Chinese.

"Thank you" Mike also spoke in Chinese.

Looking at Xu Pingan with great meaning, needless to say, his knowledge of Chinese was mastered by Xu Pingan, and the intelligence system of large enterprises is really not weak.

"Please," Xu Ping'an said.

took Mike to the sofa, waved his hand to Qian Wenwen at the same time, and made a gesture, Qian Wenwen understood, she couldn't be disturbed, and went out with the door.

Xu Ping'an began to make tea, the technique was very skilled, and soon, six cups of tea were brewed, "please" Xu Ping'an said, Mike smiled and began to drink tea, and neither of them said anything else.

After quietly drinking three cups of tea, Xu Ping'an continued to make tea, and the two of them added a cup of tea to their cups.

"Mr. Mike, are you here this time because of super paint?" asked Xu Ping'an.

"Not bad," Mike said with certainty.

After speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, opened it and handed it to Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an took it, and the two lit it separately, and the atmosphere was more relaxed.

"The military is still DuPont," Xu Ping'an said directly.

"Military," Mike said very calmly.

"What conditions" Xu Ping'an looked at Mike and asked, going straight to the point.

"Xu, we need a twenty percent rebate, if you agree, we'll do this, if not, just because I haven't been here" Mike said directly, without beating around the bush at all.

"Do you think I will agree to this condition" Xu Ping'an looked at Mike and smiled.

"Xu, this is not a small business, I can't figure out why you want to refuse, you know, the sea power of the United States is not comparable to Russia and the Celestial Empire" Mike also said with a smile.

"I know that the top ten navies in the world, the United States is the first, and the second to tenth maritime forces in the bottom can't add up," Xu Ping'an said with a calm face.

This is a matter of no need to think about it, I used to search for it by ferry when I was in school, and it was also reported on the news that the Soviet Union collapsed and the powerful maritime power was fragmented, and the United States did not have it, and it was completely preserved.

"It's just that I'm not optimistic about your operation, the White House won't agree, and DuPont won't agree to you to purchase my products," Xu Ping'an looked at Mike and said with a smile.

"Xu, this is our problem, and now the question is whether you agree or not to agree to this 20% rebate" Mike looked at Xu Ping'an with a calm face.

"Five percent, I won't agree to more," Xu Ping'an said truthfully.

"Xu, it's very insincere when you say that," Mike said unmoved.

As an international joke, if an American military supplier dares to say such kickbacks, he will be kicked out of the door in minutes, and this price is insulting to the generals.

"Mike, my price is transparent, I can't raise the price for you, how can you solve this problem" Xu Ping'an also said calmly.

The meaning is very simple, your domestic suppliers give you high rebates, that is, their profits are high, the price is not transparent, now the price of super paint is transparent, you can't want to increase the price, rashly reduce the profit, definitely not.

"Xu, if this business is to be achieved, it will require a lot of investment, five or six generals will definitely not be able to solve this problem, it will take more than twenty people to come forward, and it will also involve personnel from government units and the Congress."

"There are a lot of people involved, and the business will not be achieved without enough profits, and we don't have a lot of money."

"Again, do you really think we don't know what your costs are," Mike said slowly.

Xu Ping'an smiled, the cost of super paint is not a secret, and those who want to know it can definitely know, but because the patent is in the Apocalypse Group, these people can only endure it helplessly.

"General, if I give such a big deduction, the Celestial Empire will not agree, and Russia will not agree, I am just a businessman, I don't want to cause trouble"

"Again, you should know, how many people are staring at my capital account now, my roots are in the Celestial Empire, I can't just look at the present and not care about the future," Xu Ping'an also said slowly.

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture of please, took a sip of tea, and we negotiated slowly, Xu Ping'an, a big order in the United States, didn't want to give up, it was a huge profit, but it was so easy to give away 20%, and Xu Ping'an wouldn't do it.

Mike frowned, Xu Ping'an just said that he really didn't consider it, the key technologies and products, all countries are relatively tight, and many products cannot be exported, but because of a series of misunderstandings and Xu Ping'an's actions are about to be exported, they can only be released.

But if Xu Ping'an dares to give such a big kickback to the United States, then it is necessary to clean up Xu Ping'an, and let you know what is called great power competition.

"Mike, can you estimate a purchase amount," Xu Ping'an asked.

"Not less than two tens of billions of dollars" Mike looked at Xu Ping'an and said, Xu Ping'an nodded, similar to what he guessed.

"I have a plan,............. This can solve our problem perfectly" Xu Ping'an stretched forward and whispered for a while, Mike frowned and thought about it.

"Xu, let me tell you my bottom line, fifteen percent, below this price, this business can only be ruined," Mike said seriously.

According to Xu Ping'an's plan, there will only be a rebate of eight percent at most, which is absolutely impossible, and such a small rebate will not be able to facilitate this deal, and those politicians are very greedy.

"There is another plan, 3,150 euros a barrel, how to operate is your business, I don't interfere, this is the bottom line of the price, I don't accept bargaining" Xu Ping'an said directly.

Mike frowned and thought seriously, Xu Ping'an took out a cigarette from the table and handed it to Mike, and the two lit it for themselves, swallowing clouds and spitting fog without speaking.

"Xu, the final bottom line, three thousand euros a barrel, don't bargain with me, we know very well how much you cost" Mike stared at Xu Ping'an's eyes and said.

"You know very well what the supply price I have to the Celestial Empire and Russia, this is the bottom line, if this bottom line is crossed, my Apocalypse Company will be difficult" Xu Ping'an looked at Mike very seriously and said.

"Three thousand one hundred euros a barrel, this is the bottom line, if the Celestial Empire embarrasses you, you can move your headquarters to the United States" Mike said with a smile, and Xu Ping'an also smiled.

"My roots are in the Celestial Empire, the headquarters of the Apocalypse Group will not be built in any country outside the Celestial Empire, the price will be set at 3,100 euros, this issue is not discussed" Xu Ping'an said with a serious face, clearly expressing his attitude, this is a matter of principle, and he must not violate his own principles.

Profits can be abandoned, the motherland must not be abandoned, this is Xu Ping'an's bottom line, once this bottom line is involved, it is better not to do business, than to abandon the motherland.

Mike looked at Xu Ping'an deeply a few times, and said very seriously, "You are more principled than Kou Jingwei."

"Thank you," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

After Kou Jingwei's dream group grew and grew, the first step was to change his nationality, and the second part was to move his headquarters to the United States, earning the money of the Celestial Empire to pay taxes to his American father.

Xu Ping'an's clear statement was exchanged for Mike's respect, and when encountering major things of right and wrong, people who adhere to their own principles are worthy of the respect of others.

"I'll need to discuss this when I get back home," Mike said, spitting out the smoke in his mouth.

"That's fast, there are no orders from other companies now, if there is an order, I can only follow the rules set, if I violate the rules, I believe everyone will not agree" Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

Mike also laughed, and the laughter was not small, and Xu Ping'an was stunned when he saw it.

"Xu, how to play the rules of the world, we Americans have the final say, there are not many countries that dare to go against our will, what can they do if they place an order, in a word, the rules and regulations will cancel the order for me" Mike looked at Xu Ping'an very domineering and said.

"You really think that you can run rampant with super fish oil, this is the White House's unwillingness to expand the problem, if you don't know what to do and continue to die, it is a matter of minutes to clean you up, and it is still to clean you up openly"

"Just give you a crime, see who speaks for you, Europe won't care, the Celestial Empire won't care, because they don't want us to expand the scope of the attack, crushing you is no different from crushing an ant" Mike looked at Xu Ping'an and said again, the meaning of beating Xu Ping'an was very obvious.

Mike left, didn't let Xu Ping'an send it, and didn't need Xu Ping'an to send it, as a general, he has the momentum of a general, although he came over this time to talk about business, but it is also the proper meaning to knock Xu Ping'an, don't think that you can't clean you up in the Celestial Empire.
