"Doesn't it mean that Rongcheng is the country of abundance? Why is it no different from other places?What about beautiful women?" Regarding Rongcheng's first impression, Xie Kai was extremely disappointed.

He had never been to Rongcheng before, but he had heard too many legends of Rongcheng.

The first city in the southwest, there are beautiful women like clouds, and the streets are full of white thighs or something, but now they are in sight, and there is not.

The streets were dirty, and the crowd of people wore clothes that were not even as good as their 404, and they didn't see any beautiful women. There are many more shops on both sides of the street than 404.

"Indeed, the country of abundance, as for the beauties, you said that your kid has not grown any hair, what about looking at the beauties?" Zheng Yucheng despised Xie Kai.

He drove directly to the Jinjiang Hotel, which was a name that was built in 58 years and was personally selected by Mr. Zhu and Marshal Chen.

Jinjiang Hotel is not only the best hotel in the whole city, but also the best in the southwest.

"The best hotel in the Southwest, where Iraqis stay. Zheng Yucheng parked his car directly in the parking lot in front of the hotel, and there were not many cars around.

"How do you find them?" Xie Kai looked around, most of them were cadres dressed as cadres.

I can't see where Iraqis look.

It is still in the Chinese New Year period, and many cadres choose to entertain guests at the Jinjiang Hotel.

Zheng Yucheng walked directly to the hotel front desk, and Xie Kai followed.

"Director Zheng, you're here!" a young man in his thirties greeted Zheng Yucheng when he first appeared in the lobby, "The room has been opened." ”

"Lao Li is here?" asked Zheng Yucheng as he turned to the young man.

"The dragon chief is also here. The young man's answer surprised Xie Kai.

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan are both here?

Even if it's not the New Year, the two of them are usually busy, how can they have time to come here?

Zheng Yucheng didn't ask again, and followed the young man inside.

Xie Kai thought about the purpose of Long Yaohua and their coming, and followed forward.

Iraqis are too conspicuous in Rongcheng, a place where there are not many foreigners, and they should not come out easily.

"How? They didn't say how much it would take?" After seeing Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan, Zheng Yucheng asked.

"No, they need to talk to you about it. The meeting room is ready for you to use. Li Mingshan said, "They haven't been in contact with Factory 132 yet." ”

"It's like an underground party joint. Zheng Yucheng complained with a bitter face. "Ask them when they have time, and let's talk first. ”

He didn't say anything more, but he would talk to the Iraqis first.

The Iraqis were also anxious, and after being questioned, they said that they could talk to Zheng Yucheng immediately.

Li Mingshan stepped forward and asked the hotel to prepare a small conference room, and all the irrelevant people around him drove away. No one was making a fuss.

"Colonel, we meet again. Zheng Yucheng saw that they were all old acquaintances, and greeted Ibrahim with a smile.

"Zheng, Happy New Year!" Ibrahim actually learned a word of Chinese, even if it was very lame. "To correct, I'm already a major general, although the rank has not been changed. ”

"Congratulations!" When Zheng Yucheng heard this, he naturally knew that this guy must have been given credit for the purchase of avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.

He didn't think that people came to China to buy weapons and equipment, and where is the purchase of a missile enough for a colonel to be promoted to major general!

"Xie is just right here, just so we need to communicate something. ”

For Shekai to be here, the Iraqis were a little surprised.

"General, wouldn't it be the president of your country who has taken a fancy to me, and really let me be my son-in-law?" Xie Kai said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became lively.

"I'm sorry to have you here this time, we're short on time!" Ibrahim quickly got to the point, "We need more avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles from you." ”

"General, you ordered 200 sets before, and we have just started production. Although the missile is not large, the technology is relatively complicated...... "Zheng Yucheng knew the bottom in his heart, but he did not directly agree.

If the Iraqis want too many quantities, the delivery time is too urgent, and it is difficult to produce them.

"We know this, and this time we are adding some more to the previous order. Due to the large volume of purchases, we would like your prices to be lowered a little more...... This is also related to our subsequent cooperation. Ibrahim doesn't beat around the bush either.

As he said, time is tight.

There has been cooperation with the 404 base before, and the specific performance parameters do not need to be understood, and the content of the contract can not be changed.

This is the only question of price.

One hundred thousand dollars for one missile, the number is small, and the total amount will not be too much.

If there are more, even if it is only 5,000 dollars less, it will be a lot of money, and you can buy some other weapons and equipment.

"How big is it?" asked Zheng Yucheng.

If the quantity is large to a certain extent, there is no problem in reducing the price, and the production cost will be reduced a lot.

"An additional 1,000 sets of avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, and at the same time, a batch of surface-to-air missiles with a longer range and more advanced performance than this missile will be ordered, as well as the air-to-air missile contract we talked about last time. Ibrahim didn't hide anything and handed it over.

Zheng Yucheng's face became surprised.

It's one thing to guess, it's one thing to hear, it's another thing to face it in person.

"As for the follow-up technology development, we can't answer this matter now. A thousand avant-garde orders, I can reply to you now. Zheng Yucheng said, "What is the price you want?"

"Sixty thousand dollars a set. Harry Moissan, calmly said, "We know that your production costs will not be very high. ”

"Lieutenant colonel, the cost of production needs to be added to the cost of technology research and development. The reason for the outstanding performance of this missile is not only the new design in terms of engine, but more importantly, the design of the missile guidance part ......," Xie Kai said.

If you want to reduce the price so much for a thousand pieces, you can't do it at all.

"We have made it clear before that the cost of both the missile and the launch system is very high. The launch system has its own target locking function...... It can fully cooperate with radar vehicles and other operations, and can initially lock on before the enemy's fighters appear in the field of vision, and constantly track ......"

Xie Kai continued.

They were thinking about how to get more money out of the pockets of the Iraqis, and the other side was also thinking about buying them more missiles for less.

"For the price, we couldn't accept it. Zheng Yucheng shook his head and said, "Not counting the launch system, the cost of the missile has already exceeded this price." ”

has not been tested in actual combat before, and Zheng Yucheng does not have the confidence he has now.

Even if there are more orders and more technical cooperation, he will not accept so much price reduction.

The big press requires too much money.

Originally, it was thought that the Iraqis were going to buy 2,000 pieces, but now it has become 1,000 pieces. How is it possible that only half of the $200 million he had estimated was left, and now that the Iraqis were offering a price of only $60 million?

"The price is already very high. According to our tests, although the performance is very good, it does not pose a threat to aircraft flying at too high altitudes...... Even, unable to catch up with the fleeing plane...... "The Iraqis did not know that the Chinese side had heard the real battlefield performance from the Pakistani population."

Pakistan originally sought technology, but was thwarted by China.

As soon as it was over, the Iraqis came to China.

The difference is less than a week.

"General, for our own anti-aircraft missiles, we are well aware of the performance. This is originally an individual anti-aircraft missile, and its role is to improve the air defense capability of the ground forces...... "Xie Kai said with a smile.

Didn't the Pakistanis tell them that their idea of attacking avant-garde missile production technology had failed?

"Before that, the Pakistanis wanted to get the technology for the production of our missiles, and they gave very good terms, which we refused. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

Ibrahim was a little puzzled, could it be that the Pakistanis told the Chinese about the performance of avant-garde missiles on the battlefield?

That's not a good thing.

"If you hadn't performed well on the battlefield, you wouldn't have come back to China so quickly. Xie Kai said tentatively.

Harry Moissan's head shook his head, "We are here, not because of the excellent performance of your missiles, but because we want to negotiate a contract with you for the purchase of fighter jets. ”

"Damn the Iranians bought a large number of fighters from the USSR, and as soon as we do not get enough of them to keep them suppressed, our ground forces will be seriously threatened from the air. Ibrahim also emphasized. "The increase in the number of purchases is also based on the fact that although the performance of your missiles is not particularly outstanding, it can provide some air defense capabilities for our ground forces......"

Zheng Yucheng and Xie Kai couldn't help but look at each other and smile when they heard their explanation.

The excuses made by the Iraqis are too bad.

"General, you can get better and cheaper anti-aircraft missiles from France, Britain and other countries. Xie Kai said with a smile.

Give yourself this set.

In other respects, he would really consider cutting the price or something.

For example, the Iraqis can say that they do not have enough funds now, and they can say that their foreign exchange reserves are declining, and they want to use oil fields or something to mortgage and wait until the war to pay back.

For the sake of the safety of funds, in order to avoid problems with long nights and dreams, Iraq, a country like Iraq that will be beaten by the United States after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, will absolutely not allow them to owe their debts.

It's too hard to take it back.

It is acceptable to lower the price and let them give less money and give the money first.

Now they are actually using deception, obviously with good performance, they have to think that the Chinese side does not know the actual combat performance to lower the price.

We are purchasing you because of the recession of your Chinese military industry, doing good deeds, and helping others to purchase so much.

"A set of 100,000 US dollars, no matter how much it is, there is no room for negotiation in terms of price!" Xie Kai said firmly.
