404 is indeed short of money, and the gap is not small, as long as you want to do a new project, you have to have money, not a little.

The initial budget of the Super Seven Project is at least 500 million US dollars, and even if there is Pakistani investment, it will need 250 million US dollars, which is the biggest gap.

Iraq is short of equipment, and most of the equipment has been consumed after more than five years of fighting in the Iran-Iraq war.

The cooperation between the two sides seems to be a real win-win situation.

"General, you are right. But it's not just Iraq that needs it, it's your enemies who need it, they also need advanced ground equipment. Xie Kai said with a smile, "This kind of tank, they didn't like it before, but it showed such excellent performance on the battlefield, will it not be investigated?"

In Xie Kai's view, this is the reason for Iraq's urgency.

The goods are sold to two, this is known to everyone, and it is impossible for the 404 base to sell only one.

And this tank, until now, has not yet been finalized, and the Persians did not look down on it at all, but preferred the base to be transformed and equipped with a cloud burst bomb as a red flag for the warhead.

The performance is eye-catching, and it has suffered a big loss, will the Persians give up such a tank?

No.

However, the manufacturing capacity of the base is not high, and when both sides need it, they place orders, and they will face a situation like avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.

Naturally, Iraq could not accept such an outcome.

"That's their problem, but now it's just us, and we're not setting it yet. Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

If he doesn't want to say it, even if he doesn't, the Chinese side will know the situation.

In the entire logistics maintenance team, there are technicians from Hongqi Machinery Factory.

"General, I can't promise you this now. Need to talk to my superiors. Xie Kai knew that there would be no result if he continued to talk about it.

Why are the Iraqis so desperate to get their hands on the huge number of 359 tanks, even if there are quite a few technical problems.

After finishing speaking, he handed back the cashier's note in his hand, which had been pinched with warmth.

Whether it was to reduce the price or to produce only for Iraq, he could not answer.

Ten million dollars is a lot, but compared to the losses caused to the base if the other party's requirements are met, this 10 million dollars is too little.

"You take it, whether it succeeds or not, this is a welcome gift from the president. "Ibrahim never thought of coming back from the time he gave it out.

The Chinese have a saying that eating people is soft and their hands are short.

Knowing that it was unlikely that this kid Xie Kai would help, but he was still ready to give him the 10 million dollars, and they knew Xie Kai's status in that base.

"No merit is not ......" Xie Kai directly put the promissory note on the coffee table in front of him and got up to say goodbye.

If you don't take this money, your heart will be comfortable.

Anyway, he is not short of this money, although the game console company does not know the situation yet, at least it will not be short of 10 million dollars.

Hongqi Machinery Factory has always been producing game consoles.

"Really on the battlefield?" went back to tell his father about the situation, Xie Jianguo was a little unconvinced, "Our test doesn't have such advanced data." ”

"That's why I'm wondering. Unless Zhang Deming replaces the original tested Chobham armor during the production process. Only such an explanation can work.

Otherwise, the 359 tank's defenses were not as strong as they appeared.

Xie Jianguo nodded, "There is such a possibility." What if the tanks are not negotiated and the other side does not take us into contact with the Soviets?"

Have to worry.

Ibrahim personally went to Jordan not to help the 404 base get engines from the Soviet Union.

"That's what I'm worried about. The Iraqis not only want to bargain, but they also want us to prioritize supplies. But right now, I don't know anything about the base. Xie Kai sighed, "But $3 million, the price is indeed a little higher." ”

"Are you really going to sell them for $2.2 million? It's still not cheap, but it's not cheap. Xie Jianguo looked at Xie Kai, "Just let them talk about the affairs of the base." It's not a good thing that you're always meddling in these things. ”

"I want to intervene, can I do it?" Xie Kai looked at his father, "Pakistan, you have a meeting with Kachihead and them, and I am not allowed to go." ”

"Let's sleep!" Xie Jianguo was a little embarrassed for a while.

He doesn't really have the right to make decisions about tank projects, especially in terms of international cooperation and arms sales.

On the contrary, Xie Kai can still call the shots.

Where can Xie Kai sleep.

turned to Tian Li, "Do you have any contact with the embassy in Jordan?"

Tian Li looked at Xie Kai, puzzled why Xie Kai remembered to contact the embassy.

"I need to get in touch with the country. Xie Kai said. "The embassy's communication channels are secure. ”

"You can't use the embassy's contact details. Tian Li shook her head, "When I came, Director Zheng said that if you have any ideas or need to contact the base, I will convey them." ”

Xie Kai looked at Tian Li and measured the credibility of her words in his heart.

When I thought about it, there was nothing I couldn't say, and I directly told Tian Li that the Iraqis wanted to purchase 359 tanks at a price of $2.2 million, which was too low, and $3 million a tank was indeed too high.

even asked Tian Li to report back the results of the 359 tank on the battlefield for the first time.

"Rest assured, I will report back as soon as possible. Tian Li assured Xie Kai.

Xie Kai didn't bother to pay attention to it, and ran to sleep by himself.

The next day, the Jordanian side continued to talk nonsense with the delegation and did not mention anything serious.

It's as if Ibrahim didn't show up.

made Xie Jianguo and the others depressed, they came here to seek a fighter contract.

Even if the Soviets were not in contact with the Chinese representatives in Jordan, they shouldn't have wasted so much time, should they?

Until the afternoon, a Jordanian general expressed his desire to cooperate militarily with China, but Xie Jianguo could not make up his mind and could only say that he would report the situation.

"Dad, don't think about it. Even if the Jordanians want to buy weapons and equipment, they won't communicate with us, and these guys are helping the Iraqis drag us down. Xie Kai saw that his father was worried, but he understood what was going on. "Besides, this doesn't conflict with the original itinerary. Wouldn't it be nice to have fun in Amman? We can't see anything but bare mountains at our base. ”

According to the original itinerary, the team will stay in the Jordanian capital for two days, and on the third day will enter the garrison where the 359 tanks are located.

Amman, the capital of Jordan, is in Zone 2, six hours behind Zone 8 in China Standard Time.

404 is located in the northwest, which is just over four hours ahead of Jordan.

Xie Kai and others are still wandering around the capital of Amman.

Although Jordan is also a poor country in the Middle East, it is much more developed than its own cities.

"Let's all share our opinions. There was no result last night, and today there must be a result. Zheng Yucheng looked at the more than ten people in the conference room, and said with a serious expression, "The situation that Xie Kai fed back is something we didn't grasp. Harry Moisan did not tell us about the results of the 359 tank in the previous days......"

"Again, since the performance is superior, the price is even more indispensable. Wang Shuwei said calmly.

Xie Kai made it very clear that $3 million a car is not cheap. Nowadays, we need more money, and if the price is not lowered, it is difficult to ask the other party to pay all in cash. Wang Guilin suppressed his anger. "Moreover, it is impossible to use such self-use armor for the later sale!"

Zheng Yucheng seems to have gone crazy, and these things have to be involved with Wang Shuwei and others.

There is no need for their advice at all.

The more people there are, the more opinions there are.

What's more, Wang Shuwei and others have always wanted to expand the power in their hands.

Wang Hao was also in the conference room, and he could hardly interfere in such a matter.

He also knows now that the dispute between the two sides over the price is not actually directly related to him and Xie Kai, but the old feud between his uncle and Zheng Yucheng and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can I say a few words?" Wang Hao saw that neither side was willing to give in, and cautiously proposed.

The noisy conference room fell silent.

"What do you think, just say it. Zheng Yucheng glanced at Wang Shuwei and the others, then looked at Wang Hao, and motioned for him to say.

"At present, the 359 tank has not yet been fully finalized, although it has shown very superior performance on the battlefield, but this is not the standard equipment we sell later. The armor aspect will definitely be lowered...... "Wang Hao's voice was not loud at first, and he slowly became bold, "We don't know the specific situation, and Xie Kai is in Iraq, he can communicate directly with our technicians to understand the situation, and there are many technicians in the team who can make a comprehensive assessment according to various situations...... His father was also a vice president of the 359 tank and could know an approximate price......"

"You mean to give this right to Xie Kai, a young man who doesn't have any hair?" Wang Shuwei was the first to be unhappy.

For his nephew, he has some hatred for iron and steel.

"No, to be exact, his father, Chief Engineer Xie Jianguo, is in charge. The specific content of the negotiation can be transferred to the base...... The base can give an approximate range...... "Wang Hao really doesn't want to see such a meaningless quarrel continue.

"How much do you think the range is appropriate?" Zheng Yucheng was also stunned, and made eye contact with Wang Guilin and a few others.

Could it be the conspiracy of Wang Shuwei and others?

Or, is this the pit that Wang Hao dug for Xie Kai?

Once Xie Kai's father and son negotiated a low price, it can be said that they received the other party's benefits.

How much is low?

Even if it's three million dollars, you can be blamed.

"I think it's better not to involve their father and son in this matter. Wang Guilin refuted first.

For Wang Hao, this kid, he once again felt that Xie Kai was making trouble for himself.
