"We can follow the cooperation between you and Pakistan, joint research and development, and joint technology. Alpha looked at Zheng Yucheng and said sincerely.

F-14 fighters, Iran lacks spare parts, if China has units that can be copied successfully, many of their fighters can fly back into the blue sky.

Zheng Yucheng looked at each other and was a little moved.

Originally, they were very attracted to this fighter, but now that the Iranians are cooperating, it is natural that the Iranians will contribute a large part of the funds.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng's expression, and without waiting for him to speak, he said, "General, I'm very sorry, we have no interest in such a fighter for the time being. ”

As soon as these words came out, both sides looked at Xie Kai in amazement.

Not interested?

"The third-generation heavy fighter is not a project that our unit can support at present. Without national funding support and supporting technical systems, there is no way to ......"

"We can contribute part of the funding, part of the technology!" Alpha looked at Xie Kai dissatisfied.

What's this kid's idea?

The cooperation between Base 404 and the Iraqis has a lot to do with the F-14.

"How much money can your country contribute? The Pahlavi dynasty's tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves have been frozen by Western countries, and hundreds of billions of investments in the United States and Europe will not be returned to your country......" Xie Kai looked at Alpha and said with a calm face.

Iran doesn't have much money.

If there is money, the Iranians will not stay inside the base all the time.

"We have oil! We can use oil to prop up this project. International oil prices have been rising!" Hazari said, clenching his fists.

Iran's oil reserves are among the top in the world, but the United States and Western countries have sanctioned Iran under the control of Ayatollah Khomeini, and even Japan, South Korea and other major Asian oil importers no longer purchase Iranian crude oil.

"But your oil can't be sold, and there's no way to turn it into a knife. Xie Kai pouted and said, "The relationship between your country and Western countries has not changed so far......

"Your country's demand for oil has been increasing. "Alpha did not expect that Xie Kai would be able to point out the problems that Iran is currently facing.

"China's oil extraction is also constantly increasing, and China even has the ability to export oil!" Xie Kai hardly gave Zheng Yucheng and others a chance to interject.

The oil-for-equipment program is feasible in the short term.

However, there is no way to operate directly with 404, and before the implementation of the automobile strategy in China, it is impossible to increase the demand for oil too much in the short term.

Tens of billions of dollars have been invested in fighter projects, and the 404 base is unlikely to be able to support it.

The Iranians did not expect that they thought they had an important bargaining chip, but the other side did not buy it at all.

"International oil prices are indeed rising, which is why the countries of the Middle East support Saddam Hussein to continue the war with your country. Iraq and Iran, the two largest oil producers, have had problems with oil exports, benefiting other oil exporters. Even the Soviet Union reaped huge benefits. Xie Kai's words made the Iranians look embarrassed.

The international community has mixed opinions about the Iran-Iraq war, and Western countries are suffering from rising oil prices and naturally hope that the war will end.

Oil-exporting countries, however, simply do not want to see the end of the war.

Iran and Iraq are among the top oil producers.

Especially the Soviets, their economy has always been supported by oil and gas exports, the original oil price reduction, the Soviet Union's domestic economic difficulties, coupled with many military projects with huge funding needs, made the Soviet Union's domestic economy even worse.

When the Iran-Iraq war broke out and international oil prices rose, the Soviets were the happiest.

Therefore, even if Iraq and Iran could not pay for the goods, they did not hesitate to sell equipment to the two countries and let them continue to do so.

Whether it is Iran or Iraq, it is still somewhat unsustainable.

"What do we want oil for? Set up another company to take care of this business? If the two barrels of oil don't use our oil, how can we exchange it for funds? Can we set up our own oil refinery and then sell the oil?" Xie Kai asked a series of questions, so that Zheng Yucheng and the others could not figure out his specific thoughts.

The oil-for-equipment plan was originally proposed by Xie Kai, but it was resisted by Zheng Yucheng and other members of the management committee, who were considered to be rich in resources and resources.

Now that the Iranians have brought it up again, Zheng Yucheng and others have been tempted for the fighter project, and Xie Kaique has resolutely resisted.

"Before, you proposed to let them exchange oil for our equipment, and you were the one who brought it up, and you were the one who opposed it. What exactly do you want?" Zheng Yucheng was very dissatisfied with Xie Kai.

The lad is a little too much now.

Was it to test his place in the hearts of the people?

"Unlike now, the Iranians wanted to build F-14 fighters. From the aerodynamic layout to the power system, to the avionics system, the fire control system, and the supporting weapon systems, how much do we need to invest? Xie Kai sighed.

He is not optimistic about the imitation of the F-14 fighter at all.

The technical difficulty is too high, the investment is too large, and the final benefit is too low.

"We can't just watch that cooperation can't be reached, and if we don't agree, they can find other units in China to cooperate. Bai Yanjun said worriedly.

"In addition to us, how many other units in China can come up with money to carry out their own projects?" Xie Kai asked Bai Yanjun rhetorically. "Imitation is basically used for technical reserves. ”

"The above support for the oil-for-equipment program is a huge opportunity for the development of our base. Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, hoping to see his inner thoughts from the expression on this kid's face.

However, this kid didn't have a single expression at all.

"We just need money!" Xie Kai said firmly. "The base doesn't have the heart to manage these businesses, the two barrels of oil are not the same system as us, and their own lives are not easy. ”

The automobile strategy was not implemented, and the domestic two-barrel oil profit was far less bullish than the most profitable unit in China in later generations.

Of course, the current two barrels of oil have not yet come out, but the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.

"In other words, unless they sign a contract with a third-party company, the oil will be imported by the third-party company, and then settle the settlement with us?" Wang Guilin somewhat understood what Xie Kai meant.

"No, we cooperate with Iran, we will not join a third party, the Iranians give money, we give equipment! They cooperate with other companies, and they have nothing to do with our base. Xie Kai shook his head and said.

Wang Guilin's words made him a little tempted.

If he finds someone to set up this company, it will be convenient at that time.

Control the oil imports of the Iranians, do a good job of relations with the Iranians, and when the international oil prices rise, and then desperately extract oil, even if a barrel of oil only earns two or three dollars, it is a very large amount of money.

It is impossible for people to be selfish.

Especially in the current position.

Eventually, Xie Kai once again gave up on the tempting idea.

"Both Iraqis and Iran are rich in oil, and if we cooperate with them, we can not only obtain crude oil, but also use this cooperation to export our oil equipment to Iran and ......Iraq," Zheng Yucheng thought more.

In other words, this is the idea of Long Yaohua and others.

The above hopes to reach a cooperation in oil for equipment, for this reason.

Petroleum equipment, it is difficult for China to occupy the market controlled by Europe and the United States, with the export of petroleum equipment, for the entire system of the domestic oil industry, is a huge promotion.

"It has nothing to do with us. If the above wants this, it can be led by the above, the Iranians pay for the oil, and the Ministry of Petroleum Industry will settle the funds for us...... "Xie Kai's vision is not high.

He is more worried that when the Ministry of Petroleum Industry pits 404, it will not be a problem for Iranians to pay for oil, but if oil wants to become funds, it must go through the refineries under the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, and then settle the settlement to 404 after sales.

It is impossible for every system in the country to occupy a part of the business in 404.

In that case, it is completely a search for death, and in the end there are enemies everywhere.

"You can have brought it up before. Zheng Yucheng didn't know how to convince Xie Kai, "Think about this matter again? We mean that it can be operated like this, and it is a big deal that we will set up a special resource import and export company." Whether it is within the scope of the USSR or the NATO camp, it is difficult to get a market for our equipment, and potential customers are economically underdeveloped places such as the Middle East, Africa, and South America. These countries in need have very poor economic strength, and we can create a comprehensive economic and military cooperation ......."

Zheng Yucheng said patiently to Xie Kai.

Oil-for-equipment is just one part of this huge plan.

"You also said before that our domestic per capita resource share is too low, and we have calculated with professional personnel, and our domestic per capita share of various resources is not ranked in the front in the world......" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai with hope in his eyes.

They've really figured it out now.

"The funds in the hands of the base need to be invested to obtain greater profits, domestic mines or something, there is no meaning, we have to seek resources internationally...... Qi Yuanzhi also spoke.

The members of the Governing Council are still far-sighted in this regard.

Xie Kai looked at them and frowned, thinking that if this was really the case, it would not be a bad thing for the future country.

Every year, China imports hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore, and imports a lot of other resources.

Whatever China buys, the price of what is raised internationally, and the entire world economy is slowly developing by relying on the Chinese market.

"It's not a quick return on investment of money. Xie Kai said worriedly, "Investing in these is indeed profitable, and investing overseas also has a very big risk, once the other party's government collapses, ......."

"That's a later thing, and once there is cooperation in this area, we must definitely consider the issue of risk. Seeing that Xie Kai was somewhat loose, Wang Guilin hurriedly said.

This matter is very important, and it is not something that the 404 family can handle.

Moreover, all kinds of resources also need to cooperate with the Ministry of Minerals, etc., and they need strong support from above.

"The problem of funds is not a problem, the National Bank can lend us at a low interest rate, as long as it does not exceed the part of the funds in our hands, there is no problem. Wang Guilin continued.

In this way, 404 has nothing to worry about in these areas.

"Iraqis also want to pay for it with oil, because after so many years of war, both countries are poor, and it is difficult to sell oil. ”

"Which company can our base control, and the above won't interfere with this company?" Xie Kai asked.

Ownership is the most important thing.

"We control the head office, and we have branches below, such as petroleum, and we have a part of the shares with companies related to the petroleum industry...... Mr. Zheng said. "Naturally, we will not easily hand over the control of the company to other units. ”

Under such conditions, no matter how much Xie Kai opposes, it will be meaningless.

Low-interest loans from the National Bank, which are already subsidized in disguise 404.

404 huge funds, used to invest in these aspects, not only have profits, but also ensure the safety of funds, for the country's mineral resources to find overseas sources.

"If that's the case, the plan is okay, as long as there is no shortage of R&D funds, there will be no problem. Xie Kai nodded and said.

In fact, it's not that I don't have ideas in my heart, it's just that there is no point in saying this kind of thoughts now.

404 has too little money in his hands, otherwise, he would invest in Vale or Rio Tinto, lest the last little devil use China to import more than half of the world's iron ore and keep rising prices, but China does not have any bargaining power.

"The new company, I'm going to send your mother to take charge of ......" Wang Guilin revealed to Xie Kai a piece of news that Xie Kai didn't expect anyway.

Xie Kai was stunned for a moment, and immediately objected, "My mother is not studying business management or economics and trade!"

"It's better to ask her about it. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

looked at the other people, and they all looked at Xie Kai with a smile.

Obviously, these old guys have discussed, and Xie Kai also knows that they are trying to help himself in this matter.

"That's also a subordinate unit of the base, responsible for our resource cooperation with overseas. This is a third-party company that deals weapons and equipment with other countries...... "Zheng Yucheng and others obviously have a preliminary plan.

It was useless for Xie Kai to object.

What's more, he didn't intend to refute it.

Why did the management committee let his mother take charge of this company, Xie Kai was like a mirror in his heart, Liu Xu of this company was just a manager on the surface, and Xie Kai was actually controlling it behind the scenes.

But he had no experience in this kind of international trade at all.

Xie Kai is not interested in such a position, and he is ready to communicate with the old lady well, if the old lady is really interested, she can go out and open another company, which is far better than mixing in the system.

"Let's talk about this later, the Iraqis are also ready to pay for some of it with oil? If there is too much oil, we can absorb it domestically?" Xie Kai was worried about this.

"Oil for equipment, there are additional conditions, our domestic oil equipment, some post-war reconstruction work between the two sides after the end ......of the Iran-Iraq war," Wang Guilin said again.

Xie Kai's eyes widened.

He never imagined that these old guys were not too short-sighted, but long-term.

The problem is that these old guys should not have taken into account that after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, the US imperialists will take action against Saddam, and although the Gulf War has only lasted a few months, and the ground war has only lasted 100 hours, the US imperialists have been bombing Iraq.

Iran is not dealing with the entire Western countries, and when the time comes, will Chinese engineering companies be able to make money in Iran and Iran?
