408 This is the real tyrant
"Not only the funds, but also more than 200 million US dollars in foreign exchange, which is not easy to get. Under the contract, $115 million must be paid by May. Xie Jianguo's concern is not only about money.
Foreign exchange quotas, which are not easy to get either.
In the past, there was no foreign exchange reservation in the base.
Each contract is settled in US dollars, but in the end, it has to be settled through the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and the National Bank to pay the soft sister currency to the base.
"Doesn't the military have foreign exchange retained? With more than 2 billion foreign exchange, how can there be 200 million US dollars?" Xie Kai didn't have any worries, "I'll talk about this later." ”
The military took a share of the profits from the base's arms sales in order to retain foreign exchange.
It is not easy to take such a large amount of foreign exchange from the military.
"I have to go back and find a way, otherwise, this contract will be problematic. Xie Jianguo said worriedly, "So I didn't dare to sign the contract today." ”
"As long as there is no problem with the contract, it will be signed, and when I go back, Lao Zheng and Lao Wang will naturally find a way. Xie Kai knew what his father was worried about, he was only in charge of the technical work of the base, such an important big project, and the aircraft design was not completed, and 200 engines were directly purchased. "It doesn't matter if they're going to be helpless or cute, the contract is signed anyway. Of course, when Pakistan sees this thing, their money will fall into our pockets. ”
Who can have the bottom in their hearts?
"I can't explain it. It doesn't conform to the process at all,......" Xie Jianguo complained a little about Xie Kai.
"No, can the Soviets deliver at such a low price?" Xie Kai didn't care. "Don't worry, Lao Zheng and Lao Wang won't have an opinion when they go back. ”
Whether Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin will have an opinion, 200 engines are enough for Pakistan to make up its mind to participate in this project.
The American F-16, not to mention the high price, is slow enough to deliver.
Pakistan is poor, so naturally it is impossible to use all F-16s, otherwise they would not look to China and want to develop a fighter for F-16 to use.
"What about the Iraqis? I haven't seen anything for so many days. If the cooperation can't be reached, they won't place an order......" Xie Jianguo felt that he would be pitted by his son and couldn't get up.
How can you be so confused and not consider these consequences.
Xie Jianguo wanted to regret it, but it was too late.
"I've been waiting for it. The contract was signed on the Soviet side, and it is estimated that it will be about the same on their side. Xie Kai is not at all worried that the Iraqis will give up buying equipment from China.
Ibrahim has been busy these days, and even Issad is constantly sending telegrams to the president.
In order to wait for Xie Jianguo to reach an agreement with the Soviets, Kusse has been waiting, and if he wants to return to Baghdad, he can't.
"Thank you, happy cooperation! I hope your funds will be available soon. When the contract was signed, Kaletovsky smiled and shook hands with Xie Jianguo.
"Of course, we will prepare funds when we go back, and I hope that your country can provide engine ...... as soon as possible" Xie Jianguo did not have much smile on his face.
He signed the contract, more than 200 million dollars!
After some pleasantries, both sides politely invited each other to their own country as guests or something, and then it was over.
The 404 base may send personnel to the Soviet Union to visit the engine manufacturing plant, but this is not something that needs to be considered now.
"You're done talking to the Soviets?" Ibrahim appeared in front of Xie Jianguo that night. "The Soviets have left. Perhaps we should talk about cooperation again. ”
"General, in terms of price, we have already given a great discount......" Xie Jianguo sighed.
One moment it was a buyer, and now it is a seller.
He clearly knows that neither the buyer nor the seller is an easy role.
It's so hard to get a deal done.
"Let's talk about this in Baghdad. Someone would like to know more about the situation. "The purpose of Ibrahim's visit is to invite Xie Jianguo and others to Baghdad.
Xie Kai didn't speak on the side, he knew in his heart that it was the final critical moment of the negotiation.
That same evening, the helicopter took off again.
From Najaf to Baghdad is much closer than to Rutbay.
In just over an hour, the plane landed.
This time, the Iraqis did not arrange for a hotel, but a villa area.
Ibrahim informed Xie Jianguo that senior military officials would meet with them the next day to discuss some issues.
Xie Jianguo knew about the collusion between Ibrahim and Xie Kai, and originally thought that it was to further communicate with senior Iraqi officials, but he did not expect that it was only some Iraqi military officials who knew the specific performance of various equipment.
Performance introduction, has been done a long time ago, such behavior of the Iraqis, is somewhat abnormal.
When he approached Xie Kai to find out what was going on, he had been taken to a farm by the Tigris River by a driver who did not know whether it was Qusai or Ibrahim.
The farm is very large and has a large number of trees such as figs, citrus, linden, ginkgo, pomegranate and date palms, which are completely different from the surrounding farms.
The driver and the bodyguard in the car, I don't know if they are not good at words or for some other reason, they don't talk all the time.
Tian Li followed Xie Kai, although she didn't know where to go or what to do, but she was attracted by the surrounding environment.
"Ostrich?"
Tian Li exclaimed quietly when she saw several large two-legged birds strolling leisurely on a wide grass beside the road.
"Isn't it just a few ostriches? What's all the fuss about! Kuse's father is the president, so how can he also be at the level of a prince, so what is it to keep a few ostriches? The princes of Saudi Arabia and other countries keep lions and leopards as pets at every turn. Xie Kai said disdainfully.
These local tyrants are so rich.
If you don't raise some fierce beasts, you're sorry for their identity.
"What's that?" When Tian Li saw several cute animals on the lawn that were about the size of sheep, with heads like camels, slender necks, and long hair, her eyes stopped moving.
"Grass and mud horse!" Xie Kai saw a living divine beast for the first time.
This thing, but it used to be popular on the Internet.
At that time, Xie Kai thought that if Mo Qi was still there, he would definitely fall in love with this kind of cute beast that all women couldn't refuse.
"Why are you swearing!Who messed with you?" Tian Li looked at Xie Kai dissatisfied.
Xie Kai suddenly cursed, which made her very dissatisfied.
"I said that thing is called a grass mud horse, you see the top of the head, does it look like grass? The long hair on the body, especially the brown ones, don't you look like dirt...... And a little like Ma ......" Xie Kai admired his wit a little.
Originally, grass mud horse was a scolding word that appeared on the Internet in order to avoid river crab mythical beasts, but as a result, I don't know how it became the name of the cute alpaca in the land of China.
"Like a horse?" No matter how you look at it, Tian Li doesn't think about horses.
His head was like a camel, and his body was like a sheep.
Before she could realize, the car had stopped in front of a huge villa.
Xie Kai couldn't find the words to describe the villa and mansion in front of him, which was not enough to describe it.
"Thanks, you're finally here. What Xie Kai didn't expect was that Quse, who was wearing a white Arab robe, actually greeted him at the door in person. "How about my house? It's a gift from my father, and there are a lot of fruit trees in the farm......
What Xie Kai didn't expect even more was that Kuse, who had a habit of cleanliness, actually made a veneer ceremony with him!
Are all the legends fake?
"Your Highness, this villa, I don't have the words to describe it. Xie Kai was sincerely amazed. "Especially the ostriches and alpacas you have are so surprising. I thought His Highness would raise lions or tigers!"
"Don't you think these animals are far cuter than lions and tigers?" Cousey squeezed out a smile, but looked to the side, "Since you like it, I'll give you a few, I have a lot of them here." ”
"Your Highness, lunch is ready. At this time, the butler next to him, who was also wearing a white Arabic robe, said. "Guest, it's been a hard journey. ”
Cousse then invited Xie Kai into the villa.
Resplendent!
When Xie Kai entered the room, he was almost blinded by the dazzling golden light inside.
The big dog is really a big dog, and when you enter the villa, it gives people the feeling of an upstart.
The whole villa is decorated with golden splendor.
"Your Highness, there is something ......" As soon as he walked to the living room, someone was in a hurry to report the matter to Kusse, and at the same time looked at Xie Kai.
"Xie, I have something to deal with here, how about you go to the restaurant with the butler first?" Cousee said to Xie Kai.
When Xie Kai saw this goods, he naturally knew that this goods were going to wash his face.
Sure enough, the legend is true, and I don't know where the cleanliness of this product comes from, is it because he slept with a certain woman and contracted the disease, so he has a psychological shadow?
Xie Kai speculated maliciously.
Following the housekeeper, Xie Kai arrived at the same huge dining room, a long European-style dining table with a large number of flowers on it, and a huge European-style crystal lamp on the top of the restaurant.
"Eat here?" Tian Li was a little surprised.
Compared to the cafeteria at the base, eating here is too depressing.
Even the best hotel restaurant she'd ever seen couldn't compare to this place.
Poverty limits Tian Li's imagination about the living environment of these Middle Eastern tycoons.
Xie Kai also smacked his tongue secretly, never dreaming that one day, he would sit in such a luxurious room and eat with the second son of Iraq.
Soon, Cousey appeared in the restaurant, without even expressing any apology, and directly instructed the butler to arrange for the food to be served.
Xie Kai thought that there would be a lot of people, and it turned out that he was wrong.
In the entire huge dining room, in addition to him and Tian Li, the two guests, there were more than a dozen servants standing aside to serve, and no one else dined together.
"Thank you, you're here to be a guest at my house! This is the best vodka from the Soviet Union......" After the servant poured wine for Xie Kai and Tian Li, Kusse raised his glass.
Do Iraqis also like to talk at the wine table?
Xie Kai was a little puzzled.
When the dish came up, he was dumbfounded.
"Roast the camels?"
"French caviar?"
