341 [Long Live Friendship]
Around the oval conference table, after everyone sat down, the Russian waitress in charge of the conference room curled her blonde hair, wore a maid outfit, took a teapot, and poured the tea that Song Zhichao and other foreign VIPs loved to drink.
To be honest, the Chinese tea in Russia is not complimentary, perhaps because of the water quality, the brewed tea seems a little bitter, lacking the sweetness after bitterness.
Of course, Song Zhichao did not come to the Soviet Union to drink tea this time, but to negotiate here, so he did not comment on the tea here.
Soon, negotiations began.
Angrev, who was sitting precariously as the host, was the first to speak: "Dear Song, we have heard from Comrade Paplev that you want to exchange your canned food, clothes, drinks and other daily necessities for our Sutu 154 passenger plane, I don't know if this is true?"
Song Zhichao gently stroked the teacup with his palm, feeling the warmth coming from the teacup--- damn Soviets, such a large conference room doesn't turn on the air conditioning, it's too cold."
In fact, Song Zhichao wronged Anglev and them, and the air conditioner in the conference room began to turn on, but these Soviets have long been accustomed to the cold, and the air conditioner is OK if it is turned on a little bit, and who knows that Song Zhichao and the others are very afraid of the cold.
"Dear Comrade Angrev, what you just said is all true. Song Zhichao said in a firm tone, "We are willing to exchange the daily necessities you need for your four Sutu 154 passenger planes." ”
Angrev smiled: "If that's the case, we're welcome." But ---"
Angliv didn't say anything later, and the Bozhnev next to him smiled: "But we need to think long-term, to be precise, how much of the necessities we need in exchange for our precious plane?"
Both parties have the intention to bargain directly?
Song Zhichao thought about it for a while in his heart and understood, it must have been Paplov who promised the strength of his side in front of these people, coupled with the big-name battle deliberately created when he came just now, so that these people were already convinced of themselves, so they saw the mountain like this and came directly to discuss the specific content of the exchange.
"The price of four planes in the international market should be about fifty or sixty million, but ......" Song Zhichao paused, and as soon as he waved, Jin Jiu handed him a document from the briefcase he was carrying.
Song Zhichao took the information, and then said to the three of Anglev: "However, because the current situation of your country is relatively special, under the sanctions of the United States, Britain, France and other Western countries, even if you have planes, you can't sell them, and the only one who can accept your planes is no one else except us!"
Angrev didn't expect Song Zhichao to be prepared, but he was slightly stunned, but they seemed very calm, took the information that had already been translated into Russian, and looked at it.
About a minute or two later, Anglev and the others exchanged words, and then Anglev asked someone to pour him a glass of vodka, and then said to Song Zhichao with a calm expression: "Thank you for showing us this information, dear Song --- but it's a pity that we have no interest in these!"
Angrev continued to say confidently: "We can make anything in black and white, and now we want honesty and mutual trust." Therefore, 60 million for an airplane, not one of them can be missing. ”
Next to him, Bozhnev nodded and said: "Yes, our plane is very precious, even if it is sold for 60 million in the international market, it is low." ”
Andrew said: "Our plane is very sought-after, even if you don't want it, there will be other foreign guests coming back to snap up it--- good goods are not cheap, it is worth your big price to buy!"
Watching these three people sing and harmonize, Song Zhichao couldn't help but feel funny, could it be said that these Soviet government officials were all actors? This acting skill is too deliberate.
"Mr. Angrev, and Bozhnev, Mr. Andrew, I understand what you mean, and I also know very well what the value of your Sutu-154 passenger plane is--- Ming people don't say secret words, your so-called good goods are not cheap, they must be really good goods!"
"What do you mean by that?" Angrev and the others were upset. You must know that the Soviets in this era are still very proud of heavy industry, especially in aviation and military industry, in their eyes, except for the United States, which can compete with them a little, the planes, cannons and other things produced by other countries are all rubbish.
"I mean, apart from your Sutu 154 airliner, we have other options, such as French airliners, American airliners...... The Boeing series is always better than your Sutu, right?" Song Zhichao calmly threw out the Boeing and let them compare.
The three of Anglev looked at each other, to be honest, they were all high-ranking officials of the Soviet government, not businessmen, business and politics are two different things, especially when it comes to bargaining.
Angrev stiffened his head and said: "Since you like the Yankees Boeing so much, why did you come to us?"
"Yes, you can fly to the United States to do business with those Yankees, what are you doing in our Soviet Union?" Bozhnev replied.
Song Zhichao smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gently, then put down the teacup, folded his hands together, and became a tower-shaped, looking at the three of them with blazing eyes, and said with confidence: "I came here mainly for international friendship!"
"International friendship?" "Three Angreves, you look at me, I see you --- believe you to hell."
"That's right, it's for international friendship. Song Zhichao said with emotion, "As our traditional country of friendship, we in China and the Soviet Union are very good friends, and we have stood on the same front, resisted imperialism, and completed the war against aggression. ”
"The greatness and friendliness of the Soviet people, we take to heart. As an entrepreneur, I always think about the lovely and kind people of the Soviet Union, who have helped us infinitely. ”
"Now, I see that the Soviet people are not well fed and clothed for some reason, and my heart is like a needle bayonet, and for countless late nights, I ask myself--- what can I do for the sake of the Soviet people?"
"Finally, I saw that your side was trying to sell the Sutu 154, and dear Pavlov happened to contact me at this time. This good brother thinks that this is a very good opportunity to strengthen the friendship between the two peoples, and he also knows that I have a lot of daily necessities that can be exchanged for airplanes, so he proposed that I come to the Soviet Union to inspect and see if I can become a partner, whether I can exchange for your passenger planes, and by the way, save the Soviet people from the dire situation......"
Song Zhichao's words were so emotional that even the "good brother" Papleev was stunned, and he almost believed Song Zhichao's nonsense.
"Of course, you may think that I am exaggerating a little, but I can tell you very accurately that I have no intention of buying your Sutu-154 airliner, I am only here by invitation, at the invitation of the Paplov brothers, to come here casually, to travel, to see the exotic customs, if you don't believe me, you can ask Paplov ---"
Hearing this, the three of Angrev looked at Pavlov in unison, Pavlov secretly scolded shit in his heart, but his acting skills are much better than these three high-ranking officials, after all, he is in the black and white zone, and he is a famous "chameleon" in Moscow.
"Yes, yes, I sincerely invited my dear Song to visit the Soviet Union, and as for bringing him to meet you, it is also a coincidence--- I also want to contribute to the people of the motherland!" Pavlov said earnestly.
The three of Angrev again you look at me, I look at you.
Their profound political wisdom seems to be a bit short-circuited in the face of such negotiations.
In fact, Song Zhichao pinched their death holes. Because Song Zhichao knew that for these Soviets, at this time of social turmoil, instead of guarding four dead planes that could not eat or drink, it was better to buy food and other materials, so that he and the people around him could survive, especially when it was close to the harsh winter, the winter in the Soviet Union may freeze to death, there are not enough clothes, hats, shoes, canned food and spirits, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death on the streets.
Whether it is for the sake of the people, or for the official hat on their heads, or for the relatives around them, or for their own future, this exchange must be successful.
"The interests of the people are above all else!" Angrev said suddenly, and then he looked at the two partners beside him with a serious expression, solemnly, and said: "Comrade Bozhnev, Comrade Andrew, now I represent the people, on behalf of the country, I make a decision that can slightly reduce the price of our Sutu-154 airliner, what do you think?"
Bozhnev and Andrew nodded, "We have no doubt, we raise our hands in favor--- for the sake of Sino-Soviet friendship, for our great international friendship, and for the sake of our great Soviet people, it is understandable to occasionally lower the price for our dear Chinese friends." ”
Angrev nodded, then looked back at Song Zhichao and said, "Then dear Song, how much do you think the price is appropriate?"
Song Zhichao thought for a while, and then bargained: "Forty-five million for a plane, how about it?"
The three of Angrev were dumbfounded, this is too ruthless, his own Sutu can be sold internationally, and the minimum can be sold for 50 million.
Just when the three of them were about to open their mouths to object, Song Zhichao spoke again, "If you agree to this price, I will exchange all four planes for daily necessities of the same value! In addition, I will give each of you a big gift package--- you are happy, I am happy, everyone is happy, how about it?"
This is to ......
Everybody understands it.
Tacitly.
Angrev stood up suddenly, and said, "Then it depends on your sincerity dear Song--- in addition, we must also see what the necessities we need look like." We have to be worthy of the people!"
Song Zhichao smiled, and also got up to shake hands with Angeleve and the others and said: "Please rest assured, my sincerity is very sufficient, as for you want to see the goods, I will drive the plane to Hong Kong at the end of this month, and I have prepared all the necessities for the first one for you, just waiting for you to review!"
"Hahaha, that's the best!" Angrev shook hands with Song Zhichao.
"Let's have dinner together, dear friend!" Bozhnev shook hands cordially with Song Zhichao.
"Please taste the craftsmanship of our St. Petersburg chefs, as well as our authentic vodka, which is definitely no worse than your domestic ones!" Andrew said, shaking hands.
In a friendly and peaceful atmosphere, everyone left the conference hall one after another and walked towards the restaurant.
Song Zhichao ostensibly knew that the matter was half successful, and now the most critical moment has come, what kind of gift package should he give to the three Soviet friends?
Etiquette is light and affectionate, and it doesn't apply here.
Well, a headache!
