Da came out of Wu Shican's room, and everyone returned to their own rooms. Feng Fei and Feng Xiaochen lived in the same room, after Feng Fei entered the door, he quickly closed the door, and then grabbed Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiaochen, your equipment is selling so well, you can't forget about our affairs." ”

"What's your business, what's the matter?" Feng Xiaochen was tired for a day, his brain was still a little dizzy, and when he heard his uncle say this, he subconsciously came to a sentence.

"What's the matter? You really forgot about us!" Feng Fei was annoyed all of a sudden, he held the towel he had just used to cover his face, glared at Feng Xiaochen angrily, and asked.

"Uh......" Feng Xiaochen then remembered that Feng Fei was not on the same side as himself, people seemed to have been fooled by himself to sell artillery, but he was talking to him all the way on the plane, but he really forgot about it. He said with a smile: "Second uncle, look at you, don't worry, didn't we just arrived in Avare, selling arms is such a thing, you can't go to the newspaper to shout like selling fertilizer equipment, you have to take your time." ”

Feng Fei went to the bathroom and picked up a hot towel again, still covering his face, and then said to Feng Xiaochen: "What do you mean by taking your time, if I don't say it, you will forget about it and go to Java, right?" Xiaochen, I can tell you, I will help you today, it is my obligation, my mission to Africa is to sell howitzers, if I can't complete the task, I can't finish with you." ”

"You can't finish the task, why don't you finish with me?" Feng Xiaochen laughed and teased.

Feng Fei was choked for a moment, and then said: "You brought up this matter, you patted your chest in front of Dong Lao, there is no joke in the army, don't you know this sentence?"

"But I'm not a soldier, are you a soldier, this matter should be your business, right?" Feng Xiaochen was still joking with his uncle, which meant that he was a bit of a small seller. However, he also has his own reasoning, everyone is an uncle covering his nephew, how can there be a nephew like Feng Fei, who in turn wants his nephew to cover.

Feng Fei also figured out this section, but he really couldn't help it. He had watched this nephew grow up, and a few years ago, he felt that his nephew was young and inexperienced, and that he, as an uncle, needed to take care of it from time to time. But in the past two years, Feng Xiaochen has been able to excel, and he was even able to convince Dong Laodu, and this ability alone is what his uncle sighs at himself. At this time, he can only rely on his nephew, anyway, this is also for official business, he is not ashamed.

"Xiaochen, I can tell you that the factory sent me out to let me supervise you. If you dare to drop the chain, believe me or not...... I'll tell your grandma to go!" Feng Fei hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that it would be a little deterrent to bring the old ancestor out, and his eldest brother, that is, Feng Xiaochen's father, Feng Li, probably couldn't do anything about Feng Xiaochen.

No, I'm starting to look for my mother, uncle, can we have some luck?" Feng Xiaochen muttered in his heart, but his face changed to a flattering smile, and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, this kind of thing can't be rushed." Well, tomorrow I'll go to Gajan and ask him to help us inquire about whether Avare's army needs to be replaced, and if any other countries need to change their equipment. It's much easier for Africans to ask about this kind of thing than for us outsiders, don't you think?"

Listening to Feng Xiaochen's reasoning, Feng Fei had no choice, he snorted and said: "I don't care what you ask, anyway, if you fail to sell our howitzers this time, I won't go back, and you don't want to go back." ”

"Alas, well...... then" Feng Xiaochen gave in.

The next day, Feng Xiaochen, Wu Shican and their entourage still set up stalls to receive African officials who came to consult, and several officials from countries bordering Avaré had already called back to China and called more knowledgeable personnel to discuss further details with Feng Xiaochen and them. There are also some countries that are far away, and there are also commercial counselors from embassies who come to inquire about the news.

At noon, on behalf of the Avaré cabinet, Gai Zhan came to visit the Chinese delegation, and after eating a fairly sumptuous lunch, Feng Xiaochen called Gai Zhan aside alone, and said to him with a smile: "Minister Gai Zhan, thank you for your support, in the past two days, there have been more than a dozen companies that have come to the hotel to discuss cooperation with us, if we follow this momentum, I estimate that we can talk about the next two hundred million cooperation intentions this time." ”

"Then I will congratulate Mr. Feng. Gaijan said in a fake way.

Feng Xiaochen said: "If these cooperation intentions can be achieved, it will not only be a happy event for our family." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Gai Zhan clearly knew what Feng Xiaochen meant, but he still pretended to be ignorant.

Feng Xiaochen said: "I said that if we can do business with the help of Minister Gaijan, I will express my gratitude to Minister Gaijan. I don't care about the specific extent of feedback, and we still need to go back and ask our leaders. However, I think that the ratio of about 5 per 1,000 can be considered, after all, Minister Gaijan also needs to do things at a cost. ”

"Five thousandths?" said Gaijan felt a little dry in his mouth. This time, Avaré imported a hot rolling mill from China, and the contract amount was 240 million, of which the so-called "consulting fee" given to him was 1.5 thousandths, that is, 360,000 US dollars. This time, Feng Xiaochen said that he could negotiate a contract amount of one or two hundred million US dollars, but he promised to give five thousandths as a rebate, if it is calculated as 200 million US dollars, it is a full 1 million US dollars.

Of course, he knew that Feng Xiaochen offered such a ratio because the money was not for him alone, but because he also had to take care of the officials of those countries who had the intention of cooperation. To put it bluntly, Feng Xiaochen hoped that Gai Zhan would use the money to help him buy off the officials of those countries. But even so, if the total amount is really $1 million, it will be a considerable amount in the hands of Gajan.

"I'll find a way to talk to them, and I'll use the example of our cooperation with Chinese friends to convince them. Gai Zhan replied, he knew that Feng Xiaochen was waiting for him with this attitude.

"These countries are so poor, and there are so few countries like Avaré that can come up with $240 million at once. Feng Xiaochen said with emotion.

"No way, our African countries are indeed too poor, and it is very good to be able to come up with money for industrial construction. In some countries, in addition to maintaining the president's livelihood, the rest of the revenue is only enough to buy some arms. Gejan commented.

"Speaking of arms, I have another thing to do, and I want to trouble Minister Gayjan. Feng Xiaochen said to Gai Zhan as if he remembered something by chance.

"What's the matter?" said Gajan, wary.

Feng Xiaochen said: "When we came out this time, we were relatively tight in terms of funds, and later we borrowed some money from the military to come out. Because of this, we owe some favors to the military, and the military hopes that we can help them sell some arms in Africa, in fact, mainly howitzers, I don't know if your country's army has a request for redressing. ”

"Howitzer?" said Gai Zhan's face with a wry smile, "Dear Mr. Feng, you're making too much of a joke. I'm just the Minister of Industry, so how can I meddle in the affairs of the military?"

"It's not meddler, I just want to ask Minister Gajan to help inquire. If possible, it would be nice to help introduce the military officials in charge of arms procurement. Feng Xiaochen pretended to be an understatement.

Gaijan shook his head: "This is impossible, Avare's military is an independent system, and it has a long relationship with our cabinet. They don't deal with our cabinet except when they ask for money. As for arms procurement, it is true that they have some budget every year, but it is mainly for European equipment, and it is very difficult to convince them to buy equipment from your country. ”

"Is that so?" Feng Xiaochen nodded. Weapons are still very particular about inheritance. If Avaré used to use European equipment, then it would be twice as difficult for them to purchase equipment from China. On the one hand, there is a question of relations between the two sides, and on the other hand, there is the issue of compatibility of weapons and equipment. China's weaponry was inherited from the Soviet Union, and the specifications of Soviet-made weapons are not consistent with those of the West, and if they are mixed and used, the pressure on logistical support will be very great. As long as Avare's military is not particularly confused, it will not do this lightly.

"So, what about other countries?" Feng Xiaochen asked again, "As far as I know, there are many countries in Africa that use Soviet-made weapons, and our howitzers are almost the same as those of the Soviet Union. ”

"It's not easy to ask about this kind of thing, is it?" said Gaijan, frowning, looking reluctant.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Minister Gai Zhan, you should do your old friend a favor, right? If we can facilitate this transaction, we will also thank you." I dare not say more, a two-percent discount, I can promise you now. ”

"This ......," Gaijan's eyes widened. When talking about industrial equipment just now, Feng Xiaochen said that he was talking about a discount of five thousandths, but when it came to weapons and equipment, he suddenly increased it to four times, and actually promised to take out a proportion of two percent.

Gaijan understands the situation of his brotherly countries very well. These countries are indeed very poor, and it takes years to spend 10 million or 20 million dollars to build a fertilizer plant. But no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in the military, and when it comes to buying weapons, spending one or two hundred million is not a big deal, who made the African continent so insecure?

If you can get a 2 percent kickback for facilitating an arms deal, you can make much more money than facilitating a deal for industrial equipment. As for the difficulty, Gaijan is convinced that it is only a man-made matter.

"That's it, Mr. Feng, I'll help you ask. I think there is no more hope than the country of Dee, which has been fighting a war at home for several years. ”
