Chapter 379: Ma Wei's offer, the representatives of the countries in an uproar
Especially the young man named Ma Wei, can he be as powerful as the rumors.
"Russian North Sea Shipyard, can you provide a plan?" asked Canada's Minister of Defense, Jackson, to Ma Wei in the audience.
Ma Wei, who was dressed in formal clothes and had materials on the table, slowly raised his head after hearing this. Then, in front of the microphone, he replied, "Yes, Secretary Jackson." Our Beihai Shipyard is a long-established Russian shipyard that has produced more than 600 ships in total...... Our modern-class destroyers of the Russian Navy, with a full load displacement of 7940 tons, meet the basic requirements of your country...... Including Lada-class submarines, which are diesel-electric submarines of the 4th generation......"
Mavi introduced his own North Sea shipyard, the modern-class destroyers of the Russian Navy, Lada-class submarines, to everyone on the spot. Then, after the introduction, he did not say a word about the amount of the offer. Hearing this, everyone present was a little foggy, and he was stunned.
I thought, "Russia, what kind of plan is this? How can it be that in the end, there is not even a price? Whether it is a warship or a submarine, it is well known." To say it is to say nothing. ”
"Eh, representative of Beihai Shipyard, what is your country's offer? I don't think I heard it just now, right?" Defense Secretary Jackson couldn't help but ask Ma Wei.
Anyway, they, the Canadian Ministry of Defense, at least know the price. And Russia introduced and introduced, but the most critical price was not mentioned at all. It's really depressing to listen to......
"In terms of the amount of quotation, there is no for the time being, and you are welcome to discuss it in detail when the time comes. Ma Wei was confused and said this sentence on the spot. The audience was even more confused, completely unaware of what the Russians were playing.
The shipyard, which was still wary of the Russian side, couldn't help but chuckle at this time, and secretly thought, "Heh, I thought the price of the Russians would be lower than ours." I didn't expect such a reply, treating the Canadians' international bidding as child's play?"
There are also South Korea, France, the Netherlands and other countries that have similar ideas to this shipyard, and they really don't understand which Russians are singing. Why don't you even report the price, and what do you say, you are welcome to talk about it in detail...... Is this selling cute? or is it funny?
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that Ma Wei's Beihai Shipyard has indeed prepared an offer. The total amount is $26.2 billion. At this price, it is not advantageous at all. Even, to put it mildly, even if it drops by another $4 billion, to 22.2 billion, Ma Wei is too lazy to report it to Canada.
Because he knows that these offers are completely in line with the performance of European countries, and there is no meaning. The reason for the sudden change of strategy is not to quote the price. That's because someone in the hall suddenly thought of something. That is, in 2013, the British Prime Minister announced to the world that he had decided to leave the European Union.
After receiving this inspiration, someone who loves to use his brain suddenly had a whimsical association, can he advance this point in time to the present ......? After all, Britain's decision to withdraw from the European Union was not a temporary decision. It is the result of various reasons over the years of joining the European Union......
(The European Union in the parallel world, as early as 1996, changed the currencies of its member states to the euro)
The first round of international bidding for the Canadian Ministry of Defense came to an end in such an atmosphere. On the surface, it seems that the price quoted by the shipyard is more advantageous. And the most nonsense thing is that there is no price on the Russian side.
In the evening of the same day, representatives of shipyards in almost most countries reported today's on-site situation to their superiors. Specific gaps were analyzed for subsequent improvements. Of course, they also said about the Russian North Sea shipyard.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, Russia is the world's second largest arms power in terms of military power. It's really a novelty to be so nonsense on the offer.
"What? The Russians really didn't give the amount of the offer? What kind of trick are they playing? Are you sure it was Ma Wei, who said it himself?" asked the senior general of the South Korean Navy seriously on the phone.
"Yes, Your Excellency Lieutenant General, that's what Ma Wei said, I heard it with my own ears, and there will be no mistake. The representative of the Republic of Korea replied truthfully.
"Hehe, I didn't expect him to be Russian, and there are times when he makes mistakes. Such a low-level mistake is really laughable. "The senior generals of South Korea, directly show their disgust with someone, as well as for the Russians. In their eyes, even if they can't get the order, they don't want to see Russia take it.
There are many similar ideas to the South Korean military. Most of them are hostile countries that have had a relationship with Russia and do not deal with them.
The most advantageous offer has completely disregarded Russia. Think that in this scramble, the Russians are out. What they need to do now is to maintain their advantage, be wary of other countries, and reduce costs and profits to compete with them.
As for France, Britain, Italy, and the Netherlands, which have the possibility of making an internal decision, they do not have the kind of calculations of Japan, South Korea, and other countries at all. No matter how low the price is, or how "grandstanding" Russia is, it is just a drama that has been arranged in advance......
In Mavi's room, the Russian Ministry of Defense, which learned the news, as well as the Russian Navy, called him as soon as possible.
"Hey, Mavi, how are the international orders of the Royal Canadian Navy going? Are there any troubles?" the Russian Ministry of Defense, as well as the headquarters of the Navy, have great trust in someone.
They don't blame someone for a small matter or a small misunderstanding. After all, the Russian arms industry has been able to develop from a muddy state to today. It would never have been possible without someone's help.
In the past two years, Mawei alone has negotiated more than 30 billion US dollars in business. And the profits are quite lucrative, not the kind of small profits and quick turnover.
"That's it, it's the same as what I said before I left. Said the shipyard, the lowest price quoted. And the EU countries, almost all of them are around 29.5 billion US dollars. Apparently in terms of price, they have all passed the gas ahead of schedule. Ma Wei calmly replied on the phone.
Many of the details, as he had predicted, were incomparably accurate. This is one of the reasons why the Russian Ministry of Defense, the headquarters of the Russian Navy, unconditionally trusts Mavi.
"So now, how are we going to fight for it? Or rather, forget it, and don't play with them. ”
