Just when Meng Jianye's gift caused an uproar in China, Vice Admiral Nachai, who was in charge of equipment procurement in the naval headquarters in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, finally welcomed his long-awaited German guest.

Carl Sternberg, President of the Military Trade Department of the Blom-Foss Shipbuilding Group.

For this deal, it is not only Thailand that is eager to conclude, but also the German Blom-Fuchs shipbuilding group, because for them, the two MEKO-class frigates are simply a windfall from the sky.

In order to successfully sell the "Medina" class frigates to Thailand, France used its strong influence in the European Community to exert considerable political pressure on Germany, forcing Germany to make a commitment not to take the initiative to participate in the bidding for Thailand's frigates.

However, if Germany does not take the initiative to participate, it does not mean that Thailand will not accept it if it takes the initiative to come to the door, not to mention that even if France has a great influence in the European Community, Germany as the economic core is not bad, Thailand takes the initiative not to want your French frigates, and switched to Germany, you France still dare to say three or four, Germany's cat's paws are not long in vain, and they can be slapped in the face in minutes.

Because of this, Germany not only accepted Thailand's invitation with great arrogance, but also quickly sent a negotiation team with Sternberg as the core to Thailand to make contacts.

France was angry when it looked at it from the side, and wanted to scratch Germany's cat face with chicken paws, but just as Germany had predicted, France was unreasonable, and the economy was even worse than Germany's, so it didn't dare to greet Germany's face when it was raised.

So Germany stepped on the heads of the French and turned the Thai frigate project into a unique business.

Because of this, the Germans' offer was also very strong, with a unit price of 35 million US dollars, which was the worst basic type, and it did not guarantee the weapons and equipment and personnel training on the ship.

If you upgrade the performance first, no problem, there are a total of three gears, six models, each model in turn plus 20 million to 60 million US dollars, until the strongest extreme luxury version of the 320 million US dollars capped, only you can't think of it, no German Blom-Fuchs shipbuilding group can't do it.

How's that going? Familiar with the routine, right?

Decades later, German cars in China are playing this routine, with a matryoshka face, rising prices, and no negotiation for you.

Even the Chinese people who grew up in the Internet era and whose educational qualifications have risen by N grades can't play the tough routines of the big German brands, and they have to sit on the hood and cry at every turn to maintain their legitimate rights and interests.

So as soon as the two sides met, within two rounds, he knelt down, no way, it was really the Germans who gave too many choices, so he was dazzled.

That's not all, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to use one of them as a ship, and Sternberg directly took out eighteen different decoration styles of ship interior renderings, which made Na guess that the two pairs of eyes given by his father and mother were too few, at least seven or eight pairs were about the same.

There were too many choices, and it involved the crown prince and the royal family, so although the crown prince was valued by the royal family during his sea patrol and was about to be reused, he still did not dare to trespass, so he could only euphemistically inform Stenborough that the crown prince needed to make a personal decision, and the negotiation ended.

Sternberg was patient with this, or rather confident that he was more patient than any other arms dealer of his kind.

Like the 209-class submarines, the German MEKO-class frigates are also the fist products of the world, which can be called the Gemini constellation of the German Navy's equipment export.

Since the successful development at the end of the seventies, as many as 15 ships have been sold, and its brilliant performance is dwarfed by even the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union.

If it weren't for France, which fancy the growth potential of naval equipment in Southeast Asia, Sternberg would not have bothered to take care of the order of the two ships, and would have sent a manager at will.

Because of this, Sternborough is very confident, so after leaving the Thai Navy Command, he went to Bangkok to do a lively nightclub, I heard that there are people there (changing) demon performances, Sternborough has long wanted to use a critical eye to appreciate it, since there is this opportunity, for the sake of art, let alone to see, even if it is dedicated?

……

The crown prince had a headache, and like that guess, in the face of a large number of models given by the Germans, he was directly dazzled, and he wanted to buy the top version for 320 million dollars.

However, the main battleship is not a luxury car after all, the crown prince dares to ask for it, and His Majesty the king can pull it over, the royal family is rich, but the money is not blown by the wind, so His Royal Highness the crown prince can only lament that he is too poor, and at the same time hand over a few medium and low-end models to Meng Jianye and let him help the staff officers.

Looking at the "matryoshka" warship of the Germans, Meng Jianye sighed quite a lot, who said that the Germans were rigid, absolutely who was in a hurry. People are shrewd, if you don't believe it, then look at Volkswagen, how many people in the world can sell "nesting dolls" to the world's top 500?

The MEKO-class frigate is the public in the field of military trade, the two are the same, the routine is exactly the same, but the effect is surprisingly good, if Meng Jianye remembers correctly, the Germans have been using the routine of the MEKO-class frigate until the 10s of the 21st century, which shows how slippery people play with "matryoshka".

"That's it!"

Meng Jianye thought about it for a while, so he randomly ordered a model, the crown prince looked at it, picked up the introduction of that model and flipped through it, looked at the corresponding cabin decoration, and frowned: "Is the decoration of this model too simple." ”

"Simple but not simple, some things, not accidental watches, just like a watch, others bring a watch worth a million, and you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even the most ordinary watch, is worth more than a million......"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stunned when he heard this, and immediately chewed Meng Jianye's poisonous chicken soup, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a teachable face: "Mr. Meng, this sentence instantly makes me feel empowered, you are right, I am the crown prince of Thailand, the future king, my things are priceless, why do you need to decorate too much!"

When he said this, the crown prince was full of pride, and he saw that the waiters on his side were guarding a five-body throw, and one of the elderly waiters knelt on his knees, crying bitterly and calling the crown prince wise and a blessing for Thailand.

In fact, he was relieved in his heart, the crown prince finally chose a cheap one, if he insisted on the top match, how could he explain it to His Majesty the King.
