Chapter 1047: Negotiations that have reached an impasse at the beginning
Negotiations have finally begun, first of all, between the two sides at the top of the hierarchy or in general with the authorities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe main members of the delegations of both sides should attend, and Jiang Chen is no exception. This negotiation sets the tone and framework for the next negotiations, and the next negotiation process only needs to follow this framework. Although Jiang Chen was also present, the two sides were mainly in the exchange between high-level leaders, so Jiang Chen basically didn't say much, but when our leaders needed it, Jiang Chen appropriately reminded and explained. The meeting involved a lot of content, and after a while and a half could not reach a consensus, in order to seize the time and speed up the negotiation process, the two sides decided to separate the content of the talks. On the one hand, it is necessary to continue the content of the previous negotiations, of course, this is mainly a matter between the officials of the two countries. Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't interfere, and he couldn't get involved. On the other hand, it is a purely technical and purely economic negotiation, and Jiang Chen is responsible for organizing and coordinating this, of course, this is also his main job this time.
This time, both companies have sent their own elite soldiers, which can be described as menacing. However, because they had to negotiate with these two companies at the same time, and they couldn't do it together, Jiang Chen and the others could only do it at the same time with these two companies. Of course, it's not about splitting into two teams again, and coordinating the timing of both parties and doing it separately. For example, you can make an appointment with McDonnell Douglas in the morning, and you can leave it to General Dynamics in the afternoon.
Before Jiang Chen, they contacted and negotiated with the business delegation of McDonnell Douglas, and this time, in addition to Anthony, the head of the commercial department of McDonnell Douglas Company, who was familiar with Jiang Chen and them before, also came William, the vice president of marketing of their company. This is a typical figure in the management class of the United States, who has graduated from two major institutions of higher learning and the United States, and many presidents of the United States are alumni. Although he is not very old, he is doing very well in his career. Despite being many years younger than Anthony, he became Anthony's immediate boss. Therefore, Jiang Chen was very jealous of this person, not only found relevant information about this William through the relevant departments, but also deliberately analyzed and studied this person for a long time to achieve the purpose of knowing himself and the enemy.
In the hotel's business conference room, Jiang Chen and the others formally met with the McDonnell Douglas delegation. And Anthony, who was familiar with Jiang Chen, was particularly enthusiastic, only to see him smile and walk up to Jiang Chen and give Jiang Chen a hug and said, "Hey, Jiang, it's been a long time, you know, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time." ā
"Haha, Anthony, I'm afraid you're looking forward to this big project. You know, we only met yesterday. Jiang Chen teased with a smile.
"Hey, man, don't be so boring. Anthony didn't care: "You know it's official, so we have to be careful about what we say and do, so we didn't make contact." And today should be said to be the first official meeting since we have been in Bali. ā
Well, Jiang Chen could only say helplessly: "It's okay for you to say so, why should we bother with these details." So, Anthony, let's get started. ā
"Of course, I can't wait. Anthony smiled and introduced William next to him and said to Jiang Chen: "This is William, the vice president of our company in charge of this negotiation, you should have met before." ā
"Hello, Mr. William, it's a pleasure to see you again. Jiang Chen shook hands at him and said. Jiang Chen had also met William a few times before, mainly in public before, although he had taken care of him, but he didn't talk about it.
William held Jiang Chen's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to see you again." ā
"Hehe, let's get started now. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"As you wish. William said with a smile.
The two sides took their seats, and the negotiations officially began. And Jiang Chen, as the main person in charge of our side, naturally spoke first: "Okay, then let's officially start." First of all, on behalf of our people, I would like to welcome the arrival of the business delegation of the Lao Mei McDonnell Douglas Company. As for McDonnell Douglas, we are actually very familiar with it in China. Especially in recent years, McDonnell Douglas has actively expanded in the domestic market, and many domestic enterprises and departments have achieved fruitful success. We hope that in this negotiation, the two sides will be able to do the same as before, and strive to reach a consensus at an early date on the basis of the principles of mutual benefit, equality and mutual assistance. ā
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, William on the other side smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "I am very happy to be able to come to China, and I am very grateful to the staff of your country for accompanying and taking care of us during this time." We went to a lot of attractions and the views were all very beautiful. There is a big gap between what we see in your country and what we have heard, and I think those of us who go back and tell our media and people that their previous perception is wrong and biased. Our company attaches great importance to this project, so this time we have selected representatives of elites from various departments of our company to enter into in-depth discussions with you and strive to reach a contract as soon as possible. ā
Jiang Chen nodded and smiled when he heard this: "There is an old saying in our country, it is called a friend who comes from afar, and he is very happy. When it comes to friends, we are absolutely sincere. In the past, many people had misconceptions about our country, and the main reason for this misunderstanding was that they did not understand each other. We would also like to welcome your window to introduce our real situation. Let more people know about our country, and attract more people to come to our country in person. ā
"I think, yes, it's a beautiful country, and I'm sure everyone who comes here will be captivated. And my colleagues and I would like to act as a window for others to better understand your country. William replied with a smile.
"Thank you so much. Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it here, it's time to get down to business." Mr. William, Anthony, I have heard that the plan you have brought this time is no different from what we have seen before. Or do you just want us to sell F_15A/B models instead of C/D models?"
Anthony and William glanced at each other, then nodded at Jiang Chen and said, "That's right, that's right, we think that the F_15A/B model sold to you is enough to deal with the threat you are currently facing." As for the C/D model you want, we believe that according to the current training level and comprehensive support and maintenance capability of your air force, it is not enough to support the normal flight training of the C/D model, let alone fight against the enemy. ā
"No!" Jiang Chen interrupted Anthony and shook his head, "What we want is the C/D model, not the A/B model that has been in service for so many years." This is not in the interests of our Air Force, nor in the interests of our country. If you do insist on such a solution, then we may revisit your cooperation and the purchase of this model. ā
