Chapter XXIII Negotiations are underway
"Mr. Chen, please slow down, I really can't agree to your conditions, your conditions are too high." Shiga Shinichi looked at Chen Xu, who was talking endlessly and didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and shouted loudly.
"Didn't you just say that as long as the price is reasonable, it's fine? Why can't you accept it halfway through what I said, how can I talk about it! Of course, Chen Xu knew that he was asking for a price, but bargaining was like this, if he didn't raise the price first, how could the Japanese bargain!
Shiga Shinichi's eyebrows furrowed, he took a heavy puff of cigarette before continuing: "Among the conditions you offered, I can agree to help build a chemical university in China, send professors, accept a certain number of Chinese students, and produce home appliances." But you need a full set of CNC machining machine tool production lines, as well as hundreds of finished CNC machine tools, and a complete chemical machining center, which is an industrial transfer worth tens of billions of dollars, and I can't be such a big master! ”
"Remember it's construction, not aid! These things are all exchanged for military technology by our side at a clear price, and they are not given by you Japanese for nothing! Chen Xu snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said with a stern face.
"But the technology you gave can't reach such a high value at all, and it's worth three or five billion dollars at most." Shiga Shinichi narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.
"Every piece of technology, not counting its actual research value, is worth 50 million dollars, even the military significance behind it. Thirty-nine technologies are converted into $1.95 billion, and in any case it will not be only $3.5 billion. What's more, all I need is a few production lines, for example, the production line of CNC machine tools is just a few machines, which are not worth tens of billions of dollars at all. "Chen Xu just asked for the price just now, but he is determined to win the production line of CNC machine tools, as for the comprehensive chemical center is just piggybacking, if he can empty gloves and white wolves to negotiate naturally, he will not lose money.
At this time, the Paris Coordinating Committee had already lifted the technology embargo on China, and there were no trade restrictions, and most of the high-end technology industries of Western countries, including military technology, could be sold to China, and the only condition was that China had to take the money.
And the short ten years of the honeymoon period between China and the United States happened to be the decade when China's primitive accumulation was the most unrich. I can only covet the cutting-edge technology of the West, and I want to buy it but my pocket is empty.
Chen Xu's ability is limited, he can't package all the high-tech in the West and return to China, he can only focus on the most needed technology to get back to China, and CNC machine tools are only his first goal.
The technology that Chen Xu took out was definitely not worth so much money, and the Japanese side accepted it all tantamount to making a loss-making deal, so the negotiations could not be concluded for a while and a half.
"Mr. Chen, I understand your mood to promote the backward industries in China, but the conditions you put forward are too high, far exceeding our psychological bottom line, and you must lower the standards before we can continue to talk."
Shiga Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief, lit another cigarette for himself, gritted his teeth, and said, "For the sake of the friendship between China and Japan, how about we convert the technology on your list and the military value behind it into two billion dollars?" ”
"Barter, convert it into two billion dollars in supplies!" Chen Xu said with a finger in the depths.
"Yes!" Shiga Shinichi took a sharp puff of his cigarette, nodded decisively, and replied in the affirmative.
"The Japanese side must sell these materials to us on the basis of the cost price, if the sky-high price of a CNC machine tool will cost tens of millions of dollars, then my two billion is equivalent to throwing it into the water!" Chen Xu tapped the table with his fingers and emphasized.
He understands the nature of the Japanese too well, and he likes to play intrigue in his bones, if you don't negotiate and sign a contract in advance, they will really add a zero to the price of a machine tool and sell it to you, and Chen Xu will suffer a big loss at that time.
"I can agree to this condition!"
"If the wool comes out of the sheep, and two billion dollars are exchanged for materials, your domestic companies in Japan will make a lot of money." Chen Xu exhaled deeply, picked up the whiskey on the table and took half a sip, and said with a smile after burping.
"Congratulations on the success of our negotiations, is it time to sign a contract, discuss what materials the Chinese side needs, and confirm the specific details." Shiga Shinichi turned his head with a smile on his face, and was about to order his men to get the contract text.
"Wait a minute! I didn't say I only brought submarine technology, but I still have other good things that I haven't come up with, and two billion dollars won't satisfy my appetite. Chen Xu poured himself a glass of whiskey again, and then poured half a glass to the opposite negotiation opponent, and said calmly
Chen Xu put the wine bottle on the table steadily, then reached into the inner lining of the suit, took out the A4 paper stacked into small squares, sandwiched the piece of paper between the index finger and the middle finger, and said mysteriously: "This is the list of some high-level spies of the Soviet Union lurking in Japan and the United States, all of which are around your prime minister, cabinet councils, and self-defense forces." The most important thing is that the CIA and the White House are hiding several rats in it, Mr. Shiga, how much do you think this sub-list is worth. ”
For an intelligence system, good intelligence officers can even determine the direction of a country's policy. But internal rats are often the deadliest, and a traitor can ruin a country's important decisions and influence the course of the country for decades to come.
Shiga Shinichi's eyes stared at the piece of paper in Chen Xu's hand, and his breathing suddenly became short: "How can I confirm the credibility of this list, in case it is fake!" ”
Chen Xu crossed Erlang's legs, glanced at the scenery outside the window, and said indifferently: "Full of real gold, you must already know that my country's intelligence department used this intelligence to successfully eliminate the Soviet spies lurking in the country." And the list of Soviet spies I got was not only from my country, but also from the list of Soviet spies lurking in Japan and the United States. In particular, there is a list of lurking in the United States, and after you get it, you can negotiate with the Americans in exchange for huge benefits. ”
Chen Xu was right, so Shiga Shinichi couldn't wait to grab the piece of paper immediately, if the value of the piece of paper was confirmed in other scenes, he would immediately pull out a gun and kill Chen Xu and get the piece of paper in his hand.
But now he can only refrain from it, because he can't predict if Chen Xu has anything more valuable, this person represents the Chinese side behind him, he can't kill chickens and take eggs to block the communication between China and Japan, any rash move may cause huge losses.
"This information is of great value to us, I don't know if Mr. Chen wants to exchange money or things?" Shiga Shinichi's temples were beating violently, his face flushed, and he was very excited.
"Money is just paper, what's the use of asking for it, just exchange it! Didn't I just say that I want you to build three complete CNC machine tool production lines from Japan to China? You must be unwilling to give it for the sake of technical secrecy, and you may not even sell it for money! Now that this piece of paper is here, I don't know if you Japanese are willing to agree to this condition! Chen Xu's tongue licked around the side of his mouth, revealing a greedy look.
"The CNC machine tool production line is the lifeblood of the chaebol, and even the prime minister can't call the shots!" Shiga Shinichi crushed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.
"I've heard that the Mitsubishi Group's CNC machine tools are very good! And they must also need the submarine technology just now! Chen Xu's eyes bloomed with a sly light.
Chen Xu threw out his inventory in turn, that is, one ring after another, so that the Japanese side had to go at his pace. For the Mitsubishi consortium, a CNC machine tool production line is not worth much, even if the technology is transferred to China, the loss is not high, after all, China's machine tool research and development can not be compared with Japan at all, even if you get the production line in the short term, it can only ensure self-sufficiency, will not threaten Japan's international market.
The submarine technology thrown by Chen Xu is imperative for the Mitsubishi consortium, because getting these technologies means that they can monopolize Japan's submarine manufacturing industry and get orders from the military all year round.
"Mr. Chen, admire your layout design! May I take a moment off and report back to the top management what you mean. Shiga stood up as soon as he spoke, and left the café quickly without waiting for Chen Xu's response.
