China and Saudi Arabia negotiated for the first time, but in the end, the differences between the two sides were too great to make any progress.

Of course, both sides also know each other's bottom line, which is more conducive to the next day's negotiations.

The visit of the Chinese delegation to Saudi Arabia is a very secret matter, and Saudi Arabia does not want the outside world to know, and the Chinese side also thinks the same. In the air base, the Chinese delegation is also heavily guarded, even the people in the base are not allowed to contact the Chinese, and all the guards are members of the king's special guard.

"Xiao Liu, this negotiation seems to be too far from our expectations!" Qi Hao said to Liu Yijiu with some dejected eyes.

The Saudi side knows that the Chinese counter-espionage and anti-eavesdropping methods are clever, and it has not arranged surveillance personnel and eavesdropping equipment in the area where the Chinese delegation stays.

Qi Hao has been thinking about the first round of confrontation between the two sides since the end of the negotiations.

Basically, it was a confrontation between Liu Yijiu and Sultan, and the others had no chance to participate in it at all.

"Yes, Director Liu, our plan is only seven days in Saudi Arabia. If the time is too long, it will inevitably let the Americans in Saudi Arabia hear the rumors......" Lu Chengfeng, director of the Aerospace Science and Technology Commission, is also like this.

Liu Yijiu's threat, they naturally heard it very clearly.

This Dongfeng-3 missile contract can completely save the entire space system, and for Lu Chengfeng, this order absolutely cannot allow any mistakes.

Otherwise, he, the big man of the space system, would not have stepped out in person. And he is also the deputy head of the entire delegation after Liu Yijiu. The negotiation team this time is definitely a very luxurious lineup, and it is basically the backbone of each system. Politically competent, highly conscious, and professionally skilled.

"Are you worried that this order will go wrong?" For the first round of confrontation, the two sides could talk about it and broke up unhappily, and the entire Chinese delegation sighed, but Liu Yijiu did not react at all.

It's no different from ordinary people.

"There's nothing to worry about. In addition to China, is there still a place for Saudi Arabia to purchase such strategic missiles? I've been emphasizing this issue all along, and these local tyrants in Saudi Arabia know much more about this matter than we do. I know you're worried about losing this order. For the entire military-industrial system, a huge opportunity was missed. Saudi Arabia has seized on our mentality of gaining and losing, so it can take this opportunity to hope that we will give up exports to Iran. Liu Yijiu couldn't understand why these bigwigs knew that Saudi Arabia was just talking and really giving up. They couldn't do it, and they still cared about it.

"Director Liu, you can't say that. Iran's arms procurement is mainly some weapons and equipment from the Ninth Academy system. But in other systems. There is no way to get a piece of the pie at all...... "The people in the delegation know a little about the transaction between the Ninth Academy and Iran, and the reason why the Ninth Court has sufficient funds is that it has a large order from Iran.

There doesn't seem to be much opportunity for other arms exports in Iran.

It should be cost-effective to abandon Iran's arms sales in exchange for large orders from Saudi Arabia and its allies.

Liu Yijiu glanced meaningfully at the representative of the Fifth Machine Department, the people sent by Liu Qingshan always seemed to like to go against him.

But I saw other people look the same way. Naturally, I knew in my heart that these guys couldn't think about that long-term at all. And their status is not enough to have access to the top secrets and the strategy this time.

"I know what's going on in people's minds. In any case, Iran's arms sales cannot be stopped. While we are here now, the other side may have begun to sign a large amount of conventional weapons purchase agreements, including J-8-2, J-7, 203 howitzers, 130 rocket artillery, 59 tanks, 69-2 tanks, 63 modified armored personnel carriers, and even Type 77 automatic rifles and other light and heavy equipment...... The contract value is about three billion US dollars......" Liu Yijiu immediately threw out a sentence that stunned everyone.

Others simply did not expect that there would be a delegation in the country that was negotiating in Iran at the same time!

"Don't be unconvinced, this is not a domestic delegation, but a relatively reliable international broker." Liu Yijiu told everyone not to change his attitude. However, he no longer has the same rough work style as before, but explains to everyone, "This Saudi Arabia's purchase of Dongfeng-3 can be said to be a certainty, not to say anything else, nor to say their source." Because this is the will of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. ”

Saudi Arabia's procurement of strategic missiles was not proposed by military generals, and Liu Yijiu also explained this to the officials of the Central Military Commission, but by King Fahd himself, and demanded that his procurement officials must succeed in procurement.

This is where the benefits of kingship lie, especially the fact that King Fahd has a very strong control over the entire kingdom.

Most of the positions of real power in the country are basically held by members of the royal family.

Otherwise, the military would not have been so confident that Liu Yijiu would have kidnapped and sold conventional weapons and equipment on the contract, although the price of each missile is not sky-high, and there is no limit on the quantity, but Liu Yijiu asked for the amount in the contract.

For such a thing, the entire top level of the country, as well as the top of the military, is happy to see it. The military has received a large amount of funds for the upgrading and development of the military industrial system, equivalent to tens of billions of yuan, and military spending for several years. At the same time, the state has obtained several times the total foreign exchange reserves, which is a huge boost to China's reform and opening up.

As for the members of the negotiation team, Liu Yijiu did not explain in too much detail.

After explaining, he hugged Li Rui back to his room and went to sleep, leaving others to discuss and prepare the details of the negotiation the next night.

If the Saudi side continues to threaten the contract, the negotiations are likely to not go ahead, but Prince Bandar has already raised the hope that he can first discuss the details of the after-sales and logistics support of the Dongfeng-3 missile, and even the issue of secrecy has been raised to negotiate.

The Chinese side must be ready before the second round of negotiations begins.

Prince Sultan and Prince Bandar flew back to Riyadh by helicopter after the first round of negotiations stalemate, where they needed to report back to King Fahd.

Fahd also attaches great importance to this matter, and he has been paying attention to it since the Chinese delegation set off, and if it were not for the Americans watching too closely, he would have wanted to negotiate with the Chinese delegation in person. It really doesn't work, and directly smashes the Chinese with the American knife that the Chinese urgently need.

However, the news that Sultan reported back made him a little surprised.

"The Chinese are so strong in this matter?" King Fahd did not expect that it was obviously they who seized the weakness of the Chinese.

Sultan nodded.

Seeing that the king's brows were tightly furrowed, Bandar hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, from the very beginning, I focused on the young man from the Chinese negotiating team. Our Pakistani brothers told us that this young man has a very deep background and extraordinary influence in China. At first, I thought he was the descendant of some high-ranking Chinese official, but from my first trip to China, I learned that he had won everything for himself. This is a young Chinese man whose abilities far exceed what we realize. He is a technical engineer who is proficient in mechanics, weapons design, materials, electronics, computers, and many other fields...... At the same time, he is also a very good negotiator, and most of the large orders for China's arms exports, and even weapons technology exports, are obtained by him. The Soviets even gave him a two-million-dollar gift to meet him......"

Liu Yijiu's impression on Bandar was too deep.

Especially during his trip to China, the people he came into contact with were basically Liu Yijiu's first sight.

After coming back, he focused on introducing Liu Yijiu to Prince Sultan and the king, but they didn't pay attention to it at all.

"So, this time the Chinese delegation, he is still in charge? Isn't he just the deputy head of the regiment? King Fahd asked, somewhat puzzled.

Sultan suddenly sighed, "This is the cleverness of the Chinese, people who do not know the inside story, think that this is just a descendant of a high-ranking Chinese official to gild." Tonight's negotiations were indeed dominated by him, and no one on the Chinese side, including the head of their delegation, refuted his words, whether they were right or wrong. Chinese discipline in negotiations, the whole world knows ......"

King Fahd did not have a lot of contact with Chinese, but he had heard a lot of jokes about the Chinese during international negotiations.

But these jokes are basically made up by the outside world Chinese.

After all, in the process of negotiation, the Chinese will speak according to their positions. In general, the experts sent by China tend to be of the lowest status. In each negotiation, the relevant personnel must get the nod and consent of the person in charge of the negotiation......

"Saddam's request, can't we help fulfill it? You know, it's not just to help our allies, it's to resist Khomeini's bastard from exporting his religious revolution! Hearing Sultan's words, the king couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Or should I meet this young man in person? ”

"Your Majesty, you really should have some contact with this young man." Only when the king saw the power of Liu Yijiu, a young man, would he give up those unrealistic ideas.

"Then make arrangements and bring him to the palace tomorrow night." King Fahd knew that if he did not deal with the young people who were mainly responsible in China, he would not want to achieve his goal. (To be continued.) )
