728 Two kicks of 70 million dollars, really not expensive!
Under Liu Yijiu's speech, the bigwigs who followed Long Yaohua here on the Chinese side did not have the slightest opportunity to speak.
For them, such a scenario is simply not suitable for them to negotiate.
Long Yaohua also explained to them, and the details of the negotiation had to be done by them in the end, after all, the young Director Liu was too lazy to seriously prepare all kinds of technical materials and other things for negotiations.
Moreover, it is still a strategic framework agreement, and negotiations on various details will begin only after it has been reached.
"In addition, it is sold internationally, how many countries will sell strategic missiles so easily? In this way, we have offended not only the Soviet Union, but also the United States and the entire NATO, which have comprehensive military-technical cooperation with our country...... "Everyone knows how much pressure China has to withstand and how much risk it will take."
When Prince Bandar heard Liu Yijiu's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.
But he knows that the price of the Chinese is definitely not so high.
If 30 million US dollars can be taken, more strategic missiles can be bought from the Chinese.
"Director Liu, it's not that we haven't considered this, but we really can't ask for so much money!"
"Or?" Liu Yijiu immediately patted the table and stood up, "Your Royal Highness, do you think that national defense construction can be measured by price?" A hundred years ago, before the founding of New China, the world powers regarded China as a colony, beating up a large civilization like China, which had been inherited for 5,000 years, every once in a while, and then forcing the rotten government to cede land and pay compensation...... Japan and Russia are at war on Chinese soil...... The People's Republic of China was founded. Who of them would dare to be arrogant on our Chinese soil? What is it for? Just because we have a strong defense that can die with them! Although you Saudi Arabia have accumulated a lot of wealth on oil, are you safe? The whole of the Middle East is obviously the territory of your Arab era. Then a Jewish state emerged...... How many wars has this country, with the support of the United States, waged? What are the lives of people in Palestine now? As the largest country in the Muslim world, have you taken up your responsibilities? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yijiu paused.
The words were spoken so quickly that they didn't even go through his brain.
Even the translator is almost a little unable to keep up with his speed.
Everyone was stunned by what he said. I saw that the translator couldn't translate. Liu Yijiu didn't care about hiding, and continued directly to Prince Bandar in Arabic: "We are both Asian countries, until now. Our two countries have not even established diplomatic relations, so why are we willing to export such strategic weapons to you? It's because we don't want to see what happened to us repeated. In the same way, we want world peace to be maintained! Israel will beat whoever it wants, and it's not because no one dares to attack them! Because they have atomic bombs. There are likewise long-range missiles that deliver atomic bombs......"
Liu Yijiu's words. It is said that many members of the Saudi negotiating team led by Prince Bandar are in turmoil.
They didn't expect that young people like Liu Yijiu were thinking more about their international situation.
They didn't care about Liu Yijiu's ability to speak Arabic, but the translator was dumbfounded. After all, many of the words he translated in the past few days have changed their meanings and tone.
Immediately, he stared at Director Liu with some concern, for fear that Director Liu would settle accounts with him.
And the Saudi translator is much more calm in this.
Liu Yijiu is able to speak Arabic. That's for the best. She was able to save a lot of things.
"Cloudburst bombs, it stands to reason. It is the first conventional weapon under the atomic bomb, and everyone has seen the power of this kind of weapon, so why did you agree to export it? This is something that our government does not want. With just two tons of conventional bombs, the deterrent effect will be much reduced, and these leaders of our side can guarantee this......"
Liu Yijiu shifted the conversation to the Chinese generals.
After hearing the translator's words, they were completely dumbfounded and reminded each other before nodding their heads busily.
The cloud burst bomb is the top conventional weapon of the Chinese military.
However, they can't do anything like Liu Yijiu when negotiating prices about the international situation and national strategic security.
In the hearts of all the Chinese personnel, the idea of not being able to make enemies of Director Liu in the future arose almost at the same time.
"Seven tens of millions of dollars, compared to the priceless defense, is not expensive at all! And it's very cheap, this is not only the price of the missile, including the heavy cloud burst warhead, the conventional warhead, and all the prices of the warhead equipped with two standard equipment...... "The Arabs who saw the other party were all excited, and Director Liu loosened a little.
In order for the other party to accept the price, you have to make them feel that they are taking advantage of it.
What they said at the beginning was just to make them feel that the Chinese government and Director Liu were thinking about them, and that the interests of the countries involved would quickly make the other side react.
Sure enough, when Liu Yijiu said that this price included the matching cloud burst bombs, and also added a batch of conventional warheads, Prince Bandar immediately opened his mouth and asked Liu Yijiu, "Do these prices include the construction of after-sales missile bases and operator training and other related work?" ”
Liu Yijiu shook his head, joking, the construction of a missile base or something, but it is a large amount of money.
Immediately, instead of using Arabic, he changed to Chinese and said to the other party: "In terms of missile base construction, we are only responsible for providing technical guidance, and the same is true for personnel training, and the price does not need to be too high......
The brows of Prince Bandar and the others furrowed, but Zhou Jun, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly opened his mouth, "Logistics maintenance can be included, and the cost of each missile will increase by 300,000 US dollars......"
Liu Yijiu stared at Zhou Jun in some surprise.
Zhou Jun gave him a look that would explain after a while.
"No, it's hard for us to accept this price...... Prince Bandar shook his head very resolutely and said, "Director Liu, although you are thinking about us, and you are also under great international pressure, this price is really unacceptable. 50 million US dollars a piece, including after-sales technical knows, our purchase can be increased to 70 pieces......"
"Your Royal Highness, even if you increase to a hundred, it will be impossible for us to sell them at this price!" Liu Yijiu also behaved very firmly. "Your Royal Highness, these missiles of ours are really not like when other countries sell weapons and equipment or other transactions, at the beginning the price is very high, and then bargain, reduce the price to the original price of a few percent, that is not interesting......
Liu Yijiu's resoluteness made the Saudis and Pakistanis waver a little.
If you negotiate with other Chinese officials about this, it is impossible to say whatever price is.
Such negotiations really annoyed Prince Bandar a little.
Even when they negotiated the purchase contract for F15 fighters with the Americans in the past, the Americans were not so firm. This is completely inconsistent with the rules of negotiation.
Immediately, the negotiations could not proceed.
The venue for negotiations between the two sides is in the missile base here, but there has not been much progress.
Liu Yijiu insisted that each piece would cost $70 million, and the price was not loosened, and the Saudis began to bargain from the initial $30 million, to $50 million, and then to $55 million, 58 million, and 60 million, and then began to be no longer willing to increase the price.
"Xiao Liu, 60 million US dollars a piece, this price is far beyond our expectations, 30 times the cost price, there is no need to negotiate the contract for a little more......" Long Yaohua has not participated in the negotiations in the past few days, after all, as long as this price is slightly loosened, it is related to tens of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars!
His old man's heart is really a little unbearable to withstand the stimulation of tens of millions of dollars more in a word.
"The price is really very much in line with our expectations." Liu Yijiu admitted very calmly, "Even, it has exceeded the price in my heart!" ”
"Then why don't you accept it? Don't you hate this kind of protracted negotiation the most? "Long Yaohua is a little strange.
According to Liu Yijiu's character, if you can't talk about it, you won't talk about it, there must be some other purpose in this.
"First of all, judging from the negotiations in the past few days, the Saudi side wants to get a strategic missile like Dongfeng-3, which can be said to be regardless of the cost. If it were the United States or the Soviet Union, such a amount, regardless of whether it would be sold or not, even if it was sold, they would not get ...... if it was not tens of billions of dollars."
"We're not the United States, the Soviet Union!"
"Just because it's not, all 70 million dollars a piece is already a very good price. Even if we get ten million dollars more from them, our military-industrial system will develop a little more! Liu Yijiu emphasized.
Now is at stake in the future of the entire military-industrial system.
Otherwise, he doesn't have such good patience to grind the price with the other party like this.
Replaced by Long Yaohua and others, they agreed as early as the price of thirty or fifty million.
"I'm just worried about not going to mess up the whole deal because of this!" Long Yaohua couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I've got it." Liu Yijiu reassured Long Yaohua, "There won't be much progress in terms of price now, but we can bundle in conventional weapons." If we don't make good use of such an opportunity, how will our Chinese military industry develop? ”
Long Yaohua smiled bitterly.
Feelings Liu Yijiu consumes like this, just for this purpose.
As long as Saudi Arabia needs it, or its allies need it, it will be able to sell a lot of conventional weapons, so that the entire military-industrial system can be put on operation for a long time, so that it can be reformed for the better, and the entire military-industrial system will not be greatly affected by the impact of domestic disarmament.
