503 The buyer didn't speak, but the seller was too expensive
"1,650,000 dollars!" When they heard the price quoted by Liu Yijiu, everyone was stunned.
"This, this ......" Wang Kai didn't expect that Liu Yijiu was so black, no wonder he was stopped by Liu Yijiu when he was about to make an offer at the beginning.
The price was completely unexpected.
The production price of a C801 is only a little more than one million, and Liu Yijiu directly quoted such a high price, how can they not be shocked.
Canon was also stunned, not because the price was too high, but because it was much lower than the French offer. A frigate, no matter how much it costs, is worth millions of dollars, and if you can hit one for each one, or two hits, the hit rate of 50 percent is also amazing.
In particular, in order to avoid the involvement of large warships supporting Iraqi countries, their stockpiles of anti-ship missiles are increasing in greater numbers.
In this world, many times, it is not possible to buy advanced weapons and equipment with money.
The French quoted more than two million US dollars, and did not show them the actual combat results, and the Chinese did not say a word, and directly got the target ship to show them, showing such performance and sincerity, which has already made them very satisfied.
They originally thought that Liu Yijiu, this kid, would open his mouth widely.
As a result, only such a price was quoted.
The sky-high asking price, the landing to pay back, this price, can still be negotiated.
After hearing this number, Canon immediately frowned and said, "Director Liu, this price is really beyond our ability to bear, especially since we are purchasing in large quantities ......."
"It is because of your large-scale purchases that we have quoted such a low price, and the French AM-39 anti-ship missile, design performance and combat performance are similar to ours, of course. We must admit that our estimate is a little worse than theirs, and what we provide you with will be the improved model of the missile that you have seen......," Liu Yijiu said with a smile.
He didn't want to scare the Iranians all at once, and more importantly, this cooperation. It is of great significance to China's military industry.
If it weren't for the fact that he would have helped the Navy Armament Department secure some scarce research funding, he would have even quoted a million dollars.
After all, the C802, with the addition of a ramjet engine, a higher speed and a range of one hundred and eighty kilometers, costs less than a million dollars.
Iran, now they have a choice, but they don't have too much money to go to war with Iraq. Western countries will sanction Iran under pressure from the United States, and the delivery of weapons and equipment they have ordered will be stopped.
Western countries are just some untrustworthy hooligans, and Khomeini knows very well that otherwise, Kanon would not have gone to China to throw money.
"Director Liu, we have been working on this project for more than ten years, and it ...... upgrade" Wu Tianhai's brows were tightly twisted together, and he said to Liu Yijiu in embarrassment. It will be difficult to make breakthroughs in a short period of time......"
"You don't have to worry about that. Since I brought it up, I naturally have to be responsible. We want to be a first-class arms seller in the world, and we can't just let Lao Maozi and the US imperialists occupy the majority of the world's arms trade, we can only sell light weapons! Liu Yijiu stopped Wu Tianhai.
This guy is just too honest.
Even if it's really not good, you can't expose that your hole cards are not!
This is simply an opportunity and excuse for the other party to bargain.
Sure enough, I heard Wu Tianhai's words. The translator next to Canon leaned into the bearded man's ear and whispered something quickly, and Canon's eyes immediately lit up, and he turned to Liu Yijiu and said with a smile: "Director Liu, we are purchasing in bulk." And, we have full confidence in your technical capabilities, but they ......"
Canon said this, looked at Wu Tianhai and the others meaningfully, and continued, "One million dollars a piece, we want fifty pieces, and we can sign a contract immediately, and similarly, all will be delivered before New Year's Day in 81, and ten pieces will be delivered first within three months!" ”
"No, Mr. Canon, if so, I don't think our cooperation on anti-ship missiles will be possible. This is a missile, not a cabbage, bargaining is allowed, but you can't joke like this......" Liu Yijiu glared coldly at Wu Tianhai beside him, and then told Kanon very seriously that this was impossible.
"Director Liu, you can't be like this, we don't want any upgraded version, we just want this! But 1.65 million US dollars, it is indeed very high, and the AM-39 missiles of the French are not much higher than this price, the important thing is that their performance is more advanced, and you yourself admit it! Kanon quit immediately.
In his mind, the cost of producing such a missile by the Chinese is estimated to be no more than 700,000 US dollars, and such a price is actually offered.
Although the performance of the C801 is advanced and the hit rate is 100%, this is only for the target ship moving with the waves, which is equivalent to a fixed target, but the battleship is different, constantly moving.
And the speed of the small warships of Iraq is quite high.
"Well, $1.5 million, if you think it's still too high, then there's really nothing to talk about. Although our two countries have a deep friendship, we can't do this loss-making business. As far as I know, the comrades of the 801 Institute spent more than 10 years developing this anti-ship missile, and hundreds of millions of R&D funds were consumed before and after. Liu Yijiu immediately shifted the topic to cost.
Wang Kai is in a daze.
He didn't expect that the lies in Liu Yijiu's mouth would come as soon as he opened his mouth, and he actually directly said that hundreds of millions of R&D funds were spent before and after.
The entire republic, even a large aircraft like the Yun-10, has only cost more than 500 million so far, and if a missile is worth hundreds of millions, isn't this looking down on the entire 801 Institute and scolding them for wasting national research funds!
Seeing Liu Yijiu's eyes, he immediately shuddered, nodded awkwardly, and kept saying yes.
He couldn't explain the situation.
To explain, hundreds of millions of dollars can't be made up casually.
"This is just the cost of research and development, let's not talk about more, let's calculate it according to 500 million yuan. Taking inflation and currency depreciation into account, even if 500 pieces are produced, the R&D cost of one piece is in the millions...... Moreover, the production cost, the control chip and many key core components are too demanding for the processing technology and production technology. Each one also costs about 3 million yuan...... "Liu Yijiu, these data come out of his mouth.
Stunned the Iranians and Pakistanis.
They were a little strange as to why the people of the 801 Institute had not spoken, and it was up to an outsider like him to speak.
"This price is really not too high. After all, we have research cooperation with the Ninth Academy, so we are very clear about all aspects...... "For the data Liu Yijiu said, Alexei deeply agreed.
These costs in China are much lower than those in the world.
The important thing is that the other party can't find any flaws at all, why Liu Yijiu knows these clearly. He didn't know either.
Alexei didn't know that even the Ninth Academy, after opening up all the research projects that cooperated with them to them, had always been two ledgers on cost accounting, and many things were accounted for according to international costs.
They can't see the internal accounts of the Nine Courtyards.
The French AM-39 anti-ship missile, they know the approximate price, but that thing is much more expensive than this.
Otherwise, the Iranians would not have come to China in search of a breakthrough.
"This. I have to contact China...... "Canon also knows that Liu Yijiu is a very strong young man. A lot of China's advanced weapons and equipment have always been kept absolutely secret, and now they can get China's most advanced tanks, the most advanced anti-aircraft missiles, the most advanced anti-armor missiles, and heavy artillery, for them. It's been very satisfying.
Anti-ship missiles, this is an unexpected surprise.
Because, they not only buy their own missiles, but also help other countries purchase them.
Cost. It can be passed on.
What's more, without Liu Yijiu, it seems that they really can't buy these missiles. In the whole of China, the Ninth Academy is the only one that has the right to operate independently.
Talking to China's precision machinery import and export company that specializes in this area may be cheaper, but it will definitely attach some political terms. No country will agree to this.
At this point, there is no longer any way to talk about it, the Iranians do not intend to continue talking, and the people of the 801 Institute have always been like fools and have not said a few words.
For them, not to mention a million and a half million dollars, even if it is half a million dollars, they will sell.
Soon after, the negotiations were over, and the 801 guest house was in poor condition, but the Iranians were still staying in it for the sake of secrecy.
In the room of the guest house, there is not even a television set or anything, which is different from the corrupt capitalist life of the United States imperialism and the West.
After Canon came back, he began to contact them in China, but Liu Yijiu was surrounded by people from the 801 Institute and couldn't do anything.
What Liu Yijiu didn't expect, after coming down, the people of 801 felt that he had gone too far, making the reputation of the entire 801 Institute bad.
This made the anger in Liu Yijiu's chest almost burn himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you think the price is high, then you can take the initiative to reduce the price. I know you think this is a bit out of our moral code, but it's in the national interest! I don't care how much your development cost is, and I don't care how much your production cost is, anyway, the opportunity is in front of you. In addition, what you said is also true, this is an 801 matter, and it should not be up to me as an outsider to decide! Liu Yijiu was very unhappy with Wang Kai's carefulness.
It is not a good thing to sell to countries that have a traditional friendship with China, and to care too much about profits.
said this way, Liu Yijiu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Iran used to follow the United States!
If it weren't for the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty, they would still be pawns of the United States. The friendship with China was only a façade.
"Look at these desks in the office yourself, and then think about the life of the comrades in the entire research institute, now the country has reformed and opened up, and the economy has developed, but the country's money is invested in infrastructure construction, should the military industry be developed? How about our navy, you know better than anyone else, and neither ......can the air force," Liu Yijiu finally slammed the door and left the conference room after Liu Yijiu said this.
The tables, chairs and benches in this conference room are all old, and these guys are still carrying forward the spirit of the socialist International......
For such a situation, Liu Yijiu naturally despised it extremely.
His words made the people of the 801 Institute speechless.
In the end, no one said that the price was too high, but told Liu Yijiu that he was solely responsible for the entire negotiation.
Because he was unhappy, Liu Yijiu did not give his golden finger to the 801, and did not propose to accelerate the development of the C802 or even the C802A anti-ship missile.
It's one thing to worry about the country's military industry, but these units are not from the Ninth Academy after all.
People are selfish.
Liu Yijiu hadn't thought about himself before, but since the situation on Nipudosan's side has changed, under the guidance of Liu Suxue, he doesn't think about himself, but also begins to think about his descendants.
Whether Situ Xue is pregnant or not, he doesn't know, because the girl doesn't tell him at all, in bed, he is under him, and Situ Xue is on top.
It's two different things with Li Rui.
This time in the 801 Institute, and even in the 541 tank base, these people and these things changed some of the thoughts in his heart.
He is not a god and cannot give everything to himself selflessly.
Just like Liu Suzhi, isn't there still a lot of things left abroad to prepare for him?
Nor can he completely and radically change the whole country.
The only thing you can do is to do your own thing.
Other units or something, just let them do it themselves.
"Director Liu, about the technical research ...... on ships" Lin Kang was a little surprised by Liu Yijiu's change, the 801 Institute gave Liu Yijiu the right to negotiate, but Liu Yijiu handed over the negotiation to the 801 Institute and the Admiralty, and he himself had to go back to Daba Mountain first.
"That's a matter for the Admiralty. Our Ninth Courtyard is still a mess of rotten things! What's more, how could I, a small deputy regimental level, worry about these things! Liu Yijiu said excitedly.
The bigwigs above are indeed good to him, but he, Liu Yijiu, did not seek any personal interests for himself, and now that he thinks about it, he feels that it is not worth it.
Although the Ninth Academy has not reached the national level or the ministerial level, it is only a division-level unit, but Liu Yijiu has not reached that position now.
With the income of migrant workers, but with the heart of the country, they have to deal with those messy people, just like the reform of 541.
As long as it's not a matter of his subordinate unit, everything has nothing to do with him! (To be continued......)
