Volume 6 Chapter 620 Li Mo's Doubts
readx;
The conversation between the Somali representatives and the representatives of the military-political and military-industrial enterprises of Ukraine was filled with a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere from the very beginning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
One was in a hurry to procure, the other was anxious to make a profit, and they hit it off, coupled with the last cooperation between the two countries on missile boats, the focus of negotiations between the representatives of the two countries was on the price of arms.
"30 million for one? Oh...... No, this price is too expensive, even if Russia's Su-30 and Su-33 are only at this price, these Su-27 fighters in your country obviously cannot reach this price. As soon as Hussein heard the price quoted by Ukraine, he shook his head again and again and said.
"Judging from the data parameters of the three models of the Su-27 given by your country, your country's fighters have been in service for 20 years and have hardly been upgraded. They do not have an electronic countermeasure system, the radar computer is still an antique in the 80s in the world, and the missile used is still the R-73R, you must know that the former Soviet Union studied the Su-27 to fight the American F-15 fighter, and now all the Su-27 in your country, not to mention the F-15E that has been modified by the United States, is very different from the F-15C. ”
"The most important thing is that these fighters in your country are not new, they have been used for more than 20 years and then sold at a production cost much higher than hers, and our political axe will never agree to me doing this."
Hussein's eyes widened, and he shook his head again and again, indicating that he could not accept it. Joke, these Su-27s equipped by Ukraine can be about the same as the current Russian export Su-27SK, but in terms of electronic countermeasures systems, they are still far behind. The export price of the Su-27SK ranges from 25 million to 30 million, and it is absolutely impossible for these Su-27 and Su-27S to sell new fighters at the price of new fighters.
His understanding of the Su-27 fighter jet, although it has been made up in the past few days. It does not prevent him from analyzing and judging an old goods from more than 20 years ago and a new goods that have just been produced.
Although the export type is a simplified product from the basic type used by the team. But more than 20 years is enough time to make earth-shaking changes in the electronic components of fighter jets.
The representatives of the Ukrainian side looked a little embarrassed, and they also knew that the price quoted was too frightening. I didn't expect Hussein to have such a 'violent' reaction.
Isn't there a saying that is good, asking for a price all over the sky, and paying back the money on the ground? If you are not satisfied with the price, you can talk about it.
Kirichenko complained a little in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face, "General Hussein, you also know that the Su-27 fighters that my country has are all models used by the former Soviet army itself, and they have not been simplified at all. There is no doubt about her surname, and even after 20 years, I can guarantee that these fighters are still among the most advanced and powerful fighters in the world. Moreover, it should be clear to you that our political axe is preparing a series of reforms in the weapons of the Air Force, and some of the old aircraft will be eliminated. And the Su-27 fighter, as an advanced fighter, must be preserved. Therefore, in the next period of time, China's air force will need these fighters to defend the territorial airspace of the country. This time, it is also seen that the two countries have good cooperation experience in Uzbekistan, otherwise these Su-27 fighters will never be sold by our country......"
Both sides expressed their opinions, one asking for the other and bargaining.
An hour has passed, and the two sides have not yet negotiated, although in the end the Ukrainian political axe will reduce the price, Su-27 and Su-27S at $25 million each, and Su-27UB two-seat trainer combat type at $33 million per plane, but since the boss knows that Ukrainian weapons can be discounted, of course he is not willing to do the wrong. Although I desperately want to transport those Su-27s back immediately, I also know that the funds are not easy to come by.
The first day of negotiations ended in a hurry, and when he returned to his residence, Hussein went to Li Mo's room and scratched for a while, saying that the Ukrainian political axe did not have the slightest sincerity.
Li Mo smiled and persuaded Hussein to go back, and he was also clear about the idea of the Ukrainian political axe. Although I have had a cooperation experience with Somalia, from the perspective of a country, the more profits the better, especially when Somalia came in a hurry, first of all, it exposed the urgent need for these arms, and others naturally took a little pinch and raised the price. After all, now Somalia may be a 'rich man' in the eyes of the Ukrainian political axe.
However, Li Mo also knows that the Ukrainian political axe will never be slaughtered too ruthlessly, because in the international arms trade, most of it is still a buyer's market. In other words, the seller has a request from the buyer. This is true of the arms trade, with the exception of some politically motivated arms. Especially like this time, the Somali political axe has come up with a large amount of money to purchase arms, hundreds of millions of dollars, and no country can ignore it.
The next day's meeting was scheduled for the morning, and Li Mo did not go this time, but handed over the heavy responsibility to Hussein. However, before leaving, Li Mo gave Hussein a floor limit, and if this floor is exceeded, the order will be invalidated, and the Somali political axe will look for a seller again.
After Hussein and his party left, Li Mo took two bodyguards downstairs in a leisurely manner. The security personnel in the hotel on the political axe side naturally did not remind Li Mo after learning that he just came out to meet a friend, but stayed behind not far away.
In a café not far from the hotel, Li Mo met Nazirov, a Ukrainian arms dealer. However, he did not see Nazirov's 'owner', and only Nazirov and his two bodyguards were waiting in the café.
"Mr. Li, let me tell you that your procurement plan this time may have changed a little." Nazirov, wearing a pair of sunglasses, leaned over his head and whispered after Li Mo sat down. That cautious look is probably also afraid of being exposed to the eyes of the Ukrainian security services.
"Oh? What's with? Li Mo was shocked, he didn't get any news about this at all, and he didn't see that the Ukrainian side was perfunctory last night.
Nazirov grinned and said in a low voice, "I only know that it was the American side that put pressure on the political axe. ”
After speaking, give Li Mo a look that you know.
Li Mo frowned, before he came, he didn't think that the American political axe would be a ghost on arms purchases, which is why he went directly to Ukraine, in his thoughts, Ukraine can cooperate with China in the future, and in foreign arms sales, it should not be affected by the United States, otherwise with the vigilance and technological blockade of China by the United States, how can it sit back and watch Ukraine secretly provide some military technology to China?
"Did the political axe make any statement?" Li Mo asked. He is now a little worried about Hussein's side, and if the Ukrainian political axe is really forced by the pressure of the United States, he is afraid that he will delay Hussein perfunctorily. It is even possible that a pit was dug for Hussein to fall into.
Nazirov shook his head slightly and whispered, "Not yet." It seems that there was a meeting last night to discuss it, but I don't know the exact outcome. ”
Speaking of which, Nazirov also found it strange. He knows very well who the biggest boss behind him is, and as that person, he must know what the attitude of the Ukrainian political axe is, but before he came, he only received an order to reveal the news of the United States' intervention to Li Mo, and did not tell him more inside information. So Nazirov didn't know either.
"Mr. Li, do you know that the political axe is defending you now...... It's relatively tight, and recently the country is preparing for next year's general election, and I think it's better not to meet for the time being. So let me say sorry to you. Nazirov said suddenly. originally proposed to meet with others, but suddenly broke the contract, anyone is very unhappy, not to mention that the identity of the young man in front of him is not ordinary, if he is really angry, the consequences are very serious.
"It's okay, I want to thank you for the news you brought me." Li Mo shook his head and chuckled, not caring at all on his face.
After the two separated, Li Mo hurriedly returned to his residence, and found that Hussein had not returned, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Just when Li Mowei should go to the place where he should go for a meeting, or send someone to remind Hussein, his subordinates came in to report that Hussein had returned.
"Quick, let the Chief of Staff in." Li Mo's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said.
Seeing Hussein walking in with a happy face, Li Mo felt strange in his heart, in his thoughts, Hussein should have come back with a look of anger and scratched it.
"Boss, it worked...... We have a purchase agreement with Ukraine! As soon as Hussein came in, he said excitedly to Li Mo.
Li Mo pressed the doubts in his heart, asked Hussein to sit down, and then said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
Hussein opened his mouth, as if he felt a little thirsty, so he picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table and took a few large sips.
"Boss, the Ukrainian political axe agreed to sell Su-27 fighters to our country, and the price did not exceed the bottom line you gave."
After Hussein's description, Li Mo had a general understanding of the morning's talks. The representatives of the Ukrainian political axe who participated in the talks today, as yesterday. At first, Hussein thought that he would have to bother with words again today, but after talking for a while, Hussein found that the tone of the Ukrainian delegates seemed to be much looser.
In the face of Hussein's bargaining, although the Ukrainian representatives refuted every time, Hussein still found that the other party's negative tone was not very resolute. This made Hussein see that something was wrong, and the lion surnamed Suo opened his mouth. The purchase price of the Su-27 and Su-27S fighters is directly positioned at $12 million, and the price of the Su-27UB is $15 million. Although this price is far more than the unit price of only 5 million US dollars for the United States to purchase two Su-27s from Ukraine, this price is no different from the price of cabbage for an advanced fighter that can take off and take off and has a good basic surname.
Of course, the representatives of the Ukrainian political axe certainly disagreed, and after a series of arguments between the parties, the price finally reached a figure that was largely satisfactory to both sides.
One Su-27 and Su-27S fighter is $14 million, and one Su-27UB two-seat trainer combat type is $18 million. Hussein asked for 24 Su-27 fighters in one go, including 18 Su-27S air superiority fighters and 6 two-seat trainer fighters.
