Chapter 116: Blackmail Without Fear

"Really? Is MTU determined to be unacceptable? Gu Xinyu's tone was the same as before, and he asked Klaus Niedermeier.

"That's right," I don't know why, Gu Xinyu's reaction made Niedermeier feel a little bad, but as a veteran of negotiations, of course, he couldn't back down because of such a little feeling in his heart, and nodded: "There was a mistake in our cost accounting before, so we had to adjust the intention determined before, for which MTU is very sorry and regretful." ”

There is an error in cost accounting, which is an extremely ridiculous statement, even a small business with an annual output value of only a few million German marks is unlikely to make such a ridiculous mistake, let alone a giant of the level of MTU, this is simply a clumsy excuse, Klaus Niedermeier said this clearly to tell the Chinese negotiators: this is our conditions, if you do not agree to our conditions, everyone will break up.

Klaus Niedermeier has good enough reasons to keep himself in the mood: although the Chinese have cooperated with the American Cummins Group to produce Cummins B series diesel engines under license, the B series diesel engines are civilian medium-sized diesel engines, with a displacement of 3.9 liters and 5.9 liters, and according to different market needs, the power coverage ranges from 80KW to 130KW, mainly used for light and medium-duty trucks, buses and city buses;

Chinese are discussing cooperation with the Austrian Steyr Group to introduce Steyr's heavy truck technology and the corresponding WD615 diesel engine as power, but the maximum power coverage of WD615 diesel engine is only from 176KW to 280KW, just right to form a high and low match with Cummins B series.

Neither the Cummins B series nor the Steyr WD615 can be used as a power system for military armored vehicles. However, the MTU396-03 series diesel engine is completely fine. The power coverage of this series of diesel engines extends from 345KW to 1920KW (MTU will certainly not transfer the 1920KW diesel engine technology to the Chinese. And with the existing technical conditions of the Chinese, they do not have the corresponding production equipment and technical capabilities), except for MTU, no other country enterprises will provide them Chinese with such a high-power, technologically advanced power system, which means that no enterprise can pose a threat to MTU, so Klaus Niedermeier is there, not at all worried that the Chinese will not agree to their conditions, he is very clear that the Chinese introduce the purpose of MTU's high-power diesel engine. The purpose is military use.

Gu Xinyu finally frowned.

The Germans' fearlessness and rebellion gave him a headache, and also made him feel a deep helplessness: it is precisely because we do not have that the Germans dare to blackmail and blackmail so fearlessly, and if we become strong, how can the Germans dare to open their mouths so loudly? The question is......

What to do?

It is useless to say that everything else, since the Germans have already made a move, and the MTU396-03 series diesel engine is a diesel engine urgently needed for our national defense construction and economic development, then in the end there is only one problem: how to resolve the tricks of the Germans?

Chen Geng couldn't help but look at Gu Xinyu: I heard that Gu Xinyu has a nickname called "fox", I don't know what this cunning negotiator will do next?

Right away. He knew what Gu Xinyu did......

Raising his wrist and looking at the time, Gu Xinyu said happily: "It's already noon." Mr. Niedermeier, why don't we take a break, eat something, and then continue in the afternoon?" ”

"Okay." Although he knew that this was the other party's deliberate delay, Klaus Niedermeier still agreed bitterly, he didn't care whether the Chinese were adopting delaying tactics, what was the use of delaying in the face of absolute strength, and finally didn't he still have to agree to MTU's conditions?

………………

The preoccupied Chinese negotiators had just walked into the lounge, and before the door was closed, Cao Yi, the director of Factory 616, couldn't help but scold: "Damn Germans, how can they be so untrustworthy? It's been said before, how can they go back on their word? ”

Not only is Cao Yi's face red and his neck thick, but several newcomers who have no experience in foreign negotiations are also angry, and their chests are rising and falling, obviously because they are not lightly angered by MTU's approach.

Thanks to the reform and opening up, we have more and more understanding of foreign countries through various channels, but the information has caused serious distortion in the process of dissemination, which has caused foreigners, especially foreigners in developed countries in Europe and the United States, to be kind, friendly and helpful, before MTU made it clear that it is willing to provide us with all the technology and technology of MTU396-03 series diesel engines, which has laid this understanding, but now, MTU's approach is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to all those who have been extremely optimistic about the negotiations.

As a small translator who has no sense of existence most of the time, Chen Geng didn't react, but sighed vigorously in his heart: a group of naΓ―ve children, you know, this is the most normal way of international communication, no, in fact, MTU's approach can even be called "friendly" - international exchanges are so cold and ruthless.

Standing next to Chen Geng is Huang Xuejun, the chief of the technical section from Hongdu Machinery Factory, the two of them have a good understanding of each other a few days ago, and he is also very angry about the Germans' reversal, but seeing Chen Geng's calm expression, Huang Xuejun was immediately puzzled: "Comrade Xiao Chen, why are you ......?"

"That's not supposed to be my reaction, right?" Chen Geng smiled and added what Huang Xuejun didn't finish.

When chatting with Li Jianguo at the Ministry of National Defense before, Chen Geng already knew that the comrades of Hongdu Machinery Factory were preparing to develop a series of large-scale diesel generator sets based on the MTU396-03 series diesel engines, but he never expected that it would be such a coincidence, and he actually had a good chat with Huang Xuejun, who came to negotiate with Hongdu Machinery Factory, and the two were already very familiar with each other in a few days.

"Well," Huang Xuejun nodded, and then whispered: "Look at everyone's ......"

Chen Geng explained softly: "I have been interning in the Poussin project team for more than a year, so I ......."

This can understand that Chen Geng's reaction is so bland, dare to feel that he has long understood the Germans. Huang Xuejun suddenly realized! After a moment's hesitation, he whispered, "They...... Is it all like this? ”

"You say the Germans?"

"Hmm." Huang Xuejun nodded, Klaus Niedermeier's approach had brought great trouble to Huang Xuejun's thinking and understanding, and he couldn't wait to get confidence from Chen Geng that his three pipes would not waver.

It's a pity that Chen Geng's answer disappointed him, and with a smile, Chen Geng said: "Brother Huang, have you forgotten, our ancestors have long said that the world is as black as a crow, and this is the case." ”

"How so?" Huang Xuejun's expression looked extremely disappointed.

"There's nothing strange about this," Chen Geng said casually: "The purpose of capitalism is to make money, since the ultimate goal of people is to make money, if you talk to them about ideals and friendship, isn't that playing the piano to the cow?" Foreigners themselves also have a saying, called 'friendship is friendship, business is business', which means that even if two people are very, very good friends and have very, very good personal friendships, if they do business together, they will come how they should come, and they will never take care of each other because they are their friends. ”

"Really?" Huang Xuejun's eyes widened in disbelief.

Chen Geng felt as if he had heard the sound of heartbreak.

"Head Gu has been abroad many times, you can ask him if he is like this."

Huang Xuejun's eyes dimmed instantly, Chen Geng knew that another heart full of expectations for foreign countries was broken, but ...... How similar is the current Huang Xuejun to his original self? Didn't I think stupidly that as long as I worked hard and studied hard, I would definitely be able to stand out from the favor of the Wolfsburg executives, and then realize my life dream step by step, but what about the final result? Hehe......

Just when Chen Geng was pondering how to comfort Huang Xuejun, Gu Xinyu's stern gaze swept over and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Huang Xuejun, Comrade Chen Geng, what are you two talking about?" ”

"We ......"

Huang Xuejun's face turned red, he felt a little ashamed, and just about to admit his mistake, Chen Geng rushed in front of him and said, "We are discussing how to resolve the conspiracy of the Germans. ”

"Oh? Are you really talking about this? Gu Xinyu was laughed at Chen Geng's answer, the conversation between Chen Geng and Huang Xuejun just now did not hide from his ears, his original purpose was just to warn these two guys a little, but he didn't expect these two guys to dare to lie in front of him, and he was a little annoyed for a while: "Then what good way did you discuss?" Speak it up and tell everyone. ”

I was killed by you! Huang Xuejun looked at Chen Geng with a wry smile, and was about to speak, but he was once again grabbed by Chen Geng. Chen Geng waved his hand and said "modestly": "It can't be said to be a method, it's just an idea." ”

"It's okay to think about it, say it and listen to it." Gu Xinyu didn't let Chen Geng go at all: I'll see what moths you can toss.

"Yes, my thinking is, since MTU can use their advantage to blackmail us, why can't we use our advantage in turn......"

Before Chen Geng finished speaking, everyone was already laughing: "Advantage? What advantages do we have? ”

"That's it, how come I don't know what advantage we have?"

"Hehehe......"

In the face of these ridicules, Chen Geng was unmoved, but continued to look at Gu Xinyu. (To be continued.) )
