Chapter 753: Even the chicken and the egg
The power of the video was huge, and after personally verifying the technical level of Runhua Industry and the level of China's economic development, more than 20 experts, engineers and high-level technical workers of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau expressed their desire to go to Runhua Industry.

"Andrey, thank you for your help." Chen Geng was very happy about this result, and at the same time knew that Andre had definitely made a lot of effort in it.
"You're welcome, we're friends," Andrei Shamanov said, waving his hand: "This is all as it should be, and it is in the interests of the Soviet Union that the NK-8 engine will be put into production as soon as possible." ”
"That's right," Chen Geng nodded approvingly, and then said, "I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with. ”
"You say." Andrei Shamanov said happily.
"What is your relationship with Siberian Aluminium?"
"Would you like to meet someone from Siberian Aluminium?" Andrei Shamanov understood what Chen Geng meant, for Andrei Shamanov, Chen Geng's request is nothing at all, as the capital of Samara Oblast, Samara City has only more than 1.2 million people, and these more than 1.2 million people are basically concentrated in several large state-owned enterprises such as the Kuznetsov Industrial Complex, Siberian Aluminum Group, and Samara Steel Foundry. He nodded and said: "This is easy to say, in this way, I am good friends with Deputy General Manager Sandwich of Siberian Aluminum Group, and I can introduce him to you." ”
Deputy General Director of Siberian Aluminium? Chen Geng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, brother, you have helped me a lot." ”
"You're welcome, we're friends." Andrei Shamanov said, but his eyes couldn't help but skim at the bottle of wine that Chen Geng brought to him, which is said to be used only at Chinese state banquets: the wine box seems to have been opened?

"Mr. Chen, do you want to see me?" Sandwich pursed his lips and looked at Chen Geng expectantly: "How much aluminum are you going to import from our group?" ”
Siberian Aluminium is the largest aluminium group in the Soviet Union, 30% of the aluminum required for military and civil aviation aircraft in the Soviet Union is supplied by Siberian Aluminum, with more than 40 alloys production technology, in the Soviet aviation industry has a decisive weight.
However, the Siberian Aluminium Group has not had a good time during this period, although the Soviet economy has stagnated, the operating rate of the Siberian Aluminium Group has been less than 40% of the early 80s, and at its peak the Siberian Aluminium Group was second only to the Soviet oil industry, but now, they have not paid wages to their workers for three months.
After finding out that this friend was actually the chairman of Runhua Industrial, Sandwich immediately started his own small calculation: This is a big customer, if he can win Runhua Industrial, he will have a lot of introduction fees for himself, right?
Are you in such a hurry? Chen Geng looked at Sandwich with some surprise, shouldn't everyone discuss this matter after greeting and being polite?
Waving his hand, he said: "No, no, Mr. Sandwich, I think you have misunderstood, Runhua Industry does not plan to import aluminum from Siberian Aluminum Group for the time being. ”
Don't import aluminum? Sandwich suddenly looked disappointed: Why don't you import aluminum to me?
"Although we don't plan to import aluminum from your company, we still have a lot of places to cooperate," Chen Geng said, looking at Sandwich, "Mr. Sandwich, you are Andre's friend, I will say some things directly." ”
"You say." Sandwich nodded.
"Siberian Aluminium was one of the main suppliers of aluminum alloys for civil aircraft in the Soviet Union, right?"
"That's right," said Sandevich, a proud face, of course, he had enough reasons to be proud: "Siberian Aluminium Group supplied 60% of the aluminum alloy materials for Soviet civil aircraft. ”
"Therefore, we would like to obtain the formulation and production process of the relevant aluminum alloy materials from your company."
"Why?" Sandwich was a little strange: "Your country can produce aviation aluminum on its own, right?" ”
He couldn't understand why he came to the Soviet Union when the Chinese themselves could produce aviation aluminum for airplanes?
Chen Geng nodded: "We can produce some aviation aluminum, but there is still a gap in some high-strength aluminum, such as aluminum alloy materials that meet the main stressed parts of aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 150 tons......"
"It can't be!"
Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Sandwich had already realized what Chen Geng wanted, and his face suddenly changed: "Mr. Chen, I tell you very clearly, we will not sell these things......"
Why buy aluminum alloy formulas from Siberian Aluminium? It's not that China can't produce aluminum alloy materials for aircraft.
This is the helplessness of the metal industry of the Republic, we can produce aluminum alloy materials for aircraft, this is true, but in some high-strength aluminum alloy materials we are still beyond our reach, for example, in some rumors about the Y-10, you must have heard that the strength of some core stressed parts of the Y-10 aircraft in the test flight was not enough, and there was a serious deformation problem after the test flight.
Compared with the Soviet Union, although our country is able to produce aviation aluminum, there is still a big gap between us and the Soviet Union in terms of some high-strength aviation aluminum alloys.
Sandwich knew this well, so he firmly refused.
"Mr. Sandwich, I think you've made a mistake." The smile on Chen Geng's face remained unchanged.
"What?"
"I'm buying these technical materials from you, not from Siberian Aluminum Group," looking at Sandwich, Chen Geng said slowly: "If you can help me get the information I want, I can pay you $50,000." ”
$50,000?!
Sandwich swallowed hard.
If the $50,000 is for Siberian Aluminum, of course, it's nothing, but if it's for Sandwich personally, it's amazing, it's a full $50,000.
Do you want to sell these materials to the Chinese? Sandwich didn't dwell on it for too long, and soon made up his mind: sell! Why not buy it?
As the situation in the Soviet Union deteriorated day by day, the corruption situation within the Soviet Union has also reached a shocking level, not to mention the Soviet officials, let's just say that within the Siberian Aluminum Group, corruption and corruption are not to mention, reselling and stealing finished aluminum, and doing things in raw materials is simply not too much, in a word, after realizing that the Soviet ship has begun to enter a large number of water and is likely to capsize, everyone began to desperately make money for themselves.
"$50,000 is too little," Sandwich raised his head, looked at Chen Geng and said in a low voice: "If I want to get these materials, I need to get through a lot of links, even if I am the deputy general manager of the group, it will cost a lot of money......"
Chen Geng nodded understandingly: "60,000 US dollars." ”
That's $10,000 more? Sandwich's heart jumped wildly: I made an extra $10,000 just by talking about my difficulties, and if I held on a little longer, wouldn't it......
It's just that before Sandwich could speak, Chen Geng's next words made him completely dispel his luck: "Mr. Sandwich, I bet that no one will offer a higher price than $60,000, if you are not satisfied with this price, then I can only go to other people to help, that is the result that none of us want to see, do you say?" ”
Siberian Aluminum Group has more than one deputy general manager, you don't want to ask for the $60,000, some people do.
Sandwich, who understood Chen Geng's plan, immediately made up his mind: The $60,000 is mine, and no one else must know the news!
"Okay, $60,000 is $60,000," Sandwich agreed: "That's it!" Three days later, one hand will pay and the other hand will be delivered. ”
"Happy!" Chen Geng agreed: "In addition, Mr. Sandwich, let me remind you that if this cooperation is pleasant, we will have more cooperation projects in the future, you will not do anything in this cooperation, right?" ”
Sandwich was stunned, and then quickly shook his head: "No, of course not." ”
He really planned to do something in that information just now, but Chen Geng's words made a thought suddenly pop up in Sandwich's heart, and as soon as this thought came up, he couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately asked Chen Geng: "Chen, if I can find aviation aluminum at a low enough price, are you interested?" ”
This guy is smart enough to know right away, huh? Chen Geng immediately asked, "Low enough?" How low? ”
"Half the market price!"
"It's too high!" Chen Genghao said without hesitation.
Sandwich opened his mouth, he knew what this guy was thinking, nothing more than to find a way to pull aluminum out of the Siberian Aluminum Group, and then sell it to himself, but compared with the regular channels, the cost of this batch of aluminum is almost equal to nothing, and the money from selling aluminum is considered to be finished by a few people, as for what to do with this batch of aluminum on the account, they have countless ways to get it......
Chen Geng refused, but Sandwich was really not angry but happy.
Why, Chen Geng is disgusted with the high price, not not, that is, if the price can satisfy Chen Geng, he will ask for it. Knowing this, Sandwich was in ecstasy, and immediately said: "If you think half price is too high, how about 4 percent?" ”
Chen Geng sighed and said, "Mr. Sandwich, let me tell you the truth, like this case, we generally buy according to the price of aluminum profiles for construction. ”
Hearing this, Sandwich's heart suddenly cooled: what is the price of civilian aluminum profiles? What is the price of special aluminum alloy materials used in civil aircraft? There is no comparison between the two at all, and the price of ordinary aluminum profiles for civil use is even less than one-tenth of that of aviation aluminum. This is only the price of ordinary aviation aluminum, if it is the kind of high-strength aviation aluminum that Chen Geng wants, then the price is not calculated by tons, but directly calculated in kilograms.
Now Chen Geng actually wants to buy aviation aluminum from his own hands at the price of ordinary civilian aluminum, that is, to buy it with less than one-tenth of the market price, what is the difference between this and robbery?
Sandwich's face turned red: "Mr. Chen, the business is not as ...... as you do"
Interrupting Sandwich's words, Chen Geng said slowly: "Mr. Sandwich, I heard that the operating rate of Siberian Aluminum Group is not enough, and it seems that all work has been stopped recently?" You should be able to see that the economic situation in the USSR was terrible and seemed to be getting worse and worse......"
The more Sandwich listened, the more confused he became, the more he listened, the more he didn't understand, and finally he got impatient: "What the hell do you want to say?" ”
"What I want to say is that you should be the only one who is working on these aviation aluminum ideas, right? This batch of inventory should not be very large, right? If you can't make a quick decision......"
I see!
Chen Geng means that there is only so much inventory, if you don't sell it, if these things are sold by others, you won't get a dime!
Sandwich's face suddenly looked ugly, I have to say, Chen Geng's words hit Sandwich's heart: Chen Geng is right, Siberian Aluminum Group now has less than 200 tons of aviation aluminum in stock, of which about 10 tons of high-strength aviation aluminum can be used as the main force structure, but he knows that more than one person has been eyeing this batch of aluminum, but we can't find a customer who can swallow this batch of aluminum, but it is certain that once such a customer appears, This batch of aluminum will not see the sun the next day.
Now sell this batch of aluminum at the price of civil aluminum, and you can still make a lot of money, but if you are sold by others, you won't be able to make a penny.
"But......" Sandwich twitched his lips twice: "This price is too low......"
Chen Geng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "That's it, 1.5 times the market price." ”
1.5 times the market price? That is, to buy this batch of aviation aluminum at 150% of the price of ordinary civil aluminum? Sandwich's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Chen, you know, this kind of thing can't be done by me alone. ”
"Of course." Chen Geng nodded and said, "You do need some people to cooperate with you, so what?" ”
"What if I could help you get the price down to 120%?"
This guy has a good calculation, hoping to get a kickback from himself, Chen Geng smiled: "That's it, based on 150%, for every 10% reduction, 3% will go to you, how about it?" ”
Sandwich licked his lips, a flash of greed in his eyes: "I want 5%. ”
"4%, no more."
"Okay, 4% is 4%, deal!"
