In the car, the official named Anthony looked very enthusiastic and said familiarly: "I hope Mr. Li doesn't mind, this group of reporters is like this, and I am very annoying to them." ”
This is nothing to say, looking at Anthony's earnest face, obviously holding back something in his heart.
Li Dongcheng smiled: "I don't mind, I just hope that this cooperation can be successfully concluded." ”
Anthony nodded and said, "Of course, this is also our greatest expectation. ABC Group's various products have been tested in actual combat, and if they can be introduced, it will be a huge boost to our Indian defence capabilities. ”
At this point, Anthony paused, glanced at Li Dongcheng twice, and then said: "I want to ask Mr. Li, is your Black Mamba cruise missile also in the sales ranks?" ”
Here it comes.
Li Dongcheng secretly raised his eyebrows, and the reaction of the Indian Ministry of Defense, as Yang Tian expected, was very eager and had a great appetite.
The Sky Eye radar obviously cannot satisfy them, and the Black Mamba series of missiles is what the Indian Ministry of Defense is pursuing.
If the Black Mamba missile is deployed in India, it will immediately threaten the entire Asian country, and with the Sky Eye radar, India's air defense capability and long-range strike capability can be greatly improved.
In the past few years, India has always wanted to cooperate with Big Brother Mi and introduce Tomahawk cruise missiles or something, but Big Brother Mi has not let go of his mouth out of consideration for his own interests.
In addition, India's missile technology is also not high or low, and there are really not many missiles that can be used.
Now the Black Mamba cruise missile of the ABC group has turned out. Like a dark horse, the performance is better than that of Tomahawk cruise missiles. The Indian Ministry of Defense has long been holding back its thoughts to get it.
It is a pity that the ABC Group has never sold Black Mamba missiles to the outside world, and the Indian Ministry of Defense has not taken the initiative to come to the door without interest.
But there are always some regrets in my heart.
But who would have thought that at this turn, ABC Group would take the initiative to come to the door.
is talking about the sale of Tianyan radar, but the Indian Ministry of Defense feels that once the precedent for cooperation is opened, there is nothing to talk about.
Li Dongcheng has also thought of a countermeasure a long time ago. He said calmly: "I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate answer to this, after all, this time we are here to sell Tianyan radar, and I'm afraid the others are ......."
Anthony could see some disappointment in his eyes, but Li Dongcheng dragged his voice, which seemed to mean that there was still room for turnaround.
But Anthony is not in a hurry, anyway, there are formal talks tomorrow. It's not too late to talk about that time.
The next day's talks did not go as smoothly as expected.
For the detailed performance data of the Sky Eye radar, this is the first time that ABC Group wants to disclose it to the outside world, although there is a limit of 200 kilometers of monitoring range, but the Indian Ministry of Defense does not care too much.
The monitoring range is small, so it is enough to arrange a few units, and it is really in the middle of the war. A surveillance radar station of two hundred kilometers, absolutely enough.
This is indeed a major flaw, but it cannot hide the huge advantages of the Sky Eye radar, with accurate monitoring and strong anti-jamming ability. And Li Dongcheng also revealed that the Sky Eye radar is divided into multiple models. It can be installed on fighters, tanks, and even warships, and has a wide range of adaptations.
This is very satisfying to the Indian Ministry of Defense, which has been tinkering with the Arjun tank for several years, and a large part of it is due to the inadequacy of the radar system.
If the Sky Eye radar can be mounted on the Arjun tank, it will be a huge increase in performance.
However, the Indian Ministry of Defense quickly changed its attitude and proposed that if the Sky Eye radar was purchased, it hoped that the ABC Group could sell the Black Mamba missile, otherwise it would not be purchased.
"Damn, these Ah San definitely did it on purpose." Leaving the Ministry of National Defense, Li Dongcheng immediately scolded.
The accompanying assistant Frank also looked indignant, and said: "Do they really think that our radar can't be sold, and they dare to blackmail us, the president, if you want me to say, just don't sell it to them." ”
This Frank is a white South African, and he is also a high-achieving student, but his level is obviously not very good, and he usually makes a good start, but if you really want to ask him to give advice, it is still too far behind.
Li Dongcheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, what do you mean by not selling it to them at all, you are.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's think about how to deal with it." Lee Dong Cheng said.
But having said that, the attitude of the Indian Ministry of Defense seems to be very tough, yes, we want the Sky Eye Radar, but if you want us to buy it, you must sell us the Black Mamba missile together.
This is naked coercion, and it is no wonder that Li Dongcheng is not angry.
In essence, before leaving, Yang Tian did not intend to sell the Black Mamba missiles to India at all in his arrangement.
India's geographical location is so good that Yang Tian doesn't want their military strength to develop too quickly.
So this is simply a dead knot that cannot be untied, unless the Indian Ministry of Defense relaxes, otherwise the deal will collapse.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Dongcheng didn't think of a solution, and finally called Yang Tian to seek Yang Tian's guidance.
"What, if you don't sell Black Mamba missiles, you won't buy Skyeye radar?" Yang Tian was also angry when he heard the request of the Indian Ministry of Defense.
Li Dongcheng was not very interested, and the first time ABC Group's products were exported, he encountered such a stunned young man, who was not in a good mood.
"No, I was also upset, and after the formal meeting, they came to me again. This time they are also smart, saying that they want to purchase the Sky Eye radar in large quantities, of course, the premise is to sell them the Black Mamba missile, you say, they didn't mean it, and they took a large order to blackmail us. Li Dongcheng said depressedly.
Yang Tian still smiled and said, "Just rely on them, and they still want to come and blackmail us?" If you are like this, don't reply to the Indian Ministry of Defense first, find a local media, do an interview or something, and reveal that we plan to sell the Sky Eye Radar to Huaguo, as well as some surrounding East Asian countries. ”
Li Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood Yang Tian's plan.
"Good. I see, I'll do it. Li Dongcheng said. He also understands this bluff trick.
The reporter is very easy to find, and the outside world is still very concerned about the itinerary of the ABC Group's visit to India, and there are often reporters wandering around the hotel where Li Dongcheng and his entourage stayed.
On the same day, Li Dongcheng took the initiative to appear.
Some reporters waiting at the hotel quickly noticed Li Dongcheng, who had rarely appeared since he came to New Delhi. Many reporters want to do interviews, but they can't find a way to do it.
Li Dongcheng, who walked through the hotel lobby, was quickly blocked by several reporters.
Li Dongcheng, who was alone, didn't even bring a deputy, and he seemed very calm in the face of the reporters who suddenly surrounded him.
"Mr. Li, how are you talking about the cooperation plan with the Indian Ministry of Defense, and can you tell us the details of the cooperation?" A reporter asked aloud.
This time. Li Dongcheng took the initiative to stop and replied: "I'm afraid it's not convenient to disclose the specific negotiation process, but the main products of the cooperation can be revealed, which is the Tianyan radar promoted by our ABC Group." ”
Several reporters were amazed, the news came, and it seemed. Li Dongcheng seems to have the desire to speak.
"A long time ago, there was news that Huaguo wanted to purchase Tianyan radar, but there was no follow-up, and Mr. Li, you suddenly visited India. Talking with the Indian Ministry of Defense about the plan to sell the Sky Eye radar, is there any special reason. We know. India's geographical location is very special, once it has the Sky Eye radar, India's air defense capability will be greatly improved, and it will have a great impact on the interests of neighboring countries, especially neighboring China. Another reporter asked.
It's not a formal press conference, and these reporters are bold enough to say anything.
Li Dongcheng nodded secretly, just waiting for you to ask, and said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, our ABC Group is a commercial company, and there are people who are willing to buy our products, of course we have no reason not to sell." Some time ago, Huaguo wanted to purchase Tianyan radar, but due to some special reasons, the export time of Tianyan radar was not ripe, so it was postponed. However, this time we visited India and talked with the Indian Ministry of Defense about the sale of the Sky Eye Radar, which means that the time is ripe for the export of the Sky Eye Radar. ”
Several reporters' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked: "Then what does Mr. Li mean that if Huaguo wants to purchase Tianyan radar now, then ABC Group will sell it?" ”
This reporter's question was simply a blow to the itchy flesh, which made Li Dongcheng feel good.
"Of course, whether it is China, South Korea, Japan, any country or region, if you want to buy Sky Eye Radar, we have no reason not to sell it. And I think that soon I will also make a special trip to China to seek cooperation with China. Li Dongcheng said with an oath.
"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." After speaking, Li Dongcheng did not linger any longer, gave the reporter any chance to ask, and left quickly.
But the reporters had already gotten the news they wanted, looked at each other, and quickly left.
The next day, the New Delhi Daily, as well as several other media newspapers, carried exaggerated headlines.
"The cooperation plan between ABC Group and the Indian Ministry of Defense has been blocked, and Mr. Li Dongcheng, CEO of ABC Group, is deeply worried and will go to China to seek cooperation with Tianyan Radar in the near future."
Seeing the headline of the New Delhi Daily, as well as the conclusive tone in the content, saying that Li Dongcheng was sad and gloomy, his expression was ugly, etc., so that Li Dongcheng, who saw the newspaper, fell in love with this group of reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
What I'm afraid of is that you don't dare to write, and the more exaggerated the writing, the better the effect.
Now all Li Dongcheng has to do is wait quietly and wait for the response of the Indian Ministry of Defense.
In the Indian Ministry of Defense building, Defense Minister Brent also saw the relevant reports for the first time, and in shock, he quickly called Anthony to inquire about the situation.
"Anthony, did Mr. Li say that he would go to Huaguo in the near future to seek cooperation with Tianyan Radar?" Brent asked in a deep voice.
Anthony hadn't seen the latest newspaper yet, and he didn't know that the newspaper had written it like this, so he said suspiciously: "No, he never said it." ”
In the past few days, Anthony has been responsible for arranging the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Li Dongcheng and his entourage, and he has the most contact with Li Dongcheng, and he never knew that Li Dongcheng had said such a thing.
Brent snorted lightly, threw the newspaper in front of him directly in front of Anthony, and asked in a cold voice: "Then tell me, what's going on?" ”
Glancing at the newspaper, Anthony was also completely dumbfounded. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m.. Read. )
