Chapter 173: Change the soup but not the medicine
"Mr. Minister, do you have any news for me about that batch of equipment?"
After staying in Silicon Valley for a few more days, Yao Fei couldn't wait patiently anymore because he was concerned about the production base, he wanted to rush back to preside over the overall situation immediately with the people and materials that had been prepared, and after so many days, there should be news from Thaksin's side.
However, before going back, he still had to negotiate the business with the head of the commerce department and the big capitalists behind him, otherwise even if he went back, he would not be able to settle down, so he did not wait for the minister of commerce to call him to reply to the message, he took the lead in calling others and asking him about the procurement of those high-precision high-tech equipment.
"Mr. Yao Fei, hello, after my efforts, I have helped you finalize 70% of the equipment on the order, but the remaining prohibited equipment such as chip multi-function automatic detector and circuit board automatic printing machine, I think we may need some time to think of a way......"
In the office of the Minister of Commerce, although Kazik, who answered the phone at this time, spoke sincerely, there was no apology on his face, but a strange look that made people unable to see through his thoughts.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Yao Fei on the other side of the phone didn't know the situation in Kazik, he asked with some concern in his heart, the problems that can be solved with money will not be considered a problem, he can consider it.
"You should know that for the red countries, we and more than a dozen countries have had trade agreements, without the consent of all these countries. We can't sell you prohibited equipment.
But we still make a lot of efforts, while preserving the mechanical integrity of the equipment, if your company is willing to accept them to replace the original automatic control system with the old semi-automatic control system, then someone will solve the other problems for us......"
The regulations are dead, people are alive, and in the face of orders with profits of more than 60%, not only Kazik will not give up, but the capitalists behind it are even more reluctant to stare at the huge orders.
So after they discussed, they can take a middle way, which is to sell second-hand goods. What is the core of automation equipment. It's not just a complete control system that controls the various parts of the machine, using old equipment from four or five years ago to sell new goods, that's what they want to achieve.
A few years ago, the control was not so strict. Even if it is investigated and punished at that time. They can also be said to dispose of garbage. Since they can put Kazik in the position of Minister of Commerce, this is a small matter, for them. It's really not a big problem, just need to get through the links a little bit.
"Mr. Minister, is there no better solution?"
As soon as he heard that he was planning to sell his second-hand goods, how could Yao Fei be happy, so he asked him again.
"No, Mr. Yao Fei, this is already the best we can do, I'm sorry ......"
The most advanced equipment is impossible to sell, the last time I met Yao Fei, Kazik knew that Yao Fei was ten smart people, if the other party didn't buy it, he didn't mind spending some time, energy and manpower on Feiyue Technology Company.
"Well, Mr. Kazik, thank you for your help, so in terms of price, it should be cheaper, right?"
Since the other party said so surely, Yao Fei has no better way, so he can only choose to accept it helplessly, or that sentence, something is better than nothing, fortunately, their company has never lacked talents in programming, spend some time, work hard to refuel, semi-automated equipment, should still be able to be modified into automation equipment.
Reached an agreement on the issue of equipment, of course Yao Fei will not give the latest product quotation at the beginning, you must know that the price has risen by 20 percentage points on the basis of the market price, if this is not made clear in advance, people will definitely dare to accept the price at that time.
"70% of the order offer, OK?"
The value of a high-tech high-precision instrument, more than 60% is reflected in its control system, even if it is a seven-fold discount, it is equivalent to eighty-four percent off the market price, once the business is done, it is simply not too profitable, so that after they turn over the "operational" equipment can obtain profits, at least 60% of its market price, what a fascinating deal, can they refuse? Will you refuse?
"Okay, tomorrow I will visit His Excellency the Minister, when we sign the contract, and within a week, our company will pay the deposit as required, and at the same time hope that the Minister will arrange for them to deliver on time!"
It's really a group of black-hearted vampires, how can Yao Fei not know the value of the automatic control system in the equipment, if it is 70% of the market price, then he can barely be willing to accept it, but 70% of the order quotation, this is a bit of a robbery, the key is that Yao Fei has to accept this price.
can only be regarded as spending money to eliminate disasters and pinching his nose to admit it, and through this transaction, isn't it also accompanied by a source, although this source needs to be cautious and cautious, but as long as the price is right, the news of the Minister of Commerce will really play a very big role in himself.
"Welcome, I'll tell Mr. Stephen that they're going to host a welcome reception tomorrow just for you......"
It was easier than he thought to have achieved his predetermined goal, and at the thought of the huge commission that would soon be credited to his private account, Kazik's mouth smiled as brightly as a leather shoe that had exploded the thread.
"Thank you very much, and look forward to meeting you, bye, Mr. Minister!"
also welcomed the cocktail party, it should be said that it was almost the same as the fat sheep slaughtering conference, after the matter was said, Yao Fei didn't mean to continue to chat with him a few more words, and symbolically said goodbye and hung up the phone first.
"Hong Qing, help me inform Gao Gang and Gong Yun, let them be the first to go back to Hong Kong when they are ready, and let them tell Abt that after he gets his wife, he will fly directly from New York to Hong Kong, and let Qin Ting arrange someone to pick them up when the time comes.
Tomorrow we'll go to Washington, D.C., and then we'll go back to Hong Kong......"
Coney wants to finish teaching this semester's class, and the only thing Yao Fei can take away from here is the various materials of the monocrystalline silicon laboratory sorted out by Gongyun Gaogang Abt and Brady, and after explaining these things, Yao Fei called Brenda again, and asked him to inform Jim, the Minister of Planning and Finance, and the Minister of Justice, Ericks, to organize a signing team and let them be responsible for signing the order contract reached.
At the same time, on the other side of the world, in the town of Dali at the southern pass of the town of Manxingdu on the northern border of Thailand, thousands of military and police armed with various weapons are ready to go in the night, and tonight, it will be very lively......
