Chapter 1576 Lin Hongfei with a black heart (three watches, one change)
The meeting and communication with 10 Downing Street lasted for three whole days!
In three days, Rolls-Royce and No. 10 Downing Street finally reached an agreement on the price of the second-hand Spey MK202 military turbofan engines ordered before the Republic and on the overall transfer of RTM322-9 turboshaft engine technology to China.
This is also thanks to the fact that No. 10 Downing Street has long been impatient with the fact that this matter has not been dealt with until now, and the pressure from various business organizations has made the Prime Minister even more stressed, otherwise...... Three days? If you can handle it in three months, it's fast.
Such a humiliating thing is undoubtedly to Scott. Mr. Ernest came forward, who let him make things so troublesome? But when Scott. When Ernest got in touch with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and expressed that he wanted to "negotiate the cooperation between the two companies" with Lin Hongfei, the person who answered the phone told him: I'm sorry, Mr. Lin has gone to Brazil.
……………………
Yes, Boss Lin went to Brazil, and saw that the cars produced by the factories invested by Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in Uruguay were continuously imported into Brazil, and the Uruguayans were constantly making their own money, and the Brazilians could no longer bear it: we also want to cooperate with the Chinese!
We want to cooperate with the Chinese in cars, and we want to cooperate with the Chinese on airplanes!
Embraer, in particular, is telling Brazilians that they really can't afford to delay.
With the outbreak of the economic crisis that swept the whole of South America in the early 90s, more than half of Brazil's annual fiscal revenue has to be used to repay debts, and the reduction of financial investment has made the already deteriorating Brazilian economy worse and worse. Brazilians with the status quo can no longer afford to be proud or awesome.
In this case, they had to invite Lin Hongfei to Brazil for investment "inspection" in an unprecedented sincere tone and "piety...... In fact, there have been many inspections in the early stage, to put it bluntly, this inspection is not much is a disguise, after the "inspection" circle, everyone can sign a cooperation contract.
But Scott. Ernest was in a hurry!
He didn't care what the Brazilians had in mind, he only knew that if he couldn't reach a settlement with Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. this time, his position as a director would be lost!
I thought of the misery of being kicked out of the board of directors by Rolls-Royce. Scott. What else does Ernest have in mind about the "dignity of a gentleman of the British Empire"? Knowing that Lin Hongfei would never give up his affairs in Brazil and rush back to China...... Let Lin Hongfei come to the UK early? is familiar with Lin Hongfei is a tough bastard in the face of Caucasians. Ernest, the idea didn't come to me at all...... After getting in touch with Lin Hongfei, he immediately asked the company to book a ticket to Brasilia for himself.
……………………
On the third day after arriving in Brazil, Lin Hongfei "took time" to meet with Scott. Ernest met with him.
The gentlemen of the British Empire, who would have been angry in the past, did not jump this time. He didn't even dare to frown, as soon as Fang sat down, he eagerly said to Lin Hongfei. "Lin. I think we probably had some misunderstandings before, and I'm here today to clear up some misunderstandings. ”
"Oh?" Lin Hongfei looked at the director of the rolls-Royce company who was arrogant and domineering in front of him just a few months ago, and there was a mockery in his eyes, "Mr. Ernest, I don't think there is any misunderstanding between us...... Is there a misunderstanding between us? ”
"Nope! We are the best friends. Of course, there is no misunderstanding! "I understand the meaning of Lin Hongfei's words, Scott. Ernest was overjoyed and didn't mind pumping his own mouth, "Lin." Believe that we can cooperate in a broader field, right? ”
"Of course," Lin Hongfei nodded with a smile, not at all able to see the unyielding appearance of the rolls-Royce company before, "As long as the rolls-royce company shows enough sincerity, I think there is nothing we can't cooperate...... Mr. Ernest, I wonder what good news you have brought me? ”
"Thanks to the unremitting efforts of our rolls-Royce company, 10 Downing Street finally agreed that the batch of 'Spey' MK202 engines ordered by your government can be delivered at any time, and we at rolls-Royce have carried out strict inspections on these engines before this, and I guarantee in the name of rolls-Royce that every engine is in the best condition." Hearing the reconciliation in Lin Hongfei's words, Scott. Ernest's face flushed a little with excitement.
"Really? That's great news! I think our government will be very happy with this news," Lin Hongfei nodded again and again, but then his tone changed slightly, "But the price is ......"
"£1,000,000 a piece, of course!" Without waiting for Lin Hongfei to finish speaking, Scott. Ernest said categorically, "The Chinese people are good friends of the British people, and of course we give the greatest preferential treatment to good friends!" ”
Scott who said this. Ernest was so bold that he had completely forgotten that just six months ago they had raised the price of such a bunch of new and second-hand goods, which cost only £2.5 million, to £3.2 million.
But out of Scott. Ernest was unexpected, but when he heard this guy, Lin Hongfei suddenly frowned, "1 million pounds?" ”
What's going on? Still not satisfied with £1 million? Scott. Ernest's mouth suddenly opened like a hippopotamus: Last time you said 1 million pounds, now you plan to go back?
Didn't wait for Scott. Ernest reacted, and Lin Hongfei muttered, "Didn't you say it was $1 million last time?" ”
Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Scott. It was dark in front of Ernest's eyes!
Nowadays, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is about 100 US dollars to 850 yuan RMB, but 100 pounds can be exchanged for more than 1,300 yuan, if the settlement unit is changed from pounds to US dollars, it is equivalent to the depreciation of a "Spey" MK202 engine by nearly 40%...... The shareholders and 10 Downing Street still have to tear themselves apart?
"Lin, are you mistaken? It's £1,000,000 each. "It's hard for Scott. Ernest, a dignified gentleman of the British Empire, was almost crying by now.
"It can't be! How could I be mistaken? Lin Hongfei shook his head and said categorically, "It's $1 million...... Well, why don't you check with your company's headquarters again? ”
Scott. Ernest pale and staggered away, he did not expect that Lin Hongfei this guy would be "ruthless" to this extent: now he especially misses Mr. He Kai, the former chairman of Xifei Group, and compared with Lin Hongfei, Mr. He Kai is simply the cutest Chinese in this world.
…………………………………………
Such a big thing, Lin Hongfei didn't dare to slack off, Scott. After Ernest left, Lin Hongfei immediately informed China of the incident.
"What? The director of the Rolls-Royce company chased you to Brazil? You pushed the price of the 'Spey' engine to $1,000,000 a unit? Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Zhu Qicheng, deputy director of the Military Products Trade Office of the Military Commission, almost bit his tongue, "This ...... This ......"
Rao is Deputy Director Zhu is in a high position and well-informed, but at this moment, he was also frightened by Lin Hongfei's ruthlessness: The pound has become a dollar! Master, you are my master! You are my dear master! How dare you speak! After being stupid for a long time, Deputy Director Zhu weakly finished speaking......
"Do you think the British might say yes?"
"Even if you don't agree, it is estimated that it will be a little lower than the original price," Lin Hongfei said, "You also know that in fact, the British themselves have long been unable to use these engines, except for us, they can't find a second customer, either sell it to us, or spend a lot of money every year to keep it carefully...... For the British, it is of course good to be able to pit us once in this matter and make a lot of money, but if there is nothing wrong with selling such a pile of garbage through fair trade, in fact, the price of 1 million pounds is a bit expensive, I believe the British themselves understand this, but the British were spoiled by us before, and now they can't accept it for a while, just wait for them to figure it out. ”
"Comrade Lin Hongfei, you should understand that this is not a trivial matter......" Zhu Qicheng's voice trembled.
What was the price when you signed the contract with the British? If you can really push the price of these engines to $1 million now, no! If you don't need 1 million US dollars for a unit, even if it is only 800,000 or 900,000 pounds for a unit, it will save the country a lot of money, and the rest of the money can be used by the state to introduce some other more advanced things.
"As long as you can be tough, there will be no problem," Lin Hongfei sighed, "If you can't be tough, what can I do?" Speaking of which, in fact, all the stinky problems of the British are caused by you...... Guarding such a big market can still be bullied, what do you say you want me to say? ”
"Uh......" Zhu Qicheng was suddenly suffocated by Lin Hongfei's words!
I didn't negotiate or sign this contract, what do you kid complain about me? However, Zhu Qicheng also understood that this was really not the time to talk about these things, so he took a deep breath, "In this way, I will report this news as soon as possible...... When will your kid come back? This kind of thing has to be discussed on our own territory, right? (To be continued......)
