Maybe directly, more likely to look down on, to the "Prime Minister's Office", that is, the Ukrainian government building, just sat down, Stone. Seifer directly stated the purpose of his trip, "Your Excellency, please forgive my confession, the cooperation between your Antonov Design Bureau and the Second Group of AVIC of the Republic has threatened Boeing, MacDonald. In the interests of Douglas and Airbus, in the spirit of the traditional friendship between the United States, France and Ukraine, we hope that your country will stop cooperating with AVIC Group II. ”

"What?" Vinnyshenko was stunned.

Although he already had a hunch that he knew Dawstone. Seifer, Alain. Garcia and Carlos. Benin came on this trip for what the hell can be Dangstone. When Sever's words were so direct, and he didn't even give a basic explanation for Ukraine's losses, Vinnishenko was stupid, and a feeling of being looked down upon and even ignored came to Vinnishenko's mind: these bastards didn't take themselves seriously at all!

"We sincerely hope that the Antonov Design Bureau will stop cooperating with AVIC Group II," said Stone. Seifer grinned, his snow-white teeth shining, like a sharp razor, "Your Excellency, please understand that the cooperation between your Antonov Design Bureau and AVIC Group 2 has seriously infringed on the interests of our country, and their North County 200 aircraft have posed a serious threat to the interests of our Boeing 737, Airbus A320 and MD-80/90 series aircraft in China, so in order to safeguard our interests, so ......"

Alan. Garcia and Carlos. Although Benin did not speak, its confident attitude speaks for itself: they are not at all worried about whether Ukraine will dare to agree...... Do you want to join the world of freedom and democracy? Do you want to get economic aid from the United States and European countries? If you want to, then be obedient.

Although they have never said this, the US government and the governments of European countries have been using this invincible sword to kill the Quartet of Ukraine for a long time. They are even sure that as soon as they say this themselves, the Ukrainians will immediately think of their money bags.

Vinnishenko's smile was extremely difficult, although they had already expected what the heads of Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus would visit Ukraine for when they received the notice from the US and French governments, but before the other party completely lifted the hole cards, Vinnyshenko and others always had a trace of luck in their hearts: Maybe this is not the case? But this moment, Stone. Seifer's words completely threw Ukraine's last bit of luck into the Black Sea.

"Mr. Stone, the cooperation between the Antonov Design Bureau and AVIC No. 2 Group is of great significance for the recovery of China's economy and for maintaining the R&D capabilities of China's aviation industry......"

"Your Excellency, please forgive me. Appropriate sacrifices are inevitable and entirely understandable in order to protect the interests of the civilized world," said Alain. Garcia spoke, interrupting Vinnishenko's words very facelessly, "We all hope that the Ukrainian government can do its part to protect the interests of the civilized world." It is also the best way for Ukraine to prove to the Western world that it is determined to integrate into the world of civilization. ”

"......" Vinnishenko fell silent, how could he not understand the threat in the words of Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and Airbus? I thought that this matter might be able to fool the past. But now it seems that he was too naïve.

But just bow your head like that? Vinnyshenko didn't dare. Not to mention that now the Antonov Design Bureau has signed a cooperation contract with the Second Group of AVIC, and neither Ukraine nor the Antonov Design Bureau can afford the responsibility for this breach of contract.

Taking a deep breath, Vinnishenko's mind raced. He said to the three people with an embarrassed face, "But we have signed a cooperation contract with AVIC Second Group, and the liquidated damages are very high, and we in Ukraine cannot afford the compensation price for breach of contract......"

If you are willing to help us compensate for this loss. Breach of contract is not out of the question. That's what Vinnyshenko meant. For his part, Vinnishenko is certainly not willing to give up this rare opportunity...... Yes, in his opinion, the arrival of the three major airlines is an opportunity for Ukraine...... If Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell Douglas are willing to help Ukraine bear this compensation, even if the contract is broken, it is nothing, it is a big deal to go back and say a few good words to Lin Hongfei, so he does not believe that Lin Hongfei will completely tear his face with Ukraine.

Alan. Garcia, Stone. Sever and Carlos. Benin frowned at the same time: liquidated damages? This was somewhat unexpected.

Of course, since Ukraine breaks the treaty, it will have to pay some price, and now Ukraine is a nuclear power after all, and its nuclear weapons can cover the entire territory of the United States, although they are sure that Ukraine absolutely does not have the courage to launch nuclear weapons to the United States, but secretly sell these things to the Chinese to cause some trouble to the United States, they believe that the Ukrainians still dare. As long as the money can solve the problem, it is not much of a problem, Stone. Seifer frowned and then relaxed, "How much is the liquidated damages?" ”

"$1 billion ......," Vinnyshenko said cautiously.

"How much?!" Stone. Seifer's eyes widened suddenly.

"$1 Billion ......"

"$1 Billion ......" Stone. Seifer jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "Are you crazy? How dare you sign such a hefty contract with that damn bastard? ”

$1 billion in compensation to Lin Hongfei? Damn it! This condition stone. Seifer didn't dare to agree anyway, and before he came, the board of directors only gave him a $5 million authorization line, $1 billion? Stone. Seifer believes that even if the board of directors collectively went crazy, they would never agree to this amount of compensation.

Alan. Garcia and Carlos. Benin's reaction was no bigger than Stone. How good is Seifer, the two guys' mouths are open and the hippopotamus has a fight: $1 billion? What the!

“……”

Vinnishenko is a bitter smile other than a bitter smile, what can he say? This $1 billion liquidated damages was formulated by the Ukrainian side, in order to avoid Lin Hongfei's breach of contract, and wanted to use this way to firmly tie Lin Hongfei and his AVIC Second Group to Ukraine.

"Your Excellency, $1 billion is impossible in any way, regardless of whether there is any inside story in it...... After all, this is a contract signed between your country's enterprises and the Chinese. "Stone. Seifer said, he's going to be a scoundrel.

But he clearly underestimated the thickness of the politicians' cheeks.

"That'...... Three, I have to say sorry, if we hastily break the contract and do not bear compensation, the international credibility of the Ukrainian government will immediately fall to the bottom, and we are brewing a plan for the issuance of government bonds next year......

Vinnishenko also showed no weakness: If you Americans are allowed to brush scoundrels, we are not allowed to play scoundrels? Americans and French, you underestimate the thickness of our skin, if you can afford this compensation, then I will not say anything, admit it, but if you are going to let our Ukrainian government pay for your interests...... Why? Your Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are not the U.S. government, and your Airbus headquarters are not in the Elysee Palace.

"This ......"

Stone. Seifer and Alain. Garcia, Carlos. Benin couldn't help but look at each other, they were a little strange where did the Ukrainians get such courage, aren't they afraid of Boeing, Airbus and MacDonald. Does Douglas give them eye medicine to integrate into the civilized world?

Just thinking about it, I think that this reaction of the Ukrainians is simply taken for granted: for a government, they cannot afford the consequences of breaking the contract and not paying compensation...... What the? You said that it was the Antonov Design Bureau that signed the contract with AVIC 2 and has nothing to do with the Ukrainian government?

Naive guy, which company in this world has the ability to manufacture large aircraft that is not controlled by the state? Even Boeing and MacDonald. Douglas and Airbus, don't they have to obey national interests when selling civil aircraft to foreign countries? Otherwise, when they sell planes to the republic, why do they have to sign a guarantee letter for the republic, guaranteeing that the civil aviation aircraft sold to the republics will not be converted into special military aircraft, including air tankers, early warning planes, electronic reconnaissance planes, and so on? That's why, in order to ensure the interests of the U.S. government.

The Ukrainian government cannot afford the serious consequences of this breach of contract, and the three major aviation aircraft manufacturing companies also find this matter tricky, but let the Antonov Design Bureau cooperate with AVIC Group 2? Are you kidding!

It seems that only the second step is carried out. The three of them glanced at each other in unison and nodded secretly.

"Well, Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can understand the reaction of your government." Or by Stone. Seifer spoke first.

"Thank you for your understanding." Vinnishenko's face showed a hint of surprise, but his heart was even higher: they have been cheated by the Americans for so many years, and they are no longer as innocent as they used to be, no matter what, half of the Americans' words are right.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Xie Lu, but our determination to safeguard the interests of the civilized world cannot be shaken," said Stone. Seifer stared at Vinnishenko, not giving the prime minister face at all, "We hope that the head of the Antonov Design Bureau will have a good talk on this issue." ”

These words are not so much a request as an order. (To be continued......)
