"How are you feeling these days?" When Qin Feng got off the plane, he came to the conference room, waiting for the flight data, and at the same time, he saw Boileau, the overseas sales director of Dassault AG, at this time, Boileau had the smile on his face that had been reserved, and he was already full of confidence in this sales.

"Overall, it's good." General Lin said that as a representative of the military, General Lin's speech was very valuable.

"Now the Phantom 2000, has not completed all the research and development, but basically has been determined, if you want to order, we can also modify the internal program, so that it is displayed in Chinese, all kinds of instruments, buttons, can be replaced by Chinese for you." Boileau continued.

This can also show their sincerity, in order to meet the needs of customers, they have to make new modifications to their fighters, you know, this is almost unprecedented.

China bought so many planes from the USSR, and at that time they were not all in Russian? Therefore, until now, the foreign language in the field of education in China is still dominated by Russian, just to be able to read and understand.

"So, what is the approximate price of this plane?" General Lin asked tentatively.

Want to know the price now? Of course it is impossible, Boileau has done so many business, of course, it is clear.

The advantage of legal fighters is that they are not limited by politics, they are not members of NATO, they do not need to look at the face of the United States, and even in order to show the maverick behavior of France, many times, they will even deliberately act against the United States, starting from the time of Charles de Gaulle.

As for the disadvantages, that is, the price is high, and the French, of course, know that their weapons systems are sky-high, so they will not offer easily.

They first impress the hearts of those present with their performance, and then, wait until the other party completely looks at this fighter, and then make an offer.

Moreover, this offer, it is absolutely impossible to simply say how much a plane costs.

You can't just buy fighter jets, you have to buy missiles, right? You have to buy all kinds of spare parts, right? And the flight simulator, and the pilots who helped you in the early stages of your training, right?

This set of processes goes down, the price, tsk.

Boileau knows that their biggest competitor in the export market is the F-16, several competition failures, and now the Chinese are already their potential biggest customers, of course, they can't come up and scare away.

How much does it cost? The Tornado fighter-bombers that have been put into service in Europe are now exported at a price of 28 million West German marks each, equivalent to 28 million yuan, compared with the castrated version of the F-16 in the United States, which is only 10 million US dollars, equivalent to 19 million yuan, which shows how beautiful the price of the F-16 is.

And what about your own Mirage 2000? The price should be reported at least three times that of the F-16, equivalent to up to 60 million yuan, which is only the bare metal, excluding other costs, plus spare parts, missiles, converted to each fighter, it will be hundreds of millions.

This is definitely a sky-high price, you can't say it now, if you say it now, the other party will definitely leave directly.

"Let's look at the fighter first, and wait until all the test flights of the fighter are over, fully meet your needs, and then we will talk about the price, if the performance of the fighter itself is not clear to you, it is meaningless to talk about the price at this time, don't worry." Boileau said.

Boileau said this, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, after all, there was already the experience of Tu Lao and Marconi company negotiations, at that time, the British did not talk about the price, first talked about the performance, and then began to talk about the price at the end, although the negotiation was very hard, didn't it also talk about it in the end?

"Then we'll have a test flight tomorrow?" General Lin asked.

Boileau shook his head: "No, tomorrow is the weekend, aren't you just the weekend?" ”

Weekend?

Everyone came here for a business trip, although it was Dassault to reimburse the travel expenses, but everyone has only one thought, that is, to find out the performance of this aircraft as soon as possible, and what to mention for the weekend?

Even in China, isn't it common to see overtime?

"Okay, tomorrow, I'll take you to Lyon to relax." Boileau said: "The cost is paid by Dassault. ”

Lyon is a famous seaport city in France, before the development of aviation technology, travel was almost mainly by steam, after a long period of development, it has become one of the largest cities.

The next day, everyone took a bus and entered the city.

Located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, the main town is roughly divided into three main parts by the river: the mountain of Fourvière on the west, the old town on the peninsula between the two rivers, and the new town mainly in the east.

Boileau himself acted as a narrator, giving everyone pointers, and the first thing to come to was, of course, the old town.

"Look, this is the most famous building in Lyon!" Along the way, all you see are buildings full of last century style, narrow and dense windows, red roofs that glisten in the sun, these buildings are not high, only four or five stories old.

And now, with Boileau's pointing, everyone's eyes were on the center of the red square, where there was a base of tall white stone, on which a warrior was riding a horse.

"Louis XIV?" Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.

In France, there is bound to be a mention of Louis XIV, who, during his tenure, became the most powerful country on the European continent, and he was also known as the Sun King.

Today, it is the Place de la Bellecour, as well as the Place Royal, and the most important and arguably the only decoration of the square is the majestic equestrian statue of Louis XIV in front of you.

Qin Feng knew about this place because when he was a student, he knew that Place Bellecour was an important stage for the textile workers' movement in Lyon in the mid-19th century. Louis XIV rode his horse and watched the movement.

"Yes, this is the sculpture of our Sun King." "Now that we're getting off here, you can go to the shops around and shop as much as you want, buy everything you need, color TVs, tape recorders, perfumes, beautiful clothes, whatever!" ”

When he heard Boileau's words, all of a sudden, Qin Feng felt his eyelids begin to beat wildly.

This scene, how similar, in order to let the Jordanians reach an agreement to buy J-7 fighters, they first took them shopping, coaxed them to be happy, and then entangled, without signing the contract, they did not let them go.

Today, if you use the money of the French and buy this and that, do you still want to go easily? If it is on the line, what is the difference between this and taking bribes?
