In fact, Ahmed's purpose is exactly the same as the history that Lelu remembers.

Ahmed was aiming for the Asian Tiger tank, and he had learned from other sources that if they could get it, their armored forces would have a technological advantage over Iran.

And the reason why he was so anxious was that he actually knew that the Iranians were also there, and that they were at the dry port at this moment.

Preventing the Iranians from acquiring Asian Tiger tanks is his real goal.

Either way, it is based on the same principle: to kill the Iranians.

Ahmet had a knife in his hand, and he would buy anything if he could prevent Shapur from getting a weapon, even a burning stick.

It's just tacit.

The two sides met on time, and after a polite greeting, the first round of negotiations was held in the conference room on the first half of Building 3. Similarly, the staff of foreign affairs are not present, only the two sides of the enterprise sit facing each other. There are three people on Ahmed's side, and four people on Li Lu's side, which are basically equal.

After the routine introduction, the negotiations began.

Li Lu's face was full of enthusiasm and cold smile, and he said, "Mr. Ahmed, first of all, on behalf of the Red Star Tractor Factory, I would like to welcome you, and we feel very honored to have your presence. ”

"Thank you, the dry port is a beautiful city, and the people of your country are very welcoming." Ahmed laughed.

Li Lu did not want to waste time in this kind of rhetoric, so he went straight to the point, and said, "Mr. Ahmed, according to the plan, you will first watch the demonstration of weapon performance, put forward the list of intentions to procure, and then the two sides will discuss the specific details. But I was informed two hours ago that you were asking for immediate negotiations. Has your purpose changed? ”

Ahmad did not despise Li Lu because of his youth, and being able to sit in the main seat of the negotiation shows that the identity of the other party is very important. Of course, he knew in advance that the object of cooperation was the Red Star Tractor Factory, and he also expressed his understanding of the complex transaction methods adopted by Huaxia in order to avoid some problems. The current international environment is not very favorable for them, and it is more prudent to win Ahmed's heart. He doesn't care who he negotiates with, as long as he can get the weapons and equipment he wants.

"Not at all." "As I'm sure you know, we've purchased a lot of Type 59 and Type 69 tanks. In terms of armor alone, we don't lack it for the time being. However, as you know, we lack tank development capabilities, and in future wars, we need more advanced main battle tanks to equip our troops in order to gain technical suppression of our opponents. ”

Objectively speaking, Ahmed is very sincere, and he has directly stated his attitude and explained his own situation. The previous series of transactions made him feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Chinese people, and even when he reported the situation to China, he used a lot of praise words to explain the past few business negotiations. Of course, he would not tell Li Lu that his real purpose was to prevent Shapur from obtaining the Asian Tiger tank.

It's just that he didn't know that at this moment, Li Lu had basically guessed his true purpose. Li Lu believed that Ahmet was very sincere in obtaining advanced tanks, but if this was the case, Ahmet did not need to be in such a hurry. The main battle tank is the big guy in the ground equipment, and it is expensive to negotiate, and if you start negotiations without watching a performance demonstration, local tyrants such as Saudi Arabia will not be so child's play.

Therefore, it is not difficult to judge Ahmed's true purpose.

In fact, after figuring out Ahmed's intentions, Li Lu could have taken a procrastination decision, delaying time, and waiting until the deal with Shapur's side was reached, and the negotiations would be successful.

But if you do that, you will lose Ahmed as a customer. He originally had the mentality of being able to buy but not to buy, and if he dragged it out like this, the business with this side would naturally be ruined.

If you were someone else, you would definitely choose to make sure that the transaction with one of them went smoothly first, and swallow the meat in your mouth first.

But Li Lu didn't, he not only wanted to make Shapur's money, but also wanted Amway to give Ahmed some weapons and equipment with high gold content. It's hard to wait for such an opportunity, and don't play hard to open the market to lay a solid foundation for future development, but when?

Even if the plan was disrupted by the foreign affairs department, Li Lu's ultimate goal did not change.

Li Lu looked at Pei Lei and said to Ahmed, "Mr. Ahmed, this is Professor Pei Lei, the chief designer of the Asian Tiger Tank, and I think it is most appropriate for him to introduce the relevant situation." ”

"Professor Pei Lei, please." Ahmad nodded politely, puzzled by Pei Lei's external image, this person is more like the head of the army training camp, and he can't have anything to do with intellectuals.

Pei Lei glanced at Li Lu, when did I become a professor?

Looking down at the relevant information of the Tiger Hunter anti-tank missile system, the horizontal flesh on Pei Lei's face was trembling slightly, and there were several sentences XXX I didn't know whether to say it or not - because Li Lu had decided not to sell the Asian Tiger tank to Ahmed, so the relevant information was not prepared at all, and some only existed in the concept of the Tiger Hunting anti-tank missile system, which was actually the relevant information of the Red Arrow-73 anti-tank missile plus the technical information of the BJ212 jeep......

"Ahem." Coughing a little, Pei Lei began to speak, fortunately, he is the chief designer, so he knows all kinds of technical data and performance of the Asian Tiger tank well, "Mr. Ahmed, I won't introduce the performance of the Asian Tiger tank, and I'll give you a detailed information later." There are two problems that are difficult to overcome. ”

He paused, then continued, "First of all, the cost. As you know, the Asian Tiger tank was developed on the basis of the 59 tank, but there are big differences. Among them, the high price of the new engine and the new fire-control system has led to a significant increase in the cost of the Asian Tiger tank. ”

Ahmed waved his hand and said, "Money is not an issue, what is the unit price?" ”

"Three million dollars." Pei Lei said, "It's just a naked car, and it doesn't include related logistics support equipment." ”

"It's not expensive." Ahmed laughed.

At this time, if Li Lu can sell it, the contract can be finalized.

However, it is obviously not possible.

Pei Lei shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ahmed, the second problem is that the production of Asian Tiger tanks is very low. Our annual output is only 50 or 60 units a year, and it is already very difficult to supply our own army. Therefore, due to the friendly relations between our two countries, although we would love to provide you with this type of tank, it is not possible to achieve it. ”

Li Lu took over and said, "Of course, the purchase contract can be signed, but it will take several years to complete the delivery." It is not known whether Mr. Ahmed would be able to accept such a scenario. ”

Ahmad shook his head and said, "In the words of you Chinese people, this is called far water can't quench the thirst of the near. Mr. Lee, in any case, I would like to be able to procure some Asian Tiger tanks. ”

His purpose has been clearly expressed, and he doesn't believe Pei Lei's statement. The Asian Tiger tank is not a newly developed tank, but an improved and developed type, how can the production capacity be only a few units a month? Therefore, he believes that the Iranians will definitely buy Asian Tiger tanks, thus accounting for part of the production capacity. Therefore, the meaning of his intention to get in the way is obvious - do those poor Iranian ghosts have money, we have it, we will pay a high price, buy all that we can buy, and we will not let you get Asian Tiger tanks for at least two or three years.

Li Lu did not answer Ahmed's words directly, he instead said, "Mr. Ahmed, you want to gain overwhelming superiority over the enemy's armored forces in the war, this is the fundamental purpose, right?" ”

"Of course it is." Ahmed said.

Pei Lei, Niu Jun and Ma Jintao all subconsciously lowered their heads, well, Li Lu is about to start performing again.
