Chapter 258 Enforcement of Oil Prices
On the third day after the presentation, there was no news from Ahmed's side, but Shapur made a request for the next round of negotiations.
These three days were three days of horror for Huang Guanghui. Wan Shan and Xiang Ping were sent out to follow Jiang Jun to the 460 Factory on a business trip, and Gong Dazhu was also sent by Li Lu to work at the vehicle test site of the Red Star Defense Company, ready to respond to the demonstration requests made by the merchants at any time.
As a result, he is the only one left in charge of the "isolation and secrecy" work. In order to strengthen the manpower on his side, Li Lu sent Zhang Weiwei and Zhao Xu over. In the case of lack of manpower, Li Lu couldn't care about other people's gossip, and began to use the personnel of the Public Security Department of the New Guangming Factory to do private work.
Fortunately, Ahmed and Shapur's attention was focused on communicating with the country, and they didn't have the heart to run blindly, which greatly reduced the chances of them meeting.
In the conference room in the back building, Li Lu and Shapur had a third round of negotiations.
Niu Jun, who still acts as an assistant and interpreter, presided over the negotiations and said, "Mr. Shapur, at your request, we have organized today's negotiations, which are the third round of negotiations, and according to your request, both parties will try to determine all the contract details in this negotiation. ”
Shapur nodded slightly, "Yes, ma'am, thank you." ”
Niu Jun sat down and unfolded the notebook, ready to record.
Li Lu shook hands with Shapur and said, "Mr. Shapur, you are short on time, so with the approval of your superiors, I can make decisions on the spot on issues within the scope of my authority." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Lee, for your understanding." Shapur said, "This morning, our loan program was approved by the relevant departments of your country. The loan of 2 billion Huaxia coins was used to purchase weapons and equipment from the Red Star Tractor Factory. Mr. Li, let's talk a little bit more about the details. ”
"No problem, Mr. Shapur, please." Li Lu also opened his record book.
Shapur glanced down and said, "We need to purchase three hundred sets of Evil Fox rocket artillery systems and supporting ammunition and logistics support equipment, one hundred Asian Tiger main battle tanks, according to the previous agreement, under the premise of purchasing one hundred Asian Tiger tanks, the Red Star Factory can provide two regiments of 59 modified tanks within half a year, and we need one hundred and fifty 59 modified tanks to equip two armored regiments." ”
This is what Li Lu promised.
"Yes, after signing the contract for the purchase of 100 Asian Tiger main battle tanks, we promise to provide you with two regiments of 150 tanks of 59 modifications within half a year at a unit price of two million dollars. The main improvements included the replacement of high-horsepower engines and the replacement of 105-mm guns. Li Ludao.
Niu Jun had long been accustomed to Li Lu's shamelessness, but he didn't feel anything surprising when he stopped in his ears at this time. After two important improvements, the 59 Tan is basically on par with the Asian Tiger tank in terms of mobility and firepower.
Shapur was not satisfied, six months to provide one and a half hundred tanks, a speed that only the Chinese were able to do. Compared with the Asian Tiger tank, which has a longer delivery time, the 59 change is more important for Shapur at this stage.
Niu Jun wrote down the calculated data on a piece of paper and handed it to Li Lu, who glanced at it and said, "Mr. Shapur, one hundred and fifty units of 59 reforms, three hundred sets of Evil Fox rocket artillery systems, and one hundred Asian Tiger tanks, the number is no problem, right?" ”
Shapur nodded, "Yes, but there are also forty mm caliber rocket launchers and some small arms. ”
Li Lu smiled and said, "Four zero fires and squad firearms, including heavy machine guns, and some matching ammunition, you can give a million dollars at will, and I will continue to provide you with a total of five infantry divisions." ”
"Mr. Li, I can't express my gratitude." Shapur was stunned for a while, and then said movingly.
The light and heavy weapons and supporting ammunition of the five divisions would cost tens of millions of dollars if they were complete, and Li Lu's provision at an almost symbolic price fully expressed Li Lu's deep friendship with the Iranian people in Shapur's eyes.
On Li Lu's side, the super list of tanks and evil fox rocket artillery systems has a deep draft, and it is not good to eat too deeply, in order to lay a good foundation for friendship, take the opportunity to sell a favor at this time, which is good for future cooperation. There are mountains of light and heavy weapons in the country, and the light and heavy weapons in the combat readiness warehouses and the massive ammunition cannot be consumed until 30 years later.
There are no aircraft cannons, and there are not many bullets for firearms.
In the 60s, the policy of digging deep holes and accumulating grain and not seeking hegemony created a huge stockpile of light and heavy weapons and ammunition, and the people of the whole country still had a surplus of one rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition. These weapons and ammunition are placed there to be a life waiting to be returned to the furnace or destroyed, why not take the opportunity to send them out, not to mention personal favors, there can be a million dollars, add some more, take out three million dollars to the troops, and the rifle bullets of the two divisions are no problem.
Li Lu glanced at the total contract amount, he was taken aback, and came back to his senses, he said, "Mr. Shapur, the total contract amount is 720 million US dollars. ”
"Yes, I have no objection." Shapur readily agreed, he was naturally clear about the specific amount of each list, and he had negotiated before, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Mr. Li, we ask for a package purchase contract, not a separate one." ”
Li Lu frowned slightly, thought about it, and remembered
Shapur's purpose is obvious. If, as previously negotiated, there is an independent contract for one type of weapon, then he needs to pay more cash. Integrating and signing a package purchase contract, he was able to pay more in Huaxia coins.
His purpose of lending two billion Chinese dollars is very clear.
The exchange rate agreed between Shapur and the domestic banks is one to six, three times the official exchange rate, and according to this exchange rate, the price of 100 Asian Tiger tanks is 1.8 billion Chinese dollars, and excluding the 30 percent deposit, Shapur actually only needs to borrow 1.3 billion Chinese dollars. But he borrowed two billion, which shows that he has already considered it.
Li Lu quickly weighed it, and the merger into a package of purchase contracts had no impact on him, but would allow him to get more oil, and the bad thing was that he had less foreign exchange than the previous plan. If it was a few days ago, Li Lu would not have agreed, but at this time, he had basically finalized his intention to be a local tyrant like Ahmed, and he had received a lot more foreign exchange than before, so he didn't care that Shapur gave him less dollars.
"No problem." Li Lu thought about it and nodded, "But my other condition is that I can't back down anymore." In accordance with the 1979 national oil price standard, oil is used for repayment. ”
To be exact, this should be the content of the negotiations between Shapur and the lending bank, and Li Lu is not one of them, he has the right to speak in the dollar.
However, Shapur's loan agreement with the domestic bank was based on Li Lu's commitment to purchase all the crude oil that would be repaid. In other words, the level of oil price standards is directly related to Li Lu's vital interests.
Therefore, neither Shapur nor domestic banks have a say in this regard, and they have to look at Li Lu's face to act in order to complete this business. The domestic banks couldn't be more transcendent, anyway, they have Li Lu to cover it, and they just collect the interest principal according to the contract.
To put it bluntly, Shapur gave Li Lu Petroleum, and Li Lu repaid the 20 billion Huaxia Yuan loan for him, with an average of more than 100 million yuan per year. After the Huaxia currency depreciated sharply in the future, Li Lu made another profit, which was completely an additional benefit that he didn't expect.
