Li Lu is not professional, he does not understand the meaning of each data, but he can judge what kind of things can be processed by the machine tools provided by Toshiba through these data, introductions and even structural drawings.

He was so excited, indescribably excited.

Finally, he put down the information with an expressionless face and asked in a very calm tone, "Mr. Murakami, how much does a machine tool like yours sell?" If it is too expensive, we need to compare or use competitive bidding to choose the right machine. ”

Jiro Murakami and Hiroshi Tanimura glanced at each other, and suddenly became solemn. They originally thought that the Chinese people had not had much contact with the outside world, and they were very ignorant, as long as the high technology was revealed, for the Chinese people who were eager for technology, they would definitely be able to get orders.

The situation in front of him made Murakami, a half-Huaxia Tong, feel worried, this young general manager dressed as a farmer, who was different from other Huaxia people, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the world.

This person is not easy to fool.

Several thoughts flashed through Murakami's mind, and after quick and careful thinking, he decided to follow the international offer, so he said, "Seven million dollars." ”

Li Lu frowned violently, "Are you talking about the price of a system?" ”

This time, even Tanimura Hiroshi didn't dare to underestimate it, the other party was obviously very familiar with such a machine tool system, otherwise how would he know that the usual quotation was only the quotation of the mother machine.

"No, Mr. Li, it's usually the price of the mother machine, it's the practice of the industry." Jiro Murakami said, and added, "Of course, there is definitely room for counteroffer." We at Toshiba are very sincere in cooperating with Mr. Li and your Red Star Company. ”

Li Lu smiled coldly and said, "You offer the Soviets six million dollars, and give me seven million dollars." I don't see where your sincerity is. ”

After speaking, Li Lu stood up and brushed his sleeves and prepared to leave.

Murakami and Tanimura looked at each other and were surprised - how did he know that Toshiba's offer to the Soviets was six million dollars!

Contact with the Soviets, led by Murakami, was not so long ago. However, it was not easy to do business with the Soviets, and the Americans were constantly watching. Therefore, negotiations with the Soviets were more difficult. Murakami rushed back urgently, went to the Huaxia side, and took advantage of the gap between negotiations with the Soviets to make a quick order to replenish it.

Another reason is that he knows that the Chinese do not have much foreign exchange, at most they will buy one machine, and the Soviets have already stated that they will buy more than four machines and an excess of spare parts and spare parts.

Therefore, in terms of price, he opened the price of seven million US dollars, and it stands to reason that he also has his considerations.

But he never imagined such a hidden thing, and the peasant-like Chinese man in front of him actually knew! What Red Star Company is a big business, it's really like Jiro Murakami hasn't seen a big snake! Mitsui Nohara had already told him that Li Lu's Red Star Company might be the first private company in China. Jiro Murakami knows very well that the enterprises in China, as long as they are of a certain scale, are state-owned enterprises, and even those factory enterprises cannot be strictly called companies.

At present, Huaxia is still in the exploration stage on the road of enterprise companies, and the management and operation of modern enterprises are all in a state of blindness.

But here's a paradox.

If Li Lu's company is not worth mentioning, where does he have millions of dollars in foreign exchange? Mr. Murakami had heard some of his fellow travelers mention that none of China's large state-owned enterprises had the power to use millions of dollars in foreign exchange. To use this level of foreign exchange, it must be presided over by the state department.

However, from the beginning to the end, Mitsui Nohara did not tell him about Red Star's foreign exchange restrictions, and Murakami knew that Mitsui had been trading with Red Star. The question is, how did Red Star's foreign exchange come about?

Therefore, Jiro Murakami is keenly aware that there must be strong support behind Red Star Company, so even if he suspects that Red Star Company is just a small business, he will not doubt Li Lu's strength - the company that is launched to play cover does not need to be so big that it is eye-catching.

For Toshiba, as long as it can make millions of dollars in profits, any ideology is a very nonsense topic. There has never been any doctrine in American conglomerates, and if there is one, it is moneyism. He is resolute, it is a matter of profit!

At this time, seeing that Li Lu was angry, Murakami didn't have the heart to analyze how the negotiations with the Soviets were exposed, so he hurriedly stood up and said urgently, "Mr. Li, please stay!" ”

Li Lu stopped, turned to look at Jiro Murakami, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Fuji Heavy Industries is obviously able to bring products that satisfy me." ”

"Mr. Li, you misunderstood." Jiro Murakami hurriedly explained, "For five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, our global quotation is 7 million US dollars. It is normal and logical for a few customers to receive a quotation of $6 million solely because of the large number of purchases, so it is appropriate to make concessions. ”

"Oh? Could it be that the Soviets bought dozens of units? Li Lu sneered.

Jiro Murakami couldn't see through it at all, he was frightened, and smiled awkwardly, "No, no, no......"

Hesitantly glancing at Tanimura Hiroshi, Tanimura nodded slightly, then took over and said, "Mr. Li, the Moscow customer plans to buy four sets of this system, so our offer is six million dollars, and the spare parts and spare parts are calculated separately. ”

Jiro Murakami said, "Also, this is FOB. The customer is responsible for the shipping costs, etc. Mr. Li, please believe that we are very sincere. I am not satisfied with you to say that I came from Moscow for four days and came here directly, and even these technical data and related data are consistent with those given to customers in Moscow. We definitely don't mean to overprice. ”

Li Lu thought for a while and nodded slightly, "Then let's talk about it again." ”

Sitting down again, Jiro Murakami and Hiroshi Tanimura both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Lu said with a deep groan, "As I said just now, our Red Star Company is a large enterprise, with strong strength, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange that can be used. We have a variety of options for purchasing machine tools, even if they are not limited to your Japanese company. As you should know, the Germans were also active. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiro Murakami was even more sure that Red Star Company had a national background. Can use hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign exchange, is this the strength of any Chinese enterprise? Apparently not.

Such a misunderstanding made Jiro Murakami and even Toshiba not dare to think carefully about this transaction, such as some habitual tricks of pit damage, which were secretly put away. However, with Li Lu here, they want to take advantage of the limited vision caused by the blockade of Huaxia for decades to make money, which is impossible, and maybe they will be backhanded back by Li Lu.

He could never have imagined that the Red Star Company had just completed a business with the Iranian Puda Company, holding hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange, and with the help of the Red Star Defense Company, the Red Star Company had a certain right to use foreign exchange. It's not a national background, and the purchase of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools is completely Li Lu's idea, and even others don't know.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, we are very aware of the situation, so please be assured that Toshiba is very sincere." Jiro Murakami also bowed while sitting and said.

Li Lu smiled and said, "Then give me another offer." ”

Jiro Murakami and Hiroshi Tanimura looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "We will give you an offer of six million dollars, referring to the conditions of the Moscow customer." Of course, this includes services such as skilled worker training. Mr. Li, you only buy one set, so this price is a great reflection of our sincerity. ”

Li Lu smiled, "Who said I only bought one?" ”
