Chapter 237: An agreement reached
After scolding for more than 20 minutes, Lin Qing's anger has also disappeared for the most part, he was angry just now, in addition to anger or anger in his mind, his mind has been affected by his emotional lock, but now that the anger has slowly subsided, Lin Qing began to calm down, his appearance just now was indeed a little angry, not in line with his current identity, he couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, demeanor This thing needs to be accumulated over many years.

After taking a sip of water, Lin Qing calmed down and thought about the problem carefully, and quickly figured out the key to the problem.
But after figuring out this, Lin Qing ran to tell the Dutch: "Friends, don't cheat me, I am the earl of the Netherlands, Palawan is my private island, I have opened up territory for you, you should support meγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Lin Qing knew that if he told the Dutch government that he was the boss behind Palawan, what was waiting for him was not assistance, but endless suppression, or even joint suppression, this was Lin Qing's intuition, although he didn't know why, but Lin Qing has always believed in his intuition, his intuition has always been very accurate, and his intuition has saved him several times, and he has never made a mistake.
After figuring out the crux of the problem, Lin Qing's mood relaxed, he was indeed cautious just now, because the Dutch government wanted to slaughter himself as a fat sheep, but he didn't take into account that the Dutch government didn't know about his Palawan relationship at all.
Lin Qing, who was in a better mood, kissed Kolos twice on the face, and secretly swore in his heart that he must let this Dutch supermodel know that he was powerful at night and ravage the Dutch goddess on the bed.
Lin Qing was taken aback by this idea of his own, when did he become so obscene, how could he have the illusion of lying on the ground and doing the earth?
After calming down his mood, the expression on Lin Qing's face just now that others owed me hundreds of thousands was gone, the corners of his mouth were raised, a smile was hung, and he walked into the study with a smile.
When he walked into the study again, Colonel Wilson also had a smile on his face, obviously he had communicated with the people above just now, and it seemed that good progress should be made, otherwise, he would not be in such a good mood, obviously this business can be done.
Lin Qing walked back to his seat, lit the cigar again, and looked at Johnson: "Mr. Colonel, how did you talk to the above?" β
"I've gained more authority, and this time I have full control over the negotiations." Wilson smiled, an unfathomable smile on his face.
Lin Qing took a puff of smoke rings and nodded: "This is the best, after all, this batch of goods is very urgent for the Palawan government, and I don't want to delay it for too long, I hope that in the next negotiations, our differences will not be too big." β
"Of course, Mr. Earl, may I venture to say that you can really call the shots in this matter? After all, the construction of a military port is not an ordinary matter, he is involved in many aspects, I am afraid that if we sign a treaty, but the Barra government is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" After speaking, Johnson also made a gesture of spreading his hands, and there was some uncertainty in his tone, and there were still some doubts in his heart, after all, the construction of a military port was such a big thing, and it was entrusted to an outsider, either the people of the Palawan Free Democratic Republic were crazy, or the leaders of the Palawan Free Democratic Republic had a big heart.
Lin Qing didn't care about Johnson's skeptical tone, after all, it was indeed a bit unbelievable to say this, he just glanced up at him, and said lightly: "You can write this into the contract, if the Palawan government does not take out a loan to the Dutch government to build two military docks, the price of F16 fighters is 20 million US dollars each, including the three warships we just talked about, I will also buy them in full according to the price you said before!" What do you think? β
Hearing Lin Qing's words, Wilson already showed a bright smile on his face, since Lin Qing dared to make such a guarantee, then it can only prove one thing, that is, Lin Qing has been twelve points sure, the Palawan government agrees to this matter, Wilson and the others no longer doubt it, after all, if this clause is written into the contract, Lin Qing can't even regret it, after all, government contracts are different from private contracts, and if you don't run anywhere, someone will help you catch it and execute it.
"So now that we're talking about the price of the F16, I guess you shouldn't be a fantasy, right? 20 million F16s, I think it's one of the funniest jokes I've heard this year, you say? Welsh Colonel? β
Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, and there was still a little anger in his tone, obviously still angry at Wilson's price of 20 million F16 just now.
Wilson smiled a little embarrassed, in fact, he felt a little embarrassed in his own heart, this price is really outrageous, but this is business, I can ask for a price, you can also sit on the ground and bargain.
However, the price issue is still to be explained, and the F16 fighters for sale in the Netherlands here refer to the old F16 fighters that have been in service with the Royal Dutch Air Force for more than two decades, not those new F16 fighters that leave the factory.
The F16 fighter jets on the market are very expensive, most of them are at 6000W dollars or more, and the UAE has spent $80 million to buy the latest upgrade of F16, F16EF, of course, only countries like the UAE can buy it.
F16 sales are divided into three kinds, the first is that the contractor directly supplies the national air force, excluding the development costs, the price is the cheapest, this price has no F16 price that can be referred to, the price of F16CD was $18 million when it was discontinued in the mid-90s, and now it is $2,500 now due to inflation.
The second is the conventional export model, in which the development costs and the contractor's additional profits are shared, and the average American price will be around $38 million.
The third is export and life-cycle maintenance and support services, mainly for some countries that are technologically backward and unable to maintain their own air force equipment, or countries that are relatively distant from the United States, are not allowed to maintain American aircraft, so as to ensure that internal technology will not be outflowed, and this price is 50 million US dollars.
These three modes are all brand new F16, or F16 with a short service time, and the Netherlands is about to retire F16 is different, the Dutch F16 engine has almost been used for many years, to put it mildly, it is almost a bit of a disposable, if there is a little problem, it can be scrapped, just like the Lamborghini that has just left the factory for 3.2 million, but what about after ten years? Are you ready to sell 320w, will anyone ask for it?
And not only for these reasons, but also fighters that have been in service for a long time, there are basically more or less problems, and the equipment of the Yankees is notoriously troublesome, requiring all kinds of maintenance, after buying the F16, there are supporting maintenance facilities, which cost money, and it is not cheaper than buying a fighter.
"Eight million dollars!" Colonel Wilson broke out a price, Lin Qing looked at him, but did not continue to speak, still looking at Wilson with a calm face.
"Mr. Earl, you must know that the price of the new F16 fighter jet is now around 50 million US dollars, and the price of 8 million US dollars is already very favorable!" After Wilson looked at Lin Qing with an unmoved look, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Lin Qing shook his head: "Colonel Wilson, you said it yourself just now, it is a brand new F16, and what you sold me is an old product that has been in service for more than 20 years, and there is no comparison at all." β
"Mr. Earl, you should also see our sincerity, the price of eight million dollars is already the lowest price, if it is lower, this business will be aborted, this is our low price!" Wilson added the word low price, which could not have been lower.
Lin Qing and he argued for about half an hour, and finally decided on $7.8 million for one F-16, and at the same time, the Dutch government wanted to package and give away 10 air-to-air combat missiles and two air-to-ground missiles for each set of aircraft.
After that, the business was much simpler, it was all some light weapons, and some inconsequential things, basically there were not too many disagreements, after all, the profits were too small, and finally after three hours of negotiations, the two sides reached a consensus, and in the process of discussion, the Dutch military sent a new contract.
The previous contract did not include the Palawan government's treaty on the construction of a military port, this contract is redone, and there is no difference from the previous one, but in the last article it is written in bold, the goods will be handed over to one-third first, and after the Palawan government and the Dutch government formally sign an agreement on the construction of a military port, the remaining two-thirds of the arms will be shipped out, and if the Palawan government and the Dutch government have not signed a treaty on the construction of a military port, Lin Qing will buy 20 Dutch government F16 fighter jets for $20 million, the cruiser Admiral Grau for $700 million, and two Cotton-Ayle-class frigates for $1 billion.
Not only that, but the Dutch government also verified Lin Qing's assets, and after determining that Lin Qing had the ability to pay these things in full, they signed an agreement with Lin Qing, otherwise Lin Qing would have no money at that time, so they could only be dumbfounded, to catch it or not to catch it? Do you want him to obey or not?
When the two sides officially signed the contract, the weather has begun to become very bleak, starting to negotiate in the afternoon, until it gets dark, although it is not as intense as the negotiation in the movie, but it is also very energy-consuming, but after talking about a large order of more than a billion dollars, Wilson has always had a smile on his face since he signed it, and he did not refuse Lin Qing's request to stay for him to eat.
