[21] Collect the rags

It is said that Xiaoqiang finally connected with the African ambassador here, and the two sides agreed to come out for a meal. So Zhou Lan ordered a bag at the Imperial Zhenfang on the edge of Tiananmen Square, which is much more expensive than South Beauty, and the per capita consumption of more than 3,000 is considered normal, Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and prepared to bleed, anyway, his brother is also the master who is used to bleeding.

Xiao Qiang and Zhou Lan greeted the ambassador and his wife at the door of the hotel, and after leading the guests to the private room to sit down, during the banquet, Xiao Qiang simply said two polite sentences, and said straightforwardly:

"Mr. Ambassador, I have a customer who wants to buy Chinese arms, but due to international pressure, he does not want to arouse unnecessary suspicion from neighboring countries, so he hopes to be able to undertake this business through a third country. My assistant Zhou Lan should have briefed you on this matter before. This is actually a nominal agent, you don't have to worry about the specific operation process, of course, I will not let you help in vain, we intend to set up a charitable foundation in your country, all the rights and management of the foundation are entrusted to the person you designate, we are only responsible for the contribution. This amount of money will account for 3% of the transaction, what do you think? ”

The ambassador put down his chopsticks, was silent for a while, and said, "Can I know which country?" ”

Xiaoqiang said: "I'm sorry, we have rules in this industry, and if the customer asks for confidentiality, I can't disclose it without authorization." It can be revealed that this country is not in Africa. And what they hope to import are relatively low-end conventional weapons, which will not upset the balance of the surrounding military liliang. ”

The ambassador said: "Does the Chinese side know who the deal is? ”

Xiaoqiang said: "I don't know, our client doesn't want to leave any talk on this matter, so we decided to do the transaction through an intermediary." The transaction amount is several hundred million, Mr. Ambassador, I just need you to give us a name. ”

The ambassador looked moved, and his wife's eyes sparkled. After all, if you provide a name, you can get a lot of commissions, and if you miss such a good thing, there will be no store in this village.

"How can I trust you?" The ambassador asked hesitantly. He very much hopes that this is true, once this deal is reached, it means that he can make this term of office a golden year in his life, he is no longer young, if he can earn this expensive commission, he will have the second half of his life and even the second half of his children's life.

"It's a check for 1 million. Follow-up fees will be paid after the transaction is concluded. You can rest assured that if it goes well, we will become a stable trading partner in the future. To tell you the truth, I am an international arms broker, and my customer resources are all over the world, and we will cooperate for a long time in the future. Xiao Qiang straightened his chest and bowed his head, and patted the check in front of the ambassador very stylishly, and shamelessly muttered.

The Ambassador's wife immediately put the cheque in her handbag. Xiaoqiang smiled and made up his mind, understanding that this matter was already half done.

"This commission percentage is so small that I think it's worth the risk of at least 5 percent," the ambassador said. ”

Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Mr. Ambassador, this is a completely risk-free business, and the reason why I chose you is also because considering that your country and my customers have nothing to do with each other, so this money is God's blessing to you, how many people on Shijie want such an easy opportunity to make a fortune." ”

"Well, I think 4% is still acceptable as a gift from God." The ambassador picked up the cup and looked into Xiao Qiang's eyes, he was watching Xiao Qiang's reaction.

“3.5%！ To tell you the truth, if you exceed this percentage, I won't make any money, I'm sticking to you with my own money! Xiao Qiang raised his wine glass with a look of embarrassment.

The ambassador's eyes lit up, and he quickly put the cup up and touched it, and said in proficient Mandarin: "Deal!" ”

Don't say it, this person, once he sees the opportunity to make a fortune and decides to do something, he is surprisingly diligent. At the dinner table here, Xiao Qiang just explained Jihua and Ambassador Mambi clearly. On the night of his return to the embassy, at the instigation of his wife, Mahambi sent a secret note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, expressing the hope that a batch of Jian-6 fighters and some army equipment would be secretly introduced. Considering that this was a secret request, the staff on duty at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurriedly reported to Xiangshang, so the next morning, Mr. Ambassador was invited to meet and discuss.

The ambassador hurriedly called Xiaoqiang to inform him, so the two rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They were received by a Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a Senior Colonel of the Ministry of Defence*.

After introduction, the officer's name was Li Mubai, and he was a Jishu official in charge of arms exports. The two sides went straight to the point.

"What equipment do you want to buy?" Li Mubai asked.

"Now it is preliminarily set to be a J-6 fighter." Xiaoqiang hurriedly replied.

The ambassador added on the side: "Mr. Cao is the Jishu guide of our country's secret arms procurement, and I have carte blanche to entrust Mr. Cao as our representative, and in order to show our sincerity, we can pay a deposit of 10 million yuan in advance." After Xiaoqiang finished speaking according to the score, Mr. Ambassador left the venue first. The director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Li Mubai were left standing a little stunned.

The two receptionists, who had been relieved from their confusion for a long time, saw that the 10 million check that Xiaoqiang put on the table was true, but this kind of thing had never been done before, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so the director ran to ask his superiors and left Li Mubai and Xiaoqiang to negotiate.

"The J-6 is a good aircraft, we can help your country carry out modern avionics modification, which should be able to meet your country's air defense requirements, and our country has other more advanced fighters, such as the J-10." Li Mubai wanted to brag about the Jian-6, but he also knew that the Jian-6 had been completely retired from our army, and it was not advanced in the international community. The heart said that it is better to sell some of the main products that are now hot-selling, and it is not easy for African brothers to make some money.

"I want to ask, if you don't do avionics modifications, you only need to be able to fight with cannons What is the price of the J-6, which is the kind that the country is stacking in the storage base now." Xiaoqiang asked

Li Mubai sighed in his heart at that time: "Come on, this African brother Yujian is a liar, can those old planes be compared with the new models in service now?" If you don't want avionics modification, what are you going to do? When the target is used? Even if you are a target machine, the transformation fee is more expensive than buying a new target machine. Is it worth it? ”

As if seeing Li Mubai's doubts, Xiaoqiang explained unhurriedly: "Big brother, small African countries don't have enough money, and they can only buy a dozen planes if they buy a good plane, and they are looking for quantity, do you understand?" Quantity! Xiaoqiang wiped the spit on his lips, and said in his heart that he would be out today, and he would not fool you down, buddy's task is to be yellow.

"People very much appreciate the spirit of our army's fighting bayonets in the air, and hope to take the introduction of Jian-6 as an opportunity to practice flying skills and improve quality with quantity. Make up for jishu's shortcomings with fighting spirit. To tell you the truth, don't talk about J-6, it's J-5, as long as you can fly and fight, people want it too. Xiaoqiang paused for a moment and continued: "Big brother, you treat me as a rag, package and sell me the weapons left over after our army's production and decommissioning, which is also good for the country. Isn't that a win-win! ”

Li Mubaixin said that you are really cheeky enough, Tian shamelessly blindfolded the head of Africa, and came here to fool me again, but what this kid said is also true, it is indeed a good thing for our country that the eliminated equipment can find buyers, first of all, it saves storage and maintenance costs, and secondly, it turns waste into treasure, in exchange for funds can support the modernization of our army, it is indeed the best of both worlds.

"Don't know what your total budget is?" Li Mubai asked Xiaoqiang cautiously.

"RMB cash payment, the total budget is more than 700 million, and there will be no arrears!" Xiaoqiang said confidently.

Li Mubai's mind buzzed and he was stunned. This is an order of more than 100 million US dollars, and I and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs originally thought that such a small African country would spend at most one or two million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, to buy some guns. You must know that in 2010, China's total arms exports were only 1.87 billion US dollars.

"This order is too big, it has exceeded my processing authority, and I need to consult my superiors." Li Mubai said calmly.

"Okay, I'll wait here." Xiaoqiang is kraft candy, just sit and don't leave, time is too precious, he doesn't want to delay for a minute.

Li Mubai couldn't laugh or cry at Xiao Qiang's stickiness, but he was afraid that the God of Wealth would be the slightest dissatisfied, so he thought about it for a while and said to Xiao Qiang: "Then you can go back to the Ministry of National Defense with me." ”

followed Li Mubai to the building of the Ministry of National Defense, Xiao Qiang stayed in the reception room to drink tea, and after waiting for less than ten minutes, Li Mubai walked out behind a major general about 50 years old.

Li Mubai stepped forward and said, "Mr. Cao, let me introduce you, this is General Yuan, the enemy of Yuan Kedi." General Yuan, this is the plenipotentiary representative of Equatorial Guinea for arms procurement, Mr. Cao Xiaoqiang. ”

General Yuan warmly shook hands with Xiaoqiang and said, "Mr. Cao is not simple, he has vast magical powers, he can gain the trust of a country, and entrust such an important task as military procurement to you, you are the pride of our Chinese." ”

Xiaoqiang hurriedly said: "Where, where, I am just an international master, thanks to the trust and care of foreign friends, I just eat with a mouthful of food." ”

General Yuan squinted and looked at Xiaoqiang with a smile, and said in his heart that this kid is not simple, if he can win a country's arms import business, he has to be able to reach the sky in the country.

After the two sides sat down and poured tea, they began to enter the following negotiations.

General Yuan said tentatively: "Mr. Cao, I heard Mu Bai say, are you interested in the J-6 or even J-5 fighters?" You really have a vision, to say that this Jian-5-Jian-6 is really a good aircraft, cheap and good, very suitable for the national defense needs of underdeveloped countries. ”

Xiao Qiangqiang sweated, thinking: "Don't fight haha, you old man, you know much more than me what the situation is with the fifth master and the sixth master of this scum." Pair up with the current new fighters, and you have to be taken down before you can see them."

General Yuan saw Xiaoqiang nodded, so he continued: "Over the years, the old ones in the J-5 and J-6 prototypes have been dismantled, and the rest have been converted into target aircraft and unmanned aircraft, and there are still 157 J-5s currently available; The J-5A is an improved night fighter based on the J-5, equipped with radar, and there are currently 112 of them; Plus 34 Jianjiao V, a total of 303. The leader considers that these planes are indeed on the verge of obsolescence, and they are afraid that they will break down if they continue to pile up like this, but many of these remaining planes have undergone some minor jishu modifications over the years, and they are no longer the same as they were in the sixties, so it is not expensive to count you only 300,000 per plane. In addition, a commissioning fee of 50,000 yuan will be charged for each machine, and the ground test car will be guaranteed to be available before delivery. In addition, the J-5 is equipped with a 37mm cannon (40 rounds of ammunition), two 23mm cannons (160 rounds of ammunition), we will help you complete the debugging to ensure that it is available, the current ammunition is sufficient, the library is stored for you, about 4 bases per machine can be equipped with, these cannons plus ammunition each machine to add another 100,000. After speaking, General Yuan looked at Xiao Qiang with some hesitation, he was really a little weak-hearted.

Sure enough, after listening to him, Xiao Qiang immediately shouted: "General Yuan, please make a real price!" It's all Chinese, I collect garbage to help you clear your inventory, don't open your mouth, now it will cost more than 130 million ah, so let's do it, I'll give 100 million, and equip me with a full set of maintenance equipment, but also the original design drawings of the aircraft. ”

General Yuan took a sip of tea unhurriedly and continued: "Don't panic about the price, Mr. Cao's budget is so large, it should be more than just buying some Jian-5-Jian-6, right?" ”

Xiaoqiang said: "That's true, my client hopes to use these budgets to comprehensively improve his military strength as much as possible, especially hoping to make a leap in order of magnitude, and he doesn't care too much about the advanced nature of weapons." I don't know what General Yuan suggests? ”
