Chapter 173: Buying Flying Fish

Alina, the sales manager of the missile division in charge of defense systems at the French aerospace corporation, has been informed that the delegation from Iraq, His Excellency Qusay, is coming here again to discuss with her about the purchase of Exocet missiles.

Alina, the French name derived from Old German, means noble, and in reality, Manager Alina is indeed noble, and she offered the Iraqis a sky-high price for Exocet missiles.

Exocet missiles have just begun to enter the market, and the initial investment has not been taken back, besides, now the orders in France can be used for the company's production for a year, that is to say, the current Exocet does not worry about not being able to sell, besides, there are people from Pakistan, Argentina and other countries to buy, and the unit price is not low.

Therefore, those small countries only bought so many dozen, for example, Argentina, bought a total of 15 Exocet missiles, but after this system passed, training pilots was a big expense, only 15 of them, God knows what the military of that country thought.

Looking at Iraq, it is different, not only do you have to buy a large number of them, but you also have to buy a production line to go back, which means that the other side very much approves of the company's anti-ship missiles.

Although missiles are a bit more expensive, a $1 million missile can destroy a warship worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Therefore, Alina is full of confidence in this business, and she also learned that the old man of Dassault and this Qusay hit it off, and the other party actually funded the purchase of the Mirage 4000 fighter jet that Dassault is still developing with its own funds, and the military and political axes are not very supportive, and before it succeeded, she promised to buy the production line.

When it comes to business, Alina doesn't hesitate.

After this deal is negotiated, she will definitely get a generous year-end commission for making a lot of money for the company, and it will be very easy to be promoted again when the time comes.

This woman is really menopause! Zhang Feng suddenly burst out with a sentence.

Sarah, who was in the front row, suddenly changed her face, but asked softly, "Your Excellency Qusay, who are you talking about?" ”

Sarah would be very happy if it was Ajelina, but if it was herself, then she would definitely have to ask!

"Of course, it's the old lady in charge of sales at the aerospace company." Zhang Feng said: "The asking price is so ruthless, aren't you afraid of scaring the buyers away?" There must be no French man to soak her, she is an old virgin of menopause. ”

"Your Excellency Qusay, pay attention to your form, you are a big man in Iraq, how can you speak so bluntly?" Sarah knew that what she said had nothing to do with her, so she was relieved.

Zhang Feng frowned, why is the difference between this French woman and a French woman so big!

Soon, the convoy came to the aerospace company.

If you don't know in advance, I'm afraid everyone will think that the president is coming, and looking at the specifications of this convoy, there are as many as ten police cars alone.

Zhang Feng's attack on the streets of Paris made the French feel very embarrassed, so they sent him more strict protection, if something happened again, the police station in Paris would have to be replaced.

Alina stood outside the huge bay window, wearing a well-fitting professional suit, looking at the convoy outside, with a smile on her face.

"Your Excellency Qusay, you are very welcome." In the conference hall, Alina looked at Qusay, who was sitting opposite, and said.

The other party brought more than a dozen people this time, it seems that they are here to discuss the specific details, and then they are ready to sign the contract, Alina opened the clip, and inside, the original and copy of the contract have been prepared, and a large order of hundreds of millions of dollars is about to be taken down by her.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I heard that you were attacked by gangsters on the streets of Paris the other day, God willing, you are safe and sound."

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Bless me is Allah Almighty, we don't believe in God." ”

Alina realized that she had said the wrong thing, but her face did not change at all, and said: "Your Excellency Qusay, our Exocet missile is very suitable for the Mirage F1 fighter equipped by your Air Force, as long as you upgrade the fire control software, it can be guided, and when your Air Force is equipped with a powerful Mirage 4000 in the future, it can also be integrated into it, it is a powerful missile for your country's sea attack, although Iran has a strong navy, in front of the Exocet missile, it can only be sunk!" ”

"Yes, I have no doubt about the surname of the Exocet missile, I just have a headache about the price of the Exocet missile, this price is a bit high!" Zhang Feng said.

"Then Your Excellency Qusay, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Do you think we can accept how much money we can sell to us without losing too much to your company?"

Both sides are probing each other's bottom line, and Alina knows that if she wants the other party to sign a contract, she must reduce the price and give some benefits, although this is a seller's market.

In later generations, in order to sell a few Mirage fighters, Dassault stuffed countless black money and bribed countless relevant personnel to get it, this is the buyer's market, after all, the other party has a lot to choose from.

In the end, it was Zhang Feng who spoke first, breaking the circle of chickens laying eggs and eggs hatching chickens.

"$30 million for the production line and $800,000 for a missile."

Alina felt that her eyes were dark, and the other party really dared to bargain, she asked for $200 million for the production line, and $1.5 million for a missile. The other party's bargaining price is more than doubled!

"No, Your Excellency Qusay, you must know that you are buying the most advanced missiles in the world, and we can also provide the best after-sales service in the world to help your country train its personnel. The production line will be at least 180 million, and 1.3 million missiles. Alina said.

"No, the production line is too expensive." Zhang Feng said: "The production line of F-20 fighter jets I purchased from the United States is only 200 million US dollars, which is so expensive and not cost-effective. ”

"Then you can use the F-20 to ram the enemy warship directly?"

Damn, damn French mother-in-law, do you think Lao Tzu is a kamikaze? Zhang Feng scolded secretly in his heart.

"All kinds of weapons have their own uses, although this production line is expensive, but this missile is completely worth the money, a missile can sink thousands of tons of enemy warships, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as long as you sink one, this cost will be back." Alina analyzed.

"No, that's too expensive, no matter if the warship is hundreds of millions of dollars, it's the enemy's, I sink it, and these hundreds of millions of dollars can't go into my pocket, it's too expensive." Zhang Feng said.

"A maximum of 170 million, no less." Alina said that this was her bottom line.

"Then I don't want the production line." Zhang Feng changed the topic: "I only need missiles, buy more of them, a hundred!" 800,000, 100 missiles, that's 80 million, that's enough for the budget. ”

Alina's eyelids began to jump, she originally thought that the production line could make a lot of money, but the asking price was too ruthless, and the other party didn't want it?

However, she also thought very quickly, and continued: "The missiles are still 1.3 million, and they must not be cheap." ”

The two sides had been arguing about the price just now, and the scene was very intense, almost exhausting Sarah as a translator, but after hearing the final price of the missile, His Excellency Qusay suddenly fell silent.

Alina began to retreat in her heart, could it be that the other party also thinks that the price of missiles is high?

In the middle of the sound, Zhang Feng finally spoke: "Unexpectedly, I came thousands of miles to warm and friendly France to discuss business with you, but you are so insincere, then, we have to suspend this transaction." ”? Although she has experienced many big scenes, Alina can't help but feel depressed, seeing that the business with a profit of nearly 100 million dollars is going to be ruined like this?

"Your Excellency Qusay, I didn't understand what you meant." Alina said.

"The missiles your company sold to Argentina are only a million dollars, right? And the other party only bought fifteen pieces, how did they sell it to us, and it rose to 1.3 million? Zhang Feng asked.

Alina was very surprised, this is very top-secret business information, Argentina's Exocet missile was purchased together with the Super Flag fighter and sold as a bundle, so it was sold cheaper, how did the other party know?

Of course, Zhang Feng knew that at this time, a project with a total amount of 160 million US dollars included 14 fighter jets and 15 Exocets, but before the outbreak of the Falklands War, a total of 5 Exocets were delivered, which was also an opportunity for him to make money. In later generations, when the flying fish matured, the final selling price was only 200,000 US dollars.

Now, it's time to use it as bargaining capital.

"Argentina is in a special situation, they also bought fighter jets." Alina said.

"Then do I have to explain to Dassault and ask them to negotiate with you?" Zhang Feng asked: "I also bought a French fighter jet, why can't I enjoy the same treatment?" I very much doubt the sincerity of your company. ”

Alina finally surrendered: "Okay, at the same price as Argentina, one million." ”

"I want a hundred, such a huge amount, give some discounts, right?" Zhang Feng said: "Then I will suffer some losses, 850,000 pieces, if I can't make a deal, then I have to give up." ”

Alina quickly calculated in her mind, the cost of the Exocet missile is only 300,000 US dollars now, plus the cost of research and development, these 850,000 can also earn 400,000, 100, that is, 40 million, which is also a good performance, it seems that people still can't be too greedy.

"Okay, let's make a deal." Alina said.

"I have one more request." Zhang Feng said.

Still have requirements? Alina didn't know what the other party would say, this business was too difficult to talk about.

"Your country needs to deliver 20 missiles to us first, for the training and testing of the Air Force, it must be fast, and at the same time, we will pay for these 20 missiles in advance, and the rest will be paid together after all are delivered." Zhang Feng said.

We must get these missiles before the Falklands War starts, otherwise, France will announce the freezing of the contract for Exocet missiles at that time, and it will be in vain, and after France freezes, then the remaining missiles will have a reason not to be. I don't know if this is the trick for this menopausal shrewd sales manager?

"Okay, no problem." Alina didn't know that the other party had this idea, and although the final agreement was different from what was originally expected, it still satisfied her.
