Chapter 556: Bargaining

"2.4 billion, dollars." Lake opened his mouth and offered a sky-high price of $2.4 billion, giving full play to the essence of a businessman.

"This is absolutely impossible, the United States has a THAAD system, the production cost is 600 to 700 million US dollars, China has its own defense system, there is Russia's S-400 missile defense system, there is no need for the THAAD system to maintain our homeland security, so I can't accept this price." Li Wei rejected Lake's offer.

"Of course I know that you can't buy it to equip the troops, and you're going to break it down into parts, I'm not wrong." Kedau.

"Mr. Kyle, if we buy THAAD, we can only use it for research, because the American weapons technology does not match China's, and we can use him as a reference at most, that's all." Li Weidao.

"Mr. Li Wei, make a price."

"For $500 million, I want a complete set of command system platforms, fire control radar platforms, and launch platforms, and I can just get one or two missiles." Li Weidao.

"This is impossible, no one will sell you Sade at this price, I think Mr. Li Wei you also understand this truth. Now South Korea has deployed two THAAD missile battalions, and the THAAD system can be connected to the "Aegis" system, so that their defense circle will be expanded several times, and a three-dimensional defense circle of sea, land, and space can be formed, and it can even be extended to your capital. I know, you must have thought of that. Not to be outdone, Lake said.

Lake is indeed right when he says that China buys THAAD. If you get a complete set of systems, you can crack them in depth, and then formulate corresponding targeted measures, if it is difficult to develop a new set of equipment, but if you say that this set of equipment is cracked, China is fully capable of doing it.

And Li Wei didn't tell the truth completely and got THAAD. There is no doubt that it will definitely play a huge role in promoting China's own weapons research and development.

But doing business has always been like this, the buyer is desperately picking faults with things. Show that you don't particularly want it, and the seller is trying to promote his own things, and then say that the other party has a reason to buy it, and the final key point. It's in price.

At last. The two sides only reached a purchase intention, but the final price was never negotiated, Li Wei came out with 750 million US dollars, asked for a complete set of THAAD system, and Lake bit 1.5 billion and did not let go, and the two sides still had a double gap, which is not a small number.

Moreover, both parties have to report the matter to their bosses. They all know that they are not the ones who can make decisions. Moreover, such a large deal cannot be negotiated at one time.

Kyle stood at the window and watched Li Wei get into a jeep and leave the front door of the hotel under the escort of several bodyguards, before sitting back on the couch.

"Kyle, report to the boss, it's you or me." Lake said.

"It's better for you to come, the boss has explained, the transaction is dominated by you, and I am just your deputy." Kedau.

Lake slandered in his heart, deputy, I think it's about the same.

Lake took out his laptop and sent a mailbox about today's meeting and negotiation with the password he had negotiated in advance.

The call is very unsafe, even if there is a confidential phone, it is inevitable to be monitored by the other party, who knows if there is a bug in this room now, there are many means of the Chinese, Kyle and Lake now doubt that the room they live in, the rooms on both sides and opposite are filled with Chinese agents.

In fact, these two guys really guessed correctly, and now this hotel, Kyle, and the entire floor of the guest room where they live have been monitored.

Li Wei didn't believe it at first when he heard that Lake was here to sell the THAAD missile system, but as a super arms dealer's intuition, he could judge that the other party was not here to deliberately deceive him, so Li Wei felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart at that time.

Although he didn't show any emotion on the surface, and he kept haggling with Lake, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he had to win the deal, because it was too important for China.

So as soon as Li Wei came out of the room, he ordered his assistant to arrange for someone to spy on Lake and Kyle, and no matter what, they must not be allowed to escape.

At this moment, Muyang and his party have arrived in Seoul, South Korea, and have taken Sarah for a day, in general, Seoul is a metropolis with a very strong modern atmosphere, but Muyang always feels a little small, of course, this is just his own feeling.

Back at the hotel, Sarah turned on her laptop to check it and found that Kyle had sent an email and showed it to Muyang after using software to crack it.

As for whether it will be tracked from the Internet, there is Sarah, a super hacker, who has transferred countless servers to check the email, and there are really few people who can monitor Sarah's computer.

When he saw that Lake said that he had already told Mu Yang's existence, Mu Yang smiled: "Hehe, Lake is a fool, but it doesn't matter, it can only be said that he still lacks experience in this kind of transaction at the national level." ”

China wants a THAAD system, but it only pays $750 million, and Lake bites $1.5 billion, which is indeed a bit of a big gap. Muyang has learned that the missile system deployed by the United States in South Korea has two missile defense battalions, each of which has six launchers.

The most important command platform vehicle and fire control radar vehicle are the most important components of the THAAD system, and it can also be said that THAAD is the most valuable place, and each battalion only has one set, so China does not value weapons, but the command system and fire control radar system.

Muyang thought about it again, and finally asked Sarah to send back an email, giving the final price, $1 billion, which is the bottom line.

After seeing the bottom line of the offer sent back by Muyang, Lake also breathed a sigh of relief, when Muyang said that the equipment of a battalion was sold for 2.4 billion, Lake felt that it was an impossible task.

In fact, Muyang was just talking at the time, after all, when the United States sold it to South Korea, the price had already doubled, and a set of THAAD system, the U.S. military's own equipment only needed 580 million US dollars, and if it quadrupled to China, it was estimated that someone would be killed directly.

After Li Wei left the hotel, he went directly to the military airport, and he wanted to rush to the capital as quickly as possible to report the matter to the chief in person.

Fortunately, Qingdao is not far from the capital, and the plane arrived in more than an hour, reported to the leader, and then reported layer by layer, and finally arrived at the head of the Military Commission, who made a decision, and if the other party could really get THAAD, he would get it at any cost.
