Chapter 1214 The tacit understanding between the two sides?
"That's too unlikely." If there is a problem with his own people, Duan Hu seems that this is impossible, he has followed Xiao Yang to the inner country in China, and some comrades-in-arms have been selected into the Security Bureau before, so he has a certain understanding of related affairs.
In a place like the highest administrative center of the country, even the cleaning is a political trial again and again, not to mention that the eighteen generations of the ancestors are innocent, but within three generations it is absolute, in this case, how can there be people with problems? It's just that he knows that there are no absolutes in anything, so he didn't say anything to death.
"It's really unlikely, so I said ah, it's very difficult."
ββ¦β¦β
Being in a foreign country, the necessary safety measures were definitely needed, and when the car left the sentry gate, another car parked on the side of the road outside quickly cut into the front, and the two cars blended into the traffic one after the other.
The South Peninsula is in East Asia, and the relationship with the North Peninsula is not only tense, but also with the island countries, the island countries have purchased the latest fighters of the United States, in order to keep the aviation power from being weakened, this procurement is quite important to them, so in the conditions proposed by the United States, they do not want to be too entangled.
After a few days, Xiao Yang entered and exited the White House, and then communicated through Oman and the South Peninsula, and soon the two sides reached a preliminary consensus.
After receiving a verbal reply from the White House, Xiao Yang rushed to Loma's headquarters as soon as possible.
Loma's headquarters is in Bethesda, Maryland, just a few dozen kilometers from Washington, D.C., and it is not the first time he has been here, and the two cars drove over in less than an hour.
Compared with the various requirements of the White House, Loma is easy to say, for them, whether the government will allow the sale is the biggest trouble, and some other products, in order to be able to sell, they may also carry out public relations to the government, the current situation is equivalent to Xiao Yang has solved this problem for them, and what remains for them is whether the buyer's conditions on the product and after-sales can be met.
In line with the idea of getting more benefits for customers, Xiao Yang did not be casual in the negotiations with Loma, but seriously talked with them, fighting what should be argued, of course not fighting, and he didn't bother to make that effort.
The language of the operating system, some habitual settings, and then training and so on, these are some things that the two sides don't need to fight about, and after two contacts, it is basically negotiated, and the rest is the biggest disagreement: the price issue.
Unlike other state-owned military enterprises, Loma is private, and when state-owned military enterprises sell products, the money is equal to the state, but private enterprises, it is different, and the White House will allow such transactions to occur in vain?
To put it bluntly, they have a part of the transaction amount, which is required.
In this way, the price of the fighter will definitely be high.
The South Peninsula is not without a little understanding of this matter, after all, there are island countries first, although this kind of thing is not much comparable, but it is no problem to make a reference, the price proposed by Loma, even Xiao Yang feels that it is ridiculously expensive, how can the South Peninsula accept it?
"This Mi people are really ruthless, compared to the original price of the island people, how can the South Peninsula accept it?" After getting Loma's reply, Xiao Yang didn't say anything, but immediately called Aman after going back.
"Can't you?" Oman was very surprised by this, "On the island side, the technology is counted together, and it is not cheap in the first place, and the South Peninsula side has not sought technology, so it should be so high?" They won't be able to accept it. What do the people of this country think? It's obvious that he's bullying them. β
"How do I know?" Xiao Yang frowned and hesitated, "When you were in the Southern Peninsula at the time, did they have any other expressions in this regard?" β
Aman thought for a moment, "I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that I think about it, they don't seem so determined." β
Made. Xiao Yang scolded in his heart, don't they have any dark market agreement, right? If that's the case, then what is it to play with? After all the negotiations before, didn't he perform like a monkey?
After thinking about it, you think it's impossible, because there is no need for both sides to do this, and whether it is their contact with the White House or with Loma in the past two days, both sides are thinking about negotiations, and it doesn't seem like they are perfunctory at all.
If there had been an agreement between the two sides, then the White House and Loma's side, no matter how much they covered it up, would not have been able to show a little clue.
So......
"Maybe there's something we didn't know about this." He said.
"Huh?" Aman didn't understand why he said that, "What do you mean?" β
"About the price." Xiao Yang told him his thoughts, "Maybe there is something in the middle of this that makes the people of the United States come up with this price, and the South Peninsula side also expects it." β
The South Peninsula is one of the countries with the largest number of overseas troops stationed in the United States, and the relationship between the two countries is complicated, and it is also possible that something involves fighter planes in the middle, Oman thought about it and said: "There is this possibility, but if you want to inquire about it, it must be difficult to ......."
"That's for sure, but I don't think we need to inquire at all, you just tell them the offer of the United States and see how they react?"
"It's a really good idea." Aman smiled and looked at his watch, "It's not the right time now, it's a little late, I'll call over, you wait for my news." β
Due to the time difference, it was nearly ten hours before Xiao Yang received a call from Oman.
"Your judgment should be correct before, but it is clear that this price is too much beyond their expectations, according to this price, they are unlikely to accept it, if they don't lower the price a little, then there is a ...... to talk about"
Xiao Yang didn't expect to waste a few months of his life on this matter, the last time the anti-missile system was negotiated, it almost didn't make him crazy, this matter will take a few months, and he doesn't want to come here if he has nothing to do.
He sighed and said, "Alas...... It seems that I have to work hard tomorrow, you ask the big dog to prepare some information for me, before tomorrow morning, I want to see, what specific information, I will send you a message. β
"No problem."
The next day, Xiao Yang canceled the original meeting with Loma in the morning, but stayed in the hotel to study the information sent by Mi Qilin, and after reading for a long time, he finally found some clues, and finally knew how to lower the price to Loma.
In the afternoon, the people who were in contact with Loma continued, and he said his reasons, but Loma did not refuse bluntly, which made him know that there was a chance to reduce the price, and he couldn't help but thank Mi Qilin for collecting all the information.
If it weren't for the detailed information he had gathered, he would never have thought of anything, and he would not have found a reason to convince Loma to make a concession.
In fact, Loma and the South Peninsula government have some unknown reasons in the matter of price, Xiao Yang's reason, so that Loma is a little surprised, they are very sure that the South Peninsula side, even if it will delay the negotiations, will not say the reason, so how did Xiao Yang know?
When Xiao Yang left, they immediately contacted the White House.
The White House knows Xiao Yang better than Loma, and from the negotiation records, they can judge that Xiao Yang found these things himself, not someone revealed them to him.
"Let's make a reasonable concession, he doesn't know much now, that's why he said that, if he doesn't give in, maybe he will continue to investigate...... Those things, he had better not know, he is a smart man, as long as his purpose is achieved, he will definitely not investigate again. The people in the White House said this to the people in Loma.
In this way, early the next morning, Xiao Yang received a call from Loma, saying that he wanted him to come over in the morning to continue talking.
Of course, Loma can't just say how much I'm going to cut the price all at once, and you don't want to "mess around" anymore. So, it took a few more days, and finally ended the price negotiation with a slight concession from the Loma side and a more favorable plan in terms of after-sales and training.
At this time, the time had exceeded Xiao Yang's original expectation of a week.
"Tomorrow the Loma side will sort out the agreement, the two sides agree, it is basically determined, and then just wait for the details of the aspect to be determined before the contract can be signed, the preliminary things are over, but I haven't come back so soon, the day after tomorrow, I will go to meet the representatives of FN and other companies......" Coming back from Loma, Xiao Yang routinely talked about today's results with Oman on the phone.
On Loma's side, they took the initiative to ask Xiao Yang to negotiate two days ago, and the result was already scheduled, and Oman was not surprised that the preliminary negotiations were about to end, and he was concerned about the reaction of FN and other companies.
"It's been a week, and I thought they wouldn't react, maybe they're showing that they know your negotiations?"
It's possible, but Xiao Yang doesn't look at it, and the negotiation with Loma is not a secret thing, if they use this to show their ability, it can only be said that they miscalculated, and he doesn't look at this matter.
"Perhaps...... If it were true, I would think they were naΓ―ve, was this a demonstration to us or something? Even if it were, it wouldn't make a difference to us. β
Aman smiled, "Maybe they're telling us that they have what it takes to sabotage our business." β
Xiao Yang thought for a moment and said disdainfully: "It's possible, but they still expect me to be glad that they didn't destroy it?" β
At this time, they responded, there must be their intentions, ten ** as Aman said, but he still didn't pay attention to it, in the modular rifle project, they can't talk about conflict now, it can only be said that there is competition, in this case, if they destroy their business, it is tantamount to provoking a war between each other, do they really have the ability to bear the consequences of a war between the two sides?
It's definitely impossible, that is to say, at most, their move will show their ability, and the actual effect will not be useful at all, but will only cause disgust to themselves and others.
