Chapter 1337 Change
For arms companies, no matter what kind of transaction method the middleman and the final customer is, it does not have much impact on them, anyway, their requirements are still those things, at most there is some price fluctuations.
The business director doesn't think the price is a big deal, the arms business is not so prosperous now, and the company makes some concessions, it's no problem, but out of caution, he didn't agree in one breath, "I will try to raise this point with the company, when will you come over to talk?" ”
Xiao Yang wants to get the domestic affairs done first, because the domestic side is the easiest, "It may take a while, half a month at most, some details, we still need to get the confirmation of the Croatian government, and I will contact you when the time comes." ”
"OK, be sure to contact me before you come, and I'll help you book a hotel."
In the arms business, it often takes half a year and a year to reach a final cooperation, and half a month is already very fast, and the business director expresses great enthusiasm.
No one will miss the two room money, but this attitude is comfortable, Xiao Yang and the other party chatted a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
Mi and Huaguo have been notified, and the next is YDL, the porcupine 155mm self-propelled howitzer is a product of YDL Iveco, when it came out, because of its cute appearance and Iveco's so-called self-proclaimed high-tech equipment, it was ridiculed by many people, but sneering at it, YDL always has their unique personality in terms of weapon design, a little less mainstream shape, what's so funny about this? You must know that this weapon has been shining in peacekeeping missions in recent years.
Otherwise, Croatia would not have chosen this self-propelled gun.
Among the light self-propelled howitzers, the Porcupine 155 is definitely a good product.
High mobility, high protection capability, good power......
At Iveco, Xiao Yang didn't have much contact with them, but Doyle had a good relationship with them, so he called Doyle, told him about Croatia, and then asked him to help contact Iveco.
"Looks like I'm not getting the right message...... Okay, I'll help you contact them and get their people to come to you. Doyle readily agreed, just to help pull the string, for him, it's a gesture.
"Hmm."
Doyle still has a good face in YDL, and called a vice president he knew from Iveco to tell him about the matter, and the other party said that he had contacted Xiao Yang personally.
You must know that although Xiao Yang and they have some reputation, there is no direct business relationship between the two parties, and he does this, but he is quite buying Doyle's face, otherwise, he can send his subordinates.
Xiao Yang received a call, when he heard the self-introduction of the visitor, he was quite surprised, but his head turned slightly, and he realized that this was the role of Doyle, and in the face of the enthusiasm of the visitor, he also spoke in a polite tone, saying that he needed to buy a batch of "porcupines", and then said that he would go over to discuss the details in a week.
The other party got confirmation from his mouth, immediately expressed a warm welcome, and hurriedly said that once the itinerary is confirmed, he must tell him that he will arrange everything in YDL.
Two days later, the plan of the northern company was sent, Xiao Yang took a look, and there was basically no problem, but some details still needed to be discussed, so he set off and returned to China on the same day.
Domestic affairs are best solved, after cooperating for so long, in addition to the principle issues, the northern company has no intention of caring at all, Xiao Yang is the same, two days back, the matter will be resolved, and the final purchase agreement will be sent to Kate, Kate's side has been recognized by the Croatian government in the shortest possible time.
After receiving the news, Xiao Yang sighed at the power of money, if it was under normal circumstances, how could there be such a speed?
The office of any country, not to mention the efficiency of its own work, just those normal processes are more than this time.
On the fourth day of his return to China, he left the country and flew directly to YDL.
Time was relatively tight, Xiao Yang did not go to Doyle's house this time, but only went to Fenmecanica to meet Doyle for a short time, and then went to Iveco.
Although Iveco is a weapons manufacturer, it is not a professional weapon manufacturer, and their products are pitifully few compared to other companies such as Finmecanica.
Xiao Yang was quite famous in the private arms dealership business, and when they arrived at the group headquarters, they immediately felt the enthusiasm of Iveco.
He doesn't particularly care about these, but some things, whether to do or not to do, must be two feelings, this time they are really going to get a cold reception, and they will definitely not let anyone promote the products of the Iveco Group in the future.
Therefore, there are some things that are not something that others care about or not, but that you should have your own attitude.
Iveco has deep experience in armored vehicles and artillery, Centaur self-propelled guns, ram main battle tanks, Otto 76 mm naval gun series, etc., are some of the industry's most famous products, from a certain point of view, porcupine 155 mm seems to be a little backward, but after Iveco's technical integration, the product is still quite advanced.
For example, ammunition systems, automatic ammunition feeding systems, and so on...... It was enough for the porcupine to be the best among light self-propelled guns.
Of course, this self-propelled cannon is not without shortcomings, the biggest disadvantage of the porcupine is probably its firing range, due to the huge recoil, the gun can only fire in the range of fifteen degrees around the central axis, and cannot do three hundred and sixty degrees, so that the reaction time is increased, and in an emergency, there is still something that cannot be caught.
However, in today's information battlefield, there are no longer too many large-scale sneak attacks, and the enemy is discovered dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away, so it can leave enough time for its own side to react, and it is not a quick reaction force, and this shortcoming is not very important.
In recent years, YDL peacekeepers have used this gun in some countries such as the Middle East and Africa, and have achieved considerable combat results.
However, despite this, I don't know if it's its non-mainstream appearance, the sales of the gun are not very good, and so far, it has only received a few orders from outside the country.
In order to make a name for itself, and Croatia is a member of NATO and the European Union, they did not have the idea of wanting strange goods, and the day after they arrived, Xiao Yang entered into formal contact with them, and they expressed that they would not be too harsh.
In fact, there are many choices for light howitzers, and Xiao Yang and their original inclusion of this gun in the list was precisely in consideration of Iveco's eagerness to promote, intending to get more profits and convenience from it.
When the other party's attitude was expressed, Xiao Yang was still quite happy in his heart.
If you don't talk about the real interests, at least it proves that their previous judgment is correct.
Heavy weapons, unlike light weapons such as firearms, involve a lot of things, even if Iveco said that it would relax the conditions of cooperation, but after all, it is the first cooperation, and there is not a lot to talk about, one day or two...... After five days in a row, he basically talked about a general framework, but fortunately, Xiao Yang was already prepared for this, and the next day after he came, he transferred a team of people from Kutos to be responsible for the specific negotiations, and then he left YDL and went to the United States.
With the previous contact with GM, he thought that things should be determined in a few days, but what they didn't expect was that when he arrived, the business executive who had been in charge of contacting him told him that things had changed.
"Just two hours ago, there was a suggestion that Croatian political leanings were unclear and asked us to postpone the ......"
Looking at his apologetic face, Xiao Yang felt angry in his heart but didn't show it, but asked quietly: "Do you know who it is?" ”
The other party shook his head, but immediately added: "After the incident, President Bol called me and said that he wanted you to meet with him. ”
President Bol is the executive president of the General Ground Weapons Company, in addition to business dealings, Xiao Yang and he have met on several occasions, and the two sides have some communication, and at this time he asked to meet with him, it must be for the sake of the things behind him, he didn't think much about it, and quickly agreed.
"No problem, time, place."
The other party said a little embarrassed: "President Bol said that it is best to be able to do it as soon as possible, but if you have time today, you can only go to the company, President Bol has important things to do today, and I can't leave the company to meet you elsewhere." ”
The headquarters of General Dynamics is located in Falls Church, Virginia, don't look at the fact that it is not in the same state as Washington, in fact, the two places are separated by a river, Xiao Yang didn't feel that he had any shame to go to see Bol, looked at the time, and nodded and said: "No problem, I'll go over now." ”
Originally, he planned to meet with Hammis first, so his plane landed at the airport in Washington, and with this matter, he canceled his plan to stay in Washington for one night, and asked Xiao Qi to change his route and go to Falls Church first.
The time is relatively coincidental, and there is no traffic jam on the road, but although it is only separated from Washington by a river, the distance is still a little far, and the speed along the way is not fast, and it took almost two hours to reach the place.
In front of the gate of the ground weapons company, the business director was already waiting, Xiao Yang had no intention of being polite to him, chatted a few words, and then motioned for him to get in the car and entered the company together.
"Xiao, let's meet again."
"yes, I haven't seen you for almost half a year, are you okay?"
Under the guidance of the business director, Xiao Yang soon met with President Bor.
