Chapter 59: The Rope (Late Because I Ate Late)
Finally figured out the correct operation of the system, Chen Nian was extremely comfortable.
Of course, this does not mean that he will not have to think about learning in the future, on the contrary, it puts forward higher requirements for the depth of his learning.
Only when you reach a sufficient level can you screen out the most important nodes in key projects, and use these nodes to form a fission reaction, so that the technology explodes with the highest efficiency, so as to give back to your own source point.
The source point obtained in this way is the real "reward", and the source point obtained in learning should be said to be a kind of "salary".
Good humane system.
Better than those capitalists don't know where to go.
Chen Nian sighed secretly and walked all the way back to his residence.
And now he has a clear goal.
The analysis of hot isostatic presses must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and even find ways to promote localization.
Because only self-research can generate new knowledge and form knowledge increments.
In this way, I chose to stop the introduction of AL-31FN, and I really chose the right one......
......
At the same time, just as Chen Nian was thinking about how to realize the localization of hot isostatic pressing equipment, far away in the headquarters of QUINTUS in Sweden, two men in suits and leather shoes were sitting opposite each other, drinking coffee leisurely.
"Watkins, I guess we haven't seen each other in a long time, right?"
"yes, Jack. We haven't seen each other for nearly 30 years since we graduated. Is Ms. Winth okay? ”
"It's not bad, I heard last year that she had some heart problems, and I went to see her, but overall, for an eighty-year-old man, she is in good health."
Watkins nodded and said with emotion:
"I miss Miss Winth's wine. I still remember her favorite song, Summer Wine....... Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....... Isn't that her wine? ”
"If you say that, maybe we should have a few drinks in the evening."
Jack replied with a smile.
"I don't have summer wine here, it's all cold and hard like the climate."
"Well, there's too much to talk about."
"Well, what's your company's plan?" 、
As soon as he said this, Jack's expression immediately changed.
One second ago, he was a gentle middle-aged man catching up with his old friends, but this second, he turned back into the number one business representative of the DSI company, exuding a resolute and irresistible momentum.
"We're not going to sell them equipment---- of course, we're not going to say no too obviously."
"We will use harsh conditions to make it difficult for them to retreat."
"After all, you know, the relationship between our two countries is quite friendly, and now the Soviet Union ---- no, Russia is the biggest enemy."
Watkins hummed and said approvingly:
"I can even feel that. Since the Soviet Union was gone, the Russians have become more and more annoying, but the Chinese are comfortable doing business with them. ”
"The price is perfect, there are few things, and you can make a lot of money from the follow-up maintenance costs."
Jack heard Watkins's implication, and mentioned the matter of "making money" in such a conversation, and also showed goodwill to Huaxia, there is no doubt that this is to negotiate terms with himself.
So, he didn't hide it, but said bluntly:
"Watkins, I see what you mean."
"In this world, it is natural for businessmen like us to live for profit, but the problem is that we should pursue more long-term interests."
"They threw out a large number of purchase orders this time, a full 20 units, but have you ever thought that if you sell these equipment to them, it is very likely, this is the last time you QUINTUS will export hot isostatic presses to Huaxia?"
Watkins frowned and asked rhetorically:
"On what basis do you judge this? According to our company's internal forecast, with the current technical level of the Chinese people, it is impossible for them to imitate the hot isostatic press in a short time. ”
"The two technologies of high-pressure module and hydraulic module alone are enough to nail them for years."
"Twenty years? You're underestimating them. ”
Jack smiled mockingly and continued:
"Did you know that 50 years ago, we also thought that one Van Vleet would have enough ammo to defeat them?"
But what about the end result? We were forced to sign a humiliating withdrawal agreement. ”
"Huaxia people can always do things that you don't expect, go back 10 years, they are even short of electricity, but now?"
"Don't despise your adversary, my friend."
After listening to Jack's words, Watkins fell silent.
After a moment, he asked:
"You don't want to sell hot isostatic presses, aren't you afraid that they will seize this market? In fact, what you are really worried about is everything about fighter jets, or those interests on the sea. ”
"Of course."
Jack replied unabashedly.
"But after all, you are businessmen, and DSI is a company that needs to make money."
"Someone will make it up to us, just as we will make it up to you."
"At times like these, we need to join forces, put aside our rivalry, and face our enemies together."
Watkins smiled and said:
"For us, the Chinese are not necessarily enemies......."
"$10 million, plus two technical exchange summits."
Jack threw out his own price code, and this price code, no matter where it is placed, can be said to be extremely attractive.
But Watkins still didn't let up.
"It's too little, this time Huaxia's introduction demand is 20 units, and the price of a machine, plus follow-up maintenance and technical support work, we can earn at least 20 million US dollars."
"But these 40 million dollars need to be spread over the next ten years---- you know what it means to be discounted, right?"
Jack unwaveringly interrupted Watkins, who was silent for a moment, and finally spoke:
"$15 million, other conditions remain the same."
"Deal!"
Jack decisively agrees, in fact, the price has not touched his ceiling at all.
Seeing his reaction, Watkins shook his head helplessly and asked instead:
"Do you really think that restricting the import of hot isostatic presses can prevent Huaxia from making new planes?"
"I've heard a lot of rumors lately, and it doesn't seem to agree with your judgment......
A cryptic smile appeared on Jack's face, and he lowered his voice and said:
"HIP presses are just one part of the story, and that's why I'm here to talk to you."
"Washington's will is strong and the goals are clear."
"There's no way they're going to get the Huamen to make that 'imaginary' plane, because that would have a major impact on Washington's plans."
"In addition to me, there are many people running around the world."
"And their purpose is actually the same as mine."
"The lasso has gradually tightened, and Huaxia's new project will be strangled in the cradle."
"Really?"
Watkins' face was flat and his tone was perfunctory.
Looking at the ambitious man in front of him, a strange premonition rose in his heart.
Perhaps, Washington's actions will eventually become a farce, and he and his company will pick up a lot of money for nothing.
But is it possible?
Maybe.......
