Chapter 262: The price is sky-high
On the evening of March 6, Blake arrived at the airport in the Tanzanian capital.
No one greeted them, and the scene looked ordinary as before, for a very simple reason, the overall attitude of the United States towards Tanzania is very indifferent, although the two sides have not torn their faces, but many exchanges at the official level have also been cut off, for example, Tanzania wants to buy some guns and ammunition from the United States, which is impossible.
Moreover, Blake did not have any official title, but came as a businessman, so it was naturally more cold.
Sitting in the car to the hotel, Blake smiled and joked:
"We're very cautious about this goal!"
"The security company project of the Red Star Consortium is in full swing, and it is estimated that the instructor team of more than 5,000 people has been equipped with sufficient weapons, heh!"
"With such protection, it is really very difficult to kill him."
Regarding Blake's statement, a big man in a suit sitting opposite, who seemed to be a soldier, said without thinking:
"As long as you can determine his exact location."
"Then we can use missiles, or use fighter air strikes, their infantry defense, it's not worth mentioning at all."
Hearing the strong man's voice, Blake couldn't help but laugh and said:
"No, no, Kent, you're too military-minded."
"The most perfect way to determine his specific location is when we are negotiating, if we use missiles at that time, we will die together, as for the air attack of the fighter, do you think Wang Ye will not consider this situation? Wouldn't their barracks be equipped with anti-aircraft missiles? The odds of success are slim. ”
"Besides, we also have to think about international implications!"
Faced with Blake's statement, the strong man shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said:
"I'm a soldier, so I don't think about these issues, these are things that you politicians need to think about, and we just need to implement them, how to achieve the goals you have set."
"Am I right? Mr. Black. ”
Blake nodded in affirmation, and at the same time crossed Erlang's legs, changed the topic and said with a smile:
"Still, this kind of caution is always a good thing, anyway."
"Wang Ye is very important, he must not die, this person is different from all Chinese people, whether it is the way of thinking or the principle of doing things, coupled with his ability, his current status, his influence in their country, he will be our biggest breakthrough, if he dies"
"Huh! You don't need to know these things, like you said, you're only responsible for doing it. ”
Regarding Blake's statement, the strong man Kent said without thinking:
"That's right!"
And Blake's attitude towards Kent is not surprising, after all, there are many American staff abroad, and the content of the work is different depending on the position, and each performing his own duties is the most basic requirement and principle, and for Kent, who has a certain military strength, it is his working principle not to express too many opinions.
Silence ensued, and the convoy arrived at the hotel an hour later.
At seven o'clock that night, Blake's request for a meeting had been submitted to the headquarters of the Iron Fist Security Company through Tanzanian official channels, that is, the military base, and Wang Ye and Sattler's inspection work had just ended, and at the same time, they had a simple dinner and were sitting in the room resting.
"Tut-tut! Blake looks quite urgent! Almost as soon as I received the news, I flew over. ”
"To be honest, I'm curious right now what he's going to ask you for."
In the room, Sartler said excitedly after reading the simple application for a meeting.
Sattler's excitement is actually easy to understand, in fact, in the past many years, Saudi Arabia has basically been the little brother of the United States, writhing awkwardly under the baton of the United States.
But Saudi Arabia also has Saudi pride, they don't want this, they just can't resist, and this situation leads to the fact that when American officials talk to Saudi officials, and even His Majesty the King, they have a sense of arrogance, to be honest, what a bag!
So when he saw that Blake couldn't wait for his friends, Sartler felt very happy! It was really happy, and even at that moment, he suddenly realized that the Americans are definitely not invincible, and the Americans also have their needs and flaws, and as long as the manipulation is appropriate, then the Americans must also be like dogs, wagging their tails at themselves!
For example, the "Plan to Nurture the Soviet Union"!
As long as the Saudis operate well enough, the Americans will have to beg for themselves!
In fact, since the intensification of attacks by armed groups, Americans' attitude towards Saudi Arabia has changed significantly, and this is something that Sattler knows very well, and he can clearly feel it himself.
At that moment, Sattler even imagined that the humble expression of the Americans when facing him, he became more and more sure in his heart, what should he do in the future!
Meanwhile.
At the same time as the thought flashed in Sattaler's mind, Wang Ye said with a smile:
"To be honest, I'm looking forward to it."
"But what do I look forward to, what price are the invincible Americans willing to pay to get our help?"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Sattler's eyes lit up, with the attack of the armed group, Saudi Arabia has now received a lot of benefits from the United States, the most critical ones are F-15 and F-16 fighter jets, which are all weapons and equipment that Saudi Arabia was very eager to obtain in the past, but the United States has been reluctant to sell, but now, they have sold!
And it sells a lot, sells very cheaply, and sells very happily!
So it is not difficult to imagine that now that the United States is ready to make a request to Wang Ye, to the consortium, and even to the entire country behind Wang Ye, it will inevitably have to pay a sufficient price! Enough!
"My brother, so what conditions are you going to make?"
"Can you tell me about it now?"
In the next second, Sartler looked at Wang Ye and asked with curiosity and expectation in his tone, under Sartler's gaze, Wang Ye pulled out the drawer and said at the same time:
"What can't be said about this? We are brothers. ”
"Besides, it's not a secret, and I'm not afraid of who knows, and I'm not afraid of leaking it."
"Well, that's what I'm asking for."
Under the gaze of Sattaler's shining gaze, Wang Ye took out a document from the drawer that was nailed together with staples, which looked like at least twenty sheets of paper, not thick but definitely not thin.
"Shhh I suddenly felt like we were asking for less! ”
"You can write such a thick book"
Sattler teased, and at the same time reached out to take the document, after all, for Saudi Arabia, the things they want are finished products, such as fighter jets, such as Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, such as M1 tanks, etc., there are actually few lines on the list, as for the specific delivery, that is another issue.
So when Sartler saw the thickness of this list, he had already guessed that the things Wang Ye wanted must be more miscellaneous, and at the same time, the projects were relatively trivial, and even many categories were described in great detail, which belonged to "deep-level" transactions, which generally involved specific technology and industrial equipment, which were completely different from the "finished product" transactions in Saudi Arabia.
It is precisely because of this that in fact, Sattler is very envious!
Because technology and equipment are needed, this is the fundamental way of development, and fighters and tanks are only a temporary solution, and even these things, although it seems that Saudi Arabia has taken advantage, but the Americans are not at a loss, because the Americans still earn dollars.
Not to mention, after Saudi Arabia gets these equipment, not to mention tanks, high-end products like fighter jets, and the final use has to rely on the Americans, let's just say the most extreme point, in case the United States wants to fight Saudi Arabia in the future, Saudi Arabia wants to use American fighter jets to fight the United States, it is impossible!
With curiosity and envy, Sattaler opened the booklet.
Under Wang Ye's gaze, I saw that Satler's expression gradually began to change from bland, at first his eyes widened, then his mouth couldn't help but open slightly, and finally the whole person looked dumbfounded, as if he saw the sun rising in the west!
"Shhh
In the next second, he couldn't help but gasp, fortunately his mouth was not big enough, otherwise the air in the entire room would have dropped several degrees in an instant, and even the air conditioner and electric fan would not have to blow.
Subsequently, Sartler flipped faster and faster, until a few minutes later, he finished reading the last page.
"O God! My brother, you are crazy! ”
"The Americans could not have agreed! Unless Blake is crazy too! ”
In the end, Sattler looked up at Wang Ye, his face was full of incredulity and unbelievability, and said at the same time, but Wang Ye didn't care, and said with a smile:
"Hey! Business negotiation is to come and go, and pay back the money at a high price! ”
"I don't mention conditions, how can they bargain? Besides, if I mention less, isn't it for nothing to let the Americans take advantage? ”
"So I might as well mention it more, anyway, this is Africa, Africa is rich in lions, I will learn about lions, which is a common saying in our country, and there is no problem with a lion opening its mouth wide, right?"
"And I've experienced something like this once before, so in such a critical negotiation, there must be no recurrence of the previous problems, people can't fall into a pit twice, this is my life principle, so this time, I'm ready for the lion to open his mouth wide, hum!"
"Why do you look so surprised? My friend? ”
Wang Ye said in a rather arrogant tone, and the last expression I didn't understand looked at Sattaler, Sartler blinked, didn't know how to take Wang Ye's words for a while, hesitated for a second and said:
"You've experienced something similar in the past?"
"What's the matter? Speak up and share it with your brother! ”
Hearing Sattler say this, Wang Ye showed a gritted tooth expression on his face, and then said:
"It was when I went to take office in the Red Star Consortium, I just got off the train, I couldn't find a place, someone happened to sell me a map, I asked him how much a copy, he told me a dollar, I knew he was cheating on me, so I started to bargain, I said I only have a dime."
"Originally, I thought he wouldn't agree, but he did, and I paid a dime and got an extremely inferior atlas"
With Wang Ye's expression, Sattler was directly dumbfounded, and after a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help laughing:
"My friend, you're a poisonous snake!"
"Poisonous desert horned viper! Hahaha! It's only a dime, how can you remember it for so long? For you these days, a dime is worth as much as you fart! You're still obsessed! Hahaha! ”
"You only earned 50 million dollars yesterday! And now you're telling me the story of a dime? ”
In response to Sattler's sneer, Wang Ye rolled his eyes and said:
"You don't understand, this is called the growth of life!"
"It's not a dime, but it taught me a solid lesson, that is, never expose your psychological base, you must leave enough buffer space, otherwise I will look like a fool again!"
"Just like this time, if I just made a simple request, the Americans would probably go back and laugh out loud and call me an idiot!"
"Even, they may think that my requirements are too low, so on top of my requirements, add more oil and vinegar, and finally report this list to the Black Palace, despite this, the Black Palace still feels that the requirements on the list are reasonable, and finally after the approval of the Black Palace, the cooperation between our two sides began, they gave me the ones I requested, and the additional ones they added became their wealth, green dollars, through various channels! Dazzling gold! A jewel that shines brightly! ”
"In the end, they go to the beach in the south of Spain, hugging bikini beauties and enjoying a good vacation, and me? Still working hard! ”
"Generous Crab! Majafak! Mulberry Father Bichi! ”
"When I think of this, I can't help but want to be angry, so I must slaughter them!"
Facing Wang Ye's angry voice, Sattler was stunned for a while, not because of Wang Ye's anger, but because of the seemingly outrageous operation described by Wang Ye, but after thinking about it carefully, although this operation seems outrageous, if Wang Ye's requirements are really not high, it is very likely to happen!
After all, the virtues of the Americans, Sattaler, who has been in business for so many years and has been in contact with countless times, are also very clear.
"But here's the problem, my brother."
"If your demands exceed their psychological expectations too much, will they directly scare the Americans away? Think you don't have the sincerity to cooperate? ”
Faced with Sattler's question, Wang Ye sneered, patted the table and said:
"My brother, I must teach you a good lesson!"
"All cooperation is based on the supply and demand relationship between the two sides, and if there are other people or countries in this world who can replace me and my country, then the United States will definitely not look for us."
"In fact, we just can't be replaced, so they don't have a choice."
"Of course, they can slap the table and leave, then if this cooperation does not take place, there is no essential loss for me and the consortium."
"But in the future, if the U.S. feels that the situation is even worse, when they need our help again, it will not be the price on the list."
"And you, in fact, are the same."
"You have oil, in today's collision of poles, this is your biggest capital, if you cut oil production for a month, the situation in the United States will be ten times worse, and the Soviet Union will most likely laugh out loud, and then warmly send you an invitation, inviting you to join their camp, promising you unimaginable benefits."
"If the United States dares to use force to coerce you, then the Soviet Union will be very happy, because the power of the United States is limited, if they do something to you, then in other regions, such as Afghanistan, the investment of forces will be reduced, and then in these areas, the Soviet Union will gain an overwhelming advantage, and finally stain the whole earth!"
"Even, if the United States does it, do you think the Soviet Union will do it?"
"In the end, you will directly smash your country and set all the oil on fire, then the Soviet Union will be happy!"
Faced with Wang Ye's more and more outrageous words, Satler's eyes flashed, and his first reaction was that what Wang Ye said seemed to be very reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that something was not quite right
"Brother, I think there's something wrong with what you're saying."
"My country is not the same as yours, my country is small, if the United States and the USSR really start a big war here, then my country will be finished, this risk is too great, no one can afford it."
"Secondly, if we ask too much, the Americans may agree now, but if one day in the future, the Soviet Union really collapses as you say, then we will definitely be cleaned up by the Americans, because we are not like you, you have great military strength and that kind of weapon, and we don't have it."
In the end, Sattaler said in a deep voice, while Wang Ye said with a smile:
"Yes, you are still very sensible, then I will rest assured."
"If my brother, my ally, is a hot-headed man, then I have to be very careful!"
"But anyway, you are very right in your analysis, so you are also very clear about the problem, how you should choose in the future, I think you already have an idea."
"As for what you say, it doesn't matter, because we are close partners."
"What we have, you can have it, as long as the situation allows, the conditions are right, and the time is right"
As soon as these words came out, Sattaler's expression changed drastically in an instant, in his opinion, Wang Ye is not a person who talks empty words, and the reason why Wang Ye said this must have a reason and dependence for saying this!
"Well, I'm looking forward to that day!"
Sartler didn't say much, just gasped heavily and nodded.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the base of the Iron Fist Security Company welcomed a special team of guests.
I saw more than a dozen cars lined up in a line, rumbling into the base, surrounded by heavily loaded security personnel, the atmosphere at the scene was both grand and depressing, and Blake finally arrived.
