At that moment, everyone in the conference room raised the teacups in front of them.

"Encourage you!"

In the end, everyone toasted with tea instead of wine, accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter, and in everyone's eyes, they could see a flash of hope.

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning.

As a "machine tool man", now they finally see a distant lighthouse light in the foggy darkness, marking a clear direction forward, no matter how many thorns and bumps along the way, but as long as they pay enough sweat and hard work, there will be corresponding harvest, which is their happiest place.

"Okay, let's talk about the specific arrangements."

"In the future, we will be divided into two, and one part will continue to stay in our Red Star Machine Tool Center, responsible for the operation, use, teaching and research of these machines we already have, as well as the related use and learning of the four-axis and five-axis machine tools that will be installed soon."

"Aren't there a lot of machine tool parts in our warehouse?"

"In fact, these accessories are the parts of the four-axis and five-axis machine tools prohibited by the eight cylinders, and through this complete splitting method, they can bypass the customs review and transport them back unknowingly."

"According to the Japanese, on April 5, their new batch of goods will be transported, and these goods and those parts that we have hoarded in our warehouse can be assembled into a nine-axis and five-linkage CNC machining center."

"It is also our first five-axis machine tool in China."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of everyone present in an instant, they never expected that the speed at which the first five-axis machine tool appeared would be so fast!

"Good! That's great! That's great! ”

"April 5th, one week to go"

"It's over! Finished! I can't sleep these days! ”

"If you can't sleep, you have to sleep! Otherwise, how will you work in a daze? ”

"Yes, yes, this is a five-axis machine!"

In an instant, a buzzing whisper sounded in the conference room, Wang Ye knocked lightly on the table, and after the conference room was quiet, Wang Ye continued with a smile:

"Be calm, there will be more such things in the future!"

"Isn't it just a five-axis machine? When the time comes, don't make us act like we haven't seen the world, and let those Japanese laugh at us, understand? ”

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, a burst of laughter sounded at the scene in an instant, and then Wang Ye continued:

"Alright, then I'll get down to business."

"This is the first batch of people to continue to stay in our machine tool center, and the second group of people is to go to the machine tool company that we are about to establish a joint venture with the Japanese."

"The content of your work is to study, crazy learning, and strive to take out all the things in the minds of the Japanese, and then return to our machine tool center to teach these things to our own people, so that our Red Star Consortium and even the country's machine tool research and technology development are on the right track of rapid development."

"We don't care if the Japanese want it or not, and no matter what their attitude is, whether they will throw us face or not, it doesn't matter, we have to show the spirit of spitting and doing it ourselves, no matter how they respond to us, we only have one goal, that is, to get something out of their heads."

"Do you understand?"

Facing Wang Ye's voice, the average age of these people at the scene was at least fifty years younger, but now they were like young people who had just entered college, shouting at the top of their voices:

"Got it!"

Then the specific personnel allocation began in the conference room.

Of course, the final personnel are not only the two dozen people in the conference room, but also more than 500 people in the Red Star Machine Tool Center.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that the meeting finally ended, and everyone went back to their homes with happy faces.

It's just that from the moment they left the conference room, their mouths were closed, and they were tightly closed, but they couldn't help but smile on their faces, but they didn't say a word on their lips, so that people who didn't know why were confused, and they didn't know what happy event was, and everyone was red.

The next day, March 30th.

In the morning, Wang Ye worked hard in the office, dealing with some chores that had been backlogged during his stay in Africa, and at the same time received a call from Xu Jiaojiao and Zhang Bing, who said that they had completed the handover of work and were ready to return by car today, and were expected to return to the consortium the day after tomorrow, that is, April 1.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ye came to the gate of the factory, ready to welcome the Iranian purchasing delegation.

Because Iran is still at war, the welcome ceremony can't be too prosperous, so it is just a simple slogan and banner, even if it is a coping situation.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

At a quarter of two o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a convoy rumbling in the distance.

A few minutes later, the convoy gradually approached the welcoming crowd, and Wang Ye took the lead and began to applaud gently, which was considered a welcome, followed by some welcome slogans and the like.

Subsequently, the convoy stopped, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense got out of the car one after another, as well as the staff of the Iranian side, surrounded by the staff, I saw a middle-aged man with a typical Persian appearance, who also got out of the car, accompanied by a leader of the Ministry of Defense, who was quite familiar with Wang Ye.

"Mr. Jalali, let me introduce you."

"This is Mr. Wang Ye, the director of the Red Star Consortium."

The crowd of the convoy and the welcoming crowd began to meet, and the leader of the Ministry of Defense who was in charge of leading the team smiled and introduced the Iranian with sharp eyes and gray hair, and it was obvious that this middle-aged man named Jalali was the head of the Iranian procurement mission.

"Hello, Mr. Jalali!"

"I'm Wang Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After hearing the introduction and introduction of the leader of the Ministry of National Defense, Wang Ye stretched out his right hand with a polite smile on his face and said so, and from beginning to end, the man's eyes named Jalali have been locked on Wang Ye's face, and it is obvious that he has seen Wang Ye's photo through some channels and has recognized that this is Wang Ye.

At the moment when Wang Ye spoke, a smile appeared on his long face of the two nasolabial folds, which was originally quite serious, and he also stretched out his right hand, and also opened his left arm, looking more enthusiastic, and said to Wang Ye with a smile:

"Hello Mr. Wang Ye, I am honored and happy to meet you."

"I just came to your country some time ago, and I learned that Mr. Wang Ye went to Tanzania, Africa, and I thought that I would miss you this time, but I didn't expect you to come back before we were about to leave!"

"Oh, I think this must be God's will, so that I will be able to see you!"

After finishing speaking, he shook Wang Ye's hand heavily with his right hand, and at the same time stretched out his left arm, obviously to hug Wang Ye simply, this is also a more traditional way of greeting Iran, compared to a simple handshake, it is more in-depth, and if it continues to go deeper, it is to touch the cheek.

Of course, Wang Ye and Jalali are not at this level, and a hug is enough.

"Welcome to my country, welcome to the Red Star Consortium."

"Here, please! Let's sit down and talk. ”

Then, the two hugged gently, and after a quick separation, Wang Ye said.

Jalaari nodded and said with a smile:

"We are guests and follow the host's arrangement."

After finishing speaking, everyone got into the car again, entered the interior of the Red Star Consortium, and a moment later sat down in the reception conference room of the office building.

Once you're seated, it's a simple pleasantry.

In fact, Wang Ye doesn't hate the country of Iran, and even appreciates it a little.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, Iran and the United States do not deal with each other!

Since the internal changes in Iran in 79, the relationship between Iran and the United States has completely collapsed, and in today's bipolar world pattern, they may be out of the idea of self-preservation, or maybe they are to resist the United States, or maybe because of some other messy reason, after offending the United States, they have only one way: befriending the Soviet Union.

And their choice, in fact, in this era, is also the choice of countless countries.

Either choose to side with the United States or choose to side with the Soviet Union, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can truly maintain their independence and do not take sides.

But what makes them different from other countries is that their attitude is very hard, and in layman's terms, they are very hard-headed.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the nineties, the vast majority of the countries that originally wore the same pants as the Soviet Union began to turn to the United States and the "free" Western countries in a very short period of time.

Even Russia, which was born in the giant corpse of the Soviet Union, once wanted to join the US-led "Northern Covenant" military organization, and made many statements and hints openly and covertly, which shows how terrifying the influence of the United States at that time was on a global scale after losing the Soviet Union, the biggest enemy.

But in such a world pattern, Iran is still the first iron baby.

Their attitude is too firm, that is, they will fight the United States to the death, or perhaps because their leaders know very well that capitulationism is unacceptable, and the result of surrender is a dead end, whether it is at the individual level or at the national level, so they did not choose to turn to Western countries, but chose to continue to fight hardline.

Even in order to have the confidence to confront the United States, they are frantically enriching uranium in an attempt to "grow mushrooms."

It is precisely because of this behavior that the United States has been offended even more, and the United States, together with its allies, and even countries that are not even allies, have been blockaded on a large scale, and the domestic situation was once very miserable.

But it has to be said that there was nothing wrong with their choice.

For the United States, an ally is just a nice saying, and a bad saying is a fat pig that is raised, cutting two catties of meat today and bleeding three catties tomorrow, and the United States is not worried about whether the allies are doing well or not, anyway, the United States only needs to live a good life for itself.

Under such circumstances, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, most of those countries that defected had various problems in their countries, and after they longed to join the Western system of the United States, the days of prosperity and prosperity did not come as expected, but at that time, they had already abandoned their martial arts, and they were powerless to resist or change this situation, and in the end they could only become a piece of meat on the chopping block of the United States, which was eaten by the capitalists.

In the end, in stark contrast to these "capitulating" countries, it is Iran, which is the head of the iron, that is gradually branching up.

In that era a few decades later, in fact, the relationship between China and Iran was already extraordinary, and it was also because of that sentence that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests.

However, the situation is like this, this time and that time.

Iran now has little value for the country, as long as it does business normally.

"Mr. Wang Ye, the purpose of our special trip to the Red Star Consortium this time must be clear to you."

"At present, the weapons and equipment of the Red Star Consortium have been sold well in many countries and regions in the world, and in the past few months, we have also obtained some weapons and equipment of the Red Star Consortium through various channels, such as grenade launchers, such as gyroplanes, and your kind of fire support vehicles."

"After the use of front-line troops, officers and soldiers are full of praise for these weapons and equipment."

"That's why we're here this time, hoping to reach a cooperation, purchase relevant weapons and equipment from you, and conduct large-scale transactions."

After a few minutes of pleasantries, Jalari got the conversation back on track and said it very directly.

"Of course, of course I do."

"We are very happy that our weapons and equipment have been recognized by you."

"We are also very much looking forward to the cooperation you have proposed, and we believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant."

As soon as Jalaari's words fell, Wang Ye smiled and politely said a few words, but he didn't expect Jalali to nod slightly and give the Iranian staff next to him a look, and the staff took out a document from his handbag.

Jalali took the document from the staff, then looked at Wang Ye and said:

"This is our purchase list, please Mr. Wang Ye to take a look."

To be honest, Wang Ye originally thought that Jalali would make a request to visit the Red Star Consortium or something, and even the relevant departments were ready to accept the relevant work after preparations yesterday afternoon and this morning.

But I didn't expect Jalali to mention it at all, and he didn't seem to be interested in it at all, and he wasn't even ready to take a walk around the scene like a diplomatic event, but took out the purchase list very directly.

"Oh! Good! Good! ”

Wang Ye nodded, and the staff of the Red Star Consortium took the document from Jalali's hand, and then walked over and handed it to Wang Ye, who opened the file and quickly browsed it.

"Fire support vehicles, 200 units."

"Military six-wheeled all-terrain assault vehicles, five hundred."

"Military pickups, two thousand."

"Towing rocket launchers, two thousand."

"Low-speed grenades, high-speed grenades totaling 20 million rounds."

"A total of 200,000 rounds of rockets of all kinds."

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye simply looked through the purchase list, and directly skipped those items that were not of high value, and then handed it to the staff next to him and said:

"Do the math of the total value."

The staff member nodded and took the purchase list and began to do a quick calculation.

Within three minutes, he came over and said:

"Report to the factory director."

"The total value is $712 million."

Hearing what the staff said, Wang Ye looked at Jalali opposite and said:

"Mr. Jalali, the items on your list."

"The total value is $712 million, and I make the decision to erase the fraction of $2 million, which is also our consistent attitude of cooperation, so the final total is $710 million."

"We can provide you with a specific detailed quotation for your reference"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Ye's words were halfway through, Jalali, who was sitting opposite, nodded and said:

"I have no problem with the price, which is about the same as we expected."

"As for the detailed quotation, I don't think it's necessary, just put the price on the transaction contract, and if there are no other problems, I think we can start signing the contract now."

"However, we have one additional requirement regarding the signing of the contract."

"That's to give us the delivery as soon as possible."

"The cycle time we want to deliver"

Accompanied by the crackling sound of Jalaari, Wang Ye felt a little unable to react in his brain for a while, although the order of 700 million US dollars is definitely not the largest order that Wang Ye has ever seen, but the total amount of this order is not small, so is this Jalali's reaction a little too fast? He looks too urgent, doesn't he?

Even accompanied by the voice of Jalali speaking, Wang Ye couldn't help but glance at the leader of the Ministry of Defense next to him, if it weren't for the presence of this leader, Wang Ye would have doubted whether this Jalali was a liar!

"Mr. Wang Ye, is there a problem?"

At the time when Wang Ye was stunned, Jalali stated their requirements, after all, it was just one word, the delivery speed should be fast, and after finishing speaking, Jalali looked at Wang Ye and asked again.

Although Wang Ye was quite amazed in his heart, his face still had the same expression as usual, and he nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, no problem."

"We will definitely deliver to you as soon as possible."

"As for the lead time issues you raised, we can fully meet them, please rest assured."

Hearing Wang Ye's promise, Jalali nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very well, then we can sign the contract."

Then the conference room began to get busy, and Wang Ye couldn't react a little, because counting the communication clauses, drafting the contract and signing, the total added up was less than two hours.

At half past five in the afternoon, the contract was signed!
