Hearing the words of the fat old man's president, the staff member obviously had a flash of doubt in his eyes.

"Mr. Johnson, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Wang Ye came as a 'reinforcement', which should make our negotiations more anxious, right? I really can't imagine why his presence could be a good thing for us. ”

After the staff finished speaking, the fat old man Johnson smiled and said:

"It's very simple, let me ask you, are we willing to do it or are we not willing to do it about this business?"

Faced with this question, the staff member was slightly stunned, nodded and said:

"Of course we're willing to do it."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have to continue talking to them."

Hearing him say this, the fat old man Johnson continued:

"Yes, we're willing to do it."

"But the problem is that at present, although this business is still being discussed, whether it can really succeed in the end does not depend on the two of us, but also on the above, and the above is actually not happy."

"And judging from the current situation, from our point of view, the probability of us convincing the above is actually not very high, and it is more that they need to find a way from diplomacy and other aspects."

Accompanied by the fat old man's Johnson's voice, the staff member's eyes flashed, and at the same time, the fat old man continued to say to himself:

"So in my opinion, there may be two reasons for Wang Ye's coming."

"The first, of course, is about the negotiations with us themselves, his business name is known all over the world, maybe that's why their country suddenly sent him, maybe he could be a key point in the negotiation breakthrough."

"The second one, his coming, may have something to do with the above, he may not only break through us, but also to break through the above, because they also know very well that if the above does not approve this deal, even if we negotiate it, it will be meaningless, and Wang Ye is very level in the field of international relations."

The fat old man Johnson said as the staff member nodded, and finally he asked hesitantly:

"Sir, if that's really the case, do you think it's possible for Wang Ye to succeed?"

"After all, if the above really doesn't approve our transaction, then the loss is too big for us, and now I really need this order!"

Hearing what the staff said, the fat old man Johnson sighed and said:

"Who knows? Maybe, maybe"

Then, the staff member nodded, turned around and left the office, leaving only the fat old man Johnson, looking out the window at the Westinghouse company far away from the interior, his expression flashing and silent.

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, negotiations between the two sides began again.

The negotiators from both sides entered at the same time and sat on both sides of the long negotiation table, with the middle as the person in charge of the negotiation, while Wang Ye sat on the edge, which belonged to a place that was almost an observer.

But even so, when Wang Ye appeared, he still attracted the attention of everyone in the Westinghouse opposite, especially Johnson, the fat old man in charge of the negotiation, stared at Wang Ye intently for a few seconds, and then smiled slightly, which was regarded as greeting Wang Ye, and Wang Ye also responded with a smile and a polite chin.

Subsequently, the negotiation officially began, and Wang Ye sat in the corner, maintaining the appearance of listening attentively, frowning and thinking from time to time, and taking notes from time to time, but never said a word.

Even because of Wang Ye's appearance, there were some different situations at the negotiation site, the most obvious thing is that after the people on the Westinghouse side finished speaking, they habitually looked at Wang Ye, as if they wanted to see any effective feedback from Wang Ye's expression, and even later this became a habit, but unfortunately, they didn't get anything.

At eleven o'clock, the negotiations ended and the two sides withdrew.

"Alas"

After the domestic negotiation team left, only the negotiators from Westinghouse were left in the conference room, and Johnson, the fat old man sitting in the middle, sighed, perhaps because today's negotiations still did not effectively promote the progress of the overall negotiations, or perhaps because in today's negotiation process, Wang Ye did not speak at all, and was purely an observer.

"Wang Ye, he's here, but he doesn't speak, what does it mean?"

"I don't know, maybe he just wants to sit in on our attitude at the moment?"

"It's possible, but I can't even see any fluctuations on his face."

"Yes! I don't know what he thinks, but to be honest, I'm curious. ”

"Ha, I only hope that he came with some conditions of their country, and there is a way to deal with it."

"That's right, that's right, all our efforts are useless if the above don't agree."

The sound of everyone talking in the conference room buzzed and echoed, and Johnson, the fat old man sitting in the middle, sighed and said:

"Alright, guys, don't talk about him anymore."

"Let's just pretend he doesn't exist and continue our negotiations."

"While there is still a little time, let's review the negotiation process just now, and once again clarify our negotiation goals and results."

With the voice of the fat old man, who is also the president of Westinghouse, Johnson, the conference room gradually quieted down, and the negotiation review began.

Half past one in the afternoon.

After lunch, the negotiation team of the Second Aircraft Department also began to review the work.

"Director Wang, after the actual contact this morning."

"Any ideas?"

In the conference room, Director Du, the original person in charge of the negotiation of the Second Machine Department, looked at Wang Ye and said, and at the same time, everyone's eyes were already locked on Wang Ye's face.

In fact, for Wang Ye's arrival, everyone in the entire negotiation team was still very happy and welcoming.

On the one hand, Wang Ye's ability has been proven countless times, especially in foreign trade and foreign exchange earning, as well as various negotiations and the politics of international relations, so everyone recognizes Wang Ye's ability, and now that there is no progress in negotiations and no real hope in sight, if Wang Ye can lead the team to success, then everyone is the beneficiary of this project.

On the one hand, if Wang Ye comes, this project can't be done, then no one will have anything to say now, simply put, with this big head in front, everyone will not be too embarrassed.

At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye took the notebook, coughed lightly and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need to first clarify a problem."

"Even if we negotiate with Westinghouse, we need the authorization and permission of the US government to make this transaction and transaction, but the current US official attitude is not good, they don't seem to agree very much with this deal, even if it involves the return of dollars, they still don't want to make this money."

"Of course, it's not hard to guess why they did this, after all, the nuclear industry is more sensitive."

"And what I want to say is, do we have any ideas or plans on this issue? After all, if the US officials do not agree, even if we negotiate it, it will make no sense. ”

Faced with Wang Ye's question, Director Du, who was the person in charge of the negotiation, coughed lightly and said:

"At present, diplomacy is still in the process of mediation, and communication and coordination between the two sides are continuing."

"At the same time, Westinghouse is also using their energy to lobby the relevant departments."

"As for us, in fact, we can only wait, we are only responsible for the negotiation part, and we have neither the authorization nor the means for this part, which is a fact."

"Or rather, we can only urge Westinghouse to find a way through them."

Regarding Director Du's statement, Wang Ye nodded slightly in agreement, because Director Du's statement is correct, this is the current reality.

"Okay, then let's start talking about negotiations."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye opened the book, looked at it briefly, looked up and said:

"The current offer for the entire pressurized water reactor in Westinghouse is $800 million."

"But they lack sufficient construction capacity, so the main part of the nuclear power plant needs to be outsourced to several professional construction companies in the United States, and the joint quotation of these construction companies is one billion, which includes all the construction content of the entire nuclear power plant, in short, it is a contract of labor and materials, with their people, their equipment, and their materials."

"In addition to these two major heads, there is also the peripheral electrical equipment and management plan of the power station, which needs to be outsourced to Wood Energy Services in the United States, and the price Wood gives is 200 million US dollars."

"All in all, their combined offer is two billion dollars."

"This price is still a lot lower than the French offer."

"But the problem is that they have contracted all the contents of the nuclear power plant, and in the end they will only hand over to us a nuclear power plant that can be put into use, and we have no knowledge of the construction and specific technical content of the nuclear power plant, which does not meet the requirements of the ministries and leaders, because it is not conducive to our own mastery of nuclear power technology and our own nuclear power."

"That's all we had to do with the negotiations."

When Wang Ye said this, everyone present nodded in approval, and then Wang Ye closed the notebook before continuing:

"In the course of this morning's talks, our negotiations have made phased progress."

"That is, Westinghouse said that we want to participate in the construction of the nuclear power plant, and we want to get the relevant technology transfer, they are not absolutely unacceptable, but the whole offer, compared to the previous price, is slightly higher, as for the amount of increase, it is 1.5 billion US dollars."

"In other words, they can accept our technical requests, but the total price will also soar to $3.5 billion, which is a price that we can't accept right now."

"After all, our psychological bottom line is $2.5 billion."

After Wang Ye finished speaking, Director Du, the head of the negotiation team sitting there, sighed and said:

"That's right, the price of 3.5 billion is unacceptable to us no matter what."

"This price is too expensive, even if we have this money in our hands now, but this money cannot be spent on nuclear power, and other industries are still waiting to be fed."

"Two and a half billion, this is already the largest and largest budget."

"And these money cannot be paid off all at once, only 20 percent can be paid in the early stage, and the rest needs to be paid in the form of commercial electricity bills after the nuclear power plant is completed and put into operation, and then all of them will be paid off within five years."

"It's also a problem because American banks can't lend us money."

"And the Westinghouse Electric Company, which is responsible for the general contracting of the entire project, is willing to give us a loan, but at present, their economic conditions are not good, and they simply cannot pay so much in advance."

Speaking of this, Director Du sighed, he was already young, his hair was a little gray, and he looked at Wang Ye with a very helpless expression and said:

"To tell you the truth, Director Wang, I'm desperate."

"I don't think this can be done, although I was full of confidence before I came, and I am also the most supportive of the development of nuclear power in China, I heard Chief Wei say your idea, I very much agree with your idea."

"But it's clear that there's always an unbridgeable gap between the facts and our expectations."

"Maybe the nuclear power program should really be postponed for another three or five years, and then we can make plans after our economic situation further improves."

"At that time, the international situation will be a different situation, and maybe it will be much better than it is now."

Director Du's words are very frustrating, but this is also a true portrayal of his heart and that of everyone in the entire negotiation team, because the current situation is like this, very serious.

That moment.

When the atmosphere at the scene was extremely low, Wang Ye looked at Director Du and said:

"Director Du, in fact, I have a very bold idea."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the instantly depressed crowd raised their heads again and looked at Wang Ye not far away, while everyone was looking at Wang Ye, Director Du frowned and asked:

"A very bold idea?"

"What thoughts?"

Faced with his question, Wang Ye did not answer directly, but looked at Director Du and asked:

"Director Du, you answer me a question."

"If the price is right, how many nuclear power plants are we planning to build in China in the next 10 or 20 years?"

"Is there a similar plan?"

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, Director Du nodded without thinking and said:

"Of course there is, if the price is right."

"We hope that in the next 20 years, at least six new nuclear power plants and no less than 10 reactors will be added in the country, and the average power supply capacity will reach 2 million kilowatts."

"But specifically, it depends on the localization capacity of nuclear power plants."

"If the localization goes well, the construction cost will be greatly reduced, but if it doesn't go well, then I'm afraid there will be no way to achieve it as promised, after all, it's still a matter of money, Director Wang, you should understand it very well."

Hearing this, Wang Ye took a deep breath, then nodded and said:

"So, Director Du, my bold idea is."

"Since we want to develop nuclear power, and the negotiations between the two sides are at an impasse, it is better for us to think differently and solve this problem."

"For example, could we try to take a stake in Westinghouse?"

"Anyway, if this money must be spent, then it is better to make it more worthwhile!"
