I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 250: No in Principle

"Mr. Chen?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen Chen." Salaman glanced at the other delegation. "By the way, why is Mr. Chen not here today?"

Mr. Shang smiled helplessly: "He is busy with other things."

A gold or silver cup is not as good as a customer's cup.

Other aviation industry representatives present were somewhat ashamed.

They have been in this business for quite some time, especially those in the front row, who are all big foreign trade players.

Even with all the cups he had accumulated over the years, he was still no match for the newcomer Chen Chen.

They took out a double-tailed scorpion for export with ease, just like sprinkling water on it.

It is a table-turning existence in the industry, with high quality products and low prices.

The most important thing is that Chen Chen’s service attitude is very good.

He makes whatever the customer wants and meets every detail of the customer's requirements.

People like Salaman have never eaten any fine grains.

When I saw the product and service level of Chendun, I was immediately impressed.

"Mr. Chen is an old friend of ours. If there is a need for drones, I hope he can be part of the negotiation team." Salaman changed the subject. "But this time we don't need drones."

Salaman's words cooled the general atmosphere in the conference hall.

Because the lineup prepared here consists of several backbone forces in the aviation industry.

Mr. Shang has made a very careful calculation.

Recently, there are many drones in service in China, almost a whole generation of them have been updated.

This way.

Some advanced equipment is at a backward level.

The terrible thing is.

They were very bold when they first planned the production capacity of these products.

After all, no one could have imagined at that time that domestic drones would make great progress since Chendun entered the market.

So this time, Mr. Shang mainly wants to promote drones.

In this way, the two sides are at a point of disagreement.

Mr. Shang wanted to try harder: "Considering the intensified situation around your country, coupled with the basic characteristics of modern warfare."

“I personally think drones are the best option for dealing with the current security situation.”

"In layman's terms, when your enemy has large-scale swarms of drones, you'd better have them too."

Salaman has his own ideas: "I can't deny that. But our current housing focus is on air defense equipment."

Mr. Shang keenly noticed that Salaman seemed to have a goal: "Are you talking about regional prevention and control?"

"Yes, we are looking to bring in some regional air defence systems."

It is true that Salaman is rich, but he is not stupid.

When the technology of the surrounding tiger and wolf drones was upgraded, he did not lose his strategic judgment.

Enemy drones strengthened.

Especially when the folks have large suicide drones.

The air defense system is particularly important.

Due to the special environment of our country, offensive weapons are far less important than defensive weapons.

Regional prevention and control happens to be Salaman’s weak point.

Originally, Salaman’s first choice was not this hotel, but the other two.

What a pity.

When Salaman was preparing to make his deployment, other countries happened to be testing the Russian S400 live-fire test, and the hit rate was very touching.

So this option was killed.

The regional prevention and control system of the United States is expensive, and they may not agree to sell it.

So Salaman wanted to try his luck here.

“I hope we can import some FD2000 systems if possible.”

Mr. Shang had already guessed some clues and thought about it in advance, and replied with ease: "Sir, red wine is our main long-range surface-to-air missile and has great strategic significance."

"I know, so we want to be the first Middle Eastern country to be equipped with this system."

Salaman's eyes were full of desire.

Judging from the limited information disclosed, compared with the air defense systems of the other two countries, the performance of FD2000 is above average.

Because of its excellent performance, there are very few foreign trade models.

Rabbit only sold a few sets to a few close friends.

The Bay Area has none at all.

He could also understand the implication of Mr. Shang's words.

The FD2000 system, with the Red Wine Surface-to-Air Missile as its soul, is still Rabbit's advanced equipment.

Because of its status, the production capacity of this equipment cannot support foreign trade.

Salaman had already analyzed these two reasons for ignoring.

Therefore, he decided to impress Mr. Shang with his sincerity: "If you agree to sell the FD2000 system, we will be very relaxed about the price."

Mr. Shang sucked his teeth. He knew that Mr. Gou didn't understand technology, but he respected it and there was no doubt about money.

But the sale of air defense systems is not within the scope of this negotiation.

Even before this, we had not anticipated this.

No matter how moved he was, Mr. Shang could only grit his teeth and politely refuse.

"In principle, there is no foreign trade option for the FD2000 system at present." Mr. Shang did not say anything final. "How about this, we will discuss it here later and give you a clear answer later."

Even though Salaman has super powers, there are things he can't do, so there is some hope.

However, his frequent dealings with rabbits in recent years have also made him understand the subtext of the three words "in principle".

This means that this is not 100% impossible.

He was willing to give Shangwu some time: "Okay, I look forward to your good news, Minister."

The seller's critical needs cannot be met.

The buyer's excess capacity cannot be consumed, which means that there is little substantive progress in the negotiations.

Subsequent discussions were limited to the completion of previous institutions and projects, as well as future strategic prospects.

There are very few actual contracts that have been finalized by both parties.

So when the meeting ended and Salaman left the meeting room, the members of Shangwu's delegation all looked a little disappointed.

Especially those representatives of the aviation industry.

They had been hoping to make a fortune from some wealthy people here, and had prepared sacks of money when they arrived.

As a result, he took off his pants. Look at this, you can imagine the difference.

"Boss, I signed a military order with our boss when I came here, but I can't explain why this plane hasn't been sold yet."

Shangwu bit his lip and said, "They haven't gone far yet, go and stop them and ask for it."

"No, this doesn't seem like the style of a big dog owner."

"The dog owners are rich, but they are not stupid, especially this Salaman, who is very smart."

No one denies this.

They are rich, but they are rich in a rational way.

He is not the idiot who goes to a place and asks Mr. Sa to pay for all the expenses.

In particular, their understanding of the need for air defense means that the money is spent wisely.

Mr. Shang suddenly raised his head and asked for opinions: "Everyone is here, so let's work overtime. What do you think about them wanting FD2000?"

Those present were all industry professionals and could provide some reference opinions.

A representative from the Science and Technology Group suppressed his disappointment and gave a well-reasoned analysis.

"They do understand the need for an air defense system."

"But one or two missiles will do."

"The issue of a complete air defense system still needs to be seriously considered."

Another older representative also stood up.

"Red wine is the mainstay of our military's regional air defense. If it is rashly exported, it will cause many problems."

"The first thing that came to my mind was the leakage of combat power."

"You said it would be fine if it was deployed in a neighboring peaceful country."

"There are all kinds of people around Salaman's hometown. There are 17 or 18 forces in such a small area."

"It's very risky for main weapons to be in a place like this."

A representative later even found a real-life example to support the above point:
"Everyone remembers what happened in the Bekaa Valley, right?"

"It took Syr ten years and a lot of effort to get 29 missile batteries from the Russians."

"The results of it?"

"ISR dispatched several drones to trick the radar into opening its eyes, uploaded the electromagnetic spectrum to the early warning aircraft, and then the fighter jets finished off."

"29 missile batteries, $20 billion, destroyed in two hours."

"The past is a lesson for future generations."

People teach people, but they can’t teach.

Things teach people, and they will learn once they are learned.

Everyone at the scene fell into deep thought.

Although the times are progressing and technology is developing.

But the logic of air defense has not changed, and the regional structure is also similar.

If the FD2000 system is gone, it is hard to avoid similar things happening again.

After all, Gou Da Hu's tactical quality and confidentiality level are still a little lacking.

It doesn't matter if the air defense system is damaged.

The most important thing is that critical data will be leaked, and this loss is unbearable.

Mr. Shang nodded, somewhat leaning towards this position, but he still wanted to listen to more opinions and open up the channels for communication.

"Xiao Zheng, why don't you speak?"

Zheng Yucun put down the pen in his hand and said: "Everyone has a point. In short, based on the current situation, FD2000 is too advanced and inconvenient to export."

Everyone was about to nod.

Zheng Yucun suddenly changed the subject.

"But! What if we have better and more advanced prevention and control options?"

"If there are better options, I would definitely prefer exporting. There's no need to be so hard on money." Shangwu smiled bitterly. "The point is, we don't have a choice, do we?"

Zheng Yucun wanted to add another sentence, but after thinking it over, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.

I see that everyone’s opinions are almost unanimous.

Mr. Shang began to make a decisive statement: "It is different now than before."

"The dog owner still hasn't seen a gun."

"But we have seen people with some money."

"It's not the time when we were so poor."

"Let's put this matter aside for now. If Xiao Zheng says so, we can sell it to them if there is a better option."

Everyone nodded and underestimated.

It's easier said than done.

This one is on hold.

I don’t know when it will be put aside.

When everyone left the meeting room with sighs, Shangwu still didn't relax and called his secretary.

"Summarize today's meeting and report it to the higher-ups. Tell them the truth about their desire for an air defense system, and also send them the preliminary opinions we just mentioned."

"understand!"

After saying this, Shangwu looked annoyed, saying, "Before the meeting, you mentioned that the Yangcheng War Zone issue needs to be taken seriously."

“You mean scientific research activities?”

"Yes! Go find out why Lin Xiao is making such a big fuss."
