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

Chapter 266 Link

The next day, in order to celebrate the old king’s birthday, the drone show team tried their best to perform a large-scale drone show that went down in history, and members of the delegation were also invited to attend the banquet as guests.

After watching the drone performance, they felt that Chen Chen was too biased.

They have never eaten such fine grains in their country.

Regardless of the festival, domestic drone performances are nothing more than a rainbow on the left and a dragon on the right.

Good guy.

When I went abroad, I saw all kinds of millimeter-level portraits that were lifelike.

The text slogans also became more explicit: [Long live the noble king].

Everyone got goosebumps after watching this, and they all joked that Chen Chen had lost all his dignity in order to make money.

Chen Chen was very calm, thinking to himself, I'm already abroad, why should I care about my dignity?
However, Zheng Yucun remained silent.

It doesn’t matter whether Chen Chen is shameless or not.

The main thing was that the king on the rostrum showed a fatherly smile and the people below cheered.

This is enough.

The doctrine they believe in always says that "the savior will appear from the air."

Drone shows fit right in with this.

The only difference is that the doctrine does not mention the savior made in CHN at all.

then.

the next day.

The formal forum was held in a peaceful atmosphere.

In the magnificent cabinet, princes headed by Salaman were still talking about yesterday's performance with great relish.

"Mr. Chen, Director Zheng, on behalf of the royal family, we would like to sincerely thank you again for the gifts you brought to the king."

Zheng Yucun waved his hand: "This is what I should do."

"Director Zheng is still as humble as ever."

Zheng Yucun looked back at Chen Chen, feeling helpless and a little funny.

This is not modesty.

For Chen Chen, putting on a drone show is just a simple matter of sprinkling water.

Especially for Chendun, a company that started out as a flight control company, controlling tens of thousands of drones to line up in the sky is much easier than delivering express packages accurately on customers' heads.

So much so that the director was just wearing headphones throughout the performance and did not do any operation at all. Everything was done by algorithms.

But for the princes who had never seen the world, the shock it brought was incomparable, and they all marveled at the progress of Dongda's drone technology.

Even Salaman, one of the few technical pragmatists, would feel ashamed.

The Prophet once said: "Even though knowledge is far away in the East, one should seek it."

Now it seems.

The prophet is indeed a prophet and he does not deceive me.

Over the past few years.

The book that Salaman reads the most is the instruction manual of the Morning Shield UAV.

In particular, he is a good student with a high pursuit of knowledge.

In addition to the manual of the drone, I am also very curious about the manual of the missile.

Today, he has 30 billion yen in tuition fees in his hand, and he doesn't know whether he can join the training class for powerful countries at the University of Tokyo.

Ever since.

In a peaceful atmosphere, the negotiations with ulterior motives of both sides officially kicked off.

Zheng Yucun asked two technicians to play a PPT, which listed some weapon system data within the scope of confidentiality.

In fact, this move is just a formality.

It is mainly for those princes present who don't know much about it.

As for Salaman, Zheng Yucun didn't even consider selling it to him.

He knew that Salaman had done his homework a thousand times before he decided on FD2000.

"Mr. Zheng, isn't the hit rate data a little low?" Salaman looked at it for a long time and was a little skeptical about the content on the PPT.

Zheng Yucun shook his head and explained: "No, these test data are all obtained based on our experimental verification."

"Proof? Don't you have any actual firing data?"

Zheng Yucun said calmly: "No, because what we are about to discuss is the export version of the red wine, and the data is different from the red wine B currently shipped."

Having said this, the princes looked at each other in surprise.

Foreign trade edition.

Translated it means beggar version.

Some key core components will be simplified

For example, the recognition system.

The interception rate of this Red Wine B set is as high as 80%, but it is limited to intercepting foreign enemy aircraft.

If the hypothetical enemy includes the East China University of Technology Air Force, the interception rate may be 0.

After thinking it over, Salaman accepted it silently.

It’s the beggar’s version, it’s better than nothing.

After nearly an hour and a half of PPT presentation, the princes were indeed very excited.

The negotiation process then came to the issue of price, which Zheng Yucun was most concerned about.

"Your Excellency, please know that if this deal is concluded, your country will become the first country in the region to be equipped with this type of advanced regional air defense system."

Salaman nodded slightly: "This also just shows the high level of confidence between the two of us. We are partners."

Chen Chen looked at Salaman's relaxed response and thought that this old guy was no pushover.

They will first build a good relationship with you, praise the seller highly, and make it difficult for the seller to speak up.

Partners are partners, but partners also have different price levels.

Chen Chen felt the need to help Zheng Yucun: "Sir, how much do you think our partnership is worth?"

Salaman was slightly stunned: "Sir Chen, you said yesterday that we were close comrades-in-arms."

"Of course you and I are close comrades. Am I not here on behalf of my family?"

Chen Chen didn't fall for it at all.

Every sentence ended with a question mark, forcing Salaman to respond.

Anyway, in this negotiation, I am the party with bargaining chips.

There's no need to panic.

Salaman looked back at the princes' expressions and decided to show some bargaining chips first: "We have no doubts about the performance of FD2000. Even if it is a modified version, as long as we can have regional denial capabilities, we are willing to introduce 20 sets."

"20 sets?" Zheng Yucun frowned.

"Yes, the situation makes us feel very uneasy. I believe that you have experienced it on the plane coming here. Half of the airspace in this area is blocked and prohibited due to the war."

"I know this……"

Zheng Yucun pursed his lips and looked at Chen Chen.

What are you afraid of?

Although they were in a favorable position in this negotiation, their only weakness was numbers.

Our psychological expectation is ten sets.

The other party expected 20 sets. The two sides did not stand on the same consensus, and conflicts immediately emerged.

Fortunately, Chen Chen had made a similar prediction yesterday, so Zheng Yucun had some idea in his mind.

Since the other party wants so much, the price must be raised.

Let Salaman give up.

So Zheng Yucun directly avoided the quantity and started raising the price.

"Based on the price of air defense systems of the same level and taking into account the risks brought by the international situation, we price each system at $13 billion."

"13 billion?"

Zheng Yucun nodded: "Yes, it is only the price of a single set of weapons, not including the cost of personnel training and equipment maintenance."

"... "

There was a brief micro-expression on Salaman's face.

He took a deep breath, his eyes showing a hint of shock.

Although it was very subtle, it did not escape Zheng Yucun's eyes.

It's okay to be shocked.

This price is tailor-made for you.

It is definitely high.

The main reason is that asking for 20 sets at once is too rude. We’re asking for a very premium price to dampen your arrogance.

When you are ready to reduce the quantity, we will enter into formal negotiations.

It's like going to a flea market and buying something.

Whenever I asked the price, it was always around one or two hundred.

But the final transaction price was only one dollar and two cents.

When neither party is sure of the other's sincerity, the price is nonsense.

As Zheng Yucun waited, Salaman finally came back to his senses: "Okay."

"????"

"????"

"????"

Zheng Yucun was confused.

They absolutely can't.

No!

That's not how the script was written.

My ideal price for this thing is 8 million, but I asked for 13 billion.

A full 5 million yuan difference.

For 20 sets, the price difference is 100 billion.

There is no fucking after-sales service.

What will be enough?
Looking back at Chen Chen, he was also confused.

Although Chen Chen was already mean enough, his advice made Zheng Yucun ask for a huge amount of money.

But even if Zheng Yucun stretched his mouth to the back of his head, it was still not as big as Salaman's spoon.

Good guy.

I still underestimated Salamanca's strength.

However, Chen Chen's acting skills are better than Zheng Yucun's. He can remain calm and finish the conversation without showing any emotion.

"Since you have no objection to the price."

"Then let's talk about maintenance."

"You know, FD2000 is the most advanced air defense system in the world."

“Daily maintenance and upkeep are very troublesome.”

"If the equipment is delivered in a short period of time, I'm afraid your personnel will not be able to undertake the heavy task."

Salaman was not interested in these details: "I understand that you can send a team for training, and we will bear the expenses during the training period."

"It is definitely too late to teach you now. I think it is better for our people to operate in the early stage, and then hand it over to you after you have formed combat effectiveness."

When Zheng Yucun heard the conditions proposed by Chen Chen, he immediately gave a thumbs up.

It makes it possible for unscrupulous businessmen to make a living.

Since the price doesn’t scare them, adding additional conditions will be fine, right?
Chen Chen's proposal was equivalent to telling Salaman that 13 billion could only buy the right to use, not the right to own.

This condition is very harsh and even somewhat humiliating.

But Chen Chen and Zheng Yucun couldn't think of it.

Countries like this have a different understanding of dignity.

In the past, when you bought weapons from the United States, you not only did not have the right to own them, you were also unable to fire them as you wished.

Sometimes Salaman couldn't even touch the weapons he bought.

It was said to be military purchases, but in fact it was just spending money to invite a bunch of big shots back.

At least it’s not like that at Todai, where you can even touch the weapons.

Salaman did not hesitate too much: "There is no problem in principle. We can discuss the details."

"..."

Chen Chen is a little bit confused.

you……

Still underestimated Salamanca's desire to become a great power.

I was just joking, why did you agree to it?

So I earned the training fees with tears, but I shouldn't give them the right to use the weapons?
Salaman's straightforward response made Chen Chen's degree of profiteer increase again.

The key point is that Chen Chen didn't intend to be so treacherous.

He just wanted to ask for an exorbitant amount of money and create divisions in the negotiations so that everyone would return to the original starting point.

Unexpectedly, instead of any disagreements, the intentions of both parties accelerated.

Since this has come to this, Chen Chen can only give up.

You have money, right?

Then I will kill you.

"We have one more request regarding Wei Xiu's maintenance."

"In recent years, exchanges between the two sides have become increasingly frequent."

"Your country has previously ordered our drone production line and introduced a large number of our technical personnel."

“We are about to order the FD2000 system this time.”

“It is foreseeable that more factories and technicians will move into your country in the future.”

"In order to protect the rights and interests of our personnel, we intend to add an additional clause to the sales agreement."

Salaman was a little wary: "What's the content?"

"Please plan an exclusive economic zone for us."
