We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Zhang Nan returned to the conference room, and Vasilisa came in shortly after receiving the notice.

After sitting down, the two sides started negotiations again.

“Mr. Vasilisa, I have already reported the price of the X-01m to my superiors.

We are very satisfied to sign this order at this price.

So the higher-ups decided to add some more, but I don’t know the price.”

It was normal to want to lower the price, and Vasilisa understood, but he did not agree.

"Mr. Zhang, our Luwu Equipment Company has just reached an agreement with the country, and the price we offer is our bottom price.

Everyone knows the price of a fighter jet of this performance in the international market. We have made great concessions, and I think you understand that."

Bargaining? Isn't that how business works?

To be honest, Vasilisa now doesn't understand why Luo Nianzhong asked him to give the lowest price right away.

In his opinion, given the performance of the X-01m, he could easily offer a price of $3000 million or even higher to the other party.

Now that I have set the price right away and there is no room for maneuver, the other party will not be satisfied mentally.

It's like you want to play a normal game of waist exercise with your girlfriend later in the evening, but she doesn't agree. You say you want to go through the back door, and then she not only lets you go through the front door, but also thinks you have compromised.

“I know that the price your company quoted is very sincere.

But we plan to purchase 25 to 30 X-01m, which will further reduce your manufacturing costs, right? "

"Indeed." Vasilisa nodded without denying it.

"However, Mr. Zhang should also understand that one hundred aircraft and one hundred and thirty companies actually have little impact on the cost."

Zhang Nan is also aware of this situation. Although large-scale manufacturing can reduce costs, producing more than 30 fighter jets will not bring about a qualitative change. It is just a routine operation to lower prices.

Seeing that the other party refused to give in, Zhang Nan paused and prepared to use his trump card.

"How about 3 years? This batch of orders can be completed within three years. If the results are good, there might be a second batch of orders."

"Ok?"

This condition impressed Vasilisa.

Defense orders for aircraft and warships are different from bullets and guns. Those orders are usually delivered within a year, and that's for large quantities. For smaller quantities, it can take two or three months.

But aircraft and warships are different. The production and delivery cycle of these big guys is generally three to five years for such a large order.

First, the production line really cannot keep up. No equipment company dares to operate at full capacity. When there are no orders, your wages can go bankrupt.

Another reason is that the amount is too large, and it is difficult for the buyer to come up with so much money at once.

Therefore, these orders are generally placed in cycles of half a year or several months, with a large order cut into several small orders, and a payment is made for each batch delivered.

Vasilisa originally estimated that it would be a blessing to be able to complete the large order of 01 X-m aircraft within five years, and it would not be surprising if it could take seven or eight years.

Unexpectedly, the other party proposed to complete it in three years, which is very tempting.

Based on what Vasilisa knows about the J10's current development status, five years is an extremely high expectation for mass production, and ten years is normal.

Now that this batch of X-01m will be fully commissioned within three years, there is a high probability of receiving large orders in the remaining time.

No one would be willing to have it if you have it and I don’t.

Everyone lived a hard life in the past, but now that you are rich, what do those troops that have not been equipped think?

The crying child gets the milk, and they won't sit at home and wait for pie to fall from the sky.

Even for this batch of orders, the troops in the entire coastal area will be fighting fiercely.

Looking at Vasilisa in deep thought and silence, Zhang Nan felt secretly proud.

These were what he had just negotiated with his superiors over the phone. Originally, their intention was to quickly deploy and form combat effectiveness within five years, so there was nothing wrong with shortening the time now.

As for the possible cost shortage, we can cut some of the projects, such as the research and development of J10.

Judging from the current situation, it will take at least five to eight years for the J10 to go into mass production, be deployed on a large scale, and then form combat effectiveness.

With this batch of X-01m, we can at least ensure that the domestic air force will not lag too far behind in this area during this period and can reach the level of international powers.

Looking at Vasilisa, Zhang Nan felt there was hope.

"no".

"Ah!" It was all in vain.

"But we can agree that the payment method will be US dollars plus goods."

Hmm? Zhang Nan looked at the other person in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"How about $2000 million plus $800 million in light industrial products?"

"light industry?"

There was some excitement in Zhang Nan's tone, this was an unexpected surprise.

"Yes, it's clothing, food and other products that can be produced domestically."

"Really?" Zhang Nan confirmed again and stood up.

No wonder he was so excited; this made him happier than reducing the cost of an airplane by $50.

An airplane costs eight million U.S. dollars, so a $35 billion order can roughly cut off about one billion U.S. dollars.

The key is that this can revitalize many factories, such as small third-tier factories.

In the 60s, due to some reasons at that time, the country needed depth and established many third-line projects in the rear.

It is divided into the Big Third Line and the Small Third Line. The Big Third Line is mainly composed of basic industries of the national defense industry, including transportation, post and telecommunications, fuel and power, etc.

The Small Third Front is responsible for guns, artillery, gunpowder, and some supporting industries.

Now that the international situation has changed and the country has opened up, these small third-tier factories have become a burden.

Since 83, the country has started the transformation of small third-line industries, but after so many years, there are only a few successful cases. Some factories dare not start because they are afraid of failure.

If these factories have no orders, the workers will have no income, and if the workers have no income, they will make trouble, so the living security spent on these factories every year is an astronomical figure.

Now that a billion-dollar order has come in, many factories will be able to have something to do and become self-sufficient. You know, these factories can produce many light industrial products.

Another factor is the financial department. The billion dollar order cannot be handled by these small third-tier factories alone, and the bulk of it still has to be given to other corresponding factories.

State-owned factories are not doing well right now, and such a large order could help revitalize the economy for a while. Maybe some factories will be able to escape from their difficulties.

This is a huge favor. When you have more funds in the future, won’t you approve more for me?

"Yes, you heard it right."

Seeing some doubt on Zhang Nan's face, Vasilisa smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, we have a way to sell these things."

"Ha." This time Zhang Nan laughed.

Since Vasilisa has promised it, it means he has obtained the promise from above.

How could a defense company possibly digest so many products? But if that person agreed, it would be a different story.

Not to mention light industrial products worth ten billion US dollars, even ten billion US dollars would be no problem.

In fact, just now Vasilisa returned to his office and called Luo Nianzhong. Luo Nianzhong attached great importance to this negotiation and asked him to report any news.

Why such a low price? We want value for money.

The reason why such conditions were given is to allow Luwu Equipment Company to increase its influence.

Not only in terms of equipment, but also in the field of people's livelihood.

When the orders from Luwu Equipment Company can affect the overall economy, it becomes our biological son, not the one raised by a stepmother.

There is no need to worry about having too many things; the Far East’s huge industry can consume them.

There is no problem with more. Da Mao and Er Mao are the back garden of the Luo family.

Clothing, cosmetics, tobacco, alcohol, daily chemical products, etc., these are the weak links of Da Mao and Er Mao, and Luo Nianzhong does not intend to develop them vigorously.

The triangle is the most stable, and the big hairy rabbit is the core of the Roche triangle.

You need me, I need him
