However, as the information came again, the General Logistics Department was informed that the aircraft could be purchased with RMB!
Focus! RMB.
What the hell is there to hesitate about? We can have as many as we want! At worst, our military will open a banknote printing factory and I will print it for you myself!
As a result, a delegation of extremely high standards rushed to the United States.
The leader of the delegation, surprisingly, turned out to be Wang Wexue. This was an old acquaintance of Zhao Ye.
"Old Wang, when did you become a member of the military?" Zhao Ye curiously looked at Captain Wang who walked into the embassy and asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, who am I from the military? I am the representative of this business negotiation team and I am here to assist you in your work." Wang Wenxu said with a laugh. Then he introduced Zhao Ye again.
A group of people behind.
Only then did Zhao Ye know that there were only a few people from the military coming to the negotiations this time, and most of those who came were technical personnel. The one with the highest military rank was Major General Chen, who was in charge of the Air Force.
"Comrade Zhao Ye, thank you for your contribution to the motherland!" Major General Chen stood at attention and saluted Zhao Ye.
"General Chen, you're welcome. This is my motherland too, and it's my duty to make contributions. Let's not just thank you."
"Hahaha, yes, yes. We are all one family, you're welcome." Ambassador Chai was also very happy and immediately led everyone into the conference room.
"Comrade Zhao Ye, when we were in China, a lot of information was incomplete. Can you tell us about this matter in detail? What is it like?" Wang Wexue spoke first.
Immediately, Zhao Ye and Ambassador Chai introduced each other to everyone, and the whole story was clearly revealed in front of everyone.
General Chen was dumbfounded. Is this even possible? Exchange aphrodisiacs for fighter jets, and then sell the fighter jets to the military. This process is a bit awkward no matter how you listen to it. General Chen looked at Zhao Ye again, I really don’t know.
How did this guy who calls himself a scientist come up with such a weird idea?
"Comrade Zhao Ye, do you know the price of this aircraft?" General Chen had to remind Zhao Ye that this is not a small business worth tens of millions, but a big deal worth tens or tens of billions. His aphrodisiac
No matter how valuable it is, can it still be worth tens of billions of dollars?
"General Chen, you may not understand the value of my medicine. I have a complete patent on this medicine. According to our estimates, this medicine can sell for at least one thousand and fifty dollars during the entire patent validity period."
Sales revenue of 10 billion to 200 billion U.S. dollars. Excluding various costs, there is no problem in making hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars during the entire patent period."
Zhao Ye's words made everyone take a breath of air-conditioning. This amount was so huge that no one could imagine what a huge amount of money it was.
General Chen is a soldier, and he has a poor concept of money. But one thing he is sure of is that with so much money, he can even buy a pilot.
Just thinking about it makes me drool! Faced with the current "backfire nightmare" in the north, with such a weapon to fight against, even sleeping can be more peaceful.
The meeting started very late, and the entire delegation did not take much rest. Early the next morning, they rushed to the location of Grumman Corporation.
Long before the delegation left the country, they had already sent a letter to Grumman and agreed on this meeting. Grumman attached great importance to this matter. The two countries had just established diplomatic relations. If they could
Selling one's own fighter jets or other weapons to another party is a big deal for any military industrial group.
You know, that's a country! When weapons enter the opponent's equipment sequence, it means there will be endless business in the future. For example, missiles need to be consumed, aircraft need to be maintained, engines need to be refurbished, and even pilots need to be trained.
This is all business.
For Grumman, which is currently struggling on the edge of survival, whether it can accept this big order may even affect the company's survival.
Osido Grumman is the current head of Grumman Corporation. He has been in this position for five years. In these five years, he has experienced the highlight moments of Grumman Corporation, as well as its extraordinary growth.
The tragic years of Grumman Corporation. He was deeply worried about Grumman's future development.
Although everything seems to be calm for Grumman at the moment, there are already faint voices in the military not to continue purchasing F14s.
In addition, this year it lost to its old rival Boeing in the large-scale bombing project, and Grumman's prospects are really worrying.
In fact, what he didn't know was that his worries would eventually become reality. After the end of the Cold War, Grumman's business plummeted and was eventually acquired by Northrop.
Walking into Grumman's conference room, both parties greeted each other very cautiously. This was the first time for our country to contact the arms company of the United States. Similarly, it was also the first time for Grumman people to contact representatives from China. Both parties seemed particularly special.
polite and discreet.
Zhao Ye saw that the two parties were always discussing the weather, and felt that it was not a big deal, so he took the lead in breaking this "cordial and friendly" scene.
"President Osido, as we said in our letter to you, we are very interested in your company's F14. The first question I want to know is, can you sell this aircraft to us? Replace it with us.
In other words, will your country’s Congress approve this arms sales proposal?”
"Haha, don't worry about this. There is already a precedent for F14's arms sales to Asian countries. In this regard, we are confident that Congress will pass this proposal."
Osido said this with great confidence, but he may indeed have the confidence to do so. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As a well-known old military-industrial complex in the United States, it is impossible for Grumman not to have its own power in Congress.
.
"Okay, President Osido, let's move on to the second topic. Frankly speaking, we plan to purchase more than fifty F14s in the future, including the attached Phoenix missiles, spare parts, etc., with a total value of more than 10 billion.
US dollars." The data listed by Zhao Ye immediately shocked the people of M country present. You know, this is a big business! Ten billion US dollars is already higher than the GDP of most countries.
"No problem. Gentlemen, thank you for your trust in Grumman. Please rest assured that we will be able to deliver fighter jets and accessories in a timely manner with guaranteed quality. Even if our production capacity is not enough, we can postpone the procurement of our country's military.
Finally, we guarantee timely delivery. This can be written into the contract."
The representatives of Zhao Ye were stunned when they heard this. This was so daring. They could delay the delivery of their own products, but they also had to ensure timely delivery. To be honest, they all wanted to check whether this Osido was
We are our own comrades living abroad.
"Thank you, President Osido. We have seen Grumman's sincerity. However, we still have a small problem." Zhao Ye smiled very softly at this time, as if he was sitting opposite a beauty like Hepburn.
"Please tell me, we can resolve any problems through negotiation." Osido is very optimistic about this deal. With this income, Grumman can redesign a model and participate in the next arms purchase competition.
Yes, this is a major event that determines Grumman's life and death. Compared with this, everything is trivial.
"We have no money!" Zhao Ye said so calmly that the translator on the side asked "lease say again!"
"We have no money!" Zhao Ye was still very calm.
Oshidodo's own translator was very dissatisfied. How could he treat his big client with this attitude?
But before he could scold his translator, the translator repeated Zhao Ye's words in English: "They have no money!"
"What!?" Osido thought he heard wrongly. You have no money? Why are you talking to me about a tens of billions of big business if you don't have the money? Are you kidding me?
Before everyone on the other side could really fall out, Zhao Ye immediately took out a stack of documents from his backpack. Along with the documents, there was a small transparent glass bottle containing a few blue pills.
Osido curiously took the things Zhao Ye handed over, including the small transparent bottle.
He takes it very seriously. In his opinion, a country's purchasing group, no matter how unreliable the country is, will not tell a joke to him all the way.
There must be some other solution!
Soon, Ocedo found the answer from these documents. This is a drug that can make people regain their youth. He looked at the patent documents, then looked at the analysis documents of Merck Group, and finally looked at the final results of Zhao Ye and Merck.
The dispute showed that the old man suddenly realized that he might have really gotten a big deal.
Osido looked at it very seriously, and the other people around the old man also looked at it very seriously. They were all business operators, and they quickly read through what Zhao Ye gave them and basically sorted it out.
The whole story.
Why is Zhao Ye not afraid that Grumman will also monopolize his patents? In fact, this talks about the nature of Grumman. After all, it is also a military industry company. If he wants to enter the pharmaceutical industry, he must have reasonable and legal qualifications.
Patents are the only thing. Otherwise, Merck will be the first to quit. Why would you make money with something that I finally robbed? If you, a layman, can produce it, then any company can produce it. How else can I make money?
?
Therefore, Grumman will have to confront Merck no matter what. At this time, if Grumman has a patent in hand, it will be a different story.
Merck dares to go toe-to-toe with an Easterner like Zhao Ye, but ask him, does he dare to go toe-to-toe with Grumman? They make fighter jets and missiles. If they want you to be destroyed humanely, there is no need to go out and buy a gun.
.
Grumman is short of money, but it is not short of bombs. In our words, it is poor and poor.
The meeting was suspended at this point, and the reason given by Osido was that they needed to verify the accuracy of these things.
Of course Zhao Ye and the others will not refuse. This is human nature. Besides, the authenticity of the patent document is also easy to check. One day is enough for these people to check this thing clearly.
Osido returned to the office and was a little dazed looking at the small medicine bottle that Zhao Ye left behind.
Osido, who is in his fifties, yearns for regaining his youth.
