Five days later, Lever welcomed a wave of guests from abroad.
The team was led by Satan’s special representative, Eric.
"Mr. Eric, welcome to you!" Zhao Ye didn't even bother to go out to greet them. He just stood in the conference room and waited for them to walk in.
Eric was not surprised or humiliated by being treated like this. Now Zhao Ye's international reputation and status were enough for Eric to pay him a visit.
"Dr. Zhao, thank you for inviting us to visit." When Eric heard Zhao Ye greeting him, he immediately reached out his hand and walked towards Zhao Ye.
The two shook hands and then sat apart.
"I heard that you came here this time to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment?" Zhao Ye asked straight to the point.
"Yes, we have such a plan." Eric answered honestly. This was not a secret. On the contrary, he wanted everyone to know the destination of his trip.
"I am very supportive of the just cause carried out by Date Palm Country. However, I heard that your procurement operation here is not going well. Frankly speaking, you and I think you have chosen the wrong direction."
Eric was stunned by what Zhao Ye said. He had never expected that Zhao Ye would speak so directly, which was not oriental at all. He was also planning to talk to Zhao Ye about computers, weather or other topics.
However, Zhao Ye directly said that he had chosen the wrong direction, which made Eric a little confused. He was here to purchase, and what he was doing recently was related work. How could he say that he had chosen the wrong direction?
"Dr. Zhao, I don't quite understand what you mean. You said I chose the wrong direction. What are you referring to?"
"That's what you are doing! Let me ask you, why do you come here to purchase weapons and equipment? Do you really think that the equipment provided to you here can help you win the war? Or do you just come here to purchase weapons at cheap prices?
A large number of weapons and then pile them on the battlefield?"
Zhao Ye's words made everyone stunned. What kind of trick is this? How could he belittle himself from the beginning?
Of course General Chen was also present. After listening to Zhao Ye's words, his eyes almost popped out of his head. It's not like this! People originally thought that the performance of our weapons was not high. We worked hard to achieve today's results. Why?
Are you trying to set things off for us?
Eric was also surprised! He thought that General Chen might want to use Zhao Ye's fame to help sell their arms, but he never expected that Dr. Zhao, being Dr. Zhao, would raise the question so sharply all of a sudden.
.
To be honest, he really has no confidence in the weapons and equipment here. But why is he still here? In fact, the same delegation also went to Western countries to purchase cutting-edge weapons and equipment, but the war
It is the most expensive thing to do. Even if there is countless liquid gold buried under their country, it cannot be used for the war.
Therefore, war weapons also need to pay attention to the combination of high, medium and low. If you blindly pursue high-end, no one can afford it.
But it would be too hurtful to say such words yourself.
"Dr. Zhao, we are very optimistic about your country's military equipment. We think this is exactly what we need." Eric's words are as official as they come, but General Chen and his group like to hear this.
"No, Mr. Eric, I think you are not telling the truth. Why can't we be more honest? You have no confidence in our military equipment. What you are optimistic about is Western military equipment. I think, in this case,
You can absolutely purchase their equipment. We will not dismantle the military equipment and sell it. This will not bring you victory, but will also damage our reputation and make our military equipment seriously underestimated by others in the future.
"
Zhao Ye's words immediately stunned Eric. After he reacted, he hurriedly asked General Chen who accompanied him: "General Chen, are Dr. Zhao's words your opinion?"
General Chen was immediately asked, what could he say? What could he dare to say?
Allowing Zhao Ye to participate in the negotiations was of course approved by the senior leaders. Logically speaking, Zhao Ye's words can represent the military. However, he can't really let Zhao Ye reject the other party like this? What if he really leaves?
manage?
General Chen broke into a cold sweat in an instant. Before he could figure out how to speak, a leadership secretary who accompanied them said: "Yes, Mr. Eric, our senior leader, has given full authority to Zhao
Comrade Ye, let’s conduct this negotiation. Zhao Ye’s opinion can be regarded as our final opinion.”
Suddenly, everyone in the party looked at the secretary.
But after he finished speaking, he lowered his head and stopped looking at or talking to anyone.
Zhao Ye was extremely happy. This was an authorization given to him, and it was also endorsed by the leader's secretary.
"Dr. Zhao, do you want to reject our purchase request?" Eric had to pay attention to Zhao Ye's attitude. Why? Because from now on, Zhao Ye has the power to make the decision.
"Yes, I think that you have no confidence in our equipment, so you will not cherish it too much when using it. This will have a serious reputational impact on our equipment. Therefore, we reject this sales method.
"
Zhao Ye's words were equally righteous, with an expression that said I don't want to sell him anymore.
Eric was of course very lively. He chattered for a long time, one diplomatic phrase after another. But none of them moved their butts.
Of course they didn't dare to move. If they really went back like this, it would be strange if the three mothers had to target them one by one.
In times of war, military procurement not only looks at the performance of the opponent's equipment, but also the opponent's international influence. At this time, if the three major mothers know about it, their delegation will want to "oppress" China because of their calculations.
Selling his weapons and equipment below cost price eventually led to the opponent closing the door to arms sales to them. The impact of this incident was enough to make his opponent laugh for three days and three nights.
Therefore, despite his sharp words, Eric could not move his butt.
Zhao Ye didn't move either. Both sides were acting. At this time, they had to coordinate with each other. No matter how good the actor was, it wouldn't work if there was no one to play with.
Zhao Ye waited for the other party to chatter for half an hour before he put down the tea cup in his hand and said slowly in Arabic: "Mr. Eric, you don't have to be so excited. In fact, it's not that we don't want to sell military equipment to you.
But if you buy weapons like you do, you will eventually lose the war. I also think about you, so if you waste this money now, why not keep it and use it to repay the loan after the war?"
Zhao Ye's words made everyone present extremely uncomfortable.
Eric felt that he had been despised by Zhao Ye, and his own people felt that Zhao Ye was too disrespectful to the other party by saying this. If he encountered someone with a bad temper, he would slam the table and leave.
However, how could a purchasing representative from a war country have such a bad temper? That kind of person only deserves to be on the battlefield.
"Dr. Zhao, although I think you have insulted our army and our people, out of my personal respect for you, I still want to ask you to finish your sentence." Eric acted like a little beast.
, said this sentence with great grievance.
General Chen and others' hearts skipped a beat when they saw this. What kind of backbone do you have? Where was your energy when you patted the table for me? Take it out, Zhao Ye is so insulting, but you patted him.
Table! How could you bully us? Why are you giving up now?
"Eric, let me ask you a question, do you want to win the war?"
"Of course, of course we long for victory! We will do this at any cost! The heroic soldiers will fight bloody battles to the last moment, and the heroic people of the Date Palm Country will persevere until the final victory. We have extremely firm confidence in this.
.”
"Eric, don't get excited. War is a game for the calm. Being too excited will make you lose your mind."
Zhao Ye persuaded the other party "kindly" and then said: "Since you are eager for victory, then I will sell victory to you!"
"What? Sell us victory?" Eric was confused by Zhao Ye's words. How to sell this thing?
"Eric, forget your previous thinking, it will not bring you victory. I heard that you are negotiating the tank business? Believe me, victory does not come with a few tanks!"
"What do you rely on?" Eric stared at Zhao Ye like a believer.
"Rely on information, rely on system, rely on cooperation, and rely on command. Generally speaking, this is what you need most!" As he said that, Zhao Ye took a picture of a folder in front of him and put it in front of the other party.
"What's this?"
"A package of equipment plan! An equipment plan that will enable you to win the war!"
Zhao Ye's words are extremely domineering at this moment!
"A package of equipment?"
"Yes, I heard that you are arguing about whether a tank should cost half a million dollars or a half-million dollars. To be honest, do you think a tank worth half a million dollars can win a modern war? No.
, simply not possible! What you need is a tank worth five million dollars a piece!"
"A five-million-dollar tank? Do you still have the latest tanks? Why didn't I see it?"
"Eric, I have to say that you know absolutely nothing about modern warfare! You just saw a tank, and you don't know how to use it at all." Zhao Ye's words were merciless, and he said it with all his heart.
Rick's old face turned red. This was not because he was ashamed, but because he was angry.
"Dr. Zhao, we know that you are a world-class expert in the field of electronics, but I'm afraid you have never been exposed to the field of war. You are the one who knows nothing about war!" This time it was not Eli.
Ke spoke, but it was a man in military uniform sitting next to him. It was obvious that he was a military representative.
"Haha, yes, I have never been to the battlefield. But, sir, do you know how to destroy a tank with the highest efficiency?" Zhao Ye's smile remained unchanged. He would not let the other party say that he didn't.
I lost my self-confidence after going to the battlefield.
"Of course, the most effective weapon against tanks is a more powerful tank!"
"No, you don't understand war. The most effective weapon against tanks is an airplane. It's a propeller-type drone!"
