Chapter 557 Are We Greedy?

Just two days later, the business team set up in China arrived in Hong Kong Island first.

This business group is of higher standard, with Huang Zhe, general manager of Precision Machinery Company, as the group leader. The group members include He Guangbiao, manager of Precision Machinery Business Department, Lin Liqun, manager of Norinco Business Department, Cheng Shuangfu, Norinco representative in Hong Kong, Liu Feng, aerospace expert, and Gong Guohao, military representative.

After picking up everyone at Luohu Port, Dapu Niu took them to the executive floor of the Regent Hotel.

After dinner, Huang Zhe took the initiative to suggest holding a meeting.

Da Pu Niu arranged a meeting room and contacted Yin Sheng. In less than half an hour, Yin Zhaotang arrived at the hotel and entered the meeting room. Everyone had not yet sat down. They were smoking and discussing ideas.

Cheng Shuangfu was standing at the door, his eyes fixed on the carpet. He threw away his cigarette butt immediately and walked towards the young man in a black suit, a blue tie, and an American-style bangs.

"Yin Sheng, long time no see."

Yin Zhaotang held his hand, patted his shoulder and talked about the past, smiling happily: "Mr. Cheng, it's nice to see you again. There is another big order."

Cheng Shuangfu had made great contributions to foreign exchange earnings last time, and had been promoted to the next level, enjoying the treatment of a deputy director. He was originally considered a star figure in Northern Industry because of his high position.

But in today's lineup, he was really not good enough, and he was very cautious. He introduced everyone's identity: "Let me introduce to you Mr. Huang from Precision Machinery, the business team leader for this meeting, and the head of Precision Machinery Company."

Huang Zhe didn't wear a coat, just a blue shirt with the hem tucked into his belt. He had a bulging belly and wore glasses, but he still looked dignified when he smiled. His outfit was a little rustic, but he was also energetic and capable.

"Yin Sheng, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

Yin Zhaotang shook hands with Huang Zhe, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then politely greeted the other team members. He then waved and said directly, "Sit down and talk."

"From a regional perspective, I am the host, so I will be responsible for your food, drinks and entertainment while you are on a business trip in Hong Kong Island. However, from a business perspective, you are the big bosses, and I will follow the host's wishes and try my best to cooperate. Now I am all ears, haha."

Just a few simple opening remarks made everyone look happy and laugh, creating a relaxed atmosphere for the meeting.

Huang Zhe was also relieved and asked the team members to take out the information and show it to Yin Sheng first. Although everyone will make money from this large order, the sale of cutting-edge weapons involves relations between countries.

The lowest rank among the Iranian delegation members was a lieutenant colonel, and the decision maker was still the then Revolutionary Guards' logistics unit. They needed to talk directly to the Chinese side, and the Chinese side also needed to talk to them. In fact, this big order had skipped Zhongyi Group, and there was a suspicion of "order-jumping intermediary". Huang Zhe, Lin Liqun, He Guangbiao and others were somewhat worried.

I'm really worried that Yin Zhaotang will be unhappy and mess up the negotiations.

That's right, if the talks are successful, the Chinese side must be there, but if the talks fail, the Zhongyi Group is enough. However, judging from the attitude shown by Shenxiantang, it seems that they don't care about the order-jumping behavior and are happy to see it happen.

He Guangbiao secretly admired him: "He is worthy of being a member of the Zhi Gonghui. He is politically strong and reliable!"

If you put yourself in his shoes, you will realize that he cannot remain calm in the face of such huge profits.

After Huang Zhe said some polite words, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said seriously: "I asked Mr. Yin to come to the meeting despite his busy schedule. There are two main things to do. The first is about the price of various weapons to the Iranian military, and the second is about the service fee to Zhongyi Group."

Yin Zhaotang was still looking down at the information in his hand, which included the personnel background of the Iranian delegation and the cost price of various domestic weapons.

There are not only air defense weapons and ship-borne missiles, but also tank armor and individual weapons.

It seems that Norinco also wants to take advantage of the popularity and promote its products as much as possible.

After hearing the word "service fee," he raised his head, his face calm, and asked, "How much did the country promise to give?"

Huang Zhe said after careful consideration: "Considering that Mr. Yin is responsible for shipping and transshipment, the risk he bears is not small. After comprehensive consideration, we can provide a commission of 20 points of the transaction amount."

Zuo Shou was sitting next to him, looking surprised, thinking to himself, "That's a lot."

In fact, Dapao, Danta, and Zuoshou had been meeting with the boss in the company in the afternoon. In the end, they discussed that if the turnover could be 15 points, the net profit would be 20 points, which would be a very large order. The small-scale arms export is still the model of the state wholesale, Lao Zhong sells it himself, and earns whatever he earns.

But for truly cutting-edge weapons and large orders worth over 100 million yuan, both Dapu Niu and Shenxiantang are only worthy of taking the profits.

This is on the premise that the buyer has connections and holds a legal arms license, shares in a shipping company, and has no resources. If you don't have any resources, how can you be a rich man when you are a precision machinery export company?

If I say I’ll jump on your singles, I’ll jump on your singles!

You can even be fined, believe it or not.

"Of course, your company will be responsible for any losses that occur during shipping," Huang Zhe added.

The reason why the business group went to Hong Kong five days in advance was to reach an internal consensus first, distribute the benefits, and then take advantage of Iran.

Yin Zhaotang nodded slightly and agreed readily: "No problem, twenty is twenty, it's enough for me to earn."

Huang Zhe laughed and praised: "Mr. Yin is a quick talker, it's really pleasant to talk to him. There is one more thing I have to explain. After all weapons are re-exported by Zhongyi Group, they can no longer use domestic models and need to be renamed."

"Staff Officer Gong has received a complaint from the Iraqi foreign affairs department. The country is facing a bad environment, and we'll have to ask you to help gain more space."

Iraq purchased a large amount of Soviet equipment, but due to limited military budget in the later period, it turned to purchasing Chinese equipment. It has long been a major customer of Shenfei and Norinco.

The Iraqi Air Force, currently known as the strongest air force in the Middle East, has more than 80 aircraft in service, including 7 J-4s and 6 H-Ds.

From the early stage of the war to the second stage, Iraq purchased a total of 2860 Chinese Type 69 tanks, as well as a large number of Type 63 armored vehicles and 107mm rocket launchers.

In Iraq's foreign military expenditure budget, Chinese funds account for 40 percent, second only to the Soviet Union and higher than France.

Because of this relationship, China has been slow to connect with Iran. Iran also prefers European and American equipment, but it can't afford it, so it turns to Chinese equipment. In the middle, Dapu Niu kept making arrangements and building connections, and only then did he squeeze into Iran's procurement list little by little.

You won’t know until you use it. Once you use it, you will be surprised. Chinese weapons, which have always been known for their cheapness, are so sharp in cutting-edge air defense systems.

Due to international perception, Iran, which has long been supported by Europe and the United States, cannot openly purchase weapons from China.

Re-export companies have become very necessary, and the significance of Hong Kong's existence is to give domestic products a "cleanse".

No matter whether it is a "bath missile" or a "bath T-shirt", as long as water is pumped, it must be washed clean.

Yin Zhaotang smiled and said in a playful tone, "Mr. Huang has already paid the commission. Even if the missile grows out of the ground, is dug out of the desert, or gushes out of an oil well."

"It is impossible that they are exported from China. As for the name, let Iran choose it. After all, you have to believe in the wisdom of the Iranian people. They can develop a new long-range air defense system on their own. It will definitely work."

Huang Zhe saw Yin Zhaotang coming up and couldn't help but sigh, "How can a Hong Kong businessman be so familiar with our style of doing things?"

"Then we will proceed to the next meeting to determine the prices of various weapons."

"It is certain that Iran is targeting the Hongqi-4 medium- and long-range air defense system. The last time I paid Yin Sheng for it, it was $ per set."

"This time, it's time to raise the price. After our collective research, we decided to double the price and sell it for one million US dollars per set!" Huang Zhe gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and quoted a sky-high price.

He Guangbiao, Cheng Shuangfu, Liu Feng and others also raised their eyes quietly, observing the changes in Yin Zhaotang's expression, hoping not to leave the impression of greed to their compatriots.
