Chapter 560 Not expensive, really not expensive

Chapter 560 Not expensive, really not expensive
Tai Po Niu was dressed formally in a suit and tie, leading the way. Before they entered the lobby, he chuckled and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Yin, that Lao Yi just arrived in Hong Kong Island and he shouted that he wanted to buy special equipment from the mainland."

"We spent a lot of money, but in the end the mainland refused to sell."

Yin Zhaotang smiled and patted his chest: "Speak softly, I have a translator with me."

Dabu Niu grinned and walked into the elevator with his head held high: "What are you afraid of? I'm praising him for being rich, isn't that enough?"

Yin Zhaotang shook his head, stood in the elevator, adjusted his tie, and said in a serious tone: "Anyway, it's a good thing that big customers are willing to spend money, so please be polite."

"Get ready for the meeting."

"Yes." Dabu Niu's face changed and he became tense. Ding, at the elevator door and in the executive corridor, two mainland security guards immediately came forward for a close inspection.

Xu Gang, Niu Qiang, Zuoshou, Dapao, Danta, and Ale all opened their arms and accepted the inspection obediently.

The sky-high priced order came.

Lao Zhong must bring more people with him to show his importance. This is just right for Zuoshou and Dapao to broaden their horizons and brainwash them to see what big business is.

If similar occasions happen a few more times, even the dumbest people will understand that patriotism is not in vain. This will save some people from becoming arrogant and unwilling to acknowledge their poor relatives after making a little money in business.

After confirming that there was no tracking device, the group walked into the conference room. Originally, the executive floor was for residents and had no conference room, but after Lao Zhong booked the entire building and the military attaché and security department moved in, the floor was officially blocked and the executive lounge used to entertain guests was converted into a conference room.

Regent boss Cheng Yu-tung even cleared out all executive suites and announced to VIP guests that the lounge was under maintenance and unavailable. The men in black who came and went took the owner's passage, which was not noticeable. Apart from the buyer and seller, few people in Hong Kong Island knew about the transaction.

Looking at the lounge set up as a conference venue, the left hand, Dapu Niu and the others were curious. The anti-espionage equipment that the Chinese side had taken out was so numerous and large that they had never seen it before. There were also many security personnel wearing headsets and hanging guns on their waists. Technicians were sitting in front of the operating tables of various equipment.

A quick glance showed that there were more than 40 people in the venue for security support alone. The remaining 13 were Iranian representatives and 15 were domestic representatives. Even Liang Manping was holding a glass of wine, talking politely with the foreign guests at the buffet table.

Yin Zhaotang and his group arrived an hour early, but they were still the last of the group. But thinking about it carefully, the other two groups were staying in the hotel and dining in the lounge, so it was normal to start chatting early, and neither side was being rude.

Liang Manping obviously took on the responsibility of being the chief diplomat. He was quite magnanimous and waved his hand, saying, "Atang is here. Although he is an hour early, time is precious. So, shall we start?"

Ali Daei was 52 years old, with long eyebrows and wide eyes, a lean body, and many wrinkles on his skin. He was wearing an Iranian general's uniform and looked very majestic. He answered in a loud voice: "No problem, we will follow your arrangements."

Although it was low-key, this meeting could barely be elevated to a state event. Different levels give people different feelings.

Even the lively and generous Dapu Niu consciously shut his mouth, went to the sides of the meeting table that had been set up earlier, and found a corner to sit down.

Dan Tart sat on the boss's right hand, took a weapons atlas sent by Cheng Shuangfu, flipped through two pages, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Choose that star, one shell is enough to buy a Porsche."

Zuo Shou whispered beside him: "National affairs are about war and sacrifice."

There was no PPT to display products in those days, but the picture album played a considerable role. The carefully crafted booklet not only had pictures and facts, but also performance, price, and various parameters, all marked by the experts in the group. Only a few unpopular weapons have not been sold abroad, and most of the other equipment has been verified internationally.

"Old Iran" was obviously coming for the Hongqi-4 air defense system. He had just lit up his cigar and hadn't taken two puffs when he asked, "Our army wants to order ten sets of Hongqi-4 air defense missiles and one hundred artillery shells to be deployed in provincial capitals. How long will it take for your company to deliver the goods?" Huang Zhe was shocked. He didn't expect Iran to ask for ten sets of Hongqi-4, a full 4 million US dollars, which was five times the minimum target. All his prepared plans were scrapped. Instinctively, he wanted to repeat himself to buy some time: "Hongqi- is priced at million US dollars per set, and US dollars per artillery shell."

Ali Daei remained calm and said, "Your company does not need to worry about our army's ability to pay. This business delegation has $500 million in cash, which has been transferred to a special offshore bank account. The excess amount can be settled with oil and mineral resources."

Huang Zhe laughed in panic and quickly explained: "I am not worried about your settlement ability. Ten Hongqi 4s can be delivered to Iran in three months."

The goods can be delivered in three months, and they are 100% stock. But the war in Iran is tight, so they need to be fast! The speed at which the Chinese side agreed obviously satisfied Ali Daei, and he was already somewhat happy, and his slight dissatisfaction with Liang Manping's "settlement method" was completely eliminated.

However, all the Chinese representatives present felt that something was wrong.

Ten units are already decided?

No bargaining?
Don't want a discount?

No, they had trained themselves for today, just waiting for the chance to speak eloquently and perform like crazy. But the Iranian representatives didn't even give them a chance, and used their hard power to destroy them.

As the Minister of Logistics, he doesn't bargain for outsourced purchases.

Countless Chinese people sighed in their hearts: "It's good to be rich."

Ah Le and Da Pu Niu were laughing happily beside them.

Yin Zhaotang was very good at seizing opportunities to show off. He immediately put on a stern face and said in English, "Boss Huang, five million US dollars for one unit is a bit expensive."

Huang Zhe understood what he meant, and with a smile, he started a duet with Shen Xian Tang, using performance, combat record, and various other reasons. In the end, he offered each Hongqi 4 a free -round missile, and contracted five years of maintenance and personnel training.

Ali Daei was very surprised, and his eyes changed when he saw Yin Zhaotang. Cheng Shuangfu, Liang Manping, He Guangbiao and others finally knew who the big boss was. It must be the big boss!
However, thanks to the previous set of Hongqi 4, which was difficult to sell and was explained as a "fracture trial", the Iranian side was aware of the situation and did not think it was too expensive.

Even if the price increased tenfold, it was still a good deal in their eyes, because the selling price of cutting-edge weapons was thirty or forty times more expensive than the factory price, right?

Last time, I got a set for free, which was a good deal for them. Of course, the number of air defense systems is limited. One or two systems can protect the airspace of a core city. Even if air battles and ship attacks are fierce, ten systems deployed in the first and second-tier areas can meet Iran's current air defense needs.

The amount paid was not enough to buy two American Eagle Strike missiles.

But since it was cheaper than expected, not even one-tenth of the budget was spent.

Ali Daei was somewhat pleased with himself, and turned to the next page of the album without any psychological burden. "How long will it take for the J-7 to be delivered? Our army intends to import of them to make up for the losses of the air force."

Now that you are here, spend the budget where it counts and buy what you need to buy.

It’s an old Chinese thing and not expensive!
