Chapter 105 Harrier? F-14? Crushed!(1/2)
Chapter 105 Harrier? F-14? Crush!
Two weeks later, Buenos Aires.
Wang Ming, general manager of Poly Technology, once again led the team in person, and this time their purpose was not to "sell", but to exchange.
Use advanced fighter jets and advanced ships that Argentina urgently needs in exchange for their abundant reserves of soybeans.
This is an extremely risky move because the negotiation process will inevitably involve an extremely sensitive topic:
Horse Island.
After the war in the 1980s, the island actually fell into British hands. Although Argentina protested every year and tried to negotiate every year, the result did not change.
In the hearts of all Argentines, this is a lingering painful memory, and the war in which they were completely crushed was their biggest shame in modern times.
Therefore, their entire country's attitude towards this controversial archipelago is extremely clear:
It must be taken back, no matter when, no matter how.
Wang Ming also took advantage of this to gain the opportunity to negotiate with Argentina.
In the office of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, several mysterious representatives from Argentina were sitting at the other end of the conference table. They looked at Wang Ming and his group with serious expressions, and spoke first:
"Before the meeting begins, we want to emphasize one point."
This strategy was finally adopted after it was determined that exporting the initial version of the digital array radar would not break our own technological generation advantage.
——
Of course, with such an astonishing offer, what Wang Ming wants to exchange for is actually not that simple.
Therefore, it is understandable that you have no experience in business negotiation.
"It's clear."
After finishing speaking, Wang Ming deliberately fell silent, waiting for the other party's reaction.
"There is also market access."
"You're willing to sell it to us? I mean, this is one of the most advanced radar technologies in the world, and you don't have ... leak concerns?"
"Of course not, Mr. Lozano."
"Can the J-8 III compete with the Harrier?"
"However, your request is still too high... If you want market access rights, then the soybeans we can exchange are only two million tons."
"Market access? Do you know what that means?"
"The F-14 is not enough to compete with the J-8 III."
You know, another company with the same nature as COFCO said this is not what they said.
"We are not barbarians like Cargill. What we want is just the right to participate in the market, not a monopoly like them."
Lozano nodded and continued:
It would be great if I could have a fighter plane in my hand that was strong enough to fight against it...
——
But now, the opportunity seemed to be right in front of him.
And the man in front of them... their reputation is extremely good.
"Even if we face the F-16 head-on, we are confident that we can achieve an exchange ratio of at least 2."
But after thinking about it, he realized:
These people sitting across from me are not Atanor executives, they are...
He had already made a decision in his mind, but he still planned to bargain again.
Just the right to participate, not the right to monopoly.
"This negotiation is a direct and purely commercial negotiation between two commercial companies. We represent Atanor Agrochemical Company, and you represent Poly Technology Defense Equipment and Services Company."
What followed was a one-sided crushing.
Hearing this, Lozano frowned tightly and asked in a stern voice:
"Mr. Wang Ming, do you know what you are talking about?"
In fact, even if the other party doesn't say it, he himself will continue to emphasize this point in subsequent meetings.
"Six million tons of soybeans."
"The industrial base requirements involved are extremely high. Whether it is gallium nitride or IGBT controls, they are not something you can copy in a short period of time."
After listening to Wang Ming's explanation, Lozano fell into deep thought.
Wang Ming nodded and replied with a smile:
"Yes, it's an airborne radar."
"Mr. Lozano, you can rest assured that on this point, our positions are consistent."
"Our iteration is once a year."
"You're talking about...airborne radar?"
Wang Ming nodded solemnly.
"We will never use unethical means to manipulate food prices, nor will we disregard your interests in pursuit of our own profits."
Super mobility, super electronic systems, super weapons...
"Do you think that just with those few fighter jets, we can betray the entire country?"
"The J-8 III is equipped with the latest phased array radar, and the J-10 is equipped with a digital array radar."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't make this offer to you."
"Can you understand this?"
Lozano's eyes widened in surprise and asked in disbelief:
"Are you sure you are talking about digital array radar? This technology is still in the verification stage. As far as I know, even the Americans only use it in a small number of ground radar stations."
When Wang Ming finished speaking, Lozano felt as if someone had stabbed him hard in his heart.
That year, his young men braved intensive anti-aircraft firepower and desperately sent bombs to the heads of British warships. But before they could cause damage to those destroyers, the Harrier fighters waiting to do their job had already quickly
Take off and join the battlefield.
"Digital array radar??"
So, he was not in a hurry to discuss the price with Lozano, but asked:
"Mr. Lozano, do you know the performance of the J-8 III and J-10?"
"Any agreement we reach only represents the interests and attitudes of the two companies."
In this case, just go with their rhythm and talk straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Wang Ming showed a smile on his face.
Although Wang Ming had already anticipated the other party's attitude, he was still a little caught off guard by being so tough.
Wang Ming shook his head, his expression still calm and gentle.
Those people came to destroy, to occupy, and even... to colonize.
But at least, this offer has given the other party enough shock, and the subsequent negotiations may be much smoother...
Because he doesn't want to get into any trouble at this time, especially he doesn't want to bring any trouble to the already difficult country.
Wang Ming shook his head disdainfully and replied:
"Crush."
"This is my guarantee and the guarantee of the company behind me."
Will not manipulate food prices.
"Can you make it?"
If the Hercules-class destroyers are a nightmare for the Argentine Navy, then the Harrier fighter jets are a nightmare for the Air Force.
Agree or disagree, just one sentence.
The negotiation had just begun. Lozano originally thought that his momentum would firmly suppress the other party, but unexpectedly, before even a few words had been exchanged, the situation on the court instantly reversed. Others just used one sentence to
Let yourself fall into a passive rhythm.
Especially what they have done in Africa in recent years all confirms their concept of "win-win cooperation".
"To put it bluntly, even if you do reverse engineering with the highest efficiency, it will take at least 10 to 20 years to copy the digital array radar."
Seeing Lozano's expression, Wang Ming nodded and replied:
"As for the technical issues, I can tell you bluntly."
A trace of imperceptible joy flashed across Lozano's face, but before he could pretend to be embarrassed, Wang Ming's next words turned his "pretended embarrassment" into "real embarrassment."
To be continued...
