"It doesn't take long. Maybe three months is enough."

On the other side, NPU.

The operation of the carbon fiber production line will naturally not be hidden from Chen Nian. Although he does not need to be directly involved in the process, in any case, as the actual leader of Spark, such a major decision cannot be bypassed by him.

Therefore, before the inquiry letter was sent out, he had already received Chen Guo's notice and understood the entire plan.

And now, he was sitting in Chen Guo's office, listening to his report on the progress of the plan.

"The preliminary quotation from the island country has been sent, but if we want to further clarify the BOQ, we still have to arrange a meeting with them."

"At present, their quotation is a bit scary, almost three times the international average price."

"Obviously, they have defeated us this time - but it is true that it is impossible for them to break up with their masters without giving them all the benefits."

Chen Nianshen nodded in agreement, but then said with a hint of ridicule:

"When BOQ comes out, we have to watch it carefully. Don't let people package and sell the toilets to us, and we still have to pay stupidly."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo burst into laughter.

In fact, the example mentioned by Chen Nian really does exist.

In the 1980s and 1990s, China imported a large number of machine tools and equipment from island countries, and the quotations for these machine tools and equipment included a series of so-called "additional facilities" that were not necessary at all.

Millions of flush toilets, hundreds of thousands of lighting bulbs, tens of thousands of spare screws

At that time, under the exaggeration of readers and other impurities, this malicious quotation behavior was still washed away.

Isn’t there a very classic story from that time?

If the machine is broken, ask an engineer to repair it.

The engineer drew a line on the machine and removed the coil one centimeter along that line, and the problem was solved.

In the end, the engineer charged one million dollars, euphemistically saying that "it only costs one dollar to draw a line, but it costs 990,000 to know where to draw it."

It is this kind of story that takes the so-called "superiority of technology" to the extreme.

At that time, some people really believed that a set of machine tool equipment should include living facilities.

Maybe those toilets are also specially designed to improve production efficiency?

Or some people say that if you don’t have the skills, you should pay whatever price you pay for it, so who says you can’t do it?——

Bah!

Americans can’t do everything. When you sell to them, why don’t you dare to draw a line and charge one million?

In the final analysis, the way of communication is determined by the strength of the country.

Thinking of this, he said:

"Don't worry, I probably won't do this again in my childhood now. At least, it won't be so blatant."

"Their THAAD contract is still in our hands. This thing is a double-edged sword."

"If we are willing to deliver normally, there will be no problem. But if we are really anxious and make some other fuss about this matter, they will definitely not be able to take advantage of it."

"However, I can't do it openly. I will definitely do disgusting things."

"Isn't this just quoting us three times the price? I guess there are a lot of tricks in it."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Chen Nian asked.

In fact, Chen Guo had already told him the preliminary plan before this.

But from Chen Nian's point of view, the possibility of realizing those plans is not too high.

Either extreme pressure and intimidation, or technical cooperation and technology exchange.

The former does not conform to business logic. If used in the current situation, the greatest possibility is to directly force the other party to death and give up the transaction directly.

The price of the latter is a bit too high.

After all, China will eventually produce its own equipment, and the introduction now is just for emergency purposes. If the cost is too high, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Hearing Chen Nian's question, Chen Guo smiled mysteriously and then replied:

"We plan to help them with a small thing."

"A small thing to do? Help them?"

Chen Nian was shocked.

What are you doing?

After all, do we still have to rely on low profile to please them in order to facilitate this deal?

If this is the case, then why do you work so hard to export technology?

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Isn’t it just carbon fiber?

At best, you can spend some time making it yourself.

Problems with the production line can obviously be solved by myself.

Now that I have more than 20 source points in my hand, I can cut through the carbon fiber production line no matter how difficult it is.

After all, chip projects can be done like this, but carbon fiber can’t do it?

He subconsciously wanted to speak, but suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

——

etc.

This is not Xinghuo's style either.

This is not Chen Guo's style either.

With his character, it would be good if he didn’t bury some foreshadowing and create some obstacles in the transaction. How could he be so honest and honest in trying to please the island country?

Chen Nian instantly realized that the little thing Chen Guo mentioned might not really be "helped by them."

"So what is it?"

Chen Nian calmed down and asked curiously.

Chen Guo laughed and did not answer directly, but asked instead:

“Do you know what the Gauteng High Speed ​​Rail project has given us?”

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously:

"Bigger markets, technological advancements, gold mines, etc. What does this have to do with a small thing?"

"Of course there is a relationship, and the relationship lies in the market."

Chen Guo deliberately lowered her voice and continued to ask:

"Do you know who took the initiative to contact us after the construction of the Gauteng High Speed ​​Rail started?"

Chen Nian had heard of this news, so he said without thinking:

"In Africa, there are Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia. I heard that they have all expressed their intentions. In Asia, there are Thailand, Singapore, and... Huh?"

Chen Nian suddenly reacted.

A name popped into his mind.

"What the hell?! Are you so dark-hearted?!"

"Have you thought of it?"

Chen Guo nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Nian also nodded.

He probably guessed what Chen Guo planned to do.

What he wanted to do should not have happened until several years later.

However, the advanced development of China's high-speed rail technology has also advanced the progress of this matter.

but

“How do you know their high-speed rail project is a scam?”

Chen Nian asked doubtfully.

"Why don't you think about it? Are there any pitfalls in their projects?"

"No matter what, I still have to do a full set when acting."

"We have to act well and make them think that this small thing is a big thing that we have finally managed."

"As for how it develops in the future, that has nothing to do with us."
