Chapter 640 Technical Blockade

"Although the exoskeleton system we are discussing is a little higher than that of an ordinary type of exoskeleton system. However, compared with the ordinary type, the firepower output is ten times greater. With this vitality output and the maneuverability of this exoskeleton system, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can easily kill a warship. Her Majesty the Queen, please think about it. An exoskeleton that can easily kill a warship is only one-twentieth of an ordinary warship. Don't you think this is a very cost-effective thing?" Du Xiaochuan said with temptation in his words.

When the little queen heard Du Xiaochuan say this, she was even more angry and was about to burst into flames.

I think if she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, Her Majesty the little queen would have rushed over immediately and bit Du Xiaochuan to death.

"How can this exoskeleton system be compared with a warship? Even the most ordinary warship is a very huge expense just for the material cost. With the various powers and weapon systems equipped, it consumes extremely large amounts of funds. Elder Du, you exoskeleton systems, except for the incomprehensible secret core, are very limited. This price is really a bit..." The little queen tried her best to restrain her anger and said to Du Xiaochuan.

Du Xiaochuan was not concerned about this, but continued: "But the combat power that can be exerted in real combat is not weaker than that of a warship, right? Besides, our Alchemy City wants to produce such heavy exoskeletons against ships, with our craftsmanship, it is also very expensive. In the process of craft production, the funds consumed by each of these exoskeletons are unimaginable. This price is actually not as outrageous as you imagine."

Then Du Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Of course, if you really think this thing is too expensive, can you consider buying a normal type? Are you not very satisfied with the price of the normal type we agreed on before? If it is made up for the quantity, the ordinary type of the three or four units can barely exert this power against the ship-type exoskeleton. Of course, the price converted in this way is really a bit..."

Speaking of this, Du Xiaochuan laughed dryly.

The unit price of this heavy firepower exoskeleton is only equivalent to more than two ordinary types. If it is really only three or four units that can compare with this heavy firepower exoskeleton, from the perspective of price, it is obviously even more unprofitable.

This is what Du Xiaochuan wants to say, it is obvious.

When Avril heard what Du Xiaochuan said, he was already a little bit gritted, but at least he still had a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to know what she really thought.

"Tsk, I'm still looking forward to the scene where this little queen and I turn the table up. It seems that Her Majesty's cultivation has improved a lot in the past six months." It seems that Du Xiaochuan thought boredly.

Anyway, Du Xiaochuan is now at the negotiating table, and he is posing as if you like to buy or not, and if you have the ability, you can bite me. This makes His Majesty the Little Queen hate Du Xiaochuan so much that she has no way to deal with Du Xiaochuan.

The little queen and the military advisers in the delegation also wanted to buy it because they were attracted by the powerful power of the ship-level exoskeleton.

The military advisers in the negotiation team have been salivating about this ship-level exoskeleton since they saw this practical exercise of the exoskeleton during the actual exercise.

Cyrus had to buy it anyway, and this was the unanimous decision of the military advisers in the delegation.

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, the little queen continued, "Elder Du, can't you really reduce the price again?"

Du Xiaochuan thought for a while, then said, "Forget it, who made us old acquaintances? Since that's the case, I'll put water once. If you buy enough, I'll sell it to you at 80% of the friendship price."

"That's really thankful to Elder Du." The little queen said to Du Xiaochuan if she was sincere or pretended to do so.

After the price of this type of exoskeleton was agreed upon, Du Xiaochuan and Cyrus' delegations negotiated the price of the next type of exoskeleton.

The price of each model of exoskeleton must be finalized after a fierce quarrel.

As time went on at the negotiating table and constant quarrels, the day passed quickly.

"Okay, everyone, let's go to this negotiation here first. It's not too late for us to talk about the rest in the future. Anyway, this is not a matter of rush. All day long, you didn't even have time to eat. Our Alchemy City has prepared dinner for you, and I hope you can be satisfied with it." Du Xiaochuan said to everyone in Cyrus.

It was not until Du Xiaochuan said this that the negotiators of Cyrus realized that they had not eaten anything at all this day.

During the fierce quarrel and negotiations, the representatives didn't think there was anything. Now that the negotiations were over and relaxed, they felt weak and hungry all over.

Separating from the Cyrus people, Du Xiaochuan walked slowly towards his residence.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Vader shortly after I came out of the conference room.

"How is the negotiation going?" Vader asked Du Xiaochuan.

"It's going well." Du Xiaochuan said.

And, he handed the transaction price list to Vader casually.

Looking at the half-finished transaction price list seriously, Vader couldn't see any expression on his face; "I thought you were going to let the water go this time."

After all, he is in the position of an elder. Even if Vader doesn't care about management, he still understands some basic situations.

This is naturally also included the Elders' policy on the output products they produce and the cost of the first generation of exoskeletons.

Although Du Xiaochuan’s transaction price list with Cyrus is not the highest profit level, it is already considered to be fair in large-scale transaction prices.

After reading this quotation list, Vader said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't let the little queen go. I also thought, if you really let the water go, I will impeach you to the Presbyterian."

Looking at Vida's pity, Du Xiaochuan felt speechless.

"Hey, we have been partners for many years. What kind of revenge do you have to impeach me to the Presbyterian Church?" Du Xiaochuan said, feeling that he was really defeated.

When they walked to the villa area of ​​the two, they were about to break up, Vader thought of something and turned to Du Xiaochuan and said, "Don't be too harsh on the little queen during negotiations, so let her order. With that kind of girl, it's not easy to be in that position."

Looking at Vader's back, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but shake his head: "I really don't understand what you are thinking. Do you want me to let go of water or not, you have made it clear."

Cyrus's purchase plan has not been completed yet, so Du Xiaochuan naturally cannot be idle, so he can only stay with him to the end.

Because of the suggestion of Vader last night, Du Xiaochuan did not limit the negotiation price too much in today's negotiations.

After putting it in a little bit, as long as the price is similar, even if Cyrus is cheaper, Du Xiaochuan can pass it as much as possible.

After all, looking at the little queen's frowning look because of her own criticism, it still makes people not like it very much.

Compared with yesterday, Du Xiaochuan's obvious relaxed attitude naturally made Cyrus quite happy.

In this way, the negotiation process is much smoother than expected.

After finalizing the prices and quantities of all exoskeleton models, it only took half a day.

During this negotiation, what Du Xiaochuan found most interesting was the representative of the Cyrus financial department.

Whenever the military department clarifies an order happily, the representative of the financial department will be red and white for a hundred years, but from the general trend to the upward trend, his face should be changing in the direction of blueness.

It is no wonder that even if Du Xiaochuan has already released the price of these exoskeletons, the price is extremely expensive.

This time Cyrus' procurement of exoskeleton system is probably going to cause heavy bleeds in the entire country's finances.

Seeing the financial funds disappear like flowing water, how could the representatives of the department who manage this budget really be happy?

However, no matter how blushed the financial official's face turned, it could not stop the outflow of financial funds.

The procurement of this exoskeleton system is the main task of them. As for finance and other things, it can be considered later.

All purchase reservations have been completed, and everyone has relaxed slightly.

Then, Her Majesty the Little Queen began to reiterate the old sayings and asked Du Xiaochuan another question.

"Elder Du, the Alchemy City cannot provide us with the production line of the exoskeleton system to us, which is understandable. But can't even give us a detailed design drawing?" the little queen asked Du Xiaochuan like this.

Since the representatives of Cyrus came to the Alchemy City for negotiation, Her Majesty the Little Queen has asked Du Xiaochuan many times. But every time I get a negative answer from Du Xiaochuan.

This time, Du Xiaochuan also shook his head.

"Your Majesty the Queen doesn't need to talk about this matter. You should know that there is no such thing in the procurement agreement we have formulated. We will never hand over the production technology of exoskeletons to others. I think everyone knows the reason for this."

After taking a look at the little queen who was still unwilling to give up, Du Xiaochuan continued: "Besides, even if you really get the drawings for production, your country cannot produce them at all. Only our Alchemy City can make this kind of tea-making process."

Du Xiaochuan did not shy away from this.

"But if the exoskeleton system is damaged..." Her Majesty the little queen was thinking about saying something, but in the end she was stopped by Du Xiaochuan.

"Oh, Her Majesty the Queen can't say that. Haven't there been a solution for this? When we were producing these outsourced systems, our Alchemy City had already considered this kind of problem. Therefore, the exoskeleton system is completely composed of replaceable components. If that part is damaged, just use the corresponding spare parts and replace them directly? Didn't you buy more than two corresponding spare parts for each of your exoskeletons? In this way, it's already enough to be used. We are still confident about the quality of the exoskeleton system we produce, and even in the most intense battles, it is not easy to damage."

Du Xiaochuan smiled and then said, "Your Majesty the Queen, please rest assured of this."

"But if the secret core is damaged, we will not be able to repair it at all." The little queen said unwillingly when she heard Du Xiaochuan say this.

Du Xiaochuan just smiled and said: "About this point, if the secret core is really physically damaged, even the technology of our Alchemy City will not be restored. If it is just a network problem, it can be restored through special channels in the photon network. Therefore, there is no problem like what Her Majesty the Queen said."

Seeing that Du Xiaochuan said everything he said was blocked, the little queen frowned slightly.

Du Xiaochuan was naturally very clear about Cyrus's plans.

Only the exoskeleton can be produced by the Alchemy City. If Cyrus wants such a thing, he needs to buy it from the Alchemy City. This feeling of completely controlling the lifeline in the hands of others is definitely not a comfortable thing.

Cyrus desperately hoped to obtain the ability to produce this exoskeleton system himself.

Obviously, it is impossible for Alchemy City to let this happen.

The little queen also realized that the questions she raised were already involved in the principles of the Alchemy City.

No matter what I say, it is impossible to pass such a thing. After realizing this, the little queen just sighed in disappointment and said nothing.

Although this procurement is the highlight of this time, there is also a state visit agenda.

After the procurement was completed, the three-day state visit passed in such a hurry again.

Soon, the Cyrus delegation left the Alchemy City and returned to the capital with a large number of military weapons purchased this time.

With this group of individual exoskeletons, Cyrus naturally needs to make this thing play its due role as soon as possible.

It is very urgent to integrate this thing into the large army and to reorganize the army accordingly.

Many of the people in the delegation held important positions in Cyrus. They needed to work through it as soon as possible, carry out reorganization and various planning.

Shortly after Cyrus left the Alchemy City, the news that the Elders had already opened up the procurement authority for the exoskeleton system was finally announced.

As soon as this news appeared on the surface, it immediately caused changes in the world, and all parties acted for this news.

Procurement groups from various countries rushed towards the Alchemy City to purchase exoskeleton systems.

Except for Du Xiaochuan, there are naturally no one else in charge of this matter.

When Du Xiaochuan learned that such a huge purchasing group was coming, he was so scared that he turned pale.

"It's really too troublesome to come with so many purchasing groups."

So Du Xiaochuan immediately shrank.

All such troubles were pushed to the maid's wife to deal with.

Anyway, Du Xiaochuan has done this kind of shirk responsibility many times. It can be said that he is familiar with it and has no psychological burden at all.
To be continued...
