395 Iraqis demanding delivery deadlines
"What does this mean?" Xie Kai was a little puzzled.
Tian Li was clear, but it was also a little incredible, how could the base make such a decision.
Literally. ”
"I know the literal meaning, didn't you make it clear? Didn't you tell them that I need someone from the country to talk about this matter? If it doesn't work, I'll let the Iraqis go to the country!" Xie Kai can naturally understand the literal meaning, "What am I like this?"
"I don't know. Tian Li replied angrily.
Boom!
This was really not the result Xie Kai wanted, he didn't expect that the base would give such a reply so irresponsibly.
Even if Zheng Yucheng wants to fool around, does Wang Shuwei have no opinion?
That's a huge credit.
It is absolutely impossible for Wang Shuwei and the others to let Xie Kai and his son easily get such credit.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to launch Wang Hao to disgust Zheng Yucheng and others. No matter how talented Wang Hao is, he will be limited by his knowledge and vision, and it is impossible to be like him.
"What do you think? The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. You carried Wang Hao out by yourself, and now this matter is not a good thing. After coming back, Xie Kai told Xie Jianguo about the situation.
Xie Jianguo was also surprised that the Iraqis were so frantically trying to purchase more than $2 billion in equipment.
If you change 200 million US dollars of equipment in China, you will have to suffer for a long time.
But he couldn't figure out the answer given by the base.
With a list of more than two billion US dollars, such a huge arms sale, it is not a joke to let Xie Kai be responsible for one child?
"Dad, even if I'm in charge, you're in charge of this matter in the end. With such credit, entering the management committee, I think it is enough. And no one will have an opinion, it's just that the base is cheaper. "Xie Kai doesn't care.
The greater the credit for Daddy, the better.
Anyway, Wang Guilin's meaning had already been made clear before, and Xie Jianguo would be promoted to deputy chief engineer of the base and enter the management committee after the year.
Originally, Wang Shuwei and others would have stopped it.
"Can this work?" Xie Jianguo frowned and looked at Xie Kai.
Only when you have a lot of power in your hands can you realize some of your ideas.
The deputy chief engineer of the base and the chief engineer of Hongqi Machinery Factory can do a lot worse.
"It's okay, you're the leader. And what they need, you know, as for the price or something, I'll just talk to them, and you're staring at it. "Dad is not a pedantic person, he doesn't say that he has a low consciousness like before, Xie Kai thinks it's very good.
Xie Jianguo nodded and did not speak again.
Xie Kai immediately asked the person who was watching him at the door to go to Ibrahim and tell him that he could discuss the matter further.
"General, we have already contacted the country, and my father will represent our unit and have full authority to negotiate this business. Xie Kai introduced to Ibrahim with a serious face. "Excuse me, where is your negotiating team?"
"Your unit is in charge of you, can you call the shots?"
"Take full responsibility, General, can't you understand?" Xie Kai looked disdainful, "The two of us, it's enough. Of course, even if an agreement is reached, I think someone else will be responsible for the details, right?"
Now the negotiation is, at most, a memorandum or something.
There is not much point in talking about the details of cooperation here.
"How much can you be responsible for?"
"It depends on what you need. Xie Jianguo spoke calmly.
"As I said before, here's a list, and now we need to talk about prices and delivery times. Ibrahim pulled out a one-page list from the briefcase on his desk.
Xie Jianguo took it, exactly the same as what Xie Kai said.
"General, in this, except for the J-7 fighter, the others are all new products, according to our current production capacity, 500 359 tanks, it will take at least 30 months to complete production; 122 mm self-propelled howitzers plus supporting equipment, it will also take more than 8 months; ground red flag missiles, can only produce up to 20 in a month......" Xie Jianguo weighed for a while, and with some reservations proposed a delivery date according to production capacity.
The other party said that what needs to be negotiated is the delivery date and price.
Delivery time is relatively easy to achieve.
"Your production is so low?" Ibrahim asked, frowning. "All the equipment must be delivered within 15 months, which is our demand in terms of delivery time, if it cannot be completed, no matter how low the price is, it is difficult to reach a cooperation agreement. ”
Ibrahim apparently did not believe that the production capacity of the 404 base was so low.
Or that the production capacity of China's military-industrial system will not be so low.
He directly cut off the delivery time proposed by Xie Jianguo, just to avoid that 404 has the opportunity to give half of its production capacity to the Persians as it did before delivering avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.
The advantage that they had was also leveled.
"General, you are completely difficult for a strong man. Our quoted time is already the maximum capacity we can provide. You should know that the 359 tank is not a tank like the Type 69 tank, whether it is the gun steel required for the tank gun, the materials and manufacturing processes required for armor, etc., they are all extremely complicated......" Xie Kai looked at Ibrahim's expression, and he also knew what the other party was thinking.
This is to avoid another thing with avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles.
The renovation project of the ground red flag is much easier, the guidance part and the warhead are changed, and there is no problem in adding some propellant, and 500 of these things can be produced in half a year.
Tanks, really.
"You have the largest tank manufacturing base in Asia, and there is another tank manufacturing plant in your country...... Ibrahim said calmly, "After we get the equipment, we will need a long time of training to develop combat capabilities." ”
"As you know, we are in competition with Factory 617, and we were already very strained in the first project to provide your country with more advanced tanks......," Xie Kai explained.
Factory 617 is desperate to kill him now.
"The construction of the 541 base was not completed in the first place. Now most of the production capacity has been shifted to civilian products. General, the time I reported is already the production capacity that we can achieve by mobilizing all resources, 24 hours a day, and holidays. "Xie Jianguo is not stupid.
It is impossible to mobilize all the production capacity in the country.
The above will not agree either.
The production cycle he calculated only took into account the production capacity of Hongqi Machinery Factory and the 541 base.
Moreover, it is far more than the production capacity of the 541 base, and part of the production capacity needs to cooperate with the 617 factory.
If the production capacity of the 617 base is fully counted, it may be able to complete the delivery in 15 months.
"That's your business. If there is no way, it is difficult to achieve cooperation. Nowadays, the Persians are unwilling to end the war, and we need to put more pressure on them. "Ibrahim is not afraid of information being known by the other party.
Iraq is anxious.
This batch of tanks needs to be obtained as soon as possible.
"......" Xie Jianguo didn't know how to answer, and looked at Xie Kai.
Xie Kai sighed, he knew that when selling avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, he should not do such a thing for the sake of the Persians' money, at least there should be more deliveries in front.
It's hard to buy money and know it early.
"General, your request makes it very difficult for us. Xie Kai was also very helpless, "Although the strategic focus of our country is in the field of economic construction, it is impossible for our national defense construction to stop, is it impossible to stop national defense construction? ”
Xie Kai and Ibrahim communicated directly in Arabic.
Xie Jianguo couldn't understand what the two were saying.
With such a loose negotiation, he felt that it was impossible to get any results, so he simply proposed, "General, I suggest that the two sides be more prepared before they communicate." ”
Ibrahim was noncommittal, "Exactly, I'll let the rest of our team members know as soon as possible." ”
"Or wait until our people are all well and negotiate in Baghdad?" Xie Kai felt that it was not safe near Basra.
The Iranians will attack Basra again, and the possibility will not be great.
No one can guarantee that they won't bomb indiscriminately.
"It's best here. I think that after the cooperation negotiations are over, you will be more than happy to communicate with the Soviets. Ibrahim wasn't willing to wait, "We don't have much time to waste on that." It must be done as soon as possible, and the President is waiting for an answer. ”
Xie Jianguo pulled Xie Kai out of the office.
Came out and asked Shekai why the Persians were so harsh on delivery times.
"The Soviets had the most horrific production capacity in the world, and they probably offered delivery times much lower than that. Xie Kai can't say what happened to him when he cheated the Iraqis.
The Iraqis are negotiating with the Soviets.
"What are you hiding from me?" Xie Jianguo didn't know the inside story, he didn't have long to be the chief engineer of Hongqi Machinery Factory.
Civilian excavators have been being developed all the time.
"When I first sold missiles, I promised them that they would be given priority in delivery. Who knows, the Persians saw that the effect was good, and they also placed orders, and they were more urgent in terms of delivery dates...... The base needs money everywhere, and I suggested that it be delivered in two days......" Xie Kai could only tell the truth under his father's questioning.
After Xie Jianguo listened, he was dumbfounded.
I don't know how to say my son, I didn't expect it at all, the news circulating at the base is true, and the missiles are really delivered to two countries that are fighting in a single and double days.
The most important thing in being a man is to be honest and have his own principles!" Xie Jianguo finally said something like this, "Although it is for the base, it is ......."
"Dad, this time, we may also face a huge order from Persia. As long as it is won, the base will not be short of funds for more than ten years. Even if it is an annual interest, it is enough to support the project of the base in the early stage......"
"Do you still want to do this?" Xie Jianguo suspected that his son was not biological, why was his heart so black!
