With these words, the people of the Alice Group snickered, obviously expressing their disdain for the guy who said this: Dude, please use your brain before you speak, okay? Even if you're stupid, don't think others are as stupid as you.

Although it is not intentional, well, I must admit that although this approach of these guys in the Alice Group is a bit unauthentic, they do it on purpose, and it is a technique they often use to attack their negotiators in this way, and they don't know how many times they have hit their opponents in this way in previous negotiations.

No one is really stupid, everyone does this just to stimulate each other through various ways to achieve their own goals. Is the deputy prime minister of a country stupid? It's a big joke, you really think these guys are stuffed with straw and grains in their heads.

"No, what we want is not an investment method similar to venture capital" Alice shook her head, her plump lips pursed slightly, her eyes swept over everyone present, and her light tone and cold eyes revealed her determination on this issue to the people on the Ukrainian side, "I'm sorry to tell you that this kind of cooperation is not the cooperation style of our Alice Group." In all the investments we make in Alice Group, we have never taken a risky approach to partnerships. We at Alice Group are not venture capital companies with the first goal of making money, but for us at Alice Group, we hold shares in the companies we invest in for a long time. It is a better way to invest than venture capital. ”

"If we Alice Group invest in the Antonov Design Bureau just to make money, then there are more investment channels for us to choose from. Ladies and gentlemen, with all due respect, frankly speaking, in terms of the rate of return on investment, for the Alice Group, investing in the Antonov Design Bureau is the slowest way to return on investment, even if we keep our money in Chinese banks and eat interest, the rate of return is more than that of investing in the Antonov Design Bureau. ”

"The speed of return on funds of military enterprises, I think the basically, or most of you here, should understand very well, to a certain extent, military industrial enterprises, especially military industrial enterprises such as the Antonov Design Bureau, basically need the state to maintain their operation, and even if they are profitable, they cannot make money at the same rate as our enterprises. No country dares to allow such a company to collapse easily. Because this is related to the strategic security of a country, but expect such enterprises to be able to make money for themselves, then don't think about it. ”

"So for this, we stick to our point of view, only holding, not investing, and this, whether it is now or in the future, will not change." Alice, the girl, with a very strong attitude, rejected the cooperation proposed by the Ukrainian government neatly, and told these guys who still have illusions in their hearts with an unusually tough attitude not to do some unrealistic ideas.

Alice is deliberately belittling the actual value of the military-industrial enterprise, in fact, if there is a military-industrial enterprise in a large group, then the positive influence on the enterprise is huge, if you tell others that the Antonov Design Bureau is an enterprise under your name, even if the enterprise is now barely maintaining its operation, others will be in awe of you, and the strength of your company will be overestimated by several orders of magnitude: a company that can manufacture super-large aircraft, is it necessary to doubt the technical strength? Alice deliberately did not mention this, naturally in order to get as many advantages as possible for herself.

Although it is basically impossible to get the consent of the Alice group on this proposal, after Alice rejected her proposal so clearly and crisply, the Ukrainian government personnel present still felt a wave of frustration in their hearts.

From their point of view, it is better to be able to get more on the premise of giving as little as possible. Although the basic principle of these worlds is that you have to give as much as you want.

"As far as I know now, there are very few military industrial enterprises in the world that rely solely on military procurement and foreign trade to make money, and basically all the military industrial enterprises of any country are relying on the government's financial support." In a slow, but unquestionable tone, Gil said to Yulia, Tymoshenko, and at the same time to the Ukrainian government officials who were fighting the sword, "I think that in this regard, the Antonov Design Bureau will be no exception, if our Alice Group has invested a lot of money for the Antonov Design Bureau, but can only get a return from the profits of the Antonov Design Bureau, then it will not be of any practical significance to us Alice Group, I believe that anyone in this room knows that for a military manufacturing enterprise." This is not where their most important profit point comes from. ”

"If the Ukrainian side is very committed to the cooperation between our Alice Group and the Antonov Design Bureau, then it seems that we are not entangled in many issues." Jill made her own statement on behalf of the Alice Group, and she has the qualifications.

As Alice's most important assistant, Jill is qualified to sit here and say this to these guys, even though these guys are one. seems to have a prominent status, but in fact, among the people with whom Jill has dealed, the status is much more prominent than these guys here, and Jill naturally does not regard these guys as a very important dish.

Zhang Lan, who was sitting on the side and didn't say much, almost wanted to stand up and applaud Jill's words: The girl's words are so relieved, let these big noses cow here! You have to understand that even if we ask you to cooperate, we don't have much advantage of you.

Even if the cooperation fails, it's a big deal, master, I'll go back and do it myself! Anyway, it's you who are in a hurry now, and I am the only one who knows the future situation of the Antonov Design Bureau.

It seems that even in the year when I came back, your Antonov Design Bureau still looked half-dead, if there is any big difference from now, it is probably that the Antonov Design Bureau at that time was a little more confident than it is now, and it was not so depressed as it is now.

The people on the Ukrainian government side were silent for a while, they probably didn't expect that the people of the Alice Group would be so tough and faceless in this matter, and now these guys finally know why they are so arrogant, if they don't have money in their pockets, they can only be ridiculed like they are now, on the contrary, if they have money in their pockets, they can be sarcastic like the people of the Alice Group now. ,

At this moment, these people in the Ukrainian government were a little envious of these high-level members of the Alice Group. To paraphrase a fashionable phrase, that is: they are all high-level, why is the gap between the high-level and the high-level so big?

Yulia Tymoshenko and Viktor Yushchenko obviously didn't expect the Alice Group to be so insistent and tough in this regard, and they didn't even say anything relatively mild, so they directly put out their dissenting opinions in such a big way, without saving face for themselves at all.

However, while their faces were embarrassed, these guys did not have a hint of joy in their hearts: they understood that when dealing with such people, it was actually much easier to deal with those who were smiling on the surface, but who just didn't say anything practical, and as long as the conditions he put forward could be met, generally speaking, cooperation could be achieved. In other words, in other words, the attitude of Alice Group is actually not a manifestation of sincerity in cooperation.

However, after Gil's words, people in Ukraine have begun to believe that the Alice Group really wants to cooperate with them, and if the Alice Group does not want to cooperate with them, they will not be able to say such things. Now that Alice Group has made its own statement, it is natural that it will have to make a corresponding statement.

As for the previous confrontation between Yulia Tymoshenko and Gil, it was selectively forgotten by both sides, and no one mentioned it.

In the matter of cooperation with Alice Group, the Ukrainian government has shown unprecedented speed!

In the evening of the same day, the Ukrainian government officially matched the Alice Group and the Antonov Design Bureau, which means that the cooperation between the Alice Group and the Antonov Design Bureau has been officially approved by the Ukrainian government.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Alice Group had submitted to the Ukrainian government the prerequisites for cooperation between itself and the Antonov Design Bureau, and the conditions for cooperation between the Alice Group and the Antonov Design Bureau were: the Alice Group must have a full controlling stake in the Antonov Design Bureau, and the holding ratio must reach at least the quote; holding of the Zaporozh Progressive Mechanical Design Bureau of Ukraine, which is responsible for the design and manufacture of engines; At least to be one of the three major shareholders of Cice Engine Company; Establish a good cooperative relationship with the shipbuilding industry of Ukraine, and purchase the technical patent of the "Dawn" mechanical design, research and production complex) ugly concave large gas turbine.

Obviously, the Alice Group is also quite well prepared for this matter, just waiting for the Ukrainian government to make the first move, in the confrontation between the two sides, this confrontation is won by the Alice Group, and the Ukrainian government, just seeing these conditions offered by the Alice Group, makes them a little dizzy: What are the people doing? How is it that the cooperation between their Alice Group and the Antonov Design Bureau also involves the shipbuilding industry in Ukraine?
