Chapter 1321 Alternative Forms of Advertising (Three Changes, Two Changes)
"Really?" Although Myasnikovich's status is equivalent to that of the Prime Minister of the Republic, he still can't help but be overjoyed when he hears Prime Minister Lebanon say this!
For example, the 7912 integral heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle and the 74135 towed heavy military wheeled transport vehicle are such behemoths, each of which is worth a lot of money, and can even be regarded as a high-end military strategic material with considerable combat effectiveness, even in the former Soviet Union, the annual purchase volume will not be very much, the republic is a big country after all, they decided to purchase in small quantities for trial, then at least it should be ...... Well, 10 cars, right?
Anyway, Myasnikovich knew that this was a military secret of the republic, and finally couldn't bear to ask, "How many are you going to buy?" "Such a question.
"Well, before I came, I discussed this issue with the leading comrades of the Ministry of Defense and the Second Artillery Corps, and decided to purchase 20 vehicles first." Facing Miasnikovich's shocked gaze, Prime Minister Li nodded with a smile.
Nominally, the Ministry of National Defense is under the dual jurisdiction of the Military Commission and the Cabinet, and now that Prime Minister Lebanon has recommended a little military equipment to the Ministry of National Defense and is willing to pay for it, no one can say anything...... The most important thing is that the republic at this stage is really short of friends.
"Great!" Hearing the confirmation of Prime Minister Lebanon, both Lukashenko and Myasnikovich are all happy: although the order for 20 cars is not much, it is definitely worth a lot, and the most important thing is that the engine, gearbox, transmission system and suspension system required by these 20 cars must all be produced in Belarus and sent over, and Belarus will share part of the profits, which is equivalent to a car making money twice and making a lot of money!
"As far as I know, in the middle of next year, there will be a tender for tactical car owners in France, and our company intends to participate in this tender with these two models." Lin Hongfei added a sentence at the right time.
"What?!"
Lin Hongfei said this. Not only Prime Minister Li was shocked, but even Myasnikovich and Lukashenko were shocked: he, Lin Hongfei, is going to participate in the bidding for France's tactical car family next year? Could it be that he is so confident in these two cars?
After the shock, Lukashenko and Myasnikovich were in ecstasy, and they didn't care about being in the car, and they asked Lin Hongfei with an eager face, "Lin, is it true?" Are you really planning to participate in this bidding event? ”
The French Ministry of Defense has released a document inviting major military vehicle manufacturers in the world to participate in the bidding activities for tactical vehicles in the middle of next year, and specifically stated that companies that are not on the invitation list are confident in their products. You can also sign up for this bidding activity independently...... Well, the entry fee is $1 million.
To put it bluntly, the $1 million is an opportunity for companies that are unlikely to qualify, but want to take advantage of this opportunity to show their faces, which is equivalent to the "advertising fee" handed over to the French Ministry of Defense, and those companies that have failed in bidding. When we go back, we can also show off and sell to other countries: Look, our cars are of good quality. It has also been shortlisted for the French Ministry of Defense's tactical vehicle family tender. It's just that the opponent is too strong, we have a little bit of a deficiency in XX, but you don't have to worry, we have corrected this shortcoming, you can use it with confidence.
As a "new" democracy that has just emerged from the dark rule of the dictatorial Soviet "empire", Belarus naturally received an invitation. However, Belarus, which is busy with the problems of people's livelihood and the struggle for rights, does not bother to pay attention to this, and even the two largest manufacturers of heavy military vehicles in Belarus, the Minsk Automobile Heavy Industry Complex and the Minsk Tractor Heavy Industry Complex, do not pay attention to this, but on cooperation with the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Company.
But it's one thing to have no time to take care of it, and it's another thing to know the way.
Prime Minister Li also looked at Lin Hongfei with a surprised expression. "Kobayashi, really? Does your company really want to participate in the French tactical car family tender? ”
"Yes," Lin Hongfei nodded, looking full of confidence, "I have studied the tender documents of the French Ministry of Defense, and in terms of performance indicators, the 7912 and 74135 are both able to meet the requirements of France...... However, the strategic value of the 7912 is too high, and I plan to only take the 74135 model to participate. ”
The last sentence was changed by Lin Hongfei when he saw that the Prime Minister's face was becoming more and more unhappy.
Think about it, the 7912 integral heavy military wheeled off-road transport vehicle is a vehicle specially developed by the former Soviet Union for the "Topol-M" land-based intercontinental ballistic missile, which belongs to the strategic military materials strictly controlled by the former Soviet Union and today's Russia, and is not exported to the outside world at all, if it were not for Lin Hongfei to take the line of Belarus, the Republic would not have been able to obtain this kind of vehicle for land-based mobile ICBMs, whether it is for national security considerations or the need for secrecy, It is impossible for international love to allow Lin Hongfei to openly sell the 7912 car...... The 74135 car is just that, no matter how good the performance is, to put it bluntly, it is just a heavy-duty wheeled trailer, which is completely different from the status of the 7912 car in the national defense system.
Sure enough, hearing Lin Hongfei say this, Prime Minister Li's slightly frowning brows immediately stretched, and he even nodded, "Well, if you can take this opportunity to gain international popularity, it is also a good opportunity......
He glanced at Lin Hongfei and actually laughed, "I know that your company is not short of this advertising fee, but Xiaolin, are you really sure that you can impress the French Ministry of Defense?" And the French government doesn't seem to be very friendly to us......"
Lin Hongfei suddenly felt a pang in his heart: he had ignored this problem.
In the past two years, France has relied on the support of the United States to do a very excessive job in its relations with China, and France's latest Mirage 2000 fighter jets, Lafayette-class stealth frigates, and other French treasures have been sold to Wanwan in a steady stream, which has greatly boosted the arrogance of some people on Wanwan Island, which is tantamount to a slap in the face of the Republic...... Oh no, it's been a couple of slaps, and it's a shame.
As far as Lin Hongfei knows, because of this, Qi Jinjin once fell into the cup again...... This question must be explained clearly, otherwise there will be endless trouble: a family that is so unfriendly to China, and you Lin Hongfei still have to sell them weapons and equipment with a shy face, what do you kid want to do?
"I think that participating in this French tactical car bidding is an opportunity......" Lin Hongfei, who realized that he had almost made a big mistake, broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and carefully said word by word, "Before this, the French government abandoned the traditional friendship between the two countries, and a large part of the reason was that they looked down on us, to be precise, they thought that we could not do anything to them, if they could show their muscles at the right time, let them realize that their previous intelligence was wrong, and then doubts about the authenticity of the original information......"
The reason why Lin Hongfei dared to be so confident was because Lin Hongfei knew that France had indeed purchased a batch of 74135 towed heavy military wheeled transport vehicles as a towed transport platform for France's latest Leclerc main battle tank and tracked armored personnel carrier, but the specific year is not very clear, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is such a thing in Zhilu Dao, there is such a thing in Zhilu Dao, which means that there is hope for success, and even Lin Hongfei did not expect to succeed this time...... He went this time to advertise his products through this platform, after all, relying on this domestic order alone can not support these two production lines, and it is inevitable to go outward.
The only pity that Lin Hongfei felt was that the bidding activity of the US Department of Defense's medium-sized tactical vehicle family ended in 91, otherwise he could have joined in the fun...... 91 years of U.S. military tactical vehicle bidding, the final winning bid is not the American company, but Steyr at the foot of the Alps, 4X4 M1078 and 6X6 M1083 won the bid, so that the three major American car companies face super dull, but also created the history of the use of foreign car brands for U.S. military tactical vehicles, of course he does not think that he can win the bid by participating, but this is a larger display stage than the French tactical vehicle bidding.
"In this way, you can ......" Prime Minister Li pondered for a while, and finally nodded, which was regarded as agreeing with Lin Hongfei's statement, and turned his head to the secretary next to him and ordered, "Go back and say hello to the comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and try to make Comrade Xiaolin as convenient as possible in this matter." In addition, pay attention to this matter, if the test results from the Ministry of Defense are really satisfactory, I can help you recommend it to our old friend Pakistan. ”
The relationship between the Republic and Pakistan naturally goes without saying, otherwise there would not be such a term as "Pakistan Railway", basically the good things that the Republic has, our Pakistani Iron brothers will soon have it.
"Yes." The secretary hurriedly responded, and the fact that the chief could be so solemnly ordered was enough to prove that the chief attached great importance to this matter.
Lukashenko and Myasnikovich are also very happy, although it is not the "original" Belarusian enterprises that participated in the bidding activities of the French tactical car family, but now Belarus cannot come up with such an "advertising fee", and the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is taking the lead, which is actually a good thing for the Belarusian heavy-duty truck industry.
…………………………………………
When the convoy was stable in the courtyard of the newly built automobile production plant of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Lin Hongfei jumped down from the car first, "Prime Minister, Mr. Lukashenko, Mr. Myasnikovich, please get off." (To be continued......)
