256 Liu Jiujiu, who wants benefits but shameless
"General Thompson, I probably don't have any possibility. If our intelligence is not wrong, the Chinese side has given the full power to the young man to handle. Some of the technologies we need are created after he participated..." A big boss came to the Ministry of National Defense, but he was hidden in their team, and the Chinese didn't know at all.
"If they don't have a power system, our country will find another huge market..." Thompson's words made everyone agree.
China has a huge market. If it can occupy this market, it will be of great benefit to the economic development of the United States.
Europe is indeed led by the United States, but they have their own perfect infrastructure and various products are produced in large quantities. It is not easy for ordinary American industrial products to be sold to other European countries. They are not the Soviet Union. The other fifteen other franchised republics of the Soviet Union are their resource suppliers and industrial products dumping places.
Especially heavy industrial products.
The NATO Group is different. European countries have little territory, but their industrial strength is very strong.
"There is no problem in selling industrial products. This country lacks anything. The problem is that we must now negotiate and cooperate to a certain extent before it can expand..." Huai'en said gritting his teeth.
He knew Liu Yijiu the most clearly.
The boy's father is a Chinese who returned from the United States, and many elders around him also came back from the United States. The boy's thinking pattern is close to that of the Americans, but it is not the same as their American model. And the Chinese people's thinking is not very well understood.
After all, these guys can sacrifice their lives for a little gun and ammunition on the battlefield, and give up some huge benefits for some purposes they don’t know. Just like after the end of World War II, Japan was not required to pay war reparations.
If the Chinese had started to make trouble back then, could Japan's current economy develop so quickly?
This is a historical issue.
Moreover, the Soviet Union was very supportive of China back then.
The cultural differences are too large, and they cannot speculate on the thinking of the Chinese.
People like Liu Yijiu can think about their needs from their perspective. When they were with Liu Yijiu, Liu Yijiu looked kind-hearted, just to help them solve some equipment problems. However, this kid just said something, and he didn't say anything in a critical position.
They even wanted to get this kid to the United States, but this was simply impossible.
"No matter what, after contact tomorrow, let's talk about their reaction. At the beginning, I reminded the Ministry of Defense that although we take the initiative in this negotiation, the difficulty is greater than our imagination. We just hope that the young man will be in this negotiation, but they directly regard this young man as the main person in charge of China..." Mister sighed.
They discussed for so long, but they didn't know how to start.
What the other party said was very obvious, and they negotiated step by step according to the list above. Because each item has many small projects.
The Americans did not set any bottom line. At first they did not expect the Chinese to come up with a list beyond their imagination.
This has seriously disrupted their plans. It is too late to set a bottom line now, and the discussions overnight have no effect. I can only take one step at a time, and the Chinese people are asking for a lot of prices. They can only pay back the money locally.
The list given to them by Liu Yijiu made them realize that the initiative they originally thought was not in their hands, but in the hands of the Chinese themselves.
Early the next morning, Liu Yijiu and his group arrived in the negotiation conference room specially prepared for them by the Capital Hotel. More than ten people from both sides of the negotiation table were sitting face to face. There were no reporters or other irrelevant personnel. The only difference was that both sides had their own translators.
"Sir, did you sleep well last night? I'm really sorry, our country is used to sleeping in hard beds. It's not like you, the beds are soft Simmons and soft goose-quilted quilts..." Liu Yijiu saw that the Americans opposite were not in good spirits and couldn't help but laugh.
The worse these guys are in mental state, the greater the advantage of negotiations.
It is best to make these guys unable to sleep every day. Then, in order to have a good night's sleep, they might directly agree to their conditions, and then sign a contract friendly and reach a cooperation intention. What a great thing.
"Liu, you also know that our time difference is not reversed. Moreover, your beds are too hard and affect sleep..." Mister said with a wry smile. He didn't know at all that the bed in the Capital Hotel can be said to be the softest bed in the entire Republic.
However, before this, Liu Yijiu specifically instructed the hotel people not to let American capitalists enjoy too much in China.
"Or why don't we have a rest first and let's take you to have a tour? Although our country's five thousand years of civilization has not left us with much advanced technology, it has left us with a lot of cultural heritage..." Liu Yijiu's words were very aggressive.
This is teasing Americans.
However, the Americans were not fooled at all, but flattered them according to his words: "Liu, China is indeed an amazing country. We yearn for many cultural relics. However, I think we should talk about the serious matter first..." Huai'en said with a smile at Liu Yijiu with his eyes squeezed and said.
He was hinting, boy, don't be too proud.
If we talk about your pain, the negotiations may not continue.
"The first item is that the Soviet T64 tanks, plus the new gun steel we have developed, will be replaced with ten M1 tanks in your country and the full set of technology of its 1500-horsepower gas turbine engine. Do you have no objection to this? These tanks are all new tanks that the Soviet Union has been improving. They were only equipped to the Far East Military Region last year. What are some technologies, combat power, and defense power in them? The explanation documents are all included. You may know more clearly than we do..." Liu Yijiu smiled and soon moved to the state of talking about the serious business.
This makes Americans unable to adapt.
People in China can't adapt to his jumping ability.
"no!no..." Liu Yijiu was interrupted before he finished speaking, especially Huai'en, who was eager to get the Soviet t64 tank. They are now working on t80 in their country, but their combat performance is estimated to be much stronger than t64.
The prospect of upgrading this tank is very great, but the current economic situation in the Soviet Union has forced them to give up the further transformation and upgrading of such projects with very huge advantages.
"The cost of a T64 in the Soviet Union is only about 3 million US dollars, and the cost of our m1 is six million US dollars..." Thomson said to the Chinese with contempt.
"This gentleman is right. The production cost of a Soviet T64 is only about three million US dollars, and it may be less than three million now. This thing has suppressed the Western camp for more than ten years. Haven't you never got it? Or, if you give 60 million US dollars to buy from the Soviets, can you buy it? But if the Soviets pay 60 million, you can buy the detailed parameters of your country's m1 from us. If you conduct targeted research, then move the 152 or 155 caliber heavy artillery to their tanks, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... " Liu Yijiu curled his lips and said with a mocking look on his face.
Do you think you are stupid?
If Americans can get t64, will they come to China?
"Impossible, how could the Soviets use this gun on a tank? Just recoil, can their tanks be disintegrated with just a few guns..." An American official screamed in horror.
At the beginning, they first made large caliber guns on the tank, but in the end, because the Iranian officer defected, the Soviets turned the 115 smoothbore gun on their t64 into 125 mm, and at the same time, making the operation very simple...
"Liu, we are talking about cooperation between us..." Seeing Thompson getting angry, Mister immediately smiled bitterly and said to Liu Yijiu, "You say this without any sincerity. Can we understand this way? While you are negotiating with us, you are also preparing to negotiate with the Soviets?"
Hearing this, people in China began to become nervous.
Don't face collapse just now.
Liu Yijiu said indifferently: "You understand it correctly. If you cannot reach an agreement with you and you cannot make these things in our hands, it will be a waste for us to leave them alone. If these technologies become backward for more than ten or twenty years, they will no longer be valuable..."
Liu Yijiu didn't play according to common sense.
Everyone's faces were shocked.
Isn't this kid afraid that the Americans will make an angry decision and stop talking to them?
"Xiao Liu..." Zheng Hao wanted to stop him.
However, Liu Yijiu stared at him coldly and did not say it out in the end.
Mister smiled bitterly at Thompson, shrugged slightly, and told him that this kid is so difficult. He is not another Chinese official and regards his own face and national image as a very important thing.
This kid clearly understands that when the country is not strong, no way can improve the country's image.
Moreover, the kid does not seem to represent his country now, and the two sides are not negotiations between countries.
This clearly means that as long as they can achieve their goals, this kid will not be shameless. (To be continued)
