In the 1980s, to be precise, it should be the end of August 1984. Even according to the official exchange rate of the Chinese RMB, one million US dollars was equivalent to more than two and three million yuan.

If calculated based on black market prices, then... that is also an "astronomical number".

For Chinese people in the mid-1980s, even if they were a prefecture-level mayor, the million-level wealth owned by individuals had exceeded their ability to understand.

For Chinese people who have not yet learned to consume, they will even be confused about "How can they spend so much money?"

"My God, are these foreigners suckers?" Mayor Wang couldn't help but swallowed deeply. When he was squatting in the cowshed in his early years, he didn't expect the world to become so crazy.

Yes, in Mayor Wang's opinion, the rebels who smashed the public security, procuratorial and judicial system probably did not give him more unreality.

However, a mere million US dollars is not enough for Hu Wenhai. Not to mention being reborn once, even before he was reborn, he would not feel any difficulty in taking out the money with his ability.

What's more, the future market profitability of red dot scopes is no different from a free gift.

To change a company, you may also need to consider issues such as market development and production investment. But Elkan Company is different. It is an optoelectronic instrument manufacturing company and has a certain accumulation in the field of military optics. Market relations, production equipment, personnel, and information are all ready-made. This technology can be immediately promoted to market profits.

However, Hu Wenhai did not mean to raise the price. Since he negotiated with Major Latif to quote this price, he would not feel at a loss just because the target was Elkan.

To be honest, he should be glad that Latif found a professional company like Elkan. The reason is very simple, because Elkan knows the value of this technology.

If it were an outsider who had no followers in this industry, this million would have to be a few bumps. A difficult thing like the technology transformation market may not be much easier than inventing technology.

Companies outside the industry face much greater risks in doing this project, and they won’t be so happy to pay. For Hu Wenhai, although the market for red dot sights is not small, the water is too deep, and it is not a project suitable for his own operation. After all, this thing is used on light weapons. The majority of the market is military orders for the armed forces of various countries. Technology alone may not open up the market.

As a Chinese in the 1980s, Hu Wenhai was involved in the international arms market as an excessively private person.

Haven't you seen Mou Zhe, who threatened to explode the Himalayas and later exchanged a shirt for a plane, is still squatting in prison now?

With this really "nob" as a role model, Hu Wenhai doesn't want to experiment with how much resistance to reform in Xiongcheng is now.

However, these thoughts had already been planned in Hu Wenhai's mind, so when Clark expressed his hope to buy out the technology in his hands, Hu Wenhai immediately nodded: "No problem, but I have already told Major Latif before that Pakistan's red dot scope patent must be authorized to him, and in addition, 10% of our transaction volume is his commission."

"No, this is too much for me. My job is not worth $100,000..." Latif was stunned and subconsciously declined.

Pakistan is not a wealthy country, its economic situation is quite average, and agriculture is its main economic pillar. For the minibus army, it even needs to constantly "work" for other countries.

For example, in the United Nations peacekeeping force, the minibus army is quite famous. The big dog family, Oil Ba, also has a large number of minibus mercenaries, which is famous for fighting.

Although Latif himself is a major, his military salary is only more than 2,000 US dollars a month. One hundred thousand dollars is already a considerable amount.

But for Clark, this was just a drop in the bucket.

"Haha, of course, Major Latif doesn't have to worry." Clark, who had agreed so happily to Hu Wenhai, quickly decided to finalize the matter, and where could he allow Latif to come out and have a problem: "This 100,000 yuan is used as the introduction fee for Mr. Latif, and our Elkan Company can pay now."

As he spoke, Clark actually took out a check book from his arms and started writing it out on the spot.

Seeing Clark's actions and listening to the delayed translation made by the secretary stumbled, Mayor Wang was not calm now. He quickly patted Hu Wenhai on the shoulder, frowned and whispered: "Xiao Hu, go out with me."

Hu Wenhai raised his eyebrows, turned to explain to Latif and Clark, and then followed Mayor Wang out of the conference room.

"Comrade Xiao Hu..."

Mayor Wang opened his mouth, and he really didn't know what to say. Hu Wenhai's current one-time buying and selling method is obviously not in line with his vision.

Originally, he thought Hu Wenhai was just a child, so he brought him to the two sides to deal with each other calmly, and then he "puts on the power of the fox and tigers" to coax the two foreigners to invest.

But who would have thought that Clark had already started signing checks less than ten minutes after meeting between the two sides.

A million US dollars is a lot, but after the technology is bought out, it has nothing to do with Xiucheng. From Mayor Wang’s perspective, of course, investing in the establishment of a factory is more in line with Xiucheng and his interests.

But for Hu Wenhai, this may not be as attractive as millions of dollars. After all, in the 1980s, joint ventures could be run but individual enterprises could not be run.

Well, it was so strange in the early and mid-1980s. Foreign companies can have joint ventures with state-owned enterprises, but individuals can't imagine being on par with state-owned enterprises. In this era, even if private enterprises are illegitimate children, they are still rare!

In this way, Hu Wenhai gave up millions of dollars in benefits, but Mayor Wang had almost no means of achieving equivalent compensation. How could he not be in a hurry?

"Well, ahem, Comrade Hu, you kid is also true. Before you could say a few words, why did the two foreigners fool you so easily? Look at that Clark, you don't even blink a million dollars. You should ask for a little more, and he will definitely not object!"

Speaking of this, Mayor Wang actually patted his chest like a young man: "Let's go back, let's see me next. If I'm here to negotiate with the opponent for you, they will definitely give them more benefits!"

In Mayor Wang's opinion, his identity and seniority are here, so Hu Wenhai still has nods. After he goes in, he overturns the agreement to Clark, and then the lion opens his mouth and asks for a number that the other party cannot agree to.

In this way, only when Clark and Hu Wenhai have a stalemate, he will jump out and sell his joint factory investment plan to succeed.

As for Hu Wenhai's interests - well, a child's family suddenly gained such a huge amount of wealth, may not be a good thing for his growth. I am also considering his future life.

At worst, at worst, he would just turn around and pull his father Hu Jiefang out of the quagmire of Factory 501 and arrange a good position on the government. With the accumulation of the Hu family in the Xiucheng Industrial Port, it would be not aggrieved that Hu Jiefang would be the deputy director of the Xiucheng Industrial Bureau?

"Mayor Wang, the price of this million dollar is something that Major Latif and I have agreed before..."

"Hey, you don't have to worry about it, just leave this to me!"

Mayor Wang simply waved his hand and blocked Hu Wenhai's words in his stomach, then turned around and rushed back to the conference room with great enthusiasm.

Immediately afterwards, Mayor Wang soon directed his secretary and asked him to translate his words: "I am now the agent of Comrade Xiao Hu. One million dollars is too little. He is a child. Do you foreigners think you can bully him? Ang? Let me tell you that as long as I, Wang Yichun, are there, the interests of the Chinese people cannot be violated! One million is absolutely not possible, this price is too little!"

Mayor Wang slapped the table, stammering his neck with great confidence, and glared at Clark and Latif.

Clark put away the check book in his hand and looked at the man who suddenly became angry in surprise. He looked at Hu Wenhai and asked, "Mr. Hu, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Wang is the mayor of Xiucheng City, and I must respect him." Hu Wenhai shrugged and said helplessly.

Clark couldn't help but realize it and nodded, and naturally thought of various inside stories. Anyway, in the eyes of Westerners, China is a bureaucrat at this time, so isn't it normal for me to get a full bag and take over?

"Okay, then Mayor Wang thinks how much money will be more appropriate?"

Compared with the value that the red dot scope may bring, whether it is one million or ten million, it is actually no different for Elkan. As long as you can get this technology and spend more money, the headquarters will not have any objection. It will only recognize Clark's decision-making and his proficiency in "Chinese affairs".

"What, you'll get three million dollars?"

Mayor Wang was a little confident and raised the offer triple, then closed his eyes and waited for Clark to be blackmailed.

However, he did not hear any English words with a fierce tone, but after a whisper, a quiet voice muttered in a murmur.
