Xie Kai never expected that the root cause of Iraq's cancellation of the Super-7a order was Ibrahim.

Looking at Ibrahim's expression in front of him, Xie Kai rolled his eyes, "Should I thank you? In this way, we lost $1.4 billion in orders, and even the cost of the production line invested before could not be recovered..."

"Thank you, didn't the Soviet Union prohibit the export of engines to you?" Ibrahim was stunned.

He thought Xie Kai should be grateful to him.

"Without the Soviet engine, do we have our own? Otherwise, we would dare to sell so much? Moreover, the delivery period will be a long time before it ends." It is a fact that China cannot deliver it.

But it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Ibrahim was not confused about this matter and said calmly, "You can deliver it, and Iraq can't afford it. The government's funds are currently very tight, and international oil prices have fallen sharply because of the end of the war. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait not only disagree to reduce production, but instead expand their production crazily; the Soviet Union and France and other countries are raising debts to our government... Reconstruction after the civil war requires huge funds, especially the reconstruction funds for oil fields..."

Obviously, he told Xie Kai that China could deliver 120 Super-7a aircraft in accordance with the contract and provide 120 engines for upgrades, and Iraq could not afford to pay.

Iraq owes tens of billions of dollars in foreign debt.

According to the current international oil price, it will be hundreds of billions of barrels, and all foreign debts will be repaid with oil, which will take several years.

This is still without any expense.

"The president and government officials both believe that the rise in international oil prices was because of the war. They never wanted to end the war and maintain the oil prices. We did not get any benefits... At the same time, we helped the entire Arab world resist the Persian religion and revolutionary output..." Ibrahim's words made Xie Kai understand that Iraq was about to take action.

The Super-7a fighter jets delivered by China are no longer enough for war.

The combat power of the Super-7a is not good, and it is not enough in terms of range or load capacity. To upgrade to the Super-7b of both sides, the combat performance is better. All scientific research institutions in Iraq have to prepare for war and have no time to upgrade the heavy equipment that takes too long.

What's more, China hasn't done the super-7b technology itself?

"Thank you, this is the most appropriate opportunity. Both sides have the opportunity to step down. The president did not know that the Soviet Union prohibited the provision of engines to your country. The financial pressure was too great." Ibrahim knew what Xie Kai was thinking.

After so many years of contact with Xie Kai, and the two sides have cooperated so many times, it is natural to know.

Xie Kai is just a person who wants money but lives.

When more than $2 billion was signed, Iraq used more than 36 million barrels of crude oil to pay, making China make nearly $1 billion. It was almost enough to pay the final payment of the entire contract.

Such things were not a problem at the beginning. The Persians blocked the Persian Gulf and Iraq's crude oil could hardly be shipped out.

But now Iraq is short of money.

Such a contract has made the Chinese earn nearly one billion yuan. Iraq has lost such a huge amount of money, which is strange for Iraqi officials to remain silent.

Calculate the accounts after autumn.

"Did you get dismissed because of the oil settlement price?" Xie Kai looked at Ibrahim and asked.

Ibrahim shook her head, "It's not just that. In the previous war, although no one dared to let anyone bear the consequences, the country had more than $40 billion in foreign exchange reserves before the war, and now it owed more than $70 billion in foreign debt..."

Ibrahim took the blame for the president.

Xie Kai understood.

This guy no longer works hard for his relatives. I can't make money in Iraq and it's hard to make international money.

In order to expand the arms trade, obtain more equipment orders and support the production of domestic production lines, 404 gave a sales commission commonly used in later generations. Of course, this is only known to people familiar with 404.

As long as the business volume is large enough, the more money you get.

As the head of Iraq's equipment procurement, Ibrahim knows many people and has enough resources. As long as he keeps helping 404 find orders, he can earn huge income.

Safety, insurance.

"I'll ask for a 5% commission on business after the order is negotiated. I will convince them to give at least 50% advance payment." Ibrahim did not say anything else, but made a request. "I only gave 3% last time, which is too little."

Xie Kai rolled his eyes again.

This guy has traded with 404 in recent years and has made a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

This time it actually costs 5%.

But it's not high.

"As long as they give a billion US dollars in advance, there is no problem, and it is still the same rule, and pay a part of it in the early stage." Xie Kai agreed.

Although things need to be discussed with Zheng Yucheng and the others.

"Ibrahim needs a 5% commission?" Zheng Yucheng did not care about what Xie Kai said about Iraq's cancellation of orders, nor did he pay attention to the Argentinian's 2 billion US dollars orders, but paid attention to Ibrahim's commission, "So much! Two billion US dollars, he did nothing, just get 100 million US dollars!"

"Be more generous, look forward to the long-term. It would be great if someone keeps helping us find orders." Xie Kai felt that this was not high.

Their profits are almost two or three times or even higher, and the profits will not be much lower than the cost of this commission.

When the base first formulated such a policy, such issues were fully considered.

After signing a business contract, if the down payment is not in place, the broker will not be paid to the commission. At the same time, the remaining funds will be required to pay the subsequent funds before the client will continue to pay.

Cooperation is only with intergovernmental cooperation, and never deals with any unit or individual.

Otherwise, Xie Kai would not have had a headache to increase equipment to the River Crab Mercenary Group.

"Argentines, if they give half of the advance payment, would they really cooperate? Two billion US dollars, one billion US dollars are enough to recover costs and even have some profits, but they still have to invest money in their country..." Zheng Yucheng was a little worried, "The base management team has started to operate, especially the planning department you proposed. These are people arranged by the superiors, and they need to get their approval..."

When talking about it later, Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai with a smile.

Xie Kai used this method to restrict them from randomly approving projects, and at the same time restricted Xie Kai's transactions that were somewhat inconsistent with the national conditions.

Even the commission paid to the middleman later is not an easy task.

"Chief, they have always received commissions for business for the middlemen, including Thailand's contract. The contract price was $1.2 billion for the aircraft carrier fleet, and Wang Hao received a commission of $36 million..."

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan and other bigwigs listened seriously to the report of a middle-aged man.

Before 404, there was no one who interfered in internal management at all, and even the superior management departments were difficult to know the specific internal affairs.

Now 404 takes the initiative to apply for superior assistance to provide management personnel.

"Cheng Rui, what suggestions do you have for such a solution?" Long Yaohua looked at the middle-aged man who was reporting and asked.

Long Yaohua is quite clear about how 404's business came about.

But problems are prone to occur in the middle, after all, it is very large every time.

"Chief, our entire team discussed it and felt that this plan could continue. 404 already has great autonomy, but some improvements are needed to avoid loopholes." Cheng Rui said seriously.

From the beginning, Cheng Rui and others were transferred from the National Planning Commission to a unit they had never heard of, and everyone was still very unhappy.

But after learning about the situation of 404 during this period, the shock in my heart is unimaginable.

Many of the theoretical things in the strategic research department of the Planning Commission have been used in 404, but the business of the entire base is too large and complicated, but many policies are very consistent with the development of the enterprise.

"In addition, we think that they should not hand over the resource plan for foreign equipment to private individuals, but should integrate relevant domestic units..." Cheng Rui reported that it was not his own opinion.

They have just learned about some projects of 404, and they have already felt a huge pressure.

Everyone in the management committee, including Zheng Yucheng, almost all had an uncooperative attitude.

They made suggestions, but nothing was useful.

Simply, from the entire 404 to now, there are almost no new projects. All project leaders have been sent to the strategic planning department by Zheng Yucheng and others to ask whether their projects will be delayed...

Cheng Rui had no choice but to ask his superiors for help.

It’s not that they are not capable enough, but that they don’t understand the situation of 404. It’s been more than two months since now, but I haven’t fully figured out how 404 worked before.

Management is shockingly chaotic.

"Have you talked to Xie Kai?" Li Mingshan asked.

Cheng Rui was stunned, "Chief, Xie Kai is not a base manager."

When I went there before, Li Mingshan explained that it would be best to communicate with Zheng Yucheng and others first, especially Xie Kai.

Cheng Rui originally thought Xie Kai was an important manager there. After going to inquire, he found out that he was still a college student...

Therefore, I didn't take it seriously.

"You also know the situation of 404. You may not know how it started to rise. They all think that the first fund of 404 was US$50 million from the 359 tank project that cooperated with Pakistan. In fact, before that, they received 30 million in funding..." Long Yaohua introduced the process of 404's fortune in detail.

Cheng Rui never expected that 404 had developed to this level and was related to someone like Xie Kai who seemed to have nothing to do with.
