683 Over $1.6 billion. Can Egyptians afford it?(2/2)
Muhanard looked at Xie Kai with disbelief.
This plan has already been criticized by many people, and they are embarrassed to spread it all over the world.
How do Chinese people know?
"Mr. Minister, the Americans are just helping you transform the technology of the T54. They can equip the power system from Germany and the artillery from the United States, and they can get 150 million US dollars in funding. And you only purchase 300 of our 359 tanks, each priced at only 1.95 million US dollars, and you want to get the technology. Is it appropriate? This is the most advanced tank in the world, although the tonnage cannot be compared with the American m60a3 and m1..." Xie Kai's question made the Egyptians even more speechless.
"Is this true?" Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai angrily.
Xie Kai didn't say anything, just stared at the Egyptians.
Muhanard never expected that things would exceed their imagination, "Thank you, we don't need too many tanks..."
"There is no problem based on the purchase quantity of 300 vehicles. However, other conditions need to be changed. The purchase price of the 359 tank must be 2.2 million US dollars per vehicle. In addition, a technical usage fee of 200 million US dollars was paid." Xie Kai's butcher knife, which had been polished for several days, finally raised it and fell down.
Whether the Egyptians think whether they are slaughtered or not.
Zheng Yucheng and others almost took a breath.
Xie Kai's knife was too fierce.
When Pakistan got the technology, it only paid $50 million in technology usage fees.
It would take 200 million to the Egyptians?
Production line-related equipment is not free, and you have to spend money to purchase it from China.
"Your conditions are too unacceptable..." Ariyaf said angrily.
For $200 million, it is really not cost-effective to buy a tank to improve technology.
"There is no room for negotiation in this matter. If you want to bind the cooperation of more than seven projects to the 359 tanks, then you must pay the corresponding cost. We will not harm our own interests for a certain project. Once you obtain the manufacturing technology of the 359 tank, there will be tens of thousands of T54 tanks in the Middle East alone. No matter how much profit this business can bring, we are not fools..."
Until now, my face has been torn apart, and there is no need to take care of my face.
Xie Kai is not afraid that the Egyptians will disagree.
Now the Egyptians have not purchased a large number of m60 Patton tanks from the United States. According to the cooperation with the United States in later generations, especially after the United States helped to come up with the 59 Patton plan, Egypt purchased 400 m60a1, 1,300 m60a3 from the United States!
Now, at most, only 400 m60a1s have been purchased. If the versatility of some spare parts of the t54 and m60 tanks cannot be completed, it will be difficult to follow-up purchases.
"Xie Kai, are such conditions too high? As the production volume of our 359 tank increases, the cost of the cost has dropped a lot." Zheng Yucheng was worried that the Egyptians would be frightened by such conditions and eventually cancelled the cooperation.
"Uncle Zheng, don't worry. Their purpose is to improve the technology of the 359 tank." Xie Kai explained.
"Why are you so sure?" Xie Jianguo was really annoyed by his son.
It seems that he only knows the big things in the world.
No one knows what exactly happened.
"Egypt and the United States are cooperating. In order to develop their own country's main battle tanks, the Ministry of Defense and War Products did allocate more than 200 million yuan, and the Americans took away $150 million. In fact, it was just to install the US m68 tank gun used on Patton on the T54 tank, the German 1,200 horsepower engine, etc.... Just for this design, I paid $150 million. The 359 tank caliber was 125 mm!"
When Xie Kai talked about this, he was so angry that he was so angry.
When China's technology is cheap?
