Chapter 991: Transaction Under the Water
When Du Fei returned to the house, he was not in a hurry to report the situation here to Dad Zhu.
What he said to Bush just now can only be regarded as a last-ditch effort.
I don't have much confidence in my heart.
It doesn't make any sense to report now.
And Du Fei has already done everything he can. Now that the ball is passed, it depends on the opponent's choice.
The best result is, of course, that Senator Gale is willing to settle the matter with Du Fei for his own benefit.
Although Vincent did not disclose Senator Gale's interests and concerns in Canada before, Du Fei estimated that it must be very important.
Otherwise, people like Bush would not be easily used.
Given the prominent status of the Bush family, Senator Gore must pay an extra price if he wants him to do things.
In addition, as soon as Du Fei met Vincent and Henry on the front foot, Bush came to the door on the back foot.
It shows that Senator Gale is very anxious.
That's why Du Fei decided to try blackmail.
Even if the hope is not great, it does not hinder the three poles if there is no date.
For the next two days, there was no further movement from Bush.
At this time, the most test of people's concentration of mind.
Du Fei was a little better. He sent a crow to stare at Bush early in the morning.
Bush rode away that day and immediately returned to the Swiss Museum of History.
For the past two days, I have lived in seclusion without going anywhere or seeing anyone.
Apparently he was also waiting for a reply from Senator Gale.
In this matter, Bush is just a sounding board and has no decision-making power.
Similarly, Du Fei faintly felt that this matter was beyond his control.
Sure enough, at noon on the third day, Du Fei received a call from his secretary asking him to go to Dad Zhu's office immediately.
He arrived at Zhu's father's office with ease.
As soon as he entered the room, Dad Zhu didn't work at his desk, but sat on the sofa with a smile.
"Xiao Fei, come and sit~" Dad Zhu waved with a smile.
Du Fei called "Dad", walked over and sat down, and asked directly, "Is there something going on in Meidi?"
Zhu's father said, "Oh? You guessed it."
Du Fei looked earnest, and took the opportunity to talk about the meeting with Bush a few days ago.
At the end, he said, "Dad, I wanted to wait for the other party's reaction before reporting to you. But there has been no news in the past two days... I guess it may be that the other party thinks that I am low-ranking, so I directly found another communication channel... ..."
Zhu's father raised his hand and nodded to Du Feixu, and his tone was quite appreciative: "You boy! A few hours ago, they contacted us through a secret channel. The other comrades didn't know what happened, and they were all baffled."
When Du Fei heard it, he guessed right.
This is also normal, involving tens of millions of dollars, four countries, and countless interests... How could it be possible for people of Du Fei's level to manage it all the time.
But my heart was a little depressed.
If before, according to the normal transaction, the account of the fire equipment company was used, Du Fei would definitely be able to retain part of the funds.
Although not too much, there are always several million yuan.
Now, I'm afraid I need a bamboo basket to fetch water.
Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help rolling his eyes.
If you suffer a loss, you must not suffer a loss.
Judging from what Dad Zhu meant, the next task of negotiating with the United States in this matter must not be Du Fei's turn, so he simply seeks to make up for it from other places.
Thinking of this, Du Fei tactfully stopped clinging to this matter.
Anyway, I have told Dad Zhu about the situation, and he doesn't have to worry about how to exchange benefits and how to bargain.
Du Fei organized his words a little bit, and said hehe: "Dad, that...you see, this time I went up and down there, there is no credit but hard work, don't we..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers.
Zhu's father was in a good mood, and Du Fei had to find a new way of doing things that he hadn't expected.
In the following bargaining, he will definitely get a lot of benefits from Lao Mei.
Haha laughed and said, "Boy...say, what do you want?"
Du Fei was not too polite, he said: "Dad, I heard that our Jingcheng Tractor Factory seems to be not doing very well..."
Zhu's father raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "You want it?"
Duffy nodded.
Although it bears the name of "Jingcheng", the scale of "Jingcheng Tractor Factory" is not large, with only more than 1000 people in the whole factory.
At first, it was a machine repair shop specializing in the repair of tanks and cannons for the troops. Later, the technology introduced from the First Tractor Factory began to produce crawler tractors and small tractors.
Unlike the 8270 factory, the Jingcheng Tractor Factory was not split into the southwest, but the business situation was not good.
The scale is small, the output is low, there are no competitive products, and there are no people who can speak in the ministries and commissions.
The business situation can only be said to be barely passable.
After careful consideration, Du Fei decided on this factory.
If the deal with Canada goes well, after getting the money, Du Fei plans to get the Jingcheng Tractor Factory over by the end of the year.
Firstly, the scale of this factory is small, and the operation is not very good.
The higher-level unit will not hold on tightly, as long as the price is reasonable and a little operation, it is not difficult to get it.
Secondly, and most importantly, Du Fei took a fancy to its ability to produce tracked chassis and maintain tanks.
Wait until next year to get Sugoose's t62 tank in Longjiang.
There is a tractor factory capable of producing chassis, Li Mingfei's rolling mill produces car bodies, and the 8270 factory cooperates.
At that time, Du Fei will be able to quickly produce a knockoff version of t62 by following the gourd painting.
At this time, the T62 tank can be regarded as the most advanced tank in the world, and with the blessing of the Su Goose halo, it is definitely famous.
As long as it can be imitated, even if the performance is slightly worse, it definitely has the potential to become a hit.
Although you can't count on that kind of national level, a large order of hundreds of vehicles at a time.
But for some local powers, it is enough to sell ten or eight vehicles.
Tanks are serious big things, and you can make more money selling one tank than a few thousand rifles.
Zhu's father didn't wave his hand, but asked the secretary to bring over the materials of the Jingcheng Tractor Factory.
Zhu's father is not a god, and there are tens of thousands of factories in the country, and it is impossible to keep them in his heart.
The secretary acted quickly, and within a few minutes sent a document bag with the words of Jingcheng Tractor Factory written on it.
Father Zhu took it over, took a brief look at the situation of the factory, frowned, and looked at Du Fei: "Xiao Fei, this factory almost lost money last year."
Du Fei smiled and said, "Dad, I can't make things difficult for you. If it's a big factory that pays its profits every year, can the First Machinery Department let it go easily?"
Zhu's father didn't say anything, but he was quite comfortable in his heart.
I was very pleased that the son-in-law could put himself in his shoes, and finally waved his hand: "Okay, this factory is for you, but the ugly thing is, if the factory is in your hands, you have to support yourself, and you can no longer point to the superior unit."
Du Fei understood that the very important reason why the Jingcheng Tractor Factory did not lose money last year was that the Ministry of Machinery had allocated a lot of production tasks.
Once he got to Du Fei's place, he would definitely not be able to eat this one.
Du Fei was mentally prepared and immediately said, "Dad, don't worry, I understand."
After finishing talking, Du Fei didn't waste much time, and happily came out and rode his motorcycle back.
Today is the lost mulberry elm, and the harvested east corner.
The successful acquisition of the Jingcheng Tractor Factory is crucial to Du Fei's next plan.
After Du Fei left, Dad Zhu immediately made a phone call, then hurried out and walked to another yard.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard an angry voice: "Jietai is here~"
Zhu's father entered the room, straightened his back, and stood at attention.
The people in the room said "sit down".
"Yes~" Zhu's father sat on the sofa, and immediately explained the situation that Du Fei reported just now.
After hearing what he said, the old man in the room laughed loudly: "It's a good thing he can figure out an invoice for 5000 million."
Zhu's father also laughed and said: "You brat, you know how to mess around."
The old man said: "I think it's very good! Jietai~ Your son-in-law... is very good."
……
Du Fei didn't know that he got a 'very good' evaluation.
After coming out from Dad Zhu, he didn't go back to work directly, but went to the guest house to meet Vincent.
We have to continue to cooperate in the future, so we must make it clear to Vincent to avoid any suspicion.
After a few days, seeing Vincent again, he has recovered from depression.
The whole person is much more energetic.
After exchanging pleasantries, Du Fei got straight to the point, and Meidi had already stepped over him to contact Shangfeng directly.
As soon as Vincent heard it, he knew it was completely over.
Fortunately, I was mentally prepared earlier. Without much hope, it is not disappointing.
After a long time, he said: "Forget it, I guessed it a long time ago, this money is not easy to earn." Zhuan asked again: "What about you? What should we do if we produce those things?"
Du Fei said helplessly: "Digest slowly~"
On the bright side, Du Fei suffered a greater loss this time. Production started early in the morning, and he has already stocked up a lot.
On the Canadian side, only a deposit of 100 million was given.
This deposit is definitely non-refundable.
Now it's a case of force majeure, it's not that Du Fei doesn't supply the goods, but that there's no way to ship them.
The blame can only be blamed on an overbearing and unreasonable neighbor on the edge of Canada.
But even with these deposits, the equipment and ammunition produced by the 8270 factory overtime, that is to say, barely lost money.
If you count the transfer from other factories, the 100 million US dollars is definitely not enough.
However, Du Fei was not too entangled. The experience of transforming mortar shells this time is the biggest gain.
However, Du Fei didn't expect it.
When he returned to work, an unexpected guest came.
I saw Zheng Qingchun and Wu Hongqi were still in the reception room.
This time the guest was not Bush, but Mr. 'Bethune', Henry Norman.
"Du~ Nice to meet you." Henry greeted Du Fei, and it was obvious that he was not in a good condition.
Even though her hair was combed meticulously and her beard was clean-shaven, she couldn't hide the bloodshot eyes.
Seeing this, Du Fei didn't exchange hypocritical greetings, and directly said with a sad face: "Henry, I'm very sorry..."
Henry Norman forced a smile: "It's not your fault, my friend..." He couldn't help gnashing his teeth: "It's all those ungrateful red necks! Those damned bastards..."
Henry Norman, completely disregarding the so-called gentlemanly demeanor, greeted his neighbors to the south with a series of vicious words.
After finishing the matter, he looked at Du Fei again: "Du, we are friends, right?"
"Of course~" Du Fei readily agreed, knowing that Henry definitely didn't just come here to scold others.
Henry said earnestly: "That kind of mortar...can you still sell it to me?"
Du Fei said without hesitation: "Of course, Henry, don't forget, you have paid a deposit, and we flower growers value integrity the most."
Henry breathed a sigh of relief: "I want fifty sets of that kind of mortar."
In fact, when he came back and saw Henry just now, Du Fei guessed his reason for coming.
Although the way to buy equipment on a large scale is blocked, there are still opportunities for small batches to go through special channels.
After all, in the vast Pacific Ocean, even if it is as strong as the United States, it is impossible to cover everything.
As for how Henry Norman transported the fifty sets of mortars and shells back, that was not Du Fei's concern.
However, the promise was promised, but the delivery could not be made immediately.
Through Du Fei's contacts with Bush, the higher authorities will continue to send people to bargain with Senator Gore.
There must be no confusion at this time.
After the negotiation is over, take the benefits that should be taken.
Then there will be no worries.
Even if Meidi finds out, we don't have to admit it at all.
Anyway, how could it be possible to make such advanced mortars with 'backward technology' planting flowers.
However, the result of the matter was far beyond Du Fei's expectation.
He didn't know how the two parties communicated in private, and what kind of benefits they exchanged.
Five days later, Du Fei and Zhu Ting went home for dinner.
Zhu's father called Du Fei to the study after dinner.
It can be seen that Zhu's father is in a particularly good mood today.
In the evening, I specially asked Du Fei to have a drink.
At that time, Du Fei guessed that the negotiation with Meidi might have turned out well.
After all, the other party is just a party represented by Senator Gell, representing their self-interest, not the United States as a whole.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising to make some concessions in order to preserve self-interest.
But when Du Fei heard the final price, he was still taken aback!
"Dad! Did I hear you right~" Du Fei's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "Seven to $7000 million?"
Zhu's father smiled, took a sip of tea, and nodded at him.
Du Fei blinked his eyes quickly, his brain spinning rapidly.
Logically, it shouldn't be!
Was that Senator Gale's head caught in the door?How could such a sky-high price be given.
When Du Fei opened his mouth to ask for 2000 million, he felt that the lion had opened his mouth. After thinking about the final bargain, he could reach 400 million.
Converted into RMB, it is exactly more than 4000 million, which can almost wipe out the profit of this transaction.
Who knows, within a few days, not only did it not decrease, but it more than tripled.
What's so special about this?
Du Fei's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about what was going on.
Everything in the world is marked with a price tag, and it is impossible to give it to you for no reason.
Zhu's father smiled and watched him, obviously taking a test to see if Du Fei could think of it.
But they didn't know that Du Fei was just a jerk.
Thoughts swirled around in my mind, and soon came to my mind.
Immediately said: "Dad~ is it... because of Jesus Goose?"
After much deliberation, Du Fei found that only this old enemy could make Meidi willing to take the money.
No one would have imagined now what would happen just a few months later.
Apart from this, Du Fei really couldn't think of anything else that could be sold at this price.
5000 million US dollars is really not a decimal at this time.
But if it is used to deal with big geese, this is not a problem.
Moreover, it has been almost a year since Lin Tiansheng went to Longjiang Province, and he has already started to make preparations. This is an established plan.
Zhu's father said indifferently: "The other party brought it up first."
When Du Fei heard this, he felt a little complicated.
Obviously, this is a test, let's see Du Fei's reaction through the 5000 million.
I don't know how that Senator Gale did it, but he is really powerful.
Du Fei muttered in his heart, he really deserves to be Ying Jiang, he is really rich and powerful!
But having said that, if you don't take this money, you won't take it for nothing.
Du Fei thought about it and hesitated a little.
Zhu's father saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and said, "Is there anything to say?"
Du Fei let out a "huh" and organized his words a bit: "Dad, there are some things we have to say in private, do you think we can take this opportunity to speed up the easing of relations with the United States?"
Zhu's father frowned, but did not express his opinion directly.
Du Fei continued: "Now we and Big Brother will never go back to the past... If Meidi is willing to open up trade, our economic pressure will be much less."
Zhu's father sighed: "Do you know what it means to be afraid of beating a wolf with a hemp pole? Some things are very inertial, and it is impossible to change them at will. You have a good idea and the right direction, but if you want to get a good result, these are not enough , You must also be patient and wait for an appropriate time."
Du Fei nodded and didn't say anything else.
Although Dad Zhu didn't give a clear answer, Du Fei had a premonition.
Because these things caused by selling equipment to Canada are likely to become the wings of a butterfly, fermenting over time, bringing about huge deviations.
Coming out of Dad Zhu's study, Du Fei was a little absent-minded.
Back home, Zhu Ting couldn't help asking: "Xiao Fei, what did you say to Dad at night?"
Du Fei came back to his senses, smiled and said: "It's okay, by the way, the third uncle will come back for a meeting in a few days, I want to invite their family to our house for dinner."
Zhu Ting said: "What's there to think about? I don't know what to cook?"
Du Fei smiled, and simply stopped thinking about those messy things.
Just do your best.
A few days later, Vincent had already returned to Xiangjiang. Before he left, he asked Du Fei to help him find a way to get some new mortars to serve as samples for sales.
Du Fei readily agreed.
Henry Norman also left, but instead of going with Vincent, he went to Tianjin to take a boat.
On board with him were fifty sets of new mortars purchased.
Still according to the original price, one set is 200 US dollars, and fifty sets is [-] million.
Nominally, it was an order signed at this year's trade fair and sent to Toyo.
After arriving in the East Ocean, they will be transshipped to the port on the west coast of the United States.
The cargo is unloaded from the port and transported by truck to Quebec.
It can also be regarded as attacking people by surprise.
The Americans never dreamed that Henry dared to send those mortars to their ports.
Sending Henry Norman away, this matter finally came to an end.
In the morning, the morning glow is bright.
Du Fei stood on the platform and looked at his watch.
The train is slowly coming in.
Yesterday Chen Zhongyuan called and said he would arrive early this morning.
Du Fei came to pick him up.
Unexpectedly, the train stopped and Chen Zhongyuan came out, followed by an unexpected person.
