Chapter 989: Transaction Under the Water

Du Fei returned to the house and was not in a hurry to report the situation to Zhu's father. What he said to Bush just now could only be regarded as a last ditch effort.

I don't have much confidence at all.

There is no point in reporting it now.

Moreover, Du Fei has done everything he can. Now that he has kicked the ball, it depends on the opponent's decision.

The best outcome is of course that Senator Gore is willing to settle the matter with Du Fei for his own benefit. Although Vincent had not disclosed Senator Gore's interests and concerns in Canada before, Du Fei estimated that they 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 something. In addition, as soon as Du Fei met Vincent and Henry, Bush came to visit.

It shows that Senator Gore is very anxious.

This is why Du Fei decided to give blackmail a try. Even if the hope is not great, it does not prevent you from hitting three poles if you have dates or not. For the next two days, there was no further news from Bush.

At this time, a person’s xinxing and concentration are most tested. ??

Du Fei was a little better. He sent crows to watch Bush early in the morning. Bush left on his bicycle that day and immediately returned to the Swiss Museum of History. I have been living in seclusion for the past two days, not going anywhere or seeing anyone. Apparently he was also waiting for a reply from Senator Gore.

In this matter, Bush is just a mouthpiece and has no decision-making power.

Similarly, Du Fei vaguely 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. We arrived at Dad Zhu’s office with ease.

As soon as he entered the house, Dad Zhu did not work at the desk, but sat on the sofa with a smile.

"Xiao Fei, come and sit~" Dad Zhu smiled and waved.

Du Fei called "Dad", walked over and sat down, and asked directly, "Is there something going on over there in the United States?" Dad Zhu said, "Oh? You guessed it."

Du Fei looked sincere and took the opportunity to tell the story of his meeting with Bush a few days ago.

Finally, he said, "Dad, I originally 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 of low rank and has directly found other communication channels."

Dad Zhu raised his hand and nodded at Du Fei a few times, and his tone was full of appreciation, "You kid! A few hours ago, they contacted us through secret channels. The other comrades didn't know what happened, and they were all confused."

When Du Fei heard this, he guessed it right.

This is normal. It involves tens of millions of dollars, four countries, and countless interests. How can it be possible for people of Du Fei's level to continue to control it?

But I felt a little depressed.

If before, according to normal transactions, the fire equipment company's account was used, Du Fei would definitely be able to withhold part of the funds. Although it won't be too much, there is always a few million yuan.

Now, I'm afraid I have to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes. You definitely can’t suffer a loss.

Judging from Dad Zhu's intentions, it would definitely not be Du Fei's turn to negotiate with Midi in this matter, so he would simply find ways to make up for it elsewhere.

Thinking of this, Du Fei wisely stopped clinging to this matter.

Anyway, the situation has been told to Dad Zhu. He doesn't have to worry about how to exchange benefits and bargain.

Du Fei organized his words a little, and said hey, "Dad, look at what I'm doing up and down this time. There's hard work without credit, isn't that right?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers.

Dad Zhu was in a good mood. Du Fei had to figure out something that he had no hope for. In the subsequent bargaining, we will definitely get a lot of benefits from Lao America.

He laughed and said, "You kid, what do you want?"

Du Fei was not polite and said, "Dad, I heard that our Beijing Tractor Factory doesn't seem to be doing well." Dad Zhu raised his eyebrows.

Look at him and say "You want it?"

Du Fei nodded.

Although it bears the name of "Jingcheng", the scale of "Jingcheng Tractor Factory" is not large, with only more than a thousand people in the whole factory.

It was originally a machine repair shop specializing in repairing tanks and artillery for the troops. Later, it introduced technology from the First Tractor Factory and began to produce crawler tractors and small tractors.

Unlike the 8270 factory, the Jingcheng Tractor Factory was not split to the southwest, but its operating conditions were not good. The scale is small, the output is small, there are no competitive products, and there are no people who can speak in the ministries and commissions.

The operating situation can only be said to be barely passable.

Du Fei decided on this factory after careful consideration.

If the deal with Canada goes well, after getting the money, Du Fei will plan to bring over the Beijing Tractor Factory before the end of the year.

First of all, the factory is not large in scale and not well run.

The higher-level units will not hold on to it. As long as the price is reasonable and a little bit of work is done, it will not be 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 Sugo's T62 tank in Longjiang.

There are tractor factories that can produce chassis, Li Mingfei's steel rolling mill that produces vehicle bodies, and the 8270 factory to cooperate. When the time comes, Du Fei will be able to quickly create a copycat version of T62.

At this time, the T62 tank can be regarded as the most advanced tank in the world, and with the blessing of the Sugo halo, it is definitely famous.

As long as it can be copied, even if the performance is slightly worse, it definitely has the potential to become a hit. Although we can't expect a large national-level order of hundreds of vehicles at a time.

But for some local forces, selling ten or eight cars is enough.

Tanks are serious big items, and you can earn more from selling one tank than thousands of rifles. Dad Zhu didn't wave his hand, but asked his secretary to bring over the information from the Beijing Tractor Factory.

Dad Zhu is not a god, and there are tens of thousands of factories across the country, so it is impossible for him to take it all to heart.

The secretary acted quickly and within a few minutes delivered a document bag with the name Jingcheng Tractor Factory written on it.

Dad Zhu took it over and took a brief look at the situation of the factory. He frowned and looked at Du Fei, "Xiao Fei, this factory almost suffered a loss last year."

Du Fei smiled and said, "Dad, I can't embarrass you. If it's a big factory that turns over its profits every year, can the First Machinery Department let it go so easily?"

Dad Zhu didn't say anything, but he felt quite comfortable in his heart.

I was very pleased that my son-in-law could put himself in his shoes and finally waved his hand, "Okay, I'll give you this factory, but the ugly thing is, once the factory is in your hands, you have to support yourself, and you can no longer point fingers at your superiors."

Du Fei understood that the important reason why the Beijing Tractor Factory did not lose money last year was that the First Machinery Department allocated a lot of production tasks.

Once you get to Du Fei, you will definitely not be able to eat this piece.

Du Fei was mentally prepared and immediately said, "Dad, don't worry, I understand."

After talking about the matter, Du Fei didn't waste any more time. He came out happily and rode back on his motorcycle. Today is a loss in the mulberry tree and a gain in the east.

Successfully winning the Beijing Tractor Factory is crucial to Du Fei's next plan.

After Du Fei left, Zhu's father immediately made a phone call, then hurriedly went out and walked to another yard. As soon as I entered the room, I heard a strong voice, "Here comes the guide~"

Dad Zhu entered the room, straightened his back, and stood at attention. The person in the room said "Sit down".

"Yes~" Dad Zhu sat on the sofa and immediately told the situation exactly as Du Fei reported just now. After hearing what he said, the old man in the room laughed loudly, "Issuing an invoice of 50 million, it's a shame he can think of it." Dad Zhu also laughed and said, "You brat, you just know how to fool around."

The old man said, "I think it's a good time! Come on, you are a very good son-in-law."

Du Fei didn't know that he had received a very good evaluation.

After leaving Dad Zhu's place, he didn't go back to the work directly, but went to the guest house to see Vincent.

by

We have to continue to cooperate in the future, and we must make it clear to Vincent to avoid any resentment. After a few days, I saw Vincent again. He had recovered from his depression.

The whole person feels more energetic.

After exchanging pleasantries, Du Fei said bluntly that Mei Di had already passed over him and contacted the peak directly. As soon as Vincent heard this, he knew it was all over.

Fortunately, I was mentally prepared in advance. If I didn’t have high hopes, I wouldn’t be disappointed.

So good at leisure

"Forget it, I've already guessed that it's not easy to make money." Then he asked, "What about you? What will you do if you produce those things?"

Du Fei said helplessly, "Just digest it slowly~"

On the face of it, Du Fei's losses were even greater this time. He started production early in the morning and had already stocked up a lot. The Canadian side only gave a deposit of 1 million.

This deposit is definitely non-refundable.

Now it is a case of force majeure. It is not that Du Fei does not supply the goods, but that there is no way to transport them. The only blame is that there is an arrogant and unreasonable neighbor in Canada.

But even with these deposits, the 8270 Factory worked overtime to produce the equipment and ammunition, which was barely considered a loss. .??.??

If you include transfers from other factories, this million US dollars will definitely not be enough.

However, Du Fei was not too entangled. The experience of modifying mortar shells this time was the biggest gain. However, Du Fei didn't expect it.

When he returned to the unit, an unexpected guest came.

In the reception room, Zheng Qingchun and Wu Hongqi were still with them.

This time the guest is not Bush, but Mr. Bethune, Henry Norman.

"Du~nice to meet you." Henry greeted Du Fei when he saw him. It was obvious that he was in a bad state. Even though his hair was meticulously combed and his beard was cleanly shaved, he couldn't hide the red bloodshot eyes.

When Du Fei saw this, he didn't make any false greetings, and said directly with a sad face, "Henry, I'm very sorry."

Henry Norman forced a smile and said, "I can't blame you, my friend." He couldn't help gritting his teeth as he said, "It's all those ungrateful rednecks! Those damn bastards."

Henry Norman completely ignored the so-called gentlemanly behavior and greeted his neighbors to the south with a series of vicious words. After finishing, he looked at Du Fei again, "Du, we are friends, right?"

"Of course~" Du Fei agreed happily, knowing that Henry was definitely not just here to curse. Henry asked earnestly, "Can you still sell me that mortar?"

Du Fei said without hesitation, "Of course, Henry, don't forget, you paid the deposit. Honesty is the most important thing for us flower growers." Henry breathed a sigh of relief, "I want fifty sets of those mortars."

In fact, when he saw Henry when he came back just now, Du Fei guessed his purpose.

Although the road to purchasing equipment on a large scale is blocked, there are still opportunities for small batch purchases through special channels. After all, in the vast Pacific, even if it is as powerful as the beautiful land, it is impossible to cover everything.

As for how Henry Norman transported these fifty sets of mortars and artillery shells back, that was not Du Fei's business to worry about. However, it was promised, but it could not be delivered immediately.

Through Du Fei's contact with Bush, the higher authorities will continue to send people to bargain with Senator Gore. There must not be any trouble at this time.

Once the negotiation is over, get the benefits you deserve. Then I won’t have those scruples anymore.

Even if the United States discovers it, we don’t have to admit it at all.

Anyway, how could such advanced mortar technology be produced by a plant with such backward technology? However, the outcome of the matter was far beyond Du Fei's expectation.

He didn't know how the two parties communicated in private and what exchange of interests they made. Five days later, Du Fei and Zhu Ting went home for dinner.

After dinner, Dad Zhu specially called Du Fei to the study. It can be seen that Dad Zhu is in a very good mood today. In the evening, I specially asked Du Fei to have a drink.

At that time, Du Fei speculated that the negotiation with Mei Di might have a good outcome.

After all, the other party is just a force represented by Senator Gore, and they represent their own interests, not the United States.

overall.

Under such circumstances, it would not be surprising to make some concessions in order to preserve personal interests. But Du Fei was still shocked when he heard the final price!

"Dad! Did I hear you right?" Du Fei's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. "Seven to seventy million US dollars?" Dad Zhu smiled, took a sip of tea, and nodded to him.

Du Fei blinked rapidly, his brain spinning rapidly. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!

Did Senator Gore's head get caught in the door? How could it be possible to give such a sky-high price?

When Du Fei opened his mouth to ask for 20 million, he felt like a lion had opened his mouth. Xunxiang finally bargained for 13 to 4 million.

Converted to RMB, just right

It's more than 40 million, which can almost wipe out the profit from this transaction. Who knows, within a few days, not only did it not decrease, but it more than tripled.

What the hell is going on?

Du Fei's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about what was going on.

Everything in the world has a price tag, and it cannot be given to you for free.

Dad Zhu looked at him with a smile, obviously a bit testing to see if Du Fei could think of it. Little did he know that Du Fei was a jerk.

Thoughts were running around in my head, and I soon came up with a clue. He immediately said, "Dad, is it because of Su Ge?"

Du Fei thought about it and found that the only one who could make Mei Di willingly take money was this old enemy.

No one would have thought now that just a few months later, Zhong Hua would have a direct quarrel with Su Ge. Apart from this, Du Fei really couldn't think of anything else that could sell for this price.

Fifty million US dollars is really not a small amount at this time.

But if it is used to deal with Su Ge, this is not a problem.

Moreover, it has been almost a year since Lin Tiansheng went to Longjiang Province, and he has already started making preparations. This is an established plan. Dad Zhu said calmly, "The other party brought it up first."

Du Fei felt a little complicated when he heard this.

This is obviously a test. Use these 50 million to see the reaction of planting flowers.

I don’t know how Senator Guer operates, but he is really powerful. Du Fei muttered in his heart, as expected of Yingjiang, he is really rich! But having said that, if you don’t take this money, you won’t get it for free.

It's just that these transactions under the water will never be brought to the table. Du Fei thought for a moment and hesitated slightly.

Dad Zhu saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and said, "You have something to say?"

Du Fei said "Yes" and organized his words a little, "Dad, we have some things to talk about in private. Do you think we can take this opportunity to speed up the easing of relations with the United States?"

Dad Zhu frowned and did not express his position directly.

Du Fei continued, "Now we and Big Brother will definitely not be able to go back to the past. If the United States is willing to open an opening for trade, our economic pressure will be much less."

Dad Zhu sighed, "Do you know what it means to be afraid of two things? Some things have great inertia and cannot be changed 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 still have to be patient and wait for the right time.”

Du Fei nodded and said nothing else.

Although Dad Zhu didn't give a clear answer, Du Fei had a hunch.

These incidents caused by selling equipment to Canada are likely to become the wings of butterflies, fermenting over time and causing huge deviations.

Du Fei was a little absent-minded when he came out of Dad Zhu's study.

When she got home, Zhu Ting couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Fei, what did you say to dad last night?"

Du Fei came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's okay. By the way, my third uncle will come back for a meeting in a few days. I would like to invite their family to our house for a meal."

Zhu Ting said, "What's there to think about? I don't know what to cook?" Du Fei smiled and simply didn't think about the mess. Just try your best.

A few days later, Vincent had returned to Xiangjiang. Before leaving, he asked Du Fei to help him find a way to get a few new mortars to serve as samples for sale.

Du Fei readily agreed.

Henry Norman also left, but not with Vincent.

, but went to Tianjin to take a boat. On board the ship with him were fifty sets of new mortars purchased.

Still based on the original price, one set is US$40,000, and fifty sets is two million. In name, it is an order signed at this year's trade fair and sent to Japan.

After arriving in the East, it will be transshipped to the port on the west coast of the United States. The cargo is unloaded from the port and trucked to Quebec.

It can be regarded as taking him by surprise.

The Americans never dreamed that Henry would dare to send those mortars to their port. Sending Henry Norman off, this matter finally came to an end.

In the morning, the morning glow is bright.

Du Fei stood on the platform and raised his hand to look at his watch. The train is slowly entering the station.

Yesterday Chen Zhongyuan called and said he would arrive early this morning. Du Fei came to meet him at the station.

Unexpectedly, when the train stopped, Chen Zhongyuan came out, followed by an unexpected person.
