Chapter 499 Multilateral Telephone Conference! (Second Update!)
The butler's words made Duke William very confused. If all future orders were handed over to this factory called Rheinsteel to complete.
Then you can make a lot of profits from it.
Moreover, they can also take advantage of the opportunity of closing down those shabby arsenals in the country to exchange for the support of those idiot politicians.
Making some exchanges will benefit you without any harm.
As for England’s defence…
Since the war with Argentina, the whole world has known that England's military strength is a piece of cake.
As a result, politicians focused on military spending.
What are you doing with so much military spending? Even Argentina can't beat it.
It is better to use this money on people's livelihood.
Therefore, almost every time there is an election, politicians will regard reducing military spending as their primary goal and then vigorously promote it.
After taking office, they immediately took drastic measures to slash military spending.
Over the years, ordinary English people have believed that these English soldiers can still protect them from threats in war.
The people at the top are making preparations at any time. As long as the war starts, America will be moistened immediately.
America is far away from the World Island and was not greatly affected by World War I and World War II. Even if three wars broke out, it would certainly not be affected.
Therefore, Run America is the best choice!
Miscellaneous thoughts emerged in his mind, and finally calmed down, and Duke William also made his decision:
"Butler, you and little Kent go to meet those Turks and see their conditions and ideas."
"Then you come back. You are responsible for contacting the person in China and working with Little Kent to get this list."
"Understood!" The butler bowed down gracefully and took over the task.
Meanwhile, on the other side of London, Islington.
In a very ordinary Turkish restaurant, several Turks were eating in a private room. Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the pocket of the man by the window.
The man frowned, took out his cell phone, then walked to the window and listened quietly to the sound coming from the cell phone.
After a long while, he said: "Okay, I'll trouble you, Mr. Butler!"
Putting down the phone, the man turned back to look at the people at the table and said, "The butler of the Duke of England agreed to meet with us to discuss the specific details of equipment purchase."
"In addition to us, the group going to China also received an invitation from that manufacturer."
"In other words, if our timing is right, we can definitely have a bilateral real-time negotiation."
“Then use the price on one side to drive down the price on the other side.”
"This way, we can pay the least amount of money and get the most equipment."
"After doing this, we can still get some profit sharing."
When they heard that you can do more with less money, the group of people at the dining table didn't have much thought, but after hearing the word "dividing money", their eyes immediately lit up.
If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
Done!
Seeing the movements on their faces, the man nodded vigorously and said, "Since everyone has no objections, I will contact Jerome and make an agreement with him."
"After you finish eating, go back and get ready!"
After leaving a few words, the man took out his mobile phone, opened the door of the restaurant's private room and walked out of the room.
…………
"Mr. Lin, since you have been honest, I will no longer hide it. I am a person affiliated with the logistics support department under the Turkish Ministry of Defense."
"For your equipment price, number of gifts, and other related things, we need to contact the country in real time and let people in the country make a series of confirmations."
"Of course, if relevant information leaks, we in Türkiye will bear all responsibilities."
"If Mr. Lin thinks it is okay, then we will agree on a time and then have formal talks."
In the reserved hotel, Jerome held the brochure in his hands, looked at Lin Yu in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and softly explained the news from the other side.
On the opposite side, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown after hearing Jerome's thoughts.
If it is a formal military equipment procurement, Jerome's idea is understandable. After all, formal military equipment procurement involves a lot of things.
It is possible that if you give up a little bit here, other places will have to make up for it a hundred times.
In addition to the initial reserve price, the follow-up needs to be based on the actual situation. Both parties will report separately, and then let the higher-level people make decisions.
OK, let’s move on to the next point.
If you are not sure, hang it up first and look at other points.
If there are too many disputes, then there is a sufficient exchange of views.
If there is no dispute, or if the dispute is not significant, then both parties have reached an agreement.
But the problem is...
This time it is not a formal military equipment purchase.
Whose regular army sent white gloves to purchase?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yu decided to give this guy face for the sake of money.
There is no justice in buying and selling. If these guys ask the price this time, waste their time, and finally say no to buying it.
Then next time, their hostile forces come to buy equipment, then they can only give their hostile forces a discount.
And they will clearly tell the other party that the discount is for Türkiye's sake.
Thinking about it, the Turks should be happy that they gave them face.
Nodding his head vigorously, Lin Yu said calmly: "Okay! But I will arrange the relevant communications. Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop on you. I just want to ensure the safety of both parties."
Lin Yu took a step back, and Jerome knew that this was the biggest concession he could get.
It's just that what he did was not very authentic.
Take a deep breath, stand up, and bow deeply to Lin Yu opposite: "Thank you!"
Sincerely.
Because he and other companions will use the young man in front of them.
"You're welcome!" Lin Yu responded lightly with a wave of his hand, then stood up and walked towards the door of the small room.
When he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to remind: "Confirm the time as soon as possible!"
In the corridor, Qian Duoduo was waiting beside him. When he saw Lin Yu coming out, he immediately greeted him and showed his mobile phone and notebook in his hand.
There were a few words written on the notebook.
England-Kent-Equipment!
Seeing these words, Lin Yu's memories began to emerge in his mind. At the same time, he grabbed the phone and did not make a call. Instead, he waited until he got into Passatari before dialing the phone.
"Mr. Kent?"
"Thank God, Mr. Lin Yu, I finally got in touch with you!" Kent's young and grateful voice came from the phone, followed by more words:
"Mr. Lin Yu, this time I contact you because I have some new business to discuss with you. I wonder if you are free now?"
"Free! Please go!" Lin Yu responded quickly.
As a person who is greedy for money, as long as he has money, Lin Yu feels that he is free, even if he is not free, he has to squeeze it out.
After getting a response, Kent on the other side said more:
"Specifically, in addition to the previous shells, we also want to purchase a batch of portable air defense missiles and anti-tank missiles."
"Then, for the relevant prices, we may need to start a remote conference call to discuss."
"I don't know if Mr. Lin is willing."
After going through these words in his mind, Lin Yu focused on the words "conference call".
At this moment, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the hotel he had just left.
Hmm...
What are these people thinking?
Why do they all want to hold a remote conference call so suddenly?
Is it an appointment?
"Mr. Lin Yu, are you still there?" Kent's voice came again on the phone, with a little anxiety.
It seems that he is afraid that the people here will not agree with his plan.
The voice pulled Lin Yu's thoughts back from his wild thoughts. Staring at the phone, he sighed. One sheep is driven, two sheep are also driven, so let it be.
Put the phone to your ear and whispered:
"Okay, you guys set a time and give me a call. I'm available anytime."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin Yu!"
After a thank you, the phone was hung up.
Holding the phone and thinking for a long time, feeling the cool breeze blowing from the gap of the car window, Lin Yu whispered to Qian Duoduo:
"When you return to the base today, hurry up to set up two dedicated remote telephone conference rooms."
"Separate them on two floors, and then you will be responsible for the Turkish meeting, and I will go to the English one."
"Connect another dedicated line to transfer the sound and picture of the Turkish negotiation scene to the English conference room."
"I always feel that there is something fishy."
When Lin Yu called just now, he did not avoid Qian Duoduo, so he also heard some words.
Now Lin Yu said there is something fishy again.
Then there must be something fishy.
He nodded his head vigorously, turned around, and drove to the car manufacturing company.
The new building of the base has not been built yet, and only the car manufacturing company can do this step.
Go and set up the scene first, no matter what the other party has tricks, the people are here.
At worst, these people will be packed, loaded onto the truck, loaded onto the ship, and sent to the Americans.
I think the Americans should like these Turks very much.
Literally like!
…………
London.
Duke William slowly put on his headphones, twisted the earphones, and said to the microphone: "Hello, hello, can you hear my voice?"
"My Lord Duke, you can hear it, very clear voice, can you see the picture?"
"Yes, very clear, when will the Turks arrive?"
"It is 12:23 now. The time difference between China and us is 7 hours ahead. It is 19:23 now. The time agreed with Mr. Lin Yu is 20:00. There is still half an hour. We can wait a little longer."
Hearing that there is still half an hour, Duke William got up naturally and walked to the small dining table next to him.
That is, if these Turks have money in their hands, he will not sleep in the middle of the day, not eat lunch, and chat with them here when he has time.
If he has no money, he will kill them directly.
He took a few bites of the cakes on the small dining table and drank a cup of sweet tea.
The Turks have arrived.
It was still the butler who came forward.
The old butler in his sixties sat down at the conference table, and a breath of indifference slowly emanated from him, and at the same time, there was also a breath of elegance.
These two auras intertwined, making the Turks opposite him not think of despising him.
Both parties simply nodded, and a man from the Turks walked out, holding a list in both hands and came to the butler, handing over the list in both hands.
The butler also stood up with great respect, stretched out his hands elegantly to take the list, and sat down.
Looked at it calmly.
After a moment, he asked softly: "Although you are not a member of the European Union, you are all members of NATO. Do you need to use 7.62mm full-power bullets?"
"The price of this bullet is not low! You have to think it through."
"And your shells... 155mm shells, in fact, we have better ones, the price is a little more expensive, I don't know if you are willing to replace it."
"In fact, the cost will not increase too much, but the benefits will be much greater."
"The anti-aircraft missiles require Turkish words to be printed. Excuse me, Mr. Keitel, if you only require Turkish words to be printed on the shell parts, then I can agree, but if it is a part."
"Sorry, you have to pay more, a lot of money! According to the current international market, the price of a single-soldier anti-aircraft missile is 200,000 US dollars. To do this, you have to pay at least 250,000 US dollars per missile."
"Anti-tank missiles are cheaper, but the price will not be much lower!"
"Satellite positioning system..."
"This... I need to ask Mr. Duke, I can't make the decision."
Leaving a word, the butler grabbed the documents in his hand, bowed his head to the person in front of him apologetically, got up and walked out of the room.
In the next room, Duke William sat next to Kent, listening to the conversation between Kent and Lin Yu.
"Mr. Lin Yu, you said you can provide a satellite positioning system? There is a little error, but not big. Just increase the amount of medicine?"
"That's great!"
"For a single-soldier air defense missile, the cost of printing text on some important parts will increase, about 210,000 US dollars, but we have to provide the fonts ourselves?"
"How many tons of shells are needed? Isn't it calculated according to the number of bullets?"
"Bullets too? As many as you want, all kinds of models are available, as long as we are willing to pay?"
After listening to the offer from the other side, Kent turned off the microphone, turned around, stared at the old duke behind him, and said in a daze:
"That Lai Yin Gangtie said that it was all right. No matter what the requirements were, he could do it as long as he was paid. If you don't have money, don't bother. "
"He also said that they have a satellite navigation and positioning system. The error in Europe is about 50 meters, but he also said that this error is nothing. Just change the caliber of the artillery from 120 mm to 155 mm. "
"It just so happens that we also need to buy a large number of 155 mm shells. He replaced it with a better CL20 charge. "
"It can perfectly solve this problem. "
Well...
The group of people in the room fell silent. This... This is indeed a way to solve the problem of accuracy when the accuracy is insufficient.
It's good.
It's just a bit useless.
After a short silence, Duke William's expression became serious, and he said to Kent word by word: "You contact Lin Yu again now, send the equipment list, let him confirm the unit price, and finally confirm whether he really has a satellite positioning system. "
"If all this is true, maybe we can still do something in it and take control of Galileo into our own hands. "
