Chapter 500: The Order that Goes in Circles! (The Third Update!)

The old duke's voice was somewhat excited, even a little treacherous. As for his thoughts, Kent naturally knew it very well.

It was nothing more than for money.

The Galileo navigation system is a global satellite navigation and positioning system being developed and established by the European Union, with the purpose of competing with America's GPS.

After all, it was the pioneering land of the Age of Discovery, and the ancestors were once rich. How could it not have its own navigation system?

For this reason, the European Union announced this plan in February 1999, and the European Commission and the European Space Agency were jointly responsible.

The entire system consists of 30 satellites with an orbital altitude of 23,616 kilometers, including 27 working satellites and 3 backup satellites.

The satellite orbital altitude is about 24,000 kilometers, located in 3 orbital planes with an inclination of 56 degrees. This is a medium-altitude circular orbit satellite positioning solution.

And according to the plan of the European Commission, the entire system will be completed by the end of 2007, put into use in 2008, and fully operational in 2013.

However, the work efficiency of European masters is very slow. So far, the Galileo project still only exists in PPT, and the relevant research institutes have been making progress.

But the progress is very slow, and even paused for a while.

The reason is that there is not much money.

In September 2003, an invitation was sent to China to invite China to join the Galileo project.

But now, a Chinese company says that it has a separate navigation system.

That means that China has made a real navigation system and is conducting crazy experiments.

If this news is thrown to the ears of the masters of the European Union at this time, they will definitely go crazy.

Then, crazy lobbying, pay money!

America's Leo project is too crazy, that is not what Europe can do, and it cannot follow.

But now it is not America, but China that the masters have watched for decades, and they will never allow China to surpass themselves.

In order to realize this plan, the European Union will definitely directly allocate funds to support related plans.

In addition, it will also pay for the construction of related supporting facilities.

These supporting funds are not all used for navigation systems, but if they can get involved, they can get a share of it.

A big piece of the pie.

Putting aside his random thoughts, Kent cast a look at Duke William, asking him if he was ready. After receiving the old duke's nod in response, he turned on the microphone and said gently to the phone:

"Mr. Lin Yu, please accept the weapons list. Finally, I want to ask one more question, do you really have a navigation system?"

"Yes! You can use it, but you have to pay extra!"

The cold voice came from the phone, making Kent and the others look at each other in surprise.

Is this person so direct?

…………

Squeaky!

The fax machine was working hard, spitting out the information from across the ocean.

A few minutes later, the squeaky sound disappeared, and there were several more pieces of paper filled with text requirements in front of the fax machine.

Reaching out to pick up the paper in front of the fax machine, Lin Yu's brows slowly frowned after seeing the text requirements clearly.

[155mm howitzer shell: Turkish characters are required to be engraved on the shell, content: Down with America! 】

[7.62mm x 39mm full-power bullet: Turkish characters are required to be engraved on the bullet shell, content: Down with America! ]

[Air defense missile: All large internal parts are required to be engraved with "Made by Aselsan"! ]

[……]

Next to him, Dolby, who had rushed back from Guizhou Province, put down the documents in his hand, slowly walked to the fax machine, reached out to pick up the documents, and read them casually.

While reading, he analyzed according to his own habits.

"The requirements are a bit troublesome. If we want to meet all these requirements, we need to adjust the production line, but the investment is a one-time investment. Next time we encounter this situation, we only need to adjust it..."

His suggestion was interrupted suddenly, and then he ran to the side with the documents in his hand as if he had seen a ghost, and picked up the documents he had just put down.

English version in the left hand, Chinese version in the right hand.

Comparing left and right.

The more he looked, the weirder the expression on his face became.

After comparing the two pages in his hand, the deputy director of the Rhine Steel Production Department slowly raised his head and asked with a strange look on his face:

"Well, should we find a professional translator to help?"

Next to the fax machine, Lin Yu waved his hand, walked to the recording equipment and monitor next to him, sat down on the chair, and then said softly: "No need to find it!"

"The contents of these two documents are exactly the same."

"At that time, Nicholas said that in addition to the group of people who came to us, there were several other groups of people, in Europe and Russia."

"Now it seems that this group of people went to England, and their procurement funds should only be one."

"That's why this kind of tripartite meeting happened."

"It's so fun."

"What should we do?" Durby leaned over and asked.

Durby didn't have any good feelings or malice towards the Turks. His only thought about these people was that they would give money.

The money they gave could help Rhine Steel grow.

As Rheinsteel grows, the Palestinians in Rheinsteel can also grow. When enough people grow, they will be able to drive out the Israelites and take back the land of Canaan!

As long as these people pay, the rest will be easy.

No money.

Get lost!

Grabbing a document with each hand, Lin Yu picked up the headset next to the monitor and began to remotely control Qian Duoduo in the conference room downstairs.

"Duoduo! The unit price of all commodities will be increased by 40% based on the current unit price. Our lovely friends specially dragged us to hold a telephone conference late at night to use the unit price of the other side to pressure us. We raised our unit price."

"Don't let them lower the price."

"Even if the English win the bid in the end, it will be easier for us to get money from the English than from Turkey."

In the conference room on the next floor, Qian Duoduo listened to the voice coming from the headset, slowly raised his eyes and looked across, looking at Jerome.

The excitement of participating in this kind of meeting alone for the first time dissipated, leaving only endless coldness.

After waiting for a long time, Qian Duoduo had to raise his hand and tap the table lightly to remind the other party before the other party finished speaking.

"Mr. Jerome, we are just doing an ordinary transaction, please don't talk about irrelevant issues."

"As the manufacturer of the goods, I need to confirm now, are your requirements on this list the final requirements?"

"If yes, please confirm."

"If not, please make your requirements clear at once. Once we confirm your requirements, we can place an order according to your requirements and coordinate international cargo ships at the same time."

The words were very serious and cold.

On the other side, Jerome heard these cold words and thought that his words were too long-winded, which made the young man on the other side impatient.

He quickly put on a smile and said gently: "The document contains our final conditions. Please Secretary Qian take a closer look. If there is no problem, please quote a price and I will report."

"If everything goes well, we can sign the contract today."

After confirming that the person on the other side had no other requirements, Qian Duoduo reached out and knocked on the headset with a large amplitude, without avoiding the person on the other side at all.

Upstairs, after receiving a signal from Qian Duoduo, Dolby took the microphone and said gently: "Do as the factory manager says!"

Downstairs, Qian Duoduo received the signal, opened the quotation document in front of him, picked up a pen and started to quote while calculating:

"Anti-aircraft missiles, because your requirements are very special, we need to adjust the production line additionally, the price... is about 240,000 US dollars."

"Anti-tank missiles, each one costs 60,000 US dollars."

"The price of the bullet must be at least 0.4 US dollars, because you require printing text on it, we need to add a device at the end of the production line."

"To be honest, if you don't add these conditions, you can get 20% more equipment for the same total price."

After quoting the price, Qian Duoduo looked at the other side with a smile, waiting for the other side's answer.

On the other side, Jerome slowly wrote the previous quotation on his notebook, and then his eyes fell on the other side.

Then he was stunned.

Because the price on Lin Yu's side and the price in England did not show the huge price difference they imagined.

Because of this, their idea of ​​using one side to suppress the other side fell through.

Awkward!

I've been planning for a long time.

That's it?

Rubbing his head irritably, Jerome sat up straight, took the phone, and contacted the person on the other side of the ocean.

"Okay, okay!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

While answering the phone, Jerome took notes.

After more than ten minutes, he pressed the notebook in front of him and said to the person opposite:

"Secretary Qian, our domestic opinions have arrived. According to the domestic opinions, your price is good, but a bit high."

"The domestic idea is to reduce your current price by 20%!"

"If this reduction can be achieved, we will consider purchasing!"

"Here, please trouble Secretary Qian to convey this message to General Manager Lin, thank you."

The sound fell into Qian Duoduo's ears at a speed of 340m/s. He raised his hand to press the earphone, and tapped the earphone after a few seconds.

Waiting quietly for Lin Yu's response.

In the meeting room upstairs, Lin Yu listened to the voice coming from downstairs, reached out to pick up the transatlantic phone on the table, and asked Kent across the street: "Haven't you decided yet?"

"Not yet!" Kent's gentle voice came, and a few seconds later, he screamed again: "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment, our people are thinking about it."

Lin Yu held the phone and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, Kent's voice sounded again:

"Mr. Lin, the Duke and his men just discussed it and sorted out a price. I'll give you a quote."

"Anti-aircraft missiles cost 180,000 US dollars..."

"In the end, you will ship it directly to the destination. Do you think it's okay?"

It took several minutes for Kent to finish all the prices. After listening, Lin Yu did not respond in a hurry, but reached out to turn off the call switch, keeping the phone connected so that the radio equipment could not receive the sound.

After doing this, he turned his head and looked at Dolby: "How is it?"

Faced with the inquiry, Dolby calmly grabbed a document next to him and threw it in front of Lin Yu.

Cost document.

In addition to the corresponding manufacturing cost, the document also contains related transportation costs.

In the column for air defense missiles, the total price including manufacturing and transportation is clearly marked: US$43,200.

Except for this expensive guy, the rest are even cheaper.

Flipping through the documents, Lin Yu praised: "Very good, it seems that we can make a lot!"

Using his words, Dolby folded his hands and said: "We can make a lot, but those damn English people can also make a lot."

"They quoted us $180,000. According to the habits of those vampires, their price will definitely not be lower than $210,000."

"My heart is bleeding when I think that they can make $30,000 with a few phone calls!"

"That's all my money!"

The more he talked, the more excited Dolby became. His handsome face became extremely hideous, looking like a demon.

Reaching out to pat the other party, Lin Yu picked up the microphone and told Qian Duoduo: "Tell them to reduce 20%!"

"But they will most likely choose the English, because they are senior!"

After giving the order, he picked up the phone again, turned on the call switch, and called Kent on the other side of the ocean:

"Kent, are you there?"

"I can accept 180,000, but you need to pay for the freight. If you can, then we will cooperate. If you don't pay for the freight, then forget it."

…………

England, London.

Kent put down the headset and turned his head to look at the old duke behind him: "My Lord, the other side said that we need to pay for the freight."

The word freight made the old duke feel a little heartbroken. He pressed the microphone and asked into the microphone: "How much is the freight?"

The next second, the butler's lukewarm voice came from the phone: "From China to Turkey, if the Suez Canal is opened, the freight is not expensive, and it will not exceed 5 million US dollars at most."

"But we have our own ships, freight."

"0!"

After that, the butler's laughter followed.

Listening to the laughter, the Duke couldn't help but relax a lot.

After getting the answer, Duke William pressed the microphone and gave orders to the butler: "Agree to pay the freight and let the Turks make the decision."

Paying the freight is for Kent.

Making the decision is for the butler.

The two people who received the order carried out their own orders. Kent picked up the phone, while the butler in the next room sat on the chair and stretched his waist, and asked the person opposite: "Mr. Kettle, have you made a decision?"

Across the street, Kettle heard the inquiry, subconsciously raised his head, looked at the butler, and quickly lowered his head, turned his face and whispered with his companion:

"No, why is China's equipment more expensive than England's?"

"Isn't their equipment always known for being cheap and durable?"

"What should we do?"

"What should we do? The domestic idea is to buy England's goods if there are any. After all, China's goods are too low-end, not to mention Besides, the price in England is lower than that in China."

"Is it confirmed?"

"Wait for the reply from China!"

"Why hasn't it come yet? I'm dying!"

"It's coming!"

"We agree to buy the equipment from England!"

After receiving the response from Turkey, Keitel stood up, bowed deeply to the butler opposite, and said softly:

"Dear Mr. Butler, congratulations, our country has decided to purchase your equipment!"

"The price is according to your price."

"We can sign the contract later, and then we will pay according to the contract, and you can produce and ship according to the contract!"

At the same time, Lanling.

Qian Duoduo also received the final confirmation from Jerome: "Sorry, Secretary Qian, after our domestic confirmation, our cooperation this time...cannot reach an agreement."

"Sorry!"
