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 result is of course that Senator Gore is willing to settle the matter with Du Fey for his own benefit. Although Vincent did not disclose Senator Gore's interests and concerns in Canada before, Du Fey estimates 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 would have to pay an extra price if he wanted 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 was low, it did not prevent him from making three mistakes. In the next two days, there was no movement from Bush.
At this time, people’s xinxing and determination 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. He had been living in seclusion for the past two days, not going anywhere or meeting anyone. Apparently he was also waiting for Ge.
Senator's reply.
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. He 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 since there has been no news in the past two days, I guess it may be that the other party thinks that my level is low, so they directly found other communication channels."
Dad Zhu raised his hand and nodded at Du Fei a few times, and his tone was full of praise, "You kid! A few hours ago, they contacted us through secret channels. The other comrades didn't know what was going on, 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 would not be too much, there would always be several 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. He must not suffer a loss.
Judging from Dad Zhu's intentions, it will definitely not be Du Fei's turn to negotiate with Midi in this matter, and he will simply find ways to make up for it elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Du Fei was wise enough not to continue to cling to this matter.
Anyway, the situation has been told to Dad Zhu. He doesn’t need 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 no credit but hard work, aren't we?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers.
Dad Zhu was in a good mood, and he let Du Fei come up with a new idea for something he had no hope for. In the subsequent bargaining, he would definitely be able to get a lot of benefits from Lao Mei.
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 a thousand people in the whole factory.
It was first 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 business situation was not good. It was small in scale, with low output, no competitive products, and no one who could speak well in the ministries and commissions.
The business 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 it is operated a little, it will not be difficult to get it. Secondly, and most importantly, Du Fei is interested in its ability to produce crawler chassis and maintain tanks. Wait until next year in Longjiang
We got Sugo's T62 tank over there.
There are tractor factories that can produce chassis, and Li Mingfei's steel rolling mill produces car bodies, plus the cooperation of the 8270 factory. When the time comes, Du Fei will be able to quickly produce a copycat version of the 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 it is not expected to be a national-level large order of hundreds of vehicles at a time.
But for some local forces, selling ten or eight cars is enough for them.
Tanks are serious big items, and you can earn more from selling one tank than thousands of rifles. Dad Zhu did not wave his hand, but asked his secretary to bring the information about the Beijing Tractor Factory.
Dad Zhu is not a fairy. There are tens of thousands of factories across the country, so it is impossible to take them all into consideration.
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 make things difficult for you. If it's a big factory that turns over its profits every year, how can the First Machinery Department let you 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 finishing talking about the matter, Du Fei didn't waste any more time. He came out happily and rode back on his motorcycle. Today was a day of lost things and gained 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 he entered the house, a strong voice came out, "Jie Tai is here~"
Dad Zhu entered the room, straightened his back, and stood at attention. The people in the room said, "Sit down."
"Yes~" Dad Zhu sat on the sofa and immediately told him exactly what Du Fei had just reported. 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 mess around."
The old man said, "I think it's a good show! You're a very good son-in-law."
Du Fei didn't know that he had received a very good evaluation.
After leaving Zhu's father's place, he did not 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 suspicion. After a few days, I saw Vincent again, and 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 that there was no chance.
Fortunately, I was mentally prepared in advance. If I don’t have high hopes, I can’t say I’m disappointed.
So good at leisure
He said, "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 surface, Du Fei's losses were even greater this time. Production started early and he had already stocked up a lot. The Canadian side only gave a deposit of one million.
This deposit is definitely non-refundable.
Now it is a force majeure situation. 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 overbearing 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 we 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 did not 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 said hello when he saw Du Fei. It was obvious that he was in a bad state. Even though his hair was combed meticulously and his beard was cleanly shaved, he couldn't hide his eyes.
The red blood in it.
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 manners and greeted his neighbors to the south with a series of vicious words. After he finished, he looked at Du Fei and said, "Du Fei, we are friends, right?"
"Of course~" Du Fei agreed happily, knowing that Henry was definitely not just here to curse. Henry said sincerely, "Can you still sell me that mortar?"
Du Fei said without hesitation, "Of course, Henry, don't forget, you paid the deposit. We flower growers value integrity the most." 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 as powerful as the United States, it is impossible to cover everything.
As for how Henry Norman would transport these fifty sets of mortars and artillery shells back, that was not Du Fei's business to worry about. However, he promised, but could not deliver the goods immediately.
Through Du Fei's contact with Bush, the higher authorities will continue to send people to bargain with Senator Gore. We must not cause trouble at this time.
Once the negotiation is settled, you will get the benefits you deserve. Then you will no longer have any worries.
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 with such backward technology? 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 benefits were exchanged. Five days later, Du Fei and Zhu Ting went home for dinner.
After dinner, Dad Zhu specially called Du Fei to the study. It could be seen that Dad Zhu was in a particularly good mood today. He specially asked Du Fei to have a drink in the evening.
At that time, Du Fei speculated that the negotiations with the United States 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 is not surprising to make some concessions in order to preserve personal interests. But when Du Fei heard the final price, he was still shocked!
"Dad! Did I hear you right?" Du Fei's eyes widened with an incredulous look on his face. "Seven to seventy million US dollars?" Dad Zhu smiled, took a sip of tea, and nodded to him.
Du Fei blinked his eyes rapidly, his brain spinning rapidly. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be!
Did Senator Gore have his head caught in the door? How could he offer 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, so he finally bargained for 13 to 4 million.
Converted to RMB, just right It was more than 40 million, which almost wiped out the profit from this transaction. Who knew, 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 trying to see if Du Fei could think of it. But he didn't know that Du Fei was a fool.
Thoughts were running around in my mind, and I soon thought of the clue. I 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 be sold at 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 proposed it first."
When Du Fei heard this, he felt a little complicated.
This is obviously a test. Use these 50 million to see the reaction of planting flowers.
I don’t know how that Senator Gale operated, but he really has great powers. Du Fei muttered in his heart, he is indeed a Yingjiang, he is really rich! But then again, this money will not be free until you take it.
It's just that these transactions under the water will never be brought to the table. Du Fei thought about it 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 speech 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 and the United States are 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.
Coming out of Dad Zhu's study, Du Fei was a little distracted.
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 his 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 easy promotion.
Du Fei readily agreed.
Henry Norman also left, but not with Vincent
, but went to Tianjin to take a boat. On board the boat 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. It is nominally an order signed at this year's trade fair and will be sent to Japan.
After arriving in the East, it is transshipped to a port on the west coast of the United States. The goods are unloaded from the port and then transported to Quebec by truck.
It can be regarded as catching someone unawares.
The Americans never dreamed that Henry would dare to send those mortars to their port. By 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 raised his hand to look at his watch. The train was slowly entering the station.
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.
