Regarding the empty-handed plan played by these Americans, Yang Zhen, who immediately noticed that the United States was determined to do so, couldn't help but sneer and said: "Mr. Wilson, your plan is really shrewd.
It can be said that it is well-intentioned.【.”
"With only 50 million US dollars, I bought two pharmaceutical production technologies that can bring you huge profits. Not only can it also defeat our own national pharmaceutical industry in disguise, it can even help you advertise, promote products, and help you in disguise.
Occupying this huge market in China is so smart. You are so smart. Should I applaud you?"
"Since you have come up with your so-called plan, then I have nothing to hide. The fixed price, 200 million US dollars of the 500 million US dollars, will be paid in cash. The remaining 300 million US dollars, you and I can use barter.
The method of exchange of goods. But what we use to offset the US$300 million must be decided by us. I insist on this. I will not and cannot compromise."
Having said that, Yang Zhen pushed the English version of the materials that Yuan Zhiruo had translated in a hurry before the meeting to James who was sitting opposite him and said: "As for what materials will be used to pay for the three hundred million US dollars?"
, we have listed a detailed breakdown based on our own needs."
"Since it seems that James is the main negotiator between you, I think it is best for Mr. James to review this information first, so as to save you from going back and saying that you are not prioritized and neglecting you. We don't want to be innocently treated by others.
Splash dirty water all over you."
When James, who was forced to shut up by Major Pearson, took the information handed over by Yang Zhen and read it carefully, he frowned. Although he did not put on airs on the spot, he frowned and said: "Yang, you
This is blackmail. A steelmaking plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons, two production lines for heavy-duty trucks and their engines, and a production line for P-39 fighter jets and their engines."
"There are all these things above, all involving machinery and equipment produced by the military industry. And most of the equipment needs to be delivered within three months. You must know that within three months, we negotiate with the suppliers and send it to the bureaucrats in the State Council.
There is not enough time for approval.”
"Also, what do you need drilling equipment for? As far as I know, there are no oil fields in your jurisdiction. Even China is an oil-poor country. I would like to take the liberty to ask, you only import these for drilling oil fields.
Is the drilling equipment used for drilling water wells?”
"I'm sorry Yang, as far as I know, most of these things are currently prohibited from being exported by the United States. You have to be clear that the U.S. State Department cannot approve most of your things. And we don't have the ability to pay for them.
The huge cost of these production lines. If we have this ability, why should we go around in circles with you and just pay 500 million US dollars."
"We simply don't have the ability to buy these things. Even if we can buy them, the U.S. State Department will not approve the export of these things. Moreover, it is difficult for us to bear such a large expenditure of 200 million US dollars in cash. We at Pfizer
Last year’s profit was only a little over 200 million US dollars.”
"And you actually asked for the purchase of cars worth 27 million U.S. dollars as well as spare engines, tires, parts, etc. on the manifest. Mr. Yang, do you know what a truck worth 27 million U.S. dollars is? A Wanguo brand
At this price, you can buy 10,000 trucks with a load of three tons."
"God, what do you need so many trucks for? You know, your national government's huge army is not equipped with so many trucks. Even your opponent, the Japanese army, does not have so many trucks now. And forgive me.
Frankly speaking, do you have the ability to raise enough drivers and gasoline?"
"In this way, we can help you get half of the number of cars. Five thousand trucks, as well as the required spare parts, tires, and spare engines. For the remaining parts, we can add the high-horsepower tractors and combine harvesters you need.
quantity."
"As for the C-46 and C-47 transport aircraft you need, we can also find a way to get them for you in the name of civil aviation. But for the rest, I'm sorry, we don't have the ability, nor do we have enough funds to meet your needs.
Yang, you must understand our predicament."
"Especially this P-39 fighter production line involves the U.S. government's control over arms exports. The U.S. government has very strict controls in this regard. As a non-governmental organization and military, your purchase request will not be approved by the U.S. government.
, and we don’t have such huge financial resources.
"There is also a complete set of equipment required by this steelmaking plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons of steel. We do not have the ability to satisfy you. Yang, you must know that this involves issues with the current laws enacted by the US government. As a large company
As a company, it is impossible for us to violate the law."
Regarding James' answer, Yang Zhen shook his head very dissatisfied and said: "Mr. James, let's not say whether the US government will approve the export of these materials. Let's do the economic calculation first. I want you to see these things clearly.
I don’t want brand-new equipment. In the past few years, the U.S. economy has been depressed, and many factories have gone bankrupt.”
"Even now, the U.S. economy has begun to recover. However, Europe, your original largest market, has fallen into war, and the original exporting countries have either been occupied or have fallen into war, and the export situation is still weak. The economy cannot suddenly
Then it will recover.”
"You can't get brand-new equipment, and we can't afford to wait. If you acquire some bankrupt companies that have the equipment we need, I think you will save a lot of US$300 million. And you can also get some land for nothing, right?
For you, this can be said to be a matter of killing two birds with one stone."
"As for how you negotiate with those bankrupt business owners, that is your business. But I hope that since these equipment are second-hand, they should be converted into second-hand prices in accordance with international trade rules. But you can pay for the freight.
Deduct it from the US$300 million according to actual needs.
"Mr. James, and everyone here, please rest assured that we will not accept your product-for-funds plan under any circumstances. Because we have mass-produced these two penicillin and streptomycin ourselves, and we will provide you with products every year."
We have neither need nor interest in the fifty million U.S. dollars of goods provided. We are only interested in the supplies we need."
"As for how to deal with the U.S. government, I know everyone here has their own ideas. The U.S. government is elected by the voters, and it will not reject all the requests of the voters, right? Those in Congress who receive your subsidies,
Even the congressmen who were directly sent to Congress by you, at your request, should not take money and do nothing."
"And this huge amount of money was spent on purchasing equipment and materials for the United States. In other words, this money went around in circles and did not leave the pockets of the Americans. Although this 300 million U.S. dollars is an astronomical figure for us,
Figures, but for the U.S. economy that has not yet completely emerged from the economic depression, it will also be a big boost, right? As long as you operate it properly, I don’t think the U.S. government will refuse such a large order.
"
At this point, Yang Zhen paused and said: "Mr. James, and everyone here, you may think that our technology is too expensive. But as a pharmaceutical company, you should understand the huge market here. Penicillin is very important for controlling the battlefield.
It has a miraculous effect on the death of wounded soldiers due to infection. Now the world is in the flames of war, which means that for you, almost the entire world now needs your products."
"And streptomycin is very effective in treating various forms of tuberculosis. How many people in the world die of tuberculosis every year can be traced alone. I think I know it very well. If I remember correctly, you in the United States
There are not a few people who have died of tuberculosis. If nothing else, it seems that the Dodge brothers, the founders of the Dodge Motor Company, died of tuberculosis. I think, in the face of the vast market, the huge profits can be imagined.
"
"If there weren't considerable profits, you wouldn't brave the war and come all the way here? To put it bluntly, the reason why you brave the war and come to the northeast is because you can see the amazing profits here. James
Sir, as well as everyone here, I don’t think any of you are willing to be a philanthropist. And no one is willing to come all the way to the battlefield to drink tea when our army is fighting a fierce battle with the Japanese army, right?"
"I believe in your sincerity in reaching this deal, but we also hope that you can be more realistic. Again, we will not act as second-rate dealers for you, let alone trade our own principles. It is said that the United States and Britain are
Allies, as far as I know, the British are not incapable of purchasing these technologies."
"The British have not taken action. Firstly, they are asking for help from you now, and secondly, considering the traditional friendship between you. With the Americans, I am afraid the British will not go empty-handed. If the negotiations between us fail, I think
The British are still willing to get involved."
"There are also Germans and Swiss people. We still recognize the strength of Bayer and Roche. It was just because of the interests of anti-fascist factors around the world that we did not choose them as negotiation partners. If we cannot reach an agreement,
Agreement, if we are willing to re-select the negotiating partner. I think let alone 500 million US dollars, the total price is 100 million pounds. Even if it is higher, they are very willing to negotiate with us."
"Well, it's three o'clock in the afternoon now, and there are still three hours before dinner time. You can carefully consider whether you can or have the ability to meet our needs based on the supplies we need. After dinner, we will
Negotiations will continue.”
After saying that, Yang Zhen stood up, put on his general hat and turned to Li Yanping and Yuan Zhiruo: "Political Commissar, Xiao Yuan, let's go. As for this, I will leave it to a few gentlemen to have a good discussion. Let's go back and wait for their good news.
Tell the waiters outside not to be lazy and to entertain you properly."
