Chapter 262 The world is crazy(1/2)
In such occasions, it is a seller's market, and the buyer has no say at all. Although he is full of resentment, he can only watch the capitalist sit down openly.
"No matter how much we buy, you can negotiate the business with Mr. Lin first. After you reach an oral agreement, it will be too late to talk to us.
Moreover, during your negotiations, we have plenty of time to consider your quotations and various payment methods." After all, it is a military unit, and there are still people who always maintain the principle of confidentiality. Although they have no choice but to watch Lin Ping sit down, Lin Ping's appearance is not completely a bad thing.
With Lin Ping blocking the cannon fodder in front, don't let everyone see what price Sikorsky can offer.
As a well-known weapon supplier, Sikorsky has long been accustomed to such tricks on the negotiating table.
Since the other party has made a regression and chose to let Lin Ping sit on the negotiating table, there is no need to be aggressive as a company representative.
Anyway, it’s the same with anyone, and the company’s reserve price is stuck there. No matter what the other party’s identity is, it is impossible to surpass this reserve price.
"Your company has raised a procurement demand and hopes to purchase our Black Hawk helicopter converted into a forest firefighting helicopter. Our company said that this helicopter is fully capable of applying this purpose. I just don't know how many aircraft does Mr. Lin's company want to purchase?" The negotiator of Sikorsky raised this question in front of everyone.
Lin Ping didn't expect that he had just sat down and became the protagonist at the negotiating table. In desperation, he had to sit up straight, looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and slowly stretched out a finger.
"1?" The representative of Xike Company felt that he was being fooled.
But it can be understood if you think about it. Does a fire-fighting helicopter need to buy a squadron?
Besides, this is a civil purpose and a private capital company, and it is not a large-scale installation. It is enough to buy one such company.
"If you only buy one, including personnel training, later maintenance equipment, and the cost of modifying it for firefighting purposes, the total amount is 8 million US dollars!" Sikorsky's negotiator gave a high price without thinking.
For eight million US dollars, if you buy ordinary helicopters, you can buy as many as four even if you buy those private luxury helicopters.
If you just use it as a tool without considering any comfort, the eight million dollars can almost buy six to seven on the current market.
Such a huge gap made the military negotiators present stunned.
After all, when purchasing this aircraft, various domestic relevant departments had already found out in detail internationally, including the prices of all aircraft.
At this moment, although most of the people here do not like this capitalist.
But after all, everyone has the same bloodline, and although Lin Ping, as a capitalist, bought it for his country to use it.
For a time, many people whispered to each other, and without exception, everyone thought it was ridiculously expensive.
"Sorry, although we hope your company will negotiate with Mr. Lin Ping first, we think this price is too high.
Your country's f16 fighter jets are only nine million US dollars each. If we talk about this price, I think it will be difficult for us to accept it. This is a big difference from the price we imagined!" Obviously, the price of a Black Hawk helicopter is close to that of a fighter jet, which is unacceptable to any buyer!
"This Mr. Lin will naturally have a higher cost when purchasing only one. After all, the maintenance and after-sales and personnel training of one aircraft are almost the same as the maintenance and after-sales and personnel training of twenty aircraft.
Especially the accessories and tool kits used for repairing aircraft, these are essential items. If you buy one or twenty, it is the same. After all, the plane you buy must be repaired and maintained, and the tools used for every repair and maintenance must be purchased!
If Mr. Lin could buy twenty, the unit price of the Black Hawk helicopter would naturally be lowered." The people of Sikorsky blamed Lin Ping for the high price.
"Even so, your price is a big deal..." The military people still want to express their attitude on the price.
After all, this is related to one's own interests. If you don't say anything at this time, wouldn't you have acquiesced to such a price?
When negotiating with me, the other party will also offer such a high price, and I don’t have that much foreign exchange to pay.
However, before the military finished speaking, Lin Ping shook his finger and said, "When will I tell you to buy one? I want to buy one, and how do you ask my company to arrange a job for one plane!
You just said that because I bought a small quantity, it is expensive. Now I buy a hundred aircraft. What price code will your company offer me?"
After Lin Ping finished speaking, he looked at the other person with anticipation.
However, without waiting for the people from Sikorsky to express their opinions, the military personnel had strange expressions and ferocious expressions.
This is so surprising, it will always exceed everyone's imagination.
A huge armed force can't afford so many planes.
A small private company actually purchased a lot of money beyond the military's tolerance.
Moreover, what is even more unimaginable is.
He is a private company, why do he need so many Black Hawk helicopters?
Even if it is used for firefighting, there is no need for such quantity?
Because the news was too amazing, everyone looked at Lin Ping like a monster.
The people at Sikorsky were also extremely surprised, and they could not imagine what a private company would do to buy so many planes.
However, after only two or three seconds, I realized that private companies certainly could not take so many planes.
After all, it’s not just a way to pay for the military as a funder!
No wonder after just putting forward the price, he immediately blushed and argued with himself as if his interests were lost.
It seems that this matter is an iron-like fact. Lin Ping is simply a rich man who pays the bill.
The two sides must have reached some agreement that this real estate developer company will definitely be allowed to obtain a lot of land in the mainland, so they placed so many helicopters in one go.
Thinking of this, it seems that Sikorsky had already seen the whole story of the whole thing, so he said with a smile: "Our company is willing to give the best price, each aircraft costs 6.5 million US dollars. If one hundred aircraft is purchased, we will provide free training for personnel, including aircraft maintenance engineers. If your company still insists on fire modifications to the aircraft, the company is willing to modify the aircraft at the lowest price."
At this moment, Sikorsky gave the best kindness they believed.
However, this kindness is not satisfied with Lin Ping, and the free training of personnel is a necessary supporting service.
Although in the era of the big cyber explosion, for countries with weak national strength and those areas that are ripped off, the personnel training required to purchase fighter jets really requires money.
For buyers like Huaxia, personnel training must be included in the price of the aircraft.
Although I know that the wool comes from sheep, I charge it again outside the price of the plane, which is really unbearable.
In addition to the free training of personnel, Lin Ping wanted to buy 100 aircraft at one time to free after-sales repair packages, and even gave away some key spare parts for free.
"Our company hopes that the price of the aircraft is 6 million US dollars, and that all personnel training is completed in China and is free. Also, the maintenance tools used by these 100 aircraft must be provided to me for free.
In addition, I also need to give me some reserves of key components. As for the fire-fighting modification of the aircraft, after buying it, we will find a manufacturer in China to assist in completing it. After all, for our company, what we need is a fire-fighting method of hoisting and sprinkling. The task and strength of the modification are not high, so this task will not bother your company." Lin Ping proposed the price he wanted to give.
At this moment, the military personnel were a little stunned.
"This kid really wants to buy a hundred aircraft? This is not a child buying toys. Why do he want so many planes?" Without caring about the presence of a foreigner, the two pilots quietly whispered to each other.
"We don't have to worry about this. Haven't you seen so many people holding the power of purchasing? The missions of the two of us have been completed. The performance of this aircraft is not to be said. If it is used to patrol mountains or lift water to extinguish fires, it is really suitable. At least it is stronger and more durable than civilian helicopters, and the load capacity will be larger if it is lifted." One of the pilots said in a low voice.
And just as the two were whispering, the foreigners of Sikorsky Company were not idle either.
Although it is a bit unacceptable to Lin Ping cutting the price to their bottom line in one go, after all, for them, the negotiations have just begun, so why did Lin Ping cutting the price to their bottom line in one go?
The bottom line price of this six million is a decision made by the company's board of directors.
And this price is also a rare low price in previous sales.
The reason why such low prices are entirely to take care of the Chinese military, after all, the two countries are in a honeymoon period.
For such a purchase, both parties are happy to see it at this stage.
Only with deeper cooperation can the relationship between the two parties appear to be extraordinary.
Only by making the relationship between the two sides seem less ordinary can it be deterrent to the Mao Bear Empire.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable, an order of 100 helicopters is an absolute big order at any time.
"Our company can accept this price, and we can sign a contract at any time if possible." After all, it is a large order of 100 aircraft. The sooner the contract is signed, it is a great thing for both the company and himself.
After winning such a large order, you will definitely receive corresponding rewards after returning to the company.
"What is your company's current production capacity? When will we deliver these 100 aircraft?" Lin Ping knew that the honeymoon period of both parties only lasted for a few years. If the delivery cannot be completed within these few years, I am afraid that we should not count on subsequent orders.
As long as the Mao Bear Empire is in a state of disintegration, the honeymoon between the other side of the ocean and China will be less important.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Mao Bear Empire that this honeymoon period has come into history.
As the saying goes, the birds are hidden all bows, this is the reason.
Lin Ping knew that China is still negotiating another part of military aircraft procurement with the other side of the ocean.
This military aircraft is the famous F14 Panda.
During the honeymoon period, the other side of the ocean learned that China wanted to update its fighter hangar and hoped to get some third-generation advanced fighter jets.
Since the two sides were on the honeymoon period, someone was sent to negotiate on the other side of the ocean.
For China, what China wants is a complete set of technology.
I hope to introduce the entire production line of Panda and hope to produce it on its own in the country.
But for Ying Jiang, they just want to go to the door to do business and sell a batch of planes. They don’t want to sell the entire production line to Huaxia. After all, for them, the honeymoon period with Huaxia is just to restrain the Maobei Empire.
If China has mastered such an excellent fighter production line, it will be a threat to them in the future.
In addition, the price was not agreed upon at that time, and the main reason was that China had no money, so it was left unresolved after a long delay.
If the entire production line is willing to sell across the ocean, Lin Ping thinks he can consider buying it.
At worst, seven or eight years later, I will buy a Su27 production line and go back to the old path of history.
However, if you have the production lines of two fighter jets in your hands, whether it is to quickly increase your experience or increase your strength, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
"Our production capacity is a state secret, and it is not convenient to disclose it, but Mr. Lin is relieved that all delivery tasks can be completed within twelve months.
And we can start at any time when it comes to personnel training.” The negotiator said very confidently.
Hearing his words, the military personnel had already roughly estimated their approximate production capacity in their hearts.
If more than thirty Black Hawk helicopters cannot be produced in a month, such orders will not dare to speak wildly.
