Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

"I hope we can be sincere with each other. What we want is your country's most advanced missile.

Instead of using some outdated, obsolete models to perfunctorily deal with us.”

Translator Zheng felt somewhat gloating.

Chen Changan said indifferently.

"What do you mean by backward? Can a missile with a range of 300 kilometers be considered backward?

If it is a backward thing, why are there still many countries that cannot produce it themselves?

Of course I am not saying that your country's manufacturing industry is backward.

I just want to state a fact.

Of course, it's understandable that you want better things after spending money.

Well, I'll be sincere and tell you something.

We don’t sell the best weapons, but we can sell the weapons.

It can definitely exceed 500 kilometers. How about that? Is it sincere enough?

I hope you can show some sincerity, so that we can continue the discussion."

Translator Zheng knows exactly what is going on.

The expression on Chen Changan's face at this moment became extremely complicated.

At this time he seemed to understand what Chen Changan meant.

Don't tell the other party your cards.

Even if it is one's own country's most advanced weapons sold to the other party.

I also need to let the other party know that I actually have better weapons, but these weapons are not for sale.

Instead of taking out your best weapon right from the start and showing all your cards to the opponent.

But Chen Changan's actions are very much like those of a capitalist.

Coupled with the smile that Chen Changan kept on his face throughout the whole process, translator Zheng really couldn't like it.

Even though he knew that Chen Changan was keeping a secret for the country.

For the benefit of the country, but I just don't like him like this.

Chen Changan didn't care about what Zheng the translator thought at all.

No one is perfect, and no one can be liked by everyone.

Chen Changan does things only with a clear conscience.

“If it is a missile with a range of no less than 600 kilometers, we decided to buy 20 first.

But we have to see the real thing first, and also see the effect of the test firing.

As for the subsequent procurement plan, it will have to wait until later to be decided based on the international situation and the war situation.”

Chen Changan nodded, the request was reasonable.

Even if you spend money to buy a car, you should test drive it, right?

"Sure, but you have to pay for the missile we're testing.

Each missile is not cheap, and if our test launch succeeds, you may not want it anymore."

"No problem, we'll pay for the test launch.

I just don’t know how much it costs in your country?”

At this time, Chen Changan was in a dilemma.

He doesn't know the price of this missile.

When he came to negotiate, no one told him how much a missile cost.

If this were less and he didn't need anyone else, Chen Changan would regret it to death.

But I didn't dare shout too loudly, in case I scared them away.

Although the wealthy were rich, they were not yet at the level of later generations where they did not care about money and just bought things.

Chen Changan made a rough estimate himself, based on the current consumption level of one missile.

The cost price is estimated to be around one million.

Of course, this does not include R&D costs. If R&D costs are included, the price will be more than this.

At this time, Chen Changan thought of a piece of news that was circulated in later generations.

It was also a big customer who came to our country to buy missiles, and I immediately thought of the bold operations at that time.

So Chen Changan stretched out a finger.

Chen Changan thought that if he made one million, he would not lose anything, but if he made ten million, he would make a lot of money. One hundred million.

Forget it, they are not stupid, they just have a lot of money. What era is this? One hundred million to buy a 600-kilometer missile.

"Ten million is a bit expensive. But we may have more cooperation in the future.

We have no problem with the price, so when can we go and see the test launch?"

Chen Changan had never seen anyone so quick to buy things.

This is not one thousand yuan, but ten million yuan.

Could it be that the news that was spread to later generations was true?

Chen Changan said to translator Zheng.

"Did you understand the translation? Ten million per piece. Don't make a mistake about the price."

Chen Changan doesn't understand Arabic, but he knows some English.

He knows that the pronunciation of mathematics in English is different from that in Chinese.

Many people in later generations who are very good at English often have problems translating numbers into English.

After hearing what Chen Changan said, translator Zheng was also a little worried.

Even a mistake in one decimal point in this number would be a catastrophic accident.

Translator Zheng confirmed with the big clients once again, and the translators behind him also listened very carefully.

Big investors also know the importance of numbers, so they speak slowly on purpose.

"Yes, it is ten million."

Chen Changan looked at the translators behind him and saw them all nodding.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least I could get the job done with 10 million.

Wait, that's right, 10 million RMB and 10 million US dollars are not the same thing.

He quickly asked translator Zheng.

"What's the unit? US dollars or RMB?"

Translator Zheng was also made very nervous by Chen Changan.

In this era when monthly wages are only a few dozen yuan, 10 million is a huge number.

Twenty of them would cost two hundred million.

The big investor only said 10 million, and did not say whether it was US dollars. I think it is most likely US dollars.

Translator Zheng asked again hurriedly.

"Dollar"

Not only Chen Changan, but also the translators and leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nearby, all gasped.

After all, Chen Changan came from the future.

My psychological endurance is still much stronger than theirs.

Afraid of being discovered by the big guys.

"What's with that expression on your face? Have you never seen money? Have you never learned how to manage your facial expressions?

If things go wrong, you will be sinners of the country."

We also have to thank this era for the fact that not many foreigners can speak Chinese.

If there is anyone among the negotiators of the big client who knows Chinese, the secret will be exposed.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted immediately after being reminded by Chen Changan.

He scolded in a low voice, "Pay attention, everyone. If you affect the negotiations, none of you will have an easy life."

"Okay, wait a moment, regarding the test firing.

I need to discuss the specific location and time with my colleagues.

It won’t be long, I’ll be right back.”

As Chen Changan left, the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a group of translators followed Chen Changan.

At this time, Chen Changan's performance in the negotiations had already impressed them.

Even Zheng the translator standing by didn't like Chen Changan.

But he also admired Chen Changan's performance.

Not only did it not expose the country's cards, it also earned so much money for the country.

And this price was proposed by the big customers themselves.

Everyone returned to the meeting room.

All the leaders in the conference room did not leave, and were waiting for Chen Changan's initial negotiation results.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the top leader was also smoking a cigarette.

Just as Chen Changan pushed open the door and walked into the meeting room, the leader couldn't wait to ask.

"How was the conversation?"

Chen Changan I said with high spirits.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate"
