Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Understanding this, we were prepared to accept non-USD payments from the outset.

Baba Yang's diplomatic ambassador said with a guilty look on his face: "We don't have enough foreign exchange in our country to pay this amount."

He kept looking at the multiple-barrel cluster bomb launcher, his eyes full of desire, but he knew that he was currently unable to pay the money.

At this time, Su Chen had already thought of a countermeasure.

He explained to the ambassador: “The mineral resources that you Babayang currently have can be used as soft currency exchange or as assets to secure loans.”

This solution deeply touched Baba Yang's diplomatic ambassador.

Not only was Su Chen willing to sell them the weapons and equipment they needed, he even proposed the possibility of exchanging unpopular minerals for funds.

Under the current circumstances, this is like warm sunshine in winter for them.

Therefore, Babayang's diplomatic ambassador shook Su Chen's hand with great emotion.

He said gratefully: "You are a truly good person. These minerals are of little value to us, but you are not only willing to sell us weapons, but you even help us solve our funding problems."

The ambassador was very pleased with Su Chen's actions; not only his help in the major matter of selling weapons, but also his thoughtful consideration in solving the economic difficulties of the Baba Sheep Country was beyond his expectations.

In the country of Baba Sheep, many mineral resources are ignored, mainly because there is no hope of exporting them - there is no shortage of these ores in the outside world, and even in the domestic market, there are many companies operating mineral businesses.

Although these minerals are extremely valuable, they are ignored in Baba Sheep Country like waste. However, Su Chen is very interested in purchasing these so-called "wastes", which makes the Baba Sheep Country diplomatic envoy who is responsible for contacting him feel surprised and moved.

Suchen made a lot of money in this transaction, and what was especially important was that he successfully adopted RMB as the settlement currency in the international market for the first time. This was a very bold and avant-garde move at the time, as most international trade was still denominated in US dollars, and few companies dared to challenge this situation.

This breakthrough achievement makes it possible for Suchen's name to not only have a place in economics textbooks, but may even appear in elementary school Chinese textbooks, becoming a symbol of China's important step forward in economic development.

In Babayang's view, the idle and unopened mines in their country are just a huge burden that cannot be converted into cash. But if these resources can be brought back to the country and further processed and refined, their potential is undoubtedly huge. Since Suchen did not specify which types of minerals to purchase, this deal is particularly valuable for both parties.

After a preliminary discussion at the test range, the two men went to the side to discuss the specific amount of mineral purchases in further detail. At the same time, another group of people - some personnel led by Li Shengtian - were surrounded and watched by soldiers at the military base.

The rain-increasing bomb technology launched by Li Shengtian's team attracted many people's attention. This is not only because they look very practical, but more importantly, this equipment may have potential tactical value. Faced with such a scene, Li Shengtian, as a novice, was a little nervous and incoherent.

The military commander who was watching on the side looked at the scene, stroking his chin gently, thinking in his mind how to obtain relevant information through other channels without having to rely on Su Chen.

Because Su Chen was so shrewd, even the information his subordinates inadvertently revealed could be very valuable. As for the affairs between the Foreign Minister and Su Chen, who were having a private conversation, the commander thought it was inappropriate to interfere too much. The purpose of the Foreign Minister's visit was to purchase advanced weapon systems, and the military introduction had been completed, so the subsequent negotiations should naturally be left to professional businessmen.

In the past cooperation, whether it was Shar ** or the previous transactions with important customers such as Mr. Carter, it proved that Suchen had the ability to sell low-cost products at a very high premium. His wisdom in understanding the market and responding flexibly was the capital for him to become a business giant.

Because of this, the senior military generals felt very comfortable with Suchen's private talks. When Suchen accompanied the Foreign Minister into a rest corridor in the military base, and the two sat down to discuss the price of the multi-barrel cluster artillery launcher again, the situation became clearer.

"Each multiple rocket launcher costs about $10, which is roughly equivalent to 70 RMB if it is settled in RMB." After Suchen proposed the price, Foreign Minister Babayang seemed quite surprised. He realized that Suchen's offer was extremely favorable, which was far lower than the cost of importing from other countries, even considering whether it could be purchased. This made him more grateful and satisfied with the upcoming cooperation.

The diplomatic envoys were extremely grateful that Su Chen was willing to accept the mines. What was even more unexpected was that the price of the weapons was also extremely affordable.

Therefore, the diplomatic envoy had no objection to such an offer and nodded, "The price is indeed fair."

"Don't rush to agree." Su Chen added, "In addition to the car, we will also give you a batch of small **. But please note that after this batch of ** is used up, you will need to purchase it again from us. It will no longer be provided for free."

Su Chen's words caught the diplomatic envoy off guard. He thought he only had to pay for the vehicle, but he never thought he could get an extra supply of **. For Su Chen, ** as consumables was actually the main source of profit, and the vehicle was just a small profit.

The act of giving away ** this time is also to encourage Baba Sheep Country to continue to buy ** from them in the future, but both parties are aware of this.

The diplomatic envoy of Baba Sheep Country did not mind Su Chen's attitude at all, because he understood that it would be almost impossible to buy this kind of rain-inducing bomb even in other places, and he had originally planned to purchase it from Su Chen for a long time.

Therefore, Su Chen's move actually gave Baba Sheep Country a very big discount. The diplomatic envoy imagined the scene in the future when these trucks lined up and fired at the White Elephant Country. When he thought of this, his heart was filled with joy.

Afterwards, the diplomatic envoy naturally agreed: "Okay, we agree to sign the contract. Shall we sign it now?" Then, Su Chen instructed Assistant Zhang beside him to present the contract that had been prepared long ago.

Since the negotiations began, Assistant Zhang has been observing quietly from the side.

Since they were far away from the rain, they found a place with an eave to take shelter from the rain. Assistant Zhang handed the intact contract to the two of them.

The diplomatic envoys were deeply moved to see that the text on the contract was thoughtfully translated into the Baba language.

In order to ensure that the other party could understand the contents of the contract, when Su Chen learned that the envoy would come, he translated the relevant content himself overnight and deliberately converted it into a language that the other party could understand.

This attentiveness greatly deepened the diplomatic envoy's favorable impression of Su Chen. After briefly reviewing the main terms of the contract, the diplomatic envoy immediately signed to show his approval.

Su Chen's consideration was indeed thoughtful, which also strengthened the diplomatic envoys' trust in him, believing that this businessman would never betray them.

When Su Chen also solemnly signed the contract, the two completed the exchange of the agreement. This marked that the agreement had officially come into effect, and the diplomatic envoy smiled. He had thought that this mission was full of challenges, and even had concerns during the flight, fearing that Huaxia would not help. Now it seems that not only has the mission been successfully completed, but the results have even exceeded expectations.

Su Chen was also in a good mood, knowing that this move had brought a lot of income to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Although the multi-tube cluster launcher and the ** had just come out, it had always been his plan to expand the factory's production. Now that there were more orders, it was the right time to expand the factory's scale.

For Su Chen, this transaction was undoubtedly a win-win situation, and his strategy was successful again.

In Babayang's opinion, the launch vehicle and the rain-inducing bomb are extremely complex equipment, but in fact, the cost of these devices is not high, which makes Su Chen's profit margin as high as dozens of times. It seems that if you want to make money, you still have to rely on sales technology.

Su Chen smiled and bumped cheeks with the visiting Babayang diplomatic ambassador. Both parties felt that they were the biggest winners in this deal.

After a pleasant conversation, Su Chen proposed to the ambassador: "Sir, it is almost noon now. How about letting me host you and treat you to a delicious meal?"

He thought that this would not only leave a good impression on the other party, but also promote the relationship between the two countries. Although Baba Yang was not rich, he could always afford the money for this meal.

This move not only allowed Suchen to add another distinguished customer to the Shanfang Hotel, but also faced with such an invitation, Babayang diplomatic ambassador was also very happy to accept it. The contract with the Red Star Steel Plant had just been signed, which also made him happy, and his interest in Central Plains cuisine far exceeded his desire to return to Babayang.

Therefore, he readily agreed: "Of course, thank you for your help."

Noticing that the ambassador's Chinese was a little unnatural, Suchen responded gently in the ambassador's language: "You can use your native language, I can understand."

This move obviously made the other party feel a lot more relaxed, because he obviously had a limited grasp of Chinese, and he felt a little pressure to speak Chinese in such a formal occasion. But out of politeness, the ambassador still reluctantly maintained the attitude of communicating in Chinese until this time.

With the signing of the contract, the distance between the two seemed to have shortened a little, so the diplomatic ambassador no longer insisted on using unproficient Mandarin, but continued to communicate in a more confident language.

"Mr. Su, thank you so much for your help. You are not only our partner, but also our friend." Babayang's diplomatic ambassador expressed his gratitude to Su Chen in a friendly manner.

The two of them walked and chatted for a while, and when the sky cleared, they got up together and left the experimental site.

At this time, the military officials decided not to disturb them, but to talk to Li Shengtian and others, trying to learn more internal information. Although he was skeptical about Su Chen's words, he still gave him full trust in what he did. Therefore, he was very interested in how the research team behind the rain bomb was successfully formed?
