Selling small motorcycles in mid-air to kick off the Southern Heavenly Gate Project?

"The AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine are way too expensive!"

Qian Huaijin frowned and spoke in a more serious tone.

"Mr. Qian, the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine are important aero engines. To get them to transfer the technology secrets, we need to make some connections at various levels."

Kazakov calmly explained.

As for whether there were any "bribes" or "kept secrets" between superiors and subordinates, there definitely were.

But we don't need that much funding.

Kazakov was clearly "hitting a bigger stick".

"Kazakov, bribing the higher-ups is no problem, but this price is unacceptable to our Dong'an International Trading Company."

How could Qian Huaijin follow the other party's ideas?

Qian Huaijin knew the prices of the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine even better than Kazakov.

We cannot compromise simply because Yan country lacks aircraft engine technology.

Kazakov set the technical price of the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine at 450 million US dollars.

Moreover, only a few units of the finished product will be provided.

According to Qian Huaijin's estimate, the technology transfer for the two aero-engines would cost a maximum of only 300 million US dollars.

Kazakov, however, directly raised the price to $150 million.

In the early stages, he even used the "US dollars" given to him by Dong'an International Trade Company to smooth things over.

Their main strategy was to "take US dollars from Dong'an International Trading Company" to expand their connections and influence.

Kazakov was able to expand his network of relationships considerably by "not giving a penny out of his pocket".

Apart from a slight danger, Kazakov would not have to bear any other costs.

How can making big money be without risk?

It may seem risk-free at first glance, but bigger risks await you later.

"Kazakov, the price of 450 million US dollars is too high. Our Dong'an International Trading Company will not accept such a price."

Who gave you the courage to set such high prices for two aircraft engines?

Next, Qian Huaijin and Kazakov continued their discussion.

The two sides continued to argue over the prices of the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine.

Neither of them showed any intention of backing down.

However, both sides maintained a tacit understanding.

That is to prevent the negotiations from breaking down.

If negotiations break down, then it will truly be a complete breakdown.

Dong'an International Trade Company wanted the technology for the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine.

What Kazakov wanted was a green dollar.

Both have the same goal.

One wants money, the other wants technology.

The negotiations over the first three days yielded no substantial progress.

Both sides are sticking to their own ideas.

……

Qian Huaijin smiled as he watched Kazakov and the others being helped into the car by staff from Dong'an International Trade Company.

The three-day negotiations appear to have made no substantial progress.

However, Qian Huaijin judged from Kazakov's various behaviors that the other party was already somewhat flustered.

Kazakov was more upset than anyone else that his two main aircraft engines were now stuck in his hands.

With two aircraft engines "stuck" in his hands, where could he find the money to pay the forces behind them, or the like-minded partners?

He had no way out.

From the very beginning, he walked a path of death and rebirth.

If he can't get out of this situation, then it's a dead end.

Kazakov's backers are not pushovers. If you have money to offer tribute, they will treat you politely; if you don't have money to offer tribute? They will not be polite at all.

Watching the car disappear from sight, Qian Huaijin said to Wang Hao beside him, "Brother Wang, you should go back and rest. I'll be troubling you for the next few days." (The following is a separate, unrelated sentence: With a flick of his finger, he instantly traveled to Chapter 110, "Qian Huaijin: Have you no shame? Asking for such a high price?")

"Okay, Mr. Qian, please feel free to call me if you need anything. I'm always available."

Wang Hao, his face slightly flushed, nodded heavily and said.

Qian Huaijin's attitude made Wang Hao feel like he was basking in a spring breeze, and he was very relaxed and approachable with her. She was very approachable and had no airs at all.

"Brother Wang, Xiao Liang will drive you back. Be careful on the road."

After Wang Hao left, Xu Haodong approached Qian Huaijin and calmly said, "President Qian, why don't you recruit Wang Hao to our Dong'an International Trading Company?"

Being able to drink alcohol is also a special skill.

Especially at their Dong'an International Trading Company, such drinking ability is quite a good fit for them.

"I want to recruit him, but Director Zhao of the Harbin Baijiu Distillery isn't so easy to agree to."

"This Factory Director Zhao is very shrewd."

It wasn't that Qian Huaijin was unwilling to recruit, but that Zhao Chengyun saw through the situation and used various benefits and personal connections to firmly control Wang Hao.

With Wang Hao at the Harbin Baijiu Distillery, Dong'an International Trade Company would purchase a batch of baijiu each time for trade with the Soviet Union.

For Harbin Baijiu Distillery, this is a sure-fire way to make money.

Giving Wang Hao even the smallest favor is enough to make him wholeheartedly continue working at the Harbin Baijiu Distillery.

The most critical problem is that Dong'an International Trade Company doesn't have a single employee who can drink a lot.

Otherwise, why would Qian Huaijin invite Wang Hao over every time?

Every time I invite someone over, I have to do them a favor.

Xu Haodong chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head.

He certainly understood Qian Huaijin's thoughts.

But there was nothing they could do; none of the employees at Dong'an International Trade Company could drink as much as Wang Hao.

Wang Hao never refuses anyone's drink; he drinks like a pro, going in and out seven times without any pressure.

Drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor) is like drinking plain water.

Xu Haodong could tell from these few drinking sessions.

If you let Xu Haodong drink like that, he'll be sent straight to the hospital after he finishes.

……

Qian Huaijin and Xu Haodong left the restaurant and returned to Dong'an International Trade Company.

They need to go back and process some documents.

They need to prepare for tomorrow's negotiations.

……

Qian Huaijin returned to his office and had just sat down when his assistant came in to report to him.

"President Qian, Chief Xue just called you and asked you to accompany the guests to a restaurant for dinner."

"The commander wants you to call him after you return."

Upon hearing this, Qian Huaijin nodded: "I understand. It's so late, you should go home now!"

"Yes, Mr. Qian!"

After his assistant left the office, Qian Huaijin picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the number.

A moment later, the call connected, and Xue Rui's hearty laughter came through the receiver.

"Grandpa Xue, you haven't rested yet?"

After the call was connected, Qian Huaijin greeted him warmly.

"I've been waiting for you!"

I didn't think you would call me tonight.

Xue Rui and others were very concerned about the negotiation progress between the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine.

Qian Huaijin briefly explained the progress of today's negotiations to Xue Rui.

"Kazakov is starting to soften his stance, but it hasn't met our requirements yet."

Qian Huaijin was very good at making judgments, especially at seizing the opponent's weaknesses to launch continuous attacks.

As for not selling?

That was never something Kazakov would have thought.

Once we agree to let Dong'an International Trading Company acquire the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine and the D-30KP-2 turbofan engine, there will be no turning back.

Kazakov has no choice but to sell, even if he doesn't want to.

A group of people behind him pushed him to do business with Dong'an International Trade Company.

So it's not Qian Huaijin who's in a hurry right now, but Kazakov.
