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

Immediately afterwards, a group of high-ranking officials from the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau were extremely enthusiastic towards Qian Huaijin, wishing they could "swallow him whole".

This person is a natural-born "negotiation expert".

If it were in my own hands, then...

Just thinking about it makes me feel so good!

But there's nothing we can do now; our own bureau chief has a firm grip on things, and no one can change that.

……

After listening to Xue Rui's report, the higher-level leaders immediately convened a high-level meeting.

The meeting focused on a massive $1.6 billion order and whether to sell J-8 fighter jets.

Hai Shan has made it clear that if Yan Guo is willing to sell J-8 fighter jets, they will directly purchase one hundred.

They will also purchase a batch of J-7, J-6, and J-5 fighter jets.

Sales exceeded $800 million.

If they were unwilling, the Persian Empire would only purchase a small number of warplanes, not in large quantities, since they still had more than 500 warplanes in their possession.

Even though the Persian Empire suffered a blitzkrieg attack that destroyed many of its fighter jets, it was still a force to be reckoned with, and it still possessed a large number of warplanes.

There is absolutely no need to worry about fighter jets in the short term.

The purchase of J-8 fighter jets was merely to replenish lost aircraft and to stockpile some fighter jets. The Persian leadership did not know how long the war would last.

……

The higher-ups were initially divided into three factions.

One faction is firmly opposed to exporting the J-8 fighter jet, even though its performance is outdated, because it is a relatively important national secret.

The other side agreed to export the J-8 fighter jet in exchange for more funds to be invested in new research and development.

The current J-8 fighter jet can only take off during the day to carry out missions, which does not meet the needs of the Yan country's air force. They need all-weather fighter jets and have the funds to start the research and development of third-generation fighter jets.

The last group remained silent, neither supporting nor opposing, watching the two groups argue.

In any case, whoever convinces whom in the end will be supported by them.

They argued all day, and neither side would give in.

The proposal to sell J-8 fighter jets was ultimately submitted.

The chief designer made the final decision.

The decision was made to export the J-8 fighter jet.

The reason is quite simple.

That is, the country is desperately short of money, the Yan Kingdom's military is desperately short of money, and the domestic military industry enterprises are desperately short of money.

Since everyone is so short of money, and there are buyers coming to purchase, there's no reason not to sell.

As for being studied?

To quote Qian Huaijin: "Can second-generation fighter jets compare to third-generation fighter jets? A generation apart is an insurmountable gap. Besides, the J-8 fighter jet isn't an all-weather fighter jet. What if they attack you at night? How would you respond?"

……

The chief designer made the final decision, and the opinions of the higher-level departments were quickly unified.

The superiors immediately relayed the idea.

Xue Rui and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation received a reply.

……

After obtaining approval from his superiors, Qian Huaijin contacted Haishan again.

When Hai Shan heard Qian Huaijin say that the J-8 fighter jet could also be sold, she was initially surprised, but quickly recovered.

The two sides then engaged in comprehensive bargaining over the price of the J-8 fighter jet.

Asking for exorbitant prices, then negotiating on the spot.

Both sides need to fight for their own interests.

The cooperation was eventually reached.

Qian Huaijin backed down, and the price of the J-8 fighter jet came down to 4.6 million US dollars per unit.

However, the Persian Empire had to purchase 150 J-8 fighter jets at once.

Furthermore, a large number of J-5, J-6, and J-7 fighter jets will also be procured.

The total sales of this batch of fighter jets reached 900 million US dollars.

After contacting senior executives in China and receiving their approval, Hai Shan signed a purchase contract with Dong An Machinery Factory.

"Hai Shan, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Director Qian, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. Your negotiation skills put me under a bit of pressure."

After signing the contract, Qian Zhizhou and Hai Shan shook hands.

This sales exceeded 2.5 billion US dollars.

This is the largest arms order ever received by Yan State.

Previously, Yan State provided military aid without compensation.

There are very few fees!

The current Yan state has shifted to paid military exports.

As a "test field" for Yan State's paid military exports, Dong'an Machinery Factory directly signed a huge order worth 2.5 billion US dollars in just over a month.

This shows that the path of arms sales is viable.

Dong'an Machinery Factory is the best example.

Dong'an Machinery Factory had only been established for a little over a month when it secured a $2.5 billion military sales order.

After Dong'an Machinery Factory reaches an agreement, it will be able to break down the order and distribute it to a number of domestic military enterprises.

……

"Hai Shan, the first batch of weapons and equipment will be loaded onto the ship in a day, and then the ship can be sailed to your Persian country."

After the contract was signed, Qian Zhizhou smiled slightly at Hai Shan and said...

He then handed over the paper recording the type and quantity of the first batch of weapons and equipment to Haishan.

Upon hearing this, Hai Shan's face instantly broke into a bright smile.

He really didn't expect Dong'an Machinery Factory to be so fast.

It's true that the first batch of weapons and equipment can be transported to the port within three days, and then loaded onto the ship.

"Haishan, our Dong'an Machinery Factory is a trustworthy company. We will complete the task on time as promised. Integrity is the most important thing in the arms business."

Qian Zhizhou patted his chest and made a promise.

"speed!"

Haishan immediately gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"Tonight, I'll have Mr. Qian accompany you to the port. I'll handle the remaining orders here. We'll arrange to ship your orders as soon as possible."

Qian Zhizhou said with a slight apology.

"No problem, Director Qian. I'll leave the rest to you. Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work!"

……

Qian Huaijin and the others watched Hai Shan and the others leave Dong'an Machinery Factory.

Tonight, Qian Huaijin will meet with Haishan and others again at the port.

At that time, the Persian Parliament will leave one person there to handle the various weapons and equipment goods from the Dong'an Machinery Factory.

……

Time flies. Qian Huaijin treated Hai Shan and the others to a meal, and after a short while to digest, they left Harbin for the nearest port.

Qian Zhizhou not only had to sort out the orders, but also had to report them to his superiors.

Furthermore, we should summarize our experience to provide support to other military enterprises that want to establish foreign trade companies.

This is a valuable experience.

If several military industrial enterprises succeed, the pressure on the Yan State military will be greatly reduced.

The cost of this trial and error is not very high.

So it's worth a try.

Even if we fail, it doesn't matter.

If you don't do it, you're bound to fail.

Taking the plunge doesn't guarantee failure.

The initiative is firmly in our own hands.

As for wanting support from higher-level departments?

It won't be very good for the next few decades.

Especially since the Yan Kingdom's military is so poor they can't even afford to eat, where would they get the support to help you develop?

It's not an irreplaceable military enterprise.

There are similar military industrial enterprises in China.

The higher authorities told all military industrial enterprises early on that they should be responsible for their own profits and losses and operate independently.
