Chapter 973 Do you dare to agree?

Igor Leonidovic left in a hurry, and he could not wait to report the news to Shushkevic, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Belarus.

Sergei Kobiakov excitedly held Chen Geng's hand and said he would not let go. The old man was in his 50s, but he was crying at this moment, no different from the baby during confinement period: "Mr. Chen, what you said is true? Are you really willing to add an order for 50 mine vehicles to us? When can we sign a contract..."

Chen Geng was amused by an old man who was about the same age as his father, holding his sleeves: "Mr. Sergei, since I said that, it must be true, but the premise is that the Supreme Soviet of Belarus is willing to transfer the entire vehicle and the complete set of technology and drawings of the maz-7907 to us, and there is also the cooperation plan for the aircraft tractor that our Assistant Dong talked with you before..."

"No problem! No problem!" Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Sergei Kobiakov said incoherently: "Airplane tractor? I have no objection. We can sign a contract now and we transfer the relevant technology to you for free; as for maz-7907, who dares to disagree, I will take tens of thousands of workers from our factory to his house for dinner!"

For this order, Sergei Kobiakov really fought hard. If he didn't fight, he wouldn't be able to do it. Tens of thousands of workers in the entire Belarusian automobile manufacturing plant were waiting for dinner.

……………………………………………………………………

Taking advantage of the time before supper, Chen Geng had a brief conversation with Alexander Grigorievich Lukashenko.

The meeting was quite pleasant. The reason why smart people are smart people is that they know how to handle their relationship with different people. This is what Lukashenko is. He is very clear about his desire for Runhua Industrial, so when facing Chen Geng, he put his attitude very low. For Lukashenko, as one of the countless representatives of the Supreme Soviet people, it is already a great fortune to see Chen Geng and get this opportunity to interview Chen Geng.

Chen Geng was not too polite to the other party. Looking at Lukashenko, Chen Geng said slowly: "Mr. Lukashenko, we come to Belarus and hope to make friends with the Belarusian people, so you see that in many aspects, we are very restrained and do not deliberately take advantage of the Belarusian people."

"Yes." Lukashenko nodded.

Even with a picky look, Lukashenko had to admit that Runhua Industrial performed very well. Although the price of these more than 100 mining vehicles for the Belarusian automobile manufacturing plant is far lower than the market price, no one can deny that Runhua Industrial’s price is much higher than the current “market price”. Not to mention that the price is three times higher than the quotation of those European and American mining groups. Even if it is only 50% higher than the insured price of mining groups in Europe and the United States, Belarus has no choice, let alone that they also compensate Belarus in disguise in terms of material prices. In this era, what Runhua Industrial did is simply a living Lei Feng.

As for the procurement contract he is preparing now, Lukashenko no longer knows what to say.

Staring at Lukashenko, Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "I know what you want, and I am willing to help you go further in Belarusian politics as much as possible, but what can you repay me?"

Lukashenko is far less arrogant than the president of a country a few years later. On the contrary, facing Chen Geng, the people's representative knew very well that the person in front of him was the greatest noble person he had met. Whether he could take this opportunity to continue to move up in Belarusian politics depends entirely on whether the noble person is willing to support him, so he should go as far as he is reserved and proud. He said to Chen Geng humbly: "Mr. Chen, thank you very much for your generosity. As long as your actions do not harm the fundamental interests of the Belarusian people, you are Belarus' best friend, and the doors of all industries in Belarus will be open to you."

"This is a bit boring," Chen Geng smiled and shook his head: "Belarus is now implementing comprehensive privatization and shock therapy. Even if you don't allow it, is there any industry in Belarus that is not allowed to enter in which Runhua Industrial?"

Lukashenko was suffocated.

He then realized that Chen Geng was right at all. Like Russia, Belarus is also implementing "shock therapy" and comprehensive privatization. Except for a few industries that are related to the life and death of the country, the CIS countries have opened up almost all industries to Western enterprises and capital groups. For Runhua Industrial, if they plan to enter an industry, it is really not difficult. The existing business of Runhua Industrial is too large, and they are afraid that they have no plans to enter these industries at all.

This is embarrassing.

Lukashenko counted with his fingers and was shocked to find that there were not many bargaining chips that he could use to exchange with Chen Geng... This is a modest statement, but the real statement is that there is no such thing as it is.

what to do?

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Geng reached out and patted Lukashenko on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, think about it slowly first, and then come to see me when I think about it."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

This time, the reaction speed of the highest Belarusian Soviet was very fast. That night, Igor Leonidovic told Chen Geng that if Runhua Industrial really purchased 50 dump mining vehicles with an average load tonnage of no less than 50 tons as promised, the Supreme Soviet agreed to sell the maz-7907 prototype to Runhua Industrial with all technical information and drawings for a total price of US$10 million.

"10 million US dollars?" Chen Geng was amused by the good appetite of the Supreme Soviet of Belarus: "Let them die!"

Is the maz-7907's prototype car worth US$10 million, including all technical information and drawings?

value!

Too worth it!

If it was before the collapse of the Soviet Union, let alone US$10 million, even if it doubled several times, the Americans would not be polite. But the problem is that the Soviet Union has collapsed. Russia, which has inherited most of the Soviet legacy, is now slaughtered by the Western world. Not to mention US$10 million, no one will buy it even if it is US$1 million!

"Let them get out!" Chen Geng said bluntly: "Don't look at how much does a missile launcher of a 'Polkaan-based intercontinental missile cost in the agreement reached between Belarus and Russia?"

The "Polka Dog" intercontinental ballistic missile is the most advanced land-based intercontinental missile developed by the Soviet Union. Its range can cover the entire United States. One missile can carry multiple nuclear warheads. At the same time, each warhead has terminal maneuverability. In other words, the "Polka Dog" intercontinental ballistic missile can penetrate the missile defense network that the United States is preparing. According to the Soviets at that time, the "Polka Dog" missile is the most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile in the world in the next 20 years.

Such an advanced intercontinental ballistic missile uses a 14*12 maz-7912 missile launcher. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the agreement reached between Belarus and Russia was 1 million Belarusian rubles per vehicle. If converted into the Republic's price in 2015, it would be roughly equivalent to 12 million rmb.

A car is 12 million rmb (and you may not be sold to you if you have money). Such a more advanced maz-7912, a 24*24 maz-7907 missile launcher can buy 15 million rmb each, right? If you include the relevant technology transfer and use, technical guidance and production guidance costs, 10 million US dollars is really not expensive, not expensive at all, even if the purchasing power of 10 million US dollars at this time is no less than 100 million 20 years later.

But all this is based on normal circumstances, but can Belarus be considered a "normal situation" now?

Of course not.

So Chen Geng would not accept a quotation of $10 million in any case.

He said to Igor Leonidovic without hesitation: "Mr. Leonidovic, give me the phone number of Chairman Shushkevic and I will talk to him personally."

Igor Leonidovic subconsciously said: "This is not possible..."

"There is nothing wrong," Chen Geng said coldly: "If he doesn't want to be driven out of power by the Belarusian people, it's better to have a good talk with me."

“…”

After a silence, Igor Leonidovic finally bowed his head: "I convey your meaning to Mr. Chairman, but I do not guarantee whether he will promise you."

………………………………………

What this said actually has no meaning. After Chen Geng showed this tough signal, Shushkevich lowered his head. Half an hour later, Shushkevich's phone number came to Chen Geng's hands.

As soon as the phone was connected and after a simple greeting, Chen Geng drove his own conditions: "Mr. Chairman, including the maz-7907 prototype, all related technologies and drawings, and sent engineering and technical personnel to assist us in mastering relevant technologies and guiding production. I bid 1 million US dollars, and I think this is a very fair price."

"$1 million is too low," Shushkevich said he could not accept it: "$10 million is the lowest price, Mr. Chen, in fact, if it weren't for this special period, we would never transfer the technology of this special vehicle to you."

"Are you sure you don't agree?" Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Chairman, you have been under a lot of pressure during this period? There are already many voices asking you to step down, right?"

Shushkevich's heart trembled, but isn't that what happened? In Belarus, many people think that Shushkevich, Ukrainian President Krafchuk and Russian President Yeltsin were the culprits of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and his voice was getting louder and louder. He actually had some psychological preparation.
