C549 The shrewd German
C549 The shrewd German
The king of this army made a gesture of invitation, his expression was calm and unperturbed, his body exuded an incomparable confidence.
Joseph strided towards the huge intelligent machine tool. Other than surprise, there was only surprise in his eyes.
With Phillip in the lead, the people from German side also walked in, and started discussing softly. The shock brought about by the colossal machine tool was obvious.
Joseph circled around the Big Dipper's comprehensive intelligence machine tool. The shock in his eyes not only did not decrease, it had become more and more intense. He was a world-class expert in this field. Just based on some details that could be seen with the naked eye, he was sure that this gigantic and comprehensive intelligent machine tool was the most advanced comprehensive intelligent machine tool he had ever seen. No such machine tool in the United States, no such machine tool in Germany, no such machine tool in the world!
"Joseph, what do you think?" Phillip moved closer to Joseph and whispered.
"This ?" Joseph said excitedly: "It's a miracle."
This short evaluation stunned everyone in German side, including Phillip.
"But, I don't believe that the Grand China is able to create such a comprehensive intelligent machine tool." Joseph said again.
In the west, especially in Europe and the United States, the prejudice towards Grand China and even towards Chinese was deeply rooted. It was difficult to change it just because of an intelligent machine tool. Sometimes, even in the face of the truth, they would selectively ignore it, unwilling to admit it.
At this time, Xia Lei lightly touched Anina's arm, and said to her: "Anina, go operate it, let them see."
"Yes." Anina replied obediently, and then walked towards the Big Dipper's comprehensive intelligence machine tool.
She had only typed in the instructions on the middle control computer. In a short two to three minutes, more than a dozen precision processing equipment had been processed. These precision processing tools are all the key parts of the shock absorbing system used to produce blast assault rifle.
Joseph could not wait to inspect and measure those parts, but when he was done, he stood there stunned, unable to say a single word.
"How is it?" Phillip urgently wanted to know Joseph's evaluation.
Joseph came back to his senses, "This is the highest precision processing tool I have ever seen, I can't believe that the parts produced by this machine tool are not wrong at all." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Mr. Phillip, this is the most advanced intelligent machine tool I have ever seen. "It can't be made."
The current Joseph was like a warrior who had been defeated in a competition arena. He did not have honor, nor did he have confidence. Just a moment ago, he was still suspicious of Xia Lei stealing his technique, but now, he was conquered by Xia Lei.
"Mr. Joseph, what techniques do you think we should use to exchange with them?" Phillip's voice was very soft.
Joseph said in a low voice: "I have to satisfy their requirements, we must bring back the technology used in this comprehensive intelligent machine tool. If we had such an integrated intelligent machine tool, our manufacturing would be stronger than it is now. Some of the plans that cannot be realized now could come true. "
"Are you sure?"
"I swear, I'm sure."
"Then I know what to do." Phillip lowered his voice, "I will negotiate with them later. You can speak, but if you want to say that their machine tools are not that good. We will exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit. "
"I know what you mean. I know what to say." Joseph said.
How could such a conversation be hidden from Xia Lei's eyes and his lip language comprehension skills? Seeing Joseph and Phillip whispering amongst each other, the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up into a smile. Following that, he whispered a few words to Ling Hao who was beside him. Ling Hao did not say anything and only nodded.
After interacting with Ling Hao, Xia Lei laughed and spoke in German: "You have all seen our machine tools, I wonder what evaluation your experts in German side have?"
Phillip gave Joseph a meaningful glance.
Joseph spoke in German: "Not bad, but a bit worse than what I imagined. We can actually make this kind of 500-ton integrated intelligent machine tools, too. I believe that the other intelligent machine tools we can make wouldn't be any worse than this. "
Phillip revealed a smile. Although he didn't say anything, he was actually praising Joseph's evaluation in his heart.
Anina could not help but interrupt: "Joseph, do you know what you are saying? I'm also a Mechanic, and I know that the AI machine you created is far worse than this one! "
Phillip glared at Anina, "Anina, don't forget, you are a German!"
Anina said, "I have never forgotten that I am a German. However, a real German is fair and honest. Joseph, I feel sorry for you, you are lying! "
An awkward expression appeared on Joseph's face but he braced himself and said, "Anina, what I said was the truth."
Anina wanted to say something, but Xia Lei suddenly spoke out before her, "Anina, don't say anymore."
Anina shut his mouth too.
Xia Lei said: "Mr. Phillip, I do not care whether Mr. Joseph's evaluation is true or not. I am very clear on the value of my chips. I have already shown my sincerity.
"Mr. Xia, are you going to negotiate here?" Phillip said.
Xia Lei said: "What's wrong with that?"
"Alright, please give us some time. We need to discuss it." Phillip said.
"No problem." Xia Lei said.
Under Phillip's lead, the people from the German side walked to a corner of the workshop and started discussing softly.
Ling Hao frowned, "These Germans are really troublesome, will they agree?"
Xia Lei laughed, "Brother Ling, don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
Ling Hao said: "Of course we have our hearts set at ease towards you, but those Germans are very smart, I think that the negotiation will not go smoothly."
Xia Lei said: "The Germans are strict and pragmatic, this is widely acknowledged by the world. But few people knew that the Germans were actually the shrewdest merchants, and that was not much worse than the Jews. Germany was destitute after the second world war, but it is now the leader of Europe, which is a testament to that. "
Ling Hao said: "That's right, I was worried about that. This German side team is like a merchant group, it's not easy to negotiate."
Xia Lei laughed: "But this time, the one they met was me, I am also a merchant. Brother Ling, if you give me the right to negotiate, I will fight for the greatest benefit for us. "
Ling Hao was startled, "Give you the right to negotiate?"
Xia Lei said: "At least let me try. I can't do it, the experts on our side can't do it."
Ling Hao laughed bitterly, "Alright, you brat, I want to see how you talk to them."
Ten minutes later, Phillip brought the German side personnel to the front of the Chinese side.
"Mr. Xia, we have already discussed this." Phillip went straight to the point: "Your comprehensive intelligent machine tools technology is not bad, but they are not the best. Your proposal to trade for the Typhoon Fighter engine technology is not realistic, we are only willing to provide you with the technology for the Panther 2 tank."
Xia Lei shook his head, "We have our own tank techniques, and they aren't too far off. "Not exchanging."
Phillip's face suddenly became unsightly, "Mr. Xia, please be contented, our Leopard 2 tank is the most advanced tank in the world."
"Nope." Xia Lei said.
"You ?" Phillip's face became even uglier. He hesitated for a moment, "Then let's add on the 3D printer's technology."
"We have one too, we won't trade."
"That plus car engine technology. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, whichever you want. "
"We have too many cars in our country. In the city, cars can't even run as fast as an electric car. Why do you need such a good engine? "Not exchanging."
Phillip, "..."
Joseph interrupted and said: "Mr. Xia, what kind of negotiation attitude is this? With so many advanced technologies, they can bring you so many benefits. You should not miss this opportunity. You should agree to it.
Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "You can go now."
The people of German side looked at each other, they did not expect Xia Lei to be so unyielding. Especially Phillip, he wanted to use the lowest price to get the most benefits, but he didn't expect that right after the negotiations started, Xia Lei would actually let them go! This attitude simply did not put their team representing Germany in their eyes!
"Humph!" Since this is your attitude, let's go. Don't forget, Anina has to follow us back to Germany! " Phillip left these words behind and turned to leave.
The group of Germans looked at Xia Lei angrily and followed Phillip out.
Anina looked at Xia Lei eagerly, his eyes filled with helplessness and sadness.
Ling Hao was at a loss of what to do. He touched Xia Lei's arm and muttered: "Brat, what's going on? I gave you the right to negotiate, and you drove me away in less than two minutes? Do you know how many of our new fighting models are now being imported from Russia and are subject to a lack of engines? "
Xia Lei said indifferently, "Don't worry, they will be back."
"You made me so angry, will I come back?" Ling Hao was a little angry.
Xia Lei said, "When I count to ten, they will come back to negotiate with me obediently."
"I'll bet you a hundred." Ling Hao said.
Just as Ling Hao finished speaking, Phillip suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned back from the door.
Xia Lei stretched out his hand towards Ling Hao.
Ling Hao glared at Xia Lei snappily, "I'll owe you one then!"
He could not understand why Xia Lei was so confident, as he was completely confident in himself against these smart Germans. But if he knew that Xia Lei could use his left eye and lip language to decipher the secrets of the Germans, he would definitely not gamble with Xia Lei.
Xia Lei had never once lost a business negotiation.
This time, he obviously wouldn't lose.
