Chapter 106 'Joint Defense' Order

Xu Fei looked around at the Japanese financial tycoons sitting around the conference table, feeling a little disappointed.

According to the intelligence provided by the Navy SEALs, the Japanese financial tycoons were ruthless and unscrupulous.

Why did they suddenly become hesitant when it came to me?

In fact, he had never intended to sell the clockwork toy gun to the Japanese.

But the weapons were meant to be used once sold.

The director of the military factory, Jiang Tao, had already sold two batches of clockwork toys.

Due to their performance surpassing the equivalent models in North America and their unique internal structure, if the buyer died in action or turned out to be a European or American spy, the secrets of the assembly and disassembly would soon be exposed.

Jiang Tao had also warned that three forces were secretly investigating the source of the clockwork toys.

Coincidentally, Xu Fei obtained information about the controlling party of the United Defense Company, the "Carlyle Consortium."

The investors behind the Carlyle Consortium were the former North American leader, Bush Sr., and the current troublemaker, Harden's family.

The heads of two opposing factions had partnered to open a company and were responsible for the defense supply in North America...

This was very puzzling.

It also meant that the United Defense Company had some unspeakable secrets.

If North America investigated the source of the weapons...

TEP (North America) only controlled the North American Tower and had no other business.

TEP (Shou'er) was ostensibly part of the North American base and only sold toys.

The engineers left in Jamaica had established TEP (Jamaica), mainly engaged in car repairs.

No matter how you looked at it or investigated, the overseas TEP had nothing to do with the weapons.

But the United Defense Company was different.

It had secrets and definitely couldn't withstand an investigation, making it the perfect scapegoat.

Therefore, Xu Fei had recently decided to impersonate the other party.

As long as TEP insisted that the other party supplied the weapons, who would North America investigate first?

As for sanctioning TEP...

TEP was not a Chinese company, but a German one.

If something happened, the chairman of TEP (North America), James, could talk to "Bain Capital" and, with the help of their connections, relocate the TEP headquarters to Boston. Perhaps they could transform into a North American toy company.

Even if things went wrong, at most TEP would go bankrupt, Little Xu, the factory director, would be unemployed, and what would be the loss?

Money?

If, during this time, they increased shipments under the name of the North American United Defense, the money spent on the tower would soon be earned back.

So, the old man in charge of the weapons bought six Grizzly armored vehicles and, at his strong suggestion, stopped using the code name "Highland Killer."

They were airlifted to Tibet and began training openly.

Although the test drivers, even after becoming familiar with the operation, were still not as good as the engineers and couldn't play "driving-style mobile shooting," the engine adapted to the high-altitude environment was more intimidating than the weapons.

When the time was right, they could soon introduce assault vehicles, transport vehicles, engineering vehicles, medical vehicles, all using the same engine.

This made India anxious and they protested to North America.

However, things were still brewing.

As a result, Xu Fei decided to sell the clockwork toy gun and even the Grizzly armored vehicles to Japan, provoking the North American base in Japan.

"Look, how arrogant the United Defense is!"

What? The United Defense is self-proclaimed?

The North American executives were aware of the investors behind the Carlyle Consortium, but if it were exposed, it would be a big deal for the general public.

Xu Fei looked around at the Japanese tycoons and continued to promote, "The active phased array radar, with a radius of fifty kilometers, can track the trajectory and target of attacks with a caliber of 105mm or more, priced at 15 million US dollars, buy one get one free!"

The old man in charge of the weapons had long received the radar parameters.

But when it came to electronic components and the underlying scanning system, it was highly likely that some strange things would be implanted, causing everything to be obtained by the other party. In the end, they dared only to buy one and, when the goods arrived, transfer it to a semi-public research institute to be dismantled and studied.

Xu Fei wanted to expand the base area and really wanted to explain that this was a clean radar.

But TEP was a foreign company, and there was no way to explain.

Now, with the name of the United Defense, it was even more impossible to explain.

............

Japan liked to stick together, calling it "village culture."

From families to schools to trading companies, if one always acted independently, they would be seen as "different."

"Being different" meant having no team spirit and was destined to not have a good development.

Influenced by this concept, the small Japanese tycoons doing business in different port cities in China, from different regions of Japan, gathered in the city of East Mountain, and silently embraced each other, forming a special hierarchical relationship.

On their way here, after discussions, they finally reached a consensus: to take over the general distribution of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery, with a bid not exceeding 1 billion RMB.

This was the part of the profits accumulated by many small tycoons in China over the years, which could not be exchanged for foreign currency.

As for using overseas accounts or using funds from the Japanese headquarters, no one had even thought about it.If you use this part of the profit to take the distribution rights, when you return to Japan, divide the area, and each family will establish a new corporation, forming a huge general distributor. Once profitable, you can realize the profit.

But this young factory director from TEP, after showing a bright future, everyone had to secretly raise their expected offer.

20 billion RMB.

At most, it cannot exceed 30 billion.

According to the idea of the Japanese chaebol.

I first expressed that the price was too high, just testing the waters.

You quote 50 billion, making a bold move.

Then the two sides negotiated the price, entered the normal negotiation process, and finally settled on a slightly higher middle price, reaching a cooperation.

Never thought.

After the other party quoted 50 billion, seeing that our side refused, they stopped talking on the spot and instead promoted various armed forces.

Some elderly chaebols who came from the headquarters of Japan couldn't help but take out their plane tickets and look at them.

It was confirmed that this was China, not West Asia.

Obviously, there was a serious error in the previous evaluation of TEP.

The other party is not a toy seller, but an arms dealer.

The problem is, why would an arms dealer not engage in more profitable arms deals, but instead come to make toys...

Is it because arms dealing is not profitable, or because toys are more profitable?

After the shock of the Japanese chaebols, they fell into silence collectively.

No one dared to speak casually.

Otherwise, what to say?

Ask for a price?

What if they were caught by China?

But repeatedly not speaking was a breach of Japanese etiquette.

An elderly Japanese chaebol sitting on the right side of the conference table finally stood up.

He spoke in fluent Mandarin, "Mr. Xu, may I have a word?"

"You speak Mandarin very standardly, come with me."

Xu Fei left a pile of samples and walked into the adjacent meeting room No. 7.

The elderly Japanese chaebol led a young man in his twenties and quickly followed.

"Mr. Xu, I am Takeuchi, the vice president of Ota Shoji."

"Nice to meet you."

Xu Fei politely shook hands, while quickly recalling the information provided by the Navy SEALs.

Ota Shoji...

Sounds familiar.

But there are too many corporations controlled by the six major chaebols in Japan, and the names of Japanese companies are not easy to remember. It was impossible to recall the origin of the other party in a short time.

"Mr. Xu, are those 'toys' of yours a joke?"

"Would TEP, such a large multinational company, joke? If you want to buy, you can place an order now, make the payment, and sign the supply agreement."

Takeuchi bowed, "When I just came out, I deliberately tried that wind-up toy. The workmanship is indeed excellent, but the price is slightly high. I hope to get a unit price of 300 dollars."

"500, fixed price."

If it was just an ordinary wind-up toy, this price would indeed be expensive.

But with clever mechanisms...

In the name of a 1:1 model, purchasing in large quantities...

Takeuchi took a deep breath, "1000 sets. I will place an order through the trading company. If the goods arrive at the designated port smoothly, I hope we can maintain cooperation, and I also hope that your company can provide certain discounts in the future."

"No problem, deal!"

Xu Fei turned around and signaled to Dama, who took out the joint defense supply agreement sent by the Navy SEALs from his briefcase.
