Merlinz's heart skipped a beat when he heard Zhuang Jianye's quotation. The price of a set of US$880,000 was much lower than the US$1.56 million quoted price of loop heat pipes produced by Laura Space Systems, a company that was hostilely acquired by Europe. It's a lot, but Merlinz still thinks it's not a good deal after a rough calculation.
After all, not one loop heat pipe cooling system on a satellite can conquer the world. At least two sets are needed to maintain normal operation. In addition, in order to ensure that the satellite can work normally in the harsh space environment, Necessary backups are also essential.
Such an ordinary satellite requires at least four sets of loop heat pipe cooling systems.
If nothing else, Motorola¡¯s Iridium project is equipped with four sets of cooling devices, two sets of equipment cooling systems, and two sets of backup systems.
If Zhuang Jianye¡¯s quotation is US$880,000 per set, one satellite would cost US$3.52 million, and 72 satellites would be US$253 million.
¡°At a time when Lockheed Systems Space Equipment Company is constantly compressing manufacturing costs, the entire research and development cost is only US$1 billion. As a result, the cooling system accounts for more than 20%. Even if I agree, I can¡¯t get past the stingy Lockheed Company.
Then his head shook like a rattle: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhuang, I can't accept your offer. The reason is very simple. It is impossible for my target customers to accept such expensive satellite spare parts. A set of US$880,000 is really too much." It¡¯s too expensive. In this case, it¡¯s still US$380,000. I¡¯ll purchase 288 sets of official products and 12 sets of spares at one time, a total of 300 sets. There will be no accounting period and the payment will be paid in advance in one go. How about this? Are these conditions generous enough?¡±
It has to be said that the conditions of Merlinz are indeed very good, especially in terms of payment, directly canceling the account period and paying in advance in one go, which can be said to be clean and sincere.
You must know that the payment period in international trade is a headache for many export companies. It is normal for the payment to be delayed by two or three months. It is not surprising that it takes half a year or a year. If you encounter rogues, it will take three to five years. It's not that there is nothing, so how to solve the accounting period has always been a big problem for enterprises in exporting. After all, not all enterprises are big. Sometimes, if they are just short of a mouthful of milk, they may be completely delayed.
Therefore, Merlinz¡¯s decision to pay the full payment for the goods without saying a word is considered a conscience within his conscience.
So after learning about the conversation between Zhuang Jianye and Merlinz from the translator, the local provincial leader was immediately tempted, because he had already learned the approximate cost of the loop heat pipe from the Factoring Group and the Ascendas Group. Around RMB 80,000.
This price is still very expensive for ordinary people, but looking at the price given by Zhuang Jianye and Merlinz, you know that 80,000 yuan is simply a cabbage price.
Let alone the US$880,000 quoted by Zhuang Jianye, even the US$380,000 offered by Merlinz is a huge profit. You must know that it is US dollars, a proper US$380,000, and 80,000 RMB can only be used in front of this figure. To describe it as trivial.
It seems that it is reasonable for Zhuang Jianye not to sell technology. A product that is so profitable that it is so popular is a golden mountain, and only fools sell it.
The problem is that if you don¡¯t want to sell the technology, don¡¯t sell it. Don¡¯t let the product fall into your hands. You¡¯ve already made $380,000, so why are you, Zhuang Jianye, hesitating? Just agree.
Seeing Zhuang Jianye frowning and looking hesitant, the local provincial leader was so anxious that he wanted to rush forward, push Zhuang Jianye away, and directly agree to all Merlinz's requests.
The problem is that before he was ready to exert pressure, he was stopped by the senior executive of the factoring group with just one word.
"Don't be anxious, wait a minute, Xiaozhuang is a tricky person, let's see again!"
For more than ten minutes, this senior executive of the factoring group might be as anxious as the local provincial leader, watching Zhuang Jianye rambling on, but when he learned from Lin Guanghua how Tengfei Group made Foreign experts who come to China work with peace of mind, continue to integrate into Ascendas Group's existing system, and continue to launch various highly practical scientific research results.
He then knew that what Zhuang Jianye said to the heads of the headquarters was exactly the same, that he was strong, talented, and evil-minded. What about Zhuang Jianye, who had started to act like a bully and worked hard for Ascendas Group, who put profits first? Maybe let go of Merlinz in front of you.
That is to say, the current Ascendas Group is not strong enough to compete with Motorola. Otherwise, how could it be here with Merlinz, a second-rate dealer? Zhuang Jianye may not be able to get much favor here.
It was precisely because he wanted to understand this that the senior executive of the factoring group calmed down and gave some advice to the local provincial leader who came with him. The local provincial leader was just a little impatient and wanted to meet him because he thought it would be profitable. Just accept it, there's no other way, in recent years, there have been too many export and foreign exchange-earning projects that have been missed due to price negotiations. He, the leader, really does not want to see Ascendas Group make the same mistake again.
However, after listening to the words of the senior executive of the factoring group, he calmed down. After all, Zhuang Jianye and Merlinz had been arguing for almost half an hour. Not only did Merlinz, an American businessman who had previously been too arrogant, throw down his sleeves angrily, Instead, he chatted more enthusiastically with Zhuang Jianye with a flattering look on his face. It seemed that there was still room for cooperation between the two parties, so he calmed down his anxious temper and continued to watch and learn about the conversation between the two from the translator.
"$380,000 won't work, it really won't work. $880,000 is the lowest price. Our cost for a set of loop heat pipes is $850,000. This is only the cost of materials and processing. The cost of personnel has not been taken into account. 88 After selling you $10,000, our Ascendas Group expects to have $30,000 left over, but once taxes, labor, packaging, testing, and transportation are taken care of, I have to pay $5,000 for a set~~~" Zhuang Jianye explained his explanation with tears in his eyes. Difficulties.
Merlinz also showed Oscar-level acting skills and sighed in despair: "I can only accept the price of 380,000 US dollars, and I have no choice. My customers are also overwhelming me. Otherwise, How about you give me a discount of US$380,000 per set this time, and I¡¯ll make the next batch at US$880,000? If that doesn¡¯t work, we can sign a long-term supply contract. I will purchase 1,500 to 2,000 sets from your Ascendas Group every year. .¡±
The two people were going back and forth with each other's acting skills, and the people around them were dumbfounded. But in fact, the shameless appearance of the two people was torn off, and it can be summed up in two sentences, that is Zhuang Jianye's clear-cut attitude: Loop heat pipe The cost is high, and the price of US$880,000 cannot be less.
And Merlinz was unyielding: Don¡¯t follow me, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know the approximate cost of a loop heat pipe, just lower the price.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? else Zhuang Jianye¡¯s patience has been worn out, and he won¡¯t give the Magnolia Award for his acting skills, so what is there to continue? Without saying anything at all, he took another convex saddle part from the worker next to him, then pulled out a fine wool core from it and handed it to Merlinz: "Why have our costs increased? You¡¯ll know just by looking at this thing.¡±
Merlinz took Mao Xin'er in his hand and didn't care at first, but the next moment his fat face was replaced by indescribable shock. He then raised the Mao Xin'er in his hand and asked Zhuang Jianye: "This ¡This¡this is M-level carbon fiber¡m40j carbon fiber composite material?¡±
