After listening to Lin Chenran, he instantly understood what Kovalevitch meant.

Kovalevitch and the senior executives behind him believe that the price of US$50 million is too low to satisfy their "appetite", and they hope that Lin Chenran can increase the price.

Lin Chenran cursed in his heart, "These old foxes are really greedy!

But if you can get a four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine with 760 horsepower, Lin Chenran can accept it as long as the price is not too excessive.

Anyway, he got 250 million US Dollar from Camel Region Sha Country.

There is no need for him to pay, so...

"Kovalevitch, my friend, how much is the price of the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau?"

"If the price is too expensive, we 077 Machinery Military Factory will definitely not be able to afford it."

Lin Chenran means that Kovalevitch and others can earn more profits by default, but they cannot be used as a "capital" to "explode gold coins".

Kovalevitch thought to himself, "Sure enough, it is easiest to deal with smart people."

"Those Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau executives a few days ago disgusted me to death. If not, Lin Chenran wants the technology and production lines related to the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine in your hands."

Immediately afterwards, Kovalevitch directly told Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau to sell the related technology of the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine, as well as the price of the production line.

"Sixty five million US Dollar!!!"

Kovalevitch said solemnly, as if he had tried his best.

This is the final pricing!

"Hiss!"

The 077 Machinery Military Factory executives on the side took a breath of air, "Sixty-five million US Dollar! They have never seen so much money in their lives."

Then Kovalevitch explained the distribution of expenses to Lin Chenran in detail, "Lin, I don't want to hide it from you. The 55 million US Dollar is used to pay Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau's expenses, and the remaining 10 million US Dollar is used to open various relationships and channels."

Then he said frankly, "Actually, I personally can only get half a million US Dollar from it."

US Dollar and Lin Chenran have no intention of investigating in depth whether Kovalevitch really only earns a mere 500,000 US Dollar.

He also hopes that Kovalevitch can get more benefits from this transaction.

In this way, Kovalevitch will be firmly in his hands.

There is an old saying, "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

Once Kovalevitch gets used to enjoying a luxurious life, it will be very difficult to return to a state of frugality.

After Lin Chenran heard Kovalevitch say sixty-five million US Dollar, he fell into deep thought.

In fact, he was happy inside!

It only costs 65 million US Dollar to acquire the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine related technology and production line in the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau's hands, which is a considerable value.

Although this tank engine technology is relatively backward in Mao Xiong's hands, it is quite advanced internationally, as far as Flame Nation is concerned.

It can be spent 65 million US Dollar to introduce it, which is super worth it.

But now Lin Chenran has to pretend to be very embarrassed, and also needs to argue hard to make Kovalevitch feel that he does not have to spend so much money to introduce a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine.

Lin Chenran knew very well that if an agreement could not be reached, Kovalevitch might ask for an exorbitant price. How much would he have to pay to get a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine?

There are precedents for this kind of thing, and those people are usually like lions.

"Kovalevitch, can we discuss the price further?"

"Sixty-five million US dollars is really a huge amount of money for us. With our current financial situation, we at 077 Machinery Military Factory simply cannot afford such a high expense."

"Fifty million US dollars is already the limit we can bear." Lin Chenran said with a look of embarrassment.

The reason why Lin Chenran behaves like this is entirely because he knows the other party's psychology well.

If he appears too eager or generous, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price.

Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be indecisive and in a dilemma.

Kovalevitch hesitated for a moment and began to feel entangled in his heart.

In fact, according to the information he has, although 077 Machinery Military Factory is now very successful in the civilian engineering vehicle market, their profit is still far from reaching 65 million US Dollar.

Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau's executives are asking for high prices.

If it is less than 55 million US Dollar, they will not sell the tank engine technology in their hands.

The superior leaders behind him also expressed dissatisfaction with this and believed that the benefits he achieved were too few.

In desperation, all the pressure was concentrated on Kovalevitch.

In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and made an offer of up to 65 million US Dollar to Lin Chenran.

"This..."

"Lin, I'm in trouble too."

"Sixty-five million US Dollar is our lowest price."

Kovalevitch directly killed 65 million US Dollar, and said that as long as Lin Chenran could afford the price, he could promote the cooperation between the Ural Locomotive and Rolling Stock Plant Design Bureau and Lin Chenran. Otherwise...

"Kovalevitch, this..."

For a time, the negotiations reached a deadlock.

Lin Chenran thought for a moment and said slowly, "Kovalevitch, can you let me go back and think about it?"

"This price is really too high. We need to go back and discuss it with the senior management of the factory."

Lin Chenran frowned and said.

Kovalevitch felt nervous. If the top management of 077 Machinery Military Factory did not agree to spend so much money to purchase this tank engine technology, wouldn't he have been busy in vain?

Lin Chenran knows the skills of negotiation well, so naturally he will not immediately agree to the other party's request.

He stood up and made a gesture of preparing to leave.

Kovalevitch said quickly, "No problem!"

Kovalevitch sent Lin Chenran and others out of his small foreign-style building and stood at the door, watching as their figures gradually disappeared from his sight.

Lin Chenran After walking out of the small foreign building, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He knows that this negotiation has been more than half successful.

Next, it depends on whether Kovalevitch is willing to lower the price.

Even if he is unwilling to lower the price, Lin Chenran will agree to it.

Kovalevitch returned to the house and dialed Leo Gago's phone number.

He said anxiously, "General Gago, Lin Chenran are hesitant to spend 65 million US Dollar to purchase a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine, and may be put off by the price."

"We have to bring the price down a little bit."

The net income of tens of millions US Dollar is right in front of him, and he doesn't want to watch it slip away.
