These people were from radio factories and semiconductor factories in Beijing, including Factory 774, which was later called BOE.
Factory 774 was once the largest transistor factory in China, and it is still a leader in transistor production.
Wan Feng has traveled almost all over Beijing and made friends all over the world.
Of course, we can’t be considered friends now, we are just acquaintances.
In order to consider the impact, Wan Feng did not invite these people to dinner or give them gifts. At most, he gave them two packs of cigarettes when they met.
Of course, the person Wan Feng hangs out with most these days is a manager named Ma from Baoli Technology Co., Ltd.
He also introduced Wan Feng to many talented people in the semiconductor field.
Wan Feng didn't give any gifts to the factory managers or anything like that, but he gave a lot of things to the manager named Ma in private.
In name, it was to thank him for introducing many people to him.
But Wan Feng didn't tell anyone what his secret purpose was.
When the circle was over, the Soviet delegation also arrived in Beijing in a flying plane.
A month later, Western countries began to impose sanctions on China again, and the brief honeymoon period between China and the West that began in 1980 came to an end.
The peace model that China and the United States spent four and a half years and $200 million to build came to nothing, and the military's high hopes for the second-born product, the Sharp Eight, were stillborn.
In this case, the Su-27 becomes very important as a backup plan.
Of course, although the military made preparations for both scenarios, it did not expect that the cooperation between China and the United States would end so soon.
If it weren't for the Chinese people's natural tendency to plan before taking action, we would have been in a real mess.
After the Soviet side arrived and took a short rest for a day, they visited Dashanlan, the most famous place at that time, accompanied by Chinese personnel.
The main purpose is to see what goods are available in the Chinese market.
The Soviet personnel almost dropped their jaws when they saw this.
Dazzling, stunned, transfixed, and extremely excited.
I never thought that there are so many types of goods in the Chinese market. For many products of the same type, there are as many as a dozen manufacturers and a dozen styles.
These goods were unimaginable in the Soviet Union.
It was not until this time that they realized that the form of barter was so wise.
Even if China gives them US dollars, they still have to use it to buy supplies.
Where else can you find such a wide variety of goods as in China?
At least there would not be such a complete range of supplies within the CMEA. As for the Western world, even if they have rich families, they may not sell them.
The Soviet entourage wrote and took notes for a long time, but it was all in vain. The Chinese side had already compiled the mainstream products into a book and printed a small book.
The Soviet side didn't know about this and was busy for a long time.
The Soviets studied it behind closed doors for a long time, but no one knew what product they finally decided on.
Later, it was circulated online that the Soviet side traded three things: a flashlight, a thermos, and a fur coat.
Wan Feng expressed disbelief in this rumor.
He had dealt with the Soviet Union and traded flashlights and thermoses, but not a single fur coat.
Moreover, flashlights and thermoses are not the mainstream of transactions. Among the commodities traded by Wanfeng, they are not even among the top ten popular commodities.
They are not even as big as the trade in gloves, socks and shoes.
The Soviets have looked at it and studied it, so it is time to negotiate.
The negotiations began on the afternoon of May 3rd. On the first day, the negotiation table was filled with swords and smoke.
The Soviet side proposed 250 million yuan for each Su-7, not a penny less.
"We believe the S-27 has the same performance as the US F-15. Both are twin-engine, long-range heavy fighters. The F-15 costs 55 million US dollars each, so the S-27 must cost at least 50 million US dollars each. Not a penny less!"
General Andreevich of the Arbat Military District was the main negotiator. He had a fat face and an arrogant attitude.
The Soviets' straightforward character was fully exposed. They came straight to the point and revealed their cards directly.
"General Andreevich, isn't negotiation all about talking? You set such a tone right from the start, which makes it difficult to move forward. I think we should talk in a friendly manner." A middle-aged major general from the Chinese side responded in a gentle tone.
"Our time is precious. We'd better reach a conclusion today. Once we're done, we'll go back as soon as possible. There's nothing much to discuss. If you don't think it's feasible, you don't have to buy it."
Wan Feng was present today, but he was only there as an observer. He only had the right to listen but not the right to speak.
Does this Andreevich have too many roundworms in his intestines?
Wan Feng concluded that he was not just playing the villain, but was born that way.
If it were during the heyday of the Soviet Union, you could just buy it if you want and get out if you don't.
But what's wrong with your country now? Don't you have any records?
He's a beggar, yet he acts like an aristocrat.
Fortunately, another Soviet general quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"Our ideal price is 38 million Euros." As soon as the Chinese side made the offer, Andreevich, who had just sat down, suddenly jumped up again, slapped the table, and knocked over the teacups on the table.
"Thirty-eight million! Dream on! That's only enough to buy a fuselage. You Chinese people are so ungrateful! This is the Su-27. It's the most advanced fighter jet in the world. Your bid insults its noble origins!"
This guy shouldn't have been brought here. Isn't this a negotiation? Isn't it just talk?
The Chinese side bargained for 38 million euros and had no intention of adding a big piece. The two sides argued for hundreds of rounds, and no one changed the price, and the game ended in a draw.
Then came the evening banquet.
At the banquet, Andreevich arrogantly told the Chinese staff: "Don't serve wine that can't be lit with a match. That's for women. Men don't drink that kind of wine."
This is a common tactic used by the Soviet military delegation when negotiating with foreign countries. Third Brother, Yuenan, and the brothers in Chao County were badly beaten by them by this trick.
The people of Sufang live in high latitudes. Due to the climate, they are born to be drinking animals. In addition, due to the difference in race, people from countries like Yuenanchao County are no match for them at the drinking table.
The most miserable one was the third brother. These Puritans had never drunk such strong liquor before. After one glass, they felt dizzy. After two glasses, they basically didn't recognize their parents.
At this time, Soviet generals would ridicule the officials of the Indian Ministry of Defense wantonly, and some embarrassing words would embarrass the other side and make them lose face.
Sometimes even some members of the Soviet delegation could not stand it anymore.
Today the Soviets are preparing to repeat the same trick. They believe that only by getting the other party drunk at the negotiating table can the subsequent negotiations go smoothly.
They said that the smooth progress of their speech was naturally beneficial to them.
In particular, Andreevich believed that these ungrateful Chinese people had to be drunk before they would sign the treaty under duress.
