Luyeère had to be happy. Although Meng Jianye's words were not clearly stated, his meaning was clearly expressed, that is, the Flying Ship had no intention of competing with the French Shipbuilding Agency for Thailand's frigate project.

Think about it, China's 053h2 frigate has nothing to do except for a few C-801 anti-ship missiles and a useless zkj-1b combat command system. Technically, it can be instantly slag by the "Medina"-class frigate with balanced combat power such as air defense, anti-ship, and anti-submarine in minutes.

If it weren't for the obvious price advantage, it would probably not have been the eyes of Thais.

Now that the Chinese people are evading the current situation, they can also save themselves the effort of fighting on both sides. Now, as long as they are wholeheartedly dealing with the Thais, I believe that this order will not take long.

At this moment, Luye's mind was thinking a lot, but it was only a short moment. Even though he was happy, Luye was still calm on his face, nodded and responded in a pretentious manner: "It would be better for your company to understand us. If this causes inconvenience to your company, we will help your company solve it as soon as possible. After all, we still have some influence in Thailand."

"That's great. I heard that your country's Faso company has developed a set of industrial design software. We have been famous for our long-term development of shipbuilding. Since Mr. Luyeère is so generous, we will take your ride-sharing and buy five latest versions of three-dimensional industrial design software for shipbuilding."

Luyeer looked at Meng Jianye with a calm expression and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He was just a few polite words. Why did this guy start climbing along the way? What's more, does he mean to exchange conditions? It's clear that he told you to get out quickly, okay? Could it be that he didn't explain it clearly?

"Mr. Luyeère? Mr. Luyeère? Are you listening to me?"

Just when Luye began to doubt that there was something wrong with his expression, Meng Jianye gave a few reminders and brought him back to reality. Seeing this, Luye immediately seemed to say no, but waited for him to speak, Meng Jianye continued to say with the previous conditions:

"We continue with the conditions just now. In addition to designing software, we also hope that your country can provide a batch of CNC processing equipment, preferably an advanced CNC machine tool that can be seamlessly compatible with design software. As the saying goes, good horses are good and saddles. With software but no machine tools, I always feel that there are shortcomings, so... Mr. Luye, look..."

If Meng Jianye only talks about Dassault's design software, Luye could refuse it without thinking, because no matter how high-end it is, it is not a dish from the French Shipbuilding Bureau. However, if high-performance machine tools are mentioned, Luye would have to consider it.

After all, in addition to military ship business, the French Shipbuilding Bureau also holds many top-notch upstream equipment manufacturing companies in China, including many high-end machine tool brands such as René and Soma, which are famous for the world.

If he could get the order from Thailand's frigate and then win the big order from China's machine tools, then his trip to Southeast Asia would be a huge profit. Not to mention the rebate commission, it would be enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. The position of the president of the International Affairs Department, which he was obsessed with, would definitely be his possession.

In short, it is a good deal for both public and private, so Luye frowned and thought for a moment before speaking: "I don't know what your company has for CNC machine tools?"

"I have a list here, please take a look!" Meng Jianye said, taking a list from Fan Zhuoming's side, and then handing it to Luye'er.

When Luye saw it in his hand, his brows frowned unconsciously: "Everything else is easy to say, but the four five-axis machine tools inside are a bit difficult, especially the seven-axis five-linked large gantry machine tools, which are something that the Paris Coordination Committee explicitly prohibits."

The so-called Paris Coordination Committee, referred to as Batumi, is an unofficial international institution gathered in the field of international trade by Western countries led by the United States. Its purpose is to restrict member states from exporting strategic materials and high technology to red countries.

The five-axis machine tools and the seven-axis five-link large gantry machine tools derived from the basis are important high-tech products that Batumi explicitly prohibits export, so Luye knew at a glance that the list Meng Jianye gave him was very heavy, so he couldn't bear it.

However, Meng Jianye shrugged indifferently: "What era is this? Is it still talking about Batumi? The American F-14 is going to be sold to us. Is it useful to talk about these old things? The items on the list are priced at a price of 300 million US dollars. If it can be achieved, we will pay you a commission when the things arrive."

Meng Jianye said it was a heroic thing, as if 300 million US dollars were not his own, and he would not feel sorry for throwing it out. In fact, the 300 million US dollars was really not Meng Jianye’s, but his mother’s company’s book assets.

As for the real source, it is quite complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, the only one who can control such a huge amount of funds is the existence called the country.

Luyeer didn't know so many twists and turns. Even if he knew, he would probably have a headache, because he couldn't track the real fund owner of this large amount of funds. Because when the funds were transferred to Meng Jianye's mother's company account, he didn't know how many operations he had done, and he had already been in chaos.

But this is not the point, because at this moment, what Luye was concerned about was not the source of funds, but such a huge amount of money itself and the commission at that point.

Three hundred million US dollars, one percent commission, that is three million US dollars, a full three million US dollars. Even though Luye walked around most of the earth and had seen many strong winds and waves, he was breathing rapidly at this moment. There was no way, the commission was too generous, so it was so rich that he had no courage to refuse.

This is not because Batumi's restraint has decreased, but because China and the West are now in a honeymoon period. Even Americans have sent the good things that are in their chest to the Chinese. Why can't the French?

So Luye thought for a moment before saying seriously: "Although things are difficult to handle, there is not no room for operation. In this way, I will report to the headquarters of the Shipbuilding Bureau. If I agree, I will contact you again and finalize the specific details."

"Then please, Mr. Luye!" Meng Jianye got up after saying that, and stretched out his hand. Luye also stretched out his hand and shook with Meng Jianye: "I will give you an answer as soon as possible, Mr. Meng Jianye."

"Okay, I still have some things to deal with in Thailand, so I won't bother you." As he said that, Meng Jianye nodded politely and prepared to leave, but before he could reach the door of the reception room, Luyeah behind him spoke and reminded: "Mr. Meng Jianye, I hope you will be as you said in the Thai frigate bidding."

Meng Jianye stopped and turned to Luye's gentle smile: "Compared with the frigate's bid, industrial software and machine tools on the list are what I am most interested in."

After saying that, Meng Jianye gave Luye's look of great affirmation, then he tidied up his clothes and left the living room with his head held high.

...

"Xiao Meng, is French machine tools OK?"

When Meng Jianye and his group came out of the Shangri-La Hotel and had just gotten in the car, Fan Zhuoming, who was riding in the same car, expressed the questions he had been holding in his heart with concern.

There is no way. Fan Zhuoming only heard about Japanese, German and American machine tools, but never heard about French machine tools. It seems that under the halo of the United States, Japan and Germany, French machine tools seem to be inconspicuous.

When he was formulating a strategy in China, he had this question, but the leader made the decision at that time, so he couldn't speak. After arriving in Thailand, he was busy and had no chance to speak. It was not until the initial intention of 300 million US dollars was reached that Fan Zhuoming realized that it was 300 million US dollars.

China's military expenditure is less than 20 billion yuan per year, and it is less than 4 billion yuan in US dollars. 300 million US dollars is almost one-tenth of the annual military expenditure. It was just spent on it. Even if Fan Zhuoming is calm, he was a little uneasy. So no matter whether it is suitable or not, he would always ask, otherwise he would be really upset.

"What do you think?"

Fan Zhuoming, who was waiting for the answer, did not expect Meng Jianye to kick the ball back again and almost suffered internal injuries. However, he still held back and said, "It should be no Japan, right?"

"A country that can be self-sufficient in the fields of aviation, aerospace, nuclear energy, and precision manufacturing, and is among the world's leading ones. How bad do you think is it better than Japan and Germany?" Meng Jianye asked again, but this time, Fan Zhuoming stopped talking.

There is no way, he really can't answer Meng Jianye's words at all. Does France have poor industrial capabilities? Look at Dassault's Phantom and the Gust of Wind; look at Airbus' A-series; look at nuclear power plants all over France; look at high-speed railways covering the entire French territory; look at Ariana rockets; look at nuclear submarines in the French Shipbuilding Bureau...

You will know that French industry, especially cutting-edge industries, is not only not bad, but is even unique in some fields.

And if the machine tool industry does not have some unique skills to support such a huge industrial foundation, how could it have achieved such great industrial achievements?

In fact, France's machine tool industry is not only not bad, but it is one of the top in the world. Take Linnei Machine Tool Company, a manufacturer of seven-axis five-link machine tools that Meng Jianye is preparing to introduce, as an experienced five-axis machine tool manufacturer.

Since 1957, Renai Company has started the development of five-axis machine tools. By the 1960s and 1970s, Renai Company had formed multiple series of five-axis machine tools, becoming one of the few high-end machine tool manufacturers in the world.

At the same time, Germany's five-axis wake-up was just starting, and Japan's was still exploring low-end CNC machine tools. Compared with the French René company, it was simply not even a slag.

In the 1980s, Germany and Japan's machine tool industry came from behind, but France, which was one step ahead, still maintained its advantage in technology, but limited to production capacity and French policies. French machine tools have always been given priority to domestic manufacturers, and the export volume is not large. In addition, the bottom price competition between Japan and Germany makes French machine tools seem a little quiet.

But it does not mean that French machine tools are not advanced.

Of course, technology is only one reason why Mongolia Jianye chose French machine tools, but it is not the most important thing. The real factor that made Mongolia Jianye choose to introduce French machine tools is the French who dared to break the conventional mavericks.

After all, Batumi is such a bullshit thing, which is quite disgusting. If you introduce similar machine tools from Germany and Japan, whether the two countries agree or not will this time depends on the face of the American father behind it. After all, these two countries are pinched by American fathers. If one is not good, they can make them unable to survive or die.

On the other hand, although the French are in the NATO system, they never regard the United States as their father, and at best they only regard the United States as their elder brother. Because of this, France and the United States always have a superior mentality of clear settlement of their own brothers. We can sit down and have a good chat. If you have any questions, please do not care whether your elder brother is big brother or not. Let's go, I'm too lazy to miss you.

It is precisely because of this attitude that France has the style of a rooster with independence of national defense, industry and diplomatic autonomy.

It was precisely because Meng Jianye was interested in this that he chose to introduce advanced equipment from France. There is no way. Who can make the Gaul chicken be so strong that he dares to develop arbitrarily under the gaze of his American father? This is a skill in itself.
