Chapter 513
But for the sake of the massive profits, they were willing to swallow the bitter pill.
After all, Dragon Nation products were cheap.
And now, Long San could be said to be dipping his fingers into the Ugly Nation's military budget.
"You know this is illegal!?"
George Burton, the head of Northrop Grumman, said.
"Illegal! I find it hard to imagine that the word 'law' even exists in the dictionary of a company like yours!"
Long San laughed.
Jim Lawrence pondered for a moment.
In reality, what Long San said was indeed a way to stabilize the profits of arms companies.
Although a mere doubling of the price would be of no use to them at all.
However, they could significantly reduce the cost of domestic products through secret procurement,
and then sell them to the Ugly Nation at the same price.
In this way, their profits would be reduced.
And because they wouldn't need to manufacture them themselves, they wouldn't need so many employees,
which could also reduce costs quite a bit.
In this case, as long as the Ugly Nation's procurement remained constant, even without foreign markets,
their performance could be maintained at a certain level, not too ugly to look at.
Of course, the consequences of doing this...
might lead to many employees in the arms industry losing their jobs, and it would create a dependency on the DWS platform.
It was like drinking poison to quench thirst.
But this was already a solution when there were no other solutions.
This was mainly because they had no way to eliminate the DWS platform at all.
And no matter what the Ugly Nation's arms dealers did, it was impossible to lower the manufacturing costs of weapons to the level of the DWS platform.
Any effort was in vain.
After all, it is human nature to buy cheap goods.
Although they also knew that if they did this,
it would cause harm to the Ugly Nation while fattening the DWS platform.
However, the five major arms manufacturers had no other choice.
At least without the DWS platform selling weapons to those Nige in the country, the situation in the Ugly Nation would be much better.
It wouldn't be as polarized between the North and South as it was now.
The Nige were almost lawless, and the southern states were completely the world of the Nige.
The federal government was almost losing its authority.
"We need to think about it!" Jim Lawrence said.
"Of course, I can give you three days to consider. After that, I will leave the Ugly Nation, and everything will go back to normal!"
Long San said.
After Long San left, George Burton, the head of Northrop Grumman, frowned and said:
"Are we really going to do this?"
"Do you have any other way? If that unreliable person takes office, the Syrian war will end, and our stock prices will definitely crash. Besides, without the war, how can we maintain the high profits of arms companies!"
Jim Lawrence said.
"But doing this is a huge blow to the Ugly Nation's military manufacturing industry!"
Raytheon CEO Stiwell Philip said.
"At least this way we won't have to fight a civil war, and we can send all those damn Nige to prison, right?"
Jim Lawrence emphasized.

Chapter 233: Crazy Israel! Assassination!
Just as these military enterprises were discussing.
Long San, or rather the system AI, had already transmitted everything that happened to Lin Yi's mind.
At this time, it was 8:00 PM in San Francisco.
It was 8:00 AM in Shanghai, a 16-hour time difference.
Lin Yi, who was still on the way to the company, pretended to take a nap and closed his eyes.
"Well, that's it. If they are willing to purchase no less than 30 billion USD of products from the DWS platform every year, then agree to them!"
Lin Yi replied to the system AI.
"But in that case, won't those Nige lack weapons? Won't it fail to meet the host's requirements?"
"I only said to stop selling weapons to the Ugly Nation. Mexico next door shouldn't count as the Ugly Nation, right!"
Lin Yi said to the system AI with his consciousness.
Suddenly, Long San in the Ugly Nation realized.
"Let those Nige run a little further!" Lin Yi said.
"I understand!"
Long San said.
Then, the two sides stopped communicating.
Lin Yi immediately checked the DWS platform's "Double 11" event today through the system.
"Chop Skill", "Flash Sale", "One-Yuan Purchase" and other activities.
Now the average daily transaction volume of the DWS platform,
is about 48 million USD, excluding judicial auctions.
The annual profit is over 15 billion USD.
However, it is this 15 billion USD that makes countless countries, including the Ugly Nation, afraid.
And this year's Double 11 will exceed last year's, and sales will inevitably hit a new high.
During the visit to the Ugly Nation,
Long San and the Ugly Nation's military-industrial complex reached an annual procurement agreement of 30 billion USD.
As long as it is reached, Lin Yi will receive an additional 25 billion USD in profit every year.
In fact, for the Ugly Nation's hundreds of billions of dollars in annual military procurement,
this is probably only about one-tenth.
But because they secretly get goods from Lin Yi, this has created huge profits for those military-industrial complexes.
Of course, to cover their tracks, Lockheed Martin will also produce equipment itself.
It's just that they will mix DWS platform products with their own products.
Before placing an order, they will clarify the various materials through Lin Yi.
The military-industrial complex will put the same nameplates on both.
Even weapons experts would not be able to find the difference between the two.
Perhaps the only difference is that even when using the exact same materials,
DWS platform products are more advanced than theirs.
This is also where companies like Lockheed Martin are completely confused.
However, just when Lin Yi thought everything was settled.
A piece of bad news for him came over.
Long San was assassinated and almost lost his life.
And this news can be said to have shocked the world.
It turned out that Long San was passing by while taking a reception car to the airport to leave the Ugly Nation.
First, the entire bulletproof car was attacked by a bomb.
Then, militants attacked with rocket launchers.
It can be said to be arrogant to the extreme.
