Chapter 112
Time passed in a flash.
Amidst the anticipation of all, the Zhuhai Airshow also entered the next link.
Representatives from various countries were almost looking through their eyes, and it was finally time to talk about the price.
However, on the planet, arms business is not buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and there are many twists and turns in it.
It is not as simple as Long Guo quoting a price, and representatives of various countries can buy it if they can afford it, and roll if they can't.
The water inside is deep!
Arms, selling not only products, but also Long Guo's international influence!
Why do Eagle's arms sell so well? Isn't it because he is the world boss, the planet policeman!
Moreover, the price of arms is not fixed.
For example, for the same third-generation plane, Eagle might open its mouth wide when selling to Baodao, and it will take at least three to five hundred million US dollars!
But if it were sold to the British, it would fetch at most a few tens of millions of dollars!
This is what we call human relationships and worldly wisdom...
Although the Long Kingdom is not as ruthless as the Eagle Kingdom, discriminating to that extent.
But if one were to truly ignore feelings and set a flat price regardless of how good or bad the relationship is, it would appear too heartless.
Therefore.
The Long Kingdom’s fighter jet business is still decided to be negotiated separately with the representatives of each country.
For countries with poorer relations, the price will be increased by twenty percent on top of the original price!
For countries with slightly better relations, we will give them a small discount, and throw in some local specialties as well.
Like our iron brothers, the Pakistanis!
The Long Kingdom is even more magnanimous, declaring that any plane the Pakistanis take a fancy to will be twenty percent off!!
We even thoughtfully include bilingual manuals in Chinese and Urdu, plus free pilot training!
Absolutely guaranteeing that the Pakistani pilots can fly just perfectly to the capital of the White Elephant Kingdom!
The Football Kingdom?
I remember your country is so poor you’ve started using propeller planes, right?
I heard that when the Football King returned home this year, he was picked up and celebrated with propeller planes?
That’s too shabby...
Come! Look! Our Long Kingdom’s J-10 Modified is only 100 million Long Kingdom currency! Absolutely sturdy and durable!
What?
Can’t afford it?
That’s easy to handle!
Have the Football King Messi come to our Long Kingdom to coach our national football team more, or if that doesn’t work, just come to our Long Kingdom to play!
If he can get the national team to eat two fewer sea cucumbers and perform a bit more impressively!
Giving you two for free is no problem at all...
……
On the Blue Star, not every country can live in prosperity.
Many country representatives drool looking at the planes at the Zhuhai Airshow, but their pockets are cleaner than their faces.
Facing these poor little brothers, the Rabbit, as the greatest philanthropist on the Blue Star, naturally has to extend a helping hand!
Not enough money to buy advanced planes?
Does your home have oil?
No oil? Surely there are some mineral deposits at home...
We can cooperate in development!
The Long Kingdom provides the technology, the infrastructure, and the jobs; you provide the manpower!
Isn’t this a win-win?
What?
You don’t even have mines?
Well, you need to build railways...
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first!
The Long Kingdom’s railway technology is invincible under heaven...
To put it bluntly, at this very moment, the Rabbit has completely shed its disguise.
It has turned into a cunning rabbit with eyes gleaming with shrewdness!
For the sake of a little money, it has gone all out...
However.
The Long Kingdom representatives also know clearly.
The main event of this Zhuhai Airshow is not the small fry, but the incoming Saudi Camels!
These are the famous "rich and foolish" of the Blue Star!
If we can sign a big order with the Saudi Camels, the Long Kingdom Air Force’s military budget for the entire next year might just be covered!!
Next is the negotiation with the Saudi Camels.
Even Zhao Lao couldn’t help but become solemn, pulling Song Qi into the reception room.
In no time at all.
The Saudi Camel representatives walked in one by one.
They sat upright directly across from Zhao Lao.
A layer of white cloth draped over their heads, fluttering about; it really gives off that "a cloth on the head, I’m the richest in the world" vibe...
Looking at the few people in front of him.
Zhao Lao on the side couldn’t help but frown.
How much should he actually quote?
If he quotes too high, the Saudi Camel representatives aren’t fools, and letting them know he’s price-gouging doesn’t seem great...
But if he quotes too low, it feels like a huge loss...
The Saudi Camels should be most interested in the J-10 Modified, right!
What price is appropriate?
No, no!
Too low...
Seems too high; at such a high price, how are we any different from the Eagle Kingdom?
……
Just as Zhao Lao was brainstorming.
The Saudi Camel representative spoke up.
“Zhao Lao...”
“We come with the greatest sincerity to do business with you Rabbits! That J-10 Modified, how much does your country intend to charge for it...”
They really were here for the J-10 Modified!
Zhao Lao’s heart jolted; he glanced at the Camel representative’s expression, seemingly trying to glean some useful information.
Let’s set it at 150 million...
If the price is too high and scares the Camels away, that wouldn’t be good. We have a large inventory of J-10s in the Long Kingdom anyway; let’s just consider it small profits but quick turnover!
If that doesn’t work, we can always earn it back later when selling missiles!!
In an instant, Zhao Lao made up his mind.
“Our quote is 150 million!”
After speaking, Zhao Lao folded his hands and waited for the other side’s response.
The next second.
The Saudi Camel representatives began whispering to each other.
Zhao Lao’s heart was pounding.
Oh no!
Could it be that the price was too high...
If I had known, I would have quoted 120 million...
Just as Zhao Lao was feeling anxious, the Camel representative stopped communicating, turned his head, and gave Zhao Lao a brilliant smile!
“Zhao Lao!”
“You Long Kingdom people are truly too honest! Such an advanced fighter jet! Only 150 million US dollars! It’s simply too cheap!”
“Give me fifty of them to form an aerial formation!!!”
“You really are great philanthropists...”
