Chapter 1181: Gifts
Do you want to take a stake?
Not to mention, Chen Geng is really a little excited, it is really these defense contractors in the United States who are really too profitable, especially now that the Soviet Union has just closed its doors, with the contacts he has accumulated in the Soviet Union over the years, not to mention ordinary logistics support tasks, even some low-intensity combat missions can attract enough manpower.
But Chen Geng also understands that the water in defense contracting is very deep, and it is deeper than he could imagine, and if something goes wrong during the period, it is just a loss of money or a trivial matter, and he is afraid that he will get into some troubles that he can't get rid of.
"Mr. Fernandez, this defense company, besides me, has several other shareholders," Elliot Richardson knew what Chen Geng was hesitating, and he whispered a few names to Chen Geng, "They are also shareholders of my defense contracting company." ”
Hearing these names, Chen Geng was really moved: "That's ......"
Who would have thought that one of the shareholders of Elliott Richardson, a defense contracting company, is a certain fund, and what Chen Geng knows is that this fund has a deep relationship with the Bush family...... That's right, the same Bush family that gave birth to the father and son president.
"Believe me, Fernandez, we've known each other for so many years, and I know how powerful you are," Elliott Richardson whispered to Chen Geng again, "If I lie to you, can I afford your revenge?"
"Okay," Chen Geng was indeed moved, but then, he also asked a question: "However, why me?"
I knew it was so!
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Elliot Richardson laughed, and he said in a low voice, "Why don't we talk in another place?"
This place is indeed not the place to talk about this kind of thing, Chen Geng nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
After changing a secret room, Elliot Richardson also seemed to be much more relaxed, not as restrained as he was just now: "Fernandez, first of all, let me tell you one thing: inviting you to join the shares is a unanimous decision of all shareholders. ”
"Oh?"
Chen Geng just blinked, expressing surprise at this matter, as for more reactions, sorry, no.
As for why the shareholders of this defense contracting company, which has not yet been formally established, will collectively invite him to join the shares, Chen Geng is not clear for the time being, but this does not prevent Chen Geng from listening to what Elliot Richardson will say next.
Elliot Richardson did not sell it, and he went on to say frankly: "You have unattainable and eye-catching connections in the Soviet Union and in China, and local resources are very precious to us. ”
"You're very ambitious. Chen Geng smiled.
"I can't say that, I can only say that we have ambitious goals," Elliot Richardson also smiled: "Fernandez, the shareholders said that if you are willing to take a stake, you don't need to pay for it, as long as you can provide a batch of military equipment, such as L-39 trainers or Mi-8 helicopters." ”
Although the L-39 is only a jet military trainer aircraft, the actual combat capability is like that, but no matter how you say it, this is also a high-subsonic jet military aircraft with military combat capabilities, for military contractors this thing is simply an artifact, as for the old Maozi's Mi-8 helicopter, the status of this helicopter in the Soviet army is simply "Black Hawksky" The most critical point is that whether it is L-39 or Mi-8, compared to the US military's own active jet trainers and transport helicopters, they are too cheap!
During the internal discussion, everyone agreed that if Chen Geng was asked to purchase this batch of equipment, this guy would probably be able to buy an L-39 or Mi-8 for less than $1 million.
L-39 trainers and Mi-8 transport aircraft?
Although he knew that the other party's appetite was not small, Chen Geng was still a little surprised when Elliott Richardson said the shareholding requirements: these things are not something that can be obtained casually.
To be more precise, even the Bush family cannot easily acquire these things in large quantities.
However, Chen Geng did not mean to give up, in fact, after knowing the existence of the Bush family, Chen Geng was already a little moved, and was ready to intervene in it: after Bill Jr., the next US president still came from the Bush family, and as we all know, Bush Jr.'s favorite thing to do after taking office is to fight foreign wars.
Are you kidding?!
Chen Geng feels that perhaps this defense contracting company will become one of the most important sources of income for the Bush family in the next 10 years or so.
As for now......
Chen Geng said quietly: "These things are not so easy to get. ”
"That's why you've been invited to take a stake," Elliott Richardson replied with a smile, "and we're only inviting the strongest guys to join." ”
"Interesting," Chen Geng nodded: "What about the goal, how big are you going to be?"
Elliott Richardson said: "In ten years, we can have a place in the world's top five defense contractors, this goal is okay, right?"
Of course, this goal is possible, and it is very possible. Chen Geng pursed his lips: "I need to think about it." ”
"Of course, this is as it should be," Elliot Richardson said that he understood Chen Geng's choice very well, and he took out a document from his bag: "This information may be of some help to you, and ...... other"
"What?"
"You have a little gift for you," said Elliot Richardson with a mysterious expression, "I hope you enjoy it." ”
A gift for me?
Chen Geng was a little curious: what kind of gift would it be?
Chen Geng did not wait too long, and the next day, this "gift" was delivered to Chen Geng: in view of the increasing danger faced by American soldiers in riding HMMWV military vehicles, the Pentagon asked for more bulletproof capabilities for HMMWV military vehicles, and after knowing that AM General had designed and developed a special HMMWV bulletproof kit, the Pentagon directly waved its hand and purchased 10 sets at a price of $1.2 million to evaluate the performance of this bulletproof kit.
The $1.2 million order is, of course, nothing, but if the assessment passes, the Pentagon is ready to purchase bulletproof kits for all HMMWVs deployed overseas, with preliminary estimates, the total purchase amount is more than 30,000 units!
The unit price of each bulletproof kit is 120,000 US dollars, of course, if it is purchased in large quantities, the purchase unit price will definitely not be so high, but even so, the purchase unit price will not be less than 80,000 US dollars per set - don't say any public bidding, even if it is an open bidding, I don't know if there is a "companion" - the total value of 30,000 sets of HMMWV single kits is 2.4 billion US dollars, and after the top and bottom are finished, the actual profit that AMC can get will exceed 300 million US dollars!
It's definitely a big business!
Sure enough, the chicken still comes from the government's big order, which is more refreshing.
"This gift is indeed heavy enough. Chen Geng shook his head, but he still didn't make a decision in a hurry, because there was nothing to ...... before that
"Leilani," Chen Geng asked Leilani Taylor, "Is there any reaction from Nissan?"
"Boss, not yet. "Leilani Taylor's expression is not very good, she feels that she is being underestimated by Nissan.
Chen Geng didn't feel any surprise, he just nodded: "These Dongying people, they always don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin...... Are you ready for a gift for the people of Dongying?"
"Ready. ”
"Then you're welcome, I hope they will like this gift. ”
........................
Fox TV suddenly released a teaser, in which Fox TV claimed that they would cooperate with the famous automobile magazine "Car and Driver" in the United States to disassemble Japanese cars sold in the American market, so that the public can more accurately understand how far apart Japanese cars are from local American car brands in terms of workmanship and materials.
