Chapter 445: Don't be too expensive if you want to buy it

This is an "open secret" that has been kept secret for more than 20 years, as for how did Zhang Nan know?

It was a joke many years ago: Saudi tyrants came to China to buy missiles of sufficient weight, tonnage, and class, and anyway, there was no international agreement on "a maximum range of 300 kilometers and a 500-kilogram warhead". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The bigger, the better!

"Boss, can you sell me a few dozen Dongfeng 3 lines?

"Hmm...... This can be discussed. ā€

"You make a price, as long as you make a price, we will never counteroffer!"

The Gulf tyrant has US dollars, as soon as he thinks of this, our negotiator gritted his teeth in his heart, his heart was dark, he didn't speak, and directly stretched out a finger: it means 10 million US dollars a shot!

The Saudi tyrant was overjoyed at first sight: "Big brother is refreshing! I want 100 million shots, let's have thirty or fifty shots first!"

That dude almost got a heart attack.

Of course, the above is purely a Chinese folk joke, and Zhang Nan doesn't remember how many years he has heard this joke, anyway, at least 20 years or more.

The DF-3 medium-range ballistic missile, strategic-level, is clearly written in the Washington Post: NATO codename: CSS-2, is the first generation of surface-to-surface medium-range ballistic missiles developed by China in the 60s of the 20th century.

Test launched in December 1966, put into service in May 1971, has begun to decommission, the missile has a total length of 24 meters, a diameter of 2.25 meters, a take-off weight of 64 tons, the use of a first-class liquid fuel rocket engine, mobile launch, the maximum range of 2800 kilometers.

It can carry 1 nuclear warhead with a power of 100-3 million tons T-NT yield, with a hit accuracy of 1500-3000 meters.

If a heavy reinforced concrete city the size of Detroit were hit by a 3 million ton T-NT nuclear bomb, the city would be completely wiped off the map, and there would be no need to rebuild it.

Of course, the range of the Dongfeng 3 is not yet able to hit the continental United States.

With China as the center, the DF-3 strikes cover all of Japan, Guam, Southeast Asia, India, Central Asia, Iran, the entire Persian Gulf and the Strait of Malacca, as well as most of the Soviet Union and parts of Iraq.

This is only the most basic parameter, and this will allow Saudi Arabia to equip this missile, with a total number of about 35, which will greatly change the strategic deterrence pattern in the Middle East.

Ignoring other expenses, it's just $100 million a shot.

Guan Xingquan looked at the newspaper and said: "Even if the Saudis' missiles are not equipped with nuclear warheads, and a conventional warhead weighing two or three tons is built, the range will be more than 2,000 kilometers."

Needless to say, covering the entire Middle East, even Southern Europe is within its range, and Israel will go crazy. ā€

As soon as Israel goes crazy, needless to say, the U.S. government has to go crazy too.

It's too complicated over there!

"Don't think about nuclear bombs, the Saudis won't give any more money. ā€

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan said: "This is certain, that thing can't be sold." ā€

As he was talking, Guan Xingquan actually laughed, "Jenny, don't be angry. ā€

Jenny smiled and said, "Brother Guan, why am I angry? I don't dare to be interested in this political thing, it's been a mess for decades, and that's all there is to it in this world." ā€

"It's not the front, I'm taking precautions in advance. It's the American newspaper that's really powerful, and it says that its own government will be short-sighted.

I didn't think that there were all these twists and turns in this matter, and the U.S. government was blind to this trip. ā€

Hearing Guan Xingquan's words, Jenny said disapprovingly: "Some people in Washington are short-sighted and arrogant, and others ask for a face to come to the door, can't we buy it in another place if we have money?"

Why did Jenny say that her government's flowers were bad?

The United States can scold the president, and the newspaper says that Washington will be a rat's eye and arrogance, and as a result, he will shoot himself in the foot!

In the 80s, in the face of the dual threats of Israel and Iran, Saudi Arabia believed that it needed a "weapon that could raise the morale of our armed forces and people", a weapon that "must be weighed before attacking us"!

But I can't make it myself, what should I do?

There is a way! What we have is money, buy!

But here's the problem.

There are still ways to deal with airplanes or something, but the "weapons that others weigh and weigh" are not capable of a few fighters that can carry a few bombs, and it is better to have ballistic missiles that are difficult to intercept!

The longer the range, the faster the end of the ballistic missile, and it is better to separate the warhead and the body at the final attack stage: the Americans have the "Patriot" and "Standard 2", and this Saudi Arabia knows.

The air defense weapons that the United States has are basically owned by the Israelis, and the Saudi tyrants also have to take precautions: those two types of air defense missiles are said to be able to intercept short-range "single-body, warhead inseparable" ballistic missiles such as the "Scud."

At least that's what the Americans brag about.

Although the Saudi tyrants have money, they will also find that some things are really rich and have nowhere to buy them all of a sudden!

The Saudi tyrants on the Soviet side don't even think about it, even if the world's best-selling "Scud" doesn't smash his head, he still wants to buy it?

It is estimated that he will be laughed to death by Maozi!

"The first power in the universe"?

The relationship is not good, and I can't count on it.

I can only go to the United States first?

The newspaper wrote: A few years ago, an important figure in Saudi Arabia visited the United States and tentatively proposed to buy "Lance" missiles with a maximum range of only 130 kilometers, but the United States directly refused.

What to do?

There are not many countries in the world that can build ballistic missiles, and even fewer have enough weight, tonnage, and range: this comes to mind, and I think of China, which has not yet established diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia.

After several "secret contacts," the "secret" delegation sent by Saudi Arabia last year was reportedly warmly welcomed and received at a high level in China, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Saudi Arabia decided to order a certain number of DF-3 medium-range ballistic missiles in the form of cash payment, with a total contract amount of 3.5 billion US dollars!

"Anan, it seems that Huaxia has not established diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia, right?"

Guan Xingquan finished reading the newspaper and asked.

"Nope. ā€

"How much foreign exchange reserves does Huaxia have now?"

"The year before last, it was more than 2 billion, and last year it was less than 3 billion. ā€

Zhang Nan remembers this very clearly, and what is even clearer is that it will be more than 3 billion this year, about 5.5 billion next year, and it will not exceed 10 billion US dollars in 90 years.

"35 missiles for $3.5 billion, this business is done!"

Guan Xingquan was of course glad that Huaxia could make a lot of money with arms, and the profits were also high.

It's higher than selling tanks, planes, and artillery!

"Of course it's easy to do, I think if you count all the miscellaneous expenses, this is at least 10 times more profit.

However, it didn't count the original R&D expenses, so Saudi Arabia, a big company, bought Dongfeng 3, which is actually a big profit. ā€

If you want to buy a product that you can't make and has no other branches, you don't have to be too expensive, and people don't give you a careful calculation of the R&D costs.

R&D, human knowledge is sometimes cheap, and sometimes it is priceless and cannot be bought by money.

Well, Huaxia is making money, and the waist of the Saudi tyrant is also stiffened: even if there is no nuclear warhead, it is enough to choke two or three tons of high-explosive warheads.

The accuracy of the hit is not bad, there is no way, it was originally intended for a megaton nuclear warhead. But as long as it is aimed at the big city, the other party also has to weigh it.

A two- or three-ton warhead is not a "T-NT soap block" for making a movie, it would be really earth-shattering.

However, Zhang Nan estimated that his troubles were also coming: it was clearly written in the newspapers that many interest groups in the United States were clamoring for sanctions against China and Saudi Arabia, and that he was a Chinese and a new immigrant, and it was not necessary that he would be monitored.

I have invested a lot in Huaxia, and those CIA and FBA in the United States are not good mallets, so I have to be careful.

"What do you and Nicole think?"

When Jenny heard this, she said: "At present, the assets in China are not moving much for the time being, and it is no problem to invest in China, Canada, Australia and Africa, and it is okay to enter Japan to make money, but the transfer of China must be strictly controlled."

Also, it would be better for us to get a few points in a third-party country to leave some funds and materials for retreat. ā€

By "domestic," Jenny is referring to the United States.

Zhang Nan thought for a while, "Just Switzerland, the gold I brought back this time will be deposited in the bank there, and the funds from the sale of gold in South Africa will also go into the bank in Switzerland." Also, for the time being, we will try to put the next things in Switzerland. ā€

said and patted his head: It's really a person floating in the rivers and lakes, how can he not be knifed!

Too much money to cause trouble.

Guan Xingquan said: "It is necessary to prepare a few more nests, in front of the state apparatus, the power of the individual is too small." ā€

Jenny was also a little worried, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over this time.

"Recently, you try not to go back to Huaxia, the tree is very popular, I'm talking about Washington. ā€

Washington, Huasheng-Dun, Americans are used to calling it that, and Zhang Nan is the same.

"Yes, I don't have time to go back this year. Even our security company has recently been in the United States to take the lives of this big family, and it may be even more difficult in the next few years. ā€

Eastern Europe will change dramatically, the Soviet Union will disintegrate, and the United States will not use China as an "ally" to fight against the Soviet Union. According to the moral character of the US Government, China will face a relatively difficult international environment for a while.

And Zhang Nan, a patriotic Chinese, will also have a difficult life, he can't do things as he wants, he has to clamp his tail and make money honestly.

There are too many small actions, and those CIA and FBA in the United States will definitely not let themselves live comfortably.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and no one can stop it. It's a big deal that the United States can't stay, let's go back to China to live!

The investment in my hometown is enough for us to live 8 lifetimes. ā€

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan asked Jenny: "If there is such a day, would you like me to go to Huaxia with me?"

Jenny leaned herself on Zhang Nan and said, "Silly question! Nicole and I invested more than 1 billion yuan in Japan, and that money will not be put in Asia and will not be transferred back to the United States."

There are dozens of accounts, and even if the United States and Japanese governments want to, they can't close them, can't find them, and can't figure them out, and the way out has already been prepared.

We are engaged in finance, and the government is also aware of those things.

But you can also rest assured, as long as you don't transfer funds to Huaxia for the time being, Washington will not do anything to you, otherwise the economy will not be able to bear it, and you will lose a lot. ā€

Nearly 10 billion yuan of funds are in the stock market and futures, and if Washington makes trouble for Zhang Nan, as soon as this news is released, the US financial market will be in turmoil: Washington will not do loss-making business.

In fact, Zhang Nan already has the capital of "if you want to move me, you have to weigh it first", which is still with American characteristics.
