811 The $9.6 million missile defense system is too cheap

"They haven't heard from them for so long! Xie Kai, you said they wouldn't just forget it, wouldn't they buy it?" Zheng Yucheng ran to the capital office in the past two days, and he didn't know what to do, as soon as he saw Xie Kai, he asked Xie Kai.

It made Xie Kai's head very big.

He couldn't even participate in the first Global Game Championship Tournament on the Xiangjiang side, so he had no choice but to recall Liu Dongsheng from Ukraine.

The world's first game festival, Xie Kai single-handedly facilitated, and he couldn't witness it with his own eyes, just because of this old guy!

"No news, no news. We are not short of money now!" Xie Kai said angrily, "It's a good holiday, and you've been messed up like this." ”

"If I don't implement it, I won't be able to sleep this night!" Zheng Yucheng frowned, "If there is no such thing, we are not in a hurry." ”

"Then you should quickly withdraw the funds from the Japanese market!" Xie Kai didn't want to talk to Zheng Yucheng, "Don't disturb me, I'll go to sleep!"

"Labor Day, you have to work!" Zheng Yuchengcai disagreed, and directly dragged Xie Kai to help the cleaners in the office clean up with him.

Xie Kai was so angry that he wanted to slap the old guy back to Qilian Mountain.

Labor Day, that's because it's time to take a break after normal labor......

Anyway, he also knew that Zheng Yucheng, the old guy, was here, so he didn't want to be happy.

Even if you want to find a chance to go out and about, you can't do it.

The old lady is now in the Soviet Union most of the time, either Ukraine or Russia, and this time she also came back, I originally wanted to meet the old lady, but Liu Xu made a family relationship with several Soviet aunts for her business, and the worst thing is that the old lady took those Soviet aunts to China to visit her garment factory or something......

Does Xie Kai still dare to go?

In fact, the more he waited, the more bottomless Xie Kai's heart became, he was afraid that Saudi Arabia would really give up.

On May 1, 1987, on the International Labor Street, workers from all over the world were holding a grand celebration.

However, the war broke out again in North and South Yemen, which had not yet been reunified, because Saudi Arabia had previously mobilized military supplies to expand aid to North Yemen at the request of the North Yemeni government to help them complete the reunification of the country by force.

In protest, the South Yemeni government asked the Soviet Union for greater military assistance and ordered border troops to be on increased alert to avoid a surprise attack by the North Yemeni army.

South Yemen, which has stopped its military conflict with Oman, is in turmoil and the hardliners in power are naturally unwilling to be taken away from them.

As a result, a soldier on duty was slapped by the officer because he was dozing off, and the soldier who was still in a state of confusion thought that the other party was coming, and immediately carried a gun and shot at the other side of the border......

War broke out.

The South Yemeni government believed that this was a Saudi conspiracy, so the six Scud missile launch systems sold by the Soviet Union to South Yemen were used, and 12 Scud missiles flew to the southern Saudi military town of Alwahad, and not only that, but the troops on the South Yemeni border also moved into Saudi territory after the missile strike......

The news quickly spread to the world, but not much attention was paid to the countries that were celebrating.

It is the governments of Europe and the United States that are in a hurry.

Because the price of oil is going to rise again!

"We must increase aid to South Yemen so that they can continue to fight the war and continue, so that the price of oil will continue to rise and our funding problem can be effectively solved!" Some people in the Soviet Union were happy.

They can already foresee that international oil prices are slowly rising.

The Iran-Iraq war broke out for so many years, and at first the international oil price rose wildly, and in the end, Saudi Arabia and other countries desperately increased oil extraction to control the international oil price.

"We must put an end to the war as soon as possible! If we can't, let our people go, and once the war continues, the Soviet economy will improve again!" The excitement of the top level of the United States is different from that of the top level of the Soviet Union.

As a result, Saudi Arabia, which originally just wanted to get rid of a Patriot missile system, would not have thought that things would have developed like this.

However, Europe and the United States intervened, so what does this have to do with them, anyway, before the missile attack in South Yemen, their people had already withdrawn, and under the attack of 12 Scud missiles, only one soldier forgot that he was no longer in their barracks because he peed in the middle of the night, fell to the ground, and broke his head.

"Saudi Arabia is at war, who are they fighting against?Persia?Israel?" Xie Kai was made to jump by the news conveyed by Zheng Yucheng.

In the Middle East, if you don't agree with each other, you can do it.

Saudi Arabia doesn't have missiles right now.

"South Yemen!" Zheng Yucheng's words made Xie Kai completely incredible.

South Yemen is only a big place, and they have been fighting all the time, and they are so poor that they can't even afford to buy bullets, how can they go to fight Saudi Arabia?

"As soon as this battle is fought, international oil prices will have to rise. Especially in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, if you don't do it, it will be blocked by missiles......" Zheng Yucheng said with a sigh. "The constant attacks on ships in the Persian Gulf have kept international oil prices high, and now if there is another problem in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the price of oil will have to go crazy......

"The crazy rise has nothing to do with us, anyway, now our country doesn't need to import crude oil, and it is a good thing that the price will rise more, so that our foreign exchange can increase a lot. Xie Kai didn't realize it at all.

He would not have thought that this was triggered by his demand that Saudi Arabia must provide a Patriot missile defense system.

Of course, the Saudi side prefers to see international oil prices rise.

Sell oil.

The price of oil has risen, even if a barrel only rises by three or five dollars, they can extract so much oil, and their profits can increase by tens of billions of dollars a year, why not?

Let the world's oil consumers pay for their missiles.

"I'm sorry to help those foreign capitalists? Unfortunately, our country is not a big oil exporter. Zheng Yucheng sighed with emotion, "Now, the deal is estimated to be in vain." ”

"No, it's a more secure deal. Xie Kai said, "There is a war, Saudi Arabia needs more weapons and equipment!"

Zheng Yucheng didn't believe it at all, "If it's a fight with Persia or Israel, you still need it." How big is South Yemen?"

"Behind South Yemen is the Soviet Union, which is now supported by the sale of oil and gas, the Iran-Iraq war has given them a breather, and now international oil prices are rising, and the more they rise, the more in line with their national interests. ”

One old and one young is completely in the mood of watching the excitement.

Anyway, no matter how much international oil prices rise, it will be difficult to affect China's economic development in this era.

China has not yet become a net importer of oil.

What Xie Kai didn't expect was that on the third day of the outbreak of the war in Yemen, Rafata appeared in front of him.

"Colonel, your country is at war!" Xie Kai was surprised.

As an assistant to Prince Sultan, when the country was employing people, he actually came to China.

"Thank you, our prince is also here, and I hope to talk to you about weapons procurement!" Lafata was not polite, "We must get the missile defense system as soon as possible!"

"......" Xie Kai didn't know how to express his feelings.

He was even a little unhappy with Lafata, acting so eagerly, didn't he force himself to rip off the bamboo?

How bad it is to rip off bamboo!

Xie Kai felt that the other party was too much, and if he didn't knock them off, it would be intolerable.

But if you take advantage of the fire to rob, it is too immoral.

Zheng Yucheng couldn't understand Arabic, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw that this kid was still going to handle it, he almost slapped him.

"What do I want?"

"It's been shipped. Lafata said calmly.

"North and South Yemen are dry, it can't be because of your system, right?" Xie Kai suddenly had such a strange idea.

South Yemen fired 12 Scud missiles at a small town in Saudi Arabia that the world doesn't know about!

Was this launched by South Yemen, or did the Saudis let them take the blame?

"We're going to want to talk about trading now. Displeasure appeared on Lafata's face, "The preconditions you asked, we have already delivered. ”

"Where is His Royal Highness?" Xie Kai asked, "Has he also come to China?"

Lafata nodded, motioning for Xie Kai to follow him.

It's still a Hongqi car, it's still a high-end villa, and it's still a high-standard security ......

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come to China at this time. Xie Kai saw that the prince had a calm face, and he didn't know how to say hello.

Paralyzed, their country is at war.

But think about it, the harder you fight, the higher the Saudi Arabia's oil revenue.

South Yemen is so small that it can't withstand a few hits.

"What you want, we provide, now, we can talk about your arms deal. The prince didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point. "That kind of missile defense system, we want 100 sets, equipped with a considerable number of missiles...... 400 missiles with a range of 480 km, 1,000 missiles with a range of 240 km......"

The more Xie Kai listened, the more rapid his breathing became.

It's all money.

And not for small money.

But the other party's demeanor and tone of the other party don't seem to be buying billions of dollars, just like buying cabbage.

Big dogs, they really don't treat money as money!

"Xie, these things, you can provide them, right? There won't be any more problems, right?" The prince was very satisfied with Xie Kai's expression with his eyes shining, "You can introduce the price first!"

They must be slaughtered!

"Feidun-359, a set of $9.6 million ......" In the end, Xie Kai still did not quote a price of more than $10 million.

"$9.6 million?" the prince frowned and looked at the Rafata on the side.

Xie Kai lowered his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, this price can't be less. Although it is a missile defense system, it also has offensive capabilities. The barrel in front of the tank is a ...... for firing anti-armor missiles"

Previously Lafata said that no more than 10 million dollars, they can all accept.

Xie Kai thought that 9.6 million US dollars, a difference of 400,000, is not less.

That's several times more than the cost price......

"Didn't you say it would cost more than 10 million dollars?" the prince looked at Lafata with some anger.

Actually deceived himself!

"Your Highness, if you are too cheap, why don't we raise the price again?" Xie Kai asked in an interfering voice.
