It's just inhumane!

If it was sold to Silly Damu, at this price, the other party would probably jump up early, and it would be too cheap.

"Your Highness, this is just my guess......" Lafata realized his problem, and he told Xie Kai that even if it cost tens of millions of dollars, they could accept it.

In order to make the negotiations easier, and to leave some leeway for the prince, it is estimated that it will cost more than 10 million dollars.

This can't be blamed on him, the M1 tank of the Americans, they want to buy it, the offer is 12 million dollars, not to say, not to sell!

China's Flying Shield-359, no matter how you look at it, is it better than the M1 tank?

Who knew that the price of the Chinese was so low?

"What about the price of missiles?" Prince Sultan glared at Lafata and asked Xie Kai about the price of missiles.

The Chinese will definitely temporarily raise prices.

"The 480-kilometer range of the Dihongqi-2 is priced at $2 million, and the Dihongqi-1 is priced at $750,000,......" Xie Kai increased.

Really, it's not that his heart isn't black enough, it's that he feels like he's too immoral.

His conscience allowed him to raise the price to this number.

This is already very against the sky.

The sale of the Dihongqi-2 to Iraq is only $1.8 million a shot, and if the price rises too much, there will be no reason to wash it down at that time, and it will affect the harmonious relations between the two sides, right?

In particular, he forced others to provide a set of US Patriot missile defense systems.

In order to provide this missile system, don't you see that everyone has paid a huge cost?

Although the benefits they get far outweigh the losses.

Prince Sultan's brows furrowed again, and Xie Kai chuckled in his heart, did they know the price of selling to Iraq?

If so, it won't be easy, although it will only add $200,000 a piece.

For these two missiles, Saudi Arabia will also pay more than $200 million.

"Sure enough, poverty limits my imagination!" Xie Kai sighed in his heart, because he was poor, so he didn't dare to raise the price more, for fear that in the end it would be difficult to reach cooperation because the price was too high.

"So?" Sultan's brow twisted into a Sichuan character.

His Majesty the King gave him a budget of $5 billion, and it would not be good not to spend it all.

But now it seems that the Chinese's weapons and equipment are not expensive, five billion dollars, can sell a lot of things, buy too much is not good for national defense, too much arming, this will cause serious pressure on the surrounding countries, making the stability of the Middle East, which is not very peaceful, even more worrisome.

"Your Highness, don't you think it's a bit expensive? These missiles are indeed slightly higher than the previous price, but the technology has been improved and the accuracy is higher...... At the same time, with the development of China's economy, the cost of production is also increasing; in order to ensure accuracy, the production technology and equipment are upgraded and updated...... "Xie Kai thought that the other party was too expensive, and hurriedly began to explain.

He somewhat regretted that he had raised the price too much.

The 650,000 pieces of the Dihongqi-1 rose to $750,000, which is not too high.

But if the other party doesn't speak, he can't help but let Xie Kai's heart beat a drum.

"What about the 359 tank?" asked Lafata, helping the prince.

The Flying Shield-359 system, the appearance is the 359 tank camouflage, it is not deployed, it is strictly secret, no one knows that this is a missile defense system, and it can only be attacked by surprise.

So, to camouflage, you have to have tanks.

"$2.8 million for a car!" Xie Kai really didn't dare to increase the price again.

A large part of the money that Silly Damu spent on tanks and missiles was supported by Saudi Arabia.

"What about rocket artillery?" asked the prince.

"A rocket costs $200,000, and the launch system and ammunition supply system are ...... separately," Xie Kai thought for a moment and said.

The price of 273mm rocket artillery is not high, this thing is not like a missile, it needs to rely on precision guidance to accurately hit the target, and it completely relies on large-scale intensive shooting to destroy the target.

The price is too high, no one can afford it, right?

"How much is a system?" "The prince didn't like to calculate it alone, "I lost the ammunition." ”

"$2.4 million!" Xie Kai quickly calculated in his mind, and then quoted the price.

Such a price is already very rebellious.

"Okay, Xie, let's think about it first, and you should also think about it again, let's talk again, how about it?" After the prince understood the price, he issued an order to evict customers.

Xie Kai had no choice but to leave first.

"What's going on? What do the other party want?" As soon as Xie Kai returned, Zheng Yucheng asked busily, "They are at war, and they should have urgent requirements for these weapon systems." ”

Seeing that Xie Kai didn't have that kind of joy of success on his face, the old man also chuckled in his heart, "Didn't they come to buy weapons?"

"It's true to buy weapons, I don't know if it's because we're too expensive, or if it's too cheap. Xie Kai said distressedly, and then told Zheng Yucheng the details of the meeting with the other party.

After hearing this, Zheng Yucheng almost jumped up in anger, "You said you! You have to raise the price at this time! Who wants to buy such a high price, and if you change it, are you willing? They have such a good relationship with Iraq, can they not know the price?"

"They have money! And this war with South Yemen has significantly increased international oil prices!" Xie Kai said aggrievedly.

Isn't he trying to make more money for the base?

Now, as the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union draws nearer, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for such large-scale weapons and equipment exports in the future.

With the collapse of the USSR, it will be easier to buy Soviet weapons and equipment on the global arms market, with enough money, even small mushroom shells are not a problem.

You have to get as many votes as you can before that.

"They have money, that's theirs!" Zheng Yucheng looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Let's engage in the military industry, just sell ours honestly, otherwise how can it last long in the future?"

"Saudi Arabia is not robbing the whole world......" Xie Kai felt that Zheng Yucheng was an old brain, "What's more, we don't have many strings attached." ”

Zheng Yucheng didn't want to reason with Xie Kai anymore.

Not many strings attached?

Patriot missile defense system, that's not an additional condition?

Not to mention that Zheng Yucheng and Xie Kai are worried, Prince Sultan is also worried, and even Lafata is also worried.

Because, no matter how they calculate, the weapons and equipment provided by China, unless they increase the scale of procurement, will not be able to bring the total contract value to $5 billion.

"Your Highness, 400 pieces of the Red Flag-2 type, according to the price they gave Iraq, is 720 million US dollars, 1,000 pieces of Type 1, 650 million, 100 sets of flying shield-359, only 960 million, 359 tanks, a maximum of 200 vehicles, this is only 560 million US dollars, and the rocket artillery can only be purchased at most 100 units, equipped with 5 battalions, which is already the limit, and this is only 240 million US dollars...... All of this adds up to only $3.13 billion...... "Lafata counted the prices of the weapons and equipment on the list.

It can't reach $5 billion.

Even, it is still far from 5 billion US dollars!

Prince Sultan was equally speechless, the weapons of the Chinese, too cheap.

It is not easy to spend all the five billion dollars given by the king.

"Your Highness, why don't you increase the number of these weapons in stock?" asked Prince Sultan.

Wang Ye smiled bitterly, "How much can it be increased? If the number is too large, it will cause panic in the countries around us, even the Flying Shield-359 missile defense system, their system is equipped with 12 anti-aircraft missiles and 8 armor-piercing bombs...... And these are common to their individual missiles...... There are 2,000 missiles in it, and if we increase the number of spare bombs......"

The corners of Lafata's mouth twitched.

100 sets of flying shield-359, in fact, there are more.

But this thing is the most expensive, plus many places in the country need anti-aircraft missile systems, otherwise where would you get such a quantity?

More importantly, the prince hopes that the Chinese can reduce the weapon system above, leave space, and increase the air conditioning system or something, so as to improve the combat environment of the soldiers......

The last thing to consider about Chinese weapons is whether the officers and soldiers are comfortable marching in them.

If there is no air conditioning to be a soldier, who would want to be a soldier in Saudi Arabia, which is already difficult to recruit soldiers?

"There are 1,200 rounds of anti-aircraft missiles in reserve, and one is only $80,000, which is only 100 million; and 800 anti-tank missiles are in reserve, which is more than 100 million...... Even if it is increased by five times......" the prince continued, "five ammunition bases, this is simply impossible, at most two!"

In other words, it is simply not advisable to increase the base of reserve ammunition.

If there is more ammunition, the whole Middle East will be in chaos, and everyone will think that Saudi Arabia wants to attack the entire Middle East, otherwise, why buy so many weapons?

They are just defensive!

"Or, let's talk to the Chinese?" Lafata didn't have any way.

In the past, when the Americans sold weapons and equipment to them, whatever they wanted, they would cost hundreds of millions of dollars for several sets.

The budget given by the king is not much, and the US military budget is hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

Saudi Arabia buys these weapons and equipment, and it will take many years!

"Go ahead! They want to raise the price, absolutely not, and they have to be asked to lower the falsely reported price back, otherwise they won't talk about it. The prince said, "Thinking that we have a lot of money, he slaughtered us indiscriminately!"

For this, the prince is extremely unhappy.

Lafata went to talk to Xie Kai personally, and they were very worried now.

If you sell too much, the prince will make a bad impression of the king, and if you sell too little, the king will think that the air defense force led by the prince cannot guarantee national security, and that the prince is incompetent......

It's hard!

"We had to find a way to get them to sign the contract as soon as possible, and now that we can't get the production plan done...... When the time comes, if they ask for a short delivery period, why can't they deliver at all......" Zheng Yucheng was worried.

Without waiting for Xie Kai to answer, someone reported that the Saudi colonel who had come to Xie Kai in the morning had come again.

"Thanks, you have to lower the price, according to the price at which it was sold to Iraq!" Lafata said to Xie Kai solemnly.

Xie Kai looked embarrassed, and finally said a lot of reasons, but seeing that the other party was not negotiable at all, he could only pretend to agree helplessly and painfully.

But when he said to sign the contract, Lafata's words suddenly made him almost vomit blood: "Xie, the problem now is that your weapons are too cheap, and according to the maximum quantity that can be purchased, they can't reach the contract amount of 5 billion US dollars, and they must reach 5 billion US dollars before they can sign the contract......
