Chapter 801: Arms Trade (3)
Yao Yi said with a smile: "Yes, the matter of oil is a very important thing, but now the more important thing is to help me sell arms, my current arsenal is full of all kinds of munitions, especially various types of Soviet-style tanks, missile launchers, multiple rocket launchers, as well as Soviet-style fighters, submarines, as well as Soviet aircraft carriers, old aircraft carriers of the United States, and various ships supporting them, in short, I want to basically sell all the weapons and equipment I have now." ”
Prince James looked at Yao Yi incredulously and said, "Duke Yao, if we sell all these weapons and equipment, how can we protect our commercial interests in the future? Besides, as you said, how can we sell all of our arms at once, even if we are willing to sell, but no one in the world can afford to buy them, which is a huge expense." ”
Yao Yi said with a smile: "I know this, but some countries have oil, we can let them exchange it for oil, diamonds, or ore, in short, as long as they are willing to buy it, they can use their resources in exchange." ”
Prince James thought for a while and said: "Well, in the countries of our Commonwealth, I will look through my connections to see if any countries are willing to buy, in fact, I think the best way is to invite heads of state to participate in the arms exhibition, to see with their own eyes, if they see these weapons, maybe they will buy them as soon as they are happy, and we will save a lot of trouble." ”
Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "I have also considered this issue, but now I am a little worried about the United Nations arms embargo, many countries want to buy it, but they can't buy it through open channels." Besides, the sale of weapons is a matter of great concern to the media in various countries around the world, especially some media with ulterior motives, which are likely to take advantage of this matter to hype up and serve certain political parties with ulterior motives. ”
Prince James said: "That's for sure, but let's not ignore that the real big arms purchases are still some of the rich countries in the Middle East, and those sanctioned countries can't have strong purchasing power, and for the sales of these countries, we can make use of some arms dealers, so to speak, their arms sales channels, go deep into various places, for them, the United Nations ban is just a blank slate." ”
Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "That's it, you can sell as much as you can through your channels, forget it if you can't sell it, I'll think of other ways, as for this weapons fair, I can try it and see how it works, you help me keep an eye on the media, and I must deal with the media." ”
Prince James said: "Actually, we don't have to worry about the media at all, because the media is just talking about it, for them, what we need is to attract the attention of the people, get the advertising money, we can find a few strong media, promote for us, become the back-of-the-scenes supporters of these media, even if some of the media voice doubts, we have our own media to help us speak." ”
Yao Yi smiled: "It seems that you are already familiar with this aspect." ”
Prince James said: "In fact, these media are just the mouthpieces of those conglomerates, and it is the people who are fooled, and the big conglomerates and big forces who help them speak, and they simply have no sense of justice and justice." Alas, not to mention, let me 'hand' over the media to ensure that nothing happens, and besides, I will also 'hand' over the publicity work of this arms exhibition, and I will only need two months to be able to spread the advertising and publicity, and invite all the dignitaries I know to come over and participate in our arms exhibition, and maybe our weapons will be sold. ”
After Yao Yi heard this, he said: "In this way, the entire work of this weapons exhibition will be 'handed over' to you, and when the time comes, when the exhibition starts, I will personally go to the town." ”
Prince James thought for a while and said: "In this way, I think it's better not to come forward, what you need to do is to negotiate a contract with some big buyers, which involves a lot of interests and political relations, we can't talk about things like this, only you decide." As for some small transactions, we can decide it ourselves, so we don't bother you, we can handle it ourselves. I have one more piece of advice, though. ”
Yao Yi smiled and said, "What suggestions?"
Prince James said: "Prince Goldwin of Switzerland is now destitute, and I am sure he will be absolutely happy if you ask him to help Zhang Luo with this arms exhibition." Besides, at the moment he is also the manager of your arsenal in the city of Sina, and he is also in the right position, so we can divide the work together, I am in charge of publicity, he is in charge of the whole exhibition and the negotiation of some small arms trade, so that I also have time to free up my hands to manage the oil business. ”
Yao Yi smiled and thought: "You, Prince James, are really smart, the reason why I don't want to do this matter myself is because I am afraid of being condemned by the international community, and you yourself are worried about this matter, so you have to find a stand-in to do it, in case there is a problem, someone will help you come out to take the blame." ”
In fact, whether it is for Yao Yi or Prince James, it is not a very good thing to sell arms to the outside world on a large scale, especially under the condition that the United Nations has a partial ban, it is even more inappropriate.
Even if James uses the media to avoid a crisis, sometimes things are uncertain, and if something happens, he can't afford to lose.
Yao Yi looked at Prince James and said: "In this way, you should know very well the relationship between me and Prince Godward, I will 'hand' this matter to you, and you will arrange tasks for Goldward, for the sake of money, I believe that Goldward will help you." But if I had asked him to do it, I'm afraid he would have to think twice, and he wouldn't necessarily want to. ”
After listening to this, Prince James said with a smile: "Hehe, I understand this, last month, this Prince Godward also borrowed money from me, I think he borrowed it for the sake of helping me before, and he can only increase his income if he does a good job in this arms exhibition, otherwise, I am afraid that he will continue to be poor." ”
Yao Yi said with a smile: "I won't 'worry' about this matter, the location of the exhibition is at the military airport in Sina City, and you can arrange the specific work." At the beginning of the exhibition, I would secretly go to Sina City to have a good talk with some big customers. ”
