Zheng Xudong was also shocked when he heard Matiev say that a minute of shooting from the Phalanx close-defense artillery would cost $450,000!

Zheng Xudong was still thinking about waiting until he bought this dense close defense cannon back and secretly found a place to cool off, but when he heard that it would cost $450,000 a minute, he was surprised that his mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time. Speaking to Sanzar Matiev, he said: "It seems that this game is really not something that ordinary people can afford to play. ”

"yes, that's why I said this is a big toy that you rich people can afford, and its whole system is two meters long, two meters wide, and six meters high, and this is its introduction book. After saying that, Sanzar Matiev took out a beautifully bound color atlas from his suitcase, Zheng Xudong just flipped through it briefly, the most important thing was to look at its appearance, he introduced while looking at Matiev, the top nearly two-meter-high cylinder is the heart of the entire system, radar and computer, used to automatically search for incoming targets, and then send commands to the weapon system below, it can respond within four seconds, and then defend. On average, a target consumes 200 rounds of ammunition. If five targets are attacked at the same time, a base number of ammunition (1550 rounds) is required to ensure the safety of the ship. That's $150,000, and it's all launched in 20 seconds.

"Then what if you can't stop it?" asked Zheng Xudong.

"Mr. Zheng, I won't say those things that deceive you just to sell this Phalanx close defense artillery defense system, it's really not perfect as you say. Moreover, in the past 20 years of its service, there have also been many times when the system did not work when the target was attacked, or the friendly target was mistakenly hit, and this kind of accident can be found on the Internet as soon as it is checked, so I will not repeat it here. I want to say that this system has been used more than a dozen times in tens of thousands of times, and only the accident rate of 1 in 1,000 to 2 in 1,000 has occurred, if you can accept it, I will talk about its price next. "Sanzar Matiev is a good talker, and he does not shy away from accidents with the Phalanx close-in artillery system, but uses the probability of accidents to illustrate the excellent performance of this system.

"Well, you say the price, if there is no problem I decided to buy a set. Zheng Xudong said briskly.

"Mr. Zheng, our latest MK-15 Block 1B Phalanx close-in artillery system costs $32 million without ammunition. I just said that a base amount of ammunition would cost $150,000. As I said earlier, three cardinal ammunition can be fired for one minute. So usually we start selling three base ammo. ”

"Can't this ammunition be cheaper?" asked Zheng Xudong.

"It can't be cheaper, these shells are shell-piercing shells, the projectile has no charge, it is made of depleted uranium, it can greatly improve its armor-piercing performance, so this ammunition really can't be cheaper, but we have a package you can choose from. ”

"Oh?!, let's hear it. ”

"One system plus 30 base ammunition for a total of $35 million. Considering that you are a new user of ours, if you choose this package, I can make the decision to give you the ten Stinger missile systems and twenty missiles you bought for $320,000 just now, Mr. Zheng, do you think this discount is okay?" Zheng Xudong heard Sanzar Matiev's offer was really tempting. The shells of the thirty base are 4.5 million US dollars, plus the MK-15 Block 1B Phalanx close defense artillery system costs 32 million US dollars, a total of 36.5 million US dollars, plus 320,000 US dollars Stinger missiles, this single total is 36.82 million US dollars, and Raytheon only collects 35 million US dollars, exempting 1.82 million US dollars, which can be regarded as okay. If this matter is discussed by Hillary's old lady, it may not be possible to directly collect $40 million. And he can't bargain yet, and now people have given him a value-for-money package, which also costs money but makes him feel very comfortable.

"Well, Mr. Matiev, your excellent eloquence has conquered me, and I decided to buy it. Or like the Stinger missiles, you send them to the warehouse of my Nevada ranch. ”

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zheng. Sanzar Matiev interrupted him and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, with all due respect, this system can only be used after we send engineers and technicians to install it on your ship for you and debug it personally, otherwise it will be a pile of scrap metal worth $35 million in warehouses!"

"Xiao Ai, can you use this system?" Zheng Xudong hurriedly asked Xiao Ai in his mind.

"No problem, the most valuable thing about this system is the radar and computer, I can crack these and make it make zero mistakes in the process of using it! Don't worry!" Xiao Ai replied in his mind.

Hearing Xiao Ai say this, he said to Sanzar Matiev: "Mr. Matiev, you know that I originally planned to install this system on my large yacht, but now I have decided to put this system first, otherwise the yacht will become a warship and it will be very troublesome to go out to play, and when I have played with this yacht one day, I will find your engineer to install it on the yacht." If it's really dangerous, don't I still have your Stinger missiles?"

Sanzar Matiev did not speak for a while when he heard his words, and after taking a few sips of coffee, he said seriously: "Mr. Zheng, I know that you are Chinese, but what I want to say is that this system is prohibited from selling to China, I hope you can understand that if you want to ship it to your country, the United States will not agree to it, and will not allow it to leave the country." I'd like to state this in advance here. And after the sale, we at Raytheon will not admit that we have ever sold this system to you. This is a prerequisite for our business to be closed this time. ”

Zheng Xudong fell silent after listening to his words, sat in his chair and smoked a cigar and thought silently, he must buy the Phalanx close defense artillery defense system, and he doesn't know when he wants to buy it after losing this opportunity, he believes that with the development of his career, there are more and more enemies, after all, blocking people's money is like killing parents, and those American capitalists even dare to kill President Kennedy for their great cause of making money, not to mention that he is a foreign citizen! Therefore, no matter how strict the protection measures are, it is necessary to prepare in advance, and it will be difficult to buy these things when everyone is really red-eyed. As for your Raytheon Company, we don't admit that the Phalanx close-in defense artillery system was sold from you, hmph! People are willing to believe it! Just like the mainland of the United States was bombed by B2 stealth bombers, and Boeing killed it and did not admit that the B2 was sold by them, the ghost believes you!

Thinking of this, Zheng Xudong said to Sanzar Matiev: "Mr. Matiev, I agree to your conditions. Tell me how to pay?"

Sanzar Matiev didn't expect Zheng Xudong to agree to such harsh conditions, obviously a little unbelievable, and was stunned for more than ten seconds before saying: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I just lost my temper, the best way to pay for the question of payment is, of course, to pay in cash, if it's really inconvenient, you can also transfer money." ”

"Then when do you see the transfer?"

"Mr. Zheng, if you believe in a company like Raytheon, you can transfer money now, and of course you can transfer the money after receiving the goods after the inspection is completed. Sanzar Matiev said confidently.

"Mr. Matiev, I am working with you for the first time with Raytheon, and it would be a lie and a lie to say that I have confidence in you. Since you can pay on delivery, I will transfer the money to you within 24 hours after receiving your goods. What do you think?"

Sanzar Matiev stretched out his hand to Zheng Xudong and said: "Deal! Thank you for your trust in our Raytheon products, and you will definitely be satisfied with your choice today in the future." ”

Zheng Xudong shook his hand and said: "Now you give me your company's account number, you call me after receiving the goods, I will send someone to inspect the goods, if there is no problem, you can transfer the money." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, from now on you are a high-quality customer of our Raytheon Company, you can call me if you need anything in the future. As long as we can do it, we will serve you wholeheartedly. Sanzar Matiev said with a sincere face.

"Alright, Mr. Matiev, there are still five or six hours to get to Abu Dhabi, you can rest for a while, and I will go to sleep. After speaking, Zheng Xudong called the stewardess Hannah, "Mr. Matiev, you can tell Hannah if you have anything." ”

Zheng Xudong stood up and walked to the room behind the plane.

There is a room at the back of the plane Zheng Xudong only found out until the flight attendant Hannah told him, and after opening the door, he saw a bedroom with an area of about 20 square meters, a double bed in the middle of the bedroom, and a private bathroom inside, which can take a bath. He quickly took off his clothes, took a cold shower in the shower, and then lay on the bed for a short time before falling asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a bright spot in the sky outside the airplane's string window, and he looked at the electronic watch on the bedside table, and realized that he had just slept for four hours, and it was almost dawn outside. Four hours of sleep was enough for him.

There are still more than two hours before the plane can land, and there is nothing to do, I can see Sean outside the cabin with a clairvoyant eye, and Raytheon representative Madikov are sleeping with blankets, and even the two flight attendants are sleeping soundly, only the co-pilot is on duty on the plane, and the plane is on autopilot.

After getting up, I first cleaned up my personal hygiene in the bathroom, took a shower, and then said to Xiao Ai in my mind: "Xiao Ai, have you woken up?"

"Master, I don't need to sleep. Xiao Ai said in his mind.

"Great, Xiao Ai, how much cash was in the vault of that third son of the Russian gangster, Kirill Mashkov, last night?

"It has been checked, and the dollar is 20 boxes, a total of 80 million, and the other currencies are also 28 boxes with a face value of 115 million, totaling less than 200 million US dollars. There were also five boxes of gold bricks with a total of 100 pieces, each of which was 10 kilograms, making a total of 1,000 kilograms of gold. As for other jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, swords, sculptures, etc., you need to take them out and have them appraised to know how much they are in total. In addition to cash and gold, other antique jewelry is conservatively estimated to be worth about $300 million. ”

"Well, this third son has been pulling family property into his pocket all these years!" Zheng Xudong said with emotion.
