In addition to seeing Sean on the plane, Zheng Xudong also had a white man in his forties in formal suits, blonde hair and a pair of gold-wire glasses, Zheng Xudong could see that this was a pair of flat mirrors. Navy blue suit, white shirt, sky blue tie, black leather shoes, and a brown suitcase in his hand.

Seeing Zheng Xudong get on the plane, he took the initiative to stand up, first introduced himself and said: "Mr. Zheng, hello, my name is Sanzar Matiev, and I am the sales representative of Raytheon. ”

As soon as Zheng Xudong heard about the "Thor" company, he immediately understood that this was to sell shipborne close defense guns, and when she met Hillary the day before yesterday, she mentioned this matter, and at that time he was a little hesitant to buy this thing, because the president of Boeing told him that if you install this thing, your ship will not be a merchant ship, but a warship, and it will also not be protected by the United Nations Convention on the Sea. The seaports of various countries are not accessible if you want to. At that time, he was embarrassed to refuse Hillary in person, and he wanted to find a chance to refuse after he came back, but now Raytheon has come to sell on the "machine", which is really dedicated!

"Mr. Matiev, I'm very sorry to let you come so late, you see I'm about to fly to Abu Dhabi, and I may not be able to talk to you about this Phalanx close defense gun today. You see, why don't we find another chance another day... Zheng Xudong refused more implicitly and tactfully.

But as if he didn't understand what he meant, Sanzar Matiev smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng, it's okay, I just happened to go to Abu Dhabi on an errand, and I want to take your plane with me, and I just happened to introduce you to our shipborne Phalanx close-in defense artillery system on the plane." Do you see how convenient it is?"

This Sanzar Matiev said so, what else does Zheng Xudong have to say, people come on the plane in the middle of the night to give you one-on-one sales, and after the sales, you will have to take a ticket from Abu Dhabi back to the United States, even if you don't buy it, you have to listen to what people say first.

"All right, Mr. Matieff, please take a seat, and then please come with me to Abu Dhabi. It's a long journey, Mr. Matiev, what do you want to drink? We have wine, coffee, mineral water here. ”

"Coffee, thank you!" said Sanzar Matiev.

Zheng Xudong turned to the flight attendant Hannah Page and said, "Yes, bring a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and a glass of red wine." ”

"Mr. Matiev, do you smoke?" Zheng Xudong said to him, pulling out two cigars.

"I don't smoke, but feel free!"

At this time, the time-traveling lady Hannah Peggy brought up the red wine and coffee, and at this time, Zheng Xudong saw Sean sitting in the rear of the plane and put down the luxurious sofa chair and was sleeping, and told Hannah to add a blanket to Sean to cover. Then he lit the cigar himself, took two puffs, and said slowly: "Mr. Matiev, in fact, since the last time Boeing President James McEnany told me that it was better not to install weapons on merchant ships, I was still hesitant to install them. But since you're here today, I'll listen to your introduction and then decide whether to buy it, what do you think?"

Sanzar Matiev didn't show a depressed look when he heard Zheng Xudong's words, but said: "It's okay, Mr. Zheng, whether to buy it or not, we're friends now, aren't we?" His words first gave the relationship between the two, Zheng Xudong nodded, "Mr. Zheng, since you have decided not to come down with the Phalanx close defense artillery system, I can first introduce you to our Stinger anti-aircraft missile, I heard that you still want to buy this product of our company." ”

This is true, at that time, Zheng Xudong did propose to buy this world's most famous anti-aircraft missile. "Okay, tell me about your product. ”

"Okay, Mr. Zheng, the Stinger is just its external name, in fact, it should be called the FIM-92C anti-aircraft missile when it leaves the factory, and it was first used to support Afghanistan in the fight against Soviet tyranny. At that time, the Afghan anti-Soviet fighters used it to shoot down more than 300 Soviet planes in a year, almost one plane a day, of course, mainly helicopters, with an accuracy rate of more than 90 percent. Over the years, we at Raytheon have improved it, reducing its size and weight, and strengthening its automatic guidance function, so that you can avoid guiding it after aiming and launching, and it will automatically track the target you have been aiming at. Of course, in addition to air targets, it can also hit armored vehicles, small infantry vehicles, small tanks, bunkers and other buildings on the ground. With a length of 1.52 meters and a weight of 15.7 kilograms, the system is compact and lightweight, and can be operated by a single soldier. A set of two anti-aircraft missiles, one installed in the launcher, and then the other on hand. Its effective range is 4800 meters, the height is 3800 meters, and the flight speed has reached Mach 2.2, which is twice the speed of sound. ”

"Mr. Matiev, you seem to have forgotten to introduce its price, I don't think you gave it to me for nothing, did you?"

After listening to Zheng Xudong's words, Sanzar Matiev smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, you are laughing. We have a system that costs $32,000 in total, and as I just said, it includes a launcher and two missiles. The price of a single missile is $1,200 each. Hearing this price, Zheng Xudong's brows furrowed, in fact, it is really not expensive for him, if he fights a helicopter, even if two anti-aircraft missiles fight one, it is suitable! But his frowning made Matiev's heart tighten, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zheng, this is the sales price to our ally countries, if you buy it personally, we can negotiate the price if the quantity is large." ”

"Well, bring me ten of your Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, plus twenty anti-aircraft missiles. You can figure out what a good price you can give me. After Zheng Xudong finished speaking, he added: "Mr. Matiev, I don't want others to know that if I bought this missile in your company, can you do it?"

Sanzar Matiev laughed when he heard this, "Mr. Zheng, this is simply not a problem for a large arms company, we can say that the vehicles transporting Stinger anti-aircraft missiles on the front line in Afghanistan in the previous stage were attacked by the enemy and lost a batch, and what you bought can be counted there, and it just so happens that we have not yet reported this report to the Ministry of Defense." ”

When Zheng Xudong heard this, these businessmen, as long as they can sell their products, everything is a floating cloud.

Sanzar Matiev continued: "Mr. Zheng, in order to ensure that your information is not leaked, we recommend that you pay for the goods in cash, so that there will be no records of transfers, which is more secure. ”

"No problem, let's calculate the price!"

"Okay, we will pay $30,000 for 10 Stinger air defense missile systems, and for 20 air defense missiles, we will pay $1,000 each, one, and the price is a total of $320,000. ”

"Cash? yes, you send me these things secretly to my ranch warehouse in Nevada, and I'll call your ranch manager in a moment. Zheng Xudong thought that he would go to the United States secretly once in two days, and he still remembered to kill the director of the CIA. At that point, he could go to the ranch's warehouse and get these Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems into space. In fact, even if he bought the Phalanx close-defense gun, he didn't plan to install it on his own ship, so he would send it to that warehouse first, and then receive it in the space together, and take it out to directly hit the enemy when he wanted to use it. Hit a target with a phalanx close-in defense gun, oh my God, it's sour just to think about!

"No problem, we offer you free shipping within the United States. Sanzar Matiev was very happy that Zheng Xudong did not continue to bargain with them, and he was able to get a lot of commission for this order. In fact, what he didn't know was that Hillary Clinton told Zheng Xudong at the time that there should be no more bargaining for this business, because many people in this kind of lethal weapons are sold to individuals, and in order to gag their mouths, these risk-taking people have to "get some benefits".

"Okay, let's talk about your Phalanx close-in gun, this is what I was thinking about the most at the time, I think it can best ensure the safety of my yacht. But what I didn't expect was that the merchant ship didn't let it be installed, forget it, don't think about this matter first, if the price is cheap, I'll buy a set for play. "Zheng Xudong is indeed in line with the attitude of buying or not buying, if you are cheap, I will buy it, and it can be regarded as pressing down the price first!

After hearing this, Sanzar Matiev smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng, whether you buy it or not, I have to say that the Phalanx close defense artillery system is the most effective means of defending modern ships against low-altitude attacks, and of course, it is also a toy for you rich people." It can be said that the average small country cannot afford to support such a system. ”

"Oh? I'm interested to hear you say that. Why is it said that a small country can't afford to support this system?" this is the first time Zheng Xudong has heard this kind of statement. A set of close-in weapons systems cannot even afford to be raised by a small country.

"Mr. Zheng, our U.S. and its allies' warships are equipped with the latest Block 1B Phalanx close-in defense artillery system, which is loaded with a base number of ammunition, that is, 1,550 rounds of 20 mm caliber shells, and each shell is $100. The phalanx system needs to fire about 200 shells (to hit a low-altitude target) in a strike, but in fact, the first 100 rounds are used by the large closed-loop fire control system to correct the fire, and at about $100 per shell, a shot of $20,000 is gone. And its rate of fire is 4500 rounds per minute. One minute of shooting takes exactly three bases of ammunition, which is $450,000. Mr. Zheng, do you think ordinary small countries can afford to play this thing?"

"What? This thing costs $450,000 a minute? You must be joking, Mr. Matiev!"

"Mr. Zheng, I never joke about weapons and other deadly things! That's why I say this is a big toy that only you rich people can afford!"
