Chapter 835: Terrifying Sky-High Price
"Ahh Did Your Highness say 300,000 dollars? ......, $300,000 is too high, 25 percent higher than what China sold to us. Your Highness, because you are our precious guest, we have not only raised the price, but also sued you the price of the Chinese, which is a violation of the agreement we signed with them. โ
Princess Madeleine said firmly: "I'm sorry, but my offer is three million dollars instead of three hundred thousand dollars." This price cannot be reduced. Now that the United Nations has imposed an embargo on your country, we are taking a huge risk to ship missiles from China, and their excellent energy is well worth the price. Of course, if your country doesn't need it, if you think that you can defeat the British ** team with the weapons you have now, then it is even better, and there is no need for our IIC company to take this risk. โ
Although Princess Madeleine said so surely, in fact, she was a little disappreciative in her heart, feeling that the price opened by Guo Shucheng was too outrageous, from 240,000 US dollars before the war to 3 million US dollars now, it was really too dark. Three million dollars is the same price as buying five or six new tanks. Although it's wartime, no matter how high the price is, it shouldn't be so high, right?
However, Guo Zhuocheng explained her like this, and she had to say so.
Of course. Guo also gave her a floating range, which was between $2.5 million and $3 million, and she quoted the highest price first, and then lowered it a little when she waited for the bargain.
After listening to her words, the commander of the air force first glanced at her dumbfounded, his face suddenly turned iron-blue, and it took a long time to return to normal, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "Your Highness, our Argentina scenery is good, and our reception staff are ready." Hope you enjoy your trip. We still have to study the matter of procuring missiles, and if there are results, we will talk about the next step. I'll take my leave, goodbye. โ
He scolded wildly in his heart: What a greed, even if you dare to report three million dollars, you can catch up with a warship of our country.
Princess Madeleine smiled and said, "Go slowly." Thank you for your hospitality. Her smile was visibly forced.
Before the back of the Air Force Commander disappeared, she hurriedly ran to Guo Zhuocheng and asked anxiously: "My dear, what should I do?" People don't want it at all. โ
Guo Shucheng smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, it's not yet time for them to agree." Such a high price must have scared him. Where do you dare to say yes? โ
Princess Madeleine was puzzled and said, "Yes, anyone who hears this price will be frightened. Guo, why are you reporting so high? What if they really don't buy it? The way he looked just now, $300,000 a piece is definitely fine. We can sell more to them. As long as the number goes up, won't you China be able to make money from them? โ
"It's not just about making money from Argentina. The main thing is to make money from other countries in the world. If the price is high this time at their place, other countries will be able to accept our high price. Besides, the total number of purchases they buy is limited, and it is difficult to make small profits and quick turnover. โ
Princess Madeleine was even more puzzled, and asked, "Do you have to sell it to other countries at a high price?" Other countries do not necessarily have to go to war. โ
Guo Zhuocheng said: "Of course, it is a high price, because only our anti-ship missiles are the best in the world." and other countries' anti-ship missiles can surpass us. When they really sink the enemy ** ship on the battlefield, we may reduce the price for them. โ

However, because China's missiles have set a world record in Iraq by shooting down the most advanced US fighter plane piloted by the Air Force, people in Middle Eastern countries just believe in it and would rather pay a higher price than the US air defense missiles to buy Chinese air defense missiles.
The military businessmen of the United States and France are so angry that they can't do anything about it, who calls their missiles not have such a brilliant record. This is the actual combat effect, and the products that have gone through the actual combat are different from the products that have not gone through the actual combat.
Princess Madeleine saw that Guo was full of confidence, and she became confident when she was worried, and said, "Okay, Guo, I believe you." ......, dear, shall we go out now? โ
Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." โ
The reason why Guo is so sure is because he has two reasons:
First of all, the high-ranking officials led by President Galtieri, the commander of the Air Force, and the commander of the Navy cannot afford to lose this war, and if they lose the war, they will be ruined or even imprisoned, and they will do everything they can to win this war, including buying the latest and most effective weapons. When weighing the fate of private individuals and state funds, not to mention them, even ordinary people would rather pay state funds to protect their fundamental interests, because the money belongs to the public, and the career and life are their own.
Not to mention the fact that the procurement of missiles for use in the war is justified, and it is much better to spend money on weapons than to accept the outcome of a lost war. As far as the act of procuring weapons itself is concerned, not only will they not be risky, but they will be praised by the people, or at least they have worked hard. What's more, this offer was reported by Princess Madeleine, and there was no deposit in the transaction to recover the matter of deducting bribes.
The second reason, that is, Guo Zhuocheng's biggest reliance, is that in the previous life, the French aerospace company did just that, and the price of the Exocet missile, which was more than $200,000 before the war, skyrocketed after the outbreak of the war, exceeding the original pre-war price several times, and many countries waved checks to request purchases when they heard the news. Argentina in the war, because of the erosion of the war, and the only bright spot of the war is the Exocet missile, so it continued to raise the offer to try to purchase from France, until the offer was raised with a sky-high price of eight million dollars a piece did not buy, and finally ended up with a defender surrendered, the war was lost, and the Falklands were abandoned.
The old imperialist countries are still very united at the critical moment.
To be honest, if it weren't for Guo Zhuocheng's conscience in his heart, if it weren't for the fear that the offer would be too high, Argentina would rather surrender for fear of financial bankruptcy, if it wasn't for Princess Madeleine's objection that the price was too high, if he didn't know that Qian Xuesen and Yu Gangqiu in China felt that this was a sky-high price, and they were too greedy to make other countries say that China was not good, he would still want to simply quote a sky-high price of five million US dollars or even eight million US dollars.
It's just that if the price is too high, Argentina will buy less quantity, the total profit will still not be raised, and the strike force on Britain will not be large, in which case the gains outweigh the losses, so he kindly quoted a "low price" of three million dollars.
In addition, Guo Zhuocheng knew about the Argentine zhรจng
FU accepts this high price for anti-ship missiles, there must also be a trigger point. With this trigger, they will be eager to buy and will no longer care about the price.
This trigger point was the sinking of the British fleet's proud "Sheffield" missile destroyer by the Argentine Air Force with anti-ship missiles, as in previous lives. The destroyer, which had a displacement of 200 tons but cost $200 million, was sunk by the Argentine Air Force with two Exocet missiles.
If they still sink it with two missiles in this life, even if its unit price is as high as three million dollars, the ratio of the value of weapons to the enemy is amazing!
This huge proportion must have delighted the Argentine officials, who must have felt that the missile was worth the money.
Such a high attrition ratio is only purely material, not including the casualties of soldiers on warships, not including the demoralization caused to the British ** team, if you take it into account, the price ratio of missiles is even higher.
Soldiers' casualties and demoralization are often more severe and dangerous than material attrition, and decision-makers are more reluctant to arrive.
Guo knew that once the "Sheffield" missile destroyer sank, everyone, including the Argentine, would understand that even if the price of the missile was as high as $10 million, it would be worth it. Because the warships of the future will become more and more complex, the content of science and technology will become higher and higher, and their value will increase at a higher cost.
In this life, Guo believed that the Argentine Air Force would definitely be able to sink the British "Sheffield" missile destroyer. But he can't say it to others now, including Princess Madeleine, Qian Xuesen, Yu Gangqiu and others, and can only use other words to comfort them.
Of course, Princess Madeleine didn't know what Guo Zhuocheng was fighting in his heart, and she didn't want to think about the hidden information in Guo Zhuocheng's words, she only knew what he said she would do.
With Guo Shucheng accompanied, she happily played in the beautiful mountainous area with great interest. Guo Zhuocheng is still with her as a general manager of IIC, and he also has a lot of fun.
When Princess Madeleine and Guo Zhuocheng were enjoying themselves in the mountains and rivers, the conference room of the Argentine presidential palace was full of curses, and President Galtieri was even more angry and slammed the table: "It's too much! It's too much! Is there such a bully? Three million dollars! Three million dollars, why didn't she rob the bank? Too greedy! How did such a pure girl become so worldly? How did you become so cold-blooded? โ
The Minister of Finance sneered: "I have long suspected that she has such a good intention to help us. In the past, Spain was a devil, and when they used us as a colony, they plundered ......"
Your support is my biggest motivation. )
