Chapter 437: Orr Kingdom: Money is not enough
However, after negotiations, the two sides were in a dilemma, because the Orr Kingdom wanted to place an order now and buy the most advanced Roan III rifles and rear-loading guns.
However, Lin Ziran said that the current production capacity of the Southern Navy will be used by itself, so let them book it in full first, and start to gradually deliver it after half a year.
It will be half a year before you can get the first batch of goods, and the Orr Kingdom has no opinion, but if you give the full amount first, you will have an opinion.
Book the full amount first, the Orr Kingdom is also afraid that the money will be wasted, the ghost knows when you Lin Ziran will fall, this transaction must be paid with one hand and delivered with one hand, at most part of the deposit will be given in accordance with the rules of the industry, but the amount of the deposit cannot exceed 20%.
And since there is production capacity in a few months, then it will be a few months later to place an order and pay money, and there is no hurry to meet it for a while.
But Lin Ziran said directly: In a few months, place an order directly to get the spot? You think this is Chinese cabbage, you can buy it if you want to, now you don't give money to book in advance, the ghost will give you production, if you don't want to produce it, I will have to die at a loss.
And the most important thing is that even if it is available at that time, it will not be your share, this is a breech-loading rifled weapon, and the state order will sell the breech-loading rifled weapon in a few months, and a bunch of people will line up to order it.
If it weren't for the fact that the state was in dire need of money right now, what would I have to do with you to pre-order the full amount?
But the Orr kingdom still didn't agree.
Then Lin Ziran took the initiative to propose that since he could not pay in full, but at least 80 percent, after some comparison, the two sides reached an agreement to advance 50 percent.
At the same time, Lin Ziran proposed to sell them a batch of spot Fuyuan rifles at a low price, although they were modified, but they were also rear-loading rifled rifles, you can buy a batch of them first, practice them first, and when you don't need them in the future, you can also sell them to those poor brothers, I heard that you also have a few poor relatives and allies on the southern continent, and it is just right to give them when the time comes!
When the Orr Kingdom thought about it, those poor little brothers must have to support, but they were reluctant to send the new Luoan III rifle that was too expensive.
So this point is also an agreement.
As for the rear-loading rifled artillery, this current production capacity is still a little low, and we have to use it ourselves for the time being, but we can sell you a batch of front-loading rifled guns first, in stock, this thing actually has a very good effective range, and if you want it, you can also sell it to you at a low price, and when you don't play, you can also throw it to those little brothers.
The Orr kingdom didn't care about this and agreed.
In the end, Lin Ziran promised them: If you place an order now, we guarantee that after meeting your own needs, we will be the first to deliver to you, and if others come to order, they will have to go to the back row, and they will definitely not delay.
Lin Ziran's one is actually specifically aimed at several enemies of the Orr Kingdom, the southern continent is also in chaos now, and the Orr Kingdom also has enemies, and the situation is tense now, otherwise they would not have brought tens of millions to purchase rear-loading rifled weapons.
Lin Ziran's promise is tantamount to that he will definitely not supply several of their enemy countries before completing their orders.
The Orr Kingdom replied after a few days of consideration, many conditions are acceptable in principle, but you also have to help us train us in the use of these new rear-loading weapons for free.
How to say, I bought tens of millions of your things, it's not too much to send some after-sales service, right?
Lin Ziran directly agreed, and in the future, they will send a group of officers and non-commissioned officers to come for training, and Lin Ziran will arrange instructors to train them.
After many conditions are agreed, then the follow-up is the formal negotiation order.
This part is much easier, nothing more than talking about the price.
The two sides talked back and forth, and finally reached an agreement.
According to the agreement, the Orr Kingdom will replace one 10,000-ton ironclad ship and three 1,000-ton ironclad ships with rear-loading rifled naval guns for their navy before, these naval guns are quite expensive, a 280 mm naval gun will cost 300,000 Heng Yuan, and the other 200 mm and 150 mm naval guns will cost hundreds of thousands at every turn, and there will be no counteroffer.
Not only is the cannon expensive, but the shell is even more expensive, a 300 mm shell is directly priced at 600 Heng Yuan.
At the same time, in addition to these ordered battleships to be equipped with rear-loading naval guns, they also continued to order three ironclad ships, which also need to be equipped with rear-loading naval guns.
Moreover, they also ordered an additional batch of large-caliber naval guns to reequip their original ironclad ships and put them on batteries to serve as shore defense guns.
In the end, the total order of their navy directly exceeded 10 million Hengyuan.
And that's where the Army's order goes.
Their army purchased 30,000 Fuyuan rifles and a batch of front-loading rifled guns, which they planned to use for themselves for a while, and soon they would support them for free.
They really used 100,000 Roan III rifles and 500 rear-loading rifled guns of different calibers, and this was only their first order.
At the same time, they also signed a batch of intent orders, to put it bluntly, verbal orders, the kind without a deposit.
If nothing happens in the future, the Orr Kingdom will continue to purchase 700,000 Roan III rifles, and the army's orders for rear-loading artillery will start at least 2,000.
People have to fully change their clothes and reserve a batch, and at the same time, they have to give some support to a few poor brothers.
Of course, this will be a continuous procurement program for several years, and for now, it is only 100,000 rifles and 500 artillery pieces.
There are also matching bullets, shells, and other miscellaneous materials.
In the end, the many orders added up, and their army's orders were 20 million.
As for why it is just 20 million, it is not less or more, but because the premise of the negotiation between the two sides is that the total amount of orders should reach 30 million, and Lin Ziran will not do it without it.
In fact, the Orr Kingdom was reluctant to make such a big list, but they were very high-profile at the beginning, shouting out that as long as you are willing to sell, thirty or fifty million is a trivial matter, and when it comes to the future, Lin Ziran will bite 30 million and not let go.
If you do not order so many weapons and ammunition, the negotiators of the South China Navy said on the spot that if you do not order enough quantities, then the price of the Luo'an III rifle can only rise from 60 Hengyuan to 100 Hengyuan.
In short, if you sell so many weapons and ammunition, it is 30 million, and if you reduce the number to one-tenth, the Southern Navy will still have 30 million, otherwise, Lin Ziran would rather not do this business.
In the end, there was no choice but to increase the number of orders.
In order to make up 20 million rounds, they ordered 80 million rounds of 13 mm bullets in one go, and 20 million rounds of 18 mm bullets.
A total of 150,000 rounds of artillery shells of various calibers were ordered, mainly 75 mm, with 100 mm and 150 mm shells.
The quantity purchased is large, and the unit price of weapons is also partially flattened.
However, even so, the price of this batch of new weapons is so expensive that the local tyrants of the Orr Kingdom, who have always spent money without blinking, are a little frightened, and according to this situation, they will have to replace the more than 500,000 army and fleet in the country, and I am afraid that the financial resources of the Orr Kingdom will not be able to hold it.
For the first time in many years, the Orr Kingdom feels that there is not enough money to spend!
It seems that when he returns, he will advise the king to increase the amount of gold mined!
