Chapter Seventy-Nine: Acting
“RPG?” The captain couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the bazooka that Qin Tian handed to him.
However, of course, the captain knew that what Qin Tian brought would not be so simple, so he took a look at it, and then his hand was worried, and he found that it was lighter than the original RPG7, and the sight had also been improved.
"They're made of alloy steel!" Qin Tian said: "The weight has been reduced from 7 kg to 6.5 kg, but the service life has been increased. Of course, none of this matters......"
These are certainly not important for Somalia, where 7 kg is no different from 6.5 kg when one person can move.
The use of helpers is even more negligible, because Somali soldiers often do not live as long as their equipment, and of course no one cares about the life of their equipment.
"It's the range that counts!" Qin Tian said.
"Range?" The captain was skeptical, the most criticized RPG is its range, although the theoretical range is 300 meters, but it is good to hit a target of 200 meters in actual combat, especially in the windy and sandy areas of Somalia.
"Try it!" Qin Tian raised his head towards the captain.
The captain half-incredulously raised the bazooka and aimed it at the target at the range, then pulled the trigger......
With a "chirp", the rocket went straight to the target with a long trail.
However, it failed to hit the target, and the rocket exploded on the dirt slope behind the target, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"It makes no difference!" The captain had a hint of disdain on his face.
The captain was lying, and although he didn't hit the target just now, he knew very well in his heart that this RPG was much more stable than the RPG7 used before...... If you are using an old RPG, it will be at least a dozen meters away from the target at a distance of 350 meters, and this RPG will only deviate by less than two meters, and if the target is an armored vehicle or tank, it has a high chance of hitting. (Note: RPG7 has a wind deflection rate of 1.2 meters at a distance of 100 meters at a cross wind of 1 m/s)
Hit enemy armored vehicles at a distance of 350 meters, which was unthinkable before.
The reason why the captain behaved like this was because he wanted this bazooka but didn't want Qin Tian to raise the price too high.
Of course, Qin Tian would not be fooled.
"Captain!" Qin Tian said: "I just want to say that I have offended my boss by bringing this SRPG, because they didn't make much money in the previous SG18, so they plan to sell it to others secretly......"
"You mean they sold?"
"No, but that's what they're going to do!" For the sake of money, Qin Tian became a shameless "whistleblower".
"Well done, Qin!" The captain nodded to Qin Tian in gratitude, and then immediately took out his phone and called Bertrand.
"Hey, Captain!"
"I heard you imported an RPG?" The Captain's tone was a little unkind.
"Oh yes!" Bertrand pretended to be alarmed and asked, "Look, Captain, I was about to tell you......"
"I heard you're planning to sell them to someone else?" The captain interrupted Bertrand.
"No, no, it's a rumor!" Bertrand: "100% a rumor!" ”
"How much are you going to sell?" The captain asked again.
"Nothing, Captain!" Bertrand continues to deny: "We are just ......"
"How much?"
"Six thousand dollars, Captain!" Bertrand replied: "Plus three rockets." Four thousand dollars of cost, we are going to make two thousand dollars! ”
"Five thousand!"
"What?"
"Five thousand dollars!" The captain said, "No matter how many of you have, we want them all!" ”
"But Captain ......"
"No, but!" The captain did not give Bertrand a chance to argue: "Five thousand dollars, not a single one!" ”
As he spoke, the captain hung up the phone, and then said to Qin Tian: "It's a deal, Qin!" The ones you bring will count towards your commission! ”
"No problem!" Qin Tian said.
The Captain, of course, didn't know that this was actually a play he had discussed with Bertrand in order to raise the price of the SRPG.
However, the captain did not suffer a loss, because it was foreseeable that when this bazooka was put on the market or used on the battlefield and became known to others, the price would soon skyrocket, and the captain would be able to make a small profit when a large number of goods arrived at this time.
Of course, no matter how much the captain earns, it is only a fraction of what Altran earns.
Needless to say, what the training did on this day was to introduce the SRPG to the soldiers, and the Somali soldiers were very interested in this thing...... They prefer bazookas to AK47s, because RPGs that can't hit targets can blow up in one slice, even if their hit rate is even lower than that of AK47s.
At this time, knowing that the bazooka brought by Qin Tian could have a range of 350 meters, everyone rushed to try it as soon as possible.
But of course, few of them can hit accurately.
But that's not the point, the point is that Artron has money to make, especially with the amount of ammunition they consume...... There will be a lot of money to be made.
When he returned to Altrand, Bertrand shouted excitedly as soon as he saw Qin Tian: "Qin, can you imagine? Fifty-seven, five thousand dollars each, all sold! Three hundred thousand dollars, man...... $300,000! ”
"How many units can we produce per day?" Qin Tian asked.
"Two production lines, each production line produces 10 units per day!" Bertrand poured the wine and handed it to Qin Tian as he said, "It's worth celebrating, isn't it?" It will even earn more than SG18! ”
Qin Tian understood what Bertrand meant.
Although the unit price of the bazooka is cheaper than that of the SG18, its production process is simple, 20 units a day is 100,000 US dollars, and this is only the current price, in addition to the profit of a large number of rockets, so there is no doubt that it will exceed the SG18.
But Qin Tian was not as happy as Bertrand.
The reason is as I said before, when the income reaches a certain level, money is not a problem for Qin Tian...... the phrase "money is omnipotent" is more applicable in a peaceful society, and more money in Somalia is sometimes a burden.
Therefore, Qin Tian couldn't wait to convert this money into productivity, combat effectiveness, or everything else that was useful for his own development.
Qin Tian considered using the money to purchase more production lines, machine tools, or advanced high-tech equipment.
This can indeed be done, as the international arms market is happy to sell advanced equipment to Somalia...... Somalia has no industrial base, and arms dealers do not have to worry about technology leakage or even imitation of their equipment due to reverse research.
The problem was that Qin Tian was worried that if he did this, he would attract the attention of the "heavy rain".
After all, Altran is just a third-rate arms dealer, and it is normal to produce low-end equipment such as anti-aircraft machine guns and rocket launchers, and it would be unreasonable to start the idea of high-tech equipment.
Qin Tian felt like a ping-pong ball under the table, he could jump very high, but he was blocked by an invisible hand.
