Chapter 462 - Earn Money Together
Wang Dong stayed in the military industrial city for two days, during which he drove around the military industrial city and visited the Saudi engineering troops.
Early in the morning of the third day, Wang Dong left by helicopter.
On the way back to Riyadh, Wang Dong called Yunfeng and asked her to send someone with good ability and absolute trust to replace Gao Jun.
Transferring Gao Jun back is not just to share Yunfeng's work.
In terms of planning the company's development direction, overall management of the entire group, and employing people, Yunfeng is indeed very powerful, better than Serina.
It's just that Yunfeng's ability to deal with specific affairs is very average.
In fact, this is what Gao Jun is best at.
In the past, when he worked with Serena, Gao Jun's main value was to turn Serena's ideas into reality and show a strong ability to act.
Not to fight, of course, but to act in the field of operation.
Now, what D&F needs most is to increase efficiency, push production capacity to the limit, and deliver more weapons and ammunition to the front lines.
You know, the problem of low production efficiency of D&F companies has been exposed.
In Nasiriyah, because he could not obtain enough firearms in time, Wang Dong had to turn to Faisal for help, and even armed the militia with second-hand weapons.
Is it true that D&F is unable to produce enough firearms because of insufficient planned production capacity?
Wang Dong didn't know that he hadn't been involved in the company's business activities for a long time, and he was not very good at managing the company, so he was self-aware.
Let Gao Jun go back, maybe it can be improved.
In addition, in the long run, it is also necessary to let Gao Jun return to the work he is good at.
After the equipment repair plant is built, D&F will definitely be involved in the repair of tank fighting vehicles and enter the industry through repair.
In the future, it will certainly involve the development, design, production, and sales of main battle equipment.
Obviously, the relevant preparations must be stepped up.
Gao Jun is the perfect person to do so, his ability to execute leads to greater efficiency, and he has a keen intuition about where the market is headed.
Letting him stay in the desert to supervise the construction of the project is simply a waste of talent.
Regarding Wang Dong's arrangement, Yun Feng raised his hands in approval.
In fact, when Wang Dong sent Gao Jun to the Military Industry City, Yunfeng raised objections, but Wang Dong didn't listen to them at that time.
Let Gao Jun come back to take charge of the company's operations, and Yunfeng can use his energy in more important places.
For example, contact the rear and process the information obtained.
Of course, it is also to reduce the burden on Yunlong.
On the third day of Wang Dong's return to Riyadh, Yunlong sent a series of good news, to be precise.
Huaxia has signed a contract with Pakistan to sell the "Khalid" 2 main battle tank, also known as the VT-4, that is, the MBT3000.
Strictly speaking, this tank is not a VT-4, but a customized version of the VT-4, that is, an improvement in accordance with the requirements put forward by the Pakistani military.
Undoubtedly, certainly better than the standard version of the VT-4.
According to the contract, Huaxia will sell 40 vehicles directly to Pakistan, that is, two battalions of MBT3000, and then Pakistan will produce 520 vehicles under the license, and Pakistan will be allowed to sell them in the international market under the name of "Khalid" 2.
Of course, Huaxia will extract the patent license fee based on sales.
Since Pakistan was allowed to export Khalid2, there was no restriction on the sale of "Khalid" in the contract.
In other words, Pakistan can immediately resell the MBT3000 it has acquired to Saudi Arabia.
In fact, the $4 billion that Pakistan used to buy these tanks and license the production of them came from Saudi Arabia, otherwise there would not have been this contract.
Only Pakistan can get this price.
$4 billion bought 40 finished tanks, as well as 520 production licenses, even if other costs are counted, the unit price is less than $15 million, and in the future, it can be sold in the international market, as long as it can sell a few hundred, Pakistan can earn back all the money to buy tanks.
Of course, only Huaxia is willing to give Pakistan such superior benefits.
When the contract was signed, Pakistan's defense minister publicly stated that only a true bosom friend would spare no effort to help Pakistan.
It's just that Huaxia didn't trade at a loss.
Before signing the contract, Saudi Arabia had already shown great interest in the VT-4, and several other Arab League countries also sent officials to China for inspection.
What's more, Saudi Arabia paid for Pakistan to get the contract.
As expected, Saudi Arabia will certainly import a batch of Khalid2 from Pakistan, and several other Arab League countries will most likely follow.
At that time, Huaxia will be able to make a lot of money by collecting patent licensing fees.
Everyone has money to make, what's wrong?
As a result, Pakistan has promised to sell more Khalids, as well as reactive armor and ammunition stockpiles.
In fact, this is the key to Saudi Arabia's assistance to Pakistan in purchasing the "Khalid" 2.
It's just that, compared to another arms sales contract, the sale of tanks is nothing.
That is, Huaxia will sell J-10C fighters codenamed JF-20 to Pakistan, and first provide 60 Huaxia Air Force self-use models on a lease-lease basis, and replace them with JF-20 five years later, and the Pakistan Air Force will only need to pay a rent that is not too much.
The five-year delay in delivery is mainly due to the need for improvements in accordance with the requirements of the Pakistan Air Force.
Because it involves spot trading, or the self-use version of the Huaxia Air Force, and Pakistan's military strategic adjustment, neither side has announced this contract.
The point is, this contract is also related to Saudi Arabia.
To put it bluntly, it is still the money paid by Saudi Arabia.
It's just that it's not a one-time payment.
The purchase of 60 JF-20s also involves assembly in Pakistan itself, and the JF-17 model is adopted, with Pakistan leading the export sales, and the total contract value is absolutely astronomical, conservatively estimated at no less than 10 billion US dollars, perhaps more than 12 billion.
No matter how rich Saudi Arabia is, it can't come up with so much at once.
According to the confidentiality agreement signed between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, while Pakistan obtains the J-10C, the existing F-16C/D will be resold to Saudi Arabia.
When the time comes, Saudi Arabia will pay cash directly, and Pakistan will use the money to buy JF-20.
In other words, Pakistan wants to replace the F-10C/D with the J-16C from Huaxia!
In fact, as early as a few years ago, the Pakistan Air Force proposed to purchase J-10C to replace F-16C/D, but it has not been implemented because of lack of money.
Why?
India has already purchased the F-16C/D, and it's still the latest model!
It won't be long before the Indian Air Force will be able to master the technical and performance characteristics of this fighter, identify its shortcomings and find ways to restrain it.
When the time comes, the most advanced fighter jets of the Pakistan Air Force will become ornaments.
In that case, it is better to sell it quickly and buy a better fighter against the F-16C/D of the Indian Air Force.
Don't forget, the Pakistan Air Force has long eaten up the F-16C/D.
As for what the Saudis obtained, it was naturally a batch of fighters that could be immediately used to carry out combat missions.
