Chapter 105: Bartering
"Because our Jiaolong Pirate Regiment can only rely on these three maritime law enforcement ships to complete our business now, I don't think we can buy these three ships for you."
Jiang Lin, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head, looked at Olivervin and the two, and shook his head regretfully.
"Whew!"
Duke let out a long breath, and a boulder hanging in his heart finally landed, because some of the decisions Jiang Lin usually made would be beyond Duke's expectations, including this time, Duke couldn't figure out Jiang Lin's thoughts at all, what if he really sold these three ships?
Mocoman and Oliver looked at each other, Mocoman was nothing, but Oliver was a little uncomfortable, the success or failure of this matter was directly related to his political career being able to go on smoothly, but now it seems that things have gone in the worst direction.
"The meaning of Head Jiang Lin has been very clear, then I think the talks between us are meaningless, and I also express my regret to Head Jiang Lin on behalf of our authorities, after all, we are a sovereign country, and you do not have internationally recognized legal procedures, so I can't promise you to pass through our country."
Closing his eyes and pondering, Oliver quickly adjusted his mood and said to Jiang Lin in a regretful and calm tone.
Anything, as long as it involves the national level, then there is no friendship at all, although the Maldives is small, but the people in power are not stupid, if there is no benefit, then why let the Jiaolong pirate group pass through their territorial waters? And no one can guarantee what will happen to Jiaolong if it does pass through the territorial waters of the Maldives?
So there is nothing wrong with the resolution of the Maldives, and at the level of national interests, no one is willing to make concessions.
"No, no, no, you may have misunderstood what I meant, I mean the ship can't be sold to you, but we still have other ways to trade!"
Seeing that Oliver and Mocomo had the intention of getting up and leaving, Jiang Lin hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down.
After Jiang Lin said this, the first to react was Duke, and sure enough, as he expected, Jiang Lin would definitely be able to do something else, but Duke really couldn't think of what Jiang Lin meant by other ways of trading at this time.
Oliver and Mocoman were stunned, they also didn't understand what Jiang Lin meant when he said this, but when they saw Jiang Lin's gesture of signaling them to sit down, they still chose to sit down, showing a puzzled expression: "Jiang Lin team battle, I don't know what the trading method you are talking about?" ”
"Barter!"
With a slight smile, Jiang Lin looked at Oliver and Mokoman, and his eyes always revealed a sense of confidence.
"Barter? I don't know what Captain Jiang Lin means? ”
In addition to Jiang Lin, Duke and Oliver were all confused by Jiang Lin.
"Yes, it's bartering, I think the three maritime law enforcement ships in our hands now should be relatively new, so I think I exchange the three maritime law enforcement ships in our hands for your country's three maritime law enforcement ships, your country should not lose, right? In this way, our Jiaolong Pirate Regiment will also have the ability to continue our mission, and you will also have access to three more advanced maritime law enforcement vessels! ”
Jiang Lin nodded, because of the situation, he never thought of selling these three maritime law enforcement ships from beginning to end, but he was able to accept exchanging ships with the Maldives.
Jiang Lin's proposal made Oliver and Mocoman fall into deep thought, but Duke's face was still a little ugly, but compared to the previous purchase plan for the Malaysian side, it was indeed much better.
"I'm sorry, Head Jiang Lin, we have to accompany you, we have to report your new proposal to our superiors."
With that, Mocoman and Oliver turned and entered the destroyer's cabin.
"Commander......"
Now there were only two people in the meeting room, Duke and Jiang Lin, Duke turned his head and looked at Jiang Lin with reluctant eyes.
"Needless to say, our three ships only have a total of 5,000 rounds of ammunition for naval guns, and 60 mm caliber unconventional naval guns, where can we get supplies?"
Jiang Lin woke up Duke directly in a deep voice, the three Nissan maritime law enforcement ships are indeed advanced, but because they use unconventional caliber naval guns, they will not be able to find supplies for a while, as long as the shells are finished, then the three coast guard ships of Jiaolong will become three eye-catching targets, rather than this, it is better to change with the Maldives, as for the problem of ammunition supply, it is still up to the Maldives to have a headache.
About fifteen minutes later, Mocoman and Oliver returned to the table, and as soon as they sat down, Oliver told Jiang Lin that the Maldivian authorities were willing to exchange maritime law enforcement vessels with Jiaolong.
Just kidding, of course the Maldives is willing to take advantage of this kind of thing.
"It's just one thing, General Mokoman, it's okay to replace it, but after we finish the replacement, I don't know how much naval gun ammunition you are going to provide us? After all, we are three new Nissan maritime law enforcement vessels, and I believe that no matter what, you will all make money. ”
Listening to Oliver's announced decision, Jiang Lin nodded and asked Mokoman on the side.
Mokoman is in charge of the construction of the army in the Maldives, and the three backward maritime law enforcement ships are replaced by three latest models of maritime law enforcement ships in vain, as long as they are not fools, they are happy, so although Mokoman's expression is calm at this time, he is actually happy in his heart, in this case, Mokoman almost did not think about it, and directly compared a "two" gesture: "20,000 rounds, because the maritime law enforcement ships of your regiment are indeed much more advanced, so after the exchange, we are willing to provide you with compensation of 20,000 rounds of ammunition per ship free of charge!" ”
A new type of maritime law enforcement ship is worth nearly 200 million US dollars, what is tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition? What's more, there are a total of five maritime law enforcement ships in the Maldives, and Jiaolong has replaced three of them, so what to do with the huge ammunition inventory of old maritime law enforcement ships? Why don't you give it to Jiaolong and be a favor?
So this deal is not a loss on the Maldives side in any case, at least in the eyes of the Maldivian authorities, it is definitely much more cost-effective than direct procurement.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Jiang Lin nodded, got up and stretched out his arm to Oliver and Mokoman.
Duke looked at Jiang Lin's side, in addition to admiration and admiration in his eyes, Jiang Lin had to look farther than them anyway, which Duke and Tiger couldn't compare.
After that, the two sides discussed some details of the exchange, and finally reached an agreement to determine the exchange plan and some of its terms.
However, just when everyone thought that the meeting was coming to an end, Jiang Lin threw another question to Mocoman and Oliver......
