Half an hour later, Serena arrived on time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Dong had already changed his clothes, it was a suit that Serena bought for him, and the main thing was that all the clothes he brought were left in the hotel in Riyadh.

Luo Qing also got up and changed his clothes, but he didn't eat.

Of course, this is not a problem, because Serena has already ordered a takeaway for her.

After getting into the car, Serena opened the topic.

"Wait, when you see Prince Mohammed and Prince Waleed, you have to ask a few questions." Serena handed the memo to Wang Dong. "It's all written down, you hurry up and take a look. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me now, lest you wait and don't know what to say. ”

Wang Dong didn't dwell on it, opened the memo and read it carefully.

The problems mentioned by Serena are not problems in Wang Dong's opinion, and even if they are, they must not be asked to the two princes in person.

Quite simply, it's all about the details of the terms of the contract.

"If we win a big order from the Saudi Ministry of Defense, how much can we earn?" Wang Dong closed the memo and changed the subject.

Serena was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding what Wang Dong meant.

"Prince Waleed's investment in opening a factory in Saudi Arabia must have something to do with the Saudi Army's rearmament. Don't forget, he is the most powerful businessman in all of Arabia, known as the Arab Warren Buffett, and he will not trade at a loss. If you don't get a big order from the Saudi Ministry of Defense, you won't be able to recoup your investment. ”

"So, the matter of changing the army's outfit has been decided, but it has not been announced to the public?" Luo Qing asked beside him.

Wang Dong didn't make a sound, he was still waiting for Serena's reply.

"It depends on the amount of the contract."

"How much do you have to do to make sure you don't lose money?"

Serena pondered for a while before she said: "If the purchase quantity is 80,000 pieces, then the total contract amount cannot be less than 1.5 billion dollars. ”

"Didn't include the investment in opening the factory?"

"If Prince Walid honors the investment agreement, then our investment in opening a factory in Saudi Arabia will not be too large and can be basically ignored."

"Are there any other questions?"

"Yes, and many more."

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Serena to give such an answer.

"The sample guns we used for bidding, as well as the firearms used in the operation, were all handmade by Zhao Yu, which was very inefficient and could not meet the requirements of mass production. If it is only an order for the Saudi special forces, and the execution time is extended to two years, then the problem is not very big. ”

"In other words, the DF series of firearms cannot be mass-produced yet?"

Serena sighed and said, "For this reason, I asked Zhao Yu, and the answer he gave was very affirmative, we do not have the necessary equipment for mass production. ”

"What?"

"For example, the precision forging machine used to make the barrel of a gun."

"Can you buy it?" Luo Qing asked.

"Where to buy?" Serena smiled bitterly and said, "Before, I didn't know. After Zhao Yu raised this question, I asked someone to inquire, and only four countries can manufacture precision forging machines for making gun barrels, and all of them belong to military secrets that are strictly prohibited from export. ”

"What!?" Luo Qing's eyes widened and he looked at Serena in disbelief.

"The United States, Germany, Russia, and China. Only these four countries in the world can produce precision forging machines, and Germany is the best. Not to mention that we don't have that much money, and even if we do, we may not be able to buy it. In addition, Western countries will definitely not allow the sale of precision forging machines to Saudi Arabia. ”

"Why?"

"Russia's precision forging machines are not very good, China's ones are not advanced, and the enterprises that produce precision forging machines in the United States and Germany are controlled by Jewish conglomerates."

"Is there any other way?"

"Yes."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and asked Serena to continue.

"It's not a good idea, and it's not clear now. Back in Edinburgh, meet Zhao Yu and them, and we'll discuss the matter again. ”

Wang Dong let out a long breath and said: "If we can't buy a precision forging machine, even if we open a factory in Saudi Arabia, we won't be able to produce DF series firearms in Saudi Arabia." ”

"Obviously, that's the problem." Luo Qing said.

Serena sighed too, but didn't say anything more.

The problem is already obvious, Prince Waleed, to be precise, the Saudi royal family needs not a factory, but an arsenal capable of producing new firearms.

If there is no way to produce DF series rifles in Saudi Arabia, why did Prince Waleed invest in D&F?

"Perhaps, we can start with second-hand goods."

Hearing this, Wang Dong and Luo Qing both looked at Serena.

"According to my investigation, the main firearm of the Saudi Army is the AR15 series rifle, and only a few elite troops are equipped with other models of firearms, but they are also Western standards, such as the SCAR and HK series. These firearms are not used for a long time, most of them are less than ten years. ”

"It's not time to replace it yet."

Serena nodded and said, "In my speculation, Saudi Arabia is now reoutfitting the army, and it is likely that it will provide obsolete firearms to supporting armed groups, such as government forces in Yemen and anti-government groups in Syria, because it is more cost-effective than purchasing new firearms." ”

"You mean, we're going to take the deal?"

"It's the only way to do it, and it gives us a good reason to open a factory in Saudi Arabia. In addition, by handling and maintaining firearms, skilled workers can be trained. ”

Wang Dong pondered for a while before saying, "This is indeed a solution, at least other companies will not accept this deal." ”

"Even if it is connected, it will not open a factory in Saudi Arabia." Luo Qing added.

"If Prince Waleed questions our production capacity and technical prowess, you can speak up and convince him that the investment is worth it."

"The problem is, it's not a long-term solution."

"Of course, so we have to get back to Edinburgh as soon as possible."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, nodded to show that he understood what Serena meant, and did not dwell on this matter anymore.

"By the way, Zhao Huang, Xie Chuyue and Tiehu have arrived in Riyadh and are on standby."

"Got news?"

Serena nodded and said, "It has been confirmed that H&K has leased a business jet, and their people will leave Saudi Arabia early tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

Wang Dong didn't ask much, called Zhao Yu and asked him about the situation.

Yesterday, after returning to King Fahd Military City, Wang Dong learned that H&K and Barrett's team had returned before them.

From this, Wang Dong concluded that those who appeared in Yemen before, that is, those who withdrew after the arrival of the rescue force led by Colonel Faisal, were not Houthi, but people from these two teams, that is, these two teams used the Houthis to deal with Wang Dong and them.

Subsequently, Wang Dong instructed Nicholas to keep a close eye on the personnel of the two teams.

At the same time, Wang Dong asked Zhao Huang, Xie Chuyue and Tie Hu, who were not injured, to go to the Saudi capital quickly.

The Barrett team is mixed with the U.S. military, so they can only keep an eye on the H&K team.
