"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly, a voice from behind him startled Wang Dong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not Luo Qing, it's a man.

"Mura!?"

"What, aren't you happy to see me?"

That's right, it's Musharraf.

"When did you come back?" Wang Dong was very surprised, because Musharraf had stayed in Saudi Arabia and had not said that he would return to the UK before.

"As soon as I got off the plane, I rushed over immediately when I heard that the groundbreaking ceremony was held today."

"Let's go, go to the car."

Wang Dong had already thought that Musharraf's sudden return to Britain would definitely have something inconvenient to say on the phone, and the stakes would be very high.

There are really important things.

Musharraf returned to deliver the message that Prince Waleed had offered D&F and the Royal Saudi Arsenal to participate in the Saudi Army's tender project.

"Joint?"

"These are the exact words of Prince Waleed, and according to his meaning, only by cooperating with the Royal Arsenal can he be 100% sure of getting the contract."

Wang Dong frowned, he had already heard the meaning of these words.

If you don't cooperate with the Royal Arsenal, you can't be 100% sure?

If it had been half a year ago, there would have been such a possibility, after all, billions of dollars in orders would have been enough to drive any arms company crazy.

But now, Prince Mohammed has sat in the position of crown prince, and there is still suspense?

What exactly does Waleed want to do?

Previously, Waleed paid $1 billion to buy 5 percent of D&F's shares, but only $500 million was actually given, and the other $500 million was used to open a factory in Saudi Arabia.

Not a production plant, but a maintenance center.

Wang Dong has fulfilled his promise, not only to keep Musharraf in Saudi Arabia, but also to send some technicians through the "Angu" company.

Over the past six months, arms delivered to Syria have been refitted at the centre.

In addition, it is also responsible for providing after-sales service for the DF762 series of firearms.

"Actually, Prince Waleed made such a request for our sake."

"What do you mean?"

"The tender clearly mentions that except for the first batch of firearms, all other firearms must be produced in Saudi Arabia, and the winning bidder must provide relevant patent authorization. Therefore, even if we don't go to Saudi Arabia to open a factory now, we have to take this step after we get the contract. ”

Wang Dong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Musharraf meant.

"Only by cooperating with the Royal Arsenal in advance can we sell to other countries in the name of the Royal Arsenal."

"You mean ......"

"This is just my speculation, Prince Waleed did not mention any of this. It's just that the Royal Arsenal is an industry under the name of the Saudi royal family, and the Royal Arsenal is equivalent to letting the Saudi royal family come forward. Don't forget, in order to save face for the UAE royal family, the Saudi Army purchased tens of thousands of 'Wildcat' pistols. ”

"So as long as the Royal Arsenal comes forward, the UAE will give face to the Saudi royal family?"

"It's not just the UAE, it's other Gulf countries."

Wang Dong didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Of course, Prince Waleed also took into account our actual situation."

"What?"

"There must be a lot of difficulties and troubles when you go to open a factory now, such as capital. According to Prince Waleed's wishes, he could provide financing guarantees. ”

Wang Dong's brows jumped a few times, looking a little surprised.

In addition, he also mentioned that the Saudi Ministry of Defense is likely to order an additional batch of DF762 in the near future, and the quantity will not be less than 10,000 units.

"How is that possible!?"

"I don't believe it either, but I asked Saleh that the Saudi Ministry of Defense is already drawing up a procurement contract, and it will be sent in the next few days."

"Are you sure?"

Musharraf nodded, indicating complete certainty.

What's going on?

The point is, what reason does Saudi Arabia have to continue to purchase DF762?

In the army-standard firearms tender, the Saudi Ministry of Defense no longer emphasizes the use of existing caliber ammunition, indicating that it will abandon existing caliber ammunition.

It can be seen that the DF762 series of firearms is just excessive, and it plays the role of throwing stones to ask for directions.

To put it simply, the Saudi authorities have established a partnership with D&F through the purchase of DF762 series firearms in preparation for the replacement of standard firearms.

From another point of view, if Saudi Arabia buys more DF762 series firearms, why bother bidding for redressing?

Prior to this, Wang Dong concluded that after the refitting of the army, Saudi Arabia would restart the bidding to purchase new firearms to replace the DF762 of the special forces.

Although it costs a lot of money, the local tyrants don't care.

Obviously, there is no reason for the Saudi authorities to buy more DF762s at this time, let alone a thousand more that have not been delivered.

Unless it's not bought for the Saudi army!

Thinking of this, Wang Dong looked at Musharraf.

"Prince Waleed asked me to tell you that I hope you will travel to Saudi Arabia in the near future to meet with him about relevant matters, and he said that he will never disappoint you."

"Mura, it's not that simple."

"I know, but I don't think there's anything to worry about. If it weren't for Prince Waleed's support, we wouldn't have been able to get the order for the Saudi special forces. Besides, Prince Mohammed has assumed the position of crown prince and has full control over Saudi Arabia's domestic and foreign affairs. ”

"That's not what I meant."

Musharraf was slightly stunned, obviously not reacting.

"If we just want to go to Saudi Arabia to build a factory, it is enough to provide a financing guarantee. In fact, with the backing of Saudi Arabia's royal fund, there is no need for financing at all. The Saudi Ministry of Defense is purchasing DF762 at this time, and there must be a reason that we haven't thought of yet. ”

"Rebels to aid Syria?"

"What a waste." Wang Dong smiled faintly and said, "No matter how rich Saudi Arabia is, there is no need to provide brand-new guns to the Syrian rebels." ”

"That's ......"

"Anyway, there's really no need to worry. Like you said, Prince Waleed and Crown Prince Mohammed are trusted friends. ”

Musharraf let out a long sigh and nodded.

"It's rare for you to come back once, wait to send Serena back, I'll be so relaxed."

Without waiting for Musharraf to react, Wang Dong pushed the car door and got out of the car.

Inside the factory, the groundbreaking ceremony finally came to an end as Serena and the Mayor of Edinburgh pressed the symbolic start switch.

Next, it's time to arrange a banquet at the hotel.

D&F's senior vice president, Musharraf, has returned to Edinburgh, so there is no need for Wang Dong to follow Serena inseparably.

The banquet is not luxurious, but it is more important than the groundbreaking ceremony.

According to the arrangement, Serena will meet with dozens of suppliers at the banquet to negotiate the signing of long-term supply contracts and build the supply chain of D&F.

As for the politicians who attended the groundbreaking ceremony, they did not go to the hotel, mainly to avoid suspicion.

These business affairs have always been in charge of Serena, and Wang Dong has never asked.
