To be honest, the Rhino is not much better than the T-72, and its maximum road speed is only 60 kilometers per hour. However, although the rhinoceros has a greater dead weight, it has a better torsion bar suspension system and is more adaptable to harsh terrain. At the same time, as one of the most durable tanks in the Red Alert game, the Rhino Tank can be called the AK-47 in the armored forces, with a low failure rate, simple and practical and easy to maintain.

Mubashar took Huang Lianggong's hand and said: "It's amazing, I didn't expect you to develop such an advanced main battle tank, I think if Pakistan has a rhinoceros, it can crush all the tanks and armored vehicles of the Indians!" ”

Huang Lianggong smiled heartily, patted Mubashar's shoulder, and said loudly: "That's right, that's right! ”

"So I don't know what kind of price the Chinese brothers are going to set for this type of tank?" Mushabar asked with some apprehension, the new Rhino tank is so sharp, and its combat power is several times stronger than the old Type 59 they ordered before, the price of Type 59 is more than 617, and the technique is familiar, and there is nothing too high in itself, the price is very cheap, compared to the tanks that cost millions of dollars in this era, the old 59 is as cheap as cabbage.

Huang Lianggong saw Mubashar's concerns, fearing that the price of the new Rhino tank would be too high for them to afford. China's foreign trade weapons are mainly aimed at the equally poor countries of the third century, and everyone is a difficult brother and cannot afford to pay a large price, so they simply buy a little bargain.

Originally, Huang Lianggong also wanted to set a relatively high price for the rhinoceros tank, but through a part of the senior engineers stationed in the Red Police Base to lead the workers of the original 617 factory to carry out a large number of technical transformation and process sorting, optimize the production mode of the entire factory, although because of raw materials and processing problems, the production of rhino tank man-hours and costs have increased, but because of its simple design and high module integration, after the 617 factory has improved its production efficiency, it is not a problem for a tank of this type to sell for 800,000 US dollars.

Nearly half of the selling price of $800,000 is pure profit, and sure enough, selling arms is quite a lucrative business.

Huang Lianggong naturally did not need to raise his own cost and profit margin to Mubashar, but just pretended to be arrogant: "In order to support our Pakistani friends to resist aggression and defend their country, we have carefully considered and decided to price the MBT-1000 at $800,000, although it is more than twice as expensive as the Type 59, but its performance is more than double that of the Type 59." My suggestion is that the Pakistani side has already purchased hundreds of our Type 59 tanks, and then the more elite MBT-1000 Rhino tanks can be appropriately purchased for the Pakistani army as a high-level match. ”

Huang Lianggong's proposal is still very reliable, even some relatively wealthy countries, equipping a large number of high-value advanced weapons is also a head-scratching thing, a large number of expensive weapons of the same type may cause idle combat power and waste, so the way of high and low matching is the most suitable to solve this situation.

"You can go back and discuss, we can suspend the 59 order from the Pakistani side, and if you think it is necessary to introduce MBT-1000 tanks, we will produce the corresponding number of Rhino tanks according to the amount of the original contract. If the Pakistani side still wants the same amount, then an additional amount of money will have to come in. ”

Mubashar nodded again and again and said, "That's it, I will report the situation to our Ministry of Defense." In short, I would like to thank the Chinese brothers for their kindness! ”

Huang Lianggong smiled again: "Wherever and where, everyone helps each other." ”

After the Pakistanis left, the leaders of the factory gathered together, and the deputy director held a thumbs up and said to Huang Lianggong: "The factory director, it is really high, looking at the meaning of the Pakistani side, it must be very tempting, and our new goods must be sold." ”

Huang Lianggong's face is bright, but he is also a very capable person, he knows that the 617 factory can complete the replication of the rhinoceros tank in such a short period of time, and dozens of senior engineers stationed from the Dalinor base are the absolute main force, he said modestly: "I didn't do anything, they are all Liu Dagong, they are amazing, with Liu Dagong and them, the production capacity of our factory has greatly increased, and we can also make more advanced tanks, without Liu Dagong and them, we can't do anything, tonight we will have dinner in the small canteen of our factory, We must treat our masters well. ”

The current chief engineer of 617 is the Red Alert Engineer, named Liu Zhengcui, who was recognized by the people in the factory not long after he came, and they all called Liu Dagong like this.

Liu Zhengcui is a lot of talk among all the Red Police officers, and he is not too serious, and it is easier to communicate, he said: "Pakistan has 100 tanks at best, and if Pakistan is too expensive, it may have to shrink a little." We have just expanded the production line, and if we start producing at full capacity, 100 vehicles will be half a year's work. There is no list in the back, and it is still very unscientific to do those old five-nine and six-nine without oil and water. The factory director should still think of a way, the more rhinoceros we make, the more workers know about the technology, and the next step will be easier for us to go to the MBT-2000 project or the MBT-3000 project. What's more, for an order of 100 vehicles, our factory can take out more than 30 million US dollars from it, and hand over some national profits and taxes, and there is a lot of surplus in hand. ”

The 2000 and 3000 models were naturally the two generations of foreign trade tanks produced by the later 617, and the MBT-2000 Khalid was sold to a number of countries and was very cost-effective.

As soon as he said money, everyone couldn't help but breathe heavily, MBT-1000 is the largest oil and water project since the establishment of the 617 factory, if it can really complete the production plan of 100 vehicles, then the factory will remove the cost, pay the national profits and taxes, and at least leave about 10 million US dollars in hand. Of course, the state will definitely turn this money into RMB, and foreign exchange is a valuable resource. But even if it is RMB, according to the recently new exchange rate, it is 80 million RMB, which is definitely a huge amount of money in the 80s.

The head office may reach out and take a little more, but there are only one or two thousand old and young masters in the whole 617 factory, and four or five thousand people are dragged to the family.

Huang Lianggong suddenly felt that the pressure had skyrocketed, and after Qi Yiming intervened in the military project, the factory leaders of these military enterprises began to gain greater autonomy under greater supervision. Don't look at the tens of millions of yuan is really scary, but Huang Lianggong was shocked to find that he could really pay benefits to all employees in the factory in accordance with the new regulations.

The new equipment of the 617 factory was transferred from the Dalinor base, and he said that he didn't want money, but then Qi Yiming changed his hexagram, saying that he could borrow interest-free for a long time, and he needed to repay it at a low price after ten years. However, Huang Lianggong took a look, with the 80 million, the money to exchange equipment to Qi Yiming's base was just a floating cloud, and there was no need to repay the money in a hurry.

617 is now basically completely out of scientific research tasks, and now the main task is to work with various fraternal units to absorb all kinds of techniques delegated by Qi Yiming, with a time limit of 5 years, and by 1990 there will be a major inspection, and those who fail to complete it will be punished. However, 617 is ahead of the curve, and now it has produced results, and I believe that after the money on hand is more abundant, the absorption of technical skills will not be a problem.

Liu Zhengcui's words aroused the fiery hearts of the leaders of the whole factory and the prestige of the workers' representatives, and a female cadre in her forties couldn't help but give Huang Lianggong an idea: "Factory director, doesn't Iraq still keep a tail list of hundreds of 59 and 69 vehicles in our factory?" Shall we also talk to the representatives of the Iranian side, show them our big rhinoceros, and ask them if they want to change to a new one? ”

Huang Lianggong's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Good idea, Iraq is an oil-producing country, and it is richer, so it should be better to get it." "Look at what the big factory director said, it's as obscene as being a thief.

Everyone brainstormed, and a young college student engineer said: "Zimbabwe also has an order in our factory, do you want to show them too." ”

Liu Zhengcui laughed and said: "An African country is so poor that it feels heartbroken to death even to buy a five-nine style, where can there be money to buy our new rhinoceros." "Zimbabwe ordered 22 Type 59 vehicles from the Celestial Empire in 1984, which is not as good as big customers like Pakistan and Iraq.

Huang Lianggong paced in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, and then said: "If we can get 100 cars from Pakistan and 100 cars from Iraq, it will be enough for us to eat for ten years, and there is no need to be too greedy." I have talked with Comrade Qi, the big leader of Dalinor, and he conveyed Chairman Ping's supreme instruction that we should take into account the production of dual-use products, which can not only strengthen the army and strengthen the country, but also facilitate and benefit the people. In addition, I see that in the international market, medium and light armored vehicles for military and police use are very popular, so let's also study them to see if we can produce an armored vehicle and sell it. ”

Everyone expressed their support for Director Huang's decision, Huang Lianggong was quite complacent, and pretended to be like Liu Bei like his Liu Dagong and asked: "Liu Dagong, let's see if there is anything to add?" ”

"Well, we should contact Dalinor's side, call their database, see what kind of armored vehicles are good to sell over the years, and analyze the market demand. And I heard that Dalinore spent money to poach college students and returnees from all over the country and set up some kind of commercial company. The people in our factory can manage production, and they can do business and sales, and after we have money, do we also follow them and find special people to sell goods to us? ”

Huang Lianggong raised his thumb and said: "Liu Dagong is really smart, yes, just do it, let's ask a special person to analyze the market and do sales for us, let's just take care of production, and then count the money, hahaha." The factory owner, who still has a lot of momentum in his heart, thinks that it is said that the country is opening a class on the management experience of state-owned enterprise cadres, and he didn't take it seriously before, but now he is a big businessman, and it seems that he should learn it.
