Chapter 254 254 Thai Arms Purchases
"It's really falling, it's really falling!" Jacqueline, who was wearing seductive erotic underwear, jumped up on the big bed in excitement when she saw the Dow Jones index flowing red all the way. (In contrast to the Chinese stock market, the U.S. stock market is red for the fall, green for the up)
Although Qi Yiming was still a little calm, when he calculated his benefits, he couldn't help but start to tremble with excitement.
"Earn big, make big, we reaped as much as $20 billion in New York on this day alone!" As a Jew, and a descendant of the Morgan family, Jacqueline is naturally very familiar with the financial regime, but even with her intelligence and experience, she could not believe that Qi Yiming's "prediction" could really come true, and in just one day, the Dow Jones fell 91 points, or 5 percent.
Not only that, Qi Yiming, who has invested in the world's major financial markets, and the fall of the stock exchange in almost every country can bring him a lot of profits.
Of course, Qi Yiming was also happy, but the basic reason still existed, and he said: "Wait slowly, I'm afraid tomorrow's words will fall even worse than today." Naturally, he has a basis for saying that the Dow Jones fell by 5% on October 16 and by 20% the next day. Although he has made a lot of money today, Qi Yiming is still very willing to make full use of this opportunity.
The excited Jacqueline jumped up from the bed and hugged Qi Yiming's neck at once, and a fiery kiss fell on his cheek. For such a **** battle, Qi Yiming naturally found it difficult to refuse, and once again pressed the Jewish beauty on the big bed of the hotel, and there was a burst of clouds and rain.
After this battle, Qi Yiming scavenged nearly $30 billion in wealth through the collapse of the world's stock market, and with this wealth, he subsequently invested in the Hong Kong Hang Seng stock market, pulling up the Hang Seng Index again in one fell swoop, avoiding excessive turmoil in the Hong Kong stock market, and also making a lot of money with this bottom-buying strategy.
After reaping the wealth of the capitalists and the West, Qi Yiming finally returned to Beijing. Jacqueline also followed him to this ancient capital, but the girl, who was still excited that she had made a lot of money, did not know what was going on behind everything.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Qi Yiming had not yet participated in real political work, so he was arranged into his old business, the arms trade.
Nowadays, Southeast Asia is a pot of gruel, and many countries openly or covertly accuse SAR of being the main culprit in destroying regional peace, and it is precisely because of the example of SARP's successful resistance that the Acehnese, East Timorese or Papuans have taken action to seize Indonesian land, and the whole Indonesia has been in flames, although the scale of the battle is relatively small, but people everywhere are panicking.
The actions of the Yugoslav Liberation can easily be interpreted by some countries as China's instructions, especially those in Southeast Asia, where China spared no effort to export revolution many years ago, and almost every Southeast Asian country suffered. If we don't manage our relationship with this huge country around us, it is likely that Malaysia, Yugoslavia, and Vietnam will all serve as a lesson from the past.
Naturally, some countries intend to curry favor with China and pay protection fees or something to buy peace.
Nowhere is Thailand the most typical country. Thailand has long been regarded by some small countries as a model of effective balancing the strategy of great powers, and although it has been coveted by the British, French, and Japanese powers, Thailand has basically maintained a certain degree of autonomy and has preserved its power as much as possible during the colonial period. Balancing relations between major powers through diplomacy so that Thailand can survive in the gap is Thailand's most valuable political legacy.
As soon as Qi Yiming returned to Beijing, Thailand also sent diplomats to Beijing, nominally to carry out an arms procurement, but in fact to pay a protection fee to the Celestial Empire, hoping that the Celestial Empire would raise its noble hand and not bully them like it did with Malaysia and Indonesia.
As an important member of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Qi Yiming did not attend as Shenghua Group, but his former main assistant Zhou Yutong still came to help him. I haven't seen him for a while, and this deputy is still quite excited to see Qi Yiming, and there doesn't seem to be any decrease in loyalty.
Zhou Yutong is not good at expressing feelings, and he still directly talks to Qi Yiming about business, "Thailand has placed a very large order this time, and even some of them exceed their national defense needs, and some think tanks believe that this is their hope to win the favor of our country, establish healthy diplomatic relations with our country, and try to avoid the situation of their own imaginary revolutionary output."
The order mainly includes 4 F20 frigates, 2 S20 AIP submarines, 500 export MIFV infantry fighting vehicles, 60 MBT-2000 tanks, 60 WM-80 self-propelled rocket launchers, FN-6 shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles 200, and about 100 towed artillery pieces. ”
In fact, don't look at the amount that seems to be a lot, in fact, if this contract is really reached, it will not be a particularly large amount. This is inevitably due to the low cost of China's armaments.
The F20 frigate is one of China's export frigates of several classes, with a full load displacement of 2,000 tons, in fact, there are not too many problems in being classified as a light frigate. Thailand named it the Nalai Songen class, if it is the Nalai Songen class in the original plane, it is just a variant version of 053H2, and in this plane, it is a special warship design for export purposes.
She has a stealth design that is rare for warships in this era, using nationally produced power equipment, mixed with diesel and fire, and the maximum speed can reach more than 30 knots. The main equipment is a twin 100mm main gun turret, two twin C-801 missile launchers, two 730 close defense guns, two multi-functional arrow launchers (can launch anti-submarine rockets, decoy rockets, smoke screen rockets, etc.), an 8-pack Hongqi-7 air defense missile launcher, and at the tail end of the ship is a small hangar, which can carry a helicopter of the Z-9 Dolphin class.
Although compared with the first-line equipment of the PLA and the Southern Liberation Army, the C-801 and Hongqi-7 are not ranked at all, but they can be put down in the late 80s and mid-90s, and the naval ships with such configuration are already considered powerful warships in the navy of the second and third generations.
The F20 is quite expensive, with a price of up to $100 million each, and this is just an ordinary small frigate of 2,000 tons. Naturally, if you are unbalanced in your heart, you will also feel that it is more worthwhile to think about the situation that this expensive warship is unlikely to fall behind in the face of the main fleet that other countries love.
In addition to the four Nalai Songen class, which will become the main ships of the Royal Thai Navy, other gadgets brought by Qi Yiming are also more popular. The S20 submarine passed through the Battle of the Strait of Malacca and has already been considered by some radicals to be not inferior to nuclear-powered submarines. And not long ago, the first S20 submarine sold to Canada was in place, and the US Navy obtained the AIP submarine from the Canadians through the Lend-Lease treaty, and finally concluded that the Cube, which has no supply restrictions in the offshore waters, may be more powerful than those powerful nuclear submarines. I don't know if the captives are complimenting or telling the truth, in short, Qi Yiming has no way to be careless.
AIP submarines are naturally much more expensive than F20 frigates, and when China gave an offer to the Thai government, the Thai government once wanted to give up this "pay protection fee" action, but compared with the traditional ship-building powers, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden and other countries, after obtaining a warship with equal or even slightly weaker combat power, will not necessarily lose more than win in a confrontation with Yugoslavia.
Although the MBT-2000 tank is still called a variety of memories, it is fundamentally different from the Khalid tank originally sold to Israel. The prototype of this type of tank is not the Khalid, which was jointly developed by China and Pakistan, but a new type of tank built and developed based on the Rhino tank.
Without taking off the old foundation of the Rhino tank, the chassis of this car is not good, and the speed is a little pitiful, even compared to some civilian vehicles produced in the base. Its birth was quite unexpected, and when it was announced, the base took the initiative to give it, or people inadvertently got its related techniques, in short, it is basically difficult to completely copy it.
In terms of appearance, this tank is actually more like a Type 96 main battle tank, with a reduced volume, probably for the extreme climate and environment in the jungle and desert. And the civilized races that have not received much threat are also sparing no effort to open the door and enter the realm of the world where there are truly no living beings.
The lookout is not located directly below the turret of the Type 99, but on the lower right. In addition, the electronic equipment in the car naturally cannot be compared with the Type 99 and Grizzly Bear tanks, and Qi Yiming originally made a lot of money with this thing. The weight of more than 40 tons has been largely used by people after some processing. Qi Yiming couldn't help but feel sick when he thought of eating this thing. He doesn't like the intelligent race at all, but it's really a shame to let him eat a thinking "plant or animal".
Since Qi Yiming's expulsion of the Malays, most of the Acehnese live in the province, and a small number of them are elites.
It seems that Zhilu said that this order is for the purpose of buying peace, and Zhou Yutong also smiled and said: "This big military purchase order in Thailand can be done at least a billion US dollars in big business." Moreover, the people who recently fled from the Yugoslav Liberation to the refugee camps in Thailand have had serious conflicts with the military and police and the locals, and even detonated a mass 'physical' 'incident' before, causing huge losses. ”
At least before the financial crisis, although Thailand was not as fast as the Asian tigers, its economic development was also very fast, and the Thai royal family was also quite rich.
