Chapter 366: The Arms Business

PS: (Thanks to the precious monthly ticket voted by Yifan and Ryoma 123)

The smile on Clark's face froze, but he quickly adjusted his mood and nodded approvingly, "You are right, our boss is a very generous person, and it is his forgiveness that gives me the opportunity to stand here." ”

Chen Hao took Clark to the reception room of the Cam Ranh Bay Command Headquarters and said straight to the point: "Mr. Clark, what is the matter with Mr. Silva sending you to Cam Ranh Bay?" Needless to say, if it's just to get the arms back, a lot of guns and ammunition have already been given to the player. ”

Clark said exaggeratedly: "Mr. Chen, you said that you Huaxia people are true to their word, if our boss cooperates with you and gives you greater benefits, you will give us back that shipload of arms, right?" ”

Chen Hao nodded and said, "Of course, but as far as I know, Mr. Silva has always advocated supporting the Vietnamese against me, how can he cooperate with me?" ”

Clark sneered: "Our boss supports the Vietnamese monkeys because he thought that the Vietnamese monkeys could defeat Mr. Chen, but now he is not optimistic about the Vietnamese." Our boss is just a businessman who supported the Vietnamese attack on Cam Ranh Bay for business, and now he feels that working with Mr. Chen is beneficial for both of us. ”

"What's the benefit?" Chen Hao said with a smile.

Clark solemnly said: "Doing an arms business in the real world is extremely risky, but it is also very profitable, and the game's premise of respecting history also makes the industry profitable. Our boss has been laid out since he entered the game, and now we have contacts in some famous weapons companies in Europe, such as Krupp, Mauser, etc., so we have a stable supply. When Mr. Chen, you occupied Cam Ranh Bay, our boss saw an opportunity to get the other French players to agree to sell arms to the Vietnamese......"

"After the failure of the first offensive of the Vietnamese. The boss was going to continue selling arms to the Vietnamese, but other players in our country were doing the same. Since the purchasing power of the Vietnamese is not strong, they only need second-rate weapons, so many people in our country have started to do the arms business, and our boss has no advantage. In order to expand the arms business, our boss needs a partner. A partner who can transport arms from the South Seas to the Chinese mainland. ”

"You have a lot more rich people in China than in Vietnam, and you have a huge player base, if Mr. Chen can sell arms to China, then we will be a strong alliance. Our boss doesn't care how you develop in Vietnam, as long as you don't expand in Vietnam too early to stimulate our players, he can continue to cooperate with you......"

Chen Hao showed a strong interest in Clark's words, and he originally had the intention of cooperating when he met Clark, hoping to find a partner in Europe who could buy advanced weapons and equipment. If Silva can get weapons from military giants such as Mauser and Krupp in the game, then Chen Hao's main purpose can be achieved. If you can further cooperate with Silva and sell weapons to the Huaxia Continent, then the benefits will be even greater.

Huaxia has the largest player base in the world, and it needs the most weapons and ammunition, but Huaxia does not have a decent arsenal, and there is a huge gap in weapons and ammunition. It's not that foreign players haven't thought about selling weapons to China, but they can't do this, and the powers in the game have embargoed weapons on China. If they sell weapons directly to Huaxia, they will be interfered with.

In the game, they are not only Chinese, but they don't care about the threat of foreign powers. At present, Chen Hao is really the only one who can transport weapons to Huaxia. Chen Hao has a large fleet in his hands, and he can sail freely in the South Seas, and after Silva transports the arms to the South Seas, Chen Hao can completely transport the arms to the mainland and exchange them for real money.

Silva suddenly had the idea of cooperation, mainly because Chen Hao led a fleet to wreak havoc along the coast of Vietnam, which made him discover a business opportunity. As Clark put it. This is beneficial to both sides, and the key is how to distribute the benefits of joint arms business.

After listening to Clark's explanation, Chen Hao nodded and said, "I agree with Mr. Silva's plan, but the details still need to be negotiated, such as at what price I should buy the arms you shipped to Nanyang." ”

Clark was overjoyed after convincing Chen Hao. He hurriedly said: "Our boss can earn three times the profit by transporting arms to Nanyang, but many links in Europe need to be sorted out, and the actual profit is only twice as much." If Mr. Chen is willing to cooperate, our boss is willing to sell it to you at a price equivalent to 70% of your country's NPC foreign company. For example, the Mauser 1888 rifle is sold for 150 silver dollars in your country, and we only charge you 105 silver dollars. ”

NPC stores opened by foreigners in China sell weapons, but the price is very high, and they cannot be purchased in large quantities. According to Clark, Chen Hao bought it at the price of 105 silver dollars a rifle, and there was still a profit when he returned to Huaxia. What he said was the truth, but Chen Hao also needed connections to transport weapons into Huaxia, and there was only about ten silver dollars left in the profit of all aspects.

In fact, even if the profit is very low, Chen Hao will do this business, Huaxia players have a huge population base, and the biggest disadvantage compared to players from other powers is the lack of weapons and ammunition. If Silva supplies a large number of weapons and ammunition and he ships weapons and ammunition back to China for sale, it will improve the overall strength of Chinese players, and Chinese players can play a more important role in the future game plot.

Moreover, due to the small number of guns in the foreign bank, it is difficult for a force to buy standard rifles through the foreign bank, and the price of guns and ammunition of the uniform caliber sold by Chen Hao can be higher than that of the foreign bank. In addition to players, some special NPCs have a lot of real money in their hands, but they have no way to buy weapons, such as Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin and others in the Northeast.

During Chen Hao's time in Yingkou, these people were nominally his subordinates, and now they are all the bosses of the party, if Chen Hao wants to command them, it is impossible, but if it is to sell weapons to them, there is absolutely no problem. The large and small armed forces in the Northeast need guns and ammunition is a huge number, and these armed forces are willing to pay a high price to buy good guns.

Although he was already tempted by Clark's conditions, Chen Hao said with an angry face: "Mr. Clark, I think you lack sincerity!" The price of guns in our country is very unreasonable, such as the Mauser 1888 Commission rifle, which is worth only twenty or thirty silver dollars in your country, but it is priced at 120 silver dollars in China. According to what you say, if I buy from you at seventy percent of the price, then I will spend eighty-four silver dollars, and you will have three times the profit, but I can only sell it in the country at ninety silver dollars, and I will make almost no profit. ”

Although Silva is shrewd, he does not know the situation in China, and he also thinks that the price of guns sold by foreign companies is too dark. He instructed Clark to sell it at 70% of the price of a foreign company in China, but he didn't have much hope, and the psychological bottom line he could accept was actually double the profit.

Seeing that Chen Hao was angry, Clark hurriedly changed his words and said, "Mr. Chen, we can discuss the business slowly!" Our boss takes a lot more risk than Mr. Chen when he transports weapons from Europe to the South Seas, so it's only fair that we make more profits, right? So be it! We sell weapons to you at 50% of the price of foreign companies in your country. ”

Chen Hao stubbornly shook his head and said, "Mr. Clark, I said that the pricing of weapons by those foreign companies in China is unreasonable, so there is no need for us to refer to the pricing of foreign banks. I like to be simple, you have a hard time transporting weapons from Europe to the South Seas, how about I buy them at twice the price of similar weapons in the European market? For example, if the Mauser G98 rifle was sold for 100 francs in the European market during the same period, I would buy the weapons you shipped to the South Seas for 200 francs. ”

Clarke's face froze, and he cursed incessantly in his heart, even wondering if the damned Huaxia had heard his conversation with Silva. Silva's bottom line in his heart is to double the profit, and the Chinese people even think that twice the profit is the most reasonable, so although a cooperation agreement has been reached, he will not be brilliant in front of the boss when he goes back.

Clark was unwilling to entangle with Chen Hao, but Chen Hao looked unmoved, and bit the bite to buy it at twice the European market price. In desperation, Clark said that he wanted to ask Silva for advice first, and after borrowing the radio station in Cam Ranh Bay to send the report, he received a call back from Silva agreeing to it a short time.

After reaching a cooperation agreement, Chen Hao was in a good mood, and he commanded a banquet to entertain Clark. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Clark smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, now that we are in a cooperative relationship, shouldn't you return the weapons and ammunition you robbed us?" Or if you send these weapons and ammunition to China for sale, it will be regarded as the first batch of goods we hand over to you, and then you can pay us twice the price. ”

Chen Hao spread his hands and said, "This is impossible!" We were in a hostile relationship at the time, and that was my capture. I've already given most of the guns and ammunition to players for free, and Mr. Clark asked about it, so I can't ship the arms back home for sale. But since we are all allies, I can't let you suffer in vain, and I'll return the capital of your arms when I have more money. ”

The shipload of arms that Clark transported was worth nearly one million francs, and the cost was also about half a million francs, and it was difficult for him to get the cost back. Silva felt that Chen Hao was a good partner because he recognized Chen Hao's strength, but now Chen Hao had almost no liquidity in his hands, and if he really returned all the arms worth millions of francs to Silva, he would be very painful, and it would be too unkind to swallow it completely, so he promised to pay back the cost price.

Chen Hao is now very short of money, and after reaching a cooperation agreement with Silva, if he has money, he can buy artillery through Silva. A large-caliber Krupp cannon costs tens of thousands of silver dollars, and he plans to use more than 500 Krupp cannons to improve the defense of Cam Ranh Bay, and the amount of money required is an astronomical amount, so the matter of finding pirate treasure must be put on the agenda.
