Chapter 686: Gadgets, Big Killers
"If you want to make money, you have to engage in foreign trade is the king. Thank God, thank you Yankees, they don't come to the Persian Gulf all of a sudden, we DSM don't know when they will be profitable. Dong Feng, who was smashed down by big orders one after another, was so excited that he almost forgot his surname, took the contract and said to Duke with a smirk.
"Duke, we have to seize this once-in-a-millennium opportunity to make some foreign trade versions of drones, tanks and other things, and sell them another 18 billion dollars while the Persians don't even talk about the price, so we won't have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years, and now as long as we sell them, everything we have here can be exchanged for green dollars."
It's no wonder that Dong Feng is so excited, the Persians have made several big orders one after another, and DSM suddenly saw the dawn of making a lot of money, with an order of 6 billion US dollars for the Thunder Dragon fighter and an order of 2 billion US dollars for an unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft monitoring system, DSM suddenly achieved sales of nearly 4 billion US dollars (the fighter is the same as Chengfei and 611 share of 30%).
And these things are very high, the Thunder Dragon and J-10P fighters are estimated to have at least 6 percent gross profits, and the unmanned stealth fighter monitoring system is as high as 9 percent or more, this thing is sold exclusively and high-tech, there is no other semicolon exclusive products in the world, and others can't provide similar products at all, so the Persians found it easy to use after the trial, and there is no objection to the sales price quoted by DSM.
In other words, DSM is equivalent to a gross profit of $3 billion. Although the fighter is still sold in futures, basically there is no suspense for DSM to turn around and become a money-making company in recent years, which makes Dong Feng, who is under heavy profit pressure, finally put his mind at ease. Speaking of military products, it is the real profiteering product, and if they can be sold, compared with mobile phones and televisions, military products can make money surprisingly fast.
Now that he has money in his hand, Dong Feng's heart has suddenly become steady, and his ambition has grown a lot.
"Pull it down, madman, you think you can sell so many arms anytime and anywhere, when this thing is radish and cabbage, sell it casually" Compared with Dong Feng's excitement, Duke was relatively indifferent to this unexpected surprise, on the one hand, of course, he had no operating profit pressure, and on the other hand, he was very confident that DSM would develop new products.
"If it weren't for the Persian War, you would think that the Persians would be able to buy so many things at once, and besides, there are very few countries in the world like Persia that have both demand and the ability to pay, and are also in line with the country's military diplomacy, and it is difficult to say whether there are three or five after counting, to put it bluntly, this time we are just lucky, and we just happened to hitch a ride on the country's free ride to aid the Persians."
As the leading chief expert in the military industry, Duke now has a fairly high level of intelligence sharing on the country's military dynamics, after all, he is responsible for this account, and he must figure out what the most important needs of the military are at present before he can develop marketable equipment.
Similar to the Persians, this kind of super big order, in the PLA weapons sales is also the first huge breakthrough in decades, in addition to Pakistan Railway, very few other countries purchase more than one billion dollars of main battle equipment, one by one the strength to buy the country does not look down on our foreign trade things, but we can see our foreign trade things but usually have no purchasing power, hundreds of millions of dollars of business is considered a big business.
This time, if it weren't for the Persians who couldn't buy it with money on Lao Maozi's side, they came to us, and it just so happened that what we sold was more competitive, and it had withstood the test of actual combat and achieved brilliant results, Duke and Dong Feng had to thank Lieutenant General Walker for casually sending a squadron to dare to go deep into the Persian hinterland, giving Xiaolong an excellent opportunity to encircle and annihilate.
It is estimated that this kind of opportunity is rare once in a hundred years, and it is too rare for a third world country to want to annihilate a complete fighter squadron of the US military at one time, and it is basically impossible for the Persians to have this kind of opportunity again, and even if the US military only mobilizes the US troops stationed in Iraq and the Gulf to attack, it will not let the Persians have such an opportunity.
Moreover, if there is no large-scale war in the world, the entire open arms market in the world will be about $70 billion or $80 billion every year, of which the Americans usually take more than half of it according to the usual practice, and this situation will not be reversed all at once with the huge purchase by the Persians.
So Duke knew that Dong Feng, this kid, was a little whimsical.
"What's more, our UAVs are mainly used in ground force operations, and before the Persians are cleared of the air threat and the Persian command system is basically paralyzed, the US military will not dispatch ground forces to attack, and the ground war cannot be fought, and the tactical UAVs that support local reconnaissance in ground operations, don't you want to sell them to the Persian Army. The main threat they face now is the air. ”
Although the DSM is now at the world's advanced level in UAV technology, it is obvious that the PLA will not sell it because of the two big killers of the Shadow and the Terminator, and the remaining Jingwei and Pterodactyl, two small and medium-sized tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, are usually used in the army's forward tactical reconnaissance.
Therefore, even if Duke improves products that can be used for foreign trade, the Persians will not look down on them, let alone equip them in large quantities.
"Then tanks are always needed, right? According to the intelligence I have seen, the main battle tanks of the Persians are quite old, mainly T-54/T-55 and T-59 old third-rate tanks, as well as T-72 tanks and the domestically produced Zulfikar two second-rate tanks, these tanks are simply vulnerable compared to our 99S tanks, and it is not ideal for us to make a simplified version of the 99S and sell it together with UAVs. Seeing that the two series of products he conceived were criticized by Duke, Dong Feng asked with some unwillingness.
"The 99S we developed has a very good natural performance, but because this main battle tank is the next generation of the main tank of the People's Liberation Army, the General Staff will definitely not let us sell it, this kind of thing Pakistan has always wanted to purchase two or three regiments as the main force of its armored division, and the General Staff has not agreed.
On the one hand, due to the large demand for domestic installations, we can't keep up with the number of production, not to mention that now there are 9 main armored divisions and 12 armored brigades in China, even if one-third of the demand for refitting will be more than 1,500 vehicles, and the current production capacity may not be able to complete this goal in 3 years. Duke said.
"Can we upgrade these replacement tanks and sell them? Just like we did with the J-7, it can be recycled. Dong Feng asked reluctantly, "At least the tanks we replaced are much stronger than those old third-rate tanks of the Persians, such as the T59D/T79, the armor-piercing ability of the main gun of the 105mm rifled tank is quite good, and it can penetrate two T-54/T-55 tanks placed side by side, which is not a little stronger than the T-54/T-55 of the Persians." ”
"Crazy, but you have to know that the Persians are not facing old tanks like the T-54/T-55, but the M1A2sep Abrams of the US Army, and our replaced tanks are almost targets in the face of this advanced tank. Duke ruthlessly pierced Dong Feng's fantasies.
Dong Feng didn't expect that his two ideas were all denied by Duke, and to be honest, Duke was not bad at all, the weapons of the army, DSM really don't need to think about it, there are no fist products that can enter the international market, and there is also a lack of relevant accumulation.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Duke, what do you say to be our next DSM product?" Dong Feng asked, now that DSM is getting bigger and bigger, it is not difficult for DSM to survive even if it accepts funding from the parent company of SAL in the case of a small scale, but now DSM has invested tens of billions of dollars at every turn, and it is not possible without product profit support.
Now the fighter relies on the cooperation with Chengfei, which can be regarded as a fist product, and the unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft monitoring system product, Dong Feng is actually not very optimistic about the follow-up, the scope of application of this thing is limited, except for the Persians, a country that directly confronts the Yankees, it is unlikely that other countries will use it.
"I think we should work our monitoring system to make a portable mobile early warning system with more functions, and the future market may be good." To Dong Feng's surprise, Duke was ready to carry out in-depth development of the monitoring system that he was not optimistic about.
"We have a technical advantage in this aspect, after all, the core technology of this system comes from communication technology, which belongs to passive monitoring, and can be used to monitor the communication of fighters or ships to determine the approximate range of its acquisition, which is a good long-range early warning system." Duke looked at the confusion in Dong Feng's eyes and explained further.
"We now have more details on the communication technology of US fighters and warships, and basically the communication methods of major US fighters or capital ships have been studied and data accumulated, and we can completely study a general-purpose long-range early warning system for the communication of US main battle equipment."
"In terms of cost, the manufacturing cost of this kind of thing we develop can be relatively low, so that although the price of each one is not too high, tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars a monitoring point, but this thing is to be sold on the Internet, so the amount is considerable, just like we sell to the Persians, a country to build a network then the total sales are also considerable."
"Another important thing is that we can control the identification range of this kind of thing through software coding, and even if it leaks out, there is no threat to our army's main battle equipment. And there is no fear of being criticized in international political relations, which is definitely a typical defensive military product. In countries that need to defend against U.S.-based equipment, this system is a perfect match for radar systems. ”
"Specialized in the surveillance system of the US military? This is good! Dong Feng nodded, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, "Duke, it's still your kid's brain, I look at the mobile version of this kind of thing, we can completely let Dongfang Qiyang develop an off-road small car to cooperate, and maybe through this thing, it will also add a new growth point to Dongfang Qiyang." ”
Speaking of this, Dong Feng's heart suddenly moved, "Duke, you said that we are developing a decoy system for the radar system, is it possible to activate the decoy when encountering the attack of the enemy's anti-radiation missiles?" ”
(Thank you for the support of the QXG monthly pass, and thank you for adding more tomorrow!) In addition, tomorrow is the new year, summoning a monthly pass. Finally, I wish all book friends all the best in the new year! )
