Chapter 298: Poor Countries Also Play Expensive Guys

According to the different combat missions, the number of Thunder on the aircraft carrier is also different, if it is mainly for air combat or air defense, then the aircraft carrier Thunder can be increased to 200 to 300, and if the ground attack is the mainstay, it will have to be the Sea Harrier, then the Thunder on the aircraft carrier will have to be reduced to 80.

Therefore, the 600 Thor procurement plan is not the final number, after the plan of the British Ministry of Defense, there are two and three phases of the procurement plan, but it depends on what kind of combat effectiveness evaluation standards the first batch of Raytheon can achieve, and we will see how it is deployed.

If the amount is small, the British Ministry of Defense and BAE will not work so hard to curry favor with Su Ming, because the first phase of the procurement plan alone, the contract amount is more than two billion pounds, although most of this money will fall into Su's pocket, but it is still a large enough contract for BAE, not to mention the second phase, the third phase and the global sales market.

Between Thor's propulsion technology has not been cracked, if you want to buy Thor or Odin, there is only one way, that is, to cooperate with Su, and according to the detection and inference of the BAE technology department, Thor's propulsion technology is not to mention, just those anti-cracking technologies can not be overcome in a short period of time, with the current technological development, it will take at least ten years.

And Raytheon's global sales market, BAE company has simulated and calculated, at least more than 80 billion pounds, which is still after removing the data of the two largest arms markets in the United States and Russia, if you can gnaw a piece of this huge cake, not to mention the identity of a baron, no matter how high the status is, they will let the royal family take it out.

Unlike Odin, Wigman is already a world-class company, at least in terms of land armor, there are really few companies that can compare with it, but Thor is different, Galileo does not have any special advantages in this field, there is a big gap with BAE, and Thor's market prospects are far greater than Odin.

Although Galileo also has the right to sell to foreign countries, they and Italy have little influence in the world, but Britain is different, although the current Commonwealth is dead in name, but at least to put it mildly, there are still many countries willing to sell face.

The Commonwealth currently has 54 member states, including Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Canada, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Mozambique, New Zealand, Nigeria, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Zambia, Pakistan, etc., in addition to South Africa, which also belonged to the Commonwealth before, although it has now withdrawn, but still has a little influence.

Although there is no mandatory binding force on these countries, but the influence is still there, BAE has reached an agreement with South Africa before coming, once the integration is completed, South Africa is willing to purchase 70 units of Raytheon.

Of course, they won't tell Su Ming about these now, they hope to sign a cooperation agreement with Su Shi first, and then discuss this issue, but seeing Su Ming holding the plan and looking at it non-stop, they know that Su Ming must have discovered this problem.

"Let's talk about the cooperation plan first, I personally prefer the first cooperation plan, you also know that Su's Aviation United Company has just been established, it is impossible to invest a lot of manpower into the cooperation project, so it is more appropriate for us to choose the first plan, but we require you to develop the system according to the bare metal we provide, we have the right to use it for free and the right to sell the reading power."

"Oh, Mr. Su, this is simply impossible. It is absolutely impossible to read the right to sell. Meisfield shook his head violently, if that's the case, how can BAE compete with Su, one side of the machine itself makes money and can use the integrated technology for free, but the other party has to use the machine bought with real money with the technology they have worked hard to develop to compete with the other party, this is not fair at all.

"Then, according to the principle of equal treatment, it is impossible for us to give you the right to sell freely." Su Ming directly indicated to the other party, if you give me the right to sell my reading power, I will also give you the right to sell my reading power, otherwise everyone will play according to one rule.

Bateson and Meisfeld were dumbfounded, this kind of exchange is not to give room for negotiation at all, so you can't show your eloquence if you want to, but the right to sell reading power can never be given to Su Shi, and the two of them had to start bargaining with Su Ming in other aspects.

The first thing to say is naturally the price of Thor's bare machine, Su Ming doesn't want to establish a joint venture with the other party, so the price of Thor is the focus of this negotiation, Su Ming will drop the price to 4 million pounds, just bite this price, and never fall down again, Bateson and Meisfeld After calculation, they think that this price is still within an acceptable range, and finally based on this price, Su Shi is allowed to fluctuate up and down by ten percent according to the tight supply situation.

At the same time, the integrated products of BAE company are not allowed to be sold to countries within Su's restrictions, and the list of countries has become the focus of negotiations between the two sides.

The people of the bae company are unwilling, these countries are the richer countries in the Commonwealth, who do we sell to if you exclude them, Bangladesh? Tanzania? Mozambique? No kidding, the presidents of these countries are dying of starvation, and there will be money to buy weapons there.

After their arduous struggle, Su Ming only promised that Australia could be included in the list, as for India and Canada, they didn't even think about it, and as for South Africa, which they pretended to put forward casually, it was also included in the list by Su Ming very casually.

The final result is that the countries on the list, BAE company can sell Thor to it, this Su Ming has long predicted, it is impossible for such a large market in the world to occupy all of it, and the arms business is not an ordinary business, it is not that you can just be good and cheap, there are too many political factors involved, just like Su Ming will not sell them no matter how much money he takes, some countries are Su Ming is willing to sell to others, and people are not necessarily willing to buy it.

In addition to India and Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei were also temporarily banned from sale by Su Ming, Su Ming did not explain much, but everyone also knew what was going on, thinking that it was the restrictions of China behind Su Ming, but they didn't know that Su Ming took the initiative to consider the country.

The amount of the contract is as high as 24 pounds, which is not a small amount for BAE companies with annual revenues of more than 10 billion pounds, and the cooperation intention reached is only a draft, which can only be upgraded after the approval of the board of directors.

The formal signing of the two sides Su Ming is ready to be carried out in Pakistan, which is also a country of the British Commonwealth, Pakistan is not as popular as India, although Betling and Meisfeld are unwilling, but there is no problem with Su Ming, now they are begging Su Ming on the pole, Su Ming naturally does not need to consider their opinions, he has been out for many days, and he should go back to see.

But before going back, Su Ming saw Chen Huiwen again, but unfortunately Su Ming called countless times and didn't answer once, Su Ming went to her house to take a look, Chen Huiwen was not at home, what is going on, could it be said that he was deliberately hiding from himself?

However, when Su Ming checked, he saw a young man of a similar age entering and leaving the Chen family several times, although Su didn't think he was handsome, but the other party's appearance was even more average, Su Ming was very confident in this, judging from the other party's experience, he probably didn't know Chen Huiwen's whereabouts, which made Su Ming feel a little relieved.

Su Ming has his own things to do, naturally it is impossible to stay here and wait for the other party, after leaving her a message, Su Ming left Hong Kong and returned to Pakistan, at this time Zhong Haiyun and Sun Xian cooperated to negotiate a business and exported ten Thor to Namibia.

Namibia? Su Ming felt a little strange, this country is not very rich, it has not been a few years since Reading Power, it is the last colony of Reading Power in Africa, how can he have the money to buy such an expensive weapon, although ten Thor is nothing, but for such a country, buying Thor is a bit too extravagant.

However, some people are willing to pay, and they can not make money, and after all, it is the first business that Sun Xian is personally responsible for, and Su Ming is embarrassed not to let it, but I heard that the United States has a lot of interests in Namibia, Su Ming told Zhong Haiyun about his suspicions, Zhong Haiyun assured Su Ming that this batch of Thor will never fall into the hands of the Americans, and Su Ming had to sign his name on the contract.

These ten Galileo systems that Thor still use, even if Su's own system is cheaper, no country adopts it, after all, NATO's weapons represent advanced, stable and reliable, and weapons also have a reputation.

Russia's missiles are good, but Namibia is not Russia's traditional territory, and there is no interest in buying weapons from Russia, not to mention China's missiles, which are still imitations, except for China's own use, basically no country uses them, but Su Ming always feels that something is wrong, such a country comes to purchase, a little bit wrong.
