As soon as Li Qinghua came over with the number of people in a delegation, Su Ming knew that this deal would definitely not be small, so he was extremely enthusiastic about the reception, which made Li Qinghua scold him for having a pair of snobbish eyes, but Su Ming said in a heartfelt manner, it is not uncommon for him to come, so many compatriots come over, of course, he must be warmly entertained.

When the two of them met alone, Li Qinghua said what he meant, and it was really a big deal as Su Ming imagined, 300 SS200 engines, equipped with 100 J-10 and 100 J-11 respectively; One hundred SS100 for the Flying Leopard to equip; 350 sets of super-energy metal batteries for mechanical use; Forty-three sets for submarines; optimized version of Thor 200; The retrofit of the SuperMiG was carried out on six aircraft.
Su Ming fell silent after reading this long list, such a large purchase is rare for the country, except for the purchase of the Su-27 from Russia at that time, there has not been such a large purchase, and suddenly such a purchase, there must be something big about it.
And the surname buys so many SS200 engines at one time, which is a bit too much, and it can be delivered within two years, but the 100 J-10 will take at least five years at the current production rate, so take precautions? Su Ming suddenly thought of such a possibility, was he afraid that there would be some conflict between himself and the country, so he bought some in advance and saved it?
Su Ming roughly calculated, the value of this batch of goods is more than four billion US dollars, although it is not a problem for the country, now the foreign exchange reserves are almost 200 billion US dollars, and it is nothing to take out billions to buy some weapons, but you must know that these are just supporting equipment, if all of them are calculated, the total purchase value of this batch of equipment should be about 20 billion.
You must know that the country's annual military expenditure is only $10 billion, and it can be used for equipment procurement, which is not even 20 percent, which is equivalent to spending 10 years of equipment procurement in advance.
And when Su Ming threw this question to Li Qinghua, Li Qinghua did not answer Su Ming's first question, and Li Qinghua answered the second question: "Xiao Su, we are all our own people, so I won't be polite to you, this is also the main purpose of my visit, this money, the state is not without money to pay, but in order to be less conspicuous, I hope you can answer other ways to pay, such as tax rebates and financial subsidies to give you half, The other half is paid in cash, what do you think? ”
"This?" Su Ming pondered for a while, it's not impossible, Su's subsidiaries alone have at least more than a billion yuan in domestic tax expenditures every year, and this is still cheaper than the name of the joint venture, and the payment is not too much, the tax rebate is generally a refund for a few years, and then a part of the subsidy, but it can make up for this money, but what makes Su Ming a little unhappy is that Li Qinghua does not tell himself why he purchased so many weapons.
"That's easy to say, but I just wondered, why buy so many weapons at once? Lao Li, since we are not outsiders, can you tell me why? Su Ming still decided to ask Li Qinghua to understand, after all, he was his own person.
"To be exact, I don't know this, you also know, I am acting on orders, and the above has asked to strengthen the procurement of weapons and equipment, and strive to achieve the goal of becoming a practical system within two years, this batch of modern equipment, I can only plan according to this goal, and then implement it, I really don't know why." After Li Qinghua finished speaking, he spread his hands, and Su Ming had no choice.
"Can this be produced in two years?" Su Ming pointed to the goods on the list, although there is no problem on his side, but aircraft manufacturing is not so easy, to say that the previous aircraft, such as the J-6 and J-7, are not a problem to produce hundreds of aircraft a year, with the complexity of the J-8, they can't be produced so quickly, let alone the more complex J-10 and J-11.
"The current pace of production is indispensable, that is, it has not entered the wartime system, and after entering, there should be no problem." After Li Qinghua finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have leaked his mouth.
"Look, well, why enter the wartime system, do you want to go to war? Lao Li, you are a little unrighteous, I can't say it yet, you have to be so secretive again, I can tell you, I won't accept this order, I'd rather not do this business. ”
"This ......" Li Qinghua had nothing to say at this time, seeing Su Ming's resolute face, he knew that it was impossible not to spit out some truth, so he had to say to Su Ming in embarrassment: "I really don't know the specific reason, you also know, I am only the Minister of General Armament, not the Chief of General Staff, nor the Minister of Defense, I don't know many situations, I only know that the troops in various places have raised the alert level and started to conduct pre-war drills, and the Politburo has made a resolution on the military industry to transfer to the wartime system as soon as possible, I just need to implement it, Why, this is not what I should ask, but judging from my experience, the leadership probably got concrete and reliable information and felt that there would be major changes in the international situation recently, so they made preparations for combat in advance, and this is all I know. Li Qinghua actually knew that it was the Ding Naval Region, which was in charge of the operation against Taiwan, that entered the pre-war exercise, and judged that the operation should be mainly against Taiwan, but this involved military secrets, and Su Ming could not be told.
"Changes in the international situation." It seems that there is really something big going to happen, and it should still be at the high-level stage, and there are not many people who can get exact information below, but Su Ming can also see from these purchases that almost all the purchases are naval and air equipment, and even if the combat target is not Taiwan, it is also a country in this or Southeast Asia.
"Okay, I promise you, I will arrange the production of these goods, ensure the quality and try to complete the production as soon as possible, what payment method will work." After thinking about it, Su Ming felt that this was not the time to cultivate qi, and he couldn't stop producing for others because people didn't tell him the information, and the foreign business was still accepted, it was impossible not to take the domestic business, anyway, it was all about making money, and if he didn't contribute to the country at this time, when would he wait, you must know that the products produced by the Su family are all supporting products, and they can form combat effectiveness by direct delivery.
"By the way, there's this." After Li Qinghua finished speaking, he took out a list and handed it to Su Ming: "This is Air China, China Southern Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines purchasing five of your An-22s in the name of cargo aircraft, and at the same time, there are twelve Yun-8 transformation contracts handed over to you, there is no problem with this completion, right?" ”
"No problem." The production of An-22 has entered the regular stage, ten planes a year is not a problem, as for the transformation of the Yun-8, it is simpler, Su Ming immediately agreed, fortunately, the domestic management finally realized the value of heavy transport aircraft, but it is still purchased in the name of cargo aircraft, what is it to hide it, it is not over if you buy it directly as a transport aircraft.
"As you know, we have always implemented a national defense policy of focusing on defense, and large transport planes are generally mainly attacking, so in order not to cause too much tongue, there is no way to do this." Li Qinghua naturally knew what Su Ming was thinking, and hurriedly explained to Su Ming.
"I know, I have news to tell you, those countries in Europe have also been making a lot of moves recently, and they may also have to take big actions, you can talk to Chairman Cang when you go back, or Mr. Tie, if they know, forget it, if they don't know, remind them." After all, Su Ming is still looking towards his own motherland, although the country must also be aware of this kind of thing, but Su Ming still thinks it is better to remind him.
"By the way, Xiao Su, do you think that the United States seems to be a little too stable in recent times, and he has not performed at all in such turbulence, which is not in line with their usual style?" Li Qinghua suddenly thought that something was a little abnormal, so he asked casually.
His question reminded Su Ming, yes, all countries have been moving one after another recently, and Europe and Russia are making sabre-rattling, the United States has no reaction except for two voices of support, this is too strange, but Su Ming's intelligence collection for the United States has not yet begun, and he doesn't know much about relevant intelligence, but he really feels very strange about the recent reaction of the United States, so he asked Li Qinghua: "I haven't received any relevant information here, what about your side?" ”
"I'm not the head of the intelligence department, how can I know, I just think the reaction of the United States in the recent period is very strange, especially in the area of armaments, because I am in charge of this, equipment intelligence will be sent here, recently the United States has stopped a lot of research projects that are already in progress, and some projects that are even about to be completed have been stopped, but new projects have not been carried out.
After Li Qinghua finished speaking, he looked at Su Ming, Su Ming looked at him, the two of them watched for a long time, and they didn't know what the United States was doing, so they couldn't guess and had to strengthen intelligence collection in this regard, and at the same time, Li Qinghua also told Su Ming that Su Ming must be notified if there is similar information.
The two of them are just talking about a framework, the specific purchase price, model, standard, specification, etc. will continue to be determined, and then form a text, these are the things of the people below, it took five days to determine the various technical specifications, and when Li Qinghua took people away, it was already a week later, and when he got on the plane, Su Ming told him that there would be two boxes going back with him, hoping to be treated at the highest level of confidentiality.
