Chapter 130: Big Business
The 'professor' didn't expect that Joga would go out and bring back a Minister of Defense.
Although he is the defense minister of Central Africa, he is a real 'big man', a 'big man' who can go to the United Nations and tear people apart.
However, Central Africa is a sanctioned arms embargo, and the 'professor' knows that doing business with such a person must go through an intermediary like Choga, otherwise even if the negotiation is completed, the Jug-Inbert company may not be able to deliver the goods.
The 'professor' took the initiative to say hello to Marie Honora, then asked his wife and daughter to visit the Central African Minister of Defense, and then took his assistant Andre and began to move out the legal provisions of the Europa and Afica countries, ready to assist Joga in completing this important negotiation.
Qiao Jia was not nervous at all at this time, he beckoned his own people to come and see the 'big man', and then told the butler to start the meal.
The buffet of the villa is to cope with the reception of about 50 people, and the overall specifications are decent, and the content is mainly seafood.
Marie Enola only brought six bodyguards, and even with the addition of Joga and the soldiers of the 63rd Brigade on shift, it still looked a little deserted.
However, Joga and Marie Enola's energy was not on food, and after a few casual bites, Marie Enola took a glass of champagne and was accompanied by Joga to the small exhibition hall that had just been set up today.
This middle-aged woman with a kind face and a slightly chubby body put down her champagne and skillfully picked up the modular rifle of the high-imitation FN-SCAR, skillfully pulled the handle to check the chamber, and then smiled at Qiaojia and said: "This is a very good gun, but unfortunately our army can't afford it." ”
Qiao Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "There are not many countries that can replace all of them with this kind of rifle. ”
Qiaojia's words are a bit of a change of concept to comfort people, because if it is FN-SCAR, most countries may not be able to afford it, but high imitations are not necessarily.
It's just that arms have national borders, and even if the superpowers have inferior rifles made in their own countries, they will definitely give priority to using their own products, such as the British L85 series rifles.
The British insisted on upgrading the L85 series to L85A3 despite the army's scolding.
He looked at the big bodyguard who had been following Marie Enola with his eyes on the table and his gun.
Looking at the historical pistol and holster on the guy's waist, Choga thought for a while, picked up an EZ9 pistol that still smelled of gun oil, handed it to him along with a new holster and two empty magazines, and said with a smile: "It's a gift, you need a reliable weapon to protect Minister Enola, your Makarov is a good gun, but he seems to be a little old." ”
Mary Enola looked at her bodyguard's slightly cramped expression, she smiled and waved her hand and said, "Since it was given by Mr. Jackal, then you can accept it." ”
Saying that, Marie Enola looked at Joga and said with a smile: "I believe that Mr. Jackal will not be stingy to help my other bodyguards get better pistols, they really need it." ”
As the Minister of Defense of Central Africa, Marie Enola does seem very approachable, but this also reflects the weakness of Central Africa.
Her bodyguard gear couldn't really be that good, and there were definitely automatic rifles, but they couldn't carry them around in Tunisia.
Marie Enola's security could have been lax, but Joga didn't see a hint of uneasiness in her.
Either she has no enemies, or her enemies are so bad that they can't be assassinated by non-native people.
Thinking about it in this way, Qiaojia's confidence is even more sufficient, and in this case, China and Africa will definitely not want any advanced weapons.
EZ9 This kind of pistol can only be regarded as passing in the eyes of Joga, and in the face of Marie Enola's joking begging, Joga smiled and waved his hand and said: "Then one per person, these are carefully selected samples, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed." ”
As he spoke, Joga beckoned to change the shift, and Carman followed his Dorian and said, "Take 5 pistols and go and change them for our friends." ”
It may have been that Marie Enola's generosity had impressed Marie Enola, who walked along the small arms booth and nodded, "These are all very useful weapons, but we may want more." ”
Joga heard something, he beckoned Mary Enola to sit down on a set of sofas, took a sip of the juice handed by Nice, then looked at Enola, and said, "What do you want?" ”
Enola glanced at Nice, who was standing behind Joga with a notebook and pen, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "We need a lot of squad weapons and ammunition, automatic rifles, machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, RPGs......
In addition to these, we need armored vehicles, tanks, artillery. ”
When Joga heard this, he looked to the far end of the exhibition hall, where the 'Professor' was nodding desperately, and telling him with the shape of his mouth, 'Both' and 'Both'......
Qiaojia was not carried away like the 'professor', this thing is not high-end, the front ones are easy to say, but armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, even if these things are there, how can I transport them to her?
As the name suggests, China and Africa are in the middle of Afica, leaving the air freight, and other delivery routes have to enter other countries.
As long as the light weapons are good, the 'Professor' has the power to use the special case of the trade, and get an An-12 to make a few more round-trip trips, and then the business can be done.
But armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery are too strenuous, armored vehicles are okay, and Choga really doesn't think that Central Africa can afford tanks and artillery.
According to Qiaojia's understanding, the market price of a 155-mm howitzer should be around 4,000 US dollars, and how many shots can a country with a per capita GDP of only a few hundred dollars in Central Africa?
Joga doesn't want a one-shot deal, his industry channels are too narrow, and a defense minister is already the top bigwig he can get in touch with.
Regardless of whether she is a layman or not, the most important thing now is to make her customers shake up, and then she can expand her influence in Afica and attract more customers.
Looking at the expectant look in Marie Enola's eyes, Qiao Jia nodded and said: "I have all of what you said, and even if you ask a little higher, I still have advanced high-mobility wheeled self-propelled guns here, as well as a large number of vehicle-mounted rocket launchers."
Even a little more at the high end, I have a 400 mm guided rocket artillery system. ”
Saying that, Joga looked at Marie Enola's surprised expression, and he said with a smile: "Ms. Enola, you were introduced by a friend, so let me tell you the truth, doing business with the Central African Republic of China is risky, and I need a sufficient price to smooth out the risk."
I'm going to start by knowing how much budget you can come up with, and then we're talking about what do you get?
As long as the money is in place, I will definitely be able to meet your needs.
Personally, though, I would recommend ditching tanks and cannons, as they are too expensive to use, and an old-fashioned RPG that costs 300 blocks can scrap them.
If you really want to have armored forces in Central Africa, I recommend you to choose this 'Lazar Type 3' multifunctional armored vehicle.
With a dead weight of 28 tons, an 8*8 wheeled structure, a load of 12 people, and an automatic weapon tower containing heavy machine guns and anti-tank missiles,
For $2.2 million a car, I can deliver it to my door, but first you have to tell me which country you have better relations with so that I don't have to go around in circles. ”
Hearing Qiaoga's offer of 2.2 million, the eyes of the 'professor' at the far end straightened, because he clearly knew that the factory price of the regular version of Lazar 3 was only 950,000 US dollars.
Now that Joga's offer has doubled and turned a corner, the defense minister still seems to be quite cheap, which makes the 'professor' a little confused.
Not only was the 'Professor' scratching his head, but Marie Enola's interest was a bit confusing for Joga as well.
Of course, Choga believes that the Central African government will be able to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars on arms as long as it is willing to put in the belt of its pants, but this thing is a drop in the bucket for the entire army.
What can you do with 100 million to buy 40 armored vehicles?
For the same 100 million, you can buy 100,000 rifles, and in Afika this is an army of 100,000.
Joga's offer contained a bit of intimidation, wanting to make Marie Enola retreat and consider more practical light weapons, but what he didn't expect was that Marie Enola was actually quite interested.
If you can become the Minister of Defense, you will always be able to settle accounts!
For a country whose defense is all supported by 'big brother', Marie Enola's performance now is a bit of a mispayment for money.
Probably sensing Joga's thoughts, Mary smiled kindly and glanced around.
Joga looked at it, turned his head to look at Ness, and said, "You all go out and let everyone stay out of here." ”
When everyone left, leaving Joga and Enola sitting across from each other, the kind-looking black aunt said, "Actually, I have a lot of choices, and I don't have to be you, but you're not too greedy......"
Qiao Jia frowned slightly and spread his hands and said, "Then should I be honored?" ”
Enola waved her hand and said: "You should know the situation in Central Africa, most of the weapons of our army are sponsored by Russia, and the security of our capital depends on the help of Russian defense companies."
We want to develop our own defense enterprise, but our necks are stuck.
The rebels entrenched near the border between Central Africa and the Congo are constantly ravaging our towns, taking our children and training them to become scouts and let them come back to fight their own people.
Not only are we suffering, but our neighbour Congo is also bleeding.
We need enough weapons to arm our armies and let them guard our towns. ”
Qiao Jia nodded in understanding and said, "I can understand your feelings, but I still suggest that you consider using the money you have in the most suitable place, because dozens of armored vehicles will not solve your problem." ”
Mary Enola listened, looked into Joga's eyes and said: "Armored vehicles can't be solved, but those who can afford to sell armored vehicles can."
In fact, this purchase is not as ...... as you think"
