Chapter 151: Horror Numbers! Harvest $70 billion in military spending! We've got money!
Now.
After hearing the price in Jiang Chen's mouth.
The entire exhibition site fell silent again, and everyone looked at Jiang Chen in a daze.
Even a big dog who doesn't look bad for money can't help but be a little dumbfounded!
A firearm for half a million dollars? That's a bit outrageous, isn't it?
Suddenly.
In the entire live broadcast room, all the audience couldn't sit still for a while.
The barrage is like a storm, constantly slapping into the sky above the screen!
"Damn?? The price can't be described as expensive."
"Is there a wrong price, 50,000 US dollars, right??"
"Half a million dollars? Is it close to 3.5 million RMB that can only buy a gun? ”
"A good guy, a gun is equivalent to a suite in a first-tier city, right?"
"To be reasonable, what kind of electromagnetic firearm is this, this is simply a moving gold brick?"
They all wondered if Jiang Chen had misquoted the price and said that 50,000 was 500,000 US dollars?
You know, the average anti-tank firearm costs only $10,000 or $20,000 a piece, and at most $30,000 or $40,000.
Even if it is a precision-guided air-to-air missile, the price of one is generally five or six hundred thousand US dollars!
This is completely selling a rifle for the price of a missile, right?
"Mr. Jiang Chen. His Excellency the Crown Prince is asking. ”
"Are you sure you didn't quote the wrong price? Is $500,000 a bit too expensive?"
"Could it be cheaper... He really wanted to buy it. The interpreter on the side asked.
The crown prince of this big dog family frowned, this price was really beyond his expectations!
Although I had long guessed that the price would not be cheap, I didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Hear this.
"There is no error. Since this is a new electromagnetic weapon, it is much more expensive to manufacture than a normal firearm! ”
"That's why we're selling it so expensive."
"And in terms of its performance, I believe the price is very reasonable"
Jiang Chen slowly opened his mouth to explain, and said with a look of embarrassment.
A high-performance anti-tank sniper rifle costs tens of thousands of dollars, and the price of this electromagnetic weapon is very reasonable at half a thousand dollars.
In terms of manufacturing costs, it is also two or three times more expensive than ordinary firearms.
As if seeing the hesitation on the face of this big dog, Jiang Chen then said:
"Although its price is more expensive. But it's different from Gundam! ”
"It doesn't need to be bundled with any trading conditions, it can be purchased separately!"
"And comes with a cardinal bullet and an energy magazine." (Rifle one base: 200 rounds!) )
What's more, as long as you buy a billion dollars of electromagnetic weapons, you can also buy an additional Gundam.
This is also a big temptation for big dogs!
And the cost of giving away bullets and energy magazines is only a few tens of dollars, which is not important at all.
Merely.
The big dog didn't rush to place an order, but instead asked a question:
"Mr. Jiang Chen. How durable is this electromagnetic weapon? ”
"After all, the desert terrain over there is more harsh on the use of firearms!"
This is even more important for firearms, whether they can withstand the grinding of long battles!
If durability is not good, no matter how good the performance is, you will not buy it.
Although they are called big dogs, it doesn't mean that people are really stupid and have a lot of money.
"This electromagnetic rifle can be used in any environment."
"A conservative estimate has a service life of more than 100,000 ordinary bullets!"
"If you take proper care and try to use multi-point bursts, you can use more than 200,000 ordinary bullets."
"One bullet (armor-piercing) at full power would be equivalent to fifty normal bullets."
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen continued to report this set of figures.
When I was in the Academy of Sciences, I had already tested the ultimate service life.
You must know that the average automatic rifle only has a service life of more than 10,000 rounds, and the ordinary sniper rifle has only 1,000 rounds.
This electromagnetic weapon can crush almost any firearm in terms of service life.
Listen to the data.
"Okay, we're going to buy two thousand electromagnetic rifles!"
"Each firearm is equipped with fifty base bullets and ten energy magazines."
"Use your quota to buy a Giant Gundam."
After hesitating for a moment, the big dog said directly.
Anyway, it doesn't add up to a lot of money, just over a billion dollars.
Order 2,000 electromagnetic weapons to try first, if the effect is good. When the time comes, buy some in large quantities.
"Armor-piercing bullets are needed extra. An armor-piercing bullet costs a hundred dollars! ”
"Your Excellency the Crown Prince, do you need to buy some?"
Jiang Chen seemed to suddenly remember something, and opened his mouth to prompt.
They don't have armor-piercing bullets in the bullets they come with, after all, this thing is not cheap to make.
"Again, buy fifty bases per firearm." The big dog didn't even frown, and replied directly.
For him, this amount of money is just a day's pocket money, even if it is a hundred dollars a hair, it adds up to tens of millions.
As long as it can increase the combat effectiveness of their army, this money is nothing at all.
When I saw that the big dogs were directly and decisively shot!
The other desert oil kingdoms did not hesitate and began to buy one after another!
"Mr. Jiang Chen. We also buy two thousand electromagnetic rifles"
"We need a thousand. There are only twenty bases and five energy magazines! ”
"Fifteen hundred electromagnetic rifles are the same as twenty bases."
"We don't have that much foreign exchange for the time being, can we exchange natural gas energy?"
The entire exhibition site once again fell into chaos.
Whether it is some desert oil kingdom or a third country, this electromagnetic rifle is being purchased.
For Black State, Latin America and other places where military equipment is relatively backward.
What airplanes, cannons, tanks, or gundams are not easy to use, even after spending a lot of money to buy them.
With the per capita education level of prenatal education in the local people, no one can drive it when it is bought!
What really comes in handy is still the simple and easy-to-use firearms, after all, you just need to learn to pull the trigger!
If it is not stipulated in advance, a minimum of 100 will be sold, and even many poor countries will plan to buy a few to give it a try.
At this time.
The busiest person was not Jiang Chen, but several staff members of the General Armament Department at the scene.
The sale of weapons and equipment for foreign trade must be carried out by this department, which is responsible for signing contracts.
Contracts are constantly being signed, and the amount is almost always in hundreds of millions!
Look at the scene in front of you.
Jiang Chen's face bloomed with a smile called joy, which was particularly attention-grabbing.
"Brother Chen. Why are you smiling more than you were just now?? ”
"Is it because the electromagnetic rifle sells well?"
Reba looked at the smile on Jiang Chen's face and asked with some puzzlement.
She usually rarely saw Jiang Chen laugh so unscrupulously.
People can perceive at a glance the mood he wants to express in his heart.
"This electromagnetic rifle is selling so well, who wouldn't be happy?"
"If you can make money, you will be happy!"
Jiang Chen shook his head, touched Reba's little head and said.
"That doesn't seem like much, does it?"
"The total number of contracts signed so far seems to be only five or six billion dollars!"
Together with Yang Mi and Liu Sisi on the side, they also looked a little puzzled.
This number is naturally very huge, but it is not worth Jiang Chen's excitement, right?
After all, just now the sale of synthetic brigades and Gundams, that is a random order is tens of billions of dollars.
That's a lot more than all of these electromagnetic rifles combined.
I heard the words of the two of them.
"You think. Does this electromagnetic weapon cost money on the firearm itself? ”
"The current billions of dollars are just the purchase price!"
"No bullets for follow-up training? Doesn't it cost money? ”
Jiang Chen shook his head and explained with a smile.
This is a firearm with a rate of fire of more than 3,000 rounds a minute, a normal bullet costs one dollar, and an armor-piercing bullet costs one hundred dollars.
I'm afraid that just for ordinary training, I am afraid that it will require the consumption of countless ammunition.
And an energy magazine of $100 cannot be used indefinitely.
In addition, the firearm also has ultra-high strength and durability, and it is extremely depleting ammunition reserves.
Over time, I'm afraid that just buying bullets and energy magazines will be a lot of money!
"Oh, I see!"
"The more electromagnetic weapons you buy now, the more money you will earn later"
"No wonder you're so happy!"
Yang Mi suddenly reacted and nodded in realization.
It's not that she hasn't seen this kind of business method, so she naturally knows it very well.
Time.
In the live broadcast room, it was as if it had exploded at the moment, and the barrage continued to bombard the screen.
"Damn?? That's what it looks like."
"It's the equivalent of buying a car, and you have to spend money on maintenance every year!"
"Billions of dollars in electromagnetic weapons are purchased, and it is likely that tens of billions of dollars will be spent on maintenance in the future."
"What's more important is that you spent $500,000 on a firearm, how can you not use it because you spent money?"
Not to mention military fans, even ordinary viewers instantly understood this idea.
It's like collecting interest, and that electromagnetic weapon is the principal, and as long as you use it, you will bring a steady stream of money.
And with half a million dollars in sunk costs, how could you not continue to use it?
This is the absolute conspiracy!
Meanwhile.
The big oil dog over there has just signed a contract.
Merely.
"Your Excellency the Crown Prince. Isn't it risky for us to do this? ”
"We're using Huaxia's Gundam and Synthetic Brigade!"
"Now even firearms have to be reloaded with electromagnetic rifles. Once fully popularized. ”
What does this mean? You should be pretty clear! ”
A middle-aged man standing next to the big dog said with a somewhat unsightly face.
It's all about putting all your eggs in one basket and doesn't fit their position at all.
"Uncle. Of course I know. ”
"We don't care, though. The thighs of the hug sauce are also hugged! ”
"Can't we try to change to Huaxia? Don't worry! ”
The crown prince stared ahead, firmness in his voice!
This means that if there is any mistake in the army unit, it can only be replaced with Huaxia equipment.
It also means that they have begun to gradually start picking sides!
What's more, at present, Yingjiang itself is an oil-producing country, and it is completely a competitor of their big dogs!
The other side.
"This even firearms market. Do you want to preempt it clean? ”
"Then how can we sell in the arms trade?"
"Armored vehicles, tanks . Huaxia was directly sold as a formed synthetic brigade! ”
Mao Xiong and Gallic chickens and other countries also said with a sad face.
There is a Gundam in front and an electromagnetic rifle in the back, and they have to compete with Ying-chan for the market, how can they play?
Originally, their market share was constantly eroded, and now it has been swallowed up by most of it!
It seems that at present, it can only pick up orders that Huaxia does not want.
For example, the large number of cheap firearms exported for hundreds of dollars barely barely fed.
"Report to the Supreme Council. And several military-industrial complexes! ”
"We have to find a way to solve this problem, we have to take this market back!"
"We can't afford to lose that share!"
On Ying-chan's side, an army commander said through gritted teeth.
This is a supermarket that sells more than a trillion dollars a year!
Their annual foreign military trade alone has reached hundreds of billions of dollars!
In the past, the sauce once occupied 40% of the market share, but now it has been eaten up by more than 5%.
Behind this is the interest of tens of billions of dollars every year.
If we lose this market, what will we rely on to maintain the high cost of the army?
And what should those huge military-industrial complexes eat?
Two hours later, the live broadcast was coming to an end.
Jiang Chen was in the convention and exhibition center, constantly explaining and introducing various weapons and equipment.
[Popularity +0.1!] 】
[Popularity +0.05!] 】
[Popularity +0.2!] 】
[Popularity +0.5!] 】
After two hours of live broadcast, the popularity value has once again increased by 1,000 points!
[Popularity: 7100 points!] 】
"It's getting weaker and weaker."
"It seems that this time the popularity point has been harvested"
Jiang Chen looked at the popularity value that was rising more and more slowly, and muttered in his heart.
After all, it is only the introduction of conventional weapons and equipment, and the emotional fluctuations of the audience are not too frequent.
Thinking of this, I looked at the time on my phone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen"
"That's the end of today's live broadcast, we'll see you next time!"
Still ignoring the remarks on the barrage, Jiang Chen directly closed the live broadcast.
Since they no longer increase their popularity, there is no point in continuing to broadcast live.
A moment later.
Several people slowly walked out of the convention and exhibition center, and it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon.
It was at this time.
"Sister Honey."
"It's still early, why don't we go shopping?"
Jiang Chen took Yang Mi's hand and said with a smile on his face.
Anyway, his task of selling Gundam and electromagnetic weapons today has been completed, and he won't have much research and development work when he goes back to the Academy of Sciences.
He remembered that he hadn't gone out with Yang Mi for a long time, and suddenly wanted to go shopping with her.
After all, it is estimated that Yang Mi has been busy enough during this period of time.
Hear this.
Yang Mi's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light, and a smile appeared on her face.
However, before she could speak.
"Brother Chen. I'm going to play too!! ”
"I haven't been out in a long time, take me with you!"
Reba on the side stopped doing it and hurriedly spoke.
Since Jiang Chen started R&D work, she hasn't gone out with Jiang Chen a few times.
"Mimi. You don't mind if I join in the fun, right?? ”
"I'm in Yanjing, but I only have a few good friends of you!"
Liu Sisi also pretended to be pitiful and said.
She didn't allow it, so she left herself alone and let Jiang Chen and Yang Mi fly together!
"Let's go. I remember having a nice restaurant, going to eat first. ”
Yang Mi looked at these two people and said helplessly.
Time flies.
The next day.
In the Yanjing International Convention and Exhibition Center, the weapons exhibition is still being held at this moment.
The scene is very lively, and it is still crowded.
However, all the orders that should be signed have been signed yesterday.
Today it is more open to tourists than to conduct foreign trade activities.
And at this time.
Inside an office.
Several people are constantly counting the accounts and the number of contracts!
All kinds of files and data are stacked all over this room.
After a busy night, looking at the numbers in front of them, everyone had great horror on their faces!
"Hey, I'm not mistaken, right?? Is this number true? ”
"Did yesterday's sales really reach that much?? It's the first time I've seen it. You can sell so many foreign trade arms in one day! ”
This officer of the General Armament Department said with some doubts.
He took the document non-stop, and immediately said to Jiang Chen.
"Chief Engineer Jiang, we signed a total of 70 billion US dollars in orders yesterday!"
"30% of the advance payment, or $21 billion, has already been remitted!"
"It's been calculated again and again, please check!"
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly, everyone in the entire office exploded!
"How much?? Seven tens of billions of dollars?? Did I hear me right? ”
"That's not an extra zero, is it? It was sold for $70 billion."
"That's a terrifying number!"
Even the office of the assembly department, which has always been calm, is boiling at the moment!
You must know that the total foreign trade of the military industry in the whole of China last year was only 100 billion US dollars!
This directly accounts for 70% of sales!
And the total military expenditure of the entire China is only more than 200 billion, which is equivalent to 1/3!
"Seven billion dollars??"
"It's a lot higher than I expected."
Jiang Chen was not too surprised, and nodded calmly.
After all, the total order value of the more than a dozen synthetic brigades alone has exceeded more than 50 billion US dollars.
Not to mention the sales of Gundam and electromagnetic rifles, it is normal to accumulate more than $70 billion.
However, these $70 billion orders can make at least two to three billion dollars in profits
That's what it means.
However, before Jiang Chen could finish thinking about this question!
There was a cacophony outside!
"Chief Engineer Jiang, our Air Force is poor!"
"Chief Engineer Jiang, you can't ignore our navy, right?"
"This is our army's equipment, we want to take the lion's share, right?"
Needless to say, just listen to the voice to know who it is!
This terrible total trade volume spread throughout the army yesterday, how can these commanders of the navy, land and air force sit still?
