Chapter 138: A Turning Point

In the room, Sattler picked up the black tea next to him and took a sip, watching Wang Ye staring at the purchase list and seemed stunned.

In the next second, I saw Wang Ye raise his head, raise his hand to put the purchase list on the table in front of him, slowly push it towards Sattler, and then also picked up the teacup and took a sip, under Sattler's slightly stunned gaze, Wang Ye suddenly smiled and said:

"I know you're rich, but in my opinion, you're buying a little too much."

As soon as these words came out, Sattler, who was holding a teacup, was directly petrified, and even he felt that if he had poured a big sip of tea just now, he was afraid that he would have sprayed Wang Ye next to him in the face at this moment!

Listen up! Listen up! What are these words?

Is this the voice of a businessman that can be spoken? No, is this still a person who can come out? Did you buy too much? Who thinks a customer is buying too much?

"Hahaha!"

In an instant, Sartler couldn't help laughing, and even because of the action of laughing, the teacup shook a little when it was put back on the plate, and in Wang Ye's slightly helpless gaze, Sartler said with emotion:

"It's my friend, it's really so maverick and different."

"It's the first time I've met a businessman who thinks his customers are buying too much."

"Reason, I want to hear the reason."

"If you can convince me with one reason, then I can reduce the number of purchases a little."

At this moment, hearing the conversation between Wang Ye and Sattler, the staff member who came in with the purchase list in his hand felt the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably, to be honest, he had never heard such an outrageous conversation in his life!

The one who sells buys more, and the one who buys lets the seller give him a reason to buy less? Ah, this world is crazy, right?

He became more and more humble, his head was lowered more and more, in front of such a distinguished guest of His Royal Highness the Prince, he was really afraid that he would suddenly not be able to hold back any expression, or even laugh out loud!

At the same time, under the gaze of Sattler, Wang Ye raised three fingers and said:

"First, needless to say, grenades and the like, let's just say that our fire patrol aircraft, this aircraft is actually tailor-made by me for those small countries and militants, in my opinion, it will not be of much use to you, there is no need to buy 5,000 units at all."

"Do you know how many five thousand there are? If it takes off at the same time, it will be a large area of overwhelming black pressure! ”

"Second, our production capacity is insufficient, we buy too much, we can't produce it."

"Third, since I came to Saudi Arabia, naturally I can't just bring these old gadgets from the past, I came with new products, but you didn't even give me a chance to explain what my new products are, so you have to buy so much in one go."

"This makes me very frustrated, and don't you stare at these old products that are not in the stream, why don't you understand our new products?"

Although Wang Ye does have a polite element in it, it is really because Wang Ye knows Sattler too well, he is a cheap skin, so he eats this set, but it is not all polite, to a certain extent, Wang Ye's understanding of Saudi Arabia may be a little more than the current Sattler, so in Wang Ye's opinion, Saudi Arabia really doesn't need so many gyroplanes, what do you want so many gadgets?

Originally, this thing was supplied to those small countries and armed organizations that did not have an air force, and for a country like Gou Dahu with a formed air force, the tactical value was very low, as for the initial role of the rotorcraft in normal history, it was to provide rapid mobility for special forces, and what tactics were interspersed with military operations such as special operations, Wang Ye didn't think that Gou Dahu could play it.

Moreover, although the profit margin of the gyroplane is good, the unit value is too low, there is no production line, the production steps are complicated, and the number of skilled workers is in high demand, which finally leads to a very low per capita profit margin of workers, in a sense, this is also a product of a population-intensive industry, which belongs to the existence of gradual improvement or even elimination in the future, but the new product brought by Wang Ye this time, the 59-k fire support vehicle is completely different, the chassis is bought, the demand for turret production workers is not large, and the final total value is high, The per capita profit margin has gone up!

In other words, now that the "cheap orders" of the consortium Canton Fair have not been consumed, Wang Ye really doesn't want to increase this kind of "cheap orders", and it is best to have some high value-added orders.

Otherwise, according to Sattaler's current requirements, 5,000 rotorcraft, at the current rate of less than 300 units per month, and counting the consumption of Canton Fair orders, will have to be produced until the Year of the Monkey?

At this moment.

Hearing Wang Ye say this, a slightly smug expression appeared on Satler's face, and then he shook his head and said:

"Friend, though you are very smart, your wisdom is impressive."

"But there are still areas that you can't set foot in, such as the role of this fire patrol aircraft, in fact, it has a bigger and wider field of action than you think!"

"We've gotten a few of these fire patrol aircraft from the black market, and after some research and testing, we found that it really deserves the name of the fire patrol aircraft."

Accompanied by the voice of Sattler, Wang Ye's mind didn't turn for a while, in the big desert of Saudi Arabia, where are there any forests that need fire patrols, and the fire point they are most worried about is not the oil well

At that moment, Wang Ye suddenly seemed to think of something, and Sattaler said to himself:

"So these patrol planes, we really purchase them as patrol aircraft."

"For our oil wells and oil equipment patrols, after all, our country has very little rain and clouds, and the sky has a good view all year round, and patrolling in the air is much more efficient than patrolling on the ground."

"Coupled with the matching grenade machine gun, if some armed saboteurs are found, they can also be quickly fired and annihilated, without giving them any chance!"

"So five thousand isn't a lot, right?"

Speaking of this, Sattaler looked at Wang Ye's face full of unexpected, and then chuckled:

"How do you say it in your Chinese dialect?"

"Practice is the only test of truth, right?"

"Whether the gyrocopter is good or not, only customers like us can really understand!"

At that moment, Wang Ye said nothing, because he understood that he had made a logical mistake, the rotorcraft was not expensive, it was based on military products, but if it was from a civilian point of view, it was actually not cheap, and even quite expensive, after all, the price of 20,000 US dollars a car can buy a luxury car, and the current price of Porsche's sports car is less than 10,000 US dollars.

So Wang Ye didn't think at all that this kind of product that he exported in the name of fire patrol products could really be used for fire patrols, but now that it has been discovered by big dogs, the name of fire patrol is solid.

"So this list, I won't change what has been determined, if you don't have enough capacity, that's your problem."

"I'm not going to ask you to make a one-time delivery, and you should expand your production capacity too, right? Friend! ”

Hearing Sattler say this, Wang Ye could only nod "with difficulty", but in the next second, Wang Ye coughed lightly, looked at Sattler and said with a smile:

"However, since we are friends, then I should give a price that is exclusive to friends."

"Otherwise, as a friend, I wouldn't be sincere enough!"

"In this way, let's just say that the list just now, the grenade with the highest total value, in the past, we sold it for twenty dollars per shot, so if a friend buys it, I will reluctantly give you a 5% discount!"

"I don't know if you're still satisfied with this price, friend?"

When Wang Ye was pricing grenades, in fact, the price was not necessarily lower, but there was no need to be lower, and the reason for this situation was fundamentally related to the current country's foreign exchange reward system.

If according to the official foreign exchange 1 to 1.2, a grenade of 20 US dollars is equivalent to only 24 yuan, in fact, the profit is not so big, after all, the factory price of a grenade is almost five or six yuan, and the production cost of the grenade is even higher!

Just add the foreign exchange earning reward, calculated according to 1 to 13, then the profit will naturally take off.

Moreover, in the world, before Wang Ye launched a variety of grenade launchers, grenade launchers were still a relatively "niche" weapon in the past, and they were all grenade launchers with single shots and rifle hanging, resulting in the price of grenades produced in Western countries is not cheap, and large-scale circulation is rare in the market.

In this way, although Wang Ye sells for $20 is not cheap, it is not expensive.

Nowadays, giving Sattler ten dollars a shot is actually quite cheap, even cheaper than the grenades of Western countries, after all, Western countries do not earn dollars and spend dollars, and their costs are also high!

"Hahaha! My friend, your offer is so timely. ”

"Originally, I was going to talk to you about this next, in the rules of commerce, big customers always have to give a little discount, unlike those individual customers of yours in the past, shouldn't you give me some discounts?"

"After all, my money is also pumped up by the oil well day after day!"

"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied, the price is good!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Sattler couldn't help but laugh and say so.

At this moment, suddenly there was a soft knock on the door outside, accompanied by the sound of Sattaler calling in, the door was pushed open again, and another staff member bent slightly and said:

"Your Highness, it's already six o'clock, and it's time for us to visit our master."

Hearing this, Satler suddenly took out his pocket watch from his clothes and looked at it, sure enough, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and he said to Wang Ye with a smile:

"My friend, it's getting late."

"Although I am very much looking forward to what new products you will bring to me, I don't have time to listen to you explain to me in detail, according to the rules of the dinner, I should now go and visit the organizer of the dinner, that is, my uncle, His Royal Highness Prince Durt of Saudi Arabia, otherwise it will be rude."

"And there are still many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future, I think you should need to get to know His Royal Highness."

"Why don't you just let me introduce you?"

Of course, Wang Ye has no opinion on Sattaler's suggestion, because the current Prince Durt, who is the number two person in the big dog, is slightly insufficient to describe it as a high and powerful person, because he is currently the most trusted right-hand man of the old king!

Of course, the current Prince Doulte is still relatively close to the United States as a whole, but in the next few years, in normal history, Prince Doulte suffered a lot on the American side, finally realized the essence of certain things, and got rid of the illusion of wanting to rely on the United States to maintain national security.

In the end, it was he who accepted the orders of His Majesty the King, and when the two countries had not yet established formal diplomatic relations, he held secret talks in the Third Region several times, made several secret visits, visited strategic duty bases, and finally reached the arms deal that shocked the world.

So no matter what, Wang Ye did not resist contacting this prince, because he was not "brain-dead", even very wise, he was not a "traitor", on the contrary, he could give everything for this country, for the safety and continuation of this country, and he was a true patriot, doer, and brave.

"That's what an honor!"

Wang Ye stood up and said very seriously, showing enough respect for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Then, led by Satler, the two left the room.

Meanwhile.

Located in a huge living room on the fifth floor, the people of the Ministry of Oil, who had been arranged to rest in the lounge for nearly two hours, finally received an audience from Prince Durt, after all, before the banquet officially began, Prince Durt wanted to summon many dignitaries and celebrities, and at the same time there were many foreigners who wanted to come to visit, in this case, the people of the Ministry of Oil could only be in the back row, as for the reason is very simple, there is no diplomatic relationship between the two at present, and in addition to this deal, it is actually unattractive for Saudi Arabia, and even limited to the United States and the West, many ministers bluntly refused, and this is called diplomacy, so cruel.

At this moment, the gray-bearded Prince Durt, wearing a pair of glasses, was looking down at the relevant documents handed over by Director Chen, which contained relevant requirements for equipment and the preliminary price.

In the end, in the anxiety of Director Chen and the others, Prince Durt put down the papers, sighed lightly and said:

"Gentlemen, first of all, welcome to the dinner I have organized."

"The friendship between our two countries is unquestionable, but you probably know better than me that in international relations, any business operation must take into account political implications and must be based on political foundations."

"And the oil equipment that your country is asking for belongs to the list of Western restrictions."

"I think you should know what I mean."

Hearing Prince Durt's refusal, at that moment Director Chen felt that his heart was about to break, despair arose, and the feeling of dry mouth came, he subconsciously picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, and then said:

"Your Royal Highness, at this price, we can go up by two percent."

Regarding Director Chen's statement, Prince Durt smiled helplessly and waved his hand and said:

"You should understand that it's not about money."

"Money alone can't solve a lot of problems that this deal has caused us."

At the scene, the air was extremely oppressive, and the staff of the prince's subordinates had already packed up the documents and handed them to Director Chen again, and Prince Durt also began to serve tea to the guests.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

With the voice of Prince Durt, I saw that the door of the living room was pushed open, and Sattaler walked in with a smile on his face, Wang Ye walked beside him, and when he saw this scene, Director Chen and the others, who had already half stood up, were directly stunned!

What's going on? Just now, Wang Ye frequently received foreigners, even if he was still hooked up with this prince who was rumored to have fallen?

"Uncle, long time no see!"

"You're still so fit!"

Sartler said and strode over, and Prince Durt, who seemed to be very happy, stood up and hugged Sartler, and said:

"Rumors are just false devils, and I'm glad you can stand here."

"Who is this?"

After a few simple greetings, Prince Durt looked at Wang Ye, and Sattaler introduced with a smile:

"My Huaxia friend, the director of the Red Star Machinery Iron and Steel Complex!"

For Prince Durt, there are too many issues to consider and make decisions, so naturally he has no time to study Wang Ye, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the recent weapon trend and influence of the Black Market in the Third World, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't know that the factory in Huaxia called Red Star suddenly became popular!

"Good evening, Your Royal Highness!"

At the same time, Wang Ye bowed slightly, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, Prince Durt had come back to his senses, reached out and shook hands with Wang Ye, and said with a smile:

"Welcome to Saudi Arabia and I hope you enjoy it."

At the same time, Sattaler naturally noticed Director Chen and the others who were standing next to him, and said to Prince Durt in a low voice:

"Uncle, I have something to say to you."
