After greeting each other for a while, Farouk and the others left the conference room, and under the leadership of the staff, returned to the consortium guest house where they would live, which was actually a small two-story building.

However, it is not to sleep when you go back, but to have a meeting to determine the specific details of the purchase.

After the outsiders left, the atmosphere in the conference room relaxed in an instant, and the old man Wei Qingshan looked at Wang Ye and couldn't help but smile with a blazing smile:

"I said you kid, why did you quietly make a big one for us?"

"We haven't decided whether we want to build a 120 mm or 125 mm tank gun in the future, so you just skipped it all and started a 130 mm one step at a time?"

"Tell us why you started working on tank guns? How did you determine the caliber of 130 mm? What's the situation with this cannon now? ”

In the face of the old man Wei Qingshan's third company, the other leaders in the conference room also nodded in agreement, the reason why they asked so eagerly, in fact, the reason is very simple, just as the old man Wei Qingshan himself said, now the entire military industrial system, there is no conclusion on which caliber of tank guns to engage in next!

Nowadays, Huaxia is mainly equipped with Type 59 and Type 69 tanks, and there are three main types of artillery, namely 100 mm smoothbore guns, 100 mm rifled guns and 105 mm rifled guns.

Among these guns, the strongest armor-piercing ability is the 105 mm rifled gun, the full set of technology was purchased from Britain and Austria in 78, although four years have passed, the related technology has already eaten seventy-seven-eighty-eight, but at present there are not many domestic production, and there are not many equipment.

The fundamental reason is that although the technology was bought, the technology was not the most advanced when it was bought, but it was not possible not to buy it, at that time, the domestic tank gun technology, the overall gap with the world's advanced level was too big, as for the more advanced technology, not to mention that there was no money in China at that time, even if there was money, it was impossible for anyone to sell!

And the armor-piercing depth of this gun was only about 420 mm.

So now the country has set up a relevant project, decided to modify and upgrade this gun, in the normal history, the last gun will go through many rounds of modification, involving all aspects, but the most critical is that it has increased from 52 times the diameter to 62 times the diameter, the double diameter is the ratio of the length of the barrel to the caliber, the larger the number, the longer the barrel, the longer the time it is equivalent to the work of the explosive, theoretically it can effectively provide the initial velocity and kinetic energy of the muzzle, and increase the depth of armor penetration.

However, the barrel can't be lengthened indefinitely, isn't it, otherwise it won't become a fishing rod? How do you shoot when you bend? It's not a stretch!

However, after the modification, the depth of penetration of this gun has reached 550 mm, which is almost the limit of this gun, but the time has reached the mid-to-late eighties, and the combat power cannot be said to be none, but it is almost impossible to penetrate the main battle tanks of the West and the USSR head-on, and can only hit the sides, buttocks, crotch and other weakly armored positions.

It is precisely because of this that the troops are now very worried!

After all, the enemy's shield is getting thicker and heavier, and in his hand, there is no sharp enough spear, for a country with an army as the king, bordering a stronger country with the same army as the king, such a situation is enough to make many people unable to sleep peacefully, because there is no real guy in their hands!

In order to solve this problem, the military industry has come up with three development directions, the first is to contact and learn from the West, the introduction of 120 caliber related tank gun technology, the second is to find a way to get a T-72 back, continue to study the way of Big Brother, engage in 125 caliber tank guns, and the third direction is to find a way to develop domestic self-development.

At the moment, all three are going on at the same time.

That moment.

Under the gaze of everyone in the conference room, Wang Ye explained with a smile:

"I don't even know how to answer your question."

"The reason why we want to make tank guns is to make more money? I estimate that in the next thirty or forty years, tanks should still be the king of land warfare, and then the demand for tanks in various countries in the world will continue to be maintained, so if we make it, won't we be able to sell it for money? It's a lucrative thing! ”

"Besides, since we are all engaged in crawler tractors, we can't talk about tank guns if we don't engage in tank guns?"

"When the time comes, load the tank gun on the tractor, hey!"

"I think it's cheap and easy to use, a good helper for our friends from third world countries!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the old man Zhou Jinlie knocked on the table angrily, and couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"Whose tractor has a tank gun on it? I knew what the hell you kid was up to in the first place! ”

"And to produce agricultural machinery? Where does your farm machinery go? ”

"Tracked tractors? Only the USSR said that! ”

"Don't be poor, hurry up and get serious!"

Hearing the voice of the old man Zhou Jinlie, Wang Ye quickly nodded and said:

"We're doing this to make money."

"And the reason why the caliber of 130 mm is determined is because our technology is not in place, and we are afraid that the power of the small caliber will not be able to penetrate it, so in line with the idea of having it first and then being strong, we will first make it possible to penetrate it, and then consider the follow-up miniaturization and loading problems, so it is easy to say, foreign countries are either 120 or 125, then we will add another five millimeters?"

Faced with Wang Ye's answer, the leaders present were stunned for a moment, and then they had a feeling of crying and laughing, originally they thought they could get something high from Wang Ye's mouth, but they didn't expect the answer to be this, to put it bluntly, Wang Ye has no technical reason, it's purely thick and strong!

"I'm really you boy!"

"I don't even know what to say about such an important project because of such a joking reason!"

"We have so many people, day and night research and discussion, hey!"

Hearing the emotion of the old man Wei Qingshan, Wang Ye waved his hand and said:

"That's different, our mission and goal is to make money."

"We have a lot of room for trial and error, and our pressure is to make money, but it's different in the department! The pressure on the ministry is on national defense and security, which is completely different from ours. ”

"Then you have to be extremely cautious, and you can't tolerate the slightest mistake!"

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the old man Zhou Jinlie next to him nodded in agreement, and then said regretfully:

"What Wang Ye said makes sense, but from this incident, in fact, another problem can be reflected from the side."

"That's the flaw of our 'key projects'."

"Although the benefits of our grasp are undoubted, we can concentrate on doing big things, but the defects are also obvious, once demonstrated, we can only go one way to death, and the room for maneuver is relatively small."

"But if we contract the task, let each research institute and research institute and military factory conduct research on its own, and finally bid for the post, I think we can get a lot of surprises."

"It's a pity, the most critical problem is that we don't have money, and the units below don't have money!"

"It's not like the Red Star Consortium, the fat ones are going to be oily!"

Hearing the old man Zhou Jinlie say this, the leaders present nodded their heads in approval, after all, who doesn't want to grasp more hands and be stronger? Wouldn't it be nice if you could get 120 and 125 tank guns at the same time?

Of course! But there's no money to do it!

The work of the research institute to engage in scientific research needs money, and the money needs to be invested by the state, and if the project invested in the end is not successful, or is surpassed by the projects of other research institutes, then the money invested in the past will be in vain, which is equivalent to a waste of water.

And Wang Ye also sighed slightly.

In fact, in normal history, after the new century, the domestic military industry will bloom everywhere, because of similar "guiding ideology", such as the most well-known "Rong Luoma" and "Shen Hoy", who used to compete for the domestic fifth-generation fighter project, but in the end, Rong Fei's Weilong went deeper and won the military's order.

"Where's the progress?"

In the end, the old man Wei Qingshan said this, and Wang Ye explained:

"Actually, the first test launch was carried out yesterday, and today is the second test launch."

"At present, the rough performance has met our expectations, but the specific details are still in the process of inspection and testing, and it will take a lot of time in the future."

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the excited expressions of the leaders present were not affected in the slightest, and the old man Wei Qingshan said directly and happily:

"It's already very good, the second shot can penetrate our old 59, it's actually very good."

"At least it has reached a depth of 400 mm armor piercing, which is almost catching up with the 105 rifled gun we introduced, but the upper limit of the 105 rifled gun we introduced is very low, and your 130 cannon, the upper limit is high, take your time, don't be impatient and down-to-earth, we are waiting for your good news!"

Subsequently, the two sides chatted for a while, and many leaders went to rest, after all, they were tired in the morning, and they were not young, so they were tired and sleepy.

The next morning.

Wang Ye saw the smiling Farouk, and then Farouk made a request for test driving various vehicles, of course Wang Ye had no opinion on this, and asked the staff to arrange a test drive for him.

"It's good to have dark skin! I can't see the dark circles under my eyes when I stay up late! ”

"I heard that yesterday they had a meeting until 4 a.m., and they were able to get up this morning! Terrible! Terrible! ”

After Farouk left, Wang Ye's duty secretary Bai Tingyu couldn't help but tease a few words, about Farouk and their all-night meeting yesterday Wang Ye also knew, after all, the light in the conference room of the guest house was always on, it was obvious that it was a meeting, and in the face of Bai Tingyu's ridicule, Wang Ye smacked his lips and said:

"I don't know what their meeting will look like, and how many goods they are going to buy!"

"Whether we can have a fat year or not, I see that it depends on this experience."

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Bai Tingyu, who was making tea for Wang Ye next to him, nodded quickly, although today's consortium is no longer the consortium it once was, and whether or not it is fat during the New Year has nothing to do with this order, but the more orders this kind of thing, of course, the better!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the office again.

"Mr. Farouk, after your test drive and experience, are you still satisfied with our products?"

"If you have any questions and suggestions, you can ask them!"

After the big guy sat down, Wang Ye was the first to speak, and asked with a smile, and the smile on Farouk's face seemed to be welded to it, and he waved his big hand and said:

"No problem, very good experience!"

"It's even far more than I expected from them, hahaha!"

At the previous conference, some members of the automobile field proposed the need to build a large test site, although the cold weather could not officially start construction, but in the end, the vacant land, or after simple repair, made a huge wilderness test field, there are a variety of simulated field road conditions, mainly used to test the field pass of various vehicles.

And this morning's test drive of Farouk was carried out over there, and when Farouk saw those simulated terrain and road conditions, he almost couldn't help laughing, isn't it similar to the roads inside Pakistan? Then after a test lap, he was even happier because the cars were easy to run in those conditions!

"In that case, let's talk about our deal."

"I don't know if your order is confirmed? If it is confirmed, we can start signing the contract, and then we can speed up production and deliver the goods as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Farouk nodded, and the staff next to him handed over a document, and then Farouk pointed to the document and said:

"This is our purchase list and related delivery requirements, Mr. Wang Ye, you can see if there is any problem."

"If there are no problems, we can start signing the contract."

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye took the document handed over by their staff, and then began to browse.

"Individual grenade launchers, 10,000 units."

"Grenade machine guns, five thousand."

"Grenade sniper rifles, two thousand."

"Gyroplanes, five hundred."

"Military pickups, 10,000 units."

"Military four-wheeled light transport trucks, two thousand."

"Military heavy trucks, 500 front trucks, 1,000 trailers."

"Towing rocket launchers, a thousand."

"Military six-wheeled all-terrain assault vehicles, two thousand units."

"59-k fire support vehicles, three hundred units."

"59-m self-propelled mortars, two hundred units."

"Low-velocity grenades, high-speed grenades totaling 10 million rounds."

"A total of 100,000 rounds of rockets of all kinds."

In general, this purchase order is quite a lot, but if you think about it from another angle, these weapons are for a country with 800,000 land forces, and if you want to fight another country with 2 million land forces, you can't find many of them.

At this moment.

Accompanied by Wang Ye's soft chanting voice, the leaders present were working hard to manage their expressions, as for the staff of the consortium, it was obvious that they did not have such ability, and the smile on their faces was unconsciously revealed!

"Total Price"

"$912 million!"

"That's already the discounted price."

"Mr. Farouk, it's this number, no problem, right?"

When Wang Ye read the purchase list again, he finally directly quoted a price, and at the same time, in the surprised eyes of the other leaders, he looked up at Farouk and said, and Farouk smiled without thinking and nodded and said:

"That's right, it's the price."

"We have already calculated, Mr. Wang Ye's mathematical ability is really admirable."

"I can calculate the result in my mind so quickly!"

Hearing Farouk's words, Wang Ye waved his hand with a smile and said:

"It's nothing, practice makes perfect."

"Since your order is so huge, then I, as a friend, naturally can't be stingy."

"So I use my privilege as the director of the Red Star Consortium to give you a fraction of the decimal point as a testimony of our friendship."

"Then the final price is 900 million dollars!"

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, indescribable joy appeared on Farouk's face in an instant, after all, Wang Ye moved his mouth casually and erased $12 million, which is not a small number!

At the same time, the other leaders present could not hide the envy in their eyes!

Although Pakistan also purchased 59 and 69 tanks, as well as J-6 and J-7 fighters, these products are somewhat outdated because of their performance, and Pakistan is an object that needs to be taken care of and supported, so the overall asking price is not high.

For example, the price of 59 tanks is as low as 500 million US dollars, and the price of fighter jets is only about 1 million to 1.5 million US dollars, and other guns and ammunition are even less valuable, so the final total price, the first batch is only a little more than 500 million US dollars, which is like Wang Ye! Nine billion!

Even the leaders present know that the reason why the consortium can get so many orders is mainly because of the problem of the order cycle and production cycle, unlike the 59 tanks and 69 tanks, as well as the J-6 and J-7 battles, if you need to buy, you can deliver it immediately, after all, everything is ready-made in the army, there is no need to buy it on a large scale at one time, and you can decide whether to add it later as the war situation changes.

But Wang Ye can't do it here, his weapons here are all new goods, and production requires cycles, if you place a temporary order, I'm sorry, even if your country is going to change its name, he can't produce it!

But in any case, 900 million dollars is still enviable!

After all, you must know that Wang Ye has just received an order of 900 million, he has only been back in the desert area for two months, and now he has actually won another order of 900 million, and he took the initiative to send it to the door, who can stand it! Could it be that this is the legendary God of Wealth, who wants to get rich wherever he goes?

What's more, if only Wang Ye makes money, it doesn't matter, anyway, people have the ability, but the problem is that if there is a comparison this time, it will hurt!

At that moment, Wei Qingshan and Zhou Jinlie, who were sitting there, could only comfort themselves, now Wang Ye's orders are not only their own orders from the Red Star Consortium, but also because of the OEM and industrial chain, they are orders from countless military factories and third-tier factories across the country, and even state-owned factories.

At the same time, I also secretly made up my mind that I still have to find a way to engage in R&D and innovation, otherwise I will rely on eating the old book to make money, and the profits will only get lower and lower in the future!

"No problem! No problem! That's nine hundred million dollars! ”

"We'll be able to pay the deposit right away!"

In the end, Farouk said this very excitedly, and when he said this, he seemed to think of something, and there was a faint light of wisdom in his eyes, and he coughed lightly and said:

"By the way, a small part of the cost of our payment this time is actually paid by the Neson Foundation."

"The total quota is about $150 million."

Suddenly, accompanied by Farouk's voice, everyone present showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

Because the leaders present didn't understand why Farouk was talking about this, and they didn't understand what the origin of this Nethan Foundation was, perhaps they noticed the puzzled expressions of everyone present, only to see Farouk explain with a smile:

"This foundation is from the United States and is responsible for docking the U.S. war economic support programs for us."

"The current $150 million is their first batch of support."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, especially those leaders, who were even more wide-eyed, with an expression of seeing the sun coming out of the west, which was called a stunned, a surprise, and an incredible!

Because from Farouk's explanation, it can be heard that the last point of 500 million dollars is equivalent to the aid of the United States to Pakistan, and Pakistan used this money to buy weapons from the consortium, as opposed to the United States to buy weapons from the consortium and gave them to Pakistan!

For the leaders, this operation is a bit outrageous! No, it's outrageous!

And in Wang Ye's eyes, there was an amazing look flashing!
