"Mr. Farouk, please be seated."

Seeing the Pakistani purchasing group walking in, Wang Ye quickly stood up and greeted with a smile, after all, this is the God of Wealth, and there is nothing wrong with a better attitude.

Then everyone sat down, and Farouk, who was sitting opposite Wang Ye, said with a smile:

"Director Wang Ye, we are good friends."

"I don't think you're going to let your friends down, do you?"

Obviously, Farouk is hinting and ridiculing Wang Ye, regarding the price of these new weapons and equipment, today's Pakistan has experienced more than half a year of war, and its finances are very difficult, so on the issue of the price of weapons and equipment, of course, it will be more sensitive and concerned, if it can be cheaper, it will naturally be the best.

"Mr. Farouk, please be completely relieved of this question."

"First of all, we are friends, and the meaning of friends is to help each other in times of need."

"Secondly, we, the Red Star Consortium, have been committed to providing affordable, cheap, and easy-to-use weapons and equipment to the economically underdeveloped regions of the world that they can consume."

"So our weapons and equipment will not be too expensive."

After Wang Ye finished speaking, he gave the staff next to him a look, and the staff took out a document, then went around to the end of the negotiation table and respectfully handed it to Farouk who was sitting there.

"Mr. Farouk, this is our offer."

"Look at it, I think you should rest assured after reading it, we have always been the most honest and sincere to our friends."

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, Farouk nodded slightly, and at the same time quickly opened the quotation in front of him.

[Red Star Behemoth Tank: $1,800,000 per unit.] 】

[130mm tail stabilized disarming armor-piercing projectile: $600 per round.] 】

[130mm grenade: $300 per round.] 】

[Vulcan fire support vehicle: $1.5 million per unit.] 】

[Wheeled infantry chariots: $1,200,000 per vehicle.] 】

[Wheeled assault vehicles: $1,200,000 per unit.] 】

[Wheeled mortars; US$1,200,000 per unit. 】

[Truck guns: $1,300,000 per unit.] (152 mm gun version)]

[Truck guns: $1,600,000 per unit.] (155 mm gun version)]

[Little Wolf armored reconnaissance vehicle: 180,000 US dollars/unit.] 】

[Dow anti-tank missile: $50,000 per round.] 】

In the conference room, Farouk quickly browsed the main part of the quotation, and then the whole person secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although these new and stronger weapons and equipment are all more expensive than those before the Red Star Consortium, but in terms of performance, the price is still suitable and completely acceptable.

Taking tanks as an example, the M1 tank in the United States currently has no sales record, so it cannot be referenced, but the German Leopard 2 tank has been sold in various European countries, and the price of a single Leopard 2 tank has soared to $2.8 million to $3.2 million in terms of new orders announced in recent months.

As for the price of self-propelled howitzers and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, they are simply higher than tanks, and basically the prices of products with excellent performance have risen to three million dollars, to tell the truth, quite terrifying!

"Reasonable price."

In the end, Farouk looked at the prices of various supporting equipment in the back, such as semi-automatic minelaying vehicles, such as tank rescue vehicles and other products, before he put down the quotation in his hand, and then looked at Wang Ye and nodded and said.

And Wang Ye raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile on his face:

"Of course, our Red Star Consortium has always been so sincere in doing business."

"Not to mention, we are still friends, how can we shamelessly ask for high prices from our friends in the most difficult times? That's just despicable and shameless. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Wang Ye's face became brighter and brighter.

In fact, the pricing of these products, in terms of cost, the premium is very serious, in other words, these products are exported at this price, for the Red Star Consortium, the profit is very high, which also confirms the fact that the arms business is the most profitable business in the world, almost one.

Therefore, the pricing of these products does not refer to the cost of production at all, but to the prices of other products of the same type in the world, such as tanks.

In fact, in recent years, in the international arms market, the price of tanks has been rising continuously, from hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 60s, to the 70s, especially in the mid-to-late 70s, they have soared to more than 1 million US dollars, especially after the third generation of tanks began to appear, the price has soared, according to the arms dealers, that is, all kinds of fire control systems are expensive, and a set of fire control systems costs 450,000 US dollars.

For example, in normal history, in 78 years, at that time, Germany's Leopard 2 tanks had just begun to be finalized and mass-produced, and China also had a deep understanding of the 59 and 69 tanks currently equipped, compared with the backwardness of the Soviet T-72 tank, so at that time, China had contact with Germany, hoping to purchase some Leopard 2 tanks.

At that time, Western countries were under great pressure in the face of the Soviet Union's armor torrent, and the honeymoon period was about to begin, and when the Leopard 2 was just finalized and ready for mass production, the Klaus-Fima company, which produced the Leopard 2 tank, did not have too many orders at all, because the German troops did not have large-scale purchases, and other European countries were also waiting, so under the influence of internal and external factors, at that time, the Klaus-Fima company was very willing to sell the Leopard 2 to China, and was even willing to transfer production lines and technology.

At the same time, after domestic scientific researchers, engineers and military personnel came into contact with the Leopard 2, they were also very satisfied with the experience in all aspects, so the two sides hit it off and prepared to carry out this transaction.

As a result, when it came time to talk about money, the problem arose.

The initial quotation of Klaus-Fima Company was 2.4 million US dollars per unit, which made everyone in the domestic purchasing group at that time directly dumbfounded, after all, how much foreign exchange did the country have at that time? How much is the annual military spending? Buy a regimental tank, and the whole army will go to drink the northwest wind all year round! Not to mention, because Klaus-Fima pursues the number of orders and other reasons, it is not willing to buy less, and it is not okay to have fewer orders.

Subsequently, the two sides began a tug-of-war, and Klaus-Fima was also eager to increase orders, after all, any industrial product, if there are no orders, it is meaningless, and the factory cannot be opened is equivalent to continuous loss of money, so in the end they gave a cost price that they thought was very sincere, $1.8 million.

But even at this price, the country is unaffordable, and in the end this cooperation can only be abandoned.

At that time, in fact, it was only 79 years, and the price of tanks in the international arms market was already very terrifying, and after the 80s, with the development of the global economy, the currency depreciated to a certain extent, and the price of arms and weapons began a new round of expansion.

However, this is not the end of it, in normal history, the expansion of this weapon is a slow upward process.

But now, with the outbreak of wars in many parts of the world, the demand for weapons is increasing, and because the Soviet Union has eaten the dividends of rising oil prices, the Soviet Union has become more and more oppressive to Western countries, and various European countries have to start stockpiling weapons and actively expand their armies in case of emergency.

The final result is that after this year, the prices of the global arms market will go completely crazy.

Without going far, let's talk about the domestic 59 and 69 tanks.

In normal history, the price of these two tanks, because of their backward technology and performance, coupled with the urgent need for foreign exchange in China at that time, there was a factor of active price reduction, so since entering the 80s, the price of exports has been constantly lowered, from about 1 million US dollars, to more than 400,000 US dollars in the mid-to-late 80s, of which at this point in 83, the price is only about 670,000 US dollars.

But this time, it is completely different from the past, the current price of 59 and 69 tanks is very strong, and the price of a single unit can be maintained at 900,000 US dollars, but even so, no one shouts expensive from customers who buy them, such as Pakistan and Iran, as well as some countries and regions in Africa, and even some are in short supply, resulting in the two tank factories of Baotou No. 1 Machine and Luoyang Tractor Factory, which have to reopen the production lines that have been suspended and closed for a long time, and work overtime every day.

Even because of this situation, Wang Ye had to take out all kinds of wheeled combat vehicles in advance this time, because the original 59-k fire support vehicles and other products all need 59 chassis, and now the army can't take out a large number of excess 59 chassis to the Red Star Consortium, either it is too old to be transformed, or it is too new to be sold, or it really can't be sold, and selling it will cause the tank armored unit to become infantry, which will greatly affect the national defense and security issues.

Therefore, this time Pakistan's order, to complete the actual pressure is really great, when negotiating with the United States, the extra money is really not extortion, because the army's inventory has been consumed, and no matter how large a batch of delivery, it will really affect the domestic equipment problem, which is indeed a security risk.

"That's right, that's right, Director Wang Ye."

"Your character is admirable!"

Hearing Wang Ye's voice, Farouk praised Wang Ye's morality in line with the principle of saying good things without spending money.

Then he saw Wang Ye suddenly grinning, knocked lightly on the table, as if to remind everyone to pay attention to what he was going to say next, coughed lightly, and said quite seriously:

"And, because we're 'friends,' Mr. Farouk."

"All your purchases in the Red Star Consortium can still enjoy the past nine-percent discount."

As soon as these words came out, Farouk and the other members of the purchasing group couldn't stop showing a surprised smile on their faces, and at the same time, Farouk also understood what Wang Ye was talking about from the word "friend" that Wang Ye emphatically reminded.

It is nothing more than to continue to provide some convenience to the battlefield after-sales team of the Red Star Consortium in Pakistan in the future.

That's right, that's it, anyway, those wrecks are also worthless for Pakistan, just a few simple operations, you can give the Red Star Consortium as a favor, and then exchange it for something more valuable, that's not it, so what can be called it?

"Hahaha, of course, Director Wang Ye, we are friends, friends forever."

"Our friendship will last forever!"

As soon as Farouk opened his mouth, he couldn't help laughing, and the smile on Wang Ye's face became brighter and brighter.

In fact, the price of the weapons and equipment of the Red Star Consortium is already quite favorable compared with similar ones in the international arms market, and the reason why Wang Ye wants to implement this lower pricing strategy is essentially for more markets, because the pricing is too high, the high-end European and American markets cannot enter, and the low-end Asian, African and Latin American markets have no money to buy.

Of course, the profit of high prices is certainly high, but the problem is that in many cases of industry, we must not only look at the final profit margin, but also consider the scale and the profit margin in the production process.

For example, the Red Star tank, if it is sold for three million US dollars, it will definitely be sold, but the number of sales will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it may be enough to maintain a production line at that time, and other enterprises upstream and downstream can rest, which is not conducive to domestic industrial development.

At the current price of 1.8 million to be sold at a 9% discount, the countries and regions that need to buy can basically afford it, then the number of orders is guaranteed, the upstream and downstream industrial chain can work at full capacity, everyone can have profits, and the overall industrial scale can be developed.

In short, one is "small and beautiful" and the other is "big and strong".

In today's era, Wang Ye doesn't want to be small and beautiful, and become a "tank immortal" or something like that, but wants to drive the entire industrial chain with the attitude of a leader, and finally become bigger and stronger, because in the industrial field, only large-scale can survive the final battle, as a winner, eat all the market share, and become a real giant.

The same is true for the state.

"Alright, it's not too early."

"Mr. Farouk, report your purchase figures!"

Wang Ye's voice echoed in the conference room, Farouk nodded, then took out a document, and said while reading it:

"We need five hundred Red Star Behemoth Tanks."

"200 Vulcan fire support vehicles, 200 wheeled infantry combat vehicles, 200 wheeled mortars, 100 wheeled assault vehicles, 200 152 mm caliber truck guns, 100 Little Wolf armored reconnaissance vehicles."

"And 5,000 rounds of Dow anti-tank missiles"

Accompanied by Farouk's voice, he recorded as he said to the staff of both sides next to him, until a few minutes later, when Farouk finished speaking, the staff next to him began to calculate the total price.

"Total, twenty-three hundred and eighteen."

In the end, the staff of the Red Star Consortium quoted a price, and Farouk nodded slightly and looked at their staff next to him, who also nodded, indicating that there was no problem with this price.

"No problem, that's all."

Hearing Farouk say this, the corners of Wang Ye's mouth rose and he smiled:

"Okay, Mr. Farouk, and I'm with the Red Star Consortium as your friend with Pakistan."

"I'm in charge of the fractions, a total of $2.3 billion."

Suddenly, the smile on Farouk's face became stronger, and he stood up and stretched out his hand to Wang Ye and said:

"Long live friendship?"

"Long live friendship!"

At that moment, Wang Ye held Farouk's hand and said very firmly.
