Chapter 307 Air Show (Second Update)
The country of furry bears, the city of Zhukovsky!
The biennial international air show opened again as scheduled.
Arms companies from many countries display their latest products here, including various aviation equipment, various types of aircraft models and actual aircraft samples. In addition to aviation products, there are also various weapons and equipment, such as guns, tanks, ships, etc.
Looking for desired customers and completing arms orders.
The air show has developed to this day. It is actually a large-scale international trade fair. It is no different from a car show. It is to display the military power and strength of one's own country, with various physical exhibitions and vivid and exciting flight performances to attract others to observe and negotiate.
It's just that the auto show is to showcase the company's image, while the air show is to showcase the country's image and national strength.
September 3rd.
The second day of the opening of the aviation show was a busy time with many tourists.
Stab!
A luxury motorcade arrived at the air show. Liu Yingying stepped out of the car in high spirits. Accompanied by several officials from the Bear Country, she led a group of elites in suits and ties into the air show.
Many tourists and arms purchasers from other countries were curious. It seemed that someone recognized several officials from the Bear Country who were accompanying them. Their status was not low. One of them, with a beard, was actually Ivanov, the director of the Arms Foreign Trade Bureau of the Bear Country. , which made many people who saw it secretly sigh.
"Director Ivanov, what types of fighter planes do you sell?"
Liu Yingying was wearing a professional skirt and was dressed beautifully and smartly. Even though the other party was the director of Russian military and foreign trade, she was neither humble nor overbearing. Now she is the one who spends the money, and the customer is God.
"Ms. Liu, our current foreign trade fighters mainly include Su-30, Su-35, and MiG-29. Su-30 and Su-35 are the main heavy-duty fighter jets currently in service in our country. One is a two-seater and the other is a single-seater. Both are equipped with It has a vector thrust engine. The former highlights the dual purpose of air and ground, while the Su-35 is a super maneuverable multi-purpose fighter. The MiG-29 is relatively cheap and affordable."
Ivanov immediately became energetic and spoke to Liu Yingying with a smile on his face. The translator could hardly keep up with his speaking speed.
The arms trade has always been one of the most profitable industries in the world. Its profits are not only huge, but also generate long-lasting benefits.
Therefore, the arms trade has always been compared with the drug trade and smuggling trade, and is known as the world's three major profit-making industries.
As for fighter jets, an industrial masterpiece, they are even more frighteningly expensive, easily costing tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.
The last time the Bear Country cooperated with the Jieco Company, they sold the artillery, rocket launchers, armed helicopters, armored vehicles, tanks, etc. to the Jieco Company. That transaction made the Bear Country make a lot of money.
Now that they see the big customer of Jieke Company coming again, and knowing the current situation that Jieke Group is facing, they are of course extremely enthusiastic, knowing that this is another big deal.
Liu Yingying nodded, then walked back to her team and looked at the few military experts she had brought.
These are senior military officers who retired from various countries. Due to various practical difficulties, they were re-employed by the Jieco Group. Now their families also live in the Mande area, and they are forced to board the big ship of the Jieco Group.
"Miss Liu, considering all aspects, the Mi-29 has short legs and a small combat radius. If it takes off from our Mandeb area, it will be difficult to threaten the southern essence area controlled by the Zen government forces."
A military expert spoke in a low voice and first crossed out the famous short-legged fighter Mi-29.
The overall shape of the Zen Kingdom is like a diamond, with a length of two thousand kilometers from north to south and more than 900 kilometers from east to west. However, the Mi-29 has insufficient range to threaten the core hinterland of the Zen government forces. This is absolutely unacceptable.
"The Su-35 is fine, but it is too expensive and too precise. It is difficult to maintain it well by relying on our own industry."
Another military expert also spoke and crossed out the Su-35, which had the highest price.
"From a cost-effective perspective, the multi-purpose Su-30 is the most suitable for us."
After some discussions, the Su-30 fighter stood out.
Liu Yingying made a mental note and finally continued the visit accompanied by Ivanov.
As for Liu Yingying's arrival, Ivanov personally accompanied her. The military industrial companies present were all interested people. They inquired and investigated each other, and soon they understood Liu Yingying's identity.
Liu Yingying used to be an ordinary undergraduate who worked in finance and real estate.
It's different now, she represents the Jieke Group.
Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Jieke Group is rich!
Otherwise, the beautiful country would not be so aggressive as to be jealous of Jieke Group because it made too much money.
After learning about their identities, these people's eyes suddenly brightened up. The heads of the military industry companies crowded forward one after another and enthusiastically introduced their businesses to Liu Yingying.
In front of Liu Yingying, in addition to some relatively neutral countries, even many member states of Ou Meng, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc., all rushed forward like a swarm of people, trying to snatch this order.
"This group of low-income people, don't have the proud spirit of us Westerners, actually went to lick the soles of the Jieke Group. It's shameful, shameful." Not far away, Dixon, an official from the delegation of the United States, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The man who came here with an aerobatic team saw a scene that made his blood pressure soar.
As an ally of the beautiful country, knowing that the beautiful country was preparing to use force against the Jieko Group, they actually went over to sell arms to the other party. It was a disgrace to their European gentlemen.
Dixon would have cursed had he not considered the occasion.
"Haha, Mr. Dixon, it seems you don't have enough appeal!"
Next to Dixon stood Cao Shanmu, an official from the Chinese delegation. The two were also old friends and often met at major air shows.
While talking, Cao Shanmu saw Liu Yingying from the corner of his eye and was quite emotional.
Regarding the situation of Jieke Group, the higher authorities have already conducted many investigations.
Cao Shanmu also knows the financial resources of the Jieke Group. If he were not afraid of causing international disputes, he would have brought his Chinese military industry there long ago.
But the arms trade is, to some extent, linked to political transactions.
In addition, the relationship between Huaguo and Jieke Company is somewhat sensitive, Su Jie's origin is there, and it borders the territory of Zen Kingdom.
If this arms deal is done, it will be deliberately interpreted by the entire Western community, and they will all be scolded, and even jumping into the Yellow River will not be able to clean it up.
"A group of idiots who are greedy for money and only know how to make some immediate profits. No wonder they will lose their status as world hegemon. Unlike our country, we can stand where we are now only by uniting as one."
Dixon sarcastically looked down upon those guys who only care about money.
"Ahem, Dixon, why don't you take a closer look?"
The corner of Cao Shanmu's mouth twitched and he suppressed a smile, and pointed at Liu Yingying, his face full of teasing and teasing.
Dixon was stunned, took off his glasses and wiped them. After putting them on, he looked at Liu Yingying again. He almost couldn't breathe due to high blood pressure, and his whole face was turning blue and purple.
Just because Dixon saw Liu Yingying's familiar military industrial companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and General Motors, they actually crowded in front of Liu Yingying and introduced their products incessantly, hoping to attract business.
"Ms. Liu, Locke Martin is the world's number one airline. If you are interested in purchasing, I will try to persuade China to let it go."
"We at General Dynamics are the leader in ground vehicles. Various military armored vehicles can meet the combat needs of a variety of different regions and environments."
"Boeing is the world's largest aerospace company and the world's leading manufacturer of civil and military aircraft, with customers in 150 countries and regions around the world. If Ms. Liu is interested in purchasing, we can definitely provide you with value-for-money services. ”
These companies crowded in front of Liu Yingying, bidding against each other, and strongly recommending their products.
As for the conflict between Jieco Company and Beautiful Country, it has nothing to do with their arms dealers.
There is a saying that goes well, if you do not sell arms to attack your own country, you cannot be considered a true international arms dealer.
Of course, if they want to sell, whether they can get approval from Congress is another matter.
In any case, their attitude is clear. Jieke Company is so rich, and its market value is not obvious because it is not listed on the market. However, in terms of net profit, it ranks among the top in the world. Such a rich company, It would be outrageous not to go up and introduce the business.
"Fake, a group of shameless bastards, traitors, and worms in America. I am really ashamed of them. When I go back, I will impeach them to the president."
Dixon couldn't hold it in any longer and began to curse.
Cao Shanmu was watching the joke on the side. If he went back and told his colleagues about this fun, he would definitely be very happy.
Liu Yingying didn't know that her appearance caused quite a stir. She visited the air show and spent large sums of money to purchase various arms based on the advice of military experts, which made many arms dealers, including Ivanov, smile.
Especially the biggest winner today, during the preliminary negotiations, the Bear Country won an arms order worth US$7 billion in one fell swoop, accounting for one-seventh of their annual arms export quota.
Such an order not only covers the price of fighter aircraft and weapons, but also includes ground support equipment, spare engines, ground support and pilot training, software and other corresponding supporting facilities.
As for subsequent logistical maintenance, regular repairs, and upgrades, this is another huge expense.
This money must be paid periodically. The additional benefits brought by maintenance and parts replacement during the life of a fighter jet are far greater than the price of the aircraft itself.
An ordinary small country would not have the qualifications or financial resources to purchase such a huge amount of arms.
In addition to the Bear Country, other arms dealers also profited from a lot of scraps. It can be said that at this edition of the Bear Country Air Show, Jieke Company became the largest financial buyer, attracting the envious eyes of everyone.
