Chapter 3205
Generally speaking, the weapons and equipment promoted by senior Haihan officials in person are often expensive high-end goods, and sometimes they are even new gadgets that have not yet been widely installed in the Haihan army.
After all, selling high-end goods is more profitable, and some new equipment also needs to find some trial users to verify its combat performance and explore reliable tactics.
For many buyers who admire Haihan's military industry, this is also one of the few opportunities for them to purchase advanced equipment.
Haihan's arms sales business has always been a seller's market, and the trading rules are basically formulated by Haihan.
Haihan has strict restrictions on the export of weapons. No matter how much money buyers bring to Sanya to purchase, the equipment they can purchase is only a few old models. Even so, the purchase quantity will still be limited. Buyers will not be able to buy as much as they want, and there will not be much room for bargaining.
The buyer's few rights are to decide whether to "buy" or "not buy", that's all.
The main equipment that Qiao Zhiya wants to sell today are several types of artillery that have never been allowed to be sold to foreign countries in the past. Many of them have models that have been coveted by various countries for a long time.
Qiao Zhiya also gave a very straightforward explanation: "Our country's current military technology has been able to produce artillery with stronger performance, so it is time to lift the arms sales restrictions on these old models."
< br>
In this way, these artillery pieces included in the arms sales list do not seem to be Haihan's most advanced models, but for other countries, such heavy weapons are still enough to improve their military strength to a higher level.
Of course, to achieve such a goal, the premise is that a sufficient quantity can be purchased.
If you only buy one or two cannons, their use will be extremely limited, and they can probably only be placed on the walls of the capital as decorations.
Although Haihan has put these high-end weapons on the shelves, the total supply is still limited, and it is impossible to meet the procurement needs of all countries at the same time. It is destined that only a few countries can achieve rapid improvement in military force.
This is also a situation that Haihan deliberately created. The purpose is of course to make another sales technique come in handy, that is, bidding.
The introduction manual received by the envoys not only introduced the various performance parameters of the equipment, but also marked in red letters the quantity of the equipment sold externally, as well as its minimum sales price.
Limited quantity and bidding have always been extremely effective promotional methods in the arms sales process. Even those countries that believe that their own weapons and equipment are sufficient must seriously consider the military pressure that will be exerted on their countries after their neighbors purchase more advanced equipment.
For those countries that are already engaged in arms races with other countries, it is not enough just to purchase new weapons themselves. At the same time, they must also try to prevent competitors from purchasing new weapons. Quoting a high price during the bidding process and leaving your opponents with nothing to buy is undoubtedly the most immediate way to achieve results.
After everyone studied the manual, someone finally raised a question: "Two adults, these equipment are all good things, but can I go back and discuss with my colleagues before making a purchase decision?"
This question is undoubtedly the voice of most envoys present. It would be too hasty to decide whether to buy or not to buy immediately after reading the manual.
Besides, almost all of them were civil servants. Although they had the authority to place orders, they still had to communicate with the military attaches in the mission before making a decision on which kind to buy and how much to buy.
Qiao Zhiya explained: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Today's meeting is just to introduce weapons and equipment. You don't need to make a purchase decision immediately. The military exercise in a few days will arrange a demonstration of the combat performance of relevant weapons. You will make a decision after seeing the actual performance." Late.”
Schneider added: "For buyers whose order total reaches a certain standard, our country will also provide some special discounts, such as interest-free installment payment, additional ammunition, free artillery training tutorials, and related repair and maintenance services. Discounts The number of places is limited, first come first served. "These preferential conditions are not new and have appeared many times in past arms sales. The purpose is nothing more than to encourage buying more and buying early.
But as a buyer, it is difficult to resist the temptation of these preferential terms. According to past experience, if you can get all the discounts, the cost savings will be almost equivalent to a 20% discount.
The envoy from the Champa State was the first to stand up and leave, obviously intending to rush back as soon as possible to discuss with his military attache.
As soon as he left, Annan's envoy couldn't sit still anymore, so he also said goodbye and left.
Annan's military strength was far superior to that of Champa, and he had plans to annex Champa in his early years. However, Champa received the protection of Haihan in a timely manner and became a vassal state of Haihan, thus escaping the disaster.
The arms race between Annan and Champa that lasted for more than 20 years began. Every time Haihan organized public arms sales, the two countries inevitably competed.
Naturally, there are two groups of people from North Korea who have similar thoughts.
Both Park Buk-soo and Kim Sang-joo are veterans in the diplomatic field, and they clearly understand the significance of purchasing these weapons and equipment, not only to enhance their own military strength, but also to show their loyalty to Haihan.
It's just that given North Korea's economic level, every large arms purchase will drain the national treasury savings. Moreover, now that the country is divided into two, taxes have been increased from one to five, and the money that can be used for military purchases is even more scarce.
But even if this is the case, they will still bite the bullet and make a purchase, and will not let the other party easily take the initiative.
The envoys from various countries had their own thoughts and soon dispersed one after another.
Qiao Zhiya did not expect that these envoys did not raise any technical issues, so he asked Schneider: "Did the arms sales hosted by Lao Bai in the past also have this kind of atmosphere?"
Schneider knew what he wanted to ask, and explained with a smile: "Our country's arms sales have a very good international reputation, so they don't have to worry about the wrong version of the goods, or problems with the delivery of money and goods. After seeing the physical display later, they will There will be a queue to bid.”
Qiao Zhiya laughed and said: "Thankfully, I prepared a lot of information for this matter a few days ago, but none of it was used."
Schneider said: "That's not necessarily the case. These envoys can't ask any professional questions. When the physical objects are displayed in a few days, they will definitely bring military attachés from their countries to attend. Then there will be some professional questions that you need to answer. .”
Qiao Zhiya said: "Then when will we receive the next batch of customers?"
Schneider said: "There is no rush. Of course there are advantages to taking care of allies first, and the equipment to be sold to other countries is different. When the news about our opening of arms sales spreads in a few days, people will naturally come to inquire."< br>
