Chapter 264 Hello, it’s half past eight
Zheng Yucun never expected that Chen Chen would say this.
He thought that Chen Chen wanted to raise the price on the ground and deliberately made things difficult for Salaman before he hesitated.
Mr. Chen, who dared to love ghosts and ghosts, was also confused.
Chen Chen's quotation just now was considered to be the kind quoted to Gaoli. After all, the small target of twenty or thirty is no joke.
As a result, Salaman directly understood it as the price of one phase, not the price of the total package.
Be reasonable.
The domestic economy is not bad, and Chen Chen and Zheng Yucun are also people who have seen money.
Not too poor!
Maybe why they got here, no matter what they did, they always felt like there was a circle of poor buff above their heads.
Salaman had no idea how poor they were, and they had no idea how rich Salaman was.
Chen Chen was hesitant about this.
Another young man wearing a turban suddenly spoke and said to Salaman in pure English: "Your Excellency, should we consider investing in aerospace in the future?"
Chen Chen set his sights on this young man.
Judging from his age and conversation, this must be the legendary pro-American faction.
There are complex factions within the local tyrants.
These young people with Western educational backgrounds are naturally pro-American.
Obviously.
This young man asked Salaman to reconsider in front of Chen Chen. It was definitely not for financial reasons.
Twenty to three billion is estimated to be the food expenses for the little pets at the door for a year.
Rich people don't care.
What they care about is the signal behind the investment.
Young people are afraid that the large sums of money invested by local tycoons in Dongda's commercial aerospace industry will send a bad message to Yingjiang.
Dissuading Salaman in front of Chen Chen also meant that he was declaring his position on behalf of different factions in the country.
This was meant for Chen Chen to hear.
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man carefully: "Who is your Excellency?"
Salaman first introduced: "His name is Faisal, my half-brother and a prince."
Princes are everywhere here. In Chen Chen's eyes, those princes without real power are exactly the same as ordinary workers. He does not treat Salaman and Faisal with the same standards.
Chen Chen could completely hear the implication of Feisal's words.
Faisal advised Salaman to think twice. It was all because of his position and had nothing to do with interests.
But he still pretended to be confused and asked, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Sir, it seems you have concerns about investing in commercial aerospace?"
"Yes, I'm not very optimistic about the prospects of commercial aerospace." Faisal said calmly. "The technology industry is an industry that requires high investment. Although we are rich, money does not fall from the sky. We must have a clear mind to ensure our devaluation."
Zheng Yucun looked at the little prince and talked.
All the ears hear is balabalabala.
Pure bullshit.
Yes, your money does not fall from the sky.
But it came out of the ground.
None of those things cost anything.
It's obviously because you're afraid of angering your godfather and fear of Yingjiang's sanctions.
Let’s put aside this nonsense about investment output and depreciation and appreciation.
If you care so much about these things.
Should those animals in the front yard be released first?
Chen Chen had the same idea, but what he said was not so straightforward: "Since you care so much about returns, you can invest in Nasdaq."
Faisal nodded: "We do like the market over there."
"I understand, their market is indeed strong." Chen Chen gave an example. "Go back 36 years ago, when the Nasdaq was over 300 points."
Everyone was slightly stunned.
I don’t know why Chen Chen started counting from 1988.
Immediately afterwards.
He said: "In 1988, your old king spent 3.5 billion from us to buy missiles. If this 3.5 billion were placed on Nasdaq, it would have increased 60 times, and you would have made a profit of 200 billion."
"Spending 3.5 billion to buy a bunch of iron lumps, and it is not a famous brand, of course it will not maintain its value."
"If you had used the 3.5 billion to buy luxury goods and out-of-print watches, you would still be making money now."
"In this case, when Siludamu annexes Kuwait and knocks on your country's door in the future, you can point to your watch and say, 'Hello, it's half past eight.'"
"…………"
Faisal was suddenly speechless and felt as if he had eaten shit.
Salaman looked very satisfied.
What Chen Chen just said is the work logic Salaman has implemented in his position in the past few years.
Therefore, even if there are different factions in the country that obstruct it, it often creates obstacles.
He is also determined to buy weapons from Dongda.
As for Chen Chen’s commercial space plan, Salaman thinks it has the same logic. The 3 billion investment in Chen Chen was not for profit.
It's about keeping yourself from falling behind.
just in case.
In the future, human technology will be able to land on Mars, the moon, and even further places. At least these three billion can be exchanged for a ticket.
Otherwise.
They can only sit on the pile of oil and gold and look at the sky and dig 666.
"What Mr. Chen said makes sense." Salaman stretched out his hand that symbolized the agreement. "We will participate in the Thousand-Hand Guanyin Project. I will personally select a delegation to come to discuss the follow-up details with your company."
Chen Chen raised the corner of his mouth: "You are welcome at any time."
Zheng Yucun saw the two people chatting in full swing and felt that the cigar in his hand was not fragrant.
Although it was an informal meeting, Chen Chen accepted the three billion yuan calmly.
By the way, the customer was also taught a lesson.
Since Chen Chen's insult, the man named Faisal has never been to the table again.
This also reveals Salaman’s position.
Chen Chen's words just now were very tactful, but the core idea was very sharp, which made His Royal Highness feel very embarrassed.
even so.
Salaman happily reached an agreement with Chen Chen.
This shows that Salaman also wants to use Chen Chen to suppress the pro-American faction.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the dinner officially ended.
The two parties said they would see each other tomorrow in a peaceful atmosphere, and then Salaman sent someone to take the two back to the hotel.
After the guests left, Salaman's face immediately turned livid: "Stupid Faisal, these fools might affect our grand strategy."
The subordinate responded softly.
He was also present when the little prince spoke just now, and he heard and saw clearly.
There was a bit of a tense atmosphere.
If it weren't for Chen Chen's humble rebuttal, Faisal would probably have caused the visiting delegation to leave unhappy.
"Your Excellency, I think Mr. Chen is still happy to deal with us."
"Of course, he is a smart man." Salaman acknowledged Chen Chen. "But this time Dongda sent Chen Chen here, which made me a little worried about the subsequent negotiations."
"Why?" The subordinates didn't quite understand. Chen Chen was a friend, wouldn't it be easier to talk about it?
"He is so smart, I'm afraid he will open his mouth like a lion."
The subordinate nodded and thought for a while: "If we use the air defense systems of other countries as a reference, the market price is about 500-800 million US dollars, and the most is only 1 billion. It should not exceed our psychological range."
"You are wrong. The market price you mentioned does not apply to Dongda."
Salaman hesitated.
He knows all the air defense systems of the same level around the world.
Especially the price.
Take the Maozi model for example, the selling price ranges from 500 million to 1.2 billion.
But what level is that set?
Judging from the test data leaked recently, the interception rate is around half.
And there are many countries around the world that equip it, so it is not exclusive.
FD2000 is different.
This system is equipped in very few countries except for the buddies of Dongda University.
The price offered by Dongda to its iron buddies is for technical poverty alleviation and is not subject to market discussion.
If the price is simply calculated based on the capabilities of the FD2000, this system should be far from the market price.
"The air defense system is not a car. If BMW is gone, Mercedes-Benz can replace it. Once the FD2000 is gone, we will only be beaten."
"We have two other options." The subordinate was naive.
Salaman smiled disdainfully: "Not to mention the performance of those two options, those two air defense systems have a natural disadvantage."
"What?"
"When we buy the FD2000, it is equivalent to buying an invisible protective cover. Dongda's air defense has always targeted only one country--."
That’s all.
The assistant suddenly realized: "So we have to be prepared?"
"Yes, since they are here, it means they intend to sell." Salaman made up his mind. "We must not lose this historic opportunity because of price."
"I understand!"
Salaman ordered: "You will personally ask the king for instructions tonight. I plan to purchase 20 sets at a price of US$1.5 billion each."
"Okay, the total is about 30 billion US dollars, I will report it immediately."
The subordinates immediately left Salaman's mansion.
When he went to report, it was actually just a formality to let the king know.
Because the king had previously given instructions that Salaman could make the decision on his own for the US$20 billion.
If it exceeds the limit, we can make the decision with just a notification.
Money is not an issue.
