As soon as Sattler finished speaking, Wang Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:
"Friends, it's polite to ask the price before buying something."
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Sattler couldn't help laughing and said with a calm expression:
"What? Are you going to blackmail your friends with high prices?"
Wang Ye shook his head at this, and Sattler said with an indifferent expression:
“So friends, what’s the price?”
Under Sattler's gaze, Wang Ye raised a finger and said:
"My regular price is a million dollars apiece."
"But as my friend and our big customer, you can naturally enjoy the big customer discount, which is US$900,000 per unit, and this price includes the price of supporting wearing parts."
"As for ammunition, rockets cost two thousand dollars per round, high-velocity grenades cost the same as normal grenades, and 23mm machine gun rounds are yourselves to figure out."
"There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Regarding the price quoted by Wang Ye, Sattler said loudly:
"To be honest, I thought it would cost at least 1.2 million per unit."
“What an unexpectedly low price. Must cheers to this great deal!”
Sattler looked quite excited. He picked up the tea cup and gestured to Wang Ye in the air. Then he drank it all in one gulp, which was very decent. Wang Ye picked up the cup and said like a big enemy:
"If we are friends, please don't hurt each other, okay?"
"When you say that, it makes me feel like a clown! Each unit costs 300,000 yuan, and 200 units cost 60 million. Of course, I understand that for you, it may be a matter of a day or a few hours. "
"for me"
Wang Ye shook his head rather bitterly and sighed, as if he had finished speaking. Seeing this scene, Sattler couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if he was very interesting, and finally waited for him a few seconds later. After he finished laughing, he seemed to have remembered something, and actually took the initiative to pour tea for Wang Ye, and then asked:
"Have people from the Mitsui Group approached you? I hope you can help introduce me?"
Wang Ye did not deny this, nodded and said:
"Yes, it was at yesterday's party, and they also wanted to pay me agency fees, but I refused them."
"I said I don't have the right to make a decision for you whether to see them or not."
Wang Ye did not say more. Since Sattler raised this matter, it means that his people must have seen this scene, and maybe even heard part of the content. After all, there are people with all kinds of specialties, and there are also people with special ears. possible.
"Actually, there is no need to be so unfamiliar. We are friends, right?"
Obviously, Sattler was satisfied with Wang Ye's reaction, but he said this inconsistently, and then added:
"Do you know what they want from me?"
Wang Ye shook his head, hesitated and said:
"Is it because of the oil equipment problems between our country and Mitsui? They want to bribe you to cut off this transaction?"
"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that people from Mitsui also know that you are hibernating?"
In response, Sattler laughed and said:
"Of course not. They came to me because of crude oil."
"International oil prices have been rising steadily this year, and with the coming of winter in the northern hemisphere, prices will rise further. They don't have enough futures oil, and they hope to get a spot deal from me."
"After all, in the past two years, at the request of the United States, they have been unable to purchase oil from the Soviet Union and Iran."
Suddenly Wang Ye suddenly realized, and Sattler said to himself:
"They hope to get at least 100 million barrels of oil. Based on the recent price of US$38 or US$9 per barrel, the total value is about 4 billion. They hope to start delivery from the time the contract is signed."
"Friend, you should understand the operating rules of international oil futures, right?"
"Normally, it is impossible for anyone to accept an order like theirs. After all, the output of most oil wells in the next two to three years has been set in various futures. Unless there is a sudden increase in production, it will not be possible. There could be so much spot oil.”
"But they are well-informed and know that I still have some goods in hand."
Wang Ye nodded slightly, expressing that he knew something, and then Sattler continued:
"Yesterday they wanted to see me and I turned them down."
"The conditions they offered are really ridiculous! Normally for such a large amount of oil spot, the delivery price must be at least 10% higher than the international futures oil price!"
"That is to say, they will give me at least an additional US$400 million, but yesterday they were only willing to give me US$200 million, haha!"
To be honest, Sattler's words sound like he is showing off his wealth, and a simple calculation can show that if this 100 million barrels of oil deal is completed, the products Sattler bought from himself will actually be worth approximately He didn't pay a penny, it was all paid by the Mitsui Group!
"Let them calm down first! Who is selling the oil to anyway? I don't covet their 400 million US dollars."
"But if they find you again, you promise them."
"As for the fee, you can ask for ten million U.S. dollars. For such a huge transaction, ten million dollars for the broker is not much, or even very little. When the time comes, the money will belong to you, my friend. After all, as my Friends, you can’t be too poor, right? Hahaha!”
At that moment, to be honest, Wang Ye's heart beat twice. Originally, Wang Ye was really planning to take advantage of this incident to kill the Japanese, but Wang Ye's expectation was that it would only be worth 1.8 million US dollars. This money can be kept abroad as US dollars that can be freely mobilized to pave the way for the future consortium to go international and lay the foundation. However, I did not expect that their transaction amount would be so large, and the price offered by Sattler was even more astonishing!
"Ha! Now our poor friends finally see the glimmer of hope."
"Then I won't be polite."
Wang Ye was not polite, he extended his hand to Sattler and said this, and Sattler shook Wang Ye's hand with a smile, and then said:
"It's not worth mentioning, but it also reminds me of a question."
"Originally I was planning to ask yesterday, but I was too rushed and didn't have time. I want to know, my friend, how are you sure that I have not completely lost my power? I am really curious."
Under Sattler's gaze, Wang Ye said with a smile:
"It's very simple. My country has thousands of years of feudal history, and the royal family has changed one after another."
"If you just look at history books, you can find a problem in them."
"With your identity and your past work, if you really lose your power completely or lose His Majesty's favor, I guess it won't take three years, maybe one year, because of a traffic accident, a plane failure, or an oil well explosion. Wait for the reason and go see the gods.”
"In fact, you didn't, which is enough to show that either you have not completely lost your power, or His Majesty is very fond of you."
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Sattler opened and closed his mouth slightly, finally sighed and said with a smile:
"Simple wisdom, but useful enough."
"Okay, friend, you can continue to introduce your new products."
"One more thing. Regarding this fire support vehicle, I will introduce you to another big customer, but I don't know if I can win their favor."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Ye frowned slightly, but did not ask further questions. Instead, he picked up the second photo and handed it over and said:
"Here, this is our second product."
"The first product is called 59-k, nicknamed 'War Extinguisher', while this one is called 59-p, nicknamed 'Freedom Defender'."
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Sattler nodded slightly and took the photo. He was stunned for a moment, with an expression of extreme surprise and astonishment on his face. In the next second, he cursed and asked:
"!(damn it!)"
"What is this? A rocket? But why is it so long and thick? Or a missile?"
"But never seen a missile fired in this way!"
In that photo, it is the rocket launcher system. At this moment, the rocket nest and the front of the vehicle are at a certain angle, slightly raised to face the sky, making a fighting posture, and it looks quite domineering and powerful!
At this moment, Wang Ye said without thinking:
"Of course not missiles. Currently, our factories do not have the ability to produce missiles."
"So this is a new type of rocket system that we have recently developed. It is also called a medium- and long-range rocket internally to distinguish it from the 107 and 122 caliber rockets that are common in the current arms market. After all, their range is extremely large. No part of it exceeds 20 kilometers.”
"It's not wrong to say it's a short-range rocket, right?"
Hearing this, Sattler took the photo and couldn't help but interjected and asked:
"So what is the range of this long-range rocket?"
Under Sattler's piercing gaze, which looked a little eager and expectant, Wang Ye coughed lightly and said seriously:
"This long-range rocket has a caliber of 300 millimeters and a length of six and a half meters."
"It is expected that there will be two models. According to our design goals, the standard model has a range of 80 kilometers and the extended-range model has a range of 120 kilometers."
"At present, our research and development progress is relatively optimistic overall. The range of the standard model has reached the design target of 80 kilometers. However, the test as a military weapon is still in progress and may take some time, so this time I just want to talk to you. Bottom line."
Before Wang Ye left, the rocket after a round of adjustments was tested again. This time the range reached the target and there was no explosion problem, but the problem of tail smoke still existed.
Next, there will be at least thousands of bench engine tests, as well as transportation and launch tests in different actual environments.
"Hiss! Eighty kilometers? One hundred and twenty kilometers?"
At that moment, Sattler took a breath of cold air, no longer as calm as before, and Wang Ye nodded and said:
"Yes, but the dispersal situation is not very optimistic. Our scientific research team is still making adjustments."
"As for delivery, it should be able to be controlled at about two to three kilometers. To be honest, this result is not excellent, or even relatively poor, but we have no way to improve it in a short period of time."
"And the use of more advanced guidance methods will also lead to an increase in unit price."
As Wang Ye spoke, he inserted the videotape into the player, and the video of the 59-p launch began to play on the TV screen. The shocking picture made Sattler's eyes shine with excitement, and he kept nodding and saying:
"Enough! A range of eighty kilometers! A dispersion of three kilometers is enough. As long as the number is large enough, it can easily make up for the lack of accuracy. I have no doubt about this."
"If there are a hundred launch vehicles covering the same target location at the same time, the impact on accuracy will be minimal!"
The reason Sattler was so excited was because he knew that his father and uncle had been longing for similar weapons for a long time. They even hoped to go to the United States to discuss the purchase of "Lance" tactical missiles.
And on the issue of increasing oil production that the United States is lobbying for, it is prepared to use the Lance missile as an important negotiation point. If the United States can successfully export this missile to Saudi Arabia, then the issue of oil is not that it cannot increase production and reduce prices. It is just that recently this After a period of time and several contacts, it became clear that the United States was not very happy with this issue.
Therefore, we can only drag it and see who can't sit still.
But now, my Chinese friend has directly come up with this set of things. The standard model has a range of 80 kilometers, which is quite good for Saudi Arabia, not to mention the high-end model, which has a range comparable to that of a spear. missile!
"How much do you plan to sell this kind of ammunition for?"
Finally, Sattler suppressed his excitement and finally remembered to ask about the price. After all, the range can reach 120 kilometers. In Sattler's opinion, it should not be too cheap. And if the price is too expensive, it cannot be equipped on a large scale. That actually doesn't make much sense.
Of course, the large scale he understood and the large scale Wang Ye understood were probably not the same large scale.
"It has not yet been mass-produced, and the cost cannot be accurately calculated."
"But the final selling price should be around US$60,000 for the standard model, and double the price for the extended-range model."
The increase in size has brought about an increase in the difficulty of production, and this increase is not linear. Otherwise, any country can launch satellites. Don't look at the 120 rockets that cost only one thousand US dollars per shot, but after the caliber is increased to 300 mm. , the price has to increase so much!
As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, Sattler stood up directly, looking excited and circling on the ground thinking about something. After a few seconds, he said to Wang Ye:
"Friends, does anyone know anything about this kind of rocket launcher? I mean except people from your country!"
"Have you told any other foreign customers?"
In response, Wang Ye shook his head and said:
"No, you are my first client."
Thinking of this, Sattler breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said:
"Please keep this weapon secret for the time being. In the future, I hope to sign an exclusive supply agreement with you for at least two years. During this agreement, we will eat all the rockets you produce!"
"Even if you can take out 100,000 bullets, we can still eat them!"
"However, I need to report the specific issue to my father and Prince Duarte. This matter is too important, my friend!"
"Hahahahaha!"
At that moment, Sattler's laughter echoed in the room. In the end, the two of them exchanged a few words. It was obvious that Sattler was already absent-minded and was about to make a report. Wang Ye stood up and was about to leave. Then Sattler suddenly thought of something. , said to Wang Ye:
"By the way, friend, I will contact you first about the client I introduced to you. It should take a few days."
"One more thing, I may need to take advantage of you a little bit next, I hope you can forgive me."
Hearing what Sattler said, Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then asked:
"Is there any danger?"
In response, Sattler shook his head quickly and said with a joking expression:
"Of course not, and maybe it will be a pretty wonderful experience."
"You will understand then. As a friend and your big customer, of course I will not harm you. Don't worry!"
"Even because of this long-range rocket, for my father and my uncle, there is a high probability that your life is more important than mine, so you can rest assured! Hahaha!"
Now that Sattler said so, Wang Ye nodded and said with a smile:
"Okay, there's no problem. It's your duty as a friend to help your friends solve their problems."
"In that case, I'll take my leave now!"
Sattler nodded, and Wang Ye left the photos and video tapes behind. Under the leadership of the staff, he left the small building, got into the Cadillac bulletproof vehicle, and drove towards the office.
