With the 60 billion order in front, the small order of 2.8 billion now does not arouse Lin Sanqi's interest at all, and he is too lazy to bargain anymore.
Not only did he not bully honest people, but he also gave them another big order.
"Mr. He, I have no problem with this price."
When everyone from the Shaanxi Aircraft Group heard this, they all exclaimed in amazement, and their faces were filled with joy.
2.8 billion! You can get so much money by exchanging a few old planes. This is asset restructuring and reuse, just like picking up money for free, so everyone is very happy.
Who knew that Lin Sanqi would give them another big gift package later.
"Mr. He, do you think our Shaanxi Aircraft Group has any drones for sale?"
When He Chengong heard this, his eyes lit up again, and he thought, could he still promote it?
"Yes, Shaanxi Aircraft is also at the forefront of drone technology. Director Lin, are you looking for a large drone? The Ibis Shadow system drones produced by our group are absolutely affordable and high-quality, and are worth having."
Lin Sanqi waved his hand. Large drones have a long range and a large payload, but they are highly dependent on GPS signals, which could not be solved in the 1960s.
"Mr. He, you should also know that my customers are all in faraway Africa. The quality of the people there is a bit poor. They don't know how to operate complicated things, and they don't have the technical support for advanced technological equipment.
So I need to import some small and medium-sized drones, of course they must be military versions, all kinds of models. I think this should not violate confidentiality regulations, right?
So, you can initially order 10,000 aircraft, which I need urgently. Later, I'll order another 100,000 aircraft, which can all be written into the contract, and I'm willing to pay the deposit."
Lin Sanqi is really in a dilemma. He won’t sell the Y-20 or the Y-9, let alone the J-20.
In fact, what Lin Sanqi didn’t know was that the Z-20 helicopter, which was suitable for plateau combat, was still not for sale.
This is not for sale, and that is kept secret. Lin Sanqi feels that the domestic military factories are too constrained. On the one hand, they have to generate income, but on the other hand, there are restrictions. It's like dancing in handcuffs.
Can't you learn from the Americans? As long as you pay, you can choose any weapons you want. At worst, they will pretend to throw them all to you when they retreat.
When He Chengong heard about the large order for over 100,000 drones, he was instantly overjoyed:
"Okay, okay, Director Lin, that's no problem. There are no export restrictions on small and medium-sized drones. We at Shaanxi Aircraft can provide them. We'll provide as many as you want. In the field of drones, my country is definitely the world's strongest. No other country can compare."
Lin Sanqi didn't hesitate:
"Then, let's make it a deal. I hope to get the goods as soon as possible, the sooner the better. As for the payment, Mr. He, don't worry. We will pay you and deliver the goods at the same time. We will never owe you money."
Mr. He discussed quietly with the team members next to him for a while before confirming:
"Okay, Director Lin, that's it. You designate the airport, and we'll apply for the routes for the 20 Y-8 transport aircraft. We guarantee they'll be in place within a week. As for the drones, we already have them in stock in our warehouse, so that shouldn't be a problem."
Lin Sanqi felt relieved when he heard this:
"That's great. Mr. He, let's have a pleasant cooperation."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Both parties stood up, and these large transactions totaling more than 4 billion were easily negotiated.
He Chengong looked at his watch. The enthusiasm of the people in Northwest China was also rising at this time:
"Director Lin, and Old Huang, it's almost evening. Let's go, come on, I'm treating you all to a private dinner today. I'm inviting you to the Tang Music Palace. The Tang Music Palace is a specialty of our Xi'an. Before dinner, you can even watch a classical Tang Dynasty music and dance performance. It's a double enjoyment of food and art!"
Lin Sanqi said embarrassedly:
"Mr. He, I'm really interested in the restaurant you mentioned where you can enjoy both performances and delicious food, but I'm really pressed for time. I'm about to fly to Changchun to purchase a batch of large trucks.
After leaving Changchun, I'm planning to head to the capital to find ways to procure a batch of machine guns, rifles, and other supplies. Time is very tight. Mr. He, Mr. Huang, next time you come to Huadu, I'll treat you to the best Moutai.
He Chengong blinked and asked in confusion:
"You want a gun? An exported one?"
Lin Sanqi thought, of course it is for export. I dare not play with this thing in the country. Whoever plays with it will die.
"Yes, I could have gone to Israel to buy a batch, but the trading volume there is not large. Small batches are OK, but large quantities are not available. So I want to try my luck in China, and if that doesn't work, I will look for a way abroad."
He Chengong slapped his thigh, and Huang Jinpeng also laughed:
"Mr. Lin, Chairman Lin, you're just like a pig with a pig's head. Why go abroad? Just buy it here in China. No matter how much quantity or type you want, we have everything."
Huang Jinpeng also laughed and said:
"Our domestic weapons are now no worse than those abroad. Unlike aircraft and other things, we have export restrictions. For guns, we can export as many as foreign countries want.
Right now, domestic arsenals are worried about not being able to get orders and sell their guns. And you're worried about not being able to buy guns. Others are rushing in both directions, but you're missing out on both. Haha."
Lin Sanqi felt relieved when he heard this. He finally heard another good news.
What he fears most now is that if he asks for this gun and they say they don't sell it, or if he asks for that gun and they say there are restrictions, that would be embarrassing.
He Jinpeng took out his cell phone and dialed as he spoke:
"Director Lin, you can have dinner in Xi'an. If you want to buy guns for export, I'll give you a call and the manufacturer will appear before you tonight. You can choose whatever you want then. It's as simple as that."
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Sanqi to reply, He Chengong had already made a phone call and started shouting loudly.
"Hey, Old Zhao, congratulations on your fortune... What? What's the reason for your congratulations?... Let me tell you, I have a client who needs to export a large number of guns, with a minimum order of 1 billion. So you're not going to get rich anymore?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Pingzhi, the chairman of the Oriental Weapon Group, stood up immediately after hearing this:
"Lao He, is this true? Which country is the buyer from? Is it reliable?"
He Chengong glanced at Lin Sanqi and chuckled:
"Have you ever heard of the Huadu Lingnantang Group?"
Zhao Pingzhi nodded blankly and said:
"Lingnan Hall? I know. They purchased hundreds of domestic aircraft some time ago, and the transaction volume is said to be over 60 billion. Damn, how come we can't meet such a wealthy man?"
He Chengong chuckled and said proudly:
"Hey, Lao Zhao, let me tell you, Chairman Lin of Lingnan Hall is right next to me, and they need to urgently purchase a batch of guns.
How about it? Are you interested? Let me tell you, if I hadn't stopped him, he would have been snatched up by another weapons company."
There are many arsenals in the country that can produce guns, from south to north. Later, two major weapons groups were established in the country to unify production and sales.
The largest of these are the Eastern Ordnance Group Corporation and the Western Ordnance Group Corporation (actually the South and North).
There is information asymmetry now. Lin Sanqi is waving a check but doesn't know where to buy weapons.
Once other arsenals knew that there was such a God of Wealth with a large order, believe it or not, there would be a rush to recruit him immediately.
Sure enough, when Zhao Ping heard this, he immediately shouted excitedly:
"Lao He, you're such a great benefactor to me. Chairman Lin, please keep me here. Treat me to delicious food and drinks, and cover all expenses. Tomorrow, oh no, now, I'll find a way to come here. If there's no civil aviation, I'll take a special plane."
He Chengong was delighted when he heard this:
"Okay, you said it, Mr. Zhao will pay for the whole meal tonight, so Old Huang and I will not be polite."
Zhao Pingzhi, He Chengong, and Huang Jinpeng were actually classmates. They were the first batch of college students who took the college entrance examination in 1977. Naturally, they were in the same circle and would take care of each other if anything good happened.
That evening, Lin Sanqi was invited to a big dinner and watch a song and dance performance.
After all, it's a state-owned enterprise, so it's impossible to take him to some top club, order a few young models, and open ten sets of spade aces on the spot...
While Lin Sanqi was invited to a business banquet, Zhao Pingzhi, the CEO of Oriental Ordnance Group, was extremely anxious because all flights to Xi'an that evening were cancelled.
The secretary consoled him, "Mr. Zhao, why don't we leave early tomorrow morning? We have a flight at 7 a.m., so we don't need to wait this long."
Zhao Pingzhi shook his head firmly:
"No, we have to go tonight. I've got some inside information, which gives me an advantage. But you know, we're all old acquaintances in the military industry, and information is like a sieve, so it's impossible to keep it secret.
If our competitors get there first, we'll be in big trouble. We should either not pursue Lingnan Tang or make a big move if we do. This will impact our performance for the entire year, so we absolutely have to seize the opportunity."
Having said that, Zhao Pingzhi picked up the phone, took out a number and dialed it:
"Lao Wang, Shi Wan Huo Ji, you must arrange a military plane for me immediately. I need to fly to Xi'an right now. Yes, right now. I owe you one."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Pingzhi let out a long sigh and walked out quickening his pace:
"Let's go, take the information, and we'll set off now!" (End of this chapter)
