“Mr. Chen, let’s go to the conference room first,” Mike suggested.
Chen Yu nodded and followed Mike to the group's headquarters conference room.
At that moment, a group of senior executives in the conference room were still discussing something, but when they saw Chen Yu arrive, they all fell silent.
A white woman who looked to be in her early fifties greeted him warmly: "Hello Mr. Chen, I am Sophia, the vice president of XX Military Industry Group. I am here to represent the company in this negotiation with you."
…………
After some haggling, the weapons Chen Yu purchased were priced at 1.5 billion US dollars.
This includes: 3,000 P226 pistols, 3,000 M4 assault rifles, 50 M110 sniper rifles, 50 tracked M1064A3 self-propelled mortars, 20 XM-30 mechanized infantry fighting vehicles, 10 Paladin self-propelled howitzers, 20 multi-domain artillery pieces, 10 Phalanx close-in weapon systems, 3 Apache attack helicopters, 3 F-35B fighter jets (including one two-seater special version), and 200 million rounds of ammunition and shells of various specifications.
All weapons and equipment are Merika's top-of-the-line active-duty equipment.
Even the F-16 fighter jets on Chen Yu's original list were replaced with the more advanced but also more expensive F-35s at Sofia's enthusiastic recommendation.
This made Chen Yu feel like he was being taken advantage of.
Chen Yu's feeling was right; anyone would think he was a sucker for simply paying for the goods but not taking delivery.
Funded by Chen Yu, they naturally wanted Chen Yu to buy the best of everything in their stockpiling contracts with Merica.
A sales ban? Not at all. This is a contract that even the Pentagon in Merica granted.
But is that really the case? Is Chen Yu willing to be taken advantage of?
Of course not, everything he did was for a specific purpose.
He possesses an alternate dimension beyond the comprehension of this world, and before the apocalypse arrives, he will surely try to take his things away.
Just as Sofia was about to order her subordinates to draft the contract.
Chen Yu made one last request: "Ms. Sofia, I have a small request. I need these weapons to be customized. I hope they can meet the requirements for combat in extreme low temperatures below -70°C, and those with wheels should be equipped with snow driving capabilities."
Sofia was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Combat in extreme low temperatures below -70°C? In the snow? Are we going to fight in Antarctica?
However, she quickly realized that it didn't matter, since they didn't need to pay for it anyway.
Just do as they want to do.
In any case, they ultimately retain control of these weapons, as if they had gotten them for free.
After exchanging glances with several executives in the room, Sophia nodded and smiled, "No problem, but Mr. Chen, if it's customized according to your requirements, then it won't be this price."
"Understood, please give me a new price." Chen Yu nodded.
"Hold on."
Sofia tilted her head slightly and discussed something in hushed tones with the executives and technicians beside her.
Then, with a smile, he turned to Chen Yu: "Based on our preliminary estimate, to meet your special requirements, we need to increase the cost by 20%. This means the total price will be $1.8 billion. This includes all weapon customization and testing costs."
"No problem, let's sign the contract." Chen Yu nodded; the price was still within his budget.
After all, if these weapons and equipment cannot meet the requirements of low-temperature combat in an extremely cold post-apocalyptic world, their performance will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, this expense is absolutely essential and is one of the fundamental reasons why he spent a huge sum of money to customize the equipment.
Soon, the purchase contract was printed out, listing Chen Yu's order list.
And detailed requirements, including delivery method: permanently stored by XX Military Industry Group.
Acceptance date: February 2025, total price: US$1.8 billion.
Given how unusual his procurement contract was, Chen Yu negotiated the original 30% prepayment rate down to 15%.
He immediately cashed out $270 million from the Merica stock market and made an advance payment, thus officially putting the contract into effect.
