Seeing that the four women got along well and there was no estrangement caused by Li Xinxin's pregnancy, Shen Dong secretly felt relieved.
For Shen Dong, no matter how powerful the enemy, he would not be afraid.
His biggest worry was that his home would be in turmoil and trouble would arise from within his own walls.
In particular, the assets of the Tengfei Group will exceed one trillion US dollars in the future. If the descendants fight amongst themselves, the Su family will really be finished.
Therefore, Shen Dong has decided that when he has children in the future, no matter how busy he is, he will make sure to educate them well.
"Bang bang bang"
There was a knock on the door.
Shen Dong opened the door, saw Li Jie, and asked, "What's up?"
Li Jie waved the mobile phone in his hand and said, "Ahui called. It's about something in Beisu."
Shen Dong closed the door, took the mobile phone, and asked, "Ahui, any news?"
Two days ago, after the old man asked Shen Dong for help in purchasing fighter jets, bombers, and warships, Shen Dong called Chen Hui and asked him to make contact.
"Brother Dong, I'm with Mr. Ivanov right now, and he wants to speak with you."
Shen Dong said, "Give him the phone."
Soon, Ivanov's voice came over.
"Mr. Shen, I heard you're planning to buy bombers, fighter jets, and warships. I'd like to know if you're buying them for the Xia Kingdom?"
"Of course not. I bought it for myself."
"Excuse my bluntness, but you probably don't have the capacity to maintain these weapons and equipment right now."
“Mr. Ivan, don’t underestimate my abilities. Many things can be accomplished with money. I know this matter is too big for you to decide. I hope to contact the high-ranking military officials, go through the proper channels, and we can sign a contract. Unless the Northern Soviet Union ceases to exist, I will absolutely not give away the weapons and equipment I bought from your country to any other country, including Xia.”
Upon hearing this promise, Ivanov immediately felt Shen Dong's sincerity.
As for the Northern Soviet Union no longer existing, he never even considered it.
Shen Dong continued, "Mr. Ivan, you should know that with your country's strength, I would never dare to breach the contract."
Ivanov thought for a moment and asked, "How many do you want to buy? What's the price?"
Shen Dong said, "Mr. Ivan, as far as I know, your country has already sold quite a few bombers, fighter jets, and warships to Middle Eastern countries, and even more have been sold privately. As a distributor, you should know this better than I do."
Ivanov said, "Each Mi-29 fighter jet costs twenty million US dollars, each Mi-31 fighter jet costs thirty-five million US dollars, each Tu-22M bomber costs forty million US dollars, and each Sovremenny-class destroyer costs two hundred million US dollars. Mr. Shen, are you sure you want to buy them?"
expensive!
Shen Dong felt that the price offered by Ivanov was outrageously expensive.
Given Xia's current economic situation, even if Beisu were willing to sell, they probably couldn't afford it.
Shen Dong said, "This is the international market price. Smuggled goods shouldn't cost this much, right?"
Ivanov laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, these fighter jets and warships are the main force of our country's combat operations. They can only be transported through official channels. No one dares to smuggle them."
Shen Dong said, "I want the finished product."
Ivanov said, "Of course. I can negotiate as long as you're willing to pay. By the way, how much will I be paid?"
Shen Dong replied without hesitation, "I said ten percent, and that's ten percent. I'll give you a weapons list tomorrow morning."
Ivanov replied happily, "No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong took a long breath and said, "Damn, that's expensive."
Li Jie asked, "Brother Dong, did you really buy this for yourself?"
Shen Dong smiled slightly and said, "Guess."
Li Jie was speechless.
Shen Dong summoned Du Yuxin and handed him the weapon price list he had just finished writing, saying, "President Du, you need to report this list. If you want to buy anything, you'd better let me know by tomorrow morning. I can't guarantee whether we can buy it or not; I can only say I'll do my best."
Du Yuxin's expression was extremely solemn as he said, "I understand."
At three o'clock in the morning, the phone rang in Chen Dong's room.
Hello, who is this?
"Xiao Shen, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Upon hearing the old man's voice, Shen Dong immediately perked up and said, "It doesn't matter to me, a young man, but you'd better not stay up late and get some rest."
"With your price list out, how can we sleep at night? I want to confirm if you can really buy this equipment? This is the main equipment of the Northern Soviet Union."
"The weapons dealer I contacted is named Ivanov. He seemed quite confident from the way he spoke. The key issue is still the price; I feel it's a bit too expensive."
“We’re not afraid of high prices, we’re afraid of prices being unavailable. If we were to step in, the Northern Soviet Union probably wouldn’t even bother to talk to us.”
"I assured him that I would not sell these weapons to any country or organization unless the North Soviet Union ceased to exist, and only then did he relent."
"You're the smartest kid."
"Grandpa, have you made up your minds? What equipment do you want to buy?"
"Four Sovremenny-class destroyers, twenty Tu-23M bombers, and twenty Mi-31 fighter jets."
"These weapons add up to about 2.3 billion US dollars, and with the kickbacks paid to Ivanov, that's 2.53 billion US dollars. Old man, can Xia's finances handle that?"
"We have to endure it, even if we can't. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we absolutely cannot miss it."
"If the North Soviet Union really disintegrates one day, we may be able to buy these equipment at a cheaper price."
"Ordinary equipment is no problem, but no country would easily sell such a national strategic asset. Xiao Shen, I know you have a lot of money. If this goes through, we'd like to borrow two billion US dollars from you. What do you think?"
“Why don’t you just sell me the land? My Tengfei Automobile Manufacturing Plant is currently producing cars, and once successful, it will immediately become world-renowned. Therefore, I need to build several automobile production bases. Also, the negotiations with Japan are nearing completion, and we also need a base to produce electronic products. Each of these bases requires at least two thousand acres of land, which I can purchase directly with US dollars.”
"This is a great thing that benefits the country and its people, and I will fully support it. But are you so sure that your Tengfei Motors can actually be built?"
"Sir, I have complete confidence in Tengfei Motors. The technology we use is the best in the world, at least five to ten years ahead of the international level."
"If what you say is true, I will personally cut the ribbon for you once the car manufacturing base is completed."
"Okay, it's settled then."
The next day, Shen Dong contacted Ivanov again.
"Mr. Shen, you've gone too far."
"Is it big? This deal is only twice as expensive as our previous one."
