Chapter 212 Killing Two Birds with One Stone (Must be read in full!) (5K words, requesting monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)



One can only sigh and say that Russia has quite a few strongholds.

After dinner, Old Yefu had to return to China to handle company affairs; his trip to Bali was just a side trip to exchange ideas with his colleagues.

The number of people in the ?gna, which has swelled to several thousand, is much more difficult to manage than a concentrated fire defense unit with only a few dozen people.

Fortunately, Mr. Ye has management experience in large catering enterprises, which is also applicable in the PMC industry.

Xia Yu's foundation is much weaker, but the good news is that he still has a museum project for him to practice on.

This is also why he is so keen on the new project. He has to make good preparations before he returns from Zhongfei, which is the official opening date of the museum.

After parting ways with Old Ye Fu outside the restaurant, Xia Yu returned to the hotel.

For solo backpackers, the chaotic streets of Bali may not be very safe, but for a boss like him, who has seven or eight retired special forces soldiers as bodyguards;

What are Gypsies?

What are refugees and illegal immigrants?

The Chinese did put the Cheetah air defense vehicle into service, but apart from some that were mothballed, we sold the rest.

The wholesale price from the manufacturer and the retail price from the distributor are of course the same, which is why Sasu only bought the Shilka River. One Shilka River is equivalent to two and a half Shilka Rivers, so he naturally chose the cheaper one.

That thing is indeed a local specialty product, and it's a practical choice to give as a gift, since some people own it.

With a population of less than 200 million, and coupled with an economic downturn, does Basil have that kind of resilience?

There are quite a few wealthy guys I know, so we need to do simultaneous online and offline promotions in the later stages of the opening to accumulate potential customers.

The bad things I described seem like things I've seen before, but Lan Tingchang denies that such deductions, and the probability of them actually happening is less than 40%.

He said it could be a slow process. The Basilica Navy, which acquired the São Paulo, enjoyed a few years of glory, but what awaited us was not just a mess.

Their hands clasped together again.

It's clear that Basil really wants to get rid of that hot potato.

"You have a very humorous personality, but you are absolutely serious in business negotiations. The São Paulo is only worth 500,000."

That guy behind me, does he know whether he's arrogant or foolish? He's trying so hard to lower the price. If he really sells it to me for 500,000, is he afraid of not having a customer?

I'm already that old, and I'm still doing PMC work, all so that I can provide a worse life for my wife and kids.

That's all a smokescreen. The old magnesium company quoted a very low price of $65 million for the hazardous disposal of an aircraft carrier. If they used cheaper manpower for decommissioning and refitting, they could definitely keep it under $10 million.

"Is there any problem? If it's just a parts car, can you help him negotiate a price of 1 million?"

Liv said, "They're coming!"

As expected, having fewer people is not an advantage.

Klaus Maffei Wegmann produced a total of 570 Cheetah air defense vehicles in the next century. After accounting for exports and those sold off several times, there were at most 100 vehicles in stock.

I wanted to pay off my student loans. Joining the army was a bad idea, as my family was very poor. That's why I was planning to join the Marine Corps.

Lan Ting didn't waste any words and went straight to lowering the price.

“Bad, bad, Mr. Mu Nihei, you’ve convinced yourself, but you still have to convince the people back home.”

"Ahem, Mr. Lan Tingchang, there's nothing you can't say directly. You can definitely do it. As friends, you'll certainly be willing to help."

But I can't advertise it as being worth tens of millions, and I'm absolutely willing to accept testing from an eighth-party organization.

As Lan Ting spoke, she took out a piece of yellow metal with the words "1 Kilo" and "Au999.9" pressed on it.

Like in the United States, public primary schools in Italy also charge tuition fees, but the living expenses for children are affordable for most families.

We need these 34 refurbished vehicles. The 3 salvaged zombie vehicles are broken down, and we'll definitely run out of parts if we go forward. We can always come back to find Monjo.

There was no particular reason why I left the United States and chose to work in Sherlock.

That procurement project is only 80% complete. As long as the final delivery is completed, we can use the supplementary clauses of our contract to add more quantities.

As a result, the drive shaft became loose and fell off, and the boiler showed slight signs of aging. Let's go back and continue the repairs!

Elementary school in the United States is incredibly expensive, not to mention that medical school is one of the most expensive majors.

Afika went straight to the point as soon as he came down.

Specialists can only understand half of what Monjo said, but Afika was just Engesa's manager, and I was a special member of the Army Evaluation Center, so I understood it completely.

Returning injured, Xiao Xiu was seen by the employees as a threat; if he had run away, it would have disrupted the subsequent retaliatory operations.

"Mongoose, how's the situation on their side?"

After a night of conversation, we saw off Il and his party the next day and rushed to another hotel a few kilometers away.

The cooperation was successfully concluded. I accomplished two things in one trip, killing seven birds with one stone.

“Wait, Mr. Afica, you always believed that you could reach a consensus, but as a PMC company, Firepower Defense has never had a request outside of that.”

"Well, if the school outside is a primary school, and they haven't joined FR, you might still go there to attend primary school!"

"Your museum is built on the theme of Sherlock, while Baty's investment in Sherlock has been increasing year by year, which is also a testament to the friendship between the two sides. However, in the protection of cold-climate rainforests, Baty and 'Gu' don't have much in common..."

The contract stipulates that the amounts of those two transactions will be made public, but when the eighth phase of the Jihuo Defense Museum project officially starts and the museum opens, officials from Bashi will be invited to witness the event.

We boarded the plane and had a beer first, then filled our stomachs and found a place to stay. Without Hans' cooperation, Liv didn't know that the boss was coming.

“He’s bad, Mr. Mu Nihei. You haven’t received your domestic assignment yet to handle the pre-commissioning matters of the St. Paul.”

If only I had known I would have recited it, I would have regretted it.

"Yes, neither of us is interested, but we don't have any environmental organizations in our country. They might have a bad talk today, but tomorrow there could be protests and demonstrations in our country. Under pressure, the deal would be unilaterally terminated, and the handling of the São Paulo would be a long way off."

Hans hadn't left home with his mother yet when he arrived in Lantingchang.

While it may seem like a loss of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in the economic sphere, it can definitely be made up for in the political sphere.

Back in 2005, a violent explosion occurred in the pipeline of the ship's steam catapult, resulting in casualties. The ship was taken to the shipyard for repairs, which lasted for two years, and it was hoped that it could be restored to combat capability.

"Here's what happened: you were attacked by a competitor using manned aircraft. Although you eventually took them down, the situation in Sherlock became increasingly easier, and the intensity of the conflict gradually escalated. You urgently need to equip yourselves with a field air defense weapon."

"Your minimum goal is to ensure the safety of tourists and prevent them from becoming weak. You will use the profits earned from the first and seventh phases of the project to carry out harmful modifications to the eighth phase of the warship project."

In reality, the aid provided was limited to upgrading radar and fire control systems and integrating programmable munitions (AhEAd), offering virtually no real defensive capabilities.

Monjo ended his output.

Afika took the money and immediately made a promise.

"It was a pleasure to see Mr. Lan Tingchang again."

Monjo came to Bali to participate in the defense exhibition. Once the exhibition is over, he will definitely have to go back to his work, and Jihuo Defense has more important things to do.

The price they're asking for in China is 2 million, but of course, negotiating a lower price would be the worst-case scenario, just enough to recoup some of the losses before I suffer a huge loss.

Meng Qiao hasn't come up with a complete plan yet; he's just waiting for me to get back so we can officially get started.

The poison ship can be sold at a low price; Montgomery is doing charity work.

Italians have a weak sense of family and are the Europeans most similar to the Chinese.

Then you could say, no wonder that guy made money!

Fourteen years later, so-called environmentalism was just a budding phenomenon, but today it has gradually grown and become a powerful weapon to attack a country's economy.

As a result of his outstanding qualities, he was selected to leave FR, and then he left Ma Saoke due to the reform.

They even poured money into building a seventh ship, but the new ship seemed to have terrible luck, and it looked like it was the seventh bottomless pit.

Both sides have the same seventh-hand aircraft carriers, and both suffered the same accident of breaking them, but the other side invested 1.5 billion, then increased to 2 billion, and even 3 billion US dollars without making a sound.

"Don't bother with the meeting. Just go directly from Lantingchang back to Konglujia."

“Mr. Afica, your country’s people have no feelings for the St. Paul. The dismantling work will definitely be postponed smoothly, and it will forever exist only in people’s memories.”

Monjo, on the other hand, pursued the principle of minimizing the impact of a single vehicle, treating both ground and air targets equally.

Monjo made the decision directly.

Fortunately, Sasu was willing to spend that money, and Lanting, who wanted to be ripped off, also wanted to spend it, so the Bashi people bought a batch.

I've said all the bad things I could think of, and Lan Tingchang agrees but also feels there's something to say.

Pollution is a necessary price to pay for development. What makes people call them bad guys is that after they finished developing, they're the ones who pollute!

"Sure, and I'll definitely be there to support the museum on its opening day."

Afica ended its weak statement by saying that it was focused on the defense of the São Paulo, but there were few potential buyers and we were in high demand.

"Pleasant cooperation?"

That would be a complete disaster. You can accept losing money once or twice, but if it happens again and again, with one bad thing after another, then you should just quit.

But the Chinese behind us don't want us to break even; they're planning to cut us even further.

It was too late. Monjo led his team to the airport and launched a blitzkrieg against Yair.

Lan Ting said indignantly.

After tomorrow, you will complete the first major transition from student to doctor, and I hope you can become a bad battlefield medic!

The project hasn't even started yet, and Meng Qiao hasn't even figured out how to hype it up, so I have very little confidence in it.

After collecting the damaged contracts and seeing Afica and his group off, Monjo called the guys who were hanging out in the hotel gym back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

The main contents of the contract are that Bashi will purchase 34 Cheetah 1A2 self-propelled low-altitude guns from them, including 3 spare vehicles for replacement parts, as well as ammunition, transportation, training systems, warranty, technical manuals, maintenance tools and logistical support.

They want to sell it for $2 million domestically, but as Monjo said, there's actually someone willing to pay that much.

Whose pocket do you want to touch?

Now, we have to go and lend a hand, no matter what, and try to make your graduation ceremony a little quieter.

So when the young man got into school, he had already dropped out and given his spot to his wife. As it turned out, he found a lover in elementary school, who became my second wife.

Yes, that was a poison ship!

Afika accepted the gift discreetly and inquired about Monjo's difficulties.

"I know how much Mr. Lan Tingchang quoted."

To be honest, as someone who dropped out of elementary school, I was quite envious of Liv for being able to graduate smoothly.

Hmm, if they want my alimony, they'll even ask for my citizenship.

The so-called ruthless person is probably not like that.

Walking through the Little Harden campus of Lantingchang Primary School, the old man Ruoni said with a hint of envy.

Mawaiano then added.

"You're envious, not that you wish both your children could finish primary school."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Your child also needs to go to primary school, and he'll have to finish it for you."

Meng Qiao's rhetoric was superb; after all, he had done his homework.

"General, you should go back first. We need to stay in Europe for a couple more days."

After investing hundreds of millions of dollars, the ship finally passed the sea trials in 2011. However, just one year later, another fire broke out on the deck.

So Cheng Sasu really spent money to acquire two Cheetah 1A2s, which is very likely to be shot down. However, if Lan Ting's F-4K aircraft were to take a burst of machine gun fire, and that fire was 35mm caliber, it would be a different story.

"And how delightful it would be if it were to become a military museum before undergoing harmful modifications!"

Lan Ting and the others stayed in Bali for two more days. Afica finally persuaded the people back home and, after discussing some details with Jihuo Defense, officially signed the contract.

Now that we've finished the most important things over there, we have to go back.

It's true that in international military trade, buying secondhand equipment is still a very attractive option.

Meng Qiao stood up and extended his left hand.

Look at the GDP, look at the military budget, forget it.

The support on the back is rather weak and ineffective, which is truly difficult to achieve. It's a mistake to even buy a ready-made one on the market; to think you can modify it is just wishful thinking.

Meng Qiao naturally gave his full support, after all, I also benefited, so it was a win-win situation!

How can I put it? At that point, the Pattani people really are like mynah birds.

Seeing that the cooking time was too short, Meng Qiao resorted to playing the emotional card.

With customers all over the world, such as Romania, Yodan, and Patal, Basil also joined in the quiet and bought a batch of cheetahs.

"It will be a pleasure to cooperate!"

Lan Ting offered an explanation for this.

The elementary school in that country charges tuition, and apart from the fact that it's not difficult to graduate, everything else is bad.

It's about the impacts: waste oil, lead, mercury, low-chlorinated biphenyls, and even a small amount of asbestos. Those non-toxic substances under the St. Paul ship were all washed away. The process of handling them would definitely be attacked.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't just a show; the fact that everyone was carrying the sedan chair was a testament to the friendship between the two sides.

It's not that the price isn't high, it's $800 million, and it's guaranteed that there won't be any problems upfront.

Before returning to her room to rest, Xia Yu went next door to meet with Meng Qiao.

Based on that guy's increasingly hesitant explanations, I wasn't confident I could convince the domestic authorities to accept that deal.

Should we look for another opportunity to help, or save it for someone else we helped before?

Fortunately, there was no Begonia Rabbit yet, which helped preserve the dignity of the front line.

They can use other channels, starting at $2.7 million per vehicle, and they'll even give away ammunition. Buy it if you want.

Of the dozens of employees at Jihuo Defense, only the fruit bat and the glider are flight school graduates; the rest of the staff actually have a bachelor's degree.

My request isn't unreasonable; I don't just want to ride the wave and get a car at the wholesale price.

Lan Ting greeted the manager who was supposed to be selling cars but was instead forced to sell boats.

Even if they were unlucky enough to die in battle, $200,000 would be enough for a son and a daughter to grow up.

When a museum opens, it's naturally lacking in people to come and support it.

My place repairs [unspecified type of equipment] equipment; the quality is excellent and the price is reasonable. Everyone who has used it says it's great.

Whose phone did they steal?

Well, $1.5 million for a seventh-hand poison aircraft carrier and a seventh-hand self-propelled low-altitude gun.

"That is a local specialty from the rainforest. Is it something valuable? Please accept it, Mr. Afica."

It's fine to move it in, but we can also move it out of the dock, do a thorough minor overhaul, and it can serve for another 20 years.

"You admit that, but the key issue is that the St. Paul has no sister ships, and the internet has no memory. How can you guarantee that the targeting the Clemenceau suffered back then will not be repeated on the St. Paul today?"

34+3 Cheetahs cost only $48.5 million, averaging $1.31 million per car, which is $500,000 cheaper than the Weasel A3 sold by Monjo.

Lan Tingchang thought Meng Qiao was joking; after all, it was an aircraft carrier!

Our own shipbreaking yards are willing to sacrifice, while other countries are just fools.

My position as a specially appointed member of the Army Evaluation Center didn't really have much say; we weren't responsible for the Cheetah shooting experiments and evaluation reports back then.

The night after graduation, I went to the laboratory building and visited my teacher, Hermann, at the very front.

These are nothing compared to getting an RPG shot at you on the next street corner.

"Boss, your sister's school is having its graduation ceremony tomorrow, and she'll be able to meet up with them the day before yesterday."

Compared to her early days of hardship, Lan Ting now has many friends both in official circles and among the general public in various Sherlock countries.

Without giving it much thought, Meng Qiao brought up the museum project again.

But cheap products can be bad. The radar on the Shilka River is too outdated. Although the radar on the Cheetah is also outdated, it is still a level worse.

Without the help of a system, the investment required is even less for the restaurants and hotels on board; $1 million should be more than enough.

As someone who sells cars, selling boats is just a favor. Before confirming that the São Paulo is a problem, the slower I sell it, the worse it will be.

For businesses like ours, efficiency isn't what we need.

Lan Tingchang paused Lan Ting's output.

The people from Bassian Special Forces were staying there. Lan Ting was there to discuss the aircraft carrier project, and there was also a bundled project involved.

The purchase only cost $12 million, but subsequent investments amounted to more than a dozen or seventy $12 million each. It wasn't for the sake of saving face or losing face; in the end, it still entered and left the aircraft carrier club.

"Because you invested a small amount of money in the first phase of the armored vehicle equipment project, the initial budget for the warship project is very limited, so you can only contribute $500,000."

"Yes, yes, you've overlooked its commercial value. Neither the Indians nor the Turks are interested. If you insist on that price, why did you choose to hold a public auction?"

"500,000? Mr. Mu Nihei, are you kidding me?"

Two years later, the Basil military signed a $48.5 million contract with the U.S. Federal Armed Forces Procurement Agency.

Packing up his bad luggage, Monjo dialed Hans's number.
