"Five units a month, I guess!"
Su Lin thought for a moment and gave a specific number.
This order will take almost a year to be fully delivered!
"Okay! I'll transfer the funds to you first!"
"The deposit is 100 million US dollars! The full amount will be paid after the first delivery!"
"What deposit? The finance department will process the payment this afternoon. Who makes a deposit for buying something?"
Worried we can't afford it? Mr. Su, once we receive the funds, please start production as soon as possible!
"Okay, okay, okay!!!"
Su Lin hung up the phone.
"Principal Su, is that all? 50 aircraft??? Tens, hundreds, thousands... trillions, billions, 2.5 billion US dollars??? And that's it???"
Previously, Commander Yuan didn't understand why Su Lin had been cooperating with the North China Military Region and the Southern Military Region.
According to Commander Tang and Commander Wang, not only is military spending unnecessary, but research units in the major military regions are also supported.
As for the venue, we just need to coordinate.
Making money still depends on selling weapons.
One phone call, and a $2.5 billion deal was made!!!
"Yes, we've collaborated before."
"Damn, Principal Su, we've been to sea together before, and even fought against American aircraft carriers!"
"We're practically brothers, give me a heads-up, how much does one J-20 cost?"
No wonder Commander Tang hangs out with Principal Su every day; he's probably reaping quite a bit of benefits.
"Commander Yuan, this is not something you can ask about; it's a trade secret, but the cost is also very high!"
"It's a fifth-generation fighter jet, you know!"
"They just look down on me, Old Yuan. Commander Tang, who's in charge of production, probably knows that!"
Given the relationship between Commander Yuan and Commander Tang, even a simple phone call would likely result in Commander Tang revealing some information to Commander Yuan.
We're all commanders of China, so we should at least give each other some face.
Su Lin couldn't put on airs, so he could only grow three fingers.
"Thirty million? You made 20 million US dollars from a single plane???"
Mexican drug lords would be moved to tears upon hearing this...
"There's no such amount, Commander Yuan, you've misunderstood. It's about 30% profit, which is only about 15 million US dollars!"
"That's practically $20 million after rounding up, isn't it? Principal Su, our Eastern Military Region also has many research projects..."
You can't just think about other military regions and forget about our Eastern Military Region! You have to prioritize the overall situation!
As Commander Yuan spoke, he poured tea for Su Lin.
"Look at the current situation, our Eastern Military Region is also under great pressure."
"Commander Yuan, we will definitely take on any new projects, but as you know, our Lanxiang Military Industry..."
Aside from R&D, what about the sales rights?
"Same to me, I'll do the same as the old man. He gets a piece of meat, and I get a sip of soup!"
"Then it's settled. However, Principal Su, I still have a question."
"You say it, Commander Yuan!"
Su Lin sipped his tea. The tea brewed by the commander had a rich, full-bodied flavor; it was particularly robust and intense.
"I think our production volume isn't that low, is it? The Eastern Theater Command already has more than 20 J-20s in service."
Surely Old Tang and Old Wang can't have less than me, right?
Commander Yuan was right.
Currently, there are over 20 J-20 fighter jets in the Eastern Theater Command and over 30 in the Northwest Theater Command.
The Southern Theater Command had the most, with Commander Wang's unit having over 60 aircraft directly in service.
The military budget for the J-20 fighter jet alone has already been advanced until the year after next.
Commander Tang also has more than 30 aircraft distributed across various military bases in the Northern Theater Command.
However, Commander Tang also bought on credit.
The 50 aircraft from the big dog owner can be said to have given Su Lin a huge boost.
Do you understand "hunger marketing"?
"Hunger marketing??? Doesn't that mean the more people who are hungry, the more we should sell?"
Su Lin thought about it and realized, "Yes, people from the 1990s were just more naive."
If this happened in 2023, scarcity marketing would be standard practice.
If the production capacity of Base 031 became known to the outside world, would Judith, the big dog owner, immediately agree?
The concern is that other countries may also have orders.
You'll understand when the time comes!
That evening, Su Lin indeed received a call from Uncle Liu.
The $2.5 billion from Saudi Arabia has been fully received and transferred to Lanxiang Military Industry's account.
After confirming with the finance department of Lanxiang Military Industry that the funds have been received...
Saudi Arabia issued a statement overnight:
"In order to strengthen technological cooperation with China and ensure global peace, stability and development."
The US will invest $5 billion to purchase the latest J-20 series fighter jets from China.
Further strengthen Saudi Arabia's defense capabilities!
This news immediately drew reactions from various countries in the Middle East.
Even F-14 fighter jets, in the carrier standoff, were forced to retreat in a 16 vs. 8 ratio.
Furthermore, information published on the official website of the Saudi Ministry of Defense shows that...
The J-20 series fighter jets being introduced this time will be the world's first fifth-generation fighter jet.
It possesses the characteristics of hypersonic speed and stealth cruise capability.
This poses a huge threat to the air defense systems of neighboring countries!
The US Department of Defense was bombarded with calls in the middle of the night.
"Refund!!! Refund!!!!! It was promised to be the world's number one fighter jet,"
Now it's been beaten so badly it's practically lost, and they're still selling it for 40 million US dollars.
Do you think I'm stupid?
"If the J-20s from the big dog company are delivered smoothly, then we will have to reconsider the F-16 purchase contract."
