Dai Zhou said: "Sir, can it be cheaper? As you know, one hundred helicopters is a lot. If it can be cheaper, I will talk to Your Majesty and see if we can add more!"
Judging from this situation, the imperial court will not spend too much money to buy these things.
Moreover, even if hundreds of helicopters are bought, they can only be placed in the palace, and they are rarely used on weekdays.
When there is no war, it will be scrapped directly.
Obviously it is not in the interest of the court.
"It's already very cheap. You should know how much one cost before. Moreover, a helicopter can save a lot of money. If people go to the border, it will be tiring all the way, and it will take a lot of time and food. If
If it’s a helicopter, it doesn’t exist. You can go there and come back the same day, and you can hit wherever you want without worrying about not being able to reach it.”
What he told was the truth.
Dai Zhou still said: "Let's make it cheaper, so that we can explain to His Majesty more easily."
This way of bargaining left Li Min speechless.
So, Li Min said: "You don't know something, come on, follow me upstairs and take a look and you will know!"
Once they go upstairs and take a look, they will know that the price he mentioned is actually not expensive.
After Li Min finished talking about the consequences, he walked to the front.
The three of them followed him upstairs.
At this time, ten helicopters were parked on the roof of the building.
Each one is very huge.
Li Min walked to one of them.
Said: "Look, here, here, and here!"
He pointed at the many holes in the helicopter.
Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.
"What's going on? What's going on with these locations?"
They didn't know what the locations pointed out by Li Min were for.
Li Min explained:
"These are places where weapons can be equipped. If the helicopter does not have weapons, its strength will be reduced by more than half. It will not be able to deter the enemy."
At that time, he asked Qin Qiong to take several helicopters to fly outside the city of Goguryeo and prevent them from going south, which scared the king of Goguryeo to death. He directly sealed the country and did not dare to come out.
In the end, it bought a lot of time for Silla.
That's because he has a lot of weapons and equipment.
But Li Shimin can't give him hot weapons.
Otherwise, the guy will have random thoughts again.
Cheng Yaojin asked: "Weapons? What kind of weapons are equipped?"
"Come on, come here again!" Li Min walked towards a room.
He drew a crossbow.
"This is my improved weapon. It can fire a hundred bows and arrows at a time, and these bows and arrows are very powerful and can penetrate the human body. And, look, here is a bigger one! You can even equip the helicopter with fireworks
, coupled with kerosene, the kerosene is poured on the enemy's castle, and the fireworks can ignite the opponent's city walls! This will achieve a quick victory. You can call it an armed helicopter!"
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling was quite shocked.
"I didn't expect that the helicopter could be used for this purpose! Before, I thought it could only be used as a recreational tool. Now it seems that if it can be used as a weapon, it must be very powerful!"
Dai Zhou then asked: "Sir, have you been studying this kind of thing all along?"
"If tools are used well, they can protect our country, but it depends on how you use them. What I can do is to maximize their effectiveness! Let them serve the Tang Dynasty. That's all!"
Cheng Yaojin said on the side: "Sir, you are indeed a great talent!"
Yes, Li Min's talent is indeed shocking.
Just a helicopter can imagine so many functions.
That is simply too powerful.
However, the problem is that the price has not dropped yet.
And Li Min said this to make a point.
That means the helicopters I sell are not expensive.
Really not expensive.
With so many functions, it’s pretty cheap for you.
"Look, I have so many weapons and equipment on my helicopter, and you still think my helicopter is expensive, then I have nothing to say! I don't have to sell it to you either! Do you understand?"
But Dai Zhou still clung to the demand.
"One hundred helicopters is not a lot! Sir! Can I get a discount for larger quantities?"
One hundred aircraft, how much is too much?
Li Min doesn't think so.
"If it's a thousand, I can consider giving you a 50% discount!" Li Min suddenly said.
Dai Zhou stopped talking now.
One thousand, how can that be possible?
Can Shengtang Group get it?
Even if it is available, the court is not willing to buy it.
It is probably difficult to get 50% off one hundred aircraft.
The two sides fell into a stalemate.
Cheng Yaojin laughed haha.
"Sir, if you are so powerful, there must be other ways, right? For example, you don't have to buy and rent, is that okay?"
Cheng Yaojin still understood Li Min.
Shengtang Group did something like this before, leasing and selling. It was also profitable!
In this way, it seems feasible, it just depends on how Li Min decides to do it.
In fact, Li Min also wanted to give Li Shimin these helicopters, but he couldn't give them for free, he had to pay something.
"Since you want it so much, I think we can rent it and sell it for one hundred thousand taels per day! Think about it." Li Min was really eloquent.
The three of them did the math right there.
One hundred thousand per aircraft per day. If the war continues for more than a hundred days, then this method does not feel very good.
Calculated based on the war time of 100 days, renting is really not as good as buying directly.
If you buy it, at least the stuff is still yours.
But what if it’s a quick fix?
Eliminate the opponent within one day.
So as long as ten million taels are needed, this business can be done.
Just going on an expedition alone would cost more than 10 million taels of money every day.
It would be great if it could be solved within one day.
But this is not something they can decide.
Even if it doesn't last for ten days, it will still be a discount on the original basis.
So Dai Zhou said, "How about we go back and discuss this matter with His Majesty first, and then come back and talk to Sir?"
Do we still need to discuss this matter?
Li Min smiled, but didn't say much more.
Cheng Yaojin also said: "Yes, we still have to discuss this matter with His Majesty. We dare not make a decision."
In fact, when Li Min said the price was 50 million, they all backed down.
Because it's too expensive.
But Li Shimin needed it so much, so they could only stay here, listen to what Li Min said, and then give feedback to Li Shimin.
In the end, the plan given by Li Min seemed feasible. They thought about going back and talking to Li Shimin about renting it.
Fang Xuanling said, "Sir, can we take this weapon away? Let Your Majesty also see how powerful it is?"
"Yes, you can even fly a helicopter over!"
Li Min expressed.
"I'll have someone equip it, and you can demonstrate it to him!"
