In fact, Gao Shaoyi is here to do business. Since the arsenal has been established, if there is no business, it will definitely not be able to persist. Gao Shaoyi's arsenal adopts a step-by-step strategy. The entire factory is divided into two parts. One part produces the current world products. The mainstream weapons in the world, and the other part produces the weapons of the Suppression Army. Of course, the weapons of the Suppression Army cannot be sold externally, so who should the mainstream weapons in the world be sold to? Naturally, it is the army of the Daqian Empire.
All major Western powers have their own arsenals. No matter what price you offer, it cannot be lower than others' costs. Therefore, if we want to win other people's orders, we do not have the ability for the time being, let alone new ones. The factory has just been established, and the costs in all aspects have not yet been reduced. Therefore, compared with Western arsenals, our factory is completely uncompetitive.
But after a period of research, they found a huge customer, which is the army of the Daqian Empire. Many soldiers are still using swords, guns and clubs. This can be said to be the most backward weapon in the world. If they can After securing this order, the factory was able to survive the first phase.
Gao Shaoyi respects business principles very much. Although he can afford to support the factory by taking money from the Zhenlu Army, and he can also take out the weapons exchanged by the system in the future and let the factory reverse production, but this is not in line with business principles, so Gao Shaoyi is still prepared to let him establish his own competitiveness.
Of course, it is okay to give some help at the beginning. According to the information Gao Shaoyi received, the Ministry of War's weapons procurement plan for next year has been released, with a total amount of up to 19 million silver coins. Of course, it won't actually cost that much money, at most That is about ten million silver coins, and the rest is the private money of these gentlemen.
Gao Shaoyi now has a strong army and will not be afraid of offending them. Others dare not touch this piece of cake. Of course Gao Shaoyi is fearless. As long as he gets this order, Gao Shaoyi can save the emperor at least five million silver coins, and he can also Letting our arsenal survive and also get development funds is not a good thing for those gentlemen, but for Gao Shaoyi and the emperor, this is definitely a win-win situation.
When Gao Shaoyi said this, several people present also had different expressions. The emperor was no longer curious, and finally knew what Gao Shaoyi was doing. This boy was indeed a master who was unprofitable and could not afford to be early. On the surface, he gave it to him He has 10% dividend rights, but he hopes to win orders from the court through himself.
As for Prince Ding, he started to make quick calculations in his mind. We don’t need to worry about the weapons and equipment of the Suppression Army. They will definitely not take them out. But even if they are the mainstream weapons in the world, we can buy them from this factory. It was also much cheaper than buying it from foreigners, and could at least save the court several million silver coins.
The most important thing is that the distance here is relatively close, including all kinds of consumables. We can buy them at any time and in batches throughout the year. This does not need to spend a large amount of money directly, which can greatly alleviate the current situation. In the financial crisis of the imperial court, the money saved can also be used in other places.
As for Prince Kang, his face is not good. If Gao Shaoyi's plan is really followed, then many of his people will not be able to reap the benefits. In the past, large military purchases have always been a pocket for them. If there is less
With this amount of money, many people under Prince Kang would not be able to live. For the three people present, Prince Kang was probably the least willing to agree to this plan.
Of course, Prince Kang will not stand up and talk nonsense. Now it is obvious that the two of them have agreed. Several million silver coins sounds like a lot, but if he is exposed because of this matter, it will be a bit more gain than loss.
What's more, the people who robbed the food were government troops, and the Prince of Pingnan County, who was in the limelight recently, and Prince Kang and the others were not righteous, so they really had no way to refute.
"This is the purchase price compiled by Wei Chen. Please take a look at it. If it is our own army, we can reduce this price by ten percent. Of course, the power to set the purchase price of the armies of other governors is in the hands of the emperor.
."
Gao Shaoyi took out the second sugar-coated bullet. The emperor and the governors and governors of various places were in a state of opposition. This in itself was no secret. The land directly controlled by the royal family was currently less than one-half of the country, so the governors and governors of various places were also the imperial court.
If the emperor can grasp this power, it will also serve as a warning to governors and governors everywhere.
At present, warlords everywhere are purchasing arms directly from foreign countries, but Gao Shaoyi is also confident. We have no way to bring weapons to the West to compete with Western arms dealers, but if we purchase them locally, our weapons prices are still very competitive.
, the most important thing is that we are very familiar with the principles of this land, so if Western arms dealers compete with us on this land, I am afraid they will not be able to do so.
Gao Shaoyi is not ambitious, and the goals he has set for the arsenal are not high. If we take over all the local merchants within two years, we have already achieved the primary goal. Don't always think about going global. Everyone has already done that.
After so many years of development, even if we have the help of the system, we cannot directly occupy other people's markets. We must first understand our own market thoroughly, and then slowly penetrate it. One step at a time is much safer than running.
.
"You have calculated everything, and you also think that I will not reject you, because I have indeed received great benefits from your proposal."
The emperor said with a smile, and Gao Shaoyi's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he had made a mistake in his calculations today. Maybe he would not get a perfect answer when he left here.
"Wei Chen thinks that Prince Pingnan's proposal is good. It can save the court at least five million silver coins every year. We don't need to be controlled by Western countries. In the past, when the arms sales plan was signed, Western countries would use the agreement to force us to admit some unfair things.
Equality treaty, this is not fair to us."
Prince Ding knows his brother too well. If you say this, you must not agree with this plan. However, this plan will be of great benefit to the Daqian Empire. If you change this plan because of your temporary preferences, then what will happen in the future?
