Chapter 1290: Transporting money until your eyes are dizzy
Li Wenjun secretly laughed: It’s not up to us to decide whether it works or not?
I don't believe you African savages dare to mess around.
Tao Guangming suddenly realized: Damn, just say it. I always felt that something was missing just now. It turns out that the positioning, navigation and communicator were not even installed.
Li Wenjun and the others hung up the banner for this reason. They must have told them in advance that the one hanging the banner was a prototype and no communication was needed.
The general took a deep breath and said, "Ten million dollars is too expensive. Six million."
Yang Shouzhuo shook his head and said expressionlessly: "The cost is there. You get what you pay for. You are also people who have flown helicopters from China. Our advantages are obvious. This fighter has the ability to fly at night compared to helicopters today."
It is one of the best in terms of mileage. Its transportation capacity and battery life are also among the best, making it the most suitable for raids."
The general gritted his teeth: "Seven million, we want three. Delivery within the year."
Yang Shouzhuo glanced at Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun nodded slightly.
Yang Shouzhuo said: "Eight and a half million. We will also train pilots for you. This cost must be taken into account."
The general said: "Eight million and one million. No more."
Yang Shouzhuo: "8.45 million. I'm too lazy to talk about it."
The general sighed: "Eight million and four hundred thousand. But can you send us a large drone. As for the cost, can you use 90% gold and 10% diamonds?"
Yang Shouzhuo frowned.
Li Wenjun said that China will soon achieve mass production of artificial diamonds. Diamonds will become worthless.
Diamonds cannot be collected unless absolutely necessary.
Yang Shouzhuo said: "We don't want diamonds, so we can't estimate it accurately. We just want gold. We need to pay the full price of this one first, and a 50% deposit for the other two."
Tao Guangming was stunned for a moment when he heard this: Damn it, these people's bargaining is just like buying vegetables at the wet market. Things worth hundreds or tens of millions are priced at ten thousand or ten thousand.
And isn’t this general stupid? Each of our large drones only costs more than 10,000 yuan.
The general muttered: "Everyone else likes our diamonds, but you Chinese only like gold. It's really strange."
Then the next step is to sign the contract and pay the gold.
Li Wenjun called the port.
Then a "Wenjun Industrial" civilian helicopter flew over again, dropped off a few people and a bunch of equipment, and carried away some of the gold.
Tao Guangming thought to himself: There was a big box on the container ship just now. It turns out that they also transported a civilian helicopter.
The general asked: "When will this unit be installed?"
Li Wenjun replied: "Three days."
The people who just came down here are divided into two groups. One group of technicians has already started installing equipment and welding weapon mounting brackets, and the other group is guarding the gold.
The recent international gold price is about US$370 per ounce.
Twenty million dollars worth of gold would have to be transported by plane several times.
The civilian helicopter over there flew back again and loaded a plane full of gold.
When the helicopter flew back for the third time, the general finally couldn't help but ask: "How much does this civilian one cost?"
Tao Guangming sighed: Li Wenjun's product demonstrations never fail.
Li Wenjun said: "This is our 'Dragonfly 1' large civilian helicopter, priced at 5 million U.S. dollars. We also have a medium-sized 'Dragonfly 2' and a small 'Dragonfly 3' priced at 400 U.S. dollars respectively.
Ten thousand and three million US dollars."
The general knew in his heart that this thing was useful, but he wanted to lower the price, so he said: "It's just good-looking, but of no use. And it's so expensive."
Li Wenjun said: "This is said to be for civilian use, but it can also be used for battlefield communications, reconnaissance patrols, logistics support, battlefield rescue, and air command; it is usually used for short-distance transportation, aerial photography, geological exploration, hoisting equipment, and spraying pesticides.
Forest fire prevention, medical and disaster relief, etc. It all depends on your needs. Our civilian aircraft sell better than military aircraft, so you don’t have to worry about selling them.”
It is obviously not cost-effective to buy all combat helicopters.
The general hesitated for a long time before saying: "Two units, eight million. Gold delivered."
Li Wenjun said: "Nine million, two units. One full payment, one with a 50% deposit, delivered at the same time as the combat helicopter. But I have an additional condition."
The general frowned: "What other conditions are there?"
Li Wenjun said: "In the future, no matter whether we transport any goods from Cape Town through South Africa to or from any surrounding country, you will have to have the military escort it, and no one else can stop it. This must be written in the agreement."
The general pursed his lips: This is definitely not possible. What kind of strange weapons are transported to neighboring countries, and they have to pass through their ground. Isn't that putting them on the fire?
Li Wenjun said: "If it is something sensitive, such as weapons, we will report it in advance for your consent and absolutely guarantee not to infringe on your country's security."
The general shook his head: "This won't work."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Military helicopters need to be inspected and maintained once a year. This must be completed by my people."
The general said: "The agreement stipulates free maintenance."
Li Wenjun said: "Yes. But the maintenance is only repairs, such as applying lubricating oil and tightening screws. Some consumables are only produced by us and need to be replaced every few years, so they are not included in the scope of maintenance. For example, propeller blades."
The general cursed in his heart: The Chinese are too treacherous and have dug a hole. I gave them all my damn money, how can I still do it?
Li Wenjun said: "You don't have to be so embarrassed. When the time comes for the military escort, we will not let you work in vain, and will pay for it. In fact, we will borrow your people and your ground to pass by. And if you cooperate,
, I won’t charge you for replacing some parts at that time.”
The general thought about it, and it seemed that it was not a bad idea.
Besides, if there were any prohibited items, he would just not let them pass.
The general said: "Okay."
Then the two men went in to sign the contract and came out carrying several boxes of gold.
Tao Guangming was dumbfounded: It was indeed a place where gold was produced. He could easily pull out a pile of gold.
Li Wenjun seemed to have understood his doubts and said: "Cape Town is the economic center of South Africa, and the treasury is now guarded by the military."
The main reason is that I am afraid that all the white banks will be taken away, so I can only operate unconventionally.
Moreover, the army was previously completely controlled by white people, so advanced weapons had been shipped away.
Otherwise, the general wouldn't be in such a hurry to buy something.
Tao Guangming suddenly understood why Li Wenjun and Yang Shouzhuo chose to come at this time, and why they came to Cape Town as their first stop.
The civilian plane just now came back. The pilot was a little confused when he saw how many planes were being transported here and there. He would have known that he would have transported more cargo on the previous trip.
Yang Shouzhuo waved to him, motioning for him to come down and rest, and then he went up.
A thought flashed through Tao Guangming's mind: counting money until his hands cramp, transporting money until stars appear in his eyes.
