I, the super rich crown prince, will build the richest country

After learning that New China was going to sell F16A/B, Su-27 and Gripen fighters, these second-hand fighters, interested countries such as Babayang, Argentina, Romania, Croatia, and even Ermao, Alya, Siam, and Samba sent military representatives to New China.

Most of these countries are financially tight, or they are sanctioned, and can't buy good things. They can only look for them in the second-hand market, or they are here to pick up bargains.

Since they are called second-hand fighters, they must be cheaper than new ones.

Besides, the service years of New China's F16 and Su-27 are not very old, only more than ten years, and they are still usable. You know, Persia still uses the F14 Panda bought in the 1970s.

It's been more than 40 years.

In addition, New China's Gripen fighter has an even shorter service age, only about 10 years.

The person in charge of receiving this group of people and arms dealers is the new director of the Military Equipment Bureau, Ding Lingfeng, who was previously the deputy director. Now that Xiao Yunhai has stepped down as the director, he will take over.

March 12, Xinhan.

Chang'an, city center, a conference room of a military reception hotel.

"Director Ding, name a price. As long as the price is right, we will take all of your Gripen fighters from Samba."

A military representative from Samba said very proudly.

Although Samba seems to be full of drug dealers and has a relatively low per capita GDP, it is large in size.

The annual GDP ranks among the top 20 in the world.

With a large size, there is naturally money to buy.

"Sell it to us, and we will take all your Su-27s." The military representatives of Ermao would not agree to it. They also like this fighter, and facing the situation of falling out with the Russian bear, Ermao is now determined to increase national defense construction to cope with the pressure from the Russian bear.

"Director Ding, we Siam want 8 Gripen fighters." The Siamese representative said.

Ding Lingfeng was not surprised by the speech of the Siamese representative.

Siam is equipped with Gripen fighters. At the beginning, Xinhan bought it for more than a year, and then Siam also bought Gripen fighters. Now there are many Gripen fighters in the Siamese Air Force.

Siam is naturally clear about the performance of this fighter.

Because of this, Siam wants to get a bargain.

"Sell it to us..."

"Everyone, settle down."

Ding Lingfeng interrupted everyone: "It's useless for you to argue like this."

"Let's do an auction. If you are willing to buy, you can buy it if you think the price is acceptable. If you can't accept it, don't bid. This is fair and equitable, and no one will suffer. What do you think?"

The military representatives of several countries had different expressions when they heard this.

Some were gloomy, some were ugly, and some showed pride.

It sounds fair, but the auction means that they are likely to pay a high price to buy it. After all, when two tigers fight, the fisherman is the one who benefits. How can the buyerThere are so many people, so this is the only way.

To put it bluntly, Ding Lingfeng is using an open conspiracy to sell these weapons and equipment that Xinhan doesn't want at a higher price.

"If you don't object, then it's settled."

"Director Ding, let's start. Solve it as soon as possible so that some countries can give up as soon as possible." The representative of Samba country looked at Ermao, Siam and other countries who were competing with him with contempt.

"Hmph!"

The representative of Ermao snorted coldly.

The representative of Siam had a gloomy face.

The military representatives of other countries were watching the show. They had no interest in the Gripen. They were more interested in the F16 fighter.

After all, the F16 multi-purpose fighter is famous all over the world. It is the best single-engine multi-purpose fighter of the fourth generation.

Ding Lingfeng is happy that the three parties are not getting along, so that Xinhan can get the most benefits.

"OK!"

"Then I won't waste my words."

"8 Gripen fighters are sold in a package, with a starting price of 220 million US dollars, and each bid cannot be less than 1 million US dollars."

Hearing this price, everyone quickly calculated in their minds.

The conclusion is that each one is 27.5 million US dollars.

This price is not cheap, but it is not expensive either.

A new aircraft costs more than 70 million US dollars.

These 8 Gripen fighters of Xinhan have only been in service for 10 years. If they buy them and spend some money to ask Saab to upgrade the avionics, or replace some parts, they will be no less than the current Gripen fighters.

Besides, even if they are not upgraded, the performance and avionics of the Gripen fighter are not much different from the current ones, at least they are better than some old fighters.

After thinking whether it was worth it, the Siamese representative took the lead in bidding: "221 million US dollars."

For Siam, this price is worth buying back as a spare part.

After seeing Siam's bid, the Samba military representative was unwilling to be outdone: "We Samba bid 225 million."

He raised the price by 4 million US dollars in one breath, and did not forget to glance at Siam after saying that. The contemptuous look seemed to say, "What qualifications do you Siamese have to compare with us Samba."

The Siamese military representative was furious.

Just as he was about to bid, the Ermao military representative said: "230 million US dollars."

Good guy, another one-time increase of 5 million US dollars, which made the military representatives of other countries who did not participate in the auction secretly smack their lips.

"232 million US dollars."

"235 million."

"We Samba bid 2.4 US dollars. ” (cidi)

After a while, 20 million US dollars were added, and the price of each fighter jet has reached 30 million US dollars.

Ermao chose to give up. Among the three countries, Ermao had the worst economy, and because of the loss of Crimea and the eastern Donbass region, the economy declined seriously.

Although Siam is also an agricultural country, Siam’s tourism industry is strong and can bring a lot of economic benefits, andWith the market of Longguo backing it, Siamese fruits can be sold in Longguo market.

The Siamese military delegation discussed and decided to raise the price again.

"242 million US dollars."

"245 million US dollars."

"248 million US dollars."

"250 million US dollars."

Seeing that Samba was determined to win, the Siamese military delegation thought that there was no point in raising the price.

It was already almost 31.25 million US dollars per aircraft, and it would be better to buy a new one if it was increased.

However, it was decided to raise the price one last time, just in case Samba didn't follow?

"252 million US dollars."

The Siamese representative shouted, and then looked at Samba.

What disappointed him was that the Samba representative directly shouted "255 million US dollars."

Ding Lingfeng on the stage also saw that Siam did not seem to have the intention to raise the price, and could not help but shout: "255 million US dollars, is there a higher price?"

"255 million US dollars once."

"Twice."

"Pa~~" Ding Lingfeng patted the table and looked at the Samba representative with a smile: "Congratulations to the Samba military delegation, you have successfully won 8 Gripen fighters produced and developed by the Nordic Saab company."

"Pa pa~~" There was still warm applause at the scene.

Buying 8 Gripen fighters for 255 million US dollars is not a loss, but it is definitely not a bargain.

However, the Samba military representative felt it was worth it. After all, each aircraft would cost no more than 10 million US dollars for upgrading, which is 30 million US dollars less than buying a new aircraft. Do you think it is worth it?

Besides, except for Argentina, there are basically small countries around Samba. Gripen fighters are enough to deal with the entire South America.

"Next, we are going to bid for F16 fighters. This batch of models was purchased in 1995 and has been in service for nearly 20 years. During this period, it has been upgraded and maintained in good condition. There are 15 in total, which are sold in a package. The starting price is 290 million US dollars, and each increase is not less than 1 million US dollars."

Ding Lingfeng quickly introduced the condition of these 15 F16 fighters, and then announced the price.

Although it is an old model, the maintenance is indeed good. The engine has been replaced with a new engine once. The replaced engine still has about 1,500 hours left. If it is bought and maintained well, or if the flight time is 100 hours a year, it can also fly for 15 years. Of course, this is an ideal state. How long it can fly in the end depends on the maintenance.

"295 million."

The representative of Romanea bid.

As a small country, they can only buy second-hand phones. Before this, Romania basically did not buy new phones. They would buy third-hand or second-hand ones.

"We, Babayang, offer $300 million."

The military representative of Babayang made the offer.

Since the last batch of deliveries, especially after the millennium, their relationship with the United States has become a bit strained.

LetBabayang can no longer buy new fighters from the United States.

There is no other way, so we have to increase cooperation with Longguo on the JF-17 fighter project.

We hope that it can be developed earlier to make up for the lack of Babayang fighters.

But the Babayang military is more pro-American in nature, and it is common for them to choose to buy F16 fighters on behalf of the United States, and they also think that F16 is better than JF-17.

"300 million!"

"310 million US dollars."

"312 million US dollars."

"315 million US dollars."

"320 million US dollars."

Soon the price was raised to 320 million US dollars.

However, Babayang, Siam, and Ating did not give up.

"325 million."

"350 million."

"380 million US dollars."

Babayang gritted his teeth. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

After a while, the price was raised by another 60 million US dollars.

However, none of the three parties gave up.

Both Baba Yang and Ating were subject to US arms sanctions, and the latter was subject to more severe sanctions because of the Falkland Islands incident.

Although Siam was not sanctioned, the price of buying F16 was much more expensive than that of NATO countries.

And now the latest model of F16 has been sold for 80 to 90 million US dollars, and some are sold for hundreds of millions of US dollars.

And now this price has obviously not touched Siam's red line of not buying.

After another round of price increase.

The price has reached 4 US dollars.

"410 million US dollars."

"415 million."

"420 million."

Ating raised the price again.

“450 million US dollars.”

This time, Baba Yang did not intend to waste time with Siam and Atin, and directly raised the price by 20 million US dollars to intimidate the competitors.

Of the three companies, although Baba Yang is the poorest.

But there are a group of big dogs behind them to pay for it, so they can be arrogant.

And no one knows the performance of the F16 fighter better than them.

Seeing this situation, the Siamese military delegation chose to give up after considering it.

In the final analysis, Siam faces much less pressure, and it is a situation where it can buy or not.

After all, one aircraft has reached 30 million US dollars now.

With Siam’s withdrawal.

Only Baba Yang and Atin are left to compete.

"452 million."

"460 million"

"465 million"

"485 million." Seeing that Ating was still adding, Babayang representative added another 20 million US dollars.

The determination to buy made Ating's military representative hesitate. []

On the stage, Ding Lingfeng hoped that Babayang would be able to buy.

Selling to Ating would likely cause protests from Britain.

The relationship between Xinhan and Britain, from the founding of the country to the present,The relationship is very harmonious.

Under such circumstances, if Britain really protests, New China will have to carefully consider the diplomatic crisis caused.

After another round of bidding, the final price came to 520 million US dollars.

The bidder was still Baba Yang.

Representative Ating discussed for a while and finally chose to give up.

Seeing that Representative Ating gave up, Ding Lingfeng couldn't wait to say: "Congratulations to Representative Baba Yang for obtaining the ownership of 15 F16A/B fighters."

At this time, he was already very happy.

15 old models of F16A/B fighters were sold for 520 million US dollars, and the unit price reached 34.66 million US dollars. At the beginning, New China only spent 40 million US dollars to buy F16 fighters.

After 20 years of use, it can still sell so many, which is undoubtedly a huge profit.

No way, who told Babayang to be so obsessed with the American F16 fighter.

The third game is the Su-27.

9 aircraft were sold in a package, with a starting price of $120 million.

Aarya and Ermao competed for a while, and finally Ermao won the bid for $180 million.

The unit price was only $20 million.

Few people like the Russian fighter.

Moreover, most of the military representatives present today tend to favor Western countries.

Aarya thinks it is not worth spending too much money on a second-hand aircraft.

Besides, they have a good relationship with the Russians.

It is not impossible to buy advanced fighters.

Just when everyone thought the auction was over, Ding Lingfeng said, "Don't leave in a hurry. my country has 70 British-made Chivtan main battle tanks, model MK11, which have been in service for 28 years. The current condition is still good. Here are the photos taken on the spot and the internal situation. This batch of tanks is sold in a package for only 20 million US dollars. I wonder if you need any?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Lingfeng sold the Chivtan main battle tanks that the army disliked at a low price. Instead of leaving them to rot, it is better to sell them off.

I heard that 70 tanks only cost 20 million US dollars, which is an average of more than 280,000 US dollars.

This price is undoubtedly more than ten or twenty times cheaper than buying a new main battle tank.

Although the Chivtan main battle tank has been in service for nearly 30 years, it is at least a third-generation main battle tank.

It is still attractive to some countries.

"We want it from Babayang."

Before anyone else could speak, the military representative of Babayang spoke first.

In the eyes of the Babayang representative, it is worth it to buy 70 third-generation tanks for 20 million US dollars, and they are third-generation tanks.

The maintenance is also better.

As for Babayang's decision to buy second-hand tanks, it is very simple, because they are poor.

Secondly, facing the mortal enemy Baixiang, the two countries have a large area of ​​plains bordering each other.

In this case, large-scale ground armored forces must be guaranteed.

And there are more than 600 Type 59 tanks in Babayang now.Tanks.

Even the first generation of tanks still have so many, you can imagine how much tanks are lacking for Babayang.

It is absolutely worthwhile to buy 70 tanks with 20 million US dollars.

Some people who are interested in buying showed annoyance on their faces, and were annoyed that they didn't express their opinions quickly, so that they could buy these high-quality and low-priced tanks.

The transaction contract was signed on the same day.

In the evening, Ding Lingfeng reported the situation to Xiao Yunhai.

"Your Highness, 9 Su-27s sold for $180 million, 15 F16s sold for $485 million, 8 Gripen fighters sold for $255 million, and 70 Chivtan main battle tanks were also sold for $20 million. This batch of arms sold for a total of $940 million."

"Oh? Really!" Xiao Yunhai was overjoyed. This was beyond his expectations. He thought it would be enough to sell for $600-700 million, but he didn't expect it to sell for $9.4.

"It seems that there are still many poor countries in this world."

Ding Lingfeng; "......"

Awkward smile.

I don't know how to respond.

"Okay, it's better to sell them all, so as to avoid the trouble of logistics maintenance."

Xiao Yunhai: "When do you plan to start the bidding for the purchase of arms?"

"Your Highness, it will start the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm~~"

Xiao Yunhai nodded slightly.

"When the time comes, you will report all the quotations from all parties and the military's inclinations, and I will review them."

He intervened mainly to facilitate the cooperation with the military industry company to prevent the military from buying randomly for performance and making it a multinational product.

"Okay.".
