1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3205
Generally speaking, the weapons and equipment sold by high-ranking Haihan officials are often expensive high-end goods, and sometimes they are even new gadgets that have not yet been widely installed in the Haihan army.

After all, it is more profitable to sell high-end goods, and some new equipment also needs to find some trial users to verify its combat performance and explore reliable tactics.

And for many buyers who admire Haihan Ordnance Industry, this is also one of the few opportunities for them to purchase advanced equipment.

Haihan's arms sales business has always been a seller's market, and the trading rules are basically formulated by Haihan.

Haihan has strict restrictions on the export of weapons. Usually, no matter how much money a buyer brings to Sanya to buy, the equipment that can be purchased is only a small number of old models.Even so, the number of purchases will still be limited, and buyers can't buy as much as they want, and there won't be much room for bargaining.

And the few rights that buyers have is that they can decide for themselves whether to "buy" or "not to buy", that's all.

The main equipment that Qiao Zhiya wants to sell today are several types of artillery that have never been allowed to be sold to the outside world in the past, and there are many models that have attracted the eyes of various countries for a long time.

And Qiao Zhiya also gave a very straightforward explanation for this: "Our country's current military technology has been able to produce artillery with stronger performance, so it is time to cancel the arms sales restrictions on these old models."

In this way, the artillery included in the arms sales list does not seem to be the most advanced model of Haihan, but for other countries, such heavy weapons are still enough to raise their own military strength to a higher level.

Of course, to achieve such a goal, the premise is that you can buy enough quantities.

If you only buy one or two cannons, the effect will be extremely limited, and they can only be placed on the walls of the capital as decorations.

Although Haihan has put these advanced weapons on the shelves, the total supply is still limited, and it is impossible to meet the procurement needs of all countries at the same time. It is destined that only a few countries can achieve a rapid increase in force.

This is also a situation that Haihan intentionally created. The purpose is of course to make another sales technique come in handy, that is, bidding.

In the introduction manual that the envoys received, in addition to introducing the various performance parameters of the equipment, the quantity of the equipment sold to the outside world and its sales base price were marked in red letters.

For a long time, limited quantities and bidding have been extremely effective means of promotion in the arms sales process.Even those countries that believe that their own weapons and equipment are sufficient must seriously consider the military pressure that neighboring countries will bring to their own countries after purchasing more advanced equipment.

For those countries that are already engaged in an arms race with other countries, it is not enough to just buy new weapons themselves, and at the same time try to prevent competitors from purchasing new weapons.It is undoubtedly the most immediate way to quote a high price in the bidding process and let the opponent buy nothing.

After everyone studied the manual, someone finally raised a question: "My lords, these equipment are all good things, but can I go back and discuss with my colleagues before making a purchase decision?"

This question is undoubtedly the voice of most of the envoys present. It would be too hasty to decide whether to buy or not immediately after reading the manual.

Besides, almost all of them are civil servants. Although they have the authority to place orders, they still have to communicate with the military attache in the mission before making a decision on what to buy and how much to buy.

Qiao Zhiya explained: "Everyone, don't worry, today's meeting is just to introduce weapons and equipment, and there is no need to make a purchase decision immediately. The military exercise in a few days will arrange the combat performance of related weapons. After you have seen the actual performance, you will make a decision. Late."

Schneider added: "For buyers whose total order amount reaches a certain standard, our country will also provide some special discounts, such as interest-free installment payment, additional free ammunition, free artillery training courses, and related maintenance services. Offers Seats are limited, first come first served."

These preferential conditions are not new, and have appeared many times in past arms sales. The purpose is nothing more than to encourage more purchases and earlier purchases.

But as a buyer, it is difficult to resist the temptation of these preferential conditions.According to past experience, if all kinds of discounts can be taken together, the cost saved is almost equivalent to a [-]% discount.

The envoys of Champa were the first to get up and leave, obviously planning to rush back to discuss with their military attache as soon as possible.

As soon as he left, Annan's envoys couldn't sit still, and they also took their leave and left.

Annan's military strength is far above Champa, and he also planned to annex Champa in his early years.However, Champa was duly protected by Haihan and became a vassal state of Haihan, so it was able to escape the catastrophe.

And the arms race between Annan and Champa that lasted for more than [-] years began. Every time Haihan organized an open arms sale, the two countries would inevitably have to compete.

With similar thoughts, there are naturally two groups of people from North Korea.

Both Pu Beixiu and Jin Shangjiu are veterans in the diplomatic arena, and they are very clear about the significance of purchasing these weapons and equipment, not only to enhance their own military strength, but also to show their loyalty to Haihan.

It's just that for North Korea's economic level, every large arms purchase will empty the national treasury savings.And now that the country is divided into two, taxes are added to five, and the money that can be used for military purchases is even more stretched.

But even so, they will still bite the bullet and buy a fortune, and will not let the other party easily take the initiative.

The envoys from various countries had their own thoughts, and soon dispersed one after another.

Qiao Zhiya didn't expect that these envoys didn't ask any technical questions, so he asked Schneider: "Is this the same atmosphere in the arms sales presided over by Lao Bai in the past?"

Schneider knew what he wanted to ask, and explained with a smile: "Our country's arms sales have a very good international reputation, so they don't have to worry about the wrong version of the goods, or problems with the delivery of the money and goods. After seeing the physical display later, they will There will be a queue to bid.”

Qiao Zhiya laughed and said, "Thankfully, I prepared a lot of materials for this matter a few days ago, but none of them came in handy."

Schneider said: "That's not necessarily the case. These envoys can't ask any professional questions. When the real objects are displayed in a few days, they will definitely bring their own country's military attaches to attend. Then there will be some professional questions for you to answer. .”

Qiao Zhiya said: "Then when will we meet the next batch of clients?"

Schneider said: "There is no rush. If there are benefits, of course we should take care of our allies first, and the equipment to be sold to other countries is different. After a few days, the news of our open arms sales will spread, and people will naturally come to ask."
