I built an armada.

Chapter 509: Seller's Market, the Navy's Superior Position

On the other side, an integrated military factory.

As soon as he returned here, Su Dingping dived into the laboratory, and in the blink of an eye he appeared in the military industry forging space.

He was extremely happy when he saw that the third-generation wind tunnel test equipment in the military factory in the aviation area had been completed and was basically ready for use.

He was not afraid to study the equipment in the wind tunnel test center from scratch, but he was afraid that its core technology could not be analyzed.

As long as it can be analyzed, then everything is not a problem, it just takes a little more time.

Early the next morning.

A group of representatives from various tribes left the reception hotel in a special car and headed for the designated location.

A military dock of the Northern Fleet.

The special car carrying the representatives arrived here and stopped steadily.

The car door opened, and all the members of the delegation got out of the car. They gathered in groups of three or five and talked, much like students who gathered together to review answers after their final exams.

The tribes of the Western Alliance gathered together, led by Allen of the Eagle Tribe, while the tribes of the Northern Alliance, led by the White Bear Tribe, were recorded together, and the remaining tribes from the third world each huddled together for warmth.

At this time, Zhang Zhaoxin and Secretary Wang De came over side by side, talking and laughing, and it was obvious that they were in a very good mood.

The two of them were responsible for the reception of this military trade, and they had been a very good partner at the last auction.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I was delayed by something just now."

Zhang Zhaoxin said this with a smile, without any apology in his expression.

The faces of many tribal representatives turned unhappy, as if they were being neglected.

Coming here is already a courtesy to the Longxia tribe, but you are still damn late. Do you still take them seriously?
So if I come next time, will I be stood up?

Ignoring the expressions of the tribal representatives, Zhang Zhaoxin smiled casually and continued speaking.

"Many of you are familiar to me now. It's nice to meet you."

“To those representatives who are meeting for the first time, I am also very happy to meet you.”

"Welcome to the Longxia tribe."

As soon as the words fell, someone from the Western Alliance tribe became impatient and urged: "Okay, we've already greeted you, no need to waste time. We're here to buy warships, not to reminisce about the past."

"When will you take us to see the warship?"

Zhang Zhaoxin didn't want to give in to the other party and directly confronted him: "When the time comes, I will naturally take you to see it. If you have something urgent to do, you can leave early. No one of us will stop you."

"Don't you know the saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"

At this point, he looked at the others and said, "You guys aren't as anxious as he is, are you?"

Many representatives of the Western tribes had gloomy faces and did not answer.

Elias, the representative of the Laxi tribe, smiled and said, "Colonel Zhang, I'm not in a hurry. At most, I can have a meal here. Your Longxia food is very delicious. Once you eat it, you will never forget it."

The Laxi tribe had previously purchased three 051C ships, which instantly raised the strength of its tribal navy to a whole new level. In all the previous naval battles, the Ertu tribe was directly defeated and fled in panic. The previous arrogance was no longer there.

After seeing the powerful force of 051C, they naturally want to buy more advanced warships.

They also received relevant intelligence that the Ertu tribe had sent people to the western tribes to discuss the purchase of warships, obviously wanting to regain the upper hand in future naval battles.

However, considering the price, the Laxi tribe still felt a pang of pain.

Aziz, the representative of the Shay tribe, also stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? When old friends meet, they should greet each other and exchange pleasantries. It's polite, don't you understand?"

Bode Edin, a representative of the Tesha tribe, also said: "That's right, good things never come late. We all believe that what comes next is the highlight."

Taking this opportunity to mock the Western tribes, the White Bear Tribe representative Daluft sneered and said, "Hey, isn't this the guy from the Kangaroo Tribe? That's right, it's Carl Bob. Your master isn't in a hurry, so why are you, a eunuch, in such a hurry to jump out? Are you in a hurry to go back and hang yourself?"

Hearing this, Carl Bob, the representative of the Kangaroo Tribe, became so angry that his face turned blue. He stared at Dalfut with fiery eyes, but did not dare to say anything more.

So many tribal representatives around him looked at him with unfriendly eyes, and he was really worried that these representatives would gang up on him.

It was his first time participating in the Longxia tribe’s warship sales event. He had not yet adjusted to his current identity and was still a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop talking. Mr. Carl Bob is a little impatient, but he has no bad intentions to disrupt the order of the sales site."

Stuart from the British Tribe stood up at this time and said with a smile, "Colonel Zhang, please continue. No one will interrupt you next time."

Zhang Zhaoxin nodded expressionlessly, but a smile appeared in his heart.

This is the territory of the Longxia tribe and also the home ground of the Longxia Navy, so naturally the home ground has the final say.

"Okay, everyone follow me."

Under the leadership of Zhang Zhaoxin, everyone came to the dock and stood in front of a warship.

"I guess you have done some related intelligence work before you came here. If you don't know the details, it's okay. I will introduce it to you today."

"It is the Type 052B, a modernized guided missile destroyer with superior combat capabilities in all aspects than the Type 051C. It has extremely powerful firepower output, electronic warfare, anti-submarine, and air strike capabilities."

"Its various combat data..."

Zhang Zhaoxin introduced incessantly. When it came to combat data, the tribal representatives on the scene and the military experts who followed him pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss any details or parameters.

But Zhang Zhaoxin's voice suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and then the subject suddenly changed.

"Well, before the introductions, I need to reveal a piece of news to you."

"That is the Type 052B. We only have this one left. It will retain its serial number forever as a commemoration and will not be sold to anyone."

"The rest have been bought by the relevant tribes."

The representative of the Tesha tribe, Bird Edin, who was present at the scene, had a smug smile on his face, but said nothing.

I couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that I acted quickly, otherwise I don't know when I would have gotten there.

Aziz, the representative of the Shayi tribe, was also secretly excited. He thought he had made the right choice by purchasing a complete aircraft carrier fleet from the Longxia tribe.

With such powerful combat capability, those little bullies in the central region who want to commit evil acts may have to consider their own strengths.

"Fuck, why is there only this last one left? Aren't you guys keeping us on suspense?"

"How are we supposed to divide up a warship like this? Are you planning to hold another auction? Aren't you going too far?"

"That's right. There is only one warship left. How can you sell it to the public?"

"If you had known this would happen, you would have just made the information public so that we wouldn't have made a wasted trip." Upon hearing this, the representatives immediately became anxious and expressed their dissatisfaction one by one.

The auction scene really left such a deep impression on them. They made a fuss for a long time, but in the end the item was snatched away by an oil-rich tribe from the central region. Just thinking about it made them very angry.

Many of them even planned to just pay for the goods and leave.

In this way, they will be able to understand the various performance aspects of the Longxia Navy warships earlier, study their advantages and disadvantages, and then find corresponding cracking methods.

Faced with everyone's questioning, Zhang Zhaoxin did not get angry. Instead, he pressed his hands together. Only after everyone quieted down did he speak again.

"Everyone, rest assured, we will not auction the warships, because the number of these warships to be delivered will definitely not be small. Of course, we will not deliver them to you on the spot."

"You have to pay first!"

"That is to say, we have to collect the money first, and then build the warship according to the amount of money you pay. It will be your exclusive customized model."

"So you don't have to worry about leaks and can use it with confidence."

After hearing this, the tribal representatives were all stunned. They could never have imagined that the Longxia tribe would play such a trick.

But why does it seem so familiar?
The representatives of the Eagle Tribe and the White Bear Tribe showed embarrassment on their faces.

They used to do this kind of thing often.

Unexpectedly, I experienced the same feeling today, and it cost me money.

The seller's market is so fucking cruel!
Dalfut, the representative of the White Bear Tribe, and Allen, the representative of the Eagle Tribe, looked at each other almost subconsciously, and could see the helplessness on each other's faces.

This kind of thing used to be their exclusive domain, but I didn’t expect that the Longxia Navy could rely on its own strength to force its way into this group.

And it seems that they are doing better than them, and can prepare dishes according to the customer's needs.

I have to say that the people of Longxia have really strong learning abilities.

They all had to admit defeat!

Although helpless and dissatisfied, the two did not speak out in opposition.

After all, the Longxia Navy has this strength, and they can only admit it.

After all, they came here with a purpose, which was to steal some warships from the Longxia tribe and then study them carefully. Once they have a thorough understanding of them, they will be able to take control of the Longxia navy.

It's not necessary to buy a fleet and add it directly to the navy of our tribe.

Of course, if the plan is a little bigger, it would be a good choice to send a few ships back to form a blue fleet to specifically train the naval combat capabilities of their tribal navy.

Besides, looking around the world, only the Longxia tribe has this type of warship.

They are now asking for help, and they cannot object and offend the Longxia tribe. If they end up simply refusing to sell, wouldn’t their trip be in vain?
You might go back empty-handed and even be punished, which is not worth it.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, they endured this grievance!
Compared with their forbearance, representatives of other tribes were very anxious.

They are not as wealthy as the White Bear Tribe and the Eagle Tribe, and are not used to this way of doing things.

Damn it.

If we transfer the money first and you take your time in building it, then we won’t be able to use it until the end of time?
Are you still following the rules?
What should we do if we give the money and then there is no follow-up?
If it is delayed for ten or eight years, wouldn’t it be too late?

By that time, other people's warships will have been updated, and your warships have not yet been launched, so what's the point?

Some representatives immediately raised objections.

"Colonel Zhang, aren't you too overbearing in your Longxia tribe's actions? You asked us to pay first, but what if you just find an excuse and refuse to give us the warships?"

"That's right! You can't do this. We've always paid for the goods, but now you're doing this, isn't that a mess? You can't do this."

"No one with a normal mind would accept your condition. It's too unreasonable."

"Fuck, we absolutely do not accept such unequal conditions. We are here to pay for the goods, not to pay for futures."

"Colonel Zhang, we know that your Longxia Navy has developed rapidly and has become one of the great powers, but you can't bully others by taking advantage of your power. You are going too far."

"You have to consider us buyers too. This is not just a few million dollars, but hundreds of millions. It's too huge. We can't afford this kind of loss."

"Colonel Zhang, you must reconsider. We have paid the money and cannot go back on our word, but reality is changing fast."

The tribal representatives were very emotional and their words became increasingly harsh, but Colonel Zhang just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

He had long anticipated the reactions of these tribes.

"Everyone, don't be so anxious."

"Don't you want to know why we asked you to pay first and wait for the goods?"

Zhang Zhaoxin spoke slowly and his voice was very loud and penetrating!

Upon hearing this, all the tribal representatives immediately quieted down, staring at Zhang Zhaoxin with wide eyes, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"We are using your money to do your business."

"Does everyone understand?"

Zhang Zhaoxin's words almost made the tribal representatives so angry that they vomited blood and they wanted to overturn the table.

Unfortunately, they didn't have those things, and they all became anxious.

"Colonel Zhang! You are being unreasonable. You are bullying us by taking advantage of your strength!"

"You are acting like a despicable power and you will not be respected."

"We can't accept this, you are insulting us!"

The representatives wanted to drown Zhang Zhaoxin with their spit.

"Okay, I won't joke with you guys anymore."

Zhang Zhaoxin smiled casually and pressed his hand. After everyone quieted down, he explained, "Let me tell you, isn't this how you bought military equipment before? You paid the deposit first, and then paid the balance and received the goods. Is that right?"

All the tribal representatives nodded in agreement.

They understand this very well and know that this is the common rule.

Moreover, the deposit was quite a large amount, leaving them no room for regret.

Zhang Zhaoxin then asked, "What did you buy before? Think carefully, how many of them were first-hand goods?"
