Chapter 264 Hello, it’s half past eight
Zheng Yucun never expected that Chen Chen would say that.

He thought Chen Chen wanted to raise the price and deliberately make things difficult for Salaman, so he hesitated.

It turns out that even the cunning Mr. Chen was confused.

Chen Chen's previous offer was already considered high. After all, twenty or thirty small goals were no joke.

As a result, Salaman directly understood it as the price of one phase, rather than the price of the total package.

Make sense.

The domestic economy is not bad, and Chen Chen and Zheng Yucun are also people who have seen money.

Not that poor!

Maybe because they got here, no matter what they did, they always felt like there was a circle of poverty buff surrounding their heads.

Salaman didn't know how poor they were, and they didn't know how rich Salaman was.

Just as Chen Chen was hesitating.

Another young man wearing a turban suddenly spoke up and said to Salaman in perfect English: "Sir, should we consider investing in aerospace later?"

Chen Chen fixed his eyes on the young man.

Judging from his age and the way he talks, he should be the legendary pro-American faction.

There are complex factions among the local tyrants.

These young people with a Western education background are naturally pro-American.

obviously.

This young man asked Salaman to reconsider in front of Chen Chen, definitely not for economic purposes.

Two or three billion is probably just the annual food expenses for those little pets at the door.

The rich don’t care.

What they care about is the signals behind the investment.

Young people are afraid that the huge investments made by wealthy individuals in Tokyo University’s commercial aerospace industry will send a bad message to the Americans.

Dissuading Salaman in front of Chen Chen also meant that he was declaring the position of different factions in the country.

These words were meant for Chen Chen to hear.

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man carefully: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Salaman introduced him first: "His name is Faisal, my half brother, and also a prince."

There are princes everywhere here. In Chen Chen's eyes, those princes without real power are no different from ordinary workers. He did not treat Salaman with the same standards as Faisal.

Chen Chen could completely hear the hidden meaning in Faisal's words.

Faisal advised Salman to think twice, saying it was all about position and had nothing to do with interests.

But he still pretended to be confused and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Sir, it seems that you have doubts about investing in commercial spaceflight?"

"Yes, I am not optimistic about the prospects of commercial space travel." Faisal said, "The technology industry requires high investment. Although we are rich, money does not fall from the sky. We must have a clear mind to ensure our depreciation."

Zheng Yucun looked at the little prince and talked.

All I hear is balabalabala.

Pure bullshit.

Yes, your family’s money did not fall from the sky.

But it came out from underground.

Those things cost nothing.

It's obviously because you're afraid of angering your godfather and being sanctioned by the Eagle Sauce.

What's the point of talking about investment output, depreciation and appreciation in this confusing situation?

If you care so much about these things.

Should we release the animals in the front yard first?
Chen Chen had the same idea, but he didn't say it so bluntly: "Since you care so much about returns, you can invest in Nasdaq."

Faisal nodded: "We do prefer the market over there."

"I understand, their market is indeed strong." Chen Chen gave an example. "Let's go back 36 years, when the Nasdaq was more than points."

Everyone was slightly stunned.

No one knows why Chen Chen started counting from 1988.

Followed by.

He said: "In 1988, your old king spent 35 billion on missiles from us. If this 35 billion was put on NASDAQ, it would have multiplied 60 times, and you would have made a profit of billion."

"I spent 35 billion to buy a bunch of iron lumps, and they are not even famous brands. Of course, they will not retain their value."

"If you had used the 35 billion to buy luxury goods and out-of-print watches, you would still be making money now."

"That way, when Samuel L. Paul annexed Kuwait and knocked on your door, you could point to your watch and say, 'Hello, it's half past eight.'"

"........."

Faisal was suddenly speechless and felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

Salaman, however, had a very satisfied expression.

What Chen Chen just said is the work logic that Salaman has implemented in his position over the past few years.

Therefore, even if there are obstructions from different factions in the country, they often create obstacles.

He was also determined to buy weapons from the University of Tokyo.

As for Chen Chen's commercial space program, Salaman believes the same logic applies. The 30 billion yuan investment in Chen Chen is not for profit.

It is to prevent yourself from falling behind.

just in case.

In the future, human technology will be able to land on Mars, the Moon, and even further places. At least these three billion can buy a ticket.

if not.

They can only sit on that pile of oil and gold, look up at the sky and make money.

"Mr. Chen, what you said makes sense." Salaman extended his hand as a symbol of agreement. "We will participate in the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Project. I will personally select a delegation to discuss the follow-up details with your company."

Chen Chen raised his lips: "You are welcome anytime."

Zheng Yucun looked at the two people chatting enthusiastically and felt that the cigar in his hand was no longer fragrant.

Although it was an informal meeting, Chen Chen calmly accepted the 3 billion yuan.

I also taught the customer a lesson.

Ever since being scolded by Chen Chen, the man named Faisal never came to the table to eat again.

This also shows Salaman's position from the side.

Chen Chen's words just now were very tactful, but the core idea was very sharp, which made His Royal Highness the Prince lose face.

even so.

Salaman happily reached an agreement with Chen Chen.

This shows that Salaman also wants to use Chen Chen to suppress the pro-American faction.

The dinner officially ended at about eight o'clock in the evening.

The two sides said goodbye to each other tomorrow in a peaceful atmosphere, and then Salaman sent someone to send them back to the hotel.

As the guests left, Salaman's face immediately turned livid: "Foolish Faisal, these idiots might affect our overall strategy."

The subordinates responded softly.

He was present when the little prince spoke just now, and he heard and saw it clearly.

There was a bit of a tense atmosphere.

If it weren't for Chen Chen's neither humble nor arrogant rebuttal, Faisal would have most likely caused the visiting delegation to leave in a bad mood.

"Sir, I think Mr. Chen is still happy to deal with us."

"Of course, he is a smart man." Salaman expressed his approval of Chen Chen. "But this time Dongda sent Chen Chen here, which makes me a little worried about the subsequent negotiations."

"Why?" The subordinate didn't quite understand. Chen Chen was a friend, so wouldn't it be easier to talk to him?
"He's so smart, I'm afraid he'll ask for too much."

The subordinate nodded and thought for a while: "If we use the air defense systems of other countries as a reference, the market price is about 5-8 million US dollars, and at most 10 billion, which should not exceed our psychological range."

"You are wrong. The market price you mentioned does not apply to Dongda."

Salaman looked hesitant.

He is familiar with all the air defense systems of the same level around the world.

Especially the price.

Take the Russian model for example, the selling price ranges from 5 million to 12 billion.

But what level is that set?
Judging from the recently leaked test launch data, the interception rate is around half.

Moreover, there are many countries in the world that are equipped with this technology, so it is not exclusive.

FD2000 is different.

Apart from our close friends at the University of Tokyo, few countries are equipped with this system.

The price that Dongda gives to its best friends is technical poverty alleviation, which is not included in market discussion.

If the price is calculated based solely on the capabilities of the FD2000, this system should far exceed the market price.

"The air defense system is not a car. If we lose our BMW, we can still use Mercedes-Benz as a replacement. But if we lose our FD2000, we will just be beaten."

"We have two other options." The subordinate was naive.

Salaman sneered: "Let's not talk about the performance of the two options. Those two air defense systems have a natural disadvantage."

"what?"

"When we buy FD2000, it is equivalent to buying an invisible protective cover. Dongda's air defense has always been aimed at only one country——."

That’s all I have to say.

The assistant suddenly understood: "So we have to be prepared?"

"Yes, since they are here, it means they are willing to sell," Salaman decided. "We must not lose this historic opportunity because of the price."

"I see!"

Salaman ordered, "Please consult the king in person tonight. I plan to buy 15 units at a price of $20 billion each."

"Okay, the total is about 300 billion US dollars. I will report it immediately."

The subordinate immediately left Salaman's mansion.

His report was actually just a formality to let the king know.

Because the king had previously instructed that Salaman could make his own decision on the $20 billion.

If it exceeds the limit, you can make the decision by just notifying us.

Money is not a problem.
