Chapter 495: Last minute deal, special sale

Two is too few, we need five people.

Several people from the Aviation Development Committee lowered their heads and discussed quietly, mainly calculating the costs in their minds.

The purpose of bringing Ying has been completely exposed, which also shows a good news: they are willing to wade into troubled waters to provide hydrogen bombs, and the price is exactly what the Aviation Development Commission can easily provide.

My family knows their own business. The current "Full Moon" lander is planned to be discontinued after three more units are produced. The next generation lander is the yet-to-be-named XH-40. It has a high uplink and downlink capacity. As long as it is willing, it can carry two to three hundred people to land. no problem.

However, other support parts are still very expensive. Space suits, cleaning supplies, living supplies, living space, etc. are all valuable. Every liter of air on the moon is precious.

Five astronauts are at least five sets of spacesuits. The current Pioneer I type is ready to be mass-produced in 100 pieces. The average cost is 3 million, which is a cost of 15 million. The total cost of other items is roughly 50 million, with a maximum of 1 Within billion.

Now there was finally a clear price tag, and Wu Yi finally got a clear bottom line for negotiation.

"Five astronauts can do it. Including the one that was tested, five hydrogen bombs are needed."

Connor perked up, not because of the hydrogen bomb, but because United Mining agreed to the terms of five astronauts landing on the moon without much hesitation!

Hopkins, the aerospace expert next to him, was even more excited. The moon landing spot is much more precious than the hydrogen bomb.

He grabbed Connor and said something, and then Stevenson joined in for discussion. Finally, Connor gave a counteroffer:

"Hydrogen bombs must be paid for. We can give... Well, considering your company's poor financial situation, the Royal Air Force has 5 expiring hydrogen bombs that can be disposed of cheaply. Each one costs 1 million U.S. dollars. In order to reach the expected yield, it needs to be renewed. It will be dismantled and modified, and 5 pieces will be sold for 10 million U.S. dollars including modification costs until your requirements are met!"

"..."

Wu Yi leaned slightly to Lin Ju's side and asked in confusion:

"Is the hydrogen bomb still on schedule?"

Lin Ju was still shocked by Connor's outrageous remarks, but he still nodded in response:

"Both atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs have a shelf life, which is the fissile material content and the half-life of the gas-assisted core... In short, they do, usually 25 to 30 years."

"Then if they really sell us the products that are about to expire, will there be quality problems?"

"There are still 20 years left before the expiry date is over."

Wu Yi suddenly understood that the price of five pills at ten million US dollars was really a huge drop compared to before, but he was so confident that he couldn't help but bargain again:

"The price of hydrogen bombs that are about to expire is still too expensive. Each bomb includes a modification cost of 1 million U.S. dollars, and the total transaction volume is 5 million U.S. dollars."

"make a deal!"

Connor agreed seamlessly and stood up, looking at all the astonished Chinese personnel and said expectantly:

"Then let's draft the contract quickly and break up after signing."

Wu Yi: "..."

Academician Yu: "..."

Lin Ju looked carefully at the boss sitting in charge:

"sign?"

"sign!"

The latter nodded slowly. In any case, this is an extremely favorable condition. Although there is still a suspicion of a high price, it is already rare to be able to reach a deal so quickly. If another party joins, the entire plan will be almost complete. It's a done deal.

The China Nuclear Negotiation Team led by Academician Yu just watched the other two groups work out the contract in full swing on the spot. Luo Luo also called in the legal team who had been waiting outside for help, so they drafted a contract as quickly as possible. A ten-page contract.

Connor even insisted on raising the liquidated damages to US$1 billion to prevent breach of contract. In the end, it took more than two hours to basically reach a consensus on all aspects of the contract, and Connor immediately demanded to sign the contract immediately.

The legal team of United Mining also checked that there were no problems. Just when they were about to sign, the boss suddenly received a call, which interrupted the lively atmosphere for a few minutes.

Wu Yi also temporarily stopped signing the contract. After the boss answered the phone, everyone from United Mining gathered together, which gave Connor a bad feeling.

He quickly found an opportunity to get in and asked eagerly:

"What happened? Sign the contract quickly, Mr. Wu."

Seeing his anxious look, Academician She smiled and said with a cheerful face:

"It's nothing, it's just that Lucia and Laoguo also have companies preparing to bid. I think..."

"No, you must have the spirit of contract!"'

Connor interrupted Academician She somewhat rudely, then stamped his foot and raised a finger:

"We will send an extra hydrogen bomb with a small yield for test explosion, six. Six hydrogen bombs only cost 5 million US dollars. This is the most cost-effective business in the world. What are you waiting for? Gentlemen, there is absolutely no one more affordable than us. price."

Under Connor's nervous eyes, several people from United Mining gathered together to discuss again. A few minutes seemed to him longer than a century. Finally, he finally saw Lin Ju taking the lead in nodding, and then everyone reached a consensus.

At this time, Wu Yi was full of smiles and said unhurriedly:

"As the first foreign partner to bid, we cherish this friendship very much, which fully illustrates the long-standing relationship between the two countries..."

Wu Yi started talking a lot of nonsense, until Connor was too anxious to stand, he stopped in time and stretched out his right hand:

"Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Connor breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands hastily, and then signed the two contracts, followed by others in the delegation.

When he looked at the location of United Mining and wrote down names one by one and finally stamped it, he finally relaxed with relief.

He is very sure that the one he signed is definitely the one with the best treatment. Now that the Chinese people have realized it, it is impossible for latecomers to get better conditions.

"Thank you, Luo Luo will do his best, and please keep your promise."

"Of course, please select personnel as soon as possible. The physical requirements for working in space are not low, and training is required."

Ronaldo's delegation happily left with the contract. From their point of view, it was undoubtedly a huge profit. Although this contract also represented international pressure and influence, it still cannot be denied that Dai Ying has already made a fortune. They did get what they wanted.

United Mining did not feel it was a loss. A hydrogen bomb of less than 10 million yuan was cheaper than its own cost. In the end, it even gave one as a gift, and the actual cost was less than a few dollars.

Only the Chinese nuclear negotiation team led by Academician Yu could only watch helplessly as both sides sang a double act. They just came here to improvise and had no instructions at all on what to do.

When the meeting was ending, he grabbed Lin Ju alone, making the latter a little scared.

"Mr. Yu, if you have anything to do, please give me direct instructions."

Academician Yu: "I don't care how you deal with foreigners, but you must bring our people with you. These data and experiences are very precious. There are also some second-generation hydrogen bomb warheads in China. Those should have been retired, and maybe they will be. It can be processed cheaply, and the equivalent quantity is similar to what you require, so it can be used directly.”

"..."

Lin Ju was a little dumbfounded. His feeling was that Academician Yu was afraid that United Mining was only interested in profit. This worry was completely unnecessary.

"Don't worry, we will definitely consult the Academy of Nuclear Science when formulating the final plan. We will not just listen to outsiders."

Academician Yu nodded with confidence and was about to leave to apply for supercomputing and do simulations.
