"bang bang bang"
There was a knock on the door.
Shen Dong opened the door, saw that it was Li Jie, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Jie shook the mobile phone in his hand and said, "Ah Hui called about something in Beisu."
Shen Dong closed the door, took the mobile phone, and said, "Ah Hui, what's the news?"
The day before yesterday, after the old man asked Shen Dong to help buy fighter jets, bombers, and warships, Shen Dong called Chen Hui and asked him to contact
"Brother Dong, I am with Mr. Ivanov now, and he wants to talk to you."
Shen Dong said: "Give him the phone number."
Soon, Ivanov's voice came.
"Mr. Shen, I heard that you want to buy bombers, fighters and warships. I want to know if you are buying them for Xiaguo?"
"Of course not. I bought it for myself."
"Excuse me, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to maintain these weapons and equipment now."
"Mr. Ivan, don't underestimate my ability. Many things can be done as long as there is money. I know this matter is too big and you may not be able to make the decision. I hope to contact the top military officials and go through formal channels, and we can sign a contract. Unless the North Su Kingdom no longer exists, I will never give the weapons and equipment purchased from your country to any country, including the Xia Kingdom."
As soon as this promise came out, Ivanov immediately felt Shen Dong's sincerity.
As for the fact that the Northern Su Kingdom no longer exists, he had never thought about it at all.
Shen Dong continued: "Mr. Ivan, you should know that with your country's strength, I would never dare to breach the contract."
Ivanov thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to buy? What's the price?"
Shen Dong said: "Mr. Ivan, as far as I know, your country has sold a lot of bombers, fighters, and warships to Middle Eastern countries, and even more privately. As a seller, you should know better than me."
Ivanov said: "The Mi-29 fighter jets are 31 million US dollars each, the Mi-22 fighter jets are million US dollars each, the Tu-M bombers are million US dollars each, and the Sovremenny-class destroyers are million US dollars each. Mr. Shen, are you sure you want to buy them?"
expensive!
Shen Dong felt that the price offered by Ivanov was ridiculously expensive.
Given Xia's current economic situation, even if Beisu is willing to sell, they probably can't afford it.
Shen Dong said: "This is the international market price. The smuggling price shouldn't be that expensive, right?"
Ivanov smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, these fighter planes and warships are the main combat forces of our country. They can only be obtained through formal channels. No one dares to smuggle them."
Shen Dong said: "What I want is the finished product."
Ivanov said, "Of course. As long as you are willing to pay, I can go and negotiate. By the way, how much will my reward be?"
Shen Dong said without hesitation: "I said 10%, it means 10%. Tomorrow morning, I will give you a list of weapons."
Ivanov said happily: "No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong took a long breath and said, "It's really damn expensive."
Li Jie asked: "Brother Dong, did you really buy this for yourself?"
Shen Dong smiled slightly and said, "Guess."
Li Jie was completely speechless.
Shen Dong found Du Yuxin and handed him the weapons price list he had just written. He said, "President Du, you need to report this list. If you want to buy something, it would be best if you can tell me before tomorrow morning. I can't guarantee whether I can buy it or not, I can only say that I will do my best."
Du Yuxin's expression was extremely solemn, and he said, "I understand."
At three o'clock in the morning, the phone in Shen Dong's room rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Xiao Shen, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Hearing the old man's voice, Shen Dong immediately perked up and said, "It doesn't matter to me as a young man. You'd better not stay up late and get more rest."
"Once your price list comes out, we won't be able to sleep well. I want to confirm whether you can really buy these equipments. These are the main equipments of Beisu."
"The arms dealer I contacted is called Ivanov. From the tone of his voice, he seemed quite confident. The key is the money. I think it's a bit expensive."
"We are not afraid of the high price, but we are afraid of the lack of demand. If we were to come forward, I am afraid that the Northern Su Kingdom would not even negotiate with us."
"I assured him that I would not sell the equipment to any country or organization unless North Sudan ceased to exist, and only then did he relent."
"You are still smart."
"Grandpa, have you guys discussed it? What equipment do you want to buy?"
"Four Sovremenny-class destroyers, twenty Tu-23M bombers, and twenty Mi-31 fighters."
"The total value of these weapons is about 25.3 billion US dollars, plus the bribes given to Ivanov, that's billion US dollars. Old man, can Xiaguo's finances afford it?"
"We have to accept it even if we can't bear it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we absolutely cannot miss it."
"If the North Soviet Union really disintegrates one day, we may be able to buy these equipment at a cheaper price."
"General equipment is definitely fine, but no country would easily sell such a national treasure. Xiao Shen, I know you have a lot of money. If this succeeds, we would like to borrow 2 billion US dollars from you. What do you think?"
"Why don't you just sell me the land? My Tengfei Automobile Factory is manufacturing cars. Once it succeeds, it will be famous all over the world, so I need to build several automobile production bases. Also, the negotiations in Japan are coming to an end, and we also need bases to produce electronic products. Each of these bases will need at least 2,000 acres of land, and I can buy them directly with US dollars."
"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I will fully support it. However, are you so sure that your Tengfei car can be manufactured?"
"Grandpa, I have full confidence in Tengfei Automobile. The technology we use is the best in the world, at least five to ten years ahead of the international level."
"If it's really as you said, I will personally cut the ribbon for you when the car manufacturing base is completed."
"Okay, then it's settled."
The next day, Shen Dong contacted Ivanov again.
"Mr. Shen, you are playing too big."
"Is it big? The price of this transaction is only twice as much as our previous transaction."
Chapter 622 You come and I go
"A medium-sized naval fleet, a fighter formation, and a bomber formation. These weapons and equipment are enough for you to defeat 95% of the countries. Mr. Shen, I am now very suspicious of your purpose."
"Mr. Ivan, what are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will sell these weapons to the enemy of the North Soviet Union? Don't be ridiculous. I can assure you again that I will never sell them unless I get the consent of the North Soviet Union or the North Soviet Union ceases to exist."
"Such a big thing, I need to report it to the country."
"I await your reply."
About an hour later, Shen Dong received Ivanov's reply.
"There is no problem with fighter jets and bombers, but the two destroyers cost 2.5 million U.S. dollars each. This is our bottom line."
"It's too expensive. I might as well buy a few warships from those European countries."
"Can their warships compare to our Sovremenny-class destroyers?"
"If your destroyers were not really good, do you think I would be willing to spend so much money to buy them? Four hundred million US dollars for two Sovremenny-class destroyers, this is my bottom line. If you disagree, forget it. Mr. Ivan, I want to know when you can deliver the fighters and bombers?"
“It will take at least two years.”
"Two years? Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Two years later, the Northern Su Kingdom no longer existed, so what was the point of buying it?
"Mr. Shen, we can't sell you fighter jets and bombers that are in service."
"Mr. Ivan, you really have no sincerity at all. Forget it, all our arms purchase agreements end here. I need to change an arms supplier."
"Wait a minute. Mr. Shen, this plane has been in service for ten years. Would you like to buy it?"
"That depends on how dilapidated the plane is."
"You wait for my news."
Half an hour later, Shen Dong spoke with Ivanov again.
"Mr. Shen, our senior military officials want to see you."
"Mr. Ivan, you don't want me to go to Moscow?"
"It's Vladivostok."
Vladivostok is two thousand kilometers away from Yandu. There are no planes, only trains, and it takes about twenty-four hours.
"What time?"
"Three days later."
"Sure. You'd better come to Yandu and go with me."
"I'll arrive at 12 noon tomorrow."
"Then it's settled."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong frowned.
Vladivostok is the base of the Northern Soviet Pacific Fleet. Does that mean Ivanov has connections with the top brass of the Pacific Fleet?
Li Jie next to him couldn't help but say, "Brother Dong, Vladivostok is their territory. It's too dangerous."
Shen Dong said: "If we don't go, the negotiation will not be successful. The situation of the Northern Su Kingdom is precarious now. It would be a pity if we don't try to suck as much blood as possible. What's more, I am not only here to negotiate for the Xia Kingdom this time, but also for our Tenglong mercenaries."
Li Jie was stunned and asked, "What do you want?"
Shen Dong said: "Buy them a rocket launcher production line."
Li Jie exclaimed: "I'm afraid they won't sell it?"
Shen Dong stretched out two fingers, rubbed them gently, and said: "As long as they have US dollars, there is nothing they can't sell. With this transaction, I will be able to connect with them in the future. When the North Su Kingdom is difficult to maintain, I will find them again to buy what I need. By then, they will have to sell it whether they want to or not."
Li Jie said: "Brother Dong, you are playing too big."
Shen Dong patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Get ready, we'll go to Vladivostok in two days."
"Yes."
Li Jie agreed and turned to leave.
Shen Dong glanced at the corner of the corridor and returned to his room.
At the corner, Li Zhaoshan's face was full of shock.
He was not feeling well today and did not go out with the expedition team.
He originally wanted to talk to Shen Dong about Hang Seng Bank, but he didn't expect to hear so many secrets.
Warships, fighter jets, bombers, rocket launcher production lines, this Shen Dong is simply a madman.
If this were to happen, wouldn't Shen Dong's military strength surpass that of most countries?
What does he want to do?
Founding a country?
This is too scary.
Just as Li Zhaoshan turned to leave, Du Yuxin came towards him.
"Mr. Li, what are you doing here?" Du Yuxin greeted with a smile.
Li Zhaoshan reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "I'm not feeling well, so I came out for a walk."
Du Yuxin looked at him deeply and said, "Mr. Li, if you heard something inappropriate from Mr. Shen, please keep it confidential."
There are cameras installed in the corridors of the entire Diaotai Hotel. The reason why Du Yuxin came here was because he received a report from the security personnel.
Judging from Li Zhaoshan's expression just now, he guessed that Li Zhaoshan must have heard about Shen Dong's purchase of arms, which was why he issued a warning.
Li Zhaoshan said: "Don't worry, President Du, I didn't remember anything."
Du Yuxin did not continue to dwell on this topic and instead asked about Li Zhaoshan's health.
Li Zhaoshan responded casually with a few words, then said goodbye and returned to his room.
"Four beauties, I'm afraid I can't go back to Hong Kong Island with you."
In the room, Shen Dong said to Li Xinxin and the other three girls.
Ou Yongen asked, "Do you have anything else to do in Yandu?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "There are some things from the inland government that I need to deal with."
