Andre exclaimed, "This is impossible. A missile on a Sovremenny-class warship is worth $800,000, and the missiles on bombers and fighters are also around $500,000. We would have to be crazy to agree to such a condition."

Shen Dong asked: "Then how many missiles can you give me?"

Andre pondered for a moment and said, "Eighty fighter missiles and ten warship missiles. If you still want them, you have to pay for them."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Are you sending away beggars? Forty planes, eighty missiles, after they are used up, I will be left alone."

Chapter 628 Everything is Done

For the next two hours, the two sides argued back and forth over the number of missiles, until their faces turned red.

But no matter how much they argued, no one was willing to give up the deal.

After Andre doubled the amount, Shen Dong stopped while he was ahead and said, "If you agree to one condition of mine, then there will be no problem."

Andre frowned and asked, "What are your conditions?"

He was now a little annoyed by Shen Dong's difficulty.

If the army had been able to pay him, he would never have had anything to do with Shen Dong again.

Shen Dong said: "I bought your tanks and rocket launchers, but I can't produce shells. This is unacceptable to me. I hope you can sell me two shell production lines."

Andre said without hesitation: "This is impossible."

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Okay. Then I can only go to Xiaguo to buy it. Anyway, the shells used by everyone are common."

Andre coughed and said, "It's not that we can't negotiate. However, the shell production line is not cheap."

Shen Dong asked: "How much?"

Andre thought for a moment and said, "At least 50 million US dollars."

Shen Dong said without hesitation: "30 million US dollars is the limit I can accept."

The two men started arguing again, and the final price was set at 35 million US dollars, but the North Soviet country had to hand over the relevant manufacturing technology.

Production lines for artillery shells and rockets are not high-tech. As long as he has the technical data and sufficient funds, Shen Dong can produce several production lines within a year.

After determining the general direction, the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the negotiations ended. Shen Dong shook hands with Andre and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Andre smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

In the evening, Andre held a lively celebration party for Shen Dong.

After three rounds of drinks, Shen Dong pulled Andre, who was almost drunk, to a deserted corner and started chatting with him.

"General Andre, are we friends now?"

"of course."

"Okay, I hope I can have your contact information. If you need to buy any weapons in the future, or if you want to sell any weapons, you can contact me directly. I can't say anything else, but I will definitely satisfy you with the price."

"Shen, my brother, to tell you the truth, our military region can only get 30% of the benefits of this arms deal, and the other 70% goes to the top government officials. This distribution ratio has caused great dissatisfaction within our military region. After all, we provided the ships and planes, so why do we get so little? If they hadn't promised to give us additional ships and planes within two years, we would never have agreed."

Given the economic situation in Northern Soviet Union, it is simply a joke to expect to build ships and aircraft within two years.

Shen Dong secretly complained in his heart and said, "General Andre, I believe we still have a chance to cooperate. This is a little gift from me, please accept it."

Andre took the check and saw the several zeros on it, and he immediately perked up.

He shook his head vigorously and looked for a long time before he saw clearly that it was a check for three million US dollars. He was almost smiling.

"Shen, you are indeed my good brother. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call and I will do my best to help you."

Andre hugged Shen Dong tightly and patted his back hard.

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I will have to trouble you again in the future."

The drunk Andre never realized that Shen Dong was speaking Northern Su language, and that his pronunciation was more standard than his.

After the banquet, Shen Dong returned to the hotel and called the old man.

"Xiao Shen, is there any good news?"

"Old man, I don't know if this is good news. Two Sovremenny-class destroyers with 2.3 missiles and 25.3 aircraft with missiles cost billion U.S. dollars. Add in the million U.S. dollars in kickbacks, and the total is billion U.S. dollars."

"This is absolutely great news and money well spent."

"As long as you don't feel that you are losing out, that's fine. Old man, I will send the brothers of the Tenglong mercenary army to Vladivostok to learn the maintenance and operation of aircraft and warships for three months, with about 500 people. I will only send 50 people symbolically, and the remaining 450 people will be handed over to you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity. You'd better select the right person within three days and go to Vladivostok with my people."

The old man was very surprised and asked, "You mean we can still learn technology?"

Shen Dong said: "What about 2.5 billion US dollars? This can be called the world's largest arms deal. Why don't they teach us technology? I will withhold 500 million US dollars. If they don't teach our people, I won't give them money."

The old man laughed and said, "That's great. Xiao Shen, you don't know that once the weapons we purchased before broke down, we had to ask their people to repair them. This is very detrimental to the independence and autonomy of our military industry. Now, we can learn from this and make up for the previous lessons through this study."

Shen Dong said: "I will leave three million US dollars for our technicians to bribe the military experts of the Northern Soviet Union. If you don't know something before, you can ask directly. Ten thousand US dollars for one question. I believe they are happy to earn this consulting fee."

The old man said happily: "Businessmen are businessmen, and you have a good brain. The money will be paid by the state."

Shen Dong said, "No need. I also gained some benefits through this negotiation. This three million US dollars is my thank you fee."

The old man said solemnly: "Xiao Shen, on behalf of the Xia government, I thank you for your contribution to the country."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa, could you not be so serious? It makes me a little nervous."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The old man laughed.

Three days later, a team of 500 people arrived in Vladivostok, including 100 navy officers, 120 air force officers and 280 military technicians.

From the allocation of personnel this time, it can be seen that the Xia State military attaches great importance to military technology.

Shen Dong didn't believe that the Vladivostok Legion couldn't see the identities of these people, but they all chose to turn a blind eye, mainly because they didn't want to offend Shen Dong, a big client.

After staying for another week and seeing that everything was back on track, Shen Dong left Vladivostok on a special plane provided for him by the North Soviet military.

During this period, Shen Dong spent a full 10 million US dollars and successfully became "brothers" with the top military officials of the North Soviet Union.

Otherwise, he would not have received such high treatment.

Liu Xu followed Shen Dong as the translator throughout the whole process, and her eyes were completely opened.

In just twelve days, Shen Dong spent nearly 2 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 billion Xia yuan.

This is simply terrifying.

What does it mean to turn your hand into clouds and your hand into rain?

Willow catkins finally saw it.

Chapter 629 Grand Welcome

"Mr. Shen, are you working for the country?"

On the plane, Liu Xu looked at Shen Dong who was resting with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but ask softly.

Shen Dong said calmly: "Some things are much better for you to know than not to know."

Liu Xu curled her lips and said, "If I had known that what you did was so big, I wouldn't have been your translator."

Shen Dong said: "I let you touch these things on purpose."

Liu Xu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Shen Dong opened his eyes and said, "Tengfei Charity Foundation is the career I want to spend my whole life on. It is extremely important to me."

"The total amount of donations from the foundation now is 500 million Xia Yuan per year, which doesn't seem like a lot. But in three years, its total amount of donations will be 500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 3 billion Xia Yuan."

"If you want to manage such a huge amount of charity funds, you must become a core figure of Tengfei Group. I asked you to be a translator because I want you to know some secrets that you shouldn't know. In this way, you will never be able to leave Tengfei Group."

Liu Xu swallowed and said, "You mean if I leave the Tengfei Charity Foundation, you will do something to me?"

Shen Dong said: "Not only me, but also the Xia country military. Miss Liu, congratulations, your name has appeared on the list of the Xia country military."

Liu Xu said angrily: "Are you trying to hurt me?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I am helping you. If you hadn't met me, you would have been arrested within a year. At best, you would have been in jail, and at worst, you would have gone to hell. I have given you a bright future. As long as you work hard in the future, you will not only be able to help countless orphanages and build countless Hope Primary Schools, but you will also be able to get an annual salary of no less than 200,000 Xia Yuan. Don't you think this is great compared to before?"

Liu Xu said: "But I lost my freedom."

Shen Dong said disdainfully: "Have you ever been free?"

Liu Xu suddenly fell silent and said with a wry smile: "It seems like it has never happened before."

Shen Dong said: "Don't talk about you. Even I have never had freedom. In this world, no matter how much money or power you have, you will be bound by worldly human feelings, society, morality, and law. No one can break free. Let me tell you something very important. The Tengfei Charity Foundation has an honorary president. His name is..."

When Liu Xu heard the three words that Shen Dong uttered, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

She asked with difficulty: "Is it the one I think of?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. I met him some time ago and paid him 300 million per year to be the spokesperson for our foundation. Three years later, the donations reached 500 million US dollars, which was also a gentleman's agreement between him and me. Miss Liu, do you understand your importance now? If you don't do well, not only will you and Tengfei Group be embarrassed, but even the old man's reputation will be affected."

Liu Xu said: "I will definitely not let him down."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I hope so."

When going to Vladivostok, Shen Dong took a thirty-hour train ride.

It only took four hours to get back.

The gap is really unprecedented.

Coming out of the airport, Shen Dong saw military vehicles neatly lined up in the parking lot.

Standing at the front were Du Yuxin and an air force general from Xia State.

In his previous life, Shen Dong often saw him on the news when he was a child. He never expected that this great man would come to the airport to pick him up in person.

Du Yuxin came up with a smile, hugged Shen Dong tightly, and said excitedly: "Mr. Shen, you did a great job."

Shen Dong said: "President Du, can you not hold me so tightly? I am only interested in women."

"puff"

Hearing Shen Dong's words, Admiral Luo next to him couldn't help but laugh.

The old man is right, this Xiao Shen is really interesting.

Du Yuxin said helplessly: "Mr. Shen, I am really speechless. Let me introduce you, this is General Luo, the commander-in-chief of the Xia country's air force."

Admiral Luo saluted Shen Dong solemnly and said, "Mr. Shen, on behalf of the Xia Air Force, I would like to thank you for bringing us forty of the most advanced fighters and bombers. This has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of our air force."

Shen Dong shook his hand and said, "No, the money is from the government. I am just a runner at best. I really don't deserve your sincere thanks."

Admiral Luo said: "The problem is that apart from you, no one in the entire Xia country can accomplish this."

Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "Now that you put it that way, I really feel that I am quite important."

Du Yuxin smiled and said, "It is quite important."

"Ha ha ha ha"

All three laughed.

When Li Jie and others saw a general from Xia State coming to pick them up at the airport, they immediately felt a sense of pride and honor from the bottom of their hearts.

It’s so fucking prestigious!

On the way back, Du Yuxin said, "Mr. Shen, the Lighthouse Country, the Eagle Sauce Country, and other Western countries already know about your purchase of aircraft and warships."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "I am not surprised by this. Such amazing weapons and equipment will be taken very seriously by any country."

Du Yuxin said: "The key is where will these planes and warships be placed in three months?"

Shen Dong said: "It definitely cannot be done within our country, otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Northern Soviet Union. General Luo, President Du, you should have considered the whole situation, right?"

Admiral Luo said: "We think your private island is the most suitable place."

Shen Dong said: "Then we need to build a naval base and a large airport on the island."

Admiral Luo said, "We went to your island a few days ago. The infrastructure is very good. If it is handed over to our military engineering team, I guarantee that the construction of the naval base and large airport can be completed within three months."

Du Yuxin echoed, "Mr. Shen, the old man has spoken. As long as you are willing, the construction of the island can be undertaken by the Xia Kingdom military."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I'm very willing. Give me a contact number and I'll let Chen Hui take over. All the islands will be built by you. The construction cost is not a problem, the key is speed."

Admiral Luo said, "That's settled. There is one more question, which is about the training of aircraft and warships."

Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "This is easy to do. You can let a group of pilots and sailors retire and ask them to temporarily join the ranks of Tenglong mercenaries. One day, when the Northern Soviet Union is finished, they can take their planes and warships back."
