Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After coming out of Mr. Jiang's office, Zhou Yang was in a very excited mood. The matter in the Middle East had been planned for so long, and finally there was news. All his efforts were not in vain.

Although he had promised Mr. Jiang just now that a missile would cost at least US$100 million, that was just a conservative statement to avoid over-stimulating the old man.

After all, Jiang Lao is already old and cannot withstand too much stimulation.

In fact, his psychological value is two to three hundred million dollars a piece.

This price is not something Zhou Yang can get by just touching his upper and lower lips.

It is based on the current general price of high-end weapons in the international arms trade market and the purchasing budget of Sha Dahu.

He knows how hard the big investors are trying to keep their own money in order to deter other neighboring countries that are ready to take action. In order to purchase medium- and long-range ballistic missiles, their king specially approved a budget of US$80 billion.

In the previous life, Hua Guo did not know the other party's trump card. One finger mistakenly made the other party think it was 100 million U.S. dollars. As a result, the other party's negotiator almost made the other party's negotiator scream like a chicken. It was so cheap.

But now that Zhou Yang knew the other party's trump card, he naturally couldn't let them take advantage of this. He had to spend all the 80 billion budget, otherwise he would be very sorry for the character of the rich and wealthy.

Of course, the reason why Zhou Yang is so excited is not all because of these billions of dollars in orders.

To be honest, after these years of development, the Scythe Plan alone has delivered more than 200 billion US dollars in development funds to the country. Although the country is still short of money, it is no longer as hungry as in previous lives.

The reason why he is so insistent on selling the country-defeating artifacts like Dongfeng 3 is partly because we have the more powerful Dongfeng 5, and more powerful ballistic missiles are also being developed.

To be honest, it is best if someone buys Dongfeng 3 now. If no one buys it, it will become a background board in a few years.

More importantly, Zhou Yang wants to use this opportunity to open up the cutting-edge market of international arms trade. In the global arms trade, guns and bullets can only be regarded as a low-end market, or a sinking market. Anyone with a machine at home can participate. .

For example, Afghanistan, the cemetery of the empire, will become the world's largest firearms circulation market in the future. AK assault rifles and RPGs are all sold at bargain prices. These firearms are all processed by local people using simple machinery. It can be seen that gun manufacturing is How low is the technical threshold for cannons?

Of course, low technical threshold means many competitors and low profits.

Therefore, the real money in the arms trade is in the high-end market and the cutting-edge market. The high-end market includes tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, helicopters, transport aircraft, drones, gunboats, warships, etc.

The cutting-edge market consists of various models of kickers, plus cutting-edge air defense systems, fighter jets, aircraft carriers, etc.

Each piece of these equipment costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Apart from the technical value, the cost alone may not even be hundreds of thousands, which is a huge profit.

After years of unremitting efforts, coupled with the superior performance of Chinese weapons in the Iran-Iraq war, they have now successfully opened up the low-end and high-end markets of global arms trade.

But only the cutting-edge market is still controlled by the Alliance of Thief Eagle and Furry Bear. Compared with China, countries still believe more in the technology of the two superpowers.

Zhou Yang just wanted to use this transaction with a big player to completely open up the cutting-edge market.

Of course, if our Dongfeng 3 can be deployed in the Middle East, it will be a good thing for both large companies and us.

For wealthy people, this thing is a life-saving weapon. Not to mention actually launching it, as long as these large firecrackers are erected wherever they go, others will shudder.

After all, no one knows what kind of warhead is installed on this thing. If it is a mushroom bomb, one may destroy the capital of other countries. It is no joke.

Looking back at the previous missile purchase case between a major player and China, we can see that although a missile has not been fired for more than 30 years, the Dongfeng missile was only displayed at the military parade of the major player, but it successfully frightened the surrounding countries with ulterior motives.

Therefore, this missile is more like an enshrined artifact to ward off evil spirits to wealthy households, warning countries such as Hoopoe and Persia not to have any undue thoughts about it.

And the big investors only spent 35 billion US dollars in exchange for decades of peace. This kind of deal is simply a bloody profit.

Again, for us, the deal was well worth it, and in addition to the billions of dollars in real money, we also got a huge amount of influence.

According to the agreement reached between the two parties, although these missiles were sold to large companies, the maintenance and launch control are all controlled by us. This means that we have our own missile launch base in the Middle East, and its deterrent power is self-evident.

Therefore, in the previous life, even though the big players had always implemented pro-American policies, their relationship with us had always been very good. Zhou Yang didn't believe it if there were no such big firepower factors.

Because of this, he was so active in promoting this matter.

Now people from big households have come to the door. With their urgent needs and their own preference, this transaction will definitely go very smoothly.

It's just that the purchase amount of 80 billion US dollars is a bit small. The big players are local tycoons. How can they not even compare with Silly Damu and Persia.

You know, during the Iran-Iraq war in the past few years, the military trade purchases between Shadamu, Persia and us have exceeded 160 billion US dollars.

This arms trade negotiation has to make the big players stand up...

While Zhou Yang was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps at the end of the corridor. When he looked up, he saw Director Song from the Equipment Department walking towards him with a familiar person.

Soon the two of them arrived in front of him. Before Zhou Yang could speak, Director Song smiled and said: "Dean Zhou, this is Director Liu from the Fourth Machinery Department. You must know him too!"

"We know each other, how could we not know each other!"

Then Zhou Yang looked at Director Liu and said, "Old Liu, are you here to do business too?"

Director Liu immediately said: "Dean Zhou, I came here specifically to see you!"

"Find me?"

"Yes, after the leader knew that you arrived in the capital, he specially asked me to pick you up and take you to the ministry!" Director Liu said.

"Hey, how did Minister He know that I came to the capital?"

"Haha, it was Old General Liang who said that. The minister called you in the afternoon, but Old General Liang said that you had gone to the capital, and then Minister He asked me to come here to pick you up..."

After listening to Director Liu's explanation, Zhou Yang immediately nodded and said, "In that case, let's go over there and don't keep Minister He waiting!"

"OK..."

Afterwards, the two of them greeted Director Song and hurried to the Fourth Machinery Department.

The office of the Fourth Machinery Department is not very far from the Equipment Department, only two blocks away. It only takes less than ten minutes to drive there.

After getting off the bus, under the leadership of Director Liu, Zhou Yang went all the way to the door of Minister He's office on the fifth floor.

"Ding-deng-deng..."

"Come in!"

After receiving permission, Director Liu immediately opened the door, then stood at the door and said: "Minister, Dean Zhou is here!"

"Hahaha, please...please come in quickly!"

Hearing Minister He's hearty laughter, Zhou Yang immediately strode in.

"Hello, Chief, Zhou Yang, Director of the 18th Research Institute..."

Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Minister He interrupted him with a smile and said, "Your boy will soon be a full-time member of the Corps. I don't dare to act as a leader in front of you!"

"You always joke, those are all rumors!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "Besides, I was not born when you started the revolution. Even if I become a full-time cadre of the Corps, I will still be a brat in front of you. There is nothing wrong with calling you Chief!"

Zhou Yang knew that Minister He was talking about the upgrade of their research institute to a corps-level unit. This matter had been rumored for two years. After all, their unit had made frequent achievements in the past two years.

Especially for the 051 project, the 3th Research Institute developed 4 new radars within one year, and also improved 051 old shipborne radars, making great contributions to the commissioning of the 052 ship and the development of the . contribute.

More importantly, after these years of development, the number of first-level research institutes under the jurisdiction of the 5th Research Institute has reached 9, as many as second-level research institutes, and as for other second-level units, there are as many as six. There are more than ten, and all the staff and cadres add up to more than people.

Both in terms of scientific research results and scale, it is the top among the major scientific research institutes in the country. Therefore, there have always been voices about the 18th Research Institute being upgraded to the Corps level, but there has never been a definite order from above.

As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, the smile on Minister He's face suddenly dropped, and then he said shockingly: "This time it's really not a rumor, your research institute is really going to be upgraded!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang was stunned...
