I'm sorry, we already have...
Chapter 2869 I'm sorry, we already have...
Ultimately, the two people in the carriage reached an agreement.
Nine units provided the Longbow reconnaissance radar, and Old Chen was in charge of the sales pitch. Nine units took 25% of the profits, and the rest went to Old Chen.
The cooperation was reached, and the two were once again on friendly terms.
Peng and the others watching from the side shook their heads.
However, considering the relationship between the two, no one said anything more.
This is their own business.
With the artillery reconnaissance radar issue resolved, Yang Xiaotao returned to his normal work.
Then it's just busy.
At the same time, after receiving confirmation from General Peng, Old Chen immediately submitted relevant information about the artillery reconnaissance radar to his superiors and proposed a transaction.
The higher authorities attached great importance to this new type of weapon. After confirming it repeatedly, they took into account the current serious situation in Bei'an.
In addition, the alliance has been showing goodwill during this period. Although we know that there is a lot of interest exchange involved, it is much better than before.
Most importantly, the report submitted by Professor Chen clearly stated that this was only a preliminary version and that further improvements would be made.
In short, it's about taking advantage of a good market to sell at a good price.
Although China has developed well in recent years, its industrial foundation is still too weak.
As for rural areas, it goes without saying that many villages still don't have access to electricity.
Who would complain about earning more foreign exchange?
After discussion, the decision to sell the artillery reconnaissance radar to foreign entities was finally approved.
After receiving the news, Mr. Chen met with Nguyen Van Trieu and Paul the next day.
The three sat together again, Paul with a faint smile on his face.
Ruan Wenzhe, on the other hand, looked worried.
As soon as he sat down, Ruan Wenzhe began to speak heavily, "Chen, I have some very bad news for you. We have lost the rubber plantation of Thirty Miles. It was once the cradle of our industry and it carried the hopes of our country."
"But now, they've all fallen into the hands of those damned scoundrels, becoming weapons to attack the people..."
"Mr. Chen, we desperately need your help."
At this point, Nguyen Van Triet stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Please, for the sake of our long-standing friendship, please help us!"
Old Chen feigned empathy, but inwardly he became wary.
At the very beginning, seeing his neighbor being bullied and thinking about the war in the north, he felt sympathy for Beian.
Even when Yang Xiaotao mentioned "paid assistance," she had her reservations.
Of course, it wasn't just him; many older comrades didn't understand at that time.
But after several years of getting to know each other, he gradually noticed the differences.
Or perhaps, he has already seen through the other party's true colors.
At the very least, their behavior was not pure.
At the very least, they have their own ulterior motives.
Even if you give them the rubber plantation, it's just a small forest.
Industrial base?
He was certain that if he built a house today, the planes of the United States would take it down that very night, not even until tomorrow.
So don't be fooled by these guys' pitiful cries and groveling act; they're actually full of wicked schemes.
Besides, with the support of the alliance over the years, their lives may not be so difficult.
He was unaware of the support from other countries, but the supplies he personally allocated were already incredibly expensive.
Fortunately, the alliance covered the costs, so they didn't lose money.
"Mr. Ruan, our friendship has a long history and an unbreakable bond..."
"We will never sit idly by and stand by in the face of such an outrageous act..."
"Justice will surely prevail over evil, and those who aid and abet evil will be punished..."
Old Chen spoke with great passion, and Ruan Wenzhe matched his words perfectly. The two of them acted as if they were performing a play in the office, their performance full of emotion and expression.
Paul, who was watching the two of them having a good time, finally found an opportunity to chime in.
"Chen, this attack is the same as before. I think if this continues, the situation will deteriorate further, and it might even embolden the enemy..."
Paul's revisiting of the old issue clearly indicates his desire to acquire computer technology.
After the other party finished speaking, Old Chen smiled wryly and shook his head, leaving Paul and the other man completely baffled.
Then, Mr. Chen said apologetically, "Mr. Paul, I'm really sorry."
"I've specifically looked into the matter you mentioned with my comrades over the past two days!"
Paul nodded seriously. "Indeed, this is a highly technical thing, and it requires objective and fair evaluation from professionals."
"Then you should know the role this thing plays on the battlefield!"
Old Chen nodded vigorously, and Paul's face lit up with joy.
Then Old Chen said, "Yes, that's what I wanted to say too."
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Paul!"
"As you know, some projects are confidential, so there are some things I'm not entirely clear about."
Old Chen spoke with self-reproach, while Paul, who was waiting for the results, suddenly lost his smile. Old Chen, however, remained calm and said, "When I was learning about the situation from my comrades, we found out that this machine was an anti-artillery detection radar, and that's when we realized we had already made it!"
"What? You made it?"
Paul was surprised; Ruan Wenzhe's hand trembled, and he didn't even notice the water from the cup spilling onto his clothes.
"Yes, we've already made it, and it's already being used in the military!"
Old Chen spoke calmly and with a relaxed demeanor, which shocked Paul and the other man, yet they had no choice but to believe him.
After all, they've already given out their names, and there's no point in lying about this kind of thing.
"You really made it?"
Paul was still somewhat incredulous; even their league hadn't managed to make this before.
How could he believe this?
A moment of silence fell over the office.
Faced with Paul's questioning, Mr. Chen calmly replied, "Mr. Paul, we have no need to lie about this matter."
After saying that, Old Chen took out a photograph from a drawer.
This photo was taken at the training ground that day.
Of course, it's just a distant view, it only looks like a radar vehicle.
Even so, this is enough to illustrate the situation.
Paul stared blankly at the photo, his mind a complete void.
Before coming, I had considered all sorts of possibilities, even the possibility of rejection. But it doesn't matter. As long as they gradually realize that the current situation is becoming more and more serious, they will eventually cooperate with us.
I considered all sorts of possibilities, but I never imagined that the other party would actually do it.
"me…"
Paul was somewhat stunned and at a loss, but Nguyen Van Triet, who was standing next to him, reacted quickly. Looking at the machine in the photo, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen, you said this machine has already been deployed?" Old Chen immediately nodded, "That's right, we have already deployed it to the troops."
"Then... I wonder how effective this counter-battery reconnaissance radar is?"
Mr. Chen laughed upon hearing this, “Our radar can detect multiple targets within a 20-kilometer radius, and locate and counterattack the target within 12 seconds.”
“We tested it with an 81mm mortar. The shell flew three thousand meters and hadn’t even landed when we had already calculated the target and the counter-attack shell could hit it.”
"We also tested howitzers of various calibers, and they could find targets within a 20-kilometer range..."
As Old Chen spoke again, Ruan Wenzhe was already eight or nine parts convinced.
Even if the data is slightly different, it's probably about the same.
But yes, it definitely exists.
Just as Mr. Chen said, there is no need to lie about this matter.
After listening to what Old Chen had to say, Paul, who was standing to the side, was at a loss.
They only started talking in the car after the two of them left and got into their car.
"Damn it, they actually did it?"
"How is this possible? How could it possibly be made!"
"Asshole, damn bastard!"
Paul angrily pounded on the car, his heart filled with hatred for those bastards back home who hadn't even bothered to find out anything before sending him—it was utterly shameful.
After venting his anger, Paul finally looked at Nguyen Wen Zhe, who had remained silent.
"Ruan, say something!"
Ruan Wenzhe, however, remained calm and composed.
Hearing Paul speak, he smiled and said, "Mr. Paul, don't be angry, don't be impatient!"
“I have known Mr. Chen for more than ten years. Everything he does is meaningful.”
"Like this time, the fact that he was able to take out this radar in front of us says something."
Paul fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What does that mean?"
"This means their radar can withstand light!"
"See the light?"
Paul realized what was happening and immediately asked, "You mean, they want to sell?"
Ruan Wenzhe nodded slightly. This guy sent by the alliance, although a bit reckless, was not stupid.
"Yes, otherwise why would they reveal so much crucial data?"
Ruan Wenzhe said confidently, "So, we want to buy it?" Paul pounded on the car door.
Ruan Wenzhe sighed, "Do we have any other choice?"
Thinking about this, I felt a pang of sadness again.
When he came here, he hoped that the other party could provide free assistance.
But somehow, it ended up becoming paid assistance.
Even though the league eventually footed the bill, they still felt they had lost out.
It would be great if the league gave them that much money.
Now, not only has this guy made all the money, but I also have to swallow my pride and beg him. It's so frustrating.
But did he have any other choice?
He didn't, and neither did they!
"Damn it, these guys have no sense of camaraderie and mutual assistance among revolutionary comrades."
"A bunch of degenerate bastards!"
Paul's words struck a chord with Nguyen Van Chee, and the two exchanged a glance, both filled with resentment.
At that moment, Paul suddenly thought of something and said uncertainly, "You mean, they'd be willing to put this up for sale?"
Ruan Wenzhe nodded firmly, "That's right, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out!"
"This is a bunch of money-grubbing bastards, a bunch of bastards who have betrayed revolutionary ideals!"
Ruan Wenzhe cursed viciously, then looked at Paul, "Mr. Paul, we need this machine. We are preparing a counterattack to blow up the United States and those traitors!"
Paul waved his hand, saying, "That's not what I was talking about."
"I'm thinking, since the other party is willing to sell it, that means..."
Paul took a deep breath. "That means they have even better ones!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Wenzhe, who had been looking furious, suddenly opened his mouth as if he couldn't breathe, his face turning red.
“Ruan…”
"Ruan, what's wrong?"
"Driver, driver, to the hospital, to the hospital..."
……
Two days later, Old Chen walked out of the hospital with a sorrowful expression. When he saw Yang Xiaotao waiting at the door, he walked away quickly without saying a word.
He only burst into laughter after they left the gate and got into the car.
Hahahaha
Yang Xiaotao just stared at Old Chen and smiled for a while before asking, "Sir, the other party is already in the hospital. Isn't it a bit unfair of you to do this?"
"What do you mean by being unfair? This guy clearly had bad intentions and was just making himself angry. What's unfair about that?"
Old Chen looked like he was happy to do it, and Yang Xiaotao couldn't say anything.
After Old Chen finished expressing his joy, he asked, "So, what did they say?"
"What else can I say? I want to buy it!"
"Ten million?"
Old Chen nodded smugly, then held up two fingers, "It should be twenty-five million, for two units!"
Two units? In US dollars?
Old Chen chuckled, "Do you think the alliance can use US dollars?"
"Alliance Coins? That works too, perfect for buying things!"
Yang Xiaotao said with a grin, "Whether it's US dollars or Union Dollars, our nine departments take up 25% of the revenue!"
That's a lot of money!
"Are you calculating how much money you've made?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded subconsciously, but then shook his head. "No, no, I was thinking about how to go back and urge them to deliver the goods as soon as possible. We can't keep them waiting!"
"It's all about the money!"
"Look at your potential!"
Yang Xiaotao chuckled dryly twice.
I'll do anything as long as you pay me!
Old Chen then said seriously, "I reckon one unit will be sent to the Alliance this time, no problem!"
Yang Xiaotao loosened his arms and legs, "No problem, let them dismantle it!"
"Is it really okay?"
Old Chen was still a little uneasy, but Yang Xiaotao nodded seriously, "No problem, we'll have something even better!"
