Chapter 249 Aegis Missile Destroyer Export Version The Yan State Navy left the 704 Shipyard, but Lin Chenran did not leave because he was still waiting for an important customer. With a piece of cloth on his head, I am the richest camel in the world. …… Time passed minute by minute, and finally, an airplane broke through the sky and landed at the airport of Yan Country. The plane was carrying a visiting delegation led by Abdul. After several hours of flying, Abdul and his team members looked a little tired, but their eyes were still full of anticipation. As soon as they got off the plane, they saw a row of luxurious Rolls-Royces that had been waiting for a long time. Then they got on a fleet of Rolls-Royce cars and left the airport, heading towards the 704 Shipyard. At this time, Abdul was full of doubts: Why should we go directly to the shipyard? What is the connection between Lin Chenran and the 704 Shipyard? Along the way, Abdul observed the scenery outside through the car window, and the doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Not long after, the convoy slowly drove into the gate of 704 Shipyard. When Abdul and others got off the car, they were immediately shocked by the magnificent scene before them. The huge dock, towering cranes and busy and orderly workers form a picture of bustling production. Just then, a familiar figure walked towards them. It turned out to be Lin Chenran. He smiled and walked briskly. He enthusiastically shook hands with Abdul and said, "Abdul, welcome to Yan Country again." Abdul also smiled and responded: "Lin, you are so polite!" The two held their hands tightly together. Afterwards, Lin Chenran led Abdul and his party slowly into the 704 Shipyard with a smile on his face. The sunlight shines on the spacious factory area, reflecting the huge and spectacular docks and gantry cranes, as if covering the entire shipyard with a layer of golden glow. During this time, Abdul's deep eyes revealed curiosity and doubt. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Lin, what is the relationship between the 704 Shipyard and you?" Abdul saw that everyone at the 704 Shipyard was very respectful to Lin Chenran. Hearing this question, Lin Chenran's smile remained gentle, but there was a hint of confidence and honesty in his eyes. He replied calmly: "Abdul, to be honest, the 704 Shipyard is actually a subsidiary of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal." As soon as he finished speaking, the other members of the Saudi delegation in the Camel Region suddenly widened their eyes, gasped in unison, and their faces were full of disbelief. They had heard about the approximate scale of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal and knew a thing or two about it. What they never expected was that the large-scale and technologically advanced 704 Shipyard in front of them actually belonged to the 077 Mechanical Arsenal. And the director of the 077 Mechanical Military Factory is Lin Chenran! In this case, the 077 Mechanical Arsenal seems to be involved in equipment for the navy, army and air force. Aircraft, tanks and warships can all be designed, developed and manufactured. At this moment, Abdul seemed to be struck by thunder. He stood there in a daze, his face full of disbelief and deep shock.
It was not until a few minutes later that he came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, his body trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated heart, and then cast his gaze on Lin Chenran again, his eyes flashing with eagerness, and asked impatiently: "Is your country's highly anticipated Aegis missile destroyer designed, developed and built by your 704 Shipyard?" Abdul asked the question directly without beating around the bush. When the members of the Saudi delegation from the Camel Region who were sitting nearby heard this question, they all turned their heads at the same time. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Lin Chenran, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lin Chenran to give an answer. Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Lin Chenran seemed unusually calm and composed. He smiled and said, "Yes, the Aegis missile destroyer was indeed independently designed, developed and built by our 704 Shipyard." This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves. "Really?" Abdul could hardly believe his ears. His face flushed with excitement and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously. He originally came to ask with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to find the "victim" so easily, which made him feel both surprised and surprised. The Aegis missile destroyer has caused a stir internationally since its debut. Its powerful performance and advanced technology have attracted the attention of many countries, and it is even hailed as one of the best destroyers in the world today. Now that we know that this warship was actually made by the shipyard where the person in front of us works, how can we not be extremely excited? "Then I wonder if our country, Saudi Arabia, can order Aegis missile destroyers from your company?" Abdul asked anxiously. If they can successfully introduce this advanced warship, it will greatly enhance their country's maritime defense capabilities. Faced with Abdul's urgent questioning, Lin Chenran behaved unusually calm and composed. He just smiled and said slowly, "Abdul, please be patient." "Let's go back to the conference room to discuss this. There are so many people here, so it's better to be careful about some things!" After saying that, Lin Chenran made a gesture of invitation, indicating Abdul and his party to follow him back to the meeting room. Even though this is their own territory, when it comes to such a major military transaction, they still have to remain highly vigilant to prevent the information from being leaked and exploited by people with ulterior motives. Lin Chenran was also thinking about showing the aircraft carrier to the Saudi delegation in the Camel area. …… Soon, Lin Chenran brought everyone to the conference room. The members of the Saudi delegation in the Camel Region all showed an impatient look on their faces. Seeing that the Saudi delegation members in the Camel Region were anxious, Lin Chenran said directly, "Abdul, the Aegis missile destroyer can be sold to you, Saudi Arabia." "Really?" "Great!" "Thank you, Lin. You are our best friend in Saudi Arabia."
Upon hearing this, Abdul stood up excitedly and walked over to shake hands with Lin Chenran. Before the Sand Kingdom in the Camel Region came to the Yan Kingdom, Lin Chenran had discussed the possibility of selling Aegis missile destroyers with the Yan Kingdom Navy. The senior leaders of the Yan State Navy do not mind selling the Aegis missile destroyers to the Saudi State in the Camel Region, but some changes are needed. The export version can only be sold to Saudi Arabia in the Camel region. What is the export version? Weapons and equipment must be reduced, and power must be reduced. Probably a reduction of about 30 percent. Some weapons and equipment are not supplied to Saudi Arabia in the Camel region. The Yan State Navy also had one condition, which was that a portion of the profits from the sale of the Aegis missile destroyers must be shared with them. (End of this chapter)
