Chapter 64 Lin Chenran: There is a reason why it is expensive Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei also felt that it was worth spending 760 million to buy the 12-horsepower four-stroke V-46-cylinder V- diesel engine in the hands of the Russian bear. Who made Yan State not have high-power tank engines now? If so, why do we need to import it from Russia? "Mr. Wei, I think 50 million US dollars may not be enough to satisfy the other party's appetite." Lin Chenran said calmly. Hearing this, Mr. Wei was surprised: "Fifty million US dollars can't satisfy the other party's appetite?" "Well, it's possible. I'll take it one step at a time when the time comes." Lin Chenran is not confident now. "There are still about 077 million US dollars. Your Mechanical Military Factory should not be able to use them all, right?" The country's foreign exchange reserves are now in short supply. If you want to introduce relevant technologies and equipment from abroad, you need foreign exchange.
"Mr. Wei, we still need to introduce several tank production lines." "so……" Lin Chenran became cunning. "You boy!" Upon hearing this, Elder Wei immediately played the emotional card: "Lin, you also know that in order to make way for the national economy, our military has to tighten its belt to make ends meet." "you……" Lin Chenran obviously didn't buy it: "Mr. Wei, you can't touch the million US dollars. We have to spend more than million US dollars to import technology and equipment." "I really can't give it to you. Besides, we also support the development of other third-tier military factories in the country. We plan to cooperate with the 212 Mechanical Military Factory to jointly develop a 120mm smoothbore gun." Although Saudi Arabia in the Camel area disdains the 120mm smoothbore gun. But Lin Chenran knew very well that the 120mm smoothbore gun equipped on the Apocalypse tank was sufficient at the current stage. Especially delivered to the Yan State military! "This……" "Your 077 Mechanical Military Factory still has million US dollars that can be exchanged for Yan coins." Since million US dollars are used to purchase various technologies and equipment. It is not easy for Mr. Wei to "keep an eye on" this part of the funds. After all, once the Apocalypse tank produced by the 077 Mechanical Military Factory shines in the Camel area, various orders will surely "float over" like snowflakes. The Yan State military cannot "kill the goose that lays the eggs." "Anyway, you also need to purchase some of the goods domestically." Mr. Wei aimed at the remaining 50 million US dollars. The Yan country's military also needs a batch of foreign exchange (US dollars) to purchase advanced foreign technology and equipment. Although Lin Chenran felt a little reluctant, he knew clearly that sometimes sacrifices had to be made for the benefit of the country.
On the black market, one US dollar can be exchanged for more than ten Yan coins; but through official channels, one US dollar can only be exchanged for two Yan coins. The gap between the two is as high as five or six times!!! In order to promote the development of Yan Country's national defense, Lin Chenran resolutely decided to take out some US dollars to exchange for Yan coins. Lin Chenran said with an extremely reluctant look: "Mr. Wei, in order to support the national defense cause, our 077 Mechanical Military Factory is willing to take out million US dollars to exchange for Yanbi." Upon hearing this, Elder Wei burst into laughter: "Lin, you are indeed wise. Thank you for the contribution made by your 077 Machinery and Military Factory to the national defense cause." Lin Chenran thought to himself: "Don't thank me so quickly. The military is going to purchase a batch of Apocalypse tanks from us. The price..." "Jie Jie Jie!!!" …… "Mr. Wei, we have negotiated the price of the top-of-the-line Apocalypse tank with Saudi Arabia in the Camel region. It's about million US dollars per tank." Lin Chenran said seriously. "What?" When Mr. Wei heard the price, his eyes widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "One million and a half dollars? Are you crazy?" He couldn't understand why the Apocalypse Tank was so expensive. Lin Chenran calmly explained: "Mr. Wei, you are anxious again. "Don't be anxious." "This price is already very favorable. The Apocalypse tank produced by our 077 Mechanical Military Factory is one of the most advanced tanks in the world. "We also have to consider factors such as R&D costs and production costs." Elder Wei frowned, thought for a moment and then asked, "What is the price of the military purchase?" Lin Chenran smiled and replied, "In order to support the development of the country's national defense, the military purchased it for two million Yan coins." "How is that possible? How can it be so expensive?" "Even the Type 80 tank is not that expensive!" When Mr. Wei heard the price of the Apocalypse tank, he instantly got furious. This price can buy one and a half Type 80 tanks. "Mr. Wei, there is a reason why you are expensive." "Although our Apocalypse tank has the same main weapon as the Type 80 tank, using a 120mm smoothbore gun, our weapon and equipment system is obviously more luxurious." "We are far ahead in the power system, defense armor system, etc., and there is a reason why they are expensive." "You get what you pay for. Two million Yanbi is the factory price, and we also paid for the labor costs." Lin Chenran explained to Mr. Wei why the Apocalypse tanks produced by his own 077 Mechanical Military Factory were so expensive. Old Wei was completely confused. I thought to myself: "Two million Yan coins plus labor costs, who are you trying to fool?" Obviously, the Apocalypse Tank, which costs two million Yan coins per unit, is too expensive.
Previously, the Yan State military purchased fifty to one hundred Apocalypse tanks on a small scale. It converts to between 100 million and 200 million Yan coins, which does not include subsequent after-sales maintenance, configuration, etc. "Lin boy, you didn't lie to me?" Mr. Wei confirmed again whether he had heard it wrong. "That's right, Mr. Wei. If the military wants to get the Apocalypse tank in the early stage, the price is two million Yanbi per tank. Compared with the one million and a half million US dollars for the dog tycoon, this is a full half a million US dollars less." “If the initial costs are spread out, it will definitely be more expensive.” "Didn't I just tell you that it would cost our 077 Machinery Military Factory more than 760 million US dollars to import the 12 horsepower four-stroke V-shaped 46-cylinder V- diesel engine from the Russian bear?" "Basalt special steel is very difficult to obtain and the initial price is very expensive." "After all, with two million Yan coins for an Apocalypse tank, our 077 Mechanical Military Factory doesn't make any money, and we still have to pay for some of the labor costs." "Of course, the military will not purchase the Apocalypse tanks from our 077 Mechanical Military Factory in the early stage. Once the costs are spread out, its price may drop a little." Lin Chenran gave the Yan State military two choices. Or the first batch of Apocalypse tanks that rolled off the production line. The price of one car is: two million Yan coins. Or wait for the subsequent costs to come down. The price is a little less than before, but certainly not much less. This requires the Yan State military to think about it. After listening to Lin Chenran's words, Elder Wei fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said, "I need to discuss this with other leaders." "I'll give you the answer later!" According to those configurations, the Apocalypse tank can challenge the Bison T72 tank and the Eagle Sauce M1 tank. Mr. Wei could already imagine that there would be endless arguments at the high-level military meeting of Yan State. (End of this chapter)
