Chapter 868 869 Don’t waste your time
"Don't waste your time. It's just a new type of fighter jet. We don't have it. It depends on whether you are willing to buy it." On the sofa, a Datang Group salesman crossed his legs and took it from his mouth. He took out his cigarette and blew out a puff of white mist that covered the road.
"Sir, this is what you said! Butcher fighter! We want it!" The representative of the Sussus Empire sitting opposite smiled enthusiastically and filled the other party with another glass of wine.
As countries begin to popularize high-quality seeds, use chemical fertilizers on large areas, and spray pesticides, food production in various countries is increasing.
The growth of food means that the pressure on food begins to lighten, so everyone has more food to use to make wine. As a result, more fruit wines are on the market, and the quality is getting better and better.
Of course, the various wines produced in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty are still of the highest quality, but Bunas, which was already famous, and some specialty wines from other places have also begun to become popular on a large scale.
At this moment, what they were drinking was a kind of Dornish specialty wine. It had a very dense texture and had a unique flavor to it.
"The Butcher costs 13,900 gold coins per piece. How much do you want?" The salesman did not refuse, but directly gave a price that sounded undesirable.
Just kidding, one hundred fighter jets may not be enough. Just buying a plane costs nearly one million. Who can afford it?
Nowadays, everyone is no longer the same as before. Fools all know that buying a fighter jet is not a one-time deal. In comparison, a fighter jet is the cheapest upfront payment.
When you buy a fighter jet, of course you also need to purchase a series of supporting services, such as corresponding ground crew training, fighter pilot training, commander training...
Including maintenance tools, refueling vehicles, corresponding weapons and ammunition, engine maintenance spare parts... not much, one sub-project costs thousands of gold coins, and buying a set will cost tens of millions.
Nowadays, all countries still owe money to the Tang Empire, and the debts are being repaid in installments. Where can there be such a large amount of money to buy fighter jets?
The representative of the Susus Empire sitting over there looked embarrassed: "Sir... I'm joking, we can't come up with such a large sum of money... Do you think it can be cheaper?"
"Since you have said this, I will also give you a discount... 13,700 gold coins, how about it? Is that interesting? If you buy 100 aircraft, I will give you a discount of 20,000 gold coins!" The salesperson from Datang Group stretched out **** and shook them in front of the other party's face.
After finishing speaking, he flicked the ashes of his cigarette and added: "You know the rules, a fighter jet, a kickback of this amount..."
As he spoke, he held out a finger - everyone in the industry knew that this represented a rebate of 100 gold coins.
Selling anything is a matter of worldliness, even if it is selling arms. Being in charge of purchasing has always been a lucrative job. As long as you are willing, you can easily get sufficient rebates.
The rebate of 100 gold coins per aircraft really shows the sincerity of Datang Group. But the representative of the Susas Empire still looked bitter, because he really couldn't afford to purchase such expensive equipment.
In fact, by comparison, this price is indeed not expensive: when the Tang Empire sold aircraft technology, a country extorted 100 million gold coins.
At present, 100 Butcher fighter jets are sold for less than 20 million, which is very conscientious. If countries really have spare money, it is not impossible to buy 500 aircraft.
After all, everyone hopes to obtain a fighter jet that is sufficient to establish an air defense network and protect our increasingly fragile logistics supply lines.
But now... everyone is really poor. Who can afford such expensive equipment? Your air force wants money for construction, but your army and navy don’t? You’ve invested so much, but you still can’t get by?
Having said that, although everyone spent 100 million gold coins to purchase Datang’s aircraft technology, there was really no one who found it too expensive.
Countries have acquired a large number of pilots with basic flying skills in the last huge purchase of aircraft technology. In the era of great development of civil aviation in the past six months, all countries have reaped the dividends of the last procurement.
This is no joke, it is precisely because everyone has hundreds of pilots that they can immediately establish a reasonably adequate civilian air transport network.
It is precisely because of the foundation of civil aviation that everyone has a lot of time left in air transportation and has also made a lot of wealth. Now it seems that the initial investment of 100 million is actually really cheap.
This is also the biggest reason why countries are not so averse to purchasing technology from Tang Dynasty: it can be proved afterwards that purchasing Datang Group’s technology and equipment has been proven to be well worth the money.
"Sir... we are really out of money this time. I will not hide from you the funds provided by the above. One plane... was only approved for 5,000 gold coins..." The representative of the Susas Empire said a little embarrassed.
There is no way, the national situation is like this. Even if it gets the dividend of Beiling and gains part of its industrial base, the Susas Empire is not yet a rich country.
Even because importing Datang Group’s products requires going through customs in other countries, they have to pay more tolls, making them even poorer.
Fortunately, they are a landlocked country and do not need to build their own navy, so they can save a lot of money and alleviate some financial pressure. In addition, he had carried out economic reforms with the help of Dandelion from the Tang Dynasty in the past few years and accumulated some wealth, so he could barely survive.
"5000? Are you kidding? Butcher fighter! The Qin State is begging us to buy it, but we haven't sold it yet!" The Datang Group salesman deliberately looked shocked.
What he said is indeed the truth, because the State of Qin did want to purchase the Butcher fighter jet, but was later rejected by the State of Tang.
The reason is that the sale of Butcher fighter jets will indeed cause huge troubles for identification of friend or foe: the identification of friend or foe system is quite imperfect these days, and in most cases it relies on visual identification of the opponent's identity.
Once the two countries use the same equipment, it will cause huge trouble for identification: even if they are not using the same equipment, they still need to be painted to increase the identification effect, not to mention the models are the same.
So the Tang State finally gave up the idea of selling Butcher fighter jets on the Western Continent, but it wanted to sell the Butcher fighter jets in its hands to other countries and finally make a fortune.
The result of the discussion is that if there is a country in the Eastern Continent that wants a butcher, it will sell it at a higher price to make room for the follow-up Liu Ye.
This is also the reason why the sales staff of Tang State in the Eastern Continent dared to agree to sell Butcher fighter jets.
"But!" Just when the other party gave up, the salesperson of Datang Group ignited hope again: "You can't afford the Butcher fighter... buy something else... maybe."
He pinched his chin and deliberately pretended to think about it: "Although the performance is a little worse, it is definitely much better than the junk you are using now... Are you interested?"
“You mean?” The representative of Susas carefully stretched out his ears and asked anxiously.
"In the early days, we were bidding for fighter jets within the Datang Empire. There were several fighter designs. In the end, we didn't compete with the Butcher... But, you know, even if the performance is slightly worse, it is still about the same, and it is enough." The salesperson came over and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, they are all good designs, more than ten times better than the **** you made up by yourselves!"
When the representative of Susas heard this, he thought for a moment: "Sir, are you saying that... the performance is not much worse than that of a butcher?"
“Stop talking, 90% of the performance will be guaranteed!” the salesperson assured. He looked around and lowered his voice: "If the pilot was more experienced, he would have at least a 40% chance of winning against the butcher!"
"Hiss..." Hearing what the other party said, the Susas representative took a breath and thought seriously.
If what the other party said is true, it is not impossible to consider it. Anyway, Susas did not consider it too much in a short period of time that the Tang Empire was a frontal enemy. The fact that the performance of the fighter jets was slightly worse was not an unacceptable fact.
Even if the surrounding countries get the Butcher fighter jets, their Susas fighter jets still have 90% of the opponent's combat effectiveness. Although they are inferior and suffer a little loss, they can still fight.
Think about it this way, this alternative... is indeed feasible.
On the other hand, the fighter jet designs that Datang Group’s sales staff said were unsuccessful were sheer nonsense.
In fact, those aircraft were designed later and specifically for export to these poor countries. Most of them are early World War II aircraft models, and their performance is about the same.
Slightly worse than butchers, but much better than those rags developed by each country. The performance of various aircraft is also different, and the difference lies in the price.
If you are poor, then buy a Japanese Type 97 fighter jet. Although the landing gear cannot be retracted and the performance is indeed not very good, it is much better than a biplane.
If you have a little more money, buy French products such as MS405 or MS406. The performance is better, but it is still not as good as the FW-190 fighter.
As for you who have more money, then study the British Hurricane fighter jet. It is durable and has excellent performance. It is a conscientious recommendation.
Of course, if customers still want more advanced fighter jets, that is not impossible: MiG-1 fighter jets and P-40 fighter jets are both good choices.
Extreme VIP customers also have the ultimate solution: Tang Jun’s own Butcher FW-190 fighter, or Spitfire, ME-109 fighter, you can also kill the Zero...
