Chapter 979 Friendship
Chapter 979 Friendship
The next morning, after Chen Changan and his group had breakfast at the hotel, the convoy sent by Prince Sultan arrived.
Xu Xiaoyan sat next to Chen Changan, holding his briefcase tightly in her hand, looking a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a negotiation. Just treat it like selling vegetables in the market.
You put the vegetables on the stall, facing the aunties who are ready to buy vegetables, will you still be nervous? "
The scene described by Chen Changan emerged in Xu Xiaoyan's mind, and he immediately became less nervous.
But then I realized, this is an arms negotiation, how can it be the same as selling vegetables in the market?
"Actually, compared to these foreigners, the aunties who buy groceries may be more difficult to deal with."
Xu Xiaoyan looked incredulous and didn't believe what Chen Changan said at all.
He had never been to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, but he still understood the difference between middle-aged and elderly aunts and foreign leaders.
However, Xu Xiaoyan was still very grateful to Chen Changan. After this joke, he was indeed not so nervous anymore.
"Thank you."
Looking at Xu Xiaoyan thanking him, Chen Changan just smiled and said nothing.
Are you kidding me? Sometimes things are just so magical.
When you face these foreign leaders, you can always find a way to control them, but sometimes when you face the middle-aged ladies who come to buy vegetables, you have no way to deal with them.
The convoy drove directly to Prince Sultan's home, which was a huge manor.
Prince Sultan brought Chen Changan and his party here, which also showed his closeness to Chen Changan.
Coming here means that Prince Sultan is entertaining Chen Changan as a friend, and it is also safer here.
Prince Sultan was waiting for Chen Changan in front of the door.
When he saw the convoy stop, he immediately came over and opened the car door himself.
"Your Excellency, you are too polite."
"No, no, no, my friend, this is what I should do. Come, I'll show you around my home."
As soon as Chen Changan walked into the room, he saw a huge deer head.
The antlers are very large and look very powerful. Next is the lion specimen and the huge Nile crocodile specimen.
Chen Changan was a little confused. He could show off, but was it really okay to keep these things in his room?
This is the aesthetic taste of foreigners. As long as you have money, you can get these things.
Or in other words, as long as you have money, you don’t have to worry about not being able to get these things with your own hands?
Our ancestors must have had good aesthetic taste. A piece of calligraphy or a painting hung in a room is what we call elegance.
As both parties sat down, Prince Sultan did not hesitate to be polite with Chen Changan and spoke directly.
"Mr. Chen, you should have noticed that the Middle East is very unstable.
Wars always break out because of one problem or another.
We are not short of money, nor do we want to participate in the war. But sometimes, it is not that we do not want to participate in the war, but the war will not come.
This time we were almost dragged into a war, but it was thanks to the weapons your country sold to us last time that our country was saved from the war.
So many years have passed, and whenever our country is about to win a war, we will launch two missiles to deter other countries. These weapons have long been exhausted.
So I hope your country can sell us some of these weapons again."
As soon as Liu the translator finished speaking, Chen Changan smiled.
Look, isn’t this easier than selling vegetables at the market?
"No problem. I can make the decision on this matter. Do you still need the original weapons, or should you replace them with the most advanced and powerful ones?
After so many years of development, our country's weapons and equipment are no longer what they used to be.
Missiles with a range of several hundred kilometers are already outdated, and the threat to neighboring countries is also very limited.
You know, our Dongfeng 3 missiles can hit... thousands of kilometers away."
Chen Changan really didn't know the specific data of this weapon. He didn't dare to make up anything. He originally wanted to say that it could hit the target within a range of tens of thousands kilometers, but in the end, Chen Changan was still conservative.
Then he turned to Xu Xiaoyan and asked.
"Help me check the specific parameters of our Dongfeng 3 missile."
Xu Xiaoyan was also a professional. He didn't even need to look up information for the data on this kind of weapon. He just spoke out immediately.
"The missile is 24 meters long and 2.25 meters in diameter. It has a range of 2500 kilometers and can carry a 2-ton warhead. It has an accuracy of meters."
Chen Changan nodded and saw that translator Liu was looking at him. He didn't know whether he wanted to translate the data or not.
"Translate for Prince Sultan. If they want to buy weapons, they must know the weapon data, right?"
After hearing what Liu the translator said, Prince Sultan's eyes lit up and he spoke quickly.
"A range of 2500 kilometers? That's enough to cover the entire Middle East.
Very good, I want this weapon, what's the price?"
Chen Changan smiled and stretched out a finger again, and Prince Sultan immediately said.
"One hundred million US dollars for one weapon? Chen, you are indeed my best friend. You are willing to sell me such a weapon at a discount.
No problem, I still want thirty this time, when are we going to trade?"
Chen Changan and Prince Sultan had a very happy chat, and both of them felt that they had made a lot of money.
Liu, the translator standing by, was also seeing a business deal like this for the first time. She confirmed the figure of 100 million several times before she dared to translate it to Chen Changan.
Xu Xiaoyan was dumbfounded. Since when could a finger represent 100 million US dollars?
Our country has mushrooms. What kind of weapon is worth 100 million US dollars each?
At this time Xu Xiaoyan finally understood that what Chen Changan said in the car before was not just to comfort herself, but was true.
After all, who not only doesn't bargain when buying vegetables, but also actively quotes a high price? It turns out that the term "big customer" is not wrong.
When asked when the money would be paid and when the goods would be delivered, Chen Changan felt a little unsure.
He had just boasted too much, and he really had no say in the matter. But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret now.
“The specific delivery time still needs to be discussed between me and the personnel at the military factory.
You should also know that this trajectory is more than 20 meters long, and I don’t know the exact production time.
But please rest assured, Prince Sultan, I will contact the military factory to work overtime after I return and try to deliver the goods as soon as possible."
Prince Sultan nodded. There was nothing wrong with what Chen Changan said. Production also takes time and only the factory can give the specific time.
Chen Changan was really his friend and he didn’t just make up a time to fool him.
Then Prince Sultan stood up, looking sincere.
"Chen, thank you very much for your honesty. I believe our friendship will be witnessed by Allah."
