Chapter 252: Daxia dares to sell this thing? Breaking price! Billion-dollar order!

On the 12.3th.

Zhu City, Guangnan Province, is a scenic coastal city.

There was a bustling scene inside the hall, with foreigners of all skin colors crowded inside and outside the entire venue.

There are white people who look at the people around them with arrogance, and there are also dark-skinned African chiefs covered with gold and silver jewelry.

As a very rare arms foreign trade exhibition in Daxia, more than dozens of countries are willing to give their respect and participate in this expo.

However, although today is the first day of the opening ceremony, there was no crowding.

After all, this is not a grand festival or a celebration, but an activity mainly aimed at the global arms trade.

Apart from some military fans who pay special attention to relevant information and come here to visit, the vast majority of foreign visitors come for one purpose, which is to buy the new weapons exhibited by various countries or to negotiate arms business.

Even local residents probably haven't heard what festival is opening today. They just feel that there are a lot of foreigners on the streets during this period.

At this moment, in a room in the exhibition hall.

"Lao Li, this negotiation is now in your hands." Zhang Yuli's voice came over the phone, and he immediately ordered, "If you can't decide on the price, report to me immediately."

"Okay, I understand." Li Yunshan nodded and hung up the phone.

Naturally, the foreign trade work of the "Scorpion Long-Range Cargo Aircraft" was not discussed by Zheng Lixing or Zhang Yuli, but by him, the director of the 732 Military Factory.

After all, Xiake Institute does not produce and sell weapons and equipment, so it would be a bit awkward for Zhang Yuli and others to come forward.

After all, it is extremely incongruous for two people, one is the president of Daxia Academy of Sciences, and the other is an academic leader in ballistic missiles, to appear here.

Just like the sale of J-10 fighter jets, it is impossible for Song Qinyi, the head of the 611 Institute, to negotiate, because although this institute is responsible for the development of fighter jets, its full name is the 611 Design Institute of Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

As the head of the 732 Military Factory, Li Yunshan also has the authority to negotiate.

When he walked into the exhibition hall, this "International Arms Trade Expo" had just begun, and the vast exhibition hall welcomed waves of "guests".

At this moment.

Ahmed Hassan walked straight up to Li Yunshan and started to pester him. It was not the first time they met, so there was no need for them to be overly polite.

"Director Li, I wonder how much you are willing to sell the 'Scorpion Long-Range UAV' we need?"

He had just learned that Daxia had handed over the sales of the "long-range unmanned bomber" to Li Yunshan for processing.

This is even more of a headache for the ambassador. You know, compared to senior scientific research personnel such as Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, he dislikes dealing with old foxes in the military industry like Li Yunshan.

In the distance, Saudi Ambassador Abdul also hurried over: "We need it too."

The anxious look on his face was as if he was afraid that the two men would abandon them in private negotiations.

However, Li Yunshan still maintained the same attitude: "No hurry. Ambassadors, we will discuss it in detail later when the 'exhibition' is underway."

Seeing his unhurried attitude, the two ambassadors next to him became even more anxious.

There's no point in discussing it in detail. By the time all the orders have been snapped up, you'll be scolded when you go back.

at the same time.

Inside the entire 'International Expo Hall', a seemingly ordinary audience member was looking around curiously.

He looked to be in his thirties, with a valuable camera hanging around his neck, revealing his identity as a "military fan". He did not attract any attention in the entire huge exhibition hall.

"The scene is really big. It's almost the same size as it will be 20 years later." Lu Ze sighed secretly while controlling the 'puppet'.

After all, this kind of event can be considered a grand occasion, how can he be absent?
If any top-tech weapons appear here, he can also find an opportunity to copy them.

However, Lu Ze actually didn't have much hope for such a wonderful thing.

After all, it is impossible to bring your own treasures to the air show. For example, how dare the Eagle bring the real B-2 bomber all the way to Daxia for the exhibition? Isn't he afraid of any accidents?
Even if it is really brought to the exhibition, at most people will only be given a 1:1 model aircraft for display, and it is not a real aircraft at all.

Even so.

“At least I can see if there is anything I missed.” Lu Ze was still muttering.

It doesn't matter even if I just join in the fun. After all, the 'doll' just happens to need to transfer here to fly to Europe and stay in Daxia for a few days.

His next real goal is to have the puppet take the 'bionic robot' to Europe for deployment. He is very interested in many 'high-tech products' in Europe.

Suddenly, the puppet saw a strange-looking "armored vehicle". Its tail was like a cubic box, and it was being exhibited at a 45-degree angle.

Although the whole picture was not revealed, Lu Ze still guessed who this person was at a glance, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "Is Daxia's research and development speed so fast?"

"How could they come up with something like this in such a short time? And they even want to sell it overseas?"

According to his previous judgment, it would take Daxia at least two years to achieve this step. How long did it take to achieve this progress?
Even if this may only be experimental, it is enough to be terrifying.

He frowned and thought, "I guess it's because of the top-notch industrial equipment I've been providing that the research and development time can be greatly advanced?"

Not only because of the successful breakthrough in top-level industrial equipment, but also because of the complete technical route he provided.

The combination of the two led to the release of this "super killer" several years ahead of schedule.

"It seems that I need to speed up a bit." Lu Ze couldn't help but mutter.

If Daxia's research and development speed is faster than his speed in copying technology, it would be a huge loss of face.

At this moment.

More and more exhibitors focused their attention on the Daxia Ordnance Group exhibition area, which was the least noticed.

Seeing more and more people gathering, many people rushed over with curiosity.

After all, it would be fine if Daxia Aviation Industry Group attracted attention. Whether it is the J-20 or the J-22, or even the latest stealth strategic bomber, which one of them is not a hot topic among military fans around the world? It is natural that it attracts attention.

However, Daxia Ordnance Group has been basically known for selling cheap weapons with extremely high cost performance. Even most of its trade is composed of light weapons. Even if it exhibits its latest developed Type 08 armored vehicle or Type 099A main battle tank, they are not very popular in the international market and naturally will not attract much attention.

But now this is out of character, how can we not be curious?

However, after they finally squeezed into the dense crowd, what they saw was not a new tank, armored vehicle, or even an air defense system, but an airplane?
[Scorpion unmanned commercial cargo aircraft] "The long-range version has a range of 3500 kilometers, a payload of 1.5 tons, and a maximum take-off weight of 4.5 tons."

"The high-load version has a payload of 2.5 tons, a range of 1500 kilometers, and a maximum take-off weight of 5.5 tons."

Looking at this set of data, several exhibitors' company representatives nearby were full of disbelief: "Hey, you guys in Daxia sell this stuff?"

Everyone became more and more confused, and the shock in their pupils became more and more intense. Finally, they understood why so many people were standing there in a daze.

This is called a cargo drone? Explain to me what a cargo drone is.

It seems that the performance can only be described as average. How can a "commercial" aircraft have a range of only 1500 kilometers and a load capacity of more than two tons?

Not to mention being compared with regular transport planes and civil aircraft, even when compared with helicopters in terms of load capacity, it has no advantage at all.

If a normal commercial company wants to transport goods, who the hell would buy this thing? Is it because they think it's too expensive?

However, this is obviously not the main reason. Everyone stared at the word "no one", and many people at the scene took a deep breath, making a significant contribution to global warming!

A drone cargo plane? Just looking at the reserved missile mounting positions on its exterior, are you sure this is for commercial use?

Your business warfare method is not a serious competition, but directly using missiles to bombard other people's headquarters buildings, right?

However, these people no longer care and are too lazy to worry about what it should be called.

"How much does this drone cost?" Some people are eager to know the answer.

If the selling price of this kind of drone is not too high, its competitiveness can be said to be quite strong.

You should know that the Eagle MQ-9 drone of the same weight and size has a range of only 1600 kilometers, and its payload is only more than kilograms.

This model uses a high-load configuration, which is several times the load capacity of the MQ-9 UAV and has the same range. How much does it cost?
If it were cheap, it would undoubtedly become a groundbreaking super weapon.

[As a cargo aircraft, this drone can provide domestic or intercontinental delivery capabilities. ]

[At the same time, it can adapt to various harsh conditions and carry out various modular modifications and adjustments to cope with the ever-changing "air transport" transportation market. ]

On the display screen next to it, the powerful effects of this "drone" are constantly being described.

No one believed Daxia's statement at all.

Air transport? Do you mean dropping missiles under someone's door?

However, Ahmed Hassan, who was standing outside the crowd, listened to the explanations and introductions attentively, and even took notes from time to time. After all, every point was very important!
"Modular adjustment??"

"Dealing with an 'unpredictable' environment? Why didn't I think of that?" The surprise in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Yes, why do they in Persia treat this thing as a simple unmanned bomber?
What could be more suitable as a reconnaissance aircraft than a long-endurance drone that can fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters?

Even with a little modification, it can be used as an anti-reconnaissance drone, and when necessary, it can act as a bomber to perform cost-effective missions.

Just let it conduct reconnaissance and collect intelligence first, and then release all missiles to bomb the enemy's valuable targets.

There is no need to return and self-destruct on the spot. This is its greatest value.

Even according to the US$5 million per aircraft order price given by Daxia before, it would be a good deal as long as it destroyed a valuable target, not to mention that it often destroyed several tanks and armored vehicles in one round of air strikes.

He whispered to Li Yunshan, "Director Li, we in Persia want to order some extra. I wonder what the official price of this 'long-range cargo plane' is from your 732 Military Factory?"

"We are the friendliest trading partners..." Hassan added.

The previous time was just the pre-order price, and the actual selling price has never been revealed by Daxia.

"It's the same in Saudi Arabia!" Abdul quickly added.

Hear the words.

"The regular price is 650 million US dollars, but I can give you a discount to 450 million US dollars." Li Yunshan smiled slightly.

This price is not high, it can even be described as cheap.

The Eagle Sauce's MQ-9 drone is also sold for foreign trade. That thing costs to million US dollars, and its performance is very poor.

As for the Global Hawk, although its performance is better than that of the "Scorpion UAV", its price is more than 100 million US dollars, which is enough to buy a fifth-generation aircraft.

Therefore, when hearing the offer, Persian Ambassador Hassan said decisively: "We Persians want to order one thousand, no, one thousand five hundred!"

Four and a half million US dollars per aircraft, and a mere 1500 aircraft would only cost less than seven billion US dollars, which is an absurdly cheap price.

At this price, it is estimated that it would cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars to launch a few interceptor missiles from a cruise missile. As for the terminal high-altitude interception air defense missile, it would cost millions of US dollars each.

"We in Saudi Arabia need a thousand." Abdul seemed afraid that he would be forgotten.

"Okay, don't worry." Li Yunshan laughed and was in no hurry to sign the contract.

The combined order value from these two countries alone exceeds 10 billion US dollars. The key point is that this is not a one-time deal.

If a Scorpion drone is damaged, it will cost money to repair it, right? If the micro cruise missiles it carries are to be made by Daxia, that will also cost money, right?
Even various module modifications, such as installing reconnaissance functions, etc., also cost money, and it is a continuous source of money.

However, this time, their 732 Military Factory is not only going to take away an order worth billion US dollars, but much more!

"Look at the next equipment. I believe you will be satisfied." Li Yunshan pointed to the vehicle in the center of the exhibition hall that had not been noticed.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Abdul and the other two ambassadors frowned.

Why does this look like a rocket launcher at first glance?

The key is things like rocket launchers, which are not lacking in either Persia or Saudi Arabia.

"No, this is not a rocket launcher." Li Yunshan took over the conversation and shook his head, motioning and saying, "This is the latest product developed by our 732 Military Factory."

"'Beehive' cluster drone attack system!"

All we saw was that the tail of the launch vehicle was slightly opened, revealing its densely packed pipe openings, with more than dozens of drones stored inside, showing their dazzling edge under the light.
