Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

#136 - Chapter 136 It's just a scare tactic, it doesn't matter if it's true or not

"Deceiving customers? Where did I deceive them? I've always been talking about thermobaric bombs," Qin Yang said. "When did I ever mention mushroom clouds? If it were a mushroom cloud, would it only sell for ten million US dollars apiece? That thing would cost at least hundreds of millions, right?"

That's right, Qin Yang had never explicitly stated what he was selling. Even if he were selling Dongfeng-3 missiles, Qin Yang never directly said it. Instead, he cleverly used hints, only saying it was a 'Lion Brand' air rifle with a range of three hundred, but an error of two thousand five hundred. He kept hinting to the customer until he brought them to see this super-sized air rifle, and the customer's fantasies accurately aligned with reality.

Now, Qin Yang says that it can create a mushroom-like weapon of mass destruction when it rises, so the customer will definitely imagine a mushroom cloud. Who would have thought it would be a thermobaric bomb?

However, Qin Yang still pays attention to propriety in business. These special warheads only cost ten million apiece. Even if the other party buys ten, it's only a hundred million, which isn't considered price gouging, but rather a fair price for the goods.

As for asking for half of the funds, that's also unavoidable. After all, it's impossible to take it all. How could the higher-ups support that? Even half might not be approved by the higher-ups.

"Alright, I will report your words verbatim to the higher-ups. If anything goes wrong in the future, you'll have to take responsibility."

Qin Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. This kind of weapon of mass destruction is only brought out to flex muscles at critical moments and won't really be used."

How many mushroom clouds are there in the world? Except for the two dropped on the Japanese devils when they were first developed, have they been used since then? Of course not. Even during the most intense period of the Cold War, nuclear bombs were never actually dropped on the other side's territory. At most, a test launch was conducted. This thing is brought out to scare people.

Since it's for scaring people, there's no difference whether it contains a mushroom cloud or something that looks very similar to a mushroom cloud.

With this proposal, Director Dong went to report to his superiors. After hearing about this unexpected interlude, the higher-ups didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"This Qin Yang is too outrageous!"

"Yes, if this gets out, our military industry's reputation will be ruined!"

"Secretary Song, can we agree to this request?"

Secretary Song had been pondering. It wasn't until everyone had finished complaining and started asking him that he finally spoke: "This Qin Yang has too big of an appetite. We can't agree to it."

Everyone knew that Secretary Song would definitely not go along with Qin Yang's nonsense! However, Secretary Song took a sip of water and continued, "Old Dong, you go tell Qin Yang tomorrow that this deal can be done, but we have to take ninety percent, leaving them with ten percent for the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory! This deal has nothing to do with us; it goes through their Capital Agricultural Tool Factory's contract."

What? Director Dong's eyes widened.

Director Fang and Director Han exchanged glances, both understanding Secretary Song's meaning.

They're still short on money! If they sell an extra ten missiles, they can get an extra 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange! The country is too short on foreign exchange!

Anyway, Qin Yang will take the blame. When the contract is signed, this batch of special warheads will be supplied by the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory! Let them go to the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory to settle the score! And the ten million given to the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory must be exchanged for domestic currency, and the foreign exchange will be directly intercepted.

"Okay, I'll go back and convey the instructions to Qin Yang," Director Dong nodded.

"This is also for his own good. Today, he wants to sell this special warhead. Didn't you express your dissatisfaction? They also saw this attitude, which creates an opportunity for Qin Yang," Secretary Song added.

Everyone sighed inwardly, realizing that dealing with someone like Qin Yang required Secretary Song's approach!

On October 4th, when Qin Yang was having breakfast with his guests at the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory, he leisurely said, "Gentlemen, the higher-ups disagree with what I discussed yesterday."

"Disagree? Well, we can understand that," Lideha put down his fried dough stick, his face a little gloomy.

"Yes, it's difficult to obtain this kind of weapon of mass destruction. It's already very good if we can reach an agreement on that Lion Brand air rifle," Alwaleed also nodded.

When they had the idea of buying ballistic missiles, they first went to the United States, but the other party simply wouldn't sell them! Looking at the whole world, only the East was willing to sell to them, which was already very rare.

Looking at the disappointed eyes of everyone, Qin Yang continued, "However, we are friends, and I know your needs, so of course, I will do my best. At my repeated requests, the higher-ups have agreed to a new plan."

Everyone's eyes lit up: "Qin, what's the plan? Tell us quickly!"

"These two deals will be signed separately. This special warhead will be signed directly with our Capital Agricultural Tool Factory, and the price will still be the original price, and the quantity is up to you."

"Signed with you? Is there any difference?" Alwaleed was a little curious.

"Our Capital Agricultural Tool Factory operates independently. The products we export are the responsibility of our factory and have nothing to do with our country," Qin Yang explained simply.

The two nodded: "Okay, in that case, we have no problem signing the agreement separately. We want ten!"

The deal was concluded.

"Qin, I need to go back and report to my country. During this time, leave my son here to walk around and see," After finishing the meal, Lideha finally made up his mind. He couldn't wait any longer.

Now that everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and everything that needed to be seen had been seen, it was of course time to go back.

"Yes, I am also very happy," Alwaleed said, "Can we see the warplanes produced by your company? Have you made any improvements according to what we said last time?"

"Some of them have already been improved. Everyone, please follow me to see the avionics equipment introduced from Marconi Company," Old Tu was also prepared.

After the change occurred during the last negotiation, Old Tu went to travel with Qin Yang, stood up the British, and when he came back, the other party finally compromised and followed the requirements put forward by the Chinese side.

The contract was signed in June this year, and the first batch of six million pounds has also been transferred to Marconi Company's account. Now, they have sent the prototype.

This is also the most advanced equipment on the J-7, and even the Air Force has never equipped it!
