Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

With the endorsement of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, things will be much easier to handle. Moreover, Kuwait has paid more than 10 billion US dollars to Heiyun, so it doesn't matter if it's a little advance. You won’t suffer any loss, and you can even earn a commission. Although I don't care about this small amount of money, no one will dislike having more money.

After Bao Zixuan made a call, Heiyun's branch in the Soviet Union began to open the safe; large sums of cash were paid to people in the interest chain. The payment for the goods was paid directly to the Soviet Ministry of Defense. The US$1.5 billion remittance arrived, and the Soviet Ministry of Defense was very satisfied. This is an extra-budgeted benefit. It seems like it would be nice to have more of this kind of thing.

Everyone has benefited, and the work efficiency must be very high. The commander of the Turkmen garrison was promoted by Ustinov, and he received huge benefits this time. Personally arrange train shipments and mobilize training staff.

The Soviet soldiers were crazy happy when they heard that they could go to Kuwait for training. Going abroad for training can bring you many benefits and even extra income. People who don’t have good relationships and don’t have strong skills really don’t have a chance. The salary of officers and soldiers in the Soviet Union is average. A trip abroad may be equivalent to several years of income. Who doesn't want to make more money.

The pilot really couldn't bear to part with the Su-27 fighter jet. After all, he had only just flown it. But after all, it is an order from the Ministry of National Defense, and no one dares to disobey it. And you can also go to Kuwait, so you won’t have any complaints.

The Soviets were very fast, and all weapons and equipment had arrived at the Kuwaiti military camp in two days. This is definitely a miracle in the history of world arms trade. It can be said that it has never been done before, and it will be difficult for anyone to do so in the future.

As for the communication equipment purchased in the United States, it was also extremely fast. Because they were not controlled, they were quickly released. Kuwait directly hired Lei Xuan Express to transport two ground-effect aircraft directly from the United States to the Middle East.

A series of operations that are dazzling. Although the Americans have many agents in the Middle East, they did not expect that the Soviets were so efficient, and even the Kuwaitis were so effective.

We have already had experience in modifying Soviet-made tanks, and with Soviet tank crews and maintenance personnel coming to help, the efficiency has naturally improved a lot. Although the Soviet tank crews were a little reluctant to remove their own tank communication systems, optical equipment, and infrared headlights and replace them with American equipment. But the daily subsidy of 200 US dollars makes it difficult to express any complaints.

Lester is the CIA's regional director in Kuwait. He also closely monitors Bao Zixuan's arrival, including the arrival of the Soviets. I just wanted to collect the information and report it to the country. But who would have thought that the three parties would be so fast. Soviet weapons and equipment have arrived in Kuwait, along with a large number of Soviet soldiers. Could it be that coming forward to stop it at this time would definitely provoke conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union, but he didn't have the guts.

In the past investigation, we will not say whether Kuwait will agree to it. It’s strange that the Soviet Union agreed. Even if they wanted to see the Su-27 fighter jets up close, they had to wait until the Soviets left.

Even if the Soviets came to open it, Kuwait would not agree. After all, they had to guard against Israel in case it was leaked; no one could explain it clearly.

After everything was settled, the King of Kuwait announced: "In view of the current tensions in the Middle East, in line with the idea of ​​being responsible for the country and protecting the security of its citizens. The Kuwait Ministry of National Defense purchased a total amount of 64.8 from the Soviet Union, the American Motorola Company, and the Xiangjiang Heiyun Group. billions of dollars in weapons and equipment.”

"It also stated that Kuwait's purchase of weapons and equipment is not for external expansion; it is just a plan to protect itself in the event of war."

King Jaber's speech shocked the whole world.

The richest man Bao is really non-stop, bringing traffic wherever he goes. The Kuwaiti army only has 20,000 people, but it actually deceived others into buying more than 6 billion US dollars in arms. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do it. It seems that when it comes to doing business, you really need to learn from others.

Upon hearing the news that Kuwait had chosen Su-27 fighter jets, McDonald smashed the ornaments on his desk to pieces. And reported the matter to the Pentagon. The competition for fighter jets is so fierce now. Kuwait found them first because the military did not agree. As a result, orders are lost, and the U.S. military's procurement profits are limited. Why not let other countries purchase it?

There is not enough profit; how can the company survive relying solely on U.S. government funding and military purchases? Looking at the advanced weapons of the United States, they are not irreplaceable. The Soviet Union and France are their main competitors, and now the Black Cloud Group has caught up. When political issues are involved at this time, the arms companies will have no room for survival.

McDonnell Douglas is definitely not alone. It immediately received responses from Boeing, Northrop, and Lockheed. Normally they are competitors, but this matter involves everyone's common interests; they cannot stay away and watch the excitement.

The United States is in a state of panic, trying to prevent McDonnell Douglas from selling fighter jets to Kuwaiti military officers. Being directly expelled from the military can be said to ruin your future.

It is true to help compatriots, but it cannot be so obvious; it must not harm the core interests of domestic companies. Kuwait can be regarded as the obedient little brother of the United States in the Middle East. They want to purchase weapons and equipment; but they are directly excluded, even if they pretend to be. And even if the weapons are sold to Kuwait, it doesn't matter much. Could they still threaten U.S. interests?

Of course, if it weren't for the Soviet Union's strong intervention and huge profits, the Americans would not be in such an atmosphere. The orders he lost were in vain an advantage to the enemy. It’s hard to imagine how harmful this situation will be.

What makes McDonald even more angry is that Kuwait directly announced that it will gradually phase out the fighter jets produced by McDonnell Douglas in the future, and will not purchase any weapons and equipment produced by the company in the future.

Although Kuwait is only a small country, its financial resources cannot be ignored. In addition, the price of exported weapons is much higher than that purchased by the US military, and the profit is at least three times that of domestic sales, or even higher. If one country is like this, what if other countries follow suit? Even if McDonnell Douglas doesn't go bankrupt, it probably won't live very comfortably.

The domestic arms giants in the United States putting pressure on the military and Congress are their internal affairs, and Bao Zixuan has no control over them. At this time, Heiyun Group engineers were modifying the tank with maintenance personnel from the Soviet Union.

As the boss, he does not need to participate in specific work, but he still needs to participate in the coordination work between the royal family and the Soviet Union. Bao Shaofu also realized that this time he would definitely offend the Americans very much, and even Little Macdonald had some objections to him.

However, now Xiao MacDonald does not dare to fall out with Heiyun Group. After all, the cooperation projects between the two parties will continue.

McDonald Jr. called and asked him to communicate with the Kuwaiti side to see if they could ease the situation. At the same time, he also said that not everyone can threaten and sanction U.S. companies, at least Kuwait does not yet have that strength.

Hearing the threat in the plea, Bao Zixuan was not polite and responded directly. At the same time, let Xiao MacDonald understand that this is a matter between McDonnell Douglas and Kuwait. As a friend, I have recommended McDonnell Douglas; if you yourself are unwilling to sell, can you blame me?

At the same time, it has been agreed before that Kuwait Airways will purchase ultra-large passenger aircraft jointly developed by four companies; now due to McDonnell Douglas, the order has changed. If problems arise as a result, you should still be cautious in future cooperation.

Little Macdonald felt incredible when he heard that Bao Zixuan was already promoting a passenger aircraft that had not been successfully developed. In the past, when McDonnell Douglas developed new products, customers would definitely pay attention to them for a long time before placing an order. Unexpectedly, Bao Zixuan was already negotiating the contract, maybe this was the gap.

Unlike McDonald Jr.'s anger, Robert Galvin called specifically to express his gratitude. The Kuwaitis relied on unreasonable bidding to obtain communication equipment as quickly as possible.

Although Motorola only sold a few hundred devices this time, it successfully opened up the Kuwait market and will set up a branch in Kuwait in the future. All this is thanks to Bao Zixuan, who is indeed a good friend.

When Bao Zixuan talked about the order for super large passenger aircraft, Robert Calvin was also very excited. I know the virtues of the U.S. military, but I also understand that as long as McDonnell Douglas insists on its reasons, there are still some opportunities; it is McDonnell Jr. who is not capable.

It is too late to say this now. I just hope that Kuwait will not do anything wrong and involve cooperation projects.

This time the Soviets were definitely proud and proud. This was the first time they had successfully defeated an American company. Not only did it add new customers, but it also made the world feel that as long as the Soviet Union was serious, it could still accomplish something.
