Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Shortly after Ian Wright left, Bao Zixuan met an old acquaintance. Prince Sultan from Saudi Arabia, as the head of the Saudi military, will of course come to France to visit the air show. Saudi Arabia is definitely a customer that all countries in the world want to win over. When buying things, they only look at the quality and never care about the price. Moreover, even if the weapons are broken, they are rarely repaired. They are basically purchased from scratch. Such customers are impossible to find even with a lantern, and all major arms companies cherish them very much.

Bao Zixuan gave Prince Sultan a hug. This was a matter of basic etiquette. What he didn't expect was that there was another person following Prince Sultan. A closer look revealed that it was her daughter Princess Ayesha.

At this time, Mr. Bao was thinking about what this woman was doing here. But this is someone else's private matter, and it's not easy for him to interfere.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Prince Sultan, Princess Ayesha, long time no see. When did you come to France? I haven't heard you tell me before."

Prince Sultan has a good relationship with Bao Zixuan, and they often talk on the phone. Moreover, Bao Zixuan's investment in Saudi Arabia and the economic planning formulated for Saudi Arabia made the Saudi royal family very grateful. This is a person who is truly a friend of Saudi Arabia, so you must cherish him.

Sultan: "There were plans to come here before. Although Saudi Arabia wants to vigorously develop its economy, it cannot lag behind militarily. As you said, Middle Eastern countries do not have the ability to protect wealth. It will be very dangerous if this continues. This time we just need the help of France Buy some weapons and equipment at the air show.”

"I heard that you are still staying in a hotel in France. How can that be possible? I happen to have a manor in Paris, which is very close to here. If you don't dislike it, you can stay there. At least it will be more comfortable. I don't know how you kid I think, since you are so rich, you should know how to enjoy life."

The Middle Eastern royal family knows how to enjoy life very well. It is not surprising that as the third most powerful person in Saudi Arabia, he owns a manor in Paris. Bao Zixuan couldn't change for a while, so he could only slowly adapt to the life of a rich man.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. All the employees of Heiyun are here. We have a summary meeting every night. It was not very square there in the past."

Everyone must admire Mr. Bao's work attitude and enthusiasm, because he seems to have never done anything else except work every day. I have never enjoyed life before, and I don’t know why.

Looking at the young man in front of me, I was thinking about those princes and princesses in Saudi Arabia. The previous lowering of their living standards caused everyone to complain. Compared with Bao Zixuan, it's really not even a bit worse.

Prince Sultan: "Everything is up to you. I am here to give you money. Saudi Arabia must have the HH-01 Phantom fighter bomber. I believe you will not ask for an exorbitant price! In addition, I have placed the purchase order from Saudi Arabian Airlines After fighting for it, they need to add 12 more 200-seat passenger planes; these orders will be given to Heiyun Group."

Bao Zixuan was very happy to hear this. This is the benefit of helping a country. If you can get stable orders, you will become your most loyal customer.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Prince Sultan for your care. The products produced by Heiyun Group will definitely satisfy you. I don't know how many HH-01 Phantom fighter bombers Saudi Arabia wants to order."

Prince Sultan: "Having your guarantee is more important than anything else. Saudi Arabia needs 12 HH-01 Phantom fighter-bombers."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Saudi Arabia would be so awesome and order so much at once. In fact, Prince Sultan knows that the price of this aircraft is worth paying for the national security of Saudi Arabia. But even if the financial strength is okay, we don't dare to order too many at once. The maintenance cost of stealth aircraft is also terrifyingly high.

Bao Zixuan: "The price of a single HH-01 Phantom combat bomber is US$450 million, and the price of 12 aircraft and supporting equipment is US$6 billion. These must be produced in full, and my company in Xiangjiang has some problems. , which requires a large amount of funds. Your country can use the corresponding Hong Kong dollars for payment. I hope His Excellency the Prince can understand."

"As for the price of 12 919 passenger aircraft, which is US$384 million, it only needs to be paid in accordance with international regulations."

Upon hearing this price, Prince Sultan also felt that this guy was really evil, but there was currently no good solution. If an American sells it to you, the price may be more expensive. During the last Hong Kong dollar crisis, Saudi Arabia reserved a lot of Hong Kong dollars. It's a comfort to be able to use it now.

There was a good foundation for cooperation before, and Prince Sultan quickly signed the contract. This reassured Bao Zixuan a lot, at least there was no big problem with Heiyun Bank's capital reserves.

After signing the contract, Ayesha said to Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Bao, do you have time recently? If you have time, I would like to treat you to a meal. Thank you for accepting my interview last time."

After saying this, his face turned red. You must know that it is not easy for Middle Eastern girls, especially princesses, to do this.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for your kindness, Her Royal Highness. I can only wait until the terminal is over. I have to receive representatives from various countries in the past few days, so I may not be able to spare time."

Hearing Bao Zixuan's puzzled answer, Ayesha was speechless for a while. How could such a man be like this, so ignorant of a girl's thoughts? Prince Sultan just smiled and didn't say much.

But before leaving, he asked: "Saudi Arabia also wants to purchase a batch of fighter jets. Which product do you think is suitable?"

Bao Zixuan was speechless again. Why did the Middle Eastern countries buy weapons? You must know that he is the boss of Heiyun, not a consultant to a country in the Middle East. But since people are asking about your head, you have to answer it no matter what.

Bao Zixuan: "Su-27 and F-16, if the United States has problems, it can choose the Mirage 2000. Iraq also has these two models."

Prince Sultan is such a smart man, of course he knows what Bao Zixuan means. If Saudi Arabia and Iraq can exchange weapons, it will be very beneficial when war comes.

There is currently no worry about a war breaking out within Arab countries. This will not happen as long as Iran and Israel are still in the Arabian Peninsula. This is why in his previous life, Saudi Arabia did not expect that Iraq would invade Kuwait. How could brothers fight against each other when there were powerful enemies outside. Arab countries are relatively united, at least Prince Sultan thinks so.

When Prince Sultan went to the hangar where Sukhoi was located to discuss business, it went very smoothly. Although Saudi Arabia will be more inclined to the United States, it still has a lot of trade relations with the Soviet Union, of which weapons and equipment account for the majority.

And as I said before, Saudi Arabia is definitely the best customer in the world. Sukhoi did not want to let this fat sheep go, and basically agreed to any request made by Saudi Arabia. This made Prince Sultan very happy and purchased 24 Su-27 fighters directly from the Sukhoi Design Bureau.

Both Iraq and Saudi Arabia chose the Su-27, which made Sukhoi's reputation become louder. Coupled with the Su-27's beautiful fuselage, reasonable aerodynamic layout, and powerful climbing performance. It was quickly favored by most countries, and any country with purchasing needs was ready to place orders. By the end of the air show, Sukhoi had received a total of more than 200 Su-27 orders, making other companies the envy of them. At the same time, it also made the Soviets understand that they must come up with the most advanced weapons, and the customers are all experts.

The Mikoyan Design Bureau is the best example. This time they did not bring the star fighter MiG-29. Only MiG-21 and MiG-25 were brought to the exhibition.

The MiG-21 is a granddaddy fighter plane. The MiG-25 defected with the pilot. The secrets of the entire fighter plane have been studied very thoroughly by the Americans. Once it takes to the sky, it is simply a living target. Therefore, except for a few African and South American countries that have made symbolic purchases of a few aircraft, there has been no movement from other countries.

Seeing where the Sukhoi Design Bureau signed the contract, one can imagine the mood of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

Prince Sultan was not happy when he arrived at the hangar where General Dynamics was located. The Americans actually refused to give him face. By directly rejecting the purchase contract from Saudi Arabia, it is really as if General Dynamics is the only one in the world that can produce aircraft.

Prince Sultan came to Dassault and directly placed an order for 60 Mirage 2000 fighters with Dassault. He also stated that this is still the first batch. If the Mirage 2000 can meet the usage requirements, Saudi Arabia plans to order more than 300 of this type of fighters in the future.

This made General Dynamics' executives regret that they would push such a good customer away. I don’t know what the person in charge at the scene does for food, but Iraq is easy to understand. How could a customer like Saudi Arabia be offended? The most important thing was that Prince Sultan came to negotiate the purchase contract in person. Without giving this face, how will General Dynamics develop its market in the Middle East in the future?

After learning that the person in charge of the site was Jewish, the General Dynamics board of directors immediately dismissed him from all positions. It's okay to help your own nation, but you can't harm the company's interests. This is a red line. Don't you know who pays you!
