Chapter 134 Big business!
"Li Lin, how much does it cost to sell for your camel fighter?" I have to say that the emperor was indeed moved.
"We are currently selling for £30,000 per plane," Li Lin said.
This price is a good price he had considered before.
"What? Thirty thousand pounds per plane! This is too expensive." The emperor frowned.
Not only him, but even Capri and others were stunned when they heard the translator's words.
Apparently the price exceeded their expectations!
"His Majesty Dehuang, please listen to my explanation. This aircraft is a high-tech product. In order to develop it, we invested millions of pounds in research and development, and 30,000 pounds per aircraft. This is a very low price. This is the price of our friendship!" Li Lin said lying with his eyes open.
If there are no design drawings, it is really not possible to develop them if you don’t invest millions of pounds.
However, the development of design drawings is different. This is not called development, at most it is considered a copy.
Research and development is what starts from scratch!
"Has several million pounds been invested?" The emperor was half-believing and half-doubted.
To be honest, no matter whether the other party has invested so much, he still thinks it is still too expensive.
"If it is so expensive, we can't buy much. In this way, I plan to purchase ten aircraft first." Dehuang was smart. He planned to buy the plane back, take it apart, and spend money to make the scientists on his side imitate it.
Wouldn't it be beautiful to have it yourself in the future?
"Ten? Too few. If we buy so few, we don't plan to sell it. After all, after selling the plane to you, it almost means that the technology has leaked. At least 100 of them will be sold!" Li Lin shook his head and refused.
At present, Deguo's industrial level is very high, and the R&D personnel behind it are also very powerful.
To be honest, once the plane is sold to the other party, within five years, the other party will definitely be able to copy it, and it may even be able to develop more advanced planes in the future.
This is the capital of a country's strong industrial strength.
Of course, when I get here, someone will ask again. Since selling airplanes is equivalent to leaking technology, then the weapons business will be a big deal in the future!
Actually, it is not the case.
Real weapons companies make money without war, and they sell big orders. Suddenly, a certain army wants to change their clothes and purchase their orders of hundreds of millions of dollars in one go.
If you buy some of the most advanced weapons and equipment alone, they will definitely not sell them!
If it is really different during war times, you don’t have time to develop the most advanced weapons after you buy them. If you have time to develop them, you may not be able to keep up with the energy!
If mass production can keep up, your raw materials may not be able to supply them.
Just like Deguo in his previous life.
There are many advanced weapons, and they even began to crush many enemies.
But why are weapons becoming less and less enough as you fight?
Even many troops' machine guns are equipped with machine guns from World War I?
The reason is that like the g34 machine gun, the mass production of g42 machine gun cannot keep up with your losses, its steel raw materials cannot be supplied, and it cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, because your transportation route has been attacked and there is no raw material, so it is a ghost to mass production.
In this way, under this situation, it is time for the weapon company to make a fortune.
Let go of the inventory and come to me to buy it. What? The inventory is gone? My production line is full of energy. Come on, come and buy my. If you don’t come to me to buy it, you have no place to buy it.
How many weapons do you have to destroy in a big battle? The weapons that a country's inventory and full production are not enough to consume!
So this is how it was made a fortune for Mao and the United States in World War II.
Not only did it be cleared up, but it also made a lot of money in production.
The reason is that it can be produced with full firepower. It is not short of raw materials. Because the war has not burned them, it can produce safely and steadily.
Are the weapons of Britain, France, and others not advanced?
Are their aircraft not advanced enough?
But can you keep producing steadily? Can your production keep up with the loss on the battlefield? Can't keep up with it? Sorry, I can only purchase it outside.
The same is true for the country. As the battle is fought, it becomes a war of attrition. It depends on who has the continuous resources, whose weapons can be continuously produced, and whose comprehensive strength is stronger!
It’s not that some of your weapons are more advanced, you can win this battle!
I have many people and many weapons. If 10 planes fight to death, you will be very troubled.
Of course, except for mushroom eggs!
"100?" Dehuang frowned even deeper after hearing this.
That's 3 million pounds, which is almost the cost of a battleship!
"There are too many, how about 60 aircraft? I like this aircraft very much. If we buy it back, I will definitely purchase it in the future." Dehuang started to argue.
"No, no, no, 60 aircraft are still too few, at least 70 aircraft!" Li Lin shook his head.
In the end, the two sides started a fierce dispute.
Li Lin is not a waste of business talk!
At worst, I won’t sell it!
When they really need it, they still have to buy their own plane.
"Your Majesty, it's not interesting to remove this way. It's better to do this. If you help me with my other weapons business, I'm willing to sell 50 aircraft to you," Li Lin said.
"50?" Dehuang's heart moved after hearing this.
If he buys 50, he can still accept it.
Half less than 100 aircraft.
"I don't know what other weapons are you?"
"Machine guns, new cannons, and pistols! Of course, I believe that after you see these weapons of me, you will definitely be interested." Li Lin said confidently.
"Oh? Then I really want to see it." Dehuang smiled.
In the afternoon, Li Lin took a few machine guns, several mortars and pistols to the barracks near Berlin.
Soon, Li Lin showed Dehuang and others the power of machine guns, mortars, pistols and other weapons.
I have to say that this air-cooled machine gun, coupled with it alone, is indeed very advanced.
The same is true for mortars. This new small cannon directly refreshed the three views of Dehuang and others!
"I didn't expect that this machine gun is more advanced in design than the Maxim heavy machine gun, and it can be operated by 2 people, and the same is true for this cannon. Two people can be operated by 2 people. It is really very advanced in design." The emperor praised it.
Even that pistol, Dehuang couldn't let go of it.
In the end, Dehuang planned to purchase 200 mortars, 300,000 shells, 500 machine guns, 1 million bullets, 30,000 pistols, and 300,000 bullets!
The price of a pistol is 10 pounds per pistol, and the price of a pistol bullet is 50 pounds per thousand rounds. The price of bullets is indeed a little expensive, because it has not been invented for many years now, and the cost of bullets is still relatively expensive. In a few years, the cost of bullets will become cheaper.
There is a total order of £2.68 million!
The 50 aircraft are £4.5 million, and the total is £7.18 million order!
