Chapter 686 Small gadgets big killer
"To make money, it is the king of foreign trade. Thank God, thank the Americans, they don't come to this moment in the Persian Gulf, and we DSM don't know when we will make a profit." Dong Feng, who was so excited that he almost forgot his surname, said to Duke with a contract and smirked.
"Duke, we must seize this opportunity that is rare in a thousand years and make some foreign trade versions of drones, tanks, etc., and take advantage of the Persians not even paying attention to the price, and then we will not have to worry about food and drink for several years. Now, as long as we sell them, we can exchange everything here for green US dollars."
No wonder Dong Feng was so excited. After several large orders in Persians, DSM suddenly saw the dawn of making big money, the order for the JF-11 fighter jet of 6 billion US dollars, and the order for the surveillance system of unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft of 2 billion US dollars. DSM suddenly achieved sales of nearly 4 billion US dollars (the fighter jets share the same share as Chengfei and 611).
These things are high. The gross profits of JF-10P and J-10P fighters are estimated to be at least 60%. The unmanned stealth fighter monitoring system is as high as 90%. This thing sells exclusive and high-tech products. There are no exclusive products in the world now, and others cannot provide similar products at all. Therefore, the Persians found it useful after trial and had no objection to the sales price quoted by DSM.
In other words, DSM is equivalent to gaining a gross profit of 3 billion US dollars. Although fighter jets are still selling futures, there is basically no suspense about DSM turning losses into a money-making company in recent years, which makes Dong Feng, who has a heavy profit-making pressure, finally relieved. Speaking of which, military products are the real huge profit-making products. If they can be sold, compared to mobile phones and TVs, military-supply products make money even faster.
Now that he has money in his hands, Dong Feng's heart has suddenly become at ease, and his ambition has also grown a lot.
"Take it down, madman, do you think you can sell so much arms anytime and anywhere, and you can sell it casually if you are a carrot or cabbage." Compared to Dong Feng's excitement, Duke was quite calm about this unexpected surprise. On the one hand, although he did not have the pressure to make a profit, and on the other hand, he was very confident that DSM would develop a new product.
"If it weren't for the Persian War, you thought the Persians would have been full and bought so many things at once. Besides, there are very few countries like Persia that have both demand, payment ability, and are in line with national military and diplomacy. It's hard to say whether there are three or five of them after counting them. To put it bluntly, we just had good luck this time, and happened to have a ride on the free ride that the country was about to help the Persians."
As the leading chief expert in the military industry, Duke now has a very high level of intelligence sharing in the country's military dynamics. After all, the hole he is responsible for must figure out what the military's current most important needs are in order to develop marketable equipment.
Super big orders like the Persians were also the first huge breakthrough in the sales of PLA weapons in decades. In addition to Pakistan, few other countries purchased more than one billion US dollars of main combat equipment. One by one, countries with the strength to buy were not favored by our foreign trade products. Countries that looked down on our foreign trade products usually had no purchasing power. A business worth hundreds of millions of US dollars was considered a big business.
If the Persians hadn't been able to buy it with money this time, they would have come to us. The things we sold were quite successful, withstanding the actual test and achieving brilliant results. Duke and Dong Feng would also have to thank Lieutenant General Walker for sending a squadron to the Persian hinterland, giving the Xiaolong a squadron a chance to encircle and annihilate it.
Such an opportunity is probably rare to encounter once in a hundred years. It is too rare for a third world country to annihilate a complete fighter squadron of the US military at one time, and the Persians basically cannot have such an opportunity. Even if the US military only mobilizes the US troops to attack in Iraq and the Gulf, it will not give the Persians such an opportunity.
What's more, if there is no large-scale war in the world, the entire open arms market in the world will be about 70 to 80 billion US dollars every year. Among them, Americans usually take more than half of it according to convention. This situation will not be reversed with the huge purchases of Persians. You should know that the weapons of developed countries are now basically mainly American and European weapons. Only the three Indians will use the Wanguo Card on a large scale, making their logistics complex and huge.
So Duke knew that Dong Feng was a little whimsical.
"What's more, our drones are mainly used in ground troops' combat. Before we clear the Persian air threat and basically paralyze the Persian command system, the US military will not send ground forces to attack. If the ground war cannot be fought, you can't sell tactical drones to support local reconnaissance on ground operations, you can't think of selling them to the Persian army as much as possible. The main threat they are facing now is air."
Although DSM is now at the world's advanced level in terms of drones, the PLA obviously does not know how to take out because of the two killing weapons of Shadow and Terminator. The remaining two small and medium-sized tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, Jingwei and Winglong, are usually used for frontier tactical reconnaissance of the army. If the US military does not intend to launch a ground attack, the Persians will have no use when holding this thing, and it is better to buy some ground-to-air defense missiles.
Therefore, even if Duke improves and produces products that can be used for foreign trade, the Persians will not look down on it, and will not be equipped in large quantities.
"Then the tanks are always needed, right? According to the information I have seen, the Persian main battle tanks are quite old, mainly the old third-rate tanks of T-54/T-55 and T-59, as well as the two largest second-rate tanks of T-72 tanks and the domestic Zolfikar. These tanks are simply vulnerable compared to our 99S tanks. We created a simplified version of the 99S with a drone and was not quite ideal." Seeing that the two series of products he had conceived were criticized by Duke, Dong Feng asked unwillingly.
"The 99S we developed naturally has good performance, but because this main battle tank is the next generation of the People's Liberation Army's main tank, the General Staff will definitely not let us sell it. Pakistan has always wanted to purchase two or three regiments as the main groups for its armored division to attack the tough and the General Staff has never agreed.
On the one hand, because the domestic installation quantity is very high, we cannot keep up with the production quantity. Not to mention other things, the 9 main armored divisions and 12 armored brigades in China now require more than 1,500 vehicles even if one-third of the installation demand. With the current production capacity, this goal may not be achieved in three years." Duke said.
"Can we upgrade and transform these replaced tanks and sell them? Just like we did on the J-7 fighter, it can be used for waste." Dong Feng asked unwillingly, "At least the tanks we replaced are much stronger than the old third-rate tanks of the Persians. For example, the main gun of the T59D/T79, the 105mm rifled tank has excellent armor-piercing capabilities. It can penetrate two T-54/T-55 tanks placed side by side, which is not a little stronger than the Persians' T-54/T-55."
"Crazy, but you have to know that the Persians are not facing old tanks like the T-54/T-55, but the US M1A2sep Abrams. Our replaced tanks are almost targets when facing such advanced tanks. What do you ask the Persians to do? Even if they replace them, they will probably enter the African market as military aid and basically earn the freight back. "Duke ruthlessly penetrated Dong Feng's fantasy.
Dong Feng didn't expect that his two ideas were denied by Duke. To be honest, Duke said it well at all. DSM does not need to think about the weapons of the army. There is no flagship product that can enter the international market and lacks related accumulation.
"This is not possible, that is not possible. Duke, what do you think can become our next flagship product of DSM?" Dong Feng asked. Now the scale of DSM is getting bigger and bigger. In the case of a small scale, even if it receives funding from the parent company of SAL, it is not difficult for DSM to survive. However, now DSM often invests tens of billions, and it is not possible without product profit support.
Now, fighter jets rely on cooperation with Chengfei, which is considered a flagship product, and unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft monitoring system product. Dong Feng is actually not optimistic about the follow-up. This thing has limited scope of application. Except for countries like Persians that directly face Americans, there is little possibility of other countries using it.
"I think it's better to put some effort into our monitoring system and create a lightweight mobile early warning system with more functions. The future market may be good." To Dong Feng's surprise, Duke was actually preparing to carry out in-depth development of the monitoring system he was not optimistic about.
"We have technical advantages in this regard. After all, the core technology of this system comes from communication technology and belongs to passive monitoring. Fixed or mobile monitoring of fighter jets or ship communications can be used to determine the approximate range of acquisition. It is the best remote early warning system." Duke looked at the confusion in Dong Feng's eyes and explained further.
"The US fighter jets we have obtained now have more details on the communication technology of warships. Basically, the communication methods of major models of US fighter jets or main ships have been studied and accumulated data. We can completely study a general long-range early warning system for the communication of US main combat equipment."
"In terms of cost, the manufacturing cost of the things we developed can be relatively low. Although the price of each one is not too high, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars per monitoring point, this thing is sold online, so the quantity is quite considerable. Just like what we sold to Persians, if a country builds an Internet, the total sales volume will be quite considerable."
"What's more important is that we can completely control the recognition range of this kind of thing through software encoding. Even if it is leaked, it will not pose any threat to our army's main combat equipment. And we are not afraid of being criticized in international political relations. This is definitely a typical defensive military product. In countries that need to defend against American equipment, this system is a perfect match with the radar system."
"Specialize the monitoring system of the US military? This is good!" Dong Feng nodded, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, "Duke, it's better for you to work. I see the mobile version of this kind of thing. We can completely let Dongfang Qiyang develop an off-road small car to cooperate. Maybe through this thing, it will add a new growth point to Dongfang Qiyang."
Speaking of this, Dong Feng suddenly felt his heart moving, "Duke, you said we developed a bait system for the radar system. Is it possible to start deception when we encounter an enemy anti-radiation missile attack?"
