Shortly after Ian Wright left, Bao Zixuan saw 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. They only buy things based on their quality and never care about the price. And even if the weapon is broken, it is not repaired very much, and it is basically bought from new. Such customers cannot be found with lanterns, and major arms companies cherish them very much.
Bao Zixuan gave Prince Sultan a hug, which was a basic etiquette issue. What he didn't expect was that there was a person behind Prince Sultan, and upon closer inspection, he could see that it was her daughter, Princess Aisha.
At this time, the richest man Bao is thinking about what this woman is doing here. But this is someone's private matter, and he can't be bothered about it.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Prince Sultan, Princess Aisha, long time no see. When did you come to France, I haven't heard of you before."
Prince Sultan and Bao Zixuan have a good relationship, and the two often talk on the phone. Moreover, Bao Zixuan's investment in Saudi Arabia and the economic planning for Saudi Arabia made the Saudi royal family very grateful. This is someone who treats Saudi Arabia as a real friend, so please cherish it.
Sultan: "There have been plans before. Although Saudi Arabia needs to vigorously develop its economy, it can't lag behind militarily. Like you said, the Middle East countries have no ability to protect their wealth. It will be very dangerous to continue this way. This time it is just with the help of France. Airshow to buy some weapons and equipment."
"I heard that you still live in a hotel in France, how can you do that? I happen to have a manor in Paris, which is very close to here. If you don't dislike it, you can live there, at least you can be more comfortable. I don't know how your kid is doing. Think, already so rich, you must know how to enjoy life."
The royal family in the Middle East knows how to enjoy life very much, and it is not surprising that as the third person in Saudi Arabia has a manor in Paris. Bao Zixuan couldn't change for a while, and could only slowly adapt to the rich life.
Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your kindness. Heiyun employees are all here. We hold a summary meeting every night, and it was not very square in the past."
The work attitude and enthusiasm of the richest man Bao must be admired by everyone, because he doesn't seem to do anything other than work every day. Enjoying life is never before, and I don't know why.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he was thinking about the princes and princesses in Saudi Arabia. Before lowering their living standards, everyone complained. Compared with Bao Zixuan, the difference is really not a star.
Prince Sultan: "Everything is up to you. This time I'm here to give you money. The HH-01 Ghost Fighter Bomber must be owned by Saudi Arabia. I believe you won't charge sky-high prices! In addition, I have placed the purchase order of Saudi Airlines. After winning over, they need to add 12 200-seat passenger aircraft; these orders will be handed over to the Black Cloud Group.”
I am very happy to hear that Bao Zixuan is here. This is the benefit of helping a country. If you can get stable orders, you will become your most loyal customer.
Bao Zixuan: "Thanks to Prince Sultan for his care. The products produced by Heiyun Group will definitely satisfy you. I don't know how many HH-01 Ghost fighter bombers Saudi Arabia wants to order."
Prince Sultan: "Your assurance is more important than anything else. The Saudis need 12 HH-01 Ghost fighter-bombers."
Bao Zixuan did not expect that the Saudi side would be so powerful and ordered so many at once. In fact, Prince Sultan knew that the price of this plane was worth it for Saudi national security. But even if the economic strength is okay, I dare not order too much to go back at once, and the maintenance cost of stealth aircraft is also frighteningly high.
Bao Zixuan: "The price of a single HH-01 Ghost Fighter bomber is 450 million US dollars, and the price of 12 together with supporting equipment is 6 billion US dollars. These must be paid for in full before production. My company in Xiangjiang has some problems. , requires a lot of money. Your country can use the corresponding Hong Kong dollars to pay, I hope His Excellency the Prince can understand."
"As for the price of 12 919 passenger planes, which is $384 million, it only needs to be paid in accordance with international regulations."
Hearing this price, Prince Sultan also felt that this kid is really black, but there is no good way at present. If an American sells it to you, it might be more expensive. During the last Hong Kong dollar crisis, Saudi Arabia kept 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 the capital reserves of Heiyun Bank are not too much of a problem.
After signing the contract, Aisha said to Bao Zixuan, "Mr. Bao, do you have time recently. If I have time, I would like to invite you to dinner. Thank you for accepting my interview last time."
After speaking, his face turned red, knowing that Middle Eastern girls, especially princesses, can do this, but it is not easy.
Bao Zixuan: "Thanks to Her Royal Highness for your kindness. We can only wait for the terminal to end. We have to receive representatives from various countries in the past few days, so we may not be able to spare time."
Hearing Bao Zixuan's incomprehensible answer, Aisha was also speechless. How could such a man be like this, so ignorant of a girl's mind. Prince Sultan just smiled and didn't say much.
But before leaving, he asked: "Saudi Arabia still has to buy a batch of fighter jets, which product do you think is suitable."
Bao Zixuan was speechless for a while. He asked him why Middle Eastern countries bought weapons. You must know that he is the boss of Heiyun, not a consultant to a certain country in the Middle East. But since people ask you about it, why should you answer it?
Bao Zixuan: "Su-27 and F-16, if there is a problem with the United States, you can choose the Mirage 2000. Iraq is also the two models."
Prince Sultan is such a smart person, of course he knows what Bao Zixuan means. If Saudi Arabia and Iraq can exchange weapons, it will be very beneficial when war comes.
At present, there is no worry about the outbreak of war within the Arab countries, as long as Iran and Israel are still in the Arabian Peninsula, this kind of thing will not happen. This is also why Saudi Arabia did not expect Iraq to invade Kuwait in the previous life. The Arab countries are still relatively united, at least Prince Sultan thinks so.
When Prince Sultan went to Sukhoi's hangar to negotiate business, it went very smoothly. Although Saudi Arabia will prefer the United States, there is still a lot of trade with the Soviet Union, of which weapons and equipment account for the majority of the share.
And as I said before, Saudi Arabia is definitely the best customer in the world. Sukhoi didn't want to let go of this fat sheep, as long as the Saudi side basically agreed to the request. 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, and Sukhoi's reputation began to shine. In addition to the beautiful fuselage of the Su-27, reasonable aerodynamic layout, and powerful climbing performance. It is quickly favored by most countries, and as long as it is a country with purchasing needs, it is ready to place orders. By the end of the air show, Sukhoi had received orders for more than 200 Su-27s in total, making other companies envious. At the same time, it also made the Soviets understand that they must come up with the most advanced weapons, and the customers are experts.
Mikoyan Design Bureau is the best example, this time they did not bring the star fighter MiG-29. Only brought MiG-21 and MiG-25 to the exhibition.
The MiG-21 is a grandfather's fighter jet, and the MiG-25 defected with the pilot. The secrets of the entire fighter jet have been thoroughly studied by the Americans. UUkanshu Therefore, apart from a few symbolic purchases from several African and South American countries, there is no movement in other countries.
Seeing where Sukhoi Design Bureau signed the order and was soft, one can imagine the mood of Mikoyan Design Bureau.
Prince Sultan was not happy when he went to the hangar where General Dynamics was located, and the Americans did not give face. To directly reject the Saudi procurement contract is really when only General Dynamics can produce aircraft in the world.
Prince Sultan came to Dassault and placed an order for 60 Mirage 2000 fighter jets directly to Dassault. He said that this is still the first batch. If the Mirage 2000 can meet the requirements for use, Saudi Arabia plans to order more than 300 fighters of this type in the future.
This made the executives of General Dynamics regretted that such a good customer was pushed outwards. I don't know what the person in charge of the scene is doing, but Iraq understands it well. How can a customer like Saudi Arabia be offended? The most important thing is that Prince Sultan came to negotiate the procurement contract in person. This face is not given, how will General Dynamics develop the market in the Middle East in the future.
Learning that the person in charge of the site was Jewish, the General Dynamics board directly dismissed him from all positions. There is no problem in helping your own nation, but you can't harm the interests of the company. This is a red line. Don't you know who pays you?
