v2 Chapter 903： preemptive

ABC TV's reports on the new military vehicles of various car companies have caused a great sensation not only in the United States, but also in the whole world. The performance of the Heiyun car is really too sturdy, and it is the military vehicle that all countries dream of.

The Saudi side has accelerated the negotiation speed, and no country has ever been more straightforward than Saudi Arabia in terms of money. As long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is not a problem for the big players in the Middle East.

After the report from the United States came out, Prince Sultan personally joined the negotiating team. Before, the Saudi military procurement chief wanted to lower the price, but now he has absolutely no courage to do so. Heiyun Automobile has already become famous, and there are many countries queuing up to buy it, but you can't get up early and catch a late show. That is not in line with Saudi Arabia's national image, and the royal family does not want to make people laugh.

For the new military vehicles, the Black Cloud is asking $380,000 and $400,000; the hybrid gasoline-powered version is more expensive. It is a relatively conscientious price, of course, it is only the most basic configuration. If you want to add other equipment, you need to pay additional modification fees.

Prince Sultan called Bao Zixuan directly, the meaning was obvious. The Saudi side needs to develop a separate communication system, and they do not trust Motorola very much.

Bao Zixuan also had this concern before, just because it was purchased by the US military. If it is Heiyun's own communication system, the US military would not dare to use it. Only then did I think of cooperating with Motorola, in addition to the purchase of the US military, it can try to use its own communication system.

But there is also a trouble, and now the relationship with Motorola is not bad. If only the U.S. military purchases and uses their communication system, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction on the other side. At present, Motorola is still needed as a shield, and things are a bit difficult.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said: "A communications and chip research institution can be established in Saudi Arabia, and it can be placed in the Saudi branch of Yulin Institute of Technology. This is a research institution, and the Saudi side can participate; and then produce industrial chips and communications on a small scale. equipment."

"Gradually replace the communication systems and industrial chips of all foreign weapons and equipment purchased by Saudi Arabia, so as not to harm the interests of foreign companies. At the same time, it can ensure the national security of Saudi Arabia; of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, the cost will increase."

Prince Sultan didn't even think about it, and directly agreed with Bao Zixuan's suggestion. In their view, the chips and equipment produced in their own country must be foolproof. Bao Zixuan is really a friend enough to think so thoughtfully. Spending some money is never a consideration for Saudi Arabia.

In this way, Saudi Arabia has successfully negotiated a contract for 20,000 military vehicles, including 10,000 regular versions and 10,000 hybrid fuel-powered versions; the total contract price is $7.8 billion, not including post-modification costs.

With the size of Saudi Arabia's army, there is simply no need for so many military vehicles. It is estimated that there is also government procurement in it. Of course, the royal family will definitely take priority. The Saudi royal family members have not had a good time recently. Since the reduction of royal expenses for national construction; the expenses of members of the royal family have been reduced a lot, but some places still need to be appeased. At least one-third of the share will go into the hands of the royal family and large families, which is the monarchy. Of course, it has nothing to do with Bao Zixuan. For Heiyun, as long as he can make money, it doesn't matter.

Heiyun Town is a giant beast that swallows gold. If there are no explosive products, it really cannot be raised.

The Saudi side also informs the nationals of transactions involving billions of dollars. No matter how powerful the royal family is, some face projects still need to be done.

However, citizens usually do not have any opinions on the procurement of weapons and equipment by the military, and they do not dare to have any opinions. As long as the people live a happy life, they don't have to work much every year, and they can share the money. The rest is left to those in power to decide, and the procurement of weapons and equipment is also for national defense needs.

Without a strong national defense, no amount of money can hold it.

The speed of Saudi action once again shocked the world. When other countries were still watching, they had already started. At this time, everyone admired Bao Zixuan very much. So many countries do not do tests, and single out Saudi Arabia. It turned out to be premeditated, and it seems that good products should be seen by the local tyrants in the Middle East.

As a result, the advanced weapons and equipment of later countries will basically be placed in Saudi Arabia when they need desert terrain and environmental testing. They all want to let the big players in the Middle East understand first, after all, their purchasing power cannot be ignored.

After Saudi Arabia announced the purchase of 20,000 Heiyun's latest military vehicles, countries around the world began to actively contact their own Heiyun branches. Everyone wants to buy some to go back, but the technology cannot be developed, so it’s better to support the facade.

The most sincere person in this regard is another upstart in the Middle East. The Secretary of the Interior personally came to the headquarters of Black Cloud Automobile in the United States to negotiate.

The State of Kuwait, commonly known as Kuwait, is a constitutional monarchy located in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula and the northwest of the Persian Gulf in the West Asian region. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia in the south and Iraq in the north. Across the sea from Iran, the country's capital, Kuwait City, has the same name as the country.

It was part of the Arab Empire in the 7th century AD. After 1871, it belonged to the Ottoman Empire. It became a British colony in 1899 and became independent in 1961.

Kuwait is rich in oil and natural gas resources, with proven oil reserves of 14 billion tons, ranking seventh in the world. Natural gas reserves are 1.78 trillion cubic meters, ranking 18th in the world.

Kuwait's climate is not conducive to agriculture, and almost all agricultural products need to be imported. The country began to develop a diverse economy, reducing its dependence on oil. And to promote the development of Kuwait in the fields of energy, railway, power grid consolidation, infrastructure construction, communications and new urban construction, and is committed to building Kuwait into a financial and trade center in the Gulf region.

With such rich oil and gas resources, the land area is less than 20,000 square kilometers, and the population is only 4 million. To say who is the richest in the world, Kuwait must be on the list.

The natives do nothing, and they can make a living with the help of oil and gas sales. Kuwait buys weapons and equipment internationally and only chooses the best, and price is never a problem they need to consider.

Nawaf Ahmed Al-Jabir Al-Sabah was born in June 1937, the sixth son of the 10th Emir of Kuwait, Ahmed I. Since 1978, he has served as Minister of the Interior of Kuwait.

Bao Zixuan still gave enough respect to this great man who was destined to become the Amir (head of state) of Kuwait.

It is strange to say that the richest man Bao has been in the Middle East a lot of times, and the time is not short. But I have never been to Kuwait, mainly because they have not been invited.

This time Nawaf happened to be inspecting in the United States and knew that the Saudi side had already started. He then communicated to Heiyun through the Kuwaiti consulate in the United States that the Minister of the Interior wanted to come to the headquarters of Heiyun Automobile for inspection.

Of course, Heiyun will not refuse the sincerity shown by Kuwait. Seeing that Bao Zixuan received him personally, the other party felt much better.

Bao Zixuan said in Arabic: "Welcome Your Excellency Nawaf to come and inspect the work, thank you for your recognition of Heiyun Automobile."

Although I knew that Bao Zixuan's Arabic was very good, I didn't expect it to be so good; if I hadn't seen him, I would have thought it was an authentic Arabic speaking.

Nawaf said with a smile, "Although I've heard about it for a long time, I just learned today that Mr. Bao's Arabic is better than the legend. But you're not funny. You've been to the Middle East for a few times, but you haven't come to Kuwait."

"Kuwait is very hospitable, especially for young talents like Mr. Bao, they will line up to welcome you. If you don't go to Kuwait, I have to find it myself."

It can't be said that you can't go there without an invitation. Wouldn't that be too hypocritical.

Bao Zixuan had no choice but to say with a smile, "The main reason is that the Middle East has a busy schedule in the past. Next time, I will definitely come to visit in the past. And I will stay for a few more days, so don't think I'm annoyed at that time."

This is a polite remark, and it can be regarded as a step down for both parties.

After that, Bao Zixuan took Nawaf to visit the Heiyun Automobile Factory. Of course, it was impossible to visit all of them. And Nawaf is only interested in George Patton military vehicles, and others have been seen in other car manufacturers before.

After seeing that as reported on TV, Heiyun Group's automobile engine adopts cold-loading technology. Nawaf said with a smile: "I saw the report yesterday, and I also consulted experts. Mr. Bao deserves to be an engineer-turned-entrepreneur, and other manufacturers can't do the technical requirements."

"The Kuwait side hopes to introduce 5,000 units of this military vehicle, the regular diesel version and the mixed fuel-powered version. The contract can be signed today, and Kuwait is very interested in many Heiyun products. As for whether it can be imported, it depends on Mr. Bao's Sincerity."

Of course, I understand what the other party means. This is because I hope that I will go to Kuwait for inspection.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Kuwait for your trust in Heiyun Auto. I also have the thoughts and wishes of your country in the past. I will go to the Middle East next year, and the first stop will be Kuwait. I can assure you of this."

You have been invited by a country's home secretary and future head of state. If you don't give face, it's really unreasonable; Nawaf is very satisfied with Bao Zixuan's guarantee.

Before leaving Heiyun Automobile, Nawaf and Bao Zixuan signed a purchase contract for 10,000 military vehicles, worth 3.9 billion US dollars. Needless to say, members of the royal family will definitely get a large portion, but these others are only envious.
