Chapter 1167 "Mustang" Fighter

"Shit, the world is crazy, Indians who eat curry are almost becoming the richest people in the world."

The reason why Yang Cheng could make such a wail was naturally because the Indian Ah San became the protagonist of today's auction, which also kicked off the arms feast.

Just tens of seconds ago, after three rounds of bidding, an Indian "machinery trading company" won a batch of second-hand "Sea Eagle" orders at a unit price of 80 million U.S. dollars. This price caused an uproar in the audience. The dude is making a lot of money, and the Indian Ah San is as stupid as ever.

Like the famous Black Hawk, the Seahawk helicopter is a well-known naval carrier-based helicopter, which is widely used by the US military on various ships and in many military operations.

The Seahawk is the navy version of the Blackhawk. Based on the Blackhawk, the airframe has been improved for sea navigation, take-off and landing of warships, and combating high-corrosion environments. Generally speaking, it is not much different from the Army version of the Blackhawk, with excellent performance. It is recognized all over the world, of course, the price is also one top one.

Because it has advanced electronic equipment and can perform a variety of tasks, it has always been the main model imported by American allies. Judging from the situation of the Seahawk sold by the United States for many times, including supporting equipment, the unit price is generally around 40 million US dollars. You know, a basic version of the Russian-made MiG-29 fighter jet is only more than 10 million US dollars.

As for this auction, I don’t know whether the Indian Ah San was overwhelmed by passion or he ate too much curry before coming here, so the transaction doubled. Is that the case?

Hearing Yang Cheng's exclamation, David Ellison, who is half a military fan, tilted his head and explained, "The Indians have been in contact and negotiating with the introduction of Seahawk helicopters since the year before last, but the Navy has not let go until recently. The Indians' PR has paid off.

However, the result was that the Navy agreed to retire a batch of 'Sea Eagles' that were in active service and sell them to the Indians as second-hand goods. Of course, the price had to rise appropriately.

The explanation given by the navy is that they will conduct a comprehensive upgrade of the airborne equipment and update and improve it according to India's requirements. "

Yang Cheng was still in disbelief, "80 million US dollars, 18 planes, including the cost of upgrades, the final transaction price is estimated to be 1.5 billion US dollars, enough for Indians to eat as much curry."

David Ellison laughed, Indian curry stems never go out of style.

Next, several small countries successfully bid for the auction. In just half an hour, the turnover reached 3 billion U.S. dollars. Sure enough, it is still profitable to sell arms.

"Your warship hasn't come out yet?" Yang Cheng became a little impatient. Now the auction items are all bulk weapons. Except for the state and military forces, private individuals can't participate at all.

David Ellison is also a little anxious. The most annoying thing for people like them is to waste time. Even if they go back to their room to communicate with their female companions, it is more meaningful than sitting here.

But the goal has not been achieved, so he can't leave, "It should be soon~ This kind of big toy is only attractive when it comes out in the front."

As soon as the words fell, the auctioneer on the stage pointed with a white glove, and a one-meter-long warship model was pushed onto the stage. Yang Cheng straightened up and smacked his lips, "This model is exquisite enough, it seems Also a product of Bath Iron."

David Ellison became excited, "Well, this model can be exchanged for a McLaren. When I buy the warship, this model will be given to you."

Yang Cheng laughed, but did not refuse, "Come on~"

Bidding will begin soon,

Contrary to Yang Cheng's expectation, the starting price reached 15 million US dollars, and after just a few rounds of bidding, the price soared to 20 million US dollars.

Yang Cheng became nervous on behalf of her good friend, "Those bidders also have the same purpose as yours? Buying a warship for fishing?"

David Ellison shook his head, "I know there are two people who are often active in Southeast Asia, and they don't necessarily represent themselves."

After a pause, "But the price did exceed my expectations."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his number plate and shouted, "22 million~"

At this time, Aragaki Yui pulled Yang Cheng's sleeve and asked curiously, "Can private individuals also buy warships?"

Yang Cheng smiled, and moved her head to the goddess's ear, "Of course, this is the United States, where capital is in power, and everything can be talked about with money, let alone warships, there are even dirty bombs for sale in the black market, but I don't know if it can be done. Explode a mushroom cloud."

While the two of them were whispering, the price had risen to 24 million, and the bidder was still an Indian.

David Ellison began to get angry, "fuck, damn Indians, have they dug a gold mine recently? Bidding without thinking?"

This time it was Yang Cheng's turn to remain calm, "The Indians' desire for weapons and equipment is the highest in the world. They have no strength but they have a heart to fight for world hegemony. If they take this Perry-class frigate back and make up for it, they can still use it." In ten years, this price is much cheaper than buying an intact warship.”

David Ellison smashed his thigh angrily and cursed, "Damn~"

He knew that it was impossible for him to compete financially with Ah San who had military expenses in hand.

Yang Cheng tilted his head and looked at Dennis Mullenberg who was not far from Ah San, and suddenly had an idea, "Hey, David, if you really want this warship, maybe I have a solution."

"Really? Say it quickly, of course I really want it~" David Ellison believed in Yang Cheng's ability very much.

"You drag it first, I'll go talk to Dennis~" Yang Cheng patted Ellison's shoulder, got up and hunched over and sat down next to Dennis.

Dennis was startled, and asked in surprise, "Why did you come here at this time?"

Yang Cheng pointed backwards, "David is about to be mad by Ah San~"

Dennis was startled, and then understood Yang Cheng's meaning, "It can only be said that David was too unlucky. According to the information I got, the Indians came to Vegas this time with a huge sum of 3 billion U.S. dollars. Half of it, and now there is still half in my hand that I haven't spent yet."

Yang Cheng clicked her tongue, "So many? Are they going to buy an aircraft carrier?"

Dennis smiled strangely, "That's not the case, a billion or so can't even buy the island of an aircraft carrier."

"Okay, I'm here to ask you for help. David is my good brother. Can you persuade the Indians to give up the bid?" Yang Cheng said seriously.

Dennis still values ​​Yang Cheng very much. Hearing Yang Cheng's request, he didn't dare to be negligent. He squeezed his chin and pondered for a while, "A few days ago, Indians came to our door to buy EA18g Growler electronic warfare aircraft, but we refused without hesitation. Oh, what are you kidding, this is the most advanced electronic warfare aircraft in the United States, and the homeland has not yet been fully deployed, so how can it be sold to the outside world, even if we want to, the guys from the Ministry of Defense will not allow it."

Yang Cheng quietly listened to Dennis complaining, he knew the point hadn't come yet.

"The Growler doesn't have to think about it, but its predecessor EA6 can think of a way. It happens that there are a few EA6s in Boeing's hangar, and they are going to remove key equipment and send them to the aircraft grave. It would be great if they can be recycled."

Yang Cheng couldn't get in the conversation, let Dennis talk to himself there, and then made a few calls with his mobile phone, until David Ellison couldn't bear it anymore and frequently winked at Yang Cheng, Dennis finally Putting down the phone with a relaxed face, "It's done, the board of directors has approved the sale plan, and now it's up to the Indians to take the bait."

"Thank you for David~" Yang Cheng said immediately.

Dennis waved his hand, "It's not time to thank you, let me talk to the Indians~"

So Dennis got up and went to the Indian, and the two sides quickly talked.

At the same time, the auctioneer who noticed this scene knew that things might change, so he wisely chose to delay the time by introducing the information of the warship, and waited for the results of the negotiations with the big shots below.

Yang Cheng gave David Ellison a look, signaling him to bid first.

Ellison understood, and added 1 million US dollars to the price the Indians just asked, and the price reached 27 million US dollars~

The Indians did not increase the price for a long time, but the auctioneer did not dare to drop the hammer.

It wasn't until Dennis returned to his seat with a satisfied smile that the Indian voluntarily gave up his bid, and the auctioneer dropped the hammer heavily, announcing the deal.

Yang Cheng didn't ask about the process, and thanked directly, "Now I can let David come to thank you~"

Danny accepted it calmly, "You're welcome, but I brought an order of 300 million US dollars to the company, and made a lot of money, and everyone owes nothing to each other."

. . .

Returning to his seat, David Ellison breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to you, it seems that just sending you a model is not enough."

Yang Cheng's busy work not only helped him successfully photograph the warship, but also saved at least several million dollars. A warship model is nothing.

"You're welcome between us~"

The next lot that will appear on the stage, Yang Cheng, is always eye-catching, but he really has no interest in taking pictures. He also tried to bid a few times, but soon exceeded the psychological price, and gave up without much entanglement. .

Until the second half of the auction, he had a whim and bought an antique fighter plane at a price of 4.6 million US dollars.

This is a P-51D "Mustang" manufactured in 1944. After being grounded in 1983, it has been stored for more than 30 years. After being refurbished by the seller, it can still fly in the sky. The seller also gave away a replacement Merlin engine and the necessary fuselage for free. Components.

The 'Mustang' photographed by Yang Cheng has really been on the battlefield and has experienced the smoke of gunpowder. It is said that it has a glorious history of shooting down three enemy planes. After retiring, it was given to the pilot by the Air Force. Desperate pilots maintain the plane every day, which makes the plane still in a near-perfect condition, and it can take off after drinking fuel.

He was going to send the plane to the Santa Barbara Ranch for storage. There is a large area where the takeoff and landing runway can be built. When he is free, he can take the time to get a flight license. When he has nothing to do, he can fly this 'Mustang' fighter plane to patrol the territory.

In any case, today's auction was not in vain. Not only did we get an airplane, but we also got an exquisite warship model presented by David Ellison. It can be said that we are very satisfied.
