Chapter 821 Home
No matter what it is, as long as it is extremely good, it will be expensive, and it will be very expensive.
Spy equipment is inherently expensive. Yang Yi knew this and was mentally prepared for it, but Eric's quotation still made him feel what it means to be heart-stoppingly expensive.
"Four hundred and twenty thousand pounds."
Yang Yi choked on his own saliva, and then he whispered: "One?"
"one!"
Yang Yi sighed: "Why is it so expensive!"
Eric looked aside again. He looked at Yang Yi. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and finally whispered: "This thing has been developed for half a year, but it has not been used until now." MI6 uses it, why, because it’s too expensive!”
After finishing speaking, Eric took out another camera, which was as thick as a chopstick and as long as a cigarette. Then he whispered: "Look at this. This only costs 20,000 pounds. Now MI6 and MI6 This kind of camera is used in five places, which is a mainstream standard.”
Yang Yi whispered: "What's the difference?"
Eric smiled and said: "Both of these two models have their own power supply. The larger one can be used for twenty hours. If you need to power the camera and wireless transmission at the same time, it can last for that long, and the small one can last for that long. It can be used for sixty days. Both models can transmit wireless signals, but the small one has sixteen frequency bands and can be hidden in all WiFi or mobile signals today without being discovered, but the big one cannot, there is only one type! The most powerful one Yes, small ones can be charged wirelessly. If your camera is out of power, then take a wireless charging device for mobile phones and get it close to see how powerful your wireless charging device is. If your power is powerful enough, it will be 100 meters away. It can be recharged, of course, this is just an ideal situation.”
Yang Yi was shocked, and he whispered: "How did you do it?"
"I don't know how it was done, but you should be able to understand what this performance means. Man, this is the last glory of the British Empire. This is the limit of technology that Britain can achieve. Apart from being too expensive, this is really The best thing in the world!”
Yang Yi was a little skeptical, wondering whether the little thing in his hand was that powerful, because it sounded a bit too sci-fi.
Pinhole cameras are very common nowadays. It can be said that they are not worth much money at all. They can be bought as cheap as tens of euros, and better ones are only a few hundred euros. Of course, this refers to what can be bought in the civilian market.
It is a recognized reality that military technology is generally 20 years ahead of civilian technology, and espionage equipment is definitely more than 20 years ahead of civilian equipment in some fields. Many technologies are not suitable for large-scale mass production, or are temporarily Technology that has not yet reached the mass production stage may have been used by spies for many years.
Another situation is that military technology is not much more advanced than civilian technology, but the standards are much higher. Especially the application volume of many products is too small. Not to mention the manufacturing cost and material cost, but the design cost is compared with civilian products. An astronomical number.
So is a camera worth £420,000? It is indeed expensive for Yang Yi, but compared to its research and development costs, the price is really not expensive.
Seeing that Yang Yi was still hesitating, Eric whispered: "I can tell you something more. There are only six products in total. Is there any more? Because this is a technology verification product. A total of ten products have been made. The British intelligence agency tried it out. This is a nationally funded research project that cost more than 300 million pounds, but it cannot be adopted in the short term. So I had the opportunity to get six of them. Why did you price it at 420,000 pounds? Man, this is the lowest price in the country. If the UK purchases these cameras, the lowest price will be 420,000 pounds!"
Yang Yi breathed out slowly and said hesitantly: "It's a good thing, but... there's a problem. The commission for my mission this time is not high, and there is almost no possibility of recycling the equipment. It's so expensive for me. It’s a little too extravagant.”
Eric said softly: "Don't forget what I said, I will give you a 10% discount, man, three hundred and seventy-eight thousand pounds. If you can eat all six, I will wipe out the change for you, a three hundred and seventy-eight thousand pounds." One hundred and seventy thousand pounds, believe me, you won’t find anything better than that.”
Yang Yi scratched his head and said: "Cheaper, cheaper!"
Eric smiled bitterly and said: "It can't be cheaper. This product is not mine, man. I need to come up with two million pounds. Do you understand?"
Yang Yi took a breath, thought for a moment, and said: "Three hundred and fifty thousand, and I will purchase a batch of monitors and cheap cameras, well, let's make friends, you know what I mean, real friends. "
Eric was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and said: "Okay, I will do this batch of goods as a favor to my friend. I brought the bugs. I will go to the hotel where I am staying to pick up the goods later." .”
Yang Yi smiled, then he took out his mobile phone and quickly said after dialing: "Transfer, three million pounds or the equivalent in euros."
Yang Yi hung up the phone, and Eric said with a satisfied smile: "Poseidon, you are my youngest customer, but you are really my best customer. I am very happy to have you as my friend."
Both the buyer and the seller were satisfied, and the next thing went smoothly. Yang Yi picked up the goods, and before picking up the goods, Yang Yi had already transferred the money to Eric's account.
Yang Yi came out on his own. He was not in a hurry to return to his base, but after wandering the streets of Paris alone for a long time, he bought a mobile phone and applied for a phone card.
Then Yang Yi made a call.
"Hey, Uncle Li, I just bought a bottle of good wine. I wanted to ask you if you want to try it."
"Oh, what kind of wine is it? Where does it come from?"
"It's made in the UK. It's said to be very good, but I don't know if it's good or not. I'm asking you to taste it and appreciate it. It looks good to me. Really, it looks very good, but the bottle is a bit small." .”
Yang Yi bit him hard. He and Li Fan had not agreed on any code words. Everything relied on tacit understanding and understanding, but he believed that Li Fan must know what he meant.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad that your child is still thinking about your uncle. How much did you buy it for? Is it expensive? If it's expensive, you can't spend money all the time as a child."
"It's not very expensive, forty-two pounds. I can afford it even though I don't make much money. This is to honor you, and you should spend money, haha."
"Okay, okay, but the wine bottle is a bit small. I'm afraid it won't be satisfying to drink. Can you buy one or two more bottles? If it tastes good, uncle will buy more."
Yang Yi smiled bitterly. The items were too small to take apart. One was indeed too little. If his hand shook, there would be no second chance. So he could only say: "I'll get you two bottles. Are there any more?" A total of six bottles were produced.”
"Thank you. By the way, I received the stuff you sent me last time. It's really good. It's great. It's very useful to my family. I have to thank you very much. You've helped my family a lot. ”
Yang Yi couldn't help but let out a long breath. It seemed that the information sent back last time was really useful, which made him very happy and excited.
