Chapter 843 Incompetence
Just this attitude, this strength, and so much confidence.
Ariante was stunned by the bright light. He hesitated for a while, and finally said cautiously: "Uh, well, we urgently need unmanned attack aircraft. How many?"
Gao Guang didn't say anything. He just looked at Ariante until Ariante said cautiously: "We need to check and attack all-in-one unmanned attack aircraft. The more the better, but the lower the price, the better. Mr. Mad Dog can provide this." Equipment?"
An unsurprising answer.
Why was Gao Guang so anxious to come to Armenia? It was because he was so anxious to sell all the goods in stock.
The left hand is a drone that has been in Baghdad for almost two years, and the right hand is Georgia’s traditional heavy weapon. It doesn’t matter what Armenia sells, he has to sell it anyway.
Moreover, the most outstanding performance of both warring parties is the drone, but these things are consumables, just like artillery shells. So far in the war, Armenia has shown a decline in its ability to continue, and their drones are about to be used up. Empty.
You said that if you don't sell this weapon now, then how long can you wait? Isn't it too late to sell it after Armenia can no longer hold on, is defeated and admits defeat and the armistice ends?
The so-called perfect match is like this, one wants to buy and the other wants to sell, there is no suspense.
"Harpy unmanned attack aircraft, two sets of radar control vehicles, and a hundred unmanned attack aircraft. The total price is one billion US dollars." There is no need to delay this kind of war. It is still a seller's market. Let's just talk about the number. , and then just quote.
One billion dollars is a bit excessive, it’s ten times more. No, it should be almost twenty times in general. Ariante was shocked by the price. He opened his eyes and said, "One billion dollars?"
"Of course, payment is only accepted in U.S. dollars."
Ariante spread his hands and said: "It's too expensive! It's too expensive!"
Gao Guang said helplessly: "The expensive part is the risk fund."
You are not a profiteer, but what you earn from selling arms is risk money and opportunity money. War is a matter of life and death, so do you care about cost-effectiveness and elegance?
Ariante sighed and said with extreme helplessness: "Our annual military expenditure is only 600 million U.S. dollars, and your batch of drones is only 1 billion U.S. dollars. It's impossible, we can't afford so much money."
"How much can you offer?"
Ariante said cautiously: "What do you think of US$200 million?" Gao Guang smiled and said: "If I sell it to Azerbaijan, it will be US$500 million."
Spreading his hands, Gao Guang continued with a chuckle: "But I support your country morally, so I am willing to sell all the goods at low prices and sell them to you at a friendly price. Let's do this, five hundred million US dollars, the same price to you." .
"
He cut the price in half, not because Gao Guang was soft-hearted, but because he knew that Armenia really couldn't spend one billion to buy drones. Moreover, he sold drones with a unit price of hundreds of thousands of dollars for 10 million each. , this is indeed a bit too much.
So after taking the initiative to modify the quotation, Gao Guang quickly continued: "Of the 500 million US dollars, 100 million US dollars is the normal cost. The purchase price of this batch of drones is already high, and the remaining 400 million US dollars are risk benefits. Understand Once you realize that risk is also a cost, you will understand that $500 million is really a friendly price! So, this is the final offer.”
Ariante looked troubled, lost in thought.
The highlight stopped pushing Ariante and he started eating again.
After thinking for a while, Ariante finally sighed softly and whispered: "I will report the matter and your quotation. Let's eat first. Let's eat."
No, Ariante has given up. It seems that he really can't afford 500 million US dollars to buy drones.
Why did the conversation go nowhere? This is not okay. Ariante has neither courage nor money, so the business cannot be negotiated. Gao Guang didn't want to lower his price, nor did he want to lower his status, but after thinking about it, he felt that the war situation in Armenia was very urgent. Ariante could bargain, but it was wrong to give up. So, he shouldn't have the right to decide?
It's pointless to talk to someone who doesn't have the power to finalize military purchases. It's a waste of time and emotions, but Gao Guang can use this to reveal his own strength, which is okay.
Gao Guang did not take the initiative to lower the price. He just said easily: "If you think drones are too expensive, you can also buy ordinary arms, such as tanks and cannons. I am willing to sell these at low prices. The friendly price is 30% off the market price." Bar."
It would also be a good idea to dump the Georgian arms at a low price. First, set a price to explore the market, and then discuss it later with someone who can make the decision.
Ariante nodded, then he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Our need for these things is not very urgent. Mr. Mad Dog, just wish you could provide SU30 weapons."
"Yes, the su-30 can carry air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and air-to-ground rockets. How can we not have them?" Gaoguang does have Russian air-to-air missiles, and Armenia really needs them.
The reason is very simple, and it is very sad to say that Armenia has an air force with a total of four fighter jets, four Su-30s bought from Russia, but Russia sold the aircraft
aircraft, but refused to provide the weapon systems needed for the aircraft.
Therefore, the Armenian Air Force has aircraft but no weapons, not even airborne cannons, air-to-air missiles, and air-to-ground missiles.
Ariante just said casually, because their largest air force base is stationed with Russian aircraft, and his own aircraft is just a decoration, and these are all caused by the military and the previous president. Well, if you think about it carefully, it is also the same as the current president. It has something to do with Pasini, but it can always be blamed on his ex.
But Ariante can say it casually, but Gao Guang doesn't answer casually. He can really get any mounted weapons needed for the Su-30.
General Wasik of Poland has R-27 air-to-air missiles and R-73, which are originally missiles used by the Su30. From the pylon to the fire control radar, these are what they were originally used for.
Ariante was shocked again. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Very good, well, I will report the good news. If possible, we can buy it."
It's over. As soon as I heard this, I knew that Ariante still couldn't make the decision.
Gao Guang didn't bother to say anything anymore, so he just went to explore the way first. As for Larry, he probably wasn't particularly familiar with Ariante, because the dissatisfaction on his face clearly showed his attitude.
The American arrogant embassy counselor remained silent with a displeased look on his face. This put enough pressure on Ariante, so Ariante couldn't even finish the meal. He only ate half of it and couldn't help but say: "I'm sorry." , please eat slowly, I'm sorry. Today's news is too important, I need to report it to Mr. President immediately, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry."
Ariante almost escaped. After Ariante left, Larry immediately said seriously: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be so useless. According to his authority, it is his responsibility and decision to purchase arms." Yes, I thought he could decide directly, but I didn’t expect it. ”
Gao Guang said quickly: "You don't have to apologize for this. This is just the beginning, and it doesn't mean that the business can't be completed."
It just feels like Americans are a bit naive when doing many things because they are too straightforward and lack the necessary degree of euphemism.
Larry is also a diplomat. Even if the person he finds fails to get things done, he won't apologize immediately. But for Larry, what he was thinking about seemed different from highlights.
After hesitating for a moment, Larry whispered: "The situation in Armenia is not very optimistic. I don't want to. Well, I still lack understanding of arms procurement. I assure you, I will immediately
Find someone who really speaks volumes and can help you close the deal as quickly as possible. "
It seemed that it was destiny, and it seemed that Tom wanted to show the importance of Gao Guang. While Gao Guang and Larry were talking about business, his phone rang.
Gao Guang would definitely not answer a normal phone call, but since this call was from Tom, he would definitely answer it. After answering the phone, Tom hurriedly asked: "Is it easy to talk?"
Listening to Tom's tone, Gao Guang felt that something was not good, so he immediately said: "Larry and I are eating." Tom said anxiously again: "He is fine, so I told him, Pavel just didn't speak, the problem is a bit serious. !" Gao Guang said in shock: "No? Why don't you say anything?"
"Yes! He just didn't say anything and refused to make any sound."
Impossible. The CIA people are not just freeloaders. They are not short of interrogation experts. They are very proficient in psychological and physical torture. How could they make Pavel unable to speak.
Gao Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have any reservations about Pavel?"
Tom whispered: "No! If he continues to be tortured, he will really die. If he is stimulated again, his spirit will really collapse. We have tried every means, but the more we stimulate him, his will will be weakened. More and more people are identified, even psychologists are helpless.
After a helpless and impatient sigh, Tom said angrily: "But we can't use veritaserum, it will turn him into an idiot, so now there is no other way, we plan to start with his child."
Gao Guang didn't say anything, but Tom continued: "You did a great job last time, this time..." "I won't do it."
Gao Guang refused directly and had a clear attitude.
Tom paused for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, I'll push it for you, but it's not easy to handle. Pavel must have a backup plan. His child has been hidden, which is very troublesome. Now the boss is asking me to find a way, but I’m not an interrogation expert, what can I do! Damn it!”
Tom didn't call simply to complain. Gao Guang hesitated and whispered, "Do you want me to ask someone else for technical support?"
The highlight hit the nail on the head.
Tom sighed softly and said, "Well, I think maybe Russians understand Russians better, what do you think?"
It was inconvenient for others to mention the leaves. Gao Guang understood this, so he whispered: "I think it makes sense. Well, wait until I ask others, maybe there are other ways."
