Chapter 229: Hundreds of millions of dollars in arms sales agreement

Hearing this excited shout, Tan Bin was stunned at first. You should know that the location of his office was the General Staff, the military's combat command, and had strict discipline. Such loud noises would never be allowed. However, when he heard this sound, he seemed to care about this discipline at all, which made Tan Bin's face, who regarded discipline as a mountain, suddenly darkened.

But just as his face turned cloudy, a premonition flashed through his mind like a lightning, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but stand up from his seat. Not only Tan Bin, but Qian Lei, who was sitting opposite him, was the same. At this moment, the two looked at each other in surprise, and the tacit understanding on the other side made them nod at the same time:

"telegraph?"

“Arms Sales!”

As soon as Tan Bin finished speaking, he quickly left his seat, and Qian Lei turned around and rushed to the door of the office first. At this time, the anxious footsteps were getting closer and closer, so Qian Lei quickly opened the door of the office and opened it. At this moment, Wang Chuanchen, who was sweating, almost pretended to be full of his arms with Qian Lei. Fortunately, Wang Chuanchen, as a soldier, reacted quickly and stopped at the door, otherwise he would have to hit the stars!

Seeing Wang Chuanchen's hurry and panic, Tan Bin couldn't help but glance at Wang Chuanchen, who was sweating profusely, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter? I'm so panicked!"

"Chief! Telegram!" As soon as Tan Bin finished speaking, Wang Chuanchen couldn't hide the excitement on his face and said loudly to Tan Bin and Qian Lei: "I just received a telegram from Director Liu from Pakistan!"

"Old Liu's telegram?" When Tan Bin heard the telegram from Liu Haotian, his eyes widened instantly, and then he couldn't wait to extend his hand to Wang Chuanchen:

"Quick! Show it to me!"

Wang Chuanchen took out a few pages of paper from the folder in his hand and handed it to Tan Bin: "This time Director Liu and Xiao Lu and others have gained a lot in Pakistan. Pakistan alone has reached an arms sales contract of 50 million US dollars!"

"Fifty million US dollars?" After hearing Wang Chuanchen's words, Qian Lei, who was standing by, thought Wang Chuanchen had said the wrong number, and couldn't help but open his eyes and ask:

"Xiao Wang, are you sure you read it right? How could it be 50 million US dollars?"

"Director Qian, I'm sure I'm reading it right!" Faced with Qian Lei's doubts, Wang Chuanchen nodded with an unconcealed look of excitement and replied affirmatively:

"And it is not just Pakistan's equipment sales. The United States has also ordered $100 million worth of arms from us for in-kind assistance to the Afghan Resistance Organization. In addition, Pakistan and the United States have also reached a three-year procurement intention with our foreign arms sales delegation. According to this intention agreement, Pakistan and the United States will purchase nearly $2 billion of weapons and equipment from our country in the next three years!"

"Fifty million US dollars, plus 100 million US dollars, there will be nearly two billion US dollars in the next three years..." Qian Lei, who was originally familiar with various data, could not believe his ears after hearing these huge numbers one by one. He reached an agreement worth $150 million and an agreement with intention was nearly $2 billion.

Such a huge amount has far exceeded Qian Lei's imagination. In fact, Qian Lei, director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, actually has a prediction on the value of arms sales to Pakistan. According to Pakistan's national strength and financial situation, based on the previous costs of weapons and equipment aid to Pakistan, Qian Lei concluded that the value of arms sales to Pakistan this time will not exceed US$8 million at most.

But even so, this amount is not only an unattainable astronomical figure in Qian Lei's mind, but also the largest amount in foreign arms sales! However, what Qian Lei did not expect was that the amount reached by Liu Haotian and Lu Jiadong not only easily exceeded the 10 million US dollar mark, but also jumped to the 100 million US dollar mark, and the intention agreement even exceeded the 2 billion US dollar mark.

As these numbers rang one by one in Qian Lei's ears, the so-called astronomical numbers in his heart continued to rise, so that in the end he seemed to be a little unsteady in the Qianhai of Taotao, giving him a feeling of dreaming. This made Qian Lei unable to help pinch his thighs with his hands until he felt the pain that Qian Lei was sure that he was not dreaming, so he patted his thighs with unconcealed excitement and shouted excitedly:

"My good-natured! I never dreamed that they could get so much money, a $150 million agreement, a $2 billion intention, my god, the amount of weapons and equipment purchases in our country in recent years cannot reach this number!"

Faced with such a huge amount, Qian Lei's shock was actually inevitable. You should know that China's military expenditure was less than 20 billion yuan at that time. Although it was calculated based on the official exchange rate at that time, the amount converted into US dollars was also a big number, but if it was calculated based on the real exchange rate in the market, China's actual military expenditure was less than 5 billion US dollars.

Such a meager military expenditure has to be maintained by millions of troops. Nearly two-thirds of it will be consumed by people and horse feeding. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the research and development and maintenance of nuclear weapons and their vehicles. In addition, other necessary support, the cost of equipment procurement in a year is basically very small. This is why Qian Lei said this and was shocked by the huge number.

In fact, it was not only Qian Lei so shocked, but Tan Bin, who was looking through the telegram carefully. When he read these numbers for the first time, he couldn't believe his eyes. He hurried to the desk and took out his reading glasses. He looked at them several times. After finally confirming that he had read it correctly, a touch of unconcealed excitement gradually appeared on his face:

"Haha~~This Liu Dadaner and Xiao Lu are really capable. Not only did they win Pakistan's arms sales orders, but they also bought the United States' weapons and equipment in-kind assistance..."

"The physical weapons and equipment of the United States?" Qian Lei was just stunned by the huge transaction numbers and did not care about the specific trading countries. Now after hearing Tan Bin's words, Qian Lei reacted, so before Tan Bin finished speaking, he asked in confusion:

"They were not going to Pakistan, why did they have a relationship with the United States? Not only that, they also got $100 million from them. Did they steal the Bank of America?"

"Even if I grab the Bank of America, I may not be able to do so much!" As he said that, Tan Bin handed the telegram in his hand to Qian Lei: "You can tell if you look at it. If I hadn't seen the description above, even if I wanted to make a fuss, I wouldn't understand what this little Lu did?"

"Little Lu?" After hearing Tan Bin's words, Qian Lei's face showed a hint of confusion, and then reached out to take the telegram and looked down at the ten lines. However, the more Qian Lei looked at the expression, the more shocked he looked, the more shocked he looked. Until after reading them all, Qian Lei looked at Tan Bin in front of him, his tone was full of incredible:

"I really didn't expect that Xiao Lu had such foresight and actually judged that the United States would provide huge aid?"

"I thought it was very puzzled, but if you think about it carefully, there are some truths in it!" After hearing Tan Bin's words, Qian Lei's eyes couldn't help but condense. Seeing this, Tan Bin did not care, but continued:

"I got the news from the Second Department of the General Staff that the military officers of the US Embassy in China earlier this year found our Second Department of the General Staff and tentatively asked about similar plans and attitudes. At that time, the Second Department of the General Staff received the news and reported it to the senior management. Before we could discuss and conclude, the military officer informed us that the plan was temporarily stranded because the domestic policy of the United States has not been determined yet..."

"You mean, Liu Dabanger should know the reason, and Xiao Lu's judgment, the two items combined..."

"It should be true!" Before Qian Lei finished speaking, Tan Bin nodded affirmatively, while Qian Lei nodded in praise, and then sighed sincerely:

"That's him, Old Liu, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to do such an inconsistency!"

As soon as Qian Lei finished speaking, Tan Bin said, "The same is true for me. Why would the senior management choose Lao Liu to be the person in charge of foreign arms sales? This must be aware of his courage and courage in this regard!"

"How could he call him Liu Dabanger? Without this courage, he would not be worthy of being the director of the Third Bureau of the General Staff!" As he said, a bright smile appeared on Qian Lei's face:

"But no matter how brave he is, Liu Dabang, he must have Xiao Lu to support him. I just read the telegram. This Xiao Lu is really amazing. Just based on this judgment, he can thread a needle and tie Pakistan and the United States together, and use the money of the United States to sit in the business of the two companies.

It also fully demonstrates the quality that an arms dealer should have. A Type 63 rifle costs $100, and a Type 63 107 rocket launcher plus ammunition is $4,000. This is the case with our inventory equipment, let alone other things, at this sales price,

Our production costs are almost negligible. The 150 million US dollars are almost equivalent to profit, which fills our wallets! Not only that, after we have this money, we are not panicked. Whether it is the research and development of military projects or the transformation of military factories, we can face it calmly!"

"What? Now let's not say that our General Staff Equipment Department has generalized Xiao Lu's conclusion?"

"You old Tan, I'm not angry when I'm anxious, you can also make a decision!" Qian Lei could naturally hear these half-joking words from Tan Bin, so there was also a playful smile on his face:

"But I'm right, you're indeed biased in your conclusions!"

After hearing Qian Lei's words, Tan Bin was a little confused: "Oh? Why is there any bias?"

"Because Xiao Lu also has an international political expertise, you haven't summarized it!"
