Hearing that Li Changheng spoke with 100 M1 main battle tanks with a total value of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, Esther's expression was overwhelmed.

But within two seconds his expression collapsed.

The other arms dealers on the scene were surprised at first, and then all laughed happily after thinking of everything.

Esther really wants to agree to this order for General Dynamics, because the prototype was built in 1973, and the two M1 tanks have been doing various performance tests. At this time, the price of 11 million is absolutely high and people dare not ask. ask.

In the future, the M1 has undergone a large-scale construction of more than 7,500 vehicles, and after two upgraded versions of the M1A1 and M1A2 are released, the unit price of the M1 has dropped to 8.5 million U.S. dollars per car.

But that is 3 to 40 years later. At this time, the 11 million US dollars are more expensive than Li Changheng’s 707 private jet.

The Boyin 747 is only about 3,000 US dollars.

Even the unit price of the F14 Tomcat fighter jet sold to the Navy is 60 million US dollars, and it is only 70 million US dollars sold to Selie, Saudi Arabia and England.

Compared with the Leopard 1 tank that was tested in the US, the price was only 8 million U.S. dollars.

Note that this is a quotation and not a unit price.

But no matter how much Este is willing, the fact is that Li Changheng is unable to sell Apache, and Congress will definitely not approve the deal.

As for the design of the M1 tank bidding completed by Chrysler, Esther did not care at all, because Chrysler wanted to build the M1, not only the engine and turret had to be purchased from GM.

Even the shells are provided by GM.

These three are the core and most profitable part of a tank in addition to the protective steel plate and chassis.

Otherwise, the test of the prototype of the M1 tank will not be clearly led by Chrysler, but it is General Dynamics that secretly masters the project.

Since M1 can't be sold, but if you sell M60 tanks, Este will not only be a bit reconciled because of a sharp drop in profits by a factor of two.

Moreover, this business may not fall to the head of General Dynamics, but will be snatched by the US military.

After the Vietnam War, the United States not only threw a large amount of weapons and equipment directly at the Yue men.

There are also weapons that are produced in large quantities in the country, but they are nowhere to be used. In the future, they will inevitably be eliminated by new weapons or upgraded new weapons.

As the main battle tank of the United States in the 1960s, the M60A1 tank has already proposed an improved A2 model and the Congress has always wanted to reduce military expenditures. Let alone sell 100 vehicles to Saudi Arabia and other countries, 500 U.S. military dare to sell. .

Once the news comes out, GM will be suppressed by all forces and the military's orders for A2 tanks, and will have to withdraw from this competition.

Esther could not help but look at Boin's Payne and Grumman's Brett with envy while cursing helplessly in his heart.

Fortunately, Boyin said that the civil aviation market is already full of food.

And Grumman almost went bankrupt two years ago because of the F14 project.

But only two years later, the task of this company's production line has been scheduled to the point where production will not be finished after five years.

Based on the total order of 150 aircraft, England has 12 aircraft and Saudi Arabia has 24 aircraft. The island countries are also negotiating a contract for 24 aircraft.

A total of 210 orders worth 14.7 billion U.S. dollars of contracts are enough to make Grumman not worry about running out of business for the next ten years.

Not to mention that the F14 purchased by the United States will definitely not be less than a few hundred, or thousands.

And Boyin also made a fortune because of the F14 engine, and its market value has soared by several percent.

The most powerful one is Grumman. From the time when Li Changheng bought it, his valuation of only 200 million has soared to more than 2 billion US dollars.

Suddenly, Esther's mind unexpectedly came to mind whether GM would also include Li Changheng on the board of directors.

Even if it sells 5% of its shares at a price below the market price, if it can get orders of tens or tens of billions of dollars like Grumman, GM's market value skyrocketing two or three billion is as simple as drinking water.

Thinking of this, Este had no idea of ​​offending Li Changheng in an instant, instead he didn't care at all that he was tricked by Li Changheng just now.

"SIR, if you don't mind, General Dynamics is willing to help you contact the U.S. military and sell the 150 M60 tanks that have only been tested at the Klerstai base and have not even had time to get on the battlefield.

And with the quotation of ammunition, it should not exceed $600 million. "

Lee Chang-hyung did not immediately agree. The other people thought that Este was crazy, and then, like Lee Chang-hyung, they understood that Este knew that he could not get the order. It would be better to deal with the U.S. military at the same time. Li Changheng's relationship.

After this friendship, Li Changheng will not be able to target General Dynamics for a new batch of tanks from Saudi Arabia in the future.

As for the weapons that Boyin and Grumman can build, that's another story.

And 150 tanks plus ammunition are only 600 million, which is equivalent to a unit price of 4 million U.S. dollars, accounting for only one-third of the 1.7 billion U.S. dollar order that Li Changheng holds.

With 1.1 billion US dollars left to other military industry companies, GM has withdrawn from the competition, so no one will find GM trouble in this transaction ~lightnovelpub.net~.

Because no one can offer a price lower than $4 million.

For the negotiation of other weapons orders, Li Changheng directly handed over to Boyin and Grumman, and he and the senator who came out to greet him introduced each other and question marks, and then walked into the parliament building to participate in today’s special order for Saudi Arabia, as well as US dollars. Hearings linked to oil.

Since the two matters are beneficial to capital, large and small, apart from the specific negotiation conditions and details, this hearing is basically just a cutscene for ordinary people.

Of course, Li Changheng will not go into too detailed details, and only talk about the good side of the United States.

Even if someone makes things difficult for him, Li Changheng directly throws the pot on some sensitive issues to the U.S. government and major oil groups.

Some politicians and reporters who want to take the opportunity to make trouble can only scold Li Changheng for being cunning, but helpless with him.

This matter was broadcast live throughout the United States, and most ordinary people don't care about topics such as national security and international influence.

Instead, the focus is on what Li Changheng said. Once the U.S. dollar is linked to oil, it will not only allow the U.S. dollar to regain the U.S. dollar hegemony, but it will also stabilize the topic of rising oil prices in a short period of time.

This is not only related to one's daily expenses, but also to whether the work of countless people can be kept.

As for the specific negotiation conditions and details, many people think that what Li Changheng said is correct, that it is the problem and responsibility of the U.S. government.

After the hearing lasted more than an hour, someone on the scene saw a Donkey Party senator named Lamond who had been holding the Middle East oil into the United States. He would not let go of a topic that would have a huge impact on the small and medium-sized oil companies in the United States, and could not help but shout out loud. This is Rammond's words ignoring the interests of most ordinary people.

In an instant, the whole hearing was chaotic as a vegetable market.
