Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1156 Procurement Intention
"However, this price of 1.5 billion rubles is really too low." Jiang Yan sighed.

He is not taking advantage of others. He has to maintain his image as a good person in Russia. Although he doesn't care so much in Ukraine, he still has to save face.

"Mr. Gong, we will donate 500 tons of supplies to the Ukrainian government in the name of our company. But we need to make this a bigger event." Jiang Yan thought for a while and spoke to Gong Yiwei.

"Five hundred tons of supplies, my God! Jiang, this is the best news I have heard today." Before Gong Yiwei could speak, Mark, who was following him, lit up his eyes when he heard Jiang Yan's words. He was so short of supplies, and this batch of supplies could solve a lot of problems.

"I can contact Ukraine's Pravda and publicize you so that the whole of Ukraine will know about Jiang and your good deeds." Mark spoke again.

To be honest, this is really possible. Publicize it if possible. The bigger the publicity, the better. Let them know about Jiang Yan's good deeds. This will also make Jiang Yan feel better. After all, he did get a lot of benefits by buying this big hotel.

After resting for a while in his room in the hotel, there was a knock on his door. Jiang Yan opened the door and saw Mark and a man about fifty years old standing at his door.

"Jiang, this is our Minister of the Ukrainian Aviation Industry and also a member of the Liquidation Committee, Comrade Sim."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was also a little confused. Three hours ago, he had just mentioned that he wanted Jiang Yan to buy a plane, and this guy brought it here now. This seemed a bit impatient, but this also indirectly showed that Ukraine is really short of money now.

"Hello, Minister Sim, it's nice to meet you." Jiang Yan smiled and extended his hand.

If there is anyone who is most worried, it is undoubtedly Minister Sim. The weapons of the army and navy are okay. A large part of the navy's weapons are still in the shipyards, and the army's weapons have a good market in themselves, with many countries purchasing them. But the air force is not something that every country can handle. What's more, the market for Soviet aircraft is much more limited than that for Western aircraft. This time, having inherited so many aircraft from the Soviet Union, the maintenance costs alone are enough to give people a headache.

Sim immediately showed an expression of being flattered, held Jiang Yan's hands with both hands, and shook them vigorously, "Mr. Jiang, I am also very happy to meet you. Mr. Jiang's name is well-known throughout the whole of Russia. Today, Mark Market told me that you want to buy some airplanes. I will take care of all these."

When Sim received a call from Mayor Mark today, he jumped up immediately. He knew Mr. Jiang, who was a rich man, very rich, and was said to be the richest man in Mao.

So he put down the phone and couldn't wait to find Mark Market. It took him a lot of persuasion to get Mark to take him to find Mr. Jiang. He also knew that this was an opportunity not to be missed.

"Okay, you guys chat! I have some things over there that need to be dealt with. Jiang, Sim is one of us, you can just tell me what's on your mind." Mark spoke again before leaving.

"Okay, Mark, I'll have a gift for you later. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Jiang Yan said to Mark with a smile.

"Then I'll wait for your gift." Mark said.

"Minister Sim, you came too hastily. I only have a temporary procurement plan here. This plan was originally intended to purchase in Russia. Since you are one of us, you can take a look and see what we can provide." After letting Sim come into the house and sit down, Jiang Yan took out a plan for purchasing aircraft and handed it directly to Minister Sim.

After Sim received the plan, he said without even glancing at it: "Mr. Jiang, we know about your heroic deeds in Russia, and I am quite aware of your good deeds. Since you have chosen to help us Ukraine, I, Sim, agree with you one thousand and ten thousand times. The plan doesn't matter. I will do whatever you want me to do." "Mark Market also said just now that we are family, so you can just call me Sim."

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking Sim up and down, with some amusement in his heart. Apart from anything else, Sim's words were quite smooth, and a bit like hitting the snake with a stick. He was really kind-hearted but had a wicked heart. He definitely deserved his position as minister.

"President Kravchuk said before that Ukraine does not need to keep so many bombers or fighter jets. We just need to keep ourselves from being bullied. Now our president is preparing to sign a peace agreement with countries like the United States. At that time, Ukraine's sky will be peaceful. Otherwise, a liquidation committee would not be established. It is in the interests of the Ukrainian people for us to sell these obsolete weapons in exchange for funds or materials."

Jiang Yan knew about this peace treaty. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine inherited part of its huge nuclear arsenal and became the world's third largest nuclear power. In 1994, Ukraine decided to give up and destroy its nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees of its national security and independence from the United States, Britain and Russia. The four countries finally reached an agreement and jointly signed the Budapest Memorandum of Security Assurances.

Even after Ukraine actually destroyed its nuclear weapons, Russia's relationship with it was still not very friendly.

"For example, if you want to buy a Tu-95, the price can be discounted."

"Sim, I want the Tu-154, not the Tu-95. The former is just a passenger plane, and the Il-76 transport plane I use as a cargo plane. Do you understand?"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Jiang Yan had never expected that the first thing Sim would sell was a bomber. Could it be that Mark hadn't told him what he wanted to buy?

Could it be that he thought he was an arms dealer? Besides, a bomber, a national weapon, would not be sold to anyone casually? So after Jiang Yan finished speaking, he looked at him with a puzzled expression.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Yan felt relieved. In this chaotic era, even nuclear bombs can be sold, so what is a mere bomber?

Besides, weren’t these big guys sold by the ministers and leaders? It’s impossible for a private to sell the nuclear bomb.

When Sim heard Jiang Yan's words, a blush appeared on his well-tested face. This misunderstanding was a bit funny.

He only heard Mayor Mark say that Jiang Yan wanted to buy a few big ones, and his thoughts couldn't help but run to bombers. He naturally knew the importance of bombers. He originally thought that Mr. Jiang should buy the planes for their own country. Based on the fact that there is no geopolitical relationship between the two countries, it is sold. This is a policy allowed by the country. This is embarrassing.

Sim coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "Mr. Jiang, if you want Tu-154 and Il-76, it doesn't matter. I can get as many as you want, and I can give you a suitable price."

"Is this okay?" Jiang Yan looked at Sim with a smile.

"As long as it's proposed by Mr. Jiang, there's no problem." Sim said with a smile.
