Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 243 VVVIP, amazing turnover (please subscribe!)
"I have two No. 3 assault guns, a squat F-type and a common G-type, and a No. 4 assault gun that can run and shoot, but they have no shells."

Igor said a finger was raised, he liked the directness of the assault guns and destroyers.

As the final mass-produced model of Sanbalzi, the No. 3 G model was produced in thousands, and it is indeed very common in major museums.

The same is true here in Xiayu. In addition to the three front, middle and late No. 3 G-types, there is even a D-type equipped with a sand filter device that serves the North Philippine Army.

"I bought a Stalker destroyer from Yingguo some time ago. Although it only cost 50 pounds, its condition is obviously not as good as your three vehicles."

Igor looked at the fire-breathing Stalker that Cologne drove out with some envy. It seems that only 20 of these vehicles were produced in total. The most famous one was the destroyed S14.

The museum has several types of fire-breathing tanks, including Soviet, German, American, and British tanks, and a flame-throwing performance is performed every day.

There’s nothing to say about the visual effects, just pay attention to safety.

"Boom~~"

"Wow! Fuck! Oh!..."

Soon, all kinds of ghosts and wolf howls came from outside. They were excited, not burning.

"50? Did you buy the post-war version?"

Xia Yu, who knows the market situation, said that it shouldn't be so cheap, it should cost at least 100 million!

"Yes, it was the version produced by Geke after the war and exported to Swiss. I only found out after I got it."

Igor felt that he had bought a fake, even if it was produced by the original factory or after 1945, it didn't taste like that.

"The post-war version is also fine. It doesn't hurt when you fight."

Xia Yu comforted this old brother.

"That's why I'm here. I want 4 rounds of each type of shell for the first four vehicles, and 50 rounds for the Stalker."

Igor started placing orders to purchase goods.

This was just an appetizer. For the main meal, he aimed at Xia Yu's other destroyer.

Ferdinand?
No, there are not even 100 of these cars. Xia Yu hasn’t saved up yet, and he can’t change them even if he wants to.

What's more, he was still thinking that it would be impossible to use Ferdinand's electric transmission chassis to modify a Porsche Tiger.

"Mr. Weasel, can you transfer your Jaguar destroyer to me?"

Igor said, pointing to the Cheetah in the C position of the museum's destroyer exhibition hall.

This guy is pretty good at picking. Even without a rotating turret, the Cheetah destroyer uses a 71-caliber Pak 43/3 88mm anti-tank gun, and its cost is in the same range as the Tiger ($10).

The Hunter Tiger destroyer that Xia Yu saved up to this day is still missing. It costs US$5 (US dollars in the 20s) more than the King Tiger. No wonder the output is so low.

"Mr. Igor, the price of the Leopard destroyer is not as expensive as the Tiger, but it is not cheap either."

The cost at that time can only be used as a reference, and the value of the product depends on its scarcity. There are a total of three driving Cheetah destroyers in the world, and there are about two-digit model Cheetahs, which are still in major museums and private collections. exhibit.

So it is for sale and can be bought with US dollars, unlike the old King which had to be exchanged for an active tank.

"1200 million, I'll pay 1200 million US dollars!"

Igor made a direct offer.

If you say it's for sale, I'm very happy, but if you say it's not cheap, then I'm not happy.

His total assets of 43 billion US dollars can't afford to buy a Cheetah. He has collected 12 kinds of antique firearms from the 1200th century to the present. After collecting almost all of them, he switched to assault guns and destroyers.

He could afford to invest tens of millions or hundreds of millions in his hobby, but those museums were unwilling to sell it.

"make a deal!"

Xiayu also simply concluded the deal directly if the price was right.

Alexei next to him said he was not envious, which was a lie. He only sold 4 fighter jets for 200 million, while Xia Yu’s car cost 1200 million. It’s so infuriating that people are so much more popular than others.

But things can't be compared like this. None of Alexei's fighter jets can fly. It's good to make a model of it, but it's worthless to continue to park it in the aircraft graveyard.

But if it's ready like that Su-24, it can be sold for millions to 1000 million.

Xiayu's tanks and destroyers were only able to be sold at the current high prices after they were repaired and their driving and shooting abilities were restored.

In addition, more importantly, he supplies matching ammunition to customers, and provides paid repair services if it breaks. Only by doing this can he have core competitiveness.

“好的，SprGr.43榴弹50发，PzGr.39/43穿甲弹50发，Gr. 39/3 HL破甲弹50发。”

Xia Yu scribbled on his notepad.

The Cheetah ammunition is common to the King Tiger, but it contains twice as much propellant as the Tiger propellant of the same caliber and different calibers, which is why he sells it for $1 a round.

The wholesale price given to Lao Yi was 8000 yuan, so only counting the price of ammunition, he paid more than Lao Bao.

That’s how playing with real iron is. You have tight wallets and just want to hear a loud noise. Many players will use black powder to fill old cannon shells and fire them. The effect is the same as the three-eyed blunderbuss in the late Ming Dynasty. It’s still a little lethal at close range, but it’s far away. Just a bluff.

Xia Yu never expected that wholesale sales of such an old artillery shell would be more profitable than his profit from selling 122mm rockets.

Sure enough, we still have to change the track appropriately and seize the blue ocean market with less competition.

If the volume is in the wrong direction, the competition will be ineffective. Xia Yu does not do such things.

After discussing the business, he directly invited the three of them to Bogo Village for dinner.

He also said that there were too many tourists in the museum today. If there were any particular car models that they wanted to experience, he could send someone to drag them to the field training ground of the Anka Mounting Camp, and they would fly there directly to have a good time.

This is the treatment for VVVIP customers who have spent tens of millions of dollars. They don’t have to compete with ordinary tourists for space, and in addition to old cars, they can also experience these new cars from Jihuo Defense.

Several people expressed their interest in Weasel. After all, they were tired of Soviet cars.

No problem, S30 and S3 will be taken away in one train, and he will reimburse today's ammunition.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

With Xia Yu's assistance, Boris, who completed writing the target data, finally fired a shuttle of air burst bombs.

"The killing efficiency of the Ahid ammunition is indeed high. I heard that it can also be used for air defense?"

Old Bao said with emotion as he watched several dummy models wearing helmets and body armor being beaten into sieves a hundred meters away.

"Yes, we knocked down a helicopter, but professional air defense requires self-propelled anti-aircraft guns."

The elevation angle of the Weasel S30 main gun is +45° to -10°, while the elevation angle of the Cheetah anti-aircraft vehicle is +85° to -5°. The design uses are different, and the difference is really big.

"We are also developing programmable technology, but the design idea is quite unique. We use laser source components and antennas to replace the programming coils, which means that they can be typed out and then written."

Lao Bao couldn't help but complain because it looked like a roadbed version of a laser-guided bomb.

It's just that it has been changed from irradiating the target to irradiating the fired ammunition. I don't know when it will be put into service.

"So it uses a ZAK-57 anti-aircraft gun?"

After hearing Boris say that the caliber of this gun was 57mm, Xia Yu asked curiously. "Yes, it comes from the C-57 anti-aircraft gun of the ZSU-2-60, but for precision air defense, one was cut off."

Lao Bao nodded and said.

Xia Yu could now confirm that the C-60 in the front line was derived from the S60 anti-aircraft gun, which came from the same source as the KB-3 single-barreled light naval gun.

"I modified a PT-76-57. Are you interested in sending two rounds?"

"Блин! You like this too. You actually modified the prototype car that I worked so hard to get."

Boris had the pleasant surprise of discovering a kindred spirit.

Who doesn't like anti-aircraft guns? He always felt that his museum must have a PT-76-57, but this thing was not mass-produced. He could only put his idea into a prototype. Who knew that Xia Yu was such a hardcore person? I modified one myself.

But yes, it can be integrated into a platform like Weasel S30, let alone a PT-76.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

When the car arrived, each person had six or seven rounds, and the 20-round ammunition storage tray was quickly emptied.

This gun feels very good to shoot. The only drawback is that the ammunition capacity is too small. No wonder it cannot be sold. But if you treat it as a toy, the small ammunition capacity is not a disadvantage.

Several people expressed that they wanted to buy it, but Xia Yu said that you can't go directly to the Voljiagrad Tractor Factory to place an order?
"Just kidding, that factory was acquired by Kurgan a long time ago, and now it produces BMD-4, BTR-D, etc. There is no shortage of orders."

Money can make all the difference, but people have taken advantage of you and don't care about your small order of three or five cars at all.

Boris was satisfied with getting the prototype car, but when he arrived at Xiayu, he became itchy again.

His car was for collection, and it would be a waste of [-] rounds if he played with it once, which would definitely make him feel bad.

It's better to spend money to rebuild one, at least it's more powerful than the BMP-2's 2A42.

"But my car body and engine are all captured trophies. I only bought the cannon and ammunition feeder."

Xia Yu said helplessly.

"Don't worry, there are many power packages for PT-76 and BMP-2. We will send them to you together with the AU-220M (57mm gun + ammunition supply system). How about one for 50 yuan?"

Alexey confirmed.

Because he often needs to refurbish old goods, he has a relatively good relationship with those armor repair shops, so he can't help with integration, but he can still collect raw materials.

Furthermore, because the quantity is relatively small, the labor fee will be much more expensive, and this quotation is directly twice as high as that of Weasel.

"So three more PT-3-76s?"

Xia Yu took out his notepad again, turned to the last page, and added a few more strokes.

Business has been so good recently that the notebook is full in a few days, but his production capacity is still sufficient.

Full load operation means 365×24, which is 8760 working hours a year. Xiayu’s biggest consumption is the nearly 500 working hours spent on repairing the shield machine.

Next, it will take 1000 man-hours to prepare the aircraft carrier.

After all, he asked the other party for the St. Paul's logbook, which recorded that there were two fires from the broken pipeline to the boiler, and then from the broken boiler to the catapult. The situation could not be worse.

Without a system, demolition would be considered polluting, and only the sea cannot resist humans.

By the way, it’s almost there!
It's almost here, but the goods from Alexey are the first to arrive.

Xia Yu did not expect that the passenger flow on the second and third days of opening would be greater than on the first day.

Many tourists who couldn't even book youth hostels and urban hotels directly pitched tents in the museum.

Xia Yu was so busy that he had no time to accompany his VVVIP. He also had no time to pick up the goods and had them unloaded in the warehouse.

After settling the balance for Alexey, his own turnover also came up.

On the first day of opening, it was US$264.12 million, which increased to 371.64 million on the second day. On the third day, it exceeded 400 million and reached 414.77 million, for a total of 1050.53 million.

The average daily turnover is 350 million, which is a terrifying number. If this level can be stabilized, it will be 12 billion a year.

Imagination is better than reality. After the consumption potential of the first batch of enthusiasts has been released, the visitor flow of the museum will definitely drop significantly.

The 8% discount on service items back to the original price and ticket revenue can make up for it. In addition, new cars are released from time to time, which can generate a wave of passenger flow. The final revenue should be around 6 to 8 million.

This is a relatively reasonable figure. The potential of the first phase of the project is only this, so it requires continuous stimulation in the second and third phases.

Businessmen need to learn how to squeeze out toothpaste and keep your target customers fresh.

What should I do if the fun is over and everyone runs away?

Taking the middle figure of the valuation of 7 million, Xiayu's profit on the books is around 1 million.

The initial investment, damage to vehicles, bullets, shells, fuel... plus labor costs, which one does not eat up profits, so there is only so much on the books.

It will be much better in private. Xia Yu's hidden income is probably about 3 million.

If vehicle losses are halved, bullets and artillery shells are just one material cost, and if we can still be self-sufficient in fuel in the future, can we not develop in the direction of 3.5 million or 4 million?

This is the real situation. As long as he knows it, the number on his account will reach 10 billion, and some gray income will also become profit on his account.

After turning off the computer, Xia Yu took the handbag from the cashier, then left the office on the second floor of the museum and went down to the first floor.

After a day of external business, the employees drove the tanks and tracked vehicles back to their original positions one by one. If they were heavily used, they immediately inspected and maintained them. If they were in good condition, they wiped the barrels and maintained the machine guns before returning them to their positions.

Many tourists who choose to ride in a tank are too lazy to go to the shooting range. They can just load a coaxial machine gun with [-] rounds and have a blast. However, the machine gun needs to be dismantled and maintained every day.

Just dismantle it, there is no such thing as wasted work.

"Clap~Clap~Clap~~"

Xia Yu interrupted their serious work by clapping her hands.

“In the past three days, with our joint efforts, the museum has successfully opened and achieved successive breakthroughs in sales. I am not a stingy boss, and I am willing to share our success with everyone present, with $500 per person! "

No more nonsense, just send the money.

His move instantly won everyone's cheers.

At 500 US dollars per person, 100 people only cost 5. A small investment can exchange for a higher passion for work. At the same time, as he said, the joy of success needs to be shared.

Putting down what they were doing, the black guys lined up happily to receive red envelopes from their bosses.

After distributing money to the main building, Xia Yu went to Wani Village, the shooting range, the artillery shooting range, and the gas station to distribute the money to everyone.

Of course, there are also the guys who focus on fire defense.

"cheers!"

Countless beer bottles collided together, and Kuhn Craft Brewing released another batch, just in time for the celebration banquet.

　The efficiency is not high today, there are many numbers to consider.
