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

Chapter 295 It’s a big deal, stock up (please vote for me!)

Xia Yu was telling the truth. When his net worth was only a few hundred or tens of millions, he must have known how much money he had on hand, but now he doesn't just make money by attacking business.

In addition to the daily turnover of the museum, the wholesale and retail of antique arms, the concurrent sales of modern weapons and equipment, and other tertiary industries, the system is used to purify scrap metal, precious metals, etc.

Xia Yu actually has a lot of money, as well as the funds that are only on the surface.

Just like the Christmas dividend last week, the money paid to employees was all money from the company's account, and the cash and gold of various denominations were placed in the cargo compartment of the heavy truck in the system's No. 3 garage.

Xia Yu doesn't just sit around with all the money in his account. He will speculate in stocks and make some long-term investments. After all, this is an era of inflation.

With Xia Yu's current earning power, it is enough to ensure a certain amount of cash flow, and he still has a large amount of gold on hand.

Alexey suddenly asked how much money he had on hand. It was definitely not enough money, but it was not just as simple as borrowing money from him.

The relationship between them is a normal relationship between Party A and Party B. If they really ask, they will only borrow a million, or mention the advance payment ratio, but there is definitely nothing they can do to deal with the funding gap of tens of millions.

Xia Yu is very sober and Alexei is self-aware, so this is not what he wants to say.

"Didn't you order 4 MiG-29s with me? If you have a chance, you can buy a few more dismantled parts at a cheaper price. Do you want to?"

Alexei said directly after he had estimated Xia Yu's net worth based on the museum's popular visitor flow.

There was something wrong with his business in Afika, and he was robbed of more than 2000 million in payment, so he only had 2500 million US dollars in cash, but he encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase goods.

If he catches it and eats this batch of goods, Alexei can digest it for a whole year, but the profit is high and the risk is high. Even if the payment is settled, he cannot bet all the cash flow, especially this The follow-up investment of a business requires continuous investment.

So he planned to find someone to cooperate with him so that he could share the risk.

After Alexey combed through his circle of friends, he found that the client Xia Yu was the most suitable candidate.

Because the other party has its own channels and can independently modify and upgrade its fighter jets, they can only add a little to the purchase price for each transaction and cannot earn the premium for modern modifications and upgrades.

Instead of doing this, Alexei might as well not make any profit and directly involve the other party to share the purchase pressure.

"The price is cheap and I can buy a few more. Of course I think about it, but is this really such a good thing?"

Xia Yu expressed great interest because any vehicle is a consumable, especially if it is used intensively, it will be consumed faster.

Therefore, the MiG-29 he wants to buy cannot be the 50 model aircraft from the past. It must have a few flying hours and a good enough maintenance condition to be worthy of being modified and put into operation.

Correspondingly, his budget has also been increased to 120 million to 180 million per aircraft, and he is planning to purchase some single-seat old fulcrum disassembly parts for cover after the third phase of the museum project is put into operation.

To make a complete set, this level of investment is necessary. It is better to buy early than to buy late. Buying it at once can save him a lot of trouble.

"You will know when you visit the Kazakhstan Air Force. Their air force is preparing to liquidate a batch of old aircraft to raise budget for continued replacement with Su-30SM."

Alexey did not continue to talk in circles and stated the reason straightforwardly.

"Oh? Is there still such a thing?"

As a member republic of the former Alliance, Kazakhstan did receive a lot of good things back then, but compared to the flourishing Flanker family after the disintegration, their old MiGs and old Sukhois were indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

Purchasing new aircraft in line with the times is the right choice. Those old fighter jets can also be repurchased second-hand. The price of four Su-50SMs is 4 billion rubles. How many old aircraft does Kazakhstan need to sell to make up for it? Fight!

“没错，他们一共要卖117架，机型涵盖了苏-24、苏-25、苏-27，还有米格-27、米格29、米格31这些。”

Alexei continued to introduce.

Except for the MiG-29, the rest have entered Xia Yu's collection, but it is okay to buy a few more and prepare them for sale.

Afika is well aware of its spending power. Most of its new fighter jets are high-end training aircraft. Second-hand ones, they prefer Soviet fighter-bombers and ground-licking aircraft, so the Su-24 and Su-25 are both selling well.

But the Su-24 is Alexei's flagship product, and I believe the other party is also targeting this piece of fat this time.

Harmony brings wealth. Xia Yu is definitely not willing to buy this model with his opponent, so he will settle for the next best thing. He believes that the Su-25 will be a good choice.

There is no need for modernization and upgrading, just some repairs and maintenance, and it is quite competitive if sold for three to five million, because the cheapest new Su-25 is tens of millions, which is to kill the black brothers as wild boars.

This made Xia Yu feel that he had an obligation to lower the price so that more Afika countries could experience the joy of licking the ground.

"So much! What's the approximate price? How do they plan to sell it?"

He continued asking for more information.

“能打包当然是打包出售的，总共117架他们打算要500亿坚戈，可这些飞机里最值钱的就是15架米格-29和21架米格-31，我最想要的那15架苏-24，有10架的情况都不容乐观，只能拆了给那5架好点的当配件库。”

"So the price can be negotiated a little lower. If we pay in US dollars, I believe it can be lowered."

Alexei reported the price, and Xia Yu took out his mobile phone to search for the exchange rate of the Kazakh tantalum tenge. Then he multiplied it with a calculator and came up with the price - US$1.47 million.

With so much money, Xia Yu couldn't even afford half of it, but as Alexei said, the price could still be negotiated.

"You're relatively familiar with the people there. How much pressure do you think you can get in the end?"

He asked the most crucial question.

The old man is right over there, and his experts are evaluating each fighter jet. Even though the valuation is only half, he is definitely sure of the price.

"I think it can be reduced to no more than 1 million U.S. dollars. The wholesale price is so expensive, and few people have the strength to digest it. They also know it, so they just raise the price a little higher first, so as to take the initiative in negotiations."

"I have already seen the 15 MiG-29s. The 6 two-seat MiG-29UBs are all in good condition. The remaining 9 single-seat MiG-29Ss have 6 that are quite badly used. You can only disassemble the accessories."

"I have mobilized all my connections and should be able to solve 70% of the funds, and there is still a 30% gap. I need your help, Mr. Sherlock."

"If you are willing to seize this opportunity, I will raise the remaining money to supply you within a year, or if you have anything you want to buy, I will give you the best discount to offset it."

At this point, Alexey already explained the reason why he asked Xia Yu how much money he had in the first place.

咱先按1个亿算，30%就是3000万美元，按他说的情况，打包那15架米格-29都不用2000万。

There was also 1000 million that Xia Yu "borrowed" from him. Of course, he could also directly choose a plane of equal value without following these two methods.

Although the purchase unit price of the non-flyable Su-20A is 25, it can certainly make more profits by selling it as a whole, but one or two is easy to explain. It is certainly unreasonable to have more. But this kind of Su-25K that still maintains the ability to fly is very Fragrant.

Xia Yu thought of surfing the Internet some time ago and saw that Sanmao White Osmium Ross and Kazakhstan Tantalum signed a contract to overhaul and upgrade six Su-6UBs.

It's not that other Su-25Ks have no upgrade value, but that they plan to streamline the size of the attack aircraft fleet. It is enough to equip 6 modern Frogfoots and sell the rest.

If he eats this batch of Su-25Ks sold, the price will definitely be cheaper than usual, and it can also solve the source problem, so why not do it?

There is no need to say so much on the phone. Specific matters can be discussed after he goes to Kazakhstan. Xia Yu is already planning to go to Central Asia before returning to China. If everything goes well, he can rent a few trains and send 6 MiG-29UBs back to his hometown by train.

He plans to strengthen the 2 more aircraft than originally planned and use them as backup for the 4 operating aircraft. The same goes for the Spey Phantoms and Navy Phantoms. The purchase price is not expensive anyway, so buying a few more aircraft will not help. It takes up too much money.

"I'll raise the money as soon as possible and I'll be there tomorrow night at the latest. We'll discuss the details in person."

"I'm waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu directly logged into several bank apps and checked the funds in his account.

Because the largest recent income was used to offset a transport helicopter and a turboprop transport aircraft, the money on the account was only 5000 million.

Leaving 1000 million for emergencies, he can call up to 4000 million US dollars.

As long as Alexei can bring the total price to less than 1 million US dollars, this 4000 million will be enough.

Not to mention that not all the money is deposited in the bank. Xia Yu still has tens of millions in cash, plus absolutely over 100 million in gold. This alone has more cash flow than many listed companies.

We are considered to have a small fortune, and the money we plan to spend this time will be able to earn back ten times or a hundred times in a few years. It can be said to be the most correct investment.

"Are you leaving again?"

After entering the room, Liv asked Xia Yu when she saw that Xia Yu had just put down her luggage and booked a flight online.

"There is a big business deal involving the subsequent development of the museum. I have to go there in person."

Xia Yu hugged his girlfriend and kissed her.

"When I return to China next month, I won't leave you for a day."

During this period of time, he was really busy, rushing to deliver to customers and others to deliver to him. Before he even touched a few of the newly acquired Chinooks, he had to go abroad to purchase them again. He was born with a hard life. This is what he is talking about!

"That's not the case. Love is not everything in life. It's better to leave some space for each other."

Liv's character is more rational, that is, she is not so love-minded. In a special industry like theirs, this is very important.

"It's quite good. Many of my friends in China prefer to stay in the car than going home. It seems that only time in the car is their own."

Most of the classmates and comrades who are about the same age as Xia Yu are married and have children, but not all of them have a happy married life.

From an analysis point of view, the problem is not too big, it is that the husband and wife do not have their own space, which also makes Xia Yu, an older, unmarried young man, have more to think about.

"At least they are already married. Even if marriage can reduce taxes in Germany, more and more people fall in love and have children before getting married."

Liv is not shy about this.

Yes, that's another version.

"Then are you willing to marry me first and then have children?"

After buying the ticket, Xia Yu continued on this topic.

"It's a bit sudden, but as long as you formally propose to me..."

Liv only said half of her words before her eyes looked into Xia Yu's eyes.

Of course she agreed to him. Liv had already examined her heart and she liked her current life.

Xia Yu will propose, but not now.

After dinner, he called all employees for an internal meeting to discuss work arrangements for the next period of time.

"Glider, follow Warrant Officer Saul and learn hard, and master this CH-47D as soon as possible."

Xia Yu is easy to fly once you get started. It doesn't matter if you can't catch up on the training. Andre, who is coming into contact with American helicopters for the first time, still needs to take it seriously.

"Yes, boss, I will definitely work hard."

Andre said solemnly.

"And Shrew, master the basic driving of Super Hornet as soon as possible, and I will give you a salary increase when the time comes."

Xia Yu encouraged Leman again.

Apart from himself, the company only has Andre, a full-time helicopter pilot, and the manpower is slowly running out.

It is necessary to recruit more people, but the company needs employees to be versatile and allow Lehmann to go deep into the French helicopter, so that he can be on top at critical moments.

As for Kohler, Xia Yu plans to train the young man for another year and then promote him to the position of commander.

The old team will definitely have more development opportunities, while the newcomers need to be better.

Xia Yu already has certain ideas about the construction of a new vehicle group. Fire Defense may adjust its previous model and introduce new forces.

Then there is the need to build a combat system around the two newly installed transport aircraft. There are many configurable "games", and they have to try out the most suitable one in actual combat.

"Mole, I had a phone call with Colonel Monier at Camp Oga yesterday. He said that our C-160 will arrive in two days. I won't be there at that time. You can go over and be responsible for receiving it. "

Xia Yu said to Kuen again.

"Yes, boss, but I still miss the C-160."

Germany also has C-160. Kuhn has been in the C- for a long time and has flown it more times than Hans and others.

Even Germany's C-160 is gradually being retired and being slowly replaced by the A400M.

The C-160 that focuses on fire defense also needs to recruit pilots. Xia Yu can only fly one. He can't fly transport aircraft all the time.

As for whether to recruit Chinese or Germans, it depends on the situation.

Xiayu likes to use German technical employees for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. There is no special preference for helicopters, transport aircraft, and fighter jets. Priority is given to those with driving experience.

But the Turqi people had better forget it. The Huskies were also equipped with C-160s, and there seemed to be a lot of them.

"With the transport plane, it will be much more convenient for us to travel to and from Konluga. Even if the army does not provide logistical support, we can provide it ourselves."

Hans said happily.
