1425 What should I buy for Saudi Arabia?
"You have sold all the industrial system to Egypt. With their position in the Arab League and the entire Africa, this will create a huge competition for our future market. What's more, what else can you sell when you go to Saudi Arabia this time? You can't continue to sell such a plan!" The attitude of the big boss Qian is very obvious. Now that you have sold it to Egypt for its own manufacturing ability, what else can you sell it to Saudi Arabia?
Although the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Egypt was broken off when they signed a peace agreement with Israel, it was soon restored.
Moreover, Saudi Arabia is now asking Egypt to garrison them. This time, Egypt buys weapons and equipment, and a large part of the funds are derived from Saudi Arabia's free aid.
"Chief, do you think, even if we provide it, how long will it take for them to produce it? Even in the early stages, we have to provide key tank guns, engines and even the entire fire control system. Do you think we will have less profits on this?" Liu Yijiu said with a smile.
Boss Qian was stunned and then laughed.
Liu Yijiu did not end, "Besides, the manufacturing technology we sell is that Longwei is relatively advanced, but at most, we export the production line of the J-7 or J-8ii. They still have to buy top-level fighter jets. Once they are used to using our fighter jet design, do you think they are the more advanced ones who have the advantage of low cost performance, or the United States or the Soviet Union? First of all, our biggest advantage is that the arms sales orders will not be attached to any political conditions..."
In the world arms market, the top weapons and equipment are basically the result of political competitions and balance between various countries.
China's share in the world arms market is too low. Of course, when sold by the state, some issues will be taken into account. The most important thing is technology confidentiality.
The reason why fighter jets like J-11 are not banned is that this is a technical copy of the F-14, so there is no need to worry about technical leaks. At the same time, there is a more advanced J-10 in China, and J-20, which has been developed for a long time.
The Dragon Guard tank was sold from the beginning, so there is no need to worry about technical leaks. The real core graphene armor was not reflected in the exported tank. It only uses graphite fiber armor.
Compared with depleted uranium armor and Chobam armor, even corundum armor is of the same level, which is far inferior to graphene armor.
After all, when it comes to the Destroyer, he basically starts to use graphene armor in large quantities.
Otherwise, such a large tank would be broken by the weight of armor just.
Therefore, Liu Yijiu has considered much less in these aspects.
He is indeed a little trouble now. Saudi Arabia is different from Egypt. Americans will not give up the Saudi market so easily. This country has always been the largest arms procurement country in the United States, and all kinds of advanced equipment are basically from the United States.
Except for the time when the Dongfeng-3 was sold, some other weapons and equipment were sold, and the crisis brought about by Iraq's occupation of Kuwait this time, Saudi Arabia did not express its intention to purchase weapons and equipment from China.
Perhaps, this is why the senior management hopes that Liu Yijiu will come.
Liu Yijiu is indeed having a headache, what does Saudi Arabia sell to them? If more weapons and equipment such as Longwei and J-11 can be sold to Saudi Arabia, he may be able to obtain hundreds of billions of dollars in subsequent orders in the future.
However, after the American F-14 is copied from China, it is likely to be sold to Saudi Arabia. The tanks have improved m1a1 and more types of missiles.
In addition, Saudi Arabia has always purchased Western-style weapons and equipment and is accustomed to using weapons and equipment from Western countries. Although China's weapons and equipment are currently combined with the United States and the Soviet Union, there are still big differences in operating habits.
"Saudi Arabia is different from Egypt. First of all, they are not short of money. You should be clear about this point. The United States will not give up arms sales to Saudi Arabia easily. They will definitely not let us complete the transaction easily in this regard. When the Dongfeng-3 was sold, it was also fast enough. The Americans did not react, otherwise there would be basically no possibility..." Big Brother Qian did not understand the performance of weapons and equipment, but he knew very clearly the various relationships between countries.
As the Foreign Minister, these are the ones that are most clear about.
"Also, considering political factors, these are factors that cannot be allowed by Americans to sell high-end equipment to Iran. Once we succeed, their influence in the Gulf region will be seriously affected, which is in a very big conflict with their entire country's strategy..." Mr. Qian said this very seriously.
He was worried that Liu Yijiu would not consider these issues.
Saudi Arabia is the largest customer, and if possible, they can even equip their air force ground crew with fighter jets…
More importantly, the US military needs to strengthen its presence in this area.
The United States' attitude is very obvious. They attack Iraq, which is already ready.
The encounter between James Baker and the other party at the airport was very obvious.
The US army of 500,000 has been prepared, and even a large part of it has been transported to Saudi Arabia. From this, we can see a lot.
"Sometimes, even though we know that the possibility of things is very small, we can't just give up like this. Maybe there are accidents. Saudi Arabia has Dongfeng-3, but if we don't agree, that thing is just a strategic deterrent. As for other weapons and equipment, it can only depend on the situation this time. Just like you, there is no plan or plan, and if there is a chance, you won't give up... It's difficult for Saudi Arabia to do it.
Liu Yijiu knows.
This is not only because Saudi Arabia itself is not short of money, but also because the United States will not give up.
In addition to strategic weapons, Saudi Arabia is probably not very interested in China. More importantly, Saudi Arabia and the United States have some unexplained interest relations. Otherwise, just the United States supports Israel to steal a large amount of land from the Arabs, it will be enough to make them always enemies with the United States.
There are too many political factors to consider in exchanges between countries.
When purchasing and selling weapons and equipment, you only buy the best ones, not the best ones.
Just like the original world, the Republic clearly had a large domestic aircraft, and the ultimate leader had to give Boeing and Airbus tens of billions of dollars in orders, which was interfered with political factors.
Similarly, even though the Republic clearly has J-20 and J-31, the Republic still has to buy dozens of garbage Su-35s from the Russians; even if it has Taihang engines, it still has to purchase Russians' engines; if it has Yun20, it has to buy Il-78s they have improved from Il-76!
Everything is for the interests of the country and the nation.
Many times, many decisions are helpless.
Therefore, Liu Yijiu is really not sure about Saudi Arabia.
It was an accident in Egypt that their little oil output could not affect the entire world at all unless they blocked the Suez Canal.
"I have considered this. So, I am not sure about the negotiations with Saudi Arabia on this aspect. Even if they have huge demands, they will care about the opinions of the United States, especially since the United States has hundreds of thousands of troops now heading to Saudi Arabia..." Liu Yijiu sighed.
Does the Saudi royal family have such courage?
Hundreds of thousands of American troops are stationed in their territory and are about to deal with Saddam. How many military purchase contracts can they reach with China?
"It is a good thing to be successful, and even if it is not successful, it is not a bad thing. After all, we are here this time not for this..."
"That's your old man. If I can't achieve results, what's wrong?" Liu Yijiu didn't hold his complaints in his heart just because the other party was the Foreign Minister. "If it weren't for your threat, I wouldn't want to come here!"
"Anyway, I'll come." Big Boss Qian was not angry at all. "After all, this is not for the personal interests of ours, but for the development of the entire country and nation. Even for the national defense cause of the entire country. All the government's funds are used for economic construction, and there is not much money to invest in the military industry..."
This is a fact.
In addition to a small amount of military expenditure, many of the military-affiliated systems under the military began to raise funds themselves. The Ninth Academy has ten years of experience and has made such a big achievement. It is not a particularly important core project, and the government basically invests very little money.
If a military-industrial unit cannot support it and cannot keep up, the final result is a restructuring. If the restructuring cannot be successful, then it will only be merged by other units and bankruptcy and reorganized.
Although the Chinese industry currently has huge orders for export due to exports, these orders are only concentrated in a few key military industry fields, most of which belong to the Ninth Academy, and other units are not good, especially naval equipment and even aerospace that requires the greatest investment.
In order to develop manned space flight projects, China has invested a lot of domestic funds.
Otherwise, even when the orders are sufficient and the production capacity is insufficient, Liu Yijiu will still be allowed to go to the Middle East and take this opportunity to sell domestic weapons and equipment.
"This is true. Since we are here, we naturally have to find opportunities. Even if there is no large arms sales order, we have to export high-quality products, right?" Liu Yijiu said indifferently.
When you come, you will naturally not return empty-handed.
If it really doesn't work, go to Jordan and talk to Iraq about something else. Anyway, China has a channel to Iraq, so embargo is useless.
