Chapter 148: The Prince's Help
Aled had a private hunting ground in the Congo and spent one night in Kutos, and the next day the group diverted to the Congo and stayed in his hunting grounds for three days before returning to Kutos.
For three days, a few people just played to their heart's content, hunting during the day, barbecuing and drinking at night, and there was no mention of the weapons bidding meeting.
"How many more days?" After getting off the plane, Xiao Yang asked Alaed.
"There are more fish in the Somali waters than in the Persian Gulf, so I will go fishing tomorrow and go back the day after tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
There is a yacht in the name of the company, not bought by them, but by the former "city lord" of Kutos who was beaten down by Decca and sold to them, although it is not the most luxurious, it is also quite good.
During the three days in Congo, they were spent in the wild, and Xiao Yang did not arrange any programs that night, but let Aled have a good night's rest.
If you want to catch a big fish in the sea, you must catch the current, Aled is a professional enthusiast, no matter where he goes, he carries his professional fishing tackle on the plane, and it is only two o'clock in the morning, he calls Xiao Yang and them.
"Fishing so early? Is it necessary? Xiao Yang also often plays the activity of fishing, but when he thinks about it, he runs to the dock with a fishing rod, and he never thinks about getting up in the middle of the night like Aled.
"Young, not as good as a half-old man like me?" Wearing a fishing outfit and a life jacket on the outside, Adeed was absolutely professional, "Hurry up and clean up, wait until you miss the current." ”
Maybe it was because they were new to the sea and were not familiar with the fish, and after a few people went out to sea, they fished for several hours, but they didn't encounter any big fish, and in the end Aled looked really hopeless, so he put down the fishing rod and chatted with Xiao Yang.
After a few topics, he changed his words, "Tell me, which projects are you going to participate in?" ”
Xiao Yang only regarded Aled's character, and suddenly heard him ask, he didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "None, man-machine and self-propelled artillery." ”
The unmanned and unmanned Aled knows, but what is the self-propelled gun, he doesn't have an impression in his mind, but he is the kind of person who "doesn't shamefully ask", "What kind of gun is the self-propelled gun?" ”
If you want to say technical terms, he must not understand, Xiao Yang thought about it and told him, "It's similar to a tank, except that the barrel is longer, the muzzle is larger, and of course the power is much greater." ”
As soon as he said this, Aled understood what it was like and nodded, "Which domestic product are you going to sell?" ”
"Chinese."
"Chinese?"
Aled frowned, it's not that he can't see China's weapons clearly, but he usually doesn't care about the military at all, and he doesn't know the level of weapons of various countries at all.
How could Xiao Yang not know about this situation? Immediately said: "Although I am Chinese, but absolutely not boastful, none, man-machine and self-propelled artillery, China's products are really no worse than any country, I just need your help to confirm that there is no dark box operation, I will deal with the rest myself, when the time comes, it will become, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work." ”
Aled always thought that Xiao Yang wanted him to help "make an internal decision", but he didn't expect to just ask him to help ensure the fairness of the bidding meeting.
If it's an internal decision, he's really a little troublesome, but if it's just to ensure fairness, it's really simple.
"That's fine." He said it right away, but he had something else in mind.
"Thank you then."
"It's just a trivial matter, when I go back, I'll help you ask about the budget, and I'll tell you when the time comes."
Public bidding, there is always a budget, even in a tyrant country like Saudi Arabia, Xiao Yang is naturally overjoyed by Aled's move.
He is not pretentious, there is a shortcut and he does not go to the person, if he can get this, then he can make a targeted bidding document, without considering special factors, it is very certain to win the bid.
This is only a "small grade" worse than the internal determination.
The next day, Aled left, and a man like him, who was foaming at the mouth and spitting a nail, would definitely do what he had promised, and on the afternoon of the second day in Somalia, where he left, he called and told Xiao Yang the budget for the two projects of none, man-machine and self-propelled artillery.
After getting the news, Xiao Yang thanked him well.
"Verbal thanks are a fart, it's better to be practical." Aled is also a wonderful person, in front of outsiders, he is a polite gentleman, but in front of Xiao Yang, he is like a complete ruffian, always foul-mouthed.
He should really be thanked, thinking of this guy's hobby, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Actually? No problem, I'll get you a Mustang another day. ”
The Mustang he was talking about was not the kind of horse that could be ridden, nor was it a Mustang car, but a famous fighter jet from World War II.
This thing has been discontinued since the sixties of the last century, and if you can see it, it is basically in the hands of museums or private collectors, even if Aled is a prince and has money in his pocket, he has not been able to get one.
"Really?" This can be regarded as a matter of his heart, Aled asked in surprise.
"Seriously, if it's faster, I'll give you news in a month."
How difficult it is to find wild horses, Aled has a deep understanding, and he is a little skeptical about the month that Xiao Yang said, "You didn't get me the kind of wild horses that Lao Mei ordered some time ago, right?" ”
What he is talking about is that a few years ago, in order to solve the problems of high maintenance costs and low attendance rate of "Apaches" on the battlefield in Iraq, the US military purchased piston fighters to deal with the guerrillas.
This kind of wild horse has been improved in many ways, and its combat performance is much stronger than that of the wild horse of the year, but this is not what Aled wants.
Of course, Xiao Yang wouldn't make this kind of goods to fool him, "How is it possible?" Am I that kind of person? Don't worry, say a month will give you news. ”
…………
The bidding thing was made directly by Zhao Qingfeng and them, Xiao Yang didn't have to work hard to get the budget, he immediately called Zhao Qingfeng.
For him to make some unexpected things from time to time, Zhao Qingfeng was almost numb.
However, he still couldn't help but ask, "How can you get hold of such a secret thing?" ”
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Xiao Yang laughed and talked nonsense, and without waiting for Zhao Qingfeng to get mad, he said: "You think it's easy for me, I have been an escort for several days to get such a guy." Then he told him about Alaed.
Zhao Qingfeng sighed, a weak teenager who left China to mix mercenaries in Africa, and then got acquainted with such a wide range of interpersonal relationships, how much happened in the middle?
"I find that you have more connections than many heads of state." He sighed.
In the past ten years of life in Africa, how many things have been encountered and how many people have been known, Xiao Yang can no longer remember clearly, and he has a wide range of contacts? He doesn't think it's a big deal, for him, every time he gets to know someone, it means that there is an allusion in it, whether it is sad or happy, who knows?
"It's okay." He chuckled.
