Chapter 330: The Generous GIAT

The following morning, the two men visited the production lines and product showrooms of the small arms factory, and once again realized that the operating rate of the GIAT light weapons department was inadequate, which reinforced their thinking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The hole cards are enough, and there is no idea of wasting time, in the afternoon, Xiao Yang officially mentioned his intention to cooperate with Emilian on P41, of course, before that, they first confirmed the existence of the pistol replacement project on the French side.

Both sides had very strong intentions, so it was easier to negotiate, but despite this, it took you four days of back and forth to finally decide on the cooperation plan.

Funded by Colt and contributed by GIAT, a joint venture company with 50 percent stake in each party, each with no claim to be a controlling shareholder, was only responsible for the pistol replacement project with the French army, and if they won the bid, the P41 would be handed over to the GIAT small arms production factory to be manufactured, and if the bid failed, the company would be dissolved.

This is the basis of cooperation, Xiao Yang they pay half of the benefits, into the European market, and for GIAT, no cost, once the project is successful, not only will get half of the profit, but also get the order of the foundry, the profit of the OEM is not high, but can make the stopped production line move, this is the harvest.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

In the sound of clinking glasses, their faces were full of smiles, and the two parties accepted their respective contracts, representing the official start of the cooperation between the two parties.

"The estimated number of the project is 35-400,000 units, and the first batch of 100,000 units will be delivered, which will be completed in four years......" The contract was signed, and Emilian told Xiao Yang the detailed information from his personal relationship, "The army is now considering 5.56 mm caliber, but I have another piece of news, that is, if the first batch of responses is good, the police force will also consider changing the ......"

This is indeed good news, there are 140,000 police officers in France, and if each person has a gun, that is 140,000, although the police and guns are different from the military and guns, and the accessories are not so complete, but they have a long time limit for changing clothes, ten or twenty years, which can be a long-term business.

One of the most important is that once the French military and police are dressed as P41, how much influence will P41 have? France has a gun ban, but it is not a comprehensive gun ban like China, but a legal gun ban, not a complete ban on gun sales, in the past two years, France has suffered many attacks from IS, which has brought great fear to ordinary people, although guns can not be carried on their bodies at will, but this does not prevent guns from bringing people a sense of security.

Therefore, gun shops in many cities in France once had a good business, and when P41 officially entered France, how much revenue would this bring to the private market?

There are many countries in Europe that do not ban the sale of guns, and the impact will radiate, and how much will it benefit at that time?

In the next conversation, Xiao Yang revealed the news of the civilian version of P41, and hinted that when the time comes for GIAT to handle the import and export aspects, all the goods from Europe, at least France, will be handed over to them for OEM, and Emilian suddenly felt that pie fell from the sky.

People who are engaged in the military industry know that the civilian version is more expensive than the military version, and it is much more expensive, once Colt is interested in handing over the production of the European civilian market to them, their OEM profits will also increase relatively, and moreover, he attaches more importance to it, once the cooperation is pleasant, will Colt authorize them?

"Hopefully, we can carry out more in-depth cooperation."

"...... each other"

After the contract was signed, Xiao Yang expressed the idea of cooperating with GIAT as a Somali import and export company, and the GIAT headquarters quickly responded.

It was Emilian who led them on a tour of GIAT's artillery factory, tank factory, and so on in Le Bourget.

GIAT's main business now includes three parts, armored combat vehicles, artillery systems and support equipment, among which armored combat vehicles have quite good results in the Middle East market, and now in the Middle East several countries with the most imported weapons, Xiao Yang knows Aled and Abdullah, and has a certain advantage in interpersonal relationships, regardless of whether Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have the idea of importing combat vehicles now, but the right to sell is definitely not a loss in hand, and it may not be used for a period of time, but who knows in the future?

So, after the visit, he asked Emilian about the right to sell the weapons in particular.

GIAT has offices in the Middle East, but this does not prevent Xiao Yang from having the right to sell, and it is not unusual for private arms dealers in the same country to have a wider range of routes, and Emilian immediately said that he would immediately report the matter to the headquarters and try to promote cooperation between the two sides.

Xiao Yang is now emerging among private arms dealers, in the eyes of many arms companies, he belongs to the alternative among the alternatives, in Europe and the United States, private arms dealers are no longer a few, how have you ever seen a small fight for two years, and suddenly occupy half of the industry?

Although their import and export company is not listed, and its accounts do not need to be disclosed to the outside world, people with good intentions can always estimate the financial status of their company, and now many of the major arms dealers know how many businesses Xiao Yang has done in the past year or so.

These large companies have an annual turnover of tens of billions or tens of billions, but can they ignore an order of 100 million US dollars, or even billions of US dollars?

GIAT conducted a detailed investigation of the Somali Import and Export Company when Xiao Yang contacted them, and although some of the information was very vague, based on the information collected, they came to the conclusion that in the past year and a half, the Somali Import and Export Company's cash flow had reached at least $5 billion.

The Saudi bid is open; Turkish air defense system, which has long been known now; Congo...... Are there any other deals that have been made secretly?

Therefore, based on the previous conclusion, their professionals have come to such a further result: that is, the Somali Import and Export Company, in the last year, should have reached more than 10 billion US dollars.

According to last year's global market survey, the trade volume of the arms market last year was about 400 billion US dollars. After each family is distributed, how much can they get?

Even if it is calculated with 100 companies, with an average amount of 4 billion yuan each, Xiao Yang's company is officially included in the top 100, but there are only 100 arms companies in the world?

Apparently impossible.

Some people may say that companies like Xiao Yang and their profit margins are not high, but how much does this have to do with their producers? If they sell $5 billion of GIAT's products, how much will GIAT make even if they take a share of the profits?

Not to mention, the price of arms is not the same as ordinary goods, even if the market is sluggish, high-end weapons systems will not be affected at all, and how much profit will they contribute to GIAT at that time?

Per cent?

Not to mention five percent, even if it's one percent, that's something they can't ignore.

Emilian's news came up, and the headquarters responded in the shortest possible time: it agreed that the Somali Import and Export Company would sell all their products except for the embargoed list, and the scope was global.

Xiao Yang originally thought that he would be satisfied with getting the right to sell light weapons and armored vehicles in Africa and the Middle East, but he didn't expect GIAT to be so generous, which was really a bit of a surprise.

"It seems that the Saudis purchased their tanks last time?" In the room, Xiao Yang was talking to Aman about something when he suddenly received an informal reply from Emilian.

How could Aman not know what Xiao Yang thought? He smiled and said, "P41 didn't know where it was, why do you think we can get them to cooperate with us?" ”

Xiao Yang was a little helpless, Oman was really right, there was no P41 at that time, and the company didn't have so much performance, it was estimated that it was to pray to God and worship Buddha, and Giat didn't bother to pay attention to them, but soon he laughed again, "It's not too late now, their cannons are easy to sell, and today Emilian also revealed a message to me, India has contacted them, and they are interested in using their cannons, so I can contact them." ”

Aman smiled, not paying much attention.

GIAT's cannons are indeed somewhat famous, and helicopters and fighter jets from China, India and other countries have used their cannons, but now they want to get orders from Ah San, and it is estimated that Xiao Yang will just talk about it.

People are very angry, and they probably disdain to do business with private arms dealers, not to mention that they have nothing to do with India, and it is not their style to rush over to pull orders.

After staying for another two days and signing all the contracts, the two returned to Kutos.

At the moment, Kutos is definitely not calm, all kinds of companies, institutions and things have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, from the airport to the port, but only ten minutes away, the two of them saw a number of new storefronts and advertising signs.

"Hey, why did you get back?" went directly to the company, and Xiao Yang actually met Little Ivan.

A few days ago on the phone, I didn't hear that it was over, why are you back now?

"It's almost over." Little Ivan spread his hands, "The third child is finishing up with someone, and I'll come back first." ”

When Xiao Yang heard it, it was not right! Little Ivan usually laughs no matter how much he laughs, but he is definitely not the one who leaves his brother, motions for him to enter the office, and asks in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Little Ivan suddenly smiled bitterly, "Didn't you let the big dog check the attack that day?" It turned out yesterday, and people came for me. ”

“……”

Xiao Yang was dumbfounded, he had taken over a lot of similar security tasks, but he hadn't seen anyone who brought trouble to his employer, and after a long time, he said helplessly: "What did you do to hurt the heavens and reason?" Which prince's horse was pryed? ”
