Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: Chapter 234: This Military Weapons Dealer is Too Capable! (Subscribe Please) (2/2)
Lin Chuan slightly turned his head, his eyes meeting Leo’s.
Soon, Lin Chuan guessed what Leo was concerned about.
Then, he smiled and said, “This ‘PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ comes in three versions, 70 kilometers, 370 kilometers, and 600 kilometers. The 600-kilometer version is currently not for sale. Which version would you like to purchase?”
“370 kilometers.”
Leo did not doubt it.
This range was already leading the world, even 20 kilometers further than Yu Qin’s version with a range of 350 kilometers.
Of course.
Not only did it lead in range, but its power couldn’t be inferior either.
Lin Chuan didn’t know about Leo and Yu Qin’s negotiation, and after thinking, he quoted, “6 million US Dollars.”
This quote was a probing one.
Generally speaking, a probing quote in negotiations shouldn’t be too low, otherwise, there would be little room for bargaining.
The other party might press the price so low that it goes below one’s anticipated price.
Such negotiations could easily end in dissatisfaction.
The reason Lin Chuan set this price was based on the market price, using HIMARS M142’s price of 5 million US Dollars as a benchmark, and increased it by 1 million US Dollars, which was quite fair in market terms.
However, there was a fundamental difference between them.
As everyone knows.
The development of cutting-edge weapons requires a significant amount of financial investment, and a considerable part of their market price is attributed to research and development costs.
Buyers must pay for the technology.
A significant portion of the HIMARS M142’s price consisted of R&D costs.
The ‘PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ Lin Chuan offered did not have R&D investments.
Thus, its price could be much lower!
Lin Chuan could even manage to dump the ‘PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ for 1 million US Dollars and still have a substantial profit margin!
This was a tremendous advantage other arms suppliers did not have!
After all, there’s a catch!
But the price of 6 million US Dollars fell into Leo’s ears, stirring a big wave.
It was even lower than his estimated price!
He glanced at Lin Chuan, trying hard to control the disbelief in his heart, then immediately turned to look at his adjutant next to him.
The adjutant’s breath quickened, his eyes widened.
Last night, they had already held a video conference with the heads of Haas Armed Forces.
If Lin Chuan genuinely had a rocket launcher comparable to Yu Qin’s, their ideal price was 7 million US Dollars.
But with Lin Chuan starting at 6 million US Dollars, this threw them off.
Leo secretly took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, picked up the orange juice from the small coffee table in front of him, took a sip, and then said, “Mr. Lin, how powerful is this ‘PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’?”
“Just like the one described in the novel!”
Lin Chuan confidently stated.
“6 million US Dollars…”
Leo drank another sip of orange juice. If it indeed had such power, it would be more cost-effective than Yu Qin’s rocket launcher!
He hesitated, feeling slightly tempted.
He even thought Lin Chuan’s quote of 6 million US Dollars was the final price.
“Mr. Leo, what do you think of this price?”
Lin Chuan noticed Leo’s hesitation, assuming it was because Haas Armed Forces, constantly embroiled in warfare, did not have enough funds available to purchase weapons.
“Is there room for negotiation on the 6 million US Dollars?”
Leo asked tentatively, his expression stern.
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, “How many units of the ‘PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ would you like to buy?”
“Three.”
Leo stretched out three fingers.
Lin Chuan stroked his chin, then ‘bit the bullet’, “If you purchase four units, I will sell them to you at this unit price.”
Leo looked up.
Lin Chuan stretched out a palm.
“Five hundred… five hundred thousand US Dollars?” Leo couldn’t help but exclaim, his brows furrowing deeply.
This was frighteningly low!
200,000 US Dollars below their ideal price!
The adjutant next to him breathed rapidly.
He believed that if it were him, he would have agreed to Lin Chuan’s offer of 500,000 US Dollars per unit right then!
“For a first-time cooperation, I’ll also include four corresponding rockets, as well as training and service fees.” Lin Chuan laid out an offer they couldn’t refuse!
Leo was greatly shaken.
He had never encountered such a powerful arms dealer who could achieve a technical upgrade, far surpassing the HIMARS Rocket Launcher, but without raising the price!
For the same price, they could purchase the ‘PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher.’
This arms dealer was too capable!
“How about it?”
Lin Chuan asked with a beaming smile.
“At this price, we’ll take five units!”
Leo suddenly stood up, startling everyone around.
He couldn’t sit still!
