Chapter 543 Just Selling
Lin Liqun saw Yin Zhaotang wearing the Zhi Gong Hui badge on his chest, and his eyes flashed with joy. Everyone knew that Yin Zhaotang had joined the Zhi Gong Hui and served as a member, but in business situations, wearing the badge or not was a different attitude.

What is even more surprising is that Xu Gang, who served as the personal bodyguard, had a flat haircut and wore a red badge.

Even He Guangbiao, the manager of the precision machinery business department, secretly regretted when he saw the red badge: Why did I forget to wear it?

Cheng Shuangfu had a slicked-back hair, a bag under his arm, and was wearing a gray suit. He introduced with a smile, "Mr. Yin, this is Lin Liqun, the business manager of Northern Industries, and the deputy leader of this business team."

"This is He Guangbiao, the business manager of the precision machinery company, and the deputy leader of the business team. Yang Zheng, the leader of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Bureau of Special Relief, and Liu Feng, an expert from the Academy of Aerospace Sciences."

When Yin Zhaotang heard that the Bureau of Welfare and Welfare had sent people, researchers there felt the importance attached to him by the mainland and felt satisfied. He shook hands with several business group leaders.

After the first meeting and some greetings, everyone drove to the newly opened Nanhai Hotel. Although they were talking about high-end weapons and large orders, they could not see the goods without paying.

It is even more impossible to invite him to visit the factory, and we can only negotiate based on the performance, parameters and photos on paper.

However, with Lin Liqun's mediation, the negotiations went smoothly. In just two hours, the two sides reached an agreement on the purchase of Hongqi-7 and Hongying-5.

The price of a Hongying 5 launcher is 7 US dollars, and each shell is US dollars. The price of a Hongqi launcher is US dollars, and each missile is US dollars.

Iran's purchase price for a launch vehicle of the French Sidewinder missile of the same level is US$370,000, and the purchase price of a missile is as high as US$30,000.

The price difference was as high as three times, so Yin Zhaotang had a lot of room for profit. However, the agreement stipulated that weapons could only be sold to a specific target group, and that the training personnel's food and accommodation had to be provided.

All I can say is that Precision Machinery has just been established and has not yet received any big orders.

I don't know that in the international market, training costs extra money. This squeezed out some profits for Yin Zhaotang, but the short-range air defense missiles were not enough to meet customer needs.

"Mr. He, I want to purchase another medium- and long-range air defense weapon."

He Guangbiao made a mistake and asked: "The Zhongyuancheng air defense weapons manufactured domestically are all products of the previous generation. Will buyers want them?"

The Soviet air defense is a three-stage strategy of "far, medium and short", the American air defense is "grouping + guidance", and the Chinese style is to copy everything.

In the early days, domestic air defense weapons were imitated from the Soviet Union, with long-range, medium-range and short-range deployed separately and intercepted at each checkpoint.

The advantage is the high interception rate, but the disadvantage is inflexibility. Now it has also kept up with the pace of American air defense, developing dense array weapons at short range and researching sophisticated guidance at long range.

Therefore, in the strategic change, the new generation of Hongqi-4 medium and long-range air defense weapons was discontinued.
Yin Zhaotang didn't believe that there was no product in China, and said with a smile: "Mr. He, is it too advanced to be sold?"

He Guangbiao smiled and said, "Yes, it is too advanced to be sold. However, if Mr. Yin really wants it, I can report it to the higher-ups."

"Try to free up some inventory, but you have to pay a deposit first."

The Hongqi-7 is also a new product that has not been put into service, but that does not prevent it from being sold. If the buyer likes the Hongqi-4, the production line can be restarted. The one that is really too advanced is actually the Hongqi-9 that is under development.

Yin Zhaotang smoked a cigarette and frowned: "If it is really that advanced, it won't leak secrets, right?"

He Guangbiao smiled: "Export weapons are all imitations. Domestic products are mainly cheap and large in quantity, but long-range weapons are generally more expensive."

Yin Zhaotang nodded: "How much?"

He Guangbiao opened his palm and raised five fingers: "This number."

"Five million dollars?"

Yin Zhaotang was surprised. It was fifty times more expensive than the HQ-7. However, the short-range one was called an air defense weapon, while the long-range one was theoretically called an air defense system.

It's not just a launch vehicle or a missile. Lin Liqun quickly nudged He Guangbiao with his elbow and said, "Mr. Yin misunderstood. It's RMB. A few hundred thousand US dollars is enough." He Guangbiao took a sip of water and agreed with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Yin misunderstood. Five hundred thousand US dollars per unit is the cost price."

Theoretically, it should be a clearance price, because the Hongqi-4s are almost going moldy after being piled up in the warehouse.

However, this does not mean that the Hongqi-4 is bad.

It’s just that the project team misjudged the development trend of future fighter jets and positioned the HQ-4 as a weapon to attack super-high-speed and super-fast fighter jets.

Unfortunately, the hypersonic war has never occurred, except for the MiG-35. The new generation of warfare in Europe and the United States has entered the "stealth" mode, and the Hongqi-4 has no place to use.

It is just regarded as a technical accumulation for the next generation Hongqi-9, and it has not even been put into service.

"Five hundred thousand." Yin Zhaotang pondered, and felt a little itchy: "Order one, the latest type of mine, and purchase one thousand."

Lin Liqun smiled and said, "There is no problem with the mines. The higher-ups have approved it."

After signing the order, Yang Zheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled and asked, "How many veterans do you plan to recruit, Mr. Yin?"

In the eyes of Lin Liqun and He Guangbiao, veterans are gifts. But in the eyes of Yang Zheng of the Welfare Bureau, finding employment for veterans is a job.

An excessive population will overwhelm a country, and an excessive number of soldiers may also overwhelm the army. The Bureau of Veterans Affairs is under the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is the predecessor of the Veterans Affairs Department. Today, he also came to bargain.

Yin Zhaotang looked at Yang Zheng, who had a stern face and sat through the entire meeting, and said hesitantly, "It is tentatively decided that there will be 50 people, including food and lodging, overseas allowances, and a starting salary of 5,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"Fifty?" Yang Zheng looked serious. He stood up and handed over a cigarette, grinning and said, "How about sixty?"

Yin Zhaotang opened his eyes wide and said readily, "Okay, okay."

Yang Zheng heaved a long sigh, a heavy weight lifted off his chest, and sat back down. “Thank you, Mr. Yin, for helping me arrange jobs for ten more retired military officers. The Bureau of Welfare and Welfare will include Zhongyi Group in the list of military-supporting enterprises, and they will enjoy tax benefits.”

Yin Zhaotang was stunned. They actually sent cadres. All non-commissioned officers, no extra pay? Although the military rank system had not been officially restored in 85, positions, abilities, and experience would not disappear. Those who could be called "cadres" were at least non-commissioned officers, or perhaps lieutenants. The "old squad leaders" and "old platoon leaders" in the mouths of comrades.
As the authorities were unwilling to grant legal visas to mainland veterans to work in Hong Kong, Lao Zhong had not previously recruited mainland veterans.

They are rushing to send talents, which really broadens my horizons. But on second thought, he probably knew the pressure the military was facing, so he smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Director Yang, I will take good care of the comrades."

Yang Zheng nodded heavily: "Thank you!"

He would rather his comrades' salaries be cut a little, and he wants to put more people in. But this kind of thing can be done, but it cannot be said. If ten more people are put in, the salary will definitely be reduced.

After the meeting, back in the hotel lounge, He Guangbiao laughed and scolded, "Old Lin, you're just trying to make a fortune. You almost made a lot of money."

Lin Liqun glared at him and said, "Mr. Yin is one of us. You are a fool. Be careful that the boss will punish you!"

"Just kidding." He Guangbiao picked up the kettle and walked to the bathroom: "But I always feel that Yin Sheng is a little dull, not like a big boss."

"They buy everything, they want everything, they have a lot of foreign exchange, and they don't bargain!"

Lin Liqun was dissatisfied and said, "This is called magnanimity. You are rich, but you, a person from a small family, don't know shit."

Executive Suite.

Zuo Shou sat on the sofa and cracked open the glass bottle of Coke with his teeth, his expression slightly puzzled: "Boss, how come these people don't look like arms dealers at all? They can talk about anything and they are not overbearing!"

Yin Zhaotang had just finished calling Dapu Niu and turned back with a smile: "He just started selling, so he's still a little nervous. Cherish this time, because you won't see him again in the future."
