v2 Chapter 837： big ticket

American retired military vehicles, whether in the Middle East or in mainland China, must have a certain sales volume. The gap between the rich and the poor in the Middle East is very obvious, and the economy of China has not yet fully developed.

The Americans want the Black Cloud Group to be a second-order dealer, and let themselves come here to find a market for retired military vehicles. At this time, Bao Zixuan finally understood the reason why the U.S. Department of Defense had to let him come here. It was not to let Heiyun Automobile receive the order, but to let it solve the problem of retired military vehicles.

This isn't necessarily a good thing, but it's not going to be bad either. Even American retired military equipment is still the most advanced in many countries. This is the strength gap, although I don't want to admit it, but it is the truth.

The richest man Bao is weighing the pros and cons, and the Americans must want him to buy all the retired equipment. It's a lot of money, and it can't be done without billions of dollars. It is estimated that this is the price in the hearts of Americans. At this time, the funds on the account of Heiyun Automobile are not enough to win such a large project, but they can find some other countries.

Whether it is the Chinese mainland, or the Arab countries in the Middle East; even Brazil, will be interested in the retired military vehicles of the United States. The premise is that the price should not be too expensive, otherwise it would be more cost-effective for people to buy a new car.

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun Motors has four major manufacturing bases in the world. I still hope to sell new cars. The quality, quality, and degree of damage of second-hand equipment are uneven, and there will be endless troubles if you buy them back."

"And so many second-hand cars are put on the market, which will have a huge impact on the sales of new cars. It will seriously damage the interests of Heiyun auto dealers. I want to think for the long-term."

Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Ian Wright really didn't know how to refute. After all, from a business perspective, it still makes sense. But apart from this young man in front of him, there is really no company or individual in the world that can eat all the retired military vehicles.

The Ministry of Defense has also considered the military to directly sell it, but second-hand equipment needs to be repaired and replaced. The most important time is still very urgent, and the replacement of military vehicles will be completed in one year. No domestic car company can do it, so I chose Heiyun Auto and Bao Zixuan.

Most of the retired military vehicles are produced by the Jeep brand, and Heiyun Automobile has a natural advantage in this regard. There may be ready-made technical drawings in the database, and it is very convenient to produce accessories.

In addition, Bao Zixuan has good cooperative relations with many third world countries, and the sales of cars should not be a problem.

A direct sale by the U.S. military could be politically motivated, and there are none of these issues with Black Cloud. You will definitely need cash to sell goods, but countries that buy used equipment are not economically rich, making it difficult to pay.

Many countries may exchange resources or land use rights; the US military does not dare to go to sovereign countries to buy land, which will inevitably lead to misunderstandings. Sovereign countries do not allow such things to happen, and there is no problem with the Black Cloud Group.

The above are all things that the Department of Defense needs to consider, and it is not that simple for the military to sell anything. After various considerations, the Ministry of National Defense decided to find Bao Zixuan. Although it will give out some benefits, it can be regarded as a once-and-for-all solution.

Ian Wright: "Mr. Bao's words are not unreasonable, but this is also an opportunity. Even if it is an American retired military vehicle, the performance and quality will definitely be guaranteed. Most of the retired military vehicles are produced by Jeep, and Heiyun Motors. Have complete technical documentation."

"You can produce whatever accessories you need. I believe that these retired military vehicles will definitely be able to spread the second spring in the hands of Heiyun Automobile."

"Considering the after-sales service, plus many things, it is inconvenient for the US military to come forward. I only thought about Mr. Bao and the Black Cloud Group. This is also a mutually beneficial cooperation."

"I'm just a pawn. The specific matters need to be discussed with you by Minister Caspar Weinberg. It should not suffer from the friendship of the US military."

What does this mean, a threat in disguise. It seems that something in the American bones is difficult to change, even if you are super rich.

After a while, a waitress came over and said, "Hello, Mr. Bao! Minister Weinberg asked you to come over. I don't know if it's convenient."

As the biggest boss of this banquet, being able to invite is to give face. No one can directly refuse, Bao's richest man is not arrogant yet; he can ignore the active US Secretary of Defense, of course, his strength is not enough.

Caspar-Weinberg is very different from defense ministers in other countries, and it is difficult to understand without a military rank. This is also the tradition of the U.S. military. The Secretary of Defense plays a more coordinating role and does not have much involvement in specific operations.

Kasper Weinberg said with a smile: "I have heard of Mr. Xiaobao's name for a long time, but I have never been able to meet him. I finally met the real person today, which also satisfied my curiosity."

"I used to feel that I was young and strong, but after seeing you, I realized that I am really old."

This old boy is a lawyer, but his words are not leaking. Be extra careful with this old fox. Otherwise, it is likely to be detoured by the other party, and it will be very troublesome at that time.

Bao Zixuan: "His Excellency Minister of Defense is joking, you are in the golden age of doing business. I just got lucky, I succeeded in my first business, and nothing else."

Afterwards, the two complimented a few more words, and Kaspar Weinberg suddenly changed the subject and said: "I heard that Mr. Bao has a good relationship with Marshal Ustinov, the Soviet Minister of Defense, and the two even had a drink together. When I was in Poland, I directly drank Marshal Ustinov, who was known as the first Dionysus of the Soviet Union, to the ground. This matter has already become a legend."

What does this old boy mean, and why did he suddenly mention the Soviet Union.

Bao Zixuan: "The relationship is ok, everyone likes to drink. However, they usually have their own jobs. It is not a problem for a businessman to have too many contacts with the defense ministers and senior military generals of major countries. It will cause trouble for others, at most holidays. Say hello to each other and send a small gift."

This is talking to myself, trying to keep a distance from him, the US Secretary of Defense. It seems that this kid is much more mature than expected, and his mind has surpassed most of his peers.

Kasper Weinberg said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong, Mr. Xiaobao. In fact, I can talk very well with Marshal Ustinov. We haven't become friends, but the meanings of the two sides are different."

"The Black Cloud Group helped the Soviet Union deal with a lot of old equipment and has rich experience in this regard. The United States also encountered similar problems at this time, so I hope the Black Cloud Group can help the US military solve its problems."

Weinberg's meaning is obvious, to help the Soviet military, but reject the US Department of Defense. What does this mean, does it mean looking down on the United States, or something else.

Bao Zixuan is weighing the pros and cons and analyzing what Caspar Weinberg wants to convey. Refusal will definitely offend people to death, you must know that the US military is not easy to mess with. And they won't reason with you at all, people are used to being arrogant.

So how to ensure the maximization of benefits is the question that needs to be considered at this time. Buying second-hand military vehicles from the United States should not be a big problem to sell after refurbishment and maintenance. Many countries still like to be cheap. But to a certain extent, this will occupy the existing production line of Heiyun Automobile, making the already overloaded production line even more strained.

Not only that, buy used cars; new car sales are bound to be affected. At present, Heiyun Automobile is rapidly occupying the market, and taking over so many used cars is likely to lead to the failure of previous efforts. These are not good things for Heiyun Automobile.

In fact, the richest man in Bao also considered buying a retired American military vehicle. It is directly shipped to the two production bases in Shanghai and Jordan. After refurbishment, it can also be sold locally to maximize profits. However, it is a hassle to set up a new production line.

Bao Zixuan: "I don't know what the Minister wants Heiyun to do, or how many retired military vehicles to handle."

If you know you can't hide, it's better to be direct. In this way, it looks good on both sides, and you won't waste time on trivial matters.

This kid is very good, as long as Bao Zixuan is willing to come forward, things will be much easier. Only he has the strength to digest so many used cars.

Caspar-Weinberg: "This time the US military plans to retire 340,000 military vehicles, in addition to some special vehicles that involve secrecy; there are about 310,000 vehicles that need to be dealt with. The Department of Defense hopes that all All military vehicles are handed over to the Heiyun Group. It is convenient for everyone, and no one will compete with you. Heiyun has the pricing power, and it will be relatively easy to sell.”

This time the Ministry of National Defense has made a big move, so is it expanding it? Just play the big ticket and make enough money at one time. After seeing the profit, the US military will never look for it again from now on.
