#253 - Chapter 253: Trading with the rich dog owner!

"Monitor the area and stand by," Lin Chen ordered.

"Yes, Master, I will monitor the area and stand by," the text displayed again on the smart glasses.

Lin Chen took out his phone and dialed Liu Feng's number: "Liu Feng, the sniper has been taken down by my drone, but you need to watch out for possible accomplices."

A look of surprise appeared in Liu Feng's eyes.

"Okay."

The people from the National Security Agency were very familiar with the terrain here, and they arrived at the sniper's rooftop faster than Haile's bodyguards.

They saw the sniper lying unconscious on the ground.

There were two wrecked drones on the rooftop, and another drone was hovering above their heads.

Soon, some of Haile's bodyguards also arrived.

Haile also received a call from his bodyguard.

"Master Lin, you actually took care of the sniper so easily. Your drones are amazing. Can I buy some?"

Haile asked.

Lin Chen shook his head: "Prince Haile, those drones of mine are not for sale. They are not purely for civilian use, and I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for me to sell them to you."

Haile held up a finger and said, "Master Lin, please consider it. I'll offer ten thousand US dollars per drone."

"I want at least ten thousand drones."

"If the performance is good, there will be follow-up orders."

Lin Chen: "…"

What a rich guy.

Not counting the control system, the cost of these drones is only two thousand yuan. Haile is buying them for ten thousand US dollars each, a thirty to forty times profit, it's hard not to be tempted.

Traditional manufacturing, a 5% profit margin each year is considered good, and some might even lose money in a year.

With his drones, just ten thousand units, the Xu Group's drone factory could produce them in three or four days.

A profit of 700 million RMB in three or four days!

Isn't this faster than robbing a bank?

"Prince Haile, I need to ask," Lin Chen said.

The three returned to the private chef's room. The sniper might have accomplices, so it was safer to stay here for now.

"I'll make a call," Lin Chen said and went upstairs to call Tian Lang.

Soon, Tian Lang's voice came through: "Mr. Lin, the sniper's target was not you, but Prince Haile."

"They probably wanted Haile to die in China, so they could sow discord between China and the Camel Kingdom."

"The drones you make have good performance. I want to buy some to equip the comrades protecting you and your family. By the way, why was the sniper unconscious?"

Lin Chen: "He was injected with a strong anesthetic. He should wake up in about half an hour, and he should fully recover in about forty minutes."

"You're protecting me and my family, why would you need to buy drones? I'll provide you with a hundred drones."

Tian Lang said: "Include the strong anesthetic as well? Carrying bombs on drones in the city has a big impact. Your use of the strong anesthetic is very good."

"No problem."

"Tian Lang, can I export these?" Lin Chen asked, "The ones without the anesthetic."

Tian Lang paused: "Export?"

"The rich guy wants to buy them?"

Lin Chen: "Prince Haile is offering ten thousand US dollars per drone. He wants at least ten thousand, and the cost is only two thousand yuan."

"Hiss!"

Tian Lang took a deep breath.

That's an astonishing profit.

He considered for a moment and said: "Mr. Lin, as long as our country's drone companies have legal production and sales qualifications, it should be possible to sell them with a report."

"Will the technology be leaked?" Lin Chen said: "The parts are all purchased on the market. The most important thing about my drone is its control system."

"The control system will be encrypted and difficult to crack."

Tian Lang laughed: "Knowing you, since you're considering selling it, this shouldn't be the most advanced one. You'll be able to make even better drones in the future, right?"

"Probably."

Lin Chen said.

His aircraft manufacturing technology is only at the grandmaster level. But his advantage lies in his comprehensive knowledge, otherwise, his drones wouldn't be much to look at.

"Mr. Lin, don't forget the country when you have good things."

Tian Lang reminded.

Lin Chen: "Don't worry, I won't forget. This one isn't good enough yet. It's very good for civilian use, but for military use… with my current technology, it might be a bit embarrassing to show it off."

"I'll study it some more."

Tian Lang: "Mr. Lin, the rich guy's money, you might as well earn it. But I suggest you don't place the order with Xu Mengyao's company at that price, there's no need."

"About half of Xu Group's shares belong to others."

Lin Chen smiled: "I know."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen went downstairs: "Prince Haile, I just asked, these drones can be sold to you."

"You can use Arabic to control them later."

"Let me tell you in detail about its performance—"

After listening to Lin Chen's introduction, Prince Haile's eyes lit up.

The performance of this drone was better than he had estimated. Its battery life was very good, its anti-interference ability was good, and especially the swarm system had very strong capabilities.

Finally, Lin Chen warned: "Prince Haile, this is a civilian product. Although you can put things inside and hang things outside, I don't recommend private modification."

"We are not responsible if there are problems with private modification."

Prince Haile smiled and said: "I understand, I'm buying civilian products. I'll do a drone light show when the time comes."

Lin Chen nodded: "That's good."

"Prince Haile, there's one more small problem, after these are sold to you, they will not be able to fly within China."

He couldn't sell them and then have them come back to attack China.

"No problem."

"Master Lin, this drone has very good performance. The first batch of ten thousand is a bit small. I'll buy thirty thousand."

Prince Haile said.

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, oh right. According to the rules of us Chinese, there is a discount for buying more. If you buy 50,000, I can give you a 20% discount."

"Then give me fifty thousand!"

Prince Haile said quickly.

The last 20,000 were equal to only spending 100 million US dollars.

It was very cost-effective for him.

It was even better for Lin Chen. Two more ten thousand meant only forty million more in costs, but he could earn seven hundred million more. After deducting costs and taxes, he could earn several hundred million more.

"No problem."

Lin Chen nodded.

Prince Haile said: "Master Lin, with your reputation, I can pay you the full amount now. Can you deliver the goods in half a year?"

Lin Chen wondered: "Half a year?"

Ten thousand could be made in three or four days. If he hurried, the fifty thousand drones could all be produced in half a month.

Prince Haile might have some misunderstanding about China's industrial capacity.

"Prince Haile, it should be possible in a month. Including the transportation time, it shouldn't take more than two months," Lin Chen said.

A look of joy appeared in Haile's eyes: "So fast? Sea freight is too slow. I'll arrange for transport planes to ship them back when the time comes."

"Master Lin, happy cooperation."

Lin Chen shook hands with Haile and said: "Happy cooperation."

Both sides were very happy.

Both felt that they had gotten a good deal.
