Chapter 42 No. 25, Xiushui North Street

On January 1 this year, China and the United States established diplomatic relations!

This is definitely a historic moment between China and the United States and a major event that affects the world.

With the improvement of this relationship, Liu Tao's weapons and equipment export plan can be realized without interference and obstruction from all parties.

Otherwise, if the ship transporting weapons and equipment is intercepted and inspected, nothing will be done!

In addition, the current world situation is not peaceful, and various conflicts are breaking out at any time.

As long as the weapons and equipment are cost-effective enough, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

European, American and Soviet weapons are indeed advanced and well-known, but the problem is that their weapons are not cheap and often come with a lot of political conditions.

Liu Tao is different. Even if the price of weapons of the same style and performance is only half of theirs, he can still make money. Moreover, this is pure trade without any strings attached.

This is its advantage, super cost-effective, no conditions!

Just need money!

Gold and other precious and rare metals, or foreign exchange are all acceptable!

After leaving the Fifth Machinery Department, Liu Tao had a lot of thoughts.

"The only thing left now is to get the order!" Liu Tao's eyes were full of determination, "As long as you get the order, you can make money!"

The most difficult thing in the world is to start something from scratch. As long as you take the first step and have the first order, the second order and the third order are not far away.

"Next, let's start taking action. The first target is the big dog—Iraq!" Liu Tao's goal is very clear.

The first target is naturally the extremely rich dog tycoon ‘Iraq’!

At this time, because of its abundant oil, Iraq relied on oil exports every year, making it a veritable powerhouse.

All I can say is that oil is really a good thing.

These big oil companies don't need to struggle, they can just lie down and count their money.

No. 25, Xiushui North Street, this is the Iraqi Embassy in China.

Liu Tao looked at the guard at the door and stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am Liu Tao, the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. I am here to visit my friend, Al."

The guard looked at Liu Tao in surprise.

Al is the person in charge here.

Although the guard didn't understand what was going on, he still went in to report it.

In the office, Al is drinking coffee leisurely. He has been in China for three years, and since he doesn't have much to do, his work is quite leisurely.

"Sir, a friend who calls himself yours is here to visit you." The staff came in and reported to Al.

"Panshan Machinery Factory? My friend?"

Al frowned. He didn't have any friends in China. Even if he had friends, they were from China's foreign affairs department, not a factory.

After thinking for a few seconds, with interest in his eyes, he nodded and said to the staff: "Invite him over!"

Not long after, Al met this Chinese man who claimed to be his friend.

"Young man, I don't remember that we know each other." Al looked at Liu Tao with interest.

Liu Tao was very young. When he saw Liu Tao, Al even thought in his heart that this was a prank.

Liu Tao said in English: "Hello, Mr. Al, I hope you don't mind if I take the liberty of visiting you unexpectedly! This time I am visiting you to do business with your country."

With that said, Liu Tao stretched out his hand.

"Hello!" Al held Liu Tao's extended hand and said with interest, "Business? I don't know what kind of business it is?"

"Weapons business!" Liu Tao said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. Panshan Machinery Factory is a large military factory with an annual output of 120,000 pistols, 500,000 automatic rifles, and With 10,000 machine guns, we can produce hundreds of millions of bullets of various types every year.”

Liu Tao slightly exaggerated the production capacity of Panshan Machinery Factory.

Al's heart was shaken inexplicably.

This production scale is far less than that of all the military production capacity in Iraq combined.

Thanks to the world's first oil crisis that broke out a few years ago, oil prices soared in the international market. A number of oil-producing countries along the Persian Gulf quickly became rich. Iraq also made a lot of money. In just a few years, its gross national product increased. It doubled several times and became a wealthy country in the world.

But Iraq is not an industrial country. There is no industry at all, let alone military industry.

Iraq's weapons depend on buying, buying, buying!

So much so that Saddam proudly promoted that their oil wealth could support the army of the world's third most powerful military power.

In fact, judging from the paper data, this is indeed the case. Saddam used oil revenue to build a million-strong army, with nearly 6,000 tanks, 7,500 armored vehicles, more than 3,700 artillery pieces, and more than 700 fighter jets. This strength It can rank fourth in the world.

After the "Roar of the Red Dragon", the monkey was blasted, and Iraq suddenly became the third most powerful military power in the world.

Moreover, at this time, Iraq's foreign exchange reserves were nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars, and its per capita income had reached 3,900 U.S. dollars, far exceeding Saudi Arabia. So much so that Iraq had established complete social welfare and achieved 4 free services: free medical care, free pension, and free education and free housing.

In comparison, China is as poor as ghosts.

But when it comes to military industry, Iraq is far behind China.

"Your Chinese weapons are very backward. If we want to buy them, we have to buy them from the Soviet Union or Europe and the United States. Soviet-made weapons and American-made weapons are much more advanced than yours." Al shook his head slightly.

Now, whatever weapons and equipment Iraq wants, it can be bought by the whole world with money.

Except for some particularly advanced or powerful weapons that you can’t buy, what kind of weapons can’t be bought! ?

The impression China gave Al was that of poverty and backwardness.

Liu Tao smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Al, the performance of the weapons produced by our factory has reached the world's advanced level. This has been tested on the battlefield."

"And we are simply doing business without any conditions attached." Liu Tao said confidently, "If you don't believe it, Mr. Al, we can experience the performance of the weapon on the spot."

Iraq is now a rich country, so Liu Tao will naturally not recommend backward weapons, but directly use weapons developed by himself.

He believed that if Al gave it a try, he would definitely like it.

"My weapons are already in the capital. You can give them a try at any time. Mr. Al, you have time anyway. Give it a try. It doesn't cost any money and you won't be deceived." Liu Tao turned into an excellent salesman at this moment.

Al showed emotion at this time.

Although China’s ‘Red Dragon’s Roar’ was short-lived, only taking a month, it attracted the attention of all parties.

After all, it was the United States that had just become disgraced and faced the world's third-largest military power with perfect statistics, only to be bombarded by the poor and backward Rabbit.

Military experts from various countries are conducting various analyses. No matter how they analyze, they all find that the monkey is victorious no matter what, but the monkey is defeated.

Al felt that if there was a weapon that really performed well on the battlefield, it would be worth taking a look at, and maybe he could actually buy it.

Anyway, whoever you buy is not a buyer. If there are really no conditions attached, that would be even better.
