Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"Minister Wang, have you really worked in arms sales?"

Seeing An Xin's slightly suspicious look, Wang Jing gave a helpless smile and explained, "Really, but that was more than ten years ago. At that time, because the organization needed it, I was forced to take on the role of an arms sales manager!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about these old things. Let's get back to the Red Shield military purchase. It doesn't matter if you don't need tanks, but you must need other weapons, right? To be honest, as long as the money is in place, we can even discuss the HQ series of air defense missiles!"

"What the hell?!" An Xin was shocked. She looked at Wang Jing in astonishment and asked, "No, are you sure the HQ series air defense missiles can be sold?"

"Sure!" Wang Jing nodded with certainty, but suddenly thought of something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he corrected himself: "Of course, it can be sold, but there are still some restrictions, such as the domestic version cannot be sold, only the foreign trade version can be sold."

"And we can't sell it directly to Red Shield. We need to find a third country to conduct the transaction!"

An Xin suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this!

I was wondering, how could the country suddenly relax relevant restrictions for no reason? Turns out it’s a monkey version!

But Anxin thinks the monkey version is also good. After all, looking at the entire PMC industry, there are really not many companies that dare to publicly declare that they own this thing. After counting, it is likely that only the two giants, MPRI and Halliburton, dare to do this!

MPRI, a military resource consulting company, is a real giant in the PMC industry. The company is full of generals and is very powerful. It is known as the second headquarters of the United States!

MPRI's business model is very special. They only accept large-scale commissioned contracts with a starting price of tens of millions of dollars, and they almost never carry out combat missions themselves. They are only responsible for formulating combat plans and providing intelligence support, and then directly outsource the dirty work to top military contractors such as Deyang International and EO!

In fact, this is not the most amazing thing about MPRI. The most amazing thing about them is that they can mobilize active U.S. troops to help with private work anytime and anywhere...

Note that this can be done anytime and anywhere. To be honest, even the president of the United States cannot do this...

Compared with the specialness of MPRI, Halliburton is even more bizarre. They are nominally engaged in energy, but in fact, well, they are really engaged in energy, but their way of doing things is different!

Let’s put it this way, wherever the U.S. military goes, Halliburton follows closely behind. As soon as the U.S. military occupies the territory, Halliburton immediately pushes for the implementation of related energy projects.

In addition to energy, Halliburton also does some small businesses, such as US military logistics contracting, US military base maintenance contracting, and post-war reconstruction contracting.

Of course, there must be a reason why Halliburton can be called a giant in the PMC industry!

The reason is actually very simple. They monopolize the US military's battlefield contracts in the Middle East. To put it simply, they are qualified to decide which PMC company can follow the US military to perform battlefield missions in the Middle East.

The Red Shield's Level 3 security certification was obtained through the Halliburton channel.

By the way, PetroChina also won an oil field project in the Middle East through the Halliburton channel...

Well, coincidentally, some of China State Construction Engineering Corporation’s overseas reconstruction projects were won through Halliburton channels…

To put it bluntly, if the PMC industry is a food chain, then MPRI and Halliburton are at the top of the food chain. There are a lot of military contractors below the food chain, but these military contractors actually rely on these two giants for their livelihood.

After dispelling the random thoughts in her mind, An Xin looked at Wang Jing with interest and said, "The foreign trade version of the HQ series is also fine. Which model is it?"

Wang Jing looked at An Xin with a half-smile and said, "All models of the HQ series can be discussed, including the HQ-9, but I need to remind you that selling air defense missiles is actually equivalent to selling air defense systems, so the price may be a little higher!"

Leng Jun next to him instantly understood what Wang Jing was trying to do, and immediately winked at An Xin frantically.

Unfortunately, An Xin didn't notice it. He just waved his hand and said, "It's just money. No problem. Just give me a set of HQ-9. Name your price!"

Wang Jing smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and pinched a universe between his fingers, and said teasingly: "No problem, you only need to pay 25 billion US dollars, and HQ-9 will be yours!"

An Xin's mind suddenly exploded, and the smile on her face froze instantly. She stared at Wang Jing blankly, and asked with a slight stutter: "How much...how much? 25 billion US dollars?"

Seeing An Xin in a dazed state, Wang Jing felt very happy. Little guy, I let you show off in front of me every day. Finally, I scared you, right? Then he nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, a standard HQ-9 is equipped with 8 launch vehicles, with 32 spare missiles and 32 backup missiles. The range of the interceptor missile can reach 260 kilometers, and the combat response time is only 12-15 seconds. The coverage area of ​​the missile can reach 5 kilometers. It is a very standard third-generation air defense missile!"

"To be honest, I'm only giving you $25 billion because you're one of my friends. If it were someone else, I'd give you $30 billion without any bargaining!"

An Xin gradually came back to her senses at this time. After hearing Wang Jing's shameless explanation, she rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Brother, you might as well just open $30 billion. At least this way I'll look a little richer!"

"Hahaha…"

After hearing his complaints, Wang Jing and Leng Jun couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Wang Jing restrained his expression a little, thought for a moment, and suggested: "Red Shield does not really need a weapon as powerful as the HQ-9, but for the safety of the base, it is still necessary to purchase some anti-aircraft missiles!"

An Xin certainly understood this truth. You have to know that Africa is France's traditional territory. If they want to snatch food from other people's bowls, it will be a life-and-death struggle, and they must be fully prepared!

To be honest, I just don't have that much money now. If I had that much money, hq-9 is not out of the question!

Anyway, no matter how much money you spend now, you will eventually earn it back hundreds or thousands of times from other places!

"Leng Jun, for air defense missiles, which model should we buy?"
