    Zhong Yi nodded and said: "Yes, now we should talk about the price."

    Speaking of this, Zhong Yi changed his tone and continued: "After all, the U.S. arms market is now in an unprecedented off-season. All arms companies, including your Winchester Arms Company, can only accept  With sporadic arms orders, let alone making money, it is very difficult to even maintain operations."

    "Uh" Little Winchester was a little dumbfounded. This style of painting was not quite right.

    Zhong Yi added: "In such a super off-season, every small arms order is precious, right?"

    "Uh, brother, listen to me" Little Winchester felt that he couldn't let Zhong Yi continue talking, otherwise the situation would be completely out of control.

    Zhong Yi waved his hand and continued: "So, I brought such a large order to your Winchester Arms Company in this off-season. In return, your Winchester Arms Company must also show enough  Sincerity, right? So for this price, you will definitely give enough discounts, right?"

    "No, no, no, that's not what you said." Little Winchester said, "It is precisely because it is the off-season for arms, and it is precisely because it is very difficult for major arms companies to survive, so they need profits even more. My brother, you  You don¡¯t want to see our Winchester Arms Company go bankrupt, right? What¡¯s more important is that the prices of raw materials have increased!¡±

    At this time, little Winchester just wanted to say that it was a waste of time. He was originally prepared to mention the price increase, but before he could open his mouth, Zhong Yi came to lower the price, and what he said was very reasonable.  look.

    Zhong Yi didn¡¯t want to say anything more to Little Winches, because he was really busy. McConaughey had already arranged more than fifty book fan meetings for him, traveling almost all over the East Coast.

    Besides the book fan club, Zhong Yi has more important things to do.

    One of them is to assist Wang Chonghui in negotiating aid with the US government. In addition, he also has a more important thing to do, which is to go to General Motors to discuss a business deal.

    So, Zhong Yi really has no time to waste here.

    At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "Brother, we don't have to waste time talking about the price. Let me tell you straight. I have calculated it repeatedly before meeting you. Based on the prices and workers' wages in the United States, an artist  The production cost of a complete set of weapons and equipment is approximately US$400,000."

    "No, no, no, how can an artist's equipment only cost 400,000 US dollars."

    "I'm talking about the simplified version of the artist I told you about before. Do you have any questions?"

    "Little Winchester immediately fell silent. As an arms manufacturer, how could he not know the production cost of a complete set of equipment for an artist?"

    In fact, Little Winchester has repeatedly calculated that the exact production cost of a complete set of equipment customized by Zhong Yi for an artist is US$397,110. Since prices in the United States are relatively stable, the price is up to US$397,100.  There will never be more than one percent floating space.

    Thinking of this, little Winchester could only shrug in admiration.

    When you meet such an opponent, what else can you say?

    Zhong Yi added: "So, based on the previous price of an art technician of US$550,000, each division of your Winchester Arms Company can earn a huge profit of US$150,000."

    "Actually, it's not that much." Little Winchester quickly explained, "There's also the shipping fee."

    "The shipping fee is only a few dollars." Zhong Yi shook his head and continued, "So this time, I can only give you a profit margin of 50,000 US dollars. If it can be done, we can sign the contract now. If not, then I will only  I can go to other companies, such as Curtis, and I just have another business to discuss with them."

    Little Winchester calculated silently in his mind, one division was 50,000, and twenty divisions would be 1 million. Although the profit margin was reduced, the total profit was not reduced, and it was acceptable.

    But what Little Winchester is more curious about is the other big business Zhong Yi mentioned. What business?

    At that moment, little Winchester shook his head and said: "Okay, okay, I can't convince you, then it's 50,000."

    After a pause, Little Winchester said again: "But, Zhong, what is the other business you are talking about?"

    "Buy an airplane." Zhong Yi didn't hide anything and said directly, "I want to buy a batch of P-40 fighter jets from Curtiss Company to form an air force belonging to the Tenth Army."

    "Oh my god." Little Winchester was dumbfounded, "You want to form your own air force?"

    "Yes." Zhong Yi didn't hide anything and said:??, "The National Government's Air Force is in shambles. You must know the reasons why. So if I just buy planes and go back, the result will be just as bad. Instead of that, I might as well form my own Air Force. Correct  usage of."

    Little Winchester has also heard about the government¡¯s air force.

    Regarding the government¡¯s Air Force, the most important problem is corruption, and the root of the problem is the de facto top leader of the Air Force, Mrs. Chang.

    Mrs. Chang¡¯s favorite thing to do is to take the money and buy old airplanes from the West at the price of new airplanes. As for where the difference in price went, it goes without saying. It certainly went into her private pocket.

    But even if it is an old aircraft, it still has a certain combat effectiveness.

    This brings us to another problem with Mrs. Chang¡¯s use of the air force, which is blindly passive defense.

    To put it bluntly, except for two large-scale proactive sorties at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War and during the Battle of Wuhan, the Kuomintang Air Force has never taken the initiative. It seems that the only role of the Kuomintang Air Force is to protect the capital.  Chongqing and various administrative agencies of the national government.

    This is what Zhong Yi cannot tolerate the most. The air force must take the initiative to be effective!  Just stay at home and wait for the Japanese bombers to bomb?  How stupid would you have to be to do that?

    So Zhong Yi decided to buy fighter jets and form an air force, and he had to command it!

    It¡¯s not easy to accomplish this, but it depends on people. If you haven¡¯t tried it, how do you know if it will work?  Anyway, Zhong Yi decided to try it first. What if he really succeeded?

    Little Winchester nodded, and then asked: "What plane do you plan to buy, and how many?"

    "Bombers are too expensive and not very useful to us, so I decided to buy fighter jets." Zhong Yi said, "The specific number of bombers to buy depends on my financial resources. One hundred is not too few, and one is not too few."  I wouldn¡¯t think of a thousand as too many.¡±

    "A thousand fighter jets? Oh my God." Little Winchester said, crossing himself. "Are there any pilots?"

    "There is an aviation school in Kunming, and there are still hundreds of pilots." Zhong Yi knew that Chennault was running an aviation school in Kunming at this time, and had trained at least two hundred pilots. It was precisely because of this group of pilots that we were able to  Chennault Air Force, the Flying Tigers that made great achievements in the counterattack of Yunnan and Burma.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
