Chapter 1167： 'Mustang' fighter
"shit, the world is crazy, and Indians who eat curry are almost the richest man in the world."
can make Yang Cheng make this wailing, naturally because India's Asan became the protagonist of today's auction and also kicked off the arms feast.
Just tens of seconds ago, after three rounds of bidding, an Indian “machinery trading company” won a batch of second-hand “Seahawk” orders at a unit price of US$80 million. This price caused an uproar in the audience. The guy has made a lot of money, and India's Asan is as stupid as ever.
Like the famous Black Hawk, the Sea Hawk helicopter is a very famous naval carrier-based helicopter, which is widely used by the US military in various ships and many military operations.
The Sea Hawk is the navy version of the Black Hawk. Based on the Black Hawk, the body has been improved for navigating, taking off and landing warships and combating high-corrosion environments. Generally speaking, it is not much different from the Army version of the Black Hawk and has excellent performance. Recognized globally, of course, the price is one-to-one.
Because it has advanced electronic equipment that can perform a variety of tasks, it has always been the main model introduced by the US allies. Judging from the fact that the US has sold Seahawks abroad for many times, the unit price is generally around 40 million US dollars, including supporting equipment , You know, a basic version of the Russian-made MiG-29 fighter is only more than 10 million US dollars.
And in this auction, I don’t know if India’s Asan’s blood was on the top or if he ate too much curry before he came, he actually doubled the deal. Isn’t that the case?
Hearing Yang Cheng’s amazement, David Ellison, a half-military fan, tilted his head and explained, “The Indians have introduced Seahawk helicopters for contact and negotiation since the year before, but the navy has not let go. Until recently, Indian public relations have achieved results.
But the result is that the Navy agreed to retire a batch of active-duty "Sea Eagles" and sell them to Indians as second-hand goods. Of course, the price must be increased appropriately.
The explanation given by the navy is that they will comprehensively upgrade the airborne equipment and update and improve it in response to India’s requirements. "
Yang Cheng still feels incredible, "80 million U.S. dollars, 18 planes, including the cost of upgrading, it is estimated that the final transaction price will reach 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, enough curry for Indians."
David Ellison smiled, Indian curry stems never go out of style.
Next, several small countries succeeded in bidding. In just half an hour, the turnover reached 3 billion U.S. dollars. As expected, it was still selling arms to make money.
"Your warship hasn't come out yet?" Yang Cheng was a little impatient. The auctions now appearing are all large-scale weapons, and apart from the state and military forces, private individuals can't participate.
David Ellison is also a little anxious. For people like them, the most annoying thing is wasting time. Even if he goes back to the house to communicate with his female partner, it is more meaningful than sitting here.
But the goal was not achieved, and he couldn't leave either, "It should be soon~ This kind of big toy is only attractive when it comes out in front."
As soon as the voice fell, the auctioneer on the stage, with a white glove in his hand, was pushed onto the stage with a one-meter-long model of a warship. Yang Cheng stood upright and slapped his lips. "This model is exquisite, it seems It's also a product of Bath Steel."
David Ellison became excited, "Well, this model can be exchanged for a McLaren. When I buy the warship, this model will be given to you."
Yang Cheng laughed, but did not refuse, "Come on~"
The bidding started soon. Unlike Yang Cheng's expectations, the starting price reached 15 million U.S. dollars. After just a few rounds of bidding, the price soared to 20 million.
Yang Cheng became nervous for good friends, "Those bidders have the same purpose as your family? Buy warships for fishing?"
David Ellison shook his head, "I know that there are two people who are active in Southeast Asia. They don't necessarily represent themselves."
paused, "But the price did exceed my expectations."
As soon as the voice fell, he raised the number plate and shouted, "22 million~"
At this time, Yui Aragaki pulled Yang Cheng's sleeves and asked curiously, "Can private individuals buy warships?"
Yang Cheng smiled and put his head in the ear of the goddess, "Of course, this is the United States, where capital is in power. Everything can be talked about with money, not to mention warships. There are even dirty bombs for sale in the black market. Blow up mushroom clouds."
Just as they were whispering, the price has risen to 24 million, and the bid is still Indian.
David Ellison began to become irritated, "Fuck, **** Indians, have they dug into a gold mine recently? The bid does not go through the brain?"
This time it’s Yang Cheng’s turn to remain calm. “Indians’ thirst for weapons and equipment is the world’s best. They have no strength but a heart for world hegemony. They take this Perry-class frigate back to make up for it. In ten years, the price is much cheaper than buying a warship that is intact."
David Ellison smashed his thigh angrily, cursing, "Damn~"
He knew how he couldn't fight financially more than A San, who held military expenses.
Yang Cheng tilted his head and looked at Dennis Mullenberg, who was not far from Ah San, and suddenly had an idea, "Hey, David, if you really want this warship, maybe I can do it."
"Really? Say it quickly, of course I really want it~" David Ellison believed in Yang Cheng's ability very much.
"You drag it first, I'll go to talk to Dennis~" Yang Cheng patted Ellison on the shoulder, got up and arched around to sit down beside Dennis.
Dennis was taken aback, and said in amazement, "Why did you run over now?"
Yang Cheng pointed backwards, "David is about to be mad by Asan~"
Dennis was taken aback, and then he understood what Yang Cheng meant. "It can only be said that David was too unlucky. According to the information I got, the Indians came to Vegas with a huge sum of US$3 billion this time, and they spent it at the beginning. Half, now there is still half left in the hands that have not been spent."
Yang Cheng smacked, "So many? Are they going to buy an aircraft carrier?"
Dennis smiled strangely, "That's not enough. Even the ship island of an aircraft carrier can't be bought for a few hundred million."
"Okay, I came to you for help. David is my good brother. Can you persuade the Indians to give up the bid?" Yang Orange said sternly.
Dennis still values Yang Cheng very much. Hearing Yang Cheng’s request, he did not dare to neglect, he held his chin and pondered for a while, “The Indians came to buy the EA18g Growler electronic fighter a few days ago, but we refused without hesitation. Now, what a joke, this is the most advanced electronic warplane in the United States. It hasn't been fully equipped in the country. How can it be sold to the outside world? Even if we think, the guys from the Department of Defense will not allow it."
Yang Cheng quietly listened to Dennis complaining, he knew the point had not come yet.
"Growlers don't have to think about it, but its predecessor, EA6, can think of a way. It just so happens that there are a few EA6s in Boeing's hangar, ready to remove key equipment and send it to the tomb of the aircraft. It would be good if it can be used as waste."
Yang Cheng couldn't speak, and Dennis was allowed to talk to himself, and then took a few calls with his mobile phone until David Ellison was almost unable to hold it, and when he frequently winked at Yang Cheng, Dennis did not Putting down the phone with a relaxed look, "It's done. The board of directors has agreed to the sale plan. Now it's up to the Indians to take the bait."
"I thank you for David~" Yang Cheng said immediately.
Dennis waved his hand, "When I’m not grateful yet, I’ll talk to the Indian first~"
So Dennis got up and went to the Indian side, and the two parties quickly talked.
At the same time, the auctioneer who noticed this scene knew that things might change, so he wisely chose to delay the time by introducing the warship information, and wait for the results of the discussions with the big figures below.
Yang Cheng gave David Ellison a look and motioned him to bid first.
Ellison understood that he added 1 million U.S. dollars to the Indian asking price, and the price reached 27 million U.S. dollars~
The Indians have not increased the price for a long time, but the auctioneer did not dare to drop the hammer.
Until Dennis returned to his seat with a satisfied smile, the Indian offered to give up the bid, and the auctioneer dropped the hammer heavily and announced the deal.
Yang Cheng did not ask about the process, and thanked him directly, "Now I can ask David to thank you~"
Danny Stan accepted, "You're welcome, but I brought an order of 300 million U.S. dollars for the company and made a fortune. Everyone owes each other."
. . .
Returning to his seat, David Ellison let out a long sigh of relief, "Thanks to you, it seems that giving you a model is not enough."
Yang Cheng’s busy schedule not only helped him successfully photograph the warship, but also saved at least several million dollars. What a warship model is.
"You are welcome between us~"
The next lot of auctions, Yang Cheng, are all looking hot, but he is really not interested in taking pictures. He also tried several times, but soon exceeded the psychological price. I gave up without much entanglement.
Until the second half of the auction, he had a whim, and used a price of 4.6 million US dollars to take an antique fighter plane.
This is a P-51D "Mustang" manufactured in 1944. It has been stored for more than 30 years after being grounded in 1983. After the seller’s refurbishment, it can still soar in the sky. The seller also gave away a replaceable Merlin engine and necessary fuselage for free. Components.
The Mustang photographed by Yang Cheng has really been on the battlefield. It has been a heroic fighter plane. It is said that it has a glorious history of shooting down three enemy aircraft. After retiring, it was gifted to the pilot by the Air Force. The life of the pilot maintains the aircraft every day, so that the aircraft is still in near perfect condition and can take off after drinking fuel.
He is going to send the plane to the Santa Barbara Ranch for preservation. There is a big place where you can build a runway for taking off and landing. When you have time to spare, you can take a flight license test. When you have nothing to do, you can drive this ‘Wild Horse’ fighter to patrol the territory.
Anyway, today’s auction did not come in vain. Not only did I photograph an airplane, but I also got an exquisite warship model presented by David Ellison, which can be said to be very satisfying.
