Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1120 Can’t Sell

General Kamal is no longer the General Kamal who needed to borrow money to buy our arms.

A large area of ​​territory was lost to the Persians. It was thanks to Chen Changan's advice and the provision of a large number of weapons and equipment that they were able to regain the lost territory.

Now that the war has been over for several years, seeing that he has dominated the Middle East, his attitude towards Chen Changan is not as respectful as before.

"Chen, my friend. A small amount of ammunition is not worth my purchase at all.

We want the most advanced weapons, money is no object, we have plenty of them.

I know that whether it is airplanes, tanks, artillery or armored vehicles, what you produce is not the best in the world.

In our entire Middle East, we don't take anyone seriously except the big guys.

Why doesn't anyone in the Middle East mess with the big guys? It's because they bought your missiles.

I am also very clear that your country is short of money and does not have much money to invest in scientific research.

But I have to admit that your country's missiles are indeed powerful.

The reason I came here this time is to buy your country's latest missiles like a big customer.

Of course, if mushrooms are available, we are willing to pay a high price for them.”

Although we won the battle to defend our homeland with the help of Chinese weapons.

But after seeing the Soviet and American weapons, General Kamal really looked down on Chinese weapons.

For these Middle Eastern countries, with abundant oil, money is nothing.

Just sit at home every day and money will come in continuously.

Even when buying things, he only chooses the expensive ones, not the right ones.

They were about to attack other countries. Hussein was able to become the leader of a country, which meant he was not completely incompetent.

He also thought that his next actions might lead to attacks from Middle Eastern countries.

The big players in the Middle East are someone that everyone needs to be wary of. The reason is very simple, because they bought back the national treasures from the big countries in the East both times they encountered crises.

He thought that if he really angered the public, if he had the national treasure in his hand, he would not have to fear anyone.

This is also the reason why they left the northern big country and came to the eastern big country first.

There is no way the northern superpower would sell such weapons to them.

Looking around the world, the only countries that could possibly buy such weapons are the cash-strapped Eastern powers.

This is the reason why General Kamal came to the Eastern country in person this time.

After listening to Kamal's words, Chen Changan didn't even need to report the situation to his superiors and directly refused.

“General Kamal, I’m sorry, it was a difficult time for our country.

At that time, we had no choice but to sell some weapons.

It is really difficult to continue selling these weapons now, after all, we have always been a peace-loving country."

Are you kidding? Given Hussein's personality, he only has a few thousand tanks, but he starts to think that he is the third most powerful military country in the world. It is impossible to sell these missiles to them.

As for the big players, they usually only think about making money. They buy missiles only because they are afraid that someone will steal them. They usually don’t actively attack anyone. They buy missiles purely for self-protection.

Moreover, Prince Sultan and Chen Changan are friends, and they have cooperated before.

At that time, the country was in urgent need of foreign exchange, so it was sold to Saudi Arabia.

Hussein is an ambitious guy who stirs up trouble all the time. If I really sell it to him, I will be implicated.

The most important thing is that once the United Nations forces led by the United States are dispatched, even if they have these missiles in their hands, the final outcome will not change.

Since the outcome cannot be changed anyway, why bother selling them weapons?

"Chen, I've always felt that after our last transaction, we've become very good friends.

But now it seems that you don’t regard us as friends, which makes me very disappointed.

You were willing to sell missiles to Prince Sultan but not to us. Are you afraid that we can't afford the price?

If you really consider me and His Excellency Hussein as your friends, you should not treat us like this."

General Kamal was furious and felt humiliated.

The Eastern superpower was willing to sell missiles to big customers twice, but was unwilling to sell them to them, which made General Kamal feel that he was being treated differently.

"General Kamal, I do consider you one of my best friends.

But friends are friends, and business is business. There are some things I cannot influence, and I hope General Kamel understands.

So for this transaction, I can only say sorry."

General Kamel nodded in understanding.

"I understand your difficulties, but I cannot understand your country's choice."

Then General Kamel stood up and continued.

“Since the transaction cannot go on, I will not waste any more time.

Later I will go to the northern big country to purchase some military equipment.

Although this transaction was not successful, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Then General Kamal stretched out his hand and looked at Chen Changan.

This is very different from General Kamal who chose to hug Chen Changan as soon as he saw him.

However, Chen Changan didn't care. With Hussein's defeat and capture, General Kamal's fate was not much better.

This meeting between the two sides may also be the last one.

"Okay, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Then Chen Changan and General Kamal shook hands together. This was also the last time they shook hands.

With the departure of General Kamal, major domestic newspapers once again promoted science and technology as the primary productive forces.

Soon, higher-ups began to pay attention to the situation of scientific researchers, and funding began to tilt towards scientific research.

Even Ms. Huang's chip research institute received 2 million yuan in research funds.

"Director Chen, thank you. Although the two million yuan funding isn't much, it means this researcher doesn't have to worry about her living expenses."

"Ms. Huang, this has nothing to do with me. If you really want to thank me, please arrange for a few people to help me keep an eye on the chip factory.

The chip factory is now complete, but we are all new to installing and debugging the production line."

Ms. Huang was not happy about the two million. Even if the chip research cost two hundred million, it would be used up quickly.

She was happy that her superiors had begun to attach importance to scientific research. Now two million was indeed a drop in the bucket for chip research.

But as the national economy gradually improves, there will definitely be more and more funding in the future.

At least it makes her feel optimistic about the future of domestic chip research.

"No problem, leave this to me."
