How much does the DD52G destroyer sell for?
This issue was discussed several times among Qin Shan and a group of naval officers, and even several discussions were held with higher-ups.
The final result is that the price is about 40 billion to 50 billion Long coins!
This price seems very high, but it should be noted that the cost of the DD52G destroyer is as high as 30 billion Long coins!
In the end, the military is not like Su Heng; they can't adopt intelligent equipment on a large scale for manufacturing as Su Heng can.
Although the military is also introducing intelligent equipment from Su Heng's side.
But all reform requires time.
This is not something that can be done in a day or two.
Moreover, even if production mode is improved, the priority should still be to supply the manufacture of advanced warships such as Longyuan warships,backs, and mouths.
Now, Modararhaner has opened his mouth for 1.5 billion, almost equal to four-fifths of a whole Dragon Rider squadron!
The price they've set may not even satisfy the Sand Camel...
The dream of the 52G destroyer has disappeared completely at this moment.
People are always longing for beauty and strength, the same goes for seeing beautiful and powerful things, naturally everyone also wants to own them. The representatives of Xiaoba Village are no exception.
To be honest, Qin Shan was completely taken aback by Modararhaner.
Now, Modararhaner has opened his mouth for 1.5 billion!
After seeing the DD52G destroyer, the representatives of Xiaoba Village were also once inspired to purchase this warship, even dreaming that if they could own a fleet of DD52G destroyers, they would dominate not only the Southern Continent but also the entire White Elephant Sea?
By then, even a White Elephant would dare not show its teeth at them.
But now, after hearing the figure of 1.5 billion, all the representatives of Xiaoba Village have been scared back by their thoughts.
"Qin, 1.5 billion Long coins, what do you think of this price?"
In any case, the Sand Camel people have often spent vast sums of money on equipment before.
By the billions!
Even if it's just doubled, that's also a profit of tens of billions!
Such a huge profit, even Qin Shan had to say something to remind Modararhaner.
At one moment, he even wondered if Modararhaner was an idiot, why he would open his mouth to say such an exaggerated price...
……
But then Qin Shan suddenly thought, it would be better to let the Sand Camel people determine the price rather than waste his own time on it.
Just a moment later, the representatives of Xiaoba Village felt a chill in their hearts.
"Prince, are you serious?"
After all, a squadron of Dragon Riders costs no more than two or three hundred billion Long coins.
In this case, adding that the basic design of the 52G destroyer is still the self-developed 52D destroyer of Long Village, to a certain extent, it is necessary to include the development cost of the 52D destroyer. In this way, the cost of the warship cannot be low!
……
"Prince, though we are eager to make money, there is one thing I must remind you. The price you've proposed has completely exceeded our price range..."
How many villages are trying to buy Raptor, but Baihui Village has never exported any Raptor fighter jets to any villages!
In the end, money is a good thing, but money is not an all-powerful thing!
"I don't know how long it's been, Modararhaner has finally snapped out of it and slowly opened his mouth to say:
Although not caring about it, Long Village can still afford salaries, but if these talents do nothing for a long time, everything will be forgotten. What's the difference between having these talents and not having them at all?
Therefore, the current positioning of the DD52G class destroyer as a secondary warship is to use external funds to cultivate Long Village's own shipbuilding talents!
From top-level advanced R&D talents to ordinary frontline technical workers!
By trading to stimulate work!
In front of Qin Shan, it wasn't just Modararhaner; almost everyone present was lost in thought.
For the time being, it's not about the secondary warships like the DD52G.
It's three times higher than their highest price range!
Three times, this may not sound high, considering the profits of the drones sold by Su Heng, which were often several times or even more than 100 times the original price.
Their price range was only fourty to fifty billion Long coins.
In their minds, they involuntarily began to calculate the figure of 150 billion.
The final conclusion is that this warship has no price!
Normally, a warship as advanced as this could not be sold by any village!
Just like the Raptor stealth fighter before from Baihui Village.
And if all of them were to adopt intelligence, where would these military industrial talents be put?
You can't just leave them there to rot, right?
In front of Modararhaner, after a moment of shock, Qin Shan quickly recovered and then asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan's mind shook violently.
After all, the price was too outlandish. Qin Shan could accept an extra few billion or even double the price, but this sudden increase of over a hundred billion was something Qin Shan, being a straightforward person, couldn't shake off the feeling of not being able to sleep for days if he actually took it...
This doesn't even take into account the cost of the technical assistance provided by Su Heng.
Moreover, the main purpose of the 52G class destroyer as secondary warships is to ensure the vitality of military industrial talents, avoiding situations like the Black Eagle Village's Raptor fighter jets where critical moments arrive without sufficient materials and personnel!
If his mental fortitude wasn't strong, he almost lost his composure!
Next to Modararhaner, the representative of Xiaoba Village, who had always been a small fish in a big pond, couldn't help but swallow eagerly.
Before Modararhaner could even open his mouth, Qin Shan quickly spoke again.
Who can withstand this thing?
If the actual research and development costs of these black technologies provided by Su Heng are included, the cost of a single DD52G destroyer might well be exorbitant!
Don't even mention the incredible price tag of several billion dollars for the Black Eagle's advanced destroyer, Type 2A!
Qin Shan believes that Modararhaner will definitely give him a satisfactory price, even exceeding their own Long Village's estimation…
But at least a cost of four to five billion should be unavoidable!
So after the final discussion, the price was determined to be in the range of 40 to 50 billion Long coins.
What is the value of the DD52G destroyer?
They had estimated this question before.
But you must know, the 52G destroyer's basic cost is 50 billion!
Facing Qin Shan's inquiry, Modararhaner nodded without hesitation and said:
"I am very certain, Qin, your warship is excellent, excellent to the point of surpassing my imagination!"
"The most advanced Aegis warship of the Black Eagle Village, the price set by the Black Eagle Village military is 18 billion dollars. According to the exchange rate before the depreciation of Green coins, this 18 billion dollars are almost equivalent to 126 billion Long coins!"
"I don't know how much your warship costs, but there's no doubt that the value of your warship can easily exceed the Black Eagle Village's Aegis warship!"
"Even more so, if I were not taking the position of my village, speaking purely from my own perspective, I would even say that 150 billion is too low..."
By the end, Modararhaner's voice was filled with an unbridled sense of amazement.
More than 150 billion?
A lot!
Even for them, the Sand Camels, this is not a small sum of money.
But if Modararhaner puts the 150 billion into the current warship, he feels that it is not much.
In Modararhaner's mind, the warship is worth every penny.
Of course, besides the technical and strategic value of the DD52G destroyer.
More importantly, Modararhaner also wanted to "spend a thousand ounces of gold for a horse's bone" just like before!
Previously, he had repeatedly spent a great deal of money with Long Village, even engaging in what others would see as "stupid and rich" behavior, purchasing various equipment from Long Village at high prices.
Then, when others were still laughing, he obtained the eagle!
Got the Judge!
Got the Yinglong and Dragon Rider!
Got the Camouflager!
Got the Star River Technology's satellite support!
Got the Sword Twenty!
Got the P15 Hypersonic Remote Anti-Air Missile!
Even obtained the chance to drive the Black Eagle Village out of the desert!
Now, there's an opportunity to get the DD52G class destroyers, which are top-tier warships akin to black tech!
People may laugh at others who are rich and foolish, but how can they know what good things they have obtained with their money?
After all, money is just a number to them, the Sand Camels.
The same goes for the resources; after all, there's an endless supply, both to gather and to spend.
And he can use these things that will never run out, to protect their oil and gold mines, as well as the safety of their camel people!
Modararhaner very much liked a phrase from Long Village - if money is not used to buy weapons, then what is it for? Is it for war reparations?
Spending all that money results in tenfold or even hundredfold returns!
Now, Modararhaner plans to further spend money, use it as a way to deepen the relationship between the Sand Camels and Long Village!
Now that he has bought the DD52G destroyer with huge funds, will it be long before he can buy the Sword Twenty-one, a top-tier fighter jet?
That's called investment!
Modararhaner doesn't think that if he hadn't invested so much wealth in Long Village previously, he would have had the opportunity to buy such advanced warships as the DD52G today!
Thinking about this, before Qin Shan could respond, Modararhaner opened his mouth again and said:
"Qin, if you are willing to accept the price of 150 billion, then please arrange for us the Sand Camels to directly order twenty... no, forty DD52G destroyers and their accompanying ammunition. The payment for these orders will be the same as before, all using oil or gold. How long do you think it will take for you to complete and deliver these orders?"
"Hrum..." Hearing Modararhaner's voice, before Qin Shan could say much, the representative of Xiaoba Village, who was standing not far from Modararhaner, couldn't help but swallow eagerly.
At this moment, he felt his throat was extremely dry!
One hundred and fifty billion, forty!
How much money is this?
Just thinking about the numbers, the representative from Xiaoba Village felt slightly dizzy.
Their annual military budget of Xiaoba Village is only a few hundred billion Long coins, at most!
Now, Modararhaner directly threw out thousands of billions of Long coins without a moment's hesitation!
So much money would be enough for them to spend for ten years!
After a moment of dizziness, followed by a strong sense of envy.
Not just envy the Sand Camels, but more so the Long Village.
Envy the Sand Camels for having so many resources and wealth to exchange for technology and strengthen themselves.
Even more envied by Long Village for having such powerful technological capabilities!
And their Xiaoba Village, in the presence of the two giants - Long Village and the Sand Camels, is like a small invisible figure, weak and helpless……
While Xiaoba Village was envying, Qin Shan was also silent, seemingly maintaining composure on the surface but internally his mind was in turmoil.
Even with his current status and position, having experienced so many rough times and even rolling around in piles of corpses more than once, he still felt some difficulty in calming down.
A six-hundred-billion Long coin order!
How can anyone maintain composure with such an order?
This amount of money is enough for them to build two hundred DD52G destroyers!
No, to be precise, it's even more than that. After all, once the quantity reaches a certain level, the cost will be significantly spread out!
Likewise, if these funds were to be used for Su Heng to manufacture Long Yan warships, it would be enough for him to produce at least three hundred Long Yan warships!
And there are also the strategic submarines like Chiwen and Bixi.
The cost of a Chiwen attacking submarine is less than ten billion Long coins!
The cost of a Bixi strategic submarine is about twenty billion Long coins, which already includes the cost of the mushrooms.
If we exclude the cost of the mushrooms, the Bixi strategic submarine costs just over ten billion. With six hundred billion, how many Bixi strategic submarines could be built?
Just thinking about it makes one shiver!
If it wasn't for the fact that the person speaking was Modararhaner, Qin Shan even wondered if he had hallucinations!
"Huff..."
For a long time, Qin Shan took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then turned his gaze back to Modararhaner and said in a low voice:
"Prince, are you certain that you want to buy forty DD52G destroyers all at once?"
"Of course," as Qin Shan's words fell, Modararhaner's voice resounded immediately.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan immediately fell silent.
Before Qin Shan could think much, Modararhaner's voice rang out again:
"Qin, if you think that's not enough, then we can also consider adding more..."
"Add?"
Qin Shan's mouth twitched slightly.
Think that having a lot of oil and gold makes you special, do you?
Spend money like this?
Well, it seems that the Sand Camels have a lot of oil and gold!
Thinking of this, Qin Shan looked at Modararhaner with a complicated expression and then said:
"Since it is like this, then the order will be accepted, as for the delivery time of the warships..."
Qin Shan pondered for a moment, estimated the production capacity of his shipyard, and then continued: "According to our current production speed, in the fastest case, we can deliver twelve DD52G destroyers in a year. For forty DD52G destroyers, it is estimated that we can complete all deliveries within four years!"
Four years?
Hearing this number, Modararhaner's eyes brightened.
"That's good! Let's sign the order now. You want oil or gold? Once the order is signed, I will immediately have someone arrange it for you!"
