Chapter 939
"Mr Li, if there is anything you need, just ask, we will definitely try to cooperate and satisfy you." Tan Gang said.
"OK, I'll have my people contact you guys later, I don't know much about the technology in that area either." Li Linfei nodded his head.
Some time ago, Jun Yi had yelled at Li Linfei about not having enough materials to prepare nuclear fusion devices, and asked Li Linfei to ask his people in the military for them.
No, the opportunity came, and Li Linfei immediately seized it.
After chatting about nuclear fusion, the corner of Li Linfei's lips curled and he said, "Minister Tan, previously, because of my company, it caused the military to lose a number of customers, for which I am sorry."
"Small matter, small matter, it's all in the past, let's not mention it." Having reached a cooperation intention with Li Linfei for nuclear fusion, Tan Gang was now in a very good mood and was full of smiles as he spoke.
"No, no, no, how can it be passed so easily, it cannot be passed so easily. This way, to show my apology and support for the country, I am willing to pay for all the products they didn't want before, to buy them all."
Li Linfei had his own intentions when he met with Tan Gang today, and only now, had he just thrown out his own ideas.
"This ......" Both Tan Gang and Ye Lan were dumbfounded and looked at Li Linfei with a dumbfounded expression.
They had clearly said that it was fine, but why did Li Linfei still have to jump into this muddy water and spend more than 10 billion dollars.
Was this guy still awake, or had he been poisoned by tea?
In response to their odd gazes, Li Linfei was unconcerned and continued to talk about his own business.
"In addition to that ten billion dollars of products, I also want to prepare to purchase a batch of cargo planes and ships in your military, with an estimated expenditure of ...... ninety billion dollars."
"What!" Tan Gang suddenly jumped up when he heard Li Linfei's words.
Ye Lan was on the side, also jaw dropping in shock because of Li Linfei's words.
"Li, Chief Li, are you alright?" Tan Gang's first reaction was that Li Linfei was out of his mind and couldn't believe it.
Because together with the more than ten billion US dollars of products that he had just made, Li Linfei was about to spend one hundred billion US dollars on the military.
This was not a small amount, one hundred billion dollars, this was equivalent to more than 67% of the military's share of the military budget this year, it was too huge and one had to be suspicious.
Li Linfei laughed, "Minister Tan, take it easy, sit down and talk, although it sounds a bit unbelievable, I am not joking with you, I am serious and also have a purpose and plan, so you don't have to worry that I am amusing you."
"Didn't you just say that the country's military spending is tight, it's okay, I have some spare money, let's have mutual benefits, you sell me things and I'll give you the funds."
"I am a patriotic young man, although I can do little for the country, but this is also a little bit of my own heart."
Now at this moment, one can make up whatever one likes and fool around as much as one wants.
It was true that Li Linfei loved his country, after all, it was the country that gave birth to him and was the stable base for future technology, but to say that he would die for his country and give all he had or whatever, Li Linfei's consciousness had not yet risen to that level.
The reason why he has to provide the military with military funding is that Li Linfei wants to take this opportunity to develop his relationship with the country before someone tries to trip up Future Technology in the future.
It would be wise to let the military realise in advance that Future Technology is stronger and more dedicated than any of their companies.
Of course, there was another point, that is, when it made sense, Li Linfei wanted to do some indispensable paving for his company's external development, including the armed forces in the open.
"Hoo ...... Mr. Li, if I hadn't dealt with you many times and knew you as a person, and if any other person had said to me that I was going to buy $90 billion from you, I would have immediately gotten up and left the place because it was too ridiculous to believe! "
After calming his emotions for a moment, Tan just questioned Li Linfei with an excited tone and asked, "So tell me, what all do you want?"
Li Linfei's gaze narrowed as he slowly said, "Firstly, two hundred Kunpeng Transport 20s, ten J-20s, five bombers of any type, secondly, ten missile destroyers, ten missile frigates, and five nuclear submarines, and if there's an aircraft carrier or something, that would be even better."
"Finally, I need a certain amount of conventional armaments, and as you know, Minister Tan, my company is currently expanding its global market, including the war-torn regions of Africa, and the conflict zones of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia."
"Although Future Technology's reputation is loud, there are still many evil elements who roam the sword who are not afraid of us, so in order for our company to better benefit the world, I think it is necessary for our company to have an armed force."
After hearing Li Linfei's words, Ye Lan next to him sucked in a breath of cold air, while Tan Gang looked at Li Linfei in shock.
"What you are asking for is not something that ordinary companies would dare to ask for." Tan Gang stared closely at Li Linfei, his face slightly sunken.
He also had to admit that Li Linfei was really bold, actually daring to ask for armaments and equipment.
"Minister Tan, if you want to compare any other company with us, then you have to see what qualifications they have to compare with us... Any company in China that pays as much tax as we do to the ZF? No, right?"
Tan Gang could not refute Li Linfei's words.
Indeed, Future Technology was not only the number one company in the Fortune 500, it was also the number one company in the world.
In terms of potential and revenue alone, there is no other company in the world that can reach the level of Future Technology, this is undeniable.
Li Linfei continued, "And Minister Tan, if I don't buy the things I just mentioned, do you think the military will be able to come up with US$90 billion with those products?"
Tan Gang's face was stunned, yes, the military's sales to the outside world were basically all arms type products.
Apart from selling aircraft, artillery, satellites, ships and conventional weaponry, there wasn't much else to sell.
Chapter 940
If it was ten years ago, Li Linfei, a private enterprise owner, offered to buy arms, then Tan Gang would definitely have had him arrested immediately.
But now it was different, the times were progressing and the status of businessmen was constantly changing.
The changing times have brought the whole of China into an era of relative openness.
Although it is not as good as those in the West, at least China is now open-minded.
"Also, you may not know, Minister Tan, that I personally have faced several assassinations when I was abroad, and I nearly lost my life each time."
"If I don't gain some armed power to deter the outside world, I'm afraid that the next time I go abroad, I will be successfully assassinated, and when the future technology falls into other people's hands, it won't be good for China, at least those people won't be as friendly to China as I am."
This statement from Li Linfei was pure bullshit.
With the system plus his own strength, assassination and all that, it would do nothing for him.
And he held 95% of the shares in the headquarters of Super Dimension Technology, even if something bad happened to him and he wasn't married, the shares would transition to his parents' hands and there was no way they would leak out.
Of course, there are some things that Tan Gang does not know and does not need to know.
If Li Linfei wanted to obtain a certain amount of armed equipment from the military, he still had to have Tan Gang's nod of support, otherwise everything was bullshit.
"This matter, involves a lot of information, I can't digest and solve it for the time being, I need to go back to Yanjing." Tan Gang's face was already gradually becoming serious.
"Okay, I don't expect you to agree to me immediately, everything has to be a process, but Minister Tan, that ninety billion plus more than ten billion, is not a small amount, and I have quite a lot of cash in my hand now, all these transactions, I can make cash transactions, if it drags on for a long time, it's not easy to say." Li Linfei said unhurriedly.
His words fell on Tan Gang's ears, causing the latter's heart and soul to tremble.
One hundred billion US dollars in cash, that was cash, and it almost made Tan Gang feel the urge to say yes to Li Linfei immediately, but he held back.
But before he left, he said, "Mr Li, there's a small matter in Yuezhou, it will be resolved locally."
Li Linfei drifted off and nodded, this matter had already been said by Tan Gang, he would be insensitive if he still went.
After saying this Tan Gang did not stay at the hotel and immediately asked Ye Lan to arrange a plane and flew directly to Yanjing that afternoon.
On Li Linfei's side, to be honest, he was also a bit apprehensive. In his plan, the deal with the military was a very important part of the defeat. If Tan Gang and the others did not give face and did not want the US$100 billion, then it would disrupt Li Linfei's deployment.
However, I think they are not that stupid, Li Linfei is giving them money, usually selling to other countries is selling, selling to Li Linfei, one of their own, is more logical than selling to others ah.
Perhaps the only thing they need to worry about is that when Li Linfei gets bigger, he will leave his nationality and go it alone.
But Li Linfei really didn't think that way. He did it purely for self-preservation and deterrence.
Because being a businessman was always more leisurely and free than being a national leader, and he had never been a man who liked trouble.
As expected, he did not keep Li Linfei waiting for too long, two days later at two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Linfei received a call from Tan Gang.
"Hey, Minister Tan, how's it going?" Li Linfei asked.
"Ah, Mr Li, this is a bit of a problem."
Li Linfei frowned and said in a slightly ridiculous tone, "Minister Tan, this is still troublesome? I'm giving you money, a hundred billion dollars, don't you want it?"
Said Li Linfei with a few moments of anger, "If it's really too much, then fine, you tell me now, I'll go buy it elsewhere, I just don't believe the money can't be spent yet lol."
"Mr. Li, calm down, you don't mean that." Tan Gang laughed bitterly.
"What I mean is that it's a hassle to let you have these things reasonably, as for the batch of goods you want, naturally our military is a thousand and one willing to sell them to you, after all, we have deals with other countries too, with outsiders, and with you, one of our own, that goes without saying."
At these words, Li Linfei had a few moments of embarrassment, it turned out that he had misunderstood.
"I'm sorry, I thought you guys weren't selling." Su Cheng said, "However, what do you mean by reasonably owning? I see that some large international companies also own their own armed forces."
"The world environment now, on the surface, looks calm, but in reality, there are dark currents."
Tan Gang said slightly mysteriously, "Mr Li, I'm not going to hide it from you, perhaps in a few years' time, the international situation will change drastically."
"What do you mean? Is there going to be a war?"
"I'm not sure, anyway the situation is not good." Reluctant to say more, Tan Gang turned back to the topic he had just discussed.
"However, your matter was a bit troublesome, but after some discussion and help from the top, it was resolved for you."
"Thanks a lot."
"Thank you is not necessary, after all, it is a deal between our two sides, and you want a lot."
Tan Gang was in a good mood and laughed, "By the way, the top said that you can get away with not asking for that ten billion dollars worth of materials, we all understand, we can't screw you over with what others don't want either."
"Don't, Minister Tan don't, keep that stuff for me, I want it!" Li Linfei said in a hurry.
"You this ......" Tan just this is a little confused, confused Li Linfei idea, not let you jump into the fire, how do you still have to jump down ah, do not we live in the same dimension?
"Since I opened my mouth, it's not that bad. By the way, since your side has been taken care of, when are we going to sign the contract, as soon as the contract is ready, I will immediately pay you the money." Li Linfei said.
"Well, Mr. Li, in fact, I'm not going to hide it from you, the two hundred transport 20s you want, we don't have that many in stock yet, all the aviation manufacturing companies combined only have less than a hundred, so ......"
Li Linfei laughed, "It's fine, it's fine, I'll pay first, and after I pay, you can take your time to produce them."
The Yun 20 is the most advanced transport aircraft in China at the moment, and long before that, Li Linfei had the intention of setting up an air transport company that belonged exclusively to Future Technology, and both the Yun 20 and the American C17 were cargo planes that he had his eye on.
