#460 - Chapter 460: Two orders in one day, $3.5 billion! Full expansion of production!
The new headquarters has two underground levels.
Originally, both were parking lots, but York requested that the -2 level of Building 2 be his office space.
An area of over three thousand square meters was completely isolated.
Lü Qingshan sent more than twenty people to guard this area in shifts: Chen Hao had told Xia Qingyan that no one was allowed to ask about York's work, nor could they enter York's workplace—his work was top secret!
Arriving at the -2 level of Building 2, Chen Hao was visibly stunned.
The space was enormous.
Apart from a few computers and servers, it was filled with all sorts of strange things.
A dazzling array of cyberpunk posters…
Cabinets covering an entire wall, filled with various car models…
He seemed to have forgotten that he had good news to tell Chen Hao, and instead pulled Chen Hao towards those messy things.
"I like the cyberpunk style, so I put up these posters."
"I like cars, but…"
"I didn't have any friends before, and it wasn't convenient to move around, so I could only stay at home alone, watching anime all day long…"
He liked cars, but couldn't drive.
He had no friends.
So he stayed at home all day watching anime.
He liked boxing, but not to mention learning skills, even basic physical movements were more difficult for him than for ordinary people.
Why choose the second basement level?
In a place where there was no one, he wanted to create a space that belonged to him!
Here, were his love and dreams!
Chen Hao looked at the fat guy in front of him, but his heart was filled with indescribable emotion.
"I will definitely cure you!"
He patted York on the shoulder: "Not just you, but also people like you!"
York was stunned.
His eyes were a little moist, and he nodded vigorously: "I believe you!"
"Come!"
He pulled Chen Hao to the computer: "I received the first order at noon, it's for the account you applied for Gaza!"
Chen Hao would definitely tell York about applying for an account for the old man afterward.
After all.
The 'small shop' that York runs doesn't accept just any order; he must confirm the buyer's identity.
"How much money?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"2.2 billion US dollars!"
"So much?"
Chen Hao was a little surprised.
"1.2 billion of that is for the individual equipment for two brigades, and the other 1 billion is for ammunition," York explained.
Chen Hao was stunned.
Ammunition alone cost 1 billion?
That's right!
In fact, the cost of individual equipment is not high; compared with similar products in China before, it is only one or two times more expensive—what's expensive is not the equipment, but the ammunition with the all-nitrogen anionic salt as its core.
Has the cost been reduced after such a long time?
I'll take some time to go see!
"Di Di…"
Just as York was excited, a prompt came from the computer.
"Someone has placed another order!"
He quickly opened the order: "It's still that account, this time the order is… 1.3 billion US dollars!"
Chen Hao smiled.
The old man is really busy enough, running to two countries in one day.
Thinking about it, it's normal: Gaza is too poor to afford these expensive equipment, so they can only develop downstream channels to earn the price difference, and then use the money they earn to buy equipment.
Who is the second order for?
Iraq?
Iran?
There's no need to guess about the first order; after all, the biggest tycoon in the Middle East is unique.
He chatted with York for a long time.
"Okay, I'm leaving first."
Before saying goodbye, Chen Hao thought for a while: "York, go out more often; staying here all the time… is not only bad for your health, but also affects your mood."
Underground.
He's the only one here.
How can he stand staying in this environment for a long time?
"Don't worry, I'm already used to it," he said with a chuckle.
That smile.
Was heartbreaking.
Used to being alone?
Behind this habit, is a world full of despair and rejection.
How much discrimination and bullying has he experienced?
Suddenly, Chen Hao had a new idea: "York, wait for my news!"
"Huh?"
York was at a loss.
What news?
On the other side, Chen Hao had already walked away.
…
Walking out of the -2 level basement.
He went straight to Building 1.
The core departments of Hanteng Capital are all located in this building.
Top floor.
CEO's office.
"Sister, is there a cubicle?" He came in and locked the door.
What?!
Xia Qingyan, who was waiting for him, was startled by this sentence.
"You… what are you going to do?!"
Xia Qingyan's heart beat faster.
He locked the door as soon as he came in, and then asked if there was a cubicle…
What does he want to do?
Could it be that after being away for a few days, and not being with his sister, he's getting horny…
"I'm making a phone call," Chen Hao was confused.
"Making a phone call?"
"A confidential phone call."
"Then… over there…"
Xia Qingyan turned her head, her face flushed instantly, pointing to the inner side.
Chen Hao didn't think much, quickly ran to the cubicle inside, and immediately contacted General Wang.
Just right.
General Wang had just gotten off the plane: "What's wrong?"
"How's the production capacity of individual weapons?" Chen Hao went straight to the point.
"Don't worry!"
General Wang grinned: "As long as needed, it can be expanded at any time; even with the current production capacity… it can arm a brigade in a single month!"
Initially, the old man required that within three months, not only should new equipment be developed, but also the arming of thousands of people should be completed.
From the beginning, the production capacity was very high.
These new equipment, of course, have improvements in precision, but in the end, it's still about the materials!
Firearms use special alloys.
Individual armor uses polymer materials.
Ammunition uses all-nitrogen anionic salt.
Machine tools are also available.
As long as the materials are supplied, the manufacturing speed will be very fast!
"Expand production capacity; the equipment produced in a single month must be at least enough for five brigades!" Chen Hao said in a deep voice.
"How much?!"
General Wang was startled: "Isn't… how many brigades do we have? Won't this lead to overcapacity?"
The equipment was initially customized for overseas legions.
Later, it was modified, with a completely changed appearance, and delivered to the Chinese army.
The overseas legions currently have 20,000 people.
They have all been armed long ago.
As for domestic…
There are about eighty brigades.
Produce slowly, replace slowly, no rush.
Once the production capacity is significantly expanded, not only will massive amounts of money be invested, but the army will be replaced with new equipment in one go… what about the production lines and workers?
"We received two orders, for the equipment of three brigades," Chen Hao said in a low voice.
"What?!" General Wang was shocked.
He had just returned!
Orders came so quickly?
"More orders will come in the future!"
"Okay, I got it!"
General Wang nodded repeatedly: "I'll report it immediately, to expand production capacity!"
Exporting is making money.
Money!
Do you want it or not?
"By the way!"
Just as he was about to hang up, he asked again: "How much is the export price?"
"We can't earn much from ammunition; the cost of all-nitrogen anionic salt is too high," Chen Hao said helplessly.
"What about the weapons and equipment?" General Wang pressed.
"The selling price is more than six times higher than the cost."
"Damn!"
General Wang cursed directly.
China has always exported arms, but apart from that batch of Dongfeng missiles back then, the other profits have been very limited.
What is the concept of a selling price being more than six times higher than the cost?
It's robbery!
After talking to General Wang, Chen Hao came out of the cubicle: "Sister, what was the good news you mentioned earlier?"
