    But it was said that Prince Sultan had received orders from Saudi King Fahd and was preparing to make a fortune again.  For him, the B15 and B6, which cannot produce any benefits in the Air Force, and whose maintenance and after-sales service costs far exceed those of Chinese fighters, have become his targets.  Because he was eager to quickly launch a new round of arms purchase negotiations with China, Prince Sultan did not have much entanglement in reselling these US-made military aircraft. In the end, he sold 6 B150Bs and thousands of Sparrow and Sidewinder missiles to China at a cheap price of 1.6 billion US dollars.  Japan, more than a hundred BUF fighters were sold to six countries including Austria, Brazil, and the Philippines, in exchange for approximately US$600 million.

    ¡°In this way, plus the money given to him by King Fahd, Prince Sultan has a total budget of US$600 million to purchase new military aircraft and a budget of US$600 million to purchase rocket launchers.

    After traveling to China with a large sum of US dollars, Prince Sultan received a warm welcome from Qi Yiming. In order to smoothly obtain the military purchase money from this corrupt prince, Qi Yiming gave him extraordinary treatment.  You can enjoy delicious food and stay in luxurious hotels, but the only thing missing is beautiful women.

    This is actually the first time for Prince Sultan to meet Qi Yiming, the big boss behind the scenes, but he has heard about Qi Yiming for a long time and knows that this is the benevolent person who determines how much benefit he can get from the arms purchase case.  Sultan took Qi Yiming's arm and said to him cordially: "The cooperation and trade between China and Saudi Arabia have been progressing smoothly in recent years. It is not just our military cooperation. Chinese friends have helped us build an updated communication network.  The Internet has been built and a large number of cheap goods have been provided to improve the living standards of our citizens. I firmly believe that the cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China is constructive."

    Qi Yiming blinked and said pointedly: "Not only are countries mutually beneficial, but so are both of us, hahahaha."

    Sultan also laughed so hard that his beard trembled, and he added: "I have great trust in China's technical level, and I can't wait to see the new fighter jets your country has developed specifically for Saudi Arabia."

    Qi Yiming smiled on his face, but secretly laughed in his heart.  It is an exaggeration to say that the F9 was developed specifically for Saudi Arabia, but he did consider Saudi factors before.  The Al-Yamaha Agreement is actually only half completed, and Saudi Arabia's thirst for advanced equipment is almost endless.  After selling 100 EBs to them, Qi Yiming naturally would not be satisfied. It would be logical to get more money from this large arms purchaser.

    After the banquet, Qi Yiming took Prince Sultan and a group of Saudi attach¨¦s to the airport to watch the F9 Shadow Leopard fighter jets.  The car Prince Sultan was riding in was a domestically produced luxury sports car given to him by Qi Yiming. Although domestically produced sports cars are still less famous than Italian and German sports cars that have been passed down for a long time, in the past two years, Chinese sports cars have become the most popular sports car in the world.  The performance is still very commendable.  In particular, Qi Yiming plagiarized the appearance of many later concept cars, making Chinese sports cars in the late 1980s synonymous with speed, coolness and visual impact.  In addition to Shenghua, which operates two sports car sub-brands, Hanxue and Jueying, FAW has also launched its own relatively cheap Zidian sports car.

    Prince Sultan¡¯s new car is the earliest sports car brand in China. It has initially established its own reputation and has the first batch of foreign fans.  This sports car named Sweat NRB has a global limited edition and is priced at US$360,000. As a new luxury car brand, more than 40 units have been ordered, which really surprised Qi Yiming.

    Arriving at the test flight ground, Prince Sultan was still immersed in the speed and excellent comfort of his new car, and was considering whether to buy another one for his dear son after taking the rebate from this military purchase.  But business matters are more important. Only when the business affairs are completed can you get the money.  He immediately looked seriously at the desert camouflage-painted fighter jets parked on the edge of the runway.

    In order to welcome the visit from Saudi Arabia, Qi Yiming put in a lot of effort. In addition to entertaining this big benefactor, he also tried his best to make them feel friendly in the appearance of the aircraft.  Saudi Arabia's desert environment is naturally suitable for such a painting, and there is also the Saudi Air Force's Saber Palm logo on the fuselage.

    "The F9 Shadow Leopard (TanLena0) is a heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter aircraft developed by my country's West Aircraft Research Institute on the basis of the EB Flying Cloud Leopard. Perhaps the appearance is not very different from the EB. Of course, the most obvious change is that we are increasing On the basis of wing-body fusion, a pair of closely coupled canards are added to this type of fighter, allowing it to gain greater maneuverability. Furthermore, we have installed a -10H vector engine for the F9, with the maximum thrust increased from the Flying Cloud Leopard. The 20 kN was increased to 136 kN, and it also gained a stronger maneuverability and air control level.

    Naturally, its powerful loading capacity has not been weakened at all. The aircraft's maximum payload is still 10.6 tons. All previous ammunition types can be used on this fighter. In addition, we have added several more accurate weapons.  Strike weapons make its ground strike capability more significant.

    One part that has also changed a lot is the airborne avionics system. We canceled the original 1474 Doppler pulse radar and adopted the newer 152 Doppler radar, which has a detection range of more than 20 kilometers, and  Its anti-interference ability, reliability rate and trouble-free working time are all better than those of 1474.More than one level.  The 152 can track three targets at the same time and select four of them to attack separately. The mission computer's computing speed is faster.  At the same time, it also has the needs for ground attacks such as downward vision and terrain matching.

    Another major improvement worth mentioning is that we have added stronger stand-alone electronic warfare capabilities to the new Shadow Leopard fighter. It can be said that even without mounting any electronic warfare pods, the Shadow Leopard fighter has a certain degree of electromagnetic interference immunity.  and the ability to destroy.  If equipped with our newly developed electronic warfare suite, it will form an absolute suppression of the enemy's electronic environment. The enemy's radar will have difficulty finding the Shadow Leopard, missile guidance will be interfered with, and communications will be blocked, thus giving the fighter aircraft full advantages.  .  "

    Qi Yiming eloquently introduced that he himself believed that although the F9 is not the strongest fighter that can be made with the current technical level, it still has incomparable advantages in this era.  In previous tests, researchers concluded that in addition to the semi-stealth and stronger combat capabilities of the J-ll Black Hawk fighter, which has certain advantages over the F9, the J-10B second-generation Raptor, which is heavily equipped with the Air Force, is also the most powerful against the F9.  It's a number of five to five.

    There are some Saudis who know the goods, and they are very excited to know that the Chinese have come up with a "housekeeping treasure".  In the subsequent test flight performance, an F9 demonstrated a series of dazzling super maneuvers, such as Cobra maneuver, pendulum maneuver, Falun maneuver, etc., which directly exceeded everyone's awareness.

    ¡°Great, this is the fighter plane we want,¡± Prince Sultan exclaimed with pretended excitement. In fact, he had already decided to buy a Chinese aircraft before coming to China. It is self-evident why.

    Zhou Yutong promptly handed the Saudis a quotation. The price for bare-metal flying away was US$260,000, and the purchase price including accessories, initial spare parts, and support equipment was US$2.86 million. This price did not include the cost of military infrastructure and base hardware.  Generally, Qi Yiming lets the Saudis earn their own money and provide guidance on how to do it.  Another advantage of buying a Chinese aircraft is that Qi Yiming always comes with a certain amount of weapons. For example, in this case, each fighter plane is given 2 pL4 and pl-2A. According to the market price, one pLC is US$20,000.  The pL-2A costs US$20,000, so the weapon alone costs US$240,000.  Of course, the actual cost of manufacturing these things is horribly low. Even if they are produced by military industrial companies, more than 70% of them are profits.

    After receiving the quotation, Prince Sultan did not discuss it in front of many colleagues, and did not reply to Qi Yiming via email until that evening.  At this time, the Internet was in its ascendant, and people were not very familiar with these things, so it was more confidential to transmit private information via email, not to mention that Qi Yiming also controlled the network.

    Qi Yiming sat on the sofa, holding a glass of juice, and exclaimed: "This Prince Sultan is really evil. Let us quote 360,000, which means he has swallowed 6.4 billion US dollars."

    Zhou Yutong sighed and said: "This kind of commission and kickback is the most inefficient transaction method in economics. If we can buy 2 more fighter jets with more than 600 million US dollars, we will make more money.  They also get more defense equipment.¡±

    Qi Yiming smiled and said: "Although I say this, in real life it cannot be summarized by drawing a four-quadrant supply and demand diagram. If we had not paid such a high amount of money to buy the road, the Saudis would not even consider coming.  Buy our weapons and we won't make a cent."

    Zhou Yutong nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."

    He took out another piece of material and gave it to Qi Yiming and said with a smile: "This is Saudi Arabia's multiple rocket launcher procurement plan. They have taken a fancy to our E-type 2230mm modular rocket launcher system. Our original price was  300,000 sets, and Prince Sultan plans to order 100 sets. The number of rockets required by Saudi Arabia is relatively large. A total of 86 rockets of two calibers will be purchased, so the price with the bombs is 60,000 per set.  His Royal Highness asked us to quote a total price of 600 million."

    Qi Yiming chuckled and said: "It's cheaper than the Brazilians. I saw the Brazilian's offer to Saudi Arabia last year. 76 sets of T6 rockets with more than 6,000 rockets. The asking price is also 600 million. Buying our rocket launchers not only has a longer range.  Far away, and I bought more. Haha, some people can get rebates, so everyone is a winner.

    Amid such shady insider trading, the second phase of the Al Yamaha Agreement between China and Saudi Arabia was completed at an alarming speed.  China has won a contract worth a total of US$5.72 billion from Saudi Arabia to provide Saudi Arabia with 60 F9 Shadow Leopard fighter jets and 100 E-multiple rocket launcher systems.  China's arms exports, which were originally ignored by everyone, have suddenly become an important player after the United States and even surpassing the Soviet Union.
