Chapter 1310 – Don’t get involved
Sanders said a lot, and Feng Yu couldn’t remember everything. But he sounded very professional, and Feng Yu only remember some of China’s consumable military products are very popular around the world.
“Mr. Sanders, I understand what you are talking about. But I am curious, since the profits are so high, why should I let my country cooperate with you?”
If businessmen don’t lack funds, they will not tell others the secret of how they make money. Even to their business partners, they will not reveal everything.
“Mr. Feng, I think you might have misunderstood me. I know what you are trying to ask. You are saying that you all can do without me and get all the profits. But let me remind you one thing. Sales channel.”
“You are a successful businessman and can be considered the most successful businessman in the world. You should understand the importance of sales channels. One of my partners is a famous company, and I think you should have heard of them. Colt!”
Colt!”
Feng Yu has heard of them. Although he is not a military enthusiastic, he had heard of this name. Many people even claim Colt represents all revolver and handguns.
This might be exaggerated, but it showed Colt’s status in the industry.
Also, this firearms manufacturer has over one hundred years of history and is renown around the world. Feng Yu also heard this company is a supplier of the US army.
Of course, these western firearms manufacturers are not only supplying their weapons to the government. For example, the Blackwater Security and African and many countries’ warlords had also bought lots of weapons from them.
Weapons are like machines. Once the production reaches a certain scale, the cost will be lowered. At the same time, the profits will also increase. Feng Yu had heard these firearms manufacturers support the Bush family, and wars are beneficial to them.
If Sanders and the Colt family have a good relationship, then they should be good sales channels. This also means he might be on the same side as the Bush family. Of course, these are only Feng Yu’s guesses.
“Sanders, what can you do even if you are the Boss of the Colt Company? You had just told me that much of China’s equipment are popular around the world. If I have the supply, I will not worry about the sales, right? Even without your help, many people will be willing to work with us.”
“Mr. Feng, I can tell you have never been involved in this industry. If you want these products to sell well, there must be warzones. It is risky for our representatives to negotiate in these regions.”
“A successful businessman can bring the weapons to the clients in the shortest time. Since you have hired Blackwater Security as your bodyguards, you should know many of them are formerly international mercenaries. Not many people can supply and sell our equipment to these people.”
“Also, you have not realized that China’s products are not common outside because you all have difficulties selling them. This is not in line with what your country’s claim to be a pacifist…”
Sanders continued to persuade Feng Yu confidently. This has nothing to do with whether a country is a pacifist or not. It has to do with the Western countries blocking others from buying equipment from China.
If not, China can become the world’s biggest supplier of ammunition. Their other durable and cheaper products will affect these companies’ profits too.
China has not thought of selling initially, but they realized they could not sell later.
Feng Yu extended his hand to stop Sanders. “Mr. Sanders, I understand what you are thinking. You are saying that we cannot sell our ammunition and equipment without you all, right? If we want to make money, we must work with you.”
“Yes. This will be a win-win situation for us.” Sanders replied proudly.
Feng Yu leans back on the sofa. “Ralph! Send him out!” After knowing what Sanders is trying to say, he doesn’t want to speak to him anymore.
Sanders’ face changed. What’s going on? Their conversation had been going smoothly, and why did Feng Yu change his att.i.tude suddenly?
“Mr. Ralph, what does Mr. Feng mean by this? I still have not talked about the prices.”
Ralph looked at Sanders and shook his head. “Mr. Sanders, our Boss, has never given in to others. You are too overbearing earlier, and I think he will not work with you. You should know about the former World’s Richest Man, Bill Gates, right? He had fallen out with our Boss, and his net worth shrunk after that.”
“I know you are a Senator, but when Bush is running for the Presidency, my Boss said Bush would win. Do you think he doesn’t have friends in the US?”
Sanders had come here proudly but left with disappointment.
That’s right. How can the World’s Richest Man don’t have friends in politics? Is this deal off, and there’s no possibility to work with him? Also, what Ralph said earlier sounded like a threat, and he is very worried.
Feng Yu took out his satellite phone and called Hou Haitao. “Old Hou, I’m Feng Yu.”
“Oh, Manager Feng. Why are you calling a newly retired old man?”
“Hahaha…. I am not calling you to chat. It’s about this…”
After Feng Yu finished, Hou Haitao said. “Manager Feng, even someone like you who is not in this trade knows about this. Do you think the higher-ups will not think of it?”
That’s right. If he can think of this, someone from the higher-ups should have thought about it. Maybe Feng Yu and that Sanders are unaware that someone is already working on it.
Feng Yu laughed. “Seems like I worried for nothing.”
“No. Your information is still very useful to the higher-ups. This means our products had threatened their interest.”
Although Hou Haitao had retired, he had just retired recently. He might not be holding a high rank, but these are not top secret.
Although China does not export lots of military products, they export lots of products under police equipment.
Also, China is currently contacting these sales channels actively. China has not been involved in war for many years, and their obsolete equipment can be sold to other countries.
“Manager Feng, you don’t need to be involved in this.”
