Chapter 280 How Much Money Does Each Veyron Sell?

Brigadier Wu felt a little uneasy.

Looking into the distance with the binoculars, he said, "Old Yuan, where do you think this Veyron is?"

There was no response from the radar, and no trace of this Veyron was found, but judging from the time, it should have arrived nearby. Even if the radar was fully activated and the mid- and low-altitude air defense firepower was carefully deployed, Brigadier Wu was still uneasy.

Chief of Staff Yuan obviously understood Brigadier Wu's worry, and comforted him, "There should be no problem, even a fly can't get close to us."

Hope so.

At this time, the Veyron helicopter was flying close to the valley, and its height was only tens of meters, not even 50 meters.

There is only one feeling in Zhu Guangzu's heart, and that is cool!

Even in a valley with complex terrain, the Veyron's driving performance is really excellent, and it is easy to drive it. Even if the speed is faster and the height is lower, he does not feel that there is a problem.

Looking at his position, Zhu Guangzu felt that it was almost the same, "Old Liu, get ready to work!"

After finishing speaking, he operated the Veyron to rise up from behind a hill. First, a part of the rotor was exposed from behind the hill. As for the radar at the top of the rotor was completely exposed, he began to scan a radius of 20 kilometers.

In addition to excellent driving performance and maneuverability, the advanced fire control radar is also one of the biggest features of the Veyron gunship.

It can cover a range of more than 20 kilometers, and scan once every 6 seconds, can determine, distinguish and display up to 512 targets at the same time, and screen out 32 primary targets to send to the combat computer.

Liu Zhisong was pleasantly surprised to find that at least 20 targets were found within a radius of 100 kilometers, and the fire control radar quickly screened out a total of 17 targets and sent them to the combat computer.

These 17 were quickly locked by the combat computer, and all Liu Zhisong had to do was press the missile launch button.

"Old Zhu, the target is locked, the missile is ready to launch!"

Zhu Guangzu drove the Veyron up a few more meters. At this time, the Veyron was completely exposed from the back of the hill, revealing its majesty.

Missile launch!

Missiles roared out one after another, and went straight to the target more than ten kilometers away. A total of 17 air-to-ground anti-tank missiles were launched within a few seconds, and they went straight to the target.

After the missile is launched, the radar does not need to continue to illuminate the target. This air-to-ground missile can automatically lock the target, and its anti-jamming and reliability are very high.

The missiles were launched in one go, one for each armored target, and the Veyron left quickly, leaving it alone after launch, which is one of the characteristics of the Veyron gunship, and everything that follows is left to the missiles themselves.

The whole process from the appearance of Veyron to finding the target, locking on to the target, and leaving after launching the missile is only a dozen seconds, almost just a few breaths, as if it had never appeared here before.

On the top of a mountain more than ten kilometers away.

Brigadier Wu is still looking at the situation tens of kilometers away with a telescope. The "armored force" composed of tanks and armored vehicles is driving quickly along the rugged terrain, and some tanks or armored vehicles are deliberately making snake-like maneuvers.

suddenly!

His face changed greatly!
Not only him, many people in the armored brigade saw this astonishing scene. At least a dozen missiles roared towards the "armored force" in the distance!

Everything happened so fast!
"Boom, boom, boom"

There was a violent explosion, and it stopped in just three to five seconds. Everything came and went quickly.

The "armored force" in the distance has been wrecked all over the place. Not a single tank or armored vehicle is intact, emitting black smoke, or simply burning.

Immediately, Brigadier Wu's expression became extremely ugly!
"what happened!"

"What's going on!"

When many people in those big tents ran out, everything had returned to calm, only the piles of black smoke or burning wreckage a few kilometers away.

"Oh my god, it's unbelievable!"

"Where is that Veyron gunship, where is our air defense battalion, what are they doing!"

"There has been no abnormality on the radar!"

"It only takes three to five seconds. How did this Veyron do it? Can it lock and aim at more than a dozen targets at the same time!"

"."

There was a lot of noise around Brigadier Commander Wu. Whether it was the commanders or ordinary soldiers, they were all at a loss. Everything happened too fast, which completely overturned their traditional cognition.

After a long time, Brigadier Wu waved and said, "Come on, get in the car, let's go over and have a look."

Several military off-road vehicles left here, and arrived at the "battlefield" not long after, and saw the scene here. Every tank and every armored vehicle was completely destroyed, and no one was spared.

"What kind of missile is this? It's too powerful. This is the former main station tank, and it looks like this!"

"This hit rate is too high!"

"."

Although there were all kinds of shocked voices in their ears, Brigadier Wu and the others didn't say a word, and they lost face. If it was on the battlefield, it would be annihilated. They didn't even find the enemy's shadow, and then they died collectively.

Experts look at the doorway. After Brigadier Wu and others looked around, the shock in their hearts was even stronger, because the power of this missile is too great, and its accuracy is amazing. There are 17 targets in total, and Veyron should have only fired 17. missiles.

One missile, one target, [-]% hit rate!
This hit rate is simply unheard of. Brigadier Wu knew that during the Gulf War, the Longbow Apache fired thousands of anti-tank missiles, and the hit rate was only about [-]%. so high!

The sound of helicopters came from a distance, and a total of three helicopters flew over in the shape of a character, two Tianlongs, and the other was the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter that fired 17 missiles in one breath just now.

The helicopter landed, and many people came down from above, including leaders, people from the Army Aviation Regiment, and some wearing the work clothes of Leihuo Technology and Industry Group. They were obviously technicians of Leihuo Technology and Industry Group.

Veyron conducts various verifications in the field, and each Veyron will be followed by several technicians, who collect verification data, conduct analysis and conclusions, etc.

Captain Li of the Army Aviation Regiment walked over with a smile, and said loudly, "Old Wu, it's not a good feeling. The performance of this Veyron is completely beyond your expectations."

At this time, Brigadier Wu was completely convinced, "It's really a lot of taste, but fortunately it's not an actual battle, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out."

Captain Li smiled happily again, and said with great satisfaction, "The Veyron gunship is indeed too brutal."

Brigadier Wu fully agrees with this point, "It is indeed too fierce. A dozen missiles are launched in three to five seconds, and they leave after shooting. It is simply not ordinary."

Seeing Zhu Guangzu and Wu Zhisong getting off the Veyron, Brigadier Wu asked in puzzlement, "Where are you at? Why didn't our radar find you?"

Zhu Guangzu spread out a map and explained, "We have been flying close to the ground since we left the base, completely avoiding the radar blind spot, and have been flying to this position."

"This is a mountainous area. You guys are so brave. What if something goes wrong?"

Zhu Guangzu said confidently, "The Veyron's driving performance is very good. It can handle such terrain with ease, and it can handle it with ease."

"We flew along the valley at a low altitude, always in the blind spot of the radar. After arriving at this position, the helicopter ascended from the valley, fired the missile at the top of the hill, and left quickly. Even if you can find us, there is no way."

That's it!

Brigadier Wu understood what was going on.

Someone next to me was still puzzled and asked, "There are 17 targets in total. How did you launch 17 missiles in one go and hit the target [-]% of the time?"

"That's right, how did you do it? The key location is more than ten kilometers away. The distance is not ordinary!"

Liu Zhisong said proudly, "I have to mention the powerful and advanced fire control system of the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter. It not only has a large scanning radius, but also has a high degree of intelligence. It can quickly identify and lock the target. The radar launch button does the trick."

He talked about Veyron's fire control system, especially emphasizing the powerful and advanced fire control radar.

There was a staggering sound all around!

Veyron's fire control system is so powerful!
No wonder it is called the most powerful and advanced gunship in the world.Chief of Staff Yuan even lamented that the Veyron helicopter gunship is so powerful, so is there any need for the armored force to exist.

No matter how powerful and advanced an armored force is, it is a scumbag in front of it. Such an armed helicopter is simply a nightmare for ground troops!

Leihuo Technology Industry Group.

The last Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter on the assembly line successfully rolled off the assembly line. So far, a total of six prototypes have all rolled off the assembly line, and the first five have already undergone a series of verifications in the field.

Their outstanding performance also spread to Lin Feng's ears. What's more exaggerated is that some people lacked confidence in the ground armored forces, and some armored force commanders jokingly said that they wanted to become officers of the Army Aviation Corps.

Veyron is powerful, that's normal!

The sixth Veyron prototype was successfully rolled off the production line. After inspection, it also left Leihuo Industrial Group and began to go to a certain base to conduct a series of field verifications.

Lin Feng went to Leihuo Helicopter Company in person and watched the prototype of the Veyron roll off the production line. After returning to his office, he thought to himself, a total of six prototypes of the Veyron will be separately tested in the field for each project, and they will be completed before June After all verifications, there should be no problem entering mass production around July or August.

However, the user has not yet placed an order, but Xie Kangquan has already said that the above is considering matters related to ordering the Veyron armed helicopter, and the first order for the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter should be a recent thing.

He also asked, after entering mass production, how much is the price of each Veyron!

Lin Feng also began to think about this issue.

The financial department started cost calculations early on. The six prototypes have already been manufactured, and the related costs should be calculated soon.

How much does each Veyron heavy gunship cost?

In fact, there is no need for the finance department to make calculations. Lin Feng already knew it in his heart, because this is a heavy-duty armed helicopter designed by the system. It not only has world-leading performance, but also fully considers the manufacturing process and cost.

Because the system has fully considered the cost, the manufacturing cost of Veyron is not as high as everyone imagined.

The more advanced the aircraft, the higher the cost, which seems to be an iron law in the aviation industry.For example, the F22 is advanced enough, but the cost can discourage many people, reaching 1.5 million US dollars each. Even in a beautiful country with strong financial resources, the number of equipment is only 180+.

The B2 stealth bomber is advanced enough, and the cost has reached a terrifying 24 billion US dollars, not including tens of billions of dollars in research and development costs. The beautiful country only equipped 21 aircraft, and then fell two, leaving only 19 aircraft. That's all.

Veyron is currently the top gunship in the world. Its excellent performance, powerful firepower, etc. are being reflected one by one as the verification project proceeds. How much will its cost be?

It should be expensive, many people think so, but it is not expensive at all.This is another defying feature of the system, which completely violates common sense, with excellent performance and world-leading, but the price is not expensive.

The cost given by the system is only about 6500 million each, equivalent to less than 800 million U.S. dollars, which can be regarded as very cheap.

Why the cost is so cheap? In addition to the fact that it is designed by the system and fully considers the cost, it also has a certain relationship with the current situation in China. Everything in China is cheap, labor is cheap, water and electricity are cheap, and even materials are cheap.

Although he knew that the cost of the Veyron heavy-duty was about 6500 million, Lin Feng still wanted to have a look at the cost calculation of the financial department.

A few days later.

The Minister of Finance sent the Veyron's construction cost calculation to Lin Feng's desk, and Lin Feng immediately took the calculation and looked at it.

The calculation is very detailed, and all costs are included. The cost of each Veyron is about 7200 million yuan, which is slightly higher than the system.

This is normal, and there is no mass production yet. Liang Yuenan and the others used these six Veyron prototypes as the object of cost calculation.

After understanding the cost of the Veyron, Lin Feng thought to himself, what is the price of our Veyron?
It is definitely not possible to be in line with international standards, because Veyron's users are the domestic military, and the actual national conditions must be considered.

For this reason, Lin Feng also specially investigated the selling price of the longbow Apache. In January 1984, the first production AH-1A was officially delivered to the troops. The total cost of the aircraft reached 64 million US dollars, not including weapons and equipment.

After entering mass production, the cost has dropped to a certain extent. The price of each longbow Apache sold to the military of the beautiful country is about 1600 million US dollars, excluding weapons.

Lin Feng recalled that a few years later, the total value of an AH-64A Apache with complete weapons and equipment, including the aircraft itself and weapons and equipment, may be around 2200 to 2500 million US dollars.

This is the price sold to the military of the beautiful country, and the price in the international market is even higher.

In later generations, although the price of each batch of Apache is different, the price of the latest "Longbow Apache" is between US$3500 million and US$4500 million, depending of course on who bought it, AH-64D The most expensive price is more than 4500 million U.S. dollars. If Wanwan buys it, it is estimated that the AH-64A will sell him more than 5000 million U.S. dollars, not including follow-up equipment.

"The price of our Tianlong to the military is 9800 million, so can our Veyron be sold for 1 million? If not, we can sell it for 5000 million."

After reading the cost calculation sent by Liang Yuenan, Lin Feng sat on the office chair and thought a lot. The price of each Veyron is about 1 million. If it can be sold for 3000 million, that would be even better. up.

Even if it is only sold for 1 million, there will be a very rich profit, because its cost is only 3000 million, and there is almost a 6500% profit.

Of course, this does not include armed equipment and future follow-up equipment.

A few days later, Xie Kangquan went to Leihuo Technology Industry Group again.

The main purpose of coming here this time is to inquire about the price. Before the military sets the price, we must fully respect the manufacturer and inquire about the price of each Veyron. Veyron thought about how much it would sell for.

When Xie Kangquan and his group arrived at Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, they did not visit the production site first, but sat in the reception room and chatted about the price of the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter.

"Mr. Lin, the higher-ups have decided to order the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter, but the specific quantity has not yet been determined. Everything needs to be decided based on the selling price."

This is easy to understand. If the price is expensive, the order quantity will be relatively small. After all, the military expenditure is so much. If the price is better, the order quantity will be higher.

"Mr. Lin, what we want to know most now is the price of each Veyron."

If it is another aviation company, Xie Kangquan and the others will not only make an inquiry, but also review a large amount of financial data of the company, including manufacturing costs, but they have made changes here at Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

Adhering to the principle of fully respecting Leihuo Technology Industrial Group, we did not ask to review these things, but directly made an inquiry.

Lin Feng didn't answer right away, but said, "Director Xie, how much do you want each Veyron to sell for?"

Xie Kangquan replied with a smile, "Of course, the cheaper the better, the best is that the price is basically the same as the longbow Apache, then we are satisfied."

Lin Feng said, "What is the price of the Longbow Apache to the military of the beautiful country?"

Xie Kangquan said, "According to the information we have, the price of the Longbow Apache to the military of the beautiful country is about 1550 million US dollars each, which is equivalent to about 1 million soft sister coins."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Director Xie, but our Veyron is much better than the Longbow Apache. Its performance surpasses that of the Longbow Apache. Even its maximum take-off weight is several tons higher. It is truly the world's top level."

Xie Kangquan finally admitted this, nodded and said, "Yes, our Veyron heavy-duty gunship is indeed good, and a series of verifications in the field have fully proved this point."

In fact, he was a little bit drummed in his heart, saying in his heart, the price must not be too expensive, it must be within the price range in our hearts, otherwise it will be troublesome.

It's another [-] updates, asking the big guys for monthly tickets. The more monthly tickets you buy, the cheaper Veyron's price will be for the military.
