Siheyuan: took over the rolling mill and exported gas tanks

Chapter 63 Broken water pipe, sixty dollars knife one meter? Grab the money, I bought it!!

The officers immediately understood the special feature of this water pipe, and immediately a person who reacted faster stood up.

“This comrade, I want to buy these water pipes, you can set a price.”

The officer was as dark as the others, only with larger muscles.

“What do you want to buy this water pipe for?”

Su Chen asked.

Of course, he knows the other party’s intentions, but this process still has to be walked.

“It is very difficult for our national people to use water, and the purchase of water pipes is to improve the national water problem.”

Where the Black Continent is mostly arid areas, how can it be necessary to lay so many water pipes?

But this is just an excuse, everyone here knows it.

The officer bought the water pipe back in order to take it back and use it as a gun barrel.

For people who are not exposed to firearms or are not familiar with firearms, they simply do not understand how difficult it is to produce such a seamless steel pipe with rifling.

Su Chen really knew this, and when he saw the seamless steel pipe, he immediately thought of this good idea.

As Su Chen expected, after these officers learned the secret of the seamless steel pipe, they were all very excited.

Other parts of a gun are easy to solve, even if it is assembled or directly used inferior parts from other countries, but only the barrel is a thing that cannot be done, otherwise there will be a danger of blowing up.

Therefore, Su Chen’s seamless steel pipe will be welcomed by so many people.

He will bring the seamless steel pipe thousands of miles to Yangcheng to participate in the military exhibition.

“This ordinary water pipe is forty US dollars one meter, seamless steel pipe is fifty US dollars one meter, and internal rifling is sixty US dollars one meter.”

Su Chen waved his hand and gave a quotation.

His offer was much cheaper than a weapon with a five-hundred-dollar knife.

But it still seems a bit expensive.

As soon as his quotation came out, it immediately caused an uproar at the scene

The person in charge of the exhibition gasped when he heard the seamless steel pipe rifling of sixty US dollars and one meter.

Is this money so easy to earn?

You know, although other weapons lag behind, they are not much more expensive than steel pipes.

If it were him, he wouldn’t buy this water pipe.

As for the others, they were also shocked to hear this offer, and the officers already understood what this water pipe meant.

But the expensive offer put them off.

It’s just a barrel, not a complete weapon.

Buying it back is not immediately available.

People who were interested in buying began to hesitate after hearing Su Chen’s offer.

If you buy it for so much money, the cost of a gun will cost more than a hundred dollars when the other parts are reassembled.

For such a poor region as the Black Continent, a hundred dollars is a very terrifying thing.

Therefore, Su Chen’s offer made many people retreat.

“Let’s take a look at the other weapons, although a little backward, but also better than the stick.”

“Sixty US dollars of a barrel of one meter, with other parts, if you count it, it can exceed two hundred US dollars, forget it.”

Several people muttered and decisively abandoned the bid.

Their country did not have the financial resources to support them to buy such expensive barrels.

However, there were other officers who were still hesitating, and the officer led by Su Chen who directly inquired about the price was from Ethiopia.

He really desperately needs a powerful set of weapons to stabilize their country.

The seamless steel pipe production like Su Chen is very perfect, no matter what weapon it is installed on, it will greatly reduce the risk of blowing up.

On the one hand, it can keep the soldier alive, and on the other hand, it can also greatly protect the weapon.

The Ethiopian officer was already a little moved in his heart, but Su Chen’s high offer still made him feel troubled.

After all, although he can get this money, he still feels that it is too expensive.

For small countries, every amount of money is best spent on a knife’s edge.

The Ethiopian officer hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to say to Su Chen.

“The price of sixty dollars a meter is too expensive, can you be cheaper” His haggling was a bit like buying and selling in the vegetable market.

Su Chen saw that the rank on his shoulder seemed to be very powerful, but he didn’t know the specific identity of the other party, so he was a little hesitant and didn’t know how to answer.

“He is an officer of the Ethiopian country, his status is not low, except for the general of their country, it is his highest rank.”

The interpreter took the initiative to introduce the identity of the Ethiopian officer to Su Chen on the side.

Hearing his introduction, Su Chen was a little stunned.

Ethiopia is a country that he still knows.

Now the name of the country is unknown, and even if you take out the name, few people will have heard of it.

Even people with the best geography only know that this country may be a small country on the black continent.

It is not clear to people that this country will be called the country most like their own country in the Black Continent in the future.

After knowing the identity of the other party, Su Chen also had some plans in his heart.

People from other countries may just be buzzing and have some hearts for his water pipe.

After all, what they get is not a weapon that will be scrapped at any time, but a barrel with great processing potential.

But in terms of their country’s financial strength, most of them would not give Su Chen a high price.

Even if people in these countries are impressed, the officers will not buy it.

But Ethiopian officers are not necessarily.

Their country is now in its most turbulent phase.

State assistance to them is also ongoing.

Ethiopia is about to complete its transformation in the near future.

As an ally, it is also a good thing that Ethiopia wants to become stronger.

Can take Eagle Sauce’s attention away a bit.

Not only that, Ethiopia is also a small country with the same national policy as its own.

If Su Chen’s batch of barrels can help them get a foothold in Ethiopia faster.

It is also much easier to sell weapons later.

Therefore, Su Chen expected that this Ethiopian officer had a great desire to buy.

But that doesn’t mean he’ll cut the price.

Due to the problems of process and production, the cost of seamless steel pipes has indeed risen a lot compared with gas tanks.

That’s why Su Chen quoted such a high offer.

After all, you must know that a meter of seamless steel pipe and a huge gas tank will use much less material.

However, the price of seamless steel pipes has not opened a big gap with gas tanks.

The Ethiopian officer looked at Su Chen sincerely, he really wanted seamless steel pipes, this money was still very painful for their country.

Su Chen pondered for a moment and decided to follow the original quotation.

“It’s not that I don’t want to sell it cheaper, but the seamless steel pipe production process is really complicated.”

“You also know that if it is an ordinary steel pipe, there will be many welding marks on it, which will cause bursting when used.”

“To produce seamless steel pipes, more expensive lathes and higher scrap rates are required.”

“Just to produce one useful seamless steel pipe, at least six would have to be scrapped.”

Su Chen’s mouth was blind, he knew that the production cost was indeed quite high, but it was not so high.

If he didn’t say so, how could Su Chen sell it at a high price? So he decisively continued to lie.

“Because the production is too difficult, the cost of this steel pipe cannot be reduced.”

When Su Chen said this, the face of the Ethiopian officer was suddenly full of loss

Since Su Chen said so, the price could not be suppressed, and the Ethiopian officers could only give up in pain.

However, how could Su Chen easily let the fat sheep in hand leave.

He sensed that the officer had the intention of leaving, and hurriedly said the next words.

“But as long as you buy these water pipes, you can increase Ethiopia’s firearms production capacity and even set up a military factory.”

Su Chen’s words were not untargeted, but he guessed the officer’s thoughts, and wanted to rely on these words to make the other party’s heart move.

As soon as he said this, the officers of Ethiopia instantly fell into a state of imagination

If they really bought all the water pipes in the country, their country could start assembling firearms.

And the strength of the weapons they assemble is still very high, and with this barrel, the armed capabilities of their entire army have also reached a higher level.

Countries that always provoke them on the side, as well as rebellions at home, can be resolved.

Ethiopia no longer needs to be mired in war.

Although there are still many problems to be solved, with powerful weapons, these problems will be solved very easily.

Thinking of such a bright future, the Ethiopian officers began to tilt the scales in their hearts

If you really buy this batch of seamless steel pipes, although the price is a little high, it is not completely unaffordable.

Take this opportunity to replace the armed capabilities of the entire army.

By that time, other countries on the Black Continent would be unable to resist their Ethiopian armies.

Thinking of this, the ambition in the hearts of Ethiopian officers also swelled.

He seemed to have no reason not to buy it.

Just when the officer fell into his imagination, of course Su Chen knew that what he said was pure nonsense.

Without the ability to produce precision parts, the so-called military factory is just an assembly plant.

It is enough to know that the production of a firearm is not assembled.

If weapons are produced by assembly alone, then all countries in the world have the ability to produce weapons on their own.

However, almost all countries in the world produce weapons from a few superpowers.

It is not that other countries do not want to produce weapons, but they do not have this ability, precision parts production capacity requires a complete system of heavy industry.

No matter what is missing, it is impossible to produce a qualified firearm.

Not only the big head like the barrel, even those triggers or the pull bolt on the gun body are the embodiment of heavy industry.

This is not to say that assembling weapons cannot be considered production.

It’s just that you will take your lifeblood into the hands of others.

Once this military factory loses the delivery of spare parts, it is an abandoned factory.

Once other countries no longer supply spare parts, factories that cannot produce usable parts will not be able to assemble weapons at all.

Even with more spare parts, without critical components, the military factory cannot function.

Such a military factory does not differ from scrap.

Su Chen knew all this very well, it was impossible to have such a heavy industry system on the mainland.

So what he painted for the officer was a pie of nothingness.

However, the officers did not have such a deep understanding of weapon manufacturing as Su Chen.

His knowledge on the Black Continent made him only understand that weapons could be produced from factories.

The officer only knew that it was very difficult to produce weapons, and as to the extent of this difficulty, he was blinded.

It was also such a wrong perception that made the officer completely moved by Su Chen.

Su Chen sold the seamless steel pipe to the Ethiopian officers, which is to hold the lifeblood of their country in his hands.

However, the officer did not realize this at all, but only thought for a moment, nodded at the thought of such a beautiful vision of the future.

“Since your cost is so high, if the price cannot be lower, then buy it according to the current price.”

The officer gritted his teeth and agreed to Su Chen’s offer.

That’s sixty dollars a meter!

Not to mention the current era, even the future Ethiopian country, for them, a weapon accessory for sixty US dollars, is a very expensive thing.

Su Chen saw the other party’s painful appearance, but his heart blossomed.

As he expected, the seamless steel pipe could be sold.

Su Chen already had an idea when he saw the seamless steel pipe.

It’s just that this military exhibition just happened to coincide.

If the military exhibition is not held, Su Chen also intends to sell these to the camel country.

Judging by the current situation in the world, there is no country that does not need weapons.

The shadow of Eagle Sauce hangs over the whole world, and whenever they want to get rid of Eagle Sauce, other countries will strive to produce weapons.

Therefore, Su Chen was not worried at all that the products he produced would not be sold.

Steel pipes are just scrap products in their factories, a batch has already been produced, and it is not difficult to transform and add a rifling.

Not long ago, Su Chen also asked the skilled workers in the factory to process the rifling for him to see.

As a former fitter, Su Chen can also see that this gold content is indeed not high.

It’s just that the lathe required to produce seamless steel pipes is more expensive.

For the Black Continent, there are very few workers as powerful as Su Chen’s rolling mill.

In China, it is very simple to process rifling, but it is very difficult to reach the black continent.

So even if they don’t want to pay the money, it’s impossible.

The cost price of producing seamless steel pipes is not high.

And Su Chen priced it down like this, and he could earn sixty US dollars with one hand.

Red Star Rolling Mill is once again making hemp!

“Are you sure you buy it?”

Su Chen asked again.

Since the officer was already planning to buy it, he was not ready to retreat, and said through gritted teeth.

“Sixty US swords and one meter, I want it!”

Of course, they can’t just buy one meter, it’s just a single offer.

Seeing this, Su Chen took the prepared contract to the table.

“Since you want it, let’s sign it.”
