Chapter 354: Chapter 235: Is This Really a Coincidence?
"Five units?"
Lin Chuan's expression changed, as the number had already exceeded his expectations.
Originally, Leo had revealed his interest in the "PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher."
Last night, he and Xinxin had discussed it all night long.
Three units were their basic estimation of Haas Armed Forces' needs and capabilities, offering a substantial discount with the chance of selling four.

Aiming to secure three and possibly sell four was the outcome of their discussion last night.
Never had he imagined that Leo would blurt out "five units"; just the transaction volume for the "PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher" alone had reached twenty-five million US Dollars.
At the current exchange rate of "1:7.2," that was about 180 million yuan.
Adding other weapons, the total order this time could potentially exceed 400 million!
In Lin Chuan's military weapons trading record, the number wasn't huge, but it was definitely a roaring start for the real-world "Anling Toy Factory"!
As soon as Haas Armed Forces paid the deposit, the "Toy Factory" would have its operating funds.
The beginning is the hardest.
Knowing that with the initial operating funds, Lin Chuan was very confident in the subsequent management and development of "Anling Toy Factory."
This book "Arms Tycoon" is his autobiography!
The azure sky bore a unique cloud that blocked the brilliant sunshine, casting a cool shadow over the Baoying Hotel nestled beside a mountain and by a river.
At this moment, Leo still stood in place.
When he caught Lin Chuan's lifted gaze, realizing his own lapse, he laughed and said, "If we go by the price just mentioned, without tacking on any additional fees, we can order five units."
"Of course, there's no problem."
Lin Chuan readily nodded, then changed the subject, "I have one more discount, would you like to hear about it?"
"Another discount?"
Leo was about to sip his orange juice, but upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, he immediately set it down, his deep eyes finally widening in surprise.
Was this arms dealer crazy?
The staff beside him was completely dumbfounded. Following Leo around, he had dealt with over a dozen large and small arms dealers.
Those arms dealers couldn't wait to drive up the price of military hardware.
He had never seen someone like Lin Chuan who aggressively cut the price of military weapons. The buyer had accepted the price, and yet he offered another discount?
What kind of game was this Mr. Lin playing?
"Of course, there's another discount, Mr. Leo. I would very much like to become friends with you," said Lin Chuan sincerely, continuing, "If you refer a friend to buy my weapons and equipment, 10% of their total purchase price, I'll convert it into weapons and gift it to you."
Upon hearing this, Leo immediately fell silent.
This model could often be seen in ordinary business transactions.
But in the arms trade, this was the first time Leo heard of it.
It requires substantial capital, as well as strong technological capabilities.
Because in ordinary business, it's mostly swapping lower price for volume, even at a loss, to quickly capture the market.
The arms trade is different.
The trade of weapons requires an extremely strong ability to control costs, supply chains are secondary, and the most expensive aspect is the development of weapons!
Even a nation seldom has the capacity to adopt a sales strategy like Lin Chuan's.
"Mr. Lin, your..."
Leo paused for a moment, "Do you have a limit on the number of referrals?"
Lin Chuan shook his head, smiling, "As long as they are new customers, there is no limit."
"Good!"
Leo immediately agreed, his face lighting up with joy.
He didn't need to consider for Lin Chuan.
What he cared about more was how to obtain the military weapons they needed with less money.
It could be said.
— Conservatively speaking, Lin Chuan's prices here were 50% of what Morgan Group had offered.
For Haas Armed Forces, as long as there were no issues with the weapons, obtaining them meant a win!
Buy, buy, buy!
Lin Chuan and Leo exchanged smiles.
"I've never encountered an arms dealer as straightforward as you."
Leo generously complimented.
"Among the clients I have met, you belong to the very straightforward category, which I really appreciate in a partnership," Lin Chuan returned the compliment.
"Mr. Lin, aside from this 'PHL-191 Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher,'" Leo pointed to the order document, "our brothers are waiting to use the other weapons."
"No problem," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Afterward, the two continued to discuss the prices and quantities of the remaining weapons.
Lin Chuan offered ample discounts.
Leo was all smiles, feeling more and more that he had made the right trip!
Of course.
Realistically, closing a 400 million yuan military weapons order in one day was impossible; there were many other details to be ironed out.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan was generous with discounts, and Leo made many concessions on some of the details.
The preliminary negotiations went smoothly for both sides.
In the evening, Lin Chuan dined with Leo and others before leaving the Baoying Hotel.
From sunny to dusk, with streetlights kindling and the city of Anling twinkling with lights, Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady sat in the company's car and returned to Falcon Technology Co., Ltd.
For convenience, Lin Chuan had placed this newly opened company just above the 720 Company.
—Zhongcheng Building, Floor 17.
"Chairman, I didn't understand a word of the gibberish you were talking about today."
Xinxin had a tough day.
Throughout the entire negotiation, Lin Chuan and Leo communicated in Arabic, and she didn't understand a word, simply watching their expressions and body language to assess the amicable state of cooperation.
