Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Lao Cui thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any American goods? What's the price?"

Zhang Yunhe said: "Yes, but the American products are few and the production is not high. The performance is not better than the German products, but the price is not cheap either."

"Why? Logically speaking, the performance of American products is not as good as that of German products, so the price should be much lower!" Lao Cui asked in confusion.

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "Old Cui, you may not understand the significant cost reductions brought about by industrialized mass production! The more we produce and use a product, the more we'll learn about its strengths and weaknesses. Then, manufacturers will optimize product performance, production processes, and technology based on user feedback!"

"This way, the product will get better and better, and the production cost will be lower and lower! Don't you agree?"

This principle is easy to understand, and Lao Cui nodded.

Zhang Yunhe continued, "Look, starting from World War I twenty years ago, how many countries have the Germans fought? And how long did the fighting last? And the Americans only intervened at the end of the war!"

"This time, the Germans are fighting Britain and France again. Their weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment are being churned out in endless streams from military factories. Take military radios, for example. They're almost equipped to every company-level combat unit. A single radio might be destroyed before the end of World War I, so their factories are practically non-stop producing radios!"

"And what about the Americans? They don't have many standing troops in their country right now. They don't even have a few mortars in their army, and their military radios are still many years old. Because they don't fight wars, their military equipment is rarely updated! Even if it was updated, it would be impossible to equip the entire army in time."

"Only a small number of new military radios have been produced so far, but quite a few civilian radios have been produced. Of course, we don't usually call them civilian radios, but commercial radios. American commercial radios are quite good in terms of performance. They may not be as technically advanced as those in Europe, but they're not much worse. And they're cheap. With more production, costs are lower, so the retail price will naturally be cheaper. That's the logic!"

"A basic civilian radio in the US now only costs about 3500 yuan. I'm talking French currency. The higher the power, the higher the price! Military and civilian radios each have their advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on your choice!"

Zhang Yunhe stopped to take a puff of his cigarette and didn't continue talking.

Lao Cui pondered this for a moment, then asked, "Aside from military and commercial use, are there any other radios available? And how much do they cost?"

Zhang Yunhe laughed when he heard it. He looked at Lao Cui with a strange look and said with a smile: "There is another kind of radio, which is a radio specially used by intelligence personnel!"

"It has distinct differences from military and commercial radios, the most notable being its low power and compact size! Low power means it's easily overlooked, and the transmitted radio waves aren't easily detected by counterintelligence equipment. Its small size also means it's easy to carry and conceal, making it highly discreet!"

"I have three types of spy radios here. One is made in the US, one is made in Japan, and the other two are made in Britain and Germany respectively. They're not cheap!"

Having said that, Zhang Yunhe took out three lists from his briefcase and handed them to Lao Cui. They were sales lists for military, commercial and intelligence-specific radio stations.

Lao Cui took the list, put on his glasses, and began to carefully read it. He looked at the military ones, then the commercial ones, and finally the sales list for the spy radio. He looked up and said, "The price of the spy radio is so high? It's almost twice as much as the commercial ones."

Zhang Yunhe smiled and said, "Old Cui, I believe you may have purchased a radio like this before. Specialized spy radios are all produced and used by each country. They are basically not sold to the outside world because they contain a lot of high-end technology. Occasionally, they are sold on the black market. They are either confiscated or secretly made by internal personnel to make money!"

"So the price is definitely not going to be low. If you think spy radios are too expensive, you can choose military or commercial ones. These radios are produced in large quantities and have models for export, so they're much cheaper."

Lao Cui looked at the list again, thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Yunhe, "Mr. Cao, I came here with sincerity. Can you lower the price a little?"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Lao Cui, this is our first time doing business. I can lower the price a little, just to make friends, but you can't let me do a business at a loss, right? Let me quote you a price. If you think it's feasible, we can take a look at the samples first. If you're satisfied, we can do the deal. If you still think the price is too high, you can look elsewhere and compare prices!"

"Business is all about mutual consent, right?"

Lao Cui held out his hand: "Okay, then please give me a quote, Mr. Cao!"

Zhang Yunhe took the three lists and took out a pen from his pocket to mark the price behind the name of each model of radio.

"Lao Cao, take a look here. This is my quotation. I am a business person who values ​​integrity and only makes the profit I deserve, because excessive profits cannot last long! If you think it is suitable, we can make an appointment to see the samples. If you think it is not suitable, forget it. Even if the deal fails, there is still friendship. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me again!" Zhang Yunhe said and handed over the quotation.

Lao Cui took the quotation sheet and looked at it carefully one by one. After looking at the price of each model of radio, he felt that the price was relatively reasonable, at least lower than the radios they bought from other channels.

He immediately took a pen from his pocket and wrote down the purchase quantity behind the name of the radio station in the photo and the marked price. Then he handed the quotation to Zhang Yunhe and said, "I think this price is suitable. Here are the models and quantities I want to purchase. When do you want to see the samples?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "Starting tomorrow, I'll be available anytime within three days. It all depends on how you arrange your time!"

Lao Cui thought for a moment and said, "How about tomorrow afternoon at three? You choose the location!"

"Okay, the location is Pier No. 3 in the French Concession. I'll wait for you at the door of Warehouse No. 10! But I have to make it clear in advance that after the transaction, I will not be responsible for delivery. You have to handle the transportation yourself!" Zhang Yunhe said.

Lao Cui asked, "It was Mr. Zhang who introduced this business to you, right? We've already made an agreement with Mr. Zhang. He will arrange the transportation and deliver it to our designated location. Could you please contact Mr. Zhang?"

"Oh? Since you two have already agreed on the shipping, then it's easy. After you see the samples and you're satisfied, just pay me the money. You can take the goods away and give them to Brother Yunhe, or I can deliver them directly to him!"
