Chris knows that the reason why DME values ​​the F150 so much is entirely because of the car’s sales miracle in the North American market and its excellent performance.

If the sales rights of this car can be obtained, selling it to those armed forces will definitely create huge profits.

But he also knows what it means to DME if the new model in front of him, named "Freedom Fighter", can maintain such durability after mass production.

The performance of the F150 is good, but whether it can reach the height of this car in terms of durability is hard to say.

"Mr. Li, may I ask, has the cost of this car been calculated now?"

Li Fanyu smiled coquettishly, "Of course!"

Based on the trial production model, the total cost of the Freedom Fighter's body part is about 20,000, the engine and gearbox are about 30,000, and the remaining electrical accessories assembly cost is about 25,000. The core component freight, various taxes, assembly labor, etc. all add up to only 5,000.

After accounting, the cost is about 80,000 yuan.

However, this is only a trial run. If it enters the mass production line operation and the core components are transported in batches, the cost will be reduced by about 15%.

So if there are no big surprises, the cost should be less than 70,000 yuan. Converted to Egyptian pounds, that's a little over 180,000. If calculated according to the normal markup rate of 30%, the selling price in the Egyptian market is about 250,000 Egyptian pounds, equivalent to more than 90,000 yuan in RMB.

But the price is so cheap!

You must know that the freedom fighters, whether in terms of positioning, purpose, structure, or even name, are all designed based on the armed forces that Chris mentioned before. Those guys are out-and-out financiers!

These forces rely on separatist localities to levy and expropriate, and they have accumulated considerable wealth in their hands.

And even if Li Fanyu has never been exposed to this dark part of the world, he also knows that behind these forces, there will definitely be a few international big shots involved.

The forces that can fight a war are not ordinary things.

What is modern warfare fought about? Except for human lives, everything has to be paid for with money. Even a low-intensity modern war is very expensive!

Li Fanyu didn’t know how huge it was. But let’s not talk about the distant Gulf and Iran and Iraq, let’s talk about Syria in the past two years; less than three years of frontal combat, let alone air force missiles and the like, and consumed nearly 200,000 tons of light weapons and ammunition alone.

Twenty thousand tons!

Just to support the Syrian government in its fight against the opposition, arsenals in Eastern European countries worked overtime for three or four years, running production at full capacity.

In this regard, it must be said that Syria previously adopted a continental army doctrine, paying special attention to army firepower. You must know that Syria has been preparing for war for a long time, ready to fight the Jewish army at any time, and has also reserved a lot of ammunition.

It is said that the war lasted until 2015. Except for the ammunition supported by Eastern European countries, hundreds of large arms depots in Syria were exhausted. As for the consumption of light weapons, it is estimated that more than 20 billion will be spent in the past two to three years.

Dollars!

If you think Syria is hitting too hard, you are wrong.

In the eyes of military strategists, this consumption can only be described as a low- to medium-intensity war.

For a real war, take the Soviet Patriotic War as an example. In four years, the Soviet army captured 420 million artillery shells, 17 billion rounds of ammunition, 121 million grenades, and more than 3 million tons of aerial bombs against the Germans.

This is a result of fighting. The loss of tanks, aircraft, cannons, machine guns and rifles, and the medical costs of the wounded are a huge expense.

Taking all these into account, how crazy would you say the war was?

Even if the level of struggle between these forces in Africa is one-tenth that of Syria, even if it is one-fiftieth, it will still be a big market for Li Fanyu!

So in Li Fanyu's eyes, anyone who has the courage and strength to fight is a real rich man. Those in Dubai who have nothing better to do than lead an eagle, sneak a leopard, play with a sports car and buy a cruise ship are all barren and weak!

Selling such a solid pickup truck as that of the freedom fighters to those wealthy people (really), how can one be worthy of themselves and the suffering African people if they don’t earn twice as much?

So when faced with Chris's inquiry, he was heartbroken and directly gave an offer of 110,000.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the quotation, Chris' glasses flashed, "Mr. Li, please come to Cairo with me today and let's talk about the agency sales rights of this car!"

Seeing this guy's expression, Li Fanyu knew that he had underestimated the profits here.

"Not going."

"WHY?!"

Li Fanyu has been waiting for this moment for almost half a month. Seeing Chris's confused face, he curled his lips and said, "Chris, our company's product line is really too single."

"No, no, no! My best friend! You now have two models. Needless to say, Hongguang has proven itself with sales. Now you have developed a pickup truck with such high durability, product line It’s rich enough!”

"That won't work either, there are only two models. Chris, your company's resources are limited,"

"Um...Dear Mr. Li! I solemnly apologize to you, please give me another chance! No matter what conditions you have, I promise you! As long as you come back with me, I will Immediately instruct the sales and service outlets under DME to carry out publicity and promotion for Hongguang at the beginning of its launch! All expenses incurred in this regard will be borne by us! ”

Li Fan gave a silly smile and said, "No...you guys have been so happy cooperating with Daewoo. If you allocate resources to me, how much will it hurt the relationship between your two companies?"

Chris almost cried...

Now he regrets his previous decision so much that he is a little green in the gut. How come he... was confused for a moment and did not continue to have a good relationship with the old man in front of him!

"Mr. Li, on behalf of myself and DME for what I have done before, I would like to express my most sincere apology to you! Mr. Li, I hope you will not dwell on the previous misunderstandings and grudges. Please be sure to put this The sales rights of the medium-sized pickup truck are handed over to DME, and we will use the best resources and sincerity to sell this model! ”

Li Fanyu chuckled, "Don't you think my product line is too single?"

Chris shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no!"

"Don't you think it's a waste of your resources?"

"What's wrong!"

"Okay, I'll go with you. I've made a deal with you. If the conditions are not good, I have to agree."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, even if it's just because of the friendship between you and me, I will report it to the company and get the best conditions for you!"

Friendship?

Li Fanyu grinned and said sarcastically: "Friendship is too expensive, let's talk about money."

Hmph!

It's too late to start a friendship with me at this time!

What were you doing two weeks ago? If I don't kill you all, how can I be worthy of the anger I've been holding in for the past two weeks?
