Brother, just how powerful is our family?
Chapter 42 Friendship Price
"Mr. Qin has great confidence in the strength of Huanyu Group," the deputy minister said.
"It's not about confidence, it's a fact," Qin Feng corrected. "In Black Continent, sometimes force is more effective than any other method. Reasoning, negotiating cooperation, signing agreements... these are certainly important, but without force as a backing, everything is just empty talk."
This statement is blunt and cruel, but it reflects the reality in Africa.
"Well then..." The deputy minister exchanged glances with his team, "we hope to establish mining cooperation projects with Huanyu Group in several countries in Montenegro. Specifically, this includes cobalt mines in Ganggo (Golden), copper mines in Zambia, bauxite mines in Chinea, and gold and platinum group metals in southern Montenegro."
After listening, Qin Feng nodded: "That's fine. The Huanyu Group has 'good relationships' with the governments of these countries. Mining rights, transportation routes, security guarantees... these are not problems."
"What are the specific cooperation models?" the deputy minister asked.
"The Huanyu Group will be responsible for ensuring the safety of mining and transportation, and will collect the corresponding security fees," Qin Feng said. "Mining and smelting can be handled by Chinese-funded enterprises, or we can provide technical support. Profit sharing will follow industry practice. Most importantly—"
He paused, then looked at the deputy minister: "Ensure a stable supply, free from interference by other forces."
"What do you mean by 'other forces'?" asked the young diplomat next to the deputy minister.
"The United States, Europe, Russia, or anyone who wants to interfere," Qin Feng said casually. "In Africa, the Universal Group calls the shots. If anyone disagrees, they can try."
The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.
The Vice Minister nodded slowly: "Very well. Our team will discuss the specific cooperation agreement with your group's professionals. Preliminary estimates suggest that these cooperation projects will involve more than 100 billion Dragon Coins."
"Sure," Qin Feng readily agreed. "Is there anything else?"
Some members of the team hesitated to speak, then looked at the deputy minister.
The deputy minister took a deep breath and moved on to the next topic.
"There is indeed one more thing," he said. "We are very interested in...certain equipment from the Universal Group."
"Weapons and equipment?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," the deputy minister admitted, "especially... strategic bombers."
The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became subtle.
Strategic bombers—these are crucial weapons of a major power and a core component of a nation's strategic deterrence.
Although China has its own strategic bombers, their performance still lags behind that of the United States' B-1B and B-2.
Now, the Universal Group not only owns the B-1B, but also demonstrates performance far exceeding the original version.
"Want a B-1B?" Qin Feng asked.
"If possible," the deputy minister said cautiously, "we know it's presumptuous, but... if these technologies can be used for the country..."
Qin Feng remained silent for a few seconds.
The team members watched him nervously, waiting for his answer.
"Yes," Qin Feng replied affirmatively once again.
Even the vice minister was surprised: "Mr. Qin, are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Qin Feng retorted. "However, there are a few things that need to be clarified."
"Speaking."
"First, I'm selling a redesigned, conventionally powered version," Qin Feng said. "It uses aviation fuel, not nuclear fusion power. But even so, its performance far surpasses that of the B-1B currently in service with the United States."
"Secondly, I will provide complete drawings, manufacturing processes, material formulas, and all relevant technical information."
"Third, the price is 20 billion Dragon Coins. Four bombers, plus the complete technology."
This price is unbelievably low.
It's worth noting that the cost of a single American B-1B exceeds $500 million, which is equivalent to over 3 billion Chinese Yuan.
Moreover, this is the price for the bare machine only, excluding any technology transfer.
Two hundred billion Dragon Coins, four of the world's most advanced strategic bombers plus a full suite of technologies?
This is practically free!
"Mr. Qin..." the deputy minister said in disbelief, "This price..."
"A friendly price," Qin Feng said. "After all, I'm also a Chinese citizen."
These words were simple, but the emotions they conveyed moved everyone present.
"But..." the technical expert couldn't help but ask, "Can the conventional power version achieve the performance shown in the video?"
"It can't quite reach that level, but it's very close," Qin Feng explained. "It has a range of approximately 30,000 kilometers, a maximum speed of Mach 2, a payload of 60 tons, and stealth capabilities superior to the B-2. Most importantly—"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I will provide all these core technologies: engine technology, materials science, flight control systems... With China's industrial base, we are fully capable of absorbing and digesting them, and even developing them further."
A low gasp of surprise erupted from the team.
If what Qin Feng said is true, then the value of this deal will be immeasurable!
"Mr. Qin, I need to confirm something," the deputy minister said seriously. "Are you really willing to provide the complete technology? Including material formulas, manufacturing processes, and even the source code?"
"All of them." Qin Feng nodded. "The blueprints will be printed in paper form for your research and archiving. Technical data will be provided in both electronic and paper formats."
"Then...when can it be delivered?"
"Three days from now," Qin Feng said. "During these three days, you can rest at the base. Three days from now, four brand-new bombers and a complete set of technical data will be delivered on time."
Three days? To build four strategic bombers from scratch, and prepare a massive amount of technical data? How is that possible?
But looking at Qin Feng's calm expression, no one doubted his words.
"Alright!" the vice minister approved. "Three days it will be. The price will be 20 billion Dragon Coins, as Mr. Qin suggested. The country will not let you suffer a loss, and if there are any other collaborations in the future, we will definitely offer you the most favorable terms."
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Qin Feng extended his hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with you!" the deputy minister said, shaking his hand firmly.
The talks concluded in a cordial atmosphere.
Qin Feng arranged for the deputy minister and his entourage to stay in the VIP building of the manor, and sent someone to show them parts of the base—of course, selected non-core areas.
Over the next three days, the deputy minister's team received courteous but limited access to the base.
They were allowed to visit the training grounds, some equipment display areas, and even watch an air show.
However, the deeper areas—the entrance to the underground base, the research center, and the manufacturing plant—remain closed to the public.
Even so, what they saw was already shocking enough.
On the training ground, soldiers are conducting live-fire exercises. Their movements are so precise they seem inhuman, and their shooting accuracy is astonishing.
What's even more surprising is that these soldiers all have typical East Asian features, and many of them look like ordinary young Chinese people.
