Chapter 139 Cross-Regional Arms Sales License

After hearing what Chen She said, Liu Zhilin could not help but be stunned.

The so-called "go back and verify the loss carefully" means to think carefully about how much money to extort. Everyone understands this subtext.

For Liu Zhilin, this is also normal. After all, this incident has made such a big fuss. Lishan Technology will definitely not tolerate just the conventional compensation. It must bite off a piece of meat from the Icefield Defense Group to have a full meal before it can be satisfied.

Whether the money is much or little, it is a business matter and can be discussed slowly.

But the last two requirements surprised Liu Zhilin.

Because the compensation plan Liu Zhilin originally thought of was to let the Icefield Defense Group provide security services for Lishan Technology for a period of time, or provide a batch of weapons and equipment.

In Liu Zhilin's view, for a super dream research and development company like Lishan Technology, this is obviously very cost-effective.

Because ordinary companies want to develop armaments, it is impossible to develop at all. The military industry is a very high-end industry that requires technical accumulation and a lot of battlefield testing.

Even a top consortium like Fujido Group, which has developed for so many years and invested so many resources in military industry, still has such a huge gap with Icefield Defense Group, let alone a small consortium like Lishan Technology?

Not to mention training a combat-capable army, the resources spent are unimaginable.

Therefore, for these small consortiums, it is best to spend money to buy security services.

Even a top consortium like Changye Entertainment Group, in order to deal with corporate wars, didn’t it still buy security services from Icefield Defense Group?

It is a wise move to specialize in one’s own profession and not to fight and waste resources in areas that one is not good at.

Liu Zhilin guessed that Chen She did not accept the gift of security services because he was afraid that Icefield Defense Group would do something else.

They were already enemies, and buying security services from others, isn’t this inviting a wolf into the house?

But in fact, as a middleman, Liu Zhilin still trusts the Icefield Defense Group. After all, there was one rule before the Mellen Bank Group intervened, and there was another rule after the Mellen Bank Group intervened.

Before, no one knew that the Icefield Defense Group was secretly doing things, but now after the mediation of the Mellen Bank Group, it is another matter to do it again.

Of course, it is human nature for Chen She to think so, so Liu Zhilin has another plan, which is to let the Icefield Defense Group provide a batch of top-notch weapons and equipment.

This batch of weapons and equipment are not available on the market. Lishan Technology can organize its own corporate army to use and train after getting them.

Of course, good weapons and equipment also need good logistics. You can't just send a broken part to the Icefield Defense Group for repair, right?

So in Liu Zhilin's view, it is more cost-effective to directly provide security services.

Unexpectedly, Chen She did not want security services or a whole batch of weapons and equipment, but the top weapons and equipment, one of each!

After conversion, the value is definitely less than that batch of weapons and equipment, so Chen She proposed an additional condition, which is to become the chief councilor of Liming City and obtain a license for cross-regional arms sales!

What is this for?

Could it be that Lishan Technology also wants to research and imitate the latest weapons and equipment of the Icefield Defense Group, and then sell this batch of imitated equipment? For example, sell it to the Western Continent?

At present, according to the laws of the Old Land, although general consortiums can obtain production and sales licenses for the military industry, most consortiums can only sell their military products to the same federal district.

For example, Lishan Technology, because it is registered in the Northern Federal District, can only sell within the scope of the Northern Federal District.

And only large consortiums like the Icefield Defense Group, which have obtained a cross-regional arms sales license, can sell weapons and equipment to the entire Old Land.

The reason for this regulation is that on the one hand, the parliaments of different federal districts have different policies and will protect local industries. On the other hand, it is also to artificially create some barriers to prevent some crudely made weapons from circulating everywhere and disrupting the market.

The weapons on the old land are sold at a high price. This is the result of negotiations and compromises between various arms dealers. Everyone happily makes the most profit together.

Many of the latest high-end firearms are powerful, but they are easily damaged and expensive, precisely because of this reason.

In short, Chen She's two requirements almost clearly wrote his purpose on his face: I want to reverse disassemble and study the latest weapons and equipment of the Icefield Defense Group, and I want to sell arms in other continents!

Although the Northern Federal District is the largest federal district, the situation here is relatively stable. Moreover, the headquarters of the Icefield Defense Group is in the Northern Federal District, and with the Fujitang Group and other consortiums, the market has almost been robbed.

The Western Federal District is different. It is more chaotic there, and the sales of arms are better.

Liu Zhilin looked at Chen She and did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Chen She's motive for this remark seems a bit too explicit and a bit stupid, but this is also the result of Chen She's careful consideration.

The reason is very simple. It is difficult to fool Liu Zhilin!

He wanted the position of Chief Councillor of Liming City and a cross-regional arms sales license. These were very clear requests. Hinting alone would be useless and could easily backfire.

It would be better to just say it out loud.

As long as the cross-regional arms sales license is mentioned, Liu Zhilin will naturally have doubts. Instead of hiding it, it is better to speak clearly.

This blatant statement will actually have a better effect of covering up.

Liu Zhilin stood up and paced a few steps. Many thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

"The chief councillor of Liming City can try to operate it. It's not a big problem. After all, Lishan Technology's power in Liming City is growing. As long as the Icefield Defense Group, Mellen Bank Group and Microwood Technology Group agree, it will be easy to handle."

"But... the latest weapons and equipment and cross-regional arms sales licenses?"

"This ambition is really big."

"In other words, Lishan Technology wants to reverse disassemble and study the latest weapons of the Icefield Defense Group, and then sell them to the Western Continent after imitating them?"

"Isn't this a bit too whimsical?"

"But... this is also a good thing. If agreeing to this condition can calm down this incident, it is an acceptable result for the Icefield Defense Group. After all... Lishan Technology can't really reverse-engineer anything from these weapons."

"As long as these equipment don't fall into the hands of the Icefield Defense Group's direct competitors, there will be no problem."

The more Liu Zhilin thought about it, the more he felt that this was not something difficult to accept.

Although Lishan Technology's ambition is obvious, ambition and strength are completely different things!

Even if they want to reverse engineer the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Icefield Defense Group, what can they do?

Just like some arms sales between countries, if advanced weapons are sold to powerful countries, it is indeed very dangerous and easy to cause technology leakage, but if they are sold to weak countries...weak countries can barely maintain the use of weapons, and reverse research? They don’t have the ability at all.

The same is true for arms sales between consortiums.

If the Icefield Defense Group sells these weapons to a large consortium like the Fujido Group, it will definitely not work, but if it is sold to Lishan Technology, there should be no big problem.

Anyway, Lishan Technology can’t research anything.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhilin said: "I can help you with the Chief Councillor's matter. Although it cannot be guaranteed now, as long as the representative of the Icefield Defense Group nods, this matter is very promising. After all, the representative of the Microwood Group and I will also nod."

"Cross-regional military sales licenses are not a big problem."

"As for the new equipment of the Icefield Defense Group... I can only say that I will try my best to help you fight for it, but it is hard to say how much you can get. And even if you get it, you have to sign an agreement and can only use it for yourself, and you must not resell these new equipment to others."

"The conditions may be very strict, and... I think it is better to directly ask for security services or a batch of equipment on sale. From a practical point of view, it will be more cost-effective."

Liu Zhilin didn't say it too clearly, but the meaning was obviously "You want to do reverse research, the chance of success is very low."

Chen She smiled slightly: "It's okay, Mr. Liu, this is of course a matter of willingness to accept defeat. This is my condition. If the Icefield Defense Group is willing to reconcile, it would be the best. If not, I can't do anything."

...

Liu Zhilin didn't say it firmly, but Chen She felt that it seemed possible.

In fact, Chen She himself was asking for a sky-high price. Even if the Icefield Defense Group did not provide all the latest weapons and equipment, but only provided a part, it would be enough for Chen She to make money.

Liu Zhilin and the Icefield Defense Group must have felt that Lishan Technology could not reverse-engineer these equipment. After all, the military industry itself requires a lot of technical accumulation. Without a complete system and excellent scientific researchers, even if they got the new equipment, they would not be able to research it.

But their intelligence obviously lacked a very important link. Chen She was the creator!

With the special ability of the creator, Chen She could completely transform these new equipment and produce a batch of high-quality and low-cost weapons to sell to the Western Continent.

"Go to the experience store and have a look."

Chen She said to Zhang Sirui.

The hovercraft flew out of the inner city and came to the area where the Lishan Technology Experience Store was located.

Compared with the inner city, this place seemed quite peaceful and calm, and even had a lively and prosperous feeling!

At this time, the inner city was in a panic. Many rich people were thinking about fleeing Liming City, while the middle class was hesitant between running and not running.

Not running? Worried that if the Space Knights attacked again one day, it would be a mess.

Running? There are industries in Liming City that are reluctant to leave. If there is no such dangerous activity in Liming City after running away, wouldn’t it be a big loss?

But for ordinary people at the bottom, there is no such worry, because they can’t run away anyway.

Some people even feel gloating over what happened in the inner city. After all, the slums around the city were the ones who suffered in the past, and this time it was the turn of those noble lords who were high above.

Chen She hasn’t been to the experience store for a while, and he just wants to take a look at the situation here.
