This is an unedited chapter so yeah hope it is understandable >.<
If a weapon maker didn't recognize each of its models, then how could they sell weapons to other people?
Chen An gazed towards Chen Yang who was standing straight in front of him. He didn't feel any anxiety or hesitation, directly and quickly answered all his questions.
"Not only Lee-Enfield rifle's bouncing was one fold heavier than Mauser Kar98K rifle but Lee-Enfield rifle's shooting range was also one fold than Mauser Kar98K rifle.
Bent his leg, Chen An straighten his hands as he leaned on the sofa, he also indifferently threw the magazine in his hand to the side, then he raised his mouth and said "Continue."
"Even though Lee-Enfield rifle has advantages in terms of bouncing capacity and the shooting range, but Lee-Enfield rifle's overall structure wasn't really reliable, moreover it also needed to quickly take aim then shooting speed; some kind of the shooting range counteracts advantage."
Chen Yang expression when answered the question was good, he looked calm and composed, wasn't panic at all, from beginning the flow was good and he didn't hesitate at all. In the past his face was slightly immature but suddenly now it changed into a mature one.
Chen An has actually forgotten that Chen Yang's school was the best university in Shang Hai, relying on Chen Yang's own capability, he finally could study abroad relying on scholarship and didn't have any problem finishing his master's degree.
"Just continue and talk if you still more opinion on this." Looking at Chen Yang who seemed to still have something to say, Chen An's fingers softly knocked his knee.
This gesture looks the same like pressing every parts of Chen Yang's body. It made Chen Yang suddenly started to feel excited. He really wanted to get Chen An's recognition, which was this intense feeling.
"Compared to Lee-Enfield and Mauser Kar98K, I believed Mosin-Nagant rifle was better, it's main strongest point were the big destructive power, simple structure, more importantly it's producing requirement wasn't hard, easy to be used when was going to war as could be produced in large amount (in bale). In addition/moreover Mosin-Nargant rifle's accuracy was higher than to Lee-Enfield and Mauser Kar98K.
To be a qualified weapons maker, you had to have a deep understanding on your own weapons. While to be an excellent weapons maker, you had to have a deep understanding on what kind of weapons that may suit your customer.
Without a doubt Chen Yang's answer did get Chen An's acknowledgement.
Afterwards Chen An also continued to ask some questions about weapons as when it was with Lu Feng, and without an exception, Chen Yang perfectly answered it all.
In the beginning Chen An only hoped Chen Yang could at least have a clear understanding at it and it was enough, really didn't think that Chen Yang actually remembered all of it. However not only remembering but most of the weapons will also need to be compared and distinguished.
Not only which one was more qualified, but also have to make sure it went far way beyond expectation.
Chen An paused for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked: "what is your opinion in regard to the recent situation in Ukraine?"
This question has never been mentioned on the book that Chen An gave to him, although he has made sure Chen An to read many books in international situation field, but basically it was all about the relation between each international major camps among the continents, didn't related at all to the current events.
He only wanted to see whether Chen Yang often saw international news or not, what kind of view that he has on the international problems.
"Uncle, I am going to say it directly." Chen Yang didn't seem to quickly answer it. He only opened his mouth after he was slightly considering it for a while. However Chen An couldn't help but to laugh as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I feel Ukrainians were all like a group of idiots without any social experiences or knowledge about dispatch. Although the troops were forced to apologize to the mob and kneel on the square, even the military troops directly seek shelter to Russia; and because of the lack of funds, as there are an increase of Russian army, they actually used the approach to cut its fund, cut it so much that a large number of military forces was defeated ….."
Ukraine still rejected the dispatch and followed by more imbecile and unreasonable acts. It was all to make people wonder on how there was such kind of absurd government in this world.
But the real fact was like this, the powerful people in this world weren't necessarily wise, sometimes some foolish one also existed among them.
When they did business transactions sometimes also need to consider it a bit, their transactions could directly influence their own interest in which was a smart move or like this extremely foolish case of Ukraine.
"Chen Yang, do you know why I tested you on these kinds of questions?"
Chen An sat upright on the sofa, that tall long legs that always swayed in front of Chen Yang yet hiding under the black robe, suddenly almost lost between made Chen Yang couldn't clearly heard what were the questions.
Added by the fact Chen An also didn't plan to heard Chen Yang's answers, he just leaning on the back of the sofa, both hands that was in front of the computer saw the young man who was standing in front of him.
"I gave you this one real situation, the simplest story okay."
"When it was on the end of the 80th Century, Saudi Arabia was once bought 35 pieces of Dong Feng missile to certain countries, the rumor at that time when the representatives from certain countries was bidding, the price of a missile, at the same time their internal core fixed price was 1.000.000" Chen An added "RMB."
"How much were some certain countries wanted to pay? 10.000.000, do you think it is enough?" Chen An asked.
They actually could be sold it ten times then that 10.000.000 cost, for Chen Yang of course he nodded and said "a lot."
"Certain country in this case iss also scared that their price would scare away the other side, so didn't dare to directly sigh but compared to a finger, meanwhile finally at last even make the representative of that certain country really shocked, Saudi Arabia prince thought/believed that the price that certain country offer is 100.000.000."
Chen An stretched out his fingers, in front softly dazzle away: "one missile sold for 100.000.000."
It wasn't based on today's currency of 100.000.000, it was based on 20 years ago."
"100.000.000 RMB?!!!" If we calculate this amount of money in the present, it was enough to make Chen Yang looked it up. This amount of money was something that he couldn't earn even in his entire life or another life.
"It was in US $." Looking at Chen Yang's shocked expression, Chen An gently laughed, it turned out that this brat still too inexperienced.
"Even though one missile is $100.000.000, Saudi Arabia still regarded it cheap, Chen Yang, do you know why is that?" After Chen An finished asked that he directly answered it himself.
He didn't thought to hear Chen Yang answer, he only wanted to make this young man some simple principle.
"Someone who was somehow has lots of money, if couldn't have the capability to take care their own property, soon or late will be cleanly divided by other people. And his own property as well as body was all safe, used $3.500.000.000 to buy a not threatening weapon enough to protect himself, but for Saudi Arabia obviously it was really cheap."
In this world there were lots of weapons that you couldn't buy even if you had lots of money, and for example was this, missile.
Of course, Chen An's weapon business wouldn't involved that kind of dangerous weapons, in this world there also weren't any weapon stores that dare to do so, because it didn't only involve the matter of interest, but also will involve the world's order.
"The reason why I told you this story were, first because I wanted you to know, in this world there are lots of countries and people in certain places that wanted to get this kind of weapon, and they are willing to pay lots and lots of money."
"Second …" Chen An slightly curved up his lips, slowed down his talking speed, said it word per word, "the weapon cost 1.000.000 RMB could be sold for $100.000.000, this wasn't something accidental, this was the reality, the truth was weapon transaction was very profiteering.
Wherever there was war, then there will also be weapon store. Somewhere there was the possibility of war then it could also be guaranteed that there would be war. Didn't care whether it was power or interest, these two factors will forever cause the war broke out.
The high threshold entry of weapon business, small circle, high profit, but also high risk, right now Chen An wasn't an insider in this small circle, but he could quickly became one, also could quickly make one who was in this small circle noticed his existence.
"This is your last chance to choose."
Chen An stood up from the sofa, then he walked to in front of Chen Yang and this young man also stood up face to face with him.
The calm and clear gaze, said every word out from Chen An's mouth was clearly heard by Chen Yang: "to join together with me the other didn't be part of the world ordinary crazy people, also didn't belong to one who is in your present path, as an ordinary person, living life as an ordinary person."
"I want to be together with you." Didn't consider anything, Chen Yang just blurted out, looking straight at Chen An's eyes without any fear, the persistent and determination in his eyes was in that way that make Chen An thought of his little brother Zhang Le for a moment.
What different was in Chen An sight didn't fear or worry to unknown things in the future, there was only constancy.
His hand gently reached to stroke Chen Yang's cheek, Chen An use his fingers to rub this man's cheek, he then walked a step to go near Chen An, each other's chest seemed to be closed with one another.
"If later on you dare to betray me, I will make you feel life is worse than death." Softly, whispering to Chen Yang, plain tone revealed the devil's general curse. Chen An wouldn't let the same betrayal happened for the second time.
"Uncle, I will never ever betray you, Chen Yang will be you ally forever, will do what you say for the rest of my life time."
Chen Yang suddenly walked a step and his chest nestle together with Chen An, and at the same time also opened his arms firmly to hug the man, almost looked like wanted to use it to prove Chen An that he would never betray him.
Chen An gently patted Chen Yang's back, his mouth was slightly curved up.
Lu Feng, if you knew that right now I also trained a successor, didn't regard you as my only successor anymore, what would you feel?
