80: Chapter 80: There's no need to expend effort to sell it.

Li Yi looked again at the unlocked small arms equipment; these were also somewhat outdated.

The first model is the "Blade" Type I Rifle.

It is a semi-automatic rifle, 1.25 meters long, weighs 3.85 kilograms, has an effective range of 800 meters, a magazine capacity of 10 rounds, and a muzzle velocity of 850 meters/second.

Semi-automatic rifles are basically not used anymore; they are only used as ceremonial rifles and have no sales market at all.

The second model is the "Piercing Arrow" Type I Pistol.

It is 190 millimeters long, weighs 0.8 kilograms, has an effective range of 50 meters, a magazine capacity of 8 rounds, a rate of fire of 30 rounds/minute, and a muzzle velocity of 420 meters/second.

This pistol still has some practical value, but for the present day, it is also not very practical.

The third model is the "Piercing Edge" Type I Machine Gun.

It is a light machine gun, 1.05 meters long, weighs 7.5 kilograms, has an effective range of 800 meters, uses a 100-round ammunition belt, has a rate of fire of 150 rounds/minute, and a muzzle velocity of 735 meters/second.

This light machine gun is no longer very suitable and basically has no sales value.

Li Yi flipped through the situation regarding tanks and armored vehicles; there were very few models available for sale.

The first model is the "Fierce Rhino" Type I Tank.

It is considered a medium tank, with a total weight of 35 tons, armor thickness equivalent to 220 millimeters of homogeneous armor, a cross-country speed of 25 km/h, a maximum speed of 50 km/h, and a maximum range of 600 kilometers.

It is equipped with a 100mm rifled gun, 35 rounds of ammunition, a combat rate of fire of 8 rounds/minute, is equipped with 2 machine guns, 3500 rounds of machine gun ammunition, and uses a gunner's sight for aiming.

This tank also has significant problems: insufficient armor thickness, insufficient artillery power, and a speed that is too slow. A series of problems destined it to not be sellable.

The second model is the "Fierce Tiger" Type I Armored Vehicle.

It is an armored personnel carrier, with a total weight of 12.8 tons, a total length of 5.5 meters, armor thickness of 15 millimeters, a cross-country speed of 48 km/h, a maximum speed of 65 km/h, a maximum range of 500 kilometers, and is equipped with two machine guns.

This armored vehicle also has problems: insufficient armor thickness, too slow a speed, and too short a range, making it difficult to meet the needs of most countries.

The third model is the "Fierce Lion" Type I Artillery.

It is a towed artillery piece, with a caliber of 130mm, a total weight of 7500 kilograms, a minimum range of 3500 meters, a maximum range of 20,000 meters, a rate of fire of 5 rounds/minute, and a muzzle velocity of 900 meters/second.

This artillery piece is not self-propelled, the range is too short, the power is insufficient, and its sales value is also not high.

After reading through everything, Li Yi felt that there was no sales value and it was completely impossible to sell them.

Although Li Yi felt there were no sales prospects, he still bundled them together, preparing to seek Mannila's opinion.

As an arms broker, Mannila understood the needs of clients in the arms market better; unlike Li Yi, who was just an amateur arms dealer who didn't quite understand customer needs.

Mannila happened to be at the Riviera Hotel, so Li Yi called him to a conference room in the hotel.

However, as soon as he saw Li Yi, Mannila looked a bit resentful.

Mannila was very unhappy. He had contacted several clients, and they all signed new contracts with Li Yi for the purchase of the "Tianlei" Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, without letting him intervene to make a profit.

Although he didn't know the exact transaction amount, he figured it wouldn't be small. After all, these were all arms orders; there weren't many small ones.

Li Yi ignored Mannila's expression and said, "I have some information here about weapons and equipment. Help me see if there are any that have the potential to be sold." He then handed all the information to Mannila.

Hearing that there was new weaponry, Mannila took it over with an excited look on his face. However, after reading a few pages, his expression fell, and his disappointment was very obvious.

They were all old, outdated weapons. How could these be sold? No customer would choose to use these weapons anymore.

Li Yi looked at Mannila's expression; it seemed just as he thought: there really wasn't much weaponry that could be sold.

After Mannila finished flipping through them, he carefully considered it and said, "Most of these weapons and equipment are slightly outdated. Nowadays, not many customers would still use this type of equipment."

"Are there any weapons or equipment that can be sold?" Li Yi asked.

"If the "Eagle" Type III jet multi-role fighter is sold to some countries as a trainer aircraft, some countries might be interested. The "War Tiger" Type II jet bomber has some appeal to some countries, but the quantity equipped will not be large."

Mannila continued, "As for naval equipment, it basically cannot be sold. At most, the "Flying Fish" Type I Destroyer could be sold in small quantities as a training ship. Small arms are the same; they have no sales value. As for tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, I don't see any customers who would buy them."

Mannila spoke very bluntly and didn't try to fool Li Yi by saying they could be sold in large quantities.

Li Yi understood and said, "So that means the "Eagle" Type III jet multi-role fighter, the "War Tiger" Type II jet bomber, and the "Flying Fish" Type I Destroyer—these three types of weapons can be sold as training equipment, and there is no need to sell the others, right?"

"Yes. The others are obsolete weapons and equipment; there is no need to waste effort promoting them," Mannila said affirmatively.

"Good. Chaos Company will also include these three types of equipment in the range of items available for sale. If you can sell them, Chaos Company can continue to pay the agency fees."

Li Yi pinned his hopes on Mannila helping to sell some of them; no matter the quantity, it would always bring in some funds.

"Alright. It's just that I don't know if there are any customers who will purchase them; I can't guarantee it." Mannila didn't have much confidence.

"It doesn't matter. Just try promoting them first."

After Li Yi finished talking with Mannila, he left the hotel conference room.

It seems he needs to unlock new weapons and equipment in order to expand the types of weapons and equipment available for sale.

To unlock new weapons and equipment, the amount of arms purchased from the Multiverse Arms Trading System needs to reach 1 billion. Currently, he has only purchased over 700 million in arms, and he still needs to purchase over 300 million more before he can unlock them.

Should he purchase arms now to unlock them?

Li Yi considered it and felt that the types of newly unlocked arms might not be many either. He decided to just wait until he had enough of the 10 billion in system funds before unlocking them.

By then, the weapons and equipment Li Yi could sell would undergo an earth-shaking change.

After thinking this through, Li Yi didn't pay it any more mind. For now, he would just continue to sell more of the "Tianlei" Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

Countries in the Persian Gulf region should all have a need for anti-aircraft missiles. After all, the USA and Israel, those two troublemakers, are right next door, and one never knows when their airspace might be violated.

With the "Tianlei" Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, at least he could deter Israel from being so unscrupulous.

It seems he needs to make good use of the battle that took place at the Raqqa Military Base to promote the "Tianlei" Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, letting more countries know about this anti-aircraft missile.
