Chapter 1386 Losing? I'm only worried about not winning gracefully enough.
How many do you want?
Two million?
"Do I look like I'm worth two million?"
In the headquarters, in the commander's office.
As soon as Qin Feng made his request, Tang Yuanchao spat out a mouthful of tea.
He couldn't believe his ears: "What kind of combat boots cost so much? Are the soles made of gold, or are the insoles studded with diamonds?"
"You have less than two thousand people in total. Even if you sell a set for two hundred yuan, that's already quite good. At most, it's less than four hundred thousand."
"Moreover, military supplies are priced at cost, so they will only be cheaper."
"I was originally thinking of giving you 100,000 yuan, at most 150,000 yuan would be about right, but you actually asked me for 2 million, how dare you?"
Qin Feng looked at him seriously: "Commander, I originally wanted to say four million, but I reduced it to half because I considered your affordability."
Tang Yuanchao was almost laughing in exasperation: "Then should I thank you?"
"No need for that."
"..."
Tang Yuanchao stood up and walked up to Qin Feng: "Do you think you're very humorous?"
Qin Feng: "Report, I was born without a sense of humor."
Tang Yuanchao: "Alright, alright, fine. Two million, right? Then tell me, what do you need so much money for?"
"Are you buying guns or cannons? You can't buy this much just for shoes, can you?"
Qin Feng: "I haven't decided yet."
Tang Yuanchao was almost furious: "Are you deliberately trying to make a scene here? You just casually mentioned two million. Do you know how much two million is? If you piled it up on the table, it would be as high as a small mountain!"
"You are only in temporary positions and do not yet have the authority to allocate or use military funds!"
"At most, I'll give you 150,000, not a penny more!"
After saying that, he took out a bank card that he had prepared in advance from the drawer and slapped it on the table.
This money was actually leftover hospitality funds from a certain division.
The military has many external reception activities, which also cost money.
There's a spare change in the drawer, so if Qin Feng needs it, I'll give it to him.
Consider it a small compensation for the injustices he suffered when his troops were divided and reorganized.
Qin Feng took the card and put it in his pocket, but he stood still and didn't move: "Report, I do need a large amount of funding, because only with this sponsorship can I possibly win the exercise three months from now!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Tang revealed a meaningful expression.
His emotions were not as agitated as they had been when Qin Feng had demanded exorbitant prices.
If it's about winning the game, or if this money can help him secure victory, Commander Tang would really like to hear his plan.
“I knew it, you wanted money not just to buy shoes and protective gear.”
"Tell me, what is this funding application for, and what is it intended to be used for?"
Qin Feng stood with his legs together and solemnly replied, "Modification!"
Commander Tang: "Modify what?"
"Vehicle modification!"
Qin Feng replied, "Many of the vehicles assigned to our brigade are old and need repair and parts replacement. We're new here, and the other units won't repair or replace parts for free."
"In addition, some vehicles need to have their tires replaced with special tire pads to adapt to operations in some extreme and harsh environments."
"And the motorcycles, I need to modify the exhaust pipes and add spare fuel tanks to ensure long endurance, high concealment, and high mobility in combat."
"besides......"
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Commander Tang raised his hand to interrupt him.
"That's enough, that's enough. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, even considering these things?"
"The battlefield environment is complex and ever-changing. Three months is not enough time for my soldiers to undergo a complete transformation. It would be good if they could meet the assessment requirements. But at least we must think things through and anticipate what we can think of in advance."
"You're right, we should indeed plan ahead."
Commander Tang looked at him with a hint of admiration: "Qin Feng, you are younger and more composed than I imagined. I thought you would come and make a scene after you were assigned to the motorized infantry brigade, but you agreed without saying a word."
Qin Feng responded, "A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Since the organization has made this arrangement, there must be a reason for it. I will do as it is."
"Aren't you worried about losing?"
"I only worry about not winning gracefully enough, not winning with enough style; I've never thought about losing."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Commander Tang laughed heartily: "Well said, well said! I admire soldiers with courage and decisiveness the most!"
He pointed at Qin Feng: "You were able to kidnap Yin Tianchou and outmaneuver Man Xiongzhi, which is enough to show that your abilities are no less than theirs. As a result, both sides want to join forces against you."
"But in the military, being hated and plotted against is a skill, and it also shows your strength."
"I personally think highly of you; even if you don't get the division commander position, it's not impossible to get a deputy division commander position for a few years as a transition, and then slowly rise up."
Qin Feng did not respond, but he would never agree to be appointed as a deputy division commander as a temporary measure and wait for several more years.
The best opportunity is right in front of us; the best time is now.
The joy of life should be driving a car that you can only afford when you're thirty, even when you're eighteen.
At twenty, you can afford a house that you can only afford at forty.
At twenty-five, I experienced the scenery that I only had the ability and time to appreciate after retirement.
If you only enjoy the right things at the right age, you lose the pleasure and the meaning becomes much less.
To become a general, one must be the youngest in the country, and the younger the better.
Only in this way will he be forever written in military history, becoming the most unsurpassable legend and the most insurmountable mountain.
"How about this?" Commander Tang considered for a moment and said to him seriously, "In terms of rules, the issue of funding is not explicitly mentioned; but considering that what you said is true and your request is reasonable."
"At most, I'll give you a million in funding; of course, this is just a temporary loan, and you'll have to pay it back once everything settles down."
"This is the limit of what I can compromise on. If you can accept it, then accept it; if you can't, then forget it."
"can."
Qin Feng nodded and accepted the million-dollar sponsorship.
Actually, he never expected to receive two million.
Setting the price a little higher is just to make it easier to negotiate later.
After all, if he directly offered one million, the other party might only give him five hundred thousand in the end.
A million dollars in military spending isn't actually a lot for a brigade, because when it's divided among each individual, there's not much left.
Compared to those organizations that spend tens or hundreds of millions on funding, it's like a drop in the ocean.
But with just these minor setbacks, Qin Feng can try to leverage an even greater victory!
