"Because of the price," Schaefer answered.
"Thailand isn't short of money, but their original budget was only enough to buy two submarines. However, now they can get six submarines with the relevant logistics support. Do you know how cheap this deal I negotiated is?"
"How cheap?"
"8 billion Baht, for a full set of six diesel-electric submarines and logistics."
80 Baht is equivalent to less than 2 billion RMB. This price is indeed insanely cheap, with great value for money.
"When were these submarines built?" Chen Yiyang was a bit curious.
How could the price be reduced to this level?
The price of a submarine is almost the same as an aircraft.
"These submarines are our country's Type 206A submarines, which were mostly commissioned between 1973 and 1975."
Uh.
Chen Yiyang calculated that these submarines were mostly three or four decades old.
"However, later we gave these submarines a modern upgrade. Although they are indeed somewhat outdated, they are at least functional."
