Ultimately, the unit price Joseph agreed upon with the U.S. military was 160 US Dollars.
Joseph gave the U.S. military a discount, as the original price per unit was supposed to be 170 US Dollars, twice the price.
But Johnson stated that the U.S. military's long-term, large-scale purchases would help spread the development costs of the Galland Rifle, and the armory should offer some concessions.
Joseph found this a bit reasonable, so he reluctantly signed the contract for the first batch of 100,000 rifles.
"This would yield a profit of at least tens of millions of US Dollars," Dejoka said excitedly. "We earn over a hundred US Dollars per rifle, not to mention the cost of ammunition and subsequent maintenance and replacement parts."
Tens of millions of US Dollars were no small sum at that time, enough to build ten new destroyers with a displacement of 2,000 tons each.
But Shire thought it was still not enough, far from enough.
