Set sail1992

Ok?
After Abdullah Ayub's voice fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized: Yes!If these Chinese heavy truck groups can really produce Steyr military trucks, then we can ask them to provide test vehicles.As for how to calculate Da Mao's order, ahem...

Let's see how the military trucks produced by the Huaxia people are. If they are really good...if they are really good...then discuss it...

There is one thing to say, don't look at Da Mao's half-dead look now, but Syria really dare not offend Da Mao.

Khalid Rahmon's eyes lit up, and his brows frowned slightly: "Can the Chinese provide a few test vehicles?"

"Yes, sir," Abdullah Ayub nodded and said, "In any case, we require Huaxia people to provide test vehicles that meet the requirements... As long as there is a share of Da Mao in future orders, Da Mao can't say anything. "

Everyone nodded: This is the truth!

Obviously, it is not that the Syrian side has not seen good things. Regarding some of the terrible problems of Da Mao's various military equipment, everyone is actually very headache. It was just that there was no way to do it before, but now that there is an opportunity, we have to find a way to say anything Correct some.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Khalid Rahmon did not hesitate, nodded and said to Abdullah Ayub: "Well... It is a good way to provide test vehicles, Mr. Ayyub, this It will trouble you."

Abdullah Ayub responded hastily: "Don't worry, I will do well."

........................

After getting out of the meeting room and getting into the car, Abdullah Ayub immediately called Samir Khalil: "Samir, the meeting room was decided just now, give the Chinese people a chance."

Yes, the reason why Abdullah Ayub so strongly supports the introduction of Chinese people to participate in this "bidding" for military trucks...in fact, it cannot be called a bidding, because the original truck order was directly handed over to the Russians... …because of Samir Khalil's all-out lobbying.

After hearing Abdullah Ayub's words, Samir Khalil breathed a sigh of relief: "Passed? Great!"

Abdullah Ayub responded, and said, "Samir, this time, I'm a guarantee for you, so... are you sure that the Chinese trucks can meet our requirements? You should understand , if the Huaxia people's vehicles fail to pass the test, we will be laughed at."

If he was dismissed during the test session, it would not affect Abdullah Ayub's career, but it is certain that Abdullah Ayub was secretly laughed at.

Although Samir Khalil was not sure about the quality and standard of China's military trucks, the "Steyr 91 Series" still gave him some confidence. He said in a tone of voice: "Sir, I still say the same thing, if it is a truck produced by Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing Plant, it will be fine, but this is a Steyr 91."

"Um……"

Abdullah Ayub responded.

This is actually the reason why Abdullah Ayyub is willing to speak for Samir Khalil. If the products that participated in this test were products from other Chinese auto manufacturers, he would not have said this at all, but since It is the Steyr 91 produced by Huaxia... European products and technologies are still trustworthy.

After a slight pause, Abdullah Ayub then said to Samir Khalil: "Samir, you tell the Chinese people that it took me a lot of effort to persuade everyone to give them this opportunity, so... ...hope they don't disappoint me."

Samir Khalil froze for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I understand!"

Isn't it just asking the Chinese people to "express", I know what Samir Khalil said you mean.

------------

In the hotel, in Zhang Qihang's room, Guo Xiaoping politely said to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I have an idea and I would like to ask you for instructions."

Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

Guo Xiaoping said: "That's it. I was thinking that since we are going to use Syria as a fulcrum to develop the markets in the Middle East and North Africa, should we officially set up a stall here? I have been living in a hotel, I don't think it is So it's like a leather bag company, and it doesn't match the image of our group."

"Look at my brain!" Hearing Guo Xiaoping's words, Zhang Qihang slapped his head and said with some annoyance: "Vice President Guo, you are right, we are going to set up a stall here... If it wasn't for your reminder, I really didn't expect that."

Guo Xiaoping was right. Since he was going to deeply cultivate this market, he had to gain a foothold in Syria and continue to live in a hotel. It would be a bit inconsistent with the image of a heavy-duty truck manufacturer capable of producing military trucks.

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Guo Xiaoping also showed a smile on his face.

Zhang Qihang then asked Guo Xiaoping: "Vice President Guo, I am also going to tell you that I can't stay here for a long time. Since you are in charge of our group's military products, then negotiate with the Syrian side." You will be handed over the work of dealing with and dealing with the government, so what do you think we should do with this mess here?"

Guo Xiaoping was not surprised by Zhang Qihang's answer, just like Zhang Qihang himself said, he is the general manager of the entire Sinotruk Group, and it is indeed impossible to stay here all the time and want to take down this batch of military supplies in Syria. Truck orders can only be handed over to oneself.After pondering for a while, Guo Xiaoping said: "Mr. Zhang, that's what I think, we should set up at least one office here, and upgrade the office to a branch when the time is right in the future.

As for the location and scale of this office, considering that this office will be the fulcrum of our business in the Middle East and North Africa, the future staff may be indispensable. I think the place should not be too small. As for the specific location, it does not matter. , It doesn't matter if the position is a little bit off. "

"Well, I think so too," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "Since I'm professional and professional, then I'll leave this matter to you?"

Guo Xiaoping didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed happily: "Success, Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I promise to handle this matter beautifully, to the satisfaction of you and your comrades."

"Um……"

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and was about to say something when the phone rang.

Before Zhang Qihang could speak, Guo Xiaoping, who heard the ringing of the phone, looked towards the door with a very clear meaning: Shall I go out first?
Zhang Qihang waved his hand, meaning "you don't need to go out", and at the same time he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Khalil, I'm Zhang Qihang, what? You want us to arrange a batch of test vehicles to come over? No problem, of course not." Question, ok... ok ok Mr. Khalil, thank you very much, I understand... yes, I know how to do it... well, we are ready, the vehicles involved in the test will be shipped soon Come here... ok, goodbye..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qihang said to Guo Xiaoping with a smile on his face: "Vice President Guo, I have some good news for you. Just now Mr. Samir Khalil, the person in charge of the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Development, called and told me about the situation in Syria. The side has unified our bidding, let us arrange a batch of test vehicles to come as soon as possible."

Guo Xiaoping, who just listened to Zhang Qihang's call from beginning to end, naturally understood what Zhang Qihang's call was all about, but this did not prevent him from showing an excited expression at the moment, listening to Zhang Qihang's call. After finishing speaking, he nodded again and again: "Really? That's great, the Syrian side's actions are really fast this time... So, our chances are not small?"

"It's quite fast, and our chances are indeed not small," Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile. Zhang Qihang was also a little surprised at the reaction speed of the Syrian government: "But having said that, the Syrian side can give us half of the order." Not bad, Vice President Guo, you have to be mentally prepared."

"I understand," Guo Xiaoping immediately nodded and said, "Syria is the old man's 'sphere of influence'. We are trying to grab meat from the old man's mouth. The Syrians are not stupid. They know that even if they want to express their cooperation Place an order from us, but don't offend Lao Maozi."

Hearing what Guo Xiaoping said, Zhang Qihang was relieved: Comrade Guo’s mind is still very clear, and he didn’t start to get flustered because of the smooth progress so far. He nodded with a smile and said, “It’s good that you know it in your heart... I guess This matter should not be hidden for long, and the old Maozi will know the news soon. Based on my understanding of the old Maozi, I know that we are prying their corners, and they may come up with some tricks, Lao Guo, you Be more careful next time.”

Guo Xiaoping slapped his head, and said in a dazed and grateful way, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have overlooked this point... Indeed, the old man is not a good person, I will pay more attention to it next."

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile.

Does Guo Xiaoping really not know that Lao Maozi can play dirty tricks?Of course not, although the export performance of Sinotruk Group’s military trucks has not been very good over the years, as an executive in charge of military product sales within Sinotruk Group, Guo Xiaoping has never eaten pork or seen pigs running ?
In international arms sales, he has seen and heard a lot of various detrimental and dirty tricks!So after knowing that the group was going to sell military trucks to the Syrian military, as an executive in the Sinotruk Group who was responsible for the sales of military products and expected that this matter would eventually fall on his own head, he began to do something about it. Ready, after analyzing the possible competitors, Guo Xiaoping set his sights on Lao Maozi, and combined with Lao Maozi's habits, he gave a variety of plans and simulations, and he has been doing it these days Supplement and improve these programs.

However, even though he has a good idea in his heart, it is the leader who cares about him now, so Guo Xiaoping will not foolishly pat his chest and show the leader a stupid look of "don't need to talk too much, I have thought of all the things you said!" , Instead, it is the gratitude of "thanks to the leader for the reminder, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have overlooked such a serious problem".

While the two were talking, the news on TV said: "At 3:30 pm yesterday, a rice army squad patrolling in northern Afghanistan was attacked by a roadside Z-bomb. The explosion caused the rice army patrol 2 people in the team were killed and many people were injured, 3 of them were seriously injured. Later, the XX organization announced that it was responsible for this roadside Z-bomb attack..."

In the TV screen, several HMMWV military vehicles painted in desert yellow, which are what we call "Hummer" military vehicles, were parked crookedly on the road, and several were burning raging fire. During the period, some American soldiers or Panic, or exasperated yelling.

Looking at the picture on the TV, Zhang Qihang seemed to feel something flashed in his mind with a "boom..." what was it?

Zhang Qihang frowned, feeling that there seemed to be some inspiration in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.

Seeing that Zhang Qihang's attention seems to be focused on this news, Guo Xiaoping said with a smile: "Mi Jun is really unlucky, since they started this war, this is the number of roadside Z-bomb attacks they have encountered Already? Calculated, it seems that the number of people who died directly in the military confrontation of the Mi Army in this war is not as many as the number who died from roadside Z bombs...

You said that these American soldiers are also unlucky. The Humvee, the military vehicle of the American army, was blown like a magic vehicle back then, but when it arrived in Afghanistan, it was bombed one after another..."

Chatting with the leader, it is natural that the leader can talk about whatever is interested in him.

But he didn’t know that the speaker had no intention and the hearer meant it. Hearing Guo Xiaoping’s words, Zhang Qihang was stunned: the number of Mi troops who died in the military confrontation was not as large as that of the Z bombs on the side of the road... Mi Jun who died in the military confrontation Army, how many people have not died from roadside Z bombs?
correct!

Zhang Qihang suddenly remembered what the light in his heart was just now: anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle!

After being attacked by Z bombs on the roadside continuously, the soldiers of the United States finally couldn't hold on. They first modified the ordinary version of the "Hummer" military vehicle and removed the armor plate that was originally installed to withstand small-caliber bullets. , and replaced it with thicker armor plate and bulletproof glass, namely M1114, in order to be able to resist the attack of these roadside Z bombs.

But soon, American soldiers found desperately that even this kind of heavy-duty bulletproof Humvee M1114, which has been strengthened and crushed the wheels to the outside, can't resist the power of the roadside Z bomb, and the damn thing will still die , Those who should be injured will still be injured. In this case, the morale of the Mi Army has plummeted. After all, for these American soldiers, they came from the mainland of the United States to Afghanistan, where it is difficult to meet even a tree. , but it's just for the salary and wartime allowance, and it's not really intended to stay here, if you can show off your power like in Iraq, that's all, but now, going out for a trip may kill you No guarantee, who would be happy with this thing?

As a result, in some units, soldiers even disobeyed orders.

As for the Pentagon, the frequent appearance of Z bombs on the roadside is also a headache for them: Although a soldier is just a number on the roster, a dead soldier has to pay the boss a death pension. The problem is even more serious if they are only injured but not dead. The military is also responsible for the treatment of soldiers and subsequent living expenses. If too many soldiers die, the endless anti-war protests in the country will also cause headaches...

How to do?
After determining that the road of "heavy Humvee" would not work, soon, the generals of the Pentagon gave two solutions: first, develop a special anti-mine ambush vehicle (MRAP) that can withstand the explosion of Z bombs on the roadside; Second, increase cooperation with PMC companies.

These two methods are very in line with the old American way of thinking about solving problems:

Since the heavy-duty Humvee can't resist the power of roadside Z-bomb explosions, then we will specially develop a patrol vehicle that can withstand such explosions, so that your roadside Z-bombs will not be damaged. ; Of course, these mine-resistant ambush vehicles must have a certain ability to fight back;

Since the death of a soldier is very troublesome and more likely to cause domestic protests, let the military contractors do it. As long as the dead are not active soldiers, how many people die has nothing to do with me. I am a paying party A's father... …

Zhang Qihang naturally didn't think about working as a military contractor and earning money from the Pentagon—don't say whether he wants to, even if he wants to, the country supports it, but can the Pentagon agree? ——It was the mine-resistant ambush vehicle that inspired him: the mine-resistant ambush vehicle is essentially a 6*6 military medium-sized tactical truck and an 8*8 military heavy-duty truck. A kind of bullet-proof and shock-absorbing equipment is developed, and it is still a military heavy-duty truck.

Although the US Army in Afghanistan and the US Army in Iraq are the main users of anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicles, this stuff is really too expensive. On the basis of the 6 heavy-duty military trucks, a mine-resistant ambushes-resistant vehicle is also built, and then sold to military contractors who cannot get the goods for the time being... This business seems to be possible.

Looking at the ever-changing colors on Zhang Qihang's face, Guo Xiaoping was not sure what was going on for a while: Why does Mr. Zhang seem to be paying special attention to this matter?He tentatively asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang?"

Guo Xiaoping's words woke up Zhang Qihang from his own thoughts. He looked up at Guo Xiaoping and asked, "Vice President Guo, the military heavy truck that our group just successfully developed two years ago is the 8*8 truck. Say, can it be converted into an armored vehicle?"

"Modify the 2300 into an armored vehicle?" Guo Xiaoping was stunned when he heard it: "It's not impossible to change it hard, but why do you want to do it?"

Guo Xiaoping wondered if Zhang Qihang was bewildered: If you want armored vehicles, our country has plenty of them. What's the point of doing this?Besides, even if it is changed, who do you plan to sell it to?
He felt that he could not understand Zhang Qihang's brain circuit at all.
