Chapter 1054 An Unmissable Opportunity

In order to have a clearer understanding of the situation inside the car during the explosion, like the car crash test, Sinotruk Group also installed multiple cameras with different shooting angles inside and outside the car, and different from ordinary civilian vehicle crash tests. Yes, in addition to the multiple cameras inside and outside the vehicle, the status of the vehicle is also transmitted through multiple sensors installed on the vehicle. Even the dummy inside the vehicle simulates the real situation of soldiers as much as possible. All of them wore Kevlar bulletproof helmets, body armor with bulletproof inserts and tactical vests, just like real soldiers.

Through the monitor at the command site, everyone can clearly see that at the moment of the explosion, the vehicle was severely impacted, and the real-time images inside the vehicle shook violently, but whether it was the driver or the passengers in the vehicle , although it was severely impacted, under the protection of the heavy armor and the special impact-resistant seat equipped, none of the dummy fell off the seat, and the overall condition of the dummy also looked good.

Looking at the status of the whole vehicle, although it can be seen from the pictures captured by the external camera, because the explosion occurred on the side of the vehicle, the body has been deformed, but the vehicle did not roll over, indicating the huge space under the vehicle and the V-shaped bottom of the vehicle. The structure allows a large part of the explosion shock wave to escape completely, and is bent to a large part by the bottom of the V-shaped car. In addition, the shock wave is omnidirectional, which leads to relatively little energy actually acting on the car body.

Under the impact of such a strong explosion shock wave, the engine is still running, and the status of the gearbox is also normal, especially the engine oil status and heat dissipation status of the engine that Zhang Qihang was most worried about before. Qihang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It means that the shells of the engine and gearbox have resisted the shock wave of the explosion, and the shells of these two core equipments have not broken, which means that if it is in actual combat, the car Still can quickly rush out of the ambush circle.

However, these are all Zhang Qihang's own guesses. What is the actual situation, we still have to wait for the detailed test results to come out...

As soon as Zhang Qihang thought of this, the voice of the commander-in-chief came from the intercom: "The inspection team stepped forward to conduct a status inspection of the vehicle and the test dummy."

"clear."

"understand……"

…………

Along with the responses from various groups, Mustafa Muharem, whose mind was blank after being shocked by the scene just now, finally came to his senses. He looked at the screen in the monitor with a look of horror, then looked up at I couldn't believe my eyes: such a strong explosion, the car is still basically intact?
In particular, the dummy inside the car doesn’t seem to have been greatly impacted. Does this also mean that if the car is driving on the road in Afghanistan or Iraq, and there are real people in the car, then the situation is also Will it be similar to the current situation?If all of this is true, the price of $40... is really cheap!

Mustafa Muharem, who was somewhat skeptical about the technology of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group before, felt that his cognition had been greatly impacted at this moment: this car can really reach the level of the South African RG-31 anti-mine vehicle level of protection!No, it has not reached the protection level of the South African RG-31 anti-mine vehicle, but it has exceeded the protection level of the RG-31 anti-mine vehicle!
Mustafa Muharem's assistant obviously knew this too. After the initial shock and astonishment, he immediately tugged at the corner of his boss's clothes and said in a low voice: "Boss, this car... ...It's a good thing..."

"I know," Mustafa Muharem nodded for Unchecked, and also said in a very low voice: "Let's go back and talk about it."

The assistant understood: The boss is right, at this moment and this place is really not a good place to discuss this issue.

Only Zhang Qihang, who was on the side, looked at the exchange between Mustafa Muharem and his assistant, and his stomach burst out laughing.

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

On the way back to the hotel from the test track, Mustafa Muharem said to Zhang Qihang with admiration: "Zhang, it's amazing! It's wonderful! The performance of the anti-mine vehicle you made this time is powerful. It’s beyond my imagination.”

"Really?" Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and said to Mustafa Muharem: "Now you still think you can only sell one or two hundred cars a year?"

Mustafa Muharem's face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd: "This... Zhang, it's not that I refuse, but there are really too few users who need it. 100 to 200 cars is really the limit. It's..."

Almost an hour has passed, such a long time, enough for Mustafa Muharem to think carefully about Zhang Qihang's threat of "If you can't do it, I'll find someone else". After serious thinking, Muharem Staffa Muharjem feels that Zhang Qihang has no other better candidates besides himself. As for Syria, Mustafa Muharjem admits that their threat is indeed great, but when it comes to the relationship with Iraq , Those PMC companies in Afghanistan, how can a government be so convenient for itself?
After thinking about it, Mustafa Muharem finally made a decision: bargain with Zhang Qihang.

Zhang Qihang took a deep look at Mustafa Muharem, until Mustafa Muharem who saw it felt hairy and couldn't help but start to dodge his eyes, then nodded slightly and said: " If so, then I won't embarrass you."

"Ah? Uh..." Mustafa Muharem was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Zhang Qihang might have agreed to his terms. He was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "Thank you, thank you for your understanding... I would like to thank you You promise that I will try my best to develop our market..."

Zhang Qihang waved his hand to interrupt Mustafa Muharem, and said: "No, Lao Mu, you misunderstood, I mean, your ability can't meet our requirements, unfortunately, we didn't do it this time." There is a way to cooperate.”

"what?"

Mustafa Muharem, who originally thought that Zhang Qihang had bowed his head to him, was stunned when he heard this, and after more than ten seconds, he said with a look of astonishment: "Zhang, you... What do you mean by that?"

Facing Mustafa Muharem's astonishment, astonishment mixed with fear, Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "That's what I mean, the sales volume of one or two hundred vehicles a year is absolutely unacceptable to us. Yes, if your ability cannot meet our requirements, we will naturally have no way to cooperate."

"..."

Mustafa Muharem was dumbfounded. After confirming that Zhang Qihang was not joking with him, Mustafa Muharem finally realized what he had just thought. How naive and ridiculous: I actually thought of threatening Zhang Qihang?Hahaha……

Looking at Mustafa Muharem who was stupefied on the spot, Zhang Qihang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Of course, we are friends, so although you can't be our agent anymore, But when we find a suitable agent, I will intercede for you and let him allow you to be his dealer...Old Mu, I am sorry, but there is no other way, I can only do so much."

"..."

Looking at Zhang Qihang who was still comforting himself, Mustafa Muharem, whose heart was already in a mess, didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while: I have dealt with this guy for so long , Don't you know that this guy is a guy who will never give up until he achieves his goal, and has never been threatened by anyone?Why was he so fascinated by ghosts that he thought of threatening him?

Thinking that he was about to lose such a large amount of wealth, and most importantly, he lost such a chance to double his wealth, Mustafa Muharem was so annoyed that he wanted to stab himself twice with a knife, but if he let He changed his words now and said that he was able to complete a higher sales task, but Mustafa Muharem didn't dare—if he really did this, what would Zhang Qihang think of him?Would he think he was threatening him?
I can't achieve the sales target he proposed. In the final analysis, it's just that my ability is limited and I can't meet his requirements. But if I change my mind now, it may be a betrayal to a certain extent.

Despite the pain in his heart, how to choose between incompetence and betrayal was not such a difficult choice for Mustafa Muhajem.

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

After sending the distraught Mustafa Muhjem back to the hotel and chatting with him for a while, on the way back, Zhang Qihang asked Liu Jianfeng, "Xiao Liu, do you have the courage to go to Iraq and Afghanistan? ?”

Mr. Zhang asked me to go to Afghanistan and Syria?

Go to such a dangerous place?

Liu Jianfeng was a little surprised, but he pursed his lips and said immediately: "No problem, what do you need me to do?"

During this period of time, Zhang Qihang has been intentionally adding burdens to Liu Jianfeng. Although he has never told Liu Jianfeng why he did this, Liu Jianfeng is not stupid. He has already figured out why Zhang Qihang did this:
One is to train yourself, let yourself get in touch with more front-line practical work, and also accumulate practical work experience for taking on more work in the future;
One is to examine your own ability. If you can do all these tasks well, it means that your business ability is very trustworthy;
Another one is to accumulate qualifications for himself. When Mr. Zhang wants to promote and reuse himself in the future, no one can say anything about the piles and pieces of real contributions he has made.

And all of this is pointing to one goal: Mr. Zhang is working hard to cultivate himself and prepare for the next reuse.

But Zhang Qihang now proposes to let him go to Afghanistan and Iraq, which makes Liu Jianfeng sensitively realize that this may be a "final exam": if he can win and complete the business in such dangerous places as Iraq and Afghanistan Well, then what can Mr. Zhang say about his appointment next?Where is Afghanistan and Iraq?That is a place where life may die at any time. Comrade Liu Jianfeng can open up the market and the situation in such a bad place. Who would doubt his ability?
Therefore, after hearing Zhang Qihang's question, even though he knew that his trip to Afghanistan and Iraq was very dangerous, even difficult and in danger of losing his life, Liu Jianfeng agreed without saying a word, without haggling at all. , but directly said "What do you want me to do, I will try my best to do it!"

As for Liu Jianfeng's going to Afghanistan this time to serve the Sinotruk Group instead of the Huateng Industrial Group, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is to have such a qualification.

Zhang Qihang was very satisfied with Liu Jianfeng's statement: that's right.

However, he did not arrange tasks for Liu Jianfeng immediately, but said: "I don't need to say more about the dangers of Afghanistan and Iraq. You can see it just by watching the news, so don't rush to agree, go back first and then talk to your family." Talk to people, listen to what they mean, and if your family agrees, then come and tell me.”

Liu Jianfeng did not refute, nor did he poke his neck and say, "I don't need to discuss this matter with my family, I can make the decision myself", but responded honestly: "Okay, I will definitely discuss it with my family. "

Sure enough, Zhang Qihang was very satisfied with Liu Jianfeng's statement, and nodded slightly.

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

"Dad, there is something I want to discuss with you."

After dinner at night, while his mother and daughter-in-law were clearing the table, Liu Jianfeng said to his father, Old Comrade Liu.

Old Comrade Liu glanced at Liu Jianfeng, saw Liu Jianfeng's serious face, and nodded: "You go to the study first, and I'll make a cup of tea."

After many years of father and son, Comrade Liu could see at a glance what his son wanted to discuss with him.

And Liu Jianfeng's daughter-in-law obviously also knew her man. Although Liu Jianfeng's tone was the same, she could instantly hear something different about her, and looked up at Liu Jianfeng with concern.

"It's okay," Liu Jianfeng said to his wife with a smile, "I'm a little unsure about something about work. I want to hear what my father thinks. I'll tell you later."

Seeing that Liu Jianfeng didn't hide his intentions from her, the daughter-in-law felt relieved, nodded and said, "Then I'll go wash the dishes with our mother first."

"Ah."

………………

After brewing a cup of tea and closing the door of the study, Comrade Liu asked Liu Jianfeng solemnly, "What's the matter? Did you make any mistakes in your work?"

Feeling the deep concern and worry in his father's tone, Liu Jianfeng quickly waved his hands and said, "No such thing, Dad, don't think too much about it." We have developed a mine-resistant vehicle and are planning to develop the PMC market in Iraq and Afghanistan. We, Mr. Zhang, planned to let our group's unmanned helicopter agent in Turkey and Egypt do this business, but the agent's ability is limited. , can’t meet our Mr. Zhang’s requirements, there is no way, Mr. Zhang just wants me to go to these two places to develop the market.”

When Liu Jianfeng said that the company was going to send him to Afghanistan and Iraq, Comrade Liu’s hands suddenly shook twice, but he did not interrupt his son’s words, but listened carefully to what Liu Jianfeng had said before telling him Asked: "What is this PMC you are talking about? What is a mine-resistant vehicle?"

Liu Jianfeng explained: "PMC is the abbreviation of Private Military Company or Private Military Contractor in English, which means private military company or private military contractor..."

Comrade Liu's complexion immediately turned ugly. He frowned and said, "You mean mercenaries?"

In the concept of Comrade Liu’s generation, mercenaries are a group of lawless, lawless, violent, and murderous desperadoes. The meaning in his son’s words is that he went to Iraq and Afghanistan. Dealing with such a group of people?Doesn't that mean that his son is in danger of dying at any time?
He subconsciously wanted to express his opposition, but fortunately, Comrade Liu understood Zhang Qihang's character after all, and felt that it was unlikely that Zhang Qihang would let his son do such a thing that would most likely lead to his death, so despite his heart Anxious, but he still suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, waiting for his son to give him an explanation.

"PMC is different from the kind of mercenaries you understand," Liu Jianfeng explained to the old man at home: "These PMC companies are all formal enterprises legally registered and established in the United States. They must pay taxes to the country on time and pay their employees wages. , pay social security and medical insurance, and the employees of these PMC companies are basically veterans who have retired from the military.”

Hearing Liu Jianfeng say that these PMC companies are only regular companies, Old Comrade Liu’s face softened a lot, and he nodded: “Go on.”

"Well," Liu Jianfeng responded, and said, "There are many types of PMC companies, so I won't list them all for you. I will just tell you about the types of PMC companies in the United States that are active in Afghanistan and Iraq. The type of PMC companies I will deal with in the past. The PMC companies I will deal with in Iraq and Afghanistan are all regular PMC companies that have signed formal military outsourcing contracts with the US Pentagon..."

Comrade Liu felt that what his son said subverted his common sense in military matters, so he couldn't help but interrupt him: "Wait a minute, you said that these PMC companies operating in Iraq and Afghanistan signed contracts with the Pentagon of the United States? Can't it?"

Comrade Liu is also a veteran, but just because he is a veteran, in his concept, apart from logistics, how can private companies be allowed to participate in military activities?Isn't this nonsense?

Liu Jianfeng smiled and explained to his father: "Dad, it is a very common situation in European and American military activities to issue outsourcing contracts to PMC companies. There are too many people, and every time a few American soldiers die, there will be a wave of anti-war in the United States, which will make the big men in the Pentagon feel devastated.

In this case, directly sending some military tasks such as route patrols to those PMC companies in the form of contract outsourcing can perfectly avoid this problem-not to mention whether people will die, even if they are dead, they will die. They are also employees of private companies, not American soldiers. "
