Chapter 1055 Old Liu: Son, Dad supports you
Because they are worried that the death of American soldiers will cause protests, why do some military operations such as routine line patrols and other tasks be directly contracted to private military companies?After careful consideration, Liu Jianfeng's father finally understood the logic, and was stunned: "Can you still play like this?"

American guys really know how to play.

"Isn't it?" Liu Jianfeng nodded with a smile: "In addition to these patrol tasks, the Pentagon has also outsourced a large number of logistics and transportation tasks to those PMC companies. According to Mr. Zhang, PMC companies It has penetrated into all aspects of the military operations of the United States, and even training has a dedicated PMC company..."

"Military training has a PMC company?"

Old Comrade Liu's eyes widened again, shocked by Yankee's ability to play.

"Yes," Liu Jianfeng responded, and said: "Our President Zhang told me before that a PMC company in the United States that trains the air force to act as an imaginary enemy is very powerful and can even crush the air forces of some small and medium countries. This PMC The company not only has jet fighters, but even has its own military training base with an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers..."

"..."

Old Comrade Liu stopped talking. He felt that his understanding of the military had been greatly subverted.But soon, he came to his senses and asked Liu Jianfeng again: "Then what happened to the anti-mine vehicle you mentioned? Your boss Zhang photographed you going to Iraq and Afghanistan, and what are you going to do?"

Liu Jianfeng said: "Dad, you watch the news every day. You must often see the news that the rice troops in Afghanistan and Iraq were attacked by roadside Z-bombs, causing many casualties, right?"

Old Comrade Liu nodded immediately: "There are often such news, even their bulletproof Humvee military vehicles were blown up..." How fast old Comrade Liu reacted, when he said this, he immediately reacted: "Your Project, has something to do with this matter?"

"It's related," Liu Jianfeng nodded, and then explained to his old man: "The current situation is that American soldiers encounter roadside Z-bomb attacks more and more time when they go out, because of the roadside Z-bomb attacks. The casualties have almost equaled the casualties of the war. This has led to the continued rise of anti-war sentiment and protests in the United States and European countries. The Pentagon and even the military authorities of European countries are facing great pressure.

But for these countries headed by the United States, they either have huge political interests or huge economic interests in Afghanistan and Iraq, so it is impossible for them to withdraw their troops from these two countries, but at the same time, The pressure from home is also real..."

Hearing what Liu Jianfeng said, Lao Liu suddenly realized: "So they plan to outsource this part of the military operations to those PMC companies?"

"Yes, but not entirely. After all, if you rely entirely on PMC, where will the face of the United States be placed? How can the United States stand up as the signboard of 'the world's number one in military strength'?" Liu Jianfeng explained: "So the current book of the United States Two-pronged approach: On the one hand, they issued outsourcing contracts to PMC companies, and outsourced some military tasks to these PMC companies to control the casualties of the Mi army;

On the other hand, they are also actively developing patrol vehicles with stronger protection capabilities-don't you terrorists like to plant Z-bombs on the roadside, and our existing Hummer military vehicles cannot withstand the power of this explosion?This matter is difficult to do, but it is also simple to say that it is simple. I just need to develop a mine-resistant vehicle that can resist the powerful Z-bombs on the roadside. "

"Already approved?"

Old Comrade Liu was a little curious.

"Well," Liu Jianfeng replied, "Now the project of this mine-proof vehicle has been officially approved by the US Congress. They are called 'Puma' and 'Buffalo' respectively. It is said that the protection ability can withstand the power of a 20kg roadside Z-bomb explosion. .”

Old Comrade Liu nodded, a little curious: "Then what's the deal with this mine-resistant vehicle you made? It's impossible for the Pentagon in the United States to purchase your mine-resistant vehicle?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Jianfeng to answer, Old Comrade Liu slapped his head slightly annoyed: "I'm confused, you just mentioned PMC company, is it possible that this mine protection vehicle you made is going to be sold to these PMC companies? Can PMC company buy your stuff?"

"Dad, you are the best," Liu Jianfeng smiled and gave his father a thumbs-up, "The anti-mine vehicle we built... To be precise, this project was developed by Sinotruk Group... In fact, the development idea is the same as that of the Pentagon's heavy-duty mine-resistant vehicle, which is to provide high protection for the occupants in the vehicle. However, our design requirements are higher, and we must be able to withstand 25 kg of roadside explosives, which is equivalent to about 10 kg.[email protected]of explosive power.

And the reason why we target our self-produced mine-resistant vehicles on these PMCs active in Afghanistan and Iraq is because according to our understanding, the 'Buffalo' and 'Puma' mine-resistant vehicles developed by the Pentagon The price is really too high, the basic model costs more than 90 US dollars, a little more protection and attack firepower, the price goes directly to 150 million US dollars, and the "luxury top version" exceeds 200 million US dollars. Not surprising, and such an expensive price is obviously not something that PMC companies can afford.

However, according to our calculations, the anti-mine vehicle modified on the basis of the 7*6 medium-sized tactical truck with a load of 6 tons of Sinotruk Group, even if the special bulletproof and explosion-proof tires on the Type 92 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle and the anti-explosion tires on the helicopter The cost of the crash seat is only about 23.5 US dollars, and our estimated price is 40 US dollars.

Previously, Mr. Zhang meant to find an agent to cooperate with, but the effect was not very satisfactory, so our Mr. Zhang changed his mind and asked me to go to Iraq and Afghanistan to sell directly to customers. If this can be done, remove the transportation Costs and all sorts of other costs, estimating a profit of at least $10 a car...the more parts and accessories those PMC companies put on, the more we make. "

"I understand what you Mr. Zhang mean," Comrade Liu nodded and said, "That is to say, your Mr. Zhang asked you to go to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to establish a local sales channel for mine-resistant vehicles, right? "

"That's right," Liu Jianfeng nodded, and then said in a low voice, "It's also accumulating qualifications for me. After all, Afghanistan and Iraq are so dangerous. If I successfully develop channels in these two places..."

Old Comrade Liu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, and then said: "Then what kind of support does your company plan to give you in terms of safety? After all, these two places are so dangerous... Let's close the door and tell the truth, only people can live. Talk about other things, if no one is here, then don’t say anything.”

This is indeed a big truth that only a father would say. Liu Jianfeng also felt the deep father's love from his father, and he replied: "Dad, I understand what you mean...that's the thing, we Zhang Always tell me not to rush to promise, come back and discuss with you first, if you all support me to go to Afghanistan and Iraq, he is talking to me about the specific details."

Old Comrade Liu understood as soon as he heard this, he nodded again and again, and said with emotion: "You Zhang is always a good person, and you have considered so many details."

Liu Jianfeng replied: "Yes, our President Zhang has always taken good care of me, and also paid great attention to my training and promotion."

Old Comrade Liu thought for a while, and finally nodded: "In this case, then you can ask your boss Zhang, how do you think about your personal safety? If your boss Zhang's method is reliable, your personal safety will also be safe." If it is indeed guaranteed, then Dad will support you to go to Afghanistan and Iraq."

Seeing that his old man agreed, Liu Jianfeng let out a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Thank you Dad...Dad, my mother..."

Upon hearing this, Old Comrade Liu knew what his son was planning, so he gave him an annoyed look and said, "I'll tell her about your mother, but you are responsible for your own daughter-in-law."

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

At night, after lying on the bed, Liu Jianfeng whispered to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, I have something to tell you."

Liu Jianfeng's lover, who had expected that Liu Jianfeng would report to him what he had discussed with his father-in-law, nodded and said, "Well, what's the matter, tell me."

"After a while, I may have to go to Afghanistan and Iraq for business trips..."

Before Liu Jianfeng finished speaking, his wife became anxious: "Iraq and Afghanistan? Aren't these two countries at war?"

"Yes, there is a war," Liu Jianfeng nodded and said, "It is because they are fighting that we are going to sell our bulletproof vehicles."

Knowing how troublesome it is to explain to his wife what a "mine-resistant vehicle" is all about, Liu Jianfeng simply called the mine-resistant vehicle a bulletproof vehicle.

Liu Jianfeng's daughter-in-law was taken aback, and her tone softened a little: "Ah? You went to Afghanistan and Iraq to sell bulletproof vehicles?"

"Look at what you said. We are a car manufacturer. If we go to places like Afghanistan and Iraq, what else can we sell if we don't sell bulletproof cars?" Liu Jianfeng smiled and said to his wife: "Places like Afghanistan and Iraq are indeed a bit chaotic. But daughter-in-law, don't worry, since the company plans to send us there, could it be that they can't take this into consideration?
Zhang always sent me to develop new businesses to make money, not to die. When we go out, we will drive bulletproof cars and wear bulletproof vests when we go out. How dangerous can it be? "

Although Zhang Qihang did not tell Liu Jianfeng before that he would provide mine-proof vehicles for himself and others, in Liu Jianfeng's view, such things need not be said at all: since he went to Iraq and Afghanistan to sell mine-proof vehicles, what is the comparison? Directly driving a mine-resistant vehicle to show customers what is more practical?

"Is that so..."

Hearing what her husband said, Liu Jianfeng's daughter-in-law felt somewhat relieved, but after hesitating for a while, she still whispered: "Then why don't you go? Anyway, there is a war going on there, it is too dangerous, if someone Anyway, what will our parents and I do..."

"Of course you don't want to go, why not? The company is not an army, so you have to join if you are asked to join. If you say you don't want to go, the company won't force anyone," said Liu Jianfeng with a wry smile, and said: "But daughter-in-law, you have to understand that this is our Mr. Zhang accumulating qualifications and capital for me, which is essentially a good thing for me.

I went, and with this qualification, when Mr. Zhang reuses and promotes me in the future, no one will be able to speak... Anyone of you who has the ability will also go to such dangerous places as Afghanistan and Iraq, and transfer the business You did as well as Xiao Liu!

But if I don't go, Mr. Zhang will definitely be disappointed with me, and my future will come to an end here... Wife, you know that my ambition has been fed by our Mr. Zhang..."

"..."

Liu Jianfeng's daughter-in-law stopped talking when she heard the words.

Yes, my family knows my family affairs, and I know the character and temper of my husband best. From the beginning of work, my husband has been by Mr. Zhang's side, step by step with the development and growth of Huateng Industrial Group. In recent years, Mr. Zhang has put more emphasis on the training of his husband, and made him familiar with the work of various departments and business lines. According to his husband, it is unlikely that he will take over Mr. Zhang's class unless he can directly Go deep into the front line, but as long as you are familiar with a few businesses and have a few tough qualifications that no one can say anything, the position of a group vice president is definitely expected.

For Huateng Industrial Group, a super-large enterprise group with annual sales of more than 2000 billion yuan, the position of vice president of a group is more than just a prince?
But now, it's just a business trip to a dangerous but controllable place, to develop the market, or in essence to accumulate some qualifications. Of course, my own man can not go, but as he said, no If you go, the company will not say anything, but you will be branded as your own man who "cannot bear too much work pressure", and your future will come to an end.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianfeng's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth, and said to Liu Jianfeng: "If you feel safe, then...then you can go, you don't have to worry about family matters, I'm here."

Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Liu Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her and kissed her hard: "Thank you, daughter-in-law for your understanding!"

"Damn..."

"Hey..." Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Jianfeng quickly said to his wife: "By the way, daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry, our bulletproof car hasn't been developed yet, so don't worry about business trips. Half a year."

"Half a year?" Liu Jianfeng's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes and said, "Since this is the case, let's work harder now and have a baby first?"

Hearing this, Liu Jianfeng became excited. He turned over and nodded vigorously, "Yes! My wife is right, let's have a baby first!"

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

"Mr. Zhang, I've discussed it with my family, I'll go!"

"Have you thought about it?"

Looking at Liu Jianfeng with a determined face, Zhang Qihang confirmed to him again seriously: "You should be very clear about the social security situation in these two places. It can be said that there is no social security at all. Although you and your colleagues mainly The activities are in the green zone, but it is inevitable to go out of the green zone. The company will cooperate with the local PMC company to strengthen the security around you, but no one can guarantee your absolute safety."

Will the company cooperate with PMCs in Afghanistan and Iraq?

This means that the company will hire a security company to hire an armed protection team for the work team represented by itself?
Thinking of this, Liu Jianfeng's heart suddenly relaxed: So Mr. Zhang has considered everything.He immediately nodded and said, "I've really thought about it. As for what you said, there is no way to guarantee our absolute safety... These days, traffic accidents are inevitable when driving on the road, and there may be high-altitude parabolics when going downstairs. , Some people can be struck by lightning even if they walk in the wilderness well, so who can guarantee that they will never encounter accidents?"

This guy is in a good mood...

"You're right to think so," Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, "By the way, since we're talking about this, let me tell you about your business travel subsidies and the company's security plan for you in advance: business travel subsidies." You all know, take the sixth level.

As for security, before going abroad, the company will invite professional and experienced security companies to provide training for you to ensure that you know how to respond and how to deal with danger after encountering danger; after arriving in Afghanistan and Iraq, you will generally live in In the green zone, the company will also help you contact the PMC company there in advance. When you need to go out, the cooperative PMC company will provide you with full security services.

In addition, the company will provide you with two anti-mine vehicles as commuting tools. If you need to go out of the green zone to develop business, the field allowance will be doubled.

As for the PMC company, you should be more polite to them, just ask them if you have any requirements, and the company will settle the bill with them uniformly. "

The so-called sixth-level subsidy is also nicknamed "war zone subsidy" in some large companies with international business. Usually, this kind of subsidy is only available for business trips to areas where wars continue. Liu Jianfeng naturally knows this. , but I heard from Zhang Qihang that not only will he arrange corresponding training in China, but he will also hire a professional PMC company to provide security protection for himself and others after he arrives abroad. In addition, he will also provide himself with two mine-resistant vehicles as commuting tools , His heart was relieved immediately: Living in the green zone, safety is guaranteed; going out, PMC company provides security, and safety is also guaranteed; out of the green zone, not only the PMC company, but also the strong protection ability Mine-resistant vehicles, what else do I have to worry about?Even if you are attacked, as long as you are not too unlucky, your safety will not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianfeng immediately nodded and said, "I will follow the company's arrangement."
