Chapter 1070 opens the market

Looking at Xiao Zhao who was smiling, the mercenaries and Stephen Carlyle all looked at him with displeasure: What are you laughing at?
Facing the displeased eyes of Stephen Carlyle and Yongbing, Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence, our company happens to have a solution to your problem."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, not only Stephen Carlisle, but even the mercenaries' eyes lit up, and asked quickly, "What can I do?"

"Leasing," Xiao Zhao explained, "it's like renting a car from those car rental companies in your country."

Ok?
The mercenaries who were a little annoyed by Xiao Zhao's laughter just now, when they heard Xiao Zhao say that they can provide car rental services like a car rental company, their eyes lit up: If it is really possible to choose to rent instead of buying, then then It couldn't be better.

The mercenaries understand this, and Stephen Carlisle naturally understands this better, and he even thought of more: From now on, the company can evaluate the degree of danger of this mission before accepting the mission. If the task is not too dangerous, you can use your own company's vehicles to carry out the task; if you feel that this task is more dangerous, the previous method is to ask Party A to increase the commission price significantly, or give up helplessly, but now, the company has I have the confidence to undertake the task: I can rent this mine-resistant armored vehicle to ensure the completion of this task.

As for the increased cost of leasing an anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle, it is entirely possible to negotiate with Party A who provides the task and pass the rental cost on to Party A. In addition to the flexibility to undertake tasks, those tasks that I dared not touch before now have the confidence to undertake them.

Thinking of this, Stephen Carlyle asked Xiao Zhao excitedly: "Can we provide vehicle rental services? This is a good way! Then what about the specific rental method and price? If our company rents for a certain number of days each year, there is No discount?"

"We are still discussing these things," Xiao Zhao said with some embarrassment: "But the general principle has been out, you can rent on a monthly, weekly or daily basis, the longer the lease time, the price will definitely The more advantage you have.

As for the discount you are concerned about, this is not a problem. If you are a long-term partner, you will definitely be able to get greater discounts and benefits than others. "

"Then I'm relieved." Stephen Carlisle was very happy, nodding repeatedly: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely attend your exhibition on time, and I wish your event a complete success."

As the manager of the company, Stephen Carlyle cannot decide whether to spend two or three million dollars to buy a car, but as an actual manager, Stephen Carlyle can decide whether to rent some vehicles that "better meet the mission requirements" for a certain mission, It’s just that there hasn’t been a company in Iraq that can provide this type of vehicle rental service, so people have to bite the bullet in many cases. But now, there is such a company that can provide mine-resistant armored vehicles for rental to various PMC companies. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the tasks of the companies that serve, everyone will definitely flock to them!
Stephen Carlisle is even sure that as long as this Chinese company proves its product quality, their car rental business will be extremely prosperous. After all, there is not a single company that can provide similar services in Iraq and even Afghanistan. .

…………

The successful invitation to Zhanma Company made Xiao Zhao full of confidence in the visits of the next few PMC companies.

And the fact is also the same. Those PMC companies that Xiao Zhao and Liu Jianfeng dismissed when they visited before, after seeing this 8*8 heavy-duty anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle in front of them, after being shocked, their attitude changed drastically. He was extremely polite to Xiao Zhao.

When returning to the company's resident to report the progress to Liu Jianfeng, after talking about the progress of today's work, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but said to Liu Jianfeng: "Mr. Liu, I can see that in a place like Iraq, everything like being gentle, courteous and frugal It doesn't matter, what people here look at is strength."

Hearing Xiao Zhao's emotion, Liu Jianfeng nodded and said, "Competent companies are respected everywhere, and the more messy places like Iraq and Afghanistan, the more they are respected, so Xiao Zhao, a week later The test must not drop the chain."

"I see!"

Xiao Zhao nodded heavily.

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

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da……"

"Bah ah ah..."

…………

In a large open space on the outskirts of Baghdad, the sounds of M4, M16, AK47, AK74 and other mainstream rifles that can be seen in Iraq can be heard at the moment.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a military conflict, but various PMC companies invited by the Sinotruk Group's Middle East branch are conducting protective performance tests on the two mine-resistant ambush vehicles of the Sinotruk Group. I selected 5 mercenaries from my own group, and used NATO 5.56mm rifle bullets, Damao 5.45mm rifle bullets, and the most common 7.62mm rifle bullets in this area, and went mad at the two anti-mine anti-ambush vehicles 50 meters away. to shoot.

After the shooting was completed, the mercenaries who watched the scene and the managers of the PMC company swarmed up and inspected the two test vehicles...

"The carriage wall is not pierced."

"The tires are fine."

"Bulletproof glass is fine too."

"I'm fine here."

"I didn't find any places that were penetrated..."

…………

Seeing such test results, the managers of various PMC companies either exchanged glances with each other, or thought to themselves: Although they had already predicted today's test results before coming here, and they only conducted the first round of tests , but when the results came out, they were still shocked: such a powerful bulletproof car, it only costs 50 million US dollars?
What a bargain!

It’s fine if it’s just cheap, and most importantly, it’s still rentable!

For these PMC companies, the allure of being able to lease this is extremely strong.

For a PMC company, to go out to perform a mission, it needs to use at least four or five vehicles, as many as a dozen or more vehicles, and it can protect the safety of the occupants in the vehicles and ensure the safety of its own company in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. The price of a bullet-proof vehicle that can successfully complete the task will never be cheap. Even the M1114, which is "skinned and stuffed" that American soldiers avoid, costs forty or fifty dollars, and such a huge demand, Even if the spare vehicle is not counted, it will cost hundreds to tens of millions of dollars, and the protection performance cannot be compared with the few anti-mine anti-ambush vehicles in front of us.

But if it can be rented, it will be different. Even if the rent price alone is a little higher, isn't there still Party A?
After seeing the ballistic performance of the mine-resistant ambush-resistant vehicles in front of them, the managers of these PMC companies are already looking forward to the next test...

Different from the expectations of the managers of these PMC companies, looking at the staff who were busy installing external armor plates on the car body, Xiao Zhao was somewhat worried about the next test, and he couldn't help but asked Liu Jianfeng in a low voice: " Mr. Liu, for the next heavy machine gun test, should we extend the distance a little further? Even back to the distance of 800 meters would be fine."

According to the previous plan, the next 12.7mm heavy machine gun test will be carried out at a distance of 500 meters. For this reason, Sinotruk Group Middle East Branch specially rented an M2HB heavy machine gun from the PMC company that it cooperates with.

There are heavy machine guns, but the distance of 500 meters can be said to be the most powerful range of 12.7mm heavy machine guns. Xiao Zhao, who was born in a military enterprise, is too clear about the power of heavy machine guns. He has not witnessed it in the test field. After seeing the test of his product's resistance to heavy machine guns, he was somewhat worried.

Liu Jianfeng shook his head, and said to Xiao Zhao who was worried in a low voice: "These tests were all done in China, so you can rest assured, Xiao Zhao."

After Liu Jianfeng said that, Xiao Zhao couldn't say anything more, so he put his heart back in his stomach, silently looking forward to the next test.

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

With the installation of the additional armor in place, the managers of the various PMC companies who came to visit the test retreated one after another. Some even pulled the distance between themselves and the test vehicle to a minimum in order to avoid accidental injuries caused by bullets rebounding. More than 150 meters.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, accompanied by the M2HB heavy machine gun's low and favorable "Tong Tong Tong..." iconic gunshots came to the ears of the big guy, at the same time, there were blossoming and flashing lights on the car body. The dying sparks—this is the high heat generated when the heavy machine gun bullets collide with the armor plate attached to the car body.

The sound of heavy machine gun fire only rang for a few seconds and then stopped quickly, but it was enough.

When the roar of the heavy machine guns stopped, the management personnel of the PMC company who had been hiding far away jumped into the car immediately, and came again to the two anti-mine anti-ambush vehicles that had just been "ravaged" by the M2HB heavy machine guns. After checking the test results, these guys gasped in unison...

"I really haven't figured it out."

Seeing that there was no impenetrable body in front of him, the manager of Company A was amazed.

The executives of Company B were also surprised after checking the hit site: "It really didn't penetrate, not even the additional armor. If there is such a level of protection, it is estimated that it should be able to resist the power of a 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet." Bar?"

"It should be almost..."

也有人将重汽集团的这款防地雷反伏击车的防护性能与米军刚刚装备的4*4“美洲狮”防地雷反伏击车以及南非OMC公司的RG-31“林羚”防地雷反伏击车进行对比：“乖乖，侧面都能够抵御12.7mm重机枪在500米距离上的直接射击？就算是RG-31和米军刚刚装备的‘美洲狮’也不行吧？”

"RG-31 and 'Puma' don't have such a good level of protection," a well-informed source immediately said on the side: "Our company just came with two Rangers who just retired from the US Army in Afghanistan three months ago. According to these two Rangers, don't look at the Pentagon and General Dynamics blowing so hard, but in fact, both the 'Puma' and the RG-31 can only resist the direct fire of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun in the front, and it is limited to The front part..."

"Understood, there is such a big engine in front."

"Yes," the informed source nodded, and continued: "Except for the front of the car, the cab and the sides of the car can only withstand direct fire from a 7.62mm general-purpose machine gun, and can only withstand ordinary bullets, not armor-piercing bullets. "

"There really is no way to compare with this..."

"Everyone, come and see, one of the tires here was hit by a heavy machine gun, but the damage to the tire is not very serious. I guess I can continue to walk."

"Really?"

"real……"

I heard that a tire was hit by an M2HB heavy machine gun, and all the senior managers of PMC immediately rushed to see the damage of the tire—if the tire can still keep walking after being hit by the M2HB heavy machine gun, there is no need to keep walking If the distance is too long, even if it is just another [-] to [-] kilometers to keep the vehicle away from the combat area, that is enough. After all, every mine-resistant ambush vehicle has two spare tires of the same size and specification. After driving away from the combat area and making sure it is safe, just replace the damaged tire and replace it with a spare tire.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone quickly saw the tragic situation of the hit tire: the huge special run-flat tire was blown away, and the tire was also flat, but because of the unique design of this special military run-flat tire, it caused This flat tire did not look like an ordinary civilian car building that leaked flat. On the contrary, it looked like a civilian car tire that still had some air but was severely deflated. It gave people the impression that this tire could last for a while.

Seeing the performance of this tire, the managers of various PMC companies couldn't help but smile...

When the people from Sinotruk Group Middle East Branch introduced to them that their tires can withstand the shooting of 12.7mm heavy machine guns and can continue to drive for another 100 kilometers, everyone was skeptical about this statement. I feel that the Chinese people are unlikely to be willing to equip this anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle with such advanced special anti-explosion tires, but the facts speak louder than words. After seeing this tire hit by the M2HB heavy machine gun with their own eyes, everyone can no longer bear it. , Asking questions to the employees of Sinotruk Group Middle East Branch...

Stephen Carlyle even took this opportunity to ask Xiao Zhao loudly: "Zhao! Zhao! Will the vehicles you rent out in the future also be equipped with this kind of tires?"

"Yes." Facing the eyes of Stephen Carlisle and other PMC executives, Xiao Zhao nodded vigorously and said, "In the future, no matter whether it is purchased or leased by everyone, it will be this kind of special run-flat tire—— Of course, if any company thinks that it does not need such high-standard run-flat tires, it can also raise it independently..."

Now, before Xiao Zhao finished speaking, the executives of these PMC companies shook their heads in unison: This is a life-saving thing, everyone will only dislike the low protection ability, how can they actively lower the specifications?

This is impossible.

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

For the heavy machine gun shooting test just now, everyone expressed their satisfaction, and for the next third item, which is the IED explosion test.

The IED explosion test is also the most expensive test in this test, because if only an IED explosive is placed under the car, how can everyone be sure that the occupants in the car are still alive after the explosion?

In order to make the test results more convincing, Sinotruk Group spent a lot of money: they directly purchased several dummies used in car test crashes from Europe!
Although the car crash test dummy looks a bit like the dummy model in the clothing store, the two are not the same thing at all. This is a high-tech product with a very high technological content. Real people conduct vehicle collision tests. It can be said that in the test, what the test results of the dummy look like, what the real person looks like.

Compared with the M2HB heavy machine gun shooting test just now, the preparations for the IED explosion test this time took longer. After all, crash test dummies are very expensive, and it is impossible to put them on every seat of the entire vehicle. For a crash test dummy, only after determining the explosion position of the IED, it is determined to place the crash test dummy at the positions most affected - the reason for this arrangement is also very simple, as long as these positions If the dummy in the dummy cannot die, then the dummy in other positions will have no problem.

In order to ensure that the results of this test can be recognized, the testers and dummy placement personnel this time are professional car crash test safety teams invited directly from China by Sinotruk Group!
Facts have proved that the arrangement of Sinotruk Group is not useless. After introducing the arrangement of the entire test session and the identities of these testers, the heads of these MPC companies were all shocked, and none of them raised any objections or expressed Opposition: They were also impressed by the rigor of Sinotruk Group Middle East Branch.

After more than an hour of preparation, accompanied by two loud bangs, everyone rushed forward, wanting to see the test results as soon as possible—although they actually couldn’t understand the state of the car crash test dummy, it didn’t matter, at least You can see if the car body has been penetrated by the violent explosion, can't you?You can also check the overall damage of the vehicle.

The results of the inspection made them very happy: Although the IED installed between the first and second axles had blown off a large piece of the two adjacent wheels, even the wheel hubs were obviously deformed. , but according to visual inspection, the vehicle should still be able to walk, that is, the kind of person who walks up and down like a person with a crippled leg. The speed of the vehicle must not be fast, but at least it has the ability to "drag the injured vehicle body out of the engagement zone".

For the managers of these PMC companies, this is enough, what more bicycles are needed.

After determining the state of the vehicle, what they are most concerned about now is the state of the vehicle crash test dummies in the car.
