"Your Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is not a military enterprise, tell me, how did you come up with the idea of participating in this London defense exhibition? How can you be sure that their organizing committee will approve your application? Minister Qin crossed his fingers together and looked at Lin Hongfei with interest, "Also, do you know what kind of companies are participating in the London Defense Exhibition?" ”

"I specifically asked someone, although the London Defense Exhibition is a defense exhibition with military equipment as the core, but it is not limited to defense companies, except for the production of military equipment defense companies, all those who are related to the military can go to the exhibition, such as in addition to various military equipment such as weapon systems, security equipment, military equipment peripheral products such as models, military clothing, military boots, sabers, military food, etc. can also participate in this London Defense Exhibition."

"The exhibiting companies are all internationally renowned top defense companies, such as Boeing, Lockheed, and Lockheed. Martin, Dassault Systèmes, etc., I heard that the Russians will also participate in the exhibition this year, and it is estimated that the Sukhoi Design Bureau and the Mikoyan Design Bureau will go, and our company is probably the company that has little to do with defense and military. Lin Hong flew in.

"Do you know all this, is it difficult for your company to apply?" Minister Qin couldn't help but be curious.

"Because it's attractive," Lin Hongfei spread his hands, "buying military equipment is more profitable than selling civilian equipment, and we also have a few products in our hands that can be related to military equipment." ”

As soon as Lin Hongfei said this, Minister Qin's expression suddenly became strange, "Are you going to take your company's Hummer H1, that 8X8 all-terrain truck, and that power delta wing to the exhibition?" ”

Lin Hongfei didn't expect Minister Qin to know so much about the products that his company could have to do with the military, but if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable, although the products of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have not been officially launched, but they have already been hung up in the army, especially the power delta wing. My old man's army has been used for more than half a year now, "Not only these, but our company also plans to replace the high-horsepower engine on the basis of the current Fukang car, and convert it into a bulletproof car for senior officers in the army, so as to protect the lives of officers is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army!" ”

Converting a Beverly car into a bulletproof car? Minister Qin vigorously tugged at the non-existent beard on his shaved iron chin, and looked at Lin Hongfei's head curiously, he was very curious, how did Lin Hongfei come up with this method? While curious, he also had to admit that Lin Hongfei's approach was indeed reasonable, and senior officers did have the need to equip bulletproof vehicles. Even if it is not needed in peaceful countries, it is needed in places where wars often occur abroad, and according to the current price of the Beverly car, the future bulletproof model will definitely be much cheaper than the price of Mercedes-Benz, so to speak. Maybe it's really a good business, but at the same time, Minister Qin still has some doubts in his heart. "What if they don't approve of your participation?"

It won't be disapproved. Lin Hongfei smiled with confidence, "The London International Defense Exhibition has always had a tradition of small and medium-sized companies participating in the exhibition, and even small leather bag companies that sell collar badges, epaulettes and soldier nameplates, we can come up with real products, and the British have no reason to disagree." ”

The London Defence Show is not only a grand event for the exhibition of military equipment, but also an opportunity to promote London and the United Kingdom. As long as you can get along with defense, or as long as you can find an excuse for your products to be on defense, there's no reason for the British to disagree...... Even the most humble three-meter by three-meter outdoor booth costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, will capitalism be incompatible with money? Ha. It's a big joke.

Of course, Minister Qin knew that Lin Hongfei was not lying, except for Lockheed. In addition to Martin and Boeing, Dassault and other top arms giants in the world, in recent years, major automobile manufacturers have begun to appear in major defense exhibitions in the world, although most of the models they display are military models, but since Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can get military models, it means that they have this qualification.

At the first European International Defense Exhibition held last year, not only Lockheed . The emergence of the world's top arms giants, such as Martin and Boeing, and the presence of hundreds of small and medium-sized companies exhibiting for the first time, have shown that the show is also attractive to small and medium-sized enterprises.

Different from the impression that people think that the latest models of "aircraft cannons" appear at military exhibitions, in fact, there are not only large-scale armored vehicles and unmanned reconnaissance planes and other cutting-edge military equipment on display at the current defense exhibition, but at the same time, there are also small booths for making collar badges, epaulettes, and famous brands...... Since Lin Hongfei is so confident, he might as well let this kid give it a try, which can be regarded as paving a way for the international sales of the republic's military equipment.

After making up his mind, or having already made up his mind, Minister Qin, felt that Lin Hongfei could indeed afford this responsibility, and finally said his intention to let Lin Hongfei come over, "Comrade Lin Hongfei, if you let your company take the lead, what types of companies do you plan to organize to participate in this London Defense Exhibition?" ”

"Let our company take the lead?" Hearing Minister Qin's words, Lin Hongfei was completely stupid, pointed his finger at his nose, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief, "This kind of thing should be led by the Ordnance Industry Corporation, right?" ”

It would be great if the Ordnance Industry Corporation could take the lead, but the Ordnance Industry Corporation has just been restructured from the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry this year, and there is a mess of things, where is there anything to care about this? It's just that this kind of thing is not good for Lin Hongfei after all, Minister Qin said, "There are too many things to do this year, and the leaders want to see if you companies can also play some roles in the field of national defense." ”

"That's ...... Do some useful explorations for the country's national defense construction? Lin Hongfei hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously.

With intuition, Lin Hongfei felt that things were not so simple, national defense construction was a piece of fat that even a fool would know, and the export of military equipment was a piece of super fat that even God would blush, Lin Hongfei really couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the Ordnance Industry Corporation has begun to change its career to charity instead of engaging in murderous equipment? But if Lin Hongfei is asked to explain what is hidden here, Lin Hongfei is confused again.

"Do some useful explorations for the country's national defense construction?" Minister Qin didn't expect Lin Hongfei to be able to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a moment before he nodded, "That's right, but one thing can clearly tell you, although your company takes the lead this time, the exhibits organized cannot have progressive equipment, except for your company's own exhibits." It can only be body armor, military food, and sabers and other peripheral products. ”

I know it's not that simple! I know that the Ordnance Industry Corporation will not change to charity! Lin Hongfei pouted wildly in his heart, but it was undeniable that even if he just opened such an insignificant small opening for himself, it gave Lin Hongfei a lot of room to operate and held back the excitement in his heart. Lin Hongfei asked cautiously, "What does the ministry mean?" Is it true that our company contacts the relevant domestic manufacturers by itself? ”

"We'll give you a list of businesses." Minister Qin did not directly answer Lin Hongfei's words. Instead, he replied.

Sure enough, even if the meat is rotten, it can only rot in the pot. Lin Hongfei was not surprised at all by Minister Qin's answer, and even for Lin Hongfei, it was already great news to be able to get this news, he nodded and thought about it. He asked again, "Minister Qin, is there a task set for us?" ”

"Task? Of course there is," Minister Qin originally wanted to say that there was no task. But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind, since this kid said so, if he didn't assign him some tasks, wouldn't he be sorry for him? "Not counting your company's own, the ministry hopes that you can win various orders of at least 2 million US dollars."

A $2 million order?! This number is terrifying, Lin Hongfei is full of gold stars in front of him, and at the same time, he completely understands the hope of the Ministry of Defense for the enterprises participating in this exhibition: he didn't expect them to make much money for the country.

In their opinion, as long as they can earn back the cost of the exhibition and the food, drink and sleep in London this time, it is enough to ensure that they will not lose money this time, if nothing else, there will probably be some inexplicable leadership and guidance group? If nothing else, it will probably have to bear all the "funding" expenses of this work guidance group during the "guidance work" in London and even in Europe, right?

After thinking about it, this question was still not asked: everyone knows this kind of thing, and there is really no need to say it.

Lin Hongfei is very curious about what these leaders of the Ministry of National Defense think, although the army has been selling or giving away the companies it opened a few years ago in the past two years, but anyway, they have also experienced shopping malls, who told them that this kind of business is not easy to do?

The General Armament Department felt that there might not be much money in it, but Lin Hongfei knew how big the oil and water was here, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately made a request to Minister Qin with a look of embarrassment, "Minister, the companies on your list should also be among our country's military equipment suppliers, right?" Will they listen to the command of a layman like us? ”

"Well, boy, you want this command?" As soon as Lin Hongfei said this, Minister Qin understood the meaning of his words, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "But what you said is also reasonable, since this matter is led by your company, if you want these companies to be obedient, you must always give you a little power...... Just do as you say, if you don't stop the company under the command of your company, if everything is still the same after you give a warning, you can change the company again. ”

"Minister Xie Lu, Minister Xie." Lin Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief, with this Shang Fang sword, this trip to London was much smoother...... Before Minister Qin agreed to his request, Lin Hongfei was most worried about this, don't look at the current military industrial enterprises that are not prosperous, but even so, when looking at ordinary private enterprises, the leaders of these enterprises are still looking at people with their nostrils, as if saying a few more words to others is a charity to others, Lin Hongfei does not need such a "charity", he only needs a group of obedient "soldiers".

"Let's do it," got what he wanted, Minister Qin began to issue an eviction order, and when Lin Hongfei bowed and walked to the door, Minister Qin suddenly said with a point, "During this time, your company calmed down and did this thing, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”

We don't have to worry about anything else? What else? Hearing Minister Qin's words, Lin Hongfei was stunned at first, and the next moment, an extreme ecstasy surged into his heart.

————————————————————————

The good news he got from the assembly was so exciting that Lin Hongfei didn't even stop in the capital at all, and called the negotiation team with Uruguay on the way, asking them to inform the Uruguayan side to postpone the negotiation time by two days and fly back to Beijun City directly...... As for the reaction of the Uruguayans who received this notice, Lin Hongfei couldn't care about it.

"The Ministry of Defense agreed?" In the conference room, which had already been full of people, listening to Lin Hongfei's eyebrows dancing and introducing the results of the talks with Minister Qin of the General Armament Department in the capital, everyone was full of incredulity.

No one is optimistic about Mr. Lin's decision to go to London to participate in the defense exhibition, because his company's products are not compatible with defense at all, and more importantly, if there is no nod from the Ministry of Defense, this thing is simply impossible, but no one thought that this thing that the possibility of success in the eyes of the big guys is less than one percent of the things that actually let Mr. Lin do it, is this a miracle?

"Yes, Minister Qin agreed," Lin Hongfei nodded affirmatively, although he had repeated this action several times, he was not bored at all with repeating it again, and at the same time raised a piece of paper in his hand, "Not only that, Minister Qin also asked our company to take the lead in organizing an exhibition group, and the exhibitors will be selected from this list, of course, the final result must be reported to the final assembly and the general assembly." ”

Our company is still leading? Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, everyone's mouths couldn't close anymore, and even looking at Lin Hongfei's eyes was a little weird: The list in Mr. Lin's hand can't be fake, right? How can our company take the lead in such a big matter? (To be continued.) )
