"Boss, what kind of car is this?" Chiwett Ejiofor and his friends' eyes straightened as they looked at the huge, desert yellow, masculine, rough off-road vehicle that looked like the "Red Necks"!

After joining Fernandez, to Chen Geng's surprise, the first request made by the guys of Garrett 2000 was to be able to visit the "devil's claw", coincidentally, when they arrived at the "devil's claw", just in time for the first HMMV prototype to be completed and played, looking at the never-before-seen off-road vehicle that can arouse the man's desire to conquer deep in his heart as long as he saw it at first sight, Chiwett Ejiofor and his friends drooled.

For men, there are two types of cars that they love the most, one is a sports car, and the other is a powerful off-road vehicle.

If the sports car with soft lines is a hot, sexy and bewitching beauty, then the HMMV in front of you is another kind of beauty: Laura in "Tomb Raider" is a hot little wild cat, compared to sports cars, this kind of "little wild cat" can actually arouse men's desire to conquer women in their bones.

Not only did Chiwetel Ejiofor and his friends look at the HMMV in front of them, but the employees who have made this HMMV "claw" will also salivate?

This HMMV, this pure off-road provocation, is capable of arousing a man's instinct for conquering the wildest.

Chen Geng asked casually: "Do you know the plan of the Ministry of Defense to replace the army's current M151 off-road vehicle?"

“......”

Chiwetel Ejiofor and his friends looked confused: the Ministry of Defense is ready to replace the M151? What is the M151?

Also, for young people like Chiwetel Ejiofor who spend their days in the garage working on software, it is a bit difficult to expect them to know what the M151 is and what an HMMV is.

Pointing to the M151 military jeep parked not far away and I don't know where Bob got it, Chen Geng said: "The M151 is the jeep that the US Army is equipped with now, and that's it." ”

"That's it. Looking at the M151 military jeep not far away, Chiwett Ejiofor suddenly realized: "Isn't this a 'mule'?" ”

It is not wrong to say that the M151 is the mule of the American GIs, in the sequence of the US army, the M151 was jokingly called "Mule" by the American GIs, which means that this car is as hard work as a mule, because the GIs call it that, so that not only the GIs call the M151 a mule, but even the American society is used to calling this car "mule".

Chen Geng nodded with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to point to his car: "This is a new generation of HMMV developed by our company in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of National Defense." ”

“HMMV？”

"High Mobility Multi-purpose heeled Vehicle, do you want to try it out for a lap?" Chen Geng's eyes were filled with bad encouragement.

"Is it okay?" Chiwetel Ejiofor's eyes were a little excited, but also a little hesitant: after all, this is a military vehicle under development, is it really okay to go up and test drive it yourself?

"No problem, anyway, we haven't submitted this car to the Ministry of Defense for testing yet, and theoretically it's our own internal testing session now, so it's no problem at all. Chen Geng's smile was particularly bad: he didn't believe that a group of otaku from Garrett 2000 could stand to take part in a test drive of a military off-road vehicle that was still in the development stage.

In fact, a group of otaku have long been itching in their hearts, test driving a military off-road vehicle that is in the research and development stage, and it is now 1979, if it was 2018, everyone would have picked up their mobile phones and started taking selfies, by the way, write a sentence below "Today I am honored to receive the invitation of the group company to test drive a new generation of HMMV military vehicles under development" and then quickly sent it to the circle of friends.

After making sure that it was really okay, a group of otaku suddenly went crazy.

It was also at this time that Rosemary came over with a folder: "Boss, what you asked me to investigate has a result, and now the vast majority of computer companies, including Apple, Commander, and Del...... Almost none of these companies have their own stores, and they almost all complete the entire sales process through advertisements in newspapers and telesales, except for the two giants DEC and IBM, the computer companies with their own physical stores are almost equal to zero, and even DEC, they have less than 100 sales stores in the United States. ”

"So little?" Chen Geng was a little surprised.

"Less?" Rosemary didn't think so, she said as a matter of course: "The computer is facing commercial customers, and this thing is not Dongying's home appliances and audio, and it needs to set up a sales and experience network in every city, this thing is a high-tech ......."

Without waiting for Rosemary to finish speaking, Chen Geng asked rhetorically: "But if it is you, when you feel that you must buy a computer in order to meet the needs of the company's development and business, do you want to see what this computer looks like with your own eyes and listen to the salesperson personally answer the questions in your heart, or can you just feel more at ease through advertising pictures in newspapers and simple communication on the phone?"

"Uh......"

Faced with this problem, Rosemary has to admit that what her boss said really has some truth, if she can choose, even if she doesn't understand anything, she hopes to see and experience it for herself, if nothing else, just to be able to feel at ease.

After all, even the cheapest Apple I can cost thousands of dollars, and a DEC minicomputer starts at least $10,000, which is a big expense for any small or medium-sized business, and it's certainly good to experience it for yourself, even if you don't know anything about computers.

"So," Chen Geng said with a smile, "what we want to do is actually to give these potential users a chance to experience and feel for themselves." ”

After arriving in Silicon Valley, Chen Geng was surprised to find that there is no computer hypermarket in the United States, and the sale of computers is entirely through telemarketing through newspaper advertising.

Chen Geng was shocked at the time: it! Is this okay?

Before the advent of the mobile Internet era, that is, before 09 or 10 years, the business of computer hypermarkets was booming, Chen Geng had a personal experience, you go to any city's computer hypermarkets, science and technology cities, whether it is Bainaohui or Hongtu triplets, whether it is Huaqiang or science and technology city, it is definitely crowded. Rubbing shoulders with each other, relying on a computer city can support dozens of small logistics companies that run special lines in the province, since the Americans have not yet done the supporting industry of the computer industry such as the computer city, what are you polite to them?

As an elite among professional managers, there is no need for Chen Geng to say too much, just a little click, Rosemary instantly realized how big a business this is: to put it mildly, if the operation is good, I am afraid that the money earned is not less than the money made by selling second-hand cars now.

On top of that, this business sounds much higher than selling used cars.

Rosemary immediately nodded: "OK, I know what to do...... Boss, what do you want from this hypermarket?"

Chen Geng really has several requirements: "First, the location of the hypermarket should be located in the core business district as much as possible; second, the hypermarket should be rented and purchased as much as possible; and third, among these potential customers who are interested in buying computers, there are very few who really understand computers, so when buying a hypermarket, there must be a special consulting department to provide customers with consulting and customized services." ”

Rosemary frowned.

She can understand the first and third requirements of her boss, but why is the second point, why does the boss rent instead of buying?

"Oh, I just hate those damn landlords," Chen Geng said hatefully, "These bastards are like vampires, every time they see our business getting better, these damn bastards will definitely raise the rent." ”

Rosemary: "......"

Well, that's a reason, and it's a powerful one.

For those damn landlords, seeing the tenants who rent their own properties do their business and increase the rent after it grows bigger, it has almost become the only way for them to suck the blood of the tenants, and these landlords raise the rent every time just to the extent that it makes you uncomfortable but gritted your teeth acceptably, which is indeed a headache - if you sign a "rent-to-buy" agreement, as long as you pay the rent for a certain number of years, the property is the company's own, which is also a good thing.

A low and powerful roar of a diesel engine quickly approached from afar, and finally stopped beside Chen Geng and Rosemary with a "creak", and Chiwetel Ejioo's excited flushed face poked out of the window and shouted: "Boss, this car is too exciting!"

Chen Geng smiled and asked, "Think it's good?"

"It's not bad, compared to it, other off-road vehicles on the market are just a piece of shit!" Excited, Chiwett Ejiofor said a few foul words: "Boss, will you launch a civilian version of this car?"

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded: "Regardless of whether it can pass the test of the Ministry of Defense or not, there will definitely be a civilian version." ”

Not only will he launch a civilian version, but he also has a whole set of plans in mind to promote the civilian version of the HMMV, of course, he will definitely not repeat the mistakes of AM General in the civilian version of the HMMV...... In Chen Geng's view, AM General's promotion plan for the civilian version of HMMV, except for the fact that hummer is famous, the other promotion and marketing are simply no different from shit.

"Yes! If you're pushing for a civilian version, I'll have to buy one!" Chiwetel Ejiofor flicked his fist hard.
