Chapter 343: Free Advertising
The Middle Eastern man's disdainful words caused a burst of sneering laughter from the people around him, and from time to time someone pointed at the simulation model of several weapons and equipment placed in the Hanli company's booth, and the faint laughter was unconsciously louder, although it was impossible to hear what these people were saying, but it was not difficult to see from their demeanor and expression that what they said was by no means a good thing.
Seeing this situation, both Cao Xiaodong and Shi Jianfei couldn't help but feel a fire in their hearts, Brown Cao Xiaodong of the British United Technology Company was no stranger, just last year when he was preparing to introduce the British artillery reconnaissance school firing radar, he was ordered to have a period of preliminary contact with other colleagues and relevant British departments, at that time the representative sent by the British was none other than Brown standing in front of him.
It was in these early contacts that Cao Xiaodong and others were put together by Brown and almost fell into the trap of the British in the formal negotiations, if it were not for Lu Jiadong seeing the flaws at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable, although the superiors did not give Cao Xiaodong and others any punishment and criticism for this matter.
But Cao Xiaodong and other people who participated in the early contact all felt deeply guilty for it, and secretly vowed not to let similar things happen again, and at the same time, they hated United Technologies and Brown to the root of their teeth, and now when this big liar who almost made the country suffer losses stood in front of him again, Cao Xiaodong's sword eyebrows immediately stood upside down.
And when he listened to the ridicule and ridicule of Brown and others, as well as looked at the bundles of disdainful ridicule around him, Cao Xiaodong's eyes were even more fire-breathing, a row of teeth were clucking, and he couldn't help but want to move forward, but when his body was about to lean forward, he was pulled by Shi Jianfei beside him. Whispered Block:
"Xiaodong, what are you going to do?"
"Jian Fei, you let go, I'll go and theorize with him!" Although Cao Xiaodong said a theoretical theory, the palm that was still open just now had already clenched into a hammer-sized fist at this time, and then he couldn't help but want to continue to move forward. But at this moment, Shi Jianfei's strength was even greater, and his tone of voice became stern and unquestionable:
"Xiaodong, don't forget the discipline of foreign affairs, if you don't calm down, it will be a diplomatic dispute!" Shi Jianfei actually has no less fire in his heart than Cao Xiaodong, if this is in China, he doesn't need Cao Xiaodong to do it, he Shi Jianfei can fly up first without saying a word and kick the hated Brown in front of him, but now not only is it not in China.
And it is also in the Marseille International Exhibition and Convention Center, where there are many foreign guests, if some accidents really happen here. Not to mention that the normal arms business can't be done, and it may have to get into diplomatic disputes, because of this, even if Shi Jianfei is very angry in his heart, his strong reason still overcomes the impulse for a while:
"Also, those foreigners looked like they were deliberately here to find fault, they must have come prepared, didn't you see that he brought all the reporters with cameras on. Maybe that Brown would like us to do something out of the ordinary irrationally, and then he will take the opportunity to publicize it. We're going to lose our reputation!"
Listening to Shi Jianfei's words, Cao Xiaodong couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked in the direction of Brown and the others, there was indeed a reporter-like person who was following Brown and communicating with the Middle Eastern man, looking at him a few times from time to time, and occasionally picking up a camera to take a few quick photos in the booth. Cao Xiaodong is also a person who has fought on the secret front anyway, and he has already developed a pair of fiery eyes, and when he looks at that person's demeanor, he naturally knows that Shi Jianfei is not right, so Cao Xiaodong's steel teeth couldn't help biting a few times, and finally he couldn't help but scold angrily:
". These dog-day Brits are so fucking cunning that they are engaged in such indiscriminate tricks, since we can't theorize, is it possible that we will collectively be dumb and let these dog-days slander at will?
Cao Xiaodong is right, even if he refrains from paying attention to the provocations of Brown and others, but he does not defend the public slander of China's weapons and equipment, and once it is reported by reporters and amplified by the media, it will be even more difficult for him to gain a place in the international arms market in the future.
But if you go forward to theorize, in the face of the provocations and traps of the British, you will fall into it if you don't get it right, and then you will be caught by the media, and then you will really respond to the usual joke, and you will be embarrassed and thrown abroad, in the face of such a dilemma, Shi Jianfei's forehead can't help but ooze a layer of sweat.
In fact, it was not only Shi Jianfei, Cao Xiaodong, who was standing beside him, was not worried about these two dilemmas, although he scolded the British Yankees raised by the bitch in his heart, and racked his brains to think of countermeasures, but under this kind of anger, he could not think of it for a while, so he could only clench his fist and squeeze it fiercely again, and Lu Jiadong, whose gaze was slightly forward, was still standing there with a normal face, and couldn't help but say anxiously:
"Hey, Mr. Lu is really, the British are about to ride to the head, why does he still look unhurried!"
"Mr. Lu!" Shi Jianfei also looked at Lu Jiadong at this time, and when he saw that the young leader still had the same look as always, Shi Jianfei's face was also slightly stunned, and then said noncommittally:
"Maybe he's as hard as we are now!"
"Alas" As soon as Shi Jianfei's words fell, Cao Xiaodong didn't say anything, but sighed deeply
In fact, it is not only Cao Xiaodong and Shi Jianfei who have the same idea, but Brown, who is standing opposite Lu Jiadong, also has the same idea in his heart, but compared with Lu Jiadong's two assistants who have worked together for a short time, they are full of anger and a sad face, but Brown at this time is happy, and Cao Xiaodong and Shi Jianfei estimated, Brown is indeed prepared this time.
Not only did they bring their business partners who were about to sign contracts, but they also called a senior reporter from a well-known European defense newspaper in order to strike at this fledgling Chinese arms company from reputation, so that it would not survive in the international arms market, and not even have the least foothold; in short, since the British arms companies in China's domestic market could not get their due benefits, then the vast international arms market Chinese also wanted to earn a penny!
Because of this. When he saw Cao Xiaodong and Shi Jianfei's angry appearance, he quickly reminded the reporters of the defense newspapers around him to pay attention to Cao Xiaodong and Shi Jianfei, and said that because of China's face and long-term closure, it is very likely that there will be some uncalm and radical words and deeds.
Brown's seemingly well-intentioned words were heard in the ears of the reporter, but he felt that he had found a huge treasure, you must know that China at this time is still a country full of mystery for Europe and other Western worlds, and it is indeed a good news material to be able to use this defense exhibition to report in depth on the mysterious China's weapons and equipment. Therefore, the reporter was not afraid of Brown's reminder, but was more eager to try, and even opened the camera to take a few photos of the Chinese on the opposite side and the booth behind him.
The defense newspaper reporter's actions are exactly the effect Brown wants, especially when he sees the expressionless Lu Jiadong, Brown laughs secretly in his heart, this Lu Jiadong is sharp and smart when he is in China, but at this moment he is indeed in France, losing the home advantage, even if he has the ability, his ability will be weakened a lot.
What's more, you have to face reporters who have always watched the excitement and are not afraid of big things, you must know that even those sophisticated politicians in the West who tell nonsense with their eyes open are still overwhelmed when they see reporters. What's more, a young man who has never experienced this matter, as long as he asks the reporter to put a few sentences casually, he will definitely be full of flaws, and when the time comes, he will buy a newspaper on the street and take a closer look at this big joke made up with words!
Thinking of this, Brown looked around, the sales representatives of the nearby booth and the passing merchants had already surrounded a lot of people, seeing this, Brown's face couldn't help but smile slyly, and then whispered a few words to the reporters around him. I saw that the reporter froze for a moment, then put down the camera, nodded thoughtfully, and then walked to Lu Jiadong with a notebook. Straight to the point, he asked:
"This gentleman, I am a reporter from the European Defense News, and as far as I know, the performance of the Chinese-made weapons and equipment underwritten by your company is very backward, I don't know."
"Mr. Reporter, I don't know where you got that?" The reporter, who was still looking directly at Lu Jiadong, had just said the word "no", and the word "only" was still in his throat without making a sound. Lu Jiadong interrupted the reporter's words, which made the reporter who was asking questions stunned, but fortunately he reacted quickly, and soon returned to normal and continued:
"That's what a lot of veterans think!"
"Really?" As soon as the reporter's voice fell, Lu Jiadong's face showed an indifferent smile. In fact, since he saw Brown coming, Lu Jiadong knew that this guy was not at ease, and after looking at the Middle Eastern man and reporter next to him, he had already guessed Brown's intentions in his heart.
If he didn't make good use of it, he would be too sorry for Brown's kindness, and because of this, Lu Jiadong didn't speak until Brown couldn't help but encourage the reporter to come and ask questions, and Lu Jiadong took the opportunity to speak:
"However, I think the so-called veteran you are looking for, Mr. Reporter, should be a layman, because anyone who is familiar with weapons and equipment should know that the weapons and equipment produced in China are absolutely world-class in terms of actual combat effectiveness!"
When Lu Jiadong said this, his voice raised a lot, coupled with the firm tone, confident voice and almost perfect tone in his tone, so that the onlookers heard it really clearly, and at the same time, the whole attention was also attracted by Lu Jiadong at once.
And this also made Brown, who was standing opposite, couldn't help but be surprised, how could this young Chinese, who seemed to have no experience in dealing with reporters, be so sophisticated in the face of reporters, even a veteran like him could not be so relaxed and responsive in the face of sudden questions, how did this Lu Jiadong do, so Brown was a little puzzled.
But before he could figure things out, the reporter's eyes lit up, especially when he heard Lu Jiadong's sentence "from the perspective of actual combat effectiveness", which suddenly led the reporter's train of thought, and then immediately asked:
"Mr. Lu, you just said that from the perspective of actual combat effectiveness, have all the weapons and equipment produced by your company been tested in actual combat?"
"That's right!" Lu Jiadong nodded confidently: "The Type 78 assault rifles, gun-mounted grenade launchers, light automatic grenade launchers, Portable rocket launchers and other equipment have performed well in the Sino-Vietnamese border war, Mr. Reporter, you are a reporter of the defense newspaper, you should know that the major Western media reported on the Type 78 assault rifle a few years ago, the reason why this is so is because the firearm we developed has an extremely excellent performance in the war against Vietnam, and this is just a microcosm of our Chinese weapons and equipment!"
"I know! I know! I know!" After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, the reporter kept nodding his head while writing down in his notebook:
"At that time, the major media were overwhelming, and the defense circle even called it a 'whirlwind of Chinese firearms'"
The reporter's voice was not loud, but the people around him happened to hear it clearly, and for a while, the word "Chinese firearms whirlwind" quickly spread among the crowd of onlookers, and soon some witnesses began to describe the grand occasion of the major media at that time.
When they learned that this gun was sold out of stock in the United States, these buyers looked at Lu Jiadong and the small Chinese booth behind him, and their eyes changed from disdain to yearning and respect!
And when Brown saw the changes in the people around him, his face, which was still smiling contemptuously, suddenly stiffened and motionless on his face as if he encountered a strong cold snap, and the look on his face instantly became extremely dark, and a pair of blue eyes were even more angry when he looked at the reporter he had worked so hard to find, and he could simply breathe fire.
The heart said how did you become a reporter, I was supposed to let you wrap Lu Jiadong in, why did you say two or three sentences but Lu Jiadong got in, which of you two is a reporter, or did you collude to do free advertising here in good faith, the more Brown thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then he couldn't help but have a trace of ominous omen in his heart (to be continued......
