Chapter 0725: Opportunity in the Cracks
After a long wait, the International Army Weapons Exhibition in Paris was finally unveiled. Merchants, tourists and media from all over the world flock to the Villepinte exhibition center, and the exhibition halls are bustling with people.
The employees of the Lehmar Group are looking forward to the merchants coming to visit and place orders. But it was not a merchant who came, but a group of European media reporters.
"Caiyue, you go deal with them, I'll hide. Xia Lei said slip away.
Qing Caiyue looked at Xia Lei's back speechlessly, and only after a long time did a sentence come out, "Use me as a shield again, ask the cattle to work, but don't give the cows grass......"
I don't know what kind of cow she is talking about, and what kind of grass is grass.
A large crowd of European media journalists poured into the exhibition hall of the Reimaa military factory.
Qing Caiyue greeted her, "Our Xia Dong is not here, I am his secretary Qing Caiyue, do you need anything?"
"Where did Mr. Xia go?"
"Sorry, I don't know. Qing Caiyue said, "You can ask me any questions." ”
"Miss Qing, I heard that your company's weapons are modeled after German designs, can you talk about it?"
Qing Caiyue was stunned for a moment.
"Miss Qing, is there only these three kinds of light weapons in the Leima Group? Some media say that your Leima Group is a dark horse in the military industry, is this your hype?"
Qing Caiyue's face turned blue.
"Miss Qing, I heard that your weapons have fallen into the hands of terrorists and caused great harm to civilians on the battlefield in the Middle East, can you talk about what happened?"
Blue Moon, "......"
"Miss Qing, why didn't Xia Lei, the chairman of our Leima Group, give an interview? What is he afraid of? Is there anything inside the Leima Group that can't see the light? Can you talk about it?"
A whole bunch of journalists, a bunch of embarrassing questions. Even with Qing Caiyue's eloquence, she was speechless. However, she also understands why Xia Lei asked her to deal with these reporters, the European media have always liked to smear Huaguo and Huaguo's companies, how could they let Lehmar Group go.
It will not be easy to get Europe to change its perception of China and its companies. Even if this is the case, the difficulty of opening up the European market can be imagined. That's why Charley avoided these journalists, knowing that this was the result, so there was no need to be interviewed by these European journalists.
"Miss Qing, why don't you speak? ”
"I don't know. "Qing Caiyue is already irritable.
Just as a group of reporters were besieging Qing Caiyue, a group of people wearing Arab robes walked into the exhibition hall of the Reima Group. The first one was none other than the Caliphate.
Qing Caiyue was worried that there was no excuse to get rid of this group of annoying European reporters, she simply left the group of European reporters, greeted them with a smile, and said in English: "Sir, is there anything you need?"
The Caliph looked around, "What about Share?"
"Our Xia Dong ......" Qing Caiyue subconsciously glanced at the lounge behind the booth.
Charlei hid in the lounge, but she didn't know whether to tell the Arab in front of her.
The door to the lounge suddenly opened, and Charlei stepped out of it.
"My friend. The caliph walked over with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness, it's been a long time, how are you doing?" Xia Lei also greeted him, and he also had a kind smile on his face.
His Royal Highness the Prince?Qing Caiyue was stunned for a moment. She couldn't imagine that Xia Lei had a friend of this level.
But before Shareh could say a few words to the Caliph prince, a group of European media reporters poured in.
"Mr. Xia, why are you hiding?"
"Mr. Xia, are you afraid to be interviewed by us, and for what reason?"
"Mr. Xia, I heard that your products are copied from German designs, is this true?"
"Mr. Xia, have you privately sold weapons to terrorist organizations? Have you ever thought about those suffering civilians and children?"
"Mr. Xia, I only saw the three light weapons products you exhibited, and on such a scale, you are not qualified to participate in the International Army Weapons Exhibition in Paris at all. I would like to ask, are you able to come to this arms exhibition because you sent money?"
As soon as Xia Lei appeared, the questions of these European journalists became more aggressive.
"My friend, what's the matter with these guys?" the Caliph frowned, "Do you need my people to help you get them out?"
"Thanks, but no, let's just talk somewhere else. Xia Lei said. Those European media reporters asked him a lot of questions, but he didn't want to answer any of them, he thought those questions were all fart.
"Alright, let's talk outside. As he walked, the Caliph said, "You know what I'm here for, I want your Cerberus cannon." ”
"No problem, when have I ever declined your order?"
"Hehe, don't tell me, I'll have to wait two years before I can get the Cerberus Individual Cannon. ”
"How come, I will give priority to fulfilling the order of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
The two talked as they walked, and the group of European reporters followed their butts and continued to ask embarrassing questions, even if Xia Lei ignored them, they would not give up.
"The guys in the back are really annoying, Your Highness the Prince, you go to my secretary to place an order, and I'll deal with them. He hadn't gone far before Charley changed his mind.
"Alright then, I'll talk to your secretary. The Caliph turned around and went to the exhibition hall of the Reimaa Group.
Xia Lei faced the group of European reporters, "Okay, I'll take your interview." Please ask questions one by one, I will just open my mouth, I can't satisfy all of you at the same time. ”
"Mr. Xia, is your weapon copied from a German design?" a reporter asked.
"Raise your hand, raise your hand and I'll answer your question. Xia Lei said.
The European reporter was stunned for a moment, but before he could raise his hand, a colleague next to him raised his hand and asked a question, "Mr. Xia, is it because the Reima Group can come here to participate in the exhibition?"
Xia Lei smiled, "You really dare to ask like this, aren't you afraid of being prosecuted?"
"France is a country of free speech, and people have the right to know the inside story. The reporter who asked the question looked awe-inspiring.
"I can tell you with certainty that there is no bribery in the fact that the Rehman Group is here to participate in the exhibition. ”
"How is this possible? Given your size, people are simply not qualified to participate in this weapons exhibition. ”
"Then I can't talk to you, if you have the evidence, then go and report it. ”
"Mr. Xia. The reporter who didn't raise his hand just now raised his hand very reluctantly, "I still have the same question just now, is the Rehman Group copying the German design?"
"I am embarrassed by your question, but I am willing to answer you. Charley pointed to the direction of the Rheinmetall showroom, "Then you are the showroom of the German Rheinmetall company, they represent the highest level of the German military industry, you say that I copied the German design, but I myself did not receive any accusations from Germany, nor did I receive any protests from Germany." You say I copied the design of the Germans, and the Germans are not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?"
The reporter who asked the question was speechless.
"Mr. Xia. Another journalist raised his hand, "The weapons of the Reimaa Group play an inglorious role in the Middle East battlefield, and a large number of civilians and children have been harmed." Can you tell me that you can? Why do the groups sell weapons to those terrorist organizations?"
"Your problem is already a very serious accusation. Xia Lei said lightly: "The weapons of our Reimama Group are sold to legitimate governments and companies, and have never been sold to terrorist organizations. If you have evidence, you can go to the Hague Tribunal and sue me, and I will gladly take my share of responsibility. ”
"But your weapons are indeed in the hands of terrorist groups, do you have any explanation for this?"
"As far as I know, the biggest terrorist organizations active in Iraq and Syria use the most American-made weapons, American tanks, American combat vehicles, American rifles, American ammunition, and even American Fan tank missiles, so can I say that the United States is secretly supporting them?"
"This ......," the reporter who asked the question was speechless.
Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I know you won't write good things about me, and I won't let you smear me, you can write whatever you like, and that's what you're best at. ”
Xia Lei left, and a large group of European journalists were still unsatisfied and unwilling to leave.
You can write as much as you like, I don't care.
Everyone said so, so it's a fart interview!
Xia Lei returned to the exhibition hall of the Lei Ma Group, and Qing Caiyue gave Xia Lei a thumbs up, and the smile on her face was particularly cute and sweet. Then she leaned into Xia Lei's ear and whispered: "Xia Dong, this prince friend of yours wants 20,000 Cerberus individual artillery individual artillery, this order is too big, I don't dare to sign it, you better talk to him." ”
Shareh was also taken aback by the Caliph's appetite, 20,000 Cerberus individual guns is not a small order, with the price of 50,000 US dollars per Cerberus individual cannon, the total price of the Caliph's order has reached one billion US dollars. This order is also the largest single export order ever received by the Rehman Group since its establishment.
"My friend, you're not going to let me down, are you?" said the Caliph with a smile.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll sign with you, but I need money, you have to pay half of my deposit first." ”
"No problem, I can pay you right now. The Caliph snapped his fingers, and an attendant approached with his mobile computer.
For the prince of the UAE, the problem that can be solved with money, that is definitely not a problem.
As soon as the Caliph Prince left, several merchants from South America came to the exhibition hall of the Rehmaar Group.
Argentina wants 10,000 Cerberus individual guns, 50,000 Hurricane assault rifles, and 5,000 XL2500 sniper rifles.
Venezuela wants 5,000 Cerberus individual artillery, 20,000 Hurricane regiments can't get in, and 1,000 XL2500 sniper rifles.
Sending away merchants from South America, merchants from the Middle East are here again.
Xia Lei's whole person is not good......
What if the Reimaa Group has only three kinds of light weapons? No matter which one of them is the most advanced and powerful infantry weapon in the world. The weapons of Europe and the United States are indeed very advanced, but the price is not affordable for everyone, and even if they can afford it, Europe and the United States may not necessarily sell it. But the light weapons of the Reima Group are different, the light weapons of the Reima Group are not only cheap but also powerful and invincible, and the countries of the third world cannot afford to buy large weapons from Europe and the United States, so why not buy more infantry weapons of the Reima Group?
In fact, this is also a development opportunity for Lehmar Group!
