214. The tentacles of the Sietala consortium
Seeing such a shabby booth, Chen Chen was slightly stunned, and then relieved.
I didn't plan to make any moves at this military industrial expo, so I can use the facts to prove to those media that I have no intention of developing weapons.
At that moment, he walked inside the booth and said hello to the only staff member.
Seeing that Chen Chen actually arrived in person and greeted him, the staff member was also flattered, quickly got up and saluted, and took Chen Chen around again, briefly introducing the situation.
Seeing the pioneer company's booth here, the media outside immediately began to press the shutter, and the flash light kept on.
The booth was very small, and it was finished in half a minute, Chen Chenrang greeted the staff, and then walked outside, facing the media reporter head-on for the first time, and dragged the microphone from a person at will.
Seeing that he seemed to be about to say something, everyone fell silent and waited for his next words.
"As you can see, the pioneer company was just invited to participate in this expo and show off the chips." Chen Chen stretched out his hand and pointed behind him: "Such a shabby booth shows that the pioneer company does not plan to achieve anything at this expo, and my previous promise will not change, and the pioneer company will never directly get involved in weapons development." ”
The words of this declaration also caused the scene to flash again.
But at this time, a sneer suddenly came from the side: "That's because the technical strength can't be reached, so I don't dare to set foot in it." ””
These words attracted everyone's attention, and when they looked back, they saw several people slowly walking over.
And the appearance of these people immediately attracted the attention of a group of media, and they put aside Chen Chen at the moment and rushed forward one after another: "Mr. Antonio, Mr. Benedict, do you have any special goals for participating in the exhibition this time?" ”
"Mr. Antonio, Mr. Benedict, I heard that Lockheed and Boeing have recently cooperated in development, is it true?"
Just like the one that treated Chen Chen before, the long spear and short cannon surrounded the two people behind him tightly.
Hearing the questions of these media reporters, Chen Chen also figured out the identities of these two people.
Antonio, chairman of Lockheed, and Benedict, chairman of Boeing!
However, unlike a group of reporters, Chen Chen didn't care about these two aviation predators, what really made him frown was the person who spoke up to taunt before, and it was also the other person who came with Antonio and Benedict.
Thomas Sietara!
I haven't seen him for a long time, but Thomas seems to be mixing well, his face is radiant, and his eyes are full of energy.
"Mr. Chen is also here to participate in the expo......" A sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Thomas slowly stepped forward, took a good look at the booth of the pioneer company, and then opened his eyes wide: "What are the organizers doing?" How to arrange such a small booth for the pioneer company? You know, pioneer companies are pioneers in technology, pioneers in humanity, pioneers in the world, and that's too much. ”
"Pioneering is not so easy to do." Hearing Thomas's words, Antonio and Benedict also walked slowly over, and a group of media reporters just followed.
However, Antonio and Benedict did not mean to ridicule Chen Chen, a giant like them was very humble and cautious, the two walked up to Chen Chen and politely stretched out their hands: "Although I am in the United States, I have also heard a lot of deeds of Mr. Chen and the pioneer company, and I didn't expect to meet at the expo, so I am fortunate to meet at the fair." ”
"Where!" Seeing that the other party's attitude was modest, Chen Chen also had some good feelings, and immediately stretched out his hand to shake with them: "It's my honor to stand with the two giants." ”
A group of reporters began to take pictures and videos again.
The handshake between the old giant and the new pioneer, the three of them stand together like this, there is quite an epoch-making meaning in it, and even, some reporters have thought of the title of the photo: The Inheritance of Giants!
"Only companies like Lockheed and Boeing deserve the title of pioneers, right?" However, at this time, Thomas made a big noise next to him: "Such an unattended booth really can't be associated with the word pioneer, I don't know if Mr. Chen's advanced chip has won an order?" ”
"Probably, better than Mr. Thomas expected." Chen Chen smiled lightly: "The pioneer company didn't plan to get involved in weapon manufacturing in the first place, so it should be here to visit. ”
"Mr. Thomas seems to have a problem with the Pioneer Company?" And the conversation between the two also made a group of reporters keenly capture the smell of gunpowder, and immediately turned their attention to Thomas, and dozens of microphones were also handed to him.
"Hehe, how can you have any opinions?" No matter how stupid Thomas is, he will not admit this, and he smiled casually and perfunctory: "It's just that I personally think that Mr. Chen named the company a pioneer, which is a bit exaggerated and insulted the name." ”
"But speaking of which, the two are both Nordic giants, and it is normal for them to have some friction with each other." But the reporter was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and an insider immediately asked a sharp question: "Some time ago, wasn't it rumored that Mr. Thomas planned to acquire Nokia, but then Mr. Chen took the lead, presumably Mr. Thomas must be upset, right?" ”
"That's just normal business practice!" These words were simply revealing Thomas's scars, and his face suddenly changed, and he glared at the reporter viciously: "The Sietala consortium did have the intention to acquire it before, but after conducting an evaluation, it was believed that the acquisition of Nokia was not in the interests of the consortium, so he gave up." ”
"But after Mr. Chen took over, Nokia was reborn, and now the stock has soared and the financial situation is very good." The reporter continued to ask: "Does this mean that the Sietala consortium made a mistake in its original assessment?" ”
The continuous questioning made Thomas almost collapse, if it weren't for his image in front of the public, it is estimated that he could not help but press the annoying reporter to the ground and beat him violently.
On the other side, Chen Chen was chatting and laughing with Antonio and Benedict, sneaking a glance at this side from time to time, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Make you crazy, don't you like to be in the limelight, just let these reporters greet you slowly.
Thomas really didn't want to entangle with the reporter, so he restrained his mind at the moment, suppressed his inner anger, and tried to calm his voice as much as possible: "This involves the trade secrets of the consortium, I'm sorry, I have nothing to say." ”
"Then Mr. Thomas, it is rumored that you have come to the United States this time on behalf of the Sietala consortium, and you intend to seek cooperation with Lockheed and Boeing." Another reporter asked another question: "It is said that the Sietala consortium has the intention of injecting capital, is this true?" ”
This question made Chen Chen "chuckle" in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that when he was at Grumman the day before, didn't Harry tell himself that Lockheed had recently received a capital injection from Europe? It turned out to be the Sietala consortium?
And judging from the current situation, Boeing is likely to be involved in the new project, so the competitive pressure is very high.
Opponents, but Lockheed plus Boeing and Sietara!
Such a strong combination is enough to make anyone scared, right?
Hearing this question, Antonio and Benedict also couldn't sit still, and slowly walked up to Thomas at the moment, stretched out his hand and took the microphone: "The Sietala consortium does have the intention of cooperating, but it is still under negotiation, it involves trade secrets, and the specific details are inconvenient to disclose." ”
"Mr. Antonio, Mr. Antonio......" A group of reporters did not give up, and wanted to dig something out.
However, at this time, Antonio was already a little impatient, and immediately waved his hand, and said with a pleasant smile: "Sorry, we still have some affairs to deal with, if you have any questions, you can talk to our press officer." ”
As he spoke, he gave Thomas a look, and the group of three slowly left, seeing that there was no other fierce material to dig up, and a group of reporters could only disperse helplessly.
Chen Chen stood in place, quietly looking at the backs of the three of them, and fell into deep thought.
The development of things is really a bit unexpected, how did the Thomas and Sietala consortium get involved with Lockheed and Boeing again?
Judging from the information previously known, the Sietala consortium participated in the underground organization before Zhao Xuanlong, and injected funds and technology into the development of gene-enhancing drugs, how could it participate in the research and development of new drones?
That's too long, isn't it?
But on second thought, this is not an unusual thing for a huge consortium, they have a lot of money in their hands, looking around for opportunities for speculation, and once they find that there is money to be made, they can't wait to pounce on it.
Whether it is a gene-enhancing agent or a drone development, it is not surprising that for the Sietala consortium, it is such a money-making opportunity, and it is not surprising that it can be grasped with both hands.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen took out the n9 again, connected to the Internet to check the information of the Sietala consortium, and found some discoveries in this investigation, in recent years, the Siyetala consortium has invested very extensively in the military field, and it is not the first transaction to inject money into Lockheed.
"The Sietala Consortium, are you going to be an arms giant?" Chen Chen frowned, and some vigilance slowly grew in his heart: "Whether it is a genetic enhancement potion or the development of advanced weapons, there is a trace of danger here." ”
Just as he was thinking about this, the loudspeaker of the venue exclaimed from the emcee: "Now, the secretary of the CIA's Science and Technology Division, beautiful Miss Rosalind has entered the venue, oh my, the venue is going crazy!" ”
With the shouting, the surrounding crowd also began to erupt into a series of whitting.
