Chapter 173: Playing the Big Guy
Anfeng planned to stay in Austin for three days.
It took some time to deal with the research and development of chips, in fact, the R&D team has a good grasp of this aspect, and all he needs to say is follow-up research. Graphene chips have great potential, and this success is only the entry of this technology, and the R&D team still needs to go deep and maintain the absolute leading position in science and technology.
In addition, the company's CEO, Benjamin . Hawley is preparing to hold a general meeting of shareholders to discuss the establishment of a subsidiary. The future of GP Electronics can be predicted, and it will be a dark horse born out of nowhere. Although the news is confidential, it is not blocked, and IBM, which holds shares in the company, has been informed.
An Feng is happy to see this scene, moving a small bench to see everyone competing for me to raise the price to the sky, just like the last time GP Energy was created caused a sensation, mass production samples have not yet been produced, just the establishment of the company has made a lot of money, so that the development work has no worries at all.
The only concern is how to avoid anti-monopoly after the company grows. This also has special departments to consider, and if it doesn't work, the two companies will compete, and watch the executives grab the market, you will live and die...... The shareholders behind the scenes are all the same people, and fighting and killing is just a game controlled by the rich.
The next day.
An Feng's plane arrived.
Before coming to Austin, he was worried about winter hunting, and ordered a Robinson R44 helicopter through the service of Amex, which cost more than 600,000 dollars, which was very cheap for him. The day after he arrived in Austin, the seller delivered the plane to the company, where it was parked on the lawn in front of the office building.
After the helicopter landed, a group of company white-collar workers watched their boss take off his suit. rolled up his shirt sleeves and drummed up the plane, having a lot of fun, subverting the image, and even flew in person himself, performing exciting actions such as sharp turns in the air, sideways, etc., so that these people ...... Amazed.
The boss didn't plan to get off when he got on the plane, so he walked around, said hello to his assistant Eve in the air, and left Austin. Travel to Rano County.
When you come to Texas, you can't visit your hunting grounds.
The maximum cruising speed flew for more than ten minutes. Once you've found the landmark of Lake Buchanan, a little south is your own hunting ground, which is lush with trees and dense forests. Further south, the riverbank is a different story. The land is flat. There are herds of cattle and sheep, and the two scenery come together in a very harmonious way.
Fly along the river. The north has a private bank of more than 1,000 meters, the river is very wide, about more than 100 meters, and it is not bad to put a few motorboats to play in the water. After that, he found a flat piece of land, stopped next to "Mike Fire", turned off the engine, jumped off the plane, and went straight to the gun shop.
And the cowboy old Mike came to a warm hug. The gun shop itself has not been here for a while, and it has changed a lot, and there are more types of firearms on the containers and walls. There are a lot of posters on the walls, all of which are propaganda advertisements for weapons and ammunition companies. In addition, there is a wall dedicated to the logos of various associations, and the elder Mike explained: "The venue is good, and the local gun lovers like to come and play." ”
"Congratulations, it seems that the gun shop is doing very well." An Feng said.
Old Mike smiled and said: "It's a bit unexpected, but thanks to Bruce's idea and generosity, carving out such a large area of land has indeed raised the gun shop by a few notches, and I'm considering whether to use the profits of the gun shop to expand some projects next year, such as moving targets." ”
An Feng said: "It's up to you to decide, you know that I don't care much about profits, as long as the gun shop can continue to operate normally, in addition, I am ready to contribute an income to the gun shop, prepare bullets and guns, I will come over with my friends to enjoy the fun of the hunting ground in December." ”
"Oh!" Old Mike seemed to remember something, and beckoned An Feng to go with him, "Come with me, buddy!" The last time I saw a good thing, you'll love it! ”
An Feng followed Old Mike to a small warehouse next to the gun shop in confusion, and smelled a pungent smell of gasoline in the air on the tip of his nose. As soon as he walked in, his eyes were attracted, and he stared at it with wide eyes for a while before he came back to his senses and said, "Wow! Mike! It's great! Terrible! ”
There is a classic army military vehicle parked in front of him, the body is painted in green, yellow, and black, black tires, and a bit ugly boxy, of course, some people think that this is a kind of masculine beauty, and it is very photogenic in the movie, it is HMMWV that has been fought all over the world with the US military.
It is commonly known as the "Humvee", but HMMWV has little to do with the Humvee as the people think, HMMWV is a pure military vehicle, it is prepared for the battlefield, the body is full of armor, equipped with a special self-rescue winch, weapon rack, weapon platform armor...... And the civilian Hummer is for ordinary people to have fun.
Old Mike professionally introduced: "It is the M1044 type armed transport vehicle, in view of the shortcomings of the lack of protection of the base vehicle, the armor has been strengthened, and it is equipped with a weapon bracket, which can be equipped with the same weapons, M240 machine gun, M2HB and so on." There was an increase in weight, but no decrease in maneuverability. ”
An Feng looked carefully, opened the door, and felt a heavy feeling of thickness, the door was armored and reinforced, and the windows were also thick bulletproof glass.
"The top of the M1044 is specially reinforced, and with the addition of these armors, it weighs close to 3 tons, but there is no loss in maneuverability," Mike said. ”
An Feng looked back at Mike: "Can it still be opened?" ”
Mike smiled and said, "Why not?" Why else would I buy it and come back? ”
An Feng couldn't wait to get into the car, the interior was completely different from the ordinary Humvee, the seats were very narrow, there were all kinds of communication equipment beside him that had not been removed, and they were piled up together, and in the middle of the rear row was a machine gunner's raised seat, which made the space more cramped, and even a little depressing.
The seats are hard, very uncomfortable, the steering wheel feels very poor, the central control dashboard is extremely simple, as for the air conditioner or something, don't even think about it, just wait for the sweat to flow in the summer.
Under Mike's guidance, he started the beast, stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared low, and when Mike was also in the co-pilot, he slowly drove the car out.
The comfort of driving a military vehicle can be completely ignored, because it is used for torture. The heavy body will give people a great sense of security, and ordinary pistol bullets don't want to penetrate the armor. The continued vitality of the assault rifle can be considered, and the heavy machine gun bullet it cannot withstand.
And no matter how much armor you add, the roadside IED (improvised bomb) can easily make it to the sky.
On the other hand, the M1044 has strong off-road performance, independent suspension, large suspension travel, and a 6.5-liter V8 engine installed, but only 150 horsepower, which is too strange and even weirder. It has a torque of 600 Nm. It can be said that it is completely used to conquer the battlefield environment.
Seeing that An Feng was relatively stable, Mike said: "Don't be so gentle with it, this guy is born to be rough!" ”
An Feng was encouraged to fight Maozi's soul possession. Heavy steering wheel a dozen. Clanged into the gravel pile next to it. The car bounced, tilted, and one side of the wheel was idling off the ground...... Mike suddenly couldn't hold on. His head hit the car door, he didn't expect the high = tide to be so intense.
After passing through a few gravel steep slopes that are difficult to conquer by ordinary off-road vehicles, An Feng forgot about the various discomforts of driving it and immersed himself in the fun of off-roading.
After playing for half an hour, An Feng, who smelled of gasoline, drove the dirty car back.
After getting out of the car, he stretched his body and said, "It's good, it's just too uncomfortable to drive, it's okay to play occasionally, and long-term driving is complete torture." I originally thought that the civilian Hummer H1 was simple enough, but I didn't expect the military to once again refresh my understanding of off-road vehicles without considering comfort. ”
Mike laughs: "If you want to balance off-road and comfort, you have to go to the Land Rover, or the stronger Mercedes G-Class." ”
An Feng agreed: "The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is indeed impeccable. ”
Mike looked at the roof of the car and asked, "Thinking about putting a machine gun on it?" ”
"Of course." An Feng readily agreed, no wonder it was a little uncoordinated no matter how you looked at it, it turned out that there was no machine gun above his head, and he was a little less domineering.
Reverse the car back into the warehouse, Mike called another guy, they reinstalled the gun carriage that needed to be installed on the roof of the car, and then hung up a pitch-black M2HB machine gun.
It's a great feeling to be a machine gunner on a fast-moving HMMWV, holding the machine gun in both hands, pressing down the trigger with two thumbs, and watching the bullets shoot out with a bang, splashing some rocks along the way, and destroying all the targets at the range, feeling like you're in the middle of a war.
Flying bullet casings, the thick smell of gunpowder, the shaking body, the roaring gunshots...... This is a hundred times more exciting than watching movies and playing games!
After An Feng emptied five boxes of bullets, his feet were full of yellow and clear bullet shells, and when he jumped down, he really looked like the effect of just charging back from the battlefield, real and exciting, An Feng also thought of an idea: "What if this is arranged as an experience link?" ”
"Good." Mike said, "I've thought about this too, and I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to bring it up first, it feels good, right?" ”
"Excellent! It's like fighting! An Feng said.
"So I'm going to try out this experience, and lately more and more shooters have been coming to shoot and launching this program while they're getting ready for the competition," Mike said. ”
An Feng nodded, but said: "But you have to buy a few more cars, I like this car, so I will turn it into a private collection." By the way, how much did you spend? ”
"It's yours, it's cunning!" Mike smiled and said, "I bought it from a military fan, 80,000 knives, and some of them are not too good, but they can be opened, about 50,000 to 70,000, as long as you use the profits of the gun shop to buy, you should be able to buy two more cars." ”
"I'll write you a check." An Feng said, "Just invest another 500,000 yuan in the gun shop, you go find some good military vehicles, don't worry about the money." ”
Mike said: "Half a million not to mention military vehicles, even tanks can be bought." ”
An Feng's eyes lit up: "I've been thinking about tanks, do you have any way?" ”
Mike nodded: "Yes, yes, but World War II tanks cost at least 100,000, and the current third-generation main battle tanks even cost 450,000, which is too expensive." ”
An Feng expressed his attitude: "Money is not a problem!" ”
Mike looked at him and smiled, "Forget you're a rich man!" Last time I saw someone sell a decommissioned M1A1 tank, 720,000 transactions, very cheap, but unfortunately it has changed hands. ”
An Feng wondered: "Isn't the M1A1 still used in large quantities by the U.S. military?" ”
Mike nodded: "The first batch to serve is now retired and acquired by many people through various channels. However, due to secrecy, its barrel will be drilled several holes, the fire control system will have to be removed, the depleted uranium armor will also be removed, and the gas turbine will not seem to be left. ”
An Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad, it's useless if I want a gun barrel and fire control system, and I don't have a shell to use, so I can make room for dismantling." ”
"So you're going to want to buy this type of tank?" Mike asked.
"Yes, preferably a third-generation tank."
"There's a model...... Sorry, I'm going to make a call. Mike went to make a phone call and came back and said, "A friend I know knows that someone sells an M1 Abrams tank, which is a little older than the M1A1, but it is in good condition, and the engine has not been removed." ”
"How much?"
"750,000."
"Just buy one and have fun." An Feng decided to come down.
