Chapter 396: Little Abacus

Chen Geng's solution was quite simple and crude: Didn't the Mobil workers worry that they would be reimbursed by stray bullets and bomb fragments along the way?

Simple, I'll make you an impenetrable turtle shell!

The idea comes from the U.S. military's large number of anti-mine anti-ambush vehicles on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, which are based on the new equipment modified by the armor of military trucks, which has increased the protection level of the U.S. military by more than an order of magnitude.

Chen Geng's approach is to borrow the idea of the US military's anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle: based on a military truck with a high-torque diesel engine and a large reduction ratio, the car is equipped with a thick turtle shell to protect the safety of the occupants inside.

Because of the tight time and short construction period, no one cares about what is beautiful and human-machine efficacy, and under the premise of ensuring the protection ability and looking no obvious difference from an ordinary civilian truck at a glance, all the construction speed is the main:

The edges and corners cut out of the steel plate? That's it, people have eyes that tell you not to touch this kind of place;

The connection of the steel plate of the cargo box does not need to see all the gaps are welded, and a welding point is made at intervals, and the welding rod also costs money.

How do Mobil oil workers sit? Well, just like our domestic military trucks, arrange two benches on both sides of the cargo board, and just have a place to sit, what kind of bicycle do you want?;

Will the carriage surrounded by steel plates on all sides make the workers inside too depressed? Simple, cut out two square holes in the top covered steel plate, it will be regarded as a skylight, and install two more light bulbs, OK, the problem is solved;

How to solve the occupant safety problem in the cab? Make a few steel plates to enclose the door and the front, and cut a few seams on the steel plate in front to ensure the driver's line of sight;

What should I do if I am attacked on the road? This one...... This one...... Didn't you have security guards from the security company in your car, and they all carried guns, so if we cut a few holes in the cargo board on the side, they would be shooting holes......

Under Chen Geng's extremely simple and crude solution, it didn't even take 4 days for the car that was used as a model to complete the modification.

Looking at the modified car in front of him adhering to the "simple and practical" style, Jamie Evans's face has been wrinkled into a bun skin, pointing to the car in front of him that is difficult to see, Jamie Evans is like swallowing two mouthfuls of hot Xiang and can't look at it: "Chen, this is your product?" ”

He had the feeling that he had been trapped.

Chen Geng did not directly answer Jamiry Evans's question, but pointed to an AK-47 casually thrown not far away and said to him, "Try two shots." ”

"I don't have any doubts about the protection ability of this car at all," Jamie Evans smiled wryly, after seeing the protection level of these bulletproof steel plates transported by Chen Geng, he did not doubt the protection ability of this car at all, which made Jamie Evans helpless: "The comfort of this car is too poor, I am worried that the workers are unwilling to ......"

Before Jamie Evans could finish speaking, Chen Geng interrupted him and said, "It's understandable that people refuse to go to work because of safety issues, but the poor comfort of transportation is not a reason for workers to refuse to go to work, right?" ”

"Huh?" Jamie Evans was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "You're right! ”

Workers refuse to go to work on safety grounds, whether it is Jamie Evans or Mobil Oil, there is nothing good to do with these workers, but when the safety problem is solved, if the workers still refuse to go to work under the pretext of the comfort of transportation, whether it is Jamie Evans or Mobil Oil, there are dozens or hundreds of ways to clean up these workers to obey.

Realizing this, Jamie Evans, who had been straining his face for the past few days, finally showed a smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Chen Geng, saying, "Chen, thank you, you have helped me a lot." ”

"You're welcome, customer satisfaction is our goal," Chen Geng said with a grin, "Then the next contract ......"

"Of course no problem!" Jamiri Evans said without hesitation, "But I have a few requests. ”

"You say."

"Forget about this car," said Jamie Evans, pointing to the rugged, bulletproof version of the truck that had just been completed, "but the next three, I wanted to be a little more refined." ”

"Of course there is no problem," Chen Geng took out a few pieces of paper as if he was playing a trick: "This is the rendering of the exterior and interior of the next three cars I designed, you can take a look." ”

Design renderings of the next three cars? Jamie Evans was a little surprised: No, Chen Geng even made renderings?

There is the first modified bulletproof truck that uses the word "ugly" to describe it as a compliment, before taking these pieces of paper, Jamie Evans actually has no hope for the car designed by Chen Geng, but when he saw the renderings on the first paper, Jamie Evans was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes twice, Jamie Evans looked up at Chen Geng in surprise and said, "This is ......"

Chen Geng didn't answer, but continued: "You can continue to look down. ”

Without further ado, Jamie Evans looked through the sample below.

At first, he didn't have much hope for Chen Geng's aesthetics, but when the next few pictures appeared under his nose one after another, Jamie Evans suddenly realized one thing: this is a good business!

Think about it, there are now at least dozens of defense companies on track that have accepted employment from Iraq and Iran, and in addition to these legal defense companies in each country, there are many mercenary squads, whether they are mercenary squads or regular defense companies, their protection force is almost equal to zero.

For Iran and Iraq, the two countries that are made up, of course, they don't look down on Chen Geng's "earthen armored vehicle", but think about it, if this kind of modified armored vehicle with a level of protection equivalent to an ordinary armored vehicle and a certain amount of firepower but only one-third or even one-quarter of the price of an ordinary armored vehicle appears in front of them, will these defense companies and mercenary squads grit their teeth and buy one?

That's a certainty!

I've been here for seven or eight years, and I know almost all the defense companies, if I come forward to sell them such a car...... My God! You are definitely developed!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Jamie Evans handed over the renderings to Chen Geng as calmly as possible, and said, "Yes, Chen, I am very optimistic about your design, I think we can cooperate." ”

"Cooperation?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "How to cooperate?" ”

"Simple, we can open a company, just do the modification of this bulletproof model, I provide the prototype of the modified car, and I will be responsible for the sales, you will be responsible for the production and raw materials, remove the cost, I will give you 50,000 US dollars for each car produced, how about it? I guarantee you'll make at least $2 million a year. ”

This guy's abacus was quite loud, and Chen Geng smiled: "No! ”

No? Jamie Evans was momentarily stunned, just looking at Chen Geng's bright smile, he thought that Chen Geng couldn't wait to agree, but the result turned out to be "No!" ”?

"Why?" Jamie Evans was a little anxious: "If you think it's ......"

"Because I plan to do this business by myself," Chen Geng looked at Jamie Evans with a smile, how could Jamie Evans's little caution be hidden from Chen Geng: "Of course, Evans, we are friends, if you are willing to come to my company and take a part-time job, you don't bring an order for a car, I will give you a commission of 10,000 US dollars, how about it?" ”

Jamie Evans' head immediately shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, it can't be, I'm busy with work, I don't have time for this." ”

Jamie Evans refused, Chen Geng didn't feel too surprised, these few days of contact, let Chen Geng roughly understand Jamie Evans' income, although the details are not clear, but roughly his annual income is between $1 million and $1.5 million, which is more than $1 million in 1987, which is a huge amount of money even in the eyes of Americans, a person with such a large amount of wealth, naturally it is impossible to be so easily "seduced" by his own words, but it doesn't matter, The greed in Jamiry Evans' eyes just now did not hide from Chen Geng, since you want this money, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Geng said to Jamie Evans: "Then I can only say, it's a pity, if you change your mind, you are welcome to come to me at any time, of course, if you have meaning about this commission amount, you are also welcome to come to me at any time." ”

After speaking, Chen Geng said intentionally or unintentionally: "Anyway, you can easily get orders for dozens of cars, which is the income of tens or even millions of dollars, isn't it?" You see, you don't have to do anything, you don't need to invest anything, just a few phone calls and millions of dollars are earned. ”

Chen Geng's words were like a sledgehammer, slamming heavily on Jamie Evans' head: This is tens or even millions of dollars!

This also made him subconsciously start to think about whether it was worth it, but before he could start to think deeply, he heard someone greet him loudly: "Hey, Evans, I heard you got a new thing?" Shit, what the hell is this shit-like thing? Don't tell me it's a car! (To be continued.) )
