Chapter 38: The First Day of the Harvest
More and more people came to the Bofors booth for consultation, so much so that the booth was surrounded by water! And a lot of journalists also came to hear the news, which is a good piece of news.
The Bofors crew was so busy that even the owner, Carl, was on his own. The details of Bofors' free new assault rifle campaign were posted around the booth, and the membership system was written into a flyer that was distributed by the staff to visitors who came to inquire.
A beautiful Western reporter finally squeezed into the front of the booth, and Philip saw that it was Christina's reporter.
Christina panted and greeted Philip: "Hi! Mr. Philip, we meet again! ”
Philip nodded and smiled, "Miss Christina, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The last report was very good, and I should thank you very much! ”
Christina said resentfully: "But you have never contacted anyone again, are you afraid that Miss Anna will be jealous, or will you forget me at all?" ”
Philip looked at Anna, who was still busy, as if she hadn't noticed it yet, and then said embarrassedly, "I think you've misunderstood, Miss Christina." During this time, we didn't stop to rest at all in order to prepare for the defense exhibition, and I was also responsible for the development of our company's new product, the Vulcan machine gun, which was indeed very busy. However, Miss Christina helped me a lot, and I will not forget it. Well, I'm going to treat you to a French dinner tonight, and I wonder if Miss Christina will be able to give you a face? ”
Christina's delicate face turned from cloudy to sunny, and she looked at Philip with a smile and said, "Is it just the two of us?" Not afraid of Miss Anna's jealousy? ”
Philip smiled: "Do you think Anna is that kind of person?" But we don't even have time for you right now! ”
Christina laughed coquettishly: "Mr. Philip, I'm not here to interview you now, so how about I help you as a volunteer propagandist?" ”
Philip nodded, "Well, then I'll thank Miss Christina on behalf of the Bofors staff." I think you and Anna are in charge of distributing promotional materials, you two big beauties are at that station, I don't know how many viewers you want to attract? ”
Christina walked up to Anna with a smile and said loudly, "Hello, Miss Anna. I'm Christina, I'll help you. ”
Anna carefully looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and then remembered that she was the New York Times reporter who had come to interview Philip last time, and her report had helped Bofors a lot, otherwise there would not have been such a hot scene.
Anna was pleasantly surprised, "I remember, it's a pleasure to see you here, Miss Christina." ”
Soon, the two beauties, who were almost the same age, chatted enthusiastically, handing out materials to the audience while talking about interesting topics. This beautiful scenery has made more audiences come around, two superb blonde beauties, which is unique in the defense exhibition, most of the booths of other companies are male staff, even if there are a few female staff, they are also very ordinary, where can compare to the lineup of Bofors.
Hundreds of people gathered around Bofors' booth, some to see the new assault rifle and Vulcan cannon, two unique and novel weapons, and some to see the two big beauties, so Anna and Christina became the busiest people at Bofors's booth, while Philip and they were a lot more relaxed, and most of them came to the beauty.
Soon, the first day of the busy show was over. With the help of the two beauties, Bofors has obtained several purchase intentions, although not as many as the Chinese delegation, but it can be regarded as some large purchase intentions. Among them, the German delegation was ready to order two thousand Gungnir assault rifles; The American delegation is ready to order a thousand Gungnir assault rifles; The Finnish delegation was ready to order five thousand Gungnir assault rifles and twenty 75-mm mountain guns; The Norwegian delegation is ready to order a thousand Gungnir assault rifles.
Even the boss Carl didn't expect such a result to achieve such a good result on the first day, and after a few days, this did not keep the Bofors factory busy, and it seemed that the scale of production had to be expanded.
On the first day of the defense exhibition, a dark horse appeared, and that was Bofors. The sum of several orders, not counting the follow-up purchase intentions of the Chinese delegation, has nearly two million US dollars in orders. Other exhibitors, on the other hand, did not have that good performance. Second only to Bofors is Germany's Krupp AG, a long-established arms manufacturer with orders of nearly one million dollars; Then there is the American Colt Company, which also received about $700,000 in purchase intent orders.
On the first day of the defense exhibition, nearly half of the more than 400 arms manufacturers who participated in the exhibition received orders, but the number was not large. In total, the first day of the defense exhibition reached 8 million US dollars, a result that made the media exclaim, the Stockholm international defense exhibition was not only very successful, but also the dark horse of Bofors!
You know, this is the first day of the defense show, and generally speaking, it's rare to have such a number of deals on the first day of the show. Usually on the first day, buyers will not easily place orders, because they all want to see more than two, and they have to bargain, so that there is no two or three days is not enough. Therefore, some people predict that in the next few days, there will be a significant increase in the transaction volume, and finally the transaction amount of the first Stockholm International Defense Exhibition may reach hundreds of millions of dollars! That's a staggering number!
The brightest weapons are the Gungnir assault rifle and Vulcan machine gun. Both weapons are new types of weapons that break through the concepts of traditional rifles and traditional artillery, and no weapon at the defense show has ever had such a groundbreaking design. The attention to these two weapons was arguably unattainable for any of the two weapons, and almost all delegations visited the Bofors booth to learn more about them. Coupled with Bofors' membership system and free Gungnir assault rifle trials, this innovative sales model has attracted countless buyers, and if you want to compare them again, more buyers will be about to place orders, but this is a matter of time, because there is no weapon to match these two weapons at the defense show.
Philip's name also spread far and wide, and as the designer of these two weapons, it was of great interest to weapons experts from various countries.
Although it was a busy day, I was too tired to do it. Still, Philip kept his promise and invited Christina to dine at a famous French restaurant in Stockholm.
But what she didn't expect was that Christina took Anna's arm and smiled: "Forget it, now I don't want you to invite me." ”
Anna smiled at Philip and said, "Miss Christina and I hit it off at first sight, and now we are good sisters, so we don't need you to be together." ”
Philip shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, then you guys go." I just happened to take an early break. But Philip said in his heart, as the saying goes, two women in one play, it's really true, it's so hot to fight so quickly, and I don't know what ecstasy soup this Christina poured into Anna, just let them go.
