With the passage of time, the matter of Horizon Security Company came to an end for the time being, and Luo Sheng gradually shifted his energy from here.

At present, Auguste Fran, who is at the helm of Horizon Security, is frequently being "interrogated" by major media outlets, and the reason why the word "interrogation" is used to describe it is because the company's actions in Lipia are being morally attacked.

The main point of criticism is the hegemonic "embezzlement" of the $50 billion in money for one's own use, and the other point is the ruthless blow to the local warlord forces on the way to transfer the $50 billion, and the two rounds of "justice from heaven" directly caused as many as two-thirds of the casualties of the robbers, and more than 1,300 people died on the spot, and they were therefore labeled as "executioners."

The media on the side of Lao Mei is also criticizing and criticizing, but the business dealings between each other have not been pulled down at all, and Horizon Security has its own public relations team and lawyers responsible for war of words and lawsuits.

Whatever one may say, the nature of Horizon Security is doomed to a notoriety sooner or later, and as a private military company, it is a matter of time.

Whether it is a private military contractor such as Blackwater or Draken International, which one can have a good reputation?

But reputation really doesn't matter at all to these private military contractors, for the simple reason that the customer base is not the general public, and the fate is not in the hands of these people.

On the contrary, Horizon Security has built a good reputation in the industry, and many enterprise customers have increasingly trusted it to provide security services.

If the customer group such as Bluestar Technology and Cote d'Azur is oriented to the majority of ordinary commercial companies, it is very important for the company's reputation, and if the reputation is too bad, it will face consumer resistance, which will affect the company's performance and revenue.

But for private military contractors, as long as the law can't punish them, other issues don't need to be bothered at all.

……

After Luo Sheng's energy shifted away from Horizon Security, the second half of this year focused on the results of the Côte d'Azur laboratory, and his personal email has received news about a series of technological breakthroughs in new graphene materials.

Research in this field has been more than ten years, almost from the establishment of the Cte d'Azur laboratory has begun the corresponding topic demonstration, to today's investment in the scale of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Its scientific researchers are working on the front line year after year, day after day, and a series of breakthroughs in technological achievements are accidental, inevitable and predictable.

……

This afternoon, Luo Sheng came to the Galaxy City, the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur, and an outdoor plaza inside is undergoing site construction, which is to carry out a large-scale exhibition from the perspective of layout.

"Mr. Luo, this is the exhibition project of the major subsidiaries and affiliated companies of the group company, with a total of 1,289 start-up technology companies from 129 countries and regions around the world."

Just when a cadre accompanied the super boss on the field, Yao Jianhong, the company's No. 2 person, came to him in small steps and handed him the information in his hand.

Luo Sheng took it and took a look, these affiliated companies, including Cao Junhui's Huachang Technology and Chen Xin's Borche Technology, were all on the list.

In August, a large-scale event called "Côte d'Azur Science and Technology Expo" will be held, which is a new project of the company, which will be held every year in August from this year onwards, and will focus on the major scientific and technological breakthroughs of Côte d'Azur and its affiliates.

There are few companies in the world that can use the word "expo" for their own technology exhibitions, and such words are often used for large-scale events held by many countries and a large number of enterprises around the world.

This exclusive exposition on the Cte d'Azur is fully qualified to be named this term, not to mention that the nearly 1,300 subsidiaries and affiliated companies of the group company are a very exaggerated figure.

These companies are basically technology companies, most of them are start-up technology companies supported by investment, some have reached the scale or above, and some are still in the incubation stage, involving major frontier fields and hot fields, such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, new materials, new energy, etc.

"Well, that's good, let's go ahead with the plan." Luo Sheng gave a rough list of the catalog, did not look at it in too much detail, handed over the information to Tang Xin, the secretary assistant who accompanied him, and added to everyone: "This event is a large-scale event of a 'seller show', focusing on one word - show!" How to show how to come, to show the technical heritage of our group company. ”

The general person in charge of the accompanying event smiled: "Mr. Luo, please rest assured, all departments are cooperating with this event, and everything is going well." ”

Luo Sheng looked around and said, "How many people can the venue accommodate?" ”

The person in charge of the event said: "The daily flow of 150,000 people is completely stressful, and the big data deduction and analysis shows that the peak may reach the scale of 180,000 people, and the limit of the venue can carry 200,000 people." ”

Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "There are so many people from all over the world, and the work of security and confidentiality must be done well, the restricted and controlled areas must be clear, and unclear people must not be allowed to go to some places where they should not go, and the counter-espionage task must concentrate on doing a good job in this regard." ”

The person in charge of the event nodded again and again, the workload in front of such a large-scale event is already so large, and the workload behind the scenes will only be greater, and these jobs are not visible to ordinary people.

Luo Sheng said that he had to say so, but he was actually very relieved, Xiao Na monitored the overall situation, and in addition, the state also provided a lot of counter-espionage help, not only providing relevant agents, but also providing relevant interrogation consultants.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in the matter that the core technology may be outflowed out of the country, even if Luo Sheng himself does not care, there are people who will care about him.

A large number of behind-the-scenes personnel do not know the work arrangement to ensure the smooth development of this expo.

……

With the passage of time, at the end of July, the Côte d'Azur held a press conference and officially announced the "2018 Côte d'Azur Science and Technology Expo", which lasted for a week, from August 25 to 31.

In fact, long before the official announcement, there were already relevant rumors in the industry, and more than 1,000 affiliated companies had already been notified in advance to hold such a big event, and it was impossible to hide all of them.

Named "Expo" in the name of a company, few companies in the world have this confidence, but no one will doubt that the Côte d'Azur has this capital.

The more people understand Luo Sheng's business technology empire, the more they know how terrifying it is, and many European and American media often use the word "tentacles" to describe the expansion of this huge business technology empire.

After the official announcement, it also began to sell tickets to the outside world, the cost of the event is huge, and the tickets must be collected, although the overall is definitely a "loss and money" business, but the ticket income is also expensive.

Of course, the company is not short of activity funds, but this is not a reason to lose.

There are six types of tickets for the expo: 280 yuan for general tickets on designated days, 199 yuan for special day discounted tickets, 200 yuan for weekday ordinary tickets, 140 yuan for weekday discounted tickets, 700 yuan for three tickets, and 1200 yuan for seven tickets.

Relatively speaking, the ticket price is very cheap, everyone can afford it, and there will be no financial pressure because of this, and it is definitely worth the ticket price for technology enthusiasts and enthusiasts.

This is much cheaper than the Cote d'Azur's product launch tickets, but also because of the wide audience, the company's internal big data analysis estimates that the total traffic of the expo can reach one million.
