On the morning of the third day after returning to Ice Blue City, Chen Xing met with the special commissioner of Sanxiang Heavy Industry.
Until now, apart from using their company's products, Chen Xing and Sanxiang Heavy Industry had nothing to do with each other. Just like most people, they eat the food in the canteen every day but never see the chef. They look at it every day but don’t know who the author is. They have a close relationship, but they are strangers.
The person who conveyed the message was Bai Ye Liufang. It seemed that the other party had promised some benefits in private, otherwise it would be impossible to persuade the second princess Bai Ye to become an errand girl.
The Director of Security must be given face, so Chen Xing met with him.
"Good afternoon, Prime Minister!"
The young man in dark uniform stood upright in front of his desk and bowed ninety degrees to Chen Xing. He is 1.75 meters tall, with a slender figure and precise movements. On his left chest hangs the nameplate of "Three Phase Heavy Industries Strategy Department".
"My friend, Yuka Yagi, is a special correspondent of Sanxiang Heavy Industries. I have taken the liberty to visit you. Please forgive me!"
With that said, the young man bowed again and maintained the posture of bending at 90 degrees with his head bowed for half a minute.
"Yagi-kun, you are so polite. I am a loyal fan of your company's products. Although we have never met, we have known each other for a long time. It can be said that we are already old friends." Chen Xing said with a smile, using very standard diplomatic rhetoric. .
"Thank you for your love, I am grateful! On behalf of all the employees of Sanphase Heavy Industries, Yuka Yagi would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Prime Minister for your praise!"
With that said, the commissioner bowed again, this time for one minute.
After some polite remarks, we gradually got down to business.
"Yagi-kun, your company sent you here for something?" Chen Xing asked.
"Prime Minister, I did come with a mission. Sir, please look at this..." As he said that, he took a step forward, took out a few photos from his arms and placed them on the table, then stepped back.
Chen Xing picked up the photo and looked at it, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The photos are of an assault rifle taken from different angles, and this gun is the new SCAR that the Principality of River Bird is mass-producing through research on the future version of SCAR.
Chen Xing's expression turned cold, and he threw the photo away, his pupils shrinking slightly, "Is this considered stealing business secrets?"
Under Chen Xing's gaze, Yagi Yuka's expression ranged from uncomfortable to frightening, and then he kept bowing and apologizing.
"Prime Minister, I'm very sorry!" He then explained, "We just accidentally saw the weapons of your country's garrison. Their performance in all aspects is very good. After the information was reported to the headquarters, our designers were very curious, so we took the liberty of Come here and ask for your forgiveness!"
Before Chen Xing could speak, Yagi Yuka bowed and continued, "I am here this time to discuss a cooperation project with you."
"Isn't it a bit rude of you to do this while snooping on our business secrets and talking to me about cooperation at the same time?" Chen Xing asked, his tone was neither cold nor indifferent.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I'm sorry to say that your country has not hidden any new weapons. Our staff took the picture at King's Square. It is a tourist attraction and there are no restrictions on taking pictures." Yagi Yuka did not do this this time. Apologize, but argue with reason.
"So that's it..." Chen Xing pretended to be stupid. In fact, he didn't treat this matter as a secret. After all, how could something equipped by tens of thousands of people be kept secret?
The reason why he did this was just to take advantage of this and gain some advantages in conversation.
"Prime Minister, our company would like to acquire the design patent of the new SCAR from you."
Yagi Yuka began his rhetoric skillfully, "As far as I know, the gun production technology of the Kawaguchi Principality is very backward. Compared with the technology of human transformation, they are not good at making weapons."
"If it is produced by us, no matter in terms of quality, performance, or output, we will greatly exceed the production facility of the Heqiao Principality."
"And we can agree on a time during which the new SCAR produced will only be delivered to your country."
"This will not only ensure your country's patent advantages, but also increase production capacity, improve quality and performance, and quickly enhance the combat capabilities of your country's grassroots troops."
Yagi Yuka turned on the salesman mode in full, and talked in a very colorful way, but Chen Xing frowned more and more the more he listened.
As a gold medal salesman, Yagi Yuka quickly noticed the change in the customer's expression, so he stopped and asked, "Prime Minister, do you have any questions about what I just said?"
"What you just said, can I understand it this way? If you take my technology for free and then produce things to sell to me, I can't help but buy it?"
According to what the other party said, it is to get the technology for free and then supply it exclusively, and the exclusive supply is two-way, buying and selling is the business, otherwise the products produced by Three Phase Heavy Industry will be thrown into the warehouse to rust?
"If you feel it is inappropriate, we can also use other cooperation methods. We can buy out the patent in one go, or license it to us, and then make a commission based on a certain percentage."
"There are many ways to cooperate, and there must be one that suits us." Yagi Yuka said confidently.
"But what if I don't want to cooperate?" Chen Xing asked with a half-smile.
"Why don't you want to cooperate, sir? This patent is like a flower stuck in cow dung in the hands of the River Bird Principality. It cannot be used to its fullest potential. If you leave it to us, we can make the most of it. This is A win-win situation is a good thing for both of us, and I think adults must understand."
"But I just don't want to cooperate?" Chen Xing asked again, with a layer of warning in his tone.
"If you don't want to cooperate, we naturally can't and don't dare to force it, but..." Yagi Yuka paused, "This technology of yourselves is not of the type that is difficult to imitate. As time goes by, the samples will definitely It will spread. Those third-tier manufacturers don’t care who owns the patent, as long as they make money. It won’t be long before a large number of imitations will appear in the underground trading market.”
"Let me ask you, how much will the patent in your hands be worth at that time?"
"In this case, why should I cooperate with you instead of Hongtu Heavy Industry or Longhe Industry?" Chen Xing asked the question again. But this time, he took back the coldness in his tone.
I have to say that he somewhat appreciates this special correspondent's business ability. His speech and behavior are impeccable, and his analysis is clear-cut and well-founded, making it easy for people to identify with him. He was also a salesman, but he had not used his skills for twenty years.
"First of all, your Excellency will not cooperate with Longhe Industry. Although Longhe Industry is a company in your country, precisely because of this, they are caught between various forces and cannot treat them differently."
"The second is Hongtu Heavy Industry. They are indeed our most powerful opponent, but SCAR is a precision tactical rifle. Previously, only Westwood Industrial produced it. Hongtu Heavy Industry adopts a rough and wild style and is not good at making such high-precision products. .”
"As for Ximu Industry, even Chongshan Industry, and Great Wall Industry, even if they can produce, they still have camp restrictions. Therefore, we, Sanxiang Heavy Industry, are the best partners for your cooperation."
"Okay..." Chen Xing sighed, stood up and stretched out his hand, with a smile on his face, "You succeeded in convincing me."
"Thank you, sir!"
The two shook hands, and then Chen Xing said, "You can draw up a sharing plan for me." He emphasized, "I only want money!"
"Understood!" Yagi Yuka nodded vigorously.
For Chen Xing, although the new SCAR can improve the combat effectiveness of grassroots troops, it cannot determine the outcome of the war, and replacing equipment for the entire army is a huge expense.
New equipment cannot determine the outcome of a war, but sparkling gold coins can!
You know, war burns money.
"In addition..." Yagi Yuka continued, "In order to express our respect for you, Sanxiang Heavy Industries, we can customize a firearm for you for free, and use all our skills to create a famous gun that will be handed down from generation to generation!"
"That's great!" Chen Xingdale said that no one would refuse the free offer. He still remembered Lacey's two famous guns. The quality of their production could be described as exquisite. In addition to the guns themselves, they were also works of art. They were gorgeous and exquisite, and it felt like you couldn't put them down when you picked them up.
"Thank you for your trust and appreciation, sir." Yagi Yuka bowed and saluted, "I will go back to draw up a plan and hope to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible."
"Didi!"
Just as Chen Xing was about to say a few polite words to the other party, his black watch suddenly rang.
"Sir, you have something to do first. I'm going back." Yagi Yuka wisely withdrew.
After watching the other party leave, Chen Xing raised his hand and looked at the black watch screen.
[are you home yet? ]
There is no indication of the sender of the message, but the dialog box that pops up forcibly and the tone of the question make it possible to guess the identity of the other party immediately.
[I’m just asking now, I’ve been back for two days] Chen Xing replied.
[I'm sorry, I was scolded by my father as soon as I returned home, and I couldn't find the opportunity]
[It’s okay, I’m just talking casually]
[Mr. Chen Xing, this trip is very happy and the harvest is very rich. I hope to have an opportunity to adventure with Mr. Chen Xing next time]
[OK, I’ll go again when I have the chance]
[Thank you, Mr. Chen Xing! You are my best friend in this world. I know Mr. Chen Xing is very busy now, and I feel a little embarrassed every time I bother you, but sometimes I can’t help it...]
Another message was sent continuously over there
[Mr. Chen Xing, although state affairs are important, don’t force yourself too much and pay more attention to rest. If you have something to do first, I won’t disturb you]
After the message ends, the screen returns to normal.
"Busy?" Chen Xing looked confused, "What am I busy with?"
Today's task is completed, and there is nothing new. Next is leisure time, drinking tea, chatting, picking up girls...
"Didi!"
The black watch beeped again, and the surface lit up at the same time.
This is a video call request.
When he saw the other party's name, Chen Xing's eyes widened with an expression of surprise.
He hung his fingers in the air, hesitating whether to take it or not.
If it were a general video call request, he wouldn't need to hesitate at all. He is the powerful Prime Minister of Ice Blue City, and there are few people in the world who can make him frown.
However, there was something special about this name, and it was so special that he hesitated to just hang up.
Because he really doesn’t want to receive the other party’s video.
Although the other party was very beautiful and had a world-famous appearance, he still didn't want to accept her.
Because the black watch screen clearly displayed - Lacey Maris!
This enemy has a narrow road, and there will definitely be no good things to do with him.
