I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 208: Merit can be lost, but revenue can be maintained
The second topic looks much more exciting than the first one.

The firepower is at full blast, and the bullet content is extremely high, which makes one's blood boil just by looking at it.

There is a large-caliber homemade cannon with blue paint peeling off on the screen, and the caliber is estimated to be more than 200mm.

There are also various simple rockets welded from pipes that fire in bursts. They have a short range, but are extremely lethal and insulting.

What is most shocking is that some of these magical little cannons are equipped with wheels and have evolved into self-propelled cannons.

……

……

The backgrounds of these pictures are basically the same.

One glance and you can tell that this is a masterpiece from my fellow Middle Easterners.

When the video was halfway through playing, Lin Xiao tapped the table with the tip of his pen.

"If the Eastern European battlefield taught us the impact of technology, especially a certain type of technological progress, on war, then what you are seeing now is the impact of backward weapons and equipment on tactics."

One officer raised his hand right after the topic was introduced and said, "Commander, these equipments cannot even be called equipments."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said, "That's right, but you have to admit that this thing is very lethal."

The equipment on the screen is visibly simple.

Almost all of them are discolored steel pipes and explosives.

Any welder can make it.

In other words.

Such weapons require no industrial capacity at all, only raw materials.

It is precisely this characteristic that forces Lin Xiao to pay attention to it.

"According to the information we have, the number of this type of homemade equipment is almost as high as that of standard ammunition."

"These things have a short range and little controllability, but they do a lot of damage over a large area."

"The worst thing is that it's cheap. The cost is so low that I can't even imagine it."

"A thousand of these things are not worth as much as a missile shell."

"Isn't Iron Dome amazing? A few years ago, when the technology of our fellow villagers was not advanced, they exchanged things worth tens of dollars for things worth millions of dollars."

"Now the technology of fellow villagers has improved, with various modifications, and some even use drone guidance."

"What does this mean?"

Lin Xiao's question was so thought-provoking that the hall fell into complete silence.

In fact, Lin Xiao had already done research on this aspect.

The party with advanced equipment naturally has an advantage, but sometimes this advantage can turn into a disadvantage.

This illogical question has been lingering in his mind.

A prevention and control system worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions is in our hands.

What the enemy threw at me was a kitchen knife. Should I defend myself or not?

This is true asymmetric warfare.

"This illustrates a problem. Large-caliber, cheap weapons like the 107mm cannon are a dimensionality-reducing attack on precision defense systems. Think about it, everyone, and speak up..."

The other participants, especially the army officers and soldiers, gradually followed Lin Xiao's ideas and gradually deepened the discussion.

"Boss, I have something else to say!"

Wang Xiaoshuai didn’t know much about artillery, but he discovered new things from the video played on the spot.

"Bear it."

"No, it's too uncomfortable. Look at that guided drone. Isn't it also our property?"

"Shh..."

Chen Chen's statement basically confirmed Wang Xiaoshuai's guess.

But he didn't understand.

The technical difficulty of modifying a drone to guide simple rockets is quite high.

Unless these two are a set and were created by the same company from the beginning.

"Oh my god, boss, this can't be all..."

"Shh..."

Wang Xiaoshuai understood it completely.

The meeting was ostensibly to discuss tactics and how to respond to drone equipment and improvised artillery in modern warfare.

In fact, it is Chendun’s product experience meeting.

the most important is.

Everyone seems to be unclear about the origins of these equipments and is only discussing them from a tactical perspective.

After thinking it through, Wang Xiaoshuai was silent for a moment: "Little Boss, how could you not pretend?"

"What are you pretending to be?"

"Let's not talk about the quality, but in terms of quantity, you are probably already one of the world's top arms dealers. If this were given to me, I would definitely post it on WeChat Moments."

"To be honest, I want to pretend, but it depends on the occasion. If you pretend here, how can Wei Xiu make money?"

"You mean you want to hide it from even Commander Lin?"

Chen Chen looked up at Commander Lin on the stage: "You are just deceiving yourself. Maybe they know it."

...

……

…………

The meeting in Yangcheng was supposed to last two days, but because Chen Chen brought new equipment, one more day was added.

On the third day, Lin Xiao personally took Chen Chen to a certain unit to conduct a test installation and evaluation of the 3D drone printer.

At the same time, Linyang City.

Wei Xiao was wearing a neat little suit, a little makeup, her hair tied tightly behind her head, and she faced the camera with a smart and neat look.

"Hello, President Wei and President Wei. I am a reporter from Linyang Terrace. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to interview me."

"Thank you for interviewing me too." Wei Xiao responded playfully.

As the face of Shunfeng, she has done a lot of work that requires her to be in the spotlight, and she can handle it with ease.

Wei Xiu was different. He had rarely faced the camera and felt a little nervous.

Whenever he encountered a major problem, he would look to Ms. Wei, hoping that she would answer it.

"First of all, on behalf of the people of Linyang, I would like to thank you two for investing in Linyang City. Secondly, I would like to ask you two, as leading domestic technology companies such as Shunfeng and Feiniu, how did you choose our small place of Linyang to invest? What potential did you see?" Wei Xiu's heart tightened.

Although he had prepared himself long ago, he was like a blank sheet of paper when facing the camera.

The key is not to tell the truth.

You can't say on TV that you see potential in Linyang as a arsenal, right?
Wei Xiao thought for a moment and spoke confidently: "I have a few opinions on the issue of potential. What are they specifically? Then we have to mention a key issue, which is the so-called key, that is, Linyang's potential. How we define this potential is also the key issue. If we can't define the key issue facing Linyang..."

"..."

"..."

Listening to Wei Xiao's talk, Wei Xiu knelt down on the spot.

Nearly two minutes passed and not a single useful word was said.

Just listening to your words has made me pay for books for twenty years.

If you talk to others like this normally, you will definitely get slapped in the face.

But this is an interview.

This is the safest way to speak.

President Wei had not prepared a speech in advance, and she didn't even know what Feiniu had invested in Linyang.

People can just talk freely and make it sound high-sounding without revealing any key information.

At this moment.

Wei Xiu finally understood why the young boss asked President Wei to come over.

Mr. Xiao Wei's abilities cannot be replaced by AI.

No wonder he is the boss.

"Thank you for the introduction, Mr. Wei. I would like to ask Mr. Wei the next question."

The reporter also knew Wei Xiao's level, so he didn't dare to act rashly and instead called out Wei Xiu.

"I heard that you integrated the industries in Linyang and transformed the sunset industries into sunrise industries, especially the Linyang Coal Chemical Plant, whose products are exported to foreign countries in large quantities. Do you have any advanced experience in this regard?"

Wei Xiu rubbed his temples: "There's nothing much to say about this. As a product provider, our main job is to meet the needs of our customers."

"Ah - what exactly do you need?"

"For Linyang Coal Chemical Plant... it's about the caliber of the product... No! There is some demand for the diameter."

"????"

The interview lasted for an hour and a half, which was the end of the forum.
Their interview footage will be edited and broadcast as a feature on the local news three days later.

Wei Xiao didn’t care much about the follow-up. Anyway, the task assigned to her by Chen Chen was completed.

However, I still gained a lot from this trip to Linyang.

Because she had been busy with the Thousand-Armed Guanyin project, she didn't have time to have a good chat with Wei Xiu.

Especially regarding the Huanon aid to Africa, she was nominally the overall person in charge, but there were few specific matters that she actually handled, as Wei Xiu was the one who was busy with all of them.

After gaining a general understanding of the profitability of Feiniu's entire project, Wei Xiao admired Wei Xiu even more.

According to his description, the profits of the entire aid-Africa project will far exceed expectations.

When Huazhong Agricultural University took on this job, it was just a face-saving project that would not make any money, and it did not expect any return.

But now, the project has just reached the second phase and there is already some spare money.

She had to give a thumbs up: "Not bad, you and Chen Chen are comparable in terms of making money. You are the younger Chen Chen."

Wei Xiu frowned slightly: "Why doesn't it sound like a good thing?"

"Sincerely. This project is more about form than meaning. Money doesn't matter."

"But now, the form is satisfied."

"Hua Nong's assistance to Africa has helped feed so many hungry people and earned us a good reputation."

"Looking at the financial statements again, there is still profit, so there is profit."

"You have made a lot of merit while also helping others."

Wei Xiao spoke from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, Shunfeng’s senior executives had some prejudice against Wei Xiu.

It was mainly because of Wei Xiu's previous record. The idea of ​​imprisonment and reform was unacceptable to many feudal remnants.

But now.

Wei Xiu not only made money, but also achieved social significance.

He doesn't look like an outlaw at all, and all he does are good deeds to accumulate merit.

but.

After hearing this, Wei Xiu's face turned dark.

Accumulate merit?
This aid project to Africa cannot bring any merit at all.

Whole shiploads of farm machinery were transported north and then delivered to the homes of the villagers through various channels, allowing them to fully experience the charm of the people's war.

The fellow villagers were very satisfied, and Chen Chen was also very satisfied.

Only my own merits have become negative.

Whenever he recalled the scene of continuous gunfire, he always felt that he was about to be haunted by the fire of karma.

Merit cannot be accumulated at all.

Fortunately.

Wei Xiu is a materialist.

You can lose merit, as long as you don’t lose revenue.

Thinking of this, he felt more at ease: "By the way, Mr. Wei, why are you here? Where is Mr. Chen?"

"Chen Chen is not available."

"You're so busy, is it about the Tathagata Palm?"

Wei Xiao held the phone, replying to the message quickly with her fingers, doing two things at once: "No, I went to Yangcheng for a meeting. I just said that they seemed to be discussing things like artillery and drones. I don't know about the Middle East, so why are you looking for Chen Chen?"

"..."

Wei Xiu nodded and zipped up his mouth.

Artillery drones, back to the Middle East.

Isn’t that the same thing we were talking about in the interview today?
