Chapter 2493 Although Defeated, It Is Still Glorious
If this was a hype, Alexander has served his purpose.
Set an impossible goal, attract everyone's attention, and then get as close as possible to the goal. In the end, even if you don't complete the goal, it will be enough to cause a sensation.
If Gao Yang sets the final result at No. 17, then he will be proud of his defeat, and Alexander has also proven his gun.
The performance is so good that it goes beyond the limits of human use, which has been proven by the designers and manufacturers of this gun.
But Gao Yang didn't want to be glorious in defeat, and Alexander didn't want it either.
Because the premise of this bet was not that Alexander wanted to hype it up, because Alexander had never thought about whether the gun could be sold. He just wanted to win and shut up those who doubted him, that's all.
But Remington CEO Max didn't see it that way. He regarded Alexander's words as a joke, so he made a bet with Alexander online.
Talkative people and keyboard warriors are everywhere. Max was just chatting with people on the Internet. He didn't expect Alexander Arms Company to actually turn the bet into reality.
As the CEO of Remington, Max plays an important role in the small arms industry. He knows how much impact his words and deeds will have, so he will never let himself be used as a hype job, but he did not expect that Alexander truly made an epoch-making rifle.
Now everyone understands that a first-class rifle has been released. No matter who wins the bet, Alexander Company will be the ultimate winner.
It was a live advertisement for a competitor, and it was still in this sensational way. Max's face was extremely ugly.
But it was Alexander who was supposed to have a bad look on his face. From a marketing point of view, he had succeeded, but who made Alexander just want to win instead of selling more guns.
As for Gao Yang, he doesn't want to be proud of defeat, he just wants victory, complete victory.
Max did not let anyone catch his gloomy face. When Gao Yang finished his first shot, he quickly smiled at Alexander and said: "Although it was not successful, it was very good. Congratulations to you."
Looking at Max's complicated eyes, Alexander didn't feel much joy, so he said solemnly: "The result is good, but it's also a loss, and I want to win."
Max breathed out and smiled: "You became famous in one battle, and your company became famous.
Isn't this enough? "
Alexander looked at Max and said slowly: "I know what you are thinking. It is impossible to mass-produce this gun. The scrap rate is too high under the current technical conditions and the market is too small. No matter how expensive I sell it, the manufacturing This gun is losing money from a business perspective."
Max spread his hands in confusion, and Alexander smiled and said: "All guns are produced by gun factories and provided to shooters, but I am not a gun dealer, I am a shooter. I just want to make the best rifle. No It’s just a gun for a shooter, subject to cost constraints.”
Max looked like he suddenly understood. He nodded, and then smiled and said: "I understand. Although it feels incredible, I really understand. Then, maybe we can talk about cooperation. You know, our company is here We are leaders in technology and equipment, so maybe we can cooperate on production issues, or you can also consider transferring patents.”
Alexander shook his head and whispered: "It's too expensive, you don't want to buy a patent."
Max smiled confidently and said, "Maybe I don't think it's too expensive."
Alexander said solemnly: "I invested about 40 million US dollars for this gun."
Max was immediately stunned. He invested 40 million US dollars in the research and development of a gun, and it was a high-precision rifle that was destined to have low production and sales. This cost was a bit too high, but if it could be used by the military, If Fang is interested in purchasing it as a military-standard rifle, and it can even be sold in the market around the world, then the price is actually very low.
Max is really optimistic about Alexander's rifle because this gun has all the necessary ingredients for success, except that it is too expensive.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Max said in a deep voice, "Maybe we should sit down and have a good talk."
As a businessman, Max doesn't mind turning an online spat into a business opportunity.
But Alexander didn't think so. He just said lightly: "Let's wait until it's over. Our shooter will continue."
Gao Yang had already reloaded the magazine. He did not use the magazine that had been loaded in advance, but loaded the bullets one by one himself.
The target moved its position and stood up again.
Gao Yang carefully observed the target position, not using a telescope, but using the sight on the gun.
After memorizing the positions of all ten targets, Gao Yang increased the magnification of the scope from 16 times to the maximum of 24 times. The low-magnification field of view was larger, but after remembering the positions of the targets, he could use more High magnification.
He scored 7 out of 10 in his first shot. This is Gao Yang's best level. He is indeed a practical shooter. The greater the pressure, the better he performs.
But Gao Yang just wants to win, he doesn't want anything to be proud of even if he loses.
The glory despite defeat was prepared for Alexander as a manufacturer, not for Gao Yang as a shooter.
Victory is victory, defeat is defeat.
Gao Yang is a shooter, and even more a warrior. There is no glory in defeat in his dictionary.
Exhaling slowly, Gao Yang said softly: "It's time to start."
After a beep, Gao Yang started shooting.
I didn't think about anything, and I didn't have time to think. I just shot at the fastest speed and then controlled the posture of the gun. When the posture of the gun was stable, I could fire again. At the same time, I had already aimed at the new target, and then immediately fired again.
The slowest one had to be within ten seconds, but to Gao Yang, the ten consecutive shots seemed to have consumed all his strength.
After the shooting ended, Gao Yang felt that all the strength in his body was drained, but he still turned around with great effort to look at the person next to him who was timing and reporting the target.
"Ten...sixth grade! Confirmed, sixteenth grade!"
The result that Gao Yang was most worried about appeared. The first shooting was in the best condition and the result was also the best.
Even if you continue to fight, your results will only get worse and worse. This extreme shooting method cannot be maintained and can only be achieved when you are at your peak.
Waves of exclamations came from the crowd, seven out of ten, six out of ten. Although the second shot was one shot away, this result also proved the stability.
Max's expressionless face was just lost in thought and he didn't know what he was thinking. Although Alexander was applauding, his face was full of bitterness.
Gao Yang sighed deeply and closed his eyes. Although he didn't want to be glorious in defeat, it seemed that he could only accept the result of glorious in defeat.
