Chapter 1171 Opening (Part 2)

The pre-selected watches of the Geneva Watch Awards will be displayed within the system of the international tour within two months before the award ceremony. The three nominated models in each category, together with the winners of the Golden Pointer and the Public Award, will be presented in a special exhibition following the awards ceremony.

All shortlisted models are now undergoing the final round of presentation and voting, and then will return to Geneva for the award ceremony. After the award, the winning brand will be invited to donate an award-winning watch to the Geneva Museum of Art and History as a display of the history of the "Geneva Haute Horlogerie Grand Prix".

The two watches that Guo Tailai participated in the awards, a women's Queen Mother series watch and a Terminator, were all shortlisted for the final awards. If there is no accident, they will win the final awards in their respective projects.

"What's the matter?" Hearing that Guo Tailai wanted to arrange a time, General Sun couldn't help being curious, but he felt that it was inappropriate to ask, so he added: "Let's just say it's inconvenient."

"It's nothing inconvenient." Guo Tailai smiled: "The two watches I made may win awards at the first Geneva Watch Awards. The organizer and the local government invited me to participate in the award ceremony."

"It's a good thing!" General Sun was happy: "Then you have to go to receive the award!"

General Chu also congratulated, and Guo Tailai accepted it with a smile.

"By the way, I should let you know about some things in the military industry system recently." After congratulating General Chu, he said with a smile: "It's all because of your influence and has something to do with you."

"I haven't played on the military system recently!" Guo Tailai was stunned: "I just made this military vehicle and nothing else. Isn't that cooperation still under study?"

"Not these." General Chu smiled: "It's about our country's foreign military sales."

"Let go?" Guo Tai was overjoyed for a moment. It was related to him, and it was also about arms sales. It must have been carefully studied and decided after the senior sister conveyed the opinion raised last time.

"It's already underway." Seeing Guo Tailai so happy, General Chu was also happy: "The first buyer is Russia. Guess what they bought?"

"BMPT heavy fire support vehicle?" Guo Tailai blurted out.

After suffering heavy losses in the Chechen War, the first thing Lao Maozi did when he went back was to study this kind of street fighting artifact, an infantry harvester to deal with personnel. However, due to insufficient funds, the research was aborted. Huaxia showed a mature product at this time, and Lao Maozi immediately seemed to grasp the straw.

"Yes!" General Chu said with a smile: "Their needs are very urgent. The first batch of 30 vehicles was purchased directly to prepare for the actual combat test results. If the practicality meets the needs, they will continue to place additional orders."

"They have the money to buy it?" Guo Tailai was a little unconvinced. Russia is so poor that even its own research project has been discontinued. Can they have the money to buy it? This is not a rifle. A rifle is only a few thousand yuan, a few hundred dollars, and you can buy 200,000 pieces for 10 to 20 million dollars. This kind of car may cost millions of dollars. They can afford it this cash?

"We allow them to pay with oil, and they can also exchange technology." General Chu said with a smile: "Business can be flexible. In exchange for low-priced oil, selling it to domestic petroleum and petrochemical companies is another profit. Anyway, we don't It will be a loss. There are still a batch of aircraft engines that pay the bills."

Guo Tailai gave General Chu a thumbs up, yes! It's a good business.

"Praise Lao Zhao!" General Chu laughed again: "This was negotiated by Lao Zhao and his group, and the product is also their product, but the idea is your idea. The higher-ups are also very satisfied with this business."

Good thing! The old man Zhao Xiangbei made it, and it is very good. With the actual use data on the battlefield, when the time comes, get it back and optimize it. Isn’t this the process of technological development?

"In addition to the fire support vehicle, there is another business." General Chu said with a smile: "The vehicle-mounted sniper detection system, after a simple trial, Lao Maozi bought a hundred sets at a time, one set for each fleet. There are too many people who died under the sniper rifles in the street fighting in Roniz."

"If the data interface is not directly connected to the fire control of the fire support vehicle, as soon as the enemy shoots, will the side immediately counterattack?" Guo Tailai asked: "Such an integrated system can be sold more expensive."

"Yes!" General Chu gave Guo Tailai a thumbs up in turn: "We have developed a data link interface, and our vehicles can completely counterattack fully automatically. The first batch of 30 fire support vehicles is only because of this The price of one has increased by half a million dollars. But the old man is still very satisfied after trying it out, but if their fire control system wants to be connected to our data link, they need to charge an additional interface fee."

"Have you enjoyed the benefits of technological leadership?" Guo Tailai said happily.

"Yes!" General Chu was also indescribably comfortable: "This kind of business is really fun!"

In the past, in terms of military technology, the country was fed up with the suffering of others having nothing to do with others. We had no technology, so we could only be slaughtered by others, and the price was whatever they said. This time it's the other way around, I have what others don't have, and that's called comfort.

"The Americans have been making great strides in Afghanistan during this period, and they still can't see it." Guo Tailai smiled and said: "When they get stuck in the quagmire of Afghanistan, I believe they will also applaud and welcome them if we sell this system to them. Using data on the battlefield helps us improve the system and equip our own people in the future."

"We are waiting!" General Chu also nodded: "While studying the tactics and tactics of the Americans, studying their weapons and equipment, while waiting for the right opportunity."

Guo Tailai believes that a group of domestic professionals know better than him when the time is right, and they can make a small profit when the time comes. This is a good thing for the domestic military industry system. Only when the equipment can be sold can it make money, and only when it has money can it continue to invest in research and development.

"There is one more thing." General Chu said with a smile: "This time we put the 00-style sniper rifle you designed into the international market. You also said that this sniper rifle is improved from the British AWM sniper rifle. The bullets also use .338 Lapua Magnum, which is not our unique caliber. After we obtained the authorization, we put it into the international market and compete with those international big manufacturers!"

"It should be like this!" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "Our weapons industry can't hide everything, we have to fight with them in the international arms market! What about the later series of bullpup sniper rifles? Why not consider?"

"Those are still in the process of testing and trial production." General Chu said with a smile: "Wait until the production quality can be stabilized before considering the matter of launching it into the market. Also, when the Warrior car is mass-produced, maybe it can be sold to the outside world. A military vehicle with better performance than the Hummer, I believe many countries will be interested in it."
