1699 Gossip (Part 2)
Guo Tailai has made several high-quality high-quality guns in the past two years. The first one is Walter’s WA2000 sniper rifle, which is all titanium alloy with high precision. Treasure it, and give the other one to the senior sister for collection.
Later, I made two more for Pu Dadi, one is his favorite Stechkin submachine gun, and the other is AK47, all titanium alloy with high precision and structural color, which was ordered by Abu for Pu Dadi one's gift. These two guns were only reported once, and they were in the private collection of Emperor Pu, who didn't like to show them to outsiders.
Later, it was the high-order version of the L115A1 sniper rifle that Prince Charles himself wanted. It is also an all-titanium alloy with high precision and structural color coating. In fact, this gun was the most reported in the early stage, and Charles often showed off with this gun.
The last one this time is Cheyenne Tactical's M200 sniper rifle, two high-end versions, one as a collection of Cheyenne Tactical, and the other has become an important prop in "Shen Xing". Movies at the box office, played worldwide. It can be said that the sponsorship of Xia An Tactical is the most successful advertisement in the history of their company. The sales of Cheyenne Tactical M200 doubled just because of the film "Shen Xing".
Although Prince Charles's was the most influential before, it is no longer the case after the auction held at the end of last year. The protagonist was replaced by the M200 sniper rifle bought by the rich and madman Larry.
The auction price of 50 million US dollars caused an uproar all over the world. However, Mr. T made it himself, plus there are two limited editions in the world, and the addition of props from "God's Walk", making this gun the only one in the world, and 50 million US dollars are used for collection. No one thinks this is a deal. loss.
However, it was also because of the huge momentum of the gun auction that some people had some gossip.
The first few guns were either presented by Guo Tailai or customized by him. Although some people have guessed the price and estimated the value at 30 million US dollars, after all, no one knows how much a gun is worth. None of the owners of those guns boasted about the value of the guns, only emphasizing their rarity and preciousness. However, the last one became world-class news because of the public auction.
Originally, Guo Tailai's treasures were big news worthy of reporting. In addition, Larry the Madman was also a subject that was liked by the media all over the world, even tabloid reporters. Not even a sensation!
This is not news to discredit Mr. T, so the major media around the world almost spare no effort in reporting it, and the same is true in China. Then, there are some weird words.
To put it bluntly, it's all about money, a gun sold for 50 million dollars? This is even more exaggerated than a watch from Guo Tailai! So various theories have come out one after another.
The most popular comment among the public is why can a gun be sold so expensive? This is normal. After all, a gun, that is, those things, how can it be sold for such a sky-high price? So some knowledgeable people explained how troublesome and difficult it is to process all-titanium alloys, and how expensive the finished products are, and so on. But the material alone is obviously not enough to be so expensive, so Guo Tailai's superb handwork has become the decisive factor. High precision is a secondary factor, the most important thing is the addition of structural color painting and "Shen Xing".
It is quite normal to say this. After all, it is still a matter of fact. Arguing about the price of a gun will only make the gun more famous and make Larry who owns the gun happier.
But apart from these normal arguments, there are some other claims that are very disgusting.
A gun earns so much money, why don't you do charity or donate money? This kind of argument has not been made once or twice. Every time, people use the news that Guo Tailai donates 100 million every year. In this regard, some netizens and Guo Tailai's navy have never been polite.
However, there are other sayings that make people a little speechless.
Guo Tailai obtained the authorization from Walter Company to build the WA2000, and obtained the authorization from Xia'an Tactical to build the M200. Both of these guns are treasured by their company. The two guns given to Pu Dadi were all Russian guns, and obviously no one would say anything about it. However, the one given to Prince Charles is clearly a domestic QBU-00 sniper rifle. Why didn't it obtain authorization from the Eastern Group and the designer?
Although this gun was improved from a certain sniper rifle of the British army, and now the British army has a similar improved version, the original improvement was completed in China. Since Mr. T attaches so much importance to intellectual property abroad, why does this gun not require the manufacturer's authorization? Is it because this gun is domestic, so it is so casual?
This statement was supported by many people, but it was quickly quelled by the official explanation.
According to the official statement, from 1998 to now, all the well-designed sample guns in China have been manufactured by Mr. T. The report also included photos of various guns, all of which were clearly marked with the letter T. According to reports, except for the fact that these sample guns do not have structural color coating, which is the most cost-intensive and time-consuming option only for the pursuit of appearance, other accuracy and everything else are exactly the same as that of Prince Charles.
There is no need to reveal that Guo Tailai is the designer of the QBU-00 sniper rifle, but as soon as this official statement came out, many trolls immediately died down.
There are only two remaining spray points. First, Mr. T's follow-up orders are not foreign silicon crystal balls, but high-precision weapons or mirror grinding. And they still work cheaply for foreigners. The previous processing of silicon crystal balls is said to be only a few million dollars, while the lens grinding of a large Magellan telescope will not exceed 10 million dollars. It costs 50 million dollars to make a gun, but only 10 million dollars to grind such a large mirror? Worshiping foreigners can't be too outrageous, right?
This statement is obviously made by guys who don't know the situation. They completely forgot that the reason why Guo Tailai was willing to accept the order was to allow domestic universities and institutions to participate in the project. As for the high-precision grinding machine that Guo Tailai developed and transferred technology because of these orders, it is still kept secret for reasons of confidentiality, and it is impossible to make it public because of such a statement.
If this statement is just a moral accusation against Mr. T for not working for the country, then the other accusation is very serious.
Some people in the industry did not spout on the Internet, but they expressed their dissatisfaction through the organization. The old saying has come out again, the M200 sniper rifle has such excellent long-range sniper performance, is it because of the improved rifling design that Guo Tailai gave at that time? This is using China's technical secrets to help foreigners. This is a very serious act of endorsing the enemy!
