Chapter 409 Cultivating the Market

Paul quickly prepared himself to shoot and fired.

But after the first shot, Paul was immediately surprised and said: "The recoil is too small, it doesn't look like a .338 caliber rifle."

After finishing speaking, Paul immediately fired continuously and rapidly, basically maintaining a high rate of fire of one shot per second. Each shot hit a target of 400 meters.

Ten rounds went off in one go, and then Paul stopped shooting.

"This gun can shoot very fast. It's far from the limit. I want to test the accuracy."

After making some comments first, Paul continued shooting. There were still nine bullets in the gun. He used the remaining nine bullets to shoot further targets in sequence until the bullets were gone.

Paul stopped shooting, and then he said to Pasanin: "This is a very strangely positioned gun. It fires .338 Lapu Magnum bullets, but the accuracy is not outstanding, but the rate of fire is far higher than mine. All the rifles I know are of the same caliber, which means that the power of this gun is too much for precision shooters, but the accuracy is not enough for snipers, so what is the positioning of this gun?"

"The accuracy of a sniper rifle, the rate of fire of a precision shooting rifle, are close to the power of a large-caliber rifle, and the loading capacity of a small- and medium-caliber rifle. It is positioned as a super rifle, a super rifle for super shooters. As for the accuracy, it is not Ideally it would be very simple, as this is just a first-generation prototype gun that still needs improvements.”

Paul frowned and said: "Super rifle, who is it for? I don't think anyone can use the full performance of this rifle, so what is the point of making this rifle."

Pasanin smiled and said: "This gun was designed and made by our leader, so this gun is tailor-made for our leader."

Paul frowned. Pasanin's implication was that their leader could exert the capabilities of this rifle, but he could not.

Xiao Ran said excitedly from the side: "Let me try."

Pasanin nodded and said, "Of course, please."

Xiao Ran loaded the bullets and started test firing. After firing ten rounds, she stopped and said to Pasanin: "This gun is really weird."

After finishing the remaining ten bullets, Xiao Ran stood up, then shook his head and said: "The gun is a good gun, but my gun is better. This gun is not accurate enough."

Pasanin spread his hands and said: "I said, this is the first generation prototype gun, but now it has reached the fourth generation. The fourth generation Alexander One has solved the accuracy problem."

Paul nodded and said, "Then this is a perfect rifle. What level of accuracy can it achieve?"

Pasanin said confidently: "A very high level."

A semi-automatic sniper rifle, with high power and long range, high accuracy, and very small recoil. Smaller recoil can increase the rate of fire. Of course Yang Yi also liked such a gun, but he was ignored by others.

"I want to try it too."

Pasanin smiled and said, "Please."

Yang Yi loaded the bullets, then he picked up the gun. After feeling it, he immediately said: "The gun is heavy, but it feels pretty good."

For Yang Yi, a rifle with a high rate of fire doesn't mean anything to him. What he needs is a high-precision rifle, but just because it doesn't make sense now doesn't mean it won't make sense in the future.

After a round of test firing, Yang Yi fell in love with the Alexander 1 prototype gun. Because it also had high-precision performance, a semi-automatic gun was always better than a bolt-action rifle.

"I like this gun, very much."

Yang Yi came to a conclusion, and then he said to Pasanin: "Now the question is, how can I buy this gun? I mean the fourth generation."

Pasanin laughed, very sincerely, and then he said solemnly: "You can buy it, you only need to wait a month."

"Okay, I want to buy it. How much does it cost?"

Pasanin hesitated for a moment, then he stretched out a finger and said: "One million dollars should be enough."

Yang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but before he could speak, Paul said in great surprise: "Why don't you go and grab it? Are you kidding? It's just a rifle, one million dollars, what are you kidding me about?" "

Pasanin shrugged and said: "This is just a trial-produced prototype gun. It will not be mass-produced. If you want to buy it, you can only add the research and development expenses. In fact, one million US dollars is not much. We are head I have already spent 20 million US dollars on this gun. If it is to be sold, of course some of the cost must be recovered."

Yang Yi quickly stood up, then shook his head and said: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Pasanin looked a little regretful, he shrugged and said: "Then you missed a good gun. Listen to me, guys, one million dollars sounds expensive, but you can have a gun that is not available on the market." This gun is not just a million dollars, but this gun is really excellent and totally worth a million dollars.”

Paul has a gun he is familiar with and will not choose a new gun as a combat rifle, because no matter how good the performance of the new gun is, the same is true for Xiao Ran.

In fact, the market for this Alexander No. 1 rifle is quite small. It is a rifle prepared for super shooters, and super shooters are rare and must have a main gun that cannot be replaced. Therefore, the Alexander No. 1 rifle needs to cultivate its own group of shooters.

Obviously, Pasanin thinks that Yang Yi is a potential customer who can be cultivated. It is impossible for Paul to buy it, and it is impossible for Xiao Ran to buy it, but Yang Yi, a super novice who will definitely become an excellent shooter, may buy it, so he took out the rifle. .

But Yang Yi really couldn't afford it.

After laughing twice, Yang Yi said with some reluctance: "Let's forget it, we can't afford it."

Pasanin looked a little regretful.

People choose guns, and guns also choose people. It is not enough for people to develop a new rifle, they must also cultivate a customer group for this new gun.

Rifles are not fast-moving consumer goods that will be eliminated after three or five years after they are released. It takes decades to produce a gun. There are so many new guns on the market now, but the best-selling ones are still the classic products. They are all decades-old products, so the Alexander No. 1 rifle is very good and precious, but Yang Yi, a newcomer who is destined to become an excellent shooter, is equally precious.

Of course Paul understood this. He pulled Yang Yi and said to Pasanin: "Look at him, robot! You can't miss him, absolutely not. If I were you, even if I give it to him for free, he still has to let him use me. rifle."

Pasanin hesitated for a while, then he nodded: "Okay, I can ask our leader, this is his hard work, maybe he is willing to sell it at a low price, but can he use this gun as his main rifle? "

Yang Yi immediately said: "Of course! As long as the price is right, I would love to own such a rifle."
