Chapter 598 Kalashnikov
Approaching the ORSIS factory building, a huge mechanical roar could be heard immediately.
Unlike the small workshop on Beira Road, this factory has obviously initially reached the scale of a modern mechanical processing plant.
Chen Chen didn't know where their equipment came from or how it was transported to Peshawar, but it was obvious that the Pakistani government had reached an agreement with Maozi.
——
In fact, this is not a very counterintuitive fact.
The reason is simple. Pakistan imports too many weapons, especially light weapons, every year, so much that it has even shaken the foundation of its military industry.
Therefore, starting in 2010, Pakistani officials began to introduce various policies to restrict the import of foreign weapons, and gradually tightened them over the next ten years.
The violent turmoil in the Middle East obviously accelerated this process, so that ORSIS, which was not supposed to land in Pakistan, finally came here.
Before Chen Chen and his party could reach the door of the factory, security guards with guns on alert had already spotted them. After a stern scolding, the security personnel at the front door immediately raised their guns and pointed them at everyone.
This scene made Chen Chen a little surprised.
It stands to reason that in Peshawar, gun factories are as ubiquitous as the plastic toy processing factories in the big northern countries. It may indeed have security, but it will never be sensitive to this level.
So what if you are more advanced?
What was created was not a gun.
Chen Chen looked at the approaching security personnel with some curiosity. The latter aggressively formed a battle formation in an inverted triangle formation, forming a vague encirclement of Chen Chen and his party.
"This is private property! Leave immediately!"
Good guy, are you still resorting to the castle method?
Chen Chen, who couldn't laugh or cry, took a step forward, but before him, the leader of SSG had already stood in front of him and directly reached out and took out his ID.
Of course, what he was carrying could not be the SSG certificate, but the FIA certificate.
Namely, the FBI of Pakistan.
The history of this thing can be traced back to 1942. At the beginning, its main function was to investigate official corruption within Pakistan. It had great authority but a very narrow scope of responsibilities.
However, judging from historical experience, expansion is the fate of powerful organizations. Starting in 1969, the FIA went through a series of police reforms and eventually developed into a comprehensive federal police law enforcement agency.
Compared with the FBI in the United States, this thing is directly under the central government and is only responsible to the central government. It has stronger control and higher prestige. Even to ordinary people, the FIA represents the president to a large extent.
Therefore, the moment the SSG leader took out his FIA certificate, the local Pakistani security personnel immediately softened.
They lowered their guns and subconsciously took two steps back before speaking:
"Sir, this is the factory of ORSIS. We are the security personnel of Anfa Company and are responsible for the safety of this factory."
"We are not the person in charge. If you want to find the person in charge of ORSIS, I can notify you immediately."
After hearing the security personnel's statement from the interpreter, Chen Chen sighed and said:
"This is a rush to separate the relationship. It really has no professional ethics."
"Remember, if we have similar business in the future, we must add this principle to it."
"We are only responsible to the employer. As for offending the official, we can directly put it on the employer."
".You're no better than them!"
Shi Dakai said funnyly.
"But at least in the eyes of a third party, this is more professional."
Chen Chen looked forward again. At this time, the SSG team leader had completed preliminary communication with the ORSIS security personnel, and after expressing their intentions, the other party finally relaxed.
The factory door was quickly opened, and the group entered the factory without any hindrance.
After truly seeing the internal facilities of the factory, Chen Chen finally understood why this small gun factory could become one of the leaders in precision rifle manufacturing in just ten years.
major.
Everything is vividly demonstrating the word "professional".
Not only because of their advanced equipment, but more importantly because of the safety signs that can be seen everywhere, the strictly scientific color-coded functional divisions, the spacious internal roads and the uniform uniforms.
These details may not seem like much to most laymen, but in fact, the prerequisite for manufacturing high-precision firearms is to ensure that every detail is strictly controlled, and these appearances are the external manifestations of the rules.
This thing is like Van Halen's chocolate beans. It doesn't affect the performance, but it is absolutely impossible to prepare a perfect performance.
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Peng Xucheng and said:
"Our goal is to poach the entire team, including their equipment and manpower."
"The best-case scenario would be to acquire their entire company outright."
"If they are unwilling to leave, or cannot leave because of the agreement with Pakistan, we will at least let them replicate such a factory one-to-one in Myitkyina."
"This is your mission, do you understand?"
"clear."
Peng Xucheng nodded immediately.
Like Chen Chen, he also discovered the specialness of this company as soon as he entered the factory. For a manager like him who wants to develop Dongfeng Group in a professional direction, ORSIS is undoubtedly helpful. He has a fatal attraction.
What’s even more irresistible is that ORSIS is still a startup.
A start-up company has already shown such qualities when it just started. If it can catch the mistakes at this point in time, the subsequent development of Dongfeng Group will definitely benefit greatly.
Peng Xucheng frowned slightly, and countless thoughts about how to negotiate flashed through his mind.
He knew that the next thing would depend on him.
On the battlefield, perhaps Chen Chen is a professional.
But in the mall, you can never convince the other party with bullets or cannonballs.
To obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum cost, you must engage in intrigue, spend every penny, and show your determination to win and your unstoppable ability.
The group continued to move forward, and after entering the factory area, they finally saw the first receptionist from ORSIS.
The Russian man in a suit shook hands with Chen Chen and his team one after another and introduced them into the office behind the factory.
The man didn't know Chen Chen's true purpose yet. He thought that these people just got permission from the Pakistani government to come to visit and study.
"Gentlemen, welcome."
"My name is Yegor, I am the person in charge here, and I am also the founder and main shareholder of ORSIS."
"Next, I will lead you to visit the factory."
"Our rules here may be different from other factories, but I hope you can understand that this is all to ensure the quality of the products."
"So, in the subsequent participation process, you may have some inconvenient or even offensive feelings, but believe me, that's all."
"Let's get straight to the point."
Chen Chen raised his hand to interrupt Yegor, and then said:
"We're not here to visit."
As soon as the words fell, Yegor's movements immediately froze on the spot.
But he didn't show anything strange. Instead, he raised his head slightly, looked in the direction of Chen Chen, and said with a gentle smile:
“If it’s not a visit, then it’s seeking cooperation.”
"But even cooperation is based on mutual understanding."
"So I think, sir, you don't need to be too anxious."
"We don't have that much time to waste."
Chen Chen shook his head and glanced at Peng Xucheng, who was waiting aside. The latter immediately stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Yegor, before this, we have never met or had direct contact."
"But I believe you must have heard our names."
"And our name is the basis for cooperation between the two parties."
Having said this, Peng Xucheng deliberately paused for a moment, deliberately trying to whet Yegor's appetite.
But this time, he made a mistake.
Yegor on the other side said the words "Dongfeng Group" without any pause after hearing his self-introduction.
Then, under the slightly surprised eyes of everyone, he said:
"Actually, I have already guessed your identity from the moment you entered the factory."
"Asian face, team leader injured, large convoy, FIA - or should I say SSG escort."
"I really can't imagine anyone else who could fit such characteristics except you."
"Of course, even without mentioning these things, I can guess your identities just by relying on intuition."
"Dongfeng Group's recent momentum is just too strong. You just ended the operation in Syria, right?"
"Congratulations, that's definitely an unprecedented victory."
"And I applaud your courage and belief."
"Believe me, this sentence has nothing to do with any business behavior. It is purely because, like you, I have the same hostility towards the common enemy."
Yegor's tone was still calm. He pointed to the sofa beside him and motioned for everyone to sit down. Then, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone present one by one.
"Sharing cigarettes with other people is not the right thing to do in our culture."
"But you see, I've learned some of your ways of getting along."
"So gentlemen, you should know that I have been preparing for your arrival."
"I'm not surprised that you found me because, in my mind, it was bound to happen."
After the words fell, Chen Chen finally sat up straighter.
He realized that the man in front of him might not be as simple as an ordinary "arms manufacturer".
"how do you know?"
Chen Chen asked.
"It's simple."
"You are a large group, and judging from the available intelligence, the incidents you have been involved in, both in scale and depth, far exceed the average level of your peers."
"This means that your goal is definitely not just to become a huge PMC organization."
"What you really want to do is become a military-industrial complex like Lockheed Martin and MPRI."
“The privatized military-industrial complex.”
"Now, you have not yet opened a breakthrough in military manufacturing, which determines that you must find new partners."
"As for who to look for, frankly speaking, I don't know."
"But, why can't it be us?"
clever.
Chen Chen couldn't help but admire quietly in his heart.
In fact, Yegor's speculation process was not so precise and mysterious. He just summarized the known information and made a rough judgment on the possible development direction of things.
What truly distinguished him from those ordinary arms dealers was his last sentence.
Why can't it be us?
The opportunity is there, no one knows who will ultimately fall on it.
But that didn't stop him from preparing for it.
This is definitely a trustworthy partner, and a more suitable partner than Chaisili.
This is because ORSIS, which is completely privatized, is subject to much fewer state and government constraints than Chaisili.
Chen Chen looked at Peng Xucheng, who nodded slightly and then said:
"So, we can jump right into discussions about cooperation methods?"
"That's the case in theory, but I'm curious. Don't you need to see the specific equipment and production conditions of our factory?"
Yegor asked with some confusion.
“That’s what technicians do, and as it happens, we don’t have technicians here.”
Chen Chen answered calmly, and Yegor's eyes widened in surprise. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask:
“How can we finalize the specific details of cooperation without technical personnel present?”
"This round, we will not make any agreements on the details."
Peng Xucheng raised his head slightly, looked into Yegor's eyes and said:
"As I said, what we need to finalize is the way to work together."
"We want to acquire ORSIS, in full, at a premium."
"This is impossible."
Yegor immediately shook his head and then explained:
"The reason why ORSIS appears in Pakistan shows that we have reached an agreement with the local government."
"I can see that you are a professional businessman and it is impossible not to understand this situation."
"So, an acquisition is out of the question, or at least, you can't just talk to me."
"We will not change your status quo in Pakistan."
Peng Xucheng interrupted Yegor and then said:
"We want you to use the channels of ORSIS to build a sufficiently advanced factory in Pubei that is more advanced than here."
"From this factory, you can get huge profits. Similarly, you can also rely on Dongfeng Group to achieve a development speed that far exceeds that of Pakistan."
"Sorry, this is not a very attractive offer to me."
Yegor shook his head and replied:
"Acquisition is impossible. My bottom line is deep cooperation."
"It's no problem if you want to locate the factory in Pubei, but..."
"Don't say too much."
Chen Chen stood up and interrupted Yegor again.
Then, he stared into Yegor's eyes and said:
"I just ask you one question."
"answer me."
"Do you want to become the second Kalashnikov?"
