"Comrade Major General Gud Yef, I understand your feelings..."
"But Huayong Industrial is a veritable leading enterprise in Great Xia. We can't just do foreign trade orders. We should also promote to the domestic market and allocate at least half of our quota for domestic trade demand..."
"Hmm, as compensation, as long as the Phantom-class powered mechs you personally handle purchases are concerned, the weapon prohibition clauses in the core modules will be lifted. Of course, modifying weapon modules on the mech body itself will still be impossible..."
"Please remember, Huayong Industrial is a private enterprise, and the Phantom-class powered mech is a wearable exoskeleton armor developed for high-net-worth, high-wealth individuals..."
Huh?
Lifting the weapon prohibition clauses in the core modules?
Doesn't that mean, unlike the mechs exported to Western Alliance countries like the United States, the mech pilots can carry heavy-caliber cannons, anti-tank infantry mortars, and other weapons around?
Moreover, Meng Hao specifically emphasized that only the mechs he personally handled would have this function.
Doesn't that mean that not only the United States and Western Alliance countries don't have this treatment, but even other colleagues in Bear Country responsible for military procurement can only buy ordinary export versions... while he, Comrade Major General Gud Yef, would get a specially approved version from Meng Hao.
From then on, relying on trade with Huayong Industrial.
Gud Yef's status in the military circles of Bear Country was secured.
Even if he didn't make any fundamental mistakes, his career would surely prosper, and he would rise all the way up.
Understanding the whole situation, Gud Yef hugged his phone and chuckled.
Mm.
Brother Hao is good.
This brother is reliable.
He can provide me with a specially made powered mech against the pressure from other Western Alliance countries.
It's not in vain that I've been thinking about treating him to "water of life" vodka and considering him an unseen foreign brother.
"Brother Hao."
"You're generous."
"When you say you'll help, you really come through!"
Major General Gud Yef, who was overjoyed and flattered, happily ran back to the live broadcast room to continue chatting and joking with the audience from Great Xia.
As for the fact that the export version and the domestically purchased version of the Phantom-class powered mech had similar performance but a sevenfold price difference, he didn't care at all, nor did he have any sense of being ripped off.
Brother Hao was so accommodating, giving him such great privilege and selling him a specially made Phantom mech.
What's wrong with spending a little money?
...
Near cinnabar, one is dyed red; near ink, one is dyed black.
The ancients did not deceive me.
As a straightforward science girl, Qin Muyan, who a little over a month ago was full of ideals and ambitions, claiming she would rely on her talent and never deceive people with her looks, seemed to have had her personality somewhat swayed by Meng Hao.
Seeing the sales heat in the live broadcast room slowly declining.
The rate of pre-ordering powered mechs had dropped from 147 units sold in less than a minute to only one unit every one or two minutes.
Qin Muyan began to truly perform her job duties.
As the anchor hired by Meng Hao with a high salary.
She suddenly realized that besides helping Huayong Industrial build its reputation, her main job was live-streaming sales.
Brother Hao was right.
As long as it didn't harm the security of Great Xia or national interests.
A businessman should be cunning in business.
If you have good looks, you should use them to build rapport and then complete sales and orders.
"Dudes, have you checked out the high-value powered mechs? They're available everywhere, in the sky and on the ground, across the five lakes and four seas, worldwide. Only here, no other branches..."
"Don't miss out, folks. Huayong Industrial's latest powered mech, the Phantom. Missing today means regretting the whole year..."
"We're having a massive clearance sale! For a million, you won't get cheated, you won't be fooled..."
"For a million, you can't afford a Maybach, you can't afford a spaceship, you can't afford a nuclear bomb, but you can get a world-class powered mech..."
Abandoning her persona as a science girl, Qin Muyan, with her universally loved, flower-blooming first-love face, unreservedly used her looks to build rapport and then aggressively pushed sales.
This feeling of letting go and indulging herself.
It was simply... damn exhilarating!
One moment of indulgence is wonderful, and continuous indulgence is always wonderful!
Seeing Qin Muyan, who had learned so quickly and showed signs of surpassing her teacher, Meng Hao was very pleased.
This was what a qualified sales anchor should be like!
Seeing that Qin Muyan had become proficient so quickly, Meng Hao shifted his attention and wholeheartedly began to prepare for shipping.
Mm.
After all, it was the first shipment.
Even though there were dedicated staff, Meng Hao decided to handle it personally.
The first person to purchase a mech... which was the powered mech Meng Hao used for testing today... was a user from Jinan City.
After providing fingerprint, iris, genetic code, and other relevant data as per Meng Hao's requirements.
Meng Hao happily congratulated the user named Chen Kun.
"As the first purchaser of Huayong Industrial's new powered mech, I congratulate you..."
"We will immediately ship to the address you provided..."
"Produced by Huayong Industrial, guaranteed to be an industry benchmark. Technology changes life, innovation leads the future. Huayong Industrial is dedicated to serving you..."
After Meng Hao personally demonstrated and established a domestic sales order and shipping process.
The truck head that had previously sent Meng Hao flying was re-attached to the trailer and departed for shipping.
...
On the highway.
The truck carrying the first Phantom-class powered mech drove slowly and unhurriedly in the slow lane.
There was still some distance to the highway entrance.
On the ring road, the truck driver, prioritizing safety, maintained a steady speed of sixty kilometers per hour.
Strangely.
The ring road, which was usually not congested, was now bumper-to-bumper.
Even more bizarrely.
The fast lane and the overtaking lane to the left of the slow lane were completely empty, with very few vehicles overtaking.
About three car lengths behind the truck.
Xu Ding drove his car casually, ignoring his girlfriend's complaints.
"I say, classmate Xu Ding, we're supposed to have dinner with my parents today..."
"You're not even in a hurry to meet your mother-in-law. Do you not love me anymore?"
"At this speed, even I, a female driver, drive faster than you..."
Facing his girlfriend's complaints.
Xu Ding, an experienced driver, was unfazed.
He still calmly tapped the brakes, afraid of accelerating too much and having to move to the fast or overtaking lane.
"Darling, what nonsense are you talking about? In this world, the woman I love most is you..."
"I'm also in a hurry to meet your parents, but driving is about safety first..."
"If everyone isn't using the fast lane or overtaking lane, it means there's definitely a problem with the road..."
"No rush, let's drive slowly. Even if we're a little late, my parents definitely won't mind, right..."
