Chapter 195 Deal! (Bug Hunt) Government procurement around the world...
Chapter 195 Deal! (bug hunting)
After arriving in the United States, they rested for only one night and immediately began to inspect the dozen or so companies that had submitted applications the next day.
Yan Jiuru found that he had to visit at least three or four families on average every day.
This feels a bit like a superficial tour.
However, this is only a preliminary investigation, mainly to avoid the possibility that the other party is a shell company or is actually on the verge of bankruptcy, or has any disputes.
Equivalent to interview qualification review.
This is much more intuitive than paper review.
And, very useful.
On the first day, we discovered that the actual conditions of the two companies were seriously inconsistent with the paper materials submitted. One factory, which was so-called a technology-invested factory, had only a few workers working there and was clearly facing bankruptcy.
There is another one that is even more outrageous, even the factory address is fake.
Although the companies we visited the next day did not have such serious problems, we still found that the glorious history written by a car company that was planning a joint venture was actually the former "parent company", and it had long since become an independent company. They were completely different things.
The amount of investment and technology promised by such a company are very questionable.
After three days of running around, Minister Huang was cursing.
You don’t know until you see it, and it’s really shocking.
Yan Jiuru, who actively promoted this field investigation, also won the favor of the leaders.
"Well, Xiaoyan, our main group will leave for the Western Kingdom tomorrow. Can you finish your work in two days?"
Yan Jiuru thought about it and said, "Three days would be best for me, otherwise it would be too hasty."
Minister Huang didn't know what his mission was, and he couldn't ask.
But since Yan Jiuru said so, he must support it.
"Alright then. You can stay here under the pretext of studying the firefighting industry. You'll reunite with the main group in Frankfurt on your last day."
"OK!"
***
Thanks to the United States for its special role in firefighting.
In other countries, firefighting is funded by the government, but their country actually has private fire brigades.
This is easier to operate.
Money makes the world go round, and this is still prevalent in capitalist countries.
Yan Jiuru quickly contacted his agent and graduate supervisor, and after several twists and turns, he finally found a private fire brigade with good qualifications. He paid a sum of money and went in to attend a half-day "private teaching" course with quick operation training.
It was a coincidence that Yan Jiuru wanted to enter the firefighting industry.
Before the fire, he had no idea about this and never paid special attention to it.
After studying for half a day, I realized that the fire protection in developed countries such as Europe and the United States has surpassed that of Xuan Country by at least twenty years.
The so-called firefighting is not just about putting out fires, it has extremely detailed divisions.
Yan Jiuru listened carefully to the explanations of several veteran fire chiefs, as well as several thick textbooks in his hands:
Although it is a bit of a pain, you must first understand the details of this industry before getting involved in fire-fighting equipment.
Learn it!
This is also a completely new field for him, and he must rise up!
Fortunately, he has an excellent memory and good comprehension ability.
“It can be roughly divided into two categories: fire fighting and disaster rescue.
Among them, fire extinguishing alone is divided into A, B, C, D, E, and F, each of which is matched with a dedicated fire extinguishing agent:
For example, Class A fires specifically refer to solid materials such as wood, paper, cotton, and linen, which can be extinguished with water-based fire extinguishers or foam fire extinguishers.
Class B fires involve liquids and fusible solids such as gasoline and alcohol. Water is not very effective in extinguishing these fires, and foam or carbon dioxide fire extinguishers must be used to isolate the air for effective fire extinguishing.
Class C fire... Combustible gases such as natural gas and hydrogen must be cut off before using a dry powder fire extinguisher...
Class D fires generally involve active metals (potassium, sodium, and magnesium). Water is strictly prohibited and special metal extinguishing agents or dry sand must be used for coverage.
Class E fires involve energized equipment, commonly known as electrical fires. In this case, it is best to use an insulated carbon dioxide or dry powder fire extinguisher after turning off the power.
Finally, there’s cooking oil (animal or vegetable oil). Haha, the best way to use this is actually with a pot lid!
In addition to these fires, the firefighting industry also involves the very important task of emergency rescue and disaster relief.
This is also very prominent in Xuan Country.
This is divided into three categories.
These include natural disaster relief, accident and disaster management, and social crisis response.
Most of the time, in addition to extinguishing fires, the fire brigade faces the most natural disasters, such as meteorological disasters (floods, typhoons), geological disasters (earthquakes, landslides), and forest fires like this one. Of course, the materials emphasize forest fires caused by drought, not man-made ones.
In addition, accident and disaster management includes hazardous chemical leaks (toxic gases/liquids), traffic accidents such as serious collisions of various land vehicles, train derailments, etc., as well as air disasters such as plane crashes and water disasters such as ship sinkings.
Collapsed buildings and bridges are also among the rescue efforts.
Another type is the disposal of explosions and explosives, as well as biochemical pollution treatment, which occurs only once in a thousand years.
However, in most cases, there are dedicated departments to deal with this, and the fire department only assists in the response and does some post-processing work.
Yan Jiuru put a question mark on his notes. He felt that this could be ignored for the time being in China. At least he didn't need to think so much about it in the short term.
Looking at the equipment involved, in addition to the most common fire trucks, ladders, and fire extinguishers, there are also various demolition tools. In addition to conventional crowbars, hacksaws and even electric saws, there are also hydraulic pliers, hydraulic shears, expanders, breakers, etc.
There are many types of fire trucks. In addition to large-capacity water tankers, there are also special ladder trucks, aerial work fire platforms, etc.
Yan Jiuru spent half a day cramming all this information into his head. In the evening, he invited a few old buddies from the fire department to dinner and continued chatting with them.
You should know that many things based on experience are not written in textbooks.
After a meal at a high-end restaurant, Yan Jiuru felt that the hundreds of dollars were worth it!
***
After finishing his studies, he immediately changed into a custom-made shirt and suit, and went to play with his agent in a dashing manner.
Hessen Bar.
Yan Jiuru held a wine glass, leaned on the bar, and glanced out the window.
"Squeak", a sapphire blue top luxury sports car stopped.
Under the lights of the bar, the sapphire blue car body seemed to have dazzling rays of light flowing through it.
"It's FREEDOM!" someone whispered.
"Hey, YAN, you guy, you only remembered me after three days!" Michael punched him in the chest without any hesitation.
Yan Jiuru laughed and punched back.
He looked at Michael calmly and felt that he seemed to have matured a lot.
"Where did you get your tan? Why is it so dark?"
I don't know if all white people want to change their skin color. Not only do they go on vacation all the time, but they also like to get tanned.
It is called "beautifying skin!"
Yan Jiuru was also puzzled. Since he liked dark skin so much, why did he always look down on Africans and black people?
Facing Yan Jiuru's questioning, Michael had a look of "you don't understand" on his face, and changed the subject to talk about the purpose of Yan Jiuru's visit this time.
Yan Jiuru certainly knew that skin color was not a good topic, as it might involve politics, so he didn't say much, but instead took the opportunity to talk about his plan to join the firefighting industry.
"...You know, there was a major forest fire in our country some time ago. I personally participated in extinguishing the fire and saw it with my own eyes...
From that moment on, I had this idea.”
Michael patted his shoulder comfortingly, "I understand."
He pondered for a moment and said, "You might not know this, but about seven or eight years ago, I was at the Westin Hotel when a massive fire broke out. I luckily escaped."
He turned the beautiful cocktail glass, as if lost in memory: "Fortunately, the fire was on the floor above us, and the fire and smoke were rising, so we evacuated through the fire escape.
On the floors above, people in several rooms had not come out yet.
After I came out and stood far away, I saw with my own eyes someone being forced to jump off a building... "
He shook his head. “There wasn’t an air mattress down there yet.”
It is conceivable that even though he knew that jumping would mean death, he could not bear it.
He raised his head and looked at Yan Jiuru: "Yan, you know, in fact, only a small number of people were killed in the fire. Most people died from the smoke produced by the fire."
Yan Jiuru certainly knew about it; he had heard about it from the guys in the fire department.
He looked him over again: "Okay, have you done your homework?"
Michael sneered, "I only learned some fire escape tips after I narrowly escaped death."
"But, Yan, I want to say that although I don't know much, I also know that this industry is very expensive. Maybe all your previous companies combined might not be enough to cover the cost."
"But if you insist on doing it, I support you!"
"Thanks!"
The two men high-fived and shook hands!
***
Michael took the initiative to gesture for the two of them to go outside for a walk and talk.
Speaking of fire trucks, Yan Jiuru said, "You know, I studied industrial vehicle design in college and graduate school. I'm not ambitious, and it doesn't matter how deep my experience in the industry is. I can start with simple small equipment and slowly learn by accumulating experience."
"Oh? That's quite different from the impression you gave me."
Yan Jiuru slapped Michael's arm vigorously: "That must be your misunderstanding. I have always been a practical person."
"So you want to get fire extinguishers first? That's actually pretty easy and inexpensive. Besides, as far as I know, whether it's our federal government, Great Britain, or even European countries, firefighting equipment is purchased with government funds."
At this point, he suddenly laughed and leaned close to Yan Jiuru's ear: "I remembered that this thing has an advantage that other products don't have. Do you want to hear it?"
Yan Jiuru glanced at him and asked, "You want to invest in it?"
"No, no, no!" Michael shook his finger. "You know, even though this thing looks simple, the government may not allow it."
"So what do you want?"
We are all businessmen, who doesn’t know who?
This guy wouldn't be so kind.
Michael's expression lost its joking ease.
After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Yan, I don't want anything!
But I also want to thank you, thanks to your explosion-proof car.
Otherwise, something terrible might have happened to my old man at the end of last month."
"Ah?" I haven't heard of this before.
However, considering the status of Michael's family and his father's reputation, even if something happened, the news would probably have been suppressed early.
It's normal that outsiders don't know.
"Can you tell me what's going on? You know, as a manufacturer, I need to know the necessary information to adjust the vehicle for optimal safety."
"I understand."
***
Things are actually not complicated.
The Michael family is considered an old money family in the United States. With so much money, they naturally move closer to politics.
Politics has always been extremely risky.
Old Mike was running for state legislator and had an accident in a parking lot while preparing to give a speech at a university.
Someone threw earth-explosive bombs and grenades under the vehicle.
Although it is a homemade earth bomb, the explosion is no less violent than that of TNT professional explosives.
Coincidentally, that day Old Mike was using the highest-level explosion-proof car customized by his youngest son Michael, and Yan Jiuru had cut in line for him.
Old Mike also had an explosion-proof modified car, but since he ran for election, he always felt unsafe, so he replaced it with his son's car.
Unexpectedly, this decision saved his life.
Because from the police station's subsequent investigation results, if the original explosion-proof vehicle could not withstand it at all and the vehicle was damaged and could not be driven, the other party would most likely take the second step.
Yan Jiuru's highest-level explosion-proof vehicles are all embedded with high-level Golden Bell Cover talismans, which is equivalent to an extra layer of external protection for the vehicle. The talisman is activated after the explosion and does not affect the performance of the vehicle.
Even the enemy's bullets had little effect on the tires and fuel tanks.
The driver drove out at full speed.
At the same time, the vehicle's alarm horn kept honking all the way.
I used to think this speaker was so stupid, but now I realize how valuable it is.
Because mobile phones have only recently become popular in the United States, the signals are frequently interrupted and there are often blind spots in calls.
The other party obviously had a plan in advance. The whole way they came out of the underground parking garage was in a signal blind spot, and they couldn't use their mobile phones to call the police for help.
Michael was at a loss for words: "It was only thanks to that stupid loud speaker blaring along that passersby helped call the police."
"Has the suspect been caught?"
"You know, those people in the police station are trash. We might as well rely on ourselves if we can't rely on them."
"Actually, the police didn't need to bother. They could have made a rough guess. I just didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless."
Although Michael himself is a salted fish, the prerequisite is that his father and family are supportive, otherwise, he, the salted fish, will not be able to lie flat.
***
"So, let me tell you a secret: when governments around the world purchase equipment for firefighting and disaster relief, they don't look at price. They only have one requirement: it must have the best performance!"
He tilted his head to look at Yan Jiuru, and raised his eyebrows: "Do you know why?"
Yan Jiuru frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Could it be because he's involved in my own safety?"
Michael laughed out loud and said, "That's not wrong."
"Yan, you have to understand that whether it's extinguishing a fire or rescuing people, every second counts in order to save lives..."
Compared to life, what is price?!
***
The Mike family owes Yan Jiuru a life.
Foreigners also value gratitude.
One of their ways was to help contact several high-end fire protection brand manufacturers in the United States. Michael took Yan Jiuru to visit each of their manufacturers, trying his best to provide him with convenience in understanding the industry and products.
Unfortunately, due to the United States' policy towards Xuan Country, key technologies such as heavy chassis cannot be shown to him.
In fact, Yan Jiuru had already scanned it with his spiritual sense and memorized it.
Just writing it down does not mean that it can be completely copied and transplanted. Many technical supporting raw materials, production equipment, etc. are not available.
After spending a day and a half on this, Yan Jiuru spent another day inspecting the sales and service conditions of the agent's stores.
What surprised him was that the orders for explosion-proof vehicles placed through Michael increased by dozens in the past few days!
"What's going on? Has the news of your attack been leaked?"
Michael snorted coldly, "They are all bloodthirsty sharks. They will come if there is even a hint of blood."
Yan Jiuru flicked the order in his hand and said, "These will be scheduled until the year after next. You have to make it clear to the customers that the factory can't trade time for safety. It takes time to achieve a good enough result."
Michael: "Don't worry about that. They will definitely be waiting in line with money in hand. At most, someone will pay to cut in line."
Yan Jiuru said, "Don't bother me with this."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Although it's good to spend money, he has to be able to earn it.
It is not easy to make high-level explosion-proof vehicles.
Besides, who among those at the front isn’t a big shot?
It would be inappropriate to squeeze anyone out.
***
However, what Yan Jiuru did not expect was that this was not the end, but just the beginning.
The following day, he quietly went to inspect his two islands and took the opportunity to crack down on the pirates who had started causing trouble while he was away.
On the Emerald Isle, he was blocked by Fred.
"Yan, you're so mean. You actually left without saying goodbye."
If he hadn't known that Yan Jiuru would definitely come to his two islands to check on the business, he would have missed it.
At this moment, Yan Jiuru was leading his men in a speedboat, carrying a rocket launcher, and chasing the pirate ship in front.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
“Boom, boom!”
It was still quite far away, but Yan Jiuru fired several shots in a row.
The mercenaries under his command held heavy machine guns and fired "da da da, da da da".
Fred hid in the hold of the speedboat, watching Yan Jiuru with shining eyes as he fired fire, arrows and bullets skillfully.
I am so envious.
It's a pity that he only has the intention to steal but not the courage to do it.
It was also a coincidence that he came. Yan Jiuru's action plan had already begun and could not be changed because of Fred's arrival. But he was worried about his safety, so he had to take him with him to fight the pirates.
After all, under his nose, safety is not a problem.
***
Ammunition poured in like it was free, and soon the pirate ship raised a white flag.
"Wulihuala..." The pirates carefully stuck their heads out with guns in hand, shouting incomprehensible words.
Yan Jiuru ignored them.
These bastards always sit back when they poop!
Surrendering now is to save your life, so you can turn around and pick up the gun and continue fighting.
"Keep fighting!" He would not accept surrender.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Another round of rockets, and bombs!
The pirate ship was shattered, and a group of pirates either jumped into the sea or were killed in the explosion. In short, it slowly sank.
Yan Jiuru's speedboat rushed over and circled around. He looked at the pirates struggling to swim and sneered: It's indeed a familiar face.
He gestured to the speedboat following behind: "No need to rescue, just shoot."
These unrepentant pirates deserved death.
The repeated harassment of his two islands had a significant impact on his business.
We have to teach them a lesson.
After destroying five or six pirate dens in a row, this area will be peaceful for a year or two.
***
Yan Jiuru spat out the cigarette butt and said to Fred, "You're really in a hurry. What didn't you tell me when we met the day before yesterday?"
Fred came ashore, shrugged, and sat down next to him. He said, "There's nothing we can do, Yan. Didn't you watch the news? The news broke that Old Mike was bombed."
Of course it wasn't the police who broke the news, but a tabloid reporter.
Because the explosion-proof vehicle's horn was blaring and broadcasting distress messages all the way, many people heard and saw it.
It was because of this that others called the police and he was saved.
Therefore, the Mike family also knew in their hearts that they could not cover up the mouths of all those who knew the truth. The fact that it took so many days to reveal the truth was a great honor given by the tabloid reporters to the Mike family.
Yan Jiuru was wearing a camouflage military uniform, sitting on a beach chair with his legs spread out. On his left hand was a rocket launcher that still smelled of gunpowder, AK, 47 across his legs, a bullet belt around his waist, and on his right hand was a bunch of cute little grenades.
So fucking generous!
Fred's expectations dropped again. He said, "When the news came out, the Mike family didn't deny it, and the police department responded vaguely, saying that everything would wait for the results of the investigation."
This is equivalent to default.
The tabloid reporter had done his homework and wrote in great detail about the incident, from the explosion in the underground garage to the pursuit and shooting along the way.
It can be said that it is basically the same as the actual situation.
"Someone even took a picture of the car. It was published in the newspaper."
So, soon, several agents received a large number of expedited orders.
Yan Jiuru said the same thing: "It won't be fast, even if the president places an order, it won't be fast, it will be scheduled until next year or the year after next."
Fred looked a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Yan Jiuru glanced at him, "Are you holding your pee?"
What the hell is holding your pee!
Fred said painfully, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"
ah?
Now it's Yan Jiuru's turn to be in trouble.
"No way?" Yan Jiuru blinked in confusion.
meeting!
Fred demonstrated through his actions that the strength of Fred's family far exceeded that of Mike's family.
Their agency received many orders from government officials.
"They all came to me on their own initiative. Two state legislators, one Democrat, two..."
Yan Jiuru gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't cut in line. Advanced explosion-proof vehicles take time."
Fred raised an eyebrow. "We can sell you a batch of retired special fire trucks as obsolete items. We can also give you five sets of the most advanced demolition tools at a 20% discount!"
"make a deal!"
There's no way, it's too much.
