I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 599 A Bigger Plan

This is the most lethal and convincing reason Chen Chen can think of to Yegor.

Do you want to be the next Kalashnikov?
A person who truly loves guns cannot resist this temptation.

Not to mention, he actually has such ability.

Following the trajectory of its previous life, ORSIS finally turned to imitation, OEM, and parts supply after many unsuccessful attempts to develop its own guns.

Chen Chen didn't believe that Yegor, as the founder, didn't have any ambitions in his heart.

And sure enough, after he said this, Yegor was stunned on the spot.

"What does it mean?"

He looked at Chen Chen and asked.

"That's exactly what it says. The reason we want to acquire you is not to force you to produce a large number of inferior imitations that can be made on any production line, nor is it to make a quick buck by reselling arms."

"We have so many industries that we don't need this little bit of profit."

“We want to be pioneers and truly establish our own influence.”

"So, we want to make guns, to create."

"A new gun?"

Yegor stood up and asked with a slightly excited look.

"Yes."

"What kind of gun?"

He continued to ask.

"Large caliber, high chamber pressure, high penetration automatic rifle."

"What caliber?"

"6.8mm."

"6.8??"

Yegor was completely shocked.

In fact, the 6.8mm caliber is not a new thing. Not to mention the Setmai L-type assault rifle which was only born a few years ago, the Yuannian rifle as early as 1888 was already using 6.8*57mm bullets.

However, the 6.8mm caliber bullets at that time had little relevance to modern bullets. To put it bluntly, they were just smaller in diameter.

And now that Chen Chen has proposed the concept of 6.8 caliber, Yegor believes that he must have considered it carefully.

"Do you already have a design plan?"

"No, just a preliminary idea."

Chen Chen answered honestly.

After he finished speaking, Yegor was visibly relieved.

Reasonable!

If there is a plan, is it still my turn to do this job?

Not to mention that you can assemble the equipment and make it yourself, wouldn’t it be easy to just ask the big brother behind them for support?

Of course, what he didn't know was that even if he really had a plan, Chen Chen didn't intend to cooperate with the big brother in the north.

It’s not because of distrust, but simply because it’s “inappropriate”.

The North is now in a critical period of updating and replacing guns. The design plan for the next generation of guns has basically taken shape, and industrial and industrial cooperation has also begun preparations.

If you take out a gun yourself and use a process that is completely different from their plan, it is highly likely that you will not get approval.

Even if it is approved, if the control of the gun falls into the hands of the North, it will not be convenient for us to sell it to other countries or to use it for our own armament.

It’s better to try to make it yourself first. When you have it, it will be much smoother when you talk about cooperation.

In essence, whether or not to cling to the North when making guns is a question of "cooperation or vassalage".

Chen Chen is more inclined to the former. Even if he has a special feeling for the north, he has to consider himself and his people.
However, Chen Chen would certainly not tell Yegor about this situation.

The North is his background and also his trump card. Relying on this trump card, he can try to get more benefits from Yegor.

"So, what is the specific level of thinking?"

"Did they only consider making a 6.8mm rifle, or did they already have a certain technical foundation?"

"I'm not going to answer that question."

Chen Chen shook his head and continued:

"I can only tell you that ORSIS is an option, not the only option."

"If you don't accept the acquisition proposal, we can find someone else."

"The gun will definitely be made, whether you are there or not."

"clear."

Yegor nodded solemnly, and after thinking for a few seconds, he finally spoke:
"I have to discuss this with the company's board of directors before I can give you an answer."

“And even if an acquisition agreement is finally reached, we must retain our seat on the board of directors and participate in the company’s decision-making.”

"ORSIS only."

Chen Chen added.

If you want to take over this company, you can't do it without delegating power, and you can't delegate power completely either.

Giving them some power to make independent decisions is far more reasonable and efficient than taking everything into your own hands.

Anyway, as long as Dongfeng Group maintains absolute control over ORSIS, it will be enough to ensure that ORSIS does not get out of control.

"Of course, only in ORSIS."

Yegor smiled again. He extended his hand to Chen Chen and asked:
"Although you didn't introduce yourself, I'm guessing that you are Mr. Shipwreck."

"It's an honor to meet you. Do you need me to arrange accommodation for you?"

"You got it backwards."

Chen Chen smiled.

"You don't arrange accommodation for us, we arrange accommodation for you."

"From now on, your company, including everyone in the factory, must be under the surveillance of the FIA."

"Before we leave, you are not allowed to leave the factory, contact the outside world, or ship any products or information to the outside world."

"If the cooperation is reached, you must leave Pakistan with me."

"If cooperation cannot be achieved, you can resume normal operations after we leave."

Wow, the guest has taken the initiative.

After saying this, Shi Dakai, who was standing next to Chen Chen, nodded with satisfaction.

At first, he thought it was too risky for Chen Chen to come here in person, but now it seems that his vigilance has never been lowered.

He is still the captain that he is familiar with, and still the soldier who is always treading on thin ice.

Yegor on the other side subconsciously touched his chin, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded:

“Then I hope the FIA ​​staff can assist me in informing Mr. Jahanzeb Khan of POF.”

“In addition, I need to meet with Mr. Zardari of the Ministry of Interior to discuss changes in the cooperation model.”

"no problem."

Chen Chen turned to the SSG leader who was waiting on the side. The latter nodded and gave Chen Chen a thumbs-up gesture.

"You have 24 hours to discuss and prepare."

“I hope the final result will satisfy both of us.”

"Of course, I hope so!"

Yegor and Chen Chen finally held hands. After a brief greeting, the SSG leader began to arrange subsequent security tasks.

All ORSIS-related members, including ANFA, were gathered in the factory dormitory, while Chen Chen and his team left the ORSIS factory and headed for the scheduled destination. This was a heavily protected villa. According to the team leader, the villa and the surrounding area had been cleared two days before the plane landed, eliminating all safety hazards.

But even so, Shi Dakai still did his best to personally check all the risk points, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he take Chen Chen into the villa.

After closing the door and sitting on the sofa, everyone, who had been a little nervous all the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that you would convince him with such a reason in the end."

Peng Xucheng spoke first.

His expression seemed somewhat helpless - or rather, he looked powerless because his talent had nowhere to be utilized.

Looking at his expression, Chen Chen smiled and said:

"That's not persuasion at all."

"I just put an irresistible temptation in front of him, so that he had to consider the feasibility of this matter."

"The real persuasion will come after you officially start to get in touch with him."

"We have limited knowledge about this company right now. In these 24 hours, you should collect as much intelligence as possible. If you can get decisive information, that would be even better."

"Since it is an acquisition, there must be a consideration."

“I hope this price can be kept within a reasonable level.”

"clear."

Peng Xucheng nodded and then asked:
"What do you think the probability is that they will eventually agree to cooperate? How sure are you?"

"Ten percent."

Chen Chen replied without hesitation:

"It is inevitable that they will cooperate with us. As far as I know, their current investors, in addition to some small capital in Russia, are Pakistan's POF."

"These capital forces either lack professionalism or lack broader development space."

"ORSIS can rely on these forces to develop rapidly, but at the same time, their upper limit is also limited."

"If they want to develop further, they will definitely need to introduce new forces."

"And we are their best choice."

"Of course, the premise is that the Russian authorities do not interfere."

"But I think it's unlikely that they would intervene in such a small company."

"That's what I judged."

Peng Xucheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"So that means the next negotiation will most likely be a process of bargaining."

"This is something I'm good at. Fortunately, I can help."

"Nonsense, if you can't help, why would I call you over?"

Chen Chen clicked his tongue twice, as if he suddenly remembered something, and continued:

"One more thing."

"Pakistan's gun import policy is being tightened, but I expect there will be a retaliatory rebound in gun smuggling imports before 2016."

"This is a big business. Have you figured out how to make the money?"

".Didn't you just say in front of Yegor that we don't need to make money by reselling arms?"

"Are you kidding me? Does bragging in front of a client count?"

Chen Chen waved his hand and replied:
"Unlike selling guns to Africa or America, the market here is very mature and the procedures are very simple."

"With the most basic skills, you can sell guns like toilet paper and make a pretty high profit."

"And there's one more thing. Haven't you noticed? This market is in desperate need of something new."

"And the new things I'm talking about are not NATO weapons."

"Weapons of the North."

Peng Xucheng continued.

"Yes."

Chen Chen nodded slowly. He was worried that Peng Xucheng didn't see this trend, but judging from his reaction, he was obviously worrying too much.

According to previous experience, the large-scale replacement of Russian weapons in Peshawar with northern weapons probably occurred between 2011 and 2016.

During this period, the relationship between Pakistan and the countries to the north completely entered a honeymoon period, and cooperation in various aspects continued to deepen. At the same time, with a large number of military-industrial enterprises including Poly Technologies going overseas, the north's demand for market expansion has also continued to increase.

Represented by the Type 97 rifle, northern weapons quickly flooded into the Peshawar market and gradually became one of the most popular weapons here after the Type 56 assault rifle.

What Chen Chen wanted to do was to let Peng Xucheng seize this opportunity.

It’s not about stealing the food from the big guys in the north, but about lending a hand and helping them serve the food.

As long as we can get on this line, it is not only about making money, but the subsequent cooperation can also be further deepened.

"It's a... big plan."

Peng Xucheng frowned and thought for half a minute before he spoke:
"It looks like we are just selling guns, but in fact, we are touching upon the foundation of interests between two major forces."

"If we want to proceed smoothly, there are at least two points that must be guaranteed."

"First, make sure we can do a better job than they could do in person."

"Second, make sure we can handle any troubles, or if any troubles arise, they are not involved."

"These two points alone are already quite difficult."

"Not to mention, we have a whole host of specific issues to address."

"Including sourcing, transportation, marketing, distribution, etc."

"That's your problem."

Chen Chen spread his hands.

"I believe you can handle it, right?"

".Give me some time, I'll try."

Peng Xucheng gritted his teeth and finally nodded.

Chen Chen gave him a thumbs up with satisfaction, stood up from the sofa, and walked to the window.

Looking at the vigilant SSG security personnel standing outside the window, he said with some emotion:
"We have also gotten to the point where we have private security. Logically speaking, the regular army protects the mercenaries. Don't you think this is quite abstract?"

".really."

Shi Dakai also stood up and said after thinking for a moment:
"I'll go ask them for a few guns, even pistols."

"No permit should be required for temporary possession of a gun, and even if it is required, it shouldn't be difficult to make an exception."

"In a place like this, if you don't have a gun in your hand, it's like being naked. You don't feel safe at all."

"Do not worry."

Chen Chen waved his hand and replied:
"Pakistan is safer than you think. At least here we are less likely to be hunted by the CIA and DEVGRU."

"Even big countries have their own tacit understanding. Being able to enter the country means we are safe."

"That doesn't affect my need for a gun - do you not wear clothes in your own home?"

".Too."

Chen Chen shook his head and said after a moment of silence:

"If you want a gun, don't ask the SSG for it."

"Go tell them, and then take two people with you to Bella Road to buy some equipment."

"Guns, bullets, body armor, and other equipment."

"I want to see what we can gather in this place!"
