v2 Chapter 848： Joint press conference two

Compared with the three major radio and television companies, traditional newspapers are far from each other in strength. Therefore, unlike the previous press conferences, the protagonists of this group of reporters can only be the hosts of major radio and television companies. Although newspaper reporters are upset, the best way at the moment is silence and patience. After all, in the face of great strength, others don't seem to value it that much.

No matter how strong the three major radio and television companies are, they cannot dominate. Kaspar Weinberg, as defense secretary, is his home here. And just now Ian Wright has introduced that he should speak first, of course he should be the top at this time. Even in the face of great difficulties and doubts, as the Minister of Defense, I cannot back down.

If you back down, you will be looked down upon. Kasper Weinberg represents the United States and the United States, and he can't afford to lose this person.

Caspar-Weinberg: "Welcome to the media and reporters to the Department of Defense. First of all, on behalf of the entire United States Department of Defense, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you."

"The media has always been a bridge for communication and delivery of information, and it is because of you. Any news in the world can be delivered to ordinary people."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan lamented that Kasper Weinberg deserved to be a lawyer. The level of speaking is very high, and it is watertight. It can be seen from the expressions of the reporters under the stage that they are probably embarrassed to embarrass the Minister of Defense for a while.

Caspar-Weinberg: "The purpose of the press conference today is to announce an important event. After careful research and discussion by the Ministry of Defense, all military vehicles retired this time, as well as partially sealed helicopters and small warships, will be released. Sold to the Black Cloud Group."

"That is to say, the Black Cloud Group will become a partner of the U.S. government and will be fully responsible for all matters related to the decommissioned equipment."

Hearing that Heiyun Automobile did not win the bid, the reaction of the media reporters was not as intense as when they first came in. Heiyun Group actually got the right to dispose of retired weapons and equipment, what the **** is this?

Is there something tricky in it, or is Bao Zixuan casting some magic on the top officials of the Ministry of Defense.

Why should the US Army's retired weapons and equipment be handed over to the Black Cloud Group? There are also many great companies in the United States, don't they all eat shit.

Seeing the discussion below, Caspar-Weinberg continued: "The sale of decommissioned weapons and equipment includes 300,000 military vehicles, more than 600 helicopters, and 8 small ships; the total contract value is 3.67 billion US dollars."

Although Caspar Weinberg said it lightly, it still shocked the reporters on the scene. After all, 300,000 military vehicles, more than 600 helicopters, and 8 warships were sold at once in the history of the United States. Even retired equipment is a force to be reckoned with.

Now selling directly to private companies, is it April Fool's Day? Many American journalists want to question Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg. Why sell American property to outsiders at a low price, you must figure out the problem, and it is best to deny the transaction.

American journalists don't care what the identity of the other party is, even if they just praised them.

Seeing the reporters talking about it below, Ian Wright, as the host, must come forward to stop it.

Ian Wright: "Reporters, please be quiet. Next, Mr. Bao Zixuan from Heiyun Group will give a speech."

The quality of journalists is relatively high, and this is the Ministry of Defense. It is not a place where anyone can be wild, and everyone dares to be wild. Hearing that Bao Zixuan was going to speak, everyone became serious and saw what the super rich man had to say.

Although there are complaints about the cheap sale of American assets, it cannot but give people a chance to justify.

Judging from the performance of the reporter just now, it will definitely not be quiet next time. At this time, it is necessary to show domineering, at least not to show weakness in front of American reporters.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I am both happy and under great pressure to receive the cooperation invitation from the US Department of Defense. I am happy that the achievements of the Black Cloud Group have won recognition, and this is a good start. The pressure is because of this Things are not so easy to complete, at least for the next period of time, Heiyun will have to consider the sales of the product."

"That means Minister Caspar-Weinberg can have peace of mind, and I'm going to lose sleep. More than $3 billion is not much money, but I can't put the product in my hands. That's not a mature business, a mature businessman. way of doing."

"For the Black Cloud Group, it is a challenge. However, I believe that all the colleagues in the group will be able to overcome the difficulties and complete the task successfully."

Hearing that it was embarrassing to receive a commission from the U.S. Department of Defense, American journalists felt very resentful. This kid is cheap and good, and he is really a down-to-earth businessman.

3 billion US dollars dare to say that there is not much money, and it is estimated that there are not many in the world. Bao Zixuan is indeed a little arrogant, but no one can envy him if he has this capital.

No one would have thought that Bao Zixuan would say such a thing. Fortunately, Ian Wright responded quickly. He said directly: "The next step is the reporter's questioning session. You can raise your hand to signal. You can ask questions only after receiving the consent to ask."

A lot of people started raising their hands, but everyone knew it. The first few questions will definitely be handed over to the three major radio and television companies, and other newspapers will not play at all.

Ian Wright knew that the one who wanted to embarrass Bao Zixuan the most must be NBC, and the relationship between General Dynamics and Heiyun Group was difficult to ease. Let them start first, at least not to embarrass Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg. This kid is very clear about how to take care of his boss.

NBC reporters were delighted to be the first to ask questions. At least it proves that the Ministry of Defense does not dare to despise them, and the first question occupies a lot of initiative.

The NBC reporter said to the stage: "His Excellency Minister of Defense, Mr. Bao Zixuan; hello, I'm NBC reporter Jennifer. I would like to ask you two why the Black Cloud Group was able to obtain the decommissioning contract of the Ministry of Defense's weapons and equipment. After all, according to my research Knowing that Mr. Bao is not an American, strictly speaking, Heiyun Group is not an American company.”

"There are many great and powerful companies in the United States. Is there any black box operation here, or any other tricks."

Hearing everyone here is stunned, after all, the NBC reporter is too fierce. The two on stage were not easy to mess with. I didn't expect that this middle-aged woman would directly ask such a memorable question.

Caspar-Weinberg said with a smile: "Ms. reporter, the black box operation you mentioned does not exist at all. The military spending of the US military is all provided by the taxpayers, and we will not waste every cent of the taxpayers' investment. The decommissioned weapons and equipment were handed over to the Black Cloud Group after careful consideration, and it seems to be the best result at present."

"Most of the retired military vehicles are produced by the Jeep brand. They either sell scrap iron for new smelting, or sell it for repair. If it is sold at the price of scrap iron, it will be a serious waste of resources. Only Heiyun Automobile can do repairs. After all, the Jeep brand belongs to Black Cloud Motors.”

"This is also to maximize profits, and the sale of funds can cover part of the military spending."

Caspar-Weinberg's answer is obviously unsatisfactory; at least the American journalists who attended the meeting believed that the military should not hand over retired weapons and equipment to the Black Cloud Group.

This idea is ingrained in my bones, and it's still hard to change that.

At this moment, everyone looked at Bao Zixuan, wanting to hear what this young super-rich had to say.

Knowing that it's impossible not to say something, NBC is obviously here to find fault.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "I don't understand what Ms. Jennifer is trying to convey But every business transaction of Heiyun is absolutely reasonable and legal; cooperation with government departments must be open and transparent."

"Recycling retired weapons and equipment is not my intention. The Black Cloud Group can produce advanced weapons and equipment, and there is no need to recycle second-hand weapons. It was the U.S. Department of Defense who invited me here, not me, Bao Zixuan, who took the initiative to ask people to do business."

"In the early stage of enterprise development, it may be necessary to buy second-hand products and refurbish them to make a profit. It can be developed to a certain scale, and there is no need to do such a thing at all."

"NBC belongs to General Dynamics, which is what you call a great company. I hope you can pass on my message to the GM executives, as long as they want to take over US retired weapons and equipment. I can transfer it to them at the original price, anytime within three days. efficient."

If you don't get mad, you still think that you are easy to bully, and now give the ball to General Dynamics. The female reporter in front of her will definitely not dare to call the shots, and as for the senior management of General Dynamics, she will definitely not dare to take the call. With absolute confidence in this package, General Motors may still be possible.

At this time, everyone looked at Jennifer, a female reporter from NBC, because Bao Zixuan had already given conditions. What I just said was so righteous, but now it's on my own head, let's see what to say.
