Global Monopoly of Technology

Monday 11 December, Cote d'Azur headquarters.

"At the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition on the 19th, do we keep a low profile and hide our identity to participate in the exhibition or..." Yao Jianhong, who was in the CEO's office, looked at Luo Sheng, and the latter shook his head and said:

"You don't need to do this. It's just a matter of a few months if the CIA wants to investigate."

Yao Jianhong is obviously worried that the old United States will use this "national security threat" Dafa as an example. The core business of the Côte d'Azur is commercial income. Overseas markets account for the majority, and the military sector may account for less than 5%. At least currently, it is a marginal business in the major sectors of the group company.

His worries were not unreasonable, but after thinking about it again, Lao Yao felt that what Luo Sheng said was also very reasonable.

It's not a matter of a day or two for Lao Mei to bring down the Côte d'Azur. If the company was really so fragile, it would have been over a few years ago.

Sometimes you have to be just a little bit tighter.

"Okay, I'll inform Liu Ping and arrange the work of the defense exhibition." Yao Jianhong did not hesitate too much. Liu Ping is the person in charge of the military industry section of the Côte d'Azur, and he is also the leader of the Abu Dhabi defense exhibition this time. Go to the exhibition.

Luo Sheng nodded: "Bring some more planes over there, and give the local tyrants a good live performance, so that they can feel the excellence of our products. Good things need to be accompanied by good publicity, and the bombing is over."

Yao Jianhong couldn't help laughing and nodded again and again.

...

As time went on, December 19 came as scheduled.

The 13th Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition opened at the National Exhibition Center in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. This defense exhibition lasts for five days and ends before Christmas Eve.

This exhibition attracted more than 1,240 military enterprises from more than 60 countries and regions around the world, highlighting the innovative application achievements in the field of international military industry and defense.

Liu Ping led the Côte d'Azur team along with a total of 9 military trade group companies organized by the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to participate in this defense exhibition in the form of a national pavilion of "China National Defense".

It arrived three days ago. Among the many exhibits, the VT4 main battle tank is among them, and the exploration armored vehicles from various countries are also gathered at the exhibition site, and many equipment are familiar to military fans.

However, when the LOGO of the Côte d'Azur appeared at the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition,

Sure enough, it quickly attracted widespread attention from domestic and foreign media and military fans.

Cote d'Azur, the name is now well-known in the world, and there are only a few brands that can rival it.

From the list of the 2017 Top 100 Most Valuable Brands published by Forbes this year, you can see one or two. Cote d'Azur has ranked first for the fourth consecutive year, and its brand value has reached 302.5 billion US dollars, an increase over the previous year. This is the first time in the history of the list that the brand value has exceeded the $300 billion mark.

Before that, Bluestar Technology was firmly at the top of the list. Now it has been in the second position for four consecutive years. This year's brand value is also as high as 248.9 billion US dollars. The third and fifth are respectively. Google, Microsoft, Amazon.

The top five are all well-known technology giants in the world today. The two group companies under Luo Sheng are undoubtedly the brand of Huaguo enterprises.

However, the Côte d'Azur is in the world's impression as a smartphone manufacturer, which has nothing to do with military products. The company's trademark appeared at the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition this time, which is obviously unexpected.

But within reason.

Because of the information released by the Wujiao Building some time ago, many people are speculating on whether Luo Sheng's company is playing a key role in the hot news of the drone swarm in Huaguo. evaluation, so it is still doubtful.

But now, even if he didn't come out and make any statement, he was inseparable.

...

In a conference room in the Woolworth Building.

"Sure enough, it has something to do with the Côte d'Azur, Fake!!" A lieutenant general who attended the meeting couldn't help cursing when he saw the information coming from Abu Dhabi.

Another general who attended the meeting directly scolded: "The threat index of the Côte d'Azur to the United States continues to increase, which is all caused by those damn Wall Street businessmen. "

"We don't want to participate in these things, so as not to get into trouble, as long as military spending is not reduced, and if something goes wrong, the Congress will make money."

"Alas, I hope Lyle Binary can give us some surprises."

"Luckily there are tech companies in the U.S. that can compete, and things aren't too bad."

"However, the attitude must be in place, and what we should strive for is still to strive for. It is our attitude to comprehensively attack the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology."

...

On December 20, the second day of the Abu Zhan Defense Exhibition.

The reception area where the Côte d'Azur is located is quite popular, attracting a large number of people to watch. Among these people are journalists from various media, and there are also some intelligence agencies in civilian clothes.

However, the products in the booth can be photographed, watched casually, and even touched by hands.

The defense exhibition was originally here to promote and sell its own foreign trade products.

The reason why it attracts media attention is because of the name Cote d'Azur. As a technology company, it mainly sells mobile phones and game consoles. It suddenly sells drones and military products.

However, this is not a precedent for a technology company, and there is no other world-renowned technology giant Samsung Group that is really playing cross-border.

Samsung's industry is spread in various fields, and many fields such as real estate, infrastructure, military industry, insurance, finance, electronics, semiconductors, communications, etc. have their tentacles extended.

There are three types of foldable fixed-wing drones on the Cote d'Azur booth, which are the main communication function, the main reconnaissance function and the main strike function.

Among them, each UAV with the main strike function can be hung with an AR-3 air-to-surface missile.

The latest model AR-3 air-to-surface missile is available at the booth. This is a miniaturized air-to-surface missile developed by Aerospace Science and Technology Group for drone swarms. It is used in AR-2 air-to-ground. It is improved on the basis of the missile, and the AR-2 is also tailor-made for the Rainbow series of UAVs.

The weight of the modified version of the AR-3 air-to-surface missile has been further reduced to 15 kilograms, and the effective range is 8,000 meters. It has given up the expensive anti-armor function and replaced it with cheaper components. For a car or an earthen house Even for a person, 5 kilograms of high-energy explosives don't care if it is an armor-piercing warhead.

There is one more point - more!

That's right, that's a lot!

Although a drone can only carry one AR-3 air-to-surface missile, it is a horror story to face thousands or even tens of thousands of drone swarms at a time.

It really is that Daze bombed labor and capital.

As a tailor-made product for drone swarms, the AR-3, of course, has to highlight the same advantage: cheap.

During the exhibition, Liu Ping was at the scene, and he quickly noticed a group of people walking towards his exhibition area.

Liu Ping watched his eyes glow with golden light, and the two eyeballs seemed to have turned into "$-$", and the whole person was inexplicably excited.

Did you finally get the attention of the local tyrants?

Liu Ping immediately whispered to the assistant next to him: "Go and prepare, and later we will invite the local tyrants to open their eyes outside the field."

"Good." Liu Ping's assistant immediately left the backstage and went to inform him that the show had already been arranged.

Watching at the exhibition is not to experience the shock of drone swarms, but it is shocking to directly engage in a group of flying shows.

The Cote d'Azur has shipped more than a thousand drones by air this time, just to perform a wave for the local tyrants and stimulate the adrenaline of the local tyrants. When the brain is hot, the order is clicked, and the small money can't be rolled in?
