everyone returned to their own booths and then turned their gaze towards the entrance of the exhibition hall.

a few minutes later, a group of people entered the exhibition hall. among them, several men with white robes and long beards stood out.

tang rui also spotted liu yu in the crowd, who was talking to a middle-aged man in a white robe.

after entering, the group headed straight to the booth of the cetc.

this exhibition was hosted by them. those who came to bask in its glory had to wait for now.

tang rui waited bored at the booth.

“by the way, lin, could you ask about the price of cetc’s 8×8 field command vehicle for me later? no downgrades, please.”

“a field command vehicle? why do you want to know about that?” lin chao was curious.

“i want to buy one.”

“what?”

lin chao looked at tang rui as if he wanted to check if he had a fever.

“i really want to buy one, no joking.”

“why do you want to buy it?”

“as a mobile home.”

“why don’t you just buy a regular mobile home then?”

“can they compare? this vehicle has a military-grade blast-resistant chassis, plus triple protection. the body has 65mm bulletproof armor, and it can integrate with the military’s unified information platform. not to mention the data link is fully operational. can regular mobile homes offer all of that?”

tang rui casually listed a few features, leaving lin chao speechless.

“alright, 1’11 ask about it for you later.”

lin chao didn’t have much choice but to help. don’t ask whether such a vehicle could be purchased privately. tang rui hadn’t mentioned buying it under his name as a private individual; he could use the company’s name, right? moreover, after buying it, they planned to upgrade its configuration and maybe even make some profit.

over forty minutes later, the representatives of the middle east delegation left cetc’s booth. the contracts for the equipment they intended to purchase had already been signed.

that was their main purpose for coming here; the rest of their visit was casual. “what is that red thing?”

after leaving the cetc’s booth, a middle east delegation member pointed to where tang rui and the others were and asked curiously.

“that’s a comprehensive vehicle-mounted firefighting drone platform produced by a domestic manufacturer.”

liu yu took a glance and immediately answered.

firefighting drones?

hearing the word “firefighting,” the middle east delegation members became immediately interested. in their minds, combining weapons with firefighting equipment implied sensitive devices, embargoed devices, or equipment that couldn’t be exported through regular channels. generally speaking, such things were valuable. for example, the firefighting extinguishing grenades they had purchased earlier were quite impressive.

“we’d like to take a look.”

“sure.”

with countless eyes watching, the middle east delegation, led by their leader, approached the booth of deepred corporation.

“mr. foreign minister, prince salim, this is atr. tang rui, the head of deepred corporation and the designer of this weapon. if you have any questions, you can ask him directly.”

after liu yu’s introduction, tang rui greeted the two in fluent arabic.

they had been speaking english earlier, but tang rui’s ability to converse in arabic impressed them.

“mr. tang, your arabic is excellent. i’m truly amazed,” prince salim praised.

“thank you for your kind words, your highness. i’ve always wanted to visit your country, so i spent some time learning the language,” tang rui replied. “mr. tang, you’re truly remarkable. learning foreign languages can be quite challenging,” the prince said.

“can’t be that hard. i heard your highness’s english earlier, and it was rather impeccable.”

tang rui engaged in a bit of mutual flattery with prince salim, and there was no need for liu yu to translate. he then proceeded to explain the product.

“the price for a set isn’t high, but why must it be a trade-in? can’t you sell us the drones directly?” prince salim asked, furrowing his brows.
