Chapter 286

The negotiations did not go smoothly. The five representatives of the Ministry of defense have been asking for the addition of weapon systems to the exoskeleton armor, even using military authority. Luke did not nod from the beginning to the end.

After arguing for half an hour, we had to break up in a bad mood.

After leaving the conference room, Linda's expression was strange,

"their bottom line is more than 2 billion. If you agree, it should double to 7 billion dollars, and you can resist it."

Luke shook his head. "It's not about money. It's about position."

"Position?"

The girl didn't understand, "what position?"

"International position."

Luke explained as he walked, "it's not so easy to get an order of 7 billion. Once I promise to provide the military with exoskeleton armor carrying weapon systems, Tesla will break away from the category of private enterprises and become a defense and military enterprise. No matter whether the parties admit it or not, other countries will think so."

"Although cooperation with the Ministry of defense has many advantages, it also means that the Chinese market, the Russian market, a small part of the European market and the American market will be lost. They will never allow an enterprise closely related to the Ministry of defense of the United States to enter the domestic market. According to the Oriental saying, this is called losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame."

At this point, Luke turned back,

"the extra two billion is a trap. They want to use it as a bait to tie me to the military's combat vehicle and make the exoskeleton armor a special weapon for the military."

Linda snorted, "you earthlings are really calculating!"

Luke shrugged. Kryptonians are no better.

When they left the building and came to the venue, Luke called Billy, Dior and Charlie to him, took out a special earphone from his pocket and threw it to Dior,

"put on the earphone, intelligent AI will inform you if there is a situation, remember, we must ensure the safety of the venue."

Dior nodded solemnly. "I'll keep an eye on it. I won't let an accident happen."

"Billy, you are responsible for the back court. Just follow the procedure."

"Don't worry, Luke. I remember it all."

Billy patted his chest with confidence.

"Charlie, you arrange the reception. By the way, call Philip and ask him to come. He's familiar with metropolis. I need his help."

"I see. I'll arrange it now."

After the order was given, the crowd went into a busy state. The Expo was held in the garden square in the east of the metropolis, where the future Superman sculpture is located.

Due to the large scale of the exhibition, the work is not going well. Fortunately, all the necessary arrangements are well prepared. As for the details, they can only be perfunctory.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, guests came into the venue one after another.

Under the guidance of Philip, Luke also had a cordial greeting with the metropolitan celebrities. These people are potential partners. Similarly, for them, Luke is also a rare human relationship.

After welcoming dozens of guests in succession, Luke was a little tired and was about to have a rest when he heard a clear voice,

"Xiao, long time no see."

Luke was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, burst into the field of vision in a red dress, and then there was the face that didn't eat people's fireworks,

"Qu leisurely, why are you here?"

Wearing a red evening dress and looking gorgeous, Qu leisurely raised his hand to the middle-aged man beside him,

"I came with Uncle Wang, who is very interested in Tesla's products."

Luke turned his eyes to the Chinese with a square and national face next to him,

"you are..."

The middle-aged man reached out his hand and said enthusiastically, "my surname is Wang, and my single name is Kun. Now I work in Haiyue group."

Luke nodded slightly. Haiyue group heard that China's private enterprises can rank in the top ten.

Wang Kun said with admiration, "Mr. Xiao is really a promising young man. He has made such a career at a young age. Compared with you, I feel that he has lived in vain for decades before."

"Mr. Wang, I'm flattered. Showme and Tesla are just making a little fuss. They can't compare with such a well-known enterprise as Haiyue group."

"You can't say that!"

Wang Kun waved his hand vigorously, "everything is from small to large. Today's Tesla has just been established, and in a few years, it will become the goal that people look up to. I have absolute confidence in this."

Luke grinned modestly and arranged for the waiter to take him to the meeting.

Qu Youran didn't leave, but stayed. He looked at Linda and said, "no wonder you don't agree with our marriage. You have such a beautiful girlfriend."

Cough, cough, cough!!!!

As for Linda, her white face turned red in an instant. She gave Luke a fierce look and turned away.

Philip said strangely, "who is this lady?"Luke waved his hand,

"you all go out."

Philip laughed and left wisely.

Qu leisurely pretended to be nervous and said, "did I say something wrong, or I'll explain it. I can't let your girlfriend misunderstand us. We have nothing to do with each other."

"She's Tesla's administrative assistant, not my girlfriend."

Luke rarely explained that his eyes swept the girl's make-up, and he could not help frowning. The song in his memory was leisurely, simple and tender, just like a piece of white paper. How long later, he painted heavy makeup and red lips.

Maybe it's for work!

Luke didn't want to have any unnecessary entanglement with her and asked directly,

"what are you doing here? I don't remember sending you an invitation."

Qu leisurely said with a smile, "how can I not attend the opening ceremony hosted by master Xiao? It's very unkind of you to say that our two families are friends of the world, and you didn't inform me of such an important matter. "

Luke said indifferently, "I'm very busy today. I don't have time to waste with you. I'll give you ten seconds. If I don't say anything, I'll never say it."

Qu leisurely slowly put away his smiling face, "I haven't seen you for a month. Master Xiao is still so overbearing."

"I'm here for no other reason than business."

"What business?"

"Exoskeleton armor!"

Luke was happy when he said, "your information is really well-informed. I sent the model map to the Ministry of defense the day before yesterday. Today, you're looking for it. It's amazing. It's amazing!"

Qu leisurely stretched out his index finger, "ten thousand sets of exoskeleton armor, this is the initial order."

Luke shakes his head,

"I won't sell you any of them, Miss qu. I advise you not to walk on the edge all day, or you will slip."

"If you really want armor, you can talk to me when the order from the Ministry of defense is over. By the way, remember to go through the regular way instead of the back door."

Then he turned and left.

Qu Youran stares at him until Luke's back disappears in the crowd, then turns his head and follows the crowd to the exhibition room. Wang Kun is here. After seeing her, he quickly meets her,

"what's up?"

The girl shook her head in silence. "He didn't agree."

"I knew it would be!"

Wang Kun is not surprised by this answer. Although Luke Xiao and Xiao Changlin are grandsons, they are different in nature. They can't deal with him in the same way.

"What about armor?"

Wang Kun pondered for a few seconds and said slowly, "let's have a look first. We just get the model diagram, but the data is not clear. If the exoskeleton armor is a kind of equipment that can change the trend of war, we will get the core technology at all costs."
