The rooftop of the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center was so crowded that security personnel had to cut off access to the rooftop and no one was allowed to go up. ¤,
The challenge has not yet begun, but Xia Lei has already transferred 20 million euros into the account of the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center through bank transfer, and Chekov has become the notary of this challenge. Fifty thousand euros is enough for him to do these things.
Tang Yuyan handed the engineering plastic box containing two sniper rifles to Xia Lei's hands. Xia Lei opened the box and loaded the guns with skillful movements. Many media reporters took photos of him, and these photos would later appear in media around the world.
The snipers assigned by Barrett Company, HK Company and FN Company are also in place. The executives of the three companies also came to the rooftop. The three executives wanted to see the strength of the XL2500 sniper rifle, but they did not think that a sniper rifle produced by a Chinese company could be that good.
"Mr. Xia, do you want to start like this?" Irliva, a senior executive of Belgian fn company, walked up to Xia Lei and looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes.
Xia Lei was very kind, "Ms. Irliva, I think it's okay. Mr. Chekov has prepared targets for us. We can start at any time on the rooftops of the buildings opposite."
At this time Chekov took the walkie-talkie and said: "Put up the targets."
Soon, a target was erected on a building opposite the Moscow International President Center, with a straight line distance of almost 800 meters. There is a circle of glowing LED light lines on the target, which can be seen from a distance.
"Are you kidding?" Joe Barton, an executive of Barrett Company, laughed disdainfully: "Even our company's products from ten years ago can easily hit a target at such a distance. You wouldn't use that target." Come and test the performance of our sniper rifle?"
Mülleff, an executive from German hk company, also said: "Yes, if we all hit the target, how do we determine who wins?"
Xia Lei said with a smile: "What you see is just one of the targets. I considered the performance of your sniper rifle, so I set up a target at a distance of 800 meters. I actually don't need it. I There’s a target at 2,500 meters to hit, and a target at 3,200 meters.”
The expressions of the executives of the three arms giants suddenly changed.
Xia Lei added: "The target further away is also on the rooftop of the building, but it requires a professional sniper scope to see it."
The three executives then picked up their respective companies' most advanced observation equipment and looked at it. Sure enough, all three executives saw the target farther away. There are targets at a distance of 1,500 meters, targets at a distance of 2,000 meters, and targets at a distance of 2,500 meters and 3,200 meters as Xia Lei said.
On the other side, Chekov also invited some media reporters to observe more distant targets through an astronomical telescope set up on the rooftop. Those targets also have glowing LED coils on them, making them easy to spot.
Some military enthusiasts also saw the farthest target through the astronomical telescope, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Oh my god, for a sniper shot from such a distance, even the bullet would take three to four seconds to fly. If it can hit, it is simply a myth!"
"It's probably impossible to do it. This Chinese man is very full of energy. He has set up so many targets at various distances. As long as he hits the targets hit by other companies, he will not lose."
"That's definitely the case. Who would take 20 million euros and give it away?"
"Ah! Twenty million euros. I should bring the Barrett m82a1 sniper rifle I have at home to participate in the challenge. Maybe I can win the money."
"You dream, this is a challenge between arms companies, private individuals are not eligible to participate."
"That's right, what's the benefit if someone beats you? If that Chinese guy can beat Barrett, the dominance of sniper rifles will probably change to another owner."
These comments fell on the ears of Joe Barton, a senior executive of Barrett Company, and were simply a provocation and a satire.
"Mr. Xia." Joe Barton said: "Before we start, we need to sign an agreement. If you lose, you have to pay the winner 20 million euros. Also, if you lose, you have to leave here. What about ending it early? Company Exhibition.”
Irliva, a senior executive of Belgian company fn, also said: "Yes, this should be added. This farce should end early."
This is an unfair agreement. If Xia Lei loses, he will not only have to pay 20 million euros, but also end the exhibition at Thunder Horse Factory early, but Barrett Company, Fn Company and HK Company will not lose anything. .
As soon as this agreement was proposed, the reporters started discussing it and felt it was unfair.
But just when everyone thought Xia Lei would refuse, Xia Lei smiled and said readily: "No problem, I can sign such an agreement."
Chekov drafted the agreement, printed four copies, and sent them to the rooftop. During this process, the snipers from Barrett Company, FN Company and HK Company were also preparing, observing wind speed, light and distance, and adjusting their sniper rifles.
Xia Lei signed the agreement, and Joe Barton, Mullev and Iriva also signed the agreement.
The challenge then entered the final stages of preparation.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly surged, and the crowd watching the battle was squeezed out of a channel. Several security guards surrounded a tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes and a man carrying a camera to the competition venue. The woman holds a microphone in her hand with the logo of Russian state television.
Russian National Television is a television station covering the entire Russian Federation. It is also the largest television station in Russia and has extremely high ratings. The appearance of people from Russian state television was an unexpected surprise for Xia Lei.
The stunning female host got into working mode as soon as she appeared on the stage. She held the microphone and talked to the camera, "Hello, dear viewers, my name is Natalia, and I am currently at the Moscow International Exhibition and Convention Center. A Chinese family Emerging arms companies openly challenge the authority of Western arms giants in the world of small arms. It is reported that this Chinese company called Leima Military Factory invested 20 million euros. Once it fails, it will pay 20 million euros to the winning party. This is a huge sum of money. Those who accepted the challenge include Barrett Company, fn Company and hk Company. These three companies are all giants in the world of small arms. Who will receive this huge bonus of 20 million euros? ?let us wait and see… "
Obviously, Natalia, the beautiful host from Russian state television, is not optimistic about Xia Lei winning either. After all, what he wants to challenge is an international arms giant, which has been king in this field for decades, while his Thunder Horse Arms Factory is just a new and unknown small company.
"Can we start?" Joe Barton has lost patience. "This farce has been going on for long enough."
Xia Lei smiled faintly and said, "Let's get started. You come first. You can shoot at all the targets. Your snipers and your sniper rifles have produced results. I will shoot again to show everyone our company." performance of the xl2500."
Joe Barton snorted lightly, and then motioned for Barrett's sniper to shoot.
The snipers of Barrett Company adjusted their posture, locked on the target, fired, and directly hit the target at a distance of 800 meters, and the hit was on the ninth ring. This is a very remarkable achievement.
There was a burst of applause from the rooftop, not only praising the strength of Barrett's snipers, but also praising the excellent performance of Barrett's sniper rifles.
The snipers of the fn company and the hk company also completed shooting. The fn company's sniper hit the eight rings of the 800-meter target, while the hk company's sniper actually hit the tenth ring of the 800-meter target. This result put a smile on the face of Mülleff, an executive of German company HK, and he seemed confident that he would pocket the 20 million euro bonus.
"It's your turn." Mullev glanced at Xia Lei confidently, "Mr. Xia, you can also admit defeat directly to avoid unnecessary laughter."
Xia Lei was not angry at all, and still maintained a gentle smile on his face, "Mr. Mullef, I said that I will wait until your snipers and sniper rifles achieve their best results before I take action. Please continue. Let your snipers hit as hard as they can."
With this tone, he simply didn’t take the three arms giants seriously!
Mullev was too lazy to argue with Xia Lei and signaled the HK company's snipers to continue shooting.
Bang bang bang…
The snipers of the three arms giants fired continuously, shooting at farther targets.
Applause and admiration erupted from time to time on the rooftop, making the scene very lively.
At this time, Xia Lei, who should have been nervous, stood on the rooftop and was interviewed by Natalia.
"Mr. Xia, why are you doing such a thing? Can you tell me the reason?" Natalia stood next to Xia Lei. After speaking, she turned the microphone in front of Xia Lei.
Xia Lei smiled naturally, "I spent 20 million euros to issue the challenge just to prove to everyone that Made in China does not mean socks and shirts. Our manufacturing industry has made new developments. We The level is no worse than that of the West. Take our company's XL2500 sniper rifle as an example. I dare say it is the best sniper rifle in the world, and no one can surpass it."
"Wow, Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to speak Russian so well." Natalia smiled charmingly, "By the way, other companies have professional snipers, but I haven't seen such people in your company. Wait, who's going to shoot?"
"It's me. I can be considered a sniper myself. Although I am an amateur, I am confident to complete the shooting." Xia Lei said.
"Amateur? My God, those three companies sent out professional snipers."
Xia Lei said seriously: "It's nothing. Our gun is good. It can make up for my technical gap."
Tang Yuyan, who was standing next to Xia Lei, couldn't help but want to kick Xia Lei. He was an amateur sniper, so were there any professional snipers in this world? Thinking of Xia Lei's past in Afghanistan, when he single-handedly challenged an American special forces team with one shot, her face turned red.
At this moment, a cry of exclamation suddenly erupted from the rooftop. It turned out that snipers from the Barrett Company and the German HK Company hit the target at a position of two thousand meters, and both hit the fifth ring.
"It seems that we have to split the prize money equally." Mulleff said to Joe Barton with a smile.
Joe Barton also smiled, he could accept this result.
“Mr.
