"Don't listen to his nonsense, come in quickly." Chu Xuan glared at Zhao Chen and pulled Zhao Waner into the room.
Zhao Chen followed behind with a smile.
This room is very large. The first thing you see is a large living room, which is two to three hundred square meters.
On one side of the living room is a huge glass floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window you can overlook a huge open-air exhibition hall full of art.
You can see dozens of holographic projections of star battleships, and many people are watching them and discussing something.
"Wow..." Zhao Waner was shocked when she saw this scene.
"Isn't it an imperial arms purchase? Why are there so many people?" Zhao Chen asked.
Chu Xuan explained: “Although this time is nominally an imperial arms purchase, usually at this time, it is also a good time for various starship manufacturers to promote their own starships.
Even those star battleships that are not favored by the Imperial Army may be able to receive some starship orders here.
This is also why there are so many star battleships parked outside the star port.
After all, if it is just the imperial arms purchase, there are actually only a dozen related forces, how many people can come?"
After hearing Chu Xuan's explanation, Zhao Chen also understood the meaning.
He looked down at the entire exhibition hall. Most of them were T2 star battleships, with only a small number of T1 star battleships and T3 star battleships.
You can tell which star battleship is the most popular by looking at the crowd at each booth.
“Among the imperial arms purchases this time, the most popular ones are actually two star battleships.
One is the T1 Wolflice-class medium-sized star destroyer from the Beiyan Starship Technology Group. Although the Imperial Army has no intention of purchasing it, this star warship is a star warship that is highly appreciated by all interstellar territories.
It is estimated that we can take this opportunity to get a lot of starship orders.
Another model is the T2 Hyena-class medium-sized star destroyer that has always dominated the best-selling list of T2 star destroyers. It is said that the Hurricane Consortium has specially developed a latest model for this military purchase order. They are determined to win this military purchase order.
Moreover, the members of the arms purchase committee are also very optimistic about this T2 Hyena-class medium-sized star destroyer, and there is a high probability that this T2 star battleship will win the lottery." Chu Xuan said there.
Zhao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and thought to himself: "This is not necessarily the case."
"What is the military procurement process like?" Zhao Chen asked.
Chu Xuan said: "This is nothing more than that before the deadline, each starship manufacturer displays the starships they are preparing to bid for, stating the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the price, etc.
In the end, the members of the Arms Purchase Committee will vote to select the winning star battleship.
Then sign the relevant military purchase order contract."
"Is the entire process fully public?"
Chu Xuan thought for a while: "Except for some privacy clauses in the agreement signed later.
Most of them are open to the public. This has been a tradition since the establishment of the Star Empire. Except for some top starships, which are directly connected with starship manufacturers in private. After all, there are not many choices for that kind of starship.
As for some T3 star battleships and all T2 and T1 star battleships, the information is public.
This is a rule formulated by the late emperor who established the Star Empire in order to prevent the occurrence of corruption for personal gain, which would lead to problems in the starship R&D and manufacturing industry and prevent some excellent starship manufacturers without personal connections from being able to obtain
Deserved opportunity.”
Hearing this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh that His Majesty the Emperor who established the Xingyao Empire was really considerate and prepared for danger in times of peace.
It’s no wonder that the Star Empire can become one of the three major political systems of the Galactic Alliance.
"Then when is the final time?" Zhao Chen asked.
"The time for each military purchase order to be finalized is different. So far, this military purchase has a total of 27 different items of military purchase requirements.
The time span may be as long as a week to half a month." Chu Xuan introduced.
"When will the order for the T2 Star Destroyer be established?" Zhao Chen asked a question that interested him.
Chu Xuan raised her hand and opened an electronic document with detailed details of the arms purchase exhibition.
"The T2 Star Destroyer will finalize the military purchase order project on October 5th. Because the order amount is large, it is a military purchase order that we should focus on.
Although everyone implicitly believes that the Hurricane Consortium’s T2 Hyena-class medium-sized star destroyer will definitely win the bid.
But we still have to go through the process." Chu Xuan said.
October 5th is not that long, only about a week.
"You seem to be very interested in the Hurricane Consortium?" Chu Xuan asked curiously.
"After all, they have entertained me warmly before, and I have a photographic memory of some 'old friends'." Zhao Chen said with a faint smile.
Chu Xuan continued: "You and Wan'er will stay here these two days. There are many rooms here, you can choose whatever you want.
Then during this period, I will accompany you to see those star battleship exhibitions. You can also see if there is any starship technology that you are interested in. If there is anything that is... helpful to you, tell me, our Chu family will
I’ll find a way to help you get it done.”
The Chu family attaches great importance to T4 star battleship technology.
Zhao Chen nodded, shrugged and said, "I'll just treat it as if I'm on vacation this time. My sister-in-law and I will listen to you."
"Are you done?" Zhao Waner picked up a pillow from the sofa next to her and threw it towards Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen caught it easily.
Chu Xuan now also had the ability to resist Zhao Chen's words. She rolled her eyes and continued: "There is another important thing in between, which is a banquet three days later.
At that time, many dignitaries and large financial groups in the Xingyao Empire will participate, and the little princess will also be present."
little princess!
Zhao Chen and Zhao Waner's eyes lit up.
Zhao Waner said excitedly: "Then will my sister also be there?"
"I remember that the eldest sister of your Zhao family served in the royal guard fleet of the little princess, right? But I don't know the specific information.
You can try your luck then." Chu Xuan said.
Sister...
When Zhao Chen thought about meeting his eldest sister, he was still looking forward to it.
The figure in his memory felt a little blurry at the moment, and he could only vaguely recall a figure.
"Then you should take a rest first. If you need anything, feel free to speak to the smart assistant in the room," Chu Xuan said.
"Thank you, Sister Chu." Zhao Waner said sweetly.
This woman is really one way before others and another after others. When she mentioned Chu Xuan before, she was still inexplicably angry, but now she calls her Sister Chu?
Zhao Chen glanced at Zhao Waner, and Zhao Waner happened to see the gaze cast by her brother. Perhaps guessing what Zhao Chen was thinking, she stuck out her tongue at Zhao Chen.
This girl.
Zhao Chen ignored Zhao Waner. He looked at the open-air exhibition hall outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. He saw the familiar star battleship and the beautiful silhouette.
The stage has been prepared for you, let me see how high you can go.
