114: Contract signing ceremony witnessed by the media

As soon as Rong Yiwang heard this, he immediately said, "Do we need to notify the major media? Then signing the contract today might be too late. How about tomorrow? Tomorrow at ten in the morning, we'll sign the contract live online with major media as witnesses. What do you think?"

Liu Xiaolin thought to himself, since we're having the major media witness it anyway, a live broadcast isn't a big deal. So, let's do a live contract signing!

Kayaski didn't object to a live contract signing either. As long as he concealed his military identity, there would be no problem. As long as he could sign the contract, he could secure all of Xiaohang Drones' production capacity for the near future, which would be a great achievement. Getting promoted and a raise upon returning would be minor matters; a boundless future was the important thing.

"I can participate in tomorrow's live contract signing and interview, but I hope my identity as a Great Bear Country military purchaser is not revealed," Kayaski requested.

"Of course not. We don't want to cause trouble for ourselves either. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, signing the large order for Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle right under everyone's noses will be fine," Liu Xiaolin said.

So, Rong Yiwang began contacting media people to come for the interview on time tomorrow.

Kayaski returned to the hotel to wait for the day.

...

The next day at ten in the morning, a temporary stage was set up on the open ground outside the workshop. Under the witness of the major media's long and short photography equipment, the contract signing ceremony officially began.

At the ceremony site, a banner on the temporary stage with white text on a red background was particularly eye-catching: Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Contract Signing Ceremony.

The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with a large number of viewers. Looking at the banner, everyone began a new round of discussion.

"This is the first time I've seen a contract signing being live-streamed. Usually, aren't they signed quietly?"

"Yeah, why is that? Is it just to tell us that Xiaohang Drones are for civilian use?"

"But, I feel like the Great Bear Country's purchasing representative looks a bit off. Look how straight he's sitting, very much like a soldier."

"I think he looks very similar too. Could it be that the Boss of Xiaohang Drones is playing tricks, pretending to do one thing while secretly doing another?"

"Alas, if Xiaohang Drones are really for military use, I would look down on their Boss. For money, he actually sells military drones to another country's army. If a conflict breaks out one day, wouldn't they be used as weapons against us?"

"Hearing you say that, I'm a bit surprised."

Liu Xiaolin constantly monitored the netizens' comments. Seeing these messy comments, he still felt a bit awkward.

However, he had to complete the process of the contract signing ceremony now and then see the final effect.

"Next, we invite General Manager Liu Xiaolin, the developer of Xiaohang Drones, to speak," the host said, holding the microphone.

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Xiaolin. Today is the ceremony for signing the contract for our Xiaohang Drones. Speaking of drones, many people mistakenly believe that our Xiaohang Drones are for military use. I reiterate again that Xiaohang Drones are for civilian use. It's like gunpowder invented in ancient times was for civilian use; people used it to make firecrackers and fireworks, setting them off during festivals to increase the festive atmosphere. But now, when people mention gunpowder, the first things they think of are explosives, cannons, and other weapons, which deviates from the original intention of gunpowder's invention. As civilian drones, we hope to create new forms of disaster relief and aerial photography that provide convenience for humanity, using the most advanced technology to contribute to people keeping up with the times. However, we cannot prevent people who have purchased our drones from using them for other purposes."

Liu Xiaolin spoke his true feelings, saying, "It's like a kitchen knife. People buy it for their homes to chop vegetables and serve the family, but someone might use a kitchen knife to hack and kill. At that time, can the manufacturer of the kitchen knife be blamed? Of course not."

After Liu Xiaolin finished speaking, the comments in the live broadcast room began to change.

"This young General Manager speaks very reasonably. Their purpose in developing and manufacturing drones is for civilian use, and the drone devices don't carry any weapons of war."

"Although I understand the reasoning, I still have some doubts."

"Does that mean he developed civilian drones and sells civilian drones, but they are being used for other purposes by the customers?"

Liu Xiaolin continued, "The original intention of our Xiaohang Drones' development was for long-distance disaster relief, so during the design phase, we made relevant appropriate designs for flight speed, altitude, and load capacity. We hope that our Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle can be correctly recognized by everyone and receive everyone's love and support."

After saying all this in one breath, Liu Xiaolin let out a long sigh.

The words had been spoken frankly and openly. Under the witness of the major media, it was recognized that Xiaohang Drones were for civilian use.

If relevant departments came to inspect, he would welcome them with open arms. The business license and trademark registration had already been re-registered under Shen Zhiyong a long time ago. Xiaohang Drones were affiliated with Chunfeng Changan Group Aerospace Manufacturing Branch, and later, because the production workshop was in New Hope production park, the sign for Chunfeng Changan Group Aerospace Manufacturing Branch was hung here.

No matter who comes to inspect, it will be Chunfeng Changan Group Aerospace Manufacturing Branch that produced the Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle!

"Thank you, General Manager Liu, for your speech. Next, please welcome General Manager Shi to speak," the host continued.

"General Manager Liu has said everything I wanted to say. I just want to reiterate that the Aerospace Manufacturing Branch under Chunfeng Changan Group is a 100% Dragon Country private enterprise. We hope everyone supports us!" Shi Hangtian loudly announced the company name.

"Oh? It's actually a branch of Chunfeng Changan Group? Then there should be no problem. Chunfeng Changan Group is an old-established private enterprise, and their products have always been deeply loved by the people of the country."

"Okay, now I'm relieved. Xiaohang Drones are definitely for civilian use."

"Xiaohang Drones, keep going!"

Liu Xiaolin and Shi Hangtian were both happy to see that everyone trusted Xiaohang Drones because of Chunfeng Changan Group's reputation.

Seeing this, Kayaski was also very relieved. This way, his goal of successfully signing the contract could be achieved.

"Next, we invite Mr. Kayaski to speak," the host continued with the next part of the program.

"Hello everyone, I am Kayaski from Great Bear Country. Our Great Bear Country and Dragon Country have always been friendly neighbors. We highly value Dragon Country's products, which is why we came to Dragon Country with trust and funds to discuss cooperation, and it is also an action to further promote the friendship between our two countries. The quality of the Xiao Hang Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is very good. Our Great Bear Country has a vast territory and sparse population, so using it for civilian development and communication is very suitable," Kayaski spoke in a very grandiloquent manner.

While he was speaking eloquently on the stage, he didn't know that something different was already happening offstage.
