1329 Doing Business
Buying something, especially such a big deal, is not the kind of thing where you don't care about anything, don't ask anything, just give money and it's over.
The officer's request is simple. If Blackstone Aviation wants to get this order, it must demonstrate their most advanced research results.
And it needs to be something that can be mass-produced, not a non-mass-produced type where some parts still need to be hand-made.
Lynch naturally agreed to all these requests.
Today, the rough processing of some parts of Blackstone Aviation is in Nagalier. The labor there is very cheap, such as special screws. The cost of production in the Federation is more than ten times the cost of production in Nagalier. To dozens of times!
However, some relatively non-intensive factories that require a certain amount of industrial technology were established in York State.
The governor of York State was re-elected this year thanks to Lynch, if not for his promotion of the construction of factories, which created many jobs in York State.
If Lynch hadn't pioneered education reform at York State and established the first affordable university for everyone.
People in York State may not vote for the old governor. He has been re-elected for too long, and people can't wait to try another governor.
Sometimes the mentality of voters is like that of a newlywed couple.
From being able to hold hands to getting married, everyone was very enthusiastic during the first term. No matter what they did, they felt that the other person was right. They all found it fresh, exciting, enjoyable and satisfying.
Everyone may even think, this is the other half I want, and we can definitely continue like this.
But by his second term, the initial novelty wore off, and the governor shed his glossy exterior to reveal something... behind the glossy exterior to the people of the state.
The governor and the voters have passed the honeymoon period and have begun to enter a stage where... no matter how they look at each other, they feel that they are not very pleasing to each other.
When the governor issues a new decree, voters think he is crazy enough to do it.
Voters do not support the policies of the state government, and the governor also feels that this is the worst electorate he has ever led.
The fact that they can still hold on after the third term is not actually because of how strong the relationship between the two parties is. The main reason is that there is really nothing that can be fought.
Like the governor of York State, if Lynch hadn't given him a push, voters would have abandoned him long ago.
Let’s find someone younger, someone who can understand what we are talking about, it is better than an old politician!
Fortunately, he won again this time.
The industry spans different states and even countries, and the upgrading of the industry is naturally certain.
Blackstone Aviation bought a large piece of land about 120 kilometers south of Bupain, and used its status as a military supplier to the Ministry of National Defense to obtain the plan for the military restricted area.
In fact, there was a slight problem with this matter at the beginning. Congress believed that Blackstone Aviation was not qualified to display the military zone brand. Didn't other military industrial companies not display it as well?
You are the only one who wants to die. Are you different from others?
For this matter, Lynch also donated some money to the military, of course the reason was to donate to an anonymous foundation, and then spent another amount of money to jointly develop some advanced military applied science projects with the military.
In fact, these projects have no substantial content. Even in the military, no one is studying them. At most, they are thrown in to support a few people sitting on the bench.
But as long as it is military applied science, as long as it is enough to scare people, it can be classified as top secret.
R&D projects are already state secrets, so what’s wrong with putting up a sign indicating a military restricted area?
The Ministry of National Defense has specially approved a piece, but Congress has said it will not interfere with this. This is the military's own business.
It was not just one person who went to Blackstone Aviation to inspect the latest aircraft. The military sent an entire inspection team, which even included technicians from Komoko Industries and Lanying Industries.
After all, it involves a large order worth two to three billion. Whether it is the Ministry of National Defense or the military, no matter how much money there is, it will not be blown by the strong wind. They have to keep an eye on it.
When the third-generation bombers and fighters were displayed, everyone was impressed by their performance!
While Lan Ying was still installing more machine gun turrets on the bombers, Lynch's Q-III bombers had been divided into two branches: long-range bombers and strategic bombers.
"They don't have any close combat capabilities..." Lanying's engineer found a shortcoming. "We have news that all countries are studying fighter jets. Once they are entangled by fighter jets, they will have no room for resistance."
In the Strait War, the fighter jets used by Lynch and Blackstone Security showed their air supremacy in air battles. Various countries began to shift from the research of ground air defense to the research of three-dimensional air defense.
That is to say, by manufacturing air attack-end fighter jets to cooperate with ground air defense units to attack enemy targets.
Every country is very interested in the design of the Lin-II combat type, but it is a pity that Lynch has no idea to announce it to the outside world.
Coupled with the fact that some technical problems cannot be solved, the current aircraft design can be said to... break through the boundaries of human thought.
Some people even called for building a combination of aircraft and airships to re-create an aerial warfare fortress...
But anyway, fighter jets are no longer a scarce war force. What the engineers of Lanying Industry said is naturally what the military people consider.
Your bomber can't defend itself from the air, and without a turret, isn't it just a target in the sky?
The chief engineer of Blackstone Aviation was about to say something, but Lynch raised his hand to stop him.
Lynch smiled and asked, "If I add two machine gun turrets or three machine gun turrets to the bomber, can it beat the fighter jets?"
With one sentence, everyone fell silent.
Just use your brain and you will know that this is definitely unwinnable.
Fighters are too fast, and the machine gun turrets cannot have a high hit rate. Everyone is on the move. Using a machine gun to hit a bomber flying at high speed in the air is faster, the angle is wider, and the body is more flexible. fighter?
Unlikely? !
Lan Ying's engineer pursed his lips and argued, "It's difficult to hit, but the machine gun tower is also a deterrent to enemy fighters. At least they are not without the power to fight back."
Lynch shook his head again, "Our current technological level is limited. When it comes to aerial load issues, every time we increase a certain amount of weight, we need a collective improvement in the entire industrial technology."
"We shouldn't be giving limited weight to machine guns and machine gun ammunition, and to the people responsible for shooting them."
“It’s about leaving professional matters to professional aircraft!”
"Fighter escorts and cover help bombers break through. Even if only one or two can fly over our bombing target, this is a victory for us!"
After more than ten seconds, the officer of the Ministry of National Defense nodded, "I agree with Mr. Lynch's statement. If there are fighter jets to cover and break through first, tearing apart the opponent's air blockade, it doesn't mean much whether the bombers have air-to-air capabilities." !”
This is the trend of development. Sometimes people don't understand, but when they are awakened, they will understand immediately.
It was like a young man who had been searching for a long time for the first time. He had no experience in life and couldn't find the right place at all.
But as long as he has a little experience, even just once, he will suddenly realize that it is so simple!
From being able to becoming proficient, there is no transition at all!
This is a state, a process of enlightenment, and it will happen all at once!
In the following more detailed inspections, Blackstone Aviation's parameters were significantly better than those of Lanying Industrial, which made Lanying Industrial's engineers quite embarrassed.
The only thing he can do is to constantly question and deny Blackstone Aviation’s technology, believing that Blackstone Aviation has falsified parameters.
At the beginning, maybe people in the Ministry of Defense would still consider what he said.
But every parameter you feel is unreasonable... So who is really unreasonable? Do you need to continue talking?
At the end of the day, Lynch signed a five-year order with the Ministry of National Defense, guaranteeing that the order could be delivered at any time after two years, and a deposit of 200 million was deposited into the company's account the next day.
Doing business with the military is so fun. They have money and don't care if the other party is a liar.
For the military, as long as you dare to take their money, they dare to give it to you.
There are many ways to die, but if you want to live or die, just offend the military!
After the deposit of 200 million is paid in, subsequent payments will be gradually received after the entire order is completed in stages. Even if they have money, they will not pay it all immediately.
This money makes the shareholders of Tomorrow's Light feel that they have a bright future. Not everyone is qualified to do business of this magnitude with the military.
If anyone does it, then its future will be unstoppable!
Military industry has always been the most profitable industry!
The cloud of war not only allowed Lynch to make a war fortune before the war, but also affected the entire society.
In the second week after signing contracts with the Ministry of National Defense and the military, the federal government and Congress held two hearings in Bupen. Initiated by the Federal Congress, the proposal to increase national taxes officially entered the review stage.
At the beginning, there was a spontaneous demonstration. They gathered outside the Congress and violently sprayed those congressmen.
And Lynch got another "order."
"What is this?" He looked at a document in his hand and was a little confused.
Momo took off her high heels. She likes to be barefoot. She has a very good figure and has a very special, mature charm about her.
She knows how to bring out the best parts of herself.
"A small production company sent us a program. They plan to temporarily add a current affairs program after our "Millionaire"."
"There are three issues every week, and one month will be broadcast first, that is, twelve issues."
Lynch glanced at the project book again, "I remember we have a similar program ourselves?"
Momo sat on the sofa and put her legs up, "Yes, it hasn't been broadcast yet."
"So is there anything special about this program?" Lynch shook the material in his hand.
Momo gave an answer that was both unexpected and reasonable for Lynch.
"This is what the federal government means..."
