America's Big Hero

Bertie Bazel laughed dryly. Although Grumman has been in trouble recently, he is also one of the most famous fighter jet manufacturers in the United States and even in the world. He is crazy to go to the third world with Sean. Isn't that just selling junk!

"Mr. Sean, I admit that this is a piece of virgin land that has yet to be developed. Theoretically speaking, it will have a better market prospect. However, aircraft manufacturing is not that simple. This is not a tractor, nor is it an agricultural aircraft. It can be used as a fighter jet just by welding, as Mr. Xiao En said, there are not 10 countries in the world that have the ability to manufacture fighter jets.”

"That's why I'm telling you this." Sean shrugged with a smile, "What does Grumman think?"

"We at Grumman are responsible for redesigning, manufacturing, and selling this new type of propeller fighter. Mr. Xiao En doesn't need to worry about anything, and he will get 15% of the net profit. I think this is a reasonable cooperation plan."

"Ha, let's talk about the full set of design drawings and technologies of the cat series." Sean said with a sneer.

"This..." Bertie Bazel frowned, already knowing such a big market, how could he be willing to sell the design drawings and technology now!

"Huh?" Sean's face dropped instantly, "What, Bertie Bazel, you're kidding me!"

"There are scrapped aircraft of the 'Cat' series in the abandoned airports of the military. Even if they are disassembled, they can be assembled into a complete aircraft. There is no difficulty in restoring the technology." Sean stood up and looked down at Bo. Dee Bazel, "You have to understand that I, Sean, are kind-hearted, because Rockefeller is a shareholder of Grumman, and because I respect the original factory and the Grumman family, I found you Grumman's face, and No hiding!"

"If someone chooses to be greedy because of my kindness, believe me, God will punish those who have no integrity, including his whole family, and they will not end well, they will go to hell!"

Bertie Bazel's complexion turned ugly instantly. After all, he is also the helm of a world-renowned military company, and it was the first time he was threatened in person like this.

"Be careful, watch out for any robbery going on around here, there's going to be stray bullets flying, be careful of people who break down and get revenge on society, be careful of big trucks that get tired and drive out of control, be careful of drivers who drink or smoke high and drive fast, be careful Parabolic objects at high altitudes, be careful of fires caused by electric leakage, even when you go to the hospital for a physical examination, you must be careful to get infected with AIDS when encountering repeatedly used needles when drawing blood!"

Every time Sean said the same thing, Bertie Bazel's face turned pale, how careful these things are! !

What Xiao En said was punishment from God, which is very in line with the doctrine, and no one can find fault with it, but as long as you are not stupid, you will know what it means!

"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!" Bertie Bazel quickly waved his hands, "I'm a very honest person, but, just... don't know how to cooperate."

It was just a threat, and Bertie Bazel couldn't do anything to Sean, but he obviously didn't dare to let him ignore this threat.

There are many people in the United States who can get rid of Sean and go it alone without fear of Xiong En's revenge, such as a few big families and a few big consortia, but this definitely does not include Grumman, let alone Bertie Bazel.

Sean laughed, sat down again and said kindly: "I was just joking, business negotiation."

The corner of Bertie Bazel's mouth twitched: You call threatening to kill the whole family a business negotiation?

Alright, count yourself as ruthless!

"Mr. Sean thinks it's better to cooperate." Bertie Bazel calmed down and asked solemnly. He knew that he had fallen into a complete passive situation in this negotiation.

"As I said, there are other ways for me to obtain the production technology of the cat series without paying Grumman a penny, do you admit it?" Sean tilted his head and asked.

Bertie Bazel nodded.

"Very good. On the basis of this consensus, I want to say that I respect intellectual property rights, and I also care about my own reputation, so I will not do such a damn thing." Sean said with a serious face said.

It's not because the mother is dead, absolutely not!

Sean really hates those behaviors that don't respect intellectual property rights, never do research, and can take away other people's achievements at will if they just open their mouths.

In the end, there is no innovation, and whoever invests in research is a big fool.

Forget it externally, the key is to do the same internally. This is no longer short-sighted. To put it bluntly, it’s still the same sentence. In the official position, this is not considered reading, it’s nothing more than extraordinary skills. Taking your achievements is giving you face!

Cough cough, yes, we are talking about pirated novels!

Absolutely nothing else, trust me!

Chapter 403: Ultimate Compression Cost

The process is not important, not at all. The two reached a consensus after some cordial and friendly communication. Sean has the ability to take away the technology for independent production without paying a penny, but Sean is a fastidious person and decided to bring the original author Get rich together.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Bertie Barzel, the president of Grumman, doesn't know that the most urgent thing for Sean is time.

According to the normal logic, from founding a company, looking for a site, building a factory, purchasing equipment, recruiting a technical team, developing, designing, improving, experimenting, finalizing, and determining the process... until the product goes offline, it will take about three years.

From order delivery to making money, about 5 years!

This is the process of developing and designing an aircraft under normal circumstances.

Although the propeller aircraft technology of the "Cat" series is very old, the new aircraft needs to add a lot of modern equipment, use new technology, improve performance and other requirements. Even if the technology is mature, it will take at least three years to make money.

There is no way to shorten the time any further.

And what about Sean's plan?

Half a year!

The first generation of aircraft rolled off the production line!

The timeline stretches to a few years, and Sean has something to do to make money, so he doesn't care about shitty propeller planes!

After reaching the above consensus, Sean indicated that Bertie Bazel could propose a cooperation plan.

After thoroughly recognizing Grumman's weak position in the negotiation, Bertie Bazel, as a professional professional manager, quickly put himself in the right position, "I have two plans. Grumman is responsible for the old Carry out modern design and transformation on the model, come up with new products, and be in charge of production and sales, since Mr. Xiao En proposed the idea, then I think you must have a sales plan, right?"

Seeing Sean nodding, Bertie Bazel continued: "In this case, Mr. Sean can take 5% of the net profit of the new aircraft!"

Grumman made a lot of concessions in this plan, at least Bertie Bazel saw it this way, Sean didn’t need to invest, had no risk, and could still get 4% of the profit, which was a huge profit.

"Are there any other cooperation plans?" Sean asked again.

Bertie Bazel frowned, "If Mr. Sean is willing to take risks and invest in research, he can contribute new patents and get 5% of the profits. This is the biggest concession."

"How long does it take for the product to go offline?" Sean asked calmly.

"Three years."

Sean coughed lightly, looked at Bertie Bazel and said, "I also have a cooperation plan, listen to it."

"To form a new company, you will hold shares with Grumman. The new company does not require you to invest a penny. The company's shareholding ratio is 2:8."

"So what do we put in?" asked Bertie Bazel.

"Second part of the technical personnel and the original materials, the salary during the secondment period will be paid by the new company 150%."

"And then?" Bertie Bazel asked with a puzzled expression seeing that Sean had stopped talking.

"No more then."

"No more!" Bertie Bazel looked at Sean in shock, "It's all we need to invest in this little thing?"

Sean nodded.

"Then we can agree in principle." Bertie Bazel nodded after thinking for a while.

This allocation ratio is acceptable when only a few people are seconded and there is no need to take risks.

"Where is Mr. Sean going to build the factory? Where is the R&D center? The other is the production plan and the time for the product to go offline. We have to send a research team according to the situation. After all, we can't delay the normal work of Grumman." Bertie Baze Er asked casually.

"There is no factory." Sean shook his head.

Bertie Bazel: ? ? ?

With a confused expression, he raised his head and picked his ears. Bertie Bazel thought he had heard wrong, "Mr. Sean, did I not hear clearly?"

"There is nothing to make a fuss about, there is no factory, and there is no production plan, but I can tell you when the product will go offline, and I will sell the plane in half a year at most!" Sean said lightly.

But Bertie Bazel was not calm.

Standing up abruptly from his seat, Bertie Barzel waved his arms and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "Mr. Sean, what international joke are you talking about? There is no factory? No R&D center? It takes half a year for the product to go offline." ?”

"It's impossible for you to be crazy and I'm crazy. We all have precious time. This joke is not funny at all."

"Who's kidding you!" Sean rolled his eyes, leaned on the sofa, raised his hand and pressed it, "Calm down, calm down, OK?"

"Impossible? There are so many impossibilities in this world. There is nothing impossible except if you don't want to do it. Since I said it, I am sure!"

"Ha!" Bertie Bazel sneered, I would be fooled by you if I was a layman, but he still walked up to Sean and sat down, to see how famous this famous man is. Is there any way the self-made plutocrats can accomplish this miracle.

"My plan is like this." Sean took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "First of all, set a design standard for the new aircraft, such as cruising speed, combat radius, stall speed, mounted weapons, etc. Technical parameters, and then, you send some technicians with the materials, and I will arrange for someone to send them to the East."

"Eastern?" Bertie Bazel was taken aback, then laughed out loud, "My God, Mr. Sean, are you kidding, Eastern, they can study airplanes? That's the best thing I've ever heard Laughing joke."

He doesn't like Orientals, very much!

"East, one of the countries in the world that has a complete modern aircraft manufacturing industry chain." Sean tilted his head, looked at Bazel with a half-smile, his eyes were full of ridicule, "You will not be affected by the propaganda , I think they still wear big braids and ride horses, so they can’t even afford food.”

"Need I remind you, A-6A attack aircraft."

Bertie Bazel's expression froze, subconsciously raised his hand and touched his nose, his face was full of embarrassment, well, inertial thinking, stereotype, subconsciously ignored.

He was engaged in fighter jets, and when Sean reminded him, he immediately remembered that the second-generation jet fighters could be produced in the east, and the imitation MiG-19 had an output of nearly 6000.

让巴泽尔讨厌的正是这一点，二代的歼6在67年就曾经击落了美军的2架A－6A攻击机，而这款A－6A攻击机正是格鲁曼公司生产的。

The sufferer is here!

"Well, I admit that Dongfang has design and construction capabilities, but...they are all plagiarized Soviets, and we, Grumman, independently research and develop. Technically, Dongfang is not comparable to us!" Bazel said bluntly Said.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's about new aircraft and making money." Sean nodded perfunctorily, "I will take some technicians and materials to the east. There are not many technicians, mainly to provide ideas and information. Guide the work, and then the scientific research personnel in the East will help complete the design and test work."

"Why do we do this? We can do it independently!" Bazel frowned. He doesn't like the east side, very much, it's a shame!

"Nonsense!" Sean rolled his eyes, "How much is the monthly salary of an American scientific researcher? Do you know how much salary an American scientific researcher needs to spend in the laboratory every day? Do you know how much it is in the east? "

"Do you know how much it costs to develop the same technology in the United States? How much does it cost in the East?"

"Uh... I don't know." Bazel shook his head stupidly. How could he care about these things, but the capitalist's intuition told him that there might be a big gap.

"Let me tell you, the current monthly salary of aviation researchers in the east is 15-20 US dollars a month, and they voluntarily work overtime, and they don't need to be paid, and they can include food and lodging." Sean looked at Bazel with a strange smile.

"Pfft!" Bazel really spat out a mouthful of old blood. Even without working overtime, the difference was thousands of times!

If you work overtime, the price difference is 3 times, maybe more.

"If you let Grumman design and study this aircraft, how many researchers can you send?" Sean still looked at the other party with a strange expression.

"2 people." Bazel stretched out two fingers.

This refers to the project leader, who usually leads a research team, and there will be supporting auxiliary researchers and assistants. Generally, a team has about 15 people.

This is already a lot. The annual salary of the project leader is very high. The salary of a team adds up, and the monthly expenditure is about 25 US dollars. The scientific research team supported by Grumman is not much.

The company has to consider operating costs, and the investment in scientific research is really too high.

Many large companies have been dragged down by the pressure of scientific research. There is a reason why companies in the east are unwilling to invest in scientific research.

The so-called scientific research direction is illusory, and it is pure investment until the results are determined. Once the direction is wrong, all investment will be in vain.

Take rear projection technology and liquid crystal technology in the TV industry as an example. The competition was very fierce back then, but the final result was that the companies that bet on rear projection suffered heavy losses.

There are countless similar examples, such as the Blu-ray and HD disputes in optical disc technology.

The Blu-ray camp is dominated by companies such as Sony, Mitsubishi, and Dell, and the HD camp is dominated by Toshiba, NEC, Microsoft, and Intel. The final result is that the Blu-ray camp lost everything.

And even if the results are produced, it is still unknown whether it will bring profits. From laboratory results to industrial applications is another big hurdle, and this time is calculated in years.

How many results are rotten in the laboratory to eat ashes!

Even if industrialization is completed, it is still unknown whether the technology will be accepted by the market. I am afraid that it will be put into production and then rot in the hands.

Faced with so many difficulties, the vast majority of companies in the East are of course unwilling to invest money in this bottomless pit. If they have time to speculate in real estate, engage in finance, and clear up their relationships, they can easily make money.

Go crazy, take out the money and waste it, and you can't see a single wave!

Even if it really makes you confused, what's the use of being right, when the time comes, it won't be everyone together...cough, a lawsuit is useful, but the local protection...what are you doing...cough.

I find it a bit funny when you talk about the system—Zhou Weiming, Director of the Legal Affairs Office of Zixi County.

Closer to home...

Sean looked at Bazel with a half-smile, "Two people, so you said that the three-year-old aircraft rolled off the production line, but let me tell you, I can persuade them to use hundreds of people when they reach the east!"

"I said that I am the project leader, not just anyone can count!" Bazel shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, I said I'm also a researcher at the level of the project leader!" Sean laughed a few times, "You don't understand the system in the east, it's not capitalism there, and researchers don't need corporate support, as long as there is demand, The government can mobilize a large number of researchers to work for free with one word!"

"This is called a nationwide system!"

"As for the hundred-person project, it's nothing at all, and a few research institutes can make it together."

"Otherwise, why do you think their technological development is so fast!" Sean snorted and continued: "Of course, these have nothing to do with us, we are just a group of companies, and the technical support we provide will definitely not exceed the Batumi agreement."

"No..." Bazel stood up in a state of collapse and walked around the house. If everything was done according to what Sean said, the cost difference in research investment would be hundreds of times, perhaps hundreds of thousands, or millions. .

"But why are they willing to help you design and manufacture airplanes? Are they crazy?"

"Of course it's not free!" Sean stretched out a finger and gestured in the air, "I provide the funds for research and design, and they can use my funds to carry out research and development. The results are certain, so why not do it. "

"That's impossible. We pay for the research, and the patent is naturally ours. How can it be given to the East? It will cause trouble. Those anti-China people in the society and Congress will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble." Bazel shook his head and talked to the rattle. Same.

"Reminder, I paid for it!" Xiao En raised his eyebrows with a smile, and then continued: "Of course the patent belongs to our company. There is no concept of intellectual property rights in the east. In the east, no matter how big an invention is But a reward of a few dozen yuan is enough.”

"Of course, this has nothing to do with us. They can use these technologies domestically, but they cannot be used in any export products. Whether it is the US government or the umbrella, they will maintain and let those countries know that infringing products cannot be imported!"

"And, for the East, the benefits are not limited to that."
