Chapter 398 You call this business negotiation?

Establishing a consortium or something like that is a matter for the future.

The top priority now is to make money, Sean is almost broke.

According to Shen Bi, his more than 400 million yuan is simply not enough, not even enough to sign broadcast rights with the four major leagues.

What's more, Sean still wants to do so many things.

Shen Bi thinks Sean is a very magical person who always tries his best to make himself bankrupt!

In a short period of time, Sean couldn't think of any idea to make a large sum of money quickly. After all, there were not many opportunities like this for Ka Dazuo.

After thinking for a while, Sean decided on the Super Toucan.

The original Super Tucano was produced in Brazil and was put into the market after 2000. It is in service in Brazil, Colombia, Dominica, Chile, Ecuador, Burkina Faso, Angola, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Afghanistan and other countries.

In 2013, the United States also ordered 20 aircraft for use in the Afghan battlefield.

This is because the Brazilian government is not strong enough, resulting in poor sales of the aircraft. If it were replaced by Sean... No, if it were replaced by the US government, the sales of the Super Tucano would be better and the price would be higher!

Sean: Are you going to buy it or buy it or buy it?

Buyer: Buy, buy, buy...

This aircraft is an old-fashioned turboprop aircraft, so its take-off and landing performance is very good. In addition to taking off and landing on standard cement runways, it can also take off and land on dirt runways, gravel runways, grass airports and snow-covered runways. This aircraft is very suitable for basic

Small countries with poor infrastructure are more friendly, easier to operate, and safer and more reliable.

Compared with jet aircraft, it has high requirements for runways, infrastructure and pilots, which is too unfriendly to small countries.

In addition to the above advantages, the Super Tucano also has many benefits. The flight cost of a propeller aircraft is only about 400 US dollars per hour. Compared with not only jet aircraft, but also compared with helicopters, the flight cost is much lower.

In addition, the stall speed of this propeller aircraft is only 148 kilometers/hour, which is convenient for low-speed reconnaissance and ground attack. The low fuel consumption allows the Tucano to patrol the air for up to 8 hours, and attack or support the ground at any time. The cruising speed reaches

520 km/h, it can approach the battlefield faster and make it easier to avoid individual anti-aircraft missiles.

It has a longer combat radius, longer combat duration, faster speed, better battlefield survivability, lower fuel consumption, lower operating difficulty, lower maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost than an armed helicopter.

In addition, the larger body allows the Tucano to carry more weapons, including cannon pods, rocket nests, ordinary bombs, cluster bombs, laser-guided bombs, anti-tank missiles, and even infrared combat missiles.

These characteristics make the Super Tucano very suitable for maritime patrol, anti-submarine, anti-terrorism, and anti-guerrilla warfare.

Wu Dalang was a night owl, and he was a bird for everyone. Those small countries were very backward in all aspects, with high frequency of battles and low intensity of battles. Compared with advanced jet fighters, obviously backward propeller aircraft were more suitable.

In places like Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and Syria, this aircraft will be very easy to sell, and Sean is sure to make a lot of money!

The most important thing is that this is a serious business and legal income.

The word legal is simply too important!

"Building a plane?" David looked at Sean with a strange look, "What kind of plane are you trying to build? I see you are working on a plane!"

"After staying in Africa for a while, your IQ was also infected by those niggas!"

"This is really such a pity!"

"Fighters!" Sean rolled his eyes, but the old man's mouth was still so vicious, "I found a very serious problem in Libya, whether it is those Arabs or niggas, the current jets and armed helicopters are very difficult for them.

It’s all too difficult.”

"Can you imagine a nigga who eats watermelons, walks on cotton, and makes his fortune all by learning to fly a third-generation jet fighter?"

David tilted his head and thought seriously, "I think agricultural aircraft are more suitable for them!"

"So!" Sean spread his hands, "Whether it's an American, European or Soviet aircraft, they are all just big toys to them. I just sold 200 aircraft to Kazuo, which have been discontinued by the Orientals.

The helicopter, whose only weapon is a 12.7mm cannon, is very popular!"

"Moreover, I helped them develop a new method of hovering in the air, holding bombs and throwing them out of the warehouse door. This tactic was unanimously praised!"

Phew, old man David laughed out loud, "Damn it, are they all stupid? They would actually approve such a damn thing."

"Why not?" Sean said matter-of-factly, "That's Africa. Although this tactic is bullshit, their opponents are a group of niggas picking cotton in the cotton fields!"

"Both RPGs and individual anti-aircraft missiles need to have launch angles. Before they can shoot down the aircraft hovering overhead, the tail flames ejected to the ground will burn them to death!"

"Or do you think black African faith shooters can shoot down planes overhead?"

"Well, you really can't ask for so much!" Old David laughed and slapped the table.

After saying it was not a joke, Sean told the whole story about his plan, and talked about the Brazilian Tucano, which is still used as a training aircraft but can carry modern weapons.

The Brazilian Air Force ordered 118 of its own, Egypt ordered 120, 40 for its own use, and the remaining 80 for the Inlac Air Force. The market prospects are broad.

I first heard this from Kadazou when we were in Libya, and it was only then that Sean remembered the Toucan thing.

"It's not impossible. Are you planning to find a Brazilian to cooperate?" David thought for a while and asked.

"No, I plan to go it alone. I don't want them to make money by cooperating with them. This thing has no technical content. I believe that the technical reserves of several American aircraft manufacturers are completely sufficient to manufacture aircraft." Sean shrugged.

"If I can make money myself, why should I share it with the Brazilians?"

David sneered at Sean's idea of ​​a small farmer who liked to do everything by himself and have everything in his hands.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't mind giving Sean advice.

"Do you know Grumman?"

Sean shook his head.

"They have produced the F6F Hellcat fighter, F7F Tigercat fighter, and F8F Panda fighter. A total of more than 20,000 propeller fighters have been manufactured before and after. Among them, the F7F is a carrier-based type. They have the world's richest propeller fighter manufacturing capabilities and

experience."

"Although their main research and development direction has now changed to jet fighters, the technology accumulation is still there. You can talk to them about cooperating in production, re-establishing a joint venture, or other methods, you can consider it yourself."

Sean's eyes lit up. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Old man David not only knows a lot, but also has a wide network of contacts.

"It's Grumman!" Sean agreed, "Old man, please call!"

Old man David's face turned dark immediately. He was already preparing to kill the donkey before he finished using it!

After scolding Sean a few words, old man David was very harsh in his words, but he picked up the phone and dialed out honestly.

Just like Shen Bi said, Rockefeller secretly held a small amount of shares in Grumman through other financial institutions. Although he did not usually participate in management, it was still useful to say something.

The next day, Sean showed up at Grumman.

Grumman was originally the director of the Loring Company. When the company moved from New York State to Pennsylvania in 2028, Grumman decided to go it alone and bought with several partners a bankrupt 25-year-old factory located in Cox's Creek, Long Island, New York.

Lamming Aircraft Company, renamed: Grumman.

Grumman started out by selling the Grumman FF fighter biplane with retractable landing gear to the U.S. Navy.

The original company is in New York State, the new company is in Long Island, New York, and it can get orders from the U.S. Navy. Isn't it natural that Rockefeller has a stake in it?

During World War II, Grumman's Cat series of fighter jets shone brightly, including the F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, and F8F Panda. Two-thirds of the aircraft lost in Japan were shot down by Grumman products.

.

After World War II, it experienced a period of low ebb, and the most successful product currently is the F-14 Tomcat.

The person who received Sean was Bertie Bazzell, the president of Grumman Corporation, a professional manager. Among Grumman's descendants, there are not very outstanding talents who can control the development of the company.

Bertie Buzzell seemed very enthusiastic. With Sean's current status, even companies with whom he had little contact would not neglect him.

Welcoming Sean into the company with a few entourages, and after a while of greetings, we heard that Sean was very interested in the Cat series of propeller fighters they produced in their early years, so they took Sean to visit the company's museum.

The old aircraft is 40 years ago. No matter how glorious it was back then, the complete aircraft can only be found in museums...

In the aircraft museum, Sean recognized the legendary F6F aircraft at a glance.

The F6F set an unparalleled record, shooting down a total of 5,155 aircraft in less than 2 years.

bidige.

Then there is the F7F Tigercat. Sean knew from Bertie Bazzell's introduction that this aircraft participated in the Battle of Chosin Lake.

When the U.S. military was trapped in a tight siege in the Changjin Lake area, the "Tiger Cats" of the 542nd Squadron helped the main force of the 1st Marine Division withdraw from the hellish Changjin Lake area.

The last is the F8F Panda, which is also the last propeller fighter.

After the visit was completed, Sean explained the purpose of his visit. He wanted to purchase the design information and technology of the "Cat" series of fighter jets.

It is data and technology rather than patents. For things that were created 40 years ago, the patents have long expired. In fact, in the United States, this technology has also expired long ago. As long as there are detailed design drawings and detailed information on various technologies, even if it is

Companies that produce agricultural aircraft can complete production.

In the office, Bertie Bazell was deep in thought. He raised his head and said, "These are all expired technologies. They are not unsaleable, and Mr. Sean also knows that they are not valuable."

"So, I would like to know why Mr. Sean purchased these things?"

Sean thought for a while and said with a smile: "Of course I plan to produce it to make money, otherwise, I wouldn't want to make a big toy."

Bertie Buzzell looked confused, "This old airplane? Make money? Sorry, sir, I'm not questioning you, I just, it's just hard to imagine what it would be like for this kind of old-fashioned grandpa airplane to participate in combat."

Look."

"I really can't imagine where they would be used."

"Let's first talk about whether it can be sold." Sean raised his eyebrows.

Bertie Buzzell tilted his head and thought for a while. He couldn't find a reason to refuse. Although the technology belonged to Grumman, such old-fashioned things were really not cherished so much that they couldn't offend Rockefeller and Sean. "Of course."

no problem."

"It's actually very simple, it's just..." Sean looked up and looked into Bertie Bazell's eyes and said sincerely: "Mr. Bazell won't steal business from me, right?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Sean is joking, how could I do this!" Bertie Buzzell quickly waved his hand, "I am an upright businessman, and I will never do such despicable things as plagiarism."

If an ordinary person came up with a good idea, Bertie Buzzell might even think of doing some tricks. The best result would be to give the creative a little bit of leverage.

Of course, this is trivial enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime.

Whether it's hypocrisy, whether it's promoting products, whether it's buying people's hearts, or whether it's buying horse bones for a thousand bucks, in the end it's all about making more money. Anyway, in this regard, capitalism does a pretty good job.

But if that person turns out to be Sean Rockefeller...

Not to mention who in the United States dares to plagiarize the American shareholder Rockefeller, even Sean himself, he is not an easy person to talk to!

Rockefeller might be concerned about his identity, and would only use business methods and connections to mentally attack his opponents. If he were replaced by this person in front of him... Who in the upper class doesn't know that Sean, the most likely way is to solve the problem physically!

"Hahaha, I know Mr. Barzel is an upright man." Sean laughed and gave a thumbs up, and then said with a smile: "There is not only the United States in this world, but I have always lived in the United States, and in New York.

You who live in the most prosperous and top cities in the world cannot imagine what it is like in backward areas."

"You have lived in the center of the world for too long, and you have no idea that even the technology of World War II is still advanced and unsurpassed in nearly half of the world."

"Even for this kind of propeller fighter, there are only 10 countries in the world that can produce it."

"Then what?" Bertie Buzzell spread his hands, he didn't understand what this had to do with anything.

"Okay..." Sean repeated what he said to old man David.

Bertie Buzzell suddenly understood!

Yes, there is no world war anymore!

In areas where wars broke out, both warring parties were lower than those in World War II in terms of the number of troops, the quality of the soldiers, the scope of combat, the intensity of the war, and the level of technology.

The 'Cat' series of fighter jets were the most outstanding fighter jets in World War II and are fully capable of meeting today's combat needs. What's more, Grumman has more advanced technology that can completely revitalize the outdated F6F.

They have stayed in the United States for too long. They only see the US military and forget that there are many backward countries in the world. Their inertial thinking prevents them from seeing the huge market in the third world.

And Sean, who has personally been on the battlefield, saw the business opportunities keenly!

It is very classic that there are no shoes in Africa. As they are sold through many channels, they have feet!

Now in the late Cold War, orders from the U.S. military are getting fewer and fewer. Grumman is in trouble and is worried about finding a way out.

Bertie Bazell's heart beat faster, a vast market appeared in front of him, and the company was about to be reborn in his hands, but...when he looked up, he saw Sean's smiling face.

Suddenly, it was like having ice water poured on my head during the cold winter. When I woke up instantly, my whole body was half cold.

Cutting off Sean Hu is difficult, difficult, difficult!

It’s true that Grumman has technology, but this thing has already expired its protection period!

There are too many companies that can manufacture such low-end products, even if they are modernized.

Bertie Buzzell put his hands on his chest and looked at Sean with a sad face, "I really regret it. I shouldn't have asked this question. If I didn't ask, I wouldn't feel regretful. I feel heartache and my heart will be broken."

!”

Although these small countries are poor, they cannot support many.

He is not old David, he is a true industry insider, and he is well aware of various data of fighter jets, suitable combat environments, and the differences in combat effectiveness that can be exerted on different battlefields.

Jet fighters are indeed powerful and advanced, but their advantages are speed, combat radius, and stealth capabilities. Their combat goals are air combat and survivability in response to surface-to-air missile attacks.

However, these capabilities are not needed at all in the area where the war is currently taking place!

What they need is ground attack capabilities, ground and air reconnaissance, easy operation, low consumption, ultra-long cruise time, and protection against individual air defense missiles and anti-aircraft guns...

What kind of jet fighter do you want?

"Would you like to help me?" Sean smiled and looked at Bertie Bazell, "Let's set up an aircraft manufacturing company specifically for the third world."

Bertie Bazzell laughed dryly. Although Grumman has been in trouble recently, it is still one of the most famous fighter manufacturers in the United States and even the world. He is crazy to engage in some bullshit with Sean in the third world. Isn't that just selling junk!

"Mr. Sean, I admit that this is a virgin land that has yet to be developed. In theory, it will have better market prospects. However, aircraft manufacturing is not that simple. This is not a tractor or an agricultural aircraft. It is not just taking the drawings.

It can be used as a fighter jet by just welding it. As Mr. Sean said himself, there are only 10 countries in the world that have the ability to manufacture fighter jets."

"That's why I'm telling you this." Sean smiled and shrugged, "What does Grumman have in mind?"

"We at Grumman are responsible for redesigning, manufacturing, and selling this new propeller fighter. Mr. Sean doesn't have to worry about anything and will get 15% of the pure profit. I think this is a more reasonable cooperation plan."

"Ha, let's talk about the complete set of design drawings and technology of the Cat series." Sean said with a sneer.

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

"Huh?" Sean's face suddenly dropped, "What, Bertie Buzzell, you are kidding me!"

"There are some scrapped 'Cat' series aircraft in the military's abandoned airport. Even if they are dismantled, they can be assembled into complete aircraft. There is no difficulty in restoring the technology." Sean stood up and looked at Bob condescendingly.

Ty Bazell, "You have to understand that I, Sean, found your Grumman face because of my kindness, because Rockefeller is a shareholder of Grumman, and because I respect the original factory and the Grumman family.

Nothing to hide!"

"If someone chooses to be greedy because of my good intentions, believe me, if there is no integrity, God will punish him, including his whole family, and they will not end well and will go to hell!"

Bertie Buzzell's expression suddenly turned ugly. After all, he was also the head of a world-famous military company. This was the first time he had been threatened like this in person.

"Be careful, be careful of any robberies happening around you, there will be flying stray bullets, be careful of those who have an emotional breakdown and seek revenge on society, be careful of large trucks that are driving out of control due to fatigue, be careful of drivers who are drunk or high and racing, be careful

When throwing objects at high altitudes, be careful of fires caused by electric leakage. Even when you go to the hospital for a physical check-up, you have to be careful about contracting AIDS from reused needles when drawing blood!"

Every time Sean said something, Bertie Buzzell turned pale. Why should you be careful with these things!

However, what Sean was talking about was punishment from God. This is very consistent with the teachings and makes it difficult for people to find fault with it, but anyone who is not stupid knows what it means!

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

It was just a threat. Bertie Buzzell couldn't do anything to Sean, but he obviously didn't dare to turn a deaf ear to this threat.

There are many people in the United States who can leave Sean behind and go it alone without fear of Sean's revenge, such as several major families and several major consortiums, but this definitely does not include Grumman Corporation, let alone Bertie Barzel.

Sean laughed, sat down again and said with a warm face: "I was just joking, it's a business negotiation."

Bertie Buzzell's mouth twitched: You call threatening to kill an entire family a business negotiation?

Okay, I'll be honest with you!

"Mr. Sean, what do you think is the best way to cooperate?" Bertie Buzzell calmed down and asked solemnly. In this negotiation, he knew that he was completely passive.

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

Bertie Buzzell nodded.

"Very good. Based on this consensus, I want to say that I respect intellectual property rights and I also care about my reputation. Therefore, I will not do such a damn thing." Sean looked serious.

said.

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

Sean really hates those behaviors that don’t respect intellectual property rights, never do any research themselves, and just say that it belongs to the country and then just take away other people’s results and use them.

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

It doesn’t matter externally, the key is to do the same internally. This is no longer short-sighted. To put it bluntly, it is still the same sentence. In the official position, this is not considered reading or promiscuous skills. Using your results is to give you face!

Ahem, yes, I’m talking about pirated novels!

There is absolutely no other meaning, trust me!
