America’s Big Hero

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 50% 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 40% 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 50% 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.

"There is no more."

"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\u0026D 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 Bazel waved his arms and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "Mr. Sean, what international joke are you talking about? There is no factory? No R\u0026D center? The product will be offline for half a year." ?”

"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 plane."

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 6,000.

It is this that Bazel hates. The second-generation J-6 shot down two A-6A attack aircraft of the US military in 1967, and this A-6A attack aircraft was produced by Grumman.

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 scientific researchers in the east is 15-20 dollars a month, and they voluntarily work overtime without paying money, and they only need 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 3,000 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 250,000 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.

Similar examples are too numerous to enumerate, the Blu-ray and HD disputes of 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, we won't be together... ahem, a lawsuit is useful, but the local protection... What are you doing... ahem.

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."

"Except for some technologies that are explicitly prohibited by Batumi, I will hand over all other spare parts to the East for production and assembly, and then ship them to the United States by sea, and the finished product will be almost completed when it arrives. Of course, there are still some Batumi parts missing. Accessories that are prohibited by the government, such as night vision technology, radar technology, who knows, when the time comes, it will be enough to entrust Grumman to carry out the final installation, maybe there are none of these, we just need to put a new company’s trademark on it.”

"This is called OEM. It is not a finished product sold abroad. There is no tariff when it arrives in the United States. We don't need to build factories, hire labor, and don't even need management costs. Without patent costs, labor wages are 30 times lower than ours. In this case, the cost of the final aircraft will be lower than you can imagine."

Hearing Sean finish the complete idea, Bazel's eyes almost popped out. He is an insider, so of course he knows how low the cost will be and how high the profit will be after excluding these things.

Compared with completely researched and produced by Grumman, the profit of 20% may be higher than the 40% of completely produced by itself!

"Can you imagine how terrifying the productivity of a country with a complete industrial chain would be? The production speed is beyond Grumman's imagination!"

"So, in half a year, I'm going to start seeing profits!" Sean said firmly, and Bazel's blood boiled when he heard it.

What kind of hatred for the East, what kind of Grumman's face, doesn't exist!

Make money, don't be shabby!

Thinking of the terrifying profits that could be made in a short period of time, Bazel became excited. He knew that Grumman actually made more money than Sean imagined.

Airplanes are not just sold!

Wear-and-tear parts, follow-up maintenance, etc. Sean runs a leather bag company, and the final work must be done by Grumman, which means that as long as this series of aircraft is still in use, Grumman will always have A steady stream of profits.

Of course, even if Sean sees these profits in the future, the big deal is to put them in the joint venture company, and Grumman's 20% of the profits will still remain.

The two set the general direction, and the registration of the new company and the details of the negotiation are the business of the people below.

The only problem is that Sean is eager to get the company up and running, giving clear orders to both negotiating teams.

Normal business negotiations are much slower, and it is normal that it cannot be completed in half a year. Every detail has to be picked up, and the difference of 0.5 percentage points is a huge profit, but Sean doesn't care!

3 days, all negotiation work must be completed within 3 days!

Who dares to delay Xiao En from making money, Xiao En will let anyone not have to make money in this life!

What is fast negotiation!

Bazel has seen what it means to act vigorously and resolutely, and he also knows why Sean can earn billions of dollars in just a few years. This work efficiency is not normal with this boldness of giving up the small and grasping the big.

In fact, this is just a habit left by Xiao En in his previous life. Dongfang has been catching up with others for more than 100 years in development in the past 30 years, so he cares about how to do it.

After Sean delegated the negotiation work, he immediately asked Bazel to gather Grumman's experts. Within three days, he had to determine the expected parameters of the new aircraft, the technology to be equipped, and complete the theoretical demonstration and basic framework construction.

In the eyes of Bazel, this is really a fantasy. Can it be completed in less than 3 months?

This was simply challenging his cognitive limit, and he had to watch how Sean did it the whole time.

conference room...

Sean was in the main seat, 2 experts sat on the left and right sides, and 8 technical backbones, and Bazel was in the last seat to listen.

"Don't tell me about this technology, that technology, everything is up to me!" Sean waved his hands impatiently.

"One month, what are you kidding, what's the meaning of the parameter you mentioned? The cruising speed is 550 kilometers, and the Hellcat has already reached this level 45 years ago, so why do you still study?" A young man curled his mouth and squinted his eyes. He looked at Sean arrogantly.

For technicians, the most annoying thing is this kind of layman who doesn't understand anything to point fingers.

Tech geeks are not happy to hear it. As a free American people, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t say a few words.

The two experts didn't talk, they were veterans, and there were conflicts of interest in scientific research.

If you want to successfully complete scientific research tasks, have the freedom of scientific research, and earn a large amount of research funding, then you must take the lead in negotiating with your boss.

If the scientific research team can't get the dominance of scientific research, then it's not a thing to do scientific research, it's not... ahem.

The young people came out to make a rush, let the management understand the rigor of scientific research, understand that it is important not to point fingers, and it doesn't matter if they are speculated, and finally they will come forward to smooth things over.

Sean looked at the young man with a cold face and popped out various professional terms, such as root airfoil, wingtip airfoil, dihedral on the string, installation angle, geometric torsion...

What is the new application of materials, extruded profiles, thin plates made of aluminum alloy double beam torsion resistance...

What are the US military specifications and the airworthiness requirements of British civil aircraft, what are the CNC overall machining, chemical milling and metal bonding...

The crackling was just a gasp, Sean didn't respond yet, but Bazel's brows became tighter and tighter. Although this guy's tone was very rude, what he said was correct. No matter from any point of view, the short-term completion of the design Impossible to shape!

What a joke, this is a fighter jet!

Sean became more and more annoyed by what he heard, his eyes narrowed gradually, he reached out his hand to take out the pistol under his armpit, and a pistol fell into his hand, he gently released the safety, raised his hand, aimed, and the action was done in one go.

The young man was still spitting, only to hear a 'bang' gunshot, a bullet flew past the young man's head, the sound of the bullet piercing the air passed by his ears, making his ears buzzing.

The conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone stared at Sean holding a pistol in dumbfounded.

The young man subconsciously turned his head and looked back, as if to confirm something, he saw a bullet crater on the wall of the meeting room, and the warhead did not know where it was refracted.

'Gulu' swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and broke out in a cold sweat, instantly soaking through his clothes, and the young man's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although the others were not targeted by the guns, their reactions were not much better. The sound of swallowing saliva was heard one after another, which was very clear in the conference room where the needle could be heard.

The number of technical seminars here has been held countless times. It is common to quarrel, and it is not uncommon to shake fists at each other when you are excited. After all, it is the United States.

But it was the first time that the gun was shot directly without making any noise, and it was really shot at the head.

If this is a bit biased, I can't even imagine it. Now everyone sees it as brains.

It's just a small controversy in scientific research, as for?

ah!

As for it!

Scared to death!

They are just a group of scientific researchers, and have no access to the real upper class at all. Newspapers and TV stations aimed at ordinary people can make fun of the president, but they dare not expose Sean.

Even Rupert Murdoch's nemesis, News Corp, dabbed lightly, lashing out at things like arrogance without mentioning anything criminal at all.

Journalists know about it, but the more they know, the less they dare to say it...

Bazel jumped up like his butt was on fire. I heard that Sean had a bad temper, turned his face at every turn, and killed people like hemp. I used to think it was an exaggeration and someone smeared it. Now it seems...

Taking three steps at a time, he staggered towards Sean, shouting as he ran, "Mr. Sean, Mr. Sean, calm down, don't, really don't, young people are ignorant, give him a chance, let go!" Gun, put down the gun before talking."

"What are you still doing in a daze, and you haven't apologized to Mr. Sean." He turned his head and yelled at the young man.

Nian's lover shuddered suddenly, and then he came to his senses, and apologized to Sean stutteringly.

"Crack" Sean slapped the gun on the conference table, "Now tell me, who has the final say!"

"What you say counts!"

"Does the parameter make sense!"

"It makes sense, it makes sense!"
