Blackstone Code

Lynch made a rough calculation and found that just for his birthday, the total value of the gifts given to him was hundreds of thousands of dollars, not including the equity transfer letter given to him by Mr. Wardrick.

The lighter factory does not have all the equity, only 20%, but even this 20% is almost two to three million.

In total, I can collect more than three million yuan as gifts for a birthday, which is more than an ordinary person earns in a lifetime.

People often say that people are not rich or happy because they don’t work hard enough...

Who can tell me how hard we have to work within a fixed framework to be able to have so much wealth like this?

Of course, this may also be an encouragement. After all, if people see the reality clearly, they will only despair. Only by immersing themselves in the sweet pursuit of dreams can they have the motivation to live.

The birthday party outside was still going on, but Lynch and some gentlemen returned to the side hall. This was a closed-door meeting.

There are more than ten gentlemen sitting or standing here, each of them represents a military-industrial enterprise, which is also the most hidden interest group in the Federation.

In society, among ordinary people, few people talk about anything related to the military-industrial complex.

They will not discuss how much money these companies make each year, how much taxes they pay, how many employees they have, or how much influence they have in society.

The most people will do is discuss their new products, and not everyone will know these. Only those avid military enthusiasts will know what products each of them has.

But not much is known about deeper things. For example, no one knows their influence on Congress and their relationship with the military.

Or maybe someone knows, but these people remain silent.

Medical care and military industry are the two most powerful and largest industries in the Federation, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they seem to not exist.

"Gentlemen, I believe you already know some of the reasons why I invited you here." Lynch sat on a solo sofa with his legs crossed. The thick and wide sofa set off his unique status. .

The other gentlemen nodded, and Lynch had already made it clear when he invited them.

"Then you can talk about your ideas and whether you plan to cooperate with me."

Lynch chuckled a few times as he spoke, "Blackstone Security is currently the largest, legal, and registered military contractor in the world."

"We have professional soldiers, professional tactical command, professional military equipment, everything is professional!"

“The orders we are currently handling involve a variety of known simple or complex terrains such as mountains, forests, hills, plains, and cities.”

"Our clients include legitimate government organizations, insurrectionary organizations against government tyranny, wealthy businessmen, and many, many more."

"The situation we face is different every time, and there are many changes."

"If we can reach cooperation, it will be a good thing for both of us."

Everyone nodded again, these are also the reasons why they can appear here.

The temptation that Lynch proposed to them was too great, and they simply couldn't resist it.

When all military industrial companies design and produce a new piece of equipment, they will have an imaginary scope of use.

For example, companies that produce torpedoes would not think of using them in the desert. This is obviously impossible.

But the specific conditions of use in the ocean are also different. For example, are there any differences between tropical oceans and cold zone oceans?

If you encounter a school of fish during use, will any accidents happen?

Will ocean currents and gyres change the direction of the torpedo and affect its speed?

There are too many complex environmental factors that affect the actual function of a weapon product!

When designing and producing new equipment around a specific use environment, after the prototype product is released, they will also face a problem, that is, whether their product is as they imagined when it was designed and suitable for the occasion they designed it. used.

For example, there was once a problem that attracted the attention of many military-industrial groups: sand can cause firearms to malfunction.

When designing firearms, they did not consider that sand would be poured into the structure of their firearms, so these military industrial companies began to improve the design, so that many military products that should have been sold to the military at high prices ended up in stores. , sold to ordinary people at low prices.

After these ordinary people bought these weapons at a price that was almost as low as cost, they would still curse and say unpleasant things.

Therefore, before a weapon is actually released, it must go through many trials in different scenarios to find possible problems before it is finally determined.

Rather than simulating extremely harsh conditions in some laboratories, what Lynch proposed was more in line with their needs for a test environment.

Real combat environments, high-intensity or continuous battles, and all kinds of messy situations appear from time to time. Only this kind of large-scale real experiment can test the reliability of the product.

"Mr. Lynch, we are indeed interested in these things, but I don't know what the price will be."

The speaker's words aroused everyone's agreement. If the price is not high, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid Lynch wants too much.

This is not an ordinary person, and people will not underestimate Lynch, especially his glorious past that makes everyone treat him with caution, and they have even sensed "Lynch's malicious intent."

Think about it, so many representatives of giants in the industry are gathered here. If one person agrees to cooperate with Lynch, if the rest do not cooperate with Lynch, they will easily be "suppressed", and suppressed in all aspects. .

Even when the Ministry of National Defense dispatches orders, it will give priority to weapons and equipment that have been tempered in actual wars, rather than theoretically qualified weapons that stay in the laboratory!

This is not a conspiracy!

"You are responsible for providing the weapons and equipment we need for every military operation, including spares and ammunition..."

The first half of the sentence had already made everyone frown. If some experimental weapons require small-scale equipment, this means that they need an assembly line to produce at least three to five thousand.

If they are responsible for the ammunition as well, they need to consider whether cooperation with Lynch and Blackstone Security is really necessary.

Many people's concept of war is still based on how much a shell costs and how much a salvo costs.

In fact, the consumption of ammunition by ordinary soldiers can scare people to death.

According to the current market price, the cost of a bullet is between 25 and 35 cents, which is one bullet.

In a battle, a soldier can easily consume more than a hundred bullets. If it is a high-intensity war or a protracted battle, each soldier may consume hundreds or even thousands of bullets. hair.

Assume that a soldier consumes 300 bullets in a battle, and the price is about 90 yuan. For a thousand people, the ammunition cost is 90,000 yuan!

This is just a very ordinary battle, like a local conflict. If it is a large-scale attack and lasts for a long time, the consumption of bullets in one battle may exceed hundreds of thousands!

If these were all borne by military industrial enterprises, they would be unable to sustain it.

Looking at the dissatisfaction on these people's faces and their silence, Lynch was not nervous at all. This is how business is done. Not only can you bargain, but you can also make various conditions that others cannot refuse.

"We will return the unused weapons and equipment to you after the battle. Although they may have been used, they are still valuable. At least some problems can be found in them."

"Secondly, we will announce to the public the weapons we use every once in a while, rate all equipment, and we will publish a new magazine at the end of this year."

"It's called "Modern Warfare", and it will record some battles in which Blackstone Security participated, the weapons we used in these battles, and the soldiers' experiences and feelings."

"Finally, we will recommend to our customers to purchase weapons that our soldiers like or that are relatively technically mature."

Lynch naturally rolled his wrist, "You know, our customers are all wealthy people. They don't care about the price, they only care about whether they can buy what they need after spending money!"

“The Department of Defense is also one of our important customers!”

Not only did people’s tightly-caught brows not relax, but they tightened even tighter.

At this time, everyone has one thought in their mind, that is, "Lynch is such a piece of shit", he is too bad.

Now they have realized the value of Blackstone Security to military industrial enterprises. In addition to its continuous military missions, it can bring many military values ​​invisible to ordinary people. As the largest front-line users, their evaluation of military equipment is particularly important. !

People who buy chainsaws will not believe the words of the salesman in the mall who may have never been to the countryside. They only believe in the feeling of using it themselves or the recommendations of other woodcutter.

In the coming period, there will be no more influential military contractor than Blackstone Security, and their evaluation of weapons and equipment can almost be said to be conclusive!

No matter how good our own people or magazines are, how reliable will it be to have the reaction of soldiers on the front line?

People know who to listen to and how to choose, which also forces them to make choices.

Either give up cooperating with Lynch, and then watch your competitors be blown to the sky, and sales continue to rise.

Or... join in, accept Lynch's exploitation, and stand on the same starting line as other competitors.

This is the most hateful thing. They have to bear the extra expenses but can only get the result of fair competition. Capitalists are so damn disgusting!
