Blackstone Code

"Look with your eyes..."

The people on both ends of the phone laughed softly as he spoke.

"This change is very good. We need a president who can take the initiative to intervene, rather than a president who we push and take one step. There is a big difference. I should donate some money to the gentlemen in Congress."

Lynch's words were light-hearted. After figuring out the reason, he found those people in Congress very cute for the first time.

Originally, Mr. President was not a very radical person. He could even be said to be a bit conservative, but because he did not want the president to get more privileges and did not want the outbreak of war to affect the power of Congress and the support of some capitalists.

They took a very wrong step, pushing the wavering President one step closer to the radicals.

This is a good thing. Once the president realizes the benefits of change, he will be even more eager to gain more support and power.

After a few seconds, Mr. Trueman moved on to something else.

"The negotiations are basically over. We have a list and the quantity to sell, but the price issue has not been discussed. Do you need to talk to them individually, or give a public price?"

"In short, we don't care about this problem. You can just deal with these people before February."

"As for the rest, there's nothing wrong with it."

Lynch hesitated, "Can I know which company's aircraft the Ministry of Defense purchased?"

"Of course, it's no secret that Komoko Industries and Lanying Industries have received new orders from the Ministry of Defense, but the quantity has not yet been determined."

"The Ministry of National Defense is discussing issues related to the establishment of the Air Force with Congress. If there are no major obstacles, the Federal Air Force will be established in the second half of next year. The specific number of aircraft that will be ordered from them will only be known at that time."

The Air Force has not yet been established, and neither the Army nor the Navy wants to spend their own money to purchase aircraft in large quantities.

They have already applied for additional budget for Lynch's aircraft. If they apply again, it will be discussed whether Congress will agree to it. Some investigation measures may be initiated, which the military is not willing to see.

To put it simply, if the military has been applying for new additional budgets, Congress can investigate the military's budget and military expenditures according to regulations to determine that they indeed need this part of the funds to enhance military facilities.

There is nothing wrong with this response mechanism. Content related to the military is relatively sensitive. After all, it is a violent organization.

Applying for new budgets all the time will inevitably make people think that these people have other ideas or are doing something dangerous.

Therefore, it is only normal to arrange an investigation team to investigate and clean up the use of military funds. If it is really necessary, Congress will definitely approve it.

This is the truth, but the military will not agree. The reason is very simple. Not all the military funds they applied for are used where they need to.

Soldiers also need to live and have families. Is it wrong to slightly improve the lives of officers?

Definitely not.

For example, the military has established many "unplanned" clubs, which can provide some soldiers and officers with a place to relax and reduce their work stress.

Although there are some rumors in the society that these clubs that are only open to federal soldiers have recruitment problems, this is definitely a rumor, and there is no way they can do this!

The army and navy were left alone, and the head of the air force had not yet been selected, so there was no room for discussion on budget or anything like that.

Some internal struggles within the military are also fierce now. Everyone can see that the future development prospects of this air force are great, and everyone wants to become the leader of the air force in the past.

Especially officers at the general level are busy running relationships during this period, and they have no time to pay attention to other things.

After finishing the conversation, Lynch wrote down the names of the two companies in his notebook, Komoko and Lanying.

He had never heard of these two companies before, and they should be newly established.

Lynch guessed well. These two companies were joint ventures established by several old military industry companies in order to prevent Lynch from further expansion in the military industry.

Therefore, they used some clumsy methods to get Lynch's bombers out of the game early.

But they never imagined that Lynch's real secret weapon was not a plane that could lay eggs, but... a plane that could masturbate!

The next day, Lynch went to the Flight Research Institute early in the morning and discussed the price of the aircraft with the chief engineer.

Considering that last time Lynch closed his eyes and priced an aircraft costing about 40,000 yuan at 150,000 yuan, the chief engineer felt that the price of this bomber should not be lower than 200,000 yuan at least.

In fact, in terms of cost, the new bomber only strengthened the engine, using a strengthened engine, and then completed a new appearance design with the help of a wind tunnel.

In terms of cost, it might be less than 60,000 yuan, but he felt that the price of 200,000 yuan was already...a bit high.

"This is why you are still just a chief engineer..." Standing in the research institute, Lynch stopped, a little disappointed with the chief engineer's quotation ability.

"You have to tell them that in order to realize our plan for the aircraft to complete long-range bombing, we specially designed a brand-new engine. Let alone the enhanced version, Type II, etc., it is a brand-new, independently designed engine. .”

"After tens of thousands of experiments, its final design was determined and produced."

He started walking again, the chief engineer following closely behind him.

It was obvious that Lynch was just a college student in name, and that he actually just graduated from middle school, but the chief engineer always felt that it was difficult to look up to him to the limit.

It is like a towering mountain, standing at the foot of the mountain you can never see the top.

But when you start climbing, you will find that it is more majestic and steeper than you imagined!

There is no other thought except worship and reverence.

"Let's just bomb the I-type engine. The price of a single engine is... let's give it 150,000. If you add the fuselage and everything together, it's 350,000. It's really a bargain for them!"

The chief engineer's hand holding the pen shook uncontrollably. He felt like he was losing money when he bought something worth 60,000 yuan for 350,000 yuan. No wonder he was just an engineer!

This time there are about 2,000 sales, hundreds of millions in sales, but the tax is also high.

Adding in a lot of other mess, it's a blessing that Blackstone Airlines can finally record a profit of 200 million. Adding some profit sharing and later R\u0026D investment, it's a net profit of tens of millions.

Of course, this is just an ideal income. In fact, many times the planned ideal and the reality are two different things. You think they can accept this price, but they think not.

But generally speaking, in the military industry, as long as the direction of research and development is correct, it is difficult to make big losses.

This is why those people are reluctant to let Lynch enter the military industry. Once Lynch comes in and there are more suppliers, competition will become fierce.

Reducing profits is the most effective and most effective way in business competition.

In the end, everyone will squeeze each other's profit margins and turn huge profits into small profits. This does not meet the capitalists' demand for benefits.

As long as there are not so many people in this industry, they have the final say on how to set prices.

The next few days will be rounds of negotiations. The price of 350,000 yuan is indeed a bit high for many countries. They hope to be slightly cheaper, even if it is cheaper by tens of thousands of yuan, it is excellent.

At the same time, issues related to education reform and food shortage have once again become hot topics in society.

This has even triggered more problems and confrontations. For example, some sociologists who insist on opposing immigration believe that food shortages are caused by too many immigrants.

In the past, the federation did not lack food, and there was even some surplus that could be exported. The reason why there is a shortage of food now is because the entire food production and use structure has become a problem.

As before, the ratio of farmers to farms is in line with society's demand for food. Even a natural increase in population will not put a burden on food production.

But immigrants are different. They are outsiders, joining the federal society in hundreds of thousands, millions or tens of millions at a time.

The food system that was originally sufficient to supply the needs of the entire society is no longer sufficient, so the prices of some grains have begun to rise. This is a natural reaction of the market.

When someone cannot buy food at the original price, they will raise the price, so food prices will rise.

And this is also where those who firmly reject immigrants have more evidence to support their ideas. Demonstrators have appeared in some places, holding up slogans such as "Immigrants get out of our country" to promote their ideas everywhere. Thought.

Society is in a stage of rapid change, which is normal. After all, after the passion of war cools down, changes in the international community will soon be reflected within each country.

Some problems that were usually not discovered by them gradually began to become prominent.

A new round of opposing positions begins to emerge, conflicts begin to accumulate, and everything is preparing for the next war!

Lin Qi looked at the street scene outside the window and thought so.

This is actually a reincarnation. The outbreak of war not only responds to a country's needs in the international community, but more importantly, resolves domestic conflicts between classes, conflicts between races, and all conflicts!

The group of people who had just passed by had not completely left Lynch's sight, and some new marching groups entered his sight.

The words "I want to go to school" on the sign and the children sitting next to the garbage dump seem to attract people's attention more than "immigrants get out of our country". At least these things are related to their own vital interests.

At least not every family cannot afford to eat, but every family will have children, and there will be a steady stream of children!
