Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

No one really knows how many steel products are in the U.S. military warehouses. It's not that management is chaotic, it's mainly that there are too many military bases. Moreover, every move involves waste, and everyone turns a blind eye to this; no one takes it too seriously. Ian Wright understands that if he wants to gain more support from the Black Cloud Group, he must not be stingy in terms of material supply.

Therefore, he not only greeted Secretary of Defense Weinberg, but also asked family insiders to investigate. In fact, Bao Zixuan also valued this, so he used the aircraft company to lure General Wright. Since technology and production lines are difficult to maintain, how to maximize profits has become an issue that needs to be considered.

If it does not agree to sell its technology and production lines to American companies, then Heiyun Group will never have a good life. The strength is still not enough and needs to be continuously strengthened.

The power and influence of the Wright family in the military is really great. In less than a day, the inventory of scrap steel was calculated.

Scrap steel is just a name. For the wealthy U.S. military, when has it ever used old products? I just want to give an explanation to the public, and the purpose is to let the people know. When the U.S. military does business with the Heiyun Group, they exchange old products and obsolete materials without using a penny of taxpayers' money.

Scrap steel is exchanged for the most advanced technology and production lines; no matter how you look at it, it is the Americans who take advantage.

In addition to leaving necessary safety stocks to prepare for emergencies, it can also come up with a share of 34 million tons. What is this concept? It is equivalent to China's annual steel production. It is actually only part of the inventory of the US military; this shows the hard power of the US military.

If we are more ruthless, it is estimated that 50 million tons will not be a big problem. This is where the confidence lies. Ian Wright believes that with these Bao Zixuan, he will definitely be satisfied.

After sorting things out, General Wright came to the Black Cloud Group again. If everything goes well, we can end our trip to Xiangjiang and return to the United States today. At this time, he couldn't wait. Whether his family can become the top wealthy family in the United States depends on whether the negotiations can be successful. Although it is a bit unwilling to leave one's own destiny in the hands of others, this may be a process that must be experienced when cooperating with the strong.

Bao Zixuan still greeted him personally, even if the contract was signed; many things still depended on the American general, and he still had to give him enough face. The two exchanged a few words and then got down to business.

We have met twice in the past few days. This should be the most grueling negotiation since Mr. Bao started his business. But I can't help but be cautious. After all, it involves the US military, but I don't dare to take it lightly.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "General Wright, how are you considering the matter? Heiyun is always ready, just waiting for the opinions and sincerity of the United States."

It seems that this kid is more anxious than himself, and the young man just can't calm down. At this time, General Wright felt that he was more mature than Bao Zixuan. Little did they know that this was done deliberately by Bao Shoufang, just to make the other party take it lightly.

In the 1990s, major U.S. aircraft giants entered a stage of mergers and acquisitions. For example, Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas; Lockheed merged with Martin-Marietta; Northrop merged with Grumman, all of which occurred during this period. For the Heiyun Group, it is a huge threat. The competitors to be faced are more powerful and have more abundant political resources.

The best way to make Black Cloud competitive is to prevent this from happening. It may be a good choice for the United States to establish a few more aircraft manufacturing companies and then help others in disguise to prevent them from being merged.

Even if Wright knew it, he was not afraid. Being able to become a general shows that his ambition is not small. Why isn't the newly established Wright Aircraft merging with others? As the tide turns, who might be there next time?

Ian Wright: "The Ministry of National Defense has agreed to exchange scrap steel for technology and production lines; it also hopes that Heiyun Group will provide a full set of technologies. In other words, the factory must ensure that it can produce all accessories."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan knew that the old boy was preparing to give birth on his own. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get so much, because some equipment may be cheaper to buy in the United States.

As long as there is a request, it is fine, but I am afraid that the other party will not make any request.

Bao Zixuan: "There are no problems with these, but it may be difficult to produce all parts. For example, Heiyun Group also purchases parts such as flight instruments, displays, chips, tires, etc. from outside. As for other problems, they are not big. I hope General Wright understood.

"Of course it's not impossible for General Wright to want to produce it, but the cost will be very high; plus it's not particularly professional, it's not worth the gain."

"At the same time, in order to show sincerity, Heiyun Group will personally transport the equipment to the United States. Of course, it is best to be escorted by the US Navy during the journey."

After all, he is a professional. Before, he just wanted to be able to produce quickly. As everyone knows, this is not the time of World War II, and electronic accessories and chips have been put into use in large numbers. Gone are the days when a product could be completely replicated by packaging production lines, technicians, and drawings.

Germany's V2 missiles were simply and crudely shipped back to the country by the U.S. military without leaving even a screw to the Soviet Union. It can be said that it can be produced directly after returning to China. Ian Wright's father was involved in this matter and told it as a story to them since he was a child.

V2 is the world's first ballistic missile with practical significance; it was widely used during World War II, and Germany launched more than 4,300 missiles towards the United Kingdom and Belgium. Although the accuracy was just that, the damage caused to the Allies was very limited. But all countries are not fools, and they soon realized that once this missile is perfected, it has unlimited potential in the future. The United States was the first country to take action. After Germany attacked London with V2 missiles, the United States began to form a special operations team and went to the Nordhausen area to conduct various investigations. Everything the special task force does will be extremely confidential, because before this, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union have just reached an agreement and decided to divide Germany into four parts and occupy them separately. Unfortunately, the Nordhausen area is a Soviet-occupied area!

The U.S. special operations team was undoubtedly successful. They successfully investigated a large amount of information, such as more than 100 V2 missiles being produced. He even learned about the German SS through special means and moved the V2 missile blueprints into an abandoned mine. After all investigations were completed, the US military followed the premeditated plan and captured the Nordhausen area that was originally agreed to be occupied by the Soviet army, and had already prepared the transport brigade to carry out demolition and removal work. This includes the V2 missile blueprints buried in the mines, more than 100 V2 missiles, as well as a large number of important parts, instruments and equipment, etc., and by the way, more than 400 technical experts from the German rocket factory were taken away. Of course, the U.S. military has acquired far more than just V2 missiles, but also many other German black technologies, such as Karl mortars, Maus tanks, and so on.

Some of them could not be moved. In order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the incoming Soviets, the Americans destroyed many of Germany's most advanced weapons. The Gustav cannon disappeared completely in this way.

This task is quite large, but the United States is also well prepared. They mobilized hundreds of large trucks and repaired the railway, loading a total of 340 train cars.

Bao Zixuan said that he wanted to send the equipment directly to the United States, but he was worried that the US military would do the same to him. It dared to cheat the Soviet Union back then, not to mention that Heiyun was just a company.

In case the production line is transported away, and then the remaining equipment is destroyed. By then it may be too late to cry, and you won’t be able to reason with the US military because it doesn’t make sense at all.

But Ian Wright really didn't think about it, and thought Bao Zixuan was trying to show his favor to him. We have technical drawings and production lines, but if we want to produce qualified products, we really need the full cooperation of Heiyun Group. He is more of an empty shell now, and he has not even completed the factory building.

Even if the factory is completed, Bao Zixuan will need help for equipment installation and debugging; now, even shipping costs are saved.

Ian Wright: "What Mr. Bao said makes sense, but he still lacks experience. Fortunately, I have you as a professional, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

"We are all friends. I think Mr. Bao will not trick me. Just follow your advice and tell me where you need cooperation. The US military will never disappoint."

You won’t fool me, the meaning is already obvious; this is the rhythm of wanting to go it alone.

This is what Mr. Bao wants. If the opportunity is given to other aircraft manufacturing companies, the desired results will not be achieved. The rise of emerging forces will inevitably be surrounded and suppressed by old forces. Even if the Wright family is not weak, it still needs to face the entire American aviation giant. It is not that simple to break out of the encirclement.

When the factory cannot find workers and technicians, it will inevitably ask Bao Zixuan for help. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the U.S. aerospace manufacturing industry.
