Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Zebulon is an executive of Raytheon in the United States and is the person in charge of Raytheon at the Paris Air Show. As soon as you hear the name, you can guess that this family's dialect is typical of Jews. And the bloodline is very pure. It can be said that my parents, grandparents, and grandparents are all of Jewish descent. Speaking of Raytheon, it has some connections with the richest man. The founders of Raytheon all have MIT backgrounds; most current scientific researchers are also MIT alumni.

Raytheon was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1922 as the "American Instruments Company" by MIT undergraduate graduate Lawrence K. Marshall and his college classmate Vannevar Bush; as well as young scientists, It was co-organized by Charlie G. Smith, then an associate professor at MIT.

In the early days, the company was mainly engaged in the refrigerator business. After failure, it turned to the production of Thor brand electronic tubes and achieved great success. In 1925, the company officially changed its name to "Thor Manufacturing Company". After more than 60 years of development and innovation, Raytheon has become a leading company in industries such as military technology, government and commercial electronics, business aircraft and special mission aircraft; it is definitely a household name in the United States.

Although the popularity in the world is average, it is just that ordinary people are not familiar with it; if the military of various countries hears the name of Raytheon Company, they must give it enough face.

Yesterday, the second son of Iraq wanted to buy Standard-1 anti-aircraft missiles from Raytheon Company. How is this possible? What kind of country is Iraq? If Iraq is allowed to possess Standard-1 anti-aircraft missiles, what kind of military operations will Israel take? This is a very dangerous thing. As a Jew, it is absolutely impossible to see this happening.

Iraq's existing SAM air defense missiles do not pose much of a threat to modern fighters. Therefore, as long as Raytheon does not sell them anti-aircraft missiles, Israel will be a nightmare for Iraq.

However, Iraq is not without any means of counterattack now. They have several HH-01 Phantom stealth bombers produced by the Black Cloud Group. Raytheon has already launched relevant research and development on this, and I believe it is only a matter of time before it succeeds. As long as Israel has anti-aircraft missiles that can capture stealth fighter bombers, then Iraq will pose no threat.

Zebulon, who was thinking about his beautiful dreams, heard his subordinates report that the second son of Iraq came to the hotel where Raytheon Company was staying again. It seems that the other party is really anxious. After all, Iraq has just experienced a war; the weapons consumption is very high. The country does not have a military-industrial system, and it has lost confidence in Soviet goods.

Although I don’t plan to sell weapons and equipment to the opponent, I still enjoy humiliating them. It's a little annoying to see these rich people. If there was no oil, no one would really care about them.

Prince Sultan has been following the second young master, and he has to perform the whole drama. You must not reveal your identity at this time, otherwise how can you see the ugly face of the other party.

Zebulon is just arrogant. He can humiliate the second most powerful man in Iraq, but he would never dare to do this to the third most powerful man in Saudi Arabia. You must know that Saudi Arabia is Raytheon's most important customer in the Middle East; and no one can ignore Saudi Arabia's strength and potential in the world's arms purchase market. In addition, the United States’ national strategy also requires Saudi Arabia’s cooperation.

But people in the Middle East all wear a piece of cloth on their heads, which is the richest dress in the world. It was also the first time for Zebulon to lead a team, and he had only seen photos before; therefore, he was not specifically introduced, so he definitely didn’t know him.

When he came to the living room, this guy didn't even stand up. However, Prince Sultan and the Second Young Master didn't say anything about this, even when this guy cried.

The second young master said very politely: "Hello, Mr. Zebulon! It's the same thing as last time. This time Iraq is willing to show its utmost sincerity just to get the standard series of anti-aircraft missiles."

"If it is a standard-1 air defense missile, Iraq is willing to bid $100 per missile; if it is a standard-2 air defense missile, it is willing to bid $3 million per missile. At the same time, supporting facilities and auxiliary equipment; it also agrees to follow the official price of two Come and pay for the goods."

"At the same time, not only Iraq, but Saudi Arabia also intends to introduce standard series missiles. They will also be ordered at the same price and will never embarrass you."

"If we agree, Iraq and Saudi Arabia are willing to pay the entire price in one go; as long as your company can sell the missiles to us, money is not an issue."

The second young master is still very good at acting and speaks with great emotion. It can be said that he is just shy of Zebulun. But that's how negotiations are. The more humble you act, the more the other party will step on you.

Iraq's bid is absolutely ridiculously high. The official price of the Standard-1 missile is only US$250,000 each; as for the Standard-2 missile, the price is only US$700,000. It can be said that it is not just as simple as doubling, but with other auxiliary equipment, it is definitely a big order of more than 5 billion US dollars.

Moreover, Raytheon's profits are at least 3.5-4 billion US dollars; they are not so ruthless in grabbing money.

Zebulon said very domineeringly: "Second son, what are you thinking! Raytheon can't even sell you the Standard-1 missile, and now it wants to buy the Standard-2 missile. Don't think that we have a good relationship with Saudi Arabia. , we can put pressure on Raytheon together. Raytheon has the most advanced air defense missile system in the world, but I just won’t sell it to Arab countries.”

He was so arrogant that Prince Sultan wanted to go up and teach him a lesson. But the fun has just begun. If it is exposed now, it will not be fun at all.

Second Young Master: "Your Excellency Zebulun, we Arabs have not offended you! Today we purchase weapons and equipment with sincerity and cash. Although we cannot produce advanced weapons and equipment, we also want to protect the security of the country and the people. Anti-aircraft missiles It will only be deployed in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and Raytheon can send people to supervise it. If the price is not suitable, we are willing to increase the price."

This is quite frustrating to say. After all, as the second-largest figure in the country and the future successor, he has his own pride.

Zebulon smiled and said: "Second Young Master, what are you thinking! Raytheon Company's missiles just won't be sold to you Arabs. So what if you have money? How dare you snatch it from me. And even if you snatch it, you can't How about it, without the guidance of Raytheon engineers, can you Arabs use it!"

This statement contains serious discrimination and may cause huge conflicts. But Zebron felt very happy, and he wanted to trample the opponent hard under his feet.

Second Young Master: "Your Excellency Zebulon, I hope you will pay attention to your words. We Arabs never steal or rob. We come to Raytheon Company with sincerity and funds to buy weapons and equipment. Is it because of not selling us the standard series of missiles? Israel relationship.”

"As far as I know, Israel has not purchased the Standard series missiles, and it is not a major customer of Raytheon. If you don't make any money, why don't you ask the superiors for instructions. We are willing to show our utmost sincerity, as long as you are willing to sell It is not impossible to exchange missiles for oil fields."

Iraq is a major oil-producing country, and world oil prices continue to increase. Using missiles in exchange for oil fields is definitely a profitable business.

Zebulon was laughing very wildly, and it could be said that he was a little carried away now. After he stopped laughing, he said: "This is not a question of money, nor is it a question of the oil field. To put it bluntly, I just don't want to sell it to you."

"I have been chatting with you for so long just to make you beg me; and then I refuse. This is a very fulfilling thing, don't you think?"

No matter how good-tempered a person is, it is unbearable at this time, let alone a prominent figure in the country. But Prince Sultan and the Second Young Master said nothing, but left unwillingly.

Seeing that the second young master was so weak, Zebulun said with a smile: "Maybe next time, I will change my mind and let you get some favors."

The two of them didn't make any stop, but left directly.

At this time, a sales vice president of Raytheon Company said: "Mr. Zebulon, after all, the other party is the second most powerful person in Iraq and the future successor. And the sincerity shown by Iraq is enough; don't we really not think about it! Even if There is no need to humiliate the future leader of a sovereign country if we are unwilling to sell weapons and equipment to the other party."

"I will report this matter to the board of directors. Now I am notifying you in advance."

He had long disliked this second-in-command; he really couldn't understand why the board of directors would send a pig to Paris. Selling the Standard-1 anti-aircraft missile is in Raytheon's interests. And the most important thing is the sincerity shown by the Iraqi side, and people are sincerely buying it. They are even willing to pay the full price and exchange the oil field. Where can I find such a buyer?

Zebulon: "You have the right to report to the board of directors, but please pay attention to your identity; I am the person in charge of the Paris Air Show, and I have the final say on everything."

After saying that, he ignored the other party and went back to the room to rest. It felt great just now, at least that's how he felt.
