Chapter 1340 The Different Mentality of the Soviet Union

At this time, none of the directors, including Lance Marshall, thought that the old guy would resign directly. As the saying goes, killing can only be done with a nod of the head. People are already like this, so you can't go too far. This is a move to retreat and leave the mess directly to Lance Marshall. Arabs are very temperamental. Now that they are so humiliated by Raytheon managers, how can they just let it go?

Moreover, this time it involves the absolute top leaders and future heads of state of the two most powerful countries in the Arab world. If it cannot satisfy the other party, Raytheon may say goodbye to the Middle East market! Although the U.S. military's internal procurement is sufficient, it is almost impossible to earn high profits. Therefore, no military industry company can ignore such a large player in the Middle East!

At this time, everyone looked at Lance Marshall to see what this guy said. Although it was exciting to see little Zebulon harming the interests of the company, when it came to the struggle for power between the two largest shareholders, no one wanted to get involved. Now is not the time to take sides. It is not that easy for the Marshall family to truly obtain business management rights.

I didn't expect that the old boy would resign directly, leave his job, and become a bachelor here. But now everyone is watching, and even if they know it is a trap, they still have to move forward. The Marshall family must first obtain management rights of the company, otherwise there will be no chance at all in the future.

The Jewish consortium accounts for an increasing proportion of Raytheon Company, and a good balance can be maintained now; who can say for sure in the future! With the economic strength of the Jews, if this continues, the company's management power will definitely be controlled by them. Then Raytheon Company will completely change its flavor, and it will not be surprising if these people do anything crazy.

You only get one chance, and it's right in front of you. Lance Marshall said directly without any hesitation: "Logically speaking, it's not my turn at all, but now the company is facing a crisis; as the founding family of Thor, we must shoulder a responsibility."

"First of all, we need to go directly to Paris to understand the specific situation, and then communicate well with the high-level officials of the two countries in the Middle East. Even if we cannot reach a cooperation agreement, at least our attitude must be correct, and at least let customers feel it. This kind of thing will never happen in the future. will happen!"

"The United States is not alone in the international weapons and equipment market. The Soviet Union, France, and the Black Cloud Group are all rising. If Raytheon is thinking that I have the best technology in the world, it will be eliminated by the market sooner or later."

Even if you don’t say it, everyone knows it! It can be said that although it is nonsense, there is still some truth; at least it will not go wrong.

Since this kid is willing to take the responsibility. The other directors didn't say anything, and since Seabron had resigned, it was understandable to let Lance Marshall take over.

In less than two hours, Lance Marshall successfully took over as chairman; he felt incredible and at the same time felt a heavy responsibility.

After getting the absolute authorization from the company, I took an expert flight to Paris that night.

As of this time, the Soviet delegation was holding an emergency meeting. Now is not the time to celebrate, after all, the exhibition is not over yet; for subordinates and senior management to fully recognize their abilities, it still depends on their subsequent performance.

Through the order, the subordinates have absolutely obeyed at this time. Don't dare to disobey any orders. The most representative one is undoubtedly the chief engineer of the Soviet Diamond Design Bureau. He witnessed with his own eyes the negotiations between the head of the General Armaments Department, Ustinov Jr., and the Arabs. For such a high price, I never expected it.

Although the sales of Soviet weapons were not bad before, the profits were not high. Now that the equipment minister is replaced, the situation will change immediately; that is to say, it is not that they are technically incompetent, but that the previous leadership was incompetent.

Little Uskinov stood up and said: "Hello, fellow engineers! I am Uskinov, the director of the General Armament Department. Everyone was familiar with this surname before because of my uncle. But now the General Armament Department of the Soviet Union, I'm the one leading the charge."

"First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone. Due to the system, I can't give you too many rewards. But I can only promise that I will do my best to fight for everyone's benefits and treatment!"

"The S-300 air defense missile system designed by the principal engineer of the Diamond Design Bureau this time can bring more than 10 billion US dollars in net profits to the Soviet Union; if calculated according to the execution plans of European and American countries, the principal chief engineer can at least get $300 million prize."

"But now, I can only give you a bonus of 10 million rubles; and it will be shared among all the staff of the Diamond Design Bureau. I would like to apologize to the principal engineer for this. This is because I, the head of the General Armament Department, am incompetent and did not give you any money." Fight for the rights you deserve!”

"But I can assure you, or the engineers of the Diamond Design Bureau who went to the Middle East this time. Their daily subsidy in the Middle East is 500 US dollars, which is borne by Saudi Arabia and Iraq; all profits belong to themselves; no one can Don’t take anything by force!”

I heard that this young head of the General Armament Department was actually able to win a bonus of 10 million rubles for them. All Diamond Design Bureau engineers are very satisfied, and so is the principal. The dedication of Soviet engineers in this era is absolutely commendable. Moreover, the ruble is very strong at this time; the official exchange rate is even higher than the US dollar.

Everyone can get a bonus of more than 10,000 rubles, what else can they not be satisfied with? Moreover, in the past, by training Arabs in the Middle East, one could earn US$500 a day, which was something that was unimaginable before. At this time, little Ustinov has been recognized by everyone, at least he treats his subordinates; there is nothing wrong with him at all.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ustinov Jr. continued: "Of course, we have to thank Chief Engineer Alexei Tupolev. Without his Tu-22M bomber, we would not have been able to defeat the Americans. I can tell you responsibly that every order you get is based on the excellent performance of the weapons. It is definitely not that the Americans gave up, we picked up and got it!"

"It's just that because of the international situation and to confuse opponents, a lot of information needs to be kept secret. It's not that I don't believe that everyone is loyal to the Soviet Union, but you are all senior engineers; your battlefields are in research and development workshops and laboratories. As for intelligence issues, it's still It’s better to leave it to the KGB!”

"The Tu-22M bomber fighter can bring a lot of profits to the Soviet Union. As for how much it is now, we can't calculate it. Because today alone, there are military representatives from more than ten countries coming to the Soviet booth for consultation. So I can To be honest, your bonus will definitely not be less than that of the engineers from the Diamond Design Bureau."

Alexey Andreevich Tupolev is the son of Technical Admiral Andrei Tupolev, the founder of the Soviet aviation industry. Influenced by his family, he has been interested in aviation since he was a child.

This technical master was admitted to the Moscow Aviation Institute with honors after graduating from high school. After graduating in 1949, he entered the Tupolev Design Bureau and began his career as an aviation designer under the guidance of his father.

In 1957, Alexey served as director of the Supersonic Aircraft Research Office of the Tupolev Aviation Design Bureau and began to independently undertake design tasks. It has successively developed civilian passenger aircraft such as "Tu-104", "Tu-114", "Tu-124", "Tu-134" and "Tu-204". In the late 1960s, he presided over the design of the world's first supersonic passenger aircraft "Tu-144" that could cruise at twice the speed of sound. It successfully flew on December 31, 1968, 3 years earlier than the first flight of the Concorde supersonic passenger aircraft developed by Britain and France. months. Later, he led the development of various types of Tushi military and civilian aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, including the "Tu-154" and "Tu-22M" strategic bombers that use cryogenic fuel.

I am a hero and my son is a good man, which probably describes Tupolev and his son. The old man still has no objections to the sale of the Tu-22m Backfire bomber. As a descendant of two generations of father and son, no one knows better than him what it means to design an excellent aircraft.

Previously, the Tupolev Design Bureau had made a lot of money just by being responsible for producing the Tu-204 aircraft body for the Heiyun Group. But then again, aircraft with the same appearance as those produced by the Heiyun Group cannot be sold if the Soviet Union produces them. The Heiyun Group is not only more expensive, but also more popular in the market. It's definitely not as simple as replacing an engine. It has a lot to do with the company's popularity.

Therefore, the old man attaches great importance to this design bureau named after his family name. After all, this is a kind of inheritance.

Ustinov did not dare to underestimate the aircraft designed by Alexei Tupolev himself. Therefore, we can only use confidentiality as an excuse to make the old man feel better.

If the old man knew that the aircraft he designed had not made as much money as an anti-aircraft missile, I don’t know what he would think!

It's a bit late today. I just drank about a pound of liquor with my client. I'm very sorry!
