Chapter 839 Joint Press Conference 3
Jennifer did not expect that Bao Zixuan would not follow common sense and dare to give up the benefits that were easily available to him. Let General Dynamics take over directly, which is great news. If you are a young vase reporter, you are probably lost or at a loss.
But after all, Jennifer is experienced in many battles and can be considered a well-known reporter. I have interviewed many international political figures and I know that these people will not target without aim. Bao Zixuan must be absolutely sure if he dares to say this.
Although I am a journalist, I do not know the specific situation of the parent company General Dynamics. But we also know that General Dynamics has some advantages in aircraft, and General Dynamics is not involved in the automotive industry at all. This time it is 300,000 retired military vehicles, and the parent company does not dare to take it even if it is strong. After all, General Dynamics does not have the luxury to buy back a pile of scrap metal.
He cannot show weakness at this time, and he knows how to use his own advantages.
Jennifer: "Mr. Bao is joking, I'm just a reporter. I don't know what decisions General Dynamics' senior management will make, and I don't have the ability to meet directly with the group's senior management. So I'm sorry that I can't pass on what you want to express to the group's senior management."
"But as a reporter, I can report on TV media. And there are many newspaper reporters here. I believe they will be willing to help you deliver the news."
This woman is playing word games and wants to pluck herself out. According to media reports, it is difficult to say whether General Dynamics' top executives knew about it. Even if they knew, they could say they didn't know. This will not make people laugh or look down on him. In short, no one dares to catch the ball kicked by Bao Zixuan easily.
If you really dare to speak boldly, tell the world that you can contact the top management of General Dynamics. What if the group doesn't accept the offer? Will it be looked down upon by all Americans?
No one expected that Bao Zixuan acted completely out of common sense, but it caught the reporters off guard.
After all, General Dynamics is the most well-known company in the United States, and it has a close relationship with the Department of Defense. Let Heiyun Group take over decommissioned military vehicles because of the alliance of several major car companies. We cannot let reporters ruin it at this time.
Ian Wright knows that it may be more beneficial to the Ministry of Defense if no company dares to take over. However, many things cannot be made too obvious, let alone offend all major American companies.
Be sure to change the topic, at least not to let the reporter lead the topic into a behind-the-scenes operation. No American car company dares to take the initiative. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to cry. As Bao Zixuan said, the US military also believes that three billion US dollars is not a lot of money. But don’t dare waste it, especially when it’s so readily available. It's a crime against taxpayers to give it away.
Ian Wright: "I would like to emphasize one point here. All the procedures regarding the sale of decommissioned weapons and equipment by the Ministry of National Defense to Heiyun Group are reasonable and legal; there are no violations at all. The quotation given by Heiyun Group is very reasonable, even Far exceeded expectations.”
"Therefore, I would also like to ask my friends from the press to ask some other questions. As for the entire process of selling decommissioned weapons and equipment, the Ministry of National Defense will announce the situation in writing, so everyone can rest assured."
Reporters are not stupid, and the Ministry of National Defense does not want to mention it. If you pursue them relentlessly, you will offend someone. It's a trivial matter to ignore you, but it's very possible to kick you out. This is the Department of Defense of the United States, not a small business left to be exploited.
CBS Radio and Television Company has many contacts with the Department of Defense, so it certainly knows what General Ian Wright means.
After receiving a signal from Ian Wright, the CBS reporter stood up and said: "Hello, Minister Weinberg, Mr. Bao Zixuan! I am CBS reporter Edvor, and I would like to ask the Department of Defense about the sale of the United States to the Black Cloud Group this time. Is there any risk of leaking secrets when retiring weapons and equipment? You must know that even if they are retired, many technologies are still leading the world."
This is a good question, at least it can answer the public’s doubts. At this time, the United States is at its peak in the field of science and technology. If the sale of weapons and equipment leaks technical secrets, it will be a huge loss for the United States.
Caspar Weinberg smiled and said: "First of all, thank you reporter Edvor for raising the question, which at least proves that you care about the country. However, there is no risk of leaking secrets at all, at least not for this arms sale."
"Most military vehicles are produced by Jeep, and Heiyun Group has already had relevant technical reserves. Naval ships are all small warships, and many of them were produced during World War II. The technology has been completely updated. The warships currently in service in the United States are at least ahead of others. More than 15 years.”
"The U.S. military has more advanced helicopters. These aircraft, which were produced and served during the Vietnam War, no longer have any technical advantages."
"It's just a process of upgrading. After being sold to Heiyun Group, these weapons and equipment will no longer appear in the U.S. military. Even though the appearance is similar, there are major technological innovations inside."
Casper Weinberg's answer satisfied the reporters at the scene. It turned out that they were all junk products. After all, the warships during World War II were older than them. How could they let the brave and fearless American soldiers fight with these weapons? That would be irresponsible for people's lives.
It is good to sell it to Heiyun Group now, at least it can achieve waste utilization.
Everyone still needs to know what Bao Zixuan said. The strength of Heiyun Group cannot be underestimated. If it improves on this basis, it will easily pose a threat to the United States.
So the CBS reporter continued to ask: "Mr. Bao, Heiyun Group has deep technical reserves. You are a top student at MIT and have a fanatical pursuit of high technology. Will you develop new weapons and equipment based on these? And then achieve the purpose of upgrading.”
Although the question was asked tactfully, anyone with a discerning eye could hear it. This is to test the trump card of Bao Zixuan and the entire Heiyun Group; if Bao Zixuan admits it, it means he has great ambitions. If you dare not admit it and study it secretly, it is a matter of character. In short, no answer is correct. It can be said that it is difficult to get off the tiger.
Mr. Bao didn't care about you, and said seriously: "When buying weapons and equipment, you must do careful research. Otherwise, how can you sell them? After all, many of the core components have been removed."
"I am a businessman. When I buy a product, I must sell it at a high price. It is normal to repackage the product. After all, I cannot give customers products with poor experience and performance. This is not the style of Heiyun Group, let alone my Bao Zixuan style. Business style.”
"Heiyun Group is mainly focused on industry, and this direction will never change. Every year, a large amount of money is invested in research and development. I hope you won't make a fuss."
"Is it possible that only so-called great companies are allowed to engage in research and development, and Heiyun Group can't do anything. It seems that there is no such truth in the world. If this is the case, how can we talk about human technological progress?"
Although he had already guessed it, when Bao Zixuan said it. It still feels awkward, after all, this is research and development on US military weapons and equipment.
But you can't find anything wrong with it, so why don't you let people buy it back and dispose of it as scrap metal? What's the difference between that and open robbery? At this time, Americans don't dare to be so unscrupulous.
Yin En-Wright knew that he had to start smoothing things over again. This is his job today. It is impossible for Casper Weinberger, the Secretary of Defense, to do everything personally. That is a serious dereliction of duty at work, and it will be difficult for others to give you a chance in the future.
Ian Wright: "The military has dismantled some core components of decommissioned weapons and equipment, including communication security equipment. The risk of leaks is almost zero. As for the Black Cloud Group using other new equipment to make up for it, the Ministry of Defense has no right to interfere. .”
"The United States is a country that values intellectual property rights and will never hinder the development of new technologies."
It is heard that core components and communication equipment have been dismantled. American reporters were not that worried. Instead, they felt that Bao Zixuan didn’t know the bounds of the world, or that he was stupid and had too much money.
After dismantling core components and communication equipment, how can the Heiyun Group alone fill the technical gap? The difficulty can be imagined. No wonder major American companies are unwilling to take over.
It was destined to be a loss-making business, and everyone was just looking at the joke with a sense of luck.
Most well-known media have two characteristics; first, they exist in the form of a group, which means that the parent company controls many newspapers, television stations and other media; for example, Murdoch's News Corporation. There is another type that is supported by large enterprises; for example, NBC, General Dynamics is its parent company.
The development and growth of Heiyun Group has harmed the interests of many companies and individuals. Now that they see that Bao Zixuan may be in trouble, these American reporters are so happy that they set off firecrackers.
The myth that Bao Zixuan has never done a loss-making business may be about to be shattered. This is really not easy, how can it not be exciting. Media reporters don’t want the world to be too peaceful; the more chaotic the world is and the more companies suffer huge losses, the better for them.
