Chapter 478 Hanmer Military Industry
The Stark Industry Expo is about to be held, and the Osborne Group will naturally receive an invitation. As the world's top company in biological and genetic engineering. The Osborn Group has been present at every Stark Industries Expo since Norman's day.
Since three months ago, the Osborne Group has been researching and arranging this important exhibition, preparing to present the company's most important products in order to gain enough news attention and product trading intentions.
Since Harry came to power, the center of the Osborne Group has started to optimize and reallocate resources from the three major projects of energy, biotechnology, and weapons.
Needless to say, energy projects, this aspect has not been eaten by the Stark Group at all. It doesn't matter how much money you need to invest in competing with them, and more importantly, even if you invest money, you may not be able to get a return.
Medical biotechnology is now the top priority of Osborne Group, and the whole company has made a more long-term planning and development around the limb regeneration plan.
Including the research of various medical bones, as well as more sophisticated nerve minimally invasive repair surgery with external experts. Relying on the integration of doctor's surgery + limb repair formula, many nerve injuries that were originally difficult to repair have been repaired.
And there are various other medical projects that focus on limb repair.
Although the cost of each operation and repair in the entire medical plan is quite expensive, there are still countless people who make appointments and wait in line for the operation of the Osborne Group.
After all, compared with permanent physical damage and disability, many people are willing to go bankrupt or even borrow money to make up medical expenses of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Now the relevant personnel of the Osborne Group are studying whether they can further reduce the cost and difficulty of the operation, and reduce the cost of the operation appropriately. This is not only beneficial to patients, but more importantly, after suppressing costs, the Osborne Group can spread their medical centers on a large scale around the world.
It can even replace the trauma department of traditional hospitals. If it can be done, this alone can bring innumerable profits to the Osborne Group.
After all, how many people in the world have trauma every day due to various accidents, and how many traumas are irreversible and permanent injuries to ordinary people.
In terms of weapons, because the Stark Group made a win-win replacement between their weapons channels and the Osborne Group's energy channels.
Osborn has gained a channel advantage in enough weapon resources. Unlike the arms dealers that most people understand, although the Osborne Group and the Stark Industries Group are both world-renowned arms dealers.
But their core business in arms has never been simply selling "weapons" that ordinary people understand: such as missiles, individual skeletons, new vehicles and the like.
The real big arms dealers sell a complete set of [integrated solutions]. Take, for example, the famous missile designed by Tony: the Jericho missile.
It seems that it is simply a missile with mass destruction, but in order to support the operation of this missile and achieve its maximum power, it itself requires a complete set of complex systems.
Including fire control integration, radar search, and related control computers and transport vehicles, etc. And these things are often a part of the entire product line.
The weapons of the Stark Group naturally use their own codes, and similar fire control systems can only achieve the best support for their own weapons.
And the price of this whole system is many times more expensive than a missile.
It can be said that this itself is a strict closed-source system, which is also a necessary means of self-protection in business.
However, under Li Jie's matchmaking, in the cooperation between the Osborne Group and the Stark Group, the Stark Group removed the right to use some of the old codes and handed it over to the Osborne Group.
This allowed the Osborne Corporation to produce weapons that were improved and compatible with the integrated systems produced by the Stark Corporation.
It was precisely because of the profit concessions made by the Stark Group that Harry could shut up all the old guys in the group. And mobilized the power of the Osborne Group to help the Stark Group withstand the pressure of new energy sales, and traded all the energy channels it had mastered. And withstood the request from Congress for steel armor.
Paying is rewarded, and this is an exchange of equal value.
With the code, the weapons produced by the Osborne Group will be compatible with other Stark Group-produced platforms in the previous military. This is a good thing for the military.
Because in addition to the Stark Group, the Osborne Group is also their important arms dealer. However, the systems of the two companies have always been incompatible. For the military, it is necessary to prepare two different teams. For logistics, weapons of the same type are not compatible. This simply makes their work more difficult!
And now the Osborne Group has integrated all of this, which makes other countries that have previously purchased Stark Group weapons turn to the Osborne Group.
Which naturally includes the US military. This made the weapons production department of the Osborne Group a lot of money. At the same time, because of the intervention of the Osborne Group, Tony has not promised the US military to manufacture war machines or armor such as the Iron Patriot at all.
Instead, the military focused on the Osborne Group, and the cost-compressed version [Elf Armor] made based on the Green Goblin Armor was more in line with the needs of the army for large-scale equipment.
After all, the army is a place that emphasizes collectivism. One or two superhero-like elites are not necessarily very popular with military generals. They prefer an obedient elite group.
This makes the life of Hanmer Military Industry, which has been eating dirt behind the Stark Group and the Osborne Group, even more difficult. They can't get involved in the big projects of the military, and the small projects don't make much money and are squeezed by other people.
And in this world, another Ivan Vanke, who manufactured the first-generation Ark reactor, did not join the banner of Hammer Military Industry, but joined Latvia.
This made Hanmer, the leader of the Hanmer military industry, almost gray hair. He is a scientist but loves money very much. He doesn't mind making a lot of money with things like weapons.
But this world will never compromise and change because of your subjective will.
"Albert, I said it. I will not sell my business! Impossible!" Hammer roared at the young man on the other end of the phone.
The other party was also an arms dealer, Albert Manstein, a twenty-five-year-old arms dealer. Apart from being born into a wealthy military family, Hammer didn't think there was anything commendable about this young man.
Anyway, Hammer sees everyone the same, even Tony Stark has the same evaluation in his eyes.
The Manstein family group produces various rapid-fire weapons and small arms companies, and their business does not overlap with the Osborn and Stark groups. It is even said that in many ways it is a subsidy of these two companies that focus on the production of heavy weapons.
This is the correct path, at least without confronting two super-large groups head-on. Hammer, on the other hand, has great ambitions but little ability. He has always wanted to establish a super large company like Stark Industries.
But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
The last crash of an offensive drone made for General Ross, as well as the heavy casualties of a modeled Iron Armor, put the entire company in a quandary.
The military has turned a large number of orders to the Osborne Group, and now, apart from buying some finished single-product weapons from him, it does not give him orders to manufacture those specialized complete weapon platforms.
This made him very frustrated. He always felt that he just lacked a platform and a springboard. As long as he had the right opportunity, he, Hammer, could also soar into the sky!
"Dingling~!" The phone rang again, and Hanmer grabbed the phone grumpily and shouted: "I said Albert! I won't..."
There was a slight laugh from the other end of the phone, which sounded a bit mocking him. It was a slightly old voice, obviously not from Albert.
"Mr. Hammer, I'm not the Albert you said." The voice was old-fashioned and full of majesty.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my temper." Hammer realized that this might be his client, so he immediately adjusted his tone: "So who are you?"
"A person who can help your company out of the predicament, at least someone who can make you shine at the Stark Industry Expo three months later." The other end of the phone said seriously.
"What?" Hammer felt that he might have encountered a liar.
And the person on the other end of the phone obviously guessed what Hammer was thinking, so he said: "Don't hang up in a hurry, Mr. Hammer, my people left some small gifts at your window. Make a decision. We'll be in touch when the time comes."
After saying this, the man hung up the phone first. This made Hammer somewhat inexplicable.
He glanced at the window outside his office, and there was actually an envelope pasted outside the twenty-story building. And this is probably the gift that person said.
PS: Hammer's timeline happened three months ago, when Li Jie and the others had just returned from Dongyang.
