1037 Production and Cashing Out
"Why would the Federation sell this kind of aircraft directly to foreign military?"
After knowing the truth, Ambassador Gaevra has been thinking about this issue. He feels that there may be a traitor in the Federation.
If there were no traitors, they should hide these things and not let anyone touch it or touch it, rather than put it out for sale.
this is a good chance!
The ambassador walked back and forth a few steps, and then made a phone call back home.
It was just before noon, and the Prime Minister also came back from the palace. He was old and needed a lunch break.
In the summer, just lying on the chair in the office for a while would be enough, but now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is still wet and cold. If he lies on the chair in the office for a while, he will probably go to the hospital soon.
Back home, he lay on a warm bed. The heater and the thin but warm quilt made him extremely comfortable.
Just when he seemed to be sleeping, the phone rang suddenly, and his heart beat violently.
He frowned and held his chest. The discomfort slowly subsided after passing the sight.
He glanced at the still ringing phone next to him and picked it up. It was a call from the ambassador to the Federation.
After a moment, there was some confusion and surprise in his voice, "You mean, their Q-I bombers are willing to be sold to foreign military sales?"
The Prime Minister lifted the quilt and pulled the drawstring on the bedside. Soon the housekeeper came in with two maids.
The housekeeper stood at the door, instructing the two maids to change the Prime Minister's clothes. Ten minutes later, the Prime Minister had already changed into a set of clothes for work.
There are seven layers in total, which sounds like a lot, but in fact there are only two or three layers that are so thin that you can hardly feel the clothes.
It was some lining or blouse.
Although it is very thin, you still have to wear it.
During this process, the Prime Minister never put down the phone in his hand. "Ask the people on the other side who are responsible for these things. If possible... let's buy twenty planes first."
"As soon as we get these aircraft, we will immediately invest a lot of money in research. We should be able to imitate them soon."
"It can't hide its secrets in front of the imperial scientists!"
This is good news. The Prime Minister is still considering how to solve this problem these days. Gefra is full of people advocating the "bomber threat theory".
Even if scientists from the Royal Academy of Sciences assured the public on television that not only would the Federation not conduct bombings in Gefra, it would also be impossible to fly such a long distance from the Federation directly to the island of Gefra.
But the people just don’t believe it. More and more people are saying this, and more and more people believe it.
Well now, they can solve these problems.
Not only can you get the secrets of federal bombers, but you can also deploy a suitable defense system through targeted research.
The people will like this, and the Prime Minister is relieved, which is a good thing.
On the other side, some people have gone through some channels and learned about the causes, processes and results of some things.
In the federation, as long as you have money and are willing to spend it, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
Actually speaking, this matter is very simple. Someone wanted to stab Lynch in the back, and Lynch in turn persuaded the president and the Department of Defense to agree to sell his aircraft to foreign countries.
As for how he convinced the president and the Department of Defense, no one knows, but it doesn't matter.
What matters is how they bought these planes from Lynch!
Yes, the sales right is in Lynch's hands, not in the hands of the federal government. Lynch can sell to whomever he says. If he doesn't want to sell to others, then others can't fight for it.
So soon all kinds of phone calls came to Lynch, asking how to sell the aircraft.
"Of course we will wait until our production volume increases before selling!"
Walking in the new production workshop, Lynch looked at the workers on the assembly line and answered the chief engineer's stupid questions.
"In addition, our previous plans will continue to be promoted. Blackstone Aviation will be established soon. The flight research institute, patent management company, sales and after-sales service company, and here, will all become subsidiaries of Blackstone Aviation."
"I can give you 0.5% of the shares. If you want to leave the company, these shares will be transferred to the company's foundation for free."
An expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on the chief engineer's face. He didn't know the market value of Blackstone Aviation, a newly established company, but he believed it would definitely not be less, it would be a lot, a lot!
Just the previous military sales of aircraft to the Ministry of National Defense have already brought hundreds of millions of profits. If nothing unexpected happens, the market value of this company will be comparable to that of those old military industrial companies.
0.5 percent, that is, five thousandths, is it less?
For a company with a market value of only one million, it is really inconspicuous. Five thousandths is worth only five thousand yuan.
But for a large company whose market value may... no, will definitely exceed one billion, five thousandths means tens of millions, or even wealth calculated in hundreds of millions!
Of course, there is a premise here, that is, he cannot leave the company, otherwise he will give up these rights.
Why didn't Lynch give him dividend rights, but directly gave him equity that couldn't be freely distributed?
In fact, it is very simple. There are many reasons for a person to leave a company, such as his or her own reasons.
My health is not good, my ability cannot keep up with the company's development speed, or other companies have given me a higher price, etc.
But there are also some reasons that are third-party reasons, such as being fired from the company or being squeezed out by colleagues.
And there is another benefit to this approach. What is this benefit?
compete!
By squeezing out the chief engineer, five thousandths of the company's shares can be put into the company's funds. These funds are used to provide benefits. In other words, many people will stare at him as long as he slacks off in the slightest.
Even if it’s just for a day, someone will step up.
Capitalists rarely do business at a loss on a subjective level. The essence of any "reward" system is to oppress and exploit the value and labor of employees to a greater extent.
Some people feel that they are valued, just like the chief engineer at this time, then they will devote themselves to their work.
There is no need for Lynch to ask him to do that, he will be the first to come and the last to leave, because this is his responsibility and the best way for him to realize and reflect his self-worth!
The chief engineer reacted with a smile on his face, "Is it... too much?"
"If you want more, I can give you less." Lynch looked at the piles of machinery next to him without looking back.
There is no dissatisfaction on the faces of the workers. It is very rare to have a job at this time.
In some remote places, the unemployment rate is still as high as more than 10%. Only economic development centers such as Bupen have recovered faster.
Having a job means having income and a stable life.
Everyone is serious and careful, trying not to make mistakes.
The workers' unions have not held any strike demonstrations for a long time, because they also know very well.
If workers here go on strike, capitalists there can recruit more workers at lower prices, but workers will not obey their demands.
Forcibly launching a strike will only make people completely lose confidence in the workers' union.
But what these workers don’t know yet is that more humble days are yet to come, especially when some “robots” take away their jobs!
Mechanized assembly line production is not a new concept. Similar scenes have been described many times in the books of scientific masters.
A large number of robots work around the assembly line. Robots have replaced humans in the labor field. What factory owners have to do every day is to charge and refuel these robots.
These descriptions are regarded by many as an...impossible future, because until now, people have not believed that those electronic devices have the ability to think.
In fact, they have fallen into a misunderstanding. What assembly line work requires is not thinking, but a highly repetitive process. It does not involve thinking.
It's nothing that can't be fixed, some gear will do the trick.
"When can production be organized?" Lynch asked as he walked.
The chief engineer followed a few steps closer, "It will take about one to two weeks. We still need final debugging."
Lynch nodded, "Don't worry, we still need to negotiate the price. We have plenty of time."
Seeing that the workshop was coming to an end, Lynch stopped and said, "We must also hurry up on several other studies. I hope to hear the good news that you have made breakthrough progress at the end of the new year..."
Many people are curious about how Lynch convinced the Department of Defense and the President. After all, equipment of this level should not be sold externally. They don't know what Lynch did to make the President and the Department of Defense trust him so much.
Some people think that there is a transfer of interests here, while others think that this may be an international political conspiracy.
In fact, Lynch's method of persuading them was very simple.
"I can sell them planes, or I can shoot them down!"
After witnessing a secret aircraft battle, Lynch convinced the president and the Department of Defense with the facts.
But this news was not leaked to the outside world, and even those military industrial companies that were also researching aircraft did not know about it.
What Lynch and the chief engineer said is that there is research in this area.
New materials, new engine design, new appearance design...
Taking time out, Lynch also convened a meeting with the shareholders of Tomorrow's Light Investment Company. The content of the meeting was very simple. Chairman and major shareholder Lynch decided to invest in "Blackstone Airlines".
Naturally, no one has any objection to this. In the past two days, there has been news that Lynch's aircraft can be sold externally.
He has just received several hundred million in funding from the Ministry of National Defense, and now he can sell foreign military products. How much money will he make from this?
