Chapter 191 An Offer that Cannot Be Refused

"Mr. Rebir, in fact, I am not sure about our studio for the acquisition you proposed. I am worried that our current strength cannot meet your needs."

In the slightly simple reception room of the Trident Studio, Eugene Koch rubbed his hands with some fear.

It is more like a hall where the sundries have been temporarily cleaned up and tables and chairs have been placed than a reception room.

"You have also seen the current business scope and scale of our studio. It is mainly engaged in some modified parts business. There are only a dozen employees and only five integrated processing machines, so our daily shipment volume is not that large."

Eugene Koch pointed to some employees and machine tools working in the glass wall behind the hall.

Amber stood up and walked over in the direction he pointed.

The employees in the workshop are all older. Judging from the wounds and prostheses left on them, they are basically retired veterans.

Although the Federation has not experienced any major wars in the past few decades, small-scale counterinsurgency and local wars still occur from time to time.

This also leads to a large number of disabled people among the retired veterans in the army.

The veterans of Trident Studio are lucky because they have a place to work and support themselves.

But more veterans are still struggling to make ends meet.

Especially those veterans stationed in other star systems. When they return home after retirement, everything has changed.

In the end, many of them died of starvation or illness because they could not integrate into society.

And the five integrated processing machines are almost 20 years old, and their comprehensive performance has long lagged behind the current new machine tools.

But in such an environment, the orders for individual equipment modification parts of Trident Studio have basically never stopped.

And most of them are repeat customers.

Although the studio's delivery efficiency is slow, insufficient manpower and backward machines are only one of the reasons.

The more important thing is that Eugene Koch has extremely strict requirements for product quality.

Other studios allow some defects in their products to a certain extent. After all, they are small workshops, not shabby.

But Eugene Koch is different.

Every product produced by Trident Studio, even if there is a defect on a section of the guide rail, is directly turned into waste and then redone.

This almost paranoid business philosophy, in Amber's opinion, is probably the reason why this brother Eugene has not made much money in all these years.

But it is also because of this that the products of Trident Studio have a very good reputation in a small circle of some active military personnel and PMC mercenaries.

In addition, their prices are not too expensive, and they are truly good value for money, so orders have basically never stopped.

Well, I just didn't make much money.

While Amber was observing the situation in the studio workshop, Eugene Koch continued:

"Mr. Rebir, although I have posted a lot of design sketches about the exoskeleton system on some design websites, in fact, they are still in the design stage. Whether it is manpower or material resources, it cannot support our studio to develop the exoskeleton system on the ground."

"So I am here to solve this problem."

Amber, who had been watching the production in the workshop, turned around and looked at Eugene Koch and said:

"Excellent talent and talent should not be buried because of lack of money."

Hearing this, Eugene Koch was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly.

"Mr. Rebir, do you mean that you acquired our studio to support our research and development?"

"That's about it."

Amber took the initiative and made a gesture to invite Eugene to sit on the chair for a detailed chat.

This "craftsman" who had never engaged in business negotiations did not realize that he had lost the initiative, and sat back following Amber's gesture.

"Mr. Eugene, based on my understanding of your products, I know that your studio is a studio that pays great attention to quality. This coincides with me. I have always believed that these things used on the battlefield must be of acceptable quality. I don't want my soldiers to lose their lives in battle because of the quality of their weapons and equipment."

"You are right, our studio. Wait, did you just say your soldiers?"

Eugene, who was about to agree with a few words, suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with the content of his words.

"Oh~ You are very perceptive, Mr. Eugene."

Amber put on a smile on his face, hiding his expression of "successful evil plan", and then continued:

"Hehe. I forgot to tell you that my subordinates are actually a private military company with their own fleets, marines and HCP troops."

"Then why do you want to acquire our studio? I always thought that your company should also manufacture weapons and equipment?"

"Because I want to research and customize related land combat equipment for my troops, and I hope to have an industrial chain controlled by myself, so that I will not be restricted under special circumstances."

Eugene nodded. He probably understood what Amber meant, and he did have some interest.

Because if this is the case, the business of Trident Studio cannot be limited to the production of modified parts for weapons and equipment.

Instead, it will start research and development of all individual combat equipment.

After noticing that Eugene had begun to think, Amber immediately began to strike while the iron was hot.

"Remember what I told you, Mr. Eugene will definitely not be able to refuse the conditions I put forward?

First, after the acquisition is completed, I will fund your studio to carry out a small-scale industrial upgrade, so that in addition to producing small modified parts, you will also have the hardware conditions to produce and develop individual equipment and exoskeletons."

Eugene sat up immediately.

"Second, my mercenaries will become the best experimental force of your studio, and this force also has elites who retired from the federal army and have rich practical experience.

From now on, the individual equipment produced by Trident will be tested in actual combat at the fastest speed, and get feedback from the front-line troops to help you continuously optimize the product. "

Eugene's breathing began to become a little rapid.

"Third, Mr. Eugene may not know that the main force of the Marine Corps under our company is actually the Roma from the Thousand Star Empire. Yes, those legendary "half-orcs", they are tall and mighty, and their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary humans. They are natural killing machines.

And you, Mr. Eugene. You are likely to become the first person in history to customize combat equipment for the Roma. "

Eugene held the armrest of the chair tightly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"All I have said above depends on one thing, that is, whether Mr. Eugene accepts my acquisition of Trident Studio."

After saying all this in one breath, Amber relaxed and leaned back on the back of the chair, quietly waiting for Eugene Koch's reply.

Eugene took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Amber and asked the most critical question.

"Mr. Rebir, so many excellent conditions really make me very excited. So I only have one last question now, that is, after you acquire our Trident, what exactly does our studio need to do for you? "
