Chapter 319 In our business, credibility is very important

"Mr. Fernandez, it's a great pleasure to meet you, I'm Kenneth," as soon as they met, Colonel Kenneth complimented Chen Geng fiercely: "I am very impressed by your hummer. ”

"Thank you," Chen Geng said humbly, "American soldiers are the bravest soldiers, and the bravest soldiers should have the best weapons." ”

"The bravest soldier deserves the best weapon?" said Colonel Kenneth, with a thumbs-up on his face, "and now I understand why I have been able to develop such a good product as Hummer." ”

"I can't say that," Chen Geng said modestly: "The main reason is that my company has a lot of retired veterans who fought in the Vietnam War. ”

"Oh?"

"During the development of HUMMER, these veterans gave our R&D department a lot of valuable experience and let us know what kind of car the army really needs......"

Colonel Kenneth subverted Chen Geng's impression of a soldier.

Because the officers he had contacted before were all domestic officers, everyone was more serious, but Colonel Kenneth was a very funny guy, and he was very good at chatting, and he was always able to find pleasant topics, such as the question of veterans, the defense departments of these automobile giants in the United States, which one does not have a large number of experienced veterans?

To put it mildly, the number of veterans in the hands of these auto giants is at least dozens of times that of Fernandez, not counting the production workers who work in the front-line production workshops and are just ordinary employees.

The same veterans, in the hands of your Fernandez company, they burst out several times the combat effectiveness, and in the hands of Ford Defense, Chrysler Defense, they became a pile of shit?

Just kidding!

But Colonel Kenneth just has the ability to chat with you very happily, but Colonel Kenneth took such great pains to chat with Chen Geng, obviously not to make Chen Geng happy......

"Mr. Fernández, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense at the beginning of the HMMV project team, the new generation of HMMMV needs to be developed into a total of 12 different types of deformation vehicles such as personnel and material transportation, light combat, anti-tank missile launch, anti-aircraft missile launch, command and communication, armor delivery and field ambulance on the basis of the basic type......

"It's me who understands. Chen Geng nodded.

"No, no, no," Colonel Kenneth waved his hand: "I mean, your HMMV prototype is very good, but these 12 variants for various purposes, I am more worried that you have no experience in this area and cannot submit the test vehicle ...... to the project test team as agreed in the contract."

Speaking of which, Colonel Kenneth seemed a little embarrassed: "The bigwigs of the Ministry of Defense are very concerned about the HMMV, and these 12 different types of deformation cars must be delivered to the project test group within 3 months. ”

The play meat is coming!

Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "So ......"

"Have you heard of Jotson Consulting?" asked Colonel Kenneth suddenly.

“......”

Chen Geng did not answer, but made a gesture to Colonel Kenneth to continue.

"Jotson Consulting is a long-established consulting firm that has a long-standing relationship with the Pentagon in the field of military equipment, especially auxiliary military equipment," said Colonel Kenneth, "During the modification of the M151A1 and M151A2, Jortson Consulting provided a large number of improvement suggestions to the manufacturer......

And sure enough, it was!

Capitalism's routine, if you are a little familiar with the way politicians in capitalist countries take advantage of it, you will find that every politician seems to be incorruptible, they almost never accept bribes, their own lives are average, the annual income of congressmen is hundreds of thousands of dollars (after 2010), it seems that they are really a group of people who are willing to give everything for the great cause of capitalism, but if you wait until they retire, you will find that they may earn millions of dollars for publishing a book, and they can get hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speech。

And if you dig deeper, you will find that behind all this, there will always be some so-called consulting companies or consulting companies, and these consulting companies or consulting companies must have contracted a lot of "consulting" services from the government department where the retired politician worked.

Chen Geng didn't know what the Jottson consulting company was about, and he didn't know what kind of interest transfer relationship existed between them and the Pentagon bigwigs, but he knew one thing very well: if the Jottson consulting company did not "provide" improvement suggestions for these 12 HMMVs, even if the 12 "hummer" improvements produced by Fernandez perfectly met the requirements of the HMMV project team, they could be singled out a lot of faults, and these 12 prototypes would definitely not be qualified.

As for the fees charged by Joterson Consulting......

........................

"No, no, no, Mr. Fernández, we don't charge for the improvement of these 12 HMMV variants. Faced with Chen Geng's question, Lao Jotson, the boss of Joterson Consulting Company, waved his hand and said to Chen Geng with a smile.

"No charge?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: Who are you fooling?

He knew very well that the so-called "no charge" of old Joterson was because the old guy was staring at bigger fat.

Chen Geng was not wrong at all!

"Of course there is no charge," two treacherous glances flashed in old Joterson's old fox-like eyes: "But if Fernandez gets an order from HMMV, we charge a 'consultant' fee of $300 for each car produced......"

Insatiable old fox!

The future U.S. military is equipped with about 86,000 HMMVs, 300 dollars per vehicle, and this "consulting fee" is 25.8 million US dollars, 25.8 million US dollars in the 80s.

"$300?" raised his eyebrows, and Chen Geng asked with a smile: "Mr. Jotson, aren't you afraid that your appetite will be too big to support yourself?"

"No, no," said old Joterson with a smile and a wave of his hand, "Mr. Fernandez, you are a young man, and you probably don't understand that this money is not just for me, in fact, this money will fall into the hands of many people." ”

Hold the grass!

This old guy is too direct, isn't he?

Chen Geng looked at him dumbfounded: You dare to say such a thing?

"Don't look at me so surprised," probably hasn't seen a "rookie" like Chen Geng for a long time, old Joterson was in an extremely happy mood, and even planned to teach Chen Geng a lesson: "Mr. Fernandez, judging from your surprised reaction, you must be shocked why I dared to say so directly when I met you for the first time, right?"

"That's right. ”

"What can't be said about this?" Old Joterson spread his hands and said to Chen Geng without hesitation: "This is the political ecology of the United States......

Officials also want to eat, they also want to live in beautiful big houses, and they also want to have a lot of money in their hands, but the current United States is not the United States in the twenties and thirties or even the last century, and the public's acceptance of official corruption is relatively low, so we have emerged as an intermediate bridge to coordinate the government and capital.

And most importantly, what if I told you? Is there any surveillance and listening equipment in this room? Or are you going to walk out of my office and talk to people about the damn politicians who are making a lot of money in this way? Come on, please! You're not that stupid, are you? If you dare to do that, you're going to be the enemy of all the capitalists and politicians, and you're going to be the public enemy of the group that really has the final say in the United States, and I don't believe that such a successful young man would do such a stupid and stupid thing. ”

Chen Geng smiled bitterly.

Indeed, if you dare to do this, you will definitely become the public enemy of everyone, and besides...... What's in it for you to speak out?

He shrugged, "Of course, how could I talk nonsense about such a thing? ”

He just sighed, lamenting that the officials of the seemingly incorruptible capitalist countries are unscrupulous to such an extent, which is really ...... I've lived for a long time, I've lived three lives, I've heard people talk about similar situations several times, but I'm ashamed to say it, this is really my first personal experience.

"That's right," old Joterson was very satisfied with Chen Geng's reaction and statement, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Fernandez, according to what I know, the Pentagon will probably replace 7 to 80,000 M151A1 and A151A2, which is a big order!"

Although our fees are a little higher, but I promise, this is definitely the market, we absolutely did not charge you a penny, you have to be clear, do our business, reputation is very important, bad market, we are the enemy of capital...... God, no one in this world wants to be the enemy of capital, that is simply the cruelest way to die in the world. ”

Chen Geng immediately smiled: "So...... Is this a quote?"

"That's right, that's the market. Old Joterson nodded affirmatively: "I and those guys in the Pentagon know very well how much profit you have for a car, and they will accurately calculate the production cost of an HMMV, and they will only take one percent." It's not just your business, it's Oshkosh, Ford, JEEP, Chrysler, ...... All business orders are like this, you see, there is a fixed percentage in this. ”

"Ishei, it's really fair. Chen Geng nodded.

"Of course, everybody wants this business to last a long time," said old Joterson with a more and more pleasant smile: "Mr. Fernandez, if you have no doubts, can you sign the contract?"

"Don't be in a hurry to sign," Chen Geng suddenly looked at old Jotson, and suddenly said with a smile: "What if I'm willing to give you 15%?"

"What did you say?"

The old Jotson, who just now thought that he had eaten Fernández Chen, a super rookie, heard Chen Geng's words, his hand shook, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground, looking at Chen Geng with a shocked face, that gaze was like looking at a madman.

It's no wonder that old Joterson has this kind of look at Chen Geng, because the ratio of "one percent" is a ratio reached after politicians and capital have been repeatedly entangled and tug-of-war over the years, capitalists can make a lot of money, and politicians can drink soup and gnaw bones after the capitalists...... Don't think it's nearly $26 million, but there are even more people who are eligible for a piece of the pie, how many? There are about 90 people.

Almost 90 people shared less than $26 million. The average person is less than $300,000, which is really not much, and don't forget, this kind of thing may only happen once in decades, but each person can only make more than $200,000, which is really not much from this point of view.

Of course, the big guys above may be able to part ways by millions, and the least may be divided into tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars, that's another matter, this kind of thing has been like this since ancient times, and there is nothing surprising about it.

But now it's different, Chen Geng actually took the initiative to say that he could increase this proportion by 50%, which means that taking the replacement of 80,000 HMMVs as an example, everyone originally shared 24 million US dollars, but now everyone shares 36 million US dollars, and the money shared by each person has jumped from about 250,000 US dollars to 400,000 US dollars...... That's a lot of money!

Old Jotson, who had never encountered such a situation, trembled: "Fernandez, don't be kidding......"

"I never joke with money," Chen Geng said with a smile: "And don't worry, I'm not trying to hurt the market, there's a reason why I'm willing to give 50% more." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Chen Geng say that he was conditionally giving 50% more, old Jotsen suddenly relieved his heart: "You say." ”

Conditional?

It's good if you have conditions, but I'm afraid you don't have conditions.
