Chapter 539: We Fought with a Group of People [Second Update]
Norton nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and it took a while for it to become normal, and he took a sip of tea from his teacup.
"Xu, the general improvement of social technology is not so simple, your plan may fail" Norton looked at Xu Ping'an and said.
Xu Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and made an indifferent expression, "It depends on what other companies do, they all have a new generation of products, and if they don't want to put them into the market, they can keep them."
"Maybe they will be forced by the market to accelerate their investment at that time"
"The elder DuPont is right, the international market is becoming more and more competitive, but the number of jobs is decreasing, and I am aware of this, which is not a big loss for me."
"It's a big deal that I'm going to lay off people, what's more, I've already planned that at the end of this year, some of Tianqi Group's products will kick off the price reduction curtain and carry out full popularization"
"When the time comes, the market will force you to make all kinds of changes, and I don't know how to change, so I'm slowly optimistic."
Norton listened to Xu Ping'an's words for a moment, reacted quickly, and asked directly, "You don't plan to reduce the price of a solo aircraft, do you?"
"Of course, the time has come for the one-man aircraft to be reduced in price, and it has been on the market for more than a year, and what should have been bought has been bought, and what has not been bought is unaffordable"
"According to statistics, dealers have also begun to appear in inventory, the sales rate has begun to decline, and it is time to reduce prices.
"You're really not going to give us a way to live," Norton said with a dark face.
There are all single-person aircraft, who the still flies, the airline business is not good, who will buy the plane, one ring after another, it will form a very serious chain reaction.
"It's not that I don't give, but the market decides, this is the general trend, consumers decide your industry to survive, you won't know this truth."
"Norton, change, the market needs a new generation of aircraft, I don't believe you Airbus will not be prepared for this, if not before"
"When the one-man flying machine comes out, you will definitely have plans for this," Xu Ping'an said with great certainty.
"We will definitely have a plan, the plan is not a reality, the new generation of aircraft will take time, it will take time to develop it," Norton said very unhappily.
"You have enough time, the price reduction on my side will not be reduced a lot, step by step, in a short period of time, the plane is still the first choice for people to travel long distances"
"The impact of a one-man aircraft on you is not very big, but the impact on the automobile industry is terrible."
"I read a report, many car groups have canceled the luxury car plan, and it is better to buy a luxury car with more money to buy a one-person flying machine"
"The great industrial change and upgrading have begun, and all those who fall behind will be eliminated," Xu Ping'an said with great certainty.
"The world's population is increasing, but jobs are decreasing, how will the people of the future live?" Norton lamented.
Xu Ping'an nodded and acknowledged Norton's opinion, "Norton, go back and increase research and development, social changes are really accelerating."
The two chatted for a while, Norton said goodbye, and after Xu Ping'an sent Norton to the car, he returned and sat on the sofa alone to think about things.
Time passed slowly, the next day, Xu Ping'an took the car to attend the party as scheduled, today, Norton spoke, agreeing with Xu Ping'an yesterday to say, comprehensively improve social technology.
Airbus will soon announce that it will increase its investment in space programs and conclude with the phrase that the future of mankind is in space.
Next, a few more bigwigs spoke, similar to Norton's meaning, of course, there were also people who were inclined to form alliances, and this time the two concepts were very opposed.
However, it is clear to everyone that forming an alliance is out of the question.
There is no restriction on the development of science and technology, there is no need for the alliance to be established, let's see, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and the idea of increasing resource reserves is basically recognized by everyone.
Today is a big lunch at noon, not a barbecue, because today is the last day of the party, and you must eat and drink well, which can be regarded as a practice for everyone.
Xu Ping'an also made arrangements to leave Panama early tomorrow morning and go to Colombia to see how Zhou Xun's archaeology was going.
Some time ago, Zhou Xun sent an email, which contained a photo, which was a broken metal with a pattern very similar to the Golden Star Scroll.
Waltz has produced a special alloy material, and is currently carving patterns, saying that the pattern is actually a formation pattern, knowing that it has no effect, Xu Ping'an will do it.
Laser engraving, very accurate, the first set has been engraved and is currently on its way to J City, and the rest will be completed one after another and shipped to various places.
Talking and laughing, it is very easy, Xu Ping'an has exchanged business cards with many people, although there is no cooperation now, maybe when it will be cooperated, and it will not be a loss to get to know each other.
In the evening, Norton came to Xu Ping'an again, and discussed with Xu Ping'an for about two hours before leaving, sending Norton away, Xu Ping'an frowned and thought for a long time.
Early the next morning, after Xu Ping'an finished exercising and had breakfast, he took people straight to the airport and flew directly to Bogota, Colombia by his air palace.
After getting off the plane, four people were left to guard the plane, while the rest left Bogotá in two of their own helicopters and headed straight for the area where the Botanical Institute was located.
Zhou Xun, the head of the archaeological team, Pierre, the newly appointed security captain, and Zhou Haichuan, the head of the branch of the Institute of Botany, were waiting not far from the tarmac, talking to each other.
Not far away, there is a huge warehouse lid that covers the entire archaeological area, where there is a lot of rain, and this extensive canopy must be completed before the work can begin.
The security is very tight, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, all for the sake of secrecy, because Zhou Xun's archaeology has been harvested, and at present, two batches of goods have been secretly transported, both of which are found items.
Brassware, bronze, stone carving, gold, jewelry, ceramics, everything, Zhou Xun led the people to really find the temple, and it is only the periphery of the temple at present, but these harvests have already made people look sideways.
These gains are only known to the security department and the archaeological team, and the people of the Botanical Research Institute do not know what is going on at all, and no one is allowed to enter the archaeological area except for the free entry and exit of the archaeological team.
The helicopter landed slowly, and when the speed of the propeller decreased, Xu Ping'an got off the helicopter, quickly ran into the distance, shook hands with Zhou Xun and the others, and walked towards the camp on the side together.
Three small buildings have been built here, one for the people of the Botanical Research Institute, one for the security department, the other for the first and second floors of the archaeological team, and the third for public use.
What's more, Xu Ping'an's office is set up on the third floor.
Xu Ping'an made a pot of tea, and first listened to the report of Zhou Haichuan, the head of the branch of the Institute of Botany, and the results were very good, which can be said to be unexpected.
In this primeval forest, thirty-nine species of plants with medicinal properties have been discovered, and seventeen species have been sent back to the Celestial Empire Botanical Research Institute, and these varieties will be biologically cultivated.
Twenty-five new strains have also been discovered, samples have been sent to the National Assembly for research, and some simple plant strain studies and ecosystem studies are also being carried out here.
After the report, Zhou Haichuan left with a very good look, knowing very well that the president did not come to see the results of his botanical research institute, but for the archaeological team.
"Let's talk about it, what are the gains so far," Xu Ping'an asked after taking a sip of tea.
Pierre, the new security captain, spoke first, "Boss, we fought with a bunch of people."
Xu Ping'an was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is the other party?"
"Boss, I analyzed that the other party should be a group of drug traffickers, after the establishment of the botanical research institute on our side, no one is allowed to enter or leave, which aroused their curiosity"
"At first, they just sent a few people to break in to investigate, and after we caught them, they were directly executed, and three days ago they gathered almost a hundred people with big guys to raid us"
"We were directly beaten away, I reported to General Manager Buck at that time, reinforcements should arrive today, General Manager Buck means that since they are with us, they will uproot each other"
"The local police came to take a look, arranged for a vehicle to take away the body, didn't say anything, apparently they knew what was going on"
"After General Manager Buck contacted Attorney Bruce, we were notified yesterday that we could purchase two gunships from the authorities for defense."
"We took a look at the model, and we didn't want the old-fashioned gunship, so let Lawyer Bruce contact us, and we procure the new gunship from ourselves."
"According to the news from Bruce's lawyer in the morning, there is a condition that we can purchase it ourselves, but the two gunships will have to cooperate with the official operation three times a year"
"General Manager Buck said that the boss will come over today, let us report truthfully, and ask the boss to make a ruling" Pierre reported truthfully.
"How many casualties have we suffered," Xu Ping'an asked with a calm face.
"Nineteen killed, thirty-seven casualties" Pierre directly said the loss, and Zhou Xun was taken aback.
"How many people did Buck send you, and who the attackers were and who the mastermind was?" Xu Ping'an continued to ask.
Pierre said directly, "There are 100 support personnel, and the attacker is a big local drug lord named Morasaya, and there is an armed force of more than 300 people under his command."
Xu Ping'an thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and began to dial, and soon, the phone was connected, and the voice of "boss" Bruce came.
"Bruce, you know the identity of the attacker, ask the Colombian official to see if the other party belongs to the cleanup list"
"If so, contact them, and we will cooperate in the cleanup" Xu Ping'an said calmly, and Zhou Xun next to him was startled.
"The boss is waiting for me to hear from me, soon, I'll be here in the Bogotá city government, and there will be news soon," Bruce said directly.
Xu Ping'an nodded, "By the way, you tell them that we can donate a sum of money to the government, you can control it freely, and maximize the benefits"
"I promised to use a three-layer helicopter gunship every year, and I will purchase it as soon as possible, and it is best to get the government's authorization, so that we can retaliate openly."
