Chapter 628: Compromise
What Cora said, William actually knew, but he didn't want to do it before, but life will make people grow up, and William now knows that sometimes people have to compromise when facing reality.
"Then there is really no hope for my combat equipment?" William still wanted to fight for it, after all, it cost more than 100 million dollars.
"It's not that there's no hope!" replied Cora. "Unless there's someone who can break the rules and help you break the rules. ”
Only the people who make the rules can break the rules, but the problem is that the people who make the rules are usually less likely to break the rules.
"Is my father okay?" asked William. He would go home if he could.
"Of course old Mr. Stillman can, but he won't help you!" Cora said affirmatively, looking at William.
"Why?" asked William.
"The fifth-generation aircraft was handed over to your family for research and development, this is a list of thousands or even trillions of dollars, your family has obtained such an order, it is impossible for other families not to be jealous, at this time, if your father breaks the rules for you, what do you think will happen to other families?"
When William heard Cora's words, he immediately understood the key, the Stillman family is now in the limelight, and if they blatantly break the rules and fall into the hands of others, they are likely to be attacked by other major families.
"Is there anyone else?"
"If you really want to try, there's only one person who can help you?"
"Who?"
"Shaozun!"
"Do you need to alarm him?"
William felt it was ridiculous to go to Morgan's house to find John for a contract. The point is that the Morgan family is not something he can go to when he wants, and John is not something he can see when he wants.
"Other families won't break the rules for you, only Shaozun can break the rules for you.
Shaozun is a well-known pragmatist in the circle, plus his status and identity and prestige, so no one will attack him when he breaks the rules, but the premise is that your things must be visible to him, otherwise he has no affection to talk about, he doesn't care which big family you are, even if Charles he doesn't give face. ”
John's reputation is well-known in the upper circles, because he has never used his power for personal gain, on the contrary, for the sake of the national interest, he has also hurt many interests of his own family, reducing the purchase of weapons, The most serious loss of these things is the Morgan family, the arms chief, but John still did it, the Ministry of Defense is corrupt, many members of the Morgan group were still killed by John, Staunton developed, he didn't eat alone, everyone has equal interests, so everyone knows who he is, and they are willing to give him face, and he is still the head of the Southern government, the head of the alliance, and people with a little normal head will not trouble him, except for Charles, of course.
After dinner, Cora and William left the dining room, and as they parted, William stood in front of Cora's car window and whispered a word.
"I'll give this silver coin to the auction house for auction!" nodded to Cora and turned to leave.
Cora looked at William's back and smiled, closed the window, and told the driver to drive away.
The next day, William handed over the silver coin to Sotheby's to the auction company to entrust the auction, and he did not lack the millions of dollars, but he just wanted to thank Cora for the allocation.
However, Cora didn't go to the auction, and she didn't let anyone auction it on her behalf, and it was true that she liked the silver coin, but William wouldn't ask for it if she touched it, even if it was through normal channels and in line with all Department of Defense officials.
Of course, if this silver coin appears at auction next time, then she will participate in the bidding, but this kind of thing is hard to find, and people can probably encounter such a thing once or twice in their lives.
After William went back, he carefully considered Cora's words, compromise is a process of growth that people must go through, no road in the world is completely straight, even airplanes sometimes have to fly in a curve, so in the end William compromised, because if he did not compromise, he would have no way out, and all ideals and ambitions would become utopian.
Some people are compromising for the sake of their families.
Some people compromise for the sake of ambition.
Still others are for money, status, ideals, and ambitions.
Whatever the reason, there is no one in this world who has not experienced compromise!
So it's not a shame to compromise because everyone has to grow!
William chose to compromise and returned home, where he had a heart-to-heart conversation with Hyde Stillman, and after the exchange, William's Blue Whale factory became an independent research and development company of the Boeing Group.
"Father, did you already know the result?"
William asked suddenly as he was about to leave Hyde Stillman's study.
Hyde Stillman nodded at William's words.
"Then why are you backing me with a billion dollars?"
"Because you're my son!"
William bowed to Hyde Stillman, turned and gently closed the door and left the study.
Walking out of the study, William saw Micro Blue Stillman in the garden, and then walked over and came to Wei Lan Stillman to say hello.
"Sister, what's the lunch break!"
"William, I thought you wouldn't come and greet me!"
Tiny Blue Stillman replied with her eyes closed.
"Why, you're my sister. William said.
Hearing William's words, Microblue Stillman opened his eyes and looked at William, sighing.
"Growing up, it seems that there is still something to gain from going out this time, at least sensible, or the outside world can make people grow!" Weilan Stillman pointed to the chair next to William to sit down.
"What's the matter with going home today to find my father!"
"My father and I discussed merging our Blue Whale factory into Boeing and becoming an independent R&D facility. ”
"That's fine, you're not fit for business, and the lab is better for you. ”
"That's what I thought, too. ”
"The combat uniforms that have been developed should not have been developed! The family will not give up a trillion-dollar contract for $100 million, and sometimes it is not possible to have the best of both worlds. ”
"I want to go to JK, a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I'm fighting for it. ”
"He won't help you unless he can look at the combat suit you've developed. ”
"I have confidence in the combat suit I have developed!"
"If you have the confidence, let's try it!"
Micro Blue Stillman looked at William with confidence and thought about it. "I'm going to Morgan's house tomorrow, you can go with me, but don't expect me to speak for you, I'm only responsible for taking you in and letting JK see you, as for whether JK can finally open the back door for you, it's your business!"
"Well, as long as you let me see JK, I'll do the rest myself. ”
Although William is a member of the Stillman family, Morgan Manor usually does not receive people, except for the patriarchs of the major families, and certain people, it is difficult for others to enter, let alone let John take time out to receive alone.
And Weilan Stillman belongs to a specific type of person, so in addition to Hyde Stillman in the Stillman family, Weilan Stillman can go to Morgan's house at any time.
