Chapter 190: Hammer's Military Industry
The Stark Messe was about to take place, and it was only natural that the Osborne Group would receive an invitation. As the world's top company in biology and genetic engineering, www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion. The Osborne Group has participated in every Stark Messe exhibition since the Norman era.
Since three months ago, the Osborne Group has been researching and setting up this important exhibition to present the company's most important products in order to get enough news attention and product trading interest.
Since Harry came to power, the center of the Osborne Group has begun to optimize and reallocate resources from three major projects: energy, biotechnology, and weapons.
Needless to say, energy projects are completely out of the Stark Group, not to mention how much money is invested in competing with them, and more importantly, even if the money is invested, it may not be rewarded.
Medical biotechnology is now a top priority for the Osborne Group, with a long-term plan and development around the limb regeneration program.
This includes research on various medical bones, as well as more precise minimally invasive nerve repair surgery with outsourcing experts. Relying on the integration of the doctor's surgery + limb repair formula, many nerve injuries that were originally difficult to overcome and repair have been repaired.
and a variety of other medical programs that have been built around the heart of limb restoration.
Although the cost of each procedure and repair is quite expensive throughout the medical plan, there are still countless people waiting in line for Osborne Group surgery.
After all, compared to permanent physical damage and disability, there are many people who are willing to break the bank or even borrow money to make up hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses.
At present, the relevant personnel of Osborne Group are studying whether it is possible to further reduce the cost and reduce the difficulty of the operation, and reduce the cost of the operation appropriately. This is not only good for patients, but more importantly for keeping costs down, allowing Osborne to roll out their medical centers on a large scale around the world.
It could even replace the trauma department of a traditional hospital, and if it could be done, it would bring countless profits to the Osborne Group alone.
After all, how many people around the world have traumatic injuries due to various accidents every day, and how many traumatic injuries are irreversible and permanent injuries for ordinary people.
And in terms of weapons, because Stark Group has made a win-win swap between their weapons channel and Osborne Group's energy channel.
Osborne has a channel advantage over more than enough weapons resources. Unlike the most common understanding of arms dealers, Osborne Group and Stark Industries are both world-famous arms dealers.
But their core business in arms has never been simply selling "weapons" as they are commonly understood: missiles, individual bones, new vehicles, and so on.
The real big arms dealers sell a complete set of [integrated solutions]. Take, for example, the famous missile designed by Tony: the Jericho missile.
It may seem like a missile with mass destruction, but it requires a complex system to support the operation of the missile and achieve its maximum power.
This includes fire control integration, radar search, and associated control computers and transport vehicles. And these things are often part of the overall product line.
The Stark Group's weapons are naturally coded by their own code, and similar fire control systems can only achieve the best support for their own weapons.
And the price of this whole system is more expensive than a missile, I don't know how many times.
It can be said that this is a strictly closed-source system in itself, which is also a necessary means of self-protection in business.
However, under the matchmaking of Li Jie, in the cooperation between Osborne Group and Stark Group, Stark Group moved out the right to use some of the old code and handed it over to Osborne Group.
This allows Osborne to produce weapons that are compatible with the integrated systems produced by Stark Group.
It is precisely because of such concessions from the Stark Group that Harry can shut up all the old guys in the group. And mobilized the strength of the Osborne Group to help the Stark Group withstand the pressure of new energy sales, and traded all the energy channels it mastered. And resisted the demand from Congress for the Iron Armor.
There is a reward for the effort, and it is an equivalent exchange.
With the code, the weapons produced by the Osborne Group will be compatible with other Stark Group platforms produced by the previous military. This is a good thing for the military.
Because in addition to the Stark Group, the Osborne Group is also an important arms dealer for them. However, the systems of the two companies have always been incompatible, which requires the military to prepare two different sets of teams, and for logistics, weapons of the same model are not compatible, which simply increases the difficulty of their work!
And now the Osborne Group has integrated it all, which has made other countries that had previously purchased weapons from the Stark Group turn to the Osborne Group.
Among them, of course, also includes the US military. This made the weapons production division of the Osborne Group a lot of money. At the same time, because of the involvement of the Osborne group, Tony has not agreed at all to the US military to build war machines or armor such as the Iron Patriot.
On the contrary, the military has put the direction on the Osborne Group, and the cost-compressed version of the [Elf Armor] manufactured with the Green Goblin Battle Armor as the prototype is more in line with the needs of the army's large-scale equipment.
After all, the military is a place that pays attention to collectivism, and one or two superhero-like elites are not necessarily very popular with military generals, they prefer an obedient elite collective.
This made the life of Hammer's military industry, which had been following the Stark Group and the Osborne Group to eat dirt, even more difficult. They can't get involved in the military's big projects, and small projects don't make much money and are squeezed by others.
And in this world, Ivan Vanke, another who made the original Ark Reactor, did not join the banner of Hammer Military Industry, but joined Latvia.
This made Hammer's hair turn gray as the leader of Hammer's military industry, a scientist but a lover of money, and he didn't mind making a lot of money with weapons and such things.
But the world is never compromised and changed because of your subjective will.
"Albert, I said it. I'm not going to sell my business!!" Hammer snarled at the young man on the other end of the line.
The other party is also an arms dealer, Albert Manstein, a twenty-five-year-old arms dealer. Aside from being born into a wealthy arms family, Hammer didn't think there was anything commendable about the young man.
Anyway, Hammer looks the same way for everyone, even Tony Stark has the same assessment in his eyes.
The Mansteins are companies that produce a wide range of rapid-fire weapons and light weapons, and their operations do not overlap with those of the Osborne and Stark groups. In many ways, it is even said that it is a subsidy for these two companies focused on the production of heavy weapons.
This is the right path, at least without going head-to-head with the two megagroups. Hammer, on the other hand, has great ambition and little ability. He had always wanted to set up a super-corporation like Stark Industries.
But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.
The crash of an offensive drone built for General Ross last time, as well as the heavy casualties that occurred in imitation of the Steel Armor, put the entire company in a dilemma.
The military has turned a large number of orders to the Osborne Group, and now in addition to buying some finished single-product weapons from him, it is not even giving him orders to manufacture those specialized weapon sets.
This frustrated him, he always felt that he was just missing a platform and a springboard, and as long as there was the right opportunity, he Hammer could soar to the sky!
"Jingle bell~!" The phone rang again, and Hammer grabbed the phone in a grumpy manner and yelled, "I said Albert! I won't ......"
There was a slight laugh on the other end of the line, which sounded a little mocking to him. It was a slightly older voice, and it was clear that it could not have come from Albert.
"Mr. Hammer, I'm not the Albert you call me. The voice was old-fashioned and majestic.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my temper. Hammer realized that this might be his client, so he immediately adjusted his tone: "So who are you?"
"Someone who can help your company out of this mess, at least someone who will make you shine at Stark Messe in three months' time. The other end of the phone said seriously.
"What?" Hammer thought he might have run into a liar.
The person on the other end of the line had clearly guessed what Hammer was thinking, so he said, "Don't be in a hurry to hang up Mr. Hammer, my man has left some small gifts in your window." Let's make a decision after reading it. We'll be in touch when the time comes. ”
After saying this, this person hung up the phone first. This baffled Hammer a bit.
He glanced at the window outside his office, and there was an envelope attached to the outside of the twenty-storey building. And this is probably the gift that the man said.
PS: Hammer's timeline took place three months ago, when Lee Kit and the others had just returned from the East.
