Japan time, January 6th, night, Miyamoto house, Rice Flower Town.
As soon as Mei Daizi came up from Mei Dai Restaurant, she broadcast a personal phone call from Belinda Harold in the United States and told her what she thought. Then he said to Miyako Miyamoto: "Mom, Sister Belinda is looking for you. ”
"Press hands-free. Miyamoto said.
Belinda asked, "Miko, I want to ask about something?"
"What?" Miyamoto asked, "Wouldn't you want to annex any more company?"
"Now a lot of military enterprises are in transition, general power company, general electric company, general automobile company, Texas electronics company, etc.," Belinda said, "now is a great opportunity, their military department is very good." ”
"The development of the Hoxiu Group has come to an end, in terms of launch vehicles, there are currently seven series of launch vehicles, the Athena series is in the hands of the Lord Company, the Pegasus and Taurus series are in the hands of the Sky Rail Company, the Cones series is still in the experiment, the Yutianshen series is shared by us and the Universal Power Company, and the Juli God and Deerta series are in our hands. In terms of missiles, the Immortal Bird long-range air-to-air missile, the Maverick short-range air-to-surface missile, the Harpoon anti-ship missile, the Tortoon anti-tank missile, the Tomahawk homing missile, the Prison Advanced Medium-Range air-to-air missile, and the Longbow Hellfire missile, which is licensed from Lord Corporation. In terms of fire control radar system, now in addition to the fire control radar system of the Raptor stealth fighter that has just come out, the fire control radar system is Texas Electronics, the Panda multi-role fighter, the Warhawk heavy fighter, the Fighting Falcon multi-role fighter, the Hornet multi-role fighter, the Longbow attack helicopter and other main fighters, by the way, there are also Ghost strategic bombers, these are all fire control radar systems produced by the companies of the Hoxiu Group, if it weren't for the Raptor stealth fighter coming out, I wouldn't dare to let you buy McGonagall and other companies. Miyamoto Miko said, "The Hoshu group does not have tanks and other ground weapons, and they are not particularly good at light weapons, but these things can be taken slowly, and there is no need to test the bottom line of the US Department of Justice in order to buy these things." The aerospace industry is not counted, this is an industry that requires the gathering of forces, and in addition, if you look at the military industrial enterprises in the United States that straddle the three worlds of sea, land, and air, and produce the main products required by the three armed forces at the same time. Didn't General Power sell the production line of the Fighting Falcon multirole fighter to Lord before it acquired Bath Steel?"
"Well, not really. Belinda said, "But you listen to me, the blessing of the Gulf War, the Patriot medium-range surface-to-air missiles of the Raine company are selling well, and the Rennes company is now ready to sweep the defense departments of these companies, and there are a lot of good things about these old companies, are we also buying some of them piecemeal, such as the patent of the Texas Electronics Company, which produces the fire control radar system of the Raptor stealth fighter." ”
Mimiko Miyamoto smiled and asked, "What's the use of that?"
"How could it be useless?" Belinda said, "so that we can immediately produce that kind of active phased array radar and upgrade those fighters, which is a big deal." ”
"If those fighters are equipped with this radar, how can we make money. Miyamoto said.
Belinda asked, "What do you think?"
"I bet that after the Raptor stealth fighter equipped with an active phased array radar is built, it will be locked in the home by the Americans, just like the Ghost strategic bomber, and with its high cost and high price, how many do you say the US military can procure? 100 or 200?" Mimiko Miyamoto said with a smile, "In the end, it would be good not to lose money." ”
"It seems good that you say that," Belinda said, "but what about the future? The price will definitely come down in the future, and it is very possible to sell one or two thousand by then." ”
Mimiko Miyamoto smiled: "Then squeeze out its market share before that." ”
"Oh, that's a good idea. Belinda asked, "What are you going to do?"
Mimiko Miyamoto asked, "Do you know why I told you not to keep the fighter in your hands?"
"You said before that the most profitable fighters of the future are the fuselage, fire control radar system, coating, etc. Those fighters are basically sold out, and the profit on the airframe is already very small, for which we only do their radar system business. "Also, the Fighting Lion series will be a competitor to the Warhawk, Battlefalcon and Hornet for a long time, and it will be a bit difficult to compete with yourself." ”
"Not only that," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Also, those planes are not produced by us, staying in the Hoxiu Group will only make those original employees think of their original company, and now when they see these fighters outside showing their hands, the first thing they will think of is 'it was sold by our Hoxiu Group', and if you argue with people from other companies, you can also say, 'This is why our Hoxiu Group doesn't look down on these fighters and sold them', 'Your fighters are not because of the radar of our Hoxiu Group' and so on." ”
"I understand that if our fighters are not worse than those fighters, then the waist of the employees will be straighter and the cohesion will be stronger. Belinda asked, "But why sell the Warhawk and Hornet, as well as the Lancer bomber, to Sonic and Lord, which have a mediocre relationship with us, respectively, and sell the Tomcat to Knop, which has a good relationship with us?"
"You also said that the relationship is mediocre, then you have to give a heavy gift, and there are very complicated calculations in this, and there are many issues to consider, not only on the table, but also the consortium behind them. Let me briefly say a few things, first of all, the Hawk fighter and the Hornet fighter are in a competitive relationship with the Warrior Lion fighter, and if they are sold to the Nopu company, even if the relationship is good now, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the relationship between the Nope company and us in the future, and this practice is not advisable. The following is to pick a buyer, a series of conditions, there are two buyers, Lord Corporation and Sonic Company, the former has a Raptor fighter, the Warhawk fighter and the Hornet fighter are just a supplement to it, and the latter is different, which is a big gift for it. By the same token, the Lancer bomber was a necessary addition to the Lord company. Also, the Raptor fighter was developed to replace the Warhawk fighter, so how can their relationship be good in the future. As for selling the Tomcat fighter to the Nopu company, it is because it does not affect our relationship, because now the Nope company is co-owning with us the Super Hornet fighter that replaces the Tomcat fighter, and there will be no psychological problems with what is your own thing. Miyamoto Miko smiled, "Actually, seriously speaking, this itself was agreed in advance to a certain extent, to clean up the aircraft manufacturing companies that are not strong enough, so as to form a monopoly situation, this is a tacit understanding, but now it is we who do it." ”
"I see. Belinda laughed, "I've found it easier to listen to your explanations than to listen to the experts' explanations." Then he asked, "What do you mean now, because the Raptor fighter may not be sold out, nor can it be purchased on a large scale, so think about putting a model out to grab the territory, occupy the low-end market first, and help the employees by the way, so, which one?"
"What do you see?" Miyamoto said with a smile, "I'm far away from here, and I can't feel the atmosphere of the mainstream arms market." ”
"I can see any of them, the Stealth multi-role carrier-based aircraft series converted from the Avenger II, and the multi-role stealth fighter converted from the Black Spider fighter. Belinda laughed, "I understand now, you know early on that a good heavy fighter is a money-losing commodity in a short period of time, so it was not developed." ”
"You're exalting me too much. Miyamoto Miko smiled, "You know, these things are all transformed from failures, and these things themselves can't be transformed into heavy fighters. Then he said, "I think so, let's use the Avenger II converted stealth multi-role carrier-based aircraft series, I remember it also has a stealth unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, right? These things are exactly what the Americans need, release them early to grab territory, and when others come out with new products, we will upgrade, and we can upgrade until we need to replace them." This must be learned from the general power company, the Fighting Falcon multi-role fighters have been sold in the thousands, and in less than a certain time, the country will not want to retire them, the loss is too great. ”
"I like the idea," Belinda laughed, "and the specialized stealth carrier-based aircraft is still blank, and it will definitely sell a good number." And this can also complement the Super Hornet fighter to a certain extent. ”
"This series of aircraft should not be equipped with an active phased array radar system, starting with the low-level ones, step by step, so that you can charge several more times. Miyamoto said.
"Of course. Belinda laughed, then asked, "What about the other multi-role stealth fighter converted from the Black Spider fighter?"
"Wait a few years," Miyamoto said, "and after the Raptor stealth fighter has been in service for a year, then our stealth aircraft, which is equipped with an active phased array radar and is also a stealth aircraft, but not as sophisticated as the Raptor fighter, can be sold as a wholesale version of it." ”
"And what about the radar system?" Belinda asked.
Mimiko Miyamoto said: "This will wait for our multi-role stealth fighter to be sold and then help them upgrade, almost three years later." Otherwise, those planes have been upgraded, and our planes will not be easy to sell, but depending on the situation, we can first upgrade the radar system of the Panda fighter of Nopu Company, and the specific time will be before the mass production of the Super Hornet fighter. ”
"Then six months from now, when the Hornet fighter will be almost ready for mass production. Belinda asked, "What about ours? ”
"It's up to you. One by one, one by one. Miyamoto said.
"I understand that. Belinda asked, "So this opportunity to buy the military industry was just given up?"
"If you really have an itch and want to buy some, go to the production line of one or two missiles, not more than three. Miyamoto said. "Alright, so be it. ”
"Okay, I got it. Belinda said, "Good night, everybody. ”……
