Chapter 174: The Importance of Appearance
Dignity has never been the way to survive.
Especially for someone like Gawain.
Gao Wen, who was born into a moderately wealthy family, did not fail to see the suffering of the people, on the contrary, he had seen and seen many of them.
But most of the time, he ignores those people.
Those people don't even have the qualifications to be human in his eyes.
However, just now the self-confidence he was born with was gone, and the moment he wagged his tail, his dignity was gone.
Next, there was a confrontation exercise between weapons and equipment and soldiers, which was quickly rolled out.
At this moment, even in New Haven, there is still a lot of seemingly uninhabited land in the suburbs.
In this game, not only Winchester Arms Company was invited, but also other weapons companies were invited.
However, other arms companies did not heed the invitation of the city of New Haven.
Although they are located in New Haven, the New Haven area has always been saturated with firearms sales.
Is it better than this time to replace all the weapons in the New Haven area with weapons of their own making?
No.
Of course not.
Therefore, there is no reason for them to put a lot of effort into doing this.
It's like when they saw a gun comparison with Winchester Arms, and although they thought it was funny, they didn't do it.
In their opinion, instead of doing these tricks, it is better to find a way to make their weapons cheaper and cheaper.
And, to feed the greedy bellies of those responsible for the procurement of weapons.
As for the work done by the Winchester Arms Company, it seemed to them unnecessary and a waste of time.
Could it be that someone would really choose Winchester's weapons because of such a small game?
Even if there is, how many people can be affected by such a small competition?
In fact, it didn't affect many people.
Under Doug's guidance, Oliver started the competition, which has to be said to be a success.
Because, Winchester's latest rifle, in terms of performance, does have a leading edge.
But how many guns were sold?
A total of 232 were sold.
This triple-digit sales volume has already excited all the employees of the Winchester Arms Company, which has not opened for a long time.
However, this is more than two months of sales, even if the competition is held, even if the rifles of Winchester Arms Company are better than other companies. But the number of people who know is still a minority, and in two months, those large weapons manufacturing companies have achieved four-digit sales in a single grabbing model.
And, compared to Winchester Arms, a small workshop that uses new technology, but can't raise the price. Those big firearms and weapons manufacturing companies are more profitable.
Because, although Oliver was happy, but in addition to being happy, he also had a trace of doubt, doubting that what Doug said would not be fulfilled one day.
The competition certainly has a role and will bring influence, but the impact is far less than imagined.
At this point, Doug approached him and said there was going to be a drill. This exercise will determine the future fate of Winchester Arms Company.
Although Oliver prepared with his heart, he had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Because......
With the exception of Winchester Arms, there is no longer a single arms manufacturing company that has shown enthusiasm for this......
Is such an exercise really that useful?
Oliver's mind was marked with a big question mark.
Doug didn't know about Oliver's concerns, and even if he did, he wouldn't be worried.
Because, what Oliver was worried about was not a thing at all in Doug's opinion.
Why?
Because, Doug owns the American newspaper group.
The American Press Group has more than 30 newspaper offices and more than 30 newspapers.
These newspapers cover most of the bustling cities in the northern United States today.
This is a very rare media channel.
As long as Doug has a need, he can make a message cover the entire northern United States in a very short time.
As a result, Eagle Bank was able to plunge into crisis "overnight", and Winchester Arms Co., of course, was able to prosper in an instant.
However, the time has not yet come.
If Winchester Arms Company suddenly rises now. That will only make other competitors go all out to start guarding.
Once they start to take precautions, they start to strangle from the perspective of technology investment, marketing, and so on. Even if it can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.
Most crucially, this did not meet Doug's expectations, and Doug had no way to make excess profits as a result.
What Doug wanted was to suddenly rise up when the Civil War armaments began to be tendered, and eat up most of the orders in one fell swoop before other weapons companies could react.
Only in this way is it in Doug's interest.
However, Doug's interests are not the same as Oliver's.
Perhaps two months ago, Oliver was just thinking about how to keep Winchester Arms in business.
And now, two months later, Oliver has seen a new path, and he hopes to get through this path as soon as possible and get the goods he "deserves".
By the time Oliver was slacking off, Doug had already ordered Ram to start preparing in earnest.
As for the content and items to prepare, I also knew in advance under Gao Wen's disclosure.
Although this feeling of knowing the exam questions in advance is very cool, it still takes sweat and hard work to hand in a perfect answer sheet.
The military exercises of this era are not divided into red and blue.
Because, in this era, whether it is an empty bag or body armor, it is a luxury thing.
A battle, not to mention the use of these, can completely avoid casualties, and even if it is completely avoided, the cost of capital is unacceptable.
Therefore, the mode of the exercise is an attack on an imaginary target.
Several participating companies will be working on the same project at the same time in adjacent venues.
The requirements and focus of these projects also vary.
It can be regarded as a relatively safe measure of the quality of personnel and the quality of weapons.
For specific military training, Doug is a layman in a layman, a guy who can't even talk about cannons.
Therefore, he also did not direct Ram to take a few steps forward, tilting his head to shoot some enemy.
He is not Chang Kaishen, he can't do such a thing.
However, Doug didn't fully stock, he invited a few tailors, studied for a week, and finally came up with a completely new standard garment.
"Ram, come and see, where the design is unreasonable, we will change it. ”
