Chapter 446: Safety First
Hearing Carrick say that it would be fine, Link was no longer worried.
He spoke out his previous suspicions, and then said his current thoughts. He concluded: "Since the authorities are listening to my phone, the phone tapping should not be directly related to the car accident." ”
Carrick said, "You forgot that Martha's phone was also tapped," he paused and said. "I suspect that her phone calls were also intercepted by the Security Service. But she was also being followed. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"It's possible that some people in the Security Service are using their authority to do things for certain people. ”
Link pursed his lips. Carrick's guess is a real possibility. A year ago, a scandal broke that some employees of the Security Service used their power to eavesdrop on the communications between their ex-wives and her boyfriend. It's not impossible for them to take money to help other people.
He thought for a moment and said, "You're smarter than me, help me analyze who is most likely to be behind the scenes?"
"There's too little information to analyze. Carrick shook his head. "If you doubt them, get rid of them one by one. As for the evidence or something. You're not a justice, what do you want evidence for?"
"It's easy for you to say. Those two people are easy to deal with, but the relationship between those two companies is too great. ”
In the past, he could blatantly fight against the federal government, because at that time, no matter how much money he had, he was barefoot. But now he has put on his shoes, and they are still beautiful. He already has a favorite pair of shoes. He couldn't be as unscrupulous as he used to be.
GE is not just a company, it can be said to be the face of a consortium, and the relationship between Meng Sandu and the government is quite deep. Moving these two companies before does not make people think that he is the main reason. If you try to get them now, it's easy to expose yourself.
Carrick smiled and said, "Actually, I think you should be able to rule out GE." They may have done something similar before. But then they have a direct and powerful entanglement with you. And now they don't have any conflict with you. They shouldn't be going to deal with you at this time. ”
"The Three Governors are more suspicious, they have a direct and serious conflict with your Benehans company. But as you said. They shouldn't have the energy to deal with you right now. ”
"Who knows. Anyway, I look like everyone is going to deal with me now. ”
"I'm not good at investigating these. Maybe you can ask some private detectives to investigate. Carrick thought for a moment and said. "If you don't have anything on your side that I need to do. I'm leaving tomorrow. ”
Link didn't keep him any longer, asking, "When are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to Las Vegas. ”
"Resident or have something to do?"
"Stay forever!" said Carrick with a helpless expression. "The inhabitants of Snake Valley are very nice to me, but rather unfriendly. During the shootout between Hank's Farm and the two "cattle thieves", the story of him "hiding far away" has spread in Snake Valley.
Link thought for a moment, took out a bunch of keys and gave him them, saying, "This is the key to my house on Bakers Avenue in Las Vegas." You go and live first. ”
Carrick was not polite, took the key and said, "If you plan to really put Strus Electronic Technology Company up and running, you may have to spend more than two billion dollars." You know, the CPU production line I designed is very technically demanding. The cost is high. The requirements for other parts are also very high, and the procurement cost is not small. ”
Link recalled his assets, nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
"Also, you have to be more careful. If you don't find the mastermind behind the scenes, you can't take it lightly for a day. ”
"I'll take notice. Link is already looking for ways to keep himself and his family safe.
In this car accident, his car was knocked over. That reminded him of Kempner Holland's proposal. He decided to customize a safer vehicle for himself and his family. It's just that he's thinking about a better vehicle with that brand.
He will not make a pickup truck, but a sedan. American car brands are actually not very good, and in terms of technical reserves, they are actually not as good as European countries - the American auto industry has long been bankrupt.
He has seen most of the top car manufacturers these days, and he finally has his eye on the Mercedes-Benz Maybach Zeppelin. He intends to use this model as a base for modification and customization to be used as his business vehicle. And personal cars can also buy other models of Maybach sedans for modification.
The price of this model is very high, and the price of the whole car is as high as 5 million euros. If it is modified according to his requirements, it will be difficult. Tens of millions of euros are possible. But he ordered two, which Mercedes should be able to accept.
He looked at Carrick and said, "I'm going to customize a few cars, do you want one?"
"Custom cars?" Carrick wasn't very interested in cars. In other words, he is not very interested in anything other than the program and the hardware that supports it. "You want a custom van? I don't need to, I like to drive myself. ”
"I'm going to make two family cars as well. I'm going to use the Maybach model. If you're interested, I'll help you order one by the way. ”
"Good. Help me choose a restrained model!"
"Good. ”
The two didn't even say anything about how to give the money after the car was made. The money is not a matter in their eyes.
The United States is a big market, and Seattle is one of the richest cities in the United States, and Maybach, as a premium car brand, certainly won't miss this city.
Link called the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Seattle and told him he was going to order a few cars and asked them to send someone to talk. A world-class super-rich man wanted to customize a car, and the manager of Mercedes-Benz personally came to the Ozette Bank building.
In Link's office, the manager in his forties did not dare to snub Link, who was less than twenty-six: "Hello, Mr. Hans. I'm Fran Madison, Mercedes-Benz Sales Manager in China. Thank you very much for choosing Mercedes-Benz. ”
Link invited him to sit down in the office's reception area and asked Anne to prepare coffee before getting to the point: "Mr. Madison, as I said on the phone. I'd like to customize five cars in your company. Two of the business sedans, I would like to be able to modify them according to my requirements based on your Zeppelin models. In addition, three family sedans, which I hope will be modified based on your bulletproof version of the model. ”
"Absolutely. "Even if there is no special request, Link's order can reach 13 million euros in sales, and that is before tax. "I don't know what special requests Mr. Hans has. ”
"I asked all vehicles to be able to protect against the bullets of a medium-caliber sniper rifle fired at a distance of a hundred meters. At the same time, it was required to use military-grade bulletproof tires with an increased armored chassis. There are also cars that weigh about four tons, but the maximum speed cannot be less than two hundred and fifty kilometers. ”
His demands are somewhat demanding. Anything else is good to say. But the basic model he demanded weighed less than three tons at most, and the top speed was only 250 kilometers. Now he requires a four-ton car to reach a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, which is not easy.
Madison, however, did not raise any doubts, and nodded, "We can accommodate Mr. Hans's request." He said as he took out the notebook he had brought, and turned it on. "Allow me to introduce you to our group's latest V12 turbocharged engine. ”
This is an engine with a maximum power of more than six hundred and eighty kilowatts. It is currently the most powerful car engine.
In fact, the core of Link's modification requirements is the engine. As long as the engine solves the problem, other problems are simply problems. Those cars are all high-end models, of course, other technologies will not be lacking, what independent suspension, chassis automatic lifting and the like, there must be. And it's a custom car again, and the interior decoration is of course the best.
Link minimalists the interior of the car: "Don't use wood and stone. All carbon fiber or leather. "Planks and stones break easily after a collision and can hurt people.
"Okay. What else do you want?"
"Business cars can be black, personal cars, black and ivory. The last one...... I'll talk to you later. ”
"Okay. Madison waited for him to finish, then stood up and said. "Then I'll go back and let the head office calculate the price. I'll get back to you as soon as the price is out. ”
Link nodded and asked, "How long will it take for those cars to arrive?"
"Up to two months. ”
"It's best to arrive within half a month. ”
Although it is a custom car. But the mold parts are all ready-made, and it is not difficult to make. Although Zeppelin is limited to 100 vehicles per year, it takes an average of three days to build each vehicle.
"Mr. Hans, in order to fulfill your requirements, we need to make adjustments in some areas, especially the new engine. And we need to do some mock tests. So half a month must be difficult. ”
"That month. Up to one month. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hans, but I can't give you a definite answer right now. I need to communicate with the company's technical department!" Madison said apologetically, after a moment's thought.
"I hope to get your reply in two days. Price included. Link stood up and held out his hand to him. "That way, in three days we can sign a contract. ”
Madison was also a little excited: "No problem!" If this business can be completed, his performance should increase by more than 20 million euros.
