Chapter 724: Grant?
Grant Group, one of the largest arms companies in the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 About one-third of the annual arms purchases of the United States will go to the Grant Group. Among them, the more famous ones are all kinds of warships and the maintenance of warships, including the automation system on the warships.
Many of the warships that are in service in the United States are manufactured by the Grant Group. It's a giant business.
Perhaps many people think that the military industrial enterprises of the United States have been inherited for many years and may be very rigid, but in fact this is not the case at all. They have taken over one of the world's most lucrative industries, and they have never stopped researching and developing while supporting their acting president's military campaigns.
Of course, with their current technology, they are enough to be proud of many peers for many years, even if all the research and development is stopped, with the current technology, it will take many years for most other companies to catch up.
Even if the fast-growing country on the other side of the ocean wants to catch up with their technological level, it will not be able to achieve it in five or six years.
They know very well that if they stop, it won't be long before they become inert in their bones, and then they will lose the motivation to continue their research - even if those researchers are there, but there are no decision-makers to set the direction, I am afraid that there will not be too many breakthroughs in the research of researchers - a series of incentives are made by decision-makers, and researchers are also people, unless they are the kind of people who have a tendon, no one will get along with themselves, right? Put a comfortable day, but do you have to look for abuse?
After all, without incentives, much research will not be motivated.
Regarding the Grant Group, Lin Dong not only knows it in reality, but also has the information in his mind.
Grant Group attaches much more importance to technical research and reserves than people think.
Like many large groups in the capital world, Grant Group will also go to the world to collect some invention patents related to their research, buy them at a high price, and then manufacture them according to the situation, or put them directly in the safe, so as to maintain the cutting-edge position of their own existing products.
This is a very common practice. Until the existing products and technical capabilities have been squeezed to the maximum value, the world of capital usually does not produce a new generation of products - even knowing that the new product may perform better and be more welcoming to users.
Of course, there is another exception -- that is, the opponent's technological level has been vigorously pursued, so the capital group will not only have to regularly release new technological designs, but will also often send some new products to the military to test their effects.
For example, because Huaxia and Maozi have invested a lot in stealth fighters, and their technical level is constantly improving, the F22 and F35 of the old United States are in production, constantly improving technology, and even in the sixth generation aircraft.
But what about gunships? How many years is the old beautiful longbow Apache? Isn't there a new design? There must be one, but Huaxia and Maozi's armed helicopters also have them, but they are much worse than Apache, and they are still poorly developed now, so he is not in a hurry and waits slowly.
That's what capital does.
At present, Grant Company is the main supplier of naval equipment for the United States and even many pro-European and American countries, and the future generations of the parallel world, the information in Lin Dong's mind, in the next few decades, the business of Grant Group will begin to shrink slowly, because related enterprises in China have begun to insert themselves into this industry and seize the market share of many Grant companies.
In the past, Huaxia's products were usually one factor to seize the market: cheap.
Think about it, the same fighter is much cheaper than the former when the J-10 is almost comparable to the F16 when it is sold. Although there may be a bit of a gap in performance, especially on electronic devices, there will not really be much loss in performance.
It's so cheap!
Think about it, with the Great Wall, Jiangling pickups, and some civilian steel pipes, you can make the kind of improvised rocket artillery that runs around in the Middle East, do you care about this gap?
However, decades later, Huaxia's product performance is more than this feature.
The main thing is that the technical level has caught up, and the price is not much more expensive than the original!
This is the power of a large country with an entire industrial system that has developed its entire industrial system when it begins to seize the world market.
Therefore, Grant Company, which is accustomed to being a monopoly and then letting other companies pick up some leftovers, naturally can't sit still, and immediately seizes the market with Huaxia enterprises.
In the past, when Huaxia companies were doing business in this area, they were often a little unable to save face -- after all, military industrial enterprises have been accustomed to the planned economy for many years, and it is not easy for them to take the initiative to go out to find a market. However, after the military reform, China's military enterprises have basically been state-run or privatized, and their operations are much more flexible, and they are not at all slower than enterprises like Huawei and Sany to seize the market, especially once they get used to Huaxia's way of doing business, many businessmen around the world really can't grab it.
In the words of Europeans and Americans, Nima, you yellow people, you are really too hardworking, right?
Of course, the competition for capital is bound to be fierce and cruel. Even the ones that need to be bled out. Needless to say, when Grant Group later retained the local market of the United States and the markets of some pro-American countries in the European and American systems, but lost most of the other markets in the world, Huaxia's related enterprises also lost a lot of manpower in overseas locations.
Therefore, speaking of which, Lin Dong still knows a little about this Grant Group.
For example, the Ms. Hathaway in front of her, although she is only a special representative in China now, but more than ten years later, she has become a pivotal director of the Grant Group - this woman's ability to judge the situation is really strong, and her temperament of seeing the wind and steering her rudder makes it easy for her to climb to the top of Grant in a short time.
Of course, there is no doubt about the ability - just look at it just now, just because of Lin Dong's eyes, he immediately changed his negotiation strategy, such a person, it is difficult to succeed or not!
However, does Lin Dong dare to cooperate with her?
Can't!
I really don't dare! In the encyclopedia, there is more than one piece of information, which is about Hathaway's negotiation on behalf of the Grant Group and Huaxia Enterprises, and the merger or cooperation behind these negotiations all prove in the end, and the last ones who were cheated were all Huaxia Enterprises!
Today, she is targeting the Changying Group again. If Lin Dong didn't know her details and style of doing things in advance, I'm afraid that even if the cooperation can't be negotiated, at least he can leave a good impression!
What about later? Once such an impression is left, it is difficult to say whether it will be pitted later! (To be continued.) )
