316. Conspiracy bankruptcy
Thomas's brain was blank and he had lost all ability to think.
What is this called?
A hunter painstakingly laid a trap that he thought was perfect, thinking that he could catch his prey, but in the end, he didn't even catch a single hair of his prey.
The key problem is that if it is too unlucky, for example, the prey happened not to come, or the prey happened to bypass the trap, and even, because of some accidents, the trap failed, this is still acceptable.
What happened now was that the prey swaggered over the trap, smashed the trap with one foot, and looked at the hunter curiously: "You just laid the trap?" ”
Shame, shame!
Thomas didn't expect that more shameful things were still to come.
The test was officially over, and the crews on both sides took control of their drones to return home, and Northrop Grumman's people continued to celebrate the victory.
At this time, Antonio and Benedict quietly came to Harry.
As the losing side, the faces of the two of them were not so good-looking at this moment, but they still looked very generous, and stretched out their right hand towards Harry: "Congratulations Chairman Harry, you won very beautifully, Lockheed and Boeing lost without anything to say." ”
The kindness of the two of them reflected basic politeness, and Harry naturally couldn't slack off, not to mention that he also vaguely guessed that this matter had nothing to do with the two companies, it should be Thomas and some high-ranking officials, so he settled down, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the two of them respectively: "Thank you, I really hope this matter will not affect our exchanges." ”
"Don't worry, absolutely not!" Antonio and Benedict nodded solemnly, their eyes flashing with a strange color.
With that, the two turned around and slowly walked to Chen Chen.
If you really want to talk about it, it's not so much that you lost to the Pegasus machine, but rather the chip that you lost to the Pegasus machine, for this young junior, Antonio and Benedict are extremely complicated in their hearts.
After settling down, the two stretched out their hands towards Chen Chen: "Mr. Chen, congratulations." ”
Chen Chen knew the root of this matter very well, and he also knew that he had nothing to do with these two people, so he still had some respect in his heart, smiled faintly at the moment, and reached out to shake each other: "Thank you." ”
"Tianma has shown excellent surname ability, and we are convinced." Withdrawing his hand, Antonio nodded slightly: "In particular, it is the chip of the pioneer company, which makes us even more breathtaking." ”
"yes." Benedict also said on the side: "Although the Pegasus itself is excellent enough, if it is the Falcon that installs the chip of the pioneer company this time, I think the ending will be completely different." ”
"So......" Antonio sighed lightly, looking at Chen Chen's gaze with some longing: "We at Lockheed very much hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Pioneer Company, so that Pioneer Company can become our chip supplier, and for this reason, we are even willing to share part of the technology." ”
"The same goes for Boeing." Benedict nodded with a smile and added: "We hope to have in-depth cooperation with Mr. Chen, and on this basis, both parties can jointly fund the establishment of newer and more cutting-edge laboratories." ”
The two of them didn't speak loudly, but they were still heard by everyone present, or rather, the two had no intention of hiding their intentions.
These words undoubtedly dropped a stone in the calm water, which immediately stirred up thousands of waves.
Northrop Grumman's side, in particular, is simply green in the eyes.
This is a live robbery, everyone knows that Chen Chen is already cooperating with his side, and the Tianma machine is equipped with the chips of the pioneer company, and now Antonio and Benedict see the technical strength of the pioneer company, so they can't wait to throw an olive branch.
Sure enough, if you are a businessman, when you see that it is profitable, you will rush to it desperately.
"Hahaha......" Harry couldn't sit still for a moment, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and looked at Antonio and Benedict playfully: "Two old friends, the pioneer company has long been our Grumman's chip supplier, and now it's too shameful to dig the wall in front of me." ”
"Chairman Harry, you're really kidding." Antonio smiled faintly, not panicking at all: "Chip suppliers, it's not just that they can only be supplied to one, how can it be called digging into the wall." ”
"yes." Benedict also laughed: "Chairman Harry, don't be so stingy, the pioneer company has technology and strength, naturally everyone wants to cooperate with them, if you are interested, you can also invest in it and set up a cutting-edge laboratory together." ”
"I said you have a really big appetite......" Harry sighed faintly, in fact, he also knew that he had no right to interfere with other people's cooperation, but he was a little unwilling in his heart: "You have received capital injection from the Sietala Foundation, and now you want to cooperate with the pioneer company, my God, let others live?" ”
"Sietara...... Antonio snorted lightly and glanced at Thomas indifferently: "Although I don't want to say it, but you can guess that the falcon project failed, even if the investment was lost, our contract with Mr. Thomas was naturally terminated, and there was no follow-up." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Thomas with gloating eyes, and Thomas himself was already as dead as ashes, with deep despair and resentment in his eyes.
This is called losing the lady and breaking the soldiers.
The failure to suppress Chen Chen led to the failure and miscarriage of the Falcon plan, the huge investment was wasted, and the fourth shareholder of Lockheed also became a mirror, and more seriously, the continuous failures inevitably made him face great pressure within the consortium.
This slap is hard enough!
Moreover, because of this shady scene, no one will sympathize with him, but will only feel that he deserves it, even the people of Lockheed and Boeing no longer have a good impression of him.
A person who does not pay attention to the rules of the industry and likes to play tricks is destined to not be recognized by this industry.
Ignoring Thomas's reaction, Antonio and Benedict looked at Chen Chen again and said solemnly: "We are very sincere about the cooperation with the pioneer company, and I hope Mr. Chen can consider it." ”
"Hehe, it doesn't seem like you need to think much about it." Speaking of which, Chen Chen had nothing to twist, and nodded immediately: "It is also an honor for our pioneer company to cooperate with industry leaders like Lockheed and Boeing. ”
"No problem!" Antonio and Benedict smiled and stretched out their hands again: "It's a little early, but I still hope to work together smoothly." ”
"I hope so!" Chen Chen also smiled and shook hands with the two again.
On the side, Vincent calmly looked at everything that happened, and also sighed with emotion, looking at Chen Chen's eyes with a hint of essence.
There has never been a young man who can make him feel such a sigh and be so surprised, Vincent believes that even with the current level of technology of "their", the chips manufactured cannot reach such a level.
Something that a terrible organization couldn't solve, let this young man do it.
It can only be said that this young man is a treasure!
It's a pity, it's a pity, he's not an American, of course, once those guys in Congress realize his value, they'll try to make him an American, but that's another story.
Now, the first thing to consider is the issue of arms procurement.
Thinking of this, Vincent turned his head to look at the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force on the side, and saw that the two were whispering together, as if exchanging some opinions.
"Chief of Staff, Minister." Vincent interrupted the two of them lightly: "The test has ended, the data is being sorted out, and I will submit the military purchase plan later, is there anything I need to add?" ”
"No need!" Both of them shook their heads at the same time, their eyes full of fanaticism, like a man who has been hungry for a long time seeing bread.
"Uh......" Vincent was stunned for a moment, he had never seen the two of them have such expressions, and subconsciously asked more: "No need, is there no need to add?" ”
"Nothing is needed!" The Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force seemed to have made up their minds, and walked over to Harry with red eyes: "The result is obvious. ”
As he spoke, the two of them had already come to Harry, and stretched out their hands to him with a fanatical expression: "Chairman Harry, congratulations, congratulations, it's so perfect, Pegasus's performance is really perfect." ”
Seeing this scene, Vincent couldn't help but let out a sneer.
What is ugly, this is called ugly!
No rules, no bottom limit, no frugality, these two guys, who had previously made a trick to make Tenma defeat, now have seen with their own eyes Tenma's outstanding surname ability, not only is not ashamed of being slapped, but they can't wait to get it.
Harry was also aware of the cattiness in the middle, so he couldn't help sneering, and shook the two of them painlessly: "Don't dare to be." ”
"That's great." The Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Minister of the Air Force waved their hands with a smile: "The test has ended, and everyone has seen the results, your Pegasus has been recognized by the military, and we will place an order later, hoping to carry out the first batch of equipment as soon as possible." ”
It took a lot of effort for Harry to contain the anger in his heart.
At this moment, he really wanted to give the other party a scolding, but he also knew that he was a businessman, and he had to take into account the interests of the entire Northrop Grumman company in everything, and he couldn't be so rash.
Isn't it just for the last order to participate in the test?
Although he was put on a stand by the other party and was almost ruined under the shady curtain, but no matter what, he finally got through the difficulties and got what he wanted, and now, what else can he do besides accept it?
