218. Should the pioneer company also change its name?
Just as the reporter asked, although Chen Chen repeatedly promised that he would not get involved in weapons manufacturing, in today's world, how credible is such a promise? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Chen Chen said that he would not get involved in weapon manufacturing, he could still participate in weapon manufacturing in other ways, such as investing funds, providing technology, or participating in the development of core components.
Either way, it's a scary thing for Grumman and Pioneer to join forces, right?
Thinking of this, Vincent, Antonio, Benedict, and Thomas suddenly became nervous again.
"Well, you reminded me of that." Chen Chen blinked his eyes and looked at a group of reporters meaningfully: "Originally, I didn't think of it like this, but after you reminded me like this, I remembered that if it was just to provide funds or chip technology, it didn't seem to be a violation of my promise, well, it's worth considering." ”
As soon as these words came out, a group of reporters present suddenly cried and laughed, and they really wanted to rush up and castrate this kid.
What do you mean by "being reminded by us"? This is obviously an obvious thing, and you yourself have thought of it a long time ago, and you pretend to be sanctimonious, as if we instigated you to do so.
But these reporters couldn't say anything to refute, they did take the initiative to raise this question, Chen Chen's answer made them a little confused, did he plan to cooperate with Grumman?
Seeing that they couldn't speak, this group of reporters was obviously not reconciled, and immediately turned their brains and aimed at Clarence: "Mr. Clarence, you also heard what Mr. Chen said just now, he doesn't mind providing funds or chip technology, and cooperating without violating the promise, so does Grumman also have this intention?" Do you want pioneer companies to join in? ”
As soon as this question came up, everyone immediately stared at Clarence, waiting for his answer.
As Clarence, his face is a little ugly at the moment.
This group of reporters deserves to be journalists, and this question is too poisonous!
How to answer? If the answer is not wanted, this is undoubtedly a declaration that Grumman intends to develop it exclusively, and if Chen Chen participates in the future, isn't this a slap in the mouth; And if you answer hope, doesn't that mean acknowledging?
It seems that the answer is not very good.
However, Clarence is also a good person, his eyes purred, and he replied with a smile: "Pioneer is a very technical company, of course we want to cooperate, we Northrop Grumman want to cooperate with any company with technical strength." However, the cooperation is two-sided, and we hope that it is useless, depending on Mr. Chen's intentions. ”
As a result, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Chen again.
Chen Chen couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, this old thing is really good at kicking the ball, and it came directly to me, but I'm not a vegetarian either, don't you guys want an answer, I'll give you the answer!
After making up his mind, the corners of Chen Chen's mouth couldn't help but float a wicked smile, and he looked around easily: "Hehe, it seems that everyone wants the pioneer company to cooperate with Grumman, I really want to hear everyone's wishes, do you think we should cooperate?" ”
I'll go!
This sentence directly caused a group of people to almost fall to the ground, this guy, kicked the ball to a group of reporters.
Whether you cooperate or not is a matter for the two of you to decide, what is the matter with these reporters?
"Actually, I haven't met Mr. Clarence twice, and I didn't think of working together before." Chen Chen smiled lightly and looked at Clarence: "However, since everyone seems to want the two of us to cooperate, I think this is also a good thing, then I will officially invite Mr. Clarence to cooperate in the name of the pioneer company now, I don't know what Mr. Clarence wants?" ”
"It's a reminder to me." Clarence also showed a playful smile and made a very helpless look: "The will of the people is inviolable, since everyone wants us to cooperate, I don't dare not agree, so let's start discussing the details of cooperation between the two of us after we get down." ”
A group of reporters are really a little speechless, you originally wanted to cooperate, okay, you have to say what we want, you have to push all this on us, it's really bad!
But after thinking about it, the fierce news was dug up in the end, on one side is the Lockheed plus Boeing plus Sietala consortium, and on the other side is Northrop Grummanga Pioneer Company, and now there is a good show.
Now, the target shifted to Antonio, Benedict, and Thomas.
"Mr. Antonio, Mr. Benedict, Mr. Thomas." A group of reporters who were afraid that the world would not stop if they did not provoke a war, and began to fan the flames again: "Mr. Clarence and Mr. Chen expressed their intention to cooperate just now, does this mean that the pressure of competition is greater for you?" ”
Antonio and Benedict are both scheming, so naturally they will not be fooled, and they answered without leakage at the moment: "No matter who the opponent is, Lockheed and Boeing have competitive pressure, we will go all out, and the final result will be left to time." ”
But this answer obviously made Thomas feel dissatisfied, at this time you need to build momentum, how can you be so polite to competitors, you must give them a certain amount of pressure, and glanced at Clarence and Chen Chen contemptuously, and replied proudly: "The falcon will become a product that has been leading the world for 20 years, and the falcon will be the hegemon in the air in the future, it is invincible, no matter who the opponent is, don't want to win." ”
When these words came out, the scene was in an uproar, and a group of reporters were so excited that their faces bloomed.
And Vincent, Antonio, Benedict and others shook their heads helplessly and sighed, this Thomas is too impulsive, how can such words be said on such an occasion?
The reporter didn't care about this, and asked Chen Chen at the moment: "Mr. Chen, I heard that in the previous competition with the Sietara-based consortium, you finally had the last laugh and acquired Nokia, and now Mr. Thomas is absolutely confident that he can beat you and Grumman in the drone competition, do you have any opinion on this?" ”
"Oh, not much." Chen Chen was not fooled, and replied with a relaxed smile: "Mr. Thomas's confidence is understandable, their technical strength is indeed very strong, for me personally, what I need to do is to do my best." ”
"Do your best?" Hearing Chen Chen's answer, Thomas only thought that he had no confidence, and was even more confident at the moment, as if he had issued some kind of declaration: "I remember that Mr. Chen once said that the pioneer company should become the pioneer of science and technology, the pioneer of mankind, and the pioneer of the world. Why don't you transfer this name to me? ”
Chen Chen didn't want to say it too explicit in front of a group of reporters, but Thomas's face really made him a little angry.
You like to be in the limelight, don't you? Don't you know that the higher you climb, the more painful it hurts to fall? Since you like to climb that high, just let you climb a little higher!
At that moment, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he responded indifferently: "Mr. Thomas, do you want the name of the pioneer company, you have to take it steadily, this name is very load-bearing, I am afraid that you will not be able to carry it." ”
"If I can't afford it, won't you even more?" Thomas was only thinking about how to suppress Chen Chen, and when he saw Chen Chen starting to fight back at this moment, he blurted out without hesitation: "Don't think it's great to cooperate with Grumman, I haven't taken you in my eyes yet, just wait to be defeated!" ”
When these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed in unison.
At this point, the smell of gunpowder is a bit heavy.
No matter how confident you are, after all, you are all peers and old-timers, the so-called look up and don't see you down, you still have to mix in this circle, just save some face for others, which is also to leave a way back for yourself.
Joining forces to sign up for a group and holding advanced technology doesn't mean that you can see no one.
Clarence and Victor's faces sank, and they glanced at Thomas with a grim look and a sneer.
Even Antonio and Benedict looked a little unpleasant, and secretly threw an apologetic look at Clarence and Victor at the moment, indicating that it was not his intention, but Thomas's personal behavior.
At this moment, they have even begun to regret that they should not accept the injection of money from Sietara, and they should not cooperate with a guy like Thomas.
Noticing the eyes of Antonio and Benedict, Clarence and Victor suppressed their anger, and their faces slowly calmed down, forget it, it's just a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, and there will be opportunities to teach him a lesson in the future.
Relatively speaking, the happiest thing is a group of reporters, the war of words has finally been provoked, and I have to write when I go back.
"Lockheed's Fourth Shareholder Declares Falcon Invincible", "Pioneer Company Is Not Qualified? The name is left behind", "Thomas claims not to take Grumman and the pioneers seriously"!
These titles are exciting to think about.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was a little solemn, and the smell of gunpowder was a little strong, at this time, it was Vincent's turn to come out to relieve the siege, he cleared his throat at the moment, smiled faintly and said: "It seems that everyone is very confident, this is the best, I believe that satisfactory results will be produced, okay, I should also go to Lockheed and Boeing to have a look." ”
As he spoke, he turned to himself and prepared to leave.
Seeing this scene, Antonio and Benedict naturally knew that this was for everyone to step down, and they also smiled faintly at the moment and said, "Then, let us accompany General Vincent." ”
With that, he secretly gave Clarence and Victor an apologetic look again, and then left after Vincent.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, a group of reporters left one after another.
