Chapter 290: No Shortage of Money

In the days of negotiations between GP and Microsoft, there was nothing else.

Since the Americans broke out the exoskeleton technique, a very sensational thing has happened.

The American freighter passing through the Gulf of Aden had a pirate hijacking incident, and it happened that the US fleet was in a hurry to change the field recently, and there was a vacancy in the escort, so it was targeted by international pirates who were looking at the opportunity, a few small kayaks, a dozen AKs, plus RPGs and slippers, and it was done!

Actually, things are more complicated. In addition to pirates, there are also well-armed militants, I heard that their targets are certain cargo in the freighter, and the United States did not specify what it was, but the news revealed that the rescue teams of NATO countries were repulsed, so the pirates are extraordinary.

An Feng's focus is not on the life or death of the American freighter, but on the special forces deployed by the US military during the operation.

They were equipped with exoskeletons.

The special forces landed on the freighter and fought the militants in a fierce battle with the enemy in the air and sea, and won the victory without any damage and saved the hostages...... As can be seen from the deliberately released images of the official, each soldier is equipped with an exoskeleton.

This is undoubtedly the first time that the exoskeleton has been publicly unveiled in actual combat, and the effect is remarkable, far from ordinary people, the soldiers have been multiplied in terms of weight and speed, and the opponent was defeated by their tactics and firepower, and finally surrendered en masse, winning an overwhelming victory.

The rapid operation of the exoskeleton sends a signal: the American technology is very mature.

The word that comes to mind with all parts of the world is batch equipment, and since it has been verified by actual combat and the effect is excellent, then batch equipment will be sooner or later. Recently, Raytheon's stock has started to rise, and there are also rumors that they are about to get an order for exoskeleton equipment from the U.S. government.

I thought that after the exoskeleton prototype appeared, it would take several years to perfect. However, it has only been on the market for a few months, and it has been used immediately in anti-terrorism activities, and it has achieved very satisfactory results. At the same time, the countries with the conditions have more or less stepped up the research and development.

It was at this lively moment that another piece of news came out.

Exoskeletons were also shown in Japan.

As if they were following the United States to show off, their exoskeletons have no connection with the U.S. military. The appearance similarity is not high, but the basic principle is the same, among the three cores, the power system and the battery are, only the chip is independently developed, and the feedback is not agile enough.

The Japanese are proud to claim that they have also mastered the art of exoskeletons, and that they have not been granted or purchased from the United States. As if that wasn't enough to enjoy. They list more exoskeleton applications, not only for the military, but also for commercial use.

An Feng determined that the lost information fell into the hands of the Japanese at the least.

Now it was lively, the Americans claimed that they were slapped in the face for their skills that were decades ahead of the world, and what was even more uncomfortable was Japan's neighbors, and South Korea had been unhappy with them since ancient times, and this time it was also customary. China is the same. In particular, the emergence of Japanese exoskeletons has invisibly brought a lot of pressure.

Although it is difficult for individual equipment to affect the overall situation of the war. The bombing and sinking of the Japanese island was just a matter of a few salvos fired by the Second Artillery Corps, but after all, it did not develop to the point of a fish dying and the net was broken, and although it was cool to humanely destroy a nation, the people of the whole world watched it -- unless Japan itself did its own death.

Therefore, the competition is concentrated at a lower level, and the landing operation of seizing the island must at least have armored tanks and soldiers, right? The importance of individual soldiers is self-evident. Although it did not happen, the combat effectiveness was calculated. Simulating it on the computer can also make a difference in the win, not to mention that it is the trend of the future.

The exoskeleton has appeared in two countries, and An Feng feels that the time is ripe, but he still has no good way, if he goes to give favors himself. There is definitely a suspicion of intelligence brokers, not to mention that after the appearance of exoskeleton technology, the US Congress has agreed that its export is protected.

After thinking about it, it is easy to deal with it in the UK.

I'm afraid that several other countries will have to give it away for free...... Anyway, An Feng doesn't want to be bothered by this bit of, so give it away for nothing.

……

In mid-May, An Feng brought Joanna to England.

There were several purposes for this time: to convene a meeting of shareholders of BOGE to elect the members of the board of directors; followed by the team, Liverpool's change of hands is a foregone conclusion, and the price is currently unnegotiable; In the end, he hoped to get the exoskeleton thing done, and then quietly give it to the big powers.

As the second largest city in the United Kingdom, Birmingham is an important industrial city in the United Kingdom and played an important role in the Industrial Revolution, but after the new century, just like the overall decline of Britain, industry is also declining, the once colorful and diverse has disappeared, and the factories everywhere are also gone, one by one is in transformation.

But even so, Birmingham is still an industrial center, the emergence of the British machinery company, the emergence of the new army, let the British see the dawn of traditional industrial technology, and then the Berg company, heralding the development of mobile phone manufacturing in this land, is also surprising their plans.

The employees of the machinery company are all locals, and maybe the British in other fields are not good, but there are many traditional people in the industrial city, and with the technical assistance provided by the robot company, it is easy to rise to the top. The company's executives are experienced and are now on the right track and developing slowly.

Especially after the emergence of exoskeletons, the precision booster system used by Americans and Japanese has become an important way for the company to start its signboard, and in turn it has received orders for medical and industrial machinery.

An Feng's focus this time is not on the mechanical company - theoretically, the mechanical company has nothing to do with him, he has no shares, and the company's shares are all in the robot company, Joanna and the foundation. His aim was to attend the founding ceremony of BOGE and to participate in several promotional receptions.

For this form of dealing with characters from all sides, although the environment is elegant and the characters are glamorous, it can't hide its essence - worshipping the mountain.

Franson and Bazel, as shareholders, are preparing for these cumbersome social fields and building good relationships with people from all walks of life, such as manufacturers of parts needed to manufacture mobile phones...... In addition, there are mayors, parliamentarians and trade union representatives, all of whom are in attendance. As a major shareholder, Joanna naturally has to make an appearance, and she is familiar.

An Feng became a supporting role in a low-key manner, and basically accompanied her.

Joanna copes with this kind of scene very well, she is a pre-graduate in business, and her business ability is a few streets better than An Feng. It's just that she usually does not care about being a low-key boss, of course, because the directors of Anfeng Company have a lot of backgrounds, a lot of doctors and masters, and she is just a novice with a high degree of education.

Now it's different, she's the majority shareholder, plus the interim chairman.

She was proud to chat with some of the suppliers that Bazel had introduced. The business list can basically be determined, which also has an important integrated metal shell for mobile phones, and the company can't do it by itself to create this kind of thing, so it has to place orders with other suppliers and provide them in batches.

After a few sips of wine, Joanna was immersed in the joy of success: "Do you think I am the right boss?" ”

"It's okay." An Feng said that it is estimated that she is bored, and after studying for so many years, she finally has a platform to show her style.

"You're there. The odds are even higher. She said.

"For what?" An Feng asked.

"As the chairman, you must have a bodyguard who is not smiling and is close to protection." She smiled and said, "How's it going, honey?" ”

An Feng shook his head and smiled, and then Fransen walked over.

"Mr. An, I have something to discuss with you." Franson asked.

"Please." An Feng nodded.

"There are two guys from BAE Systems here who want to talk to you about something. I wonder if I'm interested? Franson asked, "They found out about you here through my friends' connections." If you don't want to be disturbed, I can ask them to leave. ”

"BAE Systems?" An Feng didn't understand.

Franson explained: "BAE Systems is the largest arms dealer in the United Kingdom, and one of the top few in the world, a very large company, from military and civilian aircraft, to original weapons. Missiles, military machinery are involved. Sales markets have been opened in both Europe and the Americas. ”

An Feng didn't know him, but nodded: "I want to know them too." ”

"I'll introduce you." Franson smiled and left, quickly bringing two guys in suits and leather shoes and introducing them to each other.

Among them, the middle-aged man named Smith shook hands with An Feng: "Mr. An." Nice to see you. We've always wanted to talk to you, but unfortunately you don't often show up in the UK, so you can only rely on friends to connect and come here to talk to you about some business. ”

"What is it?" An Feng felt that this person was quite polite.

Fransen glanced at them and said goodbye: "You talk first, I'll do the other things." ”

Smith looked at An Feng and Joanna and said, "Mr. and Mrs. should be the actual controllers of the British Machinery and Power Company, right?" ”

"That's right, publicly." An Feng said.

"We don't mean to be offended." Smith smiled, "I just want to further cooperate with you on miniaturized booster systems, and develop you into a supplier of components on military projects." In addition, we will also provide you with a lot of orders related to machinery. ”

An Feng looked at him: "Do you want to order parts similar to Raytheon?" ”

"Yes." Smith didn't beat around the bush, "BAE Systems intends to develop a mechanical exoskeleton and contract the construction of individual equipment in the UK. We would like to cooperate with your company. As far as I know, exoskeletons first appeared on the shareholders of mechanical companies, robotics companies. ”

"But our secrets were stolen, and then the development of exoskeletons was stopped, and the United States has now imposed export restrictions on this," An Feng said. ”

Smith threw out the bid code: "Goods are prohibited from being exported, but talent will not be restricted." Suffice it to say, we have a government background, we are able to maintain sufficient confidentiality in our cooperation, we will not divulge privacy, and we will be paid well, and we only need to sign a secret agreement in private. ”

An Feng smiled: "Do you know the way?" I'm not short of money. ”

Smith had also investigated An Feng before, and the super-rich naturally would not lack this money, and then he followed to play the emotional card: "Mrs. An is a British citizen, and her family has made great contributions to the country in history, I don't think she will see her country weaken." ”

"Please don't use me to influence my husband's decision, Mr. Smith." Joanna interrupted him, a little serious in her tone.

"I'm sorry, ma'am!" Smith said, "If you think patriotism deserves an apology!" ”

Joanna's face was not good-looking, and An Feng said: "Sir, you didn't understand what I meant, I said that I am not short of money." ”

Smith thought about it, he was a smart man, and his life was nothing more than a desire for fame and profit. If there is no shortage of money, there is a lack of fame, and Mrs. An is obviously from a noble background, but she is married to an ordinary person...... "Mr. Ann is also a citizen of the Commonwealth and can be awarded medals and knighthoods. ”

"I'm sorry, I personally don't value the ban." An Feng shook his head, "Cooperation is possible, but it can be ...... for the ladies who contribute."

Smith gets to the point: "I get it, but it's easier. (To be continued......)
