An Feng saw that he was full of confidence, so he asked, "I'm curious where your confidence comes from?" β
"As the largest defense contractor in the country, our company has a close relationship with the Ministry of Defense and has provided countless military equipment to the country, so most of the officials in the Ministry of Defense are familiar with us, and the Minister of Defense is a member of the Prime Minister's Cabinet and the Conservative Party," Smith said with a smile. β
An Feng still half-understood.
In order to convince him, Smith continued: "Sir, if you have enough time, we can explain in detail. β
An Feng agreed: "Okay. β
Smith said: "Recently, there has been a lot of uproar about exoskeletons in the United States, which has made many people see the power of new technologies, especially in the United Kingdom, after citizens learned through the Internet that the power booster system was made in the United Kingdom, some people questioned the government why there was no mechanical exoskeleton." β
An Feng listened to him say a lot, to put it simply, it was to curry favor with the voters and keep his seat.
Since the United Kingdom is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, unlike the United States, the head of state is always the king, and the head of government is elected by the largest party, not an election. The Conservative Party is currently the ruling party in the United Kingdom, and its party leader is elected prime minister. The Prime Minister's Cabinet, on the other hand, is mostly from the same party, so it is all grasshoppers on the same line, and they share the same hatred in order to gain the approval of the voters.
The prime minister is not elected by the voters, but the members of the parliament are decided by the voters, and if the voters lose their trust, the number of seats in the parliament will be reduced, and if they are overtaken by other parties, they will lose their position as the ruling party. So the preferences of the electorate are the most important, and it is necessary for them to strengthen their national defense at the moment.
The cause of the incident was the stinky beauty of the Americans. Let the whole world know that they have developed a powerful exoskeleton to promote a new era of individual soldiers, which naturally affects the judgment of citizens. Thinking that this guy "can turn the war around", since it is the British company that provides the originals, then the British must also have them.
Even if the argument of "turning the war around" may seem ridiculous at the top, the voters can make you laugh, and the ruling party has to curry favor with the voters.
So the Prime Minister ordered, and the Ministry of Defense figured it out, but the defense contractor racked his brains. But they can't make it.
Eventually, through various connections, they found the real person in charge of the company.
If BAE can make an exoskeleton. The contract of the Ministry of Defense will be obtained, and the ruling party will win the favor and trust of the voters. And the position of the ruling party is firm, and the prime minister will of course repay the heroes, according to An Feng's hope. Nominated to the Queen. Issuing medals is a breeze.
After this series of complex operations, the key is the exoskeleton. Its psychological effect is greater than its actual effect, and as it stands, the government uses it to serve as a faΓ§ade and curry favor with voters, rather than equipping the military and improving its combat effectiveness. The main culprit is American propaganda.
An Feng asked: "What if the exoskeleton is built within a month?" β
Smith said knowingly: "We will sign an order with the machinery company for the booster system, if it is confirmed. We will let the Prime Minister's Cabinet know the key to the matter and nominate the meritorious person to the Queen. and then decide on the issuance of the Medal of Honor, which is estimated to be before June next year. β
An Feng said: "You let me think about it first, and give you an answer within three days." β
"We look forward to hearing from him." Smith handed his business card with both hands.
β¦β¦
An Feng said that the consideration is just a matter of planning the details.
But Joanna has one of her concerns: "Do you think Americans will be happy to see you spread your exoskeleton skills to other countries?" β
An Feng said: "The cooperation is carried out in secret. β
"But now apart from the United States, only you and your team have the ability to make this kind of thing, can guess." Joanna said.
"Don't worry, the exoskeleton has been leaked, don't forget, there is another country that has made it - Japan." An Feng gave a realistic example.
"But ......"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the details." An Feng said, "Don't you want this? β
Joanna said, "As a citizen of the country, I couldn't agree more, but as your wife, I'd be selfish and think about the rest. β
"You're overthinking, my dear." An Feng held her in his arms, "It's just a simple business, and it won't lead to any bad results." β
In fact, the most fundamental reason An Feng didn't say - whether there is a benefit or not, he has to send the technique out of the Lang, from the analysis of the structure of the equation, the strength of each other will reduce the probability of disputes, so after comprehensive consideration, he will choose to do so.
It's just that the British took the initiative to send it to the door.
β¦β¦
The manufacture of exoskeletons can be completed in two weeks with sufficient equipment and materials, and if it is in the form of mass production, it will take no more than three days on average. What An Feng can provide is the overall drawing of the test brain, as well as how to match the three core components to torture the brain cells.
Smith was surprised when he understood the whole process: "Booster systems, batteries and chips, that's what is holding us back?" β
An Feng asked rhetorically: "Do you think it's easy?" β
Smith thought about it, the current company that manufactures the booster system is rooted in the UK, and the other two are technologies that have shocked the world, which is not easy to say.
"I'm sorry." Smith corrected his mistakes.
An Feng continued to explain: "I believe that your machinery and equipment are good enough, do it according to the drawings, and then order three cores, the power system and battery are not a big problem, mainly chips, if the United States agrees to export, there will be no problem." If not, consider making your own. β
"The Americans would agree, because the booster system is in our hands," Smith said. β
When An Feng heard this, he smiled: "That's the case." β
It didn't take a day, An Feng crackled according to the drawings, and the group of technicians recorded it fiercely, and after asking the details one by one, they could be put into production immediately. An Feng completed the task and left, he didn't worry about the other party's remorse, the core was in his own hands.
After a few days in Birmingham, he returned to London after a few days of socializing.
This time, Bazel invited them to be guests, and An Feng was respectful and obedient, so he and Joanna made serious preparations. Drive to Kensington, a dozen kilometres from downtown London. The local area is a typical wealthy area, with high housing prices, but it is a bit unexpected by Anfeng.
An Feng, who slowed down the car, said: "I thought that Bazel should live in that kind of country estate. He's a baron, a true nobleman. β
Joanna said: "Maybe you have to consider the actual situation, he is a busy person, he often travels back and forth between Europe and the United States, lives far away, can he take care of the time?" β
"Perhaps." An Feng said, "If I fly around a lot." Definitely the same with him. β
During the conversation, the car came to Bazel's house.
By the standards of ordinary people, this place of Bazel has mountains and rivers. It's luxurious, but by his mother's standards, it's pretty ordinary here, to be honest.
An Feng drove the car into the house.
Bazel and her wife, as well as a housekeeper, came out to welcome her, and it was not on a small scale. But there is also a set of standards for the nobility.
Follow the rules of the guests. An Feng greeted him and his wife, Victoria, and Bazel had a daughter, but she was sent to boarding school and did not return. There is only one butler, one cook, and two henchmen. The driver is also a butler.
Bazel invited them into the house and said, "Feel free, I know you young people don't like that red tape." β
An Feng smiled: "It seems that Mr. is also from here." β
"Of course, only my mother insisted on that," Bazel said. Traditional and cumbersome, not everyone can adapt to it. Not to mention enjoyment. β
"You may be seated!" Bazel invited them to sit down, "For the education of children, I advocate a streamlined line, maintain a gentleman's and lady's set, but not be too demanding, like Joanna is perfect, and some shortcomings can be accepted, complicated and no fun." β
"I also agree that children should also have free time at their disposal." An Feng said.
Bazel said something about education, but to be honest, Anfeng doesn't have any children, and talking about these with Bazel is really a bit of a bother, but fortunately, Bazel observed the words, and changed the topic without saying a word, talking about recent fun, equestrianism and the like.
Although Bazel was more than 20 years older than An Feng, there were common topics, several people chatted until the evening, and the dinner party was held in the same way as Western guests, which took a long time, and in addition to small talk, they also talked about some business things, the development of communication companies, etc.
"According to Hart, he will arrange a very good person to manage the company, I am quite confident in him, he has a high success rate of business investment, and the selection is also very unique, if you don't have the talent you value, I recommend following his plan." Bazel said.
Joanna said: "I talked to him and agreed with him. β
Bazel looked at An Feng, An Feng smiled and said, "I have no problem, the investor is Joanna, and I am not a member of the board of directors." β
"I wish us success." Bazel raised his glass to them.
β¦β¦
Spend the day in Bazel and then head back to the city of London.
According to Goodrich's progress report, the problem of the club changing hands has been secured, and he has now given 410 million pounds to buy the team, most of which is used to pay off the team's debts, bank debts, etc., and the rest is the cash that the previous owner can get, about 80 million pounds.
In addition, he has promised an additional Β£100 million in liquidity to buy players and club operations, and the total amount of the acquisition actually reached Β£510 million, which is the highest bid so far and the most satisfying to the previous owner, and the partnership is basically no surprise.
Two days later, the official news came that the other party had agreed to sell the team.
An Feng doesn't need to prepare much, Credit Suisse's Hlandek has already helped him deal with the money, and will use the money as Joanna. Now all they need is to wait for a lawyer and a paralegal. There are also a certain number of bodyguards to deal with the curious media.
On the day of signing the contract, An Feng turned into a man in a black suit and sunglasses, and followed her closely, Joanna was dressed as a standard British lady, with a dark coat and a long skirt, wearing a hat obliquely, and lace gloves on both hands, very solemn, and at a glance, she knew that Lu Dao was a woman from an extraordinary background.
After the lawyer and the assistant confirmed that the terms were correct, the two parties formally signed the contract, shook hands after the completion of the matter, and congratulated the successful cooperation. The assistant put the contract away, and according to the contract, the money was to be transferred out of the city within three days, and the replacement of the Liverpool boss was also announced.
