Chapter 1454: Robinson Plans to Surrender?
"Hello Mr. Robinson, congratulations on getting the largest order from this year's U.S. police helicopter procurement, and Robinson has made a lot of money this year, right? Quite a few words" For this kind of person who came to show goodwill, Jill naturally had no reason to show others a straight face, and after shaking hands with this guy, he said.
Robinson? Police Helicopter Procurement? Hearing Jill's words, Zhang Lan's mind quickly flashed the name of a person and a company: Robinson Helicopter Company of the United States. This is an almost mythical helicopter company that has set manufacturing and sales records in the history of American aircraft.
Well, even Robinson Helicopters' products are sold very cheaply, and it is better to sell dozens of them than others to sell one, but the key is that they sell more and have fewer members of the company.
Speaking of which, Alice Group also has some to do with Robinson Helicopter Company, last year Alice Group launched two helicopters, many people think that they are imitations of Robinson Helicopter Company R22 and R44, although Alice Aircraft Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. These two aircraft, whether in the power system or hydraulic system, or on-board electronic system, have huge advantages.
But helplessly, Robinson Helicopters' two helicopters are too successful, to some extent, and even have become the world's measurement of ultralight helicopters and ultralight police helicopters, many people when buying helicopters, the first choice to compare objects, is Robinson Helicopters' R22 two-seater helicopter and R44 four-seater helicopter.
In the same way, many people will involuntarily compare the two helicopters of Alice Group with the helicopters of Robinson Helicopter Company after seeing these two helicopters of Alice Group, which is really embarrassing for Alice Group, which has strong strength and technical force, has always existed as a benchmark for others, and even has the right to set standards for related industries in the world.
Although this year, in order to "thank" the Alice Group for helping the US government solve the most serious diplomatic incident between China and the United States since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the US government placed an order for hundreds of A-2 and A-4 police helicopters to Alice Aircraft Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd., but the largest order was still taken away by Robinson Helicopter Company. Robinson Helicopters got the biggest piece of the pie.
But despite this, Alice Group is still regarded as their biggest competitor by Robinson Helicopter Company, because the strength of Alice Group is too strong, Robinson Helicopter Company only has a helicopter product, and the product structure is too single, but on the other hand, Alice Group is already a super giant across almost all industries such as electronics, industrial manufacturing, finance, medicine, IT, semiconductors, etc., compared with Alice Group, Robinson Helicopter Company is equivalent to a toddler baby, A mess of weak strength.
However, this is not the reason why Jill and Zhang Lan despise Robinson Helicopter Company, Robinson Helicopter Company can fight a bloody way among so many helicopter manufacturing companies in the world, naturally it is not an easy generation, and it can even be said that if it is not for the fact that Robinson Helicopter Company was established too late and the market competition is too fierce, it can even become no inferior to Boeing Helicopter Manufacturing Company, European Defense Group Company Helicopter Manufacturing Company, The existence of such world-class helicopter manufacturing and R&D companies as the Miri Design Bureau and the Karnov Design Bureau. The only thing that limits Robinson Helicopters is just time. …,
There is no way for anyone not to maintain enough respect for such an existence.
"Where, where," in the face of Jill's compliment, the Mr. Robinson in front of him, seemed to be a little flattered, and hurriedly said to Jill, "Miss Jill, you have won the award, compared to the Alice Group, we Robinson still have a lot to learn." ”
Zhang Lan smiled and didn't speak, this guy found Jill so diligently, I'm afraid he had other plans, right? Otherwise, with the two companies being direct competitors, Mr. Robinson seemed to have no reason to grovel to himself and Jill.
Sure enough, Zhang Lan had just thought of this, and this Mr. Robinson had already continued what he had just said, "Miss Jill, please forgive me for taking the liberty of going to the side and talking in detail?" ”。
Hey, that's the case, nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace! Zhang Lan smiled in her heart: I just don't know what medicine this guy sells in his gourd?
"Of course," Jill nodded, raising her hand lightly and making a gesture of invitation to Robinson, "Let's come over here." ”
Robinson, who did not bring a female companion, was definitely another alternative to this banquet venue, but Robinson, who did not bring a female companion, was convenient to talk to Jill about the next issues at this time, and if he brought a female companion, then no matter how much Robinson wanted to talk to Jill about some problems, it would not be solemn enough. The three of them came to a relatively secluded corner and sat down, and after each taking a glass of wine, Jill reached out to Robinson and motioned, "Mr. Robinson?" ”
It means that Robinson said, "Sir, there's something you can say right now." Robinson is not a fool and understands this very well.
Jill was just such a casual gesture that easily dominated the conversation.
Robinson twisted slightly uncomfortably in order to make himself more comfortable, but even these high-end sofas on the scene still did not alleviate any discomfort for Robinson, sitting on the soft sofa, Robinson still felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he didn't expect that even if he had done his homework before, but when facing Alice, he still felt such a heavy pressure in front of this charming beauty. The pressure brought by Jill even made Robinson feel a slight tightness in his chest.
At this moment, Robinson knew that things might be going bad, but now he wanted to leave? It's completely impossible.
"Ahem," Robinson finally spoke, after simmering his emotions and making himself as comfortable as possible, "Miss Jill, that's right, we want to buy your company's patent for the all-ceramic engines used in your two helicopters. ”
Well? Zhang Lan and Jill were stunned at the same time: how could Robinson be such a request? If they make such a request, wouldn't that mean that the Robinson Company has raised a white flag for the Alice Group?
When the whole world saw Robinson Helicopter as a pioneer against Alice Aircraft Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd., but this pioneer actually raised the white flag and surrendered when everyone had high hopes for them, and even their opponents were deeply wary of them?! Is there anything more comical in this world than this? If Robinson's words had gotten out, the whole world would have jaws and eyeballs that were all sorts of colors, and the children would be able to pick up the balls and play with them.
Zhang Lan and Jill looked at each other stupidly: Which one is this Robinson singing? Why can't I understand it? Want to buy your own all-ceramic engine? Isn't their own turbocharged four-cylinder aviation internal combustion engine already a model of price-performance among ultralight aero engines? Why did you suddenly think of buying our technology patents? …,
Zhang Lan and Jill know very well that if Robinson Helicopter can buy its own patent for an all-ceramic aero engine, it will be equivalent to invisibly helping themselves to make a publicity, which is equivalent to telling the world that Alice Group's helicopters are the best, their aero engines are also the best, and even Robinson Helicopters, the world's most recognized manufacturer in the field of ultralight helicopter manufacturing, use their engines.
This is a huge intangible wealth for Alice Group.
As for the technology of ceramic engines, although Alice Group will not sell them patents, it is not a problem to sell finished products to them, sell them parts for assembly or even license them to use, anyway, as long as the material formula of the all-ceramic engine is in their own hands, everything else is a minor problem.
But the crux of the matter is, why would Robinson Helicopter make such a self-serving request? You know, Alice Aircraft Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. has even developed a whole set of plans to compete with Robinson Helicopter Company around the world, but just when Alice Aircraft Manufacturing Group Co., Ltd. was ambitiously preparing to fight Robinson Helicopter Company, the damn Robinson Helicopter Company actually withered on its own!?
Robinson actually has his own suffering, and the consequences of their actions, Robinson himself is a fool, how can he not be clear? Logically speaking, among the ultralight helicopters, Robinson Helicopter's power system should be the best, not only full of power, but also because it is an internal combustion engine, rather than the expensive turboshaft engine commonly used in helicopters, so the maintenance of the engine and the whole machine is very convenient, and the cost of later use is very low, which has always been Robinson Helicopter Company proud.
But when Alice Group launched its own ultralight helicopter, for Robinson Helicopter Company, everything changed, Robinson Helicopter Company was keenly aware of the two helicopter products of Alice Group, and the direct target was its own company's two-seat R22 and four-seat R44 two ultralight helicopter .......
