Chapter 498: $7.5 billion
Zekosky went directly to the factory director under Franji's "bewitchment", standing at the door of the office, he was still very nervous, stretched out his hand, retracted it again, and rubbed the sweat stains on the palm of his hand.
Chirping~
Suddenly, I saw that the door was opened from the inside out, and there was an old man with a figure of no less than 190 pounds standing inside, wearing glasses, and the other party was obviously stunned when he saw Zekosky, but he soon came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and called out his name very gently, "Zekosky, is there something wrong?" ”
This old man has been in this machine shop for more than 20 years!
Deeply loved by the whole factory, he has experienced the madness of the hairy bear period, and he has also experienced the humility of the hairy bear when it collapsed, but when the man shed tears, his eyes were full of despair for this society, and his heart ached, just as he was about to kill himself, it was the people in the factory who stopped him, and Zekosky still remembered the old man crying.
"No, all of it is gone!"
That expression was suffocating.
"Zekosky?" Seeing that the other party did not respond, the factory director shouted twice, and stretched out his hand to gently retreat from the other party, Zekosky came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized, the factory director smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to sit down first and speak slowly.
Zekoski was nervous, his hands constantly pounding his knees.
The factory director poured him a cup of coffee, sat down across from him, and put his hands crossed in front of him, "Is there any difficulty?" ”
"No, no, no." Zekosky's typical science and engineering man, who is not very strong in language expression, took a few deep breaths before trying to say his intentions, "I want to apply for a fund to develop weapons." He kept observing the other party as he spoke, and when he saw that the factory director's brows were tight, he was also nervous, and hurriedly said, "I only need to use the factory's equipment, and my drawings have already been drawn." ”
The factory director looked surprised, "Oh? You've been prepared for a long time? ”
"I just... Just want to work on a rifle yourself. Zekoski stammered.
"That's good, you can show me the drawings, isn't it." The factory director suddenly slapped himself on the forehead, "Not now." ”
“???”
Zekosky had a greeting on his head.
The factory director smiled and patted his hands, "There are about 30 lists in the company that can go to the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden for further study, and our machinery factory can get about 3 places, I plan to let you and Frankie go, or do you go to study first?" ”
Zekoski doesn't know how to describe his mood now, this scientist from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden is not worried about not having a job, and a third of the country's engineers have graduated from this university, but he actually doesn't really want to go, he is afraid that he will not be able to accept the idea there.
As if seeing his worries, the factory director comforted, "The current era needs more knowledge, we can't just stay in one place, we have to think about the bigger world, knowledge is the driving force that pushes us forward, what do you say?" ”
This era is different, many famous firearms and weapons designers were not professional professionals, such as: textile factory manager (Whitney), typewriter repairman (Remington), lawyer (Barrett), hunter (Browning), tankman (Kalashnikov), salesman (Kyle Gren), no, this should be called an account manager.
And, of course, the medics: Gatling.
Although it was the times that made them, it is also the times that have ended them.
The factory director pointed to his brain, "Knowledge, power!" ”
Zekoski is still young, he has a lot of time for research and development in the future, and what he needs is to lay the foundations of the building and wait for the moment when the layers will be stacked.
"I'll go!" Zekoski raised his head and nodded very firmly.
The factory director smiled with relief and took out an application form from the drawer, "Fill it out, kid, believe in yourself." ”
……
Of course, not everyone can get into KTH KTH in Sweden.
But the savior can, because the company has money.
And it is not necessary to have a diploma, but to study, and to let the tutor train their knowledge, for this reason, the savior company is willing to pay 1 million US dollars a year in sponsorship, and if the students who graduate from this college can be given priority, the reason why this is chosen is because relatively speaking, there are fewer political factors, and it will not bring too much pressure to the trainers.
If the expected results are good, Tang Dao is also ready to cooperate with more schools to provide more high-quality talents to the company.
Anyway, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
At this time, Tang Dao was receiving distinguished guests from Lockheed! 、
Barry. Lewis, the vice president of Lockheed, no, should I say the first vice president, he managed to put his opponent, the Jew who could only do business, in prison, he now has more power, and he came to bring good news to Tang Dao as well.
"In Lockheed's partnership program, the Savior Company is the first priority, and, for the sake of friendship, we can give you an F16 production line, but you need to pay 7.5 billion dollars! This is the lowest price ever sought. "Barry. Lewis looked at Tang Dao, he hesitated and said, "Can you eat it?" This cake is too big, you are the only private company to buy F16 fighters, and the pressure on the same parties is also the greatest. ”
7.5 billion US dollars is really unbearable for Tang Dao, and his own worth does not add up to that much.
"Can it be staged?" Tang Dao asked, "I can give interest." ”
Barry. Lewis also knew that the other party couldn't take out the money, so he nodded, "Of course you can, but it can only be divided into 3 years at most." ”
"5 years! 3 years is too short. Tang Dao was not polite and directly stretched out a slap.
Although he doesn't have that much money, the main thing to lengthen the installment date is a sense of security.
In this world, it is not the people who make money that have the most sense of security, but the more money they owe, the more people they owe, the more people they owe, and the last thing you want to happen to you is your creditor, which of those listed companies has no debt?
If Tang Dao is targeted one day for indescribable reasons, I'm afraid that the most nervous person is Lockheed, and he will definitely try his best to save him.
Barry. Lewis refused to give up here, and must ask for three years, and finally both sides took a step back, stuck at the point of four years, stipulating that the Savior Company would pay the loan within four years, and the first batch of funds needed to be in place within two months, a total of 1.87 billion US dollars.
And Tang Dao has also done a good job of diluting the equity or establishing another subsidiary to specialize in the production of F16 and absorb other funds, of course, mainly for acquaintances, such as Angliev in Ukraine and Mr. Charlie in Boston or Mr. Bill in South Africa, etc., these people will definitely have ideas.
Of course, the specific operation, Tang Dao has to think carefully.
Lockheed needs to send another 20 engineers to run for the Savior, and of course, the latter will need to pay for the salary.
"Have you figured out where to build it?" Barry. Lewis was curious.
"Zaire, my factory has already started construction, and it will be completed in almost four months."
Tang Dao still thinks that this place is good, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the most important thing is that no one is stuck, and it is very convenient to find a buyer here.
Barry. Lewis was only slightly surprised by Tang Dao's location, but he didn't say anything else, some things were not suitable to say, and the relationship between friends between businessmen was more focused on asking less and perfunctory to each other.
The two talked about something again, and Tang Dao pulled Barry. Lewis had lunch together.
