Chapter 23: Meet the Big Boss
After a break of more than an hour, Weiss and his cheap dad walked into the office of the president of the Grumman Group refreshed.
This office occupies the entire 68th floor of the "Grumman Building", and it is surrounded by huge floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition to eight huge columns and two elevator lifts, the view of the room is unobstructed.
From the elevator entrance to Mr. President's desk, Weiss walked one hundred and ninety-nine steps!
When the father and son walked to the desk, the big boss of the Grumman Group, who was originally sitting behind the desk, an old man with gray hair, wearing a light gray shirt and a green plaid velvet vest, also got up and walked to the desk, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "Hey, old man, long time no see!" ”
Weiss's cheap dad replied without humility or arrogance: "Long time no see, Mr. President!" ”
The big boss smiled: "The last time we met was here, but that was a year and twenty-seven days ago. ”
Weiss's cheap dad replied: "Yes, Mr. President's memory is still so good!" ”
As the two exchanged pleasantries, Weiss looked at them quietly. The two men are of similar age and size, but one is blue-eyed and white-skinned, with a square face and pointed jaws, and the other is dark-eyed and yellow-skinned, with a full face; One has a rich expression and flamboyant movements, and the other is unsmiling and well-behaved; One has sharp eyes and is not angry and self-threatening, and the other is deep and emotionally restrained.
After chatting for a few words, the big boss turned to Weiss and stretched out his hand somewhat casually: "Hey, dragon, we meet again!" ”
Weiss, of course, didn't remember the last time the two met, so he had to say vaguely: "It's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
"Come on, come on!" The big boss warmly beckoned the father and son to sit down on the reception sofa, and he himself sat down generously, leaning comfortably on the backrest and cocking Erlang's legs.
Two maids in hats and skirts appeared at the elevator at the right time, and they pushed a small silver food cart, and after softly asking the guests' requests, they skillfully served three refreshments, and then left quickly, which lasted only two or three minutes.
The big boss picked up the porcelain teacup with extremely delicate workmanship and elegant style, and took a sip calmly and elegantly: "Not long ago, we joked that Your Excellency Lord lives in a heavenly place, and nothing will come to us on earth. Unexpectedly, a bid for a standard sniper rifle with a total order of no more than 6,000 pieces will invite you to move. ”
Weiss's cheap dad raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "What happened to Somsonas, there is really nothing to hide from Mr. President." Also, there are too many things that need to be worried about by the president himself, no wonder it feels a lot older in recent years. ”
Instead of getting angry, the big boss of the Grumman Group laughed heartily: "The Lord is right, we worldly people are such mediocre people every day, worrying about this and worrying about that, and there is never a day when we are truly free and relaxed. ”
"But why bother?" Cheap Daddy sighed, "We're all mediocre people!" ”
The big boss raised his head and took a deep breath: "That's right, we're all mediocre people!" No matter how hard you try, you won't live to be 100 years old, and you will eventually have to be buried in the soil, turned into dry bones, and fed back to nature. ”
Having said that, Daddy Cheap's efforts are to prevent the family industry that has lasted for more than 200 years from completely declining, while Mr. President's efforts are for business expansion, to occupy more often, and to make more money, and the two are still different in nature.
Thinking of this, Weiss was indignant, and he narrowed his eyes, wanting to see if the battle value of this Grumman Group boss was different, or if it was the same as ordinary people. Unexpectedly, what popped out of sight was a red box, this color clearly means that the other party is hostile to you! What's going on?
This unexpected situation made Weiss's head a little messy, but at this time, the big boss set his eyes on himself: "The future is your young people after all, the sooner you grow up and take on the big responsibilities as soon as possible, we old men can retire early!" Sometimes, I still envy you, my lord, and your sons and daughters are much more worry-free than my children. ”
Cheap Daddy looked at Weiss, in the past, he didn't have the face to accept this, but since Weiss returned from training, he successfully took over the "baking" skills, not to mention, he miraculously developed a dragon-style sniper rifle, he seemed to be a dead wood in spring, and the spirit of the whole person has been greatly boosted.
"I heard...... Is the design you are bidding for this time a masterpiece of dragons? When the big boss said this, he looked at Weiss twice, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Weiss was muttering in his heart that the fundamental principle of the friend or foe identifier is brain wave detection, which can detect the mental content of organisms that are not defended in this regard, so as to judge whether they are friend or foe. When I first encountered the big white bear, it was clear that it wanted to eat itself, so the display of the friend or foe identifier was red, and the white wolf was also red, and Luke and the big tall team of Federation soldiers saved themselves, and there was no malicious intent, so the display was green, and then the Norman sniper was encountered, which was the enemy who wanted to put himself to death, so it was displayed red, and all the judgments were correct. Could it be ...... The big boss of the Grumman Group also has the heart to take his own life? Just because the sniper rifle of their own design is enough to squeeze out their bidding plan and make them lose this business of "no more than 6,000 orders"?
"yes!" "It's also amazing," replied the Cheap Daddy, "for we in the Clumber-Haytham family have a rule that when the heir of the family reaches adulthood, he must complete certain tasks on his own, so as to hone his mind and exercise his courage. A while ago, taking advantage of the New Year's holiday of the military academy, Long went to challenge these tasks, and after coming back, he was more than ten years old, and I was impressed by what he did. ”
"Oh? What kind of tasks are they? The big boss looked very interested.
"In the city of Somsonas, it's almost a secret." Cheap Daddy turned his head to look at Weiss, "Dragon, come on!" ”
Weiss smiled slightly, and laid out the things listed on the piece of paper in concise language.
After hearing this, the big boss of the Grumman Group clapped his hands and said, "Interesting! Very interesting! ”
Weiss didn't think he was genuinely complimenting, since even the Clumber-Haysom family's deliberate secret could be heard clearly at the first time, how could he not know this kind of situation that even the roadside aunt knew?
So he said: "As long as the soldiers are highly trained, most of them can successfully complete these tasks." ”
"Oh! I'm not referring to the tasks themselves, but rather to say that the changes that happen to you are interesting. The big boss looked at Weiss with a strange look.
Weiss suddenly felt a thrill in his heart: this guy is a military industrial giant of the Ulster Federation, and he must have a lot to do with the military, if he knows the travel time of his "mountain cultivation" and the battle that took place in the Monamolin Mountains, it is not difficult to connect the two, the key is how much he knows......
