Chapter 24: Ice and Snow Rose
Just when Weiss quickly sorted out his thoughts and was about to "take over", the big boss changed the topic:
"Alright, let's get down to business. The sniper rifle you reported to the bidding committee...... The performance parameters are said to be very good, and the authorities of the committee are very interested in this, in fact, the two sniper rifles reported from us have also been affirmed by the committee. Judging from the news we have gotten so far, our three sniper rifles are the most promising to be selected as military standard sniper rifles, which fully shows the technical advantages of our Grumman Group in the firearms manufacturing industry, which is a good thing to be happy about! ”
Every word and every key wording that the big boss said, Weiss listened carefully and thought carefully, and the more he went on, the more he felt that the Grumman Group executives were interested in his Dragon sniper rifle design and had a plan.
The cheap dad didn't say anything, but calmly drank the tea.
"According to our agreement, the Clumber-Haysom family has joined the Grumman Group as a whole, and we are all members of one family, both de jure and de facto, and we can work closely together with each other. So...... For the sake of enhancing the reputation of the Grumman Group in the industry, but also for the sake of win-win interests, we hope that the Clumber-Haysom family will provide us with the complete design of the new sniper rifle, and we will provide you with a third of the profits from this order. As soon as the agreement is signed, the design is handed over, and we immediately pay a deposit of 2 million kroner. If we do not win the bid, the 2 million kroner will be regarded as technical compensation provided by us unilaterally. It's definitely a sure-fire deal for you guys! ”
After listening to the last sentence, Weiss clearly felt his heart beat faster. 2 million kroner is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, which will allow the Clumber-Heisen family to carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the infrastructure and machinery of the gun factory, so that it can keep up with the pace of development in the era of great industrialization while maintaining traditional technology...... In other words, this is an opportunity that will change the fate of the Clumber-Haysen family. If you reject the personal proposal of the big boss of the Grumman Group, then it is conceivable that in the next bidding and even the subsequent production stage, it will be obstructed or even sabotaged by this military industrial giant in every way, so that the road to saving the Clumber-Haysom family will be much more tortuous and difficult!
"How?" The big boss looked at Weiss's cheap dad expectantly, and then at Weiss.
As the heir of the Clumber-Haytham family and the designer of the Dragon sniper rifle, Weiss certainly has a say in the decision to sell or not, but considering that he knows little about the head of the Grumman Group, and does not understand the ambition and character of this industrial giant, he did not speak rashly, but waited for the cheap daddy to make a statement.
"O dragon, weren't you still talking about the 'Garden of Heaven' and what beautiful flowers are blooming at this season? It's a rare opportunity, go and see it! I'm here to talk to Mr. President, and when we're done, we'll go down together. ”
Cheap Daddy's words made it clear that he didn't want Weiss to get involved, and without waiting for Weiss to speak, he said to the big boss with a rare black humor: "Now that the Clumber-Haysom family has joined the big camp of the Grumman Group, our family heir should be qualified to go up and have a look, and he doesn't have to spend money to buy tickets, right?" ”
The big boss looked up and smiled: "Of course! As long as you are a direct member of the Klumber-Haysen family, you can come at any time! There will be absolutely no problems! ”
I like to use the word "absolutely" very much, indicating that he is a person with very strong self-confidence, and is estimated to be a tyrant in the Grumman Group. The more this is the case, the more you must not go against your wishes, otherwise there is a chance that you will be retaliated against.
Thinking that the cheap father's style of dealing with people is still relatively stable and reliable, Weiss got up and said, "Then I'll leave first!" ”
The big boss of Grumman Group smiled and made a "please" gesture.
Under the gaze of two middle-aged and elderly people, Weiss left the ridiculously large office with his head held high, his chest straight, and his vigorous steps.
Taking the "antique elevator" operated by a special person, Weiss went from the 68th floor to the 69th floor.
The first impression of the "Paradise Garden", which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, is nothing more than a large greenhouse built on the top floor. Under this huge pyramid-shaped glass cover, there are no rockeries, no waterfalls, no pavilions, no walls, no birds and animals, only trees, shrubs, vines, herbs, flowers...... A wide variety of plants are scattered throughout the garden. Fortunately, they do not exist in isolation, but are matched and embellished with each other, outlining a cheerful pastoral scene.
Walking along the colourful gravel paths with admiration, Weiss saw many of the flowers and trees that are commonplace on earth, as well as some new plants, such as roses with translucent flowers, and broad-leaved shrubs adorned with pink flower bones.
Weiss was crouching in the bushes, gazing with interest at the never-before-seen flowers, when suddenly he heard a sound like a silver bell coming from the bushes.
"Come and see, this is the first 'crystal flower' that bloomed this year, so beautiful and beautiful!"
In an instant, Weiss had a slightly drunken feeling. Crisp, soft, and pleasant, this is what people call "the sound of nature"?
Then, another female voice with full sound quality and full of breath came: "If it is really the first flower, come, take it off, put it on your head, and your wonderful love will come soon!" ”
"Don't! Sister! Shall I give it to you? The tone of the "heavenly sound" was shy and playful, and Weiss's heart trembled for a while.
"I don't need it!" Another voice said, "When I want to get married one day, I will post a marriage notice in the college, and in less than ten minutes, the people queuing up to sign up can at least go around the playground!" ”
"Really!" "But in that case, you will definitely be confused, what if you don't pay attention to pick a good-looking and useless one?" ”
"Rest assured, the one who can conquer me must be a wise and indomitable hero, eh...... Surely a great hero like General Castillier! ”
"Oh, that's bad, people say that General Castillier is a great hero once in a century, and if you have to wait for the next hero to be compared to General Castillier, won't you have to wait for thirty or forty years? But when you're an old woman in your sixties and seventies, who would marry a slow-walking woman? ”
"Okay, you're making fun of me! See how I clean you up! ”
"Oh, my sister spares her life!"
"Look where you're going, hey......"
This last syllable came to an abrupt end with the dull sound of objects colliding. When the parties came back to their senses, they found that they were in the position of the woman sitting on and the man lying down, and it was very unfortunate that they were touching the waist and hips......
Weiss looked at the "heroine" who jumped over the bush and bumped into herself. She has the three-dimensional facial features of a typical British beauty, thin willow curved eyebrows, deep dimpled eyes, sharp nose, full and plump lips, coupled with sharp eyes, capable short hair, and straight military uniform, the whole is a heroic and picturesque beauty, and her temperament is as cold as frost!
