Fokker won the first place in the second round of rankings, and Anthony Falk was happy with the small and medium-sized business owners around him, but the other competitors were not happy. Because Fokker was not familiar with the situation of the army's weapons and equipment, the practice of testing the water in the first round made other companies not expect that Fokker would win the first place in the second round, and the third round of bidding became a complete mystery. Why? Because Krupp actually has spare strength, everyone knows it in their hearts. The Porsche team, which is a rising force, also won the second place steadily, and it is not surprising that it may still be able to get this position in the third round. As long as you get the top three places, you may get R&D funds, so who gets the remaining third vacancy has become the most concerned thing. As a dark horse, the Rheinland company seems to have the strength to compete with Krupp for the third place, and who is more willing needs to wait for the facts to prove.

The final round of bidding papers has been sent to everyone, and the first to submit the bidding papers is Fokker Company, and Anthony Fokker is very confident that Fokker Company can get R&D funds. Adrian saw that none of the people who had left the scene and saw the determination of these people to win the order, after all, there were three places. As the most critical final round of bidding, everyone was very cautious, far from being as fast as the previous two times, looking at the scene in front of him, Adrian did not send someone to urge, but turned his head and discussed briefly with Hindenburg and Moltke Jr. The orderly, after receiving the order, trotted over to Brauchitsch and whispered a few words, Brauchitsch stood in the middle of the podium and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and when they saw this, the business owners also gave up and returned to their seats.

"Considering that the plan for this tank project is very large, the decision-making level allows everyone to submit bids before tomorrow evening. For the sake of secrecy, there will be a guard to protect your 'safety' tomorrow before you submit your bids. Brauchitsch then motioned for everyone to leave. Just as everyone was leaving, Anthony Falk was stopped by an ensign and whispered. The latter was shocked at first, and then followed the guards down a corridor to the second-floor stands of the venue with a smile on his face.

Anthony Falk first saw Quartermaster Paul von Hindenburg sitting on the outside, then Chief of the General Staff Helmutto Johannes Ludwig Moltke in the center, and finally Eric Adrian on the inside. These three people are usually not seen by him, all three of them have the rank of general, but also the title of field marshal, and they all hold many positions, if it were not for Adrian's invitation, he would have thought that this week's army arms purchase will be dominated by Walter von Brauchitsch.

Eric Adrian stood up and took the initiative to greet Fauck after seeing him, which flattered Faulk a little, he and Adrian were the same age, but their identities and status were very different, and being lucky enough to receive an invitation was something he didn't understand.

Adrian smiled and shook hands with Fakker and introduced Hindenburg and Moltke, who greeted him nervously, and the latter nodded his head in acknowledgment. For them, it is difficult for military-industrial business owners to deal with them at this level, the problem of the gap in status and status. Adrian, who led Fokker to sit on his wrong side, asked again: "Your assembly line production method can increase output by 40%?" How sure are you sure? ”

It turned out that Adrian invited Falk because he mentioned the assembly line production method in his second Q&A session, although the wording was a bit stiff, but the general meaning could be seen.

As soon as Falk heard that it was his own old question, he immediately became professional and said, "Is that so, Mr. Marshal, can I call you so?" ”

"It's okay, if you like it, you can even call me Adrian." Adrian waved his hand indifferently, although he enjoyed such a superior title, but his nature was not interested in the question of such a title.

"Good!" Faucer paused and said, "The assembly line production is actually because I spent my early years in England, and it was because..." As a result, Fakker suddenly didn't continue, and a cold snort suddenly came from the right side. Adrian could hear who made the cold snort, but he didn't pay attention to it, but patted Falk on the shoulder and said, "To get to the point, don't care about those past things." Adrian also knew a little about Fock's past. Anthony Falk was not German, but Dutch. Fokk's family did not help much in his aviation career, thanks to the Wright brothers' air exhibitions in France in the summer and autumn of 1908. Until 1910, at the age of 20, Fokker was sent by his father to Germany to be trained as a mechanic, but he was deeply influenced by the French Air Show and his interest in flying, in the same year, Fokker succeeded in building the fastest and strongest monoplane at that time, he wanted to contribute this aircraft to the army of his homeland, the Netherlands, so he flew his own small plane from Germany to the Netherlands to pay tribute to the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, but was met with a cold reception. So he turned to France, England and Russia, and the military authorities of all three countries were not interested in him. Eventually, he came to Germany, where he attracted the attention of the German military, and in 1912, he established his first company, the Fokker Aircraft Factory, near Berlin. In later years, he built various aircraft. Later, he moved the factory to Schwerin and renamed it Fokker Aircraft Fittings. That is, the later Fokker aircraft factory. There he put his ingenuity to good use and soon became recognized as the best aircraft designer in Europe.

Why the Fokker Aircraft Factory was renamed the Fokker Aircraft Assembly Factory, Adrian was not clear before, but when Fokker proposed assembly line production, he probably understood. He was confident in the speed of production at his factory, so after the Army's field project had Eric Adrian's enterprise portfolio production concept, he also wanted to get a production order for the Fokker aircraft assembly plant. Anthony Falk is young, energetic, and a person who can be in the forefront of this era, and of course understands the benefits of this kind of enterprise combination production, or how much technology sharing, and group production, are very optimistic about him. In the whole of Germany, and even in the whole world, there is no such scale and courage as the Eric Group, where all subsidiaries and absolute holding companies are under a unified administrative plan, which is very efficient and all efforts are made in one place. But such drawbacks are too obvious, and it is also the reason why others dare not do this, once any project collapses, the entire company involved in this link will not be able to escape the fate of bankruptcy and liquidation. So many people are amazed at Eric Adrian's boldness, and they are jealous of his profits, but still no one dares to learn, those who have this financial resources do not want to take risks, and those who do not have this financial resources only have ideas but have no products that can be comparable to Eric Group. As a result, the Eric Group has been sitting on the throne, and finally became the leader of the German Empire, and it is also deeply influential throughout Europe, and the company is located in Europe and the United States. It was only with the outbreak of war that the hostile countries either sealed his industry or directly confiscated it, leaving only some small companies in the Americas and some mining companies and R&D departments in Sweden, Norway, Turkey and other countries. However, they were forbidden to provide any military assistance to Germany for various reasons, including the prohibition of the company's foreign exchange funds from being used to trade with Germany.

Eric Adrian's business status is so noble, it is not difficult to understand Anthony Faulk's admiration for him.

Under Adrian's reassurance, Fokker explained the origin of the original idea of assembly line production, as well as a series of improvement measures, and finally moved to the manufacturing plant in Schwerin and changed its name. After listening to Fock's introduction, Ander Adrien reacted differently, taking Moltke Jr. and Hindenburg as examples, because they had never been in contact with the production process, so they did not understand the benefits of this, but Adrian deeply understood that this model had continued to his time. This is a very bold attempt to fundamentally change the current production process, in fact, Adrian's company is also like this, but it is reflected in the overall situation, the factory produces a certain link of products, unified transportation to the assembly plant, such as Fokker a factory internal improvement is basically not seen. This requires a lot of money and retraining of workers, and it is not difficult to understand why Fokker moved to a new place to reopen the factory to recruit workers.
