Chapter 316: Filling in the Gaps
Entering the guest room on the second floor, Ferdinand suddenly seemed to be a different person, without the frivolous behavior of drinking just now, and the face of a shrewd businessman was quickly revealed. Lehard was very surprised by this, it is terrible for a person who can play many roles at the same time, and such a young and promising person must be a genius comparable to that of the current president.
Le Hold is staying in one of the best hotels in Dresden, and this hotel is also inseparable from the Eric Group, so Ferdinand is all too familiar with it. When the two entered the room, they sat down on the sofa by the window.
This room is Ferdinand's second office in Dresden, and it is relatively lavishly furnished and furnished, but every item is very functional, which is Ferdinand's favorite style at this age.
Lehard looked out the window and found that the room he was staying in was across the street from this one, because he saw the handbag in his room. Ferdinand turned on all the lights in the room, took out a large set of keys to open the closet, took out a rough roll of paper from it, and removed the items on the small round table to open the paper roll.
"This is the drawing of the customer's design, right?" Lehard, a designer himself, is very familiar with paper of this material.
"Yes, Mr. Lehard, you might as well guess what kind of design drawings these are." Ferdinand stopped, seemingly intent on showing off in front of Lehard.
Lehard smiled and shook his head honestly. Let him guess how many valuable things are in this house, maybe he is not a layman, but it is really difficult for him to guess the various materials of the Eric Group, because the industry of the Eric Group is more than 10 million, almost all-inclusive, although the drawings in front of him are not expensive things, but in addition to the drawings, the nature of the materials is unknown.
Ferdinand was quite proud, and pressed the drawings with paperweights, and at this time, the design of the ships was revealed, and the weapon platforms and living quarters were also visible at a glance.
"Mr. Ferdinand, isn't this a naval cruiser that has already passed a formal tender?" Lehard was taken aback.
Ferdinand knew that Lehard was an expert and a smart man, and such drawings were relatively simple and could be understood at a glance.
"Call me John, I'll call you Heinrich, I like simplicity. These design drawings are all drawings of naval ships that have already started construction. However, there are still some blanks, and I wonder if Mr. Lehard will have the confidence to 'draw' them and fill in those blanks. Ferdinand pointed to a few blank spaces in the design and told Lehard to think about it, of course, he couldn't show such drawings at will.
Obviously, these weapons have not yet been officially tendered, and the reason why Ferdinand asked Lehard to look at the drawings first was to give him a way to think about countermeasures in advance, and at the same time to give him more time and advantage than Krupp when designing.
Lehard, who never left the pen and paper, pulled the two items out of his pocket and glanced at Ferdinand inquiringly, asking for his opinion, because he wanted to record the data in the blank space. Ferdinand smiled and said, "Of course, I just want you to record it well, so that you can prepare for negotiation, bidding, and bidding in advance." ”
Lehard was so happy that he got busy on the small round table.
After the festive banquet, Lehard lost his sleepiness for a while because he had drunk too much alcohol and was too excited during the day, and saw that Ferdinand was ready to continue working, so he quietly returned to his room and began to sort out the relevant data.
Ferdinand was already a workaholic, and the two worked all night in their respective rooms without eating or drinking.
Lehard, who was still in good spirits and shone in a faint light in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, yawned and looked up to find that the lights in Ferdinand's room were still on, so he walked over softly.
At this time, Ferdinand was flipping the brush in his hand, and did not notice that Lehard had entered his room.
"Good morning John, haven't you slept all night? I already have my own idea of yesterday's weapons blank now. ”
Ferdinand didn't seem to hear anything, nor did he answer him, but continued to write and draw, and then frowned and discarded the paper and put pen to paper again.
"Mr. Ferdinand." Lehard was too close to disturb the other's train of thought, so he stood by the door and whispered again.
"Oh! Good morning, Mr. Lehard, you got up early enough. Ferdinand quickly raised his head, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally came to his senses, then rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me now, sir?" ”
"You asked me to call you John last night, and you called me Heinrich too, did you forget it this morning?" Lehard said with a smile.
"Yes Heinrich, I will not forget." Ferdinand said.
Lehard was a pragmatic man, and he didn't want to delay the matter, so he said bluntly: "I now have a relatively mature plan for the design and manufacture of anti-aircraft guns." ”
"Great, I'd love to hear your proposal now, if you're not too tired." Ferdinand was amazed at Lehard's efficiency, but wanted to know what the new solution would bring.
In fact, Ferdinand had no doubts about the design and production capabilities of the Rheinland Group, and the fact that Lehard worked through the night was a testament to how pragmatic the company's leaders were. Now that he said he had a new plan, Ferdinand was not surprised at all.
Lehard pulled out his notebook and opened it, showing Ferdinand the small and delicate floor plans.
There is a detailed text description at the bottom of the picture, and Ferdinand himself has design skills, which can be seen at a glance.
It was the result of a night of work for Lehard, and he was keen to see Ferdinand's approval.
Ferdinand watched intently as Lehard waited. A long time had passed, and Ferdinand's eyes had never taken off the small notebook.
Lehard found that the other party was also a design expert, and he was eager to hear his ideas so that he could further modify them, and then said softly: "This plan is much better than the old one, but there is also a disadvantage, there may be a little deviation when the speed is too fast and the wind is too strong, if the existing plan is combined with the previous old plan, this problem is much easier, but it will have a subtle impact on the speed of the ship." Then he changed his words: "However, I also have a way to solve this, using a gasoline engine with a motor, this problem is almost solved." ”
"Motors, will it work?" Ferdinand asked with a frown. After all, the efficiency of today's motors is really not high, and no one has taken the lead in taking this step with motor drives.
"Yes John, but you'll have to figure it out, and Research Institute No. 7 is the specialty of motors, and it's up to you to ......," Lehard had already made clear.
Ferdinand did not answer directly, but fell into deep thought. It is better to say that he is the chairman of the Eric Group, it is better to say that he is a puppet, and it is not his turn to make up his own mind about major matters, and he also needs to ask for instructions when it comes to matters involving major research institutes.
