Chapter 322: Tedious Negotiations
"Ahem, it's almost enough to make small talk, I heard about Alyssa's information from Celta, can I talk about airships now?"
Duchamp tried to divert the subject.
Irina quietly walked to her place, unhurriedly pulled out her chair, and sat down. She secretly regretted that she had come too high-profile, and that she had not even met with Duchamp beforehand to get more information. Now, she sent it to the door like this, giving the other lion a chance to open his mouth. Now, realizing that she had made a mistake, just a gesture of pulling a chair, she had already figured out a countermeasure, and was ready to go all out to implement the roundabout strategy.
Erica read something from the businesswoman's twinkling gaze hidden behind the lenses, and a hint of imperceptible contempt crossed her lips. This is exactly the manifestation of the opponent's weak heart, and she decided to go straight to the point and achieve the desired effect as quickly as possible.
"On the mainland, Chase Central Workshop has always been ahead of any country or consortium in terms of the speed and comprehensive performance of airships. It doesn't matter where you got the news, 3500 Sail Distance, yes, this is the core data in our high-speed cruiser program. According to the tripartite agreement between the Kingdom of Liber and the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvard, we will export the technology to both countries at the same time after the successful research and development. I can't think of any reason why the Linefort Society would preemptively intervene in our plans, which would be unpleasant to the Republic of Calvard and thus affect our country's diplomatic relations. ”
The businesswoman fought back with all her might.
"Hehe, I think I mean something, you don't understand. For a long time, there was one thing that was missing from the Chase Central Workshop. What is that? It's Mira, it's the market. The land of projectiles in the kingdom of Elibel, how to recover research and development costs. The so-called technological diplomacy is actually equivalent to giving our country's market to your country. Ryan Ford has been committed to the development of high-speed airships, and has made the same plan to discuss cooperation with you, but it is just a generous and goodwill release of our country, I hope you will not misunderstand. ”
In the mutual temptation of the two sides with guns and sticks and the coercion of their respective methods, the other personnel present began to sweat and sweat, only Duchamp felt a little bored and couldn't help but yawn secretly.
He knows the hole cards of both sides.
Right now, Erica is testing the plan negotiated yesterday with a 100% price increase, and Irina keeps throwing out the so-called 'high-speed ship' plan that is already being carried out to suppress the other party.
Then the negotiations reached a senseless stalemate.
Duchamp suddenly remembered the airship Irina was on, and he had an idea.
"It's boring in the office, why don't you ask us to visit your airship."
"Great idea!" The businesswoman who was in a stalemate was in a daze.
The crowd arrives at the Chase Airship Pad, where the businesswoman's special airship, the dark gold Lainford, is parked on the spare tarmac.
"The airship is divided into three floors, and the facilities inside are all available, including a lounge, meeting rooms, entertainment, dining room and a number of other backup functions, which are exclusively for the directors of the Lane Ford Society." The businesswoman said proudly.
"The decoration is really luxurious." Duchamp exclaimed.
Erica looked at the cumbersome areas and was very disapproving.
Hearing this, Irina led everyone to the cockpit even more proudly.
The accompanying flight attendant introduced the various features of the airship.
After listening to the introduction, Erica unceremoniously made it to the main driver's seat and said, "How the performance is, you won't know if you fly." With that, he pressed the power button.
"Erica, what are you going to do?" Duchamp was shocked.
Erica said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, I have a test pilot's license, and I have tested the airship produced by Chase Central Workshop many times." ”
It seems that Erica is not bragging, and the airship flies smoothly and flies towards the plains of Torrant.
Duchamp watched Erica operating, and couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, he has airship piloting skills, but so far, he hasn't used it once.
"How should I get an airship driver's license?" Duchamp asked.
"At Grancel Airport, there is a special airship driving school, and if you pass a special assessment, you can get an airship driver's license."
Seeing Erica flying freely at the end of the blue sky in such a huge empty ship, Duchamp decided to get a driver's license in the future, of course, it would be better if he could get an airship of his own.
"The design is bloated, there is too much redundancy, the hull design is not compact, the performance and speed of the ship are greatly affected, in short, it is useless."
After flying around and coming back and mooring the airship, Erica commented.
'It's not just bloated, it's just wheezing! Duchamp sneered.
An airship that could only fly sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, a speed that was nothing short of a turtle speed for Duchamp, greatly discouraged his yearning for a pilot's license.
"Styri, what do you think?" The businesswoman's momentum was suppressed and Duchamp turned to him for help.
"Well, we should talk about how to make money, blindly pursuing high performance does not bring maximum profit. In the civilian market, there may be people who will pursue extremely luxurious products, or there may be people who demand that they can pull as many goods as possible while they can fly. We need to plan products with different prices and configurations on the basis of the technical performance that can be achieved at the moment, so that more people can afford to buy and use the take-off boat, which is the goal. ”
"Well said!" The businesswoman was very satisfied.
After half a day of probing, both sides stopped going around in circles, and began to discuss some business data on the airship. Depending on the situation, the desired progress should be achieved.
Duchamp dozed off when he heard this, and while the businesswoman was not paying attention, he simply slipped aside and took a nap.
At the time of his spring and autumn dreams.
"Styry, so you're hiding here and being lazy."
A shout from the businesswoman woke Duchamp up.
"I'm just checking whether the airship's cabin is comfortable." Duchamp said cheekily.
"This is a project related to you, how can you not be interested?" The businesswoman looks really angry, which shows that she doesn't have much of an advantage in the duel with Erica.
"I'm not omnipotent, I don't know anything about airships, it's better for you to communicate with Erica more, I just need to look at the final decision of the cooperation model." Duchamp spread his hands and told the truth.
"Well, it's worthy of Dr. Russell's daughter, but she's such a talent, it's been a long time since I've met such an opponent, if only I could dig up the Lane Ford Society." Irina was moved by love.
Duchamp scoffed at this unrealistic idea.
"Don't fight this idea yet, how can Dr. Russell's daughter accept an offer from the Empire. Perhaps, she will be the next workshop manager of the Chase Central Workshop. In my opinion, it is better to take the opportunity of the implementation of this project to raise the airship manufacturing process of Lane Ford Company to the leading level in the mainland, eliminate some old models, and then strive to keep the airship application market active. By the way, the appearance and process of the guide car will be improved, and more civilian guide cars will be manufactured to leverage the market demand. ”
"What do you mean by pulling the wind?"
"It's cool, dazzling, streamlined, like a flame, burning people's passion, making people want to have one when they see it, and they have a feeling of not wanting to stop when they drive it. Forget it, I'll be proficient in painting later, and I'll draw it for you. ”
Duchamp looked at the businesswoman with a puzzled face, so he had to stop describing the uselessness.
"Speaking of which, Stellory, after you graduate, why don't you come to help me at the Lineford Club, the current Lineford Club, but it's indeed a bit of the bloated and clumsy you said." The businesswoman said with a frown.
"Forget it, I don't have the guts to face such a big company and so many directors with so many talents." Duchamp refused without hesitation.
Seeing that the businesswoman's face changed instantly, he quickly changed his words in an instant.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much, I went to the Lane Ford Club to serve the entire board. And staying in the Green Leaf Club is to serve you alone! No company can beat its competitors in all projects, as long as you do what you do best, it is enough to dominate the market. Lineford now has a large number of government arms orders as a backstop. In terms of important products other than munitions, if we can occupy a leading position in the mainland in the three items of tactical power guide, airship, and guide car, it is enough to ensure the brand influence of Lineford Society. For other civilian products, you can refer to the cooperation with Luye Society, find more advantageous projects, and carry out cooperative development and operation to ensure the completeness and high level of the overall products. ”
"That's right." Irina was very helpful to Duchamp's first words, but in less than a second, her brow furrowed again.
"But where to find so many high-quality projects like the Green Leaf Society, in the field of civilian products, the empire has many long-established brands, and after comprehensive competition, the Lane Ford Society is often inferior to other manufacturers specializing in one product."
Duchamp saw that the opportunity had come, and once again threw out the 'Guiding Valley' plan.
"After all, there is a limit to what a person's mind can think about, so set up a fund to invest in some young people who have ideas. Or provide them with an entrepreneurial environment, give them the opportunity to create something of their value, and when there is really a ripe fruit, they will pick it. I've chosen a suitable place to do it in the next year, would you be interested in participating? ”
The businesswoman was obviously much more far-sighted, and after listening to Duchamp's rough plan, she folded her hands and calculated: "If these chaotic entrepreneurial plans are not screened by a clever person, I am afraid that 90% of them will face failure." There are simply too many factors beyond our control to suit a large company with a long history like ours. ”
Duchamp shrugged, the idea hit a wall again, but he didn't care.
His philosophy is not to make a lot of money, but to give young people a place where they can start their own businesses, which is of course completely different from the original intention of businessmen. No one is interested, he can save it until he has the strength to do it.
