Chapter 665: Make an offer
"There are two more who haven't arrived, so let's talk for a while. When Henry said this, Durin knew that this Mr. Carlos must have something to communicate with him, and he was also very curious about Durin of the Bondika Military-Industrial Group. There are very few aristocratic members in this military-industrial group, but ordinary people occupy a large part, and the most strange thing is that they can still win a large number of military purchase orders, all of which shows that the Bondika military-industrial group has a lot of energy in the top of the government, especially the Ministry of Defense.
Every military purchase order represents tens of millions of arms trade, and there are many military industrial groups in the empire, so why does the Ministry of Defense have to buy Bondica's things? It is nothing more than some key people who have made a choice, which may come from the management of the Ministry of Defense or from the top of the Imperial Army, in short, Carlos is a figure worth befriending.
The two of them smiled at Henry knowingly, and then walked into a side hall next to them, and after the maids had brought them tea and snacks, they left the place, and closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.
"Mr. Doolin, we are both merchants, so I think we should keep things simple, what do you think?", Carlos's personality seems to be very direct, he means that there is no need to be too tempting, and it is better to say whatever you want, preferably in a very direct way. But Duhrin thinks that he is definitely not such a direct person, and the executive director of the western part of a giant military industrial complex like Bondika cannot be a straight person.
He had to deal not only with the local working class, but also with the local state government, the military and people from all walks of life, and if he was really a straightforward person, he would have died in some stinking ditch, or he would have returned to his hometown and become an inconspicuous unemployed person. The reason why he was able to say this was probably ...... He has something in his hands that allows both parties to avoid unnecessary politeness and get straight to the conversation.
Durin raised an eyebrow, "That's good, I like this simple way of communicating." ”
"I know you have a lab?", Bondika's first words reminded Durin of what Stan Ain had told him, and Bondika's lawyer contacted him to buy a small patent in the lab. But Stan Ain refused to contact the other party, and stated that the patent belonged to Doolin, and if Doolin did not nod, no one would be able to sell the patent to them, and in order to avoid some patents being stolen, Stan Ain and the researchers in the laboratory had built a thick patent barrier for all the patents, enough to make anyone who had a headache after reading it couldn't open their eyes.
Durin nodded, "That's right, you know I'm very interested in some new and trendy things, and it just so happens that some businesses also need some cutting-edge things, so I set up a laboratory dedicated to serving me personally." Some people like money, rich like power, and I, like flashy gadgets. ”
"That's not a flashy gadget!", Carlos laughed, "I saw from the patent office a special chemical formula called 'thermite', which can produce high heat of up to 2,000 degrees Celsius, I am very interested in this formula, I wonder if you can sell it to me?", he laughed again, "I am very sincere, as long as you offer a price, I can agree to it now." ”
Thermite was known to Dohring, and it caused an accident at the time, which almost caused a fire in the laboratory. Although Dühring felt that this thing was useless at first, but in line with the concept of "gold is everywhere on the road of scientific research", he asked Stan Ain to register a patent and create a patent barrier, and he also told Stan Ain that no matter what kind of patent the laboratory invented, even if it seemed useless, it must be registered and a patent barrier must be built, and Stan Ein also implemented Dühring's request very well.
For this group of researchers, who can already be called scientists, researching, experimenting, sabotaging, and making are their favorite pastimes, and it's not something that makes them feel irritated.
A patented formula that seemed to be useless could attract a regional executive director like Carlos, so it was tantamount to telling Durin that the formula was useful and valuable. Doolin's attitude towards valuable things is to take them into his own hands. The boss in his dream once did something that puzzled him very much, when the boss got a very important piece of information, but it was of little use to himself, and someone was willing to pay a high price for it.
According to normal people's thinking, the big guy may sell this information that is meaningless to himself but very important to others for a sky-high price, and then use the funds to develop his own power, but the result is the opposite. The big guy pretended not to know anything, and even arranged for everyone who knew about it to work abroad, until the day he finally died, this information was always stored in his underground vault, and no one found it.
At that time, the big guy's good friend asked him why he didn't sell this information, and the big guy's answer was very strange, but it was very reasonable.
He said that if I sold this information to a certain group, they would lose a sum of money in a short period of time, but after getting this information, they will be able to speed up their development, increase their strength and power by leaps and bounds, and maybe cultivate a new potential enemy for me. By that time, I may have received a decent amount of money, but I have a terrible opponent, and I might as well destroy this information.
It looks like I've lost a sum of money, but it's not mine, and because a certain group lacks this opportunity, they are very likely to lose their way on the road of future development, and in the end they don't even deserve to carry my shoes. I've lost a windfall, but I've also lost a potentially terrible enemy.
I'm not a smart person, so I can only come up with such a stupid solution, maybe right, maybe not, who knows?
At that time, Du Lin was also puzzled, wouldn't it be a better choice if the big guy got a considerable amount of wealth for development, but then he gradually understood that when a power has developed to a certain extent, the importance of money is far less important than in the early stage of the development of a power. Yes It may seem like a good thing, but it's actually worthless, because in the end, if any power wants to continue to grow, the things that are needed most are often not solved by money alone.
This little episode is very deep in Durin's memory, because at that moment he chose the complete opposite of the big guy's, and in the end he was also proved wrong. A force that was originally very likely to catch up with the big guys, because there was no intelligence to support it, there were continuous decision-making mistakes, and since then it has been reduced to an ordinary force.
Now Durin has the same idea, the thermite thing may be worthless to him, not even as meaningful as a piece of toilet paper. But once this thing is sold to the Bondica military-industrial group represented by Carlos, it is very likely that Carlos or the Bondica military-industrial group will be able to make great progress in weapons research and development, so as to defeat several other military-industrial groups and become a giant giant. At that time, the Bondika military-industrial complex, which has too much money to count, will spread its tentacles, and after completing the supremacy of its own industry like many monopolies, it will begin to invade other industries, and at some point it will become an enemy with him.
It is not impossible, when Mr. John George made several transformations at the height of the George family's monopoly on the newspaper industry, although it failed, but it also told Dühring that the ambition to dominate the whole industry in the heart of the capitalists should not be underestimated.
"Thermite ......", Durin looked as if he was contemplating, Carlos on the side did not urge, he behaved extremely relaxed, Durin gradually twisted his brows together, and after a while he shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't remember this patent for a while, what does it do?
Carlos's expression stiffened for almost a tenths of a second, and he smiled to hide a certain emotion in his heart, and explained with a smile: "It is a formula used to increase the combustion temperature, mainly used in the steel smelting industry, which can provide better steel and save some costs." He was not entirely wrong, nor was he entirely right, this was indeed a function of thermite, but in fact, Carlos knew the formula of thermite and was bent on winning the patent for thermite.
In the eyes of other industries, this thing may not be a great thing, but in the military industry, the welding of some important materials is very much in need of thermite formulas that instantly produce high temperatures. And Carlos had the idea that if he fired a bullet made of thermite into an artillery shell, would there be any special effect? In the weapons laboratory he had some researchers do an experiment, and so far they could think of and have concrete materials, there was nothing that could maintain its properties in a temperature of 2,000 degrees.
This means that once thermite is used in long-range attacks, some armor that is currently indestructible will become cardboard in front of shells containing thermite, and it will tear apart.
After mastering such technology, the weapons and equipment under the name of the Bondika military-industrial group will far surpass the products of other military-industrial groups in terms of performance, which has attracted great attention from the Ministry of National Defense. When the time comes, when this rearmament is completed, at most five years, and the technology integration is mature and can be used in actual warfare, the Ministry of Defense will reequip again, and Bondika will oversee the weapons and equipment of all platforms, which will be an important breakthrough for Bondika Military Industrial Group.
At that time, as the purchaser and new owner of the patent, Carlos is confident that he will win the position of chairman in one fell swoop, and grasp more equity and power!
This will be a shortcut to the top of his life, and he must take this formula!
