Chapter 266: And the Second Generation Guardian?
Teresa Roy finally brought the top of the Pentagon, and this time it was more powerful than the general who came to Jurassic Island last time.
Moreover, compared to the last time, there were only three big cats and two kittens, this time it was a whole team, with a total number of more than twelve people.
This kind of standard treatment made Wen Ming a little puzzled.
"Because you're really in a position now."
The reception work was naturally done by the staff on Jurassic Island, and with so many people coming, of course, it was impossible to visit Wenming's military products as soon as they came up. After all, there are still 'targets' such as drones that Wen Ming asked for are not in place.
"Am I of great status?"
Wen Ming thought about it and understood that it must be the same thing as his previous investment in Facebook, which attracted the attention of the whole United States, and made many people look at him differently.
Teresa Roy knew that Wen Ming might have figured it out, but still explained: "Sometimes, if you just make money, you can't really show your status. But your investment in Facebook has affected not only Facebook as a company, but even large companies like Google. Let their market value evaporate by $1 billion in one day, which is not something that ordinary people can do. ”
"Some people have the ability to do it without affecting others. And now you have the ability to influence the U.S. economy, and you do. ”
Although Wen Ming figured it out, he didn't expect that Teresa Roy would think that she could influence the U.S. economy, what kind of concept is this?
"Roy, are you kidding me?"
Wen Ming pointed at himself and said, "How can I affect the US economy now?" ”
Without adding the suffix of Mr., in the United States, after the relationship reaches a certain level, no matter how old or young, it is imagined by name, even if there is a relationship between father and son, mother and daughter, you can often see people called by their names.
(ps: I see this from watching American dramas, I don't know if it's true or not, I haven't been to the United States.) )
Teresa Roy laughed: "You can indeed affect the American economy, but it is not as capable of causing a financial crisis in the United States as you imagined. Take your Apple company, how much tax revenue can be generated in the United States in one quarter? ”
"In addition to taxes, there's also the employees that your Apple owns, and so far, the Americans who have been employed by your Apple company, the head office, the channels, and the employees in so many Apple Experience stores across the United States, there are always thousands of people, right?"
"It's just an Apple company, and it's not on the premise that you don't have a real Apple factory. If you count Tesla, there are already tens of thousands of people employed by you. ”
Hearing Tesla, Wen Ming nodded, Tesla is different from Apple, although so far, the benefits created are not as good as Apple's, but the manpower required far exceeds Apple's.
Not only the sales and after-sales personnel of the car, but also because Tesla is a pure electric vehicle, in order to allow users to buy with more confidence, Tesla needs to set up fast charging piles as much as possible in the United States.
How big is the United States? How many cities are there? Which city doesn't have rich people in it?
If Tesla can't do a good job of service, then no matter how good the car is, it will not become the leader of the pure electric vehicle era.
As a result, the number of employees required is higher.
"In other words, I have money and I can earn money, so I can provide tax revenue for the United States. And then I have tens of thousands of employees who are a burden to the U.S. government if they lose their jobs because of me? ”
Teresa Roy smiled and said, "Yes, but before you were just making money with your head stuffed, and you didn't exert the influence you should have now." And after taking a stake in Facebook, you have begun to gradually show your influence, so many people will look at you differently. ”
"Don't forget, Facebook has more than a billion registered users around the world, and as one of the majority shareholders of Facebook, no one would believe that you would ignore those users of Facebook. In other words, your opinion can be seen by more than a billion people around the world. ”
After understanding this, Wen Ming laughed happily, in the final analysis, it was because of Facebook, which made him always think that his idea of investing in Facebook was just to make money, which was too wise.
While making money, but also having enough right to speak, how can you not be happy about the best of both worlds?
"Now, then, it's time to wait for their drones to be in place."
……
Six hours after the Pentagon delegation checked into Jurassic Island, a warship arrived on Jurassic Island with three drones.
It's just a regular-class destroyer, and it can be docked on the docks of Jurassic Island. And after the destroyer docked, some of the technicians of the Jurassic Island Research Institute began to get busy.
The non-biological researchers organized by Cui Chuanming to help Wen Ming have joined in the second half of Wen Ming's research 'Guardian', and the technicians of the arms company acquired by Teresa Roy have also followed that batch of materials and equipment to Jurassic Island after Wen Ming completed his shareholding.
To make a real 'guard', Wen Ming naturally can't do everything himself like making a civilian version, and a lot of manual work and tedious technical work can be handed over to them to do.
While these technicians were busy, the Pentagon delegation also visited Jurassic Island, and they were as interested in velociraptors as adults, as well as long-necked dragons and saber-toothed dragons, which had already seen their adult forms.
Take advantage of official business and visit Jurassic Island, and no one will refuse.
"Mr. Wen Ming, is this what you call ......'guard'?"
The leader of the delegation, Army General Rhodes from the Pentagon, asked curiously about the equipment being installed on the deck of the destroyer.
At this time, the group had already boarded the deck of the destroyer and was watching the technicians install the 'guard'.
Wen Ming nodded, and replied with a smile: "Yes, this is 'Guardian', and this is only the first generation of 'Guardian'. ”
Admiral Rhodes's attitude towards Wen Ming is also very good, after all, Wen Ming's worth and influence are there, and these values and influence are not obtained from the arms business. In the face of other purely American defense contractors, Admiral Rhodes' attitude is not so good.
"The first generation?"
Admiral Rhodes asked in surprise: "In other words, you still have a second generation?" ”
Wen Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is a second generation, but the second generation is still in my mind, and there are many questions that still need to be verified." ”
General Rhodes did not continue to ask, while another vice admiral in the expedition asked, "Can you tell us more about your second-generation guard?" ”
Of course Wen Ming doesn't mind, you can't do a hammer in the business of arms trading, right? If you want to come and go often, in addition to the existing products must be good enough, you also need to leave enough thoughts for these people in the Pentagon.
"Before introducing the second generation of guardians, I need to introduce the shortcomings of the first generation of guardians."
Before the product was displayed, it was necessary to expose its shortcomings, and Wen Ming's words attracted everyone present.
"When using the first generation of guardians, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the first generation of guardians, in other words, the target of the first generation of guardian defense must be fixed objects that cannot be moved. But the second generation of guardians is different, and in my design focus, it is able to achieve the true meaning of the word guardian while moving at a high level. ”
After a brief explanation, everyone had already understood, and the vice admiral asked in surprise: "Since the first generation of guards must be stable when they are used, why do you ask the test site to be on this warship?" ”
Wen Ming said with a smile: "Maintaining stability is not to be completely stable, with the magnitude of a warship, even if it moves, the stability will not be bad." When I say high-speed movement, I actually mean fighter jets......"
Can Guardian be used on fighter jets?
Although it has not yet begun to verify the first generation of guards, the Pentagon's inspection team is already itching.
