Chapter 405: Product Ideas and Copper Smell

When Wen Ming designed the second generation of guarding, he used relatively 'backward' technology very unethically.

For him, energy weapon technology is already a very mature technology, not only from the "The Amazing Spider-Man" series, but also from the "Special Forces" series of daydreams.

In fact, in the "Special Forces" series, the level of application of energy weapons surpasses that of "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Whether it is a miniaturized high-energy laser weapon or a pulsed energy weapon mounted on the night raven of the aerospace fighter, it is already a very mature technology. Not only can you easily control the level of energy attacks, but you can also attack from a long distance.

The effective attack range of the first generation of guardians is only 1500 meters, not because Wen Ming can't do it with a farther attack distance, but because he doesn't want to do it.

When designing the second-generation guardian, Wen Ming only changed the usage program of the first-generation guardian, making it change from defending and counterattacking to actively discovering targets and then attacking.

To put it simply, nothing has changed.

Donus participated in the creation of the first generation of guardians, so when the design plan of the second generation of guardians was released, he asked with some concern: "Boss, is it really appropriate for us to do this?" ”

I don't know why, Donus always feels that the difference between the first generation of guardians and the second generation of guardians is like the difference between iphone1 and iphone1s. According to the official introduction, the processing speed has been increased by 40%, the imaging effect has been increased by 30%, and so on.

But in fact, it is just a molded design product, and there is no improvement at all.

Wen Ming didn't care about this, and said: "You must know that the attack laser satellite they need at present only needs to meet the function of defeating that space-based satellite." Moreover, after knowing the orbital parameters of that space-based satellite, this attack laser weapon satellite will also be ascended into the orbit of that space-based weapon satellite. ”

"When we make products, we must meet the needs of customers, but this does not mean that we must make the product exceed the needs of users, do you know what I mean?"

Donus was stunned for a moment before he said, "Boss, so we Apple only launched the iphone1s this year, not the iphone2?" ”

Wen Ming said with a smile: "I think the sales of the iPhone 1S have proved that our product concept is successful." ”

It has been a month since the official launch of the iphone1S, and the global sales have exceeded 25 million units, allowing Apple to earn more profits than the release of the iphone 1.

It seems that the current sales of iPhone1S are not as good as iPhone1, but iPhone1 is everything from scratch, such as all the Apple physical experience stores invested at that time, which are the profits created by using iPhone1. When these investments are converted into costs, the net profit margin of the iPhone 1 becomes much lower.

And now when the iPhone 1s are released, there is no need to calculate this cost.

Donus didn't answer, but just asked in his heart: Is it your product idea, or Apple's product idea?

The reason why this question is not asked is because it does not need to be answered, and the reason is that Apple belongs to Wenming.

At this time, a week has passed since Wen Ming and others came to NASA, and in this week's time, Wen Ming and Donus have obtained all the parameters of the new satellite designed by NASA. It can also be said that this new satellite was jointly designed by Umbrella and NASA.

NASA is responsible for designing the basic functions of the satellite, which is not difficult for them, what Wen Ming did was to put forward the space that the second generation of the satellite needs to occupy when NASA designed the satellite.

Through simulation tests, the second-generation guardian designed by Wenming can be perfectly integrated into the new satellite, and now what needs to wait is the successful manufacturing of the new satellite.

By this time, Wen Ming had become very idle, so he began to make relationships everywhere in NASA.

"You ignored me at the beginning, but it was because I used my power to influence your control of the aerospace industry. But in fact, I'm not alone. ”

Wen Ming has no psychological burden at all, he is not the kind of person who does not dump him, he will not dump others. As long as it works for him, he can put down his body and make friends with others.

After the richest man in the world puts down his body, how many people can refuse?

In the following week, Wen Ming became a favorite of NASA, thanks to his constant invitation to NASA technicians and management to attend his banquets.

"As I said, the wine must be '82 Lafite."

When the seventh banquet was held, Wen Ming got angry and said to Lilith who rushed over: "Although I don't think this red wine is really delicious, but this red wine is expensive enough, if not, why do you think those technicians and managers came to my banquet?" ”

"And caviar, I want Almas caviar for $3,000 an ounce, why is there Sevruga caviar on the menu?"

Wen Ming's method of befriending those people was to throw money, so his tone was full of copper smell at this time.

"The effect I want to achieve is that they come to the banquet to eat and drink a little bit, which is equivalent to earning their salary for a month, or even more. Otherwise, why did I hold six banquets in a row, and each time it was overcrowded? ”

Even if NASA's technicians and executives are paid very well, few people can refuse to eat a spoonful of Austrian platinum-grade caviar that costs $40,000.

After Lilith got angry at Wen Ming, she said calmly: "Boss, it's not something that can be bought with money. We've had six banquets in a row, each with hundreds of people in attendance, and how many Lafite are there in '82? Almas caviar, what is the annual production? ”

"If we had prepared a month in advance, we could have had 30 or more banquets according to this standard. However, your decision was so hasty that it would be difficult for us to buy enough ingredients in such a short period of time, regardless of the cost. ”

Lilith's reason made Wen Ming speechless, so he could only put down the menu and asked, "How much did you spend on the ingredients and drinks for today's banquet?" ”

Lilith replied, "$2 million." ”

Wen Ming calculated in his heart, it seemed to be about the same as before, and he no longer bothered whether the red wine was 82-year-old Lafite, nor whether the caviar was Almas caviar.

"Well, inform the people who should be notified, and get ready to start today's feast."

The venue of the banquet was NASA's No. 3 restaurant, which was owned by Wen Ming every night at his strong request. The chefs of the restaurant have also changed, all of them are the chefs of Michelin-starred restaurants that Wen Ming transferred from other places through Teresa Roy's high-end hotel industry.

Wen Ming said hello to Donnas, who was working, and went to the banquet venue first, and he did this every day for the past seven days.

For him, these technicians and top managers at NASA are very useful. Needless to say, the level of technical personnel is definitely the top in the world, and the management personnel are the key objects of Wen Ming's friendship.

In the future, Wen Ming's aerospace company will definitely engage in some space programs that NASA and the U.S. government do not allow, and at that time, he needs someone to help him cover up. And in the United States, NASA is the only unit that has the ability to inspect the manufacturing and launch plans of private companies.

"Mr. Wen Ming, do you know that I have received 5 resignations in the last three days."

When Wen Ming had just arrived at the banquet venue, he saw his NASA contact, Professor Lancy, and it seemed that Professor Lancy had been waiting for him for a long time.

Wen Ming had an expression that had nothing to do with me, and said, "This is really an unfortunate thing, but I think everyone has the right to choose. Perhaps, they are reluctant to pursue a career in aerospace? Professor Lancey, you can't force it. ”

Professor Lancy said helplessly: "Mr. Wen Ming, I will not force them, and I also know that you have never forced them. But is it really necessary? ”

Wen Ming spread his hands and asked, "I really don't understand what you're talking about." ”
