057 Fabrication Workshop
…
Cars sped through the streets of the suburbs of New York City, lined with trees and mountains.
Matthew didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, and the few manufacturing workshops that he had surveyed in a row today were not very satisfactory.
The previous one was an old workshop of nearly 30 years with complete facilities, but it was too old and it would not take long for it to be completely eliminated. The other was well-equipped, but the previous management was confused and its external debts were tangled, and the deal could not be concluded quickly.
The other few are either sky-high prices, or the facilities are too poor to meet the requirements of manufacturing accuracy, and they can't meet Matthew's expectations.
Matthew turned his head and asked the staff officer sitting in the co-pilot and asked, "Uncle Ben, what do you think of the previous ones?" ”
In the passenger seat is Ben Parker, the uncle of Peter the Spider. Ben was previously injured and is still undergoing rehabilitation in the hospital. Suddenly knowing that his young nephew Peter Parker was going to start a company, he couldn't sit still, and he was worried that Peter would be used at a young age, so he insisted on taking care of it together. Luckily, Ben Parker's recovery is progressing well, except for his pale face.
As mentioned earlier, Ben Parker is a Director of Production at Stark Industries and has a wealth of hands-on experience and understanding of manufacturing and machinery. With such experts as staff officers and advisers, Matthew may not be able to invite them on purpose, and of course he will not object to them.
Of course, Matthew has a deeper plan in mind, but this cannot be announced until the dust settles.
After the investigation of the previous ones, Ben Parker also found that these young people were indeed doing things in a down-to-earth manner, not on a whim. Based on his experience, the previous manufacturing workshops were just average. Shaking his head, he sighed: "The quality is mediocre, and the chicken ribs are tasteless." ”
Following the car of the intermediary in front, the car slowly drove into a simple and elegant manor, and the plaque above it reads "Loya Locke".
An old man with gray hair was waiting at the gate of the manor with a cane, dressed in a sky-blue suit and a white shirt, dressed exquisitely and exquisitely, spotlessly clean.
Matthew and the others got out of the car in surprise, this old man was so delicately dressed in the suburbs of New York, which is rare. The intermediary hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Mr. Wieland, this is Mr. Parker who introduced you earlier. Mr. Parker, this is Mr. Wieland. ”
Old Mr. Wieland stretched out his hand, took Ben Parker's hand tightly, let out a hearty laugh, and greeted him in a smooth and authentic British tone, "I am glad to meet you, Mr. Parker is really in the prime of life." I don't know who this one is? ”
Matthew and the others looked at each other in surprise, this old gentleman is not a simple person. It turned out that several people had discussed that because Matthew and Peter the Spider were too young, Ben Parker would come forward as the buyer to communicate with the intermediary. The agent always thought that the middle-aged man Ben Parker was the buyer, but he didn't expect the old Mr. Wieland to recognize Matthew as the owner at a glance.
Matthew hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself: "I'm Matthew, Matthew Williams. ”
Once the buyer and seller had met, they quickly drove to the manufacturing workshop to check it out. The manufacturing workshop is about a kilometer away from the manor, and Matthew also learned about this workshop through an intermediary on the way.
It turned out that Mr. Wieland brought his young son Wieland Jr. to New York 20 years ago, settled down and bought this Loyaloch Manor and the surrounding woodland. Then he had the foresight to establish the Wieland workshop near the estate.
Over the next two decades, with the development of technology in New York, the manufacturing workshop took on a number of manufacturing orders, and life was prosperous.
Now that little Wieland has grown up, he has inherited the smart talent of Wieland Sr. and has worked hard in New York. The elder Wieland is also old, lacks energy, and can no longer take care of the manufacturing factory, so he plans to sell the factory and return to New York City to make fun of his grandson and retire for the rest of his life.
In the workshop, Matthew looked around at the various workshops with bright windows and nodded secretly in his heart.
This workshop is indeed as the intermediary said, with strong technical strength, and even has a 3D printing workshop that is rare in New York. The instruments and facilities are covered with tarpaulins, and it looks like it hasn't been started for about half a year, but the oil lubrication and maintenance are very exquisite. As soon as you clean it up, you can start it quickly.
Matthew looked up. Parker saw that Uncle Ben secretly made an affirmative gesture, and seemed to be more satisfied with the situation in the workshop, and Matthew added a little more confidence in his heart.
Matthew has a clear plan for the manufacturing base of Wonder Industries, and the situation of this workshop meets Matthew's expectations and requirements.
The Great War in New York is imminent, and the factory site is located on the outskirts of the city, which can avoid the disaster of the pond fish brought by the war. At the same time, it is not far from the New York city area, there is a direct highway for an hour's drive, and the transportation is convenient and easy to manage.
Second, the environment near the factory is empty, with a large surrounding forest area, which is suitable for some secret moves, and can also meet the needs of future expansion.
Third, the factory planning is scientific, the technology is abundant, the equipment is cutting-edge and high-end, and the manufacturing strength is one of the best. No adjustments are required to get it into production quickly.
Just thinking about the price of the acquisition, Matthew had a headache. To be fair, after actually surveying the factory, Matthew also felt that it was worth the money. However, the offer is beyond the current capacity of Marvel Industries, which is why it is placed in the last place.
On the side, Mr. Wieland looked at this workshop reluctantly, which has poured his years of hard work into it, and it is also a paradise for children to play, full of countless happy memories.
The father and son who came today made him constantly recall the happy times of the past.
In my memory, a middle-aged man with protective glasses was busy processing the original. A boy full of wisdom on the side also imitated his father's movements seriously. The boy looked up and proudly declared, "I must make Wieland the greatest company in the world!" ”
Matthew stepped forward, and the slight sound of footsteps interrupted Old Mr. Wieland's reminiscence. On the wall is laser-engraved a line of "Wieland Industries", the handwriting is crooked, like a child's letter pen graffiti.
"Older people are always easy to reminisce about the past and make you smile." Old Mr. Wieland came back to his senses and smiled politely at Matthew: "Why don't we go back to the manor and talk slowly?" ”
Loyalok Manor is as elaborate as its owner, and its interior is beautifully furnished. A huge pair of ivory hangs from the walls, surrounded by all sorts of game and some Indian-inspired ornaments.
"These are the prey of my youth, and this tusk is from the legendary elephant god in India. I tracked this herd in the mountains and forests for half a year before I found this legendary elephant god. Old Wieland smiled and introduced to everyone.
Matthew and Ben Parker had no intention of appreciating it, over-the-top offers were beyond acceptance, and their minds were still worried about how to solve the problem. Only Peter Parker was unhindered, looking at all kinds of prey on the wall with wide eyes, and let out an exclamation in cooperation, which made old Wieland feel relieved and introduced more and more interested.
After a long time, seeing the worry on everyone's faces, old Wieland said gently: "I think that the strength of my factory is second to none among my peers of similar scale in New York. Seeing that everyone is particularly worried, you may as well speak out. The old man is a few years older, maybe he can help. ”
Matthew had no choice, so he stepped forward with a shy face and explained the truth truthfully: "Don't hide it from the old man, today's deal is actually the idea of me and Peter." We were students at Imperial State University, and we started our own company because of a little luck and opportunity. However, the company was start-up, and it was poor and white, and it was really shy in the pocket. So I'm worried about it. ”
The intermediary next to him realized that these two young people who looked younger than him were actually the main ones today, and he was stunned for a while. Old Mr. Wieland was noncommittal, and turned his head to ask the little spider who was still looking at the prey on the wall in amazement: "Your name is Peter?" ”
Puzzled, Spider-Man replied, "Yes, I'm Peter, Peter. Parker. ”
Old Wieland sighed: "Could it be that this is fate?" ”
Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, old Wieland explained: "My son is also called Peter. Wieland. I had planned to pass on the legacy of my life's work to my son Peter. Unexpectedly, when Peter founded Wieland Industries, my factory was not doing well and was in trouble. It also took Peter to sell his patents to raise $500,000. ”
"You may not understand the regret of a father, who is happy that my son can surpass me in his accomplishments, but who hates him for not being able to help my son when it is critical. But Heaven can give me a chance to fulfill a father's wish to be late. So, all you have to do is give 500,000 dollars, and the workshop and the surrounding woodland will be given to you. ”
Wieland turned his head to the intermediary who wanted to speak and said: "Don't worry, I, Wieland, have never lived up to others in my life, and I will calculate your commission at the original price." ”
