Chapter 210: Blocking the opponent
Sentry.
The metaphor is the ancient guardian standing outside the gates of the fortress.
This is the most famous work of Trask Industries.
If you talk about exoskeleton suits or something, mass production is naturally respected by Tony Stark at the moment. But when it comes to weapons such as humanoid fighter jets, Trask was the first to come up with mass-produced products twenty or thirty years ago.
Even if those processes are a bit backward in many aspects in modern times, at that time, whether it was energy or materials, as well as the design architecture, the first generation of the Sentinel was a well-deserved masterpiece at that time!
"Sharing the cake is not what the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. want, what they want is competition and price reduction." Ida Wang frowned and said, "The amount of orders revealed by Nick is indeed generous, but that will have to wait until the second phase." β
"The order of the first phase can only be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to the second phase. The purchase order of the first phase has a certain interest in real and inspection, and the follow-up order is the real battlefield. β
"Whoever gets the largest purchase order for the follow-up order will have at least the next ten years. Because this order is so generous that if nothing else, it is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to purchase weapons on such a large scale as this time in ten years, or even longer. β
"At the moment, we are the most competitive Storm companies, but AIM and Trask Industries, which have joined the competitive sequence, obviously will not and cannot give up this best opportunity in the next decade."
"Without this order, Storm, a big business, can still rely on the profits in the field of medicine and other fields to get through safely, but some profits, connections, and the possible future of the field of biological and chemical weapons and other intangible losses."
"But if AIM and Trask don't seize this opportunity and don't get a piece of the pie from this lucrative order, they will be squeezed out by Storm. can only survive completely, and even go bankrupt. After all, no one can say what will happen ten years from now, whether it is Adridge Killian or BolΓvar Trask, they will not be willing to let go of this opportunity to rise to the last place. β
"To put it simply, this cake could have eaten ninety percent of Storm, but now it has two more mouths. Are we going to eat less? Meng Ao slumped into the sofa, his fingers crossed and folded on his abdomen, figuratively and generally speaking.
"That's a good analogy." Ida Wang nodded.
Storm has been one of the organization's biggest outside collaborators when it comes to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s bioweapons, and when the Tyrant and the Colony appeared, enriching Storm's bioweapons and giving them various abilities and uses, this one could also be discarded.
If there is no Trask and AIM Enterprises, the peaks stand out. Storm had no problem placing all of this order.
"Alexander Pearce." Meng Ao whispered a person's name, "He is the biggest promoter of Trask Industries and AIM Enterprises to join." β
Many people may not know this name, but this man named Alexander Pierce is one of the important members of the World Security Council, and he has pushed Nick Fury to the top of the throne, helped him become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and cleared up a lot of trouble for him.
This is a man who is close to Nick Fury and has a great deal of influence in the country.
He spoke lightly without showing his face. But as long as he shows up and speaks, no one in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. can ignore his words! Even Nick Fury. There are also discretionary concessions on many things. In this arms feast, Trask Industries and AIM were forcibly mixed in, and the reasons put forward by this man were not even refuted and ignored by Nick Fury.
"He doesn't want to see us Storm family dominant, and his influence over S.H.I.E.L.D. grows." Ida Wang's face was full of helplessness, "The people of the World Security Council are always extremely cautious and old-fashioned, and obviously Mr. Alexander Covenas-Pierce is also such a person. β
"He doesn't think it's a good thing for S.H.I.E.L.D. to be the dominant family. And S.H.I.E.L.D. only relies on the technical support of Storm, which is easy to overturn in the long run. Storm should have at least one competitor, and S.H.I.E.L.D. should have at least two outside bioweapons collaborators. β
"This is not a one-person argument within S.H.I.E.L.D., but one that many people agree with. If it weren't for the collapse of Osborne Industries, I'm afraid there would be one more competitor at the moment. β
"After all, it still depends on the product, doesn't it?" Meng Ao asked.
"Relationships like connections aside. In the case that the strength of the product is not much, or it is sufficient, the price is the decisive factor. S.H.I.E.L.D. has complained about the price of our products more than once over the years. "Ida Wang spreads her hands.
Meng Ao's library works are naturally expensive to make, but the mass-produced versions of the Colony and Tyrant sold to S.H.I.E.L.D. will be more and more profitable if they are not updated and upgraded!
A few years later, it was Nick Fury who couldn't help but bare his teeth in the face of the profits that Meng Ao stole from him. A few years later, for every piece of mass-produced clothing and tyrant sold, Meng Ao's net profit was close to 1,000 percent!
And the cost of 300,000 US dollars, 3 million US dollars sold, in a few years later, the cost is greatly reduced, the price is still unreduced, but according to the number of purchases in each order to give certain discounts, in the long run, how can Nick Fury not be painful?
But as an exclusive deal, Meng Ao naturally has a strong confidence to find various reasons to maintain the price.
"In other words, Trask and AIM also play the role of catfish?" Meng Ao rolled his eyes: "Is this using the two joint ventures of Trask and AIM to pressure me to lower the price and make concessions on the price of the new Tyrant and Colony weapon series?" β
"It's 100 percent possible." Ida Wang spreads his hands again. If Meng Ao can be forced to lower the price, Nick Fury really doesn't care about using some similar small means.
"The question of price made him talk to Cook, who was the diehard of profit." Meng Ao fiddled back and forth flexibly with the fingertips of his index fingers, "There is still a lot of time before the second phase of the order, so we can put the question of price reduction or something first." Maybe what will happen during this time? β
Meng Ao paused, turned his head to look at Ada, and asked, "Trask Industries' products are still sentinels?" β
"Yes."
"Then send a message to the beloved mutant leader, Professor Charles, and Mr. Magneto, who is at home. Do the hidden point, tell them that the pioneer enterprise of the fight against mutants, Trask Enterprises, is going to be resurrected. (To be continued......)
