Chapter 1382 Military Drones
Han Xuan and others walked along the seaside road in the westernmost part of Long Beach City, and could see a warship parked under the lights of the military port.
The "Ticonderoga"-class missile cruiser, which was commissioned in the 80s, was built by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Company of the United States and was the first cruiser in the world to be equipped with the "Aegis" ship-to-air missile weapon system.
The average cost of such a Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser is $1.2 billion each, compared with the USS Lincoln, which was launched ten years ago, at a cost of $3.5 billion.
Han Xuan had never considered meddling in the arms industry before, and he never believed in the external financial statements of those arms giants.
Last year, the total US military expenditure reached $270 billion, accounting for about 17 percent of the government's financial expenditure and about 3.3 percent of the gross domestic product, ranking first in the world.
All US arms dealers know that it is not as easy to sell weapons abroad as it is to sell them to their own governments, and in the case of Lockheed Martin, the profit margin on weapons is far more than 7 percent as said, and tax evasion is very serious, but no one dares to investigate.
Although the weapons sold to the unjust US government are expensive, the quality is really nothing to say, and the US government does not produce and develop weapons, and all of them are purchased from arms companies including Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, and Raytheon, ranging from aircraft carriers to pistol bullets, and it can be said that the security of the United States is in the hands of these arms dealers, and its importance is self-evident.
If you want to say which company under Han Xuan can be related to arms, it is probably only Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company.
It is the engine of many European fighter jets, and it is almost impossible to get Lockheed Martin to choose Rolls-Royce's engine, which has been contracted by many companies.
Now, he suddenly thought of a good thing with a very promising market prospect - military drones.
As a member of the modern air military force, military UAVs have the characteristics of no casualties, less restrictions on use, good concealment, and high cost-effectiveness ratio, and some people have predicted that military UAVs will subvert the combat mode of the 21st century.
Moreover, UAVs are not only military, but also have a market in aerial photography, surveying and mapping, agriculture, express transportation, etc., due to technical limitations and other reasons, people do not pay enough attention to it, and now is a good time for development.
If you want technology in your hand, you need experts and experts, but if you can't do it, you can still spend money to buy it, in Han Xuan's opinion, there is no possibility that you can't make it.
He asked Dawson to call the secretariat and ask them to gather information about the drone manufacturing company and see if there was a ready-made company that could be bought at a low price......
The sea breeze was a little cold on my body, and I could hear the whistle from the freighter.
Han Xuan changed his costume just now, and now he is wearing a black sportssuit, supporting his grandmother's company, only wearing Nike and not Adi.
As she walked, she chatted with Xiao Si and asked her, "When I went to England a few days ago, did you go back to Japan, how is it there?" ”
"It's still the same, nothing has changed.
I went to see a movie called "Midnight Bell" with my friends, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night, and I heard that someone was scared to death on the spot in the movie theater, and the body was not found until the end of the movie.
It's really scary, and I watched it with my eyes closed, and even so, I still think the soundtrack is scary. ”
Xiao Si probably thought of the picture in the movie, his face was very ugly, and then said: "I knew that I should have gone to see Conan, it is said that the theatrical version is very good." ”
In my memory, the theatrical version of the movie "Detective Conan" is released in April every year, and the calculation time seems to be a lot earlier, like this kind of small changes that are different from the history of the previous life are everywhere, Han Xuan has been used to it, such as the financial crisis that is still shrouded in Asian countries so far, and the development trajectory has long been very different from the previous life, and last month it even made the Sumitomo Foundation, one of Japan's largest conglomerates, miserable.
A few years ago, the consortium suffered heavy losses in the copper price dispute and has not yet recovered, and this time it has made matters worse.
Sumitomo Bank, the core industry of the Sumitomo Consortium, and Sumitomo Corporation, announced the news of bankruptcy one after another, and of course, the old ally Sakura Bank, also known as Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, soon announced that it would provide it with a $4 billion bailout loan, which is unlikely to make them really collapse, but it is enough to see how big the impact of this economic crisis has on it.
In order to make up for the serious losses suffered in Thailand last year, the president of Sumitomo Bank embezzled funds to invest in the Hong Kong stock market, and just about to make back the losses, the stock market crashed, and the president had already apologized two weeks ago, and stabbed himself in the stomach in front of the media.
The elders of the family are already mad in the face of a funding gap of billions of dollars, if he does not die, his descendants will have to bear the anger together, and he himself will be imprisoned, it is better to die, and it will be a hundred......
"I don't dare to watch "Midnight Bell", which theatrical version is being released this time, the fourteenth target?"
"Hey, how do you know, do you watch Conan too?" Xiao Si felt very strange that Han Xuan actually knew about cartoons, and in his impression, he should only read newspapers and news.
Han Xuan nodded, feeling depressed.
found out that he was actually quite similar to Conan, both of them became smaller and no one knew him, but Conan at least had Dr. Asa and Xiao Ai to confide in, but he could only hide the secret in his heart......
The seafood buffet restaurant is called "papi", which is the name of the English bulldog raised by the owner.
After receiving a call from Han Xuan, the restaurant owner hurriedly asked the staff to go to the aquatic market not far away to buy ingredients.
The two young employees who were instructed to get money from their bosses to go out to buy goods were the kind of jobs they liked best, and countless experiences concluded that as long as they embezzled less than $20 each time, the Mexican boss, who had never been to school, would not notice.
After arriving at the restaurant, he started eating, a lot of various seafood were taken casually, and he accidentally found that a food truck selling fried oysters was passing by, and Han Xuan asked Jason to go out and buy a portion for himself.
A super-large octopus, grilled red by an iron plate, cut off an octopus leg, Han Xuan sprinkled some black pepper on it, and then used his hand wearing disposable film gloves to hold it and eat it, the bite was so strong that his cheeks were sore.
Dawson received a phone call, Han Xuan glanced at him, saw that the secretary's expression was wrong, and understood that there must be some bad news coming......
(The number of words in the recent update is small, I know I'm sorry for the party and the people, spring is the spring of everything, which causes me to be in a bad state, and I have a small illness, and I am preparing to go out for a break recently, and it is the first time to write such a long book, I don't have much experience, and I am probably a little tired from continuing to create.) )
