Chapter 406: Do You Call This Business Negotiation?
Engaging in a consortium or something, that's for the future.
The top priority now is to make money, and Sean is dying of poverty.
According to Shen Bi, his more than 400 million is not enough at all, and it is not enough to even sign the broadcast rights with the four major alliances.
What's more, Sean still wants to do so many things.
Shen Bi thinks that Sean is a very amazing person, and he can always try his best to bankrupt himself!
In a short period of time, Sean couldn't think of any idea of getting a lot of money quickly, and there were not many opportunities for Ka Dazuo after all.
After thinking about it for a while, Sean hit the idea on the super toucan.
The original Super Tucano was produced in Brazil and was only put on the market after 2000, and was in service with Brazil, Colombia, Dominica, Chile, Ecuador, Burkina Faso, Angola, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Afghanistan and other countries.
In 2013, the United States also ordered 20 for use on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
This is also because the Brazilian government is not strong enough, resulting in poor sales of aircraft, if it is replaced by Sean...... No, in the case of the US government, the Super Tucano would have sold better and sold for more!
Sean: Are you going to buy or buy or buy!
Buyers: Buy, buy, buy......
This aircraft is an old-fashioned turboprop aircraft, so the take-off and landing performance is very good, in addition to the standard cement runway take-off and landing, but also on the dirt runway, gravel runway, grass airport and snow-covered runway on the take-off and landing, this aircraft is more friendly to small countries with poor infrastructure construction, simple to operate, more safe and reliable.
Compared with jet aircraft, the requirements for runways are high, the requirements for infrastructure are high, and the requirements for pilots are high, which is too unfriendly to small countries.
In addition to the above advantages, the Super Tucano has many benefits, the propeller aircraft has a low flight cost, only about 400 US dollars per hour, not to mention compared to jets, compared with helicopters, the flight cost is much lower.
In addition, the stall speed of this propeller aircraft is only 148 km / h, which is convenient for low-speed reconnaissance and ground attack, low fuel consumption can make the toucan's air patrol time up to 8 hours, ground attack or support at any time, and the cruising speed reaches 520 km / h, which can approach the battlefield faster and is more convenient to dodge individual air defense missiles.
It has a longer combat radius, longer combat time, faster speed, better battlefield survivability, lower fuel consumption, lower operation difficulty, lower maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost than helicopter gunships.
In addition, the larger body allows the toucan to carry more weapons, such as cannon pods, rocket nests, normal bombs, cluster bombs, laser-guided bombs, anti-tank missiles, and even infrared combat missiles.
net
These points make the Super Tucano very suitable for maritime patrols, anti-submarine, anti-terrorism, and anti-guerrilla warfare.
Wu Dalang plays night owls, who plays with what birds, those small countries, are very backward in all aspects, the frequency of combat is high, the intensity of combat is low, compared with advanced jet fighters, obviously backward propeller aircraft are more suitable.
Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, Syria, these places, this plane will be very good, Sean is sure to make a lot of money!
The most important thing is that this is a serious business, legal income.
The word legal is simply too important!
……
"the plane?" David looked at Sean with strange eyes, "What kind of plane are you going to do?" I see you're doing airplanes! ”
"After spending some time in Africa, is your IQ also infected by those!"
"It's a shame!"
"Fighter!" Sean rolled his eyes, the old man's mouth was still so vicious, "I found a very serious problem in Libya, whether it is those Arabs or, jets and gunships are too difficult for them now. ”
"Can you imagine a who eats watermelon, steps on cotton, and makes a fortune all on it learning to fly a third-generation jet fighter?"
David tilted his head very seriously and thought about it, "I think agricultural planes are more suitable for them!" ”
"So!" Sean spread his hands, "Whether it is the United States, Europe or the Soviet Union, it can only be a big toy for them, I just sold 200 Orientals to Kadazuo 200 discontinued helicopter gunships, the only weapon is a 12.7mm cannon, very popular!" ”
"Moreover, I helped them develop a new way to use it, hovering in the air and throwing bombs from the barn door, a tactic that was unanimously praised!"
Poof, Old Man David burst out laughing, "Hell, are they all stupid to approve of such a hellish thing." ”
"Why not?" Sean took it for granted, "That's Africa, although this tactic is shitty, but, their opponent is a group of niggers picking cotton in the cotton field!" ”
"RPGs and individual anti-aircraft missiles must be launched at an angle, and before they can shoot down the plane hovering overhead, the tail flame sprayed on the ground will burn them to death!"
"Or do you think Black African Faith Shooting can shoot down planes overhead?"
"Well, you really can't ask for that much!" Old man David laughed and slapped the table.
Not a joke, Sean told him about his plan and talked about the Brazilian toucan, which is still used as a trainer but can carry modern weapons.
The Brazilian Air Force itself ordered 118 aircraft, Egypt ordered 120 aircraft, 40 aircraft for its own use, and the remaining 80 aircraft for the Yin Lak Air Force, and the market prospects are broad.
This matter was first heard from Kadazuo when he was in Libya, and Sean remembered the toucan.
"It's not impossible, you're going to work with Brazilians?" David thought for a moment and asked.
"No, I'm going to go it alone, I don't want them to make money by cooperating with them, this thing doesn't have any technical content, I believe that the technical reserves of several aircraft manufacturers in the United States are completely enough to build the aircraft." Sean shrugged, "I can make my own money, what do I have to share with the Brazilians." ”
David sneered at Sean's idea of a small farmer who likes to do everything himself and grasp everything in his hands.
But it didn't matter, he didn't mind giving Sean an an idea.
"Do you know Grumman?"
Sean shook his head.
"They have produced F6F Hellcat fighters, F7F Tiger Cat fighters, F8F Panda fighters, and a total of more than 20,000 of these propeller fighters have been manufactured, of which the F7F is still carrier-based, and they have the world's most abundant propeller fighter manufacturing capabilities and experience."
"Although their main research and development direction is now changed to jet fighters, the technology accumulation is still there, you can talk to them, cooperate in production, re-establish a joint venture, or other ways, you can consider it yourself."
Sean's eyes lit up, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, old man David not only knows a lot, but also has a wide range of contacts.
"That's Grumman!" Sean clapped, "Old man, let's call!" ”
Old man David's face suddenly darkened, this special thing hasn't been used up yet, is he already ready to kill the donkey!
scolded Sean a few words, and the old man David was very hard-mouthed, but his body picked up the phone very honestly and dialed out.
Just like Shen Bi said, Rockefeller secretly holds a small amount of shares in Grumman through other financial institutions, and although he does not usually participate in the management, it is still easy to say a word.
The next day, Sean appears at Grumman.
Grumman, who was the director of the Lorning Company, moved from New York to Pennsylvania in 28 years, Graman decided to go it alone, and with several partners bought the 25-year bankrupt Cox-Clemin Aircraft Company on Long Island, New York, and changed its name: Grumman.
Grumman started by selling the Grumman FF fighter jet, a biplane with retractable landing gear, to the U.S. Navy.
Isn't it natural that Rockefeller has a stake in the original company in New York State, the new company in Long Island, New York, and can get orders from the US Navy?
During World War II, Grumman's Cat series of fighters shone brightly, F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tiger Cat, F8F Panda, and two-thirds of the aircraft lost by Japan were shot down by Grumman products.
After World War II, there was a period of low ebb, and the most successful product at the moment is the F-14 Tomcat.
Sean was received by Grumman's president, Bertie Bazel, a professional manager, and Grumman's descendants were not too good to be in charge of the company.
Bertie Bazel seems to be very enthusiastic, and Sean's current status, even if it is a company with little intersection, will not snub him.
After a few pleasantries, he heard that Sean was very interested in the Cat series propeller fighters they produced in the early years, so he took Sean to visit the company's museum.
The old plane from 40 years ago, no matter how brilliant it was back then, the complete aircraft can only be found in the museum......
Inside the Aircraft Museum, Sean instantly recognises the F6F, a legendary aircraft.
The F6F set an unbeatable record, shooting down 5,155 planes in less than 2 years.
Then there is the F7F Tiger Cat, and in Bertie Bazel's introduction, Sean knows that this aircraft has participated in the Battle of Changjin Lake.
When the U.S. Army was besieged in the Changjin Lake area, the "Tiger Cat" of the 542nd Squadron helped the main force of the 1st Marine Division withdraw from the hellish Changjin Lake area.
Finally, there is the F8F Panda, which is also the last propeller fighter.
After the visit, Sean explained his intention and wanted to buy the design materials and technology of the 'Cat' series of fighters.
It's data and technology, not patents, 40 years ago, patents have long expired, in fact, in the United States, this technology has long expired, as long as there are detailed design drawings and detailed information of various technologies, even companies that produce agricultural aircraft can complete production.
Inside the office, Bertie Bazel fell into deep thought, looked up half-loudly and said, "These are all expired technologies, not that they can't be sold, and Mr. Sean also knows that they are not worth much." ”
"So, I'm curious to know, why did Mr. Sean buy these things?"
Sean thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course it's going to be produced to make money, otherwise, it wouldn't be to make a big toy." ”
Bertie Bazel looked confused, "This kind of old plane? Make hay? Sorry sir, I'm not questioning you, I'm just, it's just hard to imagine what it would be like for such an old-fashioned grandpa plane to take part in battle. ”
"I really can't imagine where they would be used."
"Let's talk about whether we can sell it first." Sean raised an eyebrow.
Bertie Bazel tilted his head and thought about it, he couldn't find a reason to refuse, although the technology was Grumman's, but this kind of old-fashioned thing was really not so cherished, and it was not enough to offend Rockefeller and Sean, "Of course it's no problem." ”
"It's actually very simple, it's just ......" Sean looked up into Bertie Bazel's eyes and said with a sincere face, "Mr. Bazel will definitely not steal business from me, right?" ”
"No, no, no, Mr. Sean is joking, how could I do that!" Bertie Bazel hurriedly waved his hand, "I am an honest businessman, and I would never do such a despicable thing as plagiarism." ”
If an ordinary person comes up with a good idea, Bertie Bazel may still think of doing something tricky, and the best result is only to give the creator a small profit.
Of course, this insignificance is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime.
Whether it is hypocrisy, propaganda products, buying people's hearts, or buying horse bones, after all, it is still to make more money, anyway, capitalism is indeed doing a good job in this regard.
But if this man becomes Sean Rockefeller......
Not to mention who dares to plagiarize the American shareholder Rockefeller in the United States, it is Sean himself, and that is not a good talker!
Rockefeller may be afraid of identity, and will only use business methods and connections to mentally attack his opponent in exchange for the ...... in front of him Whoever in high society doesn't know Sean, the biggest possibility is to solve the problem physically!
"Hahaha, I knew Mr. Bazel was a man of integrity." Sean laughed and gave a thumbs up, and then said with a smile: "There is not only the United States in this world, you who have been living in the United States, living in New York, the most prosperous and top city in the world, can't imagine what backward areas are like. ”
"You have lived in the center of the world for too long, and you have no idea that even the technology of World War II is still advanced and unsurpassed in nearly half of the world."
"Even if it is this kind of propeller fighter, there are only 10 countries in the world that can produce it."
"And then?" Bertie Bazel spread his hands, and he didn't understand what it mattered.
"Okay......" Sean repeated what he had said to Old David.
Bertie Bazel had an instant realization!
Yes, now there is no world war!
In the area where the war occurred, the warring parties were inferior to World War II in any aspect in terms of the number of troops, the quality of the soldiers, the scope of operations, the intensity of the war, and the scientific and technological content.
The 'Cat' series of fighters is the most outstanding fighter in World War II, and it is fully capable of meeting the current combat needs, not to mention, Grumman has more advanced technology, which can completely make the old F6F re-engined.
They have stayed in the United States for too long, they only have the US military in their eyes, and they have forgotten that there are many, many backward countries in the world, and their inertial thinking makes them not see the huge market of the third world at all.
And Sean, the man who walked on the battlefield himself, keenly watched the business opportunity!
There are no shoes in the classic Africa, and there are more ways to sell, and there are feet!
Now in the late stage of the Cold War, the US military has fewer and fewer orders, and Grumman's business is in trouble, and it is worried that it will not find a way out.
Bertie Bazel's heart is racing, a vast market appears in front of him, and the company is about to be reborn in his hands, just ...... As soon as I looked up, I saw Sean's smiling face.
Suddenly, it was like being poured a poke of ice water on his head in the cold winter, and while he was awake in an instant, the whole person was half cold.
Intercept Shaun, difficult, difficult, difficult!
It's true that Grumman has the technology, but this thing has long passed the protection period!
There are too many companies that can manufacture such low-end products, even after modernization.
Bertie Bazel stretched out his hand to cover his chest and looked at Sean with a sad face, "I really regret it, I shouldn't have asked this more, if I didn't ask, I wouldn't have regretted it, I felt heartache, my heart was going to break!" ”
Although these small countries are poor, they can't stand a lot.
He is not an old man of David, he is a real industry insider, and he knows all kinds of data of fighter fighters, suitable combat environments, and the difference in combat effectiveness that can be exerted on different battlefields.
Jet fighters are indeed powerful and advanced, but their advantages are speed, combat radius, stealth capabilities, and the combat objectives targeted are survivability in air combat and in response to surface-to-air missile attacks.
However, these abilities are simply not needed in the area where the current war is taking place!
What they need is ground attack capability, ground-to-air reconnaissance, easy operation, low consumption, ultra-long cruise time, and guard against individual anti-aircraft missiles and antiaircraft guns......
What a jet fighter!
"Do you want to help me?" Sean smiled and looked at Bertie Bazel, "Build an aircraft manufacturing company specifically for the Third World." ”
Bertie Bazel laughed dryly, although Grumman has been in trouble recently, he is also one of the largest fighter manufacturers in the United States and even the world, he is crazy to do some bullshit with Sean Third World, isn't that just selling rags!
"Mr. Sean, I admit that this is a virgin land that has yet to be developed, and theoretically there will be relatively good market prospects, but aircraft manufacturing is not so simple, this is not a tractor, nor is it an agricultural aircraft, it is not a drawing that can be used as a fighter jet casually, just like Mr. Sean himself said, there are not 10 countries in the world that have the ability to manufacture fighter jets."
"That's why I'm telling you this." Sean smiled and shrugged, "What does Grumman have in mind." ”
"We Grumman are responsible for redesigning, manufacturing, and selling this new propeller fighter, and Mr. Sean doesn't have to worry about anything, and will get 15% of the net profit, which I think is a more reasonable cooperation plan."
"Ha, let's talk about the full set of design drawings and techniques for the Cat series." Sean said with a sneer.
"This ......" Bertie Bazel frowned, he already knew that there was such a big market, and now how could he be willing to sell the design drawings and technology!
"Huh?" Sean's face suddenly fell, "What, Bertie Bazel, you're kidding me!" ”
"There are some things in the military's abandoned airfields, and the scrapped aircraft of the 'Cat' series can be assembled even if they are disassembled from each other, and there is no difficulty in restoring the technology." Sean stood up and looked at Bertie Bazel condescendingly, "You have to understand one thing, I, Sean, are kind-hearted, because Rockefeller is a shareholder of Grumman, because of respect for the original factory, because of respect for the Grumman family, this is why I found your Grumman face, and I didn't hide it!" ”
"If someone chooses to be greedy because of my good intentions, believe me, there is no honest person, God will punish him, including his whole family, there will be no good end, he will go to hell!"
Bertie Bazel's face was instantly ugly, how to say that he was also the helmsman of a world-famous military company, and it was the first time that he was threatened in front of him.
"Be careful, be careful of any robbery that happens around you, there will be flying stray bullets, be careful of those who have an emotional breakdown and take revenge on society, be careful of driving a large truck that is out of control when fatigued, be careful of drivers who are drunk or pumping and drag racing, be careful of throwing objects from high altitudes, be careful of fires caused by electricity leakage, and even go to the hospital for a physical examination, be careful when encountering repeated needles and contracting AIDS when you have blood drawn!"
Every time Sean said the same, Bertie Bazel's face turned pale, how to be careful with these things!
But Sean is talking about punishment from God, which is very doctrinal, and people can't find fault with it, but as long as you are not stupid, you know what it means!
"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!" Bertie Bazel hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm a very honest person, but, just...... I don't know how to cooperate. ”
It's just a threat, and Bertie Bazel can't do anything with Sean, but let him take this threat as a deaf ear, he obviously doesn't dare.
There are many people in the United States who can get rid of Sean and go it alone, not afraid of Xiong's revenge, such as several major families and several major conglomerates, but this definitely does not include Grumman, let alone Bertie Bazel.
Sean laughed, sat down again, and said with a kind face: "I'm just joking, business negotiations." ”
The corners of Bertie Bazel's mouth twitched: You call threatening to kill the whole family a business negotiation?
Okay, count yourself ruthless!
"Mr. Sean thinks it's better to work together." Bertie Bazel collected his mood and asked solemnly, in this negotiation, he knew that he was in a total passivity.
"Like I said, I can have other ways to get the production technology of the Cat series without giving Grumman a penny, do you admit it?" Sean asked, tilting his head.
Bertie Bazel nodded.
"Very well, on the basis of this consensus, I want to say that I respect intellectual property rights, and I also care about my reputation, so I will not do such a damn thing." Sean said with a serious face.
It's definitely not because his mother is dead, absolutely not!
Sean really hates those who don't respect intellectual property rights, never study themselves, and can take other people's results casually when they open their mouths and say that they are all from the state.
In the end, there is no innovation, and whoever invests in the research is a big fool.
Forget about the outside, the key is to do it internally, this is not short-sighted, to put it bluntly, it is still the same sentence, this is not a reading in the official position, it is just a strange and obscene skill, and your results are given to your face!
Ahem, yes, it's piracy!
Absolutely nothing else, trust me!
