The process is not important, not at all, the two reached a consensus after some cordial and friendly communication, Sean has the ability to take the technology without giving a penny for independent production, but Sean is a particular person and decided to bring the original author to make a fortune together.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Grumman President Bertie Bazel doesn't know that for Sean, the most urgent thing is time.

According to the normal logic, from the establishment of the company, the search for a site, the construction of a factory, the purchase of equipment, the recruitment of a technical team, research and development, design, improvement, experimentation, finalization, and the determination of the process...... Until the product is off the assembly line, about three years.

Order delivery, to make money, about 5 years!

This is the process of developing and designing an aircraft under normal circumstances.

Although the propeller aircraft technology of the 'Cat' series is very old, the new aircraft needs to add a lot of modern equipment, use new technology, improve performance and other requirements, even if the technology is mature, it will take at least three years to make money.

There's no way to shorten the time any further.

And what about Sean's plan?

Half!

The first generation of aircraft went off the production line!

The timeline is stretched to a few years, and Sean has some means to make money, so he doesn't care about fucking propeller planes!

After reaching the above agreement, Sean motioned for Bertie Bazel to propose a cooperation plan.

After thoroughly recognizing Grumman's weak position in the negotiations, as a professional professional manager, Bertie Bazel quickly put himself in the right position, "I have two sets of plans, Grumman is responsible for modernizing the design and transformation of the old model, coming up with new products, and is responsible for production and sales, since Mr. Sean has put forward the idea, then I think you must have a sales plan, right." ”

Seeing Sean nodding, Bertie Bazel continued: "In this case, Mr. Sean can take 50% of the new aircraft's pure profits!" ”

Grumman made a big concession to this plan, at least Bertie Bazel sees it this way, Sean doesn't need to invest, there is no risk, and he can get 4% of the profit, which is simply a profit.

"Are there any other cooperation options?" Sean asked again.

Bertie Bazel raised his eyebrows, "If Mr. Sean is willing to take risks and invest in research, then he can contribute new patents and get 5% of the profits, which is the biggest concession." ”

"How long does it take for a product to roll off the production line?" Sean asked quietly.

"Three years."

Sean coughed lightly, looked at Bertie Bazel and said, "I also have a set of cooperation plans, you listen." ”

"Form a new company, you hold shares in Grumman, the new company does not require you to invest a penny, the company's share ratio, 2:8."

"So what do we put into it?" Bertie Bazel asked.

"Some technical personnel and original materials are seconded, and 150% of the salary is paid by the new company during the secondment period."

"And then?" Seeing that Sean was no longer talking, Bertie Bazel asked with a puzzled expression.

"No more."

"No more!" Bertie Bazel looked at Sean in shock, "Just need us to put in such a little thing?" ”

Sean nodded.

"Then we can agree in principle." Bertie Bazel thought for a moment and nodded.

In the case of only a few people on loan and no need to take risks, this distribution ratio is acceptable.

"Where is Mr. Sean going to build the factory? What about R&D centers? In addition, the production plan and the product off the assembly line, we have to send a research team according to the situation, after all, we can't delay the normal work of Grumman. Bertie Bazel asked casually.

"There is no factory." Sean shook his head.

Bertie Bazel: ???

Looking up and plucking his ears with a confused face, Bertie Bazel thought he had misheard, "Mr. Sean, I didn't hear clearly?" ”

"There's nothing to fuss about, there's no factory, and there's no production plan, but I can tell you when the product will come off the assembly line, and I'll sell the plane in half a year at most!" Sean said it lightly.

But Bertie Bazel is not sure.

Standing up from his seat, Bertie Bazel waved his arms and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "Mr. Sean, what are you making an international joke about, there is no factory?" Don't have an R&D center? Do you want the product to be off the assembly line in half a year? ”

"It's you crazy or I'm crazy, it's impossible, we both have precious time, and this joke isn't funny at all."

"Who was kidding you!" Sean rolled his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and raised his hand to press, "Calm down, calm down, OK?" ”

"Impossible? Where in this world there are so many impossibilities, only if you don't want to do it, there is no impossibility, since I said it, I am sure! ”

"Hah!" Bertie Bazel sneered, I would have been fooled by you if I were a layman, but he still walked over to Sean and sat down, to see what this famous, self-made rich man could do to accomplish this miracle.

"Here's my plan." Sean took a sip of coffee and then said slowly: "First of all, set a design standard for the new aircraft, cruising speed, combat radius, stall speed, mounted weapons, etc., and then, you send some technicians with information, and I will arrange someone to send them to the East." ”

"Oriental?" Bertie Bazel was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Oh my God, Mr. Sean, are you kidding, Dongfang, can they study airplanes?" It's simply the funniest joke I've ever heard. ”

He doesn't like the Orientals, he doesn't like them very much!

"The East, one of the countries in the world with a complete modern aircraft manufacturing industry chain." Sean tilted his head and looked at Bazel with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule, "You won't also be affected by propaganda, thinking that they still have big braids, ride horses, and can't eat poorly." ”

"Do you need me to remind you, A-6A attack aircraft."

Bertie Bazel's expression froze, and he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his nose, his face was full of embarrassment, well, habitual thinking, stereotypes, subconsciously ignoring.

He is engaged in fighter jets, and when he was reminded by Sean, he immediately remembered that the east can produce second-generation jet fighters, and the imitation of the MiG-19 has a production of nearly 6,000 aircraft.

It is this that makes Bazel hate, the second-generation J-67 once shot down 2 A-6A attack aircraft of the US military in 67, and this A-6A attack aircraft was produced by Grumman.

The bitter lord is here!

"Well, I admit that the East has the ability to design and build, but ...... They are all copied Soviets, and our Grumman is independently developed, and technically, the East has nothing to compare with us! Bazel said stiffly.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, or new planes and money-making." Sean nodded perfunctorily, "I will bring some technicians and materials to the east, there are not many technicians, the main thing is to provide ideas and guide the work, and then the scientific researchers in the east will help complete the design and test work." ”

"Why do we do this, we can do it on our own!" Bazel frowned, he didn't like the east, he didn't like it, it was a shame!

"Nonsense!" Sean rolled his eyes, "How much is the salary of a researcher in the United States a month, and do you know how much salary you need to pay for an American researcher to eat and live in the laboratory every day?" Do you know how many are in the east? ”

"Do you know how much money is invested in the research and development of the same technology in the United States? How much money is to invest in the east? ”

"Uh...... I don't know. Bazel shook his head stupidly, how could he care about any of this, but the capitalist's intuition told him that there might be a big gap.

"Let me tell you, the current monthly salary of aviation researchers in the east is 15-20 US dollars a month, and they work overtime voluntarily, without paying, including food and accommodation." Sean looked at Bazel with a strange smile.

"Poof!" Bazel really spewed out a mouthful of old blood, even if he didn't work overtime, the gap was a thousand times!

If you work overtime, the difference is 3,000 times, maybe more.

"If Grumman were to design and study this aircraft, how many researchers would you be able to send?" Sean still looked at each other with a strange expression.

"Two people." Bazel held out two fingers.

This refers to the project leader, who generally leads a research team with supporting auxiliary researchers and assistants, and generally a team of about 15 people.

This is already a lot, the annual salary of the project leader is very high, the salary of a team adds up, the monthly expenditure is about 250,000 US dollars, and the scientific research team that Grumman raises is not much.

The company has to consider the cost of operation, and the investment in scientific research is really too high.

There is a reason why many large companies are dragged down by the pressure of scientific research, and companies in the East are reluctant to invest in scientific research.

The so-called scientific research direction is illusory, and it is pure investment before the results are determined, and once the direction is wrong, the investment will be all wasted.

Taking the rear projection technology and LCD technology in the TV industry as an example, the competition between each other was very fierce back then, but the final result was that the company that bet on the rear projection suffered heavy losses.

There are countless similar examples, the battle between Blu-ray and HD in optical disc technology,

The Blu-ray camp is dominated by Sony, Mitsubishi, Dell and other companies, and the HD camp is Toshiba and el, and the final result is that the Blu-ray camp has lost all its money.

And even if there are results, it is still unknown whether it can bring profits, from laboratory results to industrial applications, it is a big hurdle, and this time is calculated in years.

How many results are rotten in the laboratory to eat ashes!

Even if industrialization is completed, it is still unknown whether the technology will be accepted by the market, and I am afraid that it will be put into production and rot in my hands.

In the face of so many difficulties, the vast majority of companies in the East are of course unwilling to invest money in this bottomless pit, and have time to speculate in real estate, engage in finance, dredge up the relationship above, and easily make money.

Crazy, take out the money and go to the water, and you can't see a single wave!

What's the use of really confusing you, it's not for everyone to be together when the time comes...... Ahem, it is useful to fight a lawsuit...... Do...... Ahem.

I think it's a little funny when you talk about the legal system - Zhou Weiming, director of the Zixi County Legislative Affairs Office.

Straight to the point......

Sean looked at Bazel with a smirk, "2 people, so you said that the new planes will be off the production line in three years, but I tell you, when you get to the east, I can convince them to use hundreds of people!" ”

"I said it's the project leader, not just anyone can count!" Bazel shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, I said that I am also a researcher at the level of the project leader!" Sean laughed a few times, "You don't know the system in the east, it's not capitalism, and researchers don't need corporate support, as long as there is a demand, the government can mobilize a large number of researchers to work for free with a word!" ”

"It's called the national system!"

"And it's just a 100-person project, it's nothing at all, and a few research institutes can make it up."

"Otherwise, why do you think their technology is developing so fast!" Sean snorted and continued: "Of course, this has nothing to do with us, we are just a group of companies, and we will definitely not provide more technical support than the Batumi agreement. ”

"No......" Bazel stood up and walked around the room with some collapse, if it was all according to what Sean said, then the cost gap in research was hundreds of times, maybe hundreds of thousands, millions would be done.

"But why would they want to help you design and build an airplane, are they crazy?"

"Certainly not for free!" Sean stretched out a finger and gestured in the air, "I provide the funds for research and design, and they can use my funds to engage in research and development, and the results are certain, so why not." ”

"That's impossible, we pay for research, the patent is naturally ours, how can it be given to the East, then something will happen, and those anti-China people in society and Congress will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble." Bazel's head shook like a rattle.

"A word of caution, I paid for it!" Sean smiled and raised his eyebrows, and then continued: "Of course, the patent is our company, there is no concept of intellectual property rights in the east, and in the east, no matter how big the invention is, it can only be rewarded for a few dozen yuan." ”

"Of course, this has nothing to do with us, they can use these technologies in China, but they can't use them in any export products, whether it's the U.S. government or the umbrella, they will maintain and let those countries know that infringing products cannot be imported!"

"And, for the East, the benefits don't stop there."

"Except for some technologies that are banned in Batumi, I will hand over all other spare parts to the East to produce, assemble, and then ship them to the United States by sea, and the landing is almost a finished product, of course, there is still a lack of some accessories that are prohibited in Batumi, such as night vision technology, radar technology, who knows, when the time comes, it will be enough to entrust Grumman for the final installation, maybe none of these, we just need to put a new company's trademark."

"This is called OEM, not a finished product sold to the outside world, there is no tariff when it arrives in the United States, we don't need to build a factory, we don't need to hire workers, we don't even need management costs, there is no patent cost, labor wages are 30 times lower than ours, and the cost of the final aircraft will be lower than you think."

Hearing Sean finish his complete thoughts, Bazel's eyes almost popped out, he is an insider, of course he understands how low the cost will be and how high the profit will be after excluding these.

Compared with the research and production of Grumman, the profit of 2 percent may be higher than that of 4 percent of the production by itself!

"Can you imagine how terrifying it would be for a country with a complete industrial chain to burst out of productive forces, at a rate that Grumman simply could not imagine!"

"So, in half a year, I'm going to start seeing profits!" Sean said it categorically, and Bazel listened with enthusiasm.

What hatred of the East, what Grumman's face, does not exist!

Make money, don't chill!

Bazel was excited at the thought of the terrifying profits that could be made in the short term, and he knew that Grumman had actually made more money than Sean had imagined.

The plane is not sold and finished!

Easy wear and tear parts, follow-up maintenance, etc., Sean runs a leather bag company, and in the end these tasks must be completed by Grumman, which means that as long as this series of aircraft is still in use, then Grumman will always have a steady stream of profits.

Of course, even if Sean sees these profits in the future, it is a big deal to put them in the joint venture, and Grumman's 2% profit is still the same.

The two set the general direction, and the registration of a new company and the negotiation of details are the business of the people below.

The only problem was that Sean was in a hurry to get the company up and running, giving clear orders to the negotiation teams on both sides.

Normal business negotiations are much slower, and it is normal to not be able to complete it in half a year, every detail has to be picked, and the difference of 0.5 percentage points is a huge profit, but Sean doesn't care!

3 days, all negotiations must be completed within 3 days!

Whoever dares to delay Sean to make money, Sean will let whoever has no need to make money in this life!

What is a quick negotiation?

Bazel has seen what it means to be vigorous and resolute, and he also knows why Sean can earn billions of wealth in just a few years.

In fact, Sean is also a habit left over from his previous life, and the east has been chasing others for more than 30 years.

After Sean delegated the negotiation work, he immediately asked Bazel to gather Grumman's experts, and within three days, he had to determine the expected parameters of the new aircraft, the technology to be equipped, and complete the theoretical demonstration and the construction of the basic framework.

This is really a fantasy in Bazel's opinion, and this can be completed in less than 3 months?

It's literally pushing the limits of his cognition, and he's going to see how Sean does it all the way.

In-room ......

Sean was in the main seat, 2 experts sat on the left and right sides, and then 8 technical backbones, and Bazel accompanied him in the last seat to listen.

"Don't tell me anything about this technology, that technology, everything is up to me!" Sean waved his hand impatiently.

"A month, what are you kidding, what's the point of such a parameter you are talking about? The cruising speed is 550 km, and the Hellcat 45 years ago has reached this level, so what are you studying? A young man pouted and looked at Sean with squinted eyes and a proud expression.

For technicians, the most annoying thing is this kind of layman who doesn't understand anything to point fingers.

Technosaurus is not happy to listen to, as a free American people, I don't feel comfortable without two sentences.

The two experts don't speak, they are old oilers, and there are competing interests in scientific research or something.

If you want to successfully complete scientific research tasks, have scientific research freedom, and earn a large amount of scientific research funds, you must take the lead in negotiations with your boss.

If the scientific research team can't get the dominance of scientific research, then it's not a fart scientific research...... Ahem.

Young people come out and rush to let the management understand the rigor of scientific research, understand what it means not to point fingers, and it doesn't matter if you speculate, and finally they come forward to make a round.

Sean looked at the young man with a cold face who popped out of his mouth with various professional terms, what wing root airfoil, wing tip airfoil, chord reverse angle, installation angle, geometric torsion......

What materials are new applications on extruded profiles, thin plates made of aluminum alloy double girder torsion-resistant......

What US military specifications and UK civil aircraft airworthiness requirements, what CNC integral machining, chemical milling and metal gluing......

Crackling is a squirt, Sean has not reacted, but Bazel is frowning more and more, although this guy's tone is very polite, but what he said is very correct, no matter from any point of view, it is impossible to complete the design finalization in a short period of time!

It's child's play, it's a fighter!

Sean became more and more annoyed when he listened, his eyes gradually narrowed, he reached out and pulled it out under his armpit, and a pistol fell into his hand, gently opened the safety, raised his hand, aimed, and the action was done in one go.

The young man was still spitting and spitting, only to hear a 'bang' of gunshots, a bullet grazed the young man's head and flew over, and the sound of the bullet cutting through the air passed through his ears, making his ears buzz.

The conference room fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Sean with a pistol in amazement.

The young man subconsciously turned his head to look back, as if to confirm something, only to see a crater appear on the wall of the conference room, and the bullet did not know where it had been refracted.

'Grunt' swallowed a mouthful of saliva, cold sweat broke out, instantly soaked through the clothes, and the young man's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although the others were not aimed at the guns, their reactions were not much better, and the sound of swallowing saliva rang out one after another, which was very clear in the conference room where pins could be heard.

There have been countless technical seminars for everyone here, quarrels and other things are commonplace, and it is not uncommon for them to wave their fists at each other when they are excited, after all, it is the United States.

But it was the first time that the gun was shot without making any noise, and it really hit the head.

If this is a little off, I can't imagine it, but now everyone sees it as brains.

It's just a little argument about scientific research, is it?

Yes!

As for it!

I'm scared to death!

They are just a group of scientific researchers, and they can't get in touch with the real high society at all, and newspapers and TV stations that target ordinary people can make fun of the president, but they don't dare to use Sean to expose the truth.

Even the news corps of its enemies, Murdoch, has been shallow in its criticism of megalomania and the like, without mentioning anything criminal.

The reporter knows it, but the more he knows, the more he doesn't dare to say it......

Bazel bounced up like a burning buttocks, I had heard that Sean was short-tempered, turned his face at every turn, and killed people like hemp, he used to think it was an exaggeration and someone smeared it, but now it seems that it ......

Three steps and two steps, staggered towards Sean, shouting as he ran, "Mr. Sean, Mr. Sean, calm down, no, really not, the young man is not sensible, give him a chance, put down the gun, put down the gun first and then speak." ”

"What are you doing in a daze, and you don't apologize to Mr. Sean." He turned his head and yelled at the young man.

The young lover shuddered reluctantly, and then he reacted and apologized to Sean stumblingly.

"Smack" Sean slapped the gun on the conference table, "Now tell me, whoever says it counts!" ”

"You say what you say!"

"Do the parameters make sense!"

"Meaningful, meaningful!"
