Workshop office.

Xu Fei finished reading the arms procurement project announced in North America, rummaged through the drawers, and found a set of CDs and secret keys that he obtained after Foreman acquired small and medium-sized arms companies in North America.

A brand-new IBM military laptop was then brought in, covered with the camera, and connected to the Internet via a German Internet Protocol address through a network adapter from TEP Computer Services.

Install the CD, enter the three strings of keys, and log in to the North American military e-commerce system.

This system is a key project in the field of defense procurement in North America after the M8 incident.

It is also called the procurement and logistics support of the armament system.

To put it simply, all the compradors of the North American military department are done here.

The approximate process is as follows:

The North American military department is ready to make a budget, and requires the three armed services to report the numbers separately, and the procurement planning departments of the three services post the data, and the North American military department plans the budget, also known as PPBS.

After that, the budget was distributed to the procurement departments of the three services, which carried out the bidding of → enterprises→ the inspection of the standards of the military department→ the procurement of the military department→ the appropriation of the congress→ the production of enterprises→ the sampling of the military department→ the sampling of the congressional → delivery.

There are also several branches among them, such as the development of new armaments, experiments, appraisals, procurement, maintenance, and support.

Another example is the special procurement of various branches of the military→ self-procurement.

Energy projects are the responsibility of the Ministry in charge of peace and armed forces.

Part of the military aerospace, belongs to the Aerospace Administration.

Some military land transportation and ships belong to North American transportation.

In addition, there is strategic procurement, including electronic warfare systems, missile management systems, peaceful arms maintenance, and so on.

But the system has a 'priority'.

One is homegrown defense contractors, including Raytheon, Boeing, General Electric/Power, Martin, Grumman, United Defense, Honeywell, Haliburton, Texas, and many more.

The second is the supplier of the NATO system, including Ingelo BAE, Rolls-Roys, Smith Group, VT Group, Deutsche Lyinmetall, Hensoldt, ThyssenKrupp, KMW, Fakoku Dassault, Italy Lipin Mecanica and so on.

The third is the franchise partners, including Wajima Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, NEC, Nanbangzi Hyundai Heavy Industries, and Daewoo, which has gone bankrupt, etc.

Based on the above, not all procurement items can be seen by armed equipment merchants who are eligible to enter the e-commerce system.

Small and medium-sized armament companies like the one acquired by Foreman can only see combat uniforms, combat boots, goggles, tactical helmets, and heavy body armor.

Therefore, Xu Fei activated two more computers to log in to the e-commerce system of United Defense and the logistics support system of the Humphreys base.

As a German enterprise, the iron sheet company seems to be in the second priority, but in fact it is only a novice.

Just like TEP looking for a loan from the World Clearing Bank, it needs to be reviewed for the first time, and even if it is passed, it will be given a maximum of 1 billion US dollars.

There are subsequent loans and repayments, and the second batch of 2 billion quotas.

Continue to borrow and repay, and the third batch of 5 billion quotas.

In other words: only when you are familiar can you get a big order, and you can carry out rebate operations.

Therefore, the iron sheet company needs to grow from small to big and grow slowly.

And the United Defense ......

This is one of the largest defense contractors in North America.

In the field of light armament, the priority can be called unique.

Otherwise, the Bradley series of infantry vehicles would have been outlawed long ago.

At the beginning, TEP changed from a German company to an American company, and Strauss changed from German to American, just to keep this.

Through the joint defense, we can see more budgets and procurement lists, and then through the logistics support system of the Humphreys base, we can know who the person in charge of procurement is, and even through the logistics support system of the North American base in Berlin, the base in West Asia, and the base in Nanyang, we can find more reviewers and persons in charge of sampling inspections......

Things are easy to do.

There is no need to look at other people's quotations, their own costs + operating fees + federal taxes + state taxes + Director Xu's hardship fees + iron sheet company profits = quotations.

"1 million sets of tricolor desert camouflage, supplied to the land department, 5 sets per person... A single piece is filled with 75 US dollars. ”

"The new UCP cement color camouflage, that is, digital camouflage, belongs to the nature of testing, 100,000 sets, supplied to the West Asia Marine Corps, a single piece... Fill 80 US dollars. ”

"NWUT dark blue camouflage 300,000 sets, supplied to the North American Maritime Department, single piece... 110 US dollars. ”

"It's strange, the sea soldier wears dark blue, if you accidentally fall into the sea, the surroundings are all blue, when can you find it?"

"The Marine Corps of the Sea is wearing cement-colored camouflage in the yellowish environment of West Asia, isn't this a live target?"

"Could it be that the colors of the troops and combat uniforms are reversed?

Xu Fei thought for a while, and quickly found the samples and the functions of each clothing module designated by the North American Military Department.

Make no mistake, that's it.

"What a genius design!"

Xu Fei was amazed and continued to check the bidding book.

The two sides are not familiar with each other, and more things are better than less things, so be it.

Besides, no matter what the other party does, he has no reason to refute it.

"1 million sets of Rothco waterproof combat boots and 1 million sets of non-waterproof combat boots...... The design is so heavy, aren't you afraid that the soldiers will dislike it? ”

Xu Fei suddenly remembered the head of logistics at Camp Humphreys, and the 'reselling' he had mentioned to him before.

After the summer procurement project was completed, the GIs got their shoes and sold them all to the citizens of Nanbangzi, and then bought cheaper and lighter high-quality goods from the mall to wear them.

"It's better to produce 2 million sets in accordance with the standards of the North American military department, and then slightly adjust the style, reduce the weight, and produce 2 million sets of lightweight models."

"The former is issued to North American GIs, and the latter is sold to North American GIs."

"The unit price of the former is 300 US dollars, and the latter is not a problem to sell 7 or 80 US dollars."

"Sure enough, it's this kind of inconspicuous small order that makes the most money."

"ESS Profile NVG goggles, FASR tactical helmet, new IBA 'Interceptor' heavy body armor...... Life-saving things, don't make a fuss, save your own reputation. ”

"This ilbe drinking backpack... Weight reduction, thinning, double manufacturing.

”

"This ...... Weight reduction, shrinking, double production. ”

Xu Fei worked hard all morning, and after reorganizing, he found that it was a small project, but the purchase amount was still as high as 1.07 billion US dollars.

If you remove the costs of each link, you can earn 700 million US dollars.

If you count the 'double manufacturing', you can earn another 300 million US dollars from the North American GIs.

Combined, the total profit actually exceeded the order amount.

"Could it be that this is the legend, a book of ten thousand profits?!"

Xu Fei couldn't help but take a look at other small projects through the e-commerce system of United Defense.

Panoramic night vision devices, you can make them yourself.

Finger-based laser friend or foe recognizer? It seems that you can make your own home.

Electronically Stabilized Telescope...... Mere trifle.

Squad machine gun scope?

Enhanced Scope?

Lightweight laser-pointed rangefinder?

Through-the-wall detection sensing system?

Wrist video Wi-Fi?

Xu Fei picked and chosen, listed all the weapons that he could make, and found that the total order had risen to 2.1 billion US dollars.

I'm a newbie, so I definitely won't be able to get so many items.

It is necessary to let the United Defense come out, grab the order, and then entrust the production to the iron sheet company.

"It seems that there is a reason to find a cooperation between TEP and the iron company."

"But what reason do I find... That's right, build an airship! ”

"United Defense intends to enter the field of airships, there is technology, there is no material, Strauss personally visited Foreman, good things to say, in the end, Strauss took the light armament order, impressed Foreman, in exchange for a nylon fiber and carbon fiber skeleton procurement contract."

Xu Fei pondered carefully and felt very reasonable.

Immediately shut down all computers and came to the Wenyu area.

The team responsible for the 'Kirov fried fish' has edited the video.

The footage includes footage of Kirov's interior, footage of the flight, footage of carrying an oversized oil tank, footage of dropping the canister, and footage of the boom......

"Pass it to HQ and let the news be announced."

……

If it is said that the airship transportation, airship stealth, air carrier, and airship launch platform that the iron company had conceived before, it was just a concept, which made various countries and armament companies excited, and planned to purchase some raw materials for research.

Then, the polished video, coupled with the abnormal situation reported by the C-17 flight team of the Yongsan base, and the confirmation of Midway, means that the first stealth heavy bombardment airship in human history has been born, and a new era has come!

Although the deterrent power of the airship is not comparable to that of the peaceful world, it can restrain the sails.

This makes many countries that are eager to have aircraft carriers, but cannot build or feed them, ecstatic.

And countries with aircraft carriers, while not being reconciled, dare not lag behind.

For a time, the purchasing groups that arrived in Berlin flocked to the governor's office.

or to curry, or to cooperate, or to threaten......

The head of the German country is under great pressure, but he is also angry.

"Mr. Governor, North America said that as long as the technology and materials of the Kirov airship are handed over, we can be exempted from the 1.72 billion US dollars in military expenses that we have owed for five years."

"This money is a piece of, besides, the airship project is not mine, let them go to Foreman."

Foreman was forced to welcome the guests and entertained the Thor purchasing group first, but the other party only understood the material properties and did not plan to build an airship.

Subsequently, the Boeing purchasing delegation was entertained, and the two sides did not negotiate due to price issues.

Immediately afterwards, Grumman, General Electric, and General Dynamics procurement delegations were entertained......

It's a pity that the three parties also did not reach an agreement due to various reasons.

After a long time.

In front of numerous journalists, Foreman met with Strauss.

In the past, two down-and-out people who shared weal and woe together are now parting ways due to uneven distribution of wealth and different business philosophies, which is really impressive.

And Strauss's initiative to make amends also made people stunned.

Soon, North American United Defense announced that it would introduce a new generation of nylon fiber and ultra-lightweight carbon fiber skeleton to fully enter the field of airships, and spend 3 billion US dollars to build a new generation of 'Aerospace Carrier-USS Boston'.

The Iron Sheet Company announced that it had received an arms order from United Defense, worth at least $1 billion, but refused to disclose the relevant details.

…………

"North America's armament orders are 1 billion + 1.07 billion, counting the income from stock speculation and the income from ferry tickets, the 5 billion borrowed from Raymond, Pop, and Romney before can almost be repaid."

"Looking back and waiting for buyers to purchase raw materials for airships, the 5 billion loan from the World Clearing Bank should be able to make up for it."

Xu Fei pondered for a long time, looked left and right, and found that there was nothing at hand.

Log in to the Whoosh Fox forum immediately and brag about the value of the airship with a trumpet.

But look at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer: 4:28 p.m.

Startled, he got up and ran out of the office, put on a vicious dog, and ran wildly.

Finally, stuck at the last minute before the end of the shift meal, I rushed into the big cafeteria and came to the food area.

There are still a few steamed buns in the steamed bread basket, and the vegetable pot is still heating.

"I'm glad I didn't fall out."

Aunt Cooking: "The executive chef said a second ago that it could be poured out, and I wondered, the director hasn't come yet, how can I feed the pigs?" ”

"I don't like to hear that."

"I won't leave it for you next time."

“……”

Xu Fei stuffed three meat buns into the mouth of the vicious dog, picked up the plate, turned around to find the location, and looked up to find that the canteen was full of people.

"Factory director, just eat?" A few employees who had already seen him before, but pretended not to see him, turned around and said hello.

"yes, what are you doing?"

"Watch the Olympics and draw big prizes."

The carrying capacity of the airship is indeed high, but the 120,000 employees of Daze Industrial Park, Dezhou Instruments, Harsco Oriental Industries, FMC Oriental Company, and Guangqu Electromechanical, 210,000 employees, it is impossible for all of them to remove the mud.

Moreover, the Thin Mud Olympic Committee made Director Xu unhappy, and it was even more impossible for him to help the Thin Mud Belt create any consumption.

Therefore, the people who go are all strong men who listen to the instructions of the factory director.

Carry with you a marching tent, a portable thermos, FMC's own military rations......

Plus the instant food, electric oven, Orleans chicken wings, chicken crispy bones, and ...... carried by the airship

Eat enough, sleep soundly, and cheer for your own athletes, by the way, secretly sell airship tickets, and then set up a stall to make a small barbecue.

In one fell swoop, it is very in line with the style of the factory director.

And the employees who stayed in Daze still worked three shifts, after all, it was not the Beijing Olympics, so why were they so excited.

But looking at the scene in the big canteen, this year's Olympics seems to have attracted people's attention.

At half past four in the afternoon, the morning shift got off work, and the evening shift was not yet on duty, only the middle shift was in the workshop.

The workers who came to watch the TV were crowded in the big cafeteria, playing cards, drinking beer, chatting and fartizing, and sleeping on the ground......

It's like taking a train.

"When does it start?"

"It's 7 p.m. over there, we're 5 p.m. here, and there's still half an hour."

Xu Fei nodded, looked around again, and found that the large color TVs hanging above the first floor had all been replaced with 36-inch LCD screens.

Millennium,With the increase in opening up,The types of joint ventures have increased,Huaxia color TV industry ushered in an unprecedented price war。

All kinds of titles, all kinds of advertising, all kinds of promotion, and even manufacturers have launched Olympic color TVs.

Affected by this, the price of large-head machines has been greatly reduced, and large-screen ultra-thin TVs have also begun to enter ordinary families.

Daze Industrial Park has always paid attention to corporate culture, and naturally there is no shortage of large color TVs.

Canteens, dormitories, rest areas, packing workshops, and bus stop signs can be seen everywhere.

It's a pity,Peony TV, which signed a supply and demand agreement with its own family,9Announced the suspension of production in early September,It seems that it is going to go out of business,Now I can't give the cost price。

Otherwise, men's and women's toilets should also be installed.

Xu Fei found a place to solve the problem of food and clothing, and the millennium Olympics also ushered in the entrance of athletes and the lighting ceremony of the flame.

The effect of the program is better than any in previous years, but I believe that the Beijing Olympics will be better.

It's good to look at it, after all, it will be one less session. ’

……

It's night.

North American Pentagon went to work, which belonged to the iron company's own 1.07 billion armament order, and was the first to pass the audit.

However, passing the audit does not mean that you have won the procurement project, and you need to submit samples for standard inspection.

If the criteria are met, or if the head of procurement in the military department is satisfied, the other party will ask Congress for funding.

If Congress is equally satisfied, regardless of the high and low, this order will be basically completed.

Xu Fei contacted Raymond and asked the other party to help with the operation.

Two days ago, 'Rainy Pufei' harvested GE again, and General Raymond, who had spare money, naturally would not refuse.

However, the so-called operation is not to send money, let alone send cards.

Otherwise, once exposed, it will become a shocking scandal, not only will Raymond be implicated, but his own armament company will also go bankrupt.

But.

For example, the second reviewer, Carino, whose son was sentenced to nine years in prison for smoking noodles and selling noodles, General Raymond had a way to take him out and send him to live in Boston, the safest city in the world, and then ask the best local doctor, Director Yang of the Department of Psychiatry, to help him quit his addiction.

As a mother, Carino had no reason to refuse.

For example, the person in charge of sampling, Mattia, whose mother has always wanted to live in a welfare home, but for various reasons, could not get approval, and now it is okay, the best welfare home in Texas-Houston, sent an invitation.

Mattia must have understood what that meant.

Therefore, this operation is human nature, more effective than money, and it will not be easily discovered.

"Lao Lei, you say, will we suddenly become villains one day?"

"You think too much, capital is far dirtier than you think."

"Well, I'm too upright to rub sand in my eyes."

In small talk.

Another 1 billion orders that United Defense helped compete with were also approved.

However, the number of bids shows 3, which means that there are two more companies that have passed the first link.

Xu Fei didn't have the slightest worry, Smith's path was wilder than his, and it was not a matter of winning the order at all.

After that, the relevant samples were sent to Massachusetts-Boston and Texas-Arlington by Gulfstream V-business jet for sample inspection.

Wait until the next day.

Foreman called, and the airship material was sold.

Sange purchased 10 tons of low-grade nylon fiber and 20 tons of low-grade ultra-lightweight carbon fiber skeleton, with a total payment of 500 million US dollars and a unit price of about 556 US dollars / kg.

In addition, the two parties signed a confidentiality agreement to transfer a set of Zeppelin technology, with a total amount of 200 million US dollars.

Well, Led Zeppelin, not Kirov.

Enamel purchased 10 tons of medium nylon fiber and 20 tons of medium ultra-light carbon fiber skeleton, with a total payment of 1 billion US dollars.

Ibid.

Ibid.

Ditto for local chicken.

As for why the purchase amount, it is 10 tons of nylon and 20 tons of carbon fiber skeleton.

Packages are sold, otherwise they will not be sold.

Boeing, Grumman, Idoli, etc., are still waiting, and seem to plan to wait for the first batch of purchasers to produce prototypes before placing orders.

】

After Xu Fei ended the call with Foreman, he raised the price of materials by 30% on the spot.

Without it, sales are booming, and production can't keep up.

Yi Duli couldn't bear it at first, so he asked the German governor to be the middleman, and gave Foreman many small gifts, and finally got a package at the original price.

Soon, Grumman placed an order, General Electric placed an order, and Boeing placed an order......

"Let's build it!"

Xu Fei can be sure that the world will not be able to build a Kirov airship.

Because they draw scoops according to the gourd, they can't seem to make the same paragraph.

Just like before, three metal shelves were built in the airport for pretence, and now they are replaced with carbon fiber skeletons and nylon fiber skins, and then filled with helium, even with 12 thrusters, the speed is to death slow.

Especially in the event of a strong wind, the interior of the airship will creak and almost fall apart.

But now is certainly not to discourage the enthusiasm of countries around the world to build airships, but to advocate the future of airships, sell as many raw materials as possible, so that the iron company has a foothold.

As for the customer who can't build an airship, what should I do if I come to the door?

If you can't make it, you can only say that the technology can't do it.

Like the Boeing 747, the principles and materials are all there, and you can't build them.

Besides, you buy low-grade materials, or medium-grade materials, why don't you buy high-grade materials, or even Supreme materials, and try it?

What if it succeeds?!
