Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics
Chapter 62 Expanding Business--Glimmer Prosthetic Body
"Great! The military decided to allocate 300 million funds for further research and cooperation!"
In the alley of Hell's Kitchen, Yuri was very excited in front of Carl.
$300 million!How many fucking uzi do you have to sell to make so much money!
Sure enough, if you want to make big money, you must choose the right customers!
Now that he has hooked up with one of the world's largest arms dealers, will the days of getting rich be far behind?
"Yes, there are several boxes of prototypes that have been deposited at the port. The money is placed in the company's account and will be temporarily transferred in your name."
Carl gave an address, located in a container area of the port.
Yuri was stunned for a moment after taking the list: "So many? I thought this thing..."
"Is it very rare?" Karl smiled, "I said, this is just basic equipment, but it is still necessary to make some investment to look like you are just starting out."
These Hex weapons are not difficult to make, the key is the "gunpowder" used in them.
The news that Africa can produce shimmer and synthetic Hex crystals is really good news, and it means that engineering problems have also been solved.
From now on, Hex Technology Company will continue to sell these ground artificial crystal powders.
As for production and research and development... Karl does not want to take this part of the business into his hands. On the contrary, he hopes that these forces will do research and development on their own.
What we need to do now is to expand production and expand the company's scale.
"Speaking of investment, Hammer Industries and some other established arms dealers and Old Antiques are planning to take shares. Should we consider exchanging ownership of the company for a little... help?"
"No, I want to retain absolute control of the company."
Carl shook his head.
For start-up companies, especially arms companies, it is very cost-effective to use public transactions and exchange equity for investment.
Because the sale of equity not only means that you will obtain a large amount of working capital, but also means that you will tie some old guys who will be impacted by new technologies into the same boat.
Touching interests is touching souls. If power is not decentralized, we will face fierce confrontation, which may even lead to escalation.
But releasing the equity means that Carl's company is not his company.
Maybe one day in the future, they will even use the same "business means" to kick him out.
Just like The Osborne Company kicked Norman Osborn out.
"Absolute control?" Yuri was stunned, "But the condition of this investment is... we have to transfer a certain amount of shares to a financial investment bank, uh... there may not be any terms."
"I know, you don't need to explain--that's why I want to give you multiple sets of prototypes."
Yuri's eyes suddenly shook - he was playing with fire!
This mysterious boss wants him to make contact with other countries!
Funding for the Department of Defense is not provided directly by the military, but is approved and then appropriated by Congress.
Members of Congress are elected through elections, which are usually sponsored by wealthy individuals.
In other words, whoever sponsors a congressman usually represents the interests of which force or class.
Although the conditions for the 300 million investment were not stated clearly, after Yuri's contact during this period, plans had been made secretly.
The shares of Hex Technology are to be publicly traded, and 40% of the shares are to be taken out by the financial world, and the buyers and their prices have been secretly finalized.
Although it is definitely not as good as the estimated value, it is at least a few million dollars.
But Carl now says that they want to maintain the company's independence...
Documents with instructions in different languages are also prepared!What is this for!
Yuri swallowed: "Boss, your life will be in danger if you play like this, you know that, right?"
Karl, under the mask, sneered: "Of course I know, that's why I need you - otherwise tell me, what's the difference between your position as a tethered dog and now?
You don’t think you can make this money just by lying down, do you?Now listen, you're going to go around trying to get investment for me.
US dollars, pounds, francs, famous coins, rubles - the latter two may be a little different, but I don't care, you have to find a balance point for me.
The money can be less, and even technology patents and other things can be transferred, except for the company ownership. "
Yuri's face was a little red - it may take a little eloquence and courage to sell high-tech weapons that transcend the times, but it doesn't actually take that much.
This mysterious man is right: what is the value of his Yuri?
"If you want to be a big shot, you have to do something different. Do you understand?"
"...Okay." Yuri suddenly smiled as if he had figured it out, "I think it's because I've had such a good time during this period. In fact, I originally planned to go to Afghanistan to recycle some second-hand weapons to sell.
Thinking about it carefully, I should have... suffered all this. "
Karl also smiled: This kid was born to do this.
According to the plot of the movie, Yuri was already the world's largest arms smuggling dealer in 2000, causing even Interpol a headache.
But here, he was just starting to think about how to start a business, and was caught red-handed by Spider-Man.
"Prepare your plan. I know how to smuggle you. I will find a way to assign you a bodyguard."
After saying that, Karl left here.
Hextech is more than just an arms company.
Many people think that arms are quite profitable. This is a fact, but it is certainly not the arms dealers who make individual equipment.
The bulk of the arms that really make money are those aircraft, tanks, missiles, etc. Individual weapons are just an add-on.
Carl is still unable to understand the design of the Jericho missile, which means that he cannot make these things yet, and Hex Technology's revenue projects must be reconsidered.
It just so happens that now Carl has gained knowledge in [Low Light Application (Advanced)] and can expand his prosthetic production technology.
……
Carl's next stop is a hospital, located in Hell's Kitchen.
The U.S. military retirement system is not a good one, or in other words, due to some social and political reasons, the life of most retired veterans is not good.
Especially those who are missing arms and legs. The already severe PTSD is made even more serious by the missing limbs.
Connors is a military doctor, and his initial research direction was actually prosthetics, but perhaps because the war actually had some impact on him, he became more and more extreme.
Eventually became a lizard man.
Now his relationships have given Karl a chance. The hospital he is heading to is a hospital that takes in disabled veterans.
Walking into the inpatient department, Karl saw some veterans who were still doing rehabilitation training.
These soldiers were his targets this time. Their mutilated limbs gave them needs, and their insistence on rehabilitation showed that they had not been defeated by PTSD and were still valuable.
"So you said you can give me a better prosthetic body?" A middle-aged man sitting on the boat sneered, "Isn't that still a prosthetic body?"
He was a black man, tall, and his position in the army was that of a medic, but his academic qualifications were not as good as those of Connors, and he did not have Connors's perseverance.
My current identity is as an insurance salesman - yes, I do sales.
A retired soldier lost his legs in a shameless battle, but could only find such a job when he returned home.
Really good fortune.
Although he said so, he still tried to walk with the prosthetic leg with the help of the nurse and tried to adapt to this life.
But he knew that he would never be able to run again.
Carl was not discouraged when he saw this. He rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the high-tech prosthetic body mixed with vibranium.
"Mr. Curtis Hoyle, there is a difference between a prosthetic body and a prosthetic body."
Vibranium worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is mixed in medical alloy and wrapped in ceramic. Under the ceramic are various energy supply lines.
Although it is still somewhat different from the arm, it looks very substantial-much better than Connors's withered arm.
Under the gaze of the veteran, Karl snapped his fingers with this hand and opened the suitcase on the table.
A snap of the fingers?The veteran was quite shocked - this was not something his prosthetic body could do!
"Uh... I think I'm still somewhat interested in this medical project. Can you take a look at the contract?"
In the alley of Hell's Kitchen, Yuri was very excited in front of Carl.
$300 million!How many fucking uzi do you have to sell to make so much money!
