Men's Kapishi

With bright eyes and white teeth, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, but she is graceful, she brushed back her flying hair, and walked up to him in a few steps and offered her hand: "Murses, director of Rhine Life and Ecology Department, I am very glad to meet you, Mr Ice Cube."

"It's a great honor for Director Muirses to visit this ship." Ice shook hands with Muirses politely, and then invited: "It's windy on the deck, shall we go to the conference room to discuss in detail?"

"No, I'm here to invite Mr. Ice Cube to visit my land ship."

Is this an attempt to seize the initiative in negotiations?This young and beautiful woman is difficult to deal with.Ice Cube was vigilant inwardly: "Sorry, I'm on official business, so I'm sorry. If Miss Muirses wants to know something, we can have a brief communication in the conference room."

"Really? If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ice Cube's official business must be to participate in the Londinium Defense Exhibition." Muirses said with a smile, "Shall we make a bet?"

"Oh? What bet?"

"If Mr. Ice Cube refuses my invitation, Karak Heavy Industries will not be able to sell a single bullet at the exhibition." Muirses smiled and took out a yellow rifle bullet from his pocket, threw it on the deck, and issued a There was a clanging sound.

"No gambling." Ice Cube turned and walked back with a blank expression on his face, while the guard at the side also held the weapon at his waist, and was about to go forward to see off the guests.

"Okay, okay, since Mr. Ice Cube is not interested in this question, let's talk about something that everyone is interested in." Muirses finally took out his hand from his coat pocket, pressed his forehead with one hand, The action is exaggerated.

"What if Rhein-Great is willing to share the order of the Colombian military with your company? Mr. Ice Cube will not care about his KPI, right?"

"We're not very interested in a business that's not a monopoly." Bing Cube, who had already turned around and took a step, tapped his toes, then turned back, "It's not enough."

"Then, what about the three Columbia industrial platforms that are in good condition?" Muirses' delicate chin was raised slightly, with a well-thought-out plan.

"Mr. Ice Cube's goal must be to get big orders from the military of various countries, and if he wants to get orders from the Colombian military, he must set up a branch and production base in Colombia." Muirses put his hands back into his coat again. pocket.

"Wait until you get the order and then prepare to acquire the industrial platform or land. Mr. Ice Cube, how much profit do you think your company has left? Or, can't organize production on time and pay huge liquidated damages?"

"how much is it?"

"Rheinlife is not short of money." Muirses turned slightly sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Chapter 345 Chapter 11 Two Black Hands

Accepting Muirses' invitation does not mean that Bing Cube is ready to go to the meeting alone.

After receiving the order, several nearby mobile patrols began to approach Muirses's ship, and the long-range drones also headed to the relevant airspace with the support of data links and relay communication drones.

"Welcome aboard, Mr. Ice Cube." Muirses seems to be very good at getting along with people. In the small talk that does not involve the exchange of interests, he takes care of the communication partner in both conversation and demeanor, making people feel like a spring breeze.

The second round of Ice Cube doesn't like to stay with Muirses for a while, but he can't deny that Muirses is a difficult opponent before completing the negotiation.

Unlike the stupid, black and thick land-ships that Ursus is rich in, only from the appearance, Rhine Life's land-ships are obviously higher by more than one grade.

Although the ship is not big, and the ice block is only more than 100 meters long by visual inspection, the simple bridge has already approached the shape of a modern warship. In other words, the integration of various subsystems is very high.

It is obviously different from the backward design of Ursus, which is full of crew members from the deck to the small garden on the top of the bridge.

Although the integration level of the top electronic mast is relatively low, and there are many antennas and various electronic equipment, this shortcoming is not harmful in the world of Terra, but it shows the technical strength and strong financial resources of Rhine Life.

There is no lack of high-tech in Terra, but limited by a large number of technological black boxes and production techniques based on Originium skills, the cost of these high-tech products is unacceptably high.

The design of the running gear is reasonable, and it is even protected by armored skirts. Since it is not a surface ship, there is no need to consider the water resistance during navigation. Therefore, compared with Blue Star's surface ships, the width of the hull is greatly increased to obtain better stability. .

Although it is not a battleship, as the director of the Rhine Life Ecology Department, Muirses is obviously paid well. Her ship also represents the highest level of shipbuilding in Columbia and even Terra.

Even though friend and foe cannot be determined for the time being, the traveling people have already begun to pay attention to this advanced ship full of electronic equipment.

In particular, Dabing, who was a researcher at the Institute of Electronics, had already quickly reported to the rotating board of directors after receiving the news, requesting to send fighter planes with electronic reconnaissance pods to take off for surveillance.

As one of the most closely guarded secrets on the entire Blue Star, electronic warfare can only be understood by a very small number of people, and Dabing happens to be one of them, so the importance of electromagnetic rights and information rights cannot be more clearly understood.

"Director Muirses is going to raise fish?" Ice Cube followed Muirses boarded the ship from the flight deck at the rear, walked through the corridors and cabins, and finally arrived at Muirses' office.

And the empty fish tank placed at the entrance attracted Bing Cuo's attention, and he was going to find a topic to bring the relationship between the two closer before actually starting the negotiation.

"I have raised it before, but this fish tank died after being cupped, so I simply stopped." Muirses walked to the large desk and asked Ice to sit down.

"Since you have sent such a large-scale participating fleet, you should have done your homework." When he started to talk about business, Muirses also put away his smiling attitude, "The Londinium Defense Exhibition is the most important exhibition in Terra. It is one of the largest arms trade exhibitions in China, and the annual turnover can be said to be astronomical."

"As for the five-day exhibition, only the professional days of the first three days are possible to negotiate contracts with the military of various countries. Mr. Ice Cube, do you know what this means?"

"That means most deals are actually done before the show, and the show is just a signing ceremony."

"Bingo~" Muirses snapped his fingers in front of the ice cube, "Actually, Victoria will distribute the information about the exhibited equipment to Colombia, Dayan, Ursas and other countries in advance."

"When the exhibitors arrive at Londinium, they will immediately start intensive business negotiations, and finally sign the contract formally at the exhibition."

"Sounds very simple, doesn't it?" Muelses held his chin in one hand and drew circles on the table with the other, looking at the ice cube with interest, but the eyes gave the ice cube an indescribably strange feeling.

"I'm not stupid and sweet." Leaning back, Bing Cuo lay on the chair and relaxed his body a little so that he could concentrate better.

The arms deal under the table is the real bloodbath. The threat of Muirses was not groundless, and Bing Cui knew it clearly in his heart.

Coupled with the fact that Karak Heavy Industries has just arrived, both in terms of connections and intelligence, it is at an absolute disadvantage. It is difficult to grab orders from the army from these large local companies.

However, they are very confident in the foreign trade weapons they provide, and they are very competitive in terms of price and level.

Crossover does not expect to win huge orders from superpowers such as Colombia and Victoria for the first time at the exhibition.

Instead of competing with established companies, it is better to focus on other smaller countries.While selling conventional weapons and equipment, the Travelers don't even mind selling some equipment that can change the rules of war to some extent.

For example, a simplified version of the C3I command system.

But it is impossible for Ice Cube to tell Muleses these things, and make the other party mistakenly think that he wants to win the Colombian order, and there may be unexpected gains.

"80.00% of the defense exhibition's turnover is taken up by companies in Zone A. It's beyond the expectations of many people that you can get booths in Zone A." Muirses said, "Of course, most people don't want to Come share the cake."

"The budgets for the purchase of new equipment in various countries are basically fixed, and most of the budget is still spent on equipment that has already been installed in active service. The products displayed at the defense exhibition will not be equipped on a large scale immediately."

"But everyone knows what it means once their products appear on the army's procurement list, even if it is only a small amount." Muirses's voice is full of temptation.

"And we are willing to share the order of the Colombian military with your company, and assist your company to establish a subsidiary in Colombia and prepare a production base."

"As far as I know, Rhine Life has won the booth in Area A for more than ten consecutive times. It is obviously in your company's interest to unite with other companies to exclude us." Bing Cube was not fooled, but directly asked questions.

Although he could guess that Rhine Life had chosen to contact him in advance, there must be other plans to "betray" the business alliance in Area A, but sometimes it is the best choice to let the other party take the initiative to speak.

"Do you know who needs to be settled first if you want to get the order from the Colombian military?" Muirses did not answer directly, bypassing the first confrontation with the ice cube.

"Government and...military?"

"It's the Colombian Internal Revenue Service, the Alcohol and Tobacco Spell Unit, and the Originium Products Administration."

Chapter 346 Chapter 12 Rheinmetall

"Unable to obtain licenses from the Alcoholic Tobacco Spell Unit and the Originium Products Administration, it is wishful thinking to intervene in Colombia's domestic arms market."

Muirses took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet next to him, placed a goblet in front of himself and the ice cubes, and continued: "As for the tax bureau, I believe you would not like to see armed inspectors raiding your house with warships. , take every penny of yours while you go to jail on trumped-up tax evasion charges."

"Karak Heavy Industries strictly abides by the laws and regulations of various countries and respects local folk customs. Although it has been established for a short time, it has been nominated as an outstanding enterprise by RIM Billiton."

"Enthusiastic about public welfare and committed to improving the working and living environment of infected people. It is a conscientious company. I believe it can establish a good relationship with various government departments in Colombia."

After Ice Cube finished speaking, Muirses showed an ambiguous smile of "knowing everything": "Your understanding may be a little off. The service objects of these departments are not entirely the government, but also their big sponsors."

"for example?"

"Such as Raytheon Industries, and... Rhine Life." Muirses held the wine glass and stared at the ice cube through the scarlet liquid, "Of course, our two families are not the only ones behind it. example."

"Since Raytheon Industry and Rhine Life can become the sponsors, so can Karak Heavy Industries." Bing Cuo crossed his hands and fingers in front of him, and did not touch the red wine in front of him.

The words have already been said for this sake, since Muirses came to the door on his own initiative, it should also explain the purpose.

"Cost and time." Muirses seemed confident, "It's hard to say about other places, but if Raytheon Industries wants to prevent a company that competes with us from entering the Colombian market, it only needs a small trick to make the opponent exhausted. "

Ice Cube still didn't speak, but just made a gesture of please continue, which made Muirses a little annoyed: "It's not a gentleman's behavior to keep letting girls take the initiative."

But there is no other way, I take the initiative to come to the door, as long as the other party does not make mistakes, it is reasonable to lose the initiative in the negotiation.

If it wasn't for the general manager who came here for a while, pretending to care about his work, but actually urging him to get in touch with Karak Heavy Industries, according to Muirses's character, he would definitely wait for Karak Heavy Industries to come to ask for help. .

"Three industrial platforms plus the power support of the Rheinmetall Engineering Department, as long as you provide the components and necessary technologies required for production and assembly, you can have a Colombian subsidiary that is a joint venture with Rheinmetall."

"I don't need to say more about the benefits. Rheinland Life has been operating in Colombia for many years, and it has a lot of contacts and resources. It doesn't cost a penny to be able to directly squeeze into the top [-] in Colombia. This is something that many people dare not even think about. matter."

Muirses shook the wine glass, looking very sure, "But, miracles and magic are never free."

"Thank you, Director Muirses, for the introduction. I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first." Ice Cube was decisive, and immediately got up and left when he heard that it was not free.

"Wait, come back and sit down." Muirses was about to collapse, and he said a lot of things, but the ice cubes didn't give him a chance to negotiate terms.

Even in accordance with etiquette, you have to exchange pleasantries after listening to Rhine's quotation before declining the cooperation invitation, right?No one dared to reject Rhine Life so straightforwardly.

If the governor hadn't followed the devil, it would be impossible for Muirses to accept such a cooperation condition, let alone propose it on his own initiative.

"Listen, a Colombian local joint venture subsidiary with good reputation, huge profits, or at least huge potential, is very optimistic about the Colombian military. Whether it is the Colombian National Taxation Bureau, the Tobacco and Alcoholic Spell Unit, and the Originium Products Administration, it can handle it properly. , is more cost-effective than robbing."

"Let's not talk about technical issues, how much of the joint venture company can we Karak Heavy Industries take?" Ice Cube stopped and turned around, but didn't sit back in the chair, looking at Muirsey who was leaning forward with his hands on the table asked.

"40.00%." ​​Muirses was a little annoyed, "Don't you understand yet? Regardless of the subsequent profits, this 40.00% of assets alone is worth more than 50 billion Colombian gold dollars!"

"40.00%, ha, Director Muirses, is it Rhine Life who wants to share the orders of the Colombian military with us or ours?" Ice Cube was amused by Muirses.

"People can't be too greedy." Sitting behind the desk, Muirses completely put away the casual attitude of smiling before, exuding a high-ranking aura coldly, "40.00% five, this is Rhine Life If you can't accept the last concession, then there is no need to talk about the following conditions."

"Then I can only say sorry, it seems that we can't reach a consensus on this."

"70.00% five, and the other 5.00% needs to be used for the necessary exchange of benefits. Rhine Life must control at least 20.00%, otherwise it seems to the outside world that Rhine Life's reason for Karak Heavy Industries' platform is not valid."

The undeniable girl's voice in a weak voice made Bing Cube look towards the corner in surprise. After chatting with Muirses for so long, he didn't even notice the young lady who was wearing a white cloak to hide her face.

"Commander!!!" Muirses' face paled, and he could no longer maintain his aura. She just couldn't speak when she was beside the promised governor. The ministers were about to fight to the death, why did the lord surrender first.

"Although I am the general manager of Rhine Life, Rhine Life involves the interests of all parties, and it is not my opinion."

"You know it too!"

Casting an apologetic look at Muirses, the governor continued: "Murses is my most trusted department director and one of my best friends, but I still need to find a way to unify the opinions of other departments. 70.00% five is indeed the greatest sincerity Rhine Life can show."

Muirses, who was already on the verge of going berserk, was coaxed into obedience by the governor with a rainbow fart. He sat blushing and faltered, and the ice beside him was also smashed by the pie that fell from the sky. dizzy.

From Ice Cube's point of view, it is a great victory to win 50.00% of the shares within three rounds of negotiations. Unexpectedly, just after meeting with the enemy general, the enemy's lord offered the city before the two armies began to line up.

Which side are you in charge of, why are you turning your elbows out.

"The other conditions I asked for are not up to you to decide. Whether they can be negotiated or not will have to wait for you to report to your superior." The governor handed Bing Cuan a folder that he had prepared long ago.

"The other thing is that at least on the surface, Rheinmetall will have absolute control over this joint venture, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. So I have already thought about the name, how about calling it Rheinmetall?"

Chapter 347 Chapter 13 The Man Looking Up at the Starry Sky

On the Gobi Desert, the wind howled, sand and rocks flew, and in the yellow curtain that filled the sky and the earth, two huge land fleets were slowly approaching.

"The ships pay attention to controlling the spacing and leaving enough space for the cargo ships. Their sensors can't compare with our warships in detection range and accuracy under this weather condition." Xia Feng calmly commanded the fleet to change formation and give the cargo ships that had been waiting for many days The team makes room.

Taking advantage of the year-round extreme sand and dust weather and open terrain here, Operation Robin went very smoothly as planned.

The hull numbers of all warships have also been changed, and the nearly [-]-kilometer voyage to Sami requires them to keep radio silent, avoid settlements and commercial waterways, and quietly pass through the wilderness until Sami.

"How is the preparation of the electromagnetic support team?" Ice Cube looked out the window, and the small stones and gravel hit the windshield with crackling sounds.

"The equipment is already online, and electromagnetic deception will start in 3 minutes." Lieutenant Fiona was as reliable as ever, and quickly answered Ice Cube's question.

Although the combat ships dispatched are camouflaged, they can be said to be real from a long distance, but no matter how careful you are, various electronic devices, radars, various types of sensors, and high-density data transmission are bound to be very different from real cargo ships. .

Just in case, Ice brought an electronic warfare team as required, and continued to simulate the electromagnetic characteristics of the fleet after the battleship left the team and went north.

"The rotating board of directors of the Rhine Life cooperation plan you submitted last time has been discussed and approved, and an online vote will be held at the plenary meeting in the afternoon."

"So fast?" Under Xia Feng's command, Bing Cube didn't need to worry too much, and sat back in his seat, and then made a video call with Liusu.

To be honest, although the terms offered by Rhine Life are amazingly lenient, but they really dare to ask.

He pointed out without hesitation that in exchange, Rhine Life wanted to participate in the space project of the traversing crowd, which naturally caused an uproar among the traversing crowd.

Ice Cube did not expect to be able to unify opinions so quickly. The current head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Xiao Dinosaur, should have made great efforts to promote the approval of the cooperation plan.

As the general manager of the aerospace project, Little Dinosaur is under a lot of pressure. The aerospace project is a bottomless pit of burning money, and the military investment in Sami is also a bottomless pit.

In addition, the planned acquisition of the Longmen plot under the Shuaia Group will also require a large amount of cash flow. Even if the ammunition and origin stone purification business is strong in absorbing money, the resources obtained from space activities will appear to be limited.

Compared with resources, the lack of people is a more serious problem.People who can participate in aerospace projects are high-end talents even in Blue Star, let alone Terra, whose basic education is a mess.

Originally, the educated population base is small, and the scientific and technological elites who can participate in scientific research projects have long been a radish and a pit, and the famous flowers have their own owners.

This is not a problem that can be solved by spending money without thinking. Everyone has a complete set of technology but can only look at the technology tree and sigh. From the grassroots technical workers to the top researchers, all departments are rushing to get it.

Although some scientific research talents have been recruited by the generous recruitment policy of infected people, it can only solve the urgent need. His own talent training plan and vocational education have only just started, barely keeping up with the speed of industrial expansion. For aerospace projects Belongs to far hydrolysis can not solve near thirsty.

The little dinosaur was so anxious that his head was smoking all day long, and after half a year of babbling, he could still fire a sounding rocket or two every once in a while.

Although it is not bad as a technology verification and data collection platform, the rotating board of directors has already criticized the aerospace department for its delay in advancing the project.
