Chapter 815 I just say one sentence not to participate
Raytheon's board of directors was silent. None of them were willing to give in. The profit from missiles was very considerable. With Umbrella's generosity, there would definitely be no less purchases. It was all money. Watching your own money being taken by others.
Come on, that kind of taste can make people crazy.
As Strauss said, if this order is really given to Europe, Thor will be embarrassed in front of his peers. All the people present are distinguished people. No one wants this kind of embarrassing thing.
"Gentlemen, Strauss is right. If Umbrella really purchases European goods, do we still have the nerve to meet with our peers? It's not that we don't have technology, and we have products that we can't produce. We obviously have products.
But we can't sell it, this is unreasonable." The big director was unhappy.
"Yes, gentlemen, we can say that we have completely turned over since Thor cooperated with Umbrella. However, we still have many shackles on us, which seriously restrict our development. We had no way before, but now, we
Are we still going to give up our orders? You know, this is our profit?" Director Charlton said seriously.
"Yes, what Charlton said is good. We must take action. If the White House and the military do not agree to us this time, we will directly build a branch in Fucheng and produce directly. Prices there are extremely low and our profits will be even greater.
It's generous, and Guo will definitely not impose any restrictions on us. We don't need to worry about any bullshit orders at all," Director Bing Ge said seriously.
The people on the board of directors nodded seriously. Their resentment towards the White House and the military was really great, especially the last time Martin Company monitored the company, there was actually a shadow of the military behind it. Thor tolerated it, but this time
Once I really couldn't bear it anymore, it was worth giving up the military order for the sake of US dollars.
"Gentlemen, our determination cannot be shaken this time. If necessary, we can completely withdraw from military procurement, because we don't have much share. In the past few years, it has only been a few hundred million US dollars, and the profit is not very small. We are still in arrears with the payment.
We can't leave money without making any money," Director Goldie said seriously.
"I agree with this opinion. Look at the orders that Umbrella has given us. How long has it been since we cooperated with Umbrella? How many orders have we received? Billions of dollars. Let us give up now. Who will compensate us for our losses? This time we will never give in."
Director Weiss also spoke. Director Weiss usually doesn't speak, but this time he couldn't help it.
Next, all the directors expressed their opinions one after another. For one purpose, this is Thor's profit, which must not be given away. It must be untied to us. Otherwise, we will directly establish a branch factory and withdraw from military procurement. This is considered to be an agreement.
Companies that engage in military procurement can only establish overseas branches by withdrawing from this procurement. Raytheon was originally qualified, but due to the problem of rockets the year before last, a batch was purchased by the military, and it was restricted by this clause. Now,
It must be posted frontally.
What's more, it's not that the military doesn't need anti-aircraft missiles, but it has given them to several other companies. These companies have no civilian products and can only go bankrupt without orders from the military. For the sake of national strategy, the military can only sacrifice Thor in this way.
Another focus of Raytheon is on missiles. The anti-aircraft missiles have not yet risen to this position, so they don't care much about it. As a result, the United States and the Soviet Union signed an agreement not to produce short- and medium-range missiles, which suddenly forced Raytheon to a dead end.
.
After going through a painful transformation, Raytheon now cherishes orders more than anyone else. It has been losing money for so many years, and it is time to make up for it.
Especially after the Martin incident, the entire board of directors was full of hatred for Martin, and was also very dissatisfied with the military and became more aggressive. The combination of various factors caused the Raytheon board of directors to behave like this this time.
Decisive.
After the meeting of the Board of Directors of Raytheon was completed, Raytheon started to take action after leaving. Raytheon still has a certain sense of reason and can maintain it without breaking out. At the same time, he also made preparations for breaking up and started to take action.
Boeing, General Motors, and Huntington Ingalls Industries have also begun to cooperate. European arms will enter Southeast Asia. This is difficult for them to accept. This time there is no way. You can't blame Guo Yongren at all. The main reason is
It is a fact that we cannot supply goods here.
Guo Yongren doesn't care about this, let's talk about it in a few days. If Thor really can't solve this problem, then he can't blame himself. Many people have rushed to Washington during this period.
David was no exception. Edward brought David here. The topic was very simple. It was about the issue of Umbrella and Thor. David didn't care. If you don't sell it here, can't I buy it elsewhere? Everything depends on the White House.
Made the choice with Jeff.
The military has eased relations with Umbrella, and with several cooperations, there is no big problem. The key lies with the White House. Reagan also discussed this issue with Jeff. The two have the same purpose, which is not to strengthen the military.
The strength of the protective umbrella.
However, if the United States does not relax its restrictions on this matter, the protective umbrella can still be obtained. There is no problem with the products from Europe. They are waiting for the umbrella to speak, and the European governments will definitely support it. This problem will be left in Reagan's hands.
Now that both Reagan and Jeff have recovered, the U.S. economy has begun to recover slowly, and the employment rate has begun to increase. Reagan is under a lot less pressure, and it is time to settle accounts with the umbrella.
Edward was already keenly aware of this matter. The purpose of calling David was very simple. He couldn't interfere. David smiled and said, "Edward, I won't interfere in this matter, but it won't have much impact on the protective umbrella."
"The influence," David said with a smile.
"What can Reagan do? No approval. It's so simple. Raytheon must build factories overseas because they no longer have any orders from the military. I received news that Raytheon has officially issued a document to withdraw from military purchases.
When the time comes, it’s really not certain who will cry and who will laugh,” David said with a smile.
Edward also smiled, "David, Thor is an American company. It is undeniable that Thor has certain strength and influence. However, this time the opponent is different. Reagan cannot come forward. Then Jeff, Jeff can talk to Thor
Ah, it's nothing more than an exchange of interests, do you think Thor can handle Jeff?" Edward said with the same smile, shaking the red wine glass in his hand.
David frowned, knowing very well that Jeff's methods were to defeat Thor's board of directors and easily disintegrate Thor's side. "There is another question, what if Umbrella purchases European goods," David continued.
"It's very simple. Europe will not agree so easily. It is undeniable that the umbrella can purchase European goods according to the agreement, but it is an anti-aircraft missile. How many umbrellas can be purchased? Fifty, or a hundred, the latest model
Europe is definitely not willing to produce it because it is not cost-effective and the old-fashioned umbrellas are not very effective. So the question is, how to choose an umbrella?"
"Of course, according to Guo's habit, he should call you or the arms dealers at this time and let them give it a try. However, I don't agree. I think they also need to consider Jeff's and my opinions."
Edward said with a smile, and David's face turned dark.
David knew very well that if Edward and Jeff came forward together, the arms dealers would be unable to compete. The two of them represented the ruling party and the opposition party in the United States. This force was not something that the arms dealers could contend with.
"You came forward, doesn't Guo know? Is this your ultimate goal?" David looked at Edward and said. The previous plan was for Jeff and Reagan to suppress the umbrella together. This group of people did not interfere. Now Edward will come forward and pass.
Bounded.
"I don't need to come forward, I just say that I won't participate." Edward said with a smile, with a smile on his face. His non-participation is an obvious signal. It is impossible for those people not to know what he means and not to have the courage.
Go against yourself.
"Since you've already made the plans, why did you come to me?" David drank the wine in his hand and asked in a very unhappy tone.
"It's very simple, you can't interfere," Edward said seriously. Others don't know David's energy, but Edward knows it very well. The Kennedy family has been passed down for so many generations, and the relationships accumulated are very terrifying. Edward knows it very well.
.
"Okay, I won't get involved in this matter, but if Guo asks me, I will tell the truth." David said directly, Edward nodded, it doesn't matter, what can Guo Yongren hate himself, only his own wish can come true,
Only the Democratic Party can come to power, and there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, including itself.
Looking at Edward's appearance, David felt very angry. Why didn't he see you as capable of dealing with Jeff? Of course, he couldn't say this. If he did, he would definitely fall out, no matter how good the relationship was. In addition, David
I also understand Edward's painstaking efforts, and he is determined to train Guo Yongren hard.
"Edward, I believe Guo will pass this level. Don't forget, God is standing behind him. The land, so incredible things can happen to Guo. This won't trouble him. I believe
In this regard, God will help him at the right time." David looked at Edward and said, and Edward frowned.
What David said is true. This kid is too weird. Good things and everything keep happening to him. The matter with the land in front of you is an obvious example. You have to guard against this.
Seeing Edward frowning, David felt a little better, but he was still a little worried. The importance of anti-aircraft missiles to Guo Yongren was self-evident. Without this weapon, once the polar bear wanted to bomb the Umbrella's territory, the Umbrella would not be able to defend itself at all.
