industrial maniac

Workshop office.

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

Then someone delivered a brand new IBM military laptop, covered the camera, and connected to the Internet with a German Internet Protocol address through the network switch device of TEP Computer Services.

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

After the M8 incident, the system is a project that North America has focused on promoting in the field of defense procurement.

Also called Armament System Procurement and Logistics Support.

Simply put, all the compradors of the North American Military Department are done here.

The approximate process is:
The North American Military Department is preparing to make a budget and requires the three armed forces to report their numbers separately. The acquisition planning department of the three armed forces will post the data. The North American Military Department's planning budget is also called PPBS.

Afterwards, the budget is allocated to the acquisition department of the armed forces, which implements → enterprise bidding → military bid inspection → military procurement → congressional appropriation → enterprise production → military sampling → congressional sampling → delivery.

There are also several branches, such as new weapon development, experimentation, identification, procurement, maintenance, and support.

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

The energy program falls under the department in charge of peaceful armaments.

Part of the military aerospace, belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

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

In addition, there are strategic acquisitions, including electronic warfare systems, missile management systems, peaceful armament maintenance, and more.

But the system has a 'priority'.

One is the local defense contractors, including Raytheon, Boeing, GE/Power, Martin, Grumman, United Defense, Honeywell, Halliburton, Texas, etc.

The second is the suppliers of NATO systems, including BAE, Rolls-Royce, Smith Group, VT Group, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, ThyssenKrupp, KMW, Dassault, Italian Lifestyle Meccanica and so on.

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

Based on the above, arms dealers who are qualified to enter the e-commerce system may not be able to see all procurement items.

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

Therefore, Xu Fei activated two more computers and logged into the joint defense e-commerce system and the Humphreys base logistics support system respectively.

As a German company, Ironhide seems to be a second priority, but it is actually a novice.

Just like TEP looking for a loan from the World Settlement Bank, it needs to be reviewed for the first time. Even if it passes, the maximum amount will be 10 billion US dollars.

There will be loans and repayments in the follow-up, and the second batch of 20 billion will be approved.

Continue to borrow and repay, the third batch of 50 billion quota.

In other words: Only when you are well-versed can you get a big order and carry out rebate operations.

Therefore, Iron Sheet Company needs to grow from small to large and grow slowly.

And the United Defense...

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

The priority in the field of light weapons is the only one.

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

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

And through the joint defense, we can see more budgets and procurement lists, and then through the logistics support system of the Humphreys base, know who is in charge of the procurement, and even through the logistics support systems of the North American base in Berlin, bases in West Asia, and bases in Southeast Asia, Find more reviewers, spot check leaders...

Things work just fine.

No need to look at other people's quotations, own cost + operating expenses + federal tax + state tax + hard work of director Xu + profit of the iron sheet company = quotation.

"One million sets of three-color desert camouflage, for the Ministry of Lu, 100 sets per person... 5 dollars per piece."

"The new UCP cement-colored camouflage, that is, digital camouflage, is of a testing nature. 10 sets are supplied to the Marine Corps of the West Asian Sea. Each piece... fill in $80."

"30 sets of NWUT dark blue camouflage, supplied to the North American Sea, a single piece... $110."

"It's strange. The soldiers of the Ministry of the Sea wear dark blue. If they accidentally fall into the sea, they will be surrounded by blue. When will they be found?"

"The Marine Corps of the Marine Corps wears cement-colored camouflage in the withered and yellow environment of West Asia. Isn't this a living target?"

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

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

That's right, that's it.

"What a genius design!"

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

The two sides are not familiar with each other, one more thing is worse than one less thing, so let's just do it.

Moreover, no matter what the other party did, they had no reason to refute.

"ROTHCO has 100 million sets of waterproof combat boots and 100 million sets of non-waterproof combat boots... the design is so heavy, isn't it afraid that soldiers will dislike it?"

Xu Fei suddenly remembered the "reselling" incident that the head of logistics at Camp Humphreys had mentioned to him earlier.

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

"Why not, first produce 200 million sets according to the standards of the North American Military Department, and then slightly adjust the style, reduce the weight, and produce 200 million sets of portable models."

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

"The unit price of the former is 300 US dollars, and the latter can be sold for 7 to 80 US dollars is not a problem."

"Sure enough, such humble small orders are the most profitable."

"ESS Profile NVG goggles, FASR tactical helmets, the new IBA 'Interceptor' heavy body armor... It's better not to make a fuss about life-saving things, so as not to ruin your own reputation."

"This ILBE drinking water backpack...weight reduction, thinning, double production..."

"This...weight loss, shrinkage, double production."

Xu Fei has been busy all morning. After reorganizing, he found that even though it is a small project, the purchase amount is still as high as 10.7 billion US dollars.

If the expenses of all links are removed, the family can earn 7 million US dollars.

If "double production" is counted, the company can earn 3 million US dollars from North American soldiers.

Adding the two together, the total profit exceeded the order amount.

"Could it be that this is the legendary, a million profits?!"

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

Panoramic night vision device, you can make it yourself.

Finger laser friend or foe identifier?It seems that you can make it yourself.

Electronically stabilized binoculars... trifle.

Squad machine gun scope?
Enhanced target sight?

Lightweight laser pointing rangefinder?

Through-the-wall detection sensor system?
Wrist Video Wi-Fi?

Xu Fei picked and picked, listed all the weapons that he could manufacture, and found that the total order had risen to 21 billion US dollars.

I am a novice, so I definitely can't get so many projects.

United Defense must be called in to grab the order and entrust it to the Iron Sheet Company for production.

"It seems that there is a reason to let TEP and the Ironhide Company cooperate."

"But what reason can I find... By the way, build an airship!"

"United Defense intends to enter the field of airships. It has technology but no materials. Strauss personally visited Foreman and said all the good things. In the end, Strauss impressed Foreman with an order for light weapons and exchanged for a Purchase contract for nylon fiber and carbon fiber skeleton."

Xu Fei pondered over it seriously and felt it was reasonable.

Immediately turn off all computers and go to the copywriting area.

The team responsible for moistening the 'Kirov Fried Fish' has already edited the video.

Footage includes footage of Kirov interiors, flying shots, carrying oversized fuel tanks, dropping tanks, Boom shots...

"Pass it to the headquarters and let the news be announced there."

……

If we say that the airship transportation, airship stealth, air carrier, and airship launch platform that Ironhide had envisioned before, it is just a concept, which has attracted the hearts of various countries and armament companies, and plans to purchase some raw materials for research.

Then, the video after polishing, coupled with the abnormal situation reported by the C-17 flight team of Longshan Base, and the confirmation of Midway Island, means that the first stealth heavy bomber airship in human history has been born, and a new era has come. !
Although the deterrent power of the airship is not as good as that of a peaceful world, it can restrain the aircraft.

This makes many countries that are eager to own an aircraft carrier, but can't build an aircraft carrier, and can't afford to support an aircraft carrier, ecstatic.

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

All of a sudden, the purchasing groups that arrived in Berlin flocked to the General Manager's Mansion.

Or flatter, or cooperate, or threaten...

The German manager is under a lot of pressure, but he is proud.

"Mr. Manager, North America said that as long as the Kirov airship technology and material composition are handed over, we can save the 17.2 billion U.S. dollars in military expenses that we owe for five years."

"This amount of money is nothing. Besides, the airship project is not mine. Let them go to Foreman."

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

Then the Boeing purchasing group was entertained, but the two parties failed to reach an agreement due to price issues.

Immediately afterwards, the Grumman, General Electric, and General Dynamics purchasing groups were entertained...

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the three parties also failed to reach an agreement.

After a long time.

Foreman met with Strauss in front of numerous reporters.

It is indeed admirable that two down and out people who shared weal and woe in the past have parted ways because of uneven wealth distribution and different business philosophy.

And Strauss' voluntary apology also made people extremely stunned.

Soon, the United Defense of North America announced that it would introduce a new generation of nylon fiber and ultra-light carbon fiber skeleton to fully enter the field of airships, and spend 30 billion US dollars to build a new generation of "aircraft carrier-Boston".

Ironhide announced that it had received an armament order from United Defense worth at least $10 billion, but declined to disclose details.

…………

"North American armament orders are 10 billion + 10.7 billion, including the income from stock speculation and boat tickets. The 50 billion that I borrowed from Raymond, Pupu, and Romney before can almost be repaid."

"Wait until the buyer purchases the raw materials for the airship, the World Settlement Bank's 50 billion loan 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 else at hand.

Immediately log on to the Souhu Forum and use the trumpet to brag about the value of the airship.

But I saw the time in the lower right corner of the computer: 4:28 pm.

He was startled suddenly, got up and ran out of the office, put on the vicious dog, and ran wildly all the way.

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

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

"Fortunately it didn't fall."

Aunt Dacai: "The executive chef said just a second ago that it can be thrown away, so I wondered, the factory manager hasn't come yet, how can I feed it to pigs?"

"I don't like to hear that."

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

"..."

Xu Fei stuffed three meat buns into the vicious dog's mouth, picked up the plate, turned around to look for a place, but when he looked up, he found that the cafeteria was full of people.

"Factory Manager, are you eating?" A few employees who had seen him before but pretended not to see him turned around and said hello.

"Yeah, what is this?"

"Watch the Olympics and draw prizes."

The carrying capacity of the airship is indeed high, but it is impossible for all of the 12 employees in the Daze Industrial Park, the 21 employees of Texas Instruments, Harsco Oriental Industries, FMC Oriental Corporation, and Guangzhou Electromechanical to go to the mud.

What's more, the Mud Olympic Committee makes Director Xu unhappy, and it is even more impossible for him to help the Mud Belt create any consumption.

Therefore, the people who went were all strong men who obeyed the orders of the factory director.

Carrying a marching tent, a portable thermos bottle, and military dry food produced by FMC...

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

Eat well, sleep soundly, cheer for your own athletes, secretly sell airship tickets, and set up a small barbecue.

It's easy to get everything done in one fell swoop, which is very in line with the factory manager's work style.

The employees who stayed in Daze still worked in three shifts. After all, it wasn't the Beijing Olympics, so why were they so excited.

But looking at the scene in the cafeteria, it seems that this year's Olympic Games has attracted people's attention.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the morning shift is off work, the evening shift has not yet started work, and only the middle shift is in the workshop.

The employees who ran to watch TV were crowded in the big cafeteria, those who played cards, those who drank beer, those who chatted and spanked, and those who lay on the ground and slept...

It's like riding a train.

"When will it start?"

"It's 7 p.m. over there, and it's 5 p.m. here. There's still half an hour left."

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.

In the millennium, with the intensification of opening up and the increase in the types of joint ventures, China's color TV industry has ushered in an unprecedented price war.

Various titles, various advertisements, various sales promotions, and even manufacturers launched Olympic color TVs.

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

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

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

It's a pity that Peony TV, which signed a supply and demand agreement with itself, announced the suspension of production in early September.

Otherwise, install several toilets for men and women.

Xu Fei found a place and solved the problem of food and clothing. The Millennium Olympics also ushered in the entrance of athletes and the lighting ceremony of the torch.

The effect of the program is better than any previous year, but I believe the Beijing Olympics will be even better.

'It's good to have a look, after all, one session is less than one session. '

……

That night.

North American Pentagon went to work, and the 10.7 billion armament order belonging to the Iron Sheet Company was the first to pass the review.

However, passing the audit does not mean that the company has won the procurement project, and then needs to submit samples for bid inspection.

If the standards are met, or the person in charge of military procurement is satisfied, the other party will go to Congress to apply for funding.

If Congress is equally satisfied, regardless of high or low, the order is basically done.

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

Two days ago, 'Renipfei' harvested General Electric again. General Raymond, who had spare money, naturally would not refuse.

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

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

Instead.

For example, the second reviewer, Carino, whose son was sentenced to nine years in prison for sucking and selling noodles, General Raymond has a way to bring him out and send him to live in Boston, the safest city in the world. A good doctor, Director Yang of the psychiatry department, helped him to get rid of du addiction.

As a mother, Carino had no reason to refuse.

For example, the person in charge of sampling, Mattia, whose mother had always wanted to live in an orphanage, but was unable to get an approval for various reasons. Now, the best orphanage in Texas-Houston sent an invitation letter.

Mattia must have understood what that meant.

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

"Old Lei, tell me, will we suddenly become big villains one day?"

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

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

chatting.

The other 10 billion orders that United Defense helped compete for also passed the review.

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

Xu Fei wasn't worried at all. Smith's approach was wilder than his, and it was no problem at all to win the order.

Afterwards, it sent relevant samples to Massachusetts-Poston and Texas-Arlington by Gulfstream V-type business jets for sample inspection.

Wait until the next day.

Foreman called, and the airship material was sold.

San Ge purchases 10 tons of low-grade nylon fibers and 20 tons of low-grade ultra-lightweight carbon fiber skeletons. The total payment is US$5 million, and the unit price of materials is about US$556/kg.

In addition, the two parties signed a non-disclosure agreement to transfer a set of Zeppelin technology, with a total sum of 2 million US dollars.

Well, Zeppelin, not Kirov.

Faguo purchases 10 tons of medium nylon fiber and 20 tons of medium ultra-light carbon fiber skeleton, and the total payment is US$10 billion.

Ditto for Inger.

Ditto for the Spanish sprouts.

Ditto for native chicken.

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

Start selling packages, otherwise not selling.

Boeing, Grumman, Italy, etc. are still on the sidelines, and seem to plan to wait for the first batch of buyers to produce prototype boats before placing orders.

After Xu Fei finished talking with Foreman, he raised the material price by 30% on the spot.

Without it, sales are booming and output cannot keep up.

At first, Italy couldn't bear it, and asked the German manager to act as an intermediary, and gave Forman many small gifts, and finally got a set meal at the original price.

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

"Build it!"

Xu Fei can be sure that no Kirov airship can be built in the world.

Because my family relies on gourds to paint ladles, they can't imitate the same style.

Just like before, for the sake of appearance, three metal frames were built in the airport, and now they are replaced with carbon fiber skeleton and nylon fiber skin, and then filled with helium. Even with 12 propellers, the speed is slow to death.

Especially in strong winds, the inside of the airship would creak and almost fall apart.

But right now, we must not dampen the enthusiasm of countries around the world to build airships. Instead, we must promote the future of airships and sell raw materials as much as possible, so that Iron Sheet Company can gain a foothold.

As for customers who can't build an airship, what should they do if they come to the door?
It can't be made, it can only be said that the technology is not good.

Like the Boeing 747, there are all the principles and materials, but you still can't make it.

Besides, all you buy are low-grade materials, or medium-grade materials, why not buy high-grade materials, or even supreme version materials to try?
What if it works? !
