It seems that Bull was indeed an artillery expert as Jefferson said. Moreover, the other party has management experience in a large artillery production factory, so it seems that he is a talented person.
"What would you do if this artillery factory was given to you?"
"Boss, I believe that no matter what product innovation is, progress can be made. Although the war has made technological progress very rapid, I don't think we should stop.
At least I think that in terms of future development, the urgent problem that needs to be solved is to reduce the weight of the artillery.
The increasing caliber of artillery means that its weight will also increase, and the increase in weight will obviously cause a loss of mobility, which is contradictory.
Therefore, I think the most important thing we need to do in the future is to reduce the weight of the artillery.
This also means that if I were to manage this factory, I might need to invest a lot of money in research. "
Fang Lang didn't expect that the other party would say that he needed a lot of research funds when they first met.
However, what he said is indeed consistent with his own knowledge. The reason why he knows this is because he is a modern person.
But the other party was able to use his own knowledge to cut through the fog and see the future. He was obviously a rare talent.
He smiled and said:
"I agree with you. You don't have to worry about the research and development funds for artillery."
"Boss, artillery is not a separate project. If you want your factory to remain advanced in the future, I have two requirements that need to be explained in advance."
Buell was very happy to hear that Fang Lang promised that he didn't have to worry about R&D funds. It was obvious that he had taken a liking to him.
However, as an aspiring artillery expert, he knew very well that the power of artillery was not solely determined by the artillery itself.
So he decided to make his request.
Unexpectedly, he had just expressed his willingness to let Boolean manage the factory, and Boolean would make a request to him.
He couldn't help but said with some curiosity:
"Oh! Tell me."
It can be seen from Fang Lang's face that the other party is not angry or dissatisfied.
Since Burdu said that he made two requirements in order to keep the factory advanced, Fang Lang would certainly not be dissatisfied. After all, what he wanted was an advanced artillery factory!
Buell didn't hide it and said directly:
“In fact, the most closely related thing to the power of artillery is the artillery shell, so I want to develop new ammunition, which requires investment.
In addition, the accuracy of the artillery is not only related to the processing accuracy of the barrel, but also has a huge relationship with the viewing and aiming equipment. Therefore, we must also conduct research on observation equipment. "
Buell's words made Fang Lang feel that he had indeed picked up a professional talent, at least a professional artillery talent who knew more than himself.
This made Fang Lang very happy and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and hold it with Bull.
"There is nothing wrong with what you said. I don't know when you can start working. I hope you can participate in the construction of the factory.
I fully support R&D, but you need to find R&D talents yourself, and each R&D project must be approved by me. "
Bull quickly stood up and said:
"Thanks to my boss for his trust, I can go to Brazil to take over the construction of the factory in a week. Don't worry, I can quickly form a corresponding team for research and development."
"Work hard and hope that one day our artillery can be exported to the whole world."
Now that the artillery factory had professionals in charge of handling it, Fang Lang finally settled his worries and took a plane back to New York that night.
But before Fang Lang could sit on his hot butt, the assistant, Ms. Berg, found Fang Lang in a hurry.
"Boss, Mr. Morgan invites you to have dinner at the Plaza Hotel at seven o'clock tonight."
"Mr. Morgan? That Mr. Morgan!"
"Mr. Morgan of Morgan Stanley!"
Miss Berg was very shocked that Fang Lang didn't know about Morgan Stanley. This is the largest investment bank under the Morgan Consortium, one of the largest consortiums in the United States!
Of course Fang Lang had heard of Morgan Stanley, an investment bank founded in 1935.
In 1941, Morgan Stanley became a partner of the New York Stock Exchange.
As an investment bank that cooperates with the New York Stock Exchange, the reason for finding Fang Lang is obvious. It is because it is interested in the development potential of Global Group and wants to get a share of the pie!
However, Fang Lang did not reject this. After all, the war was over now and a period of rapid economic development was about to begin.
Of course Fang Lang wouldn't mind if the company could be quickly expanded through listing financing.
But when this kind of consortium comes to seek cooperation, should you ask for something?
Thinking about the electronic information age, Fang Lang has always wanted to enter this field, but unfortunately he has never had the chance.
And doesn’t the Morgan consortium that comes this time own an AT&T company?
AT&T now has a monopoly on the long-distance and local telephone market in the United States.
How much money can be earned from the telephone and telegraph business? Just think about China Mobile and China Telecom.
However, Fang Lang was interested in this company obviously not because of its profitability.
It's because this company has the greatest laboratory in the world. The inventions of this laboratory have led to the rapid development of electronic information technology for a hundred years.
Invented the transistor, the laser, the solar cell, the light-emitting diode, the digital switch, the communication satellite, the electronic digital computer, the C language, the UNIX operating system, cellular mobile communications equipment, long-distance television transmission, emulated language, talking movies, stereo recording, and the communications network wait.
If we can take this opportunity to obtain several technical supports from this company, it will be in the field of electronic information in the future.
Fang Lang will no longer be controlled by others.
Of course, the invention of the transistor would have to wait two years. This laboratory has been established for nearly twenty years now, and it has a lot of good things on hand.
"Oh! You're talking about the Morgan Stanley from the Morgan consortium, right?"
"Yes boss!"
"Did he say what he wanted from me?"
When he heard Fang Lang's question, Berg was stunned, as if he heard that the big shot wanted to see the boss, and was so excited that he forgot to ask the other party's purpose.
He shook his head slightly embarrassed.
Looking at Berg's dull look, Fang Lang felt like his index finger was moving again.
its not right! Didn’t you just finish making out with Lilith?
The half year without Lilith and Vivian has been spent easily, so why is your heart so restless recently?
He couldn't help but flicked Berg's forehead lightly as punishment.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
After realizing that this was not Lilith or Vivian, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"Okay, call him back. I will go to the banquet on time tonight. By the way, I may need a female companion for the banquet. I don't know if Miss Berg can do it."
Before Fang Lang could say his words, Berg had already said hurriedly:
"Okay! Okay! But I need a dress to attend this kind of party. What if I don't have a dress?"
Thinking about how he pretended to be cold and aloof when he saw him on the first day, he looked at the girl who is now a bit naive.
Fang Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Women are fickle, and the ancients never deceived me.
"Since you are accompanying me, of course I will be responsible for your dress! Let's go! I haven't visited the commercial streets of New York yet? You can be my guide and show me the prosperity of New York!"
"Wouldn't this be bad! Otherwise, you should deduct it from my salary!"
Berg had obviously just started working and didn't have much money, but he didn't want to give up the opportunity to meet the big shot.
That tangled little expression made Fang Lang laugh for a while.
"Okay, okay, you will deduct it from your salary. Can we leave?"
"Okay then! The Plaza Hotel is on Fifth Avenue, let's go directly to Fifth Avenue to check it out!"
Berg is only twenty-four years old, but he still doesn't pretend to be aloof.
On the way, Fang Lang thought of this girl's education and couldn't help but wonder:
"Begg, I remember you said you were an MBA student at Harvard University, right?"
"yes!"
"But I remember Harvard University doesn't seem to admit female students! Are you falsifying your academic qualifications?"
"What are you talking about! I won't falsify my academic qualifications! I graduated from Harvard University, a women's school. My tutor told me that my grades are higher than those of Harvard graduates at the same level.
Just because I am a woman, I cannot be awarded a Harvard University diploma.
You can't find a good job after you graduate, and most companies don't recruit women.
In the end, I could only interview to become an assistant. "
"Haha. Looking at what you mean, I don't seem to be very convinced about letting you be my assistant!"
Fang Lang's topic clearly touched Berg's heart. He looked out the window and said nothing.
"By the way, I just came back from your school this time!"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Berg turned his head and looked at Fang Lang and said:
"Oh! Do you still need your boss to check the academic qualifications of my little assistant in person?"
From Berg's tone, Fang Lang could hear Berg's dissatisfaction with not being trusted.
"How can I have time to investigate your academic qualifications? The main reason is that my girlfriend is studying in the medical school of your school and I am going to visit her!"
"Ah! Is your girlfriend also a student at Radcliffe College?"
Berg looked at Fang Langdao in surprise. Then he seemed to remember something and said angrily.
"Wait, you have a girlfriend? You told me that last time."
"Telling you that? What did I say?"
Fang Lang was stunned by this question and said doubtfully.
I saw Berg's face turn red and white, and he pondered for a long time before saying:
"That's when it comes to boyfriends!"
"Oh! So you heard what I said! Then do you mind having another boyfriend? Hehe"
"You already have a girlfriend and you still want to be my boyfriend. How can you be such a bastard!"
"You have a boyfriend too! I don't mind!"
When Berg heard Fang Lang's words, he was stunned and felt that his three views had been subverted.
I said in my heart that I have never seen such a shameless person.
I was so angry that I almost vomited three liters of blood. It took me a while to suppress my emotions and said:
"Boss, you are a real asshole!"
Fang Lang raised his head and said with a smile:
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Seeing Fang Lang's shameless expression, Berg didn't know whether Fang Lang was telling the truth or joking.
But looking at this boss who looks like a rogue, he actually seems to be easy to get along with.
He didn't even get angry when he called him a bastard.
