Chapter 724 Grant?
Grant Group, one of the largest arms companies in the United States. About one-third of the US's annual arms procurement will fall into the Grant Group. Among them, the more famous ones are the maintenance of various warships and warships, including the automation systems on warships, etc.
Many warships in service in the United States are manufactured by the Grant Group. This is a giant-like enterprise.
Perhaps many people think that the American military-industrial enterprises may be rigid for many years, but in fact they are not the case. They have dominated one of the most profitable industries in the world. While supporting their agents, the President, to carry out various military operations, they have never stopped their research and development.
Of course, with their current technology, they are enough to outspoke many peers for many years. Even if all R&D is stopped, with the current technology, it will take many years for most other companies to catch up.
Even if the rapidly developing country on the other side of the ocean wants to catch up with their technical level, it will not be able to achieve it in five or six years.
They know deeply that if they stop, it won’t take long to get lazy in their bones and lose the motivation to continue research, and even if those researchers are there, but no decision-makers have set the direction, I am afraid that the research of researchers will not have too many breakthroughs. A series of incentive measures are formulated by decision-makers, and researchers are also human beings. Unless they are stubborn, no one will be unable to live with themselves, right? Let’s have a comfortable life, but they have to seek abuse?
After all, without incentives, many studies will not be motivated.
Regarding the Grant Group, Lin Dong not only knows it in reality, but also has the information in his mind.
The Grant Group pays much more attention to technical research and reserves than people imagine.
Like many large groups in the capital world, the Grant Group will also collect some invention patents related to their research around the world, buy them at a high price, and then produce and manufacture them according to the situation, or put them directly into a safe to maintain the technological frontier of their existing products.
This is a very common practice. Before existing products and technical capabilities are squeezed out with the greatest value, the capital world usually does not produce a new generation of products, even if users know that the performance of new products may be better.
Of course, another situation is that the opponent's technical level is always pursuing. Then, the capital group must not only frequently release new technical designs, but also often send some new products to the military to test their functions.
For example, because China and the Russians have invested a lot in stealth fighter jets and their technical level is constantly improving, the American f22 and f35 are both being produced and constantly improving their technology, and are even on the sixth generation of aircraft.
But what about the armed helicopter? How many years have the longbow of the American Apache? Is there no new design? There must be, but there are also armed helicopters from China and the Russians, but they are much worse than the Apache. Moreover, the development is still worse now, so he will not be in a hurry and wait slowly.
This is what capital does.
Currently, Grant Company is the main provider of naval equipment in the United States and many pro-European and American countries. In the later generations of parallel worlds, Lin Dong's mind has the information that in the next few decades, the business of Grant Group will gradually shrink because related companies in China began to enter this industry and seized the market share of many Grant Company.
In the past, Huaxia's products were usually a factor in seizing the market: cheap.
Think about it, the same fighter jet can be sold with J-10, which is comparable to the F16, which is much cheaper than the former. Although there may be a little gap in performance, especially electronic devices, it will not really lose much in performance.
It's really cheap!
Think about it, can you use the Great Wall, Jiangling pickup truck, and some civilian steel pipes to make simple rocket launchers that run everywhere in the Middle East? Do you still care about this gap?
However, decades later, the performance of China's product has more than this feature.
The most important thing is that the technical level has caught up, but the price is not much more expensive than before!
This is the power of a great power with a sound industrial system that exploded when it began to seize the world market.
Therefore, Grant, which was used to being the dominant one and then let other companies pick up some leftovers, naturally couldn't sit still and immediately seized the market with Chinese companies.
In the past, when Chinese companies were doing this business, they often felt a little embarrassed. After all, military-industrial enterprises have been used to the planned economy for many years, and it is not easy for them to go out to find the market on their own initiative. However, after the military reform, Chinese military-industrial enterprises have basically been state-owned or privatized, and they are much more flexible in operation. They are no slower than companies like Huawei and Sany, especially once they get used to the way of doing business in China, many businessmen around the world can really not be able to grab it.
To put it in the words of European and American people, Damn, you yellow people are so hardworking, okay?
Of course, the competition for capital must be fierce and cruel, and even requires blood. Needless to say, when the Grant Group later preserved the local market of the United States and some European and American systems and pro-American countries, but lost most of the other markets in the world, related companies in China also lost a lot of manpower in overseas locations.
Therefore, Lin Dong still knows a little about this Grant Group.
For example, Ms. Hathaway in front of her is now just a special representative in China, but more than ten years later, she became an important director of the Grant Group. This woman has a strong ability to judge the situation. Her changing temperament makes it easy for her to climb to Grant's top management in a very short time.
Of course, the ability is beyond doubt. Just now, just because of Lin Dong’s look, he immediately changed his negotiation strategy. It’s hard for such a person to fail!
But, does Lin Dong dare to cooperate with her?
Don't dare!
I really don’t dare! There is more than one message in the encyclopedia, which is about Hathaway’s move, negotiating on behalf of Grant Group and China Enterprises. The mergers or cooperation after these negotiations are proven in the end, and the ones who are cheated are all Chinese enterprises!
Today, she set out to be on the Changying Group again. If Lin Dong hadn’t known her background and style in advance, he might at least have a good impression even if the cooperation could not be reached!
What about the future? Once such an impression is left, it is hard to say whether it will be cheated later! (To be continued.)
