It seems that Bull is indeed an artillery expert as Jefferson said. And he has experience in managing a large artillery factory, so he is definitely a talent.
"If this artillery factory were handed over to you, what would you do?"
"Boss, I think that no matter what product it is, innovation is the key to progress. Although the war has made technology progress very rapidly, I don't think we should stop.
At least I think the most urgent issue to be solved in future development is to reduce the weight of artillery.
The increasing caliber of artillery means that its weight will also increase, but the increase in weight will obviously lead to a loss of maneuverability, which is a contradiction.
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 met for the first time.
However, what he said is indeed consistent with my own understanding. The reason why I know this is because I am a modern person.
...
...
The other party was able to use his knowledge to see through the fog and into the future, and 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 requests that need to be made clear in advance."
Bull was very happy to hear Fang Lang promise that he didn't have to worry about the research and development funds, as 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 determined solely by the artillery itself.
So he decided to make his own request.
I didn't expect that as soon as I expressed my willingness to let Bull manage the factory, Bull would make a request to me.
I couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Oh! Tell me about it."
From Fang Lang's expression, it can be seen that the other party is not angry, nor does he have any dissatisfaction.
Since Bull had said that the two requirements were made in order to keep the factory advanced, Fang Lang would certainly not have any dissatisfaction. After all, what he wanted was an advanced artillery factory!
Bull didn't hide anything and said directly:
“In fact, the most closely related to the power of artillery is the shells, so I want to develop new types of ammunition, which requires investment.
In addition, the accuracy of artillery is not only related to the machining accuracy of the gun barrel, but also has a great relationship with the sighting and aiming equipment. So we also need to conduct research on the sighting and aiming equipment. "
Bull'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 he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake hands with Bull.
“There is no problem 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 the talent for R&D yourself, and each R&D project must be approved by me."
Bull quickly stood up and said:
"Thanks to the boss's trust, I will be able to go to Brazil to take over the construction of the factory in a week. Don't worry, I will be able to set up a corresponding team for R&D very quickly."
"Work hard, and hopefully one day our artillery can be exported to the whole world."
Since the artillery factory already had professionals in charge of the matter, Fang Lang was relieved and flew back to New York that night.
But before Fang Lang could get comfortable, his assistant Miss Berg came to him in a hurry.
"Boss, Mr. Morgan invites you to dinner at the Plaza Hotel at 7 o'clock tonight."
"Mr. Morgan? That Mr. Morgan!"
"Mr. Morgan of Morgan Stanley!"
Miss Berg was very shocked that Fang Lang didn't know Morgan Stanley. This is the largest investment bank under the Morgan Consortium, one of the largest consortiums in the United States!
Fang Lang had certainly heard of the famous name of Morgan Stanley, an investment bank founded in 1935.
In 1941, Morgan Stanley cooperated with the New York Stock Exchange and became a partner of the exchange.
As an investment bank cooperating with the New York Stock Exchange, the reason for choosing Fang Lang is obvious. It has set its sights on the development potential of Global Group and wants to get a piece of the pie!
However, Fang Lang did not reject this. After all, the war was over and a period of rapid economic development was about to begin.
Fang Lang certainly wouldn't mind if he could quickly expand the company's scale through listing financing.
But when such a consortium comes to you seeking cooperation, shouldn’t you ask for something in return?
Think about it, this is the era of electronic information, Fang Lang has always wanted to enter this field, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity.
And doesn’t the Morgan consortium that came this time have an AT&T company in its hands?
AT&T now has a monopoly on the U.S. long-distance and local telephone market.
To think about how much money can be made from telephone and telegraph business, just think about China Mobile and China Telecom.
However, Fang Lang's interest in this company was obviously not due to its profitability.
This is because this company owns one of the greatest laboratories in the world, and the inventions of this laboratory have led to a hundred years of rapid development of electronic information technology.
He invented the transistor, laser, solar cell, light-emitting diode, digital switch, communication satellite, electronic digital computer, C language, UNIX operating system, cellular mobile communication equipment, long-distance television transmission, simulation language, sound film, stereo recording, and communication network.
If we can take advantage of this opportunity to obtain some technical support from this company, then in the future field of electronic information.
Fang Lang will no longer be controlled by others.
Of course, it would take another two years for the invention of the transistor. This laboratory has now been established for nearly twenty years and has a lot of good things on hand.
"Oh! You are talking about Morgan Stanley from the Morgan Consortium, right?"
“Yes, boss!”
"Did he tell me what he wanted from me?"
Hearing Fang Lang's question, Berg was stunned, as if he had heard a big shot wanted to meet the boss, and was so excited that he forgot to ask the other party's purpose.
He shook his head slightly embarrassedly.
Looking at Berg's dazed look, Fang Lang felt his appetite twitching again.
That's not right! Didn't he just have sex with Lilith?
I spent the six months without Lilith and Vivian easily, so why am I feeling so restless lately?
I couldn't help but flick Berg's forehead lightly as a 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'll be there on time tonight. By the way, I might need a female companion. I wonder if Miss Berg can..."
Before Fang Lang could finish his words, Berg hurriedly said:
"Okay! Okay! But I need a dress to attend this kind of party. What should I do if I don't have a dress?"
Think about how she pretended to be cool when she first met me, and then look at the silly girl now.
Fang Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that women are fickle, the ancients were right.
"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 take me to see the prosperity of New York!"
"Isn't this a bad idea? Or you can just deduct it from my salary!"
Berg obviously had just started working and didn't have much money on hand, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity to meet an important person.
Fang Lang found that tangled little expression funny.
"Okay, fine, I'll deduct it from your salary. Can we go now?"
"Okay then! The Plaza Hotel is on Fifth Avenue, let's go straight to Fifth Avenue and take a look!"
Berg is only twenty-four years old and he doesn't pretend to be cool.
On the way, Fang Lang thought of the girl's education level and couldn't help wondering:
"Berg, I remember you said you were a MBA student at Harvard University, right?"
"yes!"
"But I remember Harvard University didn't seem to admit female students! Are you falsifying your academic qualifications?"
"What are you talking about! I would never falsify my academic qualifications! I graduated from the women's school at Harvard University. My advisor told me that my grades were better than those of other Harvard graduates of the same level.
Just because I am a woman, I cannot be awarded a Harvard University diploma.
I couldn’t find a good job after I graduated because most companies didn’t hire women.
In the end, I could only interview and become an assistant. "
"Haha... From what you say, it seems like you're not very convinced to be my assistant!"
Fang Lang's topic obviously touched Berg's sore spot. He looked out the window and stopped talking.
"I just came back from your school!"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Berg turned his head and looked at Fang Lang and said:
"Oh! Do I, your big boss, need to personally check the academic qualifications of a junior assistant like me?"
From Berg's tone, Fang Lang could hear Berg's dissatisfaction with not being trusted.
"I don't have the time to investigate your academic qualifications. My girlfriend is studying at your school's medical school, and I'm going to visit her!"
"Ah! Is your girlfriend also a student at Radcliffe College?"
Berg looked at Fang Lang in surprise. Then he seemed to remember something and spoke angrily.
"Wait, you have a girlfriend? Why did you tell me that last time?"
"Tell you like that? What did I say?"
Fang Lang was stunned by this question and asked in confusion.
Berg's face turned red and white, and he said after a long pause:
"When I talk about boyfriends!"
"Oh! So you heard what I said! 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 jerk!"
"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 overturned.
I thought to myself that I had never seen such a shameless person.
He was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood. It took him a long while to suppress his emotions and said:
"Boss, you're a real asshole!"
Fang Lang raised his head and smiled:
“Thanks for the compliment!”
Looking at Fang Lang's shameless expression, Berg didn't know whether Fang Lang was telling the truth or joking.
However, looking at this boss who seems a bit like a rogue, I actually feel that he seems to be easy to get along with.
He was not angry at all even if I called him a bastard.
