Seeing that he was full of confidence, An Feng asked, "I'm curious where your confidence comes from?"
Smith smiled and said: "As the largest defense contractor in the country, our company has close ties with the Ministry of Defense and has provided countless military equipment to the country. Therefore, most of the officials of the Ministry of Defense are familiar with us, and the Secretary of Defense is the Prime Minister's Cabinet and a member of the Conservative Party."
An Feng still has a half-knowledge and half-understanding.
In order to convince him, Smith continued: "Sir, if you have enough time, we can explain it in detail."
An Feng agreed: "Okay."
Smith said: "The exoskeletons of Americans have been in a turmoil recently, which has allowed many people to see the power of new technologies, especially in the UK. After citizens learned through the Internet that the assistance system was produced in the UK, some people asked the government why there was no mechanical exoskeleton."
An Feng heard him say a lot, and simply put it, he would like to please voters and keep his seat.
Since Britain is a constitutional monarchy, it is somewhat different from the United States. The head of state is always the king, and the head of government is elected by the largest party, not the election. The Conservative Party is currently the ruling party of Britain, and its party leaders are elected as the prime minister. Most of the Prime Minister's cabinet is from the same party, so they are all grasshoppers on the same line, and they share the same hatred for the enemy to gain the recognition of the voters.
The Prime Minister is not elected by voters, but the members of the parliament are decided by voters. After losing the trust of voters, the party’s seats in the parliament will decrease and be surpassed by other parties will lose its position as the ruling party. Therefore, the preferences of voters are the most important, and it is necessary for them to strengthen national defense at present.
The cause of the incident was that Americans were so beautiful that the whole world knew that they had developed powerful exoskeletons and promoted a new era of individual soldiers, which naturally affected the judgment of citizens. They believed that this guy "can turn the war around". Since it was provided by British companies, Britain must have it too.
Even if the argument of "turning the war" seems ridiculous to the top leaders, voters can't make you laugh, and the ruling party has to please voters.
So the Prime Minister ordered that the Ministry of Defense find a way, but the defense contractor racked his brains but couldn't make it.
Finally, through various relationships, they approached the real person in charge of the company.
If BAE can create an exoskeleton, it will get the contract from the Ministry of National Defense. The ruling party will win the favor and trust of voters. If the ruling party is firmly in position, the prime minister will of course repay the heroes. According to An Feng’s hope, nomination to the queen and awarding medals is simply easy.
After this series of complex operations, the key is the exoskeleton. Its psychological role is greater than its actual role. As of the current situation, the government uses it to serve as a storefront, please voters, rather than equip the army and improve combat effectiveness. The culprit is American propaganda.
An Feng asked: "What if the exoskeleton was created within one month?"
Smith said with advice: "We will sign orders for the support system with the machinery company. If it is confirmed correctly, we will let the Prime Minister's Cabinet know the key. We will nominate the heroes to the Queen, and then decide on the promulgation of the Medal of Honor, which is estimated to be by June next year."
An Feng said: "You ask me to think about it first and I will give you a reply within three days."
"We look forward to the call from Mr. Smith." Smith presented his business card with both hands.
...
An Feng said that considering it is just a plan detail.
But Joanna has a little bit of her concern: "Do you think Americans would be happy to see you spread the technology of exoskeletons to other countries?"
An Feng said: "Cooperation is carried out in secret."
"But now, except for the United States, only you and your team have the ability to make such things and guess what they can guess," said Joanna.
"Don't worry, the exoskeleton has been leaked. Don't forget that there is another country that has been created - Japan." An Feng gave a realistic example.
"But……"
"Don't worry, I'll handle the details." An Feng said. "Don't you want this?"
Joanna said: "I agree very much as a citizen of the country, but as your wife, I will selfishly consider other things."
"You're over-thinking, my dear." An Feng held her in his arms. "This is just a simple business and will not cause any bad results."
In fact, the most fundamental reason An Feng didn't say - whether there is any benefit or not, he would give out the technology. From the analysis of the structure of the equation, checks and balances strengths, which will reduce the probability of a dispute. So after comprehensive consideration, he would choose to do this.
It just happened that the British came to him on their own initiative.
...
When manufacturing exoskeletons, if the equipment and materials are sufficient, it can be done in two weeks. If it is a mass production form, the average is no more than three days. What Anfeng can provide is the overall drawing that tests some brains, and how to match three core components to torture some brain cells.
After learning about the whole process, Smith was surprised: "Power-assisted systems, batteries and chips, is this what prevents us from making?"
An Feng asked back: "Do you think it's easy?"
Smith thought about it and said that the companies that manufacture power systems are currently rooted in the UK, and the other two are technologies that shock the world, so it is not easy.
"I'm sorry." Smith corrected the mistake.
An Feng continued to explain: "I believe that your machinery and equipment are good enough. Do it according to the drawings, and then order three cores. The assist system and battery are not a big problem, mainly chips. If the United States agrees to export, there will be no problem. If not, consider self-producing."
"The Americans will agree because the power system is in our hands," Smith said.
When An Feng heard this, he laughed: "That's true."
It took not a day to go, An Feng said it according to the drawings. The group of technicians recorded it hard, and after asking the details one by one, they could start production immediately. After An Feng completed the task and left, he was not worried that the other party would regret it. The core was in his own hands.
After staying in Birmingham for a few days, he ended his social engagements and returned to London.
This time Bazer invited them to visit. An Feng was more respectful than obedient. After preparing carefully, he drove to the Kensington area about ten kilometers away from central London. The area is a typical rich area with a high housing price area, but it is a bit beyond An Feng's expectations.
An Feng, who slowed down, said: "I thought Bazer should live in that kind of rural manor. He is a baron, an authentic nobleman."
Joanna said: "Maybe you have to consider the actual situation. He is a busy person who often travels to Europe and the United States and lives far away. Can time be taken care of?"
"Maybe it," said An Feng, "If I fly around often, I will definitely be the same as him."
During the conversation, the car came to Bazer's house.
By the standards of ordinary people, Bazer is a place with mountains and waters, which is very luxurious. But by the standards of his mother, it is very ordinary here to be honest.
An Feng drove into the house.
Bazer, her wife and a housekeeper all came out to welcome her. She was not big in size, but she also had a set of standards for the nobles.
According to the rules of the guests, An Feng greeted him and his wife Victoria, and Bazel also had a daughter. However, he has been sent to the boarding school and has not come back. There is only one butler, a chef and two people in the house. The driver is also served by the butler.
Bazer asked them into the house and said, "Please feel free, I know you young people don't like that red tape."
An Feng smiled: "It seems that the sir is also a veteran."
Bazer said: "Of course, my mother is the only one who sticks to that, traditional and cumbersome. Not everyone can adapt, let alone enjoy it."
"Please sit!" Bazer asked them to sit down. "For the education of their children, I advocate streamlined routes and keep a gentleman and ladylike set, but not too high demands. Like Joanna, it is perfect. Any shortcomings can be accepted, and it is complicated and not fun."
"I agree, children should also have free time to dominate," said An Feng.
Bazer said something about education. But to be honest, An Feng has no children, so it was a bit difficult to talk about these things with Bazer. Fortunately, Bazer observed his words and expressions. He changed the topic without saying a few words, and talked about his recent fun, equestrian and so on.
Although Bazer was in his twenties, he also had common topics. Several people talked until the evening and held dinners in the Western way of entertaining guests. It took a long time. In addition to chatting, they also talked about some commercial matters, the development of communication companies, etc.
"According to Hart's meaning, he will arrange a very outstanding person to manage the company. I am quite confident about him. His business investment success rate is high and his choice is unique. If you don't have talents you value, I suggest following his plan." Bazer said.
Joanna said: "I talked to him and agreed with him."
Bazel looked at An Feng, and An Feng smiled and said, "I have no problem. The investor is Joanna, and I am not a member of the board of directors."
"Wish us success." Bazer raised his glass to them.
...
Stay in Bazer for a day and then return to central London.
According to Goodridge's progress report, the club's transfer is almost certain. He currently has 410 million pounds to acquire the team, and most of the money is used to pay off the team's debts, bank debts, etc. The rest is the cash that the previous boss can get, about 80 million pounds.
In addition, he promised to have an additional 100 million pounds of working capital to purchase players and club operations, and the total amount of acquisition actually reached 510 million pounds, which is the party with the highest offer at present and is also the one that satisfies the previous boss. The cooperation is basically no surprise.
Two days later, the official news came and the other party agreed to sell the team.
An Feng doesn't need to prepare much. Credit Suisse's Hollandek has helped him deal with the money and will use the money as Joanna. Now all they need is waiting for lawyers and assistants. There are also a certain number of bodyguards to deal with curious media.
On the day of signing the contract, An Feng transformed into a man in black suit and sunglasses, following her close to her. Joanna dressed in a standard British lady, with a dark coat and long skirt, a hat slanted, and a lace glove on both hands. She was very solemn. She knew she was a woman of extraordinary origin at a glance.
