"Thompson is a leather bag company, and he doesn't have his own R&D organization at all. Hans said with disdain.

"Oh?" Li Zitao looked up at him.

"Boss, the man who made these weapons, is the same company that made your python revolver. Hans said, pointing to the python revolver at his waist.

"Colt?" Li Zitao looked at the pistol on his waist with some surprise.

"That's right, Thompson is just a shell company responsible for external sales, they don't even have their own weapons manufacturing plant, and the factory building has been converted into a warehouse. ”

"And they only have Thompson's gun in their name, and now it's peacetime, if it weren't for the gangsters' big purchase, they would have gone bankrupt. ”

"Equipped with the U.S. Army's M26A1911 semi-automatic pistol, also produced by Colt, but Thompson holds the manufacturing patent for the Chicago printer. ”

Hearing that Colt was a potential arms purchaser for the military, Li Zitao's eyes lit up and he said, "How is Colt's development, is there any chance to acquire it?"

"It's hard. "As early as the design of the division was decided, S.H.I.E.L.D. began to pay attention to the small arms factories on the market, including, of course, Colt, who was an eye-catcher in the pistol industry.

"Because of the military's high-volume purchases, Colt has ample cash flow. Hans said with some regret.

"It's okay, Ava, let the think tank contact them to see if there is any possibility of investing in cooperation, and contact Thompson to buy their patents. ”

It's better for Colt to accept the acquisition, and if you don't accept it, you can choose to cooperate, and when the time comes, you can become your own person, and it's always okay to borrow a few gunsmiths, right?

It's all a family, yours isn't mine, my ...... It's still mine.

As for the Chicago typewriter, its performance is unquestionable, especially in hand-to-hand combat, it is simply a lethal weapon.

Since sales are pitiful because of the low sales in peacetime, presumably as long as the price is right, Thompson should choose to let go.

Others don't know, Li Zitao couldn't be more clear about the occurrence of World War II.

Didn't you see the little man in the black government every once in a while, promoting his ** party?

When the war comes, with the strong performance of the Chicago typewriter, it may be able to win the military's large-scale purchases.

And isn't there more than 8 years left to be used for R&D and improvement!

Thinking of another income coming in the future, Li Zitao felt happy in his heart......

After seeing the situation here, Li Zitao took Ava and left under the protection of the monk and others, and went straight to the Skunk Factory.

Heading northwest along the west coastline out of town, the road under construction was bumpy in sections.

"Is Highway 1 being built here?" Li Zitao asked curiously when he saw the sign being put up by the roadside workers.

"Yes, it's been on and off for 8 years. Ava said calmly.

The speed of the United States is hopeless, and it has to be calculated for several years to build a small road casually, which really makes Li Zitao uncomfortable.

The future of California Highway 1, I don't know when it will actually be seen.

"By the way, will we pass by Hearst Castle?" Li Zitao suddenly remembered the top castle he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, it should have existed at this time, right?

"Boss, are you talking about the charming mountain house built by the Hearst family?" Ava thought curiously, "We've just passed by, it's camping on top of the mountain." ”

When I learned from Ava's mouth, the famous Hearst Castle in the previous life has only just been strengthened and the foundation has been laid.

And the name given to it by the newspaper tycoon Hearst was not "Hearst Castle," but a charming estate.

It's right to think about it, how can it be named 'ancient castle' before it is built.

"How many years has it been built?" Li Zitao looked strange.

"It was officially built in 1920, and it has been exactly 10 years now. Ava said.

"This is very American......" Li Zitao completely despaired of the speed of the United States.

In the future, he also wants to build a luxury estate or castle of his own, if it is left to these people to build it......

"Grandson, remember that after the castle was built, take a picture and burn it to me......"

mdzz~~

Arriving in Santa Barbara, the scent of flowers and the moist air of the sea water will make you feel refreshed, and the coolness that seeps into your heart is like purifying your body.

"No wonder it attracts the attention of the rich. "Not to mention the natural scenery, the air alone makes him tempted.

Chicago's air is smoky because of the burning of coal by trains, ships, and industry, and Los Angeles is no better, and the black smoke pipes of the steamers in the harbor are prohibitive.

"Boss, that's our R&D center over there. The ground here is gravel and dirt, and Ava took out a pair of white flats from under the saddle and changed them into.

In front of the factory, which occupies an area about the size of four carports, two special guards are standing there, and there are more than a dozen special guards around to patrol, these small things are naturally Ava's arrangement.

"Go relax and come back before dinner. Li Zitao said to the monk.

"Okay, Boss. Seeing that there were his own people, and knowing Li Zitao's skills clearly, the monk led people to the town without refuting.

They're almost getting used to this kind of 'task' to enjoy life wherever they go. ’

When you enter the factory, you are not as organized as you imagined, and instruments, tools, and semi-finished products of R&D are piled up everywhere.

Oily everywhere, this is the right way to open in the 30s.

"Miss Ava. A bald, slightly chubby, glasses young man greeted him and looked at Li Zitao with curious eyes.

"This is Johnson, the chief designer of Skunk. Ava whispered, pointed sideways at Li Zitao and said, "Johnson, this is my boss." ”

"Mr. Lee, welcome to Skunk Works, that's a great name. Johnson shook his hand warmly.

"Oh, why do you say that?" asked Li Zitao playfully.

"Because it's cool, skunk, it reminds me of oil and American knives, and we can't do without their help. "Johnson was very talkative.

"Yes, that's it. Li Zitao nodded calmly.

The devil knows what a skunk means, it's just his bad taste, but when a person reaches a certain level of achievement and status.

His casual words will be translated into a variety of meaningful, inspirational, and wise quotes. ’

Li Zitao enjoyed this feeling very much, and considered whether to find some experts in literature, art, and history who would be responsible for translating his famous sayings. ’

When people reach middle age, he can also publish a few autobiographies with these, right?

"As you instructed, the initial focus is on the engine...... Johnson told him about the current development results.

I have to say that the professional is different, the company's business has not yet entered the run-in, but the research and development has been moving forward.

Johnson plans to produce a twin engine that will increase the power-to-weight ratio while adding kinetic energy and stability to the aircraft......

Bar, bar, bar, bar,

"Very good idea, is there a prototype?" Li Zitao didn't dare to ask for samples, for fear that Johnson would bring in an engine and give him a good power lesson.

"The engine is still in the experimental stage, and the prototype is ...... It takes time. Johnson's face flushed slightly.

The boss didn't play his cards according to the routine, and he was caught off guard.

According to normal logic, after he explained, shouldn't he visit the factory and the test engine to learn about its detailed data?

How did you cross over to the prototype as soon as you came up, and what about the process in the middle?

For a designer who prides himself on technology, it feels terrible.

If Ben were here, he would definitely have a good conversation with Johnson, have a long talk with candles, and launch a series of complaints against Li Zitao with the same hatred.

"Tell Ava if there are any problems that need to be solved, and she will relay them to me as soon as possible, and there is no need for any hard requirements for skunks.

Any good, imaginative, whimsical idea, they can go and experiment and demonstrate, and the biggest requirement here is to use all your imagination ......"

If you shackle genius in a framework, you will only get a waste of wood in the end, and Li Zitao hopes that Skunk can use all his imagination.

Maybe only 1 out of 100 of those fanciful ideas can be realized.

Li Zitao believes that the only one will definitely bring him a rich report.

From ancient times to the present, how many genius designs and inventions have originated from 'dare to think,' if you don't even dare to think about it, how can you succeed?

Just like him, a salted fish, if he hadn't boldly thought of overthrowing Capone, how could he have achieved today's achievements.

"When the prototype comes out, make sure to tell me. Before leaving, Li Zitao did not forget to explain it again.

In Johnson's view, this is a strong questioning of the progress of their work by the boss.

"Get everybody into the office for a meeting. Johnson gritted his teeth and muttered, "I'm going to show the boss what we're capable of before the end of the year." ”

More investment, more freedom, more money, he wants it all.

"Boss, will this be too stressful?" Walking towards the town, Ava looked at Li Zitao, who was snickering, and was a little speechless.

"No, no, geniuses always need some pressure to use their clever brains, and that pressure is there now, just wait for the fruits to be satisfied. ”

Breathing in the fresh, moist air, Li Zitao was very satisfied with the development of the skunk.

Although he couldn't understand those professional terms, he could feel the confidence and pride of the other party from Johnson's confident and sonorous words.

"Special planes, sports cars, yachts, ......" Thinking of these, Li Zitao only had a bitter face.

Buzzing, like a special plane that is about to fall apart.

Yachts that smoke black smoke and burn coal?

The speed is only 50 miles, a classic car-style sports car?

Why is there no system for my rebirth, otherwise it would be good to have a memory fragment with black technology!!

Silently complaining about this forced crossing, Li Zitao walked into the bar in the town.

"Shh......h

"Let's make it. Li Zitao frowned.

"Sorry, I just wanted to get to know this beautiful lady. After bowing politely, the other party stretched out his hand to Ava and said, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to treat you to a drink?"
