Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Lotus Garden Gathers
Cang Hao asked casually, "How did you deal with this matter later?"
Meng Yanglong snorted lightly: "We can only let the police sue the owner of the car, there is no way to answer why the car was destroyed, only to investigate slowly. ”
"Okay, this matter, it has something to do with me...... Cang Hao laughed dryly, and said: "The main thing is that the owner of the car is too angry, I am teaching him a lesson for Tianxingdao, and I promise not to use weapons in the downtown area in the future." ”
"That's not what I care about. Meng Yanglong waved his hand vigorously: "This kind of medium-range fire support weapon has always been our dream, but the cost of the existing equipment is too high, and the effect is not satisfactory." ”
"Oh, you mean this......" Cang Hao relaxed, leaned back on the sofa, and lifted Erlang's legs: "Let's talk about how to do this business!"
Meng Yanglong frowned: "Business?"
"Isn't it business?"
"Of course not. Meng Yanglong said bluntly: "I hope you can provide this weapon to the country, at least take out two samples, and we can do reverse research." ”
"Is this ......" Cang Hao smiled: "It seems unlikely!"
"Why can't it be, still?"
"Our R&D and production are all cost-effective, how can we take them out for free?"
Meng Yanglong said righteously: "This is a good opportunity for you to contribute to the country, I hope you can grasp it, aren't you patriotic?"
"I love the country, but who loves me?" Cang Hao smiled disdainfully: "The country is rich enough, and hundreds of millions of dollars of silver are scattered abroad, so you can't treat the people very hard." It's okay for me to contribute, but I have to pay for it, otherwise I will have benefits after contributing, and it will be easy to say whose pocket it will fall into. ”
"You ......" Meng Yanglong's face turned red, and he was a little angry: "Let you do something, you will bargain, how can you learn Lei Feng?"
"I never said that I had studied Lei Feng...... Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "As an aside, there is a rumor that the West Point Military Academy of Country M hangs a statue of Lei Feng and requires the whole school to study." In fact, this thing is completely empty, I guarantee that the West Point Military Academy does not hang the statue of Lei Feng, but unfortunately there are still a large number of Chinese tourists who go to the West Point Military Academy every year to find the statue of Lei Feng, which makes the school very annoying. ”
"Good boy!" Meng Yanglong snorted lightly: "So there is no room for talking?"
"If you make a profit from me and go out to cheapen foreigners, it is better for me to send money to foreigners. Cang Hao slowly bragged about Bull B: "Recently, I have been approached by foreign arms dealers, hoping to buy this technology. The price is very attractive, I haven't agreed for the time being, just wait for Meng Lao to give me an explanation. If you give me the same price, I can transfer the technology to you, which is already benevolent, but let me contribute for free, that is impossible. ”
Gao Xuexuan came out to make a round: "Meng Lao, in fact, Cang Hao just wants to make some money, no matter where you go to buy weapons and equipment, you have to spend a lot of money, if Cang Hao's weapon system really works, there is nothing wrong with letting Cang Hao make this money." ”
Hearing Gao Xuexuan's words, Meng Yanglong thought about it calmly, and finally nodded helplessly: "How much do you offer?"
"My offer...... Cang Hao's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "We can produce this kind of equipment and sell it to you." ”
"If it's a technology transfer, it's just a one-shot deal. If you sell equipment, it means that you have an ATM,......" Meng Yanglong smiled coldly: "Your kid's business acumen is very shrewd!"
Cang Hao nodded proudly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
"It's just that you are smart but you are mistaken by ...... smart," Meng Yanglong said sarcastically: "As long as there are these two systems, you only need to do reverse research to imitate them." ”
"Meng Lao, our weapons and equipment involve a lot of patented technology, and my country has joined the international intellectual property convention, can you respect intellectual property rights?" Speaking of this, Cang Hao's face suddenly changed: "More importantly, in fact, this kind of system is not complicated, and all the equipment and technology involved can even be solved on Taobao." There is no problem with reverse research, what really matters is the design idea. Actually, I have no problem telling you this idea now, but I guarantee that the product you imitate is definitely much more expensive than the one I sold you. ”
Meng Yanglong subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Because the Blood Lion mercenaries are not corrupt!" Cang Hao replied bluntly: "All accessories are openly purchased, no one eats kickbacks, and the quality is guaranteed." If you think that domestic military-industrial complexes can do this, then produce it yourself. ”
"This ......" Meng Yanglong's expression was very embarrassed when he heard this, he hesitated for a long time, and finally compromised: "Give me a price, I will purchase five sets in advance, if it is easy to use, large-scale procurement is not impossible." ”
Cang Hao took a sticky note and wrote a number on it: "This is the price of a single system." ”
Meng Yanglong took a look at it and felt that it was a little expensive, but it was acceptable: "Then it's decided." ”
In fact, Cang Hao played a cautious eye and did not clarify the definition of "single system".
According to the original design of the ink master, each set of Thunder drones includes a driving launch device and more than a dozen drones, but it has shrunk here in Canghao, and each system has only one drone in addition to the launch device, which has made Meng Yanglong a lot of money.
At this time, Zhang Hanqi interjected: "Your affairs have been discussed, can you start the meeting?"
"Yes. Meng Yanglong nodded: "The main purpose of the Lotus Garden Club meeting this time is to welcome our new member - Cang Hao, it seems that everyone was not very happy in the last meeting, fortunately the problem has finally been solved." ”
Meng Yanglong's voice landed, and the room resounded with sparse applause, welcoming Cang Hao's arrival.
Meng Yanglong coughed twice and said slowly: "The second thing is that Ms. Gao has encountered a little trouble recently, and I hope to ask for everyone's opinions!"
Lu Siyan hurriedly asked, "What's the trouble?"
"Diamond Alliance......" Gao Xuexuan said about Gross's visit, and then said: "I have thought about it, although the price offered by Gross is very attractive, the Lan Group will not go to others to act as a killer again. What really worries me is that I haven't heard of the Diamond Alliance in the past and don't know what kind of organization they are. ”
"In other words, a new force has emerged,......" Meng Yanglong said slowly in a long voice: "Although this Gross claims to be a legitimate businessman, it is difficult to say whether their actions will pose a danger to national security, and I think it is necessary to take more precautions." ”
"The problem is that we've never heard of the Diamond Alliance. Zhang Xingyu looked at the people present and asked curiously, "Which of you knows about this organization?"
Cang Hao asked lazily: "It won't be for diamonds, right?"
Cang Hao was right. Lu Siyan's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he said very angrily: "They really sell diamonds!"
"Oh?" Meng Yanglong asked with interest, "Is it possible to sell diamonds for so much money?"
"Of course. Lu Siyan snorted heavily: "There is a popular saying that the three commodities with the greatest profits are arms, drugs and movies, which has some truth, but it is a step worse than jewelry and jade." And in jewelry and jade, the profit of diamonds is high and terrifying, so the Diamond Alliance is rich enough. ”
Meng Yanglong nodded thoughtfully: "Tell me in detail." ”
"Strictly speaking, the Diamond Alliance is a monopoly that controls the production and sale of most diamonds worldwide. After a pause, Lu Siyan continued: "When it comes to diamonds, many people instinctively feel that they must be very valuable, but few people know that in fact, the reason why diamonds are so expensive is because the production and sales are controlled by the diamond alliance, that is, the monopoly causes high prices. Young people get married to buy diamond rings, and wealthy people often buy bigger diamonds to show their status, and their purchases usually take place at auction houses or jewelry companies. There are too many jewelry companies and auction houses in this world that seem to have little to do with each other, but they are in the lower reaches of the diamond industry chain, and the mining and primary processing of diamonds are in the hands of the Diamond Alliance. In other words, the pricing power of diamonds is in the hands of the Diamond Alliance, you go to the jewelry counter of a large shopping mall to buy a diamond ring, the company that produces the diamond ring only makes a normal profit, but it is difficult to say how much money it contributes to the Diamond Alliance. ”
Cang Hao asked with interest, "How do you know so clearly?"
"I was one of our country's delegates to the Kimberley Accord. Lu Siyan took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a puff and continued: "I don't understand economics, and before attending the meeting, I made up the relevant information, and found a lot of problems. The Republic of Congo alone exports 5.2 million carats of diamonds every year, do you think this thing is worth anything?"
Meng Yanglong was also interested by these words: "What else?"
"What's more, from the moment the diamond first appeared to the market, it has always been controlled by a few companies, and this is the diamond alliance formed by these companies. The member countries of the Kimberley Conference have investigated the Diamond Alliance and found a lot of dirty insiders......" Lu Siyan's words became very disdainful: "That's right, on the surface, this organization is legitimate, and it does legitimate business. But because of their legitimate business, it has caused countless killings and bloody storms in this world, and because of this, jewelry companies are pursuing exposure, but the Diamond Alliance has been keeping a low profile, lest it is not mysterious enough. ”
