Chapter 251: Is Appearance Above All Else?
"Uncle George, isn't it too much to force William like this?"
After separating from Kim Hyun-tae, George Sr. called Anne.
When old George mentioned this, Anne immediately complained about him.
Hehe.
Listening to Anne's complaining tone on the phone, old George smiled.
"I'm also putting a little pressure on him, but also to see if there will be any surprises. After all, he is a young man that you and I are optimistic about, so this can be regarded as a small test. ”
To Anne, George Sr. told him what he really thought.
It turned out that he and Kim Hyun-tae said that they just wanted to test Kim Hyun-tae.
"Uncle George, even if it's a test, you're a bit too much of a question. You know, he's just a 17-year-old boy, how can he solve such a big problem. ”
Anne was right, it didn't make sense for Kim Hyun-tae to give advice on this question.
You know, this should be the guys in the White House, or the people in the Pentagon.
You let a 17-year-old boy think about it, it's simply bullying people.
"Well, Annie, anyway, let's see what advice this kid can come up with, and maybe he'll really surprise you and me. ”
Old George comforted Anne, and at the same time excused himself a little.
Anne took a deep breath and didn't want to dwell on this issue, she was still pregnant and about to give birth, so it was not a good thing to be angry.
"Uncle George, is there really any intention on the part of Congress to go to war?"
Letting go of Kim Hyun-tae's question, Anne asked about joining the war.
George Sr. replied: "Basically, it is estimated that it will be announced to the public in three days, and we will send 300,000 men to South Vietnam after the previous three infantry divisions." ”
Anne snorted: "Cut the meat in Japan." Now that the Congress and the military have money, right, there is going to be a big move. But it's not bad, my arms company is in a slump right now, and it needs a big order from the military. ”
Listening to Anne's words on the other end of the phone, old George laughed 'hehe'.
Anne is not wrong at all, although Anne and others also made money in the event of the yen's appreciation, the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States made the most money.
In other words, the U.S. government is the one with the greatest vested interests, and Anne and others are just making small profits.
Then the U.S. government has money. It is inevitable that there will be confidence and ambition, which is a natural thing.
Coupled with a group of military generals and radical agitation, it is only natural that the United States will eventually enter the Vietnam War.
After all, if you go to war, many people will benefit from it, right?
Arms dealers get benefits.
Military generals get honor, and at the same time can also have benefits.
Members of the National Assembly can also benefit from all parties in private.
In short, it's a happy thing for all.
War can tear a family apart. It can also make some people rich.
I have to say, this is really speechless.
"Annie, don't you tell the truth to Uncle George? How can your arms company be in a slump, but I've heard about Wheatton Heavy Industries Arms this year. Tanks sales agreements have been signed with Iraq and Iran, and Iraq has ordered 40,000 tanks in one go. ”
Old George debunked Anne's lies a little.
However, Anne, whose lies were exposed, did not mean to be ashamed at all.
"It's just a little money. ”
God pity the profit, 40,000 tanks. It's just a small amount of money.
In this way, Anne can say it without blushing.
In another time and space, Iraq bought a total of 9,000 tanks during the Iran-Iraq war. And all of them were bought from Huaxia.
And Iran also bought five or six thousand tanks, and they also bought them from China.
During this period, the rabbit made a lot of money.
I have to say that the little white rabbit is still a little black-bellied.
But in this time and space, during the Iran-Iraq war, Huaxia did not make any big moves, but let Anne start to make a fortune.
Due to the increase in area and population, Iraq in this time and space ordered 40,000 tanks for war in one go, and the number of purchases was more than four times that of another time and space.
The same is true for Iran.
Anne would be lying to say that she was just making a little money or something.
God knows how much she earned.
It's just that there's no need to say this to old George.
"Iraq needs a batch of rifles, the number is 2 million, Uncle George, are you interested?"
It is not okay to eat alone, and Anne knows this very well.
Considering that the old George's family also runs an arms company, it is not impossible to share some profits.
Besides, Anne's arms company is already overloaded, and even if she wants to eat this batch of weapons orders, she is powerless, right?
"Thank you, Annie, my arms company has too many rifles in stock, and it's time to sell them now. ”
Old George laughed when he heard this, and thanked Anne at the same time.
Although it was over the phone, Anne could imagine that old George must have been smiling like a fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Tomorrow I will have the order sent to you, the deposit will also be on your company's account, the delivery period is two months, the location is in Kuwait, and the balance is also collected from Kuwait. ”
Anne spoke to old George about the key matter.
Old George wrote it down with a loud 'Mmmm!'.
"Uncle George, do you have any news here?"
Since the benefits were given, Anne always had to ask a question.
George Sr. also understands that even if he has a good relationship with Anne, and it is still a two-generation relationship, when it comes to interests, he still has to take it seriously.
"$300 billion, this is temporary, and it will increase in the future. ”
$300 billion in military spending on the Vietnam War?
Anne was silent for a while.
"What is the attitude of the other arms companies now?"
The U.S. arms company is not just Anne, there are three other large arms companies.
And the United States is about to get involved in the Vietnam War, and it is impossible for these arms companies to remain indifferent.
Seeing that Anne inquired about this, old George said truthfully: "Dupont, Kamal, and James are united." If you want to win orders for light and heavy weapons, and some small arms companies are looking for some loose orders, what do you think?"
As soon as Anne heard this, she understood.
The other three alliances are one, and they are ready to squeeze themselves out.
The light and heavy weapons are all wrapped, so what's the matter with this?
Some small arms companies, on the other hand, have completed some small orders that are scattered, and it is not easy for them to compete with these small arms companies, which is very unproductive.
But this matter is not difficult for Anne, anyway, the arms company she controls under her name. Orders for tanks from Iraq and Iran, it will be enough for her to feed this year.
As for the sale of light weapons, Africa can also be satisfied, so there is no need to fight with these people.
Besides, what these guys occupy is nothing more than light and heavy weapons, as well as armored vehicles, and they still have their own places to meddle.
So Anne thought about it and said to old George on the phone: "Tell the people in the military." Wheatstone military industry was willing to take orders for bombers and aerial bombs. ”
That's right, Anne can meddle in aircraft orders, you know, she also has an aircraft manufacturing company under her name, and this is not just a company that makes civil airliners. You can also make bombers.
When old George knew what Anne meant, he said to her: "This matter is not a big problem, the defense budget committee should be able to pass it, and the generals of the military are also inclined to Wheatstone." After all, everyone has been working well together. ”
Some things don't need to be said so clearly, and everyone knows what is going on.
The United States in a different time and space is compared to another time and space. That's a lot of corruption.
It's just that ordinary Americans in this time and space don't know about these things.
Then again, there is no need to tell the public about the unspoken rules of the top, is there.
Unless it's because of some fight, it's being used to expose it.
This is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
At this time, Anne asked, "What about logistics?
In a war, it's not just weapons that can make a lot of money, but also logistics that can be bought and sold lucratively.
Anne could not have been unaware of this.
"There's a lot of competition, but it's all small businesses. How are you interested?"
Anne had never been involved in this business, so when she asked about it, it was very strange to old George.
Like Anne, the four major U.S. arms companies focus on providing weapons, and logistics support is not involved at all.
It's not that I don't want to, but I don't want to get involved, and I also want to leave some way for other companies to live, so that my reputation is not so bad.
American capitalists in a different time and space have no eyes when they see money.
It's just that they occasionally think about the image.
The same goes for Anne.
This time, however, Anne asks about it, which is very confusing.
But Anne didn't leave old George puzzled for long, and she gave an answer.
"If William's side can give you a good answer, then you should think about it. ”
Hohoo!
It turned out that Anne asked about this matter to seek benefits for Kim Hyun-tae.
"Annie, Annie, what did Uncle George say about you, you have helped that boy enough, do you want to continue to help him?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy to do this, can't I?", Anne's answer was so willful that old George couldn't even laugh or cry.
"Okay, okay! I promise you, as long as the answer he gives me is satisfactory to me, then I will do my part in the logistics and give him a piece of the pie. It's just that you've thought about it, is he willing to do it?"
George Sr. agreed with Anne's plan, but eventually expressed his own concerns.
On the phone, Anne said: "There is money to be made, why is he unwilling, no one in this world wants to live with money, and he is not a fool." In particular, he participated in the logistics supply order, which can make him logically involved in military manufacturing in the future. ”
Anne's true plan was not to hide from old George.
"Annie, Uncle George regrets that he was born too early, and if I were forty years younger, I would have been willing to pursue you. Old George teased with envy and hatred.
Listening to Old George's ridicule full of envy, jealousy and hatred, Anne snorted and said to Old George on the phone: "Even if you are young, you have no chance, you are not as handsome as William, this is the most important thing." ”
Belch!
In the face of this fact, it is really impossible for old George to refute.
He must admit that although Kim Hyun-tae is an Asian, he is indeed very handsome.
Oops, isn't this world more beautiful than anything else!
Old George took the phone, looked up at the blue sky speechlessly, and shouted wordlessly in his heart.
"The due date is approaching, isn't it? As the father of the child, are you going to let him go and have a look?"
Not talking about business, George Sr. changed the subject.
"Half a month later, although I also want him to come, but this is just wishful thinking. After all, he didn't know anything, and I wasn't going to tell him all about it, so I was also struggling with it. ”
In front of Old George, Anne regained the attitude of a junior, not the side of a strong business woman.
Listening to Anne's words, old George felt that he really didn't understand the thoughts of young people, and he didn't understand what could be done even if he confessed to Kim Hyun-tae.
At the very least, let him know that he is carrying his child, even if it is through artificial insemination.
But old George didn't have much to say about this, after all, it still needed Anne's own idea to make up her mind. (To be continued.) )
