Blackstone Code Chapter 1539: Professional sales staff
Ancock Industries took an order from the Federal Army, but compared to Lynch's Blackstone Aviation's order of hundreds of millions of billions, it still seems a little thin.
It's not that the design and function of these tanks are not good, but they are all models that have not proven their value on the battlefield, and the Ministry of Defense will not purchase them on a large scale.
Although the military budget from last year has no equivalent of no ceiling, they are still responsible for taxpayer money.
If they spend money indiscriminately and without a plan, Congress may limit their military budget.
This kind of thing...it's not impossible, those people in Congress even want to force Mr. Trueman to bow his head before he takes office in order to gain more power and commitment!
Their machinations ultimately failed, and Mr. Trueman seemed to be largely unseemly, but he was actually not that broad-minded.
He's waiting, waiting for him to take full control of the Federation!
So even the Ministry of Defense doesn't come here casually when it comes to budgeting and military procurement, or maybe the gentlemen in Congress want to find a sense of presence in the military.
As we all know, in addition to the tax office being difficult to handle, taxpayers are actually very difficult to handle, especially when they suspect that you are wasting their taxes.
The current tax is so high, which is also a very sensitive piece.
So judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Ankerk Industries' tanks will not appear directly on the main battlefield.
Mr. Wardrick has been lobbying those in the Department of Defense recently that some of the vehicles they have purchased will be used on the northern border, which is a good thing.
Now there is good news from Lynch's side, much to Mr. Wardrick's relief.
In the Commonwealth, the poor respect the upper class for the resources and wealth at their disposal.
In high society, there are also classes.
There is also a relationship of respect between these people of different classes, so the upper class of the lower class, the respect of the upper class of the upper class, mainly respects the ability of the other party to make money!
Like Lynch - Dear Mr. Lynch!
In some more formal occasions there will always be people who say this to him with a smile, do you really think that Mr. Lin is respectable?
No, a lot of people want to hang him from a street lamp and divide his fortune, people have to say that because he really makes money!
As long as his earning power is not diminished, people will always respect him so much!
As long as you can make money all the time, it means you are a "capable" person!
Mr. Wardrick had a lot of smiles on his face, "How much are you going to...?"
He also had a guess in his mind, should he need thirty or fifty or one hundred?
The new vehicle takes Lynch's design inspiration, no longer has an open turret, and is made into a very odd polygon.
It has more horsepower, a longer wheelbase, a wider body, more ammo, and even has two machine guns.
The cost of the entire chariot is about 250,000 federal sols. This is the ex-factory price. In addition to the needs of revenue, its price is about 320,000 to 350,000.
This price is not high at all, the gross profit is about 25% to 30%, and the net profit may be 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Even if 100 vehicles are sold in this way, in terms of the company's revenue, the net profit is only three or four million——
But in fact, this number is really not low. Now the output value of mainstream small and medium-sized companies in the Federation is about a few hundred thousand. Some factories may be slightly more, one or two million.
Just one order can bring so much profit to the company, it really is not a small order.
But compared to Lynch's big orders, it does seem a little inconspicuous, but there is no way, the technical content between the two is completely different.
The current chariot is a gun tube, a high-horsepower engine, and an iron shell. It has not been developed that long, and there is nothing high-tech.
Breaks and bumpers might count as one, but you have to say how much these things you can see at a glance are worth...
So the price is very reasonable for this period.
Laughing, Lynch gave a number that exceeded Mr. Wardrick's guess—two hundred!
"I mean a conservative estimate of 200. This is just the first order. Once these tanks show their dominance on our main battlefield, I will be placing new orders soon."
"I'll find a way to convince the Gefra people to agree to spend money to solve the problem of the army's lack of combat power, maybe we will end up with an order of 500 to 1000 vehicles!"
Mr. Wardrick can't close his mouth with laughter, if Gavra sells a thousand chariots on the main battlefield and it works.
This means that the federal army will also increase its purchases. When the war is over, they may be able to sell thousands of vehicles just for the war!
Valley
All the wealth he lost when he left the consortium was earned back in a few years by relying on these orders, and was firmly rooted in the field.
He is worthy of affirmation for his decision.
On the afternoon of the third day, Lynch took the Prime Minister and a group of Gavra's diplomats, ministers, and military observers to the proving ground of Ancock Industries.
They've signed a deal with Lynch, which sounds a bit comical that a once-powerful nation would contract with a private company to hire them to fight for themselves in the face of something as serious as war.
But this is an absurd reality, and what some people can't explain is that His Excellency the Prime Minister has allocated a portion of the funds to the account designated by him in accordance with Lynch's request.
In addition to the upfront costs, this money also includes funds for the purchase of some projects that can help the Gefra people resist the invasion, as well as some engineering projects.
Today, they gathered at the Ancock Industries proving ground to see the new chariot, the core commodity of Lynch's "Project Can"!
Lynch mentioned this plan in his contract with Gavra, "Project Canning," and its core idea was to wrap the Gavra in solid steel.
Such a hard shell allows them to avoid some common casualties, and at the same time has a strong counterattack ability, which is very helpful for cutting the battlefield to create an advantageous area.
This plan has been unanimously approved by the Prime Minister, who know exactly what those armies are.
If they could have a safe environment, maybe they wouldn't have escaped so fast!
Afterwards, they saw a steel beast that impressed them and would never forget in a short time!
Five tanks roar forward, no matter the terrain, uphill, downhill, tunnel, trench...
It can almost be overcome quickly and crushed, followed by a test of firepower, and then the endurance of being attacked.
Especially in this part, the Gefra people were particularly shocked. One after another grenade was thrown on the tank and exploded, but the people on the opposite side had no effect.
Except for the turret of a chariot that can't be turned, bullets, grenades, etc. can no longer pose a threat to it.
As a salesman, Lynch also introduced its shortcomings. For example, its tracks were damaged and it could not continue to provide the driving force for the chariot.
But its tracks are easy to repair, and the entire track is directly assembled from multiple modules.
When it is blown up, it only takes a few simple steps to restore its power, which is actually not a disadvantage, but an advantage.
Looking at these big guys, the Gafra people are obviously very moved. They can provide strong firepower, and when combined with infantry and aircraft, especially bombers, they can completely dominate the entire battlefield!
They are not afraid of spending money. Anyway, what nobles have is money. If they find a reason to clear a batch, they can get enough military spending.
As long as things are good, they will accept it no matter how much money they have.
At the end, the Prime Minister asked eagerly, "What's its name?"
Lynch glanced at Mr. Wardrick, who smiled and said the word "tank."
The entire product presentation continued into the evening, and after sending the men away, Lynch was left behind by the Defense Department.
"These tanks...", the speaking officer coughed lightly, "We also need some."
Lynch was a little surprised, he glanced at Mr. Wardrick, the officer smiled awkwardly but politely, "We didn't have a lot of orders before, and the performance was not as good as it is now, so... "
This is to defend the statement of the Ministry of Defense. In fact, the Ministry of Defense did not order too much at the beginning, and ordered ten vehicles.
This new model actually has very limited changes compared to the previous model, with the turret becoming fully enclosed and the wheels becoming tracks.
When people from the Ministry of Defense came to investigate, they believed that the fully enclosed turret completely lost the flexible viewing angle, and they could only observe the enemy at a fixed angle.
Once someone attacks from behind or from the side ~IndoMTL.com~ it is difficult for people in the chariot to find these people at the first time, which will cause losses.
Secondly, the tires were changed to tracks, which lost the ability to move very quickly, and the new chariot was heavier and not suitable for the more complex ground combat rhythm.
In an attitude not to offend Mr. Wardrick, the Department of Defense ordered ten vehicles.
But what they saw today was a completely different tank, and Lynch showed them the tactical thinking around these big monsters called "tanks".
These tactics made the officers of the Ministry of Defense who accompanied the Gevra brighten their eyes. They didn't know much about other things. At least they understood the meaning of "not fighting alone"!
Fighting vehicles should always be used for military action in groups, not one tank or two tanks alone.
Tank clusters, combined with infantry coordination, the Air Force finds and destroys threatening targets in advance...
People look at Lynch differently.
This is a **** master tactician!
