Chapter 722 Grant?
Grant Group, one of the largest arms companies in the United States.About one-third of the annual arms purchases of the United States will fall into the Grant Group.Among them, the more famous ones are all kinds of warships and the maintenance of warships, including the automation systems on warships and so on.

Many warships currently in service in the United States are manufactured by the Grant Group.This is a giant company.

Maybe many people think that the old American military enterprises may be very rigid after many years of inheritance, but in fact this is not the case at all.They occupy one of the most profitable industries in the world. While supporting their proxy president to carry out various military operations, they have never stopped research and development.

Of course, with their current technology, they can outshine many of their peers for many years. Even if all research and development are stopped, with the current technology, it will take many years for most other companies to catch up.

Even if the rapidly developing country on the other side of the ocean wants to catch up with their technological level, it will not be possible to achieve it in five or six years.

They deeply know that if they stop, it won't be long before they will be inertial in their bones, and then they will lose the motivation to continue their research. There won’t be too many breakthroughs in research—a series of incentives are formulated by decision-makers, and researchers are also human beings. Unless they are the kind of single-minded people, no one will make things difficult for themselves, right?Let's live a comfortable life, but do you have to look for abuse?

After all, much research would not be motivated without incentives.

Regarding the Grant Group, Lin Dong not only knew it in reality, but also had information in his mind.

The Grant Group pays more attention to technology research and reserves than people think.

Like many large groups in the capital world, the Grant Group will also go around the world to collect some invention patents related to their research, buy them at a high price, and then manufacture them according to the situation, or put them directly in the safe to keep their own. The technology frontier position of existing products.

This is a very common practice.Before the existing products and technological capabilities have not been squeezed out of the maximum value, the capital world usually will not produce a new generation of products-even if they know that the performance of new products may be better, users will be more welcome.

Of course, there is another exception—that is, the technical level of the opponent has been catching up vigorously. Then, the capital group not only has to release new technical designs frequently, but also often sends some new products to the military to test their effects.

For example, because Huaxia and Maozi have invested a lot in stealth fighters, and their technical level is constantly improving, so Laomei's F22 and F35 are in production, constantly improving technology, and even the sixth generation aircraft.

But what about gunships?How old is the old beautiful longbow Apache?Isn't there a new design?There must be, but Huaxia and Maozi also have armed helicopters, but they are much worse than Apache, and the current development is still poor, so he is not in a hurry and waits slowly.

This is what capital does.

At present, Grant Corporation is the main supplier of naval equipment in the United States and even many pro-European countries. In the future generations of the parallel world, the information in Lin Dong's mind is that in the next few decades, Grant Group's business will slowly shrink. Because related companies in Huaxia began to enter this business and seized a lot of Grant's market share.

In the past, Huaxia's products usually seized the market with one factor: cheap.

Think about it, the same fighter, when the J-16, which is almost comparable to the F[-], is sold, it is much cheaper than the former.Although there may be a little gap in performance, especially in electronic equipment, it will not really lose much in terms of performance.

What a bargain!
Think about it, using the Great Wall, Jiangling pickup, and some civilian steel pipes can make a simple rocket launcher that runs around in the Middle East. Do you still care about this gap?

However, after several decades, the performance of Huaxia's products is more than just this one feature.

The most important thing is that the technical level has caught up, but the price is not much more expensive than before!
This is the power that a big country with a sound industrial system will explode when it starts to seize the world market.

Therefore, Grant, who was used to being the dominant company and letting other companies pick up some leftovers, couldn't sit still, and immediately competed with Huaxia's companies to seize the market.

In the past, when Huaxia's companies were doing business in this area, they were often a bit embarrassing - after all, military industrial companies have been used to the planned economy for many years, and it is not easy to go out and find the market on their own.However, after the military reform, Huaxia's military enterprises have basically been state-owned or privatized, and they are much more flexible in their operations. They are no slower than companies like Huawei and Sany in seizing the market, especially once they get used to doing business like Huaxia. This method, many businessmen all over the world, really cannot grab it.

In the words of Europeans and Americans, Nima, you yellow people are really hardworking, okay?

Of course, the competition for capital must be fierce and cruel.Even bloodshed.Needless to say, many details, when the Grant Group retained the old American local market and some markets in the European and American countries that are pro-American, but lost most of the other markets in the world, related companies in Huaxia also lost a lot in overseas locations. manpower.

Therefore, speaking of it, Lin Dong still knows a little about the Grant Group.

For example, the Ms. Hathaway in front of me, although she is only a special representative in China now, but more than ten years later, she has become an important director of the Grant Group-this woman is really good at assessing the situation. See The temperament of the wind makes it easy for her to climb to the top of Grant in a short period of time.

Of course, there is no doubt about his ability - look at just now, just because of Lin Dong's look, he immediately changed his negotiation strategy. It is difficult for such a person to fail!

However, does Lin Dong dare to cooperate with her?
dare not!

I really dare not!In the encyclopedia, there is more than one piece of information about Hathaway's participation in negotiations with Huaxia Enterprises on behalf of the Grant Group. The merger or cooperation after these negotiations all proved in the end that the people who were cheated in the end were all Huaxia Enterprises!
Today, she took aim at the Changying Group again.If Lin Dong didn't know her details and style of work in advance, I'm afraid even if the cooperation cannot be negotiated, at least he can leave a good impression!
What about in the future?Once such an impression is left behind, it's hard to say whether it will be cheated in the future!
