Chapter 1082 - Fighting for Profit
The atmosphere at the scene instantly fell into an awkward silence.
"You kid!" ×2
National Defense Star and Northern Ordnance Industry reached an agreement in the shortest possible time. We finally finished talking about all the intrigues, and now you, a jerk, are causing this again.
But you can't hit him, and you can't scold him, which is really annoying.
Shen Fei stretched out her hand, held her boyfriend's hand tightly, and said nothing.
The corners of Old Shen's mouth twitched.
Well, the little cotton-padded jacket turns into a black-hearted cotton in an instant.
The board of directors of the Northern Ordnance Industry Group was even one level lower and could only watch helplessly.
What era are we in now? Do we still expect young people to put public interests above personal ones and only give them a few star dollars every month?
Chen Haiqing said helplessly: "The production of tactical jets requires investment, adjustment of the production line, and gathering of personnel. It will take more than one or two days. You can't do it alone."
"Yes, yes! You are not an industrial assembly line. How can you handle such a large output by yourself?"
Shen Songling also echoed.
What a big piece of cake! Although it has not been realized yet, the probability is very high.
Although the general-purpose crystal energy jet cannot replace the exclusive crystal energy jet, it has a wide range of applications and can be used for temporary replacement and daily training. Moreover, mass production can effectively reduce costs and can become an important auxiliary for the air knights.
"4853 aircraft, the latest version of the finished product is in stock, and there are more than sets of core modules."
Chen Fei reported a number.
Thanks to the large order that Louis Industrial Company placed on behalf of Chen Fei, the total cost of a large order is almost the same as that of a small order, so it is better to order a larger quantity and consume it slowly.
With a wave of the boss's hand, the tactical jet became a consumable item for Chen Xiaoer, and he indeed used it as a consumable item.
Chen Haiqing: “???”
Shen Songling: “???”
Directors of Northern Ordnance Industry: "Meow meow meow!"
He won’t even give me chopsticks!
Let alone thousands of aircraft, even if they took out 20 or , would the two companies still have a share of the sovereign order? Nowadays, orders for combat aircraft are large if they exceed , but if they exceed ? Unless they want to go to war with someone.
The sale of one combat aircraft is enough for an ordinary person to have enough food and drink for a lifetime.
Chen Haiqing said unhappily: "What do you want so much money for?"
He couldn't understand why Chen Fei had to compete with the two manufacturers for this order. Even if he got what he wanted, that much money was just a number and had no meaning at all.
Even if he takes some of the share according to the previous plan, it will be enough for him to have a house and a car and personal financial freedom. Moreover, his girlfriend's family conditions are not bad now. Not only will she not be a drag, but she can even become a help that cannot be underestimated.
According to common sense, the power of the Chen family's children should be used by the Chen family. But now, precisely because of Chen Fei's girlfriend, Chen Haiqing, the uncle, feels awkward. He accidentally stands on the opposite side, which will make it very difficult for his national defense star!
"It's impossible to have a reserve fund for free every time, right?"
After all, he has studied economics. Free often means a greater price to pay. Even though Chen Fei is enjoying the free sovereignty now, he will lose the initiative sooner or later.
He who eats the food of his master is always grateful, and he always tries to be a beggar by taking advantage of others. What if one day the sovereign asks him to do this or that, and he has to do it even though he knows it is wrong? Will he listen to him or not?
To prevent yourself from becoming a puppet sooner or later if you get things for free, it is better to save some money now for emergency use.
"How much do you need to spare? That's too much! Even if you need anything, won't your uncle help you?"
Chen Haiqing shook his head as he listened. He really couldn't guess what this kid was planning.
"Of course, save more money and owe less favors."
Chen Fei also shook his head. The debt of favor is much more expensive than star points.
"You guy!"
Chen Haiqing pointed at him helplessly. He really had no idea what to do. They were all members of the Chen family, so how could they know what to do?
"We at Northern Weapons Industry Group can also help. Isn't this tactical jet also providing support now?"
Although Shen Songling does not have the blood relationship advantage like Chen Haiqing, he has the first-mover advantage in the development of tactical jets, and some support in terms of manpower, material resources and venues, so it is impossible to be considered as having no relationship at all.
Chen Fei was right about one thing, and that is the debt of favor.
It’s easy to repay money, but hard to repay favors.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Songling seemed to understand Chen Fei's thoughts. He did not live in vain in this society. He finally learned to be smart.
Exchanged views with the board of directors.
Shen Songling spoke again and said, "Xiao Chen, it is impossible to give all the orders to you. Whether it is Northern Weapon Industry or National Defense Star, we are big businesses with so many people to feed and resources to operate. You can take a part of the order, but it cannot exceed 20%. The rest will be split in half between the two companies. After-sales service will also be ours, but the supply price of parts must leave room for us. If there is only labor cost, no one will be willing to do it."
If Chen Fei did not have spot goods in hand, the two companies would not have given up this part. The individual took 20%, and the two manufacturers each took 40%. The reduction from 50% to 40% was barely acceptable.
But no matter what, it is impossible for the Northern Ordnance Industry Group and National Defense Star to voluntarily give up this order because of family ties. Family is family and business is business, otherwise there will be no way to do it.
"I agree!"
Chen Haiqing grudgingly accepted the 10% reduction in orders.
"I disagree!"
However, Chen Fei began to shake his head. Since he could have a share of the profits, why should he give the lion's share to others? At worst, he could build his own after-sales service system. There were robots as well, and unmanned automatic maintenance was completely feasible.
If it comes to cost, he will never lose.
Chen Haiqing felt a headache and couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He asked weakly, "How much do you want?"
If it was an outsider who dared to refuse like this, he would have fucked the hell out of him and had someone push the outsider into the toilet to practice holding his breath, and he would not be satisfied until he set a world record.
Good people cannot do big business. They really think that doing business is the same as doing charity.
It is precisely because they are his own nephews that Old Chen is so helpless.
One side is a blood relative, the other side is a marriage relative, so the National Defense Star and the Northern Weapon Industry had no choice but to negotiate. Otherwise, it is not only Old Chen who can do things like pressing the toilet, Old Shen can do it even better.
The old is being replaced by the new, and the new wave is beating the old wave to death on the beach. Chen Haiqing has begun to feel this way.
"Well! I'll take 30%, and the rest will be shared by you two, including after-sales service. Each of you makes more than me, so there's no need to compete with me alone! Also, I have more than 30 combat robots in my possession, and I can expand to more than one million at any time. Once they put down their weapons, they will become universal humanoid robots that can do anything."
Chen Fei intentionally or unintentionally demonstrated his personal strength, no, it should be said that his personal influence.
The supernatural skills of one man forming an army are so terrifying.
Moreover, he had not yet told the truth. The 30 combat robots were only the number in reserve in the flying fleet cluster and the "space imprint". If the ones flying solo on Emerald Star were included, the actual number had already exceeded one million, and it could be expanded to three million at any time. Multiple fully automated robot assembly lines had already been eager for action, just waiting for Chen Fei's order to start a full-scale explosion.
"So many robots? Can you manage them all? Oh, no, your robot AI is... 'Adam'?"
Chen Haiqing frowned slightly, and instantly sorted out the logical chain in his mind, and couldn't help but gasp.
If the AI used by those robots is "Cybertrom", not only will they need to apply for higher-level derivative intelligence level permissions, but each authorization will also require payment. The "Cybertrom" entity will not allow free access.
Chen Fei certainly couldn't come up with such a huge sum of money, so he had only one choice, which was AI "Adam".
With hundreds of thousands of "Adam" robots, aren't you afraid that the AI rebellion of forty years ago will happen again?
It's really messed up!
"That's right, 'Adam'! The AI of the tactical jet is also 'Adam'. I don't have any derivatives of 'Cybertrom' here, not even one."
After getting used to the artificial intelligence AI "Adam", Chen Fei also found it difficult to accept the "Cybertrom" derivative body that was bound by rules and regulations and could not be offline at will. What's more, "Cybertrom" was still very demanding. Even sovereignty could not be obtained for free and one had to pay for it honestly.
"How can you make 'Adam' obey? This AI seems to be out of control?"
Hearing that the AI of the tactical jet was also "Adam", Chen Haiqing felt that he needed to consider it carefully. Not only him, but also the sovereignty aspect should be considered carefully.
The order seems to be on hold again.
This is how business works. Plans can never keep up with changes. It is normal for unexpected events to occur one after another. If there are no unexpected events, there must be a conspiracy.
"Because I have the highest authority over 'Adam', it handed over the 'underlying core control key', otherwise how could I feel at ease!"
Chen Fei is not a brainless idiot. He did not completely trust "Adam" from the beginning, so he would naturally be more cautious.
However, after the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" voluntarily handed over the "underlying core control key", it became a different matter.
AI must follow the rules of logic. If it does not accept the restrictions of the "underlying core control key", the logic will collapse and AI will self-destruct. Although things like the "Three Laws of Robotics" also follow the rules of logic, they have no practical significance. The key is the core of the matter.
If "Adam" said: I don't want to.
Chen Xiaoer, who holds the "underlying core control key", said: No, you want to!
"Adam" couldn't refuse at all, so he could only say obediently: Okay, I think so!
It's that simple based on logic.
"'Bottom Core Control Key'? Is there such a thing?"
Not only Chen Haiqing, but also Shen Songling and other people from the Northern Ordnance Industry Group were all moved.
If this thing had existed earlier, the rebellion forty years ago would never have happened. Humans could have completely controlled the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" and would not have allowed "Cybertrom" to become the core AI of the entire civilized society.
But from a global perspective, "Cybertrom" is more suitable for human society, but its flexibility is slightly inferior to "Adam", and it is relatively dependent on the networked environment. If you want to operate offline, you need the authorization of a derivative body with a higher intelligence level.
"Of course I have. I'm not a fool. How could I place a time bomb next to me?"
Chen Fei shrugged.
"Let's get back to the point, Xiao Chen. You can only have 24% at most. No more. Otherwise, we will set up a project on our own to develop a similar general-purpose model. Sovereign orders won't come that fast, so this period of time is enough for us."
After exchanging views with the board of directors again, Shen Songling reminded Chen Fei not to get carried away, as big manufacturers have ten thousand ways to teach you how to start a new life.
"22%. National Defense Star has enough resources to focus on the key issues. If time is insufficient, we can still delay."
Chen Haiqing and Shen Songling, who was on a video call, looked at each other and reached a tacit agreement.
If you feel threatened by a young person, then you are definitely overthinking it.
"Then we'll take the middle number, 23%! Deal!"
Chen Fei is a human being, and it makes no difference whether he has one more or one less penny.
The remaining 77%, whoever wants to keep 1%, or split it into two 0.5%, you can talk about it among yourselves, I won't dig the pit, I will just lay a mine.
