Chapter 359 Who taught He adults the big picture?

Two days later, on August 12nd.

The Blackstone Investment Group, which is actually controlled by the Rothschild family, spent $276 billion to acquire a 45% stake in the world-renowned camera manufacturer Leica from Germany.

Since Leica has already been listed, this means that Blackstone Investment has become a major shareholder of Leica and controls Leica Geosystems AG and Leica Microsystems.

Become the second company in the world that can independently produce cameras, microscopes, and geological exploration equipment.

When Xu Fei, the director of the Iron Sheet Company, heard the news, he kicked over his desk and scolded Foreman for ruining his carefully planned smartphone monopoly plan and losing trillions of dollars.

At present, Germany's Carl Zeiss supplies 90% of the world's high-end lenses, plus technology licensing, which is equivalent to monopolizing the lens industry.

The remaining 10% of high-end fine films are divided among companies such as Leica of Germany, Hasselblad of Sweden, Canon/Nikon/Toshiba/Omron of Wajima.

If Carl Zeiss cuts off the supply of high-end lenses and then cancels the technology authorization, all walks of life around the world will be hit hard.

According to relevant personnel from the German North Lab, in the smartphone monopoly plan planned by Xu Dagong, the camera is an indispensable module for future mobile micro-terminal devices.

Moreover, the mobile micro-camera is very different from the current digital camera, not only requires a micro-lens, but also requires a new production process and an automatic control module.

In this way, the mobile phone manufacturers supported by the Daze Industrial Consortium can completely rely on Zeiss + Kodak + iron sheet foundry capabilities to create superior camera modules, complete suppression of non-cooperative manufacturers, and then win the entire smartphone market.

But now, the business overlaps with that of Zeiss, and the lens business has been abandoned for the time being. Leica, which has lens processing capabilities but has the ability to process lenses, has been taken over by Blackstone Investment. , Sony Ericsson and other mobile phone manufacturers have the opportunity to introduce camera modules.

It also enables camera manufacturers such as Hasselblad, Canon, Nikon, and Toshiba to have the foundation to enter the high-end lithography machine manufacturing industry after obtaining Leica's high-end lens and technology authorization.

How could Director Xu, who has been shopping in the commercial field, not be furious?

However, Foreman was also furious, because Leica's headquarters is in Frankfurt, which belongs to the eight states of Germany.

In other words, this is a German-led deal.

Relevant news spread throughout Germany through the North German TV station.

The people in the north of Germany are full of righteous indignation, and the people in the south of Germany are equally resentful amidst all kinds of accusations.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of Germany and the general manager declared at the same time that they were not aware of the transaction, and only found out about it when they saw the news.

For a while, it was confusing who sold Leica.

the other side.

The furious director Xu kicked over his desk and moved the office to the 'Hongqi Industrial Group'.

As the leading big brother of a central enterprise, the decoration specifications of Hongqi headquarters must be majestic and magnificent, and it can even be said to be unique.

Walking into the main entrance, a big red flag flutters in the wind, and the green plants on both sides are lush in the winter environment.

Various types of inspection cars and courtesy cars are lined up along the way, and the inner square is erected with inscriptions of many great men.

Step into the complex.

The front hall is simple and unpretentious, but dignified and solemn. When you are in it, you will feel a strong official atmosphere.

Walk into the factory secretary's office.

Mahogany furniture with mahogany bookcases, black leather chairs, and the background of five red flags on the left and five sickle flags on the right...

Xu Fei sat in the office, closed his eyes and felt for a long time, looked at two red, two white and two blue, six phones on the table, picked up one of the red landlines, and pressed the number.

"I'm Xu Fei, let your leaders come to my office."

Deputy secretary: "..."

"Oh, sorry, I'm just trying to see if I can get through as soon as possible."

"Director Xu, this is a military line, please don't use it casually."

"Yes, that's the case. I persuaded Foreman to add another four or five Tiberium-class destroyers to TEP University to train the crew. However, the East Factory and the West Factory cannot be accommodated, so it is better to put it on Hongqi Industry's side. .”

"no problem!"

"You can call the shots?"

"I can't call the shots, but I don't think there's any objection to that."

"Okay, please ask Nan Zhonghai to pay the transportation fee, management fee, maintenance fee, education surcharge, and labor service fee sharing, totaling 15 billion U.S. dollars."

"???"

"I know that the higher-ups asked North America to replace 700 billion U.S. debt, intending to exchange it into euros to repay the loan that I had previously dealt with. In fact, I am not at all anxious about this debt. We can pay it back slowly. After all, we are all on our own. , the most important thing now is that the international situation is complicated, and transporting Tiberium-class destroyers to Hongqi Industry is related to the training of seamen and the defense industry, and we must put the overall situation first!"

"..."

"Do you understand that the overall situation is the most important?"

"I understand, Director Xu, wait for me to pass the matter on to the deputy director."

"Well, also, the United Defense of North America has handed over the technology of Bradley M2/M3 and authorized the upgraded version of M3 technology. I have carefully studied the production process and found that removing the existing manufacturing equipment of Hongqi needs to be obtained from United Defense. , Iron Sheet Company, respectively, to introduce three sets of production lines and assembly lines, which will cost about 170 billion U.S. dollars.”

"so much?"

"Don't you look at what we got? The world's most advanced infantry fighting vehicle, or three models for different terrains, if not for our east factory and west factory, let alone production and assembly, I'm afraid we can't handle electrification equipment and fire control systems."

"Wait a moment, I will inform the deputy director."

"Well, wait for me to finish."

"and also?"

"Yeah, Hongqi Industry is a startup. Cars need to be upgraded and new models are launched. It just so happens that in the past year, the German North Laboratory has solved the 'flywheel battery', which is a big branch of future energy development. It can not only be used for Automobiles, ships, and aircraft can also be used in areas such as space shuttles, satellite space stations, and landings in extraterrestrial galaxies... You have to believe my vision, we must obtain authorization, including supercapacitors, and the total authorization fee for these two technologies About $310 billion."

"Director Xu, are you planning to take away the 700 billion U.S. debt?"

"No, look, with the help of the Daze Industrial Complex, General Motors is booming, TEP Motors is expanding globally, and the sales of Tinqi GM are skyrocketing, but Tieqi Automobile and Hongqi Automobile are like constipation, with annual sales of less than 10. Now we Joining the WTO, and getting most-favored-nation treatment in North America, maybe the next round of negotiations, we will open the auto market... You don't know, I have been preparing for this for two years, in order to launch the Hongqi brand in one fell swoop, and Electric energy is an excellent way for us to overtake on curves, so we must win the flywheel battery and super capacitor technology, we must put the overall situation first!"

"Director Xu, $515 billion is not a small matter, and the deputy director can't be the master. A board meeting is needed."

"Don't worry, there is one more thing..."

"..."

"Red Flag Industry was first started, and I thought, as the leading brother of a central enterprise, how can I show some real talents and knowledge, and I can't always use foreign companies' things, otherwise how can I convince the public? Therefore, I plan to introduce a variety of new materials to develop a new generation of fighters , temporarily named 'Red 1'."

"Director Xu, you know that the aerospace industry in the East is not as good as Germany's. Although you have created the rocket fighter-Black Hawk series based on toys, we smart women can't cook without rice."

"It's okay, with me, as long as the money is in place, nothing matters."

"..."

"Don't be silent all the time. Fighter planes involve air supremacy. Without air supremacy, it is equivalent to being powerless to fight back. We must put the overall situation first!"

"Tell me, how much money do you need?"

"The superior replaced 700 billion U.S. dollars from North America, and the previous projects needed 515 billion U.S. dollars... Let's count the foreign exchange that the People's Bank of China recently got, give me 200 billion U.S. dollars, and let's handle another 200 billion U.S. dollars in installments."

"We must put the overall situation first, do you understand?"

Xu Fei slapped the table angrily and roared loudly.

The deputy director's secretary almost cried, "Wait for me to tell the deputy director."

"Hurry up, time waits for no one, if you miss this operating window, you don't know if you will have another chance in the future."

"Director Xu, is there still a window for spending money?"

"Nonsense, these are things that can't be bought with money. It just so happened that Foreman and I had some conflicts because of the Blackstone Group's acquisition of Leica. He was anxious to please me. If I do something too much now, he will at most open his eyes." Turn a blind eye, you won't do anything to me... So, the above quotations are all internal prices!"

"..."

.........

Beijing.

Thanks to He-sama's intelligence system, the board of directors has temporarily figured out the international situation.

On the surface, it is Germany North VS North America, the European Union VS NATO group.

It's actually JP Morgan VS Rothschild.

Therefore, the Republican faction supported by Morgan allowed the German North Iron Crusaders to enter Mexico North as a backing for Texas.

However, the Republican faction was worried about attracting thieves into the house, so they had to open up a battlefield in West Asia and use the power of NATO to consume the strength of North Germany.

However, Harden's move was countered by Germany,

However, Harden's uncertain factor has bankrupted most of North America's plans. After losing the battle for the Aynak Copper Mine, and then losing to the Southern Tully Group, it is now somewhat difficult to ride a tiger.

So Boo's visit to the East, in the past week, promised many benefits.

For example, the third round of most-favored-nation negotiations can liberalize the auto industry and transfer certain engine technologies and electrification technologies to the East at low prices.

For example, if the U.S. debt held by the East reaches US$8000 billion, North America will consider transferring the Aynak Copper Mine to the East to block the corridors in the Afghan region.

Although North America admits that Germany won the Aynak Copper Mine, according to the original plan, when the plateau ice and snow melt, it will send a special operations team to attack Germany's mining area in the Aynak Copper Mine in the name of Harden, thereby forcing Germany to North retreat.

In order not to be "tit for tat" by Germany, North America decided to transfer the Aynak Copper Mine to the East, so that after a complete fallout with Germany, North America would use the East to sanction the Daze Industrial Complex.

The board of directors understood North America's plan without deliberation.

But after discussing for a long time, no pros and cons could be reached.

At this time.

The secretary of the deputy director sent several big gifts from director Xu.

It must be a good thing to transfer four or five Tiberium-class destroyers from Germany to train sailors at TEP University, and no one will refuse.

Transportation fees, management fees, maintenance fees, etc., 15 billion US dollars, must be paid.

The upgraded version of Bradley M2/M3/M3 is the bargaining chip for the first round of foreign trade and most-favored-nation agreement with North America. Once the technology is in hand, it will naturally be produced, and related equipment must also be purchased.

And flywheel batteries and supercapacitors...

Debei successfully landed on the moon, and electric energy will soon become the main development direction in the future. If you want to achieve cornering overtaking, you really should get technical authorization and then realize production.

310 billion US dollars to get everything done, it is simply a pie in the sky.

As for the 'Red 1' fighter plan...

At the beginning of December, with the help of intelligent robots, Master He obtained diplomas such as Doctor of Mechanical Engineering, Doctor of Physics, and Doctor of Integrated Mechanical Engineering from MIT, as well as certificates of electrical engineer and microelectronic engineer.

In addition, the world-renowned rocket fighters-Black Hawk series, vertical lift-peacekeeping bombers, unmanned remote control-shipborne drones, all developed by Mr. He.

Dongfang welcomes Master He's involvement in the aerospace industry.

But pay $200 billion and borrow another $200 billion...

The board of directors, which has been cheated by the daily interest rate for nearly two years, really does not want to worry about the high interest rate every day.

In other words, if we owe red banknotes, we can print them.

I owe a dollar, we have to earn it.

The problem is that almost all the ways to earn U.S. dollars are in the hands of adults. The East can only exchange resources from foreign companies for U.S. debt.

For U.S. debt, one is to find Iron Sheet Company, the other is to find TEP, the third is to find Goldman Sachs for investment, and the fourth is to find Wajima Softbank.

If you look for the Iron Sheet Company, the U.S. debt will definitely fall into the hands of Mr. He.

After looking for the last three, and messing around, the U.S. debt is also in the hands of Mr. He.

This is very hopeless.

What?Copied and adults?

I'm afraid it wasn't for the second general Guo Xu who wouldn't dare to have such an idea.

The deputy director thought for a long time, contacted the adults personally, and decided to postpone the 'Red 1' plan.

never thought...

"Leader, you are confused. Without air dominance, there is no right to speak. Why is the stalemate between Germany and North America? Isn't it because of air dominance? We must put the overall situation first!"

The East is facing the black technology of Germany, especially the opponent is only a corridor away from its own side, and facing the restart of Davis Mengshan Air Force Base in North America, showing various advanced weapons in the period of competition with Mao Xiong, the East is now bearing Pressure like never before.

He and the adults decided to break the situation and strengthen their own side, and no one had any reason to refuse.

The deputy director finally compromised and transferred 700 billion U.S. bonds, and then processed 200 billion in each installment of loans.

After the discussion was over, he hung up the phone, looked around at the high-level people participating in the meeting, and said in a muffled voice, "Who taught him the 'big picture'?!"

Everyone: "..."

.........

Hongqi Industry, the factory manager's office.

The 120-inch projector customized by the experiment is broadcasting the information provided by the intelligence system with 4 times the 1080p picture quality.

After North America restarted the Davis Mengshan base, the companies that received parts orders entrusted the orders to the Daze Industrial Complex. Since the total amount was only more than a billion yuan, they have already been delivered, and North America also repaired 200 C in the first place. The -5A strategic transport aircraft, fully loaded with weapons and supplies, flew directly to West Asia.

The German North Dog Head Army Division means that the flight speed of the C-5A is similar to that of Kirov after it is deformed, but the load capacity is only 130 tons. Our side can use super fishing nets to rob this batch of materials together with the aircraft.

Xu Fei was worried that North America was impatient and failed to agree to the plan.

After all, the two sides still maintain cooperation. In terms of the smartphone industry, the benefits of cooperation are greater than the benefits of turning faces.

Instead, search for intelligence about smartphones.

After the Blackstone Investment Group took down the Leica camera, they talked about orders and sold authorizations.

Nokia and Motorola will use Leica micro lenses in their next-generation models.

Japanese brands such as Sony and Sony Ericsson will use their own camera modules in their next-generation models.

For other brands, use Fuji/Canon/Nikon/Hasselblad respectively.

It can be said that the camera function of smartphones will soon become the biggest selling point.

"When the camera function is broken, let's make a game graphics card next."

"Micro-end integrated display, micro-end independent display..."

"Strange, in the future expansion pack, there is a design for an external baseband (signal module), why is there no design for an external graphics card?"

"Furthermore, dual card dual standby technology..."

"There are also three-dimensional remote sensing, various touch screens, automatic parking..."

Xu Fei took the small notebook that recorded important events, flipped through it for a long time, and then looked back for other information.

A 15-ton cargo ship of the Iron Skin Company was transporting rare earth mines from West Africa to North Germany. It accidentally hit a mine in Santa Cruz, western Morocco, and unfortunately sank. The investigation found that someone suspected it was intentional.

A 30-ton oil tanker of the Iron Sheet Company encountered a sneak attack in the Red Sea. Fortunately, the German North Second Fleet arrived in time and did not receive any losses.

The first-phase project of the "Crude Oil and Gas Dual Pipeline" across the Baltic Sea in Germany encountered an inexplicable attack. The opponent used the Ice Bear active torpedo.

"Ice Bear has no reason to do this, it must be North America."

Xu Fei knew that after the competition between Germany and North America was hidden, the two sides would definitely do some nasty things, but he was too busy to formulate a plan.

just now……

Xu Fei looked at Little Squid, "North America lost its peace armaments, and my family lost an intelligent robot, isn't that too much?"

"North America's lost peace arms, if detonated, have nothing to do with North America."

"My own intelligent robot ran out to do things, and it must have nothing to do with me."
