Chapter 400 Plan against Lockheed Aircraft Company Chapter 401(2/2)
Northrop is right, for an aircraft company, the most important thing is the aircraft, and the importance of the design drawings of the aircraft is much more important than those physical aircraft.
"Boss, 80% of the planes in Lockheed Aircraft Company are exclusive inventions by themselves, and their level is at the leading position in the United States. Other aircraft companies have sent people to find Lockheed many times, and some people who have asked for cooperation, and some who have used huge amounts of funds to buy design drawings, but in the end they were rejected by Lockheed. Lockheed had the ambition to develop Lockheed Aircraft Company into the overlord of the American aircraft company, so these drawings are worthless for him. If we get these drawings, then his life will be in our hands." Northrop nodded at me.
"But I don't understand one problem." I looked at Northrop and said: "These designs were invented by Lockheed with great difficulty and were patents. Even if we got the drawings, it would be useless. As long as an aircraft is manufactured according to the drawings, Lockheed can immediately sue it, and the drawings will become a piece of waste paper."
Northrop laughed and said proudly: "Boss, you're right. If all these designs are patented, we may have a lot of trouble, but fortunately, Lockheed hasn't applied for a patent at all."
"No patent application!? Why!?" I was stunned for a moment.
This guy is stupid. Why don’t he apply for a patent after he has worked hard to study the results.
Northrop shrugged and said, "The reason why Lockheed did not apply for a patent is related to something that happened when he just started a company. At that time, the total number of aircraft in the United States was only 50. Lockheed paid a lot of money to recruit a group of designers. After working overtime, he designed a new model. Then he immediately took the design drawings to apply for a patent. However, after a while, the Patent Office rejected his patent application and said that someone had applied for a patent for this technology."
"No, this guy is too careless." Gans smacked his lips and said regretfully.
Northrop shook his head: "It's not that he is lucky, but that the boss of an aircraft company in New York had already taken a fancy to the aircraft designed by Lockheed. He colluded with the people from the Patent Office to secretly imitate the drawing, and then applied for a patent first."
"This boss is also damaged enough." I smiled and shook my head.
Northrop sighed, "Since then, Lockheed has not been good to the Patent Office."
Once the new aircraft model is designed successfully, he will store the drawings in a dense place. In this way, only he and his confidants know this technology. Then they are producing aircraft through assembly lines, which others cannot copy. Through this method, Lockheed Aircraft Company has never encountered any new aircraft model in China and is being hacked by others. This practice has continued to this day. Therefore, as long as we get those drawings, we don’t need to worry about how Lockheed can do us.”
"Okay, this idea is good!" Lian Yassel finally applauded.
"Northrop, do you know where these drawings are collected? And even if you know them, these drawings will definitely be kept strictly. If we want to get them, it will be difficult. Besides, we don't have much time left." My series of questions made Yassel and others who were still happy just now look dark.
Northrop sighed and said, "Boss, I naturally know the place where I collect the drawings, which is Lebang Insurance, the largest insurance company in Los Angeles."
"Lebang Insurance Company!? The insurance company run by the Swiss!?" Gans still clearly.
"Yes." Northrop nodded.
"Boss, that insurance company is famous for observing professional ethics. Swiss people are very stubborn in this regard. Even if you put a gun on their heads, they will not open the customer's safe for you. Moreover, the insurance company's vault is built underground with six floors. There are many parking spaces in it. If you are not from the company, it is impossible to enter. Even if you go in, you still have to face a thick and sturdy safe. That kind of safe is the most advanced safe in the world. It is extremely difficult to open it." Gans looked disappointed.
"Northrop, do you have a way to go into Lebang Insurance Company and get those drawings out?" I asked in a low voice.
Northrop shook his head.
"Northrop, aren't you a bitch teasing us? If you can't get it out, can we do it?" Stiller began to curse.
Just like a man who was about to die of thirst in the desert, suddenly saw an oasis in front of him, running over with hope, but found that it was just a mirage. Who can stand such a blow?!
"Andre, do you want me to send someone in to test it?" The second brother lit a cigarette without saying a word.
"Just just now, Gans said that the place is tightly defended. It is impossible if it weren't for people inside the company. It would be a trivial matter for the person you sent to be arrested. If it's a big deal, it will be even more difficult for us." I shook my head and rejected my second brother's proposal.
"Northrop, is there really no other way?" I asked in a deep voice.
Northrop lowered his head and thought for a moment, saying, "Maybe there is a way to try it. The government will come to Lebang Insurance Company on the grounds of security inspection and then open the safe and take the opportunity to take the design drawings inside on the film to bring it out. However, this approach has two disadvantages. One is that the government must have sufficient reasons to enter, and the other is that we have no one responsible for security defense in the government."
When Northrop said this, I laughed: "Yes, we have a big one."
"Big?" My second brother turned his face and looked at me, then immediately started to laugh.
"Boss, what do you mean is to let Pang Mao go!?" Gans understood what I mean.
I smiled and nodded: "He is the mayor of Los Angeles. He must have a way to enter the interior of Lebang Insurance Company. Gans, you and your second brother will go there in person and take action with Pang Mao. After entering the vault, the second brother, the task of starting the vault and taking photos will be handed over to your subordinates. Can it be completed?"
The second brother laughed and said, "This is no problem. The good guys who open safes are caught in the Burbank Party."
"That's good, no further action." I waved to my second brother and Gans, and the two of them got up and left the lounge and went out of the back door of the cinema to do business.
The rest of the people in the room were waiting anxiously.
The cocktail party outside was over, and the cinema was silent. Everyone kept looking at the watch and prayed for their second brother and the others.
After waiting for nearly two hours, the sound of the car shutting off from the back door, the second brother and Gans flashed and walked in.
"Have you succeeded?" I asked in a trembling voice.
The second brother and Gans looked at each other, laughed, and then put a few tubes of film and a stack of photos on the table.
"Success!?" Gans and others were overjoyed.
My second brother wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down, saying to me, "Andre, Pang Mao, this kid is indeed a good move. He sent someone to tell Lebang Insurance Company's energy. He said that the Los Angeles Police Department found that someone had deposited a batch of bombs at Lebang Insurance Company to steal some customers' things in the insurance company. The energy code took us into the underground vault. Our people opened the Lockheed safe in more than ten minutes. Here, the things are all here."
My second brother pointed to the film and photos on the table. I took it to my hand and observed it carefully. It turned out to be some design drawings.
"Gans, call Lockheed and say I'll ask him to drink at the Imperial Hotel in an hour." I put the photos in my pocket and showed a smirk.
"Boss. It's so late, do you want to be tomorrow?" Gans said stumbledly.
"Do you think I can sleep with these photos?! Instead of not being able to sleep, it's better to find Lockheed to drink." I shrugged.
After Gans called, we left the First Cinema and drove to the Imperial Hotel. Northrop was no longer suitable for appearing again, so I went back, and I only brought my second brother and Yassel.
When we arrived at the Imperial Hotel, just after twelve o'clock, we opened a private room on the fourth floor and waited patiently for Lockheed's arrival.
"Andre. Do you have something to talk to others?" Natalia pulled me out of the door and asked in a low voice.
I nodded and said, "Yes, you ask someone to wait at the hotel door. If you see Lockheed, bring him here from a secret place."
Seeing that I was solemn, Natalia knew it was important. She didn't ask any more questions and turned around to do things.
After returning to the room and waiting for about ten minutes, Lockheed appeared at the door.
"Do it quickly, I'll find you so late, I won't disturb your dreams." Looking at Lockheed with fluffy eyes, I stood up and shook hands with him.
Lockheed saw the room
There were three of us, and we couldn't help but be stunned. We walked down without any hesitation, and said: "Andre, didn't Gans say you had something to discuss with me? Why are you three? You have to call Northrop and your big helper. How easy it is to do things. Hahaha."
Lockheed is a smart man. From the moment Gans called him, I probably knew my intentions. He also knew that I came to him in the middle of the night, for the sake of Rockefeller's consortium. Seeing that my hard-working tricks made me invite him over in the middle of the night, this guy couldn't help but feel proud and sat on the sofa, almost fucked.
"Sometimes, if things are solved, maybe one or two people are enough. Haha, this is the best wine in the Empire Hotel, you can try it." I personally poured a glass of wine for Lockheed and delivered it to him.
Seeing that I was so attentive, Lockheed became more and more proud. He took the cup and took a sip, smacked his lips and put the cup aside, and said to me with his chin raised his chin, "Andre, you pulled me over from the bed in the middle of the night, it's just for a drink."
I smiled slightly and said, "This is right. I'll come to you today and I'll really have something to discuss with you."
Lockheed shook his head and said, "Tell me, as long as it is reasonable, I will consider it."
Seeing Lockheed so little, the second brother couldn't help but clench his fists.
I coughed, calmed down my second brother, and said quietly: "Lockheed, it would be a pity that you don't come if you don't come."
Lockheed spread his hands and said, "I want to go too, but there are too many things on hand. I heard that this movie is good. There is no collapse in the premiere, right?"
"You!" Yassel was also a little impatient.
I smiled and said, "I want to collapse, but the audience didn't agree. With them carrying them down there, I don't think it would collapse. But today at the premiere, I saw someone who said hello to me. I think since you asked me, I have to reply to you, so I found you."
Lockheed was slightly stunned, and a smug expression on his face went a little, and said, "Who?"
"Drari O'Neal." I lowered my head and picked up the cup full of red wine, and shook it gently.
When Lockheed heard the name of Drari O'Neal, his expression showed a hint of unnaturalness, but immediately returned to normal, and forced a smile at me, "Yes, this guy O'Neal is troublesome."
I said in a deep voice: "I don't think Mr. O'Neal is as simple as it is troublesome. He also invited me to a cocktail party, which is located in this Imperial Hotel. It is the 26th time, and he will give you the opportunity to attend."
Having said that, I have already made clear to Lockheed's purpose.
Lockheed stopped covering up and stared at me and smiled: "Yes, I negotiated with Rockefeller Consortium. They are very interested in financing. I hold 60% of the shares of Lockheed Aircraft Company and enjoy the right to decide. Even if I directly agree to them for financing, it is completely okay. The reason why I inform you is that I respect you."
Lockheed looked at me like a grinning hound with a arrogant attitude.
For a long time, he was afraid that I would swallow his Lockheed Aircraft Company, so he was humble when he treated me. Now he took the initiative and naturally he was free and unrestrained.
"So, you will definitely agree to Rockefeller's financing?" My face suddenly sank.
Lockheed lay on the sofa and laughed: "Yes, if there is no big problem, this matter is already for sure."
"Is there no room for maneuver?" I said quietly.
"Yes, unless you give up the agreement to continue to add capital." Lockheed was very straightforward.
"What if I don't agree?" I walked to Lockheed with my glass, and smiled close to his face.
Lockheed was shivering by my smile. In his eyes, my smile seemed to make him feel very heartbroken.
"If you don't agree, then I just need to work with the Rockefeller Consortium." Lockheed said with courage.
I sat down next to him, pointing to the blood-red wine in the cup and said, "Lockheed, do you know why I like this wine?"
"How did I know?" Lockheed didn't look at me directly.
I let out a long breath and said, "Because the color of this wine is so similar to blood. When I drink it, I feel a sense of satisfaction after killing."
"So you are a very ambitious person." Lockheed said word by word.
I nodded, "You are right. I am an ambitious person, and so are you, and so are the heads of the Rockefeller Consortium. It is a good thing to have ambition, but you can tell the situation around you, otherwise you will be arrogant. Do you understand what I say?"
Lockheed rolled his eyes and ignored me.
"I don't tell you, you know that if you promise them to raise funds, there will be only one fate waiting for you in the end, that is, you will be swallowed up." I said slowly.
"But if I don't cooperate with them, I will be swallowed by you!" Lockheed looked at me and roared.
"It's different. If you are swallowed by the Rockefeller Consortium, they will slowly squeeze you out, and in the end you will end up in poverty, but if you work with us, you will also see Northrop's success." I turned around and stared at Lockheed.
Lockheed was stunned for a moment, obviously moved by my words, but immediately became firm: "No matter how you say it, it's useless."
Looking at Lockheed who was stubborn in front of me, I shrugged and smiled.
Chapter completed!
