218. Should Pioneer also change its name?
Just as the reporter's question, although Chen Chen has always promised not to get involved in weapons manufacturing, in today's world, is such a promise a bit credible? Let's take a step back, even if Chen Chen said that he would not get involved in weapons manufacturing, he could participate in weapons manufacturing in other ways, such as investing money, providing technology, or participating in the development of core components.
Either way, Grumman and Pioneer join forces, is this a terrible thing?
Thinking of this, Vincent, Antonio, Benedict, Thomas and others suddenly became nervous again.
"Well, you reminded me when you said that." Chen Chen blinked and looked at a group of reporters meaningfully: "I didn't think of this before. After you reminded me, I remembered that if it was just providing funds or chip technology, it would not seem to be a violation of my promise. Well, it is worth considering."
As soon as these words came out, a group of reporters present were amused and crying, and they really wanted to rush up and castrate the boy.
What does it mean to "remind us"? This is obviously something that you have thought of, and you have pretended to be hypocritical, as if we instigated you to do this.
But these reporters couldn't say anything refuted, and they did raise this question on their own initiative. Chen Chen's answer made them a little confused. Is he planning to cooperate with Grumman?
Seeing that he couldn't speak, the reporters obviously wouldn't be willing to do so. He immediately changed his mind and targeted Clarence: "You have heard Mr. Clarence. Mr. Chen just said that he didn't mind providing funds or chip technology to cooperate without violating his promises. So does Grumman have this intention? Do you want the pioneer company to join?"
As soon as this question came out, everyone stared at Clarence and waited for his answer.
As Clarence, his face looked a little ugly at this moment.
These reporters are worthy of being reporters, and this question is too toxic!
How to answer? If the answer is not hoped, it is undoubtedly an claim that Grumman plans to develop exclusively. If Chen Chen participates in the future, isn’t this a slap in his own mouth; and if the answer is hoped, does it mean that he admits it?
It seems that no answer is very wonderful.
However, Clarence is also a personal genius. His eyes rolled and he replied with a smile: "Pilot Company is a company with great technical strength. Of course, we hope to cooperate. Northrop Grumman hopes to cooperate with any company with technical strength. However, cooperation is two-sided. We hope it is useless, it depends on Mr. Chen's intention."
So everyone's eyes turned to Chen Chen again.
Chen Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart, this old guy really knows how to beat the ball and kick it directly to me, but I'm not a vegetarian. Don't you guys want the answer? I'll give you the answer!
After making up his mind, Chen Chen couldn't help but have a wicked smile on his lips, and he looked around easily: "Haha, it seems. Everyone hopes that the pioneer company will cooperate with Grumman. I want to hear everyone's wishes. Do you think we should cooperate?"
I'll go!
This sentence directly caused a group of people to almost fall to the ground. This guy kicked the ball and hit a group of reporters.
Whether to cooperate or not is the decision of you two, what does it have to do with these reporters?
"Actually, Mr. Clarence and I haven't seen each other twice. I didn't expect cooperation before." Chen Chen smiled relaxedly and looked at Clarence: "However, since everyone seems to want our two companies to cooperate, I think this is also a good thing. Then I will formally propose a cooperation invitation to Mr. Clarence in the name of the pioneer company. I wonder what Mr. Clarence wants?"
"This reminds me." Clarence also showed a playful smile and looked helpless: "Public opinion cannot be violated. Since everyone hopes that we can cooperate, I dare not refuse to agree. Then after that, we two will start discussing the details of the cooperation."
A group of reporters was speechless. You wanted to cooperate, right? It was so bad that we had to say what we hoped and forced all of this to us!
But after thinking about it, the news was dug out. On one side was Lockheed Gats and Boeing Gatsiertara Consortium and on the other side was Northrop Grummanga Pioneer. Now there is a good show.
At this moment, the goal shifted to Antonio, Benedict, and Thomas.
"Mr. Antonio, Mr. Benedict, Mr. Thomas." A group of reporters who were afraid that the world would not let go without provoking a war, and began to stir up the flames again: "Mr. Clarence and Mr. Chen expressed their intention to cooperate just now. Does this mean that the competitive pressure is greater for you?"
Antonio and Benedict are both scheming and naturally will not be fooled. The answer is clear: "No matter who the opponent is, Lockheed and Boeing have competitive pressure, we will do our best. The final result is left for time."
But this answer obviously made Thomas feel dissatisfied. At this time, it is necessary to build momentum. How can you be so polite to your competitors? You must put some pressure on them. You glanced at Clarence and Chen Chen contemptuously and replied proudly: "Falcon will become a product that leads the world for twenty years. Falcon will be the overlord of the air in the future and will be invincible. No matter who the opponent is, you must not win."
After these words, the scene was in an uproar, and a group of reporters were so excited that their faces were filled with joy.
Vinson, Antonio, Benedict and others shook their heads helplessly and sighed. Thomas was so impulsive. How could such words be said in such sincerity?
The reporter didn't care about this and asked Chen Chen again: "Mr. Chen, I heard that in the previous competition with the Siertara Consortium, you finally laughed to the end and acquired Nokia. Now Mr. Thomas has absolute confidence that he can defeat you and Grumman in the competition for drones. Do you have any opinions on this?"
"Oh, I don't have any opinions." Chen Chen would not be fooled and replied with a relaxed smile: "Mr. Thomas's confidence is understandable. Their technical strength is indeed very strong. For me personally, all I need to do is do my best."
"Try your best?" Hearing Chen Chen's answer, Thomas thought he had no confidence, and now he was even more confident, saying as if he was sending out some kind of declaration: "I remember Mr. Chen once said that the Pioneer Company should become a pioneer of technology, a pioneer of mankind, and a pioneer of the world. Now it seems that this is a bit arrogant. To do this, you must have the technology that is ten or twenty years ahead of the world, otherwise you will not be qualified to call this name. It seems that the Pioneer Company should also change its name. But Falcon has this qualification, so it is better to transfer this name to me."
Chen Chen didn't want to speak too explicitly in front of a group of reporters, but Thomas's face really made him feel angry.
Do you like to show off, right? Don’t you know the higher you climb, the more painful it will be? Since you like to climb that high, just let you climb a little higher!
At this moment, his eyes gradually narrowed and he responded coldly: "Mr. Thomas, do you want the name of pioneer company? You have to take it firmly. This name is very burdensome, and I am worried that you can't take it."
"If I can't even take it, aren't you even more unable to take it?" Thomas was thinking about how to suppress Chen Chen. At this moment, seeing Chen Chen starts to fight back, he blurted out without hesitation: "Don't think that cooperation with Grumman is great. I haven't taken you seriously yet, wait for defeat!"
After these words, everyone present changed their expressions.
This is a bit of a strong smell of gunpowder.
No matter how confident you are, after all, you are all colleagues and seniors present. As the saying goes, if you look up and see each other, you will still be in this circle, so you can save some face for others, which is also a way out for yourself.
The strong team joined forces to sign up for the group and held advanced technology, but this does not mean that you can be arrogant.
Clarence and Victor's faces darkened, and looked at Thomas with cold eyes and sneered.
Even Antonio and Benedict looked a little bad. They secretly gave Clarence and Victor an apology look, saying that this was not what they meant, but Thomas' personal behavior.
At this moment, they even began to regret that they should not accept Siertara's capital injection and should not cooperate with guys like Thomas.
Noting the eyes of Antonio and Benedict, Clarence and Victor suppressed their anger and slowly calmed down their faces. Forget it, they were just a boy who was ignorant of the world. There would be opportunities to teach him a lesson in the future.
Relatively speaking, the happiest group of reporters were the ones who finally picked up the verbal battle and had to write after going back.
"Lockheed's fourth shareholder claims Falcon invincible", "The Pioneer Company is not qualified? The name is lost to others", "Thomas claims not to take Grumman and the Pioneer seriously"!
These titles are exciting to think about.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was a bit solemn and the smell of gunpowder was a bit strong. At this time, it was Vincent's turn to come out to rescue the situation. He cleared his throat and smiled faintly and said, "It seems that everyone is very confident. This is the best. I believe they will come up with satisfactory results. Okay, I should go to Lockheed and Boeing to take a look."
As he said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this scene, Antonio and Benedict naturally knew that this was to step down for everyone. They smiled faintly and said, "Then, let us accompany General Vincent."
As he said that, he secretly gave Clarence and Victor an apology look again, and then followed Vinson away.
Chapter completed!
