Chapter 191 Conditions that cannot be rejected
“Mr. Rebir, in fact, regarding the acquisition you proposed, I am mainly unsure about our studio. I am worried that our current strength cannot satisfy your requirements. Demand."
In the slightly shabby reception room of Trident Studio, Eugene Koch rubbed his hands with some fear.
It is not so much a reception room as it is a hall where the clutter has been temporarily cleared and tables and chairs have been placed.
“You have also seen the current business scope and scale of our studio. It is mainly engaged in the business of modifying parts. There are only a dozen employees and only five integrated processing machine tools, so we The shipment volume on weekdays is not that large.”
Eugene Koch pointed to some employees and machine tools working in the glass wall at the back of the hall.
Following the direction he pointed, Amber stood up and walked over.
The employees in the workshop are all older. Judging from the traces of wounds and prosthetics left on their bodies, they are basically veterans.
Although the Federation has not experienced any major wars in the past few decades, small-scale counterinsurgency and local wars still occur from time to time.
This has also resulted in a large number of disabled people among the veterans who have retired from the army.
These veterans of Trident Studios are lucky because they have a place where they can work and support themselves.
But more veterans are still struggling to make ends meet.
Especially those veterans stationed in other galaxies, when they returned home from the army, everything changed.
In the end, many people died of starvation and illness because they were unable to integrate into society.
And the five integrated processing machine tools are almost 20 years old, and their comprehensive performance has long been Lagging behind today's new machine tools.
But even in this environment, Trident Studio's orders for individual equipment modification parts have basically never stopped.
And most of them are repeat customers.
Although the shipping efficiency of the studio is slow, insufficient manpower and backward machines are only one of the reasons.
What’s more important is that Eugene Koch has extremely strict requirements for product quality.
Other studios more or less allow some defects in the products. After all, they are small workshops, so they are not shabby.
But Eugene Koch was different.
Every product produced by Trident Studio, even if there is a flaw on a section of the guide rail, will be directly turned into scrap and then redone.
This almost paranoid business philosophy, in Amber's opinion, is probably the reason why this old man Eugene hasn't made any big money in so many years.
But precisely because of this, Trident Studio's products have an excellent reputation among some small circles of active military personnel and PMC mercenaries.
In addition, their prices are not exorbitantly expensive, and they are truly high-quality and low-priced, so there is almost no interruption in orders.
Hmm. I just didn’t make much money.
While Amber was observing the situation in the studio workshop, Eugene Koch also continued:
“Mr. Rebel, although I have published a lot of information on some design websites, The design sketches of the exoskeleton system, but in fact, are still in the design stage. Neither manpower nor material resources can support our studio to develop the exoskeleton system."
"So I am here to solve it. This question."
Amber, who had been watching the production in the workshop, turned around, looked at Eugene Koch and said:
"Excellent gifts and talents should not be buried because of lack of money."
Hearing this, Eugene Koch was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Mr. Rebel, you mean that by acquiring our studio, you actually want to support our research and development?" "That's more or less what you mean."
Amber made a gesture of invitation and gestured for Eugene to sit on the chair and chat in detail.
This 'craftsman' who had never engaged in business negotiations did not realize that he had lost the initiative, so he followed Amber's gesture and sat back.
"Mr. Eugene, based on my understanding of your products, I know that your studio is a studio that pays great attention to quality. This coincides with me. I have always thought that these are used on the battlefield. The things I use must be of decent quality. I don’t want my soldiers to lose their lives in battle because of the quality of weapons and equipment.”
“You are right, our studio. Wait, you just said about your soldiers?”
Yugin was just about to echo a few words, but suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the content of his words.
“Oh~ you are very perceptive, Mr. Eugene.”
Amber had a smile on his face, hiding his "scheming succeeded" expression, and then continued:
"Haha. I forgot to tell you, my subordinate is actually a private military company with its own fleet, marines and HCP forces."
"Then why do you want to acquire our studio? I always thought that your company should also manufacture weapons and equipment."
"Because I want to self-research and customize relevant land warfare equipment for my troops, and I hope to have an industrial chain under my control, so that I will not be restricted under special circumstances."
Eugene nodded. He probably understood what Amber meant, and at the same time he did have some interest.
Because if this is the case, Trident Studio's business cannot only produce modified parts for weapons and equipment.
Instead, they met to start research and development of all individual combat equipment.
After noticing that Eugene was already thinking, Amber immediately started striking while the iron was hot.
“Remember what I told you, Mr. Eugene will definitely not be able to refuse the conditions I proposed?
First, after completing the acquisition, I will fund a small-scale development of your studio. The industrial upgrading will allow you to not only produce small modification parts, but also have the hardware conditions to produce and develop individual equipment and exoskeletons”
Eugene's body immediately sat up straight.
“Second, the mercenaries under my command will become the best experimental force for your studio, and this force also includes elites who have retired from the federal army and have rich practical experience.
From now on, the individual equipment produced by Trident will be tested in actual combat as quickly as possible and receive feedback from front-line troops to help you continuously optimize the products."
Eugene's breathing began. Becoming a little hasty.
"Third, Mr. Eugene may not know yet, but the main force of the Marine Corps under our company is actually Roma from the Thousand Stars Empire. Yes, those legendary 'orcs', they His body is tall and powerful, and his physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary humans. He is a natural killing machine
And you, Mr. Eugene. You are very likely to be the first person in history to customize combat equipment for the Roma people. "
Eugene held the armrests of the chair tightly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"What I said above only depends on one thing, that It is whether Mr. Eugene accepts my acquisition of Trident Studios. "
After saying this in one breath, Amber relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair, quietly waiting for Eugene Koch's reply.
Eugene took a few deep breaths Breathe to calm down.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at Amber and asked the most critical question.
"Mr. Rebel, so many excellent conditions really make me very excited. So I only have one last question now, which is what exactly does our studio need to do for you after you acquire our Trident?" ?”
