Chapter 796: 796 lower-level foundry
Chapter 796796 Subordinate OEM
Of course it doesn’t mean that no one wants it for free. In fact, if it is given for free, there must be a large group of people who want it regardless of their own safety. It is a pity that those who are rushing to control the Cyric Consortium are not qualified to control Cyric.
But Tang Mo really is one of the few people who may not necessarily want Cyric. He doesn't really lack that thing now, and it's not too late to digest the victory in his hands.
First of all, Tang State hopes to build the southern oil field as soon as possible and help Chu State develop their oil field resources in order to increase its production capacity to a satisfactory level.
This is not a small project. It is just an investment in oil field facilities, and it is estimated that it will take more than 6 months to build. Including pipelines, transportation roads and ports, the amount of work may be even greater.
In addition, Tang State also needs to build Fengjiang City as promised, and at the same time restore the well-known areas such as Wangchun City, Tengyun, and Nanfengkou to normal infrastructure levels.
The water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of Chu State and the dams along the rivers must seize the time to make up for the damage after the flood disaster.
The sum of these things is already a big project. In addition, the country's construction plans that were disrupted by the war also need to be restored. This series of construction projects will be enough to last the Tang Dynasty for a year at least.
If the Tang State continues to develop, build more roads, build more factories, and inject more manpower and material resources into the country's technology, it will take more time.
So Tang Mo is unlikely to invest a lot of talent in managing Cyric's mess, and his control over Cyric is unlikely to be strengthened at all.
With so many problems in mind, Tang Mo is unlikely to give up or slow down his own development and play a real or fake game with Cyric.
However, if Cyric is really willing to come forward and give Tang Mo a lot of discounts, and is even willing to give Tang Mo shares for free, then Tang Mo wouldn't mind giving them a little sweetener.
Anyway, after the war, the Datang Group has a lot more inferior weapons that cannot be sold. These weapons need to be disposed of, and it is not impossible to transfer the technology to Cyric.
For example, a large number of submachine guns produced by Datang Group are destined to be eliminated: the Thompson submachine gun is a weapon that is about to be eliminated.
Tang Jun has already begun to replace MP5 submachine guns, so the outdated Thomson had to start to be disposed of in large quantities.
This kind of weapon is obviously not suitable for the Tang Army to use by itself, because the workers have to be busy producing more new weapons, and the production line of this kind of weapon has been abandoned.
For another example, the performance of the 75mm caliber field gun that the Tang Army has been equipped with seems to be good, but the Tang Army itself is already quite dissatisfied with this weapon.
The support role of this weapon itself is often replaced by mortars and assault guns. It needs to be towed by a truck and is inconvenient to use.
The only specific use environment is mountain combat, but mountain combat is not common. Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate to retain a large number of heavy infantry guns.
The Tang Army is preparing to eliminate a large number of traditional infantry artillery and replace them with artillery of other types. However, there are a lot of such weapons in the Tang Army, and there are also many production lines and artillery shell production lines, which need to be dealt with.
In addition, after this war, navies of various countries are in urgent need of a large amount of anti-submarine equipment, and battleships also need to strengthen their underwater parts to deal with the increasingly serious torpedo crisis.
Datang Group still has many drawings of new battleships here, and they need to seize the opportunity to sell them quickly so that the navies of various countries can quickly build a few more new battleships.
This itself is a big pit, but if countries can jump in, they can make a lot of money. Therefore, Cyric's idle shipyard and the desire of various navies to build new warships are very exciting.
If it can be guaranteed that more than a dozen battleships will be built together this year, then the navies of various countries will be unlikely to conduct any new things such as sea aircraft take-off and landing experiments in a short time.
Similarly, the Tang Army’s cloth tearing machine, the famous MG42 machine gun, is actually not a technologically advanced thing that cannot be copied.
After countries have suffered enough from general-purpose machine guns, they are all trying to develop similar weapons and equipment. It is only a matter of time before they are equipped with some light machine guns. Instead of waiting for the armies of various countries to bloom and have a bunch of light machine guns, it is better to use Cyric's production capacity to eat this cake first.
From Tang Mo's point of view, if he could make money with Cyric's directors, they wouldn't think twice.
We are all businessmen, and making money is definitely the most important thing. They have always been honest in this kind of thing, and they will only turn against Tang Mo after Tang Mo can no longer help them make money.
Coupled with pistols and various types of ammunition, Tang Mo can make a lot of money by just looking for it in his trash can. It is precisely because this rotten ship of Cyric does still have three thousand nails, so Tang Mo is so patient to listen to what Cyric's representative has to say, and he has the leisure to talk to Cyric's representative here. Chatty.
As expected, the other party was also a shrewd man. After a brief moment of astonishment, he immediately grasped this point. He looked at Tang Mo, still holding the handkerchief he had just used to wipe his sweat in his hand: "Then, Your Majesty, how can I make you...accept it?" What about our request?"
Tang Mo held out a finger: "First of all, I need control of Cyric! This power is not given by you, but something I must hold in my hand. No one can take it away..."
"This is difficult... You have to understand that Cyric's alliance is based on power and wealth. It is obviously unrealistic to ask everyone to hand over their power and wealth." The other party immediately shook his head.
"A group of shady people behind the scenes! What kind of power are you talking about..." Tang Mo mocked, then stretched out a second finger and continued: "Secondly, I will not use money to buy Cyric's shares! I Only use technology to invest... As for what kind of technology to buy, I have the final say! Anyway, as long as it can make Cyric continue to make money, you have no reason to have any objection, right?"
"This, I can't promise you directly. I need to go back and contact the directors... before I can reply to you." The representative did not expect that Tang Mo would offer such a condition, and he felt a little uncomfortable again.
As a businessman, he probably guessed what Tang Mo meant: he wanted Cyric's huge production capacity, but he was not prepared to give Cyric the technology to compete with Datang Group.
In other words, in Tang Mo’s plan, Cyric will become the second-tier foundry of Datang Group. It will definitely make money, but it will always have to be low-key and small.
Under this shackles, Cyric can only produce backward weapons and equipment and become a subsidiary of Datang Group. Maybe these directors and shareholders of Cyric, who used to be all-powerful and "meat-eating" in the past, will become a group of clowns who are even afraid of "eating soup" in the future.
How many people would endure such a change? How many people are willing to endure the threat of being kicked out of the car by Tang Mo at any time and not even being able to drink soup after losing everything?
"It doesn't matter, we have a lot of time, we can wait slowly." Tang Mo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
He has a lot of time. Anyway, he won't be able to continue to expand within a year. Today's Tang country is extremely vast, and Tang Mo can do whatever he wants on his own land.
But on the other hand, Cyric's side is different. Every day of delay, their situation may become more passive.
Therefore, Cyric's representative could not delay time. He immediately said: "Your Majesty! We really come here with full sincerity this time! Please consider our proposal. Cooperation can indeed help us all get more benefits." What a benefit!”
"I understand what you said, but I have put forward conditions, which has proven my sincerity. You should go back and discuss with the directors carefully to see if they agree with my conditions." Tang Mo said from Weiss He took the wine glass in his hand and raised it towards the Cyric representative.
This obviously means seeing off guests. Weiss then walked over and made a gesture of invitation.
The other party also knew that staying here was of no use, so he stood up slightly awkwardly, bowed to Tang Mo, and was escorted out of the door by Weiss.
Even though Cyric's directors gave him a lot of power as a representative before coming here, there are still some things that he can't make the decision. He wants to go back and send a telegram to these directors to confirm the next step of negotiation.
Everyone needs to be convinced, and every condition needs to be considered over and over again. In short, the amount of funds involved in this negotiation is too large for those involved to be careless.
"I heard that the bartender has returned from Fengjiang. Go find him. I have something to ask him to do." Tang Mo told Weiss who returned.
Wes nodded and walked out of the room to find the phone again.
Tang Mo was thinking about how to use the Cyric Consortium safely and effectively to squeeze out the remaining value of the other party, so that its corpse could become the nourishment for Datang Group's ascension.
The bartender who was supposed to report the special forces' action plan to Tang Mo today quickly came to Tang Mo's reception room. What he didn't expect was that Tang Mo would give him a new task before listening to the report.
"Let someone investigate! If it's profitable, it's not impossible to use Cyric." Tang Mo stood by the window, overlooking the representatives of Cyric who were leaving, and ordered the bartender who came behind him He said: "Let's investigate with the military intelligence department and try to get the results out as soon as possible."
"Yes! Your Majesty! We will immediately launch an investigation to see how much... remains of Cyric." The bartender nodded slightly, and then exited Tang Mo's room.
