Chapter 116: Hearst Castle

"Thompson is a leather bag company, he does not have his own research and development organization." Hans said disdainfully.
"Oh?" Li Zitao looked up at him.
"BOSS, the man who made these weapons is the same company that made your python revolver." Hans said, pointing at the python revolver around his waist.
"Colt?" Li Zitao looked at the pistol in his waist unexpectedly.
"Yes, Thompson is just a shell company responsible for external sales. They don't even have their own weapons manufacturing plant, and all the factories are converted into warehouses."
"And they only have the Thompson gun in their name. Now, in peacetime, if they were not bought by the gang, they would have gone bankrupt."
"Since 26 years, the M1911A1 semi-automatic pistol equipped with the US military has also been produced by Colt, but Thompson holds the patent for the manufacture of Chicago printers."
Hearing that Colt was a potential arms dealer for the military, Li Zitao's eyes lit up and said, "How is the development of Colt? Is there any chance to acquire it?"
"It's difficult." As long as the division design was determined, S.H.I.E.L.D. began to pay attention to the light weapons factories on the market, which naturally included Colt, who was eye-catching in the pistol industry.
"Because the military is buying large quantities, Colt has sufficient cash flow." Hans said with regret.
"It doesn't matter, Ava, let the think tank contact them to see if there is any possibility of investing in cooperation. In addition, contact Thompson to buy the patent in their hands."
It is better for Colt to accept the acquisition. If you don’t accept it, you can choose to cooperate. It’s okay to be your own person.
It's all a family, yours is not mine, mine... or mine.
As for the Chicago typewriter, its performance is unquestionable, especially in close combat, it is a killer weapon.
Since the sales are so low in peacetime, Thompson should choose to let go as long as the price is right.
Others don't know, Li Zitao could not be more clear about the occurrence of World War II.
Didn’t see the little dwarf in the black government, to spread his party?
By the time the war came, with the powerful performance of the Chicago Typewriter, he might be able to win the military's large-scale purchases.
And this is not more than 8 years, it can be used for research and development and improvement!
Thinking of another income in the future, Li Zitao was very happy...
After seeing the situation here, Li Zitao took Ava, left under the protection of the monk and others, and went straight to the Skunk Factory.
The road out of the city traveled along the west coast to the northwest, and the roads under construction were very bumpy.
"Is Highway 1 being built here?" Li Zitao asked curiously when he saw the sign being erected by roadside workers.
"Yes, it's been built intermittently for 8 years." Ava said quietly.
There is no hope for the speed of the United States. If you just build a small road casually, you can calculate for several years. This really makes Li Zitao uncomfortable.
I don’t know when the future California Highway 1 will actually be seen.
"By the way, will we pass the Hearst Castle?" Li Zitao suddenly remembered the top-level castle seen on the Internet in his previous life. Should this already exist?
"BOSS, are you talking about the charming mountain village built by the Hearst family?" Ava thought strangely: "We have just passed by, it is on the top of the camping hill."
When I learned from Eva's mouth, the well-known Hearst Castle in the past life has only just been reinforced and laid.
And the name given to it by newspaper tycoon Hearst is not "Hell's Castle," but a charming manor.
It's right to think about it, how can it be called the "castle" before it is built.
"How many years has it been built?" Li Zitao looked weird.
"It was officially built in 1920, and it's just 10 years now." Ava said.
"This is very American..." Li Zitao was completely desperate for American speed.
In the future, he also wants to build his own luxury manor or old castle, if it is handed over to these people to build...
"Grandson, remember to burn a photo for me after the castle was built..."
Mdzz~~
Arriving in Santa Barbara, with the fragrance of flowers and the humid air of the sea, people are shocked, and the coolness that permeates the heart is like purifying the body.
"No wonder here will attract the eyes of the rich." Not to mention the natural scenery, the air alone made him tempted.
The air in Chicago is smoldered by the burning of trains, ships and industrial coal, and Los Angeles is not much better. The black chimneys of port ships are prohibitive.
"BOSS, over there is our R&D center." The ground here is gravel road and dirt road. Ava took out a pair of white flat shoes from under the seat and put them on.
In front of the factory with an area of ​​about four carports, two special guards stand there, and there are more than a dozen special guards in charge of patrolling. These small things are naturally arranged by Ava.
"Go relax and come back before dinner." Li Zitao said to the monk.
"Okay, boss." Seeing that he was there, and clearly knowing Li Zitao's skill, the monk led the person to the town without refutation.
They are about to adapt to this, and enjoy the life's mission wherever they go. ’
Entering the factory, there is no orderly imagination, and instruments, tools, and R&D semi-finished products are everywhere.
Grease is everywhere, this is the correct way to open in the 1930s.
"Miss Eva." A young man with some baldness and a fat figure wearing glasses greeted him and looked at Li Zitao with curious eyes.
"This is Johnson, the chief designer of the skunk." Ava introduced after whispering, pointing sideways to Li Zitao: "Johnson, this is my boss."
"Mr. Li, welcome to the Skunk Factory. This name is great." Johnson shook his hand enthusiastically.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Li Zitao asked playfully.
"Because it's cool, skunk, it reminds me of oil and the US knife, and our business is inseparable from their help." Johnson was very talkative.
"Yes, that's it." Li Zitao nodded calmly.
The ghost knows what skunk means, but this is just his bad taste, but when a person achieves a certain achievement and status.
In his casual sentences, there will be countless people willing to translate them into a variety of profound, inspirational, and wise sayings. ’
Li Zitao enjoys this feeling very much, considering whether to find some experts in literature, art, and history, who are specifically responsible for translating his famous sayings. ’
By the time he reaches middle age, he can write a few autobiographies on this, can't he?
"According to your orders, the early focus is on the engine..." Johnson introduced the current research and development results to him.
It has to be said that the professional is different. The company has not entered the run-in, but the research and development has been moving forward.
Johnson plans to produce a twin engine to increase the kinetic energy and stability of the aircraft while increasing the power-to-weight ratio...
A la la la buzzword, Li Zitao's head is bloated.
"Very good idea, is there a prototype?" Li Zitao didn't dare to ask for samples, for fear that Johnson would move an engine and give him a power lesson.
"The engine is still in the test stage. If the prototype is...it takes time." Johnson looked a little bit red.
BOSS didn't follow the routine to play cards and hit him by surprise.
According to normal logic, shouldn't he visit the factory and test engine after he explained it, and then understand the detailed data?
How do you jump to the prototype as soon as you come up? Eaten by dogs?
For a designer proud of technology, this feels uncomfortable.
If he was here, he would definitely have a long talk with Johnson and have a long conversation with Bingzhu, and he would launch a series of pits against Li Zitao with the enemy.
"Tell Ava what needs to be solved and difficulties, she will tell me the first time, there is no hard requirement for the skunk,
If they have any good ideas, they are full of imagination, and they are all whimsical. They can all conduct experiments and demonstrations. The biggest requirement here is to use all your imagination..."
If you put the genius in a frame, you will only get a waste wood. Li Zitao hopes that the skunk can use all his imagination.
Of those imaginary ideas, only 1 out of 100 can be realized.
Li Zitao believes that the only one will definitely bring him a rich report.
Since ancient times, how many genius designs and inventions have originated from ‘Dare to think,’ if they dare not even think about it, how can they be successful?
It's like his salted fish. If he hadn't had the bold thought of overturning Capone, how would he achieve today's achievement.
"When the prototype comes out, remember to tell me." Before leaving ~EbookFREE.me~ Li Zitao did not forget to explain it deliberately.
In Johnson's view, this is BOSS's strong doubt on the progress of their work.
"Let everyone come to the office for a meeting." Johnson murmured his teeth: "I want to let BOSS see our ability before the end of the year."
More investment, greater freedom, more abundant funds, all he wants.
"BOSS, would this be too stressful?" As she walked towards the town, Ava looked at Li Zitao, who was chuckling, and was speechless.
"No, geniuses always need some pressure to use their smart brains. This pressure is now available, just wait for the satisfactory fruit to be harvested."
Breathing fresh and humid air, Li Zitao was very satisfied with the development of the skunk.
Although he can't understand those professional terms, he can feel the confidence and pride of each other in Johnson's self-assured and clanging words.
"Special planes, sports cars, yachts..." Li Zitao thought hard about it.
The buzzing sound is the same as the plane that is about to fall apart.
Black smoke, coal burning yacht?
Speed ​​is only 50 mile, classic car sports car?
Why is there no system for my rebirth, otherwise it would be nice to have a piece of memory with black technology! ! !
Silently vomiting this low forcing, Li Zitao walked into the bar in the town.
"Hush—beauty, your figure is awesome..." Just entered the door, the oily hair of the hair comb shined, and at first glance, the rich second-generation young people stood in front of him.
"Let let." Li Zitao frowned.
"Sorry, I just want to know this beautiful lady." After the other person bowed politely, he reached out to Eva: "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to ask you to have a drink?"
