Chapter 118 (1/2)
”Thompson is a bag company. He doesn't have his own R & D organization at all.” Hans said with disdain.
”Oh?” Li Zitao looked up at him.
”Boss, the man who made these weapons is the same company that makes your Python revolver.” Said Hans, pointing to the python revolver in his waist.
”Colt?” Li Zitao looked at the pistol on his waist unexpectedly.
”Yes, Thompson is just a shell company in charge of external sales. They don't even have their own weapon manufacturing plants. All of them have been turned into warehouses.”
”And they only have Thompson's gun. It's peaceful now. If it wasn't bought by gangsters, they would have gone bankrupt.”
”The m1911a1 semiautomatic pistol, which has been equipped with the US Army since 26, is also produced by Colt, but Thompson holds the manufacturing patent of Chicago printer.”
Hearing that colt was a potential military arms buyer, Li Zitao's eyes brightened and said, ”how is Colt's development? Is there a chance to buy it?”
”It's hard.” As early as the division design was determined, aegis began to pay attention to the light weapons factories on the market, including colt, who had an outstanding performance in the pistol industry.
”Colt has plenty of cash flow because of the army's massive purchases.” Hans said with some regret.
”It doesn't matter, EVA. Let think tanks contact them to see if there is any possibility of investment and cooperation. In addition, contact Thompson company to buy their patents.”
It's better for colt to accept the acquisition. If you don't accept it, you can choose to cooperate. When the time comes, you can become your own person. Is it OK to borrow a few gun designers?
It's all a family. What you have is mine, mine It's still mine.
As for the Chicago typewriter, there is no doubt about its performance, especially in close combat. It is a sharp weapon to kill.
Since the sales volume in peacetime is low, Thompson should choose to let go as long as the price is right.
Others don't know, Li Zitao is very clear about the occurrence of World War II.
Don't you see that the dwarf is in the black government every once in a while, preaching his party?
When the war comes, with the mighty performance of Chicago typewriters, they may be able to win a large number of military procurement.
Besides, there are still more than 8 years left for R & D and improvement!
Thinking of another income in the future, Li Zitao was very happy
After seeing the situation here, Li Zitao left with EVA under the protection of monks and others, and went straight to the skunk factory.
Out of the city, along the west coast, all the way to the northwest, the road under construction is very bumpy.
”Is this highway 1 being built here?” Seeing the sign that the roadside workers are erecting, Li Zitao asked curiously.
”Yes, it's been on and off for eight years.” EVA said calmly.
The speed of the United States is hopeless. If you build a small road casually, it can be calculated for several years. This really makes Li Zitao uncomfortable.
I don't know when we can really see the future of California Highway 1.
”By the way, will we pass through the castle of Hester?” Li Zitao suddenly remembered the top-level ancient castle that he saw on the Internet in his previous life. Should it have existed at this time?
”Boss, are you talking about the charming villa built by the Hurst family?” EVA thought strangely, ”we've just passed by. It's on the top of the camp.”
It was learned from AVA that the former famous Heshi castle had just been reinforced and its foundation had been laid.
What's more, the name given to it by the newspaper magnate Hurst is not ”castle of Hester”, but a charming manor.
It's right to think about it. How can it be named ”ancient castle” before it's built.
”How many years has it been built?” Li Zitao looks strange.
”It was officially built in 1920, and it's only 10 years now.” EVA said.
”It's very American...” Li Zitao was totally desperate about the speed of the United States.
In the future, he also wants to build his own luxury manor or castle. If these people are entrusted to build it
”Grandson, I remember that after the ancient castle was built, take a photo and burn it for me...”

arriving in Santa Barbara, it's refreshing to arrive at Santa Barbara with the fragrance of flowers and the moist air of sea water. The coolness that seeps into the heart is like purifying the body.
”No wonder it attracts the eyes of the rich.” Not to mention the natural scenery, the air alone moved him.
Chicago's air is smoky because of trains, ships and industrial coal. Los Angeles is no better. The black smoke pipes of port ships are daunting.
”Boss, that's our R & D center.” The ground here is gravel road and dirt road. EVA takes a pair of white flat shoes from under the car seat and puts them on.
In front of the factory, which covers an area of about four car sheds, two special guards are standing there. There are more than a dozen special guards around who are responsible for patrolling. These small things are naturally arranged by EVA.”Go relax and come back before dinner.” Li said to the monk.
”All right, boss.” Seeing that there were his own people and knowing Li Zitao's skill, the monk took people to the town without refuting.
They are getting used to the task of enjoying life everywhere they go
Entering the factory, there is no imagined order. Instruments, tools and semi-finished products are piled up everywhere.
Oil is all over the place. This is the right way to open it in the 1930s.
