Chapter 1756 (2/2)
No matter how humble his work place is, he can't stop his research and creation.
”The place is a little bit rough.” Self modesty or self modesty, Jack takes them into the factory with a smile.
”I know a lot of great companies come from garages, and maybe it will become a culture in the future.”
Facing Jack's curious eyes, Li Zitao said in his heart: Unfortunately, these companies do not know whether there is a chance to be born.
Today's Wang An company, in the computer field can be said to be a unique branch.
And the mistakes it once made will never appear again with Li Zitao's control.
When he was silent, Jack stopped asking questions and started to introduce the company's main R & D direction and current business scope.
Nowadays, Northrop's main business is outsourcing and OEM from other companies, and there is no stable source of income.
But the research and development direction is very clear and specific, flying wings.
”All Northrop's research, all around flying wings, I firmly believe that it will be the future of aircraft.”
Jack Northrop's eyes glowed with enthusiasm as he said this.
It's a love of airplanes and a belief in our own judgment.
Only like him, who firmly believes in himself and strives for his dream all his life, can he be worthy of the glory and strength of Northrop in the future.
As a matter of fact, the loneliness of Northrop now has the shadow of many arms giants.Even Boeing may play an ignominious role in it.
Everything will start with the last product of Northrop in modern times, yb-49.
Yb-49 is a super heavy bomber built for the military according to the requirements of the military. It can also be said that it is the predecessor of B-2.
Since the delivery of the prototype aircraft and the first flight test in the air force base, yb-49 has been experiencing frequent problems.
Concussion, instability and engine fire, multiple problems for the military to worry about.
However, the fire problem of the engine was caused by human factors. The FBI also intervened in the investigation, and finally, forced by some pressure, chose to close the case with ”personnel negligence”.
These Li Zitao had already asked the FBI for information before they came.
In 49, the air force first cancelled the order for the medium-sized rb-49a, then the yb-49, and finally the whole project.
As a result, Northrop almost went bankrupt.
The capital confrontation and political compromise represented by the latter can not be finished in a few words.
Jack, as a party, naturally knows the inside story.
It doesn't really matter to him whether Boeing is involved or not.
People die for money, birds die for food, which has been the case since ancient times.
If we change the angle, let him stand on the other side's position, in the face of the rise of competitors, we will also use means to suppress them.
The market is so big, why let others enter easily?
As for fairness, shopping malls are like battlefields.
But it is unrealistic to say that he doesn't mind at all and is completely relieved.
The reason why he refused Gruman's acquisition was that Jack didn't think the other party was qualified at all. The other reason was that he had not put down the matter at that time.
However, this time, Li Zitao came in person to give Jack Northrop face.
Whether or not to agree to the acquisition and merge with Li's depends on the specific conditions given by the other party.
”What are the conditions for Northrop to become Boeing's fifth independent R & D studio?”
Li Zitao's mouth is Wang fried. Even Jack, who has made numerous conjectures, is shocked and tongue tied.
Does he really want Northrop to be an independent studio like skunk, McDonald, gluman and Douglas?
Jack Northrop had to admit that he was in a heartbeat.
