   Seeing that he was full of confidence, An Feng asked, "I'm curious where your confidence comes from?"

Smith smiled and said: "As the largest defense contractor in the country, our company has a close relationship with the Ministry of Defense and has provided countless military equipment to the country. Therefore, most officials of the Ministry of Defense are familiar with us, and the Minister of Defense is the prime minister's cabinet. Member of the Conservative Party."

  An Feng is still half-knowledgeable.

  In order to persuade him, Smith continued: "Sir, if you have enough time, we can explain in detail."

  An Feng agreed: "Okay."

Smith said: "Recently, Americans have made a lot of noise about exoskeletons, and many people have seen the power of new technologies, especially in the UK. After citizens learned that the power assist system was produced in the UK through the Internet, some people questioned why the government did not have mechanical exoskeletons. skeleton."

  An Feng heard a lot from him. To put it simply, he wanted to please voters and keep his seat.

  Because the United Kingdom is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy country, which is somewhat different from the United States, the head of state is always the king, and the head of government is elected by the largest party, not an election. The Conservative Party is currently the ruling party in the UK, and its party leader is elected prime minister. Most of the prime minister's cabinet is from the same party, so they are all grasshoppers on the same line. In order to gain the approval of voters, they share the same hatred.

  The prime minister is not elected by the voters, but the members of the parliament are determined by the voters. After losing the voters' trust, the party's seats in the parliament will be reduced. If it is surpassed by other parties, it will lose the position of the ruling party. So the preferences of the voters are the most important, at present they need to strengthen the national defense.

The cause of the incident is that the Americans are smug, let the whole world know that they have developed a powerful exoskeleton, and promote a new era of individual soldiers, which naturally affects the judgment of citizens, thinking that this guy "can reverse the war", since it is British If the company provides the original, the UK must also have it.

   Even if the argument of "reversing the war" seems ridiculous to high-level officials, the voters can't make you laugh, and the ruling party has to please the voters.

  So the Prime Minister ordered, and the Ministry of Defense tried to find a way, but the defense contractors racked their brains, but they couldn't make it.

  In the end, through various relationships, they found the real person in charge of the company.

  If BAE can produce an exoskeleton, it will get a contract from the Ministry of Defense, and the ruling party will win the favor and trust of voters. As the position of the ruling party is firmly established, the prime minister will of course repay the meritorious officials. According to An Feng's hope, nominating the queen and awarding medals is a breeze.

  After this series of complex operations, the key is the exoskeleton. Its psychological effect is greater than its actual effect. As far as the current situation is concerned, the government uses it as a facade to please voters, rather than to equip the army and enhance its combat effectiveness. The culprit is American propaganda.

  An Feng asked: "What if the exoskeleton is built within a month?"

Smith said knowingly: "We will sign an order for the booster system with the machinery company. If it is confirmed to be correct, we will let the Prime Minister's cabinet know the key to the matter, and nominate the hero to the Queen, and then decide on the award of the Medal of Honor. Before next June."

  An Feng said: "Let me think about it first, and I will give you an answer within three days."

   "We look forward to your call from Mr. Smith." Smith offered his business card with both hands.

  …

  An Feng said that considerations are just planning details.

   But Joanna has a little concern of hers: "Do you think Americans would be happy to see you spread exoskeleton technology to other countries?"

  An Feng said: "The cooperation is carried out in secret."

   "But now, except for the United States, only you and your team have the ability to manufacture this kind of thing, and you can guess it." Joanna said.

   "Don't worry, the exoskeleton has been leaked. Don't forget, there is another country that made it—Japan." An Feng gave a realistic example.

"But…"

   "Don't worry, I will take care of the details." An Feng said, "Don't you want this?"

  Joanna said: "As a citizen of the country, I agree very much, but as your wife, I will consider other things selfishly."

   "You worry too much, dear." An Feng held her in his arms, "This is just a simple business, and it won't lead to any bad results."

In fact, the most fundamental reason An Feng didn’t say is that no matter whether there are benefits or not, he will send the technology out. From the analysis of the structure of the equation, the mutual checks and balances of strength will reduce the probability of disputes, so after comprehensive consideration, he will Choose to do so.

   It just so happened that the British offered to deliver it to their door.

  …

  The manufacture of exoskeletons can be completed in two weeks if the equipment and materials are sufficient. If it is in the form of mass production, it will not exceed three days on average. What An Feng can provide is the overall blueprint to test the brain, and how to match the three core components to torture the brain cells.

  Smith was surprised after learning about the whole process: "The booster system, batteries and chips, are these the reasons that hinder our manufacturing?"

  An Feng asked back: "You think it's easy?"

  Smith thought for a while, the current company that manufactures the booster system is based in the UK, and the other two are technologies that shocked the world, so it is easier said than done.

   "I'm sorry." Smith corrected himself.

An Feng continued to explain: "I believe that your machinery and equipment are good enough. Follow the blueprints and order three cores. The power system and batteries are not a big problem. The main problem is chips. If the United States agrees to export them, there will be no problem. If not. , consider self-production."

  Smith said: "The Americans will agree, because the assist system is in our hands."

  An Feng laughed when he heard it: "That's true."

   It took less than a day for the matter to be completed. An Feng clattered according to the drawings, and the group of technicians recorded it fiercely. After asking the details one by one, they can be put into production immediately. An Feng completed the task and left. He didn't worry about the other party's repentance, and the core was in his own hands.

  After staying in Birmingham for a few days, I returned to London after the days of constant entertainment.

  Bazel invited them to be a guest this time, but An Feng was more respectful than obedient, so he and Joanna made serious preparations and drove to the Kensington area, which is about ten kilometers away from downtown London. The local area is a typical wealthy area with high housing prices, but it is a bit beyond An Feng's expectations.

   An Feng who slowed down the speed said: "I thought Bazel should live in that kind of country manor. He is a baron, a real nobleman."

  Joanna said: "Perhaps you have to consider the actual situation. He is a busy person who often travels to and from Europe and the United States. He lives far away. Can he take care of him?"

   "Perhaps also." An Feng said, "If I fly around often, I must be like him."

  During the conversation, the car came to Bazel's house.

  By the standard of ordinary people, Bazel's place is luxurious with mountains and rivers, but according to his mother's standard, this place is honestly very ordinary.

  An Feng drove the car into the house.

  Bazel, her wife and a butler came out to welcome them. The scale was not large, but it also had a set of noble standards.

  According to the rules of the guests, An Feng greeted him and his wife Victoria. In addition, Bazel has a daughter, but she is currently sent to a boarding school and has not returned. There is only one housekeeper, one cook and two servants in this house. The driver is also served by the housekeeper.

  Bazel invited them into the house and said: "Please be casual, I know you young people don't like that set of red tape."

  An Feng smiled: "It seems that Mr. is also someone who has experienced it."

  Bazel said: "Of course, only my mother still insists on that set. It is traditional and cumbersome. Not everyone can adapt to it, let alone enjoy it."

"Please sit down!" Bazel asked them to sit down, "For children's education, I advocate a streamlined line, keeping the same style as a gentleman and a lady, but don't ask too much, like Joanna is perfect, and some Flaws are acceptable, complexity is no fun.”

   "I also agree that children should also have free time at their disposal." An Feng said.

Bazel said something about education, but to be honest, An Feng didn't have any children, so it was a bit troublesome to talk about it with Bazel, but fortunately, Bazel changed the subject without saying a word , talk about recent fun, equestrianism or something.

Although Bazel is more than 20 years older than An Feng, there are also common topics. Several people chatted until the evening, and the dinner was held according to the Western way of entertaining guests. It took a long time. In addition to small chats, they also talked about business things, the development of communication companies, etc.

"According to what Hart said, he will arrange for a very good person to manage the company. I am quite confident in him. His business investment success rate is high and his choices are unique. If you don't have talents that you value, I It is recommended to follow his plan," Bazel said.

  Joanna said: "I talked to him and agreed with him."

  Bazel looked at An Feng, An Feng smiled and said, "I don't have a problem anymore. The investor is Joanna, and I'm not even a member of the board of directors."

   "I wish us success." Bazel raised his glass to them.

  …

  Stay in Bazel for a day, and then return to downtown London.

According to Goodrich’s progress report, the issue of the club’s transfer has been settled. At present, he has offered 410 million pounds to buy the team. Most of the money will be used to pay off the team’s debts, bank arrears, etc., and the rest can be taken by the previous owner. The cash, about 80 million pounds.

In addition, he also promised to have an additional 100 million pounds of liquidity for the purchase of players and club operations, and the total amount of the acquisition actually reached 510 million pounds, which is currently the party with the highest offer and the most satisfactory to the previous boss. No surprise.

   Two days later, the official news came that the other party agreed to sell the team.

  An Feng didn't need much preparation. Credit Suisse's Herlandecker had already helped him deal with the money issue, and he would use the money as Joanna. Now all they need is to wait for lawyers and assistants. There is also a certain number of bodyguards to deal with curious media.

On the day of signing the contract, An Feng turned into a man in a black suit and sunglasses, and followed her closely. Joanna was dressed like a standard British lady, with a dark coat and a long skirt, a hat slanted, and lace gloves on both hands, very dignified. One can tell at a glance that she is a woman of extraordinary background.

   After the lawyers and assistants confirmed that the terms were correct, the two parties formally signed the contract. After the completion, they shook hands and congratulated the success of the cooperation. The assistant collected the contract. According to the contract, the money will be transferred within three days. Since then, it has been announced that the position of the Liverpool boss will be replaced.
