British 1986

"right!"

Allen looked at Tanaka Kubo with a smile, as if you were very wise.

"Summer is coming soon. As for the new products, I hope you can add some tricks, even if you just bring some water stickers."

"What kind of color do you want, Your Excellency?"

Tanaka Kubo still has sovereignty over the appearance and color of the product. As long as he is happy, even if he wants colorful black, he is confident that the people in the design department can make it!

"Well, look, you can add some watermelon elements to it."

"???"

Tanaka Kubo's heart felt cold. Don't forget that many people like to eat watermelon in summer, but...

If this kind of product is sold in the United States, it will look like a watermelon!

This thing is easy to talk about in other places, but in the United States, things like watermelon are always involved in some discrimination.

The main reason is that the former slave owners in the Americas grew watermelons as food for black people because they were easy to grow and had high yields.

In addition, when black people eat watermelon, they often like to dig it directly with their hands. The juice of the watermelon splashes everywhere and looks dirty. Later, as soon as this thing appears, it can break some people's hearts.

In Alan’s opinion, what’s the most enjoyable way to eat watermelon?

Put the watermelon that has been chilled in the refrigerator or well water, cut it in half, and eat it with a spoon. This is the most enjoyable way to eat it.

But if you think it’s unsightly to dig it in and eat it, you can cut it into pieces and eat it with toothpicks or forks.

I just don’t understand why those people like to use these things online, making them afraid of this and that.

Since they have ambiguity about this, let's take it out separately.

"Your Excellency, this is..."

"I know what you want to say, but have you ever thought about it? Sometimes you don't need to be so comprehensive when doing marketing. Some groups are not your target customers and they don't have the money to buy your products."

Allen said this, patted Tanaka Kubo on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "If you use this kind of obviously ambiguous publicity method, although you will lose some potential customers of little value, you can gain a lot of money." Batch customers who are not yours!"

Sony already has a criminal record. They seem to be cheap and like to use other people's pain points for publicity. Now Allen is just taking this kind of thing out in advance to guide them on the "right" path.

Let's start with a trick of milk blackness, and then they can make some extreme white Americans fall over to them.

By the way, it can also bring a wave of news.

the most important is

What Allen didn't say, Sony has been a little dishonest recently. They haven't even completely won the British Commonwealth market, and they are always bent on continuing to develop the American market.

I always want to acquire some more properties in the United States.

How does this work?

After boarding Master Allen's boat, it is not so easy to get off the boat or step on two boats.

In Allen's eyes, their son, Sony, is now a big piece of fat. Seeing that his fat always wants to jump into other people's pots, although his mouth is full of oil, Allen does not want to let it go even if he destroys them. Others eat.

What I can’t get, you can’t even imagine!

He now wants to dig some holes for Sony and try his best to pour some dirty water on them that they can't bear to refuse.

Capital.

When faced with real sales and user groups, it is understandable to change your position a little and do some stupid things, as long as you can make money.

Allen didn't believe they could bear to give up this opportunity.

Even if they don't take the bait, he still has hundreds of Koreans in his hands. If he randomly sends a few people over, even if they pretend to be Sony people, they will still be seduced!

Want to break away from Mr. Allen and take care of the development of the United States?

no way!

As long as they do it, this will be the handle to further control them in the future.

Allen briefly explained the benefits and "small risks" to Tanaka Kubo.

"Even if the controversy is too big in the end, aren't you very good at apologizing? Then you can just hold a press conference, bow a few times on stage and apologize? Only by being in the news for several months can you gain popularity in the United States. To expand the market, think about how much your popularity will increase in the past few months?"

To be honest, Tanaka Kubo was moved when faced with Allen's words.

In fact, the islanders also look down on black people. What they really admire are white people. To them, black people are really just like that. Except when filming, when they need to use certain talented players, there is not much demand at other times. In addition, if they promote it like this, the southern market in the United States will open the door to them!

"Sir, I still need to go back and call the headquarters to discuss it."

Tanaka Kubo sat on the sofa, twisted his butt, and agreed with a smile on his face.

Allen stood up, looked down at Tanaka Kubo and said: "Then you have to hurry up. Then you will also help us clarify the matter of getting the wrong movie master tape. We have to make good use of the news and public opinion. Use your power well.”

"Yes! I understand, I'll call right away."

As Allen walked outside the office, he tilted his head and said to Tanaka Kubo who was following him to see him off: "As for the press conference, we have a professional team of screenwriters. I will arrange it here and wait for you to make the call to discuss it. Okay, let’s inform Patrice.”

"Okay, I will make a decision before tomorrow morning so that you can worry about it."

Arriving in the small courtyard of the office, Tanaka Kubo jogged two steps and opened the car door for Allen first. After Allen got in the car, he gently closed the door and gave another very standard bow.

The convoy left the office and headed west along the coastal road towards Llanelli Port.

After less than an hour's drive, we finally arrived at the small port where the warships were parked.

This is considered a private pier, but the water level is relatively deep, but there are not many berths, and it is generally not open to the public.

Other fishing boats, cargo ships, etc., usually go to the nearby port of Llanelli. In addition, there are warships parked here, and the surrounding area has long been closed, so no one will come here.

When Li Zairong came here for the first time a few days ago, the warship he saw was the Cardiff destroyer, which had completed the sealing procedures and had been maintained.

This warship definitely cannot sail directly to the sealing port, because its secret will be revealed once it gets there.

We can only stop here first, find some people responsible for inspection, and come over to do a fake test.

As soon as Allen got out of the car, he looked at the sun that was about to set not far away from the sea. Under the afterglow, the 125-meter hull looked slender but still majestic.

This thing will look very small just by looking at the photos, but only by seeing it in person can you find out what kind of behemoth this regular warship is.

At least Allen has served on this ship for several years and still has a lot of affection for it.

In the mid-to-late 1960s, the British developed sea-to-air missiles. At that time, they needed to equip new warships. After several design changes, they finally designed this, the Sheffield-class, which is the Type 42 destroyer.

The technical indicators required at that time were that the ship must be able to follow the fleet's mixed formation, provide the fleet with a series of capabilities such as air, sea, and anti-submarine capabilities, and the ship must also have a certain degree of independent combat capabilities.

To put it bluntly, you need to be able to form a team to cooperate with your teammates and cooperate with the big guys, but you also need to be able to work alone. It can be regarded as a small snake oil ship.

The first batch of single ships cost about 30 million pounds each, and the external quotation is 50 million pounds each.

Of course, the navy bosses want to share the profit of the extra 20 million pounds. If shipbuilding is not profitable, then why build it?

The first batch of ships were put into service one after another in the 1970s, and this Cardiff has only been in service for less than ten years.

At that time, the British media had new warships, missiles, radars, etc. on their hands. The newspapers were so boastful that they wanted to describe this thing as a Star Destroyer.

Until the Falklands Battle a few years ago, when Argentina directly sank two ships, the "myth" was shattered, and the faces of British gentlemen were bruised and swollen.

Later, in order to shirk responsibility, this model of destroyer was identified as having "design defects" by the superiors, and all remaining subsequent construction plans were canceled. The drawings were improved, and the second batch of enlarged POR models were produced.

Allen also relied on this statement to successfully get the ship back.

Now it's just a step further to make it retreat more completely.

When Thomas saw Allen get off the car, he quickly walked to Allen's side and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the inspection team has completed the inspection and issued reports on the "problematic" areas. The personnel sent by the shipyard have also marked Now that we can’t keep which equipment, do you still want to go up and take a look?”

Allen nodded without saying a word, just slowly walked to the side of the ship and boarded the ship.

The Cardiff, which has been in service for less than ten years, has undergone extensive maintenance. In theory, it is now considered a 95-new warship.

The technical indicator of this thing's design at the time was a theoretical service life of at least 25 years. However, under normal circumstances, the technical specifications and standards of warships are very high. As long as the maintenance is in place, it will be able to serve for forty years.

Even if it is decommissioned, it can still serve for another twenty or thirty years if it is maintained and sold to other countries.

In addition, what is the theoretical service life?

In addition, now that this thing is to be converted into a civilian yacht, the use environment and intensity of use will be greatly reduced. Needless to say, as long as this boat is well maintained, it can basically be used for anything that Allen can no longer use when he is old. when.

As long as the yacht is refitted by then, with a length of 125 meters, a standard displacement of 3,150 tons, and a fully loaded displacement of more than 4,000 tons, it will become one of the top ten super private yachts in the world, or even the top five. OK.

As long as he fills up the tank and brings supplies, Allen and a hundred servants can be self-sustaining for a month and a half on one trip to sea!

Wherever you want to go, you can go on a yacht and make your own home on the sea!

Think about the concept of a 125-meter-long, 14.3-meter-wide private yacht?

In ordinary residential and commercial high-rise communities, the standard height of each floor is three meters to 3.5 meters. Generally, a height of three meters is good, 125 meters.

The concept of a forty-story residential complex with four households and three bedrooms lying directly in the sea

It is nothing more than a palace on the sea.

Seeing the large swaths of weapons marked with demolition marks, Allen felt distressed.

“Do these all have to be torn down?”

They are all good cannons and missile launchers.

"Well"

Thomas looked at Allen's look and could only persuade him against his will: "Sir, these are offensive weapons. If you keep them forcibly, it will be very troublesome for you to dock at other countries' ports when you are traveling abroad!"

"Um"

Allen looked at the only remaining weapon system in the group, which was the famous American MK15 six-barreled 20mm small-caliber gun "Phalanx" short-range weapon system, and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as this thing is left, it will be fine. With the matching radar, this thing can automatically defend against incoming missiles, aircraft and other weapons within ten kilometers without manual operation. Of course.

It's okay to lay it flat and hit boats, but the main thing is that this thing is a real "defensive weapon."

Touching the naval gun again, Allen said with a look of reluctance: "Have the buyers of the weapon system been arranged?"

These weapons cannot be kept for use, but they can be sold for money!

Moreover, the money from the sale must be shared with everyone who has contributed to this matter, which is considered a welfare for everyone, so Thomas has been keeping an eye on it.

"We've all been contacted. It's the Argentines. They want to test the performance of the weapon and study it. Then they may be able to order a new warship."

"???"

Allen suddenly turned his head and glanced at Thomas.

"Faq, you are such a fucking talent, how did you get in touch with the Argentine?"

The two sides had just fought each other with bruises and bruises a few years ago, and Great Britain won a tragic victory. Now they are going to buy weapons?

"Well, this is the contact person at the shipyard. It is said that someone from the Navy Department introduced me."

Thomas didn't understand what was going on here, he was just the superficial guard.

"oh"

Allen nodded. It seemed that the people he had connections with had intervened. No wonder he could get new orders.

Building such a destroyer can directly or indirectly provide more than 3,000 jobs to shipyards and related supporting companies, which is quite impressive when you think about it.

Gentlemen of Great Britain, as long as you can give them money, it doesn't matter who you are, you can sell whatever you want.

Argentina has personally experienced the power of this type of destroyer. Although they sank two destroyers, they deceive themselves. If this kind of warship is not a threat, why would they attack it?

really

You have to try something before you buy it!

"Okay, let them tow it away. You will be responsible for the subsequent contact with the shipyard. Show me the design drawings and budget, and then give it to me."

Allen walked down the gangway, silently glanced at the hull number on the side of the ship's bow in the shadows, and silently said goodbye to the Cardiff. From now on, you can retire peacefully and eat, drink and have fun with me.

Seeing the workers getting ready to board the ship, Allen was not allowed to stay here for long.

In this era, the Internet is about to be born. In the future, information will become more and more developed, and there will be more and more idle people. In this way, there will not be many opportunities to earn money openly.

In a few decades, if there are those idle people who take a short video and post it on the Internet, maybe outsiders will say something. It will be great now. Once the port is closed, there will be no outsiders, even if it is far away Someone can see this warship and don't think much about it.

All the procedures for this warship are "real" and are followed according to the procedures. Even if someone exposes it in the future, there will be no fault.
