Chatting all night, we were in peace. The next morning, Nikola invited an operation executive of Starry Sky Group. This was a middle-aged man who looked very serious, with a vicious aura between his eyebrows, not like a good person to talk to. In front of Nikola, he seemed very kind, but when he spoke to Weis, his expression and tone were much colder. He told Weis that the old production line of the aircraft manufacturing factory was indeed considering transfer, and several potential buyers have contacted him. The initial contact price was around 2,000 gold kroner. If the entire production line was packed home, it could fully meet the needs of ordinary agricultural aircraft and medium and short-distance postal freight aircraft. It is also feasible to carry passengers in a small number or for short-distance sightseeing.

2,000 gold crown is similar to Nikola's valuation, but her valuation is based on self-built production lines, not a second-hand production line that has been worn and depreciated. I feel that this is the rhythm of starting the price? Take a step back, even if the price can be negotiated, this second-hand production line with no room for improvement is like a double-edged sword. The advantage is that it can allow workers to quickly master aircraft production technology, and the disadvantage is that it will inevitably become a flaw restricting the rapid development of the enterprise. Is it necessary to bargain in a harsh manner?

After reading the technical information provided by the other party, Weiss thought for a while and stretched out three fingers: "Sorry, I will pay up to 300 gold crowns for such a production line. As for other potential buyers, what price they are willing to pay, that is their business and has nothing to do with me."

Such decisive decisiveness made the operation executive on the opposite side stunned. The nunlai was a little confused at first, but then he started to laugh. I don’t know if she was laughing at Weiss’ bargaining or if he thought his bargaining look was funny. Anyway, she was just a technical director, and business affairs had nothing to do with her.

The operation executive, who looks like a 10-year-old older than Weiss, quickly recovered from his shock state. He shook his head and said, "Sir, we are not the military who dealt with redundant materials, half-selling and half-delivery, supporting all sectors of society to actively restore the economy. We have evaluated the value of this production line. It has been used for 10 years normally and produces 200-300 aircraft annually. Based on a cost-profit rate of 20-30%, its commercial value is above 4,000 gold kroner. If the management and operation level are good, the profit in the future can be increased a little. Therefore, our reasonable estimate of it is 1,600 to 1,800 gold kroner. As you said, how much quotation is from others is someone else's business. Since our director of Lebold came to me today, I will not talk about those false ones. If the transfer of this production line is to pass the manager's and the board of directors smoothly, the minimum price cannot be less than 1,500."

"You are talking about the income method, but using the cost method, its value is only about 100 gold kroners. Considering the relevant taxes and appropriate floating profits, I will pay up to 300. If you insist on 1500 or 1600, it is very simple. I will spend a winter time and build a new production line with higher technology with about 600-800 gold kroners. We can still afford it in a few months."

The operation executive stared at Weis in surprise, thought for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Okay! I'll go back and communicate with our chief operating officer to hear what he thinks. The senior management may consider it from different angles, but those are something I can't predict."

Weiss smiled and expressed his understanding.

After the operation executive left, Nichola asked mysteriously: "Do you really know what kind of profit method and cost method do you really know?"

"What a joke? Don't look at it with admiration for three days. Have you heard of this principle?" Weiss said seriously. In fact, he took an elective course in basic economics in college. The content of the course was not particularly attractive, but the lecturer was an extremely humorous old man who imparted the basic knowledge of economic operation to students in a lively way. Weiss still kept many of the knowledge points in his mind.

"Hey, if the price can be negotiated, do you really plan to buy this second-hand production line and go back?" Nichola asked again.

Weiss heard the implicit meaning, and he quickly told Nicholas that this was a normal transaction, and there was no need to credit the favors for this matter. Some favors were normal exchanges, and some favors might bring endless trouble. With the realistic lessons of the local council election fraud case in Lorraine, it would be better to be cautious. Speaking of this, Weiss couldn't help but joke that Brooks' "ghostly dispersed" guy seems to have been more enthusiastic than Lorraine in recent years. Whenever something big happens, he can always be seen.

After saying this, we returned to the issue of Nikolai Steel. Weiss said that as long as the price is right, it would be no problem to buy this production line that has been used for less than three years and use it normally for five or six years. Isn’t it a pleasure to digest the technology, train workers, and build a better production line by yourself?

This analysis also makes sense, and Nicholas couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Beautiful job!"

Weiss continued that if the price cannot be negotiated, then as he said before, spend a few months to form a new production line. Although doing so takes time and money, the biggest advantage is that it can get rid of the constraints of thinking and stand at the starting point of new technology from the beginning. In the long run, it is actually more meaningful than buying a second-hand production line.

"If I really want to set up a new production line, I can find you a few reliable helpers, the kind that is not favorable!" Nicholas said seriously, "I will lead the team myself."

"Is this part-time job or a job change? How much salary do I want to give you?" Weiss joked.

"Didn't you say that? If you want to dig me for help, just give me some symbolically." Nicholas gave him a playful expression.

"That won't work!" Weiss said half-jokingly, "It's necessary to have a higher salary to be called poaching, so you can explain it to your father!"

"He?" Nichola curled his lips and said unhappily: "He doesn't care about this aspect. If I change to a job that doesn't have to fly, even if my salary is only enough to support myself, he will be happy to accept it. Anyway, I just don't want me to fly in the sky, and I always feel that the danger is too high."

If this topic continues, it will inevitably mention the sad story of Brother Nichola's death. Weiss quickly changed the topic: "In the first stage, we only produce aircraft with ordinary performance and durability, so we don't need ace pilot like you. If you really want to help, introduce a few flight techniques and reliable character, and you are willing to go to Lorraine, that's fine!"

"Do you think I'm annoyed?" Nicholas looked stern, "Isn't it good to see me every day?"

Weis scratched his head. This is a question that is given away. How to answer it well?

"Okay, but I'm always a little worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Nichola asked step by step.

"What should I do if you have been with an outstanding young man like me for a long time and have raised your eyes and no one will look down on you in the future?"

Weiss's way of forcibly gigging on his face immediately made Nichola laugh. Since he talked about fate, how could he not mention Guniville's interesting story? After listening to Weiss's teasing, Nicholas sighed: "I didn't think she was anything special before, but since I listened to the song "Looking up at the Starry Sky" she sang, I really regret that I was not a man."

This time it was Weiss' turn to make a lot of laughter.

Seeing him laughing loudly, Nicholas was not angry, and walked to turn on the phonograph. After hearing the song "Looking up at the Starry Sky", she suddenly asked Weiss: "Don't you like her?"

"I like it!" Weiss replied without hesitation, "Last time at Mason, I chose the best and most expensive restaurant to treat her to dinner."

Nicholas rolled his eyes at him. This micro-expression of expressing disgust was commonplace during their Baston Military Academy, but now it has been a long time ago.

"If you chase her and marry her home, I will definitely stay in Lorraine for a long time. It doesn't matter how much salary you pay, as long as you can listen to her singing often." After saying that, Nicholas added: "Really!"

"If she knew that you like her so much, she would probably be very happy! However, even if she was happy, she would inevitably feel sad..." Weiss shook his head with a sigh, "This is called luck to make people!"

"Is this a matter of course?" Nicholas asked.

Weis glanced at her: "It's not reliable than buying the aircraft production line with a bargaining of 300 gold crowns! She has never seen me at all, and I only like her that kind of love. How could I get together?"

Nicholas nodded thoughtfully, no longer asked, but said, "It may take several days for them to reply to the production line. If you have no urgent matters, why not wait for news here with me?"

"I will stay until tomorrow afternoon at most," Weiss replied frankly. "Mr. Brooks, the first-level inspector of the Department of Safety Supervision, only gave me one week. It takes two days to go back and forth, and three days in between, and all are left for you."

"This guy..." Nichola bit her lip, she thought for a moment, but she gave up after all.

"There is still one day and one night left. Let me replenish my plane skills and flight skills?" Weiss suggested.

Nicholas patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, although time is limited, it's still okay to teach you the most basic aircraft driving skills. As for aircraft technology, I can give you some private information and you can just take it back and study it."

"Beautiful job!" Weiss gave a thumbs up.
