Chapter 348: Young Master Neal Makes a Move, Subverting the Industry

The pricing power was in Braydon’s hands.
He could set it as high as he wanted!
This was the purpose of Hugo Skeeter’s visit.
“Young Master Neal,” he said softly, “the three largest shipbuilding giants in the country have sent representatives to discuss this. I showed them the video of Professor Zill’s experiment on the completed anti-gravity device. “They almost immediately decided to sign a three-year contract with us!”
The three-year contract that Hugo mentioned was the sales contract for the anti-gravity project.
In the next three years, their shipyards would need anti-gravity devices.
This kind of ground-breaking technology could definitely be applied to business.
The shipyard was basically the source of shipping.
All the shipping companies in the world, regardless of the type of tankers and freighters they purchased, had to be ordered from shipyards.
Braydon closed his eyes and sat on the sofa. He did not give Hugo any advice.
On the contrary.
There was no rush to announce the unit price of the anti-gravity device.
Braydon opened his eyes and his thin lips moved slightly. “The three biggest shipbuilding giants in the country are all listed companies?
“Yes, the most powerful, is Tornado Heavy Industries. Its market value is 98.6 billion. It’s considered a 100 billion giant. It’s an old giant and has a good reputation in the industry!”
Hugo said.
In fact, there were hundreds of large and small companies in the domestic shipbuilding industry. Most of them were military enterprises, and there was no such thing as a monopoly.
Each company had their own profits, and the orders were not concentrated in one company.
Hugo continued, “The second company is Samson Ship Holdings Group. It has a market value of 54 billion. Our Hugo Corporation has been working with them for many years.
“The third company is Zortan Manufacturing Company, with a market value of 47 billion. It is also a traditional heavy industry manufacturer with some military background.”
At this moment, Hugo had listed all three companies.
“Call Xandra over!” Braydon smiled.
“Okay!”
Logan Hall stood outside the door and urgently contacted Xandra Milton to ask her to come over.
In less than half an hour.
Xandra was wearing a suit and had short hair that reached her ears. She hurriedly entered and asked, “Young Master, you were looking for me?”
“How much money does the company have in its account?” Braydon asked.
“The investment company can quickly gather 50 billion dollars,” Xandra said. “Lotto Parkinson’s 6 billion dollars hasn’t been touched yet, and Namar’s 50 million dollars came yesterday!’”‘
The Black Sword Virus had tortured Namar to the point of collapse.
The only thing that could deal with the Black Sword Virus was the product of the network security company under the Neal Corporation.
However, they had to pay for each download.
In a short period of time, Xandra could raise nearly 100 billion in cash.
Braydon smiled. “I’ll give you one thing to do. Buy Zortan Manufacturing Company.”
“Huh?”
Hugo was shocked.
Xandra frowned. “Young Master, the shipbuilding industry is a sunset industry.
Many cargo ship manufacturing factories close down every day overseas. There’s overcapacity. It’s not wise to buy them now.”
“Not necessarily. The anti-gravity device will overturn the entire industry!” Hugo’s eyes lit up.
He had guessed Braydon’s plan. The new factory would manufacture anti-gravity devices, connect with the ship manufacturers they had acquired, and sell cargo ships.
A cargo ship equipped with anti-gravity devices was enough to attract the interest of various shipping companies.
Xandra seemed to understand what he wanted to do.
Of course, she knew how to acquire it.
The representatives from Zortan who were here to talk about cooperation with Braydon did they know that Braydon wanted to acquire them.
Braydon had the investment company, exploration company, network security company and the new anti-gravity device factory.
He had a large amount of liquid funds in his hands.
Unknowingly. the number of companies under Braydon’s name was faintly showing signs of surpassing the Neal Corporation!
“Young Master, do we still need to talk to Tornado Heavy Industries and Samson Holdings?” Hugo asked helplessly.
“Continue to negotiate an external cooperation. Use the first-generation anti-gravity device to negotiate!”
Braydon responded.
The second and third generation anti-gravity devices would not be sold to the public.
What they were selling was only the first generation of anti-gravity devices!
This was the advantage of technology.
As for the price of the first generation anti-gravity device, it would be priced according to demand.
An anti-gravity device with a carrying capacity of ten tons and an anti-gravity device with a carrying capacity of a hundred tons definitely had two different prices!
The first generation of anti-gravity devices had a minimum price of 100,000 and a maximum price of 1,000,000!
This was for commercial use, not for the public!
The price was not ridiculously high, but it was not too low either.
After all, the research costs of the anti-gravity device had to be included in this.
Looking at the world, no company in the world could compete with the Neal Corporation in the field of anti-gravity.
No one could shake their monopoly.
The Neal Corporation had the final say in the price.
Only the first-generation anti-gravity device was going to be sold in the country. They would temporarily not sell it internationally.
The domestic market alone was enough for Hugo to work on for a few years.
There were hundreds of shipping manufacturing companies in the country.
If they wanted to install the anti-gravity device, they had to cooperate with the Neal Corporation.
If they did not want to improve, shipping companies like Hugo Corporation would naturally teach these shipping manufacturing companies a lesson.
The initial installation cost of the anti-gravity device was not low.
However, if it was used on a freighter, it could reduce the cost of fuel consumption and transport more goods.
The anti-gravity device had brought about a revolutionary change to the entire industry.
If some enterprises were conservative, they would inevitably be eliminated.
The times were progressing. Under the great waves, the old would be replaced by the new. The appearance of the anti-gravity device was bound to reshuffle many industries.
Xandra moved quickly. She had already asked the investment company to buy the shares of Zortan Manufacturing.
She even sent people to Zortan Manufacturing to discuss the acquisition.
The representative of Zortan Manufacturing was in Preston to negotiate with Hugo about the price of the anti-gravity device.
However, he received a call from the head office.
They told him that the Neal Corporation, the company behind the new factory that produced the anti-gravity device, had sent a representative to buy Zortan Manufacturing.
That representative was stunned!
What was going on?
Zortan Manufacturing was not a small company. It had a market value of tens of billions. How could it be acquired just like that!
How could an investment company under the Neal Corporation have so much money!
Little did they know that Braydon, who was behind Xandra, had mobilized hundreds of billions of funds in a short period of time.
It was not difficult to acquire Zortan.
As for Hugo, he had already signed contracts with Tornado Heavy Industry and Samson Holdings.
Each of them ordered 100 units of the first generation of anti-gravity devices.
This was considered an early stage of cooperation.
In the end, it still depended on the effect of the anti-gravity device.
Hugo decided to sign a contract worth 200 million dollars. In the next month, he would hand over the items to these two companies.
Although the representatives of the two companies wanted to buy the second or even the third-generation anti-gravity devices.
However, they were not up for sale!
After all, the third-generation anti-gravity device had a carrying capacity of 500 tons and was most suitable for installation on cargo ships.
However, Braydon had the third and second-generation anti-gravity device in his hands, and they were not for sale!
