According to foreign media reports, Lockheed Martin, which has been repeatedly "suppressed" by US President Donald Trump, recently reiterated that it will "reduce the price" of F-35 fighters, but this will not affect the revenue of fighter projects. Marilyn Hewson, CEO of Lockheed Martin, said on the same day that the purpose of Trump's price reduction is not to weaken the company's revenue. "We understand his concern about purchasing power." "This is related to how we can reduce costs in the future." The chart released by Lockheed Martin on the same day shows that the price of each fighter has dropped by more than 60% since the development of the F-35 fighter.

Gu Huoping, a military expert, said that Washington military reformers who have long complained about delays and cost overruns in the Pentagon's military procurement projects seem to have found a congenial president Donald Trump, who seems to have joined their camp. At present, the two sides can be said to be "bosom friends." The incoming Trump is indeed an excellent "businessman". Before he took office, he first accused Boeing of cost overruns of two Air Force One, claiming to cancel the contract of Air Force One. Then Trump pointed his finger at Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II fighter. Trump accused the "boiling point" cost of getting out of control and threatened to stop purchasing "boiling point".

In fact, American arms dealers are not so "black-hearted" and the profits of arms companies will not be so great. This is because there is no "threshold" for American military enterprises, and any enterprise can enter and leave at any time without any administrative and legal "barriers". From the management point of view, it is also well understood that in order to obtain high profit rate, any industry will produce 1-2 star enterprises in a certain period of time, with high profit rate, but it is very remarkable to maintain it for ten years and eight years, and it is rare to maintain it for twenty or thirty years. It is impossible to maintain a high profit margin and enjoy long-term stability, otherwise other competitors will come in immediately. F-35 fighter is naturally a high-tech product, and it is impossible for general companies to have the strength to carry out R&D and production. However, if the profit of the F-35 fighter reaches an "amazing" level, then some well-funded companies will definitely "step forward".

Revolutionary mentor Karl Marx quoted British economic critic Tuo? About what? Deng Ning (now translated as "Dunninger") said: "Once there is a proper profit, capital will be bold." If there is a profit of 10%, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a profit of 20%, it will be active; With a profit of 50%, you will take risks; Profit 100%, dare to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300%, I dare to commit any crime, even risking my head.
