Chapter 330: Generous Gifts (10)

Regarding James's generous gift, although Yao Yi doesn't know what kind of reward James wants to get, Yao Yi can guess that a generous gift of more than 20 million US dollars is already a very, very big super gift for James, who is in a difficult financial situation.

James has invested so much money, and he will definitely not do charity, but has a plan from Yao Yi, and his plan will not be too small, but very big.

In this regard, Yao Yi doesn't have to guess to know, so he used billions of dollars of orders to block James first, in case James wants something, Yao Yi can also fight back.

James smiled and said, "Duke Yao, do you see if our jet transport project should also be launched!"

Yao Yi thought to himself: "Good guy, I want to mention this matter again, this jet heavy transport plane is not a joke, once it is studied, there will be no billions of dollars, and, more importantly, it can't be effective immediately and get commercial returns!"

After all, Yao Yi is not a country, and it is impossible to carry out large-scale procurement like the army, so as to reduce the research and development cost of transport aircraft.

Yao Yi said: "This heavy jet transport aircraft is indeed very important, but under the current circumstances, my financial resources are not able to support such a project, mainly for the following reasons, first, we do not yet have the manufacture of aviation materials, almost all aviation materials need to be imported, and second, the heart of our aviation aircraft!! Aero engines can't be produced, can only rely on imports, third, our current commercial trade has not yet developed, it takes a period of transition, in this case, even if we produce this kind of heavy jet transport aircraft at a high price, it will be because the number of orders is not enough, resulting in high costs, and eventually become a project that cannot be commercialized, fourth, now I have limited funds, in this case, all I can do is to invest in those projects with high returns and fast returns, so the project you said is not the project I want to choose in any way！”

James said: "What you said is right, but you haven't seen a point, if our commercial trade develops rapidly, the demand for heavy transport aircraft is not just dozens, but hundreds of flying over the world, we can invest in research and development now, and when our demand comes up, we can manufacture it immediately!"

Yao Yi smiled and said: "There don't seem to be many goods used in air transport in the world, hundreds of planes are flying around the world, they are flying around to transport something, those things are worth transporting, in the next twenty years, cargo ship transportation is the mainstream, other modes of transportation are not our best choice, besides, even if it is really as you said, hundreds of heavy transport aircraft are needed, I also have a way to 'get' for you to meet your needs!"

James looked at Yao Yi incredulously and said, "What, are you going to conjure up a trick for me, this is not magic!"

Yao Yi said: "Don't worry, hehe, as long as you have money, you can have as much as you want at that time, don't worry at all, I have the bottom of this matter, we still have to develop the heavy helicopter project first, and then talk about it!"

James now regrets sending Yao Yi the American Hercules plane, and he is a little angry in his heart, but he can still bear it, suppress the anger in his heart and say: "Why don't we develop an aero engine project first!"

Yao Yi suddenly cheered up and asked, "You have such a project!"

Seeing that Yao Yi was interested in this project, James felt a little better, and said with a smile: " I have a super aero engine that has been designed, the engine of the Soviet Union's An-225 super transport aircraft is only 30,000 horsepower, but the engine in my hand is 40,000 horsepower, once this kind of engine is successfully developed, our engine will be the world's largest horsepower engine, now the An-225 has a take-off weight of 600 tons, and the cargo capacity is 250 tons, and once our heavy transport aircraft is successfully developed, it will surpass this world record and become the world's largest heavy transport aircraft!"

Yao Yi smiled and said: "To engage in heavy transport aircraft, the most important thing is the horsepower of the engine, and the other is the material manufacturing technology, the manufacturing level of these two shows the manufacturing level of the heavy transport aircraft, but now we are more 'confused' is this material technology, the key to the aero engine is also the material, there is no ultra-high temperature resistant engine material, there is no light and tough titanium alloy manufacturing technology, the development of heavy transport aircraft is just a dream painted on the drawings, so, what do you think should be done about this matter!"

James was a little embarrassed, he heard what Yao Yi meant, but he also knew that it was not easy to meet Yao Yi's requirements, this high-tech material industry is a secret monopoly industry of various countries, and even the closest ally countries cannot teach each other, just take the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, it is close enough, but the British material industry is only a second-rate country in front of the United States and the Soviet Union, and many key materials need special imports.

Britain can import, but countries like Malaysia are not qualified to import, so there is really nothing to do in front of them.

In fact, this James was holding back in his heart, because he knew that even if the heavy transport aircraft project was not opened, as long as the super aero engine project started, it would be possible to introduce some 'fine' dense and key materials before it could be carried out by his hands, so as long as Yao Yi's funds entered, the project could only go forward, and there was almost no possibility of going backwards, otherwise, Yao Yi would lose all his money.

In this case, he James can justifiably get all kinds of expenses, after all, the price of that kind of high-tech material is not transparent, and I am afraid that no one knows that a project like a super engine, without more than a billion dollars of funds, is simply impossible, the largest of which is ' The cost of spending is the cost of materials, which is generally about 90 percent, so that what James lost in BHP Mining shares can be made up through the profits of confidential materials, which is the small calculation in James's heart.

Yao Yi did not take this layer into account, but Yao Yi knows a little aviation knowledge, and understands the importance of materials, in the previous life, China has been lagging behind in the military industry, especially in the engine, the main reason is that the material manufacturing industry is backward, so it can't build a high-thrust aero engine, and it is controlled by people everywhere, which is not comfortable, and even more, the aircraft carrier sea trial, can not buy a carrier-based aircraft interceptor cable and has to postpone the sea trial, all because of the problem of the material manufacturing industry.

The development of high-tech materials is one of the key research projects of Yao Yi's research center, so Yao Yi will not be confused in this regard.

However, where to go with the project in James's hands made James very worried,
