Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Need a Base
Yang Weiping did not give a positive reply to Donald's request, but asked with a smile: "Professor, how many pounds do you think this aluminum-lithium alloy is worth?"
"Priceless!" Donald shook his head without hesitation and replied: "The value of this aluminum-lithium alloy in the aerospace field is not to be said for the time being, but its political significance is also immeasurable! Since the northern bear researched the 1420 alloy, the Western Liberocene world has been under pressure, and European countries, including the United States, have invested huge sums of money in the research of the second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy, but none of the current achievements can be compared with the 1420 alloy of the polar bear. Therefore, Mr. Yang, your success is also the success of our British Empire, and it is also a great victory for the Western liberal and democratic world!"
It seems that this professor is not only an expert scholar but also a politician, but his business acumen is a bit unusual.
Yang Weiping smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he asked with a gloomy face and was not very happy: "Professor Donald, although I now have the status of a legal citizen of the British Empire, this does not mean that I have the obligation to dedicate my hard work to the British government for free!"
Donald was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly laughed in a sense of realization, "Yang, it seems that you are not only an excellent metallurgical material expert, but also a slippery businessman!"
"Professor, the pursuit of profit maximization is the essence that a qualified businessman must have. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "I have invested too much money, manpower and material resources in the research of aluminum alloys. I can say that I threw all my possessions into it, hoping to succeed in developing a valuable alloy and earning it all back. ”
"As much as you invest, I promise to make the government pay double the price for your patent!" Donald said.
Yang Weiping said quietly: "Professor, as far as I know, no country in Europe, including the United States, has invested less than 100 million US dollars in the research of the second generation of aluminum-lithium alloys over the years. ”
"Are you going to offer $100 million?!" the bearded Smith asked in shock, "You're just a lion's mouth!"
"Hehe, Mr. Smith, nothing is impossible in this world. Yang Weiping replied with a smile: "Of course, I can't ask for a sky-high price and make it too difficult for the British government." But if the British Empire can't give me a satisfactory quid pro quo, I'd rather take this alloy and talk to the Americans. ”
"What kind of conditions do you want?" Donald waved his hand to signal Smith not to interject, and looked at Yang Weiping like an old fox and smiled.
"Professor, can you be the master?" Yang Weiping asked seriously without answering.
"Yang, I still have some old friends who can speak well in the current cabinet and government of the British Empire. Donald smiled slyly and did not give a positive answer.
Yang Weiping lowered his head and pondered, walked back and forth for a while, and after about five minutes, he stopped, looked up at Donald, and said seriously: "Professor, the private security industry has developed quite well and maturely in the British Empire, and I myself am very optimistic about the future prospects of this industry. The main thing is that my future company, factory, and laboratory need a security company that I can trust to implement the necessary defense measures.
I have now registered with Panshi Security, which is based in Hong Kong. However, I couldn't find a suitable base in Hong Kong for my Rock Security company to conduct paramilitary training. I know that the British Empire has many abandoned and soon-to-be-abandoned military bases in Africa, and I hope to build the training base of Rock Security Company in Africa, and for this reason, I can promise to help the government accept and place a group of retired soldiers or police officers every year to become Rock employees. ”…,
"Well, your request is not excessive. Donald nodded and said: "You can offer to help the government solve the resettlement of a group of retired officers and soldiers every year, I believe that the officials of the Ministry of Defense and the cabinet will definitely consider your condition carefully." Yang, it can be seen that you are very sincere in cooperation. What other conditions do you have attached?"
Yang Weiping replied in a deep voice: "This depends on the location and scale of the abandoned military base that the British government and the Ministry of Defense can choose for me, and then we will discuss it in detail." Because, I believe, the value of different bases is definitely different. ”
"Hehe, Yang, although you say that you are a businessman, I don't see the greed of a businessman from you. Donald nodded approvingly and replied: "If you can sacrifice your position for the sake of the British Empire and share your worries, I believe that the gentlemen of the British Empire will not let you suffer." ”
"Since it is cooperation, of course, it must be mutually beneficial, so that it can last for a long time. Yang Weiping smiled calmly: "I have a principle in life, and I will try my best to satisfy both parties and win-win if I cooperate with me!"
"Win-win?!Both sides win, Ha Luha, Yang! This is a very apt word!" Donald smiled with satisfaction: "If you have always adhered to this win-win principle, I believe that your future achievements will be limitless!"
"Professor, then I'll take your word for it. Yang Weiping politely bowed to Donald slightly, and performed a typical English gentleman's etiquette.
Donald, who was full of interest, then chatted happily with Yang Weiping on the topics of metallurgy, materials, and machinery.
As the conversation deepened, Donald became more and more shocked by the depth of knowledge displayed by the young man in front of him, who seemed to be less than twenty years old.
Especially when it comes to the development and application of aero engine materials in the future, Yang Weiping called Mike, Tony, Jerry and Smith, who couldn't help but participate in the discussion, dizzy, and speechless.
"Yang, what do you think should be the development and trend of advanced materials in the engine of the unincorporated fighter jet?" Donald asked earnestly, acting as if he were an open-minded and curious student.
Yang Weiping replied without thinking: "Pay attention to the development of fighter engine materials, through the formulation and implementation of a series of advanced materials research plans, the development and verification of lightweight and high-strength materials, and provide technical support for engine development."
According to my research on the application of materials for active, research and pre-research fighter engines in various countries in the world today, I personally believe that resin matrix composites, titanium matrix composites, titanium-aluminum intermetallic compounds, single crystal superalloys, powder superalloys, ceramic matrix composites, ceramic thermal barrier coatings and other materials and their processes are application trends.
The development trend of advanced materials research is as follows: first, to develop low density and high strength to reduce mass, second, to develop high strength and high temperature resistance to improve the turbine inlet temperature, and third, to develop the integration of materials, processes and structural design to achieve the optimal combination of material properties and structure. ”
Seeing that Mike, Tony, Jerry, and Smith were all holding pens and recording on the notepad at this time, Yang Weiping suddenly stopped talking.
Seeing this, Donald's old face suddenly sank, and he yelled at Mike and the others: "You four bastards! Stupid pigs! Without Mr. Yang's consent, how can you record and plagiarize his research experience and results in front of him!? Immediately! Immediately! Tear off all the content you just recorded and burn it!"
Damn, this old man is really interesting, the subconscious meaning of your words is not to say not to be in front of me, you can summarize the record afterwards, right?
Yang Weiping secretly slandered to himself. Turning his face to look at Donald, who was obviously a little pretentious, he smiled indifferently: "Professor, don't be so serious. I'm just talking about some theoretical things, but of course, you can study and discuss this as a topic in depth and detail. This is just a superficial point of view on behalf of my own person, just a reference, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. ”…,
Falk Smith quickly put away the notebook intact, and only rolled his eyes at Yang Weiping, you Oriental If what you just said is superficial and not worth mentioning, then this postdoctoral fellow of Lao Tzu Tama has learned from dogs!
The Oriental Yankees are really the usual hypocrisy!
Mike, Tony, and Jerry saw that Smith hadn't torn off what he had just recorded, and the three of them did the same, and quickly hid the notepad in their hands.
Donald seemed to be blind at this time, pretending not to see it, but said to Yang Weiping seriously: "Yang, I suggest that you can take these academic studies in your mind and form a paper, and I can help you take it to the journal Nature for publication." I believe that your paper will definitely cause a great debate in the global academic community!"
Hearing Donald mention Nature, one of the earliest scientific journals in the world, and the most authoritative and prestigious academic journal in the world, Yang Weiping couldn't help but feel moved.
Damn, if this old man hadn't mentioned it, how could I have forgotten this magazine! Yang Weiping scolded himself secretly.
He is about to go to Europe to establish a laboratory, but he is now worried about how to attract many scientific research talents in Europe to join, you must know that he is now in the eyes of experts, professors and scholars in European countries, but he is an out-and-out hairy boy, why do people believe him!
Hurry up and find time to write a few academic papers and publish them in the journal Nature, which is the best way to enhance his status as a global scientific research and academic community!
As the saying goes, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is specialization in the art industry. My brother is not very old now, but the papers he has written will definitely surprise the scientific research workers in various countries in the world today, and cry out for evil.
Quack, Donald is really a good comrade, brother will thank you another day.
"Professor Donald, do you mean the journal Nature, founded in 1869 by Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer?" asked Yang Weiping, looking excited.
"That's right! Donald smiled and nodded and replied: "Yang, I think you are fully qualified to publish your personal views and opinions in Nature, science has no borders, academia has no borders, I believe that you will definitely become a genius who has caused a sensation in the global scientific community!
