Chapter 2109 Top Imperial Chef

"I ...... I need to tell this good news immediately, Mr. President! For a long time, the excited Thompson calmed down a little, and took out his mobile phone with trembling fingers.

Yes, Alice Group does not sell their ceramic engines, one of the main reasons is that Alice Group's ceramic engines are also different from traditional internal combustion engines, traditional civilian internal combustion engines are basically piston internal combustion engines, although Alice Group's ceramic engines are also internal combustion engines, but they should be classified as turbines, and the turboshaft engines used on helicopters are somewhat similar, but they do combine the economical and fuel-saving characteristics of internal combustion engines, as well as the high efficiency of turboshaft engines and turbofan engines.

The engine is very technical and equally expensive, and there is speculation about how Alice Group will be able to reduce the cost to the point where it is now...... Although the same model, Alice Group has three types of power systems to choose from: traditional internal combustion engine, ceramic engine and fuel cell pure electric, regardless of the traditional internal combustion engine, ceramic engine models are generally more than 50% more expensive than traditional internal combustion engine type cars, and fuel cell power is naturally more expensive.

But for ceramic engines, if they are manufactured with traditional metal materials, the cost will be so high that they cannot be used at all, Rolls-Royce has a model equipped with a turboshaft engine, the price is more than 300,000 pounds, this price is not at all affordable by the majority of the middle class, but the problem is that the cost of ceramic engines produced by Alice Group is higher than that of traditional internal combustion engines...... The models produced by the Alice Group have always been aimed at the middle class to the wealthy with an annual income of more than $80,000.

However, although the ceramic engine produced by Alice Group is not a traditional piston internal combustion engine, it also produces high-performance special composite ceramic accessories for traditional internal combustion engines, of course, it is only provided in small quantities, and the customers are also Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani and a few other well-known international sports car companies, so they use special composite ceramic pistons, cylinders, connecting rods and crankshafts produced by Alice Group with lighter weight and better performance, because of the high temperature resistance characteristics of ceramics. So much so that after using the accessories produced by Alice Group, these manufacturers can even directly use air cooling as the engine cooling method, saving a lot of weight for the whole vehicle.

Ford itself does not produce high-performance sports cars, or they do not produce European-style supercars, but produce American-style supercars In addition, now Ford has to participate in a large number of international competitions every year to improve Ford's influence in the world, so Ford has to purchase a batch of spare parts from the Alice Group every year for modification and high-performance parts of the car, but before that, the Alice Group has never provided high-performance ceramic parts to the models provided by Ford to the military, Jill's decision is a precedent for Ford Motor to cooperate with the Alice Group, so it's no wonder Thompson is so excited.

Jill smiled silently, in the past, Alice Group only provided a limited part of the high-performance ceramic auto parts to the market, which of course there are factors to increase the price of ceramic auto parts, on the other hand, it is indeed a cost factor: even if it can be manufactured, the cost is not low. But now Alice Group has reduced the cost of ceramic auto parts to a very considerable extent, and can provide a large number of high-performance and high-quality composite ceramic material key auto parts to the market.

It took ten minutes for Thompson to be considered Bill. After Ford finished the call, Thompson, who hung up the phone, walked quickly to Jill, excitedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jill, and halfway through his hand realized that his move was a little abrupt, if it was a man, of course there was no problem, but Jill was a big beauty, and his behavior was inevitably a little abrupt, so he retracted his hand again and said to Jill excitedly, "Miss Jill, thank you, thank you......"...,

"You're welcome," Jill smiled modestly, now it was just a preliminary verbal agreement, but it was just a beginning, how to do this business, and then there was still talking, not in a hurry, so he smiled and said to Thompson, "Mr. Thompson, if I were you, then I would be close to Mr. Tom first...... Today's protagonists are not the two of us, but Mr. Tom. ”

This is not wrong, whether it is the Alice Group or Ford Motor, there is only one purpose for coming here today, that is, to sell the military vehicles designed by their company to the United States...... Don't think that all the people in the U.S. government and the military are serious about doing things, just like the Celestial Empire, for the "little officials" who do specific things and hold some power in their hands, whether in the Celestial Empire or in the United States, everyone can't afford to provoke them, and they need to be served with "good wine and good food".

It was only at this time that Thompson seemed to notice the existence of Major Tom, although Thompson was the chief designer of Ford Motor in the design of military vehicles, it did not mean that this guy was a pure technical officer...... Whether the Ford Group's car can get an order from the military ultimately depends on what Major Tom's report says...... He apologized to Major Tom again and again, "Mr. Tom, I'm really sorry for what you did just now. ”

Tom does have a fire in his heart, and whoever is ignored for a long time before discovering it, it is impossible to be happy in his heart, not to mention that Tom also has a considerable say in the procurement of military vehicles by the United States. But Tom also saw the reason why Thompson "turned a blind eye" to himself just now, and knew that it was not because this Mr. Thompson deliberately ignored his existence and embarrassed himself, but because he was too excited after hearing the news of the Alice Group.

Mr. Thompson was so excited, why not himself? Wasn't he excited to hear Jill say that he could supply ceramic engine parts to Ford?

Two people who are excited for the same reason, it is always easy to find a common "topic", and it is easier to forgive each other for the mistakes they have made because of this, Major Tom, who has always been harsh in his treatment of things, understood Thompson this time rarely, and said coldly, "Mr. Thompson, you are late this time...... I'll put that in the report. ”

Thompson's late arrival in the test report was included in the test report, in other words, and that was the end of the matter, and although there was no smile on his playing card-like face, Thompson was satisfied: who didn't know that Major Tom was notoriously difficult to deal with? It's really good that this matter can end in this way, and he nodded again and again, and said apologetically, "Yes, yes, it should be." ”

"It's getting late, two," said Major Tom, looking at the table, "and let's get started." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The news that Alice Group had provided the multi-purpose high-mobility and high-protection general-purpose military vehicle to the domestic military for testing spread throughout the cyber world almost overnight...... These days, there's really nothing to avoid the Internet.

Regardless of the views of the European and American media and netizens, domestic netizens were immediately divided into two major factions, one in favor and one against, of course, based on national feelings, there were many more people who opposed it than those who were in favor, and the Internet was overwhelming with scolding for the Alice Group. …,

It's just interesting that in the scolding war, those who oppose it can't say anything after scolding two sentences, but those who agree with it have something to say.

"I really can't believe that there is such a thing, are all our officials blind and deaf? How can the Alice Group be allowed to supply these military equipment to other countries? A netizen with the screen name of drinking old wine in the middle of the night scolded indignantly on a famous forum in China, "And Alice Group, what are they?" Traitorous! They are a bunch of traitors! In vain, Lao Tzu still thinks that he will have money to buy their Alice Group's car in the future, Lao Tzu swears here today that the turtle son will buy the Alice Group's car, and the post will be used as proof, otherwise Lao Tzu will have a son without an asshole. ”

This is vicious enough, but the old man below immediately sneered at this old man, "I said upstairs, do you know what military export is?" Alice Group sells their military vehicles to Midi and is it called a traitor? Then our country exports billions of dollars a year for rifles, artillery, self-propelled guns, tanks, armored vehicles, airplanes, warships, etc., and all of us know that what our country exports is better than what we use ourselves...... According to your logic, is it true that our country has already begun to sell the country? ”

The brother downstairs and the brother obviously held the same point of view, and replied to the post, "That's it, what era is this, and talking about these messy things, according to the brother on the second floor, then the Americans sold the steam catapult used on their aircraft carrier to the French, isn't that a tiger relic?" It is recommended that those on the second floor go to the national defense forum first to study and study the principles and policies of our country's arms exports, and then talk about it, if you don't understand anything, you will be here and beep and beep and keep being stupid...... Support the Alice Group to gain prestige outside the territory and add glory to the arms export of the Celestial Empire! ”

………………

In general, those who scold their mothers are scolding themselves for being really blind over the years, and they are so supportive of Alice Group...... However, the interesting thing is that these people who claim to support the Alice Group have usually paid lip service to them, and basically have never bought a motorcycle or a car of the Alice Group, in a more fashionable phrase, that is, "pure support".

It's really "pure", and there's nothing but a little bit of saliva.

As for those who praise and remain neutral, they are basically able to look at this matter with a relatively calm attitude, in their opinion, this is just a very ordinary military export trade, if there is anything different from the military export trade of the Republic in the past, there are only two,

One is that the exporters this time are different from the past. In the past, the trade in military products of the republic was mainly carried out by the two major military industrial giants in the country, civilian companies or joint-stock companies? In addition to the Alice Group, are there any other private or joint-stock companies in China that can produce military products? Well, except for those who produce canned food, quilts, socks, and the like.

Of course, it is impossible to tell the people at home about the republic's military export trade in the past...... It's just a bunch of grass people, what qualifications do they have to know about these national events?

The second reason, of course, is the object of this trade. Who did we trade with in the past? The poor brethren of Asia, Africa and Latin America are the kind of country that grits its its teeth and squeezes millions of dollars out of their teeth to buy some bargains for the Republic, the United States? When did our weapons ever be exported to the United States? To put it mildly, it is not necessarily rare for our things to be given to the US imperialists for free, and they also export weapons to the United States?

There must be some conspiracy in this!

"So I think I'm wronged," Zhang Lan said, her face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, "Isn't the charge given to me by these guys the same 'unnecessary' virtue that Qin Hui gave Yue Fei back then." ”…,

Hu Ruoxi snorted and laughed, the little girl covered her mouth, her face was delicate, she just smiled, deliberately pursed her lips, showing a disdainful look for Zhang Lan, "Hmph, I don't believe it, if it weren't for some people deliberately spreading this news and adding fuel to the fire, how could this matter that should be very confidential be known to everyone?" ”

Looking at Hu Ruoxi with a wicked smile, Zhang Lan's face was "stupid": In other words, this matter was really promoted by Zhang Lan behind the scenes, if it wasn't for Zhang Lan's instructions, this incident would not have appeared on the Internet at all...... When the Internet is so magical, the Western Hemisphere farts, and the Eastern Hemisphere immediately knows?

However, in Hu Ruoxi's view, Zhang Lan's approach is a bit of a suspicion of deliberately scolding herself: You said that the country agreed to you export military cars to Lao Mei and transfer money from the US Department of Defense, but you can secretly find a place where no one is there and have fun by yourself, why do you want to make trouble known to the world? I don't know that the national self-esteem of the common people is now extremely inflated, and they have to "go online" for the slightest little thing...... The development of the matter also proves the "prescient" of Hu Ruoxi's words, and there is really a lot of scolding on the Internet for the Alice Group's practice of exporting military vehicles to the US imperialists.

"I really don't understand what you think, isn't it good to make a fortune secretly, no wonder everyone is stuffy and rich," the little girl was very proud, but it was rare for her to have such an opportunity to reprimand Zhang Lan, she finally found a good opportunity, and she had to show off her well? "I see, you're just scolding."

Zhang Lan smiled bitterly, being the "black hand" behind the scenes, of course, not to find scolding, speaking of which Zhang Lan was also very depressed, why did other people's exports to the United States be praised, everyone thought that this guy had won glory and added color to the country, and he exported more technical things to the United States, but in the end he won a lot of scolding?

Shaking his head, I don't want this.

Zhang Lan, who was depressed, took Hu Ruoxi's soft hair and said with a smile, "Let's go, go out with me." ”

"You want to eat, don't you? A lot of words" The little girl nodded very understandingly and asked.

Zhang Lan has a little bad habit, when she is in a bad mood, she will find a place to eat and use food to vent the depression in her heart, and this food is not limited to those big hotels in the capital, some of the more famous snacks, this kid will also be unceremonious to "comment" in the past.

"Yes," Zhang Lan nodded, laughing at herself, "If you come out in a bad mood and have a big meal, you won't have any opinions, how about it, this method is good." ”

"Hehe......"

The little girl smiled and bent over, and it took a long time to straighten up and beat Zhang Lan twice, but Hu Ruoxi was like a willow, and this little fist hit Zhang Lan, how could the "rough-skinned" Young Master Zhang care? Of course, when the little princess expressed her attitude, Zhang Lan also had to "correct her attitude", and the young master Zhang, who was uneventful, deliberately wailed with a sad face, but there was no pain in his voice, and he suddenly provoked Hu Ruoxi's coquettishness.

After some fun, naturally Zhang Lan took advantage of it, and the little girl was slightly panted by Zhang Lan, and her delicate body was weak and weak, so she had to raise her hand to surrender, "Hehehehe...... Okay, okay, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, don't go out today, by the way, I know there's a place to make a good dish, why don't we try it? ”

"Huh?" Hearing the food, Zhang Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, at this moment, Zhang Lan had already turned into a foodie, and asked Hu Ruoxi impatiently, "Is the master of this place very powerful?" ”。

"Of course," Speaking of this, Hu Ruoxi, who has always been proud, suddenly showed admiration, "It is a private restaurant, a master who used to cook for Grandpa Jiang, and later when he got older, he was approved by Grandpa Jiang to let the old man retire and reveal, and opened a private restaurant on the second ring road, and occasionally Grandpa Jiang would ask the old man to go back and cook a few specialty dishes for him." ”

Zhang Lan was suddenly in awe.

This is a top-notch, experienced to the point of almost demon imperial chef, Zhang Lan has not eaten the food made by the imperial chef, every time he comes to Brother Hu's house for dinner, the natural meals are personally entertained by the imperial chef, this is naturally no doubt, the meals that can be provided to Brother Hu, considering the leader's body, nutrition and other factors, in fact, the taste is not the most important, but must be digested by the leader and try to ensure the health of the leader, such as those foods that are too greasy, they can't be on the leader's table anyway.

However, if this imperial chef opened his own private restaurant, it would be completely different.
