Chapter 198: Shocking the World

"The surname of this special aluminum can be really strong, and the aluminum alloy made of it as a raw material can be steadily surpassed by the surname of aluminum-lithium alloy, which is more suitable for aerospace applications." Just when Zeng Rong was watching various reports on Heibao special aluminum alloys in the laboratory, an expert did not hesitate to praise him.

"Aluminum-lithium alloy? What alloy is that? Hearing this, Zeng Rong immediately asked.

"Aluminum-lithium alloy is lighter than aluminum alloy, and the production process of aluminum-lithium alloy is the core secret of strict confidentiality in various countries. However, according to the various surnames of aluminum-lithium alloy announced now, it is not as good as the aluminum alloy we are developing now! The expert said proudly.

"Aluminum-lithium alloy, the core secret of strict confidentiality? Can the surname be inferior to our current aluminum alloy? Listening to this expert's words, Zeng Rong seemed to see something.

"In this way, the price of aluminum-lithium alloy must be very high." Zeng Rong asked with a smile.

"It's not a question of whether it's high or not, it's that others won't sell it to you at all." The expert said seriously, "These aluminum-lithium alloys are basically used in space launchers, and are basically used in launch vehicles, spacecraft, or space shuttles. The lighter the weight, the faster and farther those spacecraft can fly with limited fuel! ”

"Spacecraft!" Hearing this term, Zeng Rong was immediately shocked. "In other words, these aluminum alloy materials of ours are more suitable for use in space vehicles?" Zeng Rong asked.

"That's of course, it's a bit wasteful to use on an airplane, and of course, if it's used on an aircraft like the F-22, it's okay." The expert said earnestly.

The F-22 fighter, the only fifth-generation fighter in service in the world. The cost includes the cost of research and development, and the cost of a single machine is more than 300 million US dollars.

"It seems that although the output of these aluminum alloys is small, they can take the route of high-end machines and aerospace equipment." After listening to the expert's explanation, Zeng Rong thought in his heart.

The market for space launchers is still good, and countries often launch various satellites, and several major countries have strategically aimed at space. All kinds of space probes, spaceships that can only fly once, space shuttles that can be used many times, it seems that these aluminum alloys can also be sold at a good price.

"I wonder if there is a very special kind of lithium in this world?" The expert suddenly showed a very fascinated expression, "Aluminum, iron, are so special, I don't know what amazing caste that special lithium will have?" ”

"What's the special surname of lithium?" Zeng Rong immediately asked.

"Lithium is the lightest known metal element on Earth, with only a quarter of aluminum, and even twice the density of water." Experts say.

"It's so light!" Zeng Rong said.

Zeng Rong seemed to say it casually, but Zeng Rong had a plan in his heart, the next target for Heibao to devour. It's lithium.

When he went back to check the price of lithium, Zeng Rong was surprised, the price of this metal reached six or seven hundred yuan a kilogram!

Zeng Rong estimated that according to Heibao's current appetite, it is no problem to swallow a ton of heavy lithium a day, although lithium is very light, and the volume of a meal of lithium is as large as four tons of aluminum. A kilogram of lithium is calculated at 600 Chinese dollars, and a ton of aluminum will cost 600,000 Chinese dollars.

According to the calculation that Heibao swallows pure metal, it generally takes half a year to reach the bottleneck period, and the price of the metal swallowed by Heibao within half a year must reach 110 million.

"Fortunately, when Heibao devoured the gold element, he devoured gold ore that didn't cost money." Zeng Rong thought secretly in his heart. If at that time, continue to feed Heibao iron, I am afraid that Heibao's body growth will be very slow, if Heibao hadn't found a gold mine and devoured a large amount of free gold element, Heibao would not have grown to this extent!

"Huang Tao, how much money does the company still have on its books?" Zeng Rong made a phone call to Huang Tao.

Military procurement, aluminum factories, arsenals, and cooperative motorcycle factories, the construction of ports have used a lot of funds, and there are other various beginnings, Zeng Rong does not know how much money can be mobilized in hand, but you can ask Huang Tao, Huang Tao must have accurate figures.

"Boss, there are more than 700 million Chinese dollars in liquidity that can be mobilized on the books." Huang Tao said.

Hearing that there were only more than 700 million, Zeng Rong sighed in his heart, this money is really fast! After a rough calculation, the benefits of 1,000 Chinese dollars per person in Kachin State alone have been used up to 300 million, and the initial investment in the port has also been removed by several hundred million, and the last time there was a large-scale military purchase and purchase in Europe, it cost 1 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 600 million Chinese dollars, aluminum alloy factories, arsenals, motorcycle factories, plus loans provided to local people to help them build a large number of factories, these things add up to the sales of Heibao Company's 4 billion US dollars, and almost spend it.

"Help me get a hundred tons of lithium, I'm useful, the purity doesn't need to be very high, it's best to be affordable." Zeng Rong said on the phone.

"Okay, boss, I'll let someone do it right away." Huang Tao immediately agreed.

"Also, special aluminum alloys can already be produced, but only two tons can be produced a day, I just asked experts, these special aluminum alloys are best used in space vehicles. You plan and see how you make a move. Zeng Rong commanded one more thing.

"Okay."

"One more thing." Zeng Rong paused and continued, "Auction off this year's ultra-high hardness steel as soon as possible, the army needs a lot of money to purchase weapons and improve the strength of the army." ”

"Okay." Huang Tao still quickly agreed.

In order to raise funds as soon as possible, Huang Tao quickly released the news that the auction of ultra-high hardness steel began to be auctioned, and the quantity was still 400,000 tons.

"Would you like more?" Hearing that Huang Tao was still selling 400,000 tons, Zeng Rong asked.

According to the current production capacity of the Heibao Steel Plant, there is no problem in producing 780,000 tons a year.

"Scarcity is expensive, 400,000 tons is just right, but more will bring down the price." Huang Tao explained.

It is precisely because it cannot provide the normal demand in the market that those buyers will grab, and this grabbing will raise the price.

If you produce more, you may be able to see the effect for the first time, but later, when the buyer knows that the supply is sufficient, he will not grab it and raise the price.

At the end of the day, it is very likely that there will be more things produced, but the profits will be reduced.

The news of the start of the auction of 400,000 tons of ultra-high hardness steel came out, and immediately, major multinational groups in demand gathered in Kachin State.

The average price last time was basically 100 million US dollars and 10,000 tons, but this time it has risen a little, about 110 million US dollars and 10,000 tons.

After a year of market testing, it not only proves that the ultra-high hardness steel produced by Heibao can be really good, but also proves that the manufacturers who use this steel have more gimmicks in advertising and better market response.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after more than a year of research by our company's researchers, special aluminum alloy materials have been produced, and next, we will provide you with a sample, as well as a detailed surname report, you can take it back and study it carefully." After the auction ended, Huang Tao suddenly announced such a thing.

When this matter was announced, it immediately aroused the interest of the audience. Heibao's company's special steel can stand at the pinnacle, so the special aluminum alloy materials they produce will not be bad there.

As a result, as soon as I looked at the information, those who knew this industry immediately took a breath! The surname of this aluminum alloy material is light, and it has completely surpassed any aluminum alloy material in the world!

Even beyond aluminum-lithium alloys! This is a special material developed entirely for the aerospace industry.

"In order to ensure fairness, our special aluminum alloy materials will also be auctioned in the form of an auction, which will be held in two months' time." Huang Tao said with a smile, "Moreover, the production process of this material is very complex, and the output is very limited, only about 20 tons can be produced in a day, and more than 7,000 tons can be produced in a year." ”

The advent of the first ultra-high hardness steel has attracted the attention of many media in the world, and this auction action has also attracted many big media in the world.

Soon, after the spread of the media, the emergence of a new type of aluminum alloy material immediately entered the ears of relevant manufacturers, experts and forces.

Zeng Rong would never have imagined that this time, the scope of attention and the degree of attention aroused would greatly exceed the advent of ultra-high hardness steel last time!

It is not impossible to get the hardness of the ultra-high hardness steel produced by Heibao, but it uses very complex alloy technology, such as titanium alloy. However, the price of titanium alloy is definitely more expensive than the ultra-high hardness steel produced by Heibao Company! A ton of titanium alloy scrap has to buy more than 30,000 Chinese dollars!

Titanium alloy, the compressor component on aircraft engines, is the titanium alloy used. Titanium alloy can also replace bones to make Chengren bones and implant them in the human body. A very small titanium alloy bone costs tens of thousands of dollars in the hospital! A titanium tooth on dentistry, so a little bit, is the price of hundreds and thousands!

The output of special aluminum alloys of Heibao Company is not high, but because it is too little, it has aroused the interest of all demanders!

The day after the media was in full swing, companies began to come to PR immediately! In less than five days, the world's major aircraft manufacturers have called inquiring!

And on the sixth day, Zeng Rong received a call from an old acquaintance!

"Zeng Rong, haha, I haven't contacted you for a long time, I heard that you are making a fortune in Myanmar!" Wang Lei's familiar voice came from the phone.

"Boss, why do you think of me?" Zeng Rong asked with a smile on the phone.

"Hey, it's not your aluminum alloy that came out, it knows our relationship, so let me make a line, what's the matter? Let's consider returning to your home country! Wang Lei said.
