A series of data that popped out of Yao Chongshan's mouth completely stunned Li Yifan.

In the past, he only knew that Yao Chongshan later relied on his unique skills in the 3D printing technology industry to become a master in this field, but he didn't know that this person still knew so many things about business.

Especially as a tech-savvy otaku specializing in technology, he still knows so much business data, which is definitely not something he can imagine.

"Brother Xiao Li, I'm not bragging."

Yao Chongshan, who had drunk a little too much, regarded Li Yifan's shocked look as a slight hesitation at this time, so he immediately explained to him.

"In recent years, the country's economic development has been rapid, especially in the south, the private economy has developed rapidly, and countless factories of all sizes have been launched, and the demand for electricity is very large. Whenever the peak of electricity consumption in summer, some places even have to take measures to limit the time of power supply, and cut off the power in some areas in turn to ensure the power supply of the industrial zone. The power supply has always been strongly controlled by the state, and the constant complaints of local governments at all levels have also attracted the attention of the central side, so in the first two years, the Finance Committee began to organize experts and scholars to conduct a large-scale survey on the power supply and use of the country, and then formulated a series of expansion plans for power infrastructure, and power companies are large customers of large-scale steel casting and forging parts, so my mentor is an expert in steel casting and forging. I was also fortunate to participate in the nationwide mapping of the supply and usage of stores led by the electric power company, and also participated in the formulation of a series of subsequent plans. I was also fortunate to be by my teacher's side and participate in the development of the plan. That's why I know so much stuff. ”

Yao Chongshan's words. Let Li Yifan nod. It seems that the Finance Committee has not only raised prices and defended price increases, but has also done a little bit of practical things.

"Now the country's power supply enterprises, most of the use of the old generation of thermal efficiency boilers, this kind of boiler in the current world pattern, has been outdated, not only low thermal efficiency, but also poor power generation efficiency, so this new store expansion. Many power companies are trying their best to use supercritical boilers. In fact, this kind of boiler has been used in foreign countries for a long time, and we have also used this kind of boiler in the two nuclear power plants built a few years ago, and the effect is much better than that of the ordinary old generation boiler, and the thermal efficiency should be increased by at least 15 to 20 percent. The use of a new generation of supercritical boilers, it is necessary to use a large number of new generation of cast and forged steel fittings, and according to my understanding, such large cast and forged steel fittings, at present, only a few manufacturers in China can produce. However, the cost of production is high, and both Baosteel and Anshan Iron and Steel can produce it. However, they produce such casting and forging parts, from the blank to the final yield rate, it is only about 50 percent, such a low yield rate, resulting in their product cost is high, compared with Japanese accessories in the market, there is almost no comparison, so many power supply enterprises, almost all willing to choose to import Japanese products, so calculated, just every year China's power enterprises, the purchase of Japanese casting and forging steel parts, the foreign exchange required is as high as nearly billions of dollars. ”

Yao Chongshan's words almost made Li Yifan's eyes shine, billions of dollars a year, how big a market does this have to be?

And in the next ten years, according to his understanding, China will embark on a crazy expansion of power supply, large and small thermal power, hydropower projects are launched one after another, even if he can only get a tenth of it, I am afraid that it will be more than a billion dollars a year business!

What a big piece of cake!

"In the past two years, my teacher and I have also gone to companies like Baosteel and Anshan Iron and Steel to study their processes and processes for producing such large-scale casting and forging accessories, and we found out later. On the one hand, they are lagging behind Japan in terms of process when smelting molten iron, and on the other hand, when they process those castings and forgings in the later stage, they are not very good at molds and processing processes. It is precisely because of these reasons that the main reason for the low yield of the products they produce. However, due to various reasons, these companies do not have a strong desire to change the production process and process, which leads to the fact that in the next few years, we may have to import goods from Japan in the field of large-scale casting and forging parts. Later, I have been thinking that if we can develop a suitable 3D printing technology to develop a new generation of molds, and then use a large number of casting methods to manufacture these accessories in the later stage, we can save a lot of process steps in the later stage of production, and can also improve the yield rate, save production time, save the cost of production materials, and greatly improve our production efficiency. It's a pity that my teacher was too conservative, he thought that my idea was a bit whimsical, and this 3D printing technology was just a flash in the pan, and it was impossible to really become a pioneer of future technology...... Ay! ……”

Speaking of this, Yao Chongshan immediately became depressed, and Li Yifan understood him very well.

After all, those who have been engaged in scientific research in China in recent years, especially the older generation, now occupy the commanding heights in the field of scientific research, so they are often respected as teachers and experts.

However, it is their generation that has now become a stumbling block to the development of domestic science and technology, especially some so-called 'experts'.

They have never been abroad, they have not been influenced and educated by the scientific research attitude of daring to 'question' abroad, they have received a submissive education in China, under this kind of education system, you are absolutely not allowed to challenge authority, what the teacher says is right, if you want to doubt, then you are deviant.

Moreover, their generation did not have any professional training in the early years, and generally went to university after the Great Movement, and after the reform and opening up, they were shocked by the tide of Western culture and science and technology, and were shocked enough by foreign science and technology.

In addition, for so many years, we have not developed any technology that can compete with the West, so in their hearts, they have naturally thought that we are a head shorter.

If we want to play innovation, we can't play others, so it's a waste of money to engage in innovation, and it's better to honestly follow the ass of other Westerners.

Why don't you buy a ready-made one yourself? It is such people who can occupy the high-end of China's scientific research field, which has led to China's long-term stagnation in the field of science and technology, and can only survive by buying some outdated patents from abroad.

And Yao Chongshan's idea of overtaking in a corner at this time and finding another way is of course deviant and ridiculous in the eyes of people like his teacher.

But Li Yifan doesn't think so, and it is precisely because of this that both of them are optimistic about the important impact of 3D printing technology on the future development of science and technology, so Yao Chongshan, who has always been a little proud, will quietly regard him as his confidant.

"Rub, they don't support you, I support you. Anyway, I'm very optimistic about this technology, Brother Yao, don't worry, as long as you are willing to come, I am absolutely willing to invest money in it, I can't see results in a year or two, it doesn't matter, it's okay for three or four years, as long as you can finally get what you want out, then it's done. ”

"Really?"

Yao Chongshan was also a little excited, if Li Yifan had said this when he hadn't revealed his net worth, he might have thought that Li Yifan was bragging B, but now Li Yifan has revealed his identity.

The eldest young master of Zhengyang Hotel, the young owner of Phoenix Distillery, the founder of Red Lantern Dairy, a young and easy figure who makes hundreds of millions of dollars, such a person is willing to invest money in himself, then he is still afraid of hair.

This Yao Chongshan still underestimated Li Yifan a little, but it is understandable, after all, for scientific researchers at his level, there are not many high-level rich people who can be contacted, so he estimates that Li Yifan can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and he doesn't want much, as long as he invests tens of millions of dollars every year, he can get this 3D printing technology for you.

If he knew at this time that Li Yifan's net worth was already more than 10 billion yuan, and he could give him 100 million dollars in scientific research funding every year, he would have to faint happily.

"Is that still fake? I have studied those large foreign companies, their way to make a fortune, is willing to spend money on research, as long as they can finally get the technology, master the unique skills, then in the future they will be able to enter a seller's market model, when the time to make money is not the same as picking up and playing? So Brother Yao, don't worry, you want you to join in, and I'm looking for a few helpers for you when the time comes, hehe, every year I will allocate you at least no less than 100 million, what do you think!? ”

Li Yifan said to Yao Chongshan with a smile, and Yao Chongshan just started to hear Li Yifan say that when he wanted to find a few helpers for himself, he was still a little unhappy, what? Doubting my abilities?

But when he later heard that Li Yifan's annual scientific research allocation for himself was at least not less than 100 million, his originally half-drunk mind immediately felt as if he had been poured a scoop of cold water, and he didn't care about Li Yifan's idea of finding a helper for him.

"Dude, I heard you right!? You repeat, how much research funding do you give each year!? ”

"Hehe, you heard me right, I said that the annual scientific research funding is at least 100 million!" (To be continued......)
