It is no longer possible to calculate the exact amount of the cost of Lanfang's investment in the development of helicopters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the beginning of the Corsican period, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Long Chengyuan to start developing helicopters, limited to objective conditions, the development of helicopters has not been smooth, until the arrival of Nikola Tesla, the development of helicopters has been sharply accelerated, and now it has basically entered the finalization stage.

Roughly calculated, Qin Zhiyuan probably invested less than 10 million before and after.

Calculated in this way, Qin Zhiyuan's offer of "one billion" is really a lot.

However, the value of scientific researchers cannot be measured by money, and the value of helicopters cannot be summarized with 10 million, and the price offered by Qin Zhiyuan includes the efforts of scientific researchers led by Long Chengyuan for several years, including the value of Nikola Tesla's genius thoughts, so it seems that "one billion" is not much.

Not to mention the fact that the helicopter itself is worth the price.

As for the attitude of the French in scientific research, this is related to the French political system, a democratic country, the country cannot devote an astronomical amount of money every year to the seemingly endless scientific research, unless it is the research and development carried out by some commercial institutions for commercial interests, and France really has no industrial leaders after the departure of Louis Renault, so the scientific research work in France after the World War is basically a state of stagnation.

If you don't have scientific research strength, and if you want to keep yourself not lagging behind in science and technology, you have to endure Qin Zhiyuan's seemingly greedy "blackmail".

"Having a helicopter and not having a helicopter are two concepts, first of all, the use of helicopters is not limited by the site, helicopters can be used in almost any terrain, which is important in the city, now the buildings are getting taller and higher, and the roof is a natural helipad, so there is no need to worry about not having a market. The more important area is in the military, helicopters can provide fire support to ground forces, can quickly transfer the wounded, transport supplies, helicopters can do almost anything, so if you think that the price of a billion is high, then you are wrong, the value of helicopters is much higher than this, I can tell you clearly, and only with France, Lanfang will consider this deal, otherwise there is no room for negotiation at all. "What Qin Zhiyuan said is not an exaggeration, if it were not for the French, Qin Zhiyuan would not talk about the transfer of technology at all.

Compared with the transfer of technology, the direct sale of aircraft is the most profitable, and the transfer of technology is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs.

Don't look at Qin Zhiyuan's offer of "one billion" that Paul Renault can't accept, if Lan Fang's helicopter is successfully developed, the French want to buy a hundred and ten planes, it will be almost this number, so calculated, Qin Zhiyuan's offer of one billion is really fair.

This "transfer of technology" and "authorized production" are two different things, once France acquires helicopter technology, France can produce helicopters for sale, then it will not be long before the money paid by the French will be recovered.

Paul Renault understands the twists and turns, but unfortunately Paul Renault does not have the economic strength of Louis Renault, so Paul Renault can only say with a little bitterness: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, this price will not get enough support." ”

The support here refers to the funds approved by the parliament, and every penny that the French government wants to spend needs to be approved by the French parliament.

"Then you can only purchase finished products, I can give you a promise, as long as Lanfang's helicopters are confirmed, your French government can get them as soon as possible." Qin Zhiyuan conceded to the greatest extent.

Selling helicopters to the French, of course, will cause technology leakage, but this is not a serious problem, and when the French thoroughly understand the technology of Lanfang helicopters, Lanfang will launch the next generation of helicopters, so that the French still have to pay for it, so it is not cheap.

But democracy is so strange that this suggestion, which is not very favorable to the French, was approved by Paul Renault: "Well, Your Majesty, shall we now speak of Jean Pierce?" ”

The French did not find Jean Pierce's body in the basement of Norodom Palace, so the French have reason to believe that Jean Pierce was taken by the Lanfangs and may now be being held somewhere.

"Jean Pierce? What's wrong with him? Qin Zhiyuan didn't admit it.

In any case, Qin Zhiyuan will not hand over Jean Pierce, although the French government's announcement that it will investigate the "Norodom Palace Basement Incident" to the end, but if Jean Pierce is handed over, it will be tantamount to handing over the biggest handle to the French, and then Lan Fang will fall into passivity in all aspects, instead of being as dead as now.

"Your Majesty, in any case, Jean Pierce still has his own family in France, his own wife, his own children, and you cannot prevent Jean Pierce from being reunited with his family." Paul Renault does not give up.

"Of course, I won't stop it, but I don't know where Jean Pierce is." Qin Zhiyuan pushed it cleanly.

While Qin Zhiyuan and Paul Renault were talking nonsense, Jean Pierce was at the Lanfang Helicopter Research Institute.

As the chief designer of the Renault factory, Jean Pierce knew many of the top executives of Lanfang, which ultimately saved Jean Pierce's life, and only Jean Pierce survived the "Basement Incident at Norodom Palace".

When he was first brought back to Lanfang, Jean Pierce was indeed very sad about what happened to his colleagues, but soon Jean Pierce forgot about the hapless researchers and focused on helicopter research.

Jean Pierce knew that it was indeed unfair to those colleagues who were killed in the "basement incident at Norodom Palace", but there was never such a thing as "fair" or "unfair" in the open and secret struggle between countries, and Jean Pierce was extremely lucky to be able to pick up his life, and asking too much was tantamount to asking for trouble.

But having said that, people are emotional creatures after all, and Jean Pierce has feelings for France, so Jean Pierce did not express any opinion on the progress of his work in visiting the Lanfang helicopter research.

Although no one came to explain to Jean Pierce during this period how the Lanfang government would treat him, Jean Pierce had already sensed the attitude of the Lanfang government, and the reason why the Lanfang government would open all the information to Jean Pierce showed that the Lanfang government did not let Jean Pierce go.

Lanfang does have many acquaintances of Jean Pierce at the top level, Zhang Tianyun, Minister of Industry, and Zhou Hongguang of the Air Force are very familiar with Jean Pierce, Zhang Tianyun and Zhou Hongguang are the representatives of Chinese workers in the Renault factory at the beginning, and it can even be said that they were taught by Jean Pierce, Zhou Hongguang later changed to flying posture, and then joined the Air Force, and Zhang Tianyun has been working in industry and working with Jean Pierce.

So during this time, Zhang Tianyun has always been accompanying Jean Pierce.

On the day Paul Reynaud arrived in Lanfang, Zhang Tianyun found Jean Pierce with a bottle of wine.

"What, this is the Last Supper?" Having experienced the killing of the "Norodom Palace Basement Incident", Jean Pierce can accept anything now, so when he speaks, Jean Pierce's voice does not tremble in the slightest.

"Old friend, don't think of us as so tyrannical, we won't treat friends like that." Zhang Tianyun's expression was sincere.

"Friends? I think your approach has tarnished the word. Jean Pierce was not polite, as if he had already understood life and death.

"It may be, but it is undeniable that it is you who do not act first, so there will be everything that follows." Zhang Tianyun does not deny that this kind of thing is half a catty.

"You didn't have to do this, at least you didn't have to hurt so many people, Bob Morrison, Phoebe Reed, Douglas Henrietta - can you relate to the feeling of being slaughtered like an animal in front of you?" Speaking of those colleagues who were killed, Jean Pierce was still a little emotional.

"Of course, I feel the same way, because when I hear that my comrades have been killed, I feel the same way." Zhang Tianyun smashed the same attack back.

Zhang Tianyun also has a military status, and strictly speaking, Zhang Tianyun is also a soldier, so Zhang Tianyun is not wrong to say that the pilot who died was a "comrade-in-arms".

"It shouldn't have been this way, it wasn't supposed to happen." Jean Pierce is not a lawyer, nor is he a politician, Jean Pierce is just an ordinary scientific research worker, so Jean Pierce still has a moral bottom line.

"Yes, all this should not have happened, but since it has happened, we should look forward, the dead are gone, and the living are like this." It took Zhang Tianyun a long time to translate the last sentence into French.

"Yes, we have to live on-" Jean Pierce grabbed the glass in front of him and drank it down, it really smelled of drunken dreams.

"Amy and Laman, they're on board." Zhang Tianyun was not in a hurry, and drank slowly with a cup.

Amy was the wife of Jean Pierce, and Raman was the son of Jean Pierce.

Jean Pierce had two sons and a daughter.

"You bastard, what are you going to do? You can do with me as you please, but you must not hurt my family. Jean Pierce was furious, jumped up and choked Fortune's neck.

"Calm down, you bastard—" Zhang Tianyun snapped Jean Pierce's hand away and motioned for the guards at the door to withdraw.

"Don't hurt Amy—don't hurt Laman—don't let me" Jean Pierce was emotional, twisting with Zhang Tianyun and refusing to stop, the roar in his mouth more akin to a roar.

"Calm down, we don't want to hurt Amy and them, but we want your family to be reunited, do you want to live alone in Lanfang forever?" Zhang Tianyun pressed Jean Pierce against the carpet and foamed at Jean Pierce's face.

"Reunion—reunion—" Jean Pierce stopped struggling.

"Yes, reunion, let, I don't want to lie to you, we will definitely not let you go, so you can only choose to join Lanfang now." Zhang Tianyun gave Jean Pierce the truth.

"Join Lanfang? No way! Jean Pierce was resolute.

"Impossible", the existence of this sentence itself is problematic, and there is really nothing in this world that is absolutely impossible.
