"You mean a 120-horsepower steam engine, you've almost done it."

After listening to Xiao Baitu's talk about You Nanzhe's research on the steam engine, Zhao Shijie asked You Nanzhe directly.

This thing is not ordinary, we all know that the 120 horsepower steam engine is currently the largest power system research direction, if it can be studied, it will undoubtedly be a technological revolution for Australia.

"It's almost over, the final testing and assembly phase will be completed in the near future, and if everything goes well, mass production will be ready for actual work in the second half of this year."

The 120 horsepower steam engine will speed up the pace of development of Australian construction, and can more quickly link the towns that are currently scattered around the country by rail, so that the goods from each city can be quickly transported to each other's cities.

Take ordinary building materials as an example, at present, the main construction materials factories are in Manchester City, and only one steel bar is produced in Panzhihua Town, the distance between the two places is too far, and relying entirely on the original carriage pull transportation can not solve the transportation problem between places.

Therefore, the study of the 120-horsepower steam engine means that it is not difficult to build a railway, and in addition to the fact that the current railway has already begun to be built, as long as it is built, the locomotive can be completely built.

Among them, the 120-horsepower steam engine is an important part of the power of the train, without which it is impossible to complete Australia's official entry into the era of train transportation.

Xiao Baitu told everyone the news, which means that Lao You told them that they could take out this technology and share it with everyone here, Xiao Baitu is obviously a matchmaker.

However, what made Zhao Shijie a little curious was that since Xiao Baitu had met the local tripartite forces, he still didn't choose any of them to join, did he really plan to be a non-party person for the rest of his life, but it didn't look like it.

This guy threw out such a lucrative interest on behalf of You Nanzhe this time. It's definitely not that simple, is it a test of himself, Zhao Shijie looked at Hu Xijing beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and the two can already judge what the other party wants to say through eye contact.

Of course, this small action was not noticed by Xiao Baitu, and after Hu Xijing saw Zhao Shijie's question, he began to blink slightly, indicating that he was not sure.

"I'm going to share this technology with all of you, and we're going to fund a company that will specialize in the production and operation of 120 horsepower steam engines in the future. What do you see? ”

You Nanzhe personally opened his mouth to ask, it seems that this matter is indeed something that he has carefully considered, but it is by no means so simple to come up with this technology.

I'm afraid that the conditions offered by the other party must be something that they and others need to consider carefully, for the Zheng family's export of steamships, it can be said that Liu Yun and Zhao Shijie basically disagree, Liu Yun's statement has explained everything, so it is impossible for them to agree.

Then the problem is likely to be the ship research center, which requires a lot of financial support to do research, and can currently have this ability. In addition to the Northwest Consortium controlled by Hu Xijing, there are several other consortiums that have this strength.

Among them, the Southwest Consortium is the most powerful, Hu Xijing herself is not only the Minister of the Treasury and the Governor of the Central Bank of Australia, but also the CEO of the Southwest Investment Group.

You Nanzhe had other ideas. It is nothing more than to let the Southwest Consortium take a stake in the Ship Research Center, but the investment in the Technology Research Institute has not yet been involved in the various consortiums, and it is generally only an effective investment in its own enterprises.

As for investing in other people's research institutes, although you can get a lot of gains. But there are also risks, so several powerful consortia did not make decisions easily.

"Lao You wants the Southwest Consortium to take a stake in the Ship Research Center and allocate a certain amount of research funds every year. As a shareholder, the Southwest Consortium has preferential access to the right to produce and resell these technologies. Xiao Baitu replaced You Nanzhe's introduction, but directly answered for him.

Lao You leaned aside at this time, and Xiao Baitu spoke for him. Knowing that Xiao Baitu finished speaking, he opened his mouth to ask Hu Xijing if he was interested.

"Well, interest, I need an estimate of how much the annual research cost of your ship research center is, and I also want to make a firm determination about the products and technologies you have researched to confirm its value."

Hu Damei is worthy of being born in finance, and as soon as she opens her mouth, she has a lot of professional terms, as well as economic benefits and values, which are definitely not said by professionals.

"These are not problems, we can ask professional technical people to firm, and then set the price according to the results of the market."

Xiao Baitu is also a veteran and negotiator in the business field, and he returned to Hu Xijing instead of You Nanzhe.

"If that's the case, then I'm really interested," Hu Xijing smiled and looked at Xiao Baitu and said gently.

For You Nanzhe, he is also very reluctant to let others take part in his ship research center, which is a threat to his absolute leadership, once the proportion of the other party's capital exceeds his own, then he will completely lose his leadership.

However, in order to continue to maintain the current situation, the Ship Research Center must have major shareholders to invest in the shares, and the Southwest Consortium is indeed a good partner, and the cooperation between them can not only bring funds to the Ship Research Center, but also enhance the intimate relationship with Zhao Shijie.

This is a good cooperation for both parties, and if successful, the pace of the Ship Research Center law will also be accelerated, and the Southwest Consortium will receive a large number of priority rights from the field of technology patents.

So Hu Xijing is also a little moved, even if she is not moved by this, then she is also very tempted by the cooperation of the 120 horsepower steam engine, everyone knows that this will be a big revolution to change the field of transportation in the future, who joins earlier, who can earn the first pot of gold.

And this is just a bridge of cooperation links thrown out by You Nanzhe, and there will be more deeper cooperation between the two sides, so it depends on how much the centrists support him.

However, judging from Hu Xijing's expression, it is almost certain that the centrist will probably consider the conditions he will put forward next, and even if they do not fully agree, they will give some support, after all, the other party has given such a big benefit, how can it not come out with a little return.
