Chapter 217 Orders for Joint Defense
The hot sales of airship materials are inseparable from Kirov's use of the mud Olympics to build momentum everywhere.
Especially on September 15, North American time, it pushed airship technology to its peak.
On this day, the giant shark moored over the Empire State Building as promised, and the shadow of the forest enveloped the entire Manhattan neighborhood.
The citizens scattered on the streets of Niuyo looked up at the sky and were all stunned.
Big!
It's too big!
Some even screamed and shouted UFO.
Even the Wall Street tycoons fell silent at the moment, standing by the windows of their respective offices, looking out at the behemoths suspended in the sky.
Materials and technology stocks continued to move higher, but control was in Romney's hands.
Everyone now only expects the airship incident, just like the news revealed by Morgan, that the Hazara oil field is fake, and is ready to make a short return.
But the airships are already hovering overhead, how can it be fake?!
And such a classic picture also makes game lovers of Command & Conquer instantly become Xu fans.
"Kirov has appeared, will the apocalypse be far away?"
With all kinds of voices, Director Xu appeared on Time Magazine again, and it was on the cover.
It has a hound, a sunny smile in its arms, the ground is covered with mechanical Three Kingdoms, and Ajin and Ayin are placed on both sides, and the Kirov airship that occupies most of the cover is suspended behind it.
Regardless of whether the Iron Sheet Company turned a profit or not, he did bring Foreman endless wealth! ’
'Congratulations to Mr. Xu for being among the top five professional managers in the world! ’
At this moment, I believe Strauss regretted it very much. ’
"Yes, I am very remorseful, and I hope Xu Fei can return to TEP."
Strauss was interviewed, with tears in his eyes, "Our rupture must be Foreman's secret troublemaker!" ”
Pop was interviewed: "His talent is not inferior to me!" ”
Raymond was interviewed: "He always brings people different surprises, this is Xu Fei in my mind!" ”
Romney was interviewed......
Boston Police Department Orwell was interviewed......
Massachusetts Sheriff David was interviewed......
Texas Bob was interviewed......
Numerous praises have pushed Director Xu's prestige to the top.
This underage under the age of 18 was deservedly selected as the most influential person of the millennium.
Machinery Three Kingdoms, Transparent Electrical Appliances, Hazara Oilfield, Smash Bros. World Championships, Kirov Airship, Vacuum Smelting Technology, Large Module Plating Technology, New Nylon Fiber, Ultra-light Carbon Fiber Metal ......
Xu Fei received the news and was neither arrogant nor impatient.
In addition to asking the announcer in the factory every morning if he had read Time Magazine, he also asked the propaganda organization of the Youth League if it had a column.
In short, the deeds of Director Xu should be paid attention to!
It is best to grasp a typical example, and then hold a commendation meeting in the Beijing auditorium to inform the whole country.
And then.
Under the gaze of the head of the regiment, it obediently stopped.
Ran back to the workshop and continued to work on the raw materials of the airship.
Foreman sold the package and transferred the order to the Oriental Iron Sheet Company, which in turn licensed it to Daze Industrial OEM.
Thanks to the basic production line, tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons of raw materials, can be delivered on the same day as long as they are combined.
However, before delivery, the salesman should explain the quality of the material to the customer and take the opportunity to sell better quality.
For example, Foreman sells low-grade materials, and this side sells medium-grade.
For example, Foreman sells medium materials, and here sells high-grade materials.
In short, do everything you can to raise the amount of the order, and by the way, give the other party a preventive shot.
What makes an airship from inferior materials, up to 20% of the performance of Kirov.
What makes an airship out of medium materials, up to 40% of Kirov's performance.
What is 60% high, what is supreme 80%.
It's a pity that after filtering the customers, except for the tyrant-level oil country, which wants 100% and spends 2 billion US dollars on the spot to buy an original dismantled Kirov produced by the base, other orders have not changed.
"In the first round of experiments, most of them used low-grade and medium-grade materials, and after failure, they will definitely come back to buy medium- or high-grade materials, and if they fail again, they will eventually have to buy the Supreme-grade original."
"Low 500 million + medium 1 billion + high 1.5 billion + supreme 2 billion."
"In this way, it is better to buy one directly from the local tyrant oil country."
Of course, comprador and autonomous production are two different things.
Like the oil country, after picking up the goods, they have to pay 200 million US dollars in maintenance costs to their own side every year.
If the other party independently develops, all costs will be saved. 、
The question is who can develop it.
Xu Fei calculated the payment received, transferred a part of it, repaid the loan from the World Clearing Bank, and immediately asked the other party to apply for 5 billion US dollars for the purchase of crude oil.
When the material procurement project was in full swing, the arms orders of the North American military department were also completed one after another.
1.07 billion US dollars for Iron Sheet Company and 1 billion US dollars for United Defense.
Remove the cost, set aside the profits, first repay Pop's 200 million US dollars, let him speed up the mechanical hotel project of Wajima and Nanbangzi, and then repay Romney's 300 million US dollars, and keep the stock speculation proceeds to prevent Wall Street from counterattacking, and then repay Raymond and the People's Bank of China......
Wait for the sale of lightweight combat boots and other reduced version of the carrying equipment, and then pay the hard money to Director Xu.
The Dubai No. 1 airship is 1.5 billion US dollars, and the oil country No. 6 airship is 2 billion US dollars.
Coupled with the loan of the oil king and the 5 billion loan from the World Settlement Bank, the company can purchase crude oil worth about 10 billion US dollars this time.
At present, the price of crude oil has fallen instead of rising, falling to 13 US dollars per barrel.
It is estimated that Morgan noticed that the Hazara oil field was out of oil, suppressed the relevant news, and prepared to earn back the losses from 'OPEC'.
Therefore, the other party is crazy about purchasing crude oil, and his own family will not be on the list.
"Great Secretary!"
"Yes."
"Bingxiong's 8 US dollars/barrel crude oil self-production project, has it started?"
"The project is in charge of Zhang Shiren, and it is still being explored, and it needs to invest 14 billion rubles in the early stage, and according to the agreement, we need to pay ... Now the exchange rate between the US knife and the ruble is 1:27.7, about 500 million US dollars. ”
"When the loan comes down, you will first allocate 1 billion US dollars to him and give Bing Xiong a reassurance."
"Okay, by the way, the factory director, Lan Dong is also over there, I heard that the order for 100,000 Xiaohongqi cars has been completed."
"Hey, it's still our Uncle Lan."
Ice Bear's car is not very famous, but it does not mean that Ice Bear does not have its own brand, on the contrary, it is still very solid, because there are all industry oligarchs over there.
Lan Dong was able to negotiate an export order of 100,000 vehicles, and it is estimated that it took a lot of tongues and a lot of relationships.
Xu Fei finished the project at hand, picked up the information and took a look.
The airship construction period is a bit long, and even General Electric, which has a full set of technology, is estimated to complete the first round of tests by the end of the year at the earliest.
So, nothing happens in the near future.
Therefore, in the next few days, Xu Fei returned to his normal life.
After getting up in the morning, I first ran a lap around Osawa Power.
After breakfast, the newly produced combat uniforms were checked, and the stock of materials for the Kirov was counted.
At noon, I watched the filming of my own "Earth Crisis", ran to the set of "Star Wars" to learn and study, and then turned to the staff activity center to watch Zidane's abuse of little children.
At half past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I had dinner at the shift point, watched the Olympics with the employees, and went to the laboratory in the evening to learn about the research and development progress of various new products.
I worked until the early hours of the morning, returned to Xujia New Village, washed and bathed, and fell asleep.
Life is full and a little anxious.
Because as the Olympics progress, more and more realistic scenes coincide with the expansion.
plus the previous return of Australia and the Millennium Spring Festival Gala......
Let's take a look at the follow-up expansion, what virus, what mutation, what flood, what ice.
I panic when I think about it.
Of course, Xu Fei has known this for a long time, and he is also desperately preparing to make money.
But I can't bear more and more disasters, more and more serious, more and more outrageous!
……
A week later.
In the TV show, the female contestant who participated in the race walking competition finally appeared.
The schedule didn't change, the top five fouls were eliminated, the coaching staff left the court, and the women won the championship.
Only this time no one forgot about it, not only the red flag, but also countless loud applause.
"I'm kind of a game-changer."
Xu Fei cheered up and continued to use the Fox Trumpet to build momentum for his airship.
With the rise of airship technology's fame, countless doubts have followed.
For example, the 'three major concepts' proposed by the Iron Sheet Company.
There is nothing wrong with the stealth principle of the airship, but the airship is huge, and the contact surface with the radar wave is far greater than that of the aircraft, how can it effectively refract so many radar waves? Or absorption?
There don't seem to be such good absorbers at the moment, and there are no such cheap refractive paints.
In the case of the B-2, for example, it had to be repainted every time it was flown at a cost of up to $20 million.
Replaced by the Kirov airship, I am afraid that it will not cost hundreds of millions of US dollars to fly once.
This made many people suspect that the experiment of the Kirov airship in the depths of the Great Flat Ocean was a fraud.
Compared with airship stealth, air carriers are more controversial.
The main concern is the issue of cold start of heavy fighters.
At an altitude of 30,000 meters, you need to consider atmospheric pressure, oxygen content, and so on.
If the fighter plane is dropped directly, it will reach the ground in about 150 seconds according to the calculation of free fall.
In today's modern fighters, it takes at least three minutes to start the engine → self-test → start the engine → 80% of the engine speed → afterburner → propulsion.
Obviously, he couldn't react a little, so he fell into scrap metal.
However, Engineer Xu has not yet explained, and the North American military department is the first to jump out, claiming that NASA has long had mature technology.
And the 'auxiliary power system-APU' and the 'emergency power unit-EPU' can be combined into a new 'integrated power system', so that every heavy fighter that is thrown down can achieve static stability within 20~35 seconds, and then enter the normal flight attitude.
This was followed by a series of experimental data and photographs from the 40s to the 90s.
In short, even if the airship is about to ban Hangmu, my Uncle Sam is still the leading big brother of the home planet!
The controversy over the air came to an abrupt end.
The doubts about the 'airship launch platform' are much smaller than the first two concepts.
Because there is a thing called 'aircraft launch vehicle' technology, referred to as 'Pegasus'.
The principle is to use large aircraft to send a launch vehicle to the stratosphere, which then flies to outer space.
The purpose of this is not to save fuel, but to save manufacturing costs.
The most expensive rocket is the engine, if the aircraft is used to replace the first-stage rocket, the formation of repeated use, then, the launch vehicle with less first-stage rocket, does not need so much fuel, and does not need so much thrust, can completely reduce the size, reduce the number of engines and power, make the launch vehicle more compact, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost, shortening the launch cycle, and even eliminating the location of the launch plant.
Moreover, the engine of the first-stage rocket is the largest and the most expensive.
If this link is omitted, the cost of launching Pegasus is half of the cost of the ground.
There is no need to refill liquid fuel, and the launch time is several weeks shorter than before, with a maximum of ten hours.
If a satellite is carried out, the total cost is one-third of that of a ground launch.
Now switch to an airship......
Positioning is required before the rocket is ignited, and the high-speed movement of the aircraft leads to difficulties in positioning.
If the airship is used as an air launch platform, it does not need to move, the positioning is accurate, and the launch success rate is greatly improved.
The only trouble is that the plane can use its own speed to throw the rocket out, giving it a certain muzzle velocity, so that it can enter 8km/s as soon as possible, which is the first cosmic velocity.
The airship does not move, which is equivalent to raising the ground launch site to an altitude of 30,000 meters, although the air pressure environment is better than the ground, reducing the requirements of the rocket nozzle, but there is no speed, how to send the rocket into orbit?
It was proposed: the rocket is on the plane, and the plane is on the airship.
Some people also proposed: since fuel is not valuable, it is better to make the airship in the shape of a doughnut, add a circle of thrusters, wrap a solid-fuel rocket, fly directly out of the stratosphere, and then launch the rocket, and the airship will return to the home planet.
Such an assumption made netizens brainstormed, so that the picture of the doughnut wrapping the launch vehicle was played as 404.
But what to say about Wulun, the three major concepts are still concepts, and there is still a long way to go if they want to become a reality.
Fortunately, the Kirov airship that drifted across the ocean arrived in London, Berlin, Paris, the Holy See and other places, which greatly promoted the value of the airship.
Now no country or company dares to question its commercial attributes.
Therefore, airship materials continue to be popular.
…………
September 28th.
The mud Olympics are coming to an end, and the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are about to be ushered in.
Daze, Hongqi workshop office.
The person in charge of the administrative aunt, a fat aunt about 50 years old, is reporting on the materials that need to be procured for the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.
Red flags, red lanterns, red banners......
All kinds of mooncakes produced by FMC Oriental Company......
"Disposable things, too extravagant and wasteful, it is better to change to metal, it is best to fold it, and wait for the next festival, it can still be used."
"Okay uncle."
"The moon cakes are old-fashioned, don't make the skin layer by layer, slag everywhere, and the whole workshop is everywhere. Filling, choose what I like to eat, you know. ”
"Five kernels, egg yolks, walnut kernels, how much do each employee send?"
"Two boxes, 24."
"Okay."
"By the way, I heard that your third son got married and gave birth to a big fat boy?"
"Yes, now one and a half years old, the third secretary has been to the house on your behalf, sealed two thousand red envelopes, I said how to use so much, break the rules of our Huang Nigang, ten yuan is enough, and later return you one thousand nine hundred and nine."
"Etiquette or something, it's another matter, let's do it, let your third daughter-in-law bring the child over and let his cousin take a look."
"Okay, village chief."
Half an hour later.
The person in charge of the administrative aunt, with her daughter-in-law, left the workshop office beautifully.
When he met people, he boasted: "The village chief said, this is the successor of our village!" ”
"Hmph, my grandson is still the captain of the security team recognized by the factory director."
"Your horizons are small, my grandson is an African chief recognized by the factory director."
"Phew, that's because the village chief saw that your grandson was too dark, and he was stunned on the spot, and he didn't think of what position to seal."
"Nonsense, I'm fighting with you!"
Xu Fei looked through the window, looked at the noisy people in the distance, and happily returned to the office.
Let the other party take the child to take a look, the main thing is to make a mark, save the day it will be taken away, and look for it all over the world.
However, with Lou Xiaohu leading the patrol, the abduction and trafficking have been completely eliminated within the radar coverage.
While thinking, the person in charge of the purchasing department walked in.
"Factory director,Peony TV is bankrupt,Since we belong to the factory direct sales,Regarding the maintenance of our factory's 37,000 TVs,The other party proposed a compensation agreement。
"Everyone is bankrupt, and it's not that our family can't repair, so forget it."
"Okay."
"By the way, some time ago, the competition in the TV industry was quite fierce, why has there been no news recently?"
"The price war is over, and the current market is mainly Sony, Samsung, LG, Changhong, TCL, Skyworth, Konka, Haier, and Hisense."
"Buy a few Skyworth and Hisense's LCD screen TVs and come back,See who is cost-effective,Who's comfortable to look at,Who's going to buy it in the future。
"Okay."
After the establishment of FMC Oriental Company, the operation center also thought about launching a transparent version of LCD TV based on transparent electrical appliances.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Because it's really easy for your own family to build a TV.
Instead of the electrostatic aluminum alloy backplate, we use our own electroplated glass.
Improve the pre-voltage resistance of the backlight board to prevent the diode from turning on for several months.
Purchase a bunch of LCD panels, and the industrial robot automatically sticks and tears the film to eliminate dust, and then loads it into the inner frame made by itself.
In addition, it has its own circuit board, some wiring, and metal housing......
A new brand was born.
When the time comes, the goods will be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
If you want to have Daze in China, you want to have iron sheets in Germany, you want TEP in the United States, and you want national brands and the eldest son of the republic - Red Flag.
In this way, with its own production and channels, the existing brands in the market must not all go bankrupt?
Moreover, private enterprises, German enterprises, American enterprises, and central enterprises, who dares to say that they have a monopoly?
It's just that the profit is not high, and there are many domestic brands, Xu Fei thinks there is no need to get involved in this business.
Of course,If one day the price of TV rises,Fellows can't afford it,Or one day the quality of TV declines,There are more TV repairs,Then don't blame Director Xu for destroying flowers with his spicy hands,Directly reshuffle the TV industry。
"Actually,I've been using it for more than half a year,Peony TV is also pretty good,At least one of them hasn't broke."
Xu Fei thought about it, contacted FMC Oriental Company, and asked the other party to buy the peony, keep the licenses, not produce it for the time being, and then register the 'four major brands' respectively for later use.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, real-time information came from the TV.
Kling signed the Eastern PNTR Bill, which was voted on by the Senate and House of Representatives and became North American law.
At the same time, the election of the North American governor is in full swing, and Xiaobu and his competitors are like a difficult battle, and the outcome is unpredictable.
If he hadn't known about the internal decision, Xu Fei would have almost believed it.
"Secretary, trade negotiations, does it have any positive effect on our family?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's talk about it in two months, after all, the head of North America is about to be replaced, and when the time comes, take the sword of Shang Fang from the previous dynasty and behead the officials of this dynasty, do you think it is feasible?"
"Okay."
Xu Fei ignored the trade negotiation and logged on to the e-commerce system of United Defense to take a look at the other party's armament orders.
The Iron Sheet Company won individual equipment, and the United Defense Gang also won individual equipment.
The joint defense of its own is the chariot.
No one may believe it, but North America has been affected by the disintegration and deindustrialization of the woolly bear, and now there are no tank factories and no tanks, and only one old company is responsible for repairing and renovating.
Therefore, all M1 heavy tanks are stock refurbished, hence the M1A1, M1A2, M1A3.
Therefore, GM's production of M8 at Daewoo Main Plant is not a violation, which is called global procurement.
In this bidding for United Defense, in addition to the Bradley series of infantry vehicles that no one grabs and no one will build, the main project is still M8.
However, the original version belongs to the airborne type, this time it is mainly used on land, and it needs to be fused with the 'Stryker' chassis, and then the ground combat system is added, and it is replaced with a 120mm smoothbore gun.
The number is 1,500 vehicles, the unit price budget is about 4 million, and the total payment is 6.5 billion US dollars.
Also participating in the bidding are: General Motors, Ford, Lima Army Tank Factory, and Deutsche Collaein Company.
The question is, who will build the M8?
Only your own home!
Isn't this a free order?
"No, what is North America doing with so many tanks?"
