Chapter 80: Chengfeng’S Upgraded Version—15 Billion Meters Of Gold

At noon the next day, Jiang Cheng met with three navy representatives in the conference room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Before the loan, Jiang Cheng said that if the military wanted to trade and cooperate with him, he would not refuse.

Jiang Cheng is a businessman. Weapons and equipment cannot be sold to anyone!

Besides, Longguo’s financial resources are second only to the United States, and this is a big customer!

On the sofa in the conference room, Jiang Cheng stared at the three navy representatives. They were not wearing military uniforms, but uniform silver-gray suits.

From the temperament point of view, Jiang Cheng knew that these three people were at least generals at the level of generals.

"Mr. Jiang, you said before that World Industries will build a new warship manufacturing plant and allow us to order an upgraded aircraft carrier called Chengfeng.'

The person who spoke was called Zhao Qingshan. Judging from his appearance, he should be the person in charge of this negotiation meeting, and the other two people were foils.

"Yes, Chengfeng's upgraded aircraft carrier is a super big guy with a full load capacity of 160,000 tons. It can carry 128 carrier-based fighters. It has 4 nuclear reactors as its main propulsion power. Its top speed can reach 35 Festival." Jiang Cheng said unhurriedly.

"Top speed of 35 knots, 128 carrier-based aircraft..." Zhao Qingshan swallowed, his heart full of shock.

You must know that the current Dragon State only has experience in manufacturing conventional aircraft carriers, and it has only built one, and the other was purchased and modified from an aircraft carrier from another country.

To put it bluntly, it will take a long time for the Dragon Kingdom to be able to manufacture a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier on its own, let alone a 160,000-ton super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"Mr. Jiang, if the upgraded version of the Chengfeng is so powerful, then its cost must be an astronomical figure." A navy representative sitting in the back said in shock.

"The Chengfeng ship cost is about 6.5 billion meters of gold, excluding R&D costs. And the Chengfeng upgraded model uses new alloy materials and a variety of new technologies. Its single unit cost It's as high as 15 billion meters of gold." Jiang Cheng gave a brief overview of the upgraded aircraft carrier.

"The cost of a single unit is 15 billion meters of gold..." Zhao Qingshan's eyelids twitched, and he felt like he was in trouble.

This is too expensive. 15 billion meters of gold can only buy one aircraft carrier, and this aircraft carrier also needs to carry 128 carrier-based aircraft. Calculated in this way, the combined price of the aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft alone may exceed 20 billion meters of gold.

20 billion meters of gold is roughly equal to 130 billion dragon coins, which is simply an astronomical number.

You must know that the defense expenditure of the Dragon Kingdom last year was only 1.3 trillion Dragon Kingdom coins. Just purchasing an aircraft carrier, not counting carrier-based aircraft, would cost one-tenth of it.

Even if the Dragon Kingdom has strong financial resources, it is still too much to bear!

"I'm from the Dragon Kingdom, so the calculation is based on the cost price, plus some research and development expenses. I didn't make any money from you..." Jiang Cheng had an innocent expression on his face, and he continued: "If I transfer the Chengfeng's The upgraded aircraft carrier is put up for auction. Believe it or not, people will buy it for 20 billion, not to mention 15 billion meters of gold..."

Jiang Cheng is not telling lies. The United States may not be tempted by an aircraft carrier of this level, but countries like the small island country, Asan Kingdom, Korea, etc., can they not be tempted?

For these three countries, 20 billion meters of gold can still be obtained with grit, especially small island countries, which may have to buy it even if they sell it.

A small island country is sandwiched between two big countries, and there is a big country chained behind it. It is really uncomfortable for a small island country!

"Mr. Jiang, I can't refute what you said, but 15 billion meters of gold is too expensive..." Zhao Qingshan grimaced and began to cry about poverty.

"The price is this price. There is no way to lower it. After all, the cost is there..." Jiang Cheng shrugged helplessly.

His meaning is very obvious. Just because I am from the Dragon Kingdom, I can't sell it at a loss!

Jiang Cheng thinks about it, if Longguo wants to build an aircraft carrier of this level, it will not be developed for a long time. The total price of research and development and manufacturing will definitely exceed 20 billion meters of gold.

But what he has here is ready-made. Once the aircraft carrier is completed, it can be used after being pulled back.

"15 billion meters of gold, I will report this price to my superiors." Zhao Qingshan smiled bitterly and asked: "Mr. Jiang, if Longguo places an order, when will the upgraded aircraft carrier Chengfeng be available?" Once manufacturing begins, when can we deliver the goods?”

"As soon as the loans from commercial banks arrive, Huanyu Industrial will immediately start the construction plan of a new military factory. The military factory rebuilt by Huanyu Industrial will use a large number of robots and 3D printing technology. In general, starting from the military factory It will take about a year to build and launch the aircraft carrier." Jiang Cheng explained the relevant situation.

"One year, how could it happen so quickly..." Zhao Qingshan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

In his imagination, a 160,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would take 2/3 years to build!

"With the development of science and technology, the work efficiency of robots is several times faster than that of human-operated machinery." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"That's true..." Zhao Qingshan nodded in agreement and said: "Mr. Jiang, I came here this time just to understand the relevant situation of Huanyu Industry. After the construction of the military factory of Huanyu Industry is completed, the Ministry of National Defense will be dispatched Someone at a higher level will discuss purchasing matters with you."

'''Global Industries' new military factory will be built in Elijah, and its construction will take about three months. Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, why don't you put military factories in China? Ten years ago, our country encouraged private enterprises to enter the defense industry. Besides, it is safer to put it in China than Elijah. In terms of purchasing raw materials, It should be more convenient..." Zhao Qingshan persuaded softly.

"I would rather keep it in China, but I have a condition that you can't agree to." Jiang Cheng said helplessly.

"What conditions..." Zhao Qingshan's eyes lit up. If he could persuade Jiang Cheng to build a military factory in China, it would be a great achievement.

"The conditions are very simple. I am a businessman. I like free trade. You cannot interfere with whoever I want to sell to..." Jiang Cheng looked at Zhao Qingshan and said this.

"This..." Zhao Qingshan coughed and smiled. He gave up the idea of ​​persuasion. This was simply impossible.

If Jiang (De Zhao) Cheng wants to put the military factory in China, it will be a military industrial enterprise of the Dragon State. Such an enterprise will definitely be supervised by the Dragon State, and it is impossible to sell it to whomever he wants. Only the Dragon State You can only sell it after you agree, but that's the difference.

"Mr. Jiang, in that case, let's say goodbye first!" Zhao Qingshan stood up and said.

"Everyone, walk slowly..." Jiang Cheng also stood up and greeted each other politely.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, I have to kindly remind you that Tahar, the chairman of the International Nuclear Energy Supervision Organization, has already set off to fly to the Dragon Kingdom..." Zhao Qingshan turned around, dropped these words and left. .

Watching the three navy representatives leave, Jiang Cheng fell into deep thought.

Tahar, Chairman of the International Nuclear Monitoring Organization!

From this point of view, this person was coming towards him, probably trying to persuade him to hand over the Destroyer intercontinental ballistic missile.

However, don’t even think about it. If he doesn’t have this thing and loses the ability to grow mushrooms, then the United States will not kill him!
