Resource Tycoon Reborn

But it is also very helpless. Only four countries in the world can produce steel for aircraft carriers, and the output is not high. @乐＠@小＠说 | Among them, the steel for aircraft carriers in the United States and Russia has never been exported to the outside world, and only between governments The deal was only able to be obtained. In order to obtain Russian aircraft carriers and use steel to renovate and repair the Varyag aircraft carrier, China paid a considerable price. This was because of the secret promotion of the Fang family. Otherwise, the Russian government would simply Don't consider it.

Aircraft carrier steel produced in France and Japan can be exported in small batches, but there is a clear gap in performance compared with aircraft carrier steel from the United States and Russia. It is okay to manufacture small and medium-sized aircraft carriers or helicopter carriers. If you want It is beyond our capabilities to build a large aircraft carrier that can carry a fleet of high-performance carrier-based aircraft. However, the steel for aircraft carriers developed by the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute is not as good as that of the United States and Russia in various indicators. Aircraft carrier steel has surpassed the aircraft carrier steel produced in France and Japan, pushing China's aircraft carrier steel production level to the third level in the world!

Although the public indicators of aircraft carrier steel in the United States, Russia, France and Japan do not represent its true final level, perhaps they all hide aircraft carrier steel with better indicators and keep it secret, but Pingchuan District Smelting The significance of the aircraft carrier steel developed by the Technology Research Institute is still something that no one can ignore. At least, when the Varyag aircraft carrier is renovated and repaired in the future, the country will not have to worry about Russia getting stuck in its neck. Moreover, with this With a good foundation and continued research and development, it is very likely that within a few years, the performance index of aircraft carrier steel will be pushed up to 800 MPa, which is basically the same as the lower limit of aircraft carrier steel announced by the Americans.

Moreover, aircraft carrier steel can not only be used in the construction of aircraft carriers, but also in the manufacture of submarines, which can significantly improve the performance of domestic submarines. This is also extremely important for national security. Meaningful. Therefore, the military wants to take it completely into its own hands. This idea is completely understandable.

But from another perspective, this approach is undoubtedly very hurtful. First of all, this will make Fang Mingyuan dissatisfied. Although the detailed research and development costs of aircraft carrier steel have not been announced by the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute. But it certainly will not It is a small number. If it can be developed with only a few hundred million yuan, then there will not be only four countries in the world that can produce steel for aircraft carriers. Countries with equally developed steel industries, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy, will Do you care about this mere R&D expenditure of several hundred million yuan?

Although Fang Mingyuan also learned from Fang Mingyuan that the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this project, and it took several years to get the results. However, the real research and development costs are not simply calculated in this way. No Fang Mingyuan invested heavily in special steel formulas. A large number of formulas were obtained from Russia and Ukraine, and researchers naturally could not find breakthrough points by analogy. Moreover, the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute was able to establish and gather experts from multiple The R&D personnel of the steel company. The Fang family also paid a lot of money for this and transferred considerable benefits. Moreover, in order to ensure the research and development of special steel, the entire Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory became a test plant for formulas, among which How much has been gained and how much has been lost, how can ordinary people clearly calculate it? There are also the salaries, benefits, and preferential treatment received by the R&D personnel of the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute, and the preferential treatment received by their families. Which of these things is not money?

What’s even more troublesome is that R&D work is not guaranteed to be successful if you invest money and manpower. There are countless precedents where huge manpower and financial investments were completely wasted in the end, and this is exactly what technology R&D is.

The charm is that the risks are huge, and the benefits are also extremely huge. Once successful, you may get ten times or a hundred times the benefits, and even lay the foundation for the birth of a giant.

A return of one billion and two billion U.S. dollars, five times or ten times the number of R&D personnel, cannot even be considered for Fan Mingyuan’s investment in steel for aircraft carriers, and it cannot even be considered to ensure a balance of payments, and those scientific researchers who develop steel projects for aircraft carriers

, is a priceless treasure. Not to mention how difficult it is to cultivate a reliable scientific research team. They have found the right path. As long as they have sufficient capital investment, it may not take many years to improve the performance indicators of aircraft carrier steel.

Pushing it to new heights, the benefits generated will be even more considerable. And the improvement in social status brought to the Fang family will be even more difficult to calculate.

"We plan to hand over one-third of the daily necessities in logistics procurement to Carrefour Group for fifteen years as compensation for the other party." He said with a wry smile. The military has no money, although after entering the new century, military expenditures have increased.

The share of government fiscal expenditures has been rising every year, even exceeding the growth rate of fiscal revenue. However, the problem is that military expenditures have been tight for many years, and now it has even reached the point where it is difficult to even pay for normal military training, and a large number of

The equipment has obviously lagged behind international standards, and soldiers serving today are also required to be paid, and the salary level is even higher than the local average. Taking into account the issue of currency depreciation, even if military expenditures increase significantly, it is still

We are stretched thin. One billion to two billion US dollars, even though we are obviously taking advantage, we still can't get it out.

There is no one in the military. Although there are many institutions engaged in military equipment research and development, and there are also many research and development personnel dedicated to the field of steel, they can be transferred out and belong to the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute, which is of low level.

Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute looks down upon it, and the military with high level will definitely not let go. High-level R&D personnel are treasures everywhere.

As for what kind of privileges? Putting aside the current status of the Fang family in the country, they no longer need any special privileges. Moreover, the Fang family would not want the military to grant such privileges. This is very taboo.

I don’t know who made this suggestion, but it has been recognized by the most people. Firstly, Carrefour Group is originally the top supermarket chain retailer in China, and its products are not only complete but also of guaranteed quality. Secondly, in this case,

There is no pressure on the military's financial expenditure. Anyway, this money has to be spent, and who should it be given to? Thirdly, there is no taboo in doing so.

Fang Mingyuan covered his forehead speechlessly. Seeing this action, he exchanged glances with Chang Liquan. Obviously, Fang Mingyuan didn't appreciate this exchange condition very much.

"Uncle Zhao, who came up with this bad idea?" Fang Mingyuan said helplessly. This condition sounds good. China has the largest army in the world. In the annual logistics procurement, just all kinds of daily necessities are an extremely huge amount.

The amount is comparable to that of a medium-sized city in China. This is certainly a big piece of cake. Even if it is only one-third, it is enough to make any company in the country salivate.

But! This is also a big pit!

The military's logistics procurement of daily necessities has actually formed its own system over the years and has been divided up by various interest groups. It is easy to say that one-third of the share is given to the Carrefour Group, but the game behind this

It’s not that simple! And even if the Carrefour Group really gets this piece of cake, how many people will it offend? And can these people not stumbling on the Fang family in purchasing in the future? And supplying daily necessities to the army is not as good as

The various requirements for wholesale and retail to the public are more stringent. It can be said that Carrefour Group, which is not familiar with this, will be caught in many places in the future. And even if it successfully takes over this business

, how much profit can Carrefour Group get from it? In fifteen years, can it get profits worth two billion US dollars? And I am afraid that in the future, there will be news in the society that Carrefour Group monopolizes military procurement by virtue of its connections.

The result is that Carrefour Group’s meat is not necessarily something you can eat, but it will make you look sexy!

After hearing this, he was a little dumbfounded. When it came to how to train soldiers and fight, he certainly knew it well, but he was not so clear about such business matters. Moreover, since he learned the news, all his

He was focused on how to use the steel for domestically produced aircraft carriers, and he didn't have that much thought on how to compensate the Fang family. Now that Fang Mingyuan said this, as a high-ranking member of the military, he naturally

I realized that what Fang Mingyuan said might not be without purpose.

Chang Liquan nodded secretly. Fang Mingyuan was able to realize the many shortcomings in it as soon as he heard the proposal. This shows that Fang Mingyuan's mind and vision are not comparable to ordinary people, and he has not been "

Cake” went to his head.

"Then the government takes the lead, and the state-owned steel companies purchase the formula, and the research and development personnel are taken over by national research institutions?" He continued. This is the second option recognized by everyone.

"So how much do you think I should sell the formula for aircraft carrier steel?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically. In China, this is still a trap. If the quotation is low, Fang Mingyuan is naturally unbalanced. If the quotation is high, they must also be unbalanced.

It is comfortable, and not necessarily any company can produce it. It is not that there are large state-owned steel companies with strong financial resources in China, but many companies have cooperation or even joint ventures with overseas companies, and hand them over to them for the production of steel for aircraft carriers. That is not

Looking for trouble? (To be continued.(.))
