But it was also helpless. Only four countries in the world can produce steel for aircraft carriers, and the output is not high. Among them, steel for aircraft carriers of the United States and Russia have never been exported to the outside world. Only intergovernmental transactions can be obtained. In order to obtain the steel for Russian aircraft carriers, China paid a considerable price. This was because the Fang family was secretly promoting it. Otherwise, the Russian government would not consider it at all.

The steel for aircraft carriers produced by France and Japan can be exported in small batches, but their performance is significantly different from that of aircraft carriers made by the United States and Russia. It is okay to manufacture small and medium-sized aircraft carriers or helicopter aircraft carriers. It is not as effective as to make large aircraft carriers that can carry high-performance carrier-based aircraft groups. Although the steel for aircraft carriers developed by the Hirakawa District Smelting Technology Research Institute is not as good as that for aircraft carriers made by the United States and Russia in various indicators, it has surpassed the steel for aircraft carriers produced by France and Japan, and has pushed China's aircraft carrier steel production level to the third level in the world!

Although the public indicators of aircraft carrier steel for the United States, Russia, France and Japan do not mean their true ultimate level. Perhaps they all hide the secret of aircraft carrier steel for better aircraft carrier steel developed by the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute is still a meaning that no one can ignore. At least, when renovating and repairing the Varyag aircraft carrier in the future, the country does not have to worry about Russia getting stuck again. Moreover, with this good foundation, if you continue to research and development, it is very likely that the performance indicators of aircraft carrier steel for the aircraft carrier will be pushed up to 800 mpa in a few years, which is basically the same as the lower limit of aircraft carrier steel announced by the Americans.

Moreover, the steel used for aircraft carriers can not only be used in the construction of aircraft carriers, but also in the manufacturing of submarines, which can significantly improve the performance of domestic submarines, which is of great significance to national security. Therefore, the military side hopes to take it completely in its own hands, and 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 R&D cost of steel for aircraft carriers has not been announced by Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute, it will definitely not be a decimal. If it can be developed for only a few hundred million yuan, then there will not be only four countries in the world that can produce steel for aircraft carriers. Will countries with equally developed steel industries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy care about the R&D funding 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 achieve results. However, the real R&D cost is not simply calculated like this. Without Fang Mingyuan's large investment in special steel formulas, a large number of formulas were created from Russia and Ukraine, researchers naturally could not find a breakthrough point through the analogy. Moreover, the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute was able to establish and gather R&D personnel from multiple steel companies. The Fang family also paid a considerable price for this and sold considerable benefits. Moreover, in order to ensure the research and development of special steel, the entire Qinxi Calendering Equipment Factory has become a test factory for formulas. How much has it been lost? How can ordinary people calculate clearly? There are also the salaries, benefits, preferential treatments received by the family members of the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute, which of these things is not money?

What’s even more troublesome is that R&D work is not something you will definitely succeed if you invest money and manpower. The huge amount of manpower and financial investment will eventually be completely lost. This is the charm of technological research and development. The risks are huge and the returns are also extremely huge. Once successful, you may get ten times or hundreds of times the returns, and even lay the foundation for the birth of a giant.

A return of 12 billion US dollars, five times or ten times, is not even worthy of Fang Mingyuan's investment in aircraft carrier steel. The scientific researchers who develop aircraft carrier steel projects are priceless. 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 push the performance indicators of aircraft carrier steel to a new height. The benefits generated will be more considerable. Therefore, the improvement of social status brought to the Fang family is 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." said a wry smile. Military] The party has no money. Although after entering the new century, the share of military expenditure in government fiscal expenditure has been increased every year, even higher than the growth rate of fiscal revenue, the problem is that military expenditure has been tight for many years. At that time, it was even at the point where the cost of normal military training was difficult to afford, and a large number of equipment has obviously lagged behind international standards. Now the military personnel are also paying wages, and the salary level is higher than the local average. Including the problem of currency depreciation, even if the military expenditure has increased significantly, it is still difficult to get it. Although the one billion and two billion US dollars are openly taken advantage of, they cannot be taken 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 R&D personnel dedicated to the steel field, they can be drawn out, which makes them belong to the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute. The Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute with low level is not favored, and the Jun] Party with high level will definitely not let go. High-level R&D personnel are treasures everywhere.

As for what privileges? Let’s not talk about the current status of the Fang family in China, there is no need for any special privileges, and the Fang family will not want the military to give such privileges. This is very taboo.

I don’t know who made this suggestion, but it has been recognized by the most people. Because first, Carrefour Group was originally a top supermarket chain retailer in China, with not only complete goods but also guaranteed quality. Secondly, in this case, there is no pressure on the military’s financial expenditure. Anyway, this amount of money will be spent after all, so who is not given to? Third, there is no taboo to do this.

Fang Mingyuan covered his forehead speechlessly, saw his movements, and exchanged glances with Chang Liquan. Obviously, Fang Mingyuan did not 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, all kinds of daily necessities alone are an extremely large amount, comparable to that of a medium-sized city in China. Of course, this is a big cake, even if it is only one-third, it is enough to make any domestic company salivate.

But! This is also a big pit!

Jun】The logistics procurement of daily necessities for the military has been in its own system over the years, and has been divided by interest groups of all parties, giving one-third of the share to Carrefour Group. It is easy to say, but the game behind this is not that simple! And even if Carrefour Group really got this cake, how many people did it offend? Can these people not make trouble for the Fang family in the future? Moreover, supplying daily necessities to the military is no longer more stringent than wholesale and retail to the society. The various requirements are more stringent. The Carrefour Group, which is not familiar with, can be said to be everywhere in the future. And even if this business is successfully taken down, how much profit can Carrefour Group make from it? In fifteen years, it can make a profit worth 2 billion US dollars? And in the future, there will be news that Carrefour Group monopolizes military procurement through its relationships.

The result is that Carrefour Group may not be able to eat much meat, but will make you feel sexy!

After hearing this, he was also a little stunned. He certainly knew how to train troops and fight, but he was not so clear about such commercial matters. Moreover, since he learned about this news, all his thoughts were on how to use steel for domestic aircraft carriers, and he did not have so much thought about how to give the Fang family compensation. Now, hearing Fang Mingyuan's words, as a senior member of the military, he naturally realized that what Fang Mingyuan said might not be targetless.

Chang Liquan nodded secretly. Fang Mingyuan was able to realize the many shortcomings after hearing the proposal, which shows that Fang Mingyuan's mind and vision are not comparable to ordinary people, and he was not blinded by the "cake".

"So what if the government is led by the government and state-owned steel companies acquire this formula, and the R&D personnel are accepted by the national research institutions?" continued. This is the second solution recognized by everyone.

"So how much should I sell the formula for steel for aircraft carriers?" Fang Mingyuan asked back. This is also a pit in China. If the quotation is low, Fang Mingyuan naturally feels unbalanced. If the quotation is high, they will definitely feel uncomfortable, and there may not be any company that can produce it. There are not many large state-owned steel companies without financial resources in China, but many companies have cooperation or even joint ventures with overseas companies. Isn't it causing trouble for them to produce steel for aircraft carriers? (To be continued. (.))
