Chapter 1333 You Guys Are Still the Best at Making Money

Jiao Zhi Bu Shi gave these people a shot in advance to prevent any unpleasant situation from happening next.

It’s not that he is so afraid of Du Fei, or cares so much about the hundreds of millions of dollars of orders, these are nothing to him.

What really concerns Jiao Zhi Bu Shi is that they should strive to promote this cooperation as a model, so the process and effect of the cooperation must be perfect.

At least before the heat is over, there must be no flaws.

At the same time, Du Fei received a call, and two J-8 test flight prototypes arrived.

The J-8 prototype had already successfully completed its first flight three years ago, and several more were manufactured later, but there was always a problem, that is, severe vibration would occur when entering supersonic speed.

This kind of vibration is very dangerous at high altitudes, and it may even cause the fighter to disintegrate in the air.

This problem has been bothering the project team, and it has not been solved until now.

The two J-8s that came this time flew from Shenyang at subsonic speed.

After hearing this, Du Fei simply did not go home, and drove directly to the aircraft manufacturing plant.

For this project, Du Fei set aside an area in the new car compartment for the cooperation team to use.

It was already past ten o'clock when Du Fei arrived at the factory.

At the aircraft manufacturing plant, searchlights were on on the apron, and two slender fighter jets were parked there.

Because it was a prototype, it was not painted and looked a bit rough.

Upon learning that Du Fei was coming, the two pilots who drove the plane immediately came out of the lounge next to them, trotted to Du Fei, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the chief, Huaguo People's Air Force, the third test flight brigade, the first squadron, Peng Zhanbo and Wang Zhongli, report to you!"

Du Fei stood still and waited for the two to put down their saluting hands before stepping forward and shaking hands warmly.

Those who can become test pilots are all elites carefully selected from pilots, and every test flight is risking their lives. Everyone is a brave man worthy of respect.

This time, in addition to letting them come over, the most important thing is that they know the various conditions of the J-8 best and can provide the cooperation team with the most authentic first-hand information.

Then Du Fei walked under the plane, looked up, and reached out to touch the landing gear.

This was the first time he saw the famous "Eighth Master" after crossing over. Before crossing over, he had only seen pictures of it in various magazines or on the Internet, and more of the improved J-8 II. This prototype with nose air intake was rarely seen.

Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and thought of many past events in his mind.

Especially in the world before crossing over, the incident in 2001...

Du Fei cheered up and subconsciously gritted his teeth. This time he would never allow that kind of situation to happen again!

Unconsciously, when he came to his senses, his eyes were a little wet.

...

The next morning, Du Fei personally brought Correction Bushi and a group of foreign technical experts to the Jingfei Factory.

Jiao Zhibushi came here last time, and this time he came again, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Du, you built two new workshops!"

Du Fei sat on the battery car and smiled and said: "The production capacity is not good~ You know, our technical level is limited, and our production efficiency can't be compared with yours."

Du Fei was modest, but Jiao Zhibushi didn't think so. He himself was a pilot and had some understanding of aircraft manufacturing.

But he didn't say much. In fact, since the successful test flight of the H-8 here on May 1 last year, he guessed that this aircraft manufacturing factory would become a new aviation giant.

But I didn't expect that in less than a year, it developed so fast that four new workshops were built!

At this time, their battery car stopped in front of the gate of workshop No. 7.

This place was originally used to produce the Y-8, and a Y-8 just rolled off the production line, freeing up a workstation.

The next work of disassembling the J-8 and redesigning it will be completed here.

As the other party of the cooperation, Shenfei Factory will also send some technicians here later.

Everyone changed into work clothes in the compartment and walked into workshop No. 7.

The lights were bright inside. According to Du Fei's requirements, the floor was painted with floor paint. When illuminated by the lights, it was spotless and quite high-end.

The walls of the workshop were also painted white. With all kinds of brand-new tools and large aircraft being assembled at the workstations, this place looked no less than the aircraft factory in America.

This surprised the American people who had always looked down on it.

In the imagination of most of them, Huaguo's aircraft manufacturing plant was just a small workshop, with some workers covered in oil stains, holding simple tools, and making even simpler aircraft.

However, the reality was completely different. The aircraft assembly workshop in front of them at least looked no less than their domestic assembly workshops.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. The reason why Du Fei waited and spent more money to make the aircraft manufacturing plant's workshop like this was for this.

Whether it was people from home or from outside, at least they would be shocked when they came here.

It would save a lot of trouble if they didn't look down on others.

Everyone walked in. The newly vacated No. 2 workstation was in the middle. There were four workstations in the entire workshop, which could assemble four medium-sized and large aircraft such as the H-6 or Y-8 at the same time.

At present, a Y-8 has been assembled to 80% at the No. 1 workstation. Because it is to be converted into a gunship, the weapons to be installed have been placed next to it.

Jiao Zhibushi asked: "Du, is this the gunship you produced?"

Du Fei smiled and nodded: "How is it? Are you interested in buying one to play with?"

Zhengzhi Bushi was stunned, but he didn't expect Du Fei's sales pitch to be blamed on him: "Why should I buy this?"

Du Fei said: "Just a toy, don't you like hunting? During the hunting season, go to the big forest and do a few "chut-chut-chuts". I'm sure you can catch whatever you want."

Zhiji Bushi laughed loudly: "Du, this is not how hunting is done, it completely loses the fun."

Du Fei was also joking, and did not expect to actually sell the gunship machine to the orthopedic cloth stone. If he really wanted to sell it to his son Walker cloth stone, it would be more like that. That guy is not very smart and spends money lavishly.

However, Zhejiang Bushi had an idea and asked: "The video you made last time was very good. I heard that many people want to buy this gunship?"

Du Fei said: "It's not that evil. Those are the only ones that really paid for it, and so far they haven't sold a hundred of them." At this point, he looked back meaningfully: "What? Are you really interested?"

Jie Zhi Bu Shi pursed his lips and whispered: "We'll talk about it later."

As he spoke, he had already arrived at workstation No. 2.

Two J-8s were towed here in advance and surrounded by racks to facilitate personnel's work.

Seeing these two prototypes, the accompanying American experts frowned again.

After that, the skin of the aircraft is removed to reveal the structure inside.

This time, those Meguo people frowned even more. In their opinion, the structure of the J-8 was really crude.

Du Fei didn't know what was going on, and stepped forward with a smile: "The goal has been set here, and then it depends on the abilities of the experts. In the end, we will choose an improvement plan from the two plans of GM and McDonnell Douglas. ,and……"

Speaking of this, Du Fei deliberately emphasized his tone: "The final total budget of this project named J-82 will be more than 500 million US dollars."

Most of the Meguo people at the scene were surprised. Except for the two team leaders, others did not know that it turned out to be a large project worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, Du Fei's words are just trying to make a big deal out of people's arrogance. Your technology is great, but you are here to serve me.

You don’t have to give in for five buckets of rice, but what about US$500 million~

As for the final investment in this project, the contract hasn’t been signed yet, so I can’t brag about it.

Then Du Fei and Zheng Zhi Bu Shi left the workshop and returned to the office building here.

Although Du Fei does not work here all year round, there is still a fairly large office in the office building.

There is usually someone cleaning.

Back here, I waited for others to make tea, and only Du Fei and Zheng Zhi Bu Shi were left.

The two reminisced about old times and chatted. Zhiji Bushi once again brought up the last time Rockefeller asked to join Bandar Seri Bega Petroleum Company: "Du, they were very unhappy when you rejected Rockefeller last time~"

Du Fei took a sip of hot tea and said, "So what if you're unhappy, this is not America."

"Of course, but you have to be careful, those guys won't give up," said Zhiji Bushi.

Du Fei raised his eyebrows and said: "What can we do if we don't give up? They can also let people blow up our oil wells? Don't forget, they also have oil wells on the coast of South Vietnam. If they don't follow the rules, then I don't mind blowing them up. Lose some of their oil fields.”

Jie Jie Bu Shi said: "Of course I believe you have this ability, but don't underestimate the power of Rockefeller. They have a huge amount of money! Maybe you are in the flower and fruit world and cannot understand the power of money..."

Du Fei smiled meaningfully.

Of course he understands the power of money, which can corrode people's hearts. In fact, he became vigilant when Jie Bushi mentioned Rockefeller, but he still downplayed it: "Where do you think they will start?"

Zheng Zhi Bu Shi thought for a while and said: "It's really hard to say. I can only say to pay attention to South Vietnam. There are many resources that can be mobilized there. And you know those people in South Vietnam. As long as they are willing to give money, they can do anything. It's completely Regardless of the consequences.”

Du Fei pursed his lips. South Vietnam did have this characteristic. He said seriously: "Don't worry, I will pay attention. By the way, the gunship just now..."

Zhizhi Bushi leaned toward Du Fei, pressed his elbows on the armrests of the sofa, and asked, "How much does your gunship cost?"

Du Fei said in surprise: "Do you really want to sell?"

Just now he said that he wanted Zheng Bushi to buy a hunting machine, which was actually just a joke, but he didn't just expect the other party to get money.

Jie Zhi Bu Shi said: "No kidding."

Du Fei said: "I sold it to Ka Dazuo for ten million dollars each."

Zhizhi Bushi knew the relationship between Du Fei and Ka Da Zuo. Currently, almost half of Ka Da Zuo's equipment was supplied by Du Fei, including missiles with a range of two thousand kilometers.

He immediately said: "Seriously, please give me a quote."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows, knowing that there must be something going on here: "You have made it clear what the situation is."

The orthodontic cloth was not hidden here, and the situation was directly explained.

It turns out that Nico is trying his best to end the war in South Vietnam. Although there are still some difficulties at present, it will end sooner or later.

However, there is currently a large gap in the accounts of the Hexagon Building and the South Vietnam Front, approximately US$2.6 billion.

This does not mean that there is only a difference of 2.6 billion, but that on the orthopedic cloth side, the only one that can be accessed is 2.6 billion, as for the others.

From the beginning of the war to the present, it has been fought for almost twenty years, with a total cost of more than 200 billion. According to the correctional cloth stone, at least one third of the war has to be washed away layer by layer.

Du Fei couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He knew that America had its own national conditions, such as a two thousand dollar tea cup and an eight thousand dollar wrench.

I just didn't expect it to develop to this point at this time.

No wonder it has been suppressed by Sulian in recent years.

If 'Map' hadn't voluntarily surrendered later, if he had gritted his teeth no matter who he was, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.

The reason why Zhijie Bushi focused on Du Fei's gunship was because he had a close relationship with Lockheed.

Originally, this hole was planned to be plugged with Lockheed's AC-130 gunship that was about to enter service.

The unit price of this type of gunship modified from a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft is as high as 40 million U.S. dollars. As long as the Hexagon purchases 60 of them, the hole can be plugged.

In fact, the cost of this simple modified gunship is less than five million US dollars.

The rest was divided among the families.

But now there is a problem. Lockheed's gunship has some problems and will not be mass-produced until next year.

If it turns out to be nothing, just wait.

But now Nico is clamoring for an end to the war every day. If the war is really over, without the battlefield consumption, these accounts cannot be written off at all, and the trouble will be huge.

The orthodontist Bu Shi has also been worried about this matter recently.

Once the worst happens, their interest group will inevitably spit out some of the benefits they have gained before.

Until today, when I saw the half-assembled gunship in the workshop, I suddenly had an idea.

Du Fei heard what he said, and even though his brain reacted quickly enough, he almost didn't come back to his senses.

He slowed down and confirmed: "You want to buy my gunship first, send it to the battlefield, and pretend to be a Lockheed ac-130? I understood it correctly, is that what it means?"

Zhizhi Bushi nodded: "Yes, that's what it means."

Du Fei said: "No, I don't mean to offend, but... the US troops on the front line are neither blind nor stupid. Can't they see that this is not a 'Hercules'?"

Zhengjie Bushi smiled: "You don't have to worry about it, we will naturally have a solution."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "Money can make all the difference? What will happen when the war is over?"

Zhizhi Bushi shrugged and said indifferently: "In war, isn't it normal to lose a few planes?"

Du Fei suddenly realized that no matter how many planes he bought, they would all be destroyed. He couldn't help but pick a thumb: "You are still ruthless in making money~ Tell me, how much do you want?"

Zhizhi Bushi said: "Let's get forty first, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Du Fei said: "I'll give you a preferential price, eight million US dollars per unit, no problem~"

Correctional cloth stone nodded without hitting Ben'er, it was two million cheaper than Ka Dazuo's: "No problem, but be quick!"

Du Fei said: "Don't worry, we don't have anything to do with each other. I'll give it to you first. Forty aircraft will be delivered to you within six months."

After the decision was made, Jia Zhi Bu Shi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, in his true heart, he doesn't want to do such a thing. He has his own ideals of justice.

But there is no way. If his family wants to succeed in the real world, there must be support from interest groups behind it.

Moreover, his family itself is also an interest group, with various in-laws and allies, no one can do without anyone.

In this case, one can only achieve both prosperity and loss.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he is, he must consider the interests of the entire group.

Only in this way can he gain more support.

When he was a teenager, he understood that people who cannot bring benefits to others are destined to be abandoned.

As for why he dared to find Du Fei.

It's not that he trusts Du Fei much, but that he feels that there is huge overlap of interests with Du Fei in Nanyang.

Bandar Seri Bega Petroleum Company is ostensibly a collaboration between Du Fei and him, but in fact there is a more complicated distribution of interests behind his back.

Coupled with the special status that the textile and clothing group gave his family, he finally decided to let Du Fei help.

Of course, it can't be said to be a help. The order for these forty gunships will also make Du Fei a lot of profit.

The unit price is eight million US dollars, and at least five million and above will be pure profits.

Forty aircraft is US$200 million, and if the final order reaches 60 aircraft, it is US$300 million.

Even if it is only a fraction compared to the $2.6 billion black hole.

…

After that, Jie Bushi stayed for another two days before leaving.

The more than 20 technical experts brought here stayed and began to discuss the modification plan for the J-8 with the technicians from the Shenyang Aircraft Factory.

Still divided into two groups according to General Motors and McDonnell Douglas.

General Motors is led by Li Aode, and McDonnell Douglas is led by McCain.

Du Fei had previously been offered a $500 million pie, and both sides were working hard, and Li Aode also put away his arrogant face.

At this moment, Du Fei's office welcomed an old acquaintance.

"Director Luo, please take a seat~" Du Fei politely asked a bald man in a Chinese tunic suit to sit on the sofa.

This person was Zhou Peng's superior in the capital, Luo Zhengming, Director Luo.

Director Luo said: "Manager Du is too polite. Just call me Lao Luo, but there are directors elsewhere."

Du Fei said: "Then don't be the manager, call me Xiao Du."

Director Luo didn't agree. The fire equipment company was now at the deputy prefecture level, and Du Fei was half a level higher than him.

What's more, he knew exactly what was going on with Du Fei, so even though he agreed, he still called him Manager Du.

Du Fei didn't care, he made a cup of tea himself, put it in front of Luo Zhengming and asked: "How is the situation?"

Luo Zhengming said: "The comrades over there reported back that Li Ao was a bit arrogant. It is said that he was a child prodigy since he was a child. He skipped grades in elementary and middle school. He studied under America's famous professor in the field of aviation power in college and directly entered General Dynamics after graduation. Work……"

As early as when Jie Bushi brought people here, Du Fei asked the relevant departments to investigate, the most important of which were Li Aode and McCain.

According to Luo Zhengming, Li Aode had obvious character flaws and was addicted to playing Texas Hold'em poker.

Hearing this, Du Fei's eyes narrowed and he interrupted: "Do you have gambling debts?"

Luo Zhengming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, he is very good at Texas Hold'em. He has won up to twelve thousand US dollars in one game."

Du Fei was surprised. Before, he thought that Li Aode, that fat-bellied middle-aged man, had nothing to do with the 'prodigy', but now it seemed that there was something.

Luo Zhengming asked: "Do we need to start in this area?"

Du Fei thought for a moment and shook his head: "Look at the other one."

Luo Zhengming took out another piece of information.

McKay King is also a graduate of an Ivy League school. Unlike his current silent character, he was once a popular figure in school and once represented America in the weekly sports meeting of the fencing project.

Du Fei was surprised again. He didn't expect that these two people had a past worth talking about.

But the McCain shown in the information seemed different from the person he met this time.

Logically speaking, such a person should still be in high spirits now. Why has his personality changed so much?

Sure enough, Luo Zhengming got to the point next.

In the second year after graduating from college, his father's business failed and he committed suicide due to bankruptcy.

Du Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder.

From a rich young man who shouted for a golden spoon, he suddenly turned into a poor boy who had nothing and could only rely on himself.

Luo Zhengming added: "In addition, although his father's bankruptcy debt did not involve him, he had just bought back the house he had sold the year before last, and had to bear a US$1.2 million housing loan for this."

Du Fei's heart moved and he clicked his tongue: "It's really ~ trying his best to buy back the house he lost. What an inspiring story."

Luo Zhengming heard Du Fei's attitude: "You want to start with this person?"

Du Fei nodded and reached out to pick up Li Aode's previous information: "This person is too conceited and naturally thinks that he is superior to others. This kind of person is an unfamiliar dog. Even if you give him a million dollars, he will not be grateful. He will only think that he deserves it, and he will think that we are stupid and have too much money.”

"How much money do stupid people have?" Luo Zhengming smiled with a strange expression.

Du Fei casually threw down Li Aode's information and picked up McCain's: "This person is different. He has tasted the warmth and ups and downs of human relationships, and understands the harshness of the world. The most important thing is that this expert has 1.2 million US dollars on his back. loan."

Luo Zhengming nodded: "I understand, I will find ways to further worsen his financial situation."

Du Fei smiled and said: "If the loan is not repaid, the bank will take back his house. I believe he will make a wise choice."

…

More than ten days later.

It’s Labor Day again in a few days, and the weather is getting warmer.

Although the north suffered a drought last year, the domestic economic situation is still improving, with the economic added value exceeding 7% for the third year.

After surpassing Italy last year, it will get closer to England this year.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is likely to achieve the goal of surpassing Yingguo in the next year.

On the market, various materials have become more abundant. Although the cloth tickets still exist, they have become decorations.

The quality and quantity of cloth flowing out from the textile and clothing group for domestic sales has significantly reduced in the city.

Then there is food. Although there was a drought last year, the pressure on food was not great. The harvests in the northeast and south were not affected. There is no problem in adjusting some grain reserves.

Coupled with Borneo’s climate, food is harvested three times a year.

After the first batch of disaster victims who arrived in Borneo last year were resettled into villages, the first crop of grain sown has been harvested.

Although the food yield per acre is not high because they are new here and they are not familiar with the local soil and climate, they are enough to be self-sufficient.

This is still the first crop of grain, and there will be two more crops. Once these grains are harvested, they can be fed back to the country.

As long as it remains stable for a few years, Borneo's food output will surpass that of Northeast China and completely solve the domestic food problem.
