Chapter 1460: Outside the Market (Part 1)
When UBS said this, it actually expressed the meaning of recommending the colonel of the card. This is normal, Colonel Ka is definitely a big customer of UBS, with much more deposits than Guo Tailai.
Colonel Ka and Saddam should have had a little friendship. At this time, UBS recommended and invited Guo Tai to visit Libya.
It seems that the experience in Iraq also gave Colonel Ka a sense of crisis, or why in the future dream, Colonel Ka decisively voted for the United States after the Iraq War, and even paid the compensation for the hijacking cleanly?
"Okay, but I'll have time in the second half of the year." Guo Tailai doesn't care. Taking care of himself is not a strategic weapon. There is no need to offend people for some political reasons. Taking a step back, whose money is not money?
What if there is something nice to discover at the National Museum of Libya? Or some escalation thread in Libya? If you refuse directly, it will definitely be difficult to move an inch in Libya in the future. When Colonel Ka was in power, he couldn’t go there. After Colonel Ka stepped down, is that place a place for ordinary people to go? Will the country be willing to let Guo Tai come to that battlefield?
If you have to go, Guo Tailai can also go now, but it is at the critical moment of the Iraq War that Guo Tailai doesn't want to leave for the time being. At least until the Iraq war is not decided, Guo Tailai will definitely not go abroad. For this reason, even the trip to Jordan has been postponed.
UBS also just wanted to know Guo Tailai's attitude. Guo Tailai did not object, which is already very satisfactory, and they can reply to big clients.
"Boss, will there be any accidents in Iraq?" After Lin Jiayi replied to UBS, she hung up the phone and suddenly asked Guo Tailai.
"Who knows?" Guo Tailai was not sure: "But there must be more than one Saddam double."
"Why don't you, boss?" Lin Jiayi's eyes lit up for a moment, emitting a kind of eager light.
"Don't!" Guo Tailai knew what Lin Jiayi wanted to do, and shook his head directly: "Just accept it when you see it, you should learn from Buffett's old fox, we have already made a lot of money, if we are greedy, I am afraid that Americans will come to our door .Also, Saddam may not be so lucky every time."
It was also rare for Lin Jiayi to directly leverage 20 billion U.S. dollars for investment. The feeling was thrilling and exciting, and she wanted to do it again. But Guo Tailai's words made Lin Jiayi calm down. Americans are not easy to eat, and Saddam may not be lucky every time. After all, he is still a little bit impatient.
Maybe it's because everyone has made a lot of money, so the investment promised by each company is being implemented as soon as possible, and the efficiency is surprisingly high. The Gusu City Government doesn't know why. But since the other party is willing to land investment so quickly, the government certainly welcomes it with open arms.
During the period when Lin Jiayi was operating financial investments, Guo Tailai did not follow him every step of the way, he was just working honestly. Ferrari has already placed the order for the ceramic engine, and Guo Tailai is also busy completing it. Although it is not necessary to deliver ninety-nine units within a year, at least twenty units must be guaranteed a year.
When Guo Tailai was busy processing ceramic engines in the studio, the senior sister was also ordered to tell Guo Tailai a good news. The prototype of the domestic armed helicopter that the Americans had received information from last year successfully completed its first test flight in April.
The company designated by the military is negotiating with Mi Feifei about the technology transfer of that kind of graphene armor. The design team has considered using graphene armor on this new gunship to enhance protection and greatly reduce weight and improve performance.
There is no doubt that the improvement of materials will inevitably lead to the improvement of design performance. Guo Tailai was also very happy. At that time, the graphene armor that he set up a project was used on the fuselage of the new armed helicopter. Guo Tailai also knew that this armed helicopter was the future Wuzhi Ten.
It is a pity that during the first flight and the subsequent inspection flight of Wuzhi 10, it was equipped with a PT6 turboshaft engine developed by Pratt & Whitney Canada Branch, the most powerful engine development unit in the world, with an output power of about 1250 kilowatts. The production-type Wuzhi 10 is equipped with a domestic turboshaft 9 engine with an output power of about 1,000 kilowatts, which is almost a quarter less than the previous PT6.
"The formula of the company's high-temperature alloy material has been determined, but a suitable production process has not yet been found, but the laboratory can also produce a small amount. Maybe by the end of the year, we can make this improved engine." Guo Tailai knew why the senior sister would Tell Guo Tailai this, and the higher authorities are also looking forward to Guo Tailai's improved Black Hawk engine.
In fact, Guo Tailai himself is also looking forward to the completion of this T901-GE-900. Compared with the T700-GE-701C Black Hawk helicopter 1341KW, this engine has a power increase of 50%, a weight reduction of 20%, and a fuel saving of 25%. If multi-seed components are equipped on our Wuzhi Ten, what performance will it have? Or try chasing Apache?
"The material developed by your company is still a high-rhenium formula, right?" The senior sister knew that Guo Tailai had arranged for the company to develop it. She was not surprised, but she was more worried about another thing.
"Yes, that's right!" Guo Tailai and his senior sister had nothing to hide, they nodded quickly. This Japanese material is indeed a high-rhenium formula, so that the cost is very high, which makes Japan more and more coveted for the four northern islands. After all, one of them, Eturup Island, has a large reserve of pure rhenium ore.
"There are not many rhenium reserves in China." The senior sister sighed and said, "The output is even lower."
At this time, the domestic production of rhenium is less than two tons per year. Except for some industrial catalysts, which take up more than ten percent, the rest are all used in aerospace, not high-temperature combustion chambers, but turbine blades or exhaust nozzles. If it is a high-rhenium formula, it is destined that the output will not be particularly high.
"Just work." Guo Tailai is quite open-minded. Now the mainstream aero-engine high-temperature alloys are all high-rhenium formulas. In recent years, only a few aero-engine companies have used most of them. General Electric has 28% and Rolls-Royce shares. Limited 28%, Pratt & Whitney 12%. This is also the same idea in China, but it may be due to the difference in the ratio of other metals that there is no superalloy formula that can withstand the temperature before the 1800 vortex.
"Hmm!" The senior sister also knew the current situation, and she had to solve the problem of availability first, and then talk about other things. And she knew that her fat man might bring her another surprise one day.
"Starting from next year, I should be able to buy one or two tons of metal rhenium at the market price every year." Sure enough, there is no need to wait until that day. In the past few years, the company will develop other high-temperature alloy substitutes."
"Where can you buy rhenium metal?" Zhao Yanyan was instantly stunned.
