1556 What Should Be Done (Part 1)
Guo Tailai felt that General Chu was really amazing today, and what he said was nothing, it was a golden word! Why don't you say that the processing method is too expensive? In this way, maybe the 3D printing process can come out all of a sudden!
However, it was obvious that General Chu didn't have such an idea, he was stunned by Guo Tailai's understatement just now.
After being dazed in his seat for a while, General Chu suddenly stood up and threw his chopsticks on the ground. Fortunately, the table was fixed firmly on the ground because the hot pot was to be placed on it, so it didn't move all of a sudden, otherwise, the big pot of hot mutton soup would definitely be overturned.
"Did you just say pure rhenium ore?" General Chu leaned forward, ignoring the steaming face of the hot pot, and directly stretched his face in front of Guo Tailai and asked.
"No!" Guo Tailai raised his head back in shock, left General Chu a little, and shook his head hastily.
"Alas!" Upon hearing Guo Tai say no, General Chu showed an extremely disappointed expression on his face, and slowly sat back.
If true, how good would it be? Although it is a mine, it can also refine a few kilograms of metal, right?
Although the high-rhenium alloy has a high rhenium content, the content is at most 56%, and it is only used on the impeller blades and nozzles of the combustion chamber. High-temperature alloys, the impeller blades produced are enough for more than a dozen engines.
It's a pity, no! I am old, my ears are not working well, and I actually have auditory hallucinations. Probably because I was thinking about it just now, so I got it wrong.
"Uncle Chu!" Seeing General Chu's disappointed expression, Guo Tailai couldn't help being speechless, so he could only emphasize again: "It's not pure rhenium ore, it's pure rhenium, pure rhenium metal!"
"Pure rhenium?" General Chu's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally remembered that what Guo Tai said just now seemed to be pure rhenium, not pure rhenium ore.
"Yes! Pure rhenium! It's not a mine! It's a refined pure metal!" Guo Tailai nodded heavily, and repeated twice to emphasize that it was not pure rhenium ore, but pure rhenium.
"Three tons?" The joy and surprise on General Chu's face could no longer be concealed, but he still remembered the number that Guo Tai said, so he couldn't help asking again.
"Yes! That's right!" Guo Tailai replied affirmatively again: "Three tons is right!"
"Where did you come from? Where did you come from?" General Chu became excited again this time, and quickly asked Guo Tailai: "You just said Russian, right? Russia?"
The domestic production of rhenium metal in a year will not exceed several hundred kilograms. Guo Tailai can now get back three tons at a time, which is equivalent to a direct increase of more than five times in domestic production! You know, this high-temperature alloy is not only used in turboshaft engines, it is a high-performance superalloy that can withstand a high temperature of 1,800 degrees, and can be used in the most demanding aero-engines! Regardless of the distance, it can be used on the engine of the J-10 that is closer!
If the output is increased by more than five times at once, how much will it help the country's defense industry? General Chu was almost trembling with excitement.
"Yes! Russia!" Guo Tailai nodded with a smile.
"Why did Russia give you rhenium metal?" General Chu asked eagerly. Isn't this a coincidence? Just worrying that there are not many rhenium metals in China, Guo Tai came here and brought in three tons. Is there a golden pie in the sky?
"Do you still remember the news that Russia discovered a pure rhenium mine on the South Kuril Islands at the beginning of the year?" Guo Tailai explained the ins and outs with a smile. Seeing General Chu nod, Guo Tailai said: "Emperor Pu promised me that the rhenium mine is 10% The output can be sold to me at the market price. Now it’s time to fulfill the promise, but this time it’s giving me the previous five years.”
The news of the mine vein was given to Pu Dadi, but the mining was carried out by Abu's investment, which was also a talisman for Abu. Strategic resource mining will always increase some of its own importance. Giving three tons at a time is also Abu's reciprocation.
"Why did Emperor Pu agree to such a condition?" General Chu was almost astonished, and there is such a thing?
"Because I discovered that mine, and I told him." Guo Tailai replied with a smile.
"You found out?" General Chu was taken aback again, and then his face was full of annoyance: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I said earlier what can be done?" Guo Tailai smiled wryly: "Does the country exchange information for resources or technology? How do you explain the activities of mineral exploration on other people's sites?"
At that time, Guo Tailai still used the Japanese excuse to evade it. If the country came forward, I am afraid it would not be so simple. A little carelessness would cause misunderstanding, and the trouble would be serious. It's not as good as Guo Tailai exchanging resources in a private way.
"Such a big matter, why didn't you report it earlier?" General Chu was also angry with Guo Tailai. If he had known that Guo Tailai could get rhenium metal, he would have known... Forget it, it would be useless if he knew it earlier. There is no high-temperature alloy formula. Come out, the technological process has not come out, it is useless to know, it can only be used in industrial catalysts. And if it wasn't for Guo Tailai's reminder before, domestic rhenium-containing rare earths are still being exported to earn foreign exchange!
"Emperor Pu promised verbally." Guo Tailai smiled wryly again: "How can I report something that I'm not sure about? If he doesn't keep his promise then, how can I cry?"
General Chu thought about it, and he was right! If Guo Tailai reported it in a hurry, but Emperor Pu turned his head and forgot, or didn't intend to honor it at all, wouldn't it be a joke, and the higher-ups might have some bad opinions on Guo Tailai. It is still so safe, and the matter is done before reporting, which makes Guo Tailai's character calm and solid.
"What does he mean?" General Chu asked, "Is it difficult to transport it?"
"No!" Guo Tailai shook his head quickly: "It's because I don't know how to go through the import process, and I don't know how to collect domestic tariffs. I will ask Sister Lin to find out about the import process, or I can directly ask Mr. Cheng for help. I will go through the import formalities."
"The import of the country's scarce strategic metals is still subject to tariffs?" General Chu was annoyed when he heard Guo Tailai's words: "I wish I could give subsidies in reverse, and still need to pay tariffs? Leave this to me!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't even bother to eat the mutton, so General Chu got up directly, went outside and started making phone calls.
Guo Tailai didn't move, but he still winked at the surrounding tables. The security guards at three or four different tables stood up calmly, pretended to smoke outside, and walked out naturally. Vaguely guarding General Chu in the corner, first to protect his safety, and second, to prevent others from hearing something they shouldn't hear.
"It's solved!" After a while, General Chu came back and said to Guo Tailai with ease: "The higher-ups already know about this matter, let Mr. Cheng go through the process! Things will be fine when they arrive at the port, and the follow-up procedures will be completed." Someone took over."
Guo Tailai nodded to show that he understood.
"I'll contact Mr. Mi when I go back tomorrow." General Chu continued: "The production process and the material costs previously paid are all settled, and the country of these rhenium metals will not let you suffer. How much did you buy? The country will increase the price by 20% Acquisition, but I can only give you RMB.”
"No problem!" Guo Tailai nodded again.
"Fatty!" General Chu took a deep breath, and said to Guo Tai very seriously, "Thank you for everything you have done for the country!"
"You're welcome!" Guo Tailai responded with a smile on his face: "I should do it!"
