Hu Zhiyong went to the second underground floor. He wanted to see what the electronics factory had researched.
Phoenix City is a three-story building, with the industrial city, commercial city, and residential areas on the top. The first underground floor is the tram operation route, freight yard, material storage place, and scientific research institutions. The bottom floor is the sewage treatment plant, garbage treatment plant, and cremation.
field.
On Phoenix Island, you can't see any wires from the outside. All circuits are connected to the ground through the second floor, and thick cables are installed on the thick ceiling.
The picture tube, camera tube and display screen that Hu Zhiyong wanted most have been developed, but he was very dissatisfied and told the researchers: "Such things have no production and utilization value. I want you to continue research. Sequential sampling of TV signals from point to surface
, transmission and reproduction are accomplished by scanning, and can be used with cameras to play TV programs."
"It also uses radio?" a technician asked.
"Yes, it has both analog and digital signals. I only know so much." Hu Zhiyong smiled sheepishly: "I have seen good TVs, but I don't understand its technical structure."
Electronics factories have developed ground radars, aerial radars, target detection radars, reconnaissance radars, weapons control radars, weather radars, radio stations including radio stations, military radios, vehicle radios and other series. But Hu Zhiyong knows that if he wants to make a fortune in the next hundred years, he must seize the electrical appliances
Series. Whoever is advanced will make a fortune.
The head of the communications section called and said that the United States wanted to purchase tank equipment for its troops, which made Hu Zhiyong rush home. He exchanged telegrams with Chen Xinwen and told him to join the competition.
The Sirius tank weighs 34 tons. But its maneuverability, engine horsepower, speed, obstacle crossing, and range are all the best among today's tanks. It is especially amphibious and can travel in four meters of water and move forward in muddy ponds.
Very amazing.
The United States uses the stupid M3 "Grant", which is hardly better than the light tanks of the Japanese. Moreover, due to the technical flaws in its own design, it can no longer perform in battle.
Hu Zhiyong's headache was that selling the tank would bring him a large harvest, but the air-cooled 725-watt diesel engine he was researching would be exposed in advance. Should he do this business? He began to think nervously.
"Show your face!" Hu Zhiyong finally had a countermeasure.
If you showcase your products among numerous arms dealers, you will receive unexpected gains. What's more, your new tank is already under development, with a power of over 1,100 watts.
Hu Zhiyong set out, taking an armored vehicle and a tank with him on the road.
There were only four types of tanks at the exhibition. After arriving, Hu Zhiyong first looked at other people's products. After reading them, he laughed. He was determined to be ordered by the military. The question was, what is the appropriate price?
A jet-black tank got off the big truck, and everyone's eyes quickly focused here. 48-year-old George Patton walked over and kept circling around the tank. He asked Hu Zhiyong who was standing next to him: "What's this?"
Is this the exhibit you prepared?"
"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong looked at Patton for a long time and suddenly shouted: "Are you George Patton, the God of War? The first commander of the tank force in the United States?"
"Yes, ok!" Barton didn't expect that this Chinese boy actually knew his reputation.
"Please get in the car!" Hu Zhiyong opened the top cover of the tank and let this mighty soldier enter the tank: "I want you to rate my tank today and give it an estimate."
Patton jumped into the tank cockpit and kept looking at the facilities inside. He said to the four soldiers: "Can you drive it around for a while?"
"Of course." Hu Zhiyong said from the top of the tank: "First travel for an hour, it will make you unable to put it down."
The maximum speed is 65 kilometers/hour. The thickest part of its armor is 90mm. The sides of the car body and turret are equipped with handrails, which can accommodate infantry. It is equipped with 9rm model communication equipment. A 76mm artillery and two 7.62mm machine guns, with ammunition ready.
56 shots.
The body adopts "modular armor", which can install and remove the armor in a short time. Especially the comfortable seats are made of precious leather, which gives you a slightly cool feeling when you sit on them. There is a small exhaust fan at the top, which can be turned on
Hissing fan blows out the cool wind.
Army Chief of Staff MacArthur's eyes lit up and he asked Hu Zhiyong: "Young man, is he your product?"
"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong had never met MacArthur, but he knew that this man's identity was extraordinary.
"Can you tell me its price?" Army Chief of Staff MacArthur began to pay attention. This young man must be extraordinary. People from China participated in the purchase of the US military. Even if they don't have a background, they won't believe it.
"How much do you think it is worth?" Hu Zhiyong asked, he wanted to hear the quotes from these people first.
"Three million dollars!" Barton came over and shouted loudly.
"Three million dollars? Are you crazy?" MacArthur was surprised. Patton could shout such a high price, indicating that this kind of tank is indeed good.
"I'm not crazy!" Patton looked at the onlookers and said calmly: "What a tank wants to highlight is its superior performance, sharp weapons and attack speed. I am sure that this tank is the best today."
, the most advanced product!”
Hu Zhiyong applauded, nodded to Patton and said: "Its protective capabilities are also very good. Ordinary tank guns and naval guns cannot penetrate it. It is also amphibious and can span 2.5 meters of ravines."
34 tons can only be classified as a medium tank. This price was indeed not low in the 1930s. But Hu Zhiyong’s price in mind was the same as Patton’s. He was more determined not to sell it if he had too little!
The deal was not decided at once, so Hu Zhiyong left Li Hansheng behind to negotiate and took Barton towards Los Angeles.
The industrial park, rubber factory, and glass factory established by Hu Zhiyong have begun production. He was very enthusiastic about this brave soldier and led him to visit every factory building.
"You are awesome!" At the aircraft manufacturing plant, Patton sincerely gave Hu Zhiyong a thumbs up.
The passenger plane has two engines and is piloted by two people. It has 235 seats and is luxuriously designed and very safe. Hu Zhiyong is planning to open five routes in the United States. This time he asked Chen Xinwen to sign the contract.
Hearing Patton's praise, he just smiled slightly. Tanks, fighter jets, and bombers must win the military ordering plan, and passenger aircraft only provide a platform for workers to gain skilled business.
Vortex jet and vortex fan jet engines are used in the military, while passenger aircraft use turboprop power machines. Of course, these technologies are top secret and have not yet been made public.
Back in the living room, Bailey hurriedly made coffee, nodded friendly to Barton and exited.
Patton had an irritable personality and vulgar language, but he was a straight-tempered tough guy. He said eagerly to Hu Zhiyong: "I want to see your tank performance description."
"Okay!" Hu Zhiyong stared at him: "This is my business secret, please don't leak it out."
"I guarantee it with my personality!" After Barton said it, he laughed first: "I don't want to be a businessman because I'm not suitable."
On Roosevelt's desk was a photo of the tank brought by Hu Zhiyong. This shrewd politician soon realized that it was a good thing. After MacArthur introduced the results of the experiment, he sighed and said: "The price is three million US dollars.
Can Congress approve it?”
"If you put pearls and a glass ball together, would you dislike its high price and not buy it? Weapons are used to kill enemies and protect yourself. As long as it can meet these two requirements, its value should be higher than others."
Roosevelt frowned, thought for a long time and said: "Suggest to Congress to order 20,000 Sirius tanks!"
"So much?" MacArthur was surprised. He didn't dislike the quantity ordered, but the amount.
"Believe me, he will bring more benefits to our country!" Roosevelt smiled and held up the photo in his hand: "I want to buy a tank and its production license!"
"You want to buy my product for 100 billion, what a wishful thinking!" When Barton was talking to Hu Zhiyong, Li Hansheng called. After hearing this, he roared angrily, saying that it was unacceptable.
"Roosevelt replied that he can apply for business licenses for five air routes for us." Li Hansheng continued.
"Forget it, I won't open the airline!" Hu Zhiyong's bullish temper got worse. Not to mention his tanks, the technology transfer fees for independent power machines are worth 100 billion.
The business failed, and Hu Zhiyong sat on the sofa glumly. Button stood up and said goodbye, confidently saying to him: "Don't worry, Congress will not reject this batch of purchases. This is testing your bottom line."
Hu Zhiyong looked at Barton in surprise: "You don't know how to do business, how can you say such a thing?"
"People in the military and Congress are very cunning, and they will naturally know their tricks over time." Baton Rouble smiled and left with satisfaction.
Li Hansheng came back with tanks and armored vehicles and reported the detailed results of the negotiations to Hu Zhiyong. After hearing this, he said thoughtfully: "People from the military department will come back for negotiations and tell them that we will sell our technology to the Germans."
"Retreat to advance!" Li Hansheng laughed, the young master became so fast.
Hu Zhiyong rejected Roosevelt's offer, and he was not unhappy. On the contrary, he felt that Hu Zhiyong would cooperate with him. When the person sent for the second time called back, Roosevelt was surprised and laughed.
"One thousand tanks, packaged technology transfer worth 100 billion. Tell Hu Zhiyong, it's a favor for me!"
The price of the tank was indeed not cheap, but MacArthur felt that the transfer fee was too low. He hesitated, fearing that any further negotiation would be in vain. After hearing what the Army Chief of Staff said, Hu Zhiyong laughed and said: "The president impressed me with his friendship.
I made this deal!"
"Are you willing?" MacArthur looked up in surprise and asked.
"Gold is priceless, love is priceless. This is the face of Mr. President Roosevelt." Hu Zhiyong said the flattery cunningly. He believed that Roosevelt would know.
"We won!" Roosevelt listened to the Chief of Staff's narration and smiled slightly: "We exclusively produce tanks. I believe that no country has more powerful tanks than us!"
"Your Excellency, does he have a more powerful tank that he has not brought out?" MacArthur truly realized the energy of this Chinese boy at this time.
"There will be!" Roosevelt said with confidence: "But he will not sell it again unless he develops a more powerful tank!"
