Chapter 103 Blackmail, million US dollars per stick?

After the basic Bluetooth headset Xingshan was launched on the market, it was sold out on the same day with a price of 199 and a connection distance of 70 meters.

This price-performance ratio also stunned other competitors in the Bluetooth headset industry.

The negative review sections of other Bluetooth headsets are all complaining about the poor performance, but the Xingshan one is complaining about the overly powerful performance.

"Bad review. I was sitting on a bus and listening to music with my Bluetooth headset on. My phone was stolen. The music was still going on and the thief got off the bus and ran away."

"The stable connection distance is 70 meters, which is really outrageous. My phone fell on the bus for this reason."

"Hahaha, I wonder how powerful the performance of the military-to-civilian model is. I really want to experience it."

"It's good to have a low-end model. I heard that the high-end model is four figures, which is really expensive."

"I hope there can be a reminder system. If the phone is more than two meters away, the Bluetooth headset can give a reminder, otherwise it is really easy to lose it."

After Li Yunfei went off the air, he saw the negative reviews for the Bluetooth headset and immediately sent the feedback to his best friends.

When the connection distance of Bluetooth headsets exceeds two meters, a beeping reminder can be set. This is technically not difficult to achieve.

The Shuangta factory also immediately started upgrading the Bluetooth headset system.

Boom boom boom!
"Come in." Li Yunfei turned his head and looked towards the door.

Zhao Dehan held a document in his hand, frowned, and said with a worried look: "Boss Li, I have something to ask you to make a decision."

"The United States has placed another order for airport blocking cables. This time they want 100 cables, and the price is the same as before, $ per cable."

"For our factory, this kind of steel cable production technology requires high standards, and the profit is not high. They don't ask for much, and we can only make 50,000 US dollars a day."

"The production line cannot be stopped. We have a lot of these steel cables stored in our warehouse. Director, otherwise we should not sell them."

When Li Yunfei heard this, he nodded in agreement.

"Since it's useless, let's stop cooperating with them."

"They are so demanding and demanding. It's better not to do this business. Go and communicate with them."

Things are also very strange in the United States.

They place an order for this kind of steel cables every four months, and each time they order about a hundred cables, which is extremely stable.

In the past, Huayang Iron and Steel Plant was short of money, so they treated them like masters. But now it is different.

Li Yunfei has now opened up the overseas market, and he really doesn't care about this kind of small business worth a few million US dollars.

Between the internally threaded steel pipe and the gas pipe, whichever one has a higher profit than this one, and is also in short supply.

It would be better to save the production line and use it to produce these two flagship products.

at the same time.

Inside the Admiralty Building.

The navy leader sat in his office with a complicated expression.

He looked at an overseas purchase contract, frowned, and asked, "Are they serious about this price?"

"Leader, we talked about it, but they were very stubborn and refused to give in."

"They also spread the word that no one else on the entire blue planet has this stuff except them, so they can take it or not." The minister in charge of the navy's external procurement stood up and reported.

What they are talking about is nothing but the aircraft carrier's arresting cables.

Currently on the blue planet, only the United States and Russia have the production technology for this thing.

Damao went bankrupt once, and its industrial capacity has deteriorated a lot. Now it is unable to build arresting cables for aircraft carriers.

Aircraft carrier arresting cables are essential equipment on modern aircraft carriers, so the Navy proposed purchasing them to the United States.

But the price over there was very high, one for 10 million US dollars.

The arresting cable on an aircraft carrier is a consumable and is usually replaced after being used about a hundred times. An aircraft carrier will be equipped with three to four arresting cables, which will be replaced approximately every four months.

If we were to purchase our two aircraft carriers at this price, it would be 6 to 000 million each time. Who can afford it?

In the United States, they only sell one aircraft carrier arresting cable to their allies for three million US dollars. Even if the price increases, it can't be more than three times! The naval leader slammed the table angrily, stood up and said: "Blackmail, this is naked blackmail!"

"I think they are crazy because of poverty. They dare to ask for 10 million US dollars for a broken steel cable. If they don't sell it, I won't buy it!"

The navy men in the office all had indignant looks on their faces.

But there is no way out. Our own production technology does not meet the standards and we have been caught in a chokehold by others. This has happened more than once or twice.

"Leader, what should we do? Arresting cables are essential for aircraft carriers. Why don't we go ask Damao?" asked the chief designer of the aircraft carrier.

The naval leader shook his head. He had tried this approach before.

Damao also wants to make this money, but he is unable to do so.

They are in a deadly fight with the two bears, and their industrial productivity has basically shifted to the production of weapons and ammunition. They really have the will but not the ability to make aircraft carrier arresting cables.

Moreover, their production technology is still stuck in decades ago. To be honest, it is somewhat outdated now.

"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will move. In the final analysis, you still have to rely on yourself."

"How long can the barrier cables we have in stock last?"

The chief designer of the aircraft carrier pushed up his glasses and said, "According to the current training intensity, it can be used for another two years."

"Two years is enough!"

"Let's form our own technical team. I think two years is enough time to develop an arresting cable."

"Xiao Liu, please notify the Equipment Design Bureau and tell them that I will be there tomorrow." The Navy leader made up his mind.

When the chief designer of the aircraft carrier heard this, there was some hesitation on his face.

Researching aircraft carrier arresting cables abroad took more than ten years or even longer from project initiation to successful development.

Is two years at home really enough?

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Leader, should we also learn from the Air Force and the Army and go to the civilian population to find out the truth?"

"One of them found a drone bomber and stealth paint, and the other found a super Bluetooth headset."

"Can we also figure out the arresting cable of this aircraft carrier?"

When the naval leaders heard this, they hesitated for a moment.

At this time, the chief designer of the aircraft carrier stood up and said in a firm tone: "Abandon fantasy and keep your feet on the ground!"

"This is an aircraft carrier arresting cable. How can there be technical reserves for tomorrow?"

"Don't be too optimistic. Let's just do our own research and development honestly. Maybe two years will be enough."

When the Navy leader heard this, he sighed and said, "That's right. We can't leave things to chance. We have to tackle this technical problem step by step."

"If two years doesn't work, then four years. If four years doesn't work, then ten years. If ten years doesn't work, then twenty years. No matter how long it takes, we have to build this aircraft carrier arresting cable ourselves!"

Within the Equipment Design Bureau.

When Zhao Zhenghe learned that the navy leaders were coming tomorrow, he immediately began to worry.

When he learned that it would take two years to develop aircraft carrier arresting cables in order to get rid of the dilemma of being strangled by the United States, he began to have a headache.

The saying "30 years for the army, 50 years for the air force, and 100 years for the navy" is no joke.

If a unit fights on the battlefield for a few more years, it will become the main force of the army and its combat effectiveness will be demonstrated.

The Air Force is required to have a complete logistics support system and talent training system. Without fifty years of hard work, it would be difficult for the Air Force to truly take shape.

Building a navy is even more difficult, as it requires building a very complete and huge logistics and military-industrial system, which involves not only the navy, but also the air force and the army.

When the navy builds an aircraft carrier, they really have to start from making steel plates. As the director of the Equipment Design Bureau, Zhao Zhenghe knows very well how high the threshold is.

Arresting cables for aircraft carriers have always been purchased from abroad, but now we suddenly have to develop them ourselves, and there is a time requirement, within two years. It is difficult, it is really too difficult.
