Chapter 195 Skunk Works Management Model
Li Yunfei didn’t know whether history was a cycle, but for now, Sergei was quite satisfied with the swarm drones that used artificial spider silk.

Without any hesitation, he asked directly: "My dear Davari, how much do you sell this for?"

"Dear, this small swarm drone of ours is priced at US$2000, and the artificial spider silk it carries is US$ per bottle."

"The manufacturer recommends that if you buy one you get ten for free, which forms a package and you can enjoy a 10% discount." Li Yunfei said with a smile.

"Then let's start with 2,000."

"By the way, Mr. Davari, do you have any more of that large swarm drone? We want another 5,000."

Zhao Zhenghe listened to the two people negotiate the contract after a few words, and his heart was bleeding.

Although they are both in business, the clients encountered by the Equipment Design Bureau are all quite difficult to deal with.

Everyone will make endless requests for equipment. I have never seen or even heard of such a happy customer.

After Li Yunfei and Sergei signed the contract, he shook his hand enthusiastically and said, "Davri, three days, give us three days."

"We will be able to ship the goods in three days, and you can return home by then."

"My dear Davari, I know you won't let us down. I will go back and wait for your good news."

"By the way, remember to take those girls out for a walk. This will be very helpful in expanding your network in the future."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could develop feelings for each other. It would be a good opportunity for us to become closer relatives." Sergei said with a smile.

Li Yunfei looked at this guy and always felt that he was not a good person.

After everyone saw Sergei off.

Zhang Shaozhong watched the convoy of the Damao delegation leave and asked with a smile, "Boss Li, what are you going to do with the girls in the Damao delegation?"

"They are all in their prime, why don't you get to know them all? It's normal for men to like young people, don't be shy."

Li Yunfei looked confused and said, "Boss, I'm also in my twenties, I'm still young!"

"Forget about those girls. I'm not interested in international relationships. Find someone to help me deal with it."

When everyone heard what Li Yunfei said, they all looked at him in surprise. Only then did they realize that he was indeed very young.

Everyone has been together for a long time, so they will subconsciously ignore Li Yunfei's age. After all, he is so young, but he has a lot of industries and a net worth of hundreds of billions.

"What a beast! How can he, at such a young age, start from scratch and build such a huge business?" Zhang Shaozhong sighed.

Li Yunfei scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Director, why are you scolding me?"

"I just happened to hit the right spot, so my wealth went up. With the Twin-Tailed Scorpion drone, my net worth barely exceeded 100 million, and I was still teetering on the edge of bankruptcy."

When everyone heard what Li Yunfei said, even Mr. He, who had the best temper, felt like hitting someone.

Listen, is this what people say?
He is so young and his net worth barely exceeds 100 million. Do these two sentences fit together?

Li Yunfei saw that everyone wanted to beat him up, and he knew that he had aroused public anger, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Director, is our bureau interested in our artificial spider silk?"

"If we want to use it, we can sell patent licenses and you just need to pay the patent fee."

Zhao Zhenghe listened to Li Yunfei's words, hesitated for a moment, and nodded and said, "Okay, okay, kid, now you are blackmailing your own family."

"How is this patent fee calculated and how much is it?"

Li Yunfei said as a matter of course: "Director, what you said is true. These days, even landlords don't have any surplus food!"

"Our patent licensing fees are not expensive. They are calculated based on the income after use. The higher the income, the higher the fee will be."

"Many units in our country have needs for anti-UAV technology. There is definitely a market for this." Zhao Zhenghe pointed at Li Yunfei and laughed.

After the two men negotiated the details of the patent licensing fee contract in the office, Li Yunfei took everyone to the laboratory of Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory.

After everyone arrived at the laboratory, the laboratory engineers began to demonstrate the experiment of artificial spider silk.

10 ml of polysorbate, a surfactant commonly used in emulsification, can increase the viscosity of the solution, which is also the key to the spraying of artificial spider silk.

Add 10 ml of industrial alcohol and 6 grams of high-molecular polymer plexiglass, shake well, and pour into a high-pressure gas cylinder.

Finally, add 15 ml of environmentally friendly refrigerant tetrafluoroethane, which is non-flammable, non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-corrosive, making it very safe to use.

Once everything is shaken up, just press the switch to spray.

The spray distance is related to the pressure in the high-pressure gas cylinder. The greater the pressure, the longer the spray distance, and the maximum can reach five meters.

After reading it, the equipment design expert couldn't help but ask, "Can this thing really be used as a fishing line?"

After hearing this, Will Smith, an expert from Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory, said, "Of course not. This is only semi-finished technology."

“If it is to be used as a fishing line, additional compounds must be added and a specific process must be used.”

"If you want this technology, you have to talk to our factory manager and pay extra. This is a different price!"

Foreigners are always very clear about the distinction between yours and mine.

Although Will Smith understands the ways of the world, talking about money is his personal bottom line and he cannot back down even a step.

When Zhao Zhenghe heard this, he waved his hand and said, "This technology is enough."

"For us, this semi-finished technology is much more useful than fishing lines."

It is useless for the Equipment Design Bureau to ask for a fishing line technology. It is impossible for them to enter the civilian market and compete with the civilians for profits, right?

Will Smith smiled and asked everyone to leave the laboratory building, then turned around and continued his experiment.

"Mr. Li, you are really lucky. You can sell this semi-finished product technology." Zhao Zhenghe couldn't help but sigh.

Although scientific research is like this, no one knows what kind of surprise will come next, but Li Yunfei's surprises are obviously coming quite frequently.

Li Yunfei listened to the director's sour words and couldn't help but say, "Director, this is not good luck for us. It's because we have a large number of experiments. There are always one or two technologies that can be picked out and used."

"All of our laboratories adopt the skunkworks model and have a highly autonomous management model."

"Engineers' ideas are wild and unconstrained, which can effectively prevent many creative ideas from being rejected by factory managers who don't understand technology."

“This R&D model is also more efficient and more cost-effective. Of course, it is also easier for the factory manager.”

After hearing what Li Yunfei said, Zhao Zhenghe fell silent.

The Skunk Works is a project under Lockheed Martin, which is mainly responsible for researching secret technologies.

Because there is little official intervention, many well-known weapons have been born, such as the U2 reconnaissance aircraft, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, and the three stealth fighters: F 117, F 22, and F35.

The skunkworks management model is very good, with high confidentiality, effective cost control, and faster speed, but not all large companies can learn it.

To learn this management model, there are many things that need to be given up, at least for now, the Equipment Design Bureau cannot do so.

Zhao Zhenghe looked at Li Yunfei and couldn't help but said with emotion: "Xiao Li, your research and development model is very good and worth learning from."

"Write a report and send it to the bureau so we can study it."
