The host, please be more restrained! The Strategic Propaganda Bureau can no longer make up stories

The expression on Li Yunfei's face at this moment was very similar to the black question mark face emoticon.

What kind of lewd words is this kid saying? Aircraft carriers are also used for civilian purposes. This is not an aircraft carrier theme park.

Even if it is a small helicopter carrier, it is standard military equipment!
But having said that, a few days ago, during the Ghost Festival, an aircraft carrier theme park burned a real aircraft carrier called Minsk in honor of our ancestors.

"Can I give this to you if you want it?"

Saraf touched his nose and said, "Brother, is this difficult to make?"

"Your shipbuilding capabilities are already number one on Blue Planet. I just want a civilian aircraft carrier, a cargo ship, a deck, and the ability to take off and land drones!"

When Li Yunfei heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

That thing is at most a platform for taking off and landing drones. How can it be considered an aircraft carrier?
Sometimes, it is really difficult to understand the client’s intentions, because sometimes they don’t even know what they want.

Mr. He once gave an example where a small country in Africa came to buy tanks. The price offered was very low and they required the tanks to have guns, armor and mobility.

You really can't buy a main battle tank at that price, so finally they had an idea and came up with a wheeled armored vehicle. It turned out that the customers liked it very much and kept praising its ease of use. Later they became loyal users.

"The requirements are so low now? You in Sarab are not short of money. How about adding some money and building a real drone carrier?" Li Yunfei asked tentatively.

Saraf looked surprised and asked tentatively, "Brother, do you have a plan that won't cheat people?"

"We in Sarab are rich, but we are not fools. You can't cheat us like the big hairy white elephant!"

Li Yunfei immediately waved his hands and began to explain.

After the economy took off here, the design capabilities of various ships also took off synchronously.

The Warship Research Institute under the Equipment Design Bureau comes up with a large number of warship design plans of various types every year.

These include design plans for different types of aircraft carriers, including traditional, nuclear-powered, ski-jump, flat, steam catapult, and electromagnetic catapult.

There are also many submersible aircraft carriers, catamaran aircraft carriers, drone aircraft carriers, and stealth nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

When Li Yunfei was slacking off at the Equipment Design Bureau, he liked to hang out in the archives room and look at various abandoned and sealed design plans.

Many abandoned and sealed plans are excellent, some because their designs are too advanced, and some because their costs are too high and they are not suitable for the current combat system.

This is also the reason why international defense exhibitions are becoming more and more lively. Many domestically sealed design plans will produce samples and take them to defense exhibitions, hoping to gain the favor of overseas customers.

"I've seen the plan for the double-hull drone carrier in the archives of the Equipment Design Bureau. The concept is very advanced and was produced by a top research institute. It's much better than your cargo ship."

"If you want, I can mediate and see if it works." Li Yunfei said.

As he spoke, he recalled and drew a rough sketch of the double-hulled drone carrier on his laptop.

This double-hulled drone carrier is much smaller than the current aircraft carriers of Japan and the U.S., with a tonnage of only more than 20,000 tons.

However, thanks to the double hull design, its stability and seaworthiness at sea are no worse than those of a large aircraft carrier.

Saraf looked at the double-hulled drone carrier in front of him and hesitated for a moment.

This design is much better than he expected, but it is hard to say whether there are any pitfalls.

You can't just place an order based on a sketch, right?

A civilian aircraft carrier converted from a cargo ship doesn't cost much. This aircraft carrier is obviously military grade, so the price must be high. "What are you worried about? Do you think I'll cheat you?"

"The theoretical cost of this thing is less than 300 million US dollars at most. How can I make money from you?" Li Yunfei said dissatisfiedly.

Saraf was stunned for a moment: "Brother, is your aircraft carrier so cheap?"

The cost of building a large aircraft carrier is generally in the tens of billions of US dollars. Even an amphibious assault ship of tens of thousands of tons will not cost less than several billion US dollars.

Of course, the price of Dongda will be much lower, because it is the largest industrial country on Blue Star and has economies of scale.

"Whether you do it or not, it's fine if you don't want to. But if you do, I can talk to both sides for you." Li Yunfei said unhappily.

Saraf touched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then let's get one!"

"Brother, our Sarab is very big. Is one drone carrier enough?"

"How about two? One in the Red Sea and one in the Persian Gulf. They don't cost much anyway, and are not even as expensive as our royal family's private luxury yacht." Khalid said.

"Then let's get two ships, brother. I will go back with you to inspect the project. If the price is right, we will sign the contract." Saraf nodded.

Li Yunfei looked at the two brothers and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Poverty limits one's imagination. These guys really know how to enjoy luxury yachts worth hundreds of millions of US dollars!

In their eyes, a top-level equipment like a double-hull drone carrier is of the same nature as a cruise ship. Is this fair?
Seeing that Li Yunfei looked unhappy, Khalid lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, what happened to Mr. Li? Is he feeling unwell?"

"No, it's just hatred of the rich. You'll get used to it if you interact with each other more in the future." Saraf patted Khalid on the shoulder and explained.

Li Yunfei rolled his eyes after hearing this.

He said angrily: "I remembered it wrong. The cost of building a double-hull drone carrier is not 300 million US dollars, but 400 million US dollars."

"Four hundred million US dollars is four hundred million US dollars. This price is not expensive. It is much cheaper than the private yacht I bought." Khalid said with emotion.

After hearing this, Li Yunfei's face turned black.

He looked at Saraf and asked, "What private submarine, and how much?"

"Migaloom 5, a single ship costs 23 billion US dollars. It is a very niche brand that serves the top wealthy people on the blue planet. That's actually it," Saraf explained.

Li Yunfei sighed helplessly. Sometimes, he really wanted to compete with these rich people!
Ordinary rich people play with private jets, top rich people play with private yachts, and now the way to show off wealth has evolved to private submarines?
23 billion US dollars, if it were in China, it could be enough to build a proper Fujian aircraft carrier.

"Don't your parents care if you spend so much money?"

Saraf looked at his younger brother and said, "Of course I do. That's why my father plans to pass the throne to me."

"Actually, private submarines don't cost much, as long as he doesn't invest or start a business."

"Human desires are there. At most, if we spend 10 billion US dollars, we can satisfy what we want."

Li Yunfei was speechless at this time, because what he said really made sense.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of the second generation of rich people squandering their wealth, but we are afraid of the second generation of rich people starting their own businesses! (End of this chapter)
