Chapter 811 Baihu Technology Company Enters Harvest Period

,!

On May 16, Baihu Technology finally received good news. The cooperation on renting the virtual world was finally reached, but there were not as many orders as previously thought.

The cooperation reached by the two parties was to rent 50,000 virtual helmets, half of the expected order, but the result still satisfied him.

This cooperation alone has brought 50 billion yuan in revenue to Baihu Technology, which can greatly ease the financial pressure of Baihu Technology.

There are several reasons why the order is half lower than expected. The first reason is that the budget has already been determined. Even if the temporary budget is activated, it cannot be increased too much at once.

The second reason is that they haven't figured out how to use the virtual world, and they don't use that much for the time being. Once they figure out how to play it, it won't be too late to increase orders.

The third reason is that they also need to reserve funds for the large purchase of other military equipment, and the scale of the funds spent on these military equipment is also not low.

Among these military equipment, the procurement of aviation equipment and weapons is the top priority, so Baihu Technology Company can also benefit from it, and they are currently negotiating on equipment procurement.

The main thing is to negotiate the purchase price of the equipment, because the aviation equipment produced by Baihu Technology Company is very advanced, and according to the technical indicators, the price of each piece of equipment is very high.

However, due to the construction of the entire industrial chain of Baihu Technology Company, and the R\u0026D cost is much lower, if calculated according to the production cost, the price of aviation equipment cannot be so high.

Based on the consideration of their own interests, neither party is completely satisfied with either method, so they need to negotiate a solution so that both parties can be satisfied with the cooperation reached.

Since a large number of aviation equipment test flights began last year, after about half a year of high-intensity testing, all performances are very satisfactory.

It can be said that the equipment developed and produced by Baihu Technology Company has far exceeded many people's expectations, and in terms of data performance, it has fully met the standard for field installation.

In addition, after the release of my country's economic data, international relations have become unpredictable. my country's economic strength is already very strong, and it is basically dominated by the real economy, and the proportion of the service industry is not particularly high.

Although this economic structure is a bit abnormal, it also highlights that our country's economy still has great development potential. It is almost impossible to suppress our country's economic development.

What's more, my country's economic pillar is still dominated by high-tech economy. It has a large number of high-tech with international competitiveness, and even has a monopoly position in many fields. It is impossible to suppress it in a short time.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some countries are anxious and start to try their best to maintain the status of the world's boss.

It's just that economically it seems that it is no longer possible to maintain the position of the boss, so I want to find a place in other ways.

The weaknesses of our country's economy now mainly include the following points: The first weakness is that the per capita mineral resources are not rich enough, and a large amount of imports from the outside is required.

Since my country announced its economic data to the outside world, international resource prices have risen to varying degrees, among which energy prices have risen most significantly, directly rising from about US$50 per barrel to more than US$60 per barrel.

Since the price of iron ore is negotiated, even if you want to increase the price, you have to wait until the next round of negotiation. It can remain stable for the time being, but the price of iron ore futures has still risen, which reflects market expectations.

The prices of other mineral resources have also risen. It is impossible to say that no one is behind this. After all, it is not a matter of this year that my country imports a large amount of these mineral resources. It has been imported in large quantities in the past few years.

Although it was also rising at that time, it was still in a state of steady growth. It did not rise so fast and so much in a short period of time like now. Obviously, many capitals have spotted this and want to cut a piece of meat from it.

However, due to the lack of per capita resources in our country, if we want to maintain sustainable economic development, we have to continue to import these resources, so in their view, such opportunities are rare.

It is difficult to completely solve these problems, and the energy problem is relatively easy to solve. Originally, Kirin Energy Industry Group planned to build 1 trillion watts of solar power generation facilities this year.

Now the plan has been changed, and the construction target for this year has been increased to 2 trillion watts, which is double the previous one. The extra 1 trillion watts will be used to produce energy products such as fuel oil and chemical products.

In fact, the newly increased power generation capacity is also difficult to meet my country's dependence on fossil energy, especially in the case of rapid increase in domestic automobile sales, and the chemical industry has a large demand for oil.

It is just because Kirin Energy Industrial Group cannot increase the production capacity of power generation facilities too high in a short period of time, because continuing to expand will reduce production capacity in the future, which is a waste of investment.

Although energy prices have risen, they have not risen to the point of affecting domestic economic development. As long as they are given another two or three years, they are confident that they will not only be able to achieve complete energy independence, but also have energy exports.

Therefore, there is no need to expand production too much for the temporary loss of energy. In any case, there is a solution to the energy problem, but the ore resource is not so easy to solve.

Fortunately, Tidal Investment Company and Kylin Resources Development Group invested a large number of such enterprises last year. With the rise in the price of ore resources, their income is also good, and they can finally make some money back, and the loss is still within an acceptable range.

The second weakness is that the military strength is not strong enough. Although we can ensure the security of our homeland, it is difficult to take into account the safety of overseas economic interests. Even merchant ships have certain dangers when sailing at sea.

The main reason why the problem is not big at present is that the ships undertaking my country's export transportation are all owned by third-party countries, and many of them are even European ships.

However, this situation cannot always exist. Although ocean transportation is not a huge profit, it is very important and is a necessary link to ensure the normal progress of my country's trade.

Not long after our country announced the economic data, the old m announced that he would hold a joint exercise in the Western Pacific, and he was much more aggressive about the South China Sea issue and the Strait issue than before.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see why this kind of change happened, so improving our political strength has become the most important issue besides economic development in our country.

At present, the research and development of maritime military equipment of Baihu Technology Company is advancing steadily, and the number of scientific researchers involved is as high as 60,000. It is expected that all basic research will be completed by the end of this year.

The construction will start next year, but the construction of warships is different from the construction of aviation equipment. The unit price of warships is higher. Generally, they need to get orders before they are built. They will not make a sample first and then talk about procurement.

Therefore, this procurement negotiation is not only about the procurement of aviation military equipment, but also the procurement of maritime military equipment. As for when it will be concluded, Ye Zishu is not easy to evaluate.

The third weakness is the aerospace industry. In fact, this is not a weakness, mainly because the aerospace industry is a comprehensive manifestation of a country's economic strength and technological strength.

The symbolic significance is far greater than the actual significance, and it can create a strong image among countries around the world. Of course, aerospace technology is also a manifestation of military technology, otherwise it is not so important.

This is also the reason why the world's public opinion is so big after the release of Baihu Technology's ambitious space program, and it also makes some countries have a strong sense of urgency in this regard.

The huge space program of White Tiger Technology Company actually intends to make some countries submit, otherwise there is no need to announce such a complete space program, only the construction plan of the space station is required.

When these plans are announced, if a country believes in them and invests a lot of money to participate, he is happy to see the results, because he is confident that most of the funds invested will be in vain.

Because this is simply not what humans can do with current technology, and the confidence of Baihu Technology Company comes from the boss Ye Shu, so it has an advantage psychologically.

If he doesn't believe it, he doesn't mean to follow, and he won't be disappointed. No matter how fantastical these plans are, they must be implemented and must be done.

Among these three weaknesses, weak military strength is the most fatal weakness. If our military strength is strong, the old m will not show off his might in the Western Pacific.

As the largest economy in the country, his industry is also the most threatened, so it has become his expectation to improve the national defense force, hoping that the country can be greatly improved in this field.

At present, the most advanced domestic fighter is the Su-27, and the number is not too large. It is difficult to cope with the defense capabilities of the national airspace. Therefore, it is inevitable to purchase equipment from Baihu Technology Company on a large scale.

The negotiation process is relatively difficult, mainly because it is difficult to reach an agreement on interests. At present, only Baihu Technology has mature fourth-generation fighters, and there is no ready-made reference price.

After several rounds of negotiations between the two parties, Ye Shu also got the quotation from the other party. The unit price of the light stealth fighter is 260 million yuan, which is equivalent to 3,000 US dollars a plane, which is actually similar to the price of the su27 purchased by our country.

The unit price of the heavy stealth fighter is 500 million yuan, which is more expensive than the Su-30 purchased by our country in the previous life, but not much more expensive. The unit price of the Su-30 we bought in the previous life was also 45 million US dollars.

After Ye Zishu saw the quotation, he thought about it and felt that there was no need to worry about it. In terms of technical content and combat power, the price was indeed relatively low.

However, based on the production cost of Baihu Technology Company, it is still profitable, but the order quantity should not be too low. If it is too low, it will be difficult to dilute the cost of the initial investment.

Therefore, he hopes that the final order quantity of light stealth fighters can reach more than 1,000, and the total order of heavy stealth fighters can reach 200. If this requirement can be met, it is possible to sell at this price.

To be honest, in terms of technical performance, it is no problem to double the price of these fighters, but if the price is too high, the number of purchases will be small, and the total income earned may not be a lot.

This is also the reason why he wants to emphasize the total amount of orders. Compared with the unit price, he cares more about the total income he can get. This will not only allow the country to have more equipment, but at the same time he will not suffer too much.

In the absence of an aircraft carrier, the biggest role of fighter jets is to defend the security of the local airspace, and the external deterrent force is still not strong enough.

This is the turn of all kinds of strategic aviation equipment, which are also important contents of this negotiation, such as strategic transport aircraft, strategic bombers, strategic reconnaissance aircraft and so on.

Baihu Technology Company also has a global leading edge in these equipment fields. Not to mention the parameters of the current similar equipment, it is the same kind of equipment that appeared decades later in the previous life, and still has a leading edge.

For these strategic equipment, Baihu Technology Company also has high and low matching, but even for low-end equipment, the technology is far ahead of this era, and the price is much cheaper.

Like their strategic long-range bomber, the low-end equipment also surpassed the b2 bomber currently in service with the old m, because he found it troublesome.

Although continuous upgrading can bring more income to Baihu Technology Company, Baihu Technology Company also has many things to do, not just a military equipment research and development enterprise.

What he wants is for White Tiger Technology to research space technology, which is much more meaningful than spending so much energy on military equipment.

So when he designed it, he set very high standards, which made manufacturing very difficult. In order to solve the problem of mass production, he also designed advanced production technology himself.

Regarding the negotiation in this aspect, Ye Zishu did not give any special instructions. Anyway, no matter how you talk about it, the price of the same type of equipment must be much lower than that of old m, after all, he is not that dark yet.

If the military thinks the price is high, they can choose to buy low-end products first. After all, low-end products are enough for them to use, but the price is much cheaper.

For example, the price of a low-end long-range strategic bomber is only about 4 billion yuan. This price looks high, but it is actually much cheaper than the B2 with slightly lower performance. The price of others is more than 20 billion yuan.

Moreover, this kind of military equipment is generally not purchased in place at one time, but some are purchased every year, and the pressure on centralized procurement funds will be relatively high.

After all, our country still focuses on economic development at present, and the military budget needs to be controlled within a certain range, so that it cannot affect other domestic developments.

What's more, our main purpose is to serve as a strategic deterrent, and we don't need a global layout, so the number doesn't need to be so large, at least under normal circumstances, the number requirement is not very high.

Another thing that also caught the attention of Ye Zishu is that the country has decided to hold the Zhuhai Air Show this year, which is very positive for Baihu Technology.

The domestic price of these military equipment is not easy to sell too high, but if they can be exported in large quantities, it can bring more income for Baihu Technology.

After all, Baihu Technology's huge space program needs money to pile up. The construction cost of a space station alone may be as high as hundreds of billions, and this is still with his technical support.

Of course, this cost is nothing compared to the cost of the International Space Station. According to the data he saw in his previous life, the total cost was 160 billion US dollars, which was more than 10 times that of Baihu Technology.

In terms of advanced level, it is absolutely inferior to the space station of Baihu Technology Company. If there is no cost advantage, the space project announced by Baihu Technology Company has no possibility of realization.

The space station of Baihu Science and Technology Co., Ltd. is also a part of the space city. It can realize partial gravity during the stage of the space station, which can greatly extend the time that scientific researchers stay in space.

The most important thing is that the service life will be extremely long, which is also an effective means of reducing costs. If the current spacecraft is scrapped after 20 or 30 years of use, it is really not worthwhile.

So far, Baihu Technology has officially entered the harvest period, and the future development is bright!
