#724 - Chapter 724: Unreasonable cost! Did you embezzle money? 200 aircraft, I'll pay!
The test lasted a long time.
More than an hour later, the J-40 landed safely.
"Commander!"
General Wang ran over quickly, his face full of excitement: "It's amazing! The performance of the J-40... What's wrong with you?"
Chen Hao came down, took off his spacesuit, and his expression was different from usual.
There was no excitement.
On the contrary...
His emotions were strangely indescribable.
"It's nothing."
Chen Hao shook his head and suddenly said, "Life is impermanent, like a sausage wrapped in another sausage."
"Huh?"
General Wang was at a loss.
What the hell?
He didn't understand!
He didn't know that Chen Hao had many associations and feelings after seeing the incredibly shocking starry sky.
The Earth is just a drop in the ocean compared to the vast universe.
He was thinking.
If the universe just sneezed, the Earth might be destroyed, right?
He never regarded North America as a target.
But...
What about comets or asteroids?
What about super-large solar storms?
Therefore!
Huaxia is still too weak, and it doesn't even have the ability to resist natural disasters on Earth at present.
He decided to bring Huaxia's technology into a Level 1 civilization.
Over here.
General Wang hurriedly asked, "Can it be mass-produced?"
He witnessed the test flight process with his own eyes and saw a series of heaven-defying data.
Mass produce it quickly!
Quickly defeat the old Americans!
"Yes."
Chen Hao nodded with a smile and looked at several Shenfei executives: "The main weapon is coming out soon, but the secondary weapon will no longer use lasers. I'll adjust it for you later—the main body of the fighter must be mass-produced as soon as possible!"
"Let's get 100 first, haha..." General Wang was excited.
"100?!!" The Shenfei executives were shocked.
"Is there a problem?"
"General... the J-40 is very expensive."
"How expensive is it?"
"The unit price is at least 5 billion!"
"How much?!!"
General Wang was almost scared to pee.
Initially, the cost of the J-22 was nearly 600 million. It was not only for its own use but also sold abroad. With the continuous increase in production, the cost dropped to just over 500 million.
He thought the J-40 would be more expensive, about 1 billion a piece.
As a result...
"Are you embezzling?!!" General Wang glared at the middle-aged man in the lead.
His name is Li Yong.
The highest person in charge of Shenfei!
"No..."
Li Yong was shocked.
When did he embezzle?
He can't take the blame!
"Director Li, General Wang doesn't understand technology, don't listen to his nonsense," Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Commander!"
General Wang was anxious: "The J-22 costs more than 500 million. Even if the J-40 is more expensive, it will only double or triple at most, right? This... 5 billion! How much does a Type 055 cost? How much does an aircraft carrier cost? It's unreasonable!"
The J-40 is just a fighter jet, not a strategic bomber.
A fighter jet costs 5 billion?
That's worth 10 J-22s!
You know, the initial cost of the 17,000-ton Type 055 was only 3 billion. After further expanding the scale of production, it became 200 to 300 million cheaper.
"Don't talk if you don't understand!"
Seeing Li Yong's ugly face, Chen Hao glared at General Wang: "Compare the J-40 with the J-22? The two are not the same thing!"
The cost of the J-22 can be measured by the J-10.
But the cost of the J-40 cannot be measured by the J-22.
Not to mention anything else.
The miniaturized nuclear reactor alone costs at least 1.5 billion, accounting for 30% of the overall cost.
The more miniaturized it is, the more expensive it is!
"This..."
After hearing the explanation, General Wang had nothing to say: "Then let's build less, it's too expensive!"
5 billion for one.
100 is...
500 billion?!!
"Let's build 200 first," Chen Hao said to Li Yong.
"Ah?!!"
Everyone was shocked.
One trillion?!
General Wang quickly grabbed Chen Hao: "Commander! There's really not that much money!"
Huaxia has become the global economic core, and the economies of almost all countries are completely tied to Huaxia.
In other words.
The whole world is supporting Huaxia!
It is even stronger than North America in the beginning, so it should not be short of money.
But the problem is...
Chen Hao proposed a large number of plans, from the initial high-speed and high-speed rail infrastructure to later century-old projects.
Lunar base!
Western transformation!
Nuclear fusion power station!
Too much money has been invested.
It's okay to invest money in other equipment, after all, it can be used for export: the selling price is often several times higher than the premium, which not only doesn't cost money but also makes money.
The J-40 is different!
This thing is not for sale, and it is impossible to make money from it.
"I'll pay for the money," Chen Hao said.
"No... where do you have the money?" General Wang was dumbfounded.
Chen Hao invested money with the country in the last World Cup wool gathering, but he donated it all to the country afterwards.
It was with the money earned from the World Cup that the western transformation had the first payment.
"Did you forget?"
Chen Hao smiled: "Some bookmakers didn't have enough to compensate, so they had to sell real estate, stock options, and some bookmakers in Mexico, Colombia, and other countries simply didn't pay."
He transferred 11 trillion to the country, which was the money that had already been received at that time.
Later, Chile was invited by Mexico to 'suppress bandits', and a large number of troops landed directly in Mexico.
The rest should have been recovered.
That's right!
Just enough to build the J-40.
After hearing what he said, General Wang was stunned and then shook his head and sighed softly.
This is the commander!
He is obviously much younger than himself, but it is such a person who makes him admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Give everything for the country!
"Commander!"
Hearing that 200 units were to be built, Li Yong quickly said: "If so many units are built, the cost should be reduced a lot, roughly estimated... it can be reduced to about 4.6 billion!"
Wouldn't that save hundreds of billions?
Chen Hao nodded.
He was just about to say that the cost of the new secondary weapon, the particle cannon, is much more expensive than laser weapons...
Suddenly!
The phone rang.
Lilac?
He immediately walked to the distance, answered the phone and lowered his voice: "Lilac, what's the matter?"
"Part of the money has not been recovered," Lilac frowned.
Chen Hao was stunned.
Not recovered?
It's been a long time, and he didn't specifically ask Xia Qingyan. He thought that the Chilean army went straight to Mexico and took action against the drug lords in Mexico. Who would dare not pay compensation? Recovering the funds was a matter of course.
This is also why he claimed that he would build 200 J-40s and pay for it himself.
As a result...
"Why?"
"Several of Mexico's largest drug lords have all secretly immigrated to North America, such as the Colombian gang... some are similar."
In the beginning.
Seeing the Chilean army go to Mexico, many bookmakers who relied on their powerful forces immediately surrendered and obediently paid the money.
Of course, there were also a few who watched from the sidelines, wanting to see how the situation developed.
Who knew that several major drug lords in Mexico had immigrated to North America.
As a result.
The others who were watching the situation develop, found that North America was willing to provide shelter, and all immigrated there.
In short.
There are still hundreds of billions that have not been recovered.
"What does North America say?" Chen Hao asked.
"Chile and Mexico have both requested North America to repatriate those people, and the reason North America gave is..."
North America is a free country and accepts immigrants.
The point.
Isn't it illegal to bet on soccer and be a bookmaker?
You want me to repatriate legal immigrants on the grounds of illegality, which is unreasonable.
That's right!
North America has now learned to reason.
Not to mention, it makes sense.
