Chapter 68 Cheap new technology (Third update, please collect)
  Although money is not everything, money can solve most things in this world.

The good news came quickly. Just two days later, Alan John Cobham sold his air refueling company (FRL) and the air refueling technology he had studied for more than ten years for a price of 2.5 pounds. Gave it to Zhenhua Company.

After the contract was signed, Coham came to Li Yi'an's office. Ji Li walked into the room, holding a tray of porcelain cups, as well as matching coffee pots, milk pots, sugar bowls, and many biscuits. After pouring the coffee and leaving, Li Yian made a gesture to the cup.

"Alan, as we agreed, the company will pay you this money at a suitable time after the war. During this period, as the manager of FRL Company, the company will pay you a monthly salary of 150 pounds."

Why wait until after the war, when it is still the right time, is to evade taxes - no British person is willing to pay 99.6% personal income tax.

This is no longer tax payment, but robbery!

It's like a robber who was very compassionate and left you a fare after the robbery.

Of course, this abnormal tax amount only applies during the war. That's why Coham asked for post-war payments when he sold the company.

"thank you, sir."

Coham took a sip of coffee, then added a few spoons of sugar to the cup. After taking a sip, he nodded with satisfaction.

It's the taste.

God can testify that he has not drank such sweet coffee for a long time.

Then he ate another cookie.

Coham's appearance made Li Yian sigh in his heart, lamenting the changes the war had made in people's lives.

A bag of sugar can enter a woman's boudoir, and a pair of silk stockings can turn an aristocratic lady into a prostitute on the street. Even such a well-known and well-known pilot did not care about his dignity when drinking coffee.

The life of scarcity of materials has brought too many changes to people's lives.

"Alan, I hope you can go to the United States to conduct further research on aerial refueling technology."

Compared to the United Kingdom, the United States is currently more suitable for conducting aerial experiments. After all, in the United Kingdom... maybe they will encounter a German plane while flying.

"To the United States!"

Coham's eyes lit up as he was eating biscuits, and then he said again.

"But, I'm afraid it's not easy to go to the United States now."

"I will solve this problem."

Li Yian smiled. Unlike in the past, as a Pentagon contractor, he can now take military planes directly to and from New York and London. If necessary, he can also take some people to the United States through special visas.

"Can my family come with me?"

Coham has long been fed up with the extreme shortage of supplies in the UK. It would be great if he could take his family to the United States.

"Not right now, let's wait until after the war..."

Li Yi'an looked at him and said that when he bought Cobham's company, he didn't know that his seemingly random decision would directly lead to the departure of Cobham, the absolute king in the field of flying anchor hose aerial refueling. British, became a North Borneo Company.

Of course, one would not have imagined what changes the advance research and development of aerial refueling technology would bring to the world, but one thing is certain, it is bound to change many things.

In fact, during the war, many technologies could be obtained extremely cheaply, even at outrageous prices. After all, during the war, many companies, especially those whose products could not be directly applied to the war, used their products to and technology are not worth mentioning, but often, these technologies contain treasures.

"Sir, this new type of loom uses the high-speed airflow generated by the release of compressed air to pull the weft yarn through the fabric felling to complete the weft insertion. Its working efficiency is higher..."

In Zhenhua Company's office in London, Swati looked at the Chinese people in front of him and explained his invention to them. Although he was a textile machinery engineer, his life was extremely poor after he went into exile in the UK. Fight hunger.

In order to make a living, he even published his invention - the air-jet loom in a magazine. However, due to the war, no one was interested in the loom. Of course, the most critical reason is, His invention was not yet complete, only the concept part was completed.

Because of this, after receiving the letter from Zhenhua Company, he immediately rushed to London to try to sell his invention.

"Of course, Mr. Swati, I believe that your invention can bring changes to the weaving industry, which is why I am willing to buy it. However, I need not only it, but also you. After all, it is For now, it’s not finished, right?”

Li Yian looked at the guy in front of him with a smile.

As the inventor of the jet loom, Swati, who was in exile in the UK during World War II, had promoted his invention to people countless times, but it had never been adopted by British companies. After all, whether during World War II or after the war, the British and Europe had no intention of updating their textile machinery. After returning to the Czech Republic, his invention was adopted for political reasons-in order to highlight the achievements of the new regime. However, in the following decades, the air-jet looms produced in the Czech Republic have been They are the most popular industrial products in Eastern European countries, and companies in Germany, Japan and other countries have introduced air-jet loom technology from the Czech Republic.

This technology may seem inconspicuous, but it is revolutionary for the textile industry. Since the [-]s and [-]s, it has replaced the arrow loom and become the mainstream loom, both for the textile industry and the textile industry. For the machinery industry, it is the future development direction.

Since it is the future development direction, of course, we have to spend money to buy it, not only to buy the technology, but also to buy out Swati. After all, the Czech’s leading position in air-jet loom technology is fundamentally related to it. .

"£50."

Li Yian looked at Swati and said.

"In the future, the company will provide you with a monthly salary of 50 pounds, so that you can engage in technical research with peace of mind. In addition, I will pay 1000 pounds to purchase the patent for the air-jet loom you hold. "

Sometimes, many things are so cheap. Li Yian doesn't know whether others have bought the bottom, but now...it only cost 1000 pounds, which is a few hundred pounds of coffee, to get a new technology worth hundreds of millions of dollars!
  Even though it is so cheap, the other party is still grateful...
