Chapter 117: As expected of a leader, his level is high

Su Chen never expected that by accidentally putting him ahead not only of the joint venture giants' supercars, but also of the country.

Originally, he thought that the carbon fiber he made shouldn't be too outrageous.

After all, China's aerospace industry has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and carbon fiber is an essential material for aerospace technology.

China should have a good accumulation of technology in this area.

But now it seems that things are not what he thought at all.

Su Chen turned his gaze to Zheng Qiu and asked:
"Leader, can I ask you a question? What type of carbon fiber is currently used in our country?"

Zheng Qiu hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Take the first two generations of fighter jets and rockets for example. The fighter jets used T300 carbon fiber, and some rockets used T500 carbon fiber!"

“But even this model cannot reach mass production!”

Zheng Qiu gave a simple explanation.

In fact, in his opinion, it is not impossible for the current H-20 research and development project to use the mass-produced T300 carbon fiber.

But that would be far from meeting the design targets. The birth of a fighter like the H-20 should break through the limitations of the times and possess the three indicators of high performance, high intelligence and high concealment.

"So, Mr. Su, we need to order a large quantity of this high-end carbon fiber, and hope that you can develop the T1200 carbon fiber as soon as possible. Mr. Su, do you think there is a problem?"

"Also, the Air Force needs more than just a little this time. It would be best if we could produce more than 1000 tons per year. If you have any difficulties, please let us know, President Su!"

Zheng Qiu stated the purpose of his visit, and of course he did not forget to add that if you have any difficulties, just ask, as long as you can complete the military order, all problems can be discussed.

Su Chen thought about it for a while and replied:
"I don't think it's a big problem. If we expand the production line, the production capacity can definitely be increased to over 1000 tons per year."

"But I do have a problem here that needs to be solved by the leader."

"Now the country prohibits the export of high-end carbon fiber, so will the supercars we make with such carbon fiber also be unable to leave the country?"

Su Chen asked with a helpless smile.

He still remembers it.

Chenxi V1 has been included in the list of prohibited exports, and can only be sold domestically.
Although the domestic market is huge, men always like bigger ones!
After finally meeting a senior leader, you have to bargain a little to see if you can open a back door.

In Su Chen's opinion, the issue of export must always be resolved.

Although given the current domestic situation, as long as Chenxi can take over the domestic market, it will be enough for it to live a comfortable life, and even becoming a car manufacturing giant will not be a problem.

After all, China is now one of the top three economies in the world, with a very broad market capacity and market prospects.

But in Su Chen's opinion, this is far from enough.

He built cars not only to promote the progress of the domestic automobile manufacturing industry and create a car that belongs to his own national brand, but also to build it for the whole world to see.

He wants to tell the world that China's automobile industry is not synonymous with backwardness.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiu pondered for a moment and looked at Su Chen with a questioning look.

"I remember that the only reason Chenxi was listed on the export ban list was because of polymer glass and special steel, right?"

"Then let me ask Mr. Su, if this material gets out, is there a high chance that it will be disassembled and reverse engineered?"

Su Chen immediately shook his head.

In principle, the material is difficult to decompose again, and reverse research and development is impossible.

The difficulty of achieving breakthroughs in materials science is recognized by all scientists.

For general equipment parts, etc., you can pick them up and study the technology contained in them through disassembly, scanning, cutting and reshaping.

However, special steel and polymer glass are raw materials and cannot be decomposed further.

Just like the Chinese military had obtained some advanced materials before, including high-strength carbon fiber, etc. But the complexity of this material process cannot be achieved through simple reverse research and development.

It requires a considerable industrial foundation, building up layer by layer.

Let’s use a simple analogy.

Once you have T300 carbon fiber, and then make breakthroughs in production capacity technology, material molecular structure, chemical process and other aspects, you will have T500 and T700.

But if you can't even make the 300th carbon fiber, you won't make any technological breakthroughs even if you are given a T1000 carbon fiber.

What's more, these materials and production technologies are extracted from the system.

If only it could be reverse engineered so easily by other countries.

The saying that products produced by the system must be high-quality is somewhat nonsense.

After listening to Su Chen's words, Zheng Qiu continued:

"The reason for banning exports is that there is another issue that must be considered. If someone exports this material cheaply in large quantities or smuggles a large number of parts, it will be a threat to the country."

"If your Chenxi V1 can be exported, how much would Mr. Su plan to sell it for?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and replied.

"The current domestic price of the Chenxi V1 is 200 million. The export price including tax should normally be around 250 million."

Zheng Qiu nodded and said to Su Chen:

"If you say so, without mentioning the smuggling of parts, if we calculate based on the actual selling price of a car, the parts can be dismantled to build armored tanks or fighter jets."

"This selling price must be higher than the purchase cost of related parts!"

Although the army's equipment is cheap, the cost of building a tank abroad is several million US dollars.

The fighter jets are still worth over 100 million US dollars.

If we disassemble a supercar and calculate its value based on 1000 million.

Remove the carbon fiber body from the supercar and use it as the fighter jet frame.

The procurement cost of a fighter jet frame must be lower than the cost of removing the carbon fiber body from a supercar.

But it's done.

Those foreign countries are still purchasing carbon fiber frames for fighter jets, why not just dismantle the bodies of supercars?

Better quality, cheaper price, and less effort, only a fool would not dare to do it.

Therefore, taking this situation into consideration, and in order to eliminate all possible loopholes, the relevant departments have come up with a one-size-fits-all plan.

Just put the Chenxi V1 on the list of prohibited export.

However, when Zheng Qiu heard Su Chen say that the materials could not be reverse engineered, he felt that the matter was not beyond negotiation.

"How about this, Mr. Su? I will help you solve this problem. You can still decide the domestic selling price of the car, but I will apply to my superiors for a special policy, that is, if Chenxi Automobile Factory exports cars containing military materials, the export tax will be increased!"

"The standard is that the price of the relevant parts is much higher than their original procurement cost."

"But don't worry, the country will not keep this part of the export tax alone. It will be distributed to your Chenxi Automobile Factory in the form of industrial subsidies."

"What do you think of this?"

When Su Chen heard Zheng Qiu mention this solution, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a really good idea.

As expected of a leader, his level is so high!
