After hearing Qin Yi's words, Li Jun, Zhao Guoliang, Wu Guan and others were also helpless because of the facts Qin Yi said.
In fact, the country is also organizing scientists to study anti-gravity fighters. It is clear that the cost of building anti-gravity fighters is definitely not cheap.
Able to reach the terrifying speed of Mach 10, there are many stringent requirements for fighter aircraft materials, overall performance, structure, stability, etc.
Although the country has organized a large number of scientists and invested a lot of financial and material resources, it has not yet come up with a mature anti-gravity fighter.
On the other hand, Galaxy Aerospace, with Qin Yi as a guide, actually took out the Qingyun Air Fighter first.
The higher-ups had also estimated in advance based on the situation of their gravity-defying fighter that the cost price of the Qingyun aerial fighter should be around 500 million. If the research and development costs are added, it should be between 600 million and 800 million.
Qin Yi is asking for a price of 1 billion, but he really doesn't make much money. It may be true that Qin Yi himself said that he basically doesn't make much money.
It's not easy to develop a fighter jet. Not to mention how much money it makes, Qin Yi can't let Qin Yi lose money. If he continues to bargain, Qin Yi can't continue to lower the price.
Qin Yi is an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs naturally have to pursue profits and cannot make a loss-making business.
"Okay~"
"I will report your quotation to my superiors. As for the final number of aircraft purchased, I can't give you an answer now."
"However, the country will never forget your contribution to researching anti-gravity aerospace fighters for the country, and there will definitely be an order."
"And as our country develops into the interstellar space era, we will definitely need more and more aerospace fighters in the future, and your participation in Galaxy Aerospace will definitely be indispensable."
"Boss Qin, no matter how big your investment is, you can rest assured that it will be recovered, so don't think about exporting it."
Li Jun looked at Qin Yi's businessman's face and sighed helplessly.
How could such a good scientist lose his sight for money?
What a pity, I went astray~
"It's not like I have no choice. After investing hundreds of billions and not seeing any return, no one would be anxious."
"If it can't be exported, can it be used for civilian use?"
"I want to build a large-scale anti-gravity aircraft to replace existing passenger planes and can also be used in the space field. This should be no problem. We sell it internally and it does not count as export."
"What's more, the superiors have now proposed to vigorously develop the interstellar space industry. If there are not enough anti-gravity aircraft, we will not even be able to go to space. How to develop the space industry and how to go to the moon for mining?"
Qin Yi curled his lips, in fact, it is not impossible to export. Even if the Americans dominate the world, many of the advanced fighters in the hands of the Americans are castrated versions and sold well internationally.
Otherwise, even if the U.S. military purchases a very large amount, it will not be enough to support these arms companies in the United States. After all, the price sold to the U.S. military is definitely much lower than the price sold internationally, and the profit is not too large.
.
Being able to make a lot of profits depends on sales in the international market.
Only by selling enough quantities and making enough money can their military industrial enterprises have enough funds to continue to develop new fighters and expand their production capacity, forming a virtuous cycle.
Otherwise, like Galaxy Aerospace, it has finally developed an advanced fighter jet, but the number of orders from above is seriously insufficient and the price is low, which is simply not enough to support the operation of the company.
If the cost cannot be recovered, the company will definitely not be able to operate for a long time, let alone form a virtuous cycle.
Invest heavily in research and development, develop prototypes, obtain a large number of orders, earn excess profits, then expand production capacity, and continue to research the next generation of technological products. This is a complete virtuous cycle.
It has many benefits!
One is that it can support a large number of scientists, engineers, and researchers who have been engaged in the research and development of military products for a long time. These personnel can become more and more sophisticated and better in the field of military products.
The other is that we can maintain our strong military production capacity. These military companies cannot stop because no one knows whether a war will break out in the next second.
Only when military-industrial enterprises make money and have enough orders can they expand their production capacity and keep their production lines running, and neither machines nor workers will be left idle.
When necessary, we can expand quickly and develop a strong enough military production capacity so that we will not become panicked when war comes.
Why Americans are keen on selling arms is because it is not only a huge profit from the arms trade, but also to support their country's huge military industry, and to keep their military industry in a strong state.
Sometimes, when there is global peace, there is really no war to fight. It is difficult to sell arms. The Americans themselves have to find trouble and find excuses and reasons to use up a large amount of their own arms.
Fight this today, fight that tomorrow, cause trouble everywhere around the world.
Regardless of the reports every time I read about how many Americans died fighting this war, how many billions they spent, etc., I never see the Americans getting weaker as they fight, on the contrary, they get stronger as they fight.
One is that the war has brought huge benefits to the Americans. Among other things, there is no difference between the oil in the Middle East and the Americans' own oil.
Although Americans themselves produce very little oil now, the world's oil energy is still controlled by Americans.
In addition, a large amount of old munitions are consumed, so that domestic military industrial enterprises can continue to produce and develop rumbles without abandoning their martial arts skills.
In addition, in war after war, the US military has been greatly tempered. The cooperation between the sea, land and air forces, and the use of various weapons, artillery, war weapons, etc. have reached the point of pure passion.
It can be said that the current U.S. military is definitely strong enough to easily crush the military of any country in the world. An army that has been trained in wars all year round will definitely not be any worse, not to mention a U.S. military that is armed to the teeth.
Through foreign wars one after another, the Americans have also demonstrated the power of their arms and weapons to the world, which has also led to the prosperity of the military export business.
So since World War II in the last century, the American has never stopped, but the more he fights, the stronger he gets. This is the reason.
If we can export our air and space fighter jets, among other things, we will be able to grab a lot of the American fighter jet market, and the Americans will not even think about exporting a single fighter jet in the future.
If there is another local war and our own air and space fighter planes show their prowess and overwhelm American fighter planes, there will be no hope of selling these American fighter planes.
Once the Americans cannot sell their fighter planes, their military industry enterprises will not be able to form a virtuous cycle, and eventually this military industry industry will slowly languish.
The higher-ups obviously still take aerospace fighters too seriously, and are afraid that the anti-gravity technology will be leaked, and there is no hope of exporting it for a while.
Now we can only see if we can engage in domestic sales and expand the domestic demand market.
"This should be no problem~"
Li Jun thought for a while and nodded. Currently, domestic civil aviation aircraft still use Boeing and Airbus imported from abroad. Now that anti-gravity technology has been mastered, these will naturally be gradually eliminated.
And in the future, in the global civil aviation field, the country will slowly squeeze out Boeing and Airbus and monopolize the entire huge market.
Boeing can receive orders for thousands of passenger planes a year. Together with Airbus, there is almost a global demand for about 1,500 aircraft in the civil aviation market a year.
Such a huge piece of cake was something that I couldn't eat with drooling eyes before, but now that I have the ability, I won't let it go.
Of course, these are not the key. The real key is what Qin Yi said: In this interstellar space age, what can we do without enough anti-gravity spacecraft?
Now the country is calling on everyone to go to the moon for mining. However, the country currently only has less than 10 anti-gravity spacecraft, which cannot meet the demand for lunar mining.
Once lunar mining takes off, among other things, dozens of flights to and from the moon will be inevitable every day. In addition, the interstellar space industry will require even more spacecraft in the future.
Not only large-scale anti-gravity spacecraft are needed, but more private anti-gravity spacecraft are needed, otherwise this interstellar space age will simply be just talk on paper.
The development speed of Galaxy Aerospace is really too fast. The higher-ups have not yet developed an anti-gravity fighter, but Galaxy Aerospace has already developed the Qingyun aerial fighter.
As long as the higher-ups allow it, it will not be difficult for Galaxy Aerospace to transform the Qingyun Space Fighter into a large civilian anti-gravity spacecraft, and it will be even easier to transform it into a small private anti-gravity aircraft.
The superiors were optimistic about Qin Yi, and they obviously didn't make a mistake.
"He is worthy of being called the Einstein of the 21st century~"
Looking at Qin Yi, Li Jun, Zhao Guoliang, Wu Guan and others in front of them, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"That's good~"
"This country doesn't have many orders, and it doesn't allow exports. If it doesn't even allow domestic sales, I really can't continue to operate."
Hearing Li Jun's answer, Qin Yi also laughed happily.
As long as you are allowed to enter the field of civil aviation, it is still a bit unrealistic to develop private anti-gravity aircraft, but it is still possible to develop large-scale anti-gravity spacecraft and large-scale anti-gravity aircraft.
Nowadays, domestic capital that is ready to make use of lunar resources is suffering from the lack of spacecraft to and from the moon. As long as it is developed by itself, it will definitely not worry about sales.
