Technology Bigshot Chapter 596: ：Let’s sell it]
……
The words of Lao Maozi and Lao Mei are full of gunpowder. At first glance, they are on the bar. This is what Ren Hong is willing to see. Lao Mei and Polar Bear's actions seem a bit stupid, and doing so will only cheapen Matrix Technology. But if you understand the grievances and grievances between the two sides, you will be relieved. The United States and NATO have been sanctioning Russia. They are dead enemies, and it is basically impossible to collude in private. Further, this is called a feud.
"You two, I don't know how many hydrogen bombs Russia and the United States can use? Or related fusion raw materials." Ren Hong said with a smile, calming the atmosphere.
Hydrogen bombs?
Both sides were stunned. There are not many hydrogen bombs. On the bright side, there is only one country with nuclear weapons in the world that is equipped with hydrogen bombs in the sequence of nuclear umbrellas, and that is Ren Hong’s own family. , and the proportion is still low.
The reason is also simple. Our hydrogen bomb is a "ym-type structure", which is excellent for easy maintenance, which is directly reflected in the relatively low cost. The power of the hydrogen bomb is greater than that of the atomic bomb. It is undoubtedly very affordable. You must know that it was very poor in the past, far from being as rich as the Americans. The high-quality and cheap hydrogen bomb is undoubtedly the backbone of the nuclear umbrella.
And the hydrogen bombs of other nuclear countries such as the Americans are difficult to maintain and maintain, and the cost is unbearable.
For these reasons, in the sequence of the nuclear umbrella, it is necessary to increase the number to compete with the Soviet Union. Even rich Americans cannot afford to equip large-scale hydrogen bombs. It is obviously more cost-effective and reliable to equip atomic bombs than hydrogen bombs. Large-scale equipment Nuclear weapons are basically atomic bombs.
Seeing the hesitation of the two, Ren Hong said slowly: "You all know that our company has achieved controllable nuclear fusion technology, so the demand for hydrogen bombs must be higher than the demand for atomic bombs, and I also understand you. The high maintenance cost of the hydrogen bomb is slightly higher, which is more than ten times that of the atomic bomb, which is also due to the small amount of this factor. For the base of your huge nuclear arsenal, the hydrogen bomb is a burden, but it happens to be my The most enthusiastic bomb, so it is easy to negotiate the price, which is very different from the atomic bomb.”
"In other words, I can eat as many hydrogen bombs as you have in your hands." Ren Hong smiled and looked at the two.
On the bright side, there is currently only one country with hydrogen bombs, but I don't really believe it. Lao Maozi and Lao Mei must still have some goods, but they are not many. It is estimated that they will be around 100.
The energy released by the two nuclear reactions, fusion and fission, has a huge energy level difference. Under the same magnitude, the energy directly released by the fusion reaction is ten times or even dozens of times more than that of fission. The hydrogen bomb may be a little more expensive. Even if it is ten times more expensive than the atomic bomb, it is a big profit for Ren Hong, who is only hungry for energy. The energy benefit brought by a hydrogen bomb is more than dozens of atomic bombs. Even if it is ten times the price, it is not difficult to calculate, and it will not This happens.
The Americans and the Russians were stunned when they heard Ren Hong's question, but they were a little embarrassed. Matrix Technology obviously preferred the hydrogen bomb, and the atomic bomb was obviously secondary, and a huge demand of more than 40 billion US dollars was thrown out. , but the goods on hand are simply not enough to sell.
Obviously, Matrix Technology, as a technology company of a nuclear-armed country, has publicly repurchased nuclear bombs to the outside world. It is because it has taken a fancy to a large number of nuclear bombs that the two nuclear superpowers are intractable and will be eager to shoot if they have the opportunity, and they can be recovered. A huge amount of money and can save a lot of periodic maintenance and maintenance costs.
In other words, if a deal is really reached this time, then these nuclear bombs must be sold at a price lower than the cost of construction. This is what Matrix Technology looks at. As a company in a nuclear country If not, it would be better to mass-produce it yourself.
Everyone here knows this point.
It is basically impossible to make a profit from the atomic bomb, but the hydrogen bomb as a fusion nuclear reaction may not be sold cheaply, and the limit can only be recovered.
"The United States has 80 hydrogen bombs of different sizes that can be shot. The smallest yield is 700,000 tons, and the largest is 5.5 million tons." The representative of Laomei spoke first.
Lao Maozi followed suit, saying: "Russia has 60 hydrogen bombs that can be shot, with a minimum yield of 1 million tons and a maximum yield of 7 million tons."
Ren Hong heard the words, thought about it, and then made a final decision: "okay, everyone, then according to my proposal, both the hydrogen bomb and the atomic bomb are calculated according to the equivalent of 1 million tons, and the price of 16 million US dollars will be won. 2000 pieces, one hydrogen bomb plus 1 million US dollars, as for how many hydrogen bombs you have, I will charge as much. As for the specific allocation, you can discuss by yourself.”
As soon as these words came out, Lao Maozi and Lao Mei became anxious at the same time. Isn't the bargaining too harsh? And also unilaterally make decisions, domineering and unreasonable!
"Mr. Ren. You should know that a million-ton atomic bomb costs US$30 million or even US$40 million. You can't accept the price. This is not Chinese cabbage, this is Mr. Nuclear Bomb!"
Ren Hong obviously didn't mean to make a counteroffer, and directly said to the showdown: "Mr. Karowski's offer is a bit inflated. And this account can't be calculated like this. I and all of you here represent countries with nuclear weapons. I don’t know how much it costs to build a nuclear bomb, and I don’t need to know, all I know is that the sum of all aspects of the country’s total expenditure on building a nuclear bomb of the same yield has never exceeded 20 million (US dollars).”
"The quotation of 16 million is very fair. If it weren't for the high cost of construction of the controllable fusion refinery and our leap-forward improvement in the utilization rate of fission nuclear energy, I would not have any interest in fission nuclear materials. I am only interested in I am interested in the hydrogen bomb, so I added 1 million to show my sincerity."
Ren Hong directly explained the key, and finally said: "These bombs are indeed a huge demand for me, but please understand the most critical issue, the bombs in your warehouse are a burden, I am helping You reduce the burden, 16 million seems to be a cheap sale, but you can’t ignore the average annual maintenance and maintenance of a nuclear bomb, and the investment in related human and material resources, these meaningless expenditures cost you an average of 1.2 million US dollars per year.”
Speaking, Ren Hong said with a smile: "In the warehouse, one nuclear bomb will eat up 1.2 million US dollars every year. I sell 2,000 nuclear bombs composed of atomic bombs or hydrogen bombs to me. The astronomical price of 2.5 billion US dollars is a waste of money. What about five years? Ten years? And selling me not only saved the money, but also recovered another 16 million US dollars for a bomb. We have an idiom here, which is called killing two birds with one stone, nothing more than that Win-win cooperation is cooperation.”
"16 million is too much, sir, I can't justify it, how about 20 million?"
"19 million?"
"18 million! Can't go any lower!"
"Mr. Ren, is there really nothing to discuss?"
"I'm also a nuclear-armed country. Our company is not bad for money, but the price must be fair. For a penny more, I'd rather go further and spend more money to entrust my own military-industrial enterprises to produce." Wei Wei stood up with a look of astonishment, added a sentence, and said, "No more, no more, one bomb is 16 million (USD), and refuses to bargain. Don't forget that the bombs I bought are all finished products. The nuclear bomb will cost about $1 million to be processed before it can be put into use, and these are paid for by myself, not you."
He was about to leave without waiting for everyone to answer. Representatives from Britain, France, the United States and Russia also stood up one after another. Just when the old American people wanted to speak, Ren Hong finally added: "Cooperation requires sincerity, everyone. If this price is unacceptable, then there is no need to waste time. Otherwise, you can negotiate on your own. I only need a total number of 2,000 pieces. The hydrogen bomb will not be capped, and the delivery will be completed within one year."
Seeing Ren Hong leave, several people looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
Hob meat ah, pinched the dead end, knowing that even if it is a cheap sale, it will be sold. Nuclear bombs are not for sale, and some countries are even willing to spend ten times the money. For example, the former Libyan tyrant "Laoka" was willing to spend 100 million US dollars for a nuclear warhead, but it is obviously impossible to sell it to the other party.
Reducing the holdings and destroying them is hard not to mention the difficulty. It is a blood loss to destroy tens of millions of bombs in vain. In short, it's a hot potato.
At this time, Matrix Technology jumped out and said loudly that I want to recycle nuclear bombs on a large scale for non-military purposes. In addition, Matrix Technology itself is a nuclear-armed country, and it is used in the energy field instead of military. A series of conditions All satisfied.
It is also the only buyer in the world that can be assured. If you don't sell others, you will still have fun.
So it's a bargain!
