The next day, Daniel received a reply from China: Yes! In fact, even if it really costs 200 million US dollars, it is not very high in aerospace. It can only be said to be a bit painful. Because aerospace is not a rational industry in the first place - national security is above all else!
However, Daniel's good mood only lasted for ten minutes before it was completely destroyed!
Gaoshou Company does not provide any original materials, only finished products. As for where the finished product comes from? Of course you provide the data and we process it!
This is unscientific! Daniel slammed the table on the spot. Aerospace is an industry that involves national security. Therefore, a lot of parts and components data are confidential. Most aerospace parts, especially military and defense space exploration technologies, are developed and produced by the country itself. Even if we have to purchase items from abroad, we always try to purchase raw materials. Of course, some key parts also import finished products.
However, companies like Gaoshou, which let others provide technology and process and digest it themselves, are unique in the high-end field! Don’t blame Daniel for slamming the table. Such behavior is simply extortion!
However, for the sake of his own pocket, Tang Feng also used all his abilities, from materials to national security to the rapidly changing and unpredictable international environment to the booming space exploration and construction. Most importantly, Daniel had to admit , I really have to do this.
It's just that this situation is, of course, something that Daniel Gavanagh cannot decide. He himself is just purchasing. If it involves these core technologies, even Magellan Airlines needs to report to the Canadian state.
The situation here at Gaoshou Company was quickly reported to Canada, and then it reached the hands of the Canadian government as soon as possible.
Soon, relevant personnel and departments began to discuss this issue and decide whether to agree to such harsh conditions.
The opponents believe that without these materials, the country's aviation industry can still have fun. It has been developing very well before. Could it be that with the availability of these materials, it will suddenly be strengthened several times!
Those who agree believe that after verification, such materials can really bring about unexpected changes in the aviation industry.
But no matter which party, a core issue is: once you agree to the terms of the master company, it will be equivalent to providing the country's cutting-edge technology to others for free. Such conditions are unacceptable under any circumstances. The design of any component has gone through a lot of accumulation, calculation, testing, and adjustment. Every angle and every data has been obtained at an unimaginable cost!
"Customize some parts in small quantities, just as a trial first. It doesn't involve the core technology. After all, China is also a major aviation country, and I think they don't lack some things." Finally, someone came up with a passable suggestion.
"Is that possible? The design drawings we provide should not be too precise or even have some errors. After we come back, we will further process them through laser processing and other processing technologies!"
"This, only some parts can be used. Most of the parts need to be formed at one time, and it is almost impossible to repair them later!"
"Okay, that's it!" Canada finally decided to be the first to eat the crab.
However, Magellan Airlines has to re-verify which parts can be exposed. More than ten days have passed.
It wasn't until the morning of August 12th, local time in China, that the anxious Daniel received the domestic order. No matter what conditions the master company had, he accepted it first, ordered some parts worth 200 million US dollars, and came back to try it out first.
From Canada's perspective, although Gaoshou Company's products have always been expensive, the quality is still guaranteed; therefore, since Gaoshou Company dares to offer such high prices, it must be value for money.
However, when Daniel felt that he should be able to get the order, Tang Feng told Daniel seriously: He needed to pay 10% more processing fees!
In an instant, Daniel had the tendency to turn into a bomb. You are going too far! After thinking twice, Daniel still felt that this was worth trying.
Of course, Tang Feng was very "kind" and did not tell Daniel Gavana that all parts, etc., needed to be backed up in China! Even all the technical information here needs to be summarized and handed over to the state! Of course, depending on the situation of the data, the state will purchase it at a price ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands yuan or even higher.
Daniel paid a total of US$200 million to Gaoshou Company, with a contract of 1 billion yuan in Chinese currency; he could obtain a total of 91 kilograms of parts.
In order to maximize profits, all parts should be small in size or thin in thickness. For example, an aerodynamic control component is only 0.3mm thick.
In this regard, Gaoshou Company just laughed. There is no need to worry about it now. When the company becomes famous, the price will naturally continue to increase. The important thing is that in this process, many other people's cutting-edge scientific research results can be obtained. Is there any better deal?
In fact, in the aviation industry, some key component technologies are losing money even if they are sold at platinum prices. It’s just that the first order from a master’s company is very important now!
The parts weighing 91 kilograms actually contain nearly 200 parts of various sizes, with a total of 13 kinds of technical design information.
Even if an expert company wants to complete some processing, it will take a lot of time. In addition, it was the first time to produce, so it was inevitable that there would be some unfamiliarity. Therefore, the master company completely lost money on this order. Of course, cultivating skilled workers for this purpose and mastering the technology can be considered a different kind of gain.
At the end of August, all these parts were produced. After strict inspection, all dimensions were within the allowable error. Of course, for the first production, the accuracy of some parts is just up to standard. In fact, if some of the information provided by Canada is wrong and can be corrected, the processing accuracy requirements may be higher.

Look everyone, our first order was successful! This is information! Zhang Jingyuan happily gathered his friends.
"This data is wrong!" Jiang Huilan raised a question at first sight, "According to the existing design concept and the aero-engine technology I am now exposed to, the angle of this part, etc., has obviously been modified."
"Haha, this is normal. We want to collect the world's cutting-edge technology through this method, and others cannot just sit back and wait. However, any further modifications must be based on evidence. I believe that with the development, we will provide these modified information to Return to the original state." Feng Xuezhi didn't care.
"These bastards, we kindly provide them with services, but they actually provide false information!" Zhang Jingyuan was dissatisfied, "The next order, the price will be increased!"
"How much increase is appropriate?" Zhou Feixuan asked. "Ask the national personnel. They happen to be here to hand over this information. Some key components are more expensive than diamonds." Zhang Jingyuan had to admit his lack of knowledge.
