Zhong Yi nodded heavily and said: "If you still have more money, a thousand will be even better!"
"Oh my god, Ziren, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhang Mouzhi was so frightened that he kept crossing himself on his chest and almost couldn't help but touch Zhong Yi's forehead to see if his little son-in-law was out of his mind. .
Zhong Yi immediately shook his head and said: "But I also know very well that one thousand is impossible."
"You still know it's impossible." Zhang Mouzhi said speechlessly, "The National Government has used all the efforts of the whole country to purchase less than a thousand aircraft of various types from abroad. How can you, by yourself, compete with one country?"
"That's different." Zhong Yi said decisively, "The National Government has mobilized the whole country to purchase aircraft. It would be good if one-third of the funds can be put to practical use, but if I buy an aircraft, it will definitely be a big deal. Half a point will never be wasted! So the number of aircraft you can buy will be much more than them."
Zhang Mouzhi asked anxiously: "Do you know how much a plane costs?"
"Of course I know." Zhong Yi said, "The current official purchase price of a P-40 fighter jet is approximately US$55,000."
Zhang Mouzhi said angrily: "One aircraft costs 55,000 US dollars, and a thousand aircraft is 55 million US dollars. Even if you sell the novel for 10 million US dollars, there is still a shortfall of 45 million US dollars."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Mouzhi clapped his hands and said urgently: "Zi Ren, there is something I have to tell you clearly. The country is the country and the family is the family. The two cannot be confused. We cannot put everything in for the sake of the country. , we two are married to each other, but if you ask me to donate all my family property to buy an airplane, that won¡¯t work!¡±
After speaking, he seemed to be worried that Zhong Yi would be angry, and then said: "I will donate at most ten fighter jets to you."
"Deal!" Zhong Yi laughed and said, "Dad, I didn't ask you to donate all your property. If you can donate me ten fighter jets, I'll be satisfied."
"Uh" Zhang Mouzhi was speechless.
But he couldn¡¯t help but be curious, Zhang Mouzhi said: ¡°Zi Ren, where are you going to raise money?¡±
"Dad, don't worry about it. Anyway, I can think of a solution." Zhong Yi said again, "Now let's talk about your problem."
Zhang Mouzhi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Zi Ren, please don't scare me. What problem can I have?"
"Dad, I think you're worried." Zhong Yi said with a smile, "I'm talking about investment. Didn't I just talk about investing in American industries? I suggest you directly invest in Curtiss-Wright Company. No need. It must be a controlling shareholder, but it must be at least a second shareholder and have sufficient influence on the board of directors.¡±
"Buy a stake in Curtiss-Wright?" Zhang Mouzhi said, "How much will it cost?"
Zhong Yi said: "The current Curtiss-Wright Company is just trying to support itself. Although it will not go bankrupt, the American industrial world is generally in a slump today, and Curtiss-Wright Company is not much better, so it is not worth investing in shares. How much, if my estimate is correct, two to three million US dollars is enough to purchase more than 40% of the shares."
The scale of Curtiss-Wright Company is indeed small now. The real big development of this company came when the United States entered the war. With the influx of military orders, the entire aircraft company expanded rapidly like a balloon. In less than four years, Within a year, more than 30,000 aircraft of various types were produced!
Zhang Mouzhi said in astonishment: "You can buy more than 40% of the shares with two to three million US dollars?"
"It should be no problem." Zhong Yi said, "But you have to act quickly. I heard rumors that the U.S. military will soon place an order for a batch of fighter jets, with the number being as high as 500. And this order is likely to fall. It¡¯s on the head of Curtiss-Wright Company, so dad, you have to hurry up, otherwise the price you have to pay will increase exponentially when the order is finalized.¡±
"Okay, okay." Zhang Mouzhi was moved and said repeatedly, "I will contact you tomorrow."
Zhong Yi continued: "On the day of the formal negotiation, remember to call me and I will check it for you."
"Of course." Zhang Mouzhi said without hesitation, "For such a big decision, I must ask for your opinion."
While the two were talking, old Commodus suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. Zhang Mouzhi knew that the two had copyright matters to discuss, so he stood up and left immediately.
Old Commodus sat down, smiled and said to Zhong Yi: "Zhong, I heard Senator McConaughey say that today's book fan meeting was very successful. How much money was raised?"
"Just over one million." Zhong Yi shook his head.
Old Commodus laughed and said: "Just over one million? Zhong, do you know what a huge number one million is? How many people can't make one hundred thousand in their lifetime!"
"But for me, it's still a drop in the bucket." Zhong Yi shook his head and said??, "Mr. Commodus, are you sending me money? Have the royalties for the fourth volume of Harry Potter come out?"
"Oh, my God, do you only have money in your eyes?" Old Commodus shrugged and said with a smile, "Shouldn't we just talk about literature? Really, I really want to discuss literature with you , it¡¯s a pity that you are not interested.¡±
"No, no, no, it's not that I'm not interested." Zhong Yi shook his head and sighed, "I'm not in the mood."
"Okay, okay, you're not in the mood." Old Commodus said, "The first royalty payment for the fourth volume of Harry Potter has indeed reached the payment date. This is the first two million US dollars."
After speaking, Old Commodus handed over a check.
Zhong Yi took the check and immediately said, "Mr. Commodus, can you pay the royalties in one lump sum?"
"You really have no money." Old Commodus shouted. "In order to buy the copyright of the first two volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire, I not only spent all the savings of the publishing house and the Commodus family, but even had to bear the burden of astronomy. Digital debt, God, I thought I must be crazy to do something like this.¡±
After talking about this for a while, Old Commodus said again: "To be honest, I wanted to withhold this two million US dollars in royalties from you first, but then I thought about it and thought that your country is at war. You It¡¯s not easy to be the commander-in-chief of a group army, so I can only give you the royalties.¡±
"Come on, come on." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Mr. Commodus, don't look bitter. I know you are secretly having fun in your heart. The full copyright of the first two volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire can bring you The interests of your Commodus family are far more than 10 million US dollars, so you actually made a lot of money from this transaction."
"God only knows whether it will be a profit or a loss." Old Commodus shrugged and said, "I just heard that you were planning to invest in Curtiss-Wright Company? This is not a good idea. There is no future in the industry now."
Zhong Yi did not explain much to old Commodus. He shook his head and said, "I asked my father-in-law to invest in Curtiss Company just to purchase P-40 Tomahawk fighter jets at cost price!" (Remember this site's website address: www .hlnovel.com
