A series of data that popped up from Yao Chongshan's mouth completely shocked Li Yifan.

In the past, he only knew that Yao Chongshan later became a master in this field with his unique skills in the 3D printing technology industry, but he didn't know that this person actually knew so much about business.

Especially as a technical otaku who specializes in technology, he actually knows so much business data, which is definitely not something he can imagine.

"Brother Li, I'm not bragging."

Yao Chongshan, who was a little drunk, regarded Li Yifan's shocked expression as a little hesitant, so he immediately explained to him.

"In recent years, the country's economy has developed rapidly, especially in the southern area. The private economy has developed even more rapidly. There are countless factories of all sizes and big and small, and the demand for electricity is very high. Whenever the electricity consumption peak in summer, some places even have to take time-limited power supply measures to remove power from some areas in turn to ensure the power supply in industrial areas. The power supply has always been strongly controlled by the state. The continuous complaints of local governments at all levels have also attracted the attention of the central government. Therefore, the Development and Finance Committee began to organize experts and scholars in the past two years.

A large-scale survey was conducted on the supply and use of electricity across the country, and then a series of plans for expansion of power infrastructure were formulated. The power companies are large customers of large-scale casting and forging steel parts. Therefore, my mentor, as an expert in steel casting and forging, was also fortunate to participate in the survey of supply and use in stores nationwide led by the power companies, and also participated in a series of subsequent plans. And I was fortunate to stay by my teacher and participated in this plan formulation, so I learned so much."

Yao Chongshan's words made Li Yifan nod. It seemed that the Finance and Investment Committee did not just do a price increase or just defend the price increase, but did such a practical thing.

"Now, most of the power supply companies in the country use the older generation of thermal efficiency boilers. In terms of the current world pattern, this boiler is already outdated. Not only is the thermal efficiency low, but the power generation efficiency is also relatively poor. Therefore, during the new store expansion, many power companies are trying their best to use supercritical boilers. This kind of boiler has been used abroad for a long time, and we also used this boiler in the two nuclear power plants we built a few years ago. The effect is much better than that of the ordinary older generation boilers, and the thermal efficiency must be increased by at least 15 to 20%. To use the new generation of supercritical boilers, a large number of new generation of cast and forged steel accessories must be used, and according to my

Understand that such large cast and forged steel accessories. Currently, only a few manufacturers in China can produce them, but the production cost is high. Baosteel and Ansteel can produce them. However, the yield rate of such cast and forged accessories they produce is only about 50% from blank to final yield. Such a low yield rate has led to their high product cost. Compared with Japanese accessories in the market, there is almost no comparison at all. Therefore, many power supply companies are almost willing to choose to import Japanese products. In this way, the foreign exchange required by my country's power companies and Japanese cast and forged steel accessories purchased by Japan every year is as high as billions of dollars."

Yao Chongshan's words almost made Li Yifan's eyes shine. Billions of dollars a year, what a big market is this?

Moreover, in the next ten years, according to his understanding, the country will embark on a crazy expansion in terms of electricity supply. Large and small thermal power and hydropower projects will be launched one after another. At that time, even if I can only get one tenth of them, I am afraid that it will be a business worth more than one billion US dollars a year!

What a big piece of cake!

"In the past two years, my teacher and I have also gone to enterprises like Baosteel and Ansteel to study the processes and processes of producing such large-scale casting and forging accessories. Later we found that on the one hand, they were lagging behind in the process of smelting iron, and on the other hand, when processing those casting and forging parts in the later stage, they were not very qualified in molds and processing processes. It is precisely because of these reasons that the main reason why the yield rate of their production products is relatively low. However, for various reasons, these enterprises have not strong desire to change the production process and process, which has led to that in the next few years, we will be in this large-scale casting process. However, for various reasons, these enterprises are not very strong in changing the production process and process. This has led to the fact that in the next few years, we will be in this large-scale casting process.

In the field of forging accessories, it may have to be imported from Japan. Later I kept thinking that if we could develop appropriate 3D printing technology to develop a newer generation of molds, and then use casting methods to make these accessories in the later stage, we could save a lot of late production process processes, improve yield, save production time, save production materials costs, and greatly improve our production efficiency. Unfortunately, my teacher was too conservative. He thought my idea was a bit whimsical. This 3D printing technology was just a flash in the pan and could not truly become a pioneer of future technology... Alas! "

Speaking of this, Yao Chongshan immediately became depressed, and Li Yifan also understood him very well.

After all, those who are engaged in scientific research in China, especially the older generation, now occupy the commanding heights of the scientific research field, so they are often respected as teachers and experts.

But it is their generation that has now become a stumbling block to the development of domestic technology, especially some so-called "experts".

They have never been abroad, nor have they been influenced and educated by the scientific research attitude that dares to "question". They have grown up with obedient education in China. Under this educational system, you are absolutely not allowed to challenge authority. Whatever the teacher says is right. If you want to doubt it, then you are deviant.

Moreover, their generation did not receive any professional training in the early years. They usually went to universities after the great movement. After the reform and opening up, they were impacted by the tide of Western culture and technology, and were shocked by foreign technology.

In addition, over the years, we have not developed any technology that can challenge the West in technology, so in our hearts, they naturally think that we are shorter than others.

If we want to play innovation, we can't play with others, so innovation is simply a waste of money. It's better to just follow the butts of Westerners honestly.

It’s better to buy ready-made ones yourself? It is precisely such people who can occupy the high-end of my country’s scientific research field, which has led to a long-term stagnation in the field of science and technology, and can only survive by buying some outdated and outdated patents from abroad.

Yao Chongshan's idea of ​​overtaking on a curve and taking a different approach at this time is of course absurd and undesirable in the eyes of people like his teacher.

But Li Yifan didn't think so, and it was precisely because of this that both of them were optimistic about 3D printing technology and its important impact on future technological development that Yao Chongshan, who was always a little proud, quietly took him as his confidant.

"Damn, they don't support you, I support you. Anyway, I am very optimistic about this technology. Brother Yao, don't worry, as long as you are willing to come over, I will definitely be willing to invest money in it. If you don't see any results in a year or two, it doesn't matter, it's okay, three or four years or more. As long as you can finally get what you think of, that's what you will do."

"real?"

Yao Chongshan was also a little excited. If Li Yifan had said this when he had not revealed his wealth, he might have thought that Li Yifan was bragging, but now Li Yifan has revealed his identity.

The eldest young master of Zhengyang Hotel, the young boss of Phoenix Winery, the founder of Red Lantern Dairy, a young man who easily earns hundreds of millions of dollars. If such a person is willing to invest money for himself, he will be afraid of being too scared.

Yao Chongshan still underestimated Li Yifan a bit, but it is understandable. After all, for scientific researchers at his level, there are not many high-level rich people who can be contacted, so he estimated that Li Yifan could only earn hundreds of millions a year, and he didn't want much. As long as he invested tens of millions of dollars a year, he could produce this 3D printing technology for you.

If he had known at this time that Li Yifan's net worth had already exceeded 10 billion yuan and could give him 100 million US dollars in scientific research funds every year, he would have to faint happily.

"Then there is still a fake? I have considered that all the big foreign companies have studied. Their way to make a fortune is to be willing to spend money on research. As long as they can finally develop technology and master unique skills, they will be able to enter a seller's market model in the future. It will not be the same as picking up money at that time? So Brother Yao, don't worry, you want you to join in, and I will find you a few helpers at that time. Hehe, the fund I give you every year will be at least 100 million. What do you think!?"

Li Yifan said to Yao Chongshan with a smile, and Yao Chongshan was a little unhappy when he first heard Li Yifan say that he wanted to find some helpers for himself. What? Do you doubt my ability?

But later when he heard that Li Yifan's institute gave him at least 100 million yuan in scientific research every year, his half-drunk mind immediately seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water, and he didn't bother to worry about Li Yifan asking for help for himself.

"Brother, I heard it right!? Say it again, how much scientific research fund do you give every year??"
