Chapter 216: Major Military Procurement! Haggling!

However, after Colonel Song explained the situation, the research institute immediately said:

"Something major has happened here; the data for a carbon fiber sample has completely exploded!"

"What? Exploded!"

Colonel Song, the officer responsible for external liaison with the research institute, was startled.

To hear the word "exploded" coming from the research institute

meant that a product had definitely achieved a massive breakthrough.

Thinking of the carbon fiber samples from Fengyi Technology that he had delivered that morning,

"It can't be such a coincidence!" Song Song Tiejun exclaimed in shock.

He immediately rushed from his logistics department office toward the research institute.

As a result, when he arrived at the materials division, he saw a group of researchers already gathered there.

Inside, bursts of near-screaming voices erupted from time to time.

When Song Song Tiejun arrived,

immediately a chief researcher grabbed him and asked,

"Colonel Song, is this the sample you delivered?"

Song Song Tiejun looked at the sample; although every carbon fiber sample looked nearly identical,

he still recognized that the one before him was indeed the one he had delivered.

This was because the paper tube used by Fengyi Technology to wind the carbon fiber filaments had a red interior.

This detail remained vividly fresh in his memory.

So, he nodded.

Instantly, a group of researchers fixed burning gazes upon him, and the chief researcher even seized his arm, asking anxiously,

"Which manufacturer produced this sample? Do you know?"

Song Song Tiejun felt somewhat uneasy under the researchers' fiery stares, so he hurriedly said,

"Fengyi Technology!"

"Fengyi Technology... why does that name sound so familiar!"

the chief researcher remarked.

Then, it suddenly struck him: wasn't this the company that supplied battery packs for the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic catapults?

Moreover, their batteries were now the top choice for high-end mobile phones in Dragon Country.

They were deeply favored by domestic phone manufacturers such as Huawei and Lei Lei Xiaomi.

"But... isn't Fengyi Technology a battery research enterprise? How did they suddenly enter the carbon fiber industry, and moreover, produce something surpassing the products of Ugly Country and Rizi Country?"

"How would I know? I only received this item yesterday. A couple of days ago, the boss of Fengyi Technology asked me to test their product. At the time, I thought, a manufacturer producing batteries should be researching better battery products,

so why would they suddenly start working on carbon fiber? I didn't take it seriously at all!"

Speaking to this point, Colonel Song hurriedly asked,

"Is this fiber from Fengyi Technology truly that advanced?"

"Let me put it this way: the data for this product far exceeds the military-grade carbon fiber materials that Ugly Country and Little Japan currently ban from exporting to Dragon Country.

Once Dragon Country possesses it, there will be tremendous breakthroughs in the aerospace industry, domestically produced large aircraft, and cutting-edge fighter jets.

So, do you think it's advanced or not...."

Hearing the chief researcher speak in such terms,

Song Song Tiejun immediately placed a call to Lin Yi.

At that moment, Lin Yi, who was attending a public meeting in Modu, saw Song Song Tiejun's name on the caller ID and answered directly.

"Hello, Colonel Song, is there something you need?"

"President Lin, tell me, can your company mass-produce this new type of carbon fiber product?"

Song Song Tiejun asked anxiously.

After all, if it were merely a small-scale laboratory product and could not be mass-produced,

then no matter how excellent the product was, it would be useless if it could not be applied.

Hearing him ask this, Lin Yi curved the corners of his mouth; he understood that Colonel Song must have sent Fengyi Technology's product to the research institute for testing.

The results obtained must have been a huge shock.

That was why he had hastily made this call.

"How much do you want...!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

Hearing him speak like this, how could Song Song Tiejun not understand,

and he immediately broke into a smile.

"You must keep your phone powered on these next two days; I will report this matter upward first!"

"Rest assured, my phone uses my company's batteries; its standby time is super long!"

Lin Yi joked, then added,

"I'll wait for your news!"

"Mm!"

With that, Colonel Song hung up the phone.

Next, Song Song Tiejun reported the matter to the military.

In response, the military attached great importance to it and immediately investigated the details thoroughly.

After receiving confirmation from the research institute,

the military dispatched Song Song Tiejun to Modu to verify the matter.

Once confirmed, the military would purchase Fengyi Technology's T1300 carbon fiber products at a high price.

The following day, Song Song Tiejun flew by military aircraft to Modu and went directly to Fengyi Technology's new headquarters in Songjiang District.

Lin Yi hosted him just as he had before.

He also accompanied him to tour the carbon fiber production workshop,

"Our company uses PAN precursor materials and high-temperature carbonization processes. At this stage, we can produce carbon fiber tows of various strengths ranging from T300 to T1300,

and we can also produce carbon fiber products with tensile moduli from M30 to M60, as well as small and large tows of 1K, 3K, 6K, 12K, 24K, and 50K!"

Hearing the explanation from the supervisor in charge of production at Fengyi Technology,

Song Song Tiejun was extremely excited; looking at Lin Yi, who was accompanying him, he said with a smile,

"President Lin, you have given me another surprise; remarkable, truly remarkable!"

"Colonel Song and everyone else, come, let's have some tea while we talk!"

Lin Yi said.

"Good!" Song Song Tiejun did not stand on ceremony.

After all, the two had dealt with each other many times and were long familiar.

However, seeing Lin Yi for the first time today, he was startled.

How could their appearance and height differ so much? If one did not look closely,

he would hardly recognize Lin Yi in this state.

Although Lin Yi explained it as a second growth spurt, Song Song Tiejun always felt this second growth was a bit excessive.

Of course, he had not come to Modu to inquire about Lin Yi's development.

After confirming that the person before him was indeed the owner of Fengyi Group,

he could only assume the man possessed extraordinary talents during his growth process.

After Bai Bai Jie and Tang Tang Chuyu brewed tea for several officers, Song Song Tiejun glanced at the two secretaries,

secretly thinking the young man enjoyed immense romantic fortune, before saying:

"We have seen the materials; they are indeed excellent. However, I wish to ask, Mr. Lin, exactly how much of the T1300 model can your company produce in a year?"

"How much does the military need?" Lin Yi asked.

Song Song Tiejun directly raised two fingers and stated the quota assigned to him by the military:

"Two thousand tons!"

Hearing this quantity, Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.

This was no small amount, after all.

Long Country's entire carbon fiber output last year was only seven thousand tons,

yet very little of that met military requirements.

Lin Yi had thought the military's annual demand would be at most a few hundred tons,

yet Song Song Tiejun was directly requesting two thousand tons.

"It can be done!" Lin Yi said.

At these words, Song Song Tiejun's face lit up with joy.

"Good! I knew Mr. Lin would not let us down!"

"Senior Colonel Song, do not rejoice just yet; I still have something to say!" Lin Yi said.

"Mr. Lin, please speak!" Song Song Tiejun said.

"Senior Colonel Song and all comrades from the military, you should also understand the effort a company must expend to research such high-tech technology!"

Lin Yi said solemnly.

At this, everyone present nodded.
