Chapter 336

All of them require a considerable amount of money.

Moreover, the purchase price is calculated separately.

But now that the carbon fiber equipment has been bottlenecked, Lin Yi has no choice but to spend heavily.

Looking at the 24.3 billion US dollars lying in the system after deducting the Long Guo transaction, plus what was currently on Fengyi Technology's books, and after adding the Tesla deposit,

by the time mid-March arrived, there was already 1.353 billion Hua currency in cash.

All of this is Lin Yi's current wealth.

"System, how much would it cost to package-upgrade the carbon fiber manufacturing equipment to the 2010 version?"

Lin Yi said.

Because if not upgraded, all of the equipment in the system's technology tree right now is Generation Products from the 40s-80s,

the same as the weapons catalog.

But because production technology certainly includes many kinds of equipment, upgrading them one by one would be too troublesome.

Lin Yi wanted to ask whether a package upgrade was possible.

"Ding... calculating...."

Carbon fiber manufacturing equipment includes surface treatment equipment, gas-phase or liquid-phase oxidation equipment, and so on.

It mainly includes injection molding machines, melt spinning machines, carbonization furnaces, stretching machines, winding machines, mixers, crushers, and so on.

"The host may spend 200 million US dollars to resolve all production equipment..."

"What about upgrading to the 2020 version?"

"Ding... calculating...."

"The host may spend 800 million US dollars to resolve all production equipment!"

Hearing this price, Lin Yi could still accept it.

In practical terms, for carbon fiber production technology, the most important pieces are the melt spinning machines and carbonization furnaces.

For equipment like injection molding machines, mixers, and crushers, even 70s-generation products would not differ much from today's.

The system's upgrade prices for this category of machinery are extremely low.

This is completely different from upgrading the weapons catalog.

"Then upgrade all the carbon fiber production equipment to the 2020 version!"

"Ding... upgrade complete, 800 million US dollars deducted"

Looking at the funds in his overseas account—24.3 billion US dollars minus 800 million—

there were now only 23.5 billion US dollars left.

Lin Yi could not help but sigh, this money really doesn't last long either, 2.5

Just now he had spent four billion Hua currency in one go; he estimated that when it came to spending money, probably no one could compare to him.

The good news was, after deducting 800 million US dollars.

The purchase price of carbon fiber production equipment was no longer considered expensive.

Even the production equipment of the most cutting-edge little-day Toray company,

a production line with an annual output of 5,000 tons,

would only cost a little over 60 million.

Don't think this quantity is small—that is because carbon fiber is difficult to manufacture and light in weight.

For the entire year of 2015, global carbon fiber production was only 135,000 tons.

As long as Lin Yi was willing to set up ten production lines,

he could reach nearly one-third of global capacity.

He would let those little-day, ugly-country folks who had always refused to expand capacity for the sake of high profits

suffer a big loss.

Especially these countries, relying on One's Own Technology, in the name of the CoCom agreement, had always refused to export cutting-edge Fiber Products to Long Guo.

Soon, these countries' Fiber Products would no longer be the most advanced on the market.

As for whether they would still be willing to sell, the people of Long Guo probably wouldn't mind.

Thus, quietly and without a sound.

A carbon fiber manufacturing brand was born under Fengyi Technology—"Weilong" Fiber Goods.
