Chapter 36 Project Progress [Fourth Update]
They were defeated and scared! However, they did not know that Zhang Heng used a lot of titanium alloy in the whole vehicle, which was a borderline statement. It is indeed titanium alloy, but it is not a pure titanium alloy. It is a mixture of multiple metals under the name of titanium alloy. It is a new mixed metal. So far, the mining ship is not enough to mine titanium ore? A car uses about 1 ton of titanium ore, mixed with other metals. Titanium ore and titanium alloy are essentially different, which is the same as copper ore and pure copper. Copper ore costs only about 80,000 yuan per ton, which can be processed and refined into pure copper, but 58 million per ton. The gap between the two is huge, because one ton of copper ore is not enough to extract 1 ton of pure copper. It takes about 700 tons to extract 1 ton of pure copper, so the price is naturally different. The same is true for titanium alloy. Therefore, the price of titanium ore is generally around 40 million per ton. When it is processed into titanium metal powder and then synthesized into titanium alloy, the price becomes 1,000 yuan/1 ton. 1 ton is as high as 1 billion.
Even so.
This cool supercar uses 1 ton of titanium ore, mixed with other metals, including some rare earths, and the total cost is quite high, exceeding 80 million.
Well, in fact, when it comes to Zhang Heng, the cost is only 60 million, because 20 million worth of metals are mined by the mining ship itself.
Zhang Heng didn't know what the group was thinking, but he could guess it more or less. It was clear from his expression. He didn't point it out, and continued with a smile: "There is also an SUV model and an extended version of the sedan model. The materials used are similar. Now there are only parts. I will take you in to see!"
As he spoke, he continued to lead the way.
"No need!"
The deputy Liu pretended to be calm, his mind was shocked as never before: "Just take a tour, it's because you, Mr. Zhang, are engaged in the mining business. If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to be so luxurious and use so many precious metals."
"This, haha... indeed, I am engaged in this business, so the cost will be much less!"
Zhang Heng skipped it lightly and continued: "Experimental models are expensive."
"Mr. Zhang, your... even if it is at cost price, a car will cost more than 10 billion. Are you willing to drive such a car out? What if it is scratched or rubbed?"
The head of the county also recovered and joked: "The loss is huge. Once someone hits it, the other party will pay a lot."
"Haha... don't worry about this. Just talking about the color of the car body, it is titanium alloy, silver, and you don't need to paint it. If you accidentally rub it, even a piece of paint will not fall off. If you hit it, it will hardly leave a mark!"
Zhang Heng followed with a smile and said, "So...if nothing unexpected happens, the worry is that the other car will need a major overhaul, but my car...will be fine."
"This thick car has such an advantage."
"Hahaha..."
"The car owners in our county are going to be in trouble."
"I personally think this is good. With Mr. Zhang's car joining, it can also curb those reckless car owners and warn them to drive carefully?"
"I suggest that we can report it, which can be regarded as a safe driving education!"
"I agree!"
"Don't be so intentional. Simply report that the cost of this experimental car is not cheap. It is a good warning."
"Agree!"
All of a sudden, the topic went off track, and the heads of the county were talking one after another.
After a long while!
"Let's go, let's go to the construction site to take a look!"
The deputy surnamed Liu did not stop it. It was a bit deliberate, but he did not deviate from the core values. He agreed in his heart, but he did not express his opinion. Seeing that it was almost time, he started the last trip of this trip: "See if there is any support needed from China Construction Group."
Show!
It is inevitable, but there has already been a show, and there is nothing to say about another one. The TV station people are all here. After shooting the beginning, there must be a perfect ending, right?
In addition, there may be difficulties that need to be solved. If possible, they can be solved by working on the spot.
Everything has two sides.
Obviously, the person in charge of China Construction Group here has received the news long ago and made preparations.
Speech is inevitable, this time it is much shorter, followed by a large-scale inspection of the troops.
"The total progress of the construction has reached 60%, and four large warehouses are expected to be officially completed the day after tomorrow." The person in charge of the project site made a progress report, as brief as possible: "The individual progress of the oil tank has also reached about 75%, and the reconstruction of the dock is slower." "Yes!" Deputy Liu nodded and said slowly: "The construction of the dock itself is difficult." "My personal requirement is that we must ensure quality and quantity, and we must not lose face for China Construction Group or our city." "Chief Engineer Zhao, it seems that... your construction team should continue to expand!" Deputy Liu said this sentence with deep meaning. "Indeed, it's time to expand!" Zhang Heng also spoke. ...
