Chapter 81 The Beginning of the Great Change (20)

Liang Yuan and Liu Wenyue said that the introduction of 2.0 micron process technology is not far away, but it is actually benefiting from the invisible benefits of this technology transaction.

For the Republic, we did not hesitate to take out superconducting materials and communicate with the United States, which itself represents an attitude.

The United States is not a monolithic part. Some people who shout harshly towards China will naturally say that they will ease towards China.

Generally speaking, members of Congress who clamor for being harsh on China basically have good relationships with Bay County, but the situation here is also complicated.

For example, Bay County has been interested in F15 fighter jets for a long time. With the severe punishment of the Republic, McDonald naturally has the intention to promote the transaction, but Grumman's interests are on the opposite side of the strait, and he still expects to ease relations and win the order for replacement of the main fighter jets of the Republic's Navy and Air Force. Therefore, this pair of original mortal enemies in the arms industry mobilized their respective agents to fight within Congress.

Although McDonald had the intention to promote the arms sales of F15 to Taiwan, Douglas, who was inside McDonald, was very dissatisfied with this. Once McDonald's arms sales to Taiwan were successful, the good relationship between civilian aircraft and the Republic since the 1970s was definitely ruined.

In the future, F16 fighter jets will enter Taiwan because General Dynamics (GD), a manufacturer of F16 fighter jets, has no business in the territory of the Republic, so it is naturally unscrupulous.

When Liang Yuan just came here, he often confused several major general-purposes in the United States. Opposite the Pacific Ocean, the word general is like 8 and 6 in the Republic's numbers, which is a super hot word for Americans to register companies.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the top 500 global groups with the name of General Motors in the United States could find as many as five, the most famous of which was General Motors (GE), which Edison was founded. The business overlap between Ge and Yuanjia mainly ranged in the aero engine field, medical field and power generation field.

General Dynamics (GD) is the top defense contractor on this planet. The US Army's m1a1 tank, the US Air Force's F16 fighter jet, the US Navy's Ohio-class nuclear submarine, the North Star, the Militia, and the Trident intercontinental ballistic missile are all produced by General Dynamics. The founder of General Dynamics is the pioneer of the US submarine industry - John Philip Holland.

General Motors (GM) has a great investment in the Republic. General Motors' auto brand Buick and Chevrolet have always been a strong competitor in the Republic's automobile industry. The founder of General Motors is David Buick, one of the early investors in the American automobile industry.

There is also a general brand abbreviation with (gm) as the trademark. This company called General Mill is often known to foodies. The snack food is a wonderful crisp corner and the Haagen-Dazs ice cream that girls like are all brands under this Fortune 500 company.

In addition to the most famous four major companies in the United States, there is also a more awesome ga-asi (generic atom). This company is the main implementer of the US Star Wars plan. Space orbital guns, laser defense weapons, superconducting electromagnetic guns, and nuclear submarine reactors are all the business scope of this company. However, after the Cold War, the US military expenditure was reduced, and the ga-asi (generic atom) business was cut to pieces and was eventually shared by arms giants such as Hughes and Lockheed Martin in a series of mergers.

After the advent of the Internet era, General Insurance Company (GR) under the global stock god Buffett replaced the position of GA-ASI (general atom), and continued to write the legend of the word general in the American corporate world.

After understanding these major past and present lives across the Pacific Ocean, Liang Yuan accidentally found that he seemed to have a special liking for the United. For example, Yuanjia currently has United Airlines and United Trust.

When will Yuanjia united the number to develop the Universal Number opposite the Pacific Ocean in the future, Yuanjia will probably beat the world. Occasionally, someone will have some messy ideas.

Of course, Grumman, McDonald, General Dynamics and other companies were criticized by Congress, and Liang Yuan was not idle. Through Shangri-La's strong lawyer resources in North America, he invested in lobbying companies outside Washington. Liang Yuan did not mention issues related to the Republic, but just asked the lobbying companies to follow Grumman's direction.

The strength and prospects of Washington's external lobby groups are naturally needless to say in the eyes of time travelers. Although the outside lobby groups have not yet grown into the shadow White House and the degree of shadow Congress in the 1990s, more than 10,000 elites who have served as middle and senior positions in the US military, government and other departments have begun to show signs of contact and influence.

In the 1990s, Bay County was extremely successful in using American lobbying groups, such as successfully purchasing F16 fighter jets under the name of mainland China, etc. Given the great achievements made by Bay County's successful lobbying, the Republic also had the idea of ​​an American out-of-the-school lobbying group. Unfortunately, due to the unskilled business, it was caught by the American media, causing a big storm.

At that time, the little white rabbit-like republic actually had financial transactions with lobby groups through the New York branch of the Bank of China. This behavior was basically equivalent to bribing the red flags in the Republic. As a result, it was easily caught by the American media and was very angry.

After this failure, the Republic's successful use of the out-of-the-Court lobbying group in the United States was directly postponed to the next century.

In the United States, lobbying companies can be roughly divided into two categories: one is for various interest groups in the United States, and the other is for foreign governments to serve their interest groups.

The cunning Liang Yuan did not look for lobbying groups facing the foreign government at all, but directly intervened in the American infighting line.

Although it seems dangerous to enter the infighting channel between American consortiums, Liang Yuan is not a firepower MT, but only cooperates with Grumen's beating the side drum. In addition, Liang Yuan does not interfere with the competition for domestic arms share in the United States, taking this line will have many benefits for lobbying such hidden activities.

In the future, Yuanjia's business scope in North America will not be too small. In addition to lawyer resources, if he is working on a lobbying group outside the court, then Yuanjia will not have any problems in North America as long as it does not involve too sensitive industries. For example, in the future, the United States will almost refuse funds from the Gulf region, including its rival Iran. It has to be said that the skill points of the Middle East's tycoons who use money to smash people are far more skilled than the Republic.

Unlike the past history, this time with Grumman, the leader party, the US Congress has a very strong debate on the implementation of sanctions against the Republic. Grumman pulled companies such as General Electric, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nike and other companies that had export opportunities to Taiwan were connected by the Bay County Lobby Group. Companies such as McDonald and General Dynamics had the opportunity to export to Taiwan were the other party. The two sides fought back and forth for more than half a year, and Liang Yuan spent more than three million US dollars, and then the result came out. The original cooperation was not affected and continued to be implemented. Afterwards, industries must be submitted to Congress for approval whether they are sensitive or not.

Compared with the past history, the door to Sino-US exchanges was opened almost two years in advance. Otherwise, we would have to wait for the zipper to come to power before normal exchanges between China and the United States would resume.

Of course, early recovery and communication have the benefits of early recovery, and naturally there are the disadvantages of early recovery. The famous Southern Tour speech has not yet started. The imperialism in the Republic is a new colony. The slogan of the SAR is a new colony and the newspapers are shouting loudly. Liang Yuan is too lazy to even deal with this matter, so he will naturally have a headache for the top leaders.

No matter how the situation outside changes, Liang Yuan knew that when he was playing the game of seclusion, he was self-castration and voluntarily seeking death. Although he had fucked Siemens and Motorola countless times in his heart, he still had to discuss cooperation. However, Liang Yuan, who was stimulated, decided to start the spare tire plan in advance, and then Philips entered someone's vision.

Although axbx has not announced the structure of the material, the announcement of the superconducting properties of the material has never stopped. A month ago, Dongda Superconducting Center announced that it had successfully obtained a superconducting wire with a length of more than 12 meters through low-temperature cooling preparation.

Dongda Superconducting Center used this wire to create a small superconducting coil. After successfully starting the superconducting coil, it obtained a stable magnetic field with a magnetic field strength of up to 0.6t at a temperature of 20k.

As soon as this news was announced, not only did the international superconducting materials industry explode, but the negotiations were accelerated almost immediately. The US Congress, which had been in conflict for more than half a year, also went to bridge the differences at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ordinary people do not understand what these two short numbers represent, and these two numbers in the industry almost immediately set off huge waves.

Superconducting motors, superconducting magnetic levitation, and room temperature superconductors are not mentioned for now. The two data of superconducting wires prepared by Dongda University have the possibility of large-scale application in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging equipment.

The MRI was invented by the Federal Republic of Germany at the end of 1978. In 1983, five years after the invention of MRI, Siemens successfully installed the first clinical MRI device at the Hannover Medical College in Germany. This oil-cooled, field strength 0.2 Tesla magnetic resonance device requires the patient to lie down for an hour and a half during medical imaging diagnosis. Even so, the global technology community still gave this device almost endless praise.

At the end of the same year, a superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance instrument made a breakthrough in the United States.

Since the birth of the MRI in 1978 and before Liang Yuan traveled through the journey, there have been more than ten Nobel Prizes directly related to the MRI in just over 30 years.

Nuclear magnetic resonance is known as the most revolutionary invention in the contemporary medical imaging industry, and is the most powerful helper in the history of the war against humans and diseases, no doubt about it.

If aero engines are the flower of modern industry, nuclear magnetic resonance instruments are the top pearl in the medical device industry.

The core of the nuclear magnetic resonance device is the magnetic field generation device. The stronger the magnetic field, the clearer the imaging effect, and the shorter the patient's examination event.

In 1990, the internationally most advanced Siemens superconducting magnetic resonance imaging equipment was 9.2 million US dollars per set, with a superconducting magnetic field intensity of 1t and a examination time of 70 minutes per patient.

Among Siemens' product line, the 1t superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance instrument is already the top commercial product. Siemens' largest sales volume is about 8 million US dollars per set, with a magnetic field of 0.6t, and each patient has an 80-minute examination time.

If the Dongda Superconducting Center did not commit fraud, it means that this brand new superconducting material can be put into commercial applications almost immediately.

In the cost of a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument, superconducting coils can account for almost more than 70% of the total cost.

According to data released by Dongda University, the cost of magnesium diboride superconducting wires is only two-thirds of the current cost of ni series superconducting wires, which is almost seismic for the global nuclear magnetic resonance industry.

At present, a MRI imaging device starts at US$4 million. It is calculated based on a fixed eight-hour working system for overseas doctors. Each patient's examination time is 70 minutes. Except for the time when equipment is produced and analyzed and replaced, four patients can be tested by death in a day. The number of working days overseas is about 230 days per year. Even if the equipment utilization rate reaches 100%, it will be too late to check 900 patients a year. The service life of a MRI device is about ten years. During the entire life period of the equipment, about 9,000 patients can be checked.

The annual maintenance cost of nuclear magnetic resonance equipment is basically one tenth of the equipment purchase price.

It does not include the site, electricity, personnel, cooling, etc., and the depreciation of MRI equipment alone will cost $1,800 per patient. If you choose the top MRI equipment, the depreciation fee for each patient is as high as $3,600. If you add other expenses of $5,000 per MRI test, it is already a conscientious price. The MRI tests of top overseas medical institutions start in units of tens of thousands of dollars, and non-rich people can't afford them at all.

As for the Republic, X-ray is already high-tech, and B-ultrasound and CT can represent the international cutting-edge and high-end, and the MRI imaging equipment is still in a haha ​​state for the time being.

The MRI is currently the top disease diagnosis equipment in the field of human medical care. It can be said to be closely related to human lifespan. Now the Dongda Superconducting Center is expected to reduce the cost of the current high MRI imaging equipment by more than half, but has not been made public. It is precisely this that has led to a rebound in overseas public opinion, which ignores human welfare.

Of course, these are all air for Liang Yuan. Although someone is invisible and does not show up behind the scenes, the processing direction of the magnesium diboride superconducting wire is controlled by Liang Yuan behind him. All the processing technology patents are naturally in the hands of Yuan Jia.

At present, Japan's R&D level of MRI is not at its top. The only ones that can be called the top in the field of MRI imaging equipment are Ge. Siemens and Philips, Ge and Siemens are both in the state of negotiations with Tongyuanjia. Regardless of whether Siemens can negotiate the remaining bare pole Philips, they are naturally angry and have come to discuss cooperation issues long ago.

Unfortunately, Liang Yuan had no time to pay attention and kept letting Philips pigeons. Philips had been unable to find the temple gate with his pig head for more than half a month. He could only watch the GE negotiations were about to complete, and he was about to go to the sky in the field of magnetic resonance imaging equipment.

Now Liang Yuan and Liu Wenyue are naturally pointing out the topic of Philips. Liu Wenyue cannot know that the most awesome manufacturer of lithography machines in the future, Dutch Asml (Ames), will be split from Philips R&D department a few years later.
