Zhong Yi focused on it and said: "If there is more money, a thousand aircraft would be better!"

"Oh my God, Zi Ren, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhang Mouzhi was so scared that he kept slashing a cross on his chest, and almost couldn't help but touch Zhong Yi's forehead to see if his son-in-law was confused.

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "But I also know very well that a thousand aircraft is impossible."

"You still know that it is impossible." Zhang Mouzhi said speechlessly, "The National Government has mobilized the whole country to buy less than a thousand aircraft of various types from abroad. If you are alone, how can you compare with the same country?"

"That's different." Zhong Yi said decisively, "The National Government has used the whole country to buy aircraft. It would be nice to have one-third of the funds used in practice. But if I buy a plane, it would definitely be a big man who broke it in half and would never waste a single point! So the number of planes that can be bought will be much more than them."

Zhang Mouzhi said urgently: "Do you know how much a plane costs?"

"Of course I know." Zhong Yi said, "The current official purchase price of a P-40 fighter is about $55,000."

Zhang Mouzhi said angrily: "One aircraft is 55,000 US dollars, one thousand aircraft is 55 million US dollars. Even if you sell it for $10 million, it is still 45 million US dollars away."

After clapping his hands, Zhang Mouzhi said anxiously: "Zi Ren, there is a saying that I must tell you clearly that the country is a country and a family is a family. These two cannot be confused. We cannot put everything in for the sake of the country. Our two father-in-law and son-in-law belong to our father-in-law and son-in-law, but let me donate all the property to buy the plane, it won't work!"

After saying that, he seemed worried that Zhong Yi would be angry and said, "I will donate at most you have ten fighter jets."

"The deal!" Zhong Yi laughed and said, "Dad, I didn't ask you to donate all your property. If you can donate my cross fighter jets, I'm satisfied."

"Uh..." Zhang Mouzhi was speechless.

But I couldn't help but be curious, Zhang Mouzhi said: "Zi Ren, where are you going to raise money?"

"Dad, don't worry about this, in short, I can think of a solution." Zhong Yi said again, "Now talk about your problem."

Zhang Mouzhi felt a trembling heart when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "Zi Ren, don't scare me, what can I have?"

"Dad, it's a worry for you." Zhong Yi smiled, "I'm talking about investment. Didn't I just talk about investing in American industry? I suggest you invest directly in Curtis Wright, and you don't need to hold a controlling stake, but at least you have to be a second shareholder and have enough influence on the board of directors."

"Invest in Curtis Wright?" Zhang Mouzhi said, "How much does it cost?"

Zhong Yi said: "Curtis Wright is just trying to support it. Although it will not go bankrupt and liquidate, the American industry is generally in a downturn today. Curtis Wright is not much better, so it won't cost much money to invest. If my estimate is not wrong, two or three million US dollars is enough to buy more than 40% of the shares."

Curtis Wright's current scale is indeed not large. The real development of this company was after the United States joined the war. With the arrival of military orders, the entire aircraft company expanded rapidly like a balloon. In just less than four years, it actually produced more than 30,000 aircraft of various types!

Zhang Mouzhi said in surprise: "Can you buy more than 40% of the shares with just two or three million US dollars?"

"It should be no problem," Zhong Yi said, "but you should move quickly. I heard the wind. The US military will soon give an order for a batch of fighter jets, with a quantity of up to 500, and this order is likely to fall on Curtis Wright. So Dad, you have to speed up, otherwise the price you have to pay will increase exponentially when the order is implemented."

"Okay, OK." Zhang Mouzhi was moved and said repeatedly, "I will go to contact you tomorrow."

Zhong Yi continued: "On the day of the formal negotiation, remember to call me and I will keep you in the right way."

"That's certain." Zhang Mouzhi said without hesitation, "For such a big decision, you must be asked for your opinion."

While the two were talking, Old Kangmaud suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. Zhang Mouzhi knew that the two had copyrights to discuss, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Old Conmod sat down and smiled and said to Zhong Yi: "Zhong, I heard from Senator McConaughey that the meeting of book fans today is very satisfactory. How much has the money raised?"

"It's only one million." Zhong Yi shook his head and said.

Old Conmaud laughed and said, "It's only one million? Zhong, do you know what a huge number one million is? How many people can't make 100,000 in their lifetime!"

"But for me, it's still a drop in the bucket." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Mr. Commod, did you give me money? Did the royalties for Harry Potter Volume 4 come out?"

"Oh, my God, are there only money in your eyes?" Old Commod shrugged and smiled, "Isn't it good for us to only talk about literature? Really, I really want to discuss literature with you, but you are not interested."

"No, no, no, I'm not uninterested." Zhong Yi shook his head and sighed, "I'm not in the mood."

"Okay, okay, you're not in the mood." Old Commod said, "The first royalty in Harry Potter Book 4 is indeed at the settlement date, which is the first two million dollars."

After saying that, Old Kangmaud handed over a check.

Zhong Yi took the check and then continued: "Mr. Commode, can you pay the royalties in one go?"

"You really have no money," exclaimed the old Commod, "In order to buy the copyright of the first two volumes of the Song of Ice and Fire, I not only exhausted all the savings of the publisher and Commod family, but even carried astronomical debts for it. God, I think I must be crazy, I would do such a thing."

Speaking of this, Old Commod said again: "To be honest, I want to deduct the 2 million US dollars of royalties first and not give them to you, but then I think about it and think that your country is fighting and you are the commander-in-chief of the army. It's not easy, so I can only give you the royalties."

"Come on, come on." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Mr. Commod, don't act like a bitter look. I know that you are secretly happy. The copyrights of the first two volumes of the Song of Ice and Fire can bring you the benefits of the Commod family far more than 10 million US dollars, so you actually made a lot of money in this transaction."

"God only knows whether to make or lose." Old Commod shrugged and said, "I just heard you plan to invest in Curtis Wright? This is not a good idea. Now there is no future in business."

Zhong Yi did not explain to Old Commoddo, shook his head and said, "I asked my father-in-law to invest in Curtis, just to be able to purchase the P-40 Tomahawk fighter at a cost price!"
