Chapter 134: Only Great Nations

$7 billion.

This important thing needs to be said three times!

In 1984, China's foreign exchange reserves amounted to more than $2 billion, which means that all Chinese people worked hard for a year, and they only saved such a small amount of money.

In the reform and opening up, the Chinese's ** foreign exchange is endless.

A color TV production line saved Changhong, a refrigerator production line saved Haier, and a car smuggling channel saved the whole of Hainan.

It is conceivable how much China attaches importance to foreign exchange at this time, and how much it needs massive foreign exchange to develop the domestic economy.

At the same time, the squadron's defense spending began to decline significantly.

At the same time as the national economy is developing greatly, not only is there a large amount of disarmament, but there is only an annual military expenditure of more than 20 billion yuan.

If you compare the purchasing power of the actual Chinese and American currencies, this business is at least twice China's defense spending.

But of course, throughout the Iran-Iraq war, China must have sold more than $7 billion in weapons and equipment to the warring parties.

But those products are at most to make a hard money, 5969 tanks, 56 semi-automatic, silkworm missiles and other weapons have made a lot of money, but they have also made the reputation of Chinese first-class industrial products in the international stinky street.

The dollars exchanged deducted the cost, in fact, did not transfer much excess profit.

However, in the case of this $7 billion order, $5 billion of which can be a net profit, and the cost of $2 billion may still be absorbed internally in renminbi -- just a matter of starting the money printing press.

If this dollar is taken to the domestic market, it may be several times the profit.

What's more, if Iraq uses it well, will the local tyrants in the Middle East not be impressed?

Israel has it, don't you come to a set of oil tyrants?

Do Syrian doctors want to come to a set in the future?

What about turkeys?

Oh, people are members of NATO, enjoying the services of the United States.

But it doesn't matter, NATO has it, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, do you want to have a vote for the Warsaw Pact?

Especially the Yugoslav Federation, get a 20% discount!

This one comes and goes.

It's not a problem to eat this business for ten years.

By the late nineties, life in the army was naturally much better.

And Mr. Hu, naturally, he will be able to make a little money by car.

"Hu Wenhai, this little comrade ......"

When they walked into the venue, many generals and commanders were still shaking their heads.

Having come from the revolutionary years, they have not yet become accustomed to the principles of the international arms market, which speak in terms of interests.

There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests, and this kind of truth is the same thing as common sense in the future.

But for the older generation, who grew up in a diplomatic environment accustomed to exporting revolutions.

It's still a bit of a turn.

But it doesn't matter, the benefit is the thing that can best motivate people to learn.

It has been proven for a long time.

With a small amount of money, it is very quick to throw away such things as festivals.

This is not, although Hu Wenhai has done business at both ends, and even made the Iranians give the Iraqis a blow on the battlefield, but who made this business have 7 billion dollars with a capital letter.

Therefore, when I walked into the signing venue, no one on the Chinese side was not smiling.

For Hu Wenhai's feelings, many people can't cry or laugh, and most of them are actually secretly refreshed in their hearts.

The Iraqis finally sat down at the signing table, and Ahmed today wore a traditional Iraqi attire.

With a faint smile on his face, he greeted everyone on the Chinese side warmly.

On such a day, of course, Hu Wenhai can't make it up.

Today's protagonist is a new boss who parachuted into Baoli Company from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and was suddenly promoted to a ministerial-level treatment before the airborne, that is to say, this previously unknown "small"

The company, all of a sudden, became a ministerial-level central enterprise.

However, the new boss of Baoli Company is only the protagonist of today, but not necessarily the focus of attention of the audience.

Despite this signing, even the leaders at the vice-national level have come forward.

But everyone's eyes still naturally and unnaturally glanced at Hu Wenhai who was sitting in the corner.

Is it such a young man who is not yet twenty years old who facilitates such a deal?

I heard that he also contributed to the introduction of the American fighter F-14 before, which solved the problem of air defense in the north...... He personally holds a drug patent and can get a billion dollars in patent fees every year.

Also, I heard that the most showy cruise missile in this exercise was developed by him, and it is really hard to believe!

A variety of voices were heard in the venue.

Anyway, the deal is finally done!

Hu Wenhai also has a sense of relief at the end of the Long March.

In any case, in the remaining five years of the 80s, you can make money and farm with peace of mind, and wait for the opportunity to develop in the 90s.

"Yo, Director Lin, you're here too!"

Hu Wenhai greeted with some surprise.

Lin Qianjun, who appeared in a suit.

After the $7 billion project is completed, he will also be transferred to the F-14 localization project team.

Some people think that it is too difficult to localize the F-14, some people think that it is better to buy it, and some people think that the F-14 is just an immature second-generation + third-generation aircraft equipped in the seventies, with ...... performance Phew, the last type of person has already been slapped to death by a general of some Russian origin, and you dare to say that there is a problem with the performance of the F-14, which just gave the Air Force the limelight?

Now that 7 billion US dollars is in hand, the country and the army have the confidence to localize, and there is no hesitation in the formation of the F-14 localization project team.

At this time, the entire national team has entered the final selection process, and the first thing is to understand the entire system of the F-14.

Well, now the domestic "system"

These two words suddenly became popular.

I want to get something in the project report of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and I don't add a "system"

In both words, I am embarrassed to say hello.

Lin Qianjun sat next to Hu Wenhai with a smile, opened the buttons of his suit, and said with a smile: "I also have a name in Baoli as the deputy director of the general manager's office, and I came with President × today." ”

"What about the F-14 project team?"

"My main job is still over there, and Baoli is only on a temporary basis to facilitate coordination between the two sides. ”

Lin Qianjun explained, and then said: "However, the F-14 localization project, no matter what, I still have to support Mr. Hu." ”

"No problem. ”

Hu Wenhai nodded generously and asked: "I don't know what arrangements the F-14 engine replacement country has? Is the F-14's engine ready to continue to use the TF30, or is it trying to find a way to change the engine?"

"Oh, what does Mr. Hu think?"

The engine is the core of a fighter jet, and the amount of money required to develop an engine is astronomical, so Lin Qianjun can't help but be cautious.

"Well, I actually have some ideas. ”

Hu Wenhai said cautiously: "In the early eighties, the F-14 had a plan to change its hair. One of the ideas was to use the TF41, which was improved by Spey of the British company RR. I heard that we have introduced Spey's R&D work in China, but it has stopped in recent years. If the state has doubts about investing in domestic R&D, can you let me take over?"

It was also taking the opportunity to finalize this 7 billion order that Hu Wenhai dared to say such things.

Even if Spey is disliked again, it is still meat in the national pot, and it is impossible to throw it to an individual regardless of whether it is rotten or not.

But it would be a shame to miss Spey's opportunity in the 80s, and Hu Wenhai couldn't help but want to try it.

If we can get Spey done by the 90s and get the production license of RR, it will at least make the heart disease problem of Chinese engines better by half.

What's more, RR is now riddled with debt, and the world is crazy to find a market, so there must be anything that has no lower limit.

Coupled with the large co-spy Grumman, if Mr. Hu can insert a foot in the R21 gas turbine project, tsk, the profits in it are really exciting.

Moreover, after the Sino-US relations cooled down in the 90s, the British have always liked to sell their teammates.

Maybe in the first year of the first day thirty years later, it will not be Zhongtang and Lafayette who say that foreigners are going to build railways for us, but to become foreigners and build aircraft carriers for us.

In any case, Spey is a very important period of opportunity for China.

Hu Wenhai will definitely not be willing if he doesn't give it a try.

"Well, I can help you ask, listen to me. ”

Lin Qianjun couldn't do this kind of big thing, so he had to nod and agree to transfer Hu Wenhai's request to the top.

The TF30 engine of the F-14 is notoriously pitfalling, and the performance is not good, not to mention the troublesome maintenance.

If it's just a ground crew complaining, forget it, the key is that this engine master accidentally plays air parking.

The early F-14 did not dare to do big moves at all, and the pilots who fell into the sea and died in the TOPGUN were the planes that made big maneuvers and fell.

Therefore, it is of course best that TF30 can be replaced, Lin Qianjun has a little say in the localization project team, and it is not small that he can succeed when he speaks.

Hu Wenhai nodded silently and didn't say anything more.

The whole signing ceremony went smoothly, and Ahmad and Baoli's CEOs each signed their names on the agreement, announcing the fall of the hammer on the big order of the century in a flash of light.

Then, naturally, it is the carnival of the middle ** labor system.

It's just that Ahmed's face was too much of a smile, but his eyes searched around the venue and found Hu Wenhai, who was already preparing to leave.

"Mr. Hu, please wait!"

Ahmad strode after Hu Wenhai, who had already walked to the door, stroked his chest and saluted: "President Saddam Hussein asked me to extend my greetings to you, and I hope that we will be happy and smooth in the next cooperation." ”

"I hope so, too. ”

Hu Wenhai returned the salute and nodded with a smile.

Ahmad suddenly stepped forward and asked Hu Wenhai sternly: "President Saddam asked me to ask Mr. Hu, the designer of this system, a question. ”

Hu Wenhai was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Mr. Ahmed, excuse me." ”

"If Iraq wants to do it on its own, what exactly does it need?"

Hu Wenhai thought for a moment, and said with the same straight face: "You need a land of 9.6 million square kilometers, a unified party, a strong national economy, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and seven ministries of machinery industry, only a great country can build it!"
