1152 Directors, surrender your rights (4/5)
The situation of 404 is a little out of control.
When Xie Kai returned to the base, Zheng Yucheng's meeting with them was still not over.
For Xie Kai to take the initiative, Zheng Yucheng and they were all overjoyed, maybe this kid is willing to propose a solution?
"In the afternoon, I went to see our domestic tanks, which are very ......advanced," Xie Kai ignored Zheng Yucheng's happiness and said to himself.
359 tanks, this is the pride of the whole 404.
The more advanced it is, the stronger the technical strength of the 404, right?
Zheng Yucheng said with a smile, "Didn't you say that the more advanced the technology, the better, and you can't lower the performance standard just because you don't have money." ”
He didn't notice that Xie Kai's expression was wrong.
"Xie Kai, if there is anything, just bring it up, everyone is here, and now we are all aware of these problems. Wang Guilin obviously saw that Xie Kai's expression was wrong.
I don't know what is wrong with the tank project again.
"Mr. Zhang's team, on the basis of the 359 tanks we exported, has improved a lot of technology. Whether it is the armor defense performance, or the offensive firepower of the tank gun, or even the informatization of the entire tank, it is beyond imagination...... "For these, Xie Kai really admires Zhang Deming's team.
I didn't expect it to be able to reach such an extent.
If the powertrain can keep up, the performance is likely to be much better than that of the M1 tank.
"This is not what we have been pursuing? Now no one will say that we can only develop low-end weapons and equipment, right?" Zheng Yucheng said with a sigh.
"Director Zheng, do you know how much one costs?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.
Zheng Yucheng obviously didn't know.
The people in it, apparently, no one knows the cost.
"Minister Yang, you are in charge of the base's money bag, do you know?" Xie Kai asked Yang Qian.
Inside the room, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Xie Kai, this kid, has been a little angry these days.
"At the beginning, Mr. Zhang told me that the cost of one car was six million. Xie Kai even had a smile on his face.
"It's not high. Although the army only gave 5 million vehicles, after mass manufacturing, the cost was reduced. Moreover, some technologies are not only used in tanks, but are we considering the transformation of military technology into civilian products? Many technologies of tanks can be used in civilian vehicles. Bai Yanjun also felt that Xie Kai was making a big fuss.
6 million tanks is not unacceptable.
After mass production, the cost will be reduced, and the army will give 5 million vehicles, and it will definitely not lose money, and even if it loses, it will not be too much.
"It's not that high, but what if it costs $6 million?" Xie Kai smiled even more.
The smile on Zheng Yucheng's face froze.
The others even gasped.
$6 million a tank!
Or the cost price.
"I'm not talking about how much a tank costs. The performance is advanced, and the cost is naturally high. What I want to ask you is how the scientific research funds in the base are supervised, and how can Mr. Zhang increase the cost of this tank to such an extent!" Xie Kai saw that everyone was not aware of the problem, and a sense of powerlessness came to him.
He really couldn't do anything about the current state of the base.
There is no regulation of research funding, and there is not even a clear regulation governing it.
The management of the entire base is a mess, and there is not even a clear strategic plan for the future.
It is also the current base with high profits and a lot of funds, otherwise, it would have been finished long ago.
The old guys in front of him didn't feel anything.
Yang Qian, who is in charge of finance, doesn't know how much R&D funds the 359 tank R&D team has consumed......
Zheng Yucheng is in charge of the ground equipment project of the base, and he is also unaware of all the R&D projects of the entire base.
What exactly is the annual budget?
This is not a problem of 404, domestic enterprises generally have such problems: lack of effective supervision of scientific research funding, unclear organizational framework, and vague functions of various departments......
Xie Jianguo looked at his son, wanting to remind him to pay attention to his words, here are the highest authorities in the entire base. can think of what Xie Kai said to himself before, pointing out the problem of the base, and he doesn't know how to solve such a problem.
"The 359 tank project is still in the base, and this is the case, and who can understand what the use of funds is like for the fighter and warship projects outside?" Xie Kai was completely questioning everyone, "Everyone knows better than anyone else how these funds came from! We sold the top equipment in the country in exchange for it? Can our army afford to use a tank of $6 million? I calculated that just a tank battalion of the special operations brigade will cost 860 million! Mass production, the cost is lower, how can it get more than 700 million ......"
This seems to contradict Xie Kai's previous proposal that no compromise on performance should be made because of financial problems.
In fact, Xie Kai proposed this to make everyone aware of the huge crisis of the base now.
Zheng Yucheng didn't understand for a while, but Wang Guilin and Yang Qian understood.
"This is due to management problems at the base. There are no specific rules for the management of scientific research projects or the management of funds. Wang Guilin took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Everyone, we must pay attention to this issue. ”
"Xie Kai, tell me your solution. Yang Qian said softly.
Her power, as the Minister of Finance, is not as great as imagined.
There are approvals from Zheng Yucheng, Bai Yanjun and others, as long as the total budget is not exceeded, she has to give money.
Even if the total budget is exceeded, the special budget is not spent, and money has to be given.
The management mode of the base made Yang Qian feel very uncomfortable.
"Thorough reform!" Xie Kai said without hesitation, "This is not an easy task, if you really want to do it, first of all, your rights must be restricted! And in this process, you must apply to the General Follow-up and the General Staff to set up a joint supervision group!"
Xie Kai's words made Zheng Yucheng and the others' faces turn pale.
This little bastard has been planning for so many days, and his feelings are just to limit their rights.
They have never figured out what Xie Kai's purpose is in the past few days, and he proposed to apply for national scientific research funds, and he wanted to set up a civilian products division, and even proposed the management problem of the existence of the base, but he no longer directly proposed a solution as before.
Ultimately, that's what it is.
It is not only Zheng Yucheng's rights that are restricted, but also the rights of everyone on the management committee.
"Xie Kai, you have to think clearly, once the General Staff and the General Post intervene, everything in the future will not be as convenient as it is now. Wang Guilin said solemnly.
No wonder Xie Kai didn't mention a solution.
"Yes, Xie Kai, once the above supervision, it will not be easy for us to set up projects at will. Qi Zhiyuan also said worriedly.
The Technical Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters, the General Logistics Equipment Department, and even the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense intervened, and the most affected was naval equipment.
Originally, it was planned to follow the Thai military's aircraft carrier order to transfer the domestic aircraft carrier project from the pre-research stage to the formal development project, which is absolutely impossible.
"At the beginning, the 359 tank was hung in my name, and you proposed reforms, and I had no opinion. Of course, if you are not willing to give up your rights, then feel free. Xie Kai knew that it was not easy to get Zheng Yucheng and them to give up the rights in their hands.
No solution has been proposed.
However, after learning about the cost of domestic tanks from Zhang Deming, he realized that the management of the entire base was chaotic to an unimaginable extent.
He couldn't help but reform step by step.
Wait until my father takes the throne, and then carry out a large deepening reform.
The current situation simply cannot make 404 sustain until that time.
Didn't Zhang Deming know that a 359 tank ordered by the troops could only give 5 million?
Know.
And know that that's the limit.
However, in terms of the technical configuration and design of the tank, the maximum extent that the base can be achieved is still adopted.
A tank with such performance, if the base is to establish its own project for research, the cost of 10 million US dollars is not a problem. The problem is that this is ordered by the troops, the technical requirements are clearly defined, and the funding is clearly limited.
Knowing all this, it still continues, even the finished product has come out.
This shows that the base has no role in the supervision of scientific research projects, and the flow of scientific research funds has not been grasped.
The reason for these is that these old guys of the base management committee signed indiscriminately.
Another problem is that the management is too weak.
"Are you dissatisfied because the 359 workshop was zoned out at the beginning?" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai with anger.
Xie Kai sneered, "Director Zheng, do you think I have such an idea?" The 359 workshop has had such a situation from the beginning, and the funds are approved as long as they are applied, and there is no supervision. It is not denied that the original model made the 359 tank successful and laid the current foundation for our base. When my father asked the question, I thought the base had found a problem......"
When Xie Jianguo first took office, he rectified the 359 workshop.
Xie Jianguo's first fire burned on his son, and he talked to Xie Kai alone.
Xie Kai always thought that the base was aware of the problem, and agreed without any hesitation, after all, he just hung a title and made political achievements.
Who would have thought that in the end, the base would expand such a model to all R&D projects.
"Can't we use other methods?" Wang Guilin asked, "We don't love power. As long as it is good for the development of the base, let us retire immediately, there is no problem. ”
"That's right!" Zheng Yucheng also supported Wang Guilin's statement, "Once the superior supervises, all kinds of things need to be applied, and it takes too long and is too troublesome." ”
"Higher-level supervision will not have an impact on the management of the base. It's just that they supervise the operation of our project and the flow of funds!" Xie Kai also had no choice.
No unit wants to be regulated.
However, the current 404 can only solve these problems if it is introduced by superior supervision.
Zheng Yucheng can no longer be asked to sign casually, write a note and approve funding for various research projects.
