"Minister Shen, you won't promise anyone, will you?" Zheng Yucheng spoke.

"I'm going to agree, why do you ask you?" Shen Hong said with a smile, "My idea is also to put it over there, but in this way, we have to rebuild the supporting facilities, and we need a lot of funds." ”

"It's okay at all, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will pay part of the cost, and Qin Fei will also have a joint venture with us. Before Xie Kai could speak, Zheng Yucheng replied.

FeelingsZheng Yucheng did a lot of work before planning this matter.

Xie Kai didn't understand how Zheng Yucheng did so much work in such a short period of time, national project approval, approval and inspection, etc., the time required was not something that could be done in a few days.

"They invest in infrastructure?" Shen asked.

Zheng Yucheng nodded, "Let's take the lead." Everyone knows the importance of such a project, especially the stimulating effect on the surrounding related technical fields. The state didn't have the money to do it before, and that was when the funds were used in more critical places. Now that we're taking the lead, you're always helping to take the lead, can't you not do it at all?"

Xie Kai heard the meaning of Zheng Yucheng's words.

There is a lot of support for this project.

"Alright, let's do it. As long as there are no problems with the design, it should be ready to be produced within two years. You have to urge them to speed up the progress, otherwise they will have to continue to wait when the equipment comes out. Shen Hong said.

The supporting of the large press requires a lot.

Xie Kai's original meaning was that this supporting equipment was also funded by 404, although the pressure was high, it was not impossible to get enough funds.

Now the conversation between Zheng Yucheng and Shen Hong told him that they don't need to bear everything, and the higher departments are silently supporting them.

That way, they have more money to work on other projects.

"People from other units, will they come soon?" Xie Kai was a little worried. "After all, many units are still in the New Year holiday. ”

"Rest assured, within two days at most, all the people will be there, and even the units that have not been notified will come as long as they know the news. Shen Hong smiled and asked Xie Kai to put his heart back in his stomach.

Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai's worried expression, "Our project is fat." The appropriation from the higher level is not as fast as our money. Coupled with the 65,000-ton press, it is the first time in China, and the national battle for technical research has not appeared for at least ten years. ”

Xie Kai really doesn't know much about what Zheng Yucheng said.

I had never experienced this kind of thing, and I had always heard that the efficiency of state-owned enterprises was too low, so I didn't think that everyone was active.

"Duo is going to be disappointed this time, so I won't be drinking with them tonight. Zheng Yucheng said with a sigh.

"You really have to change your fault, drink a little wine and make promises. Shen Hong also agreed with Zheng Yucheng's words.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zheng Yucheng asked Erzhong to borrow a car, the reason is that Xie Kai grew up in the northwest, and it is rare to see green in the northwest, let alone the national treasure giant panda.

It's rare to come once and take Xie Kai to see the national treasure.

The duo actually believed his reason and offered to arrange a driver, but Zheng Yu successfully refused.

"You won't really take me to see the giant pandas, will you?" Xie Kai didn't believe that Zheng Yucheng would be so boring.

The old guy must be holding back in his stomach.

"Go to Factory 132, the giant panda is like that, what's so good-looking, if it weren't for the fact that our base can't provide bamboo for the national treasure, we have to air transport bamboo from here, I have to get a pair to raise in our base zoo." Zheng Yucheng shook his head and said, "The Iraqis are here, we will go to Rongcheng tonight, and we will go to rob their wallets." ”

"So fast?" Xie Kai always felt that Zheng Yucheng was fooling him.

The Iraqis came to Plant 132, and it had nothing to do with their missile cooperation.

What's more, Zheng Yucheng spends most of his time with him, where did the news come from?

"You don't care where the news comes from, the important thing is that the Iraqis invited us to talk. After talking about the order, we had to talk about the air-to-air missile project, and it turned out that they were unwilling to give us money to do it, and this time it was said that they were ready to place an order and pay a part of the advance payment. Zheng Yucheng said proudly. "Otherwise, I dare to pat my chest in front of Minister Shen to ensure that the funds can be in place at any time?"

Xie Kai has always been curious about where Zheng Yucheng got such confidence, and the emotional problem lies here.

404 definitely has a very reliable source of intelligence.

Is it military?

Or 404 of their own?

With such a large cooperation project, it is impossible for the military not to ask.

"People from the military are also coming?" Xie Kai asked.

"How can you not come! They have to nod their heads to do this, and they come to collect protection money. As soon as Zheng Yucheng talked about this, he was a little dissatisfied. "10% of the total amount of the contract is at the disposal of the military. ”

"That's it?" Xie Kai didn't expect at all that the military would only take 10%.

This is already beyond his imagination.

If what they overheard was the truth, the Iraqis really ordered 2,000 avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles from them, and the order would have to be at least $160 million, which the military would have given too little.

"It's still less, they just help a little, say something or something, and take 10% if they don't do anything!" Zheng Yucheng didn't even want to give 1% to the military.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng with disdain, this old guy was more greedy than him.

"In fact, they are mainly for foreign exchange, and the country's foreign exchange focus is tilted towards the introduction of technical equipment related to economic construction. Military scientific research units cannot do a lot of equipment on their own, so they can only get it back from abroad. If you don't have foreign exchange in your hand, you can only ask the Ministry of Finance, and the people in the Ministry of Finance will die of slamming the door, plus they don't understand anything, no matter how important your equipment is. Zheng Yucheng sighed.

In the whole world, it is estimated that there is no country whose military is as poor as the Chinese military.

More than 4 million troops, a huge amount of weapons and equipment, and even a scientific research system need to be supported by military spending of less than $10 billion a year.

"Lao Zheng, why don't we give them an extra part of the profits from foreign trade orders?" Xie Kai took the initiative to pay an extra part of the fee to his superiors for the first time, "After all, we can't succeed in these things without the support of our superiors." ”

In the matter of the big press, the high-level support is not small, and these supports are not visible to ordinary people.

Although some technical cooperation is pitted, it is not useless, and domestic military scientific research personnel need to understand the technology and scientific and technological system of the world's advanced military equipment.

Their appearance has accelerated the development of some projects, while also limiting the income of other units in this area.

"Iron rooster plucking?" Zheng Yucheng turned his head to look at Xie Kai with a strange face.

"Look at the road, you are driving!" Xie Kai was taken aback by him, "We are also a subordinate unit of logistics, although there is no clear competent department." ”

Which department head 404 belongs to, Xie Kai didn't figure it out.

It is said that it is under the control of the Ministry of Logistics, and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is also interfering.

Speaking of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Li Mingshan and others completely let the 404 base do it themselves, and they don't even ask about how the base's money is spent, and if they want policy support, they have to communicate with them.

"Logistics, I still don't know who we're in charge of. Zheng Yucheng's words made Xie Kai feel incredible.

In China, is there a unit with a competent unit?

"Don't ask about this matter, just know that there is something to find the relevant departments. ”

Relevant departments!

China's most mysterious department.

Xie Kai wanted to complain about it.

"In other words, if there is a matter, we don't know which leader to solve it? Big Brother Long and Big Brother Li, they don't care about our base?" Xie Kai felt that he had to sort this matter out.

Base 404 was previously under the jurisdiction of all industrial departments and military-related units, but now it is completely ignored by all units.

It's unbelievable.

"If we have to say that there is a competent authority, it is the military and the government. After all, we belong to the country. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile, "Don't you think that such a situation is more in line with the development of our base? As long as we have money, we can do whatever we want, and we don't have to worry about interference from our superiors." ”

The statement is correct.

But Xie Kai always felt that there was something he couldn't understand.

If a base like 404 really doesn't interfere with the superiors, won't it become a wild horse that has escaped?

Or a whole supertrust?

Thinking of this question, Xie Kai couldn't help but smile, for a collective country like China, the state is the largest trust, and it is normal to have a small trust inside.

"The military only takes a small part, and it is also because of this. There are some projects that they want to do, but the Ministry of Finance doesn't give them money, and they can't do it, right? If they don't take some money from us, other units won't be willing ......to give it," Zheng Yucheng may know that Xie Kai doesn't understand this matter.

The more funds the military takes, the greater the impact on the development of the 404 base.

And there are too many subordinate units of the military, everyone is reaching out to ask for it, to whom?

It is better to have 404 at its disposal, all the investments are in the field of the military industry, so that it does not contradict state policy.

There is no reason for the government to look for the military, this is the subordinate units of the military themselves, and the right to operate independently has been delegated to the 404, and it cannot be found.

"So, we belong to the head of the relevant department, and this is deliberately made up by the superiors?" Xie Kai now fully understood the situation in which the 404 base was located.

It is not under the management of any unit, and at the same time it belongs to the management of any unit.

If you want policies and support, they will be under the control of that unit; if other departments want to interfere, they will not be in charge, and naturally some units will come to them for trouble.

"Nonsense, the higher-level leaders would do such a thing? When all the scientific research units in our base were withdrawn, we were abandoned, right? The military couldn't support us at the beginning, so we were left to be self-reliant...... As a result, the current situation has emerged. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

Xie Kai also smiled.

Some things always need a high-sounding reason.

"Don't be idle, think about how you can get more money out of the Iraqis, we're short on money right now. ”
