Chapter 245: Stupid Bureaucrats

No one knows about the water lithium battery technology, which is a pit that Hu Wenhai has laid for Motorola. And, of course, there was the uninvited DuPont, which was a real bonus.

But at least he knows in his heart that it won't take too long for the water lithium battery to be replaced by a real lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery.

Therefore, in terms of industrial layout, it is manifested that Hu Wenhai is very unconcerned about the sales of domestic water lithium batteries.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this is clearly Hu Wenhai's greed for export profits, and before the production capacity of lithium battery water does not come up, he gives priority to ensuring the share of exports to the United States, while ignoring the domestic market.

It's not right or wrong, but it's an opportunity. It's not that there is no market for lithium water batteries in China, and if you can't eat American meat, you can at least drink Chinese soup, right?

Since Hu Wenhai has a request for 601, wouldn't this be an excellent opportunity.

"This ......" Hu Wenhai opened his mouth, it was really difficult to continue. I used to boast that I could ask for anything, but now how can I say that I want to break my word and get fat?

"I remember that 601 is a research unit, even if it asks for the agency of water lithium battery, can it do a good job in this market? ”

"Comrade Xiaohu, you misunderstood!"

Deputy Director Chen laughed and said: "Of course, this agency is not operated by our 601 Institute, but will be promoted by the Ministry of Aviation Industry." So you can rest assured that you can sit at home and count the money as long as you hand over the product to the franchise!"

"Uh, the Aviation Department?"

Hu Wenhai hasn't forgotten it yet. I had a holiday with the Ministry of Aviation Engineering. Don't say anything else. The matter of the division of aviation technology into two. Will the Ministry of Aviation Industry consider it from his point of view?

The good monopoly business is yellow, I'm afraid no one will have a good impression of him. And the 601 Institute and Shen Fei, no matter what, are the sons of the Ministry of Aviation Engineering, would they be so kind to put forward this condition?

"Yes, it's the Aviation Engineering Department!"

Deputy Director Chen nodded vigorously: "The ability of the Aviation Industry Department is still trustworthy, right? We have enterprises and transportation channels in various places to ensure that we can put water lithium batteries on the shelves of the whole country!"

Deputy Director Chen is responsible for outreach and logistics on weekdays, which has somewhat practiced some communication and market level, and a few words have firmly grasped the key to the sales of water lithium batteries.

Today, China's state-run supply and marketing system has not collapsed. It is true that as long as the Ministry of Aviation Industry can master the channels and transportation, it is equivalent to opening up the domestic market.

If so, cooperation is not impossible. It's a big deal, now let's engage in water lithium battery first, and change the product after the lithium-ion polymer battery comes out.

In that case, it's not impossible. Hu Wenhai thought for a while and said: "I don't know, what is the charter for the Ministry of Aviation Industry to act as an agent for water lithium batteries......?

"Well, this Mr. Hu can rest assured, he will definitely not let you suffer. ”

Deputy Director Chen did not hesitate. Immediately threw out the plan of the Ministry of Aviation Engineering: "We probably investigated, and the cost of lithium water batteries produced by Xinke Company is about five yuan each." Considering your costs and profits. The Ministry of Aviation Engineering can eat the output of one million pieces per month at a price of eight yuan. How's that, that's a forty percent profit, it's a lot!"

Hu Wenhai blinked, swallowed his saliva, and asked tentatively: "Let me ask first, is the quotation of the Ministry of Aviation Industry in US dollars or RMB?"

Deputy Director Chen was stunned for a moment, and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's RMB, let's do business in China, is it difficult to use US dollars?"

"Then does Deputy Director Chen know what the price of our Xinke company's water lithium battery is exported to the United States?" Hu Wenhai frowned, and simply put the word "deputy" in his title.

When Deputy Director Chen heard this, his face immediately changed.

Of course he knew, how could he not know.

In fact, the Ministry of Aviation Engineering's investigation was by no means improvised. Although Mr. Hu's news is not a secret in the military industrial system, it is not possible to find out the specific cost, output and export price of Qingshui lithium battery. It can only be said that the Ministry of Aviation Engineering has been working on this idea for a long time, and it just so happens that Mr. Hu has now collided head-on.

It is only a matter of time before Hu Wenhai participates in the panda localization project and frequently contacts with the 601 and 606 institutes.

It is precisely because we know what the price of Xinke exporting water lithium battery to the United States is, so this agency business will be so eye-catching.

If you do it, it's hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

If the Ministry of Aviation Engineering had had this business in hand, the production capacity of the Zenith would have been exploded long ago, and he would have been able to earn foreign exchange comfortably.

How can it be like Xinke, who is unwilling to invest in expanding production lines and screams at the hungry American market.

Deputy Director Chen came prepared.

"Well, Comrade Xiaohu also has to consider the national situation. The products sold to our domestic countries can't be sold at the same price as the Americans, right?"

"But the price gap between you is too big. Hu Wenhai frowned: "The price of eight yuan a piece, compared with the export, the profit has dropped by more than ten times, which is too much of a loss." ”

"They are all Chinese, can't they just make money? Comrade Xiaohu, didn't I say, you still have to talk about patriotism about how to pay capitalists in China!"

"Oh, there is no problem with patriotism. Hu Wenhai nodded and said immediately.

"Then my new section requires that the price of the terminal should not exceed ten yuan, and all output must be sold in China and must not flow abroad. Otherwise, the company may not perform the contract. ”

"This—"

Deputy Director Chen looked like he had a toothache and inhaled cool air.

Hu Wenhai's plan was very easy to guess in Hu Wenhai's heart, and he choked them by seven inches. A small part of the production capacity provided by ST will be supplied to China at a high price, and the other large part can be quietly exported to the United States by virtue of the relationship between the Ministry of Aviation Industry. Even if the price is lower than that of ST's products, it is quite an attractive windfall.

It's just that I didn't expect Hu Wenhai to block this road in one bite.

"This is not possible, the final pricing is the power of the supply and marketing system everywhere. The Ministry of Aviation Engineering can't influence them. Deputy Director Chen turned his head slightly. I came up with an excuse: "As for saying that it is all sold domestically." The Ministry of Aviation Engineering can only ensure that the sales object is the domestic supply and marketing unit, and there is no way to affect the follow-up logistics trend. ”

Deputy Director Chen consciously replied politely and politely, and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Look, what kind of person is Hu Wenhai? Who doesn't know that he is a business genius, and his level is not known to be high. I, Lao Chen, can talk and laugh with him!

"This won't work. Hu Wenhai shattered Deputy Director Chen's reverie with one sentence, and said mercilessly: "If it is at this price, Xinke cannot guarantee the supply of one million units per month." Taking into account the needs of the country. It can supply 100,000 pieces per month at this price, and does not require the Ministry of Aviation Engineering to guarantee the range of terminal sales price. ”

"100,000 is too little. Deputy Director Chen shook his head: "Comrade Xiaohu thinks clearly, this is a cooperation with the Ministry of Aviation Industry, can you get 100,000 pieces?"

Hu Wenhai spread his hands: "There is no way for Xinke Company, any more will affect exports." ”

"Xinke can expand its production capacity, and there is no problem with expanding the market of lithium battery water by two or three times compared with the current production capacity. ”

"ST has its own considerations and has no plans to expand production capacity for the time being. Hu Wenhai flatly refused.

Lithium water battery is expected to be eliminated within one or two years, and part of the investment in Xinke's production line will be wasted at that time. I knew that this was the result, and now I am desperately on the production line. Isn't it hard to get along with money?

Actually, the news came from the United States. DuPont's desire to acquire a stake in Yizhuhu is strong. Hu Wenhai's request for PI technology transfer, as well as the fairly high sale price, DuPont is willing to consider.

It is reported that Motorola is also stepping up the deployment of the research and development of the third generation of water lithium battery, and on the basis of the technology given by Hu Wenhai, it is developing ion permeability membrane and the third generation of water lithium battery electrolyte formula.

The reality is likely to be that DuPont is competing with Motorola in technology research, and it is probably no secret that the battery chemistry circle in the United States is so big.

In this way, there is not much time left for Hu Wenhai to wait for the price and sell. Even at the fastest pace, by the end of 1985, the lithium battery market will be clear.

At this time, to expand the production capacity of lithium water battery, that is, to throw money into the water to play.

Deputy Director Chen doesn't think so, but he just thinks that Hu Wenhai's so-called business genius is nothing more than that, and his courage is too small.

How do you dare to invest in such a good business as water lithium battery? Oh, yes, a typical small farmer's thinking! In the end, a person from a small place, he has two skills in technology, and his vision and courage are inevitably not broad!

I have to say that there are often many such people in the world. Someone else's success is just a matter of luck, just doing the right thing at the right time, or just shit luck with a good idea.

I didn't succeed myself, I just had bad luck. However, I am more capable than them, have more knowledge than them, and have greater courage than them! As long as I continue to go in the direction they are pioneering, I will definitely be able to achieve higher achievements!

In essence, Deputy Director Chen is this kind of person. is the same as those who believe that they are the protagonists of the world, and no matter how high the risk is, they will not be unlucky to their heads, to put it bluntly - pretending to be shrewd and stupid.

In his eyes, Hu Wenhai doesn't look at the current scenery, sooner or later he will be killed by himself on the front waves on the beach. Because he dared to think and dare to do something, he never thought that something would happen, and there was a day when he was jumped off the building.

Deputy Director Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Hu Wenhai had no plans to expand production capacity.

"It's okay, come on, come on, Comrade Xiaohu. He smiled kindly and said: "It doesn't matter if the company has difficulties, as long as you sign this technical authorization letter, the factory can be built by our aviation engineering department." ”

Chapter 246: Do it yourself

"Gu, Director Gu!"

Feng Jianxing trotted and pushed open the door of Director Gu's office in 601. In normal times, he would not have acted so recklessly. But today's events are too big, and he forgot the etiquette he should have.

"It's Xiao Feng, what's wrong?what's the matter?" Director Gu raised his head, although he frowned slightly, he wasn't too angry at Feng Health's impolite behavior.

In fact, everyone in the institute knows that Director Gu is still very polite to the people below. It's only when the work doesn't go well that he really loses his temper. Otherwise, in ordinary life, he is a good-tempered old man.

"Director Gu, our director - Director Wang. Let me give you a message. Deputy Director Chen asked him to take it to Comrade Xiaohu!"

"Comrade Xiaohu, which Comrade Xiaohu?" Director Gu was slightly stunned. Then he woke up and said: "It's Hu Wenhai from Xiucheng, right?"

"Yes!"

Feng Jianxing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded and said, "Our director was taken away by him, and secretly asked me to come over and tell you the news." ”

"yes, I see. Director Gu thought and waved his hand.

Feng Jianxing brought the words to him, and there was nothing else. Seeing Director Gu like this, he hurriedly retreated.

Director Gu is not Deputy Director Chen, but Director Gu.

The words are a bit winding though. But the meaning is very clear, Director Gu is the full-time director of the 601 Institute. In a scientific research institute like 601, the authority of the director is greater than that of the director of a state-owned enterprise.

Deputy Director Chen, a deputy director in charge of outreach and logistics, has a huge gap with Director Gu in terms of power, prestige, and relationships.

Even compared with other deputy directors in charge of one party's business, Deputy Director Chen's level in the 601 Institute is relatively low.

However, even so, Director Gu did not act impulsively.

He thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed the phone on the table, and dialed a number without hurrying.

……

Speaking of which, the life of the 601 Institute is actually not easy. Although the so-called chief fighter commander set up a breakfast stall, it is a joke. But it also shows the tight situation of the domestic aviation and military industry in these years.

It was a good thing that the design of the J-8 was finalized, but after the plane entered service, there were many problems. Crashing planes and clearing obstacles became commonplace. In this way, the Air Force has some opinions about Sheng Fei.

These opinions fell on Sheng Fei's head, and some people blamed Songling Machinery Factory, of course, there were also things to say in the factory, and many spearheads turned to the 601 side.

Is there a problem with the beautiful man in the air? There is no doubt that there is, and no one dares to say that it can produce a fighter plane that has no problems.

In this way, the relationship between the factory and the Songling Machinery Factory and the Air Force is a bit delicate, to be honest.

This "subtle" reflects the reality, that is, the days of 601 are gradually not getting better.

The arrival of Hu Wenhai gave Director Gu a glimmer of hope. Who doesn't know that Hu always has the ability to turn stones into gold, and none of the projects he has done have failed so far.

On the other hand, Hu Wenhai has a special status and has a very good relationship with the Air Force. 601, which is in the middle of the cracks, cannot but consider that this will be a good opportunity to mend the relationship with the space.

Therefore, when Hu Wenhai proposed that he hoped to cooperate with 601 to develop a battlefield surveillance drone, the institute quickly held a meeting to discuss.

The vast majority of the leaders are of course fully supportive of the cooperation with ST. 601 doesn't say that it can't be opened now, at least the lack of money is indeed lacking, and the eyes are green.

With such a rich man coming to the door, who dares to say a word "no"?

But how to get in touch and how to cooperate with this charter, there are more people who have opinions. At the meeting, you said everything to me, and it seems that the leaders have their own plans. After arguing for a long time, there was still no unanimous opinion.

Under these circumstances, the institute had to adjourn the meeting for the time being and first consider the way of cooperation.

Unexpectedly, in this gap, someone disregarded organizational discipline and found Hu Wenhai privately.

Did Deputy Director Chen act privately, or was there anyone standing behind him? Director Gu couldn't help but think about it.

With Deputy Director Chen's status in the institute, he should not have the courage to contact Hu Wenhai alone regardless of organizational discipline. When Director Gu heard the news, he instantly made a judgment in his heart, there must be someone behind him!

Plan and then act, otherwise go directly to Deputy Director Chen, and the lack of information can only startle the snake.

"Director Ye, I'm Xiao Gu!" Director Gu held the phone and said with a modest smile: "I have a situation here, and I want to inquire about it." ”

"Oh, that's it. Our 601 Institute recently had a cooperation project with Xiucheng Xinke Company, and we were a little unsure about the way of cooperation. No, I would like to ask Director Ye if you can help us inquire in the imperial capital to see if the Ministry of Aviation Industry has any opinions on this cooperation? Otherwise, or do our Science and Technology Industry Commission have any opinions on this cooperation?"

The temptation in Director Gu's words was obviously understood on the other side of the phone. After a few more conversations, he hung up the phone with a lot of concern.

can influence Deputy Director Chen of the 601 Institute, Director Gu can only think of these two directions. Of course, the Aviation Engineering Department is the most likely to stand behind Deputy Director Chen. Speaking of which. The relationship between Hu Wenhai and the Ministry of Aviation Industry cannot be said to be good. Split up the aviation technology. It is equivalent to digging up a piece of meat from the Ministry of Aviation Engineering. Got the right to import and export aircraft, and now the company imports aviation equipment and even the whole aircraft, and does not need to be an agent of China Aviation Technology, I don't know how many people are watching the eyes of the side.

The 601 Institute is greatly influenced by the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and even nominally and theoretically, both of Shengfei's two factories are subordinate enterprises of the Ministry of Aviation Industry.

However, as a military factory, 601 will inevitably be affected by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the military. With Hu Wenhai's influence in the Air Force, it is unlikely that the Commission of Science and Technology will have any ideas.

Director Gu called this Director Ye. He is the leader of the 601 Institute and the son of the "first commander-in-chief", and the relationship is not hard.

With him out of the horse, I believe that the results will come soon.

Sure enough, Director Gu didn't wait too long. Maybe after a phone call or two, the phone on Director Gu's desk rang.

"Hey, Director Ye, yes, I'm Xiao Gu. Director Gu held his breath and listened to the voice on the phone.

"Well, what? that's the case!" he didn't say a word. Director Gu was shocked, and said with a serious expression: "I know." I'm going to go to Comrade Xiaohu and deal with this matter seriously!"

There were two hums on the phone, and Director Gu put down the microphone with a solemn face.

It is said that life is more bizarre than fiction, because fiction still needs to talk about logic and rationality, but real life does not.

Some people are stupid, which is really dumbfounded, but Director Gu has seen it today.

If Director Gu can go through 30 years and see some news in the future, he will definitely lament whether there will always be this kind of SB who has no "common sense" and makes people cry stupidly to sit in a leadership position?

Of course, at this time, he didn't actually have anything on his mind. The only thought is to stop the greedy stupidity of some people before things become irreversible.

Director Gu didn't think about it, pushed away the chair and turned around and walked out of the office. Halfway, the secretary went to gather other leaders in the office, and he kept asking people to prepare the car, and drove out of the gate of the 601 institute in a smoke.

……

"Comrade Xiaohu-" Deputy Director Chen's expression was amiable, and he said with a smile: "As long as you sign this authorization letter, how about every dollar paid to you by the Aviation Engineering Department of the battery produced?

"This can't work, I can't license the water lithium battery technology to the Ministry of Aviation Industry. Hu Wenhai refused.

Not for anything else, this water lithium battery technology may be pitted this year, Hu Wenhai can't watch the country jump into this pit.

Even if it is not for the sake of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, this opening cannot be opened. Otherwise, you have allowed the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and there are many hungry units and ministries in the country, who do you give and who you don't give to?

Hu Wenhai has a golden body of seven billion dollars, and it is not easy to protect the plate in his hand, which is impossible to give away again.

"Comrade Xiaohu, this is unreasonable, we don't have much money from the Ministry of Aviation Industry, you can mention it, why don't you give it to death? What problems we can't talk about?"

"There's nothing to talk about about this. Hu Wenhai was categorical: "I will never authorize the water lithium battery technology." ”

Deputy Director Chen frowned, and his words were a little cold: "Even if you don't cooperate with the 601 Institute for this reason, it doesn't matter?"

Hu Wenhai also put away his smiling face and gradually became serious: "Oh, I want to know-"

"601 has all this determination to refuse to cooperate with me?"

The matter is obvious, without mentioning the difficulties in the operation of the 601 Institute, based on the scope and level of influence that Hu Wenhai can influence today, what reasons does 601 use to refuse his request for cooperation?

Using this threat to Hu Wenhai can only be said to be stupid, and there is no other reason to explain it.

Deputy Director Chen swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down: "The 601 Institute always has to listen to the Ministry of Aviation Industry, this is the opinion of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, if Mr. Hu feels that there is a problem, you can go to the ministry to find someone to see." ”

"Ministry of Aviation Engineering?" a thunderous sound sounded outside the door.

Without waiting for Hu Wenhai to speak, suddenly the door of his room was pushed open from the outside.

I saw that Director Gu was almost gritting his teeth, and hummed: "If the Ministry of Aviation Engineering has an opinion, 601 can consider doing it himself!" )
