Chapter 261: Jealousy

Hu Wenhai occasionally guesses what kind of person he is to the people above?

Is it a variable? Is it a stone that crosses the river? Is it a special case? Is it a lucky little brat? Is it a genius with some ideas? Or is it an ordinary person who thinks he is important, but is not that important?

Hu Wenhai has never been an expert in politics or psychology, so he has no way of knowing what kind of image he looks like above, and where the bottom line of his toss is.

But he knows at least one thing, and that is that the top of this era, as history has already shown, is a group of real "pragmatists".

By the mid-80s, the line was actually very clear, that is, to develop the productive forces.

History has proven that the line for the next 30 years is to make the cake bigger and cover up the contradictions, not to engage in "class struggle as the key link" as in the previous expansion film.

In other words, everything is negotiable when you have money. If Hu Wenhai wants to play a side game, in the 80s, he could only let the country eat meat first, so that he could drink good soup. When the great rivers of the country are full, there will be water in his small rivers.

As long as he does not touch the possible high-voltage line, under this premise, it can bring tangible benefits, and the space for his activities is still very huge.

The navy will come to the door, but Hu Wenhai is not too surprised. As early as when contracting the Bo ship, the navy had already expressed the idea of wanting to contact him.

It's just that at that time, it was difficult to say whether the shipbuilding method of the general section of the Bohai ship could be successful, so the enthusiasm of the navy was not too high.

With the delivery of Stanley Ho's ships, it must be said that the effect of the general section shipbuilding method is reflected, and it is still quite attractive to the navy.

Conveying such a signal of cooperation through Zhang Shaozhong did not show too eagerness. It also showed a certain amount of attention, and presumably the navy also spent a lot of brains on it.

And Hu Wenhai, who has always been counting on being able to intercept South Korea and undertake the industrial transfer of Japan's shipbuilding industry, of course, is simply desperate for this kind of cooperation.

For this reason, he almost did not stop, and after sending off Shannuo's engineering regiment, he flew back to Bohai Province.

The development of the Needle Eye UAV was completed. Rossi also returned to Bo Ship to continue to promote the deployment of the computer part of the giant general section shipbuilding method. The simulation software of Galaxy 1 should be combined with the shipbuilding process, but it is not just a matter of using it. Hardware deployment is secondary, and data collection and operator training are the most headaches.

Fortunately, from the perspective of the system, Xinke has always been implemented by Hu Wenhai according to the standards of high-tech enterprises. The most important thing is that Xinke will never be short of money in hand, and the employees of Xinke will be quite higher than the employees of other enterprises in the society in terms of salary and life.

With the real interests to speak, coupled with the official influence shown by Hu Wenhai, the vitality of the company's products. Let the workers realize that this is a company with a "future".

The basic salary, piece-rate wages and high bonuses, combined with the decisiveness of the sofa of private enterprises, as well as the strict and conscientious implementation of rules and regulations, make the corporate appearance of the whole company completely different from other enterprises in the society.

With a multi-pronged approach, ST employees can be counted in China in terms of quality, skills and initiative.

It is precisely with such a team of workers that Hu Wenhai has the confidence to go to the giant general section shipbuilding method, which requires quite high manufacturing and management capabilities.

"Actually—"

The person standing in front of Hu Wenhai was wearing a white 85 navy cadre uniform, and his elegant but straight posture was neat.

Speaking of which. The Type 85 military uniform has not changed much on the basis of Type 55, but it has only laid the foundation for the restoration of the rank system in 88. The hierarchy in the army is reflected in the military uniform.

However, Hu Wenhai personally feels that compared with the grass green of the army and the cloudy blue of the air force, at least the white uniforms of the navy do not have the problem of dyeing and obsolescence, and they look a little more uplifting.

And a white navy cadre uniform is worn on the body of the person who came, this "navy ocean" is really not called in vain.

The person who came hesitated for a moment and said: "The general section of shipbuilding law is for the navy. The meaning is limited. ”

"What Secretary Chi means is that the Giant General Section Shipbuilding Law does not play a big role in the promotion of shipbuilding technology and the progress of the Navy?"

"Yes. Secretary Chi finally nodded.

"Since the chief visited the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in 1980, he has truly felt the huge gap between our country and the US Navy. Since then, the chief has often sighed. It is not known when we will be able to board our own aircraft carrier of China. ”

Hu Wenhai listened to Secretary Chi's words, and was inevitably a little silent. The chief served by Secretary Chi should be the first Chinese soldier to board an aircraft carrier. During the time when he was leading the navy, he was heartbroken for China to be able to launch aircraft carriers, and even shouted out the painful cry of "China has no aircraft carriers, I will not be able to turn a blind eye!"

However, it is a pity that this founding general did not make it to the Chinese's own aircraft carrier.

For Hu Wenhai, he knows it very well in his heart. In the next 30 years, the Chinese army will be able to release Nanshan, because after fighting a self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, China will not have a large-scale war that needs the army's intervention.

The air force is the branch of the military that will put the greatest pressure on China's peaceful development in the future, and as long as the provocations of foreign military forces are concentrated in the air contest, the air force is the branch of the military that has achieved the greatest development.

Thirty years later, however, China's most powerful military is undoubtedly its navy.

It takes a navy to break through the island chain, it takes a navy to protect the South China Sea, and it needs a navy to ensure the interests of China's commerce in the world.

In short, the air force depends on the home and nursing homes, and the navy depends on the business and hooliganism.

Without a strong navy, how can China arbitrarily play hooligans in the future?

If you talk about imperial toys, just look at the US imperialism, the navy is the real imperial toy on the blue star, and only the real empire can play with the big toy.

Compared with the construction of some toy simulation machines and drones, warships are undoubtedly too tall! Hu Wenhai is really a little gearing up and can't wait to participate in the manufacturing of these big toys.

"What does Secretary Chi mean, what do you need from me?" Hu Wenhai rubbed his hands with interest and said, "As long as the Americans are willing to sell." I'm trying, but I'll be able to get a Nimitz back for the Navy!"

"Poof—ahem!"

Secretary Chi was taken aback by Hu Wenhai's words, and coughed twice before he calmed down and waved his hand again and again: "That's what the chief meant, don't say the Americans." It is also impossible for the state to ask individuals to donate aircraft carriers. ”

He smiled bitterly in his heart, as a naval officer, of course, Secretary Chi knew everything about aircraft carriers, which were the warships that the chief never remembered.

In the case of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, when the construction of the USS Nimitz was started in 1976, the hull budget was $2.3 billion, and the budget for the whole ship exceeded more than $4 billion.

In fact, this is just a drizzle, with Secretary Chi's understanding of Hu Wenhai, this gritted teeth may really have a way to make up the money for the hull.

However, the maintenance cost of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers is as high as more than $1 billion per year.

So. Even if Hu Wenhai really gets back an aircraft carrier - I'm sorry, China can't afford to raise it.

For China in 1985, there was no money to raise aircraft carriers, no stage for aircraft carriers to play their role, and there was no need to equip aircraft carriers.

Of course, today's China is no longer the time to resist US aggression and aid Korea. It is no longer like Mei Lanfang donating airplanes, and it is no longer necessary for civilians to raise funds and donate weapons and equipment to the state, which is still needed by a big country.

Not to mention the fact that the Americans are willing to sell the F-14 to China. But it is absolutely impossible to sell it to a Chinese aircraft carrier.

But in any case, this Hu Wenhai opened his mouth to turn the momentum of the aircraft carrier. It really scared Secretary Chi and his friends.

Hu Wenhai was helpless, after all, the Chinese Navy in 1985 was not the China that aircraft carriers could dump thirty years later, which did not surprise him.

"So, what does Secretary Chi want me to do?"

"I'll tell you the truth, what the Navy needs most now is not warships, but military spending!"

Secretary Chi smiled wryly. Spread his hands and said: "Mr. Hu probably knows that the maintenance fee of the navy is a bottomless pit. However, compared with the army and air force, the military spending of the navy is not at the same level at all. Hu is always a strange person, I just came to learn from the experience. I don't want the F-14 and I don't want seven billion, as long as Hu can show the way. ”

Hu Wenhai raised his brows when he heard this. His mouth opened wide in surprise.

What does Secretary Chi mean by this? Actually, it is very simple, if he personifies the dialogue between men and women, it means "I'm jealous!"

Yes, the Navy is jealous. You have bought F-14s for the Air Force, sprinkled gold and silver all over the localization of the Panda, and brought in a project of 7 billion yuan to the Army -- although it is said that it was carried out by the General Logistics Department, isn't the money of the General Logistics Department the money of the Army? The Chinese Army does not have a navy and air force, and only the Army Navy and the Army Air Corps are not shouted in vain. If you look at the backgrounds of the leaders of the three general departments, you will know which branch of the military to which the 7 billion yuan will flow.

In the final analysis, you Mr. Hu is so capable, you have to have a bowl of water.

"Mr. Hu's ability is in the eyes of the navy, and he originally wanted to learn whether he could alleviate the current situation by exporting military weapons. But naval equipment has its own peculiarities, and political factors are sometimes more important than quality and price. At present, the results of opening up the international market for naval equipment are only Egypt, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, which are the exceptions of Iran and Iraq, and there is really no profit.

Chapter 262: Homecoming

Hu Wenhai fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't have a way to make money, just as he positions himself, the big river is full of water and the small river.

In the 80s, when there was no room for private enterprises to survive, he was able to maintain his private enterprise system, that is, he won a lot more than others.

In order to ensure that this small river can run at full capacity, it is definitely better to find yourself some "umbrella".

For this reason, even if he divides a part of his own business, as long as he can exchange it for the favor of the upper echelons of the central government, Hu Wenhai feels that he has earned it.

But the problem is that the Navy itself wants to face.

The Chinese Navy in the 80s, to put it mildly, that is, the life of the young master's body.

The poor jingle three rings, with no right to speak and influence, but there are a lot of things that have been beaten on their backs.

Far from it. At the beginning of 85, the North Sea Fleet's defection from South Korea made the Navy very disgraced for a while.

By the 3.14 naval battle in 88, although it was won and won quite beautifully, the weakness of the naval strength of the South China Sea Fleet was also exposed. The Soviet Union deployed more than 20 warships in Cam Ranh Bay, and the Annamite people were pretending to be tigers. The J-8 II has only a combat radius of 800 kilometers, and naval battles in the eighties actually relied on naval guns to "wash the deck".

Again, that's the same sentence. The Iran-Iraq war was fought at the level of World War II with modern weapons, while China and Annan fought with weapons that could not be used at the level of World War II.

This level can actually be imagined. If it weren't for the urgency, there wouldn't be that famous picture of a tank on a cargo ship.

At the end of the day, it's still poor. In terms of national strategy, the navy was on the sidelines in the 80s, and naturally it had little influence and right to speak.

The domestic shipbuilding industry is not something that the Navy can interfere in, which is different from the strong influence of the Air Force on the aviation industry.

The perennial largest customer of China's aviation industry is the Air Force, and the domestic air traffic control is simply done by the Air Force, so the air port is naturally strongly influenced by the Air Force.

Hu Wenhai praised Shen Fei. Throwing money at the localization of pandas, most of which can fall into the pockets of the Air Force.

But the domestic shipyard is not something that the Navy can interfere with, and the Sixth Machinery Department - oh, now it has been renamed China Shipbuilding Corporation. The vast majority of the business of the domestic shipbuilding industry is not brought by the navy.

Although it is the political task of the China Shipbuilding Corporation to protect the navy, no matter how well the shipbuilding industry develops, the navy will really not have much interest here.

Having said so much, Hu Wenhai had a thought in his heart - difficult!

The Navy wants to face. It is unwilling to snatch food from Hu Wenhai's bowl, and the navy's military industry does not have such great influence! It has several military factories in its hands. The profitability is very worrying, and it cannot be compared with the army and the air force.

The shipbuilding industry has made progress and the navy has not received any direct benefits, so the giant general section shipbuilding method cannot scratch the itch of the navy.

If he wanted to think of a way to "eat" for the navy, Hu Wenhai really had no idea for a while. If the money is fast, he remembers that there are several temples in the third brother's house that can be dug. But the dignified Chinese Navy can't be a tomb robber. How to say that the navy also has to hold a little bit of the five hooligans.

And the Navy is probably not interested in making quick money, and it can't help but spend the money it has. When the navy goes to sea, it burns money, and digging a temple can make the fleet go out how many times?

Therefore, there must be a trickle of water and a long-term way suitable for the navy, at least to earn the maintenance cost of the fleet. Some things can't be said too thoroughly. In history, a penny stumped the heroes, and in order to feed the fleet, the navy also made some business that did not make much money but had a bad reputation.

In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Hu Wenhai must think carefully.

"If you can, can Secretary Chi give me a little time?" Hu Wenhai hesitated: "I really don't have any good way for a while, but Secretary Chi, don't worry, I will answer this matter! I will definitely find a way for the navy in my heart." ”

Secretary Chi looked happy and nodded violently: "Just have Mr. Hu's words, I believe in your ability! The chief also believes in your ability!"

Hu Wenhai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid that the navy would be unreasonable, so he had to come up with a solution immediately. Instead, he was worried about Shengmien's fight against Mimi, and the navy felt that he should take action.

Now that he has Secretary Chi's attitude of "acknowledging affection", he has plenty of motivation in his heart.

Hu Wenhai and Secretary Chi had a casual chat at the end, and mastered some of the military-to-civilian projects that the Navy is currently interested in promoting, but unfortunately he did not find any promising good projects that he knew.

Secretary Chi repeatedly patted his chest and promised that as long as Hu Wenhai remembered that he had the heart to help the navy. Regardless of whether there is a result or not, the Navy remembers Mr. Hu as a friend.

The two of them stood on the beach not far from the outfitting wharf of the Bohai boat and chatted for a long time, and after eating in the small stove of the canteen, Hu Wenhai said goodbye to Secretary Chi and went around the Bohai shipyard area twice.

During the time he left, it can be seen that the mental outlook of the workers of Bochuan is indeed different.

Hu Wenhai always remembers a sentence he heard from a professional manager back then, "A boss who just talks about his feelings with workers and does not pay bonuses is a hooligan!"

Whether it's corporate culture, team training, or improving the quality of workers, don't forget to talk about money!

First-class workers must first have first-class remuneration and have a stable life guarantee. Workers will tell you about responsibility.

To put it bluntly, the general lack of responsibility among workers in China's state-owned enterprises in the 80s was directly related to the remuneration for their work. To put it simply, wages can't beat CPI, and workers naturally have no motivation to work hard.

After Hu Wenhai took over Bochuan, although the salary was still the one stipulated by the state. However, there is a steady stream of various living allowances, piecework commissions and bonuses, and there are also rich benefits during the New Year's holidays.

With these rich material foundations, the implementation of strict quality management and standardization is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

By September 1985, after intensive technical transformation and expansion of production, Bochuan had the ability to start construction of nine to 15 giant sections of three ships at the same time.

But this is only the beginning, and Hu Wenhai does not look down on the long production cycle and weak profitability of heavy industry. He did not buy Bo ships for shipbuilding, but to promote the giant general section shipbuilding method.

Bochuan is a sample, which is a sample for domestic shipbuilders to transform themselves to adapt to the giant section shipbuilding method.

It is precisely in this way that Hu Wenhai's investment in Bochuan can be described as sparing no effort and perfection. Of course it seems now. These inputs have clearly yielded quite good results.

After a day of investigation, Hu Wenhai left the Bochuan satisfied.

He hadn't been home for more than a month, and now he was at home. If it weren't for Secretary Chi's too big and hidden background, maybe he would have arranged this meeting at the dinner table at home.

Like Secretary Lu, the other leaders above are also in the wait-and-see period, not knowing what attitude to face the higher and bigger Xinke company. In this case, of course, it is best for the secretary to come and contact privately.

Secretary Chi is reluctant to appear in public, and Hu Wenhai can understand this concern. Private businesses are able to walk in the sun. At least until the nineties.

As for being able to get rid of the treatment of a little daughter-in-law - Hu Wenhai didn't see such a possibility before he crossed over.

So Hu Wenhai did not complain. It's just that I really miss my family a little in my heart, so I simply pushed the dinner party that Bochuan kept here, and drove Santana back to Xiucheng in the afternoon.

When Hu Wenhai returned home, he saw Lu Jia playing with shuttlecock in the yard a little alone. Although the little girl was not very old, she kicked a shuttlecock decently, and recited the mantra while kicking back.

"A palm. Second-hand back, three wine cups, four chopsticks ......"

Hu Wenhai pushed open the courtyard door of his home, and saw Lu Jia like an elf, dexterously and pretentiously kicking the shuttlecock on his feet up and down.

Until this time. Hu Wenhai suddenly held his head, thinking that he didn't seem to have a school to go to! He graduated from high school! He didn't take the college entrance examination! He didn't go to college!

And Lu Jia's sister Lu Xin should report at HKUST now and start her freshman career.

Before he knew it, he had become a "social idler".

Hu Wenhai stood next to him and waited for Lu Jia to finish a round of kicking, then squatted down and beckoned to her: "Jiajia, are you lonely by yourself? Brother brought you a gift." ”

He opened his duffel bag and pulled out a set of 24 colored crayons and plasticine as if offering a treasure. Hu Wenhai still remembers that after Lu Jia married him, he once complained to him that he especially wanted a set of crayons and plasticine when he was a child.

It's a pity that Lu Yinglong has difficulty even raising their sisters, where does he have the money and heart to satisfy the little girl's extravagant wishes.

"Brother Hu, Jiajia misses you so much!" Lu Jia first saw Hu Wenhai's face, and immediately pounced in surprise.

When he looked up and saw the gift Hu Wenhai took out, he couldn't help but let out a "wow", a pair of small hands couldn't cover his open mouth.

Seeing that she didn't dare to take it, Hu Wenhai couldn't help but stuff it into her hand: "Take it, you live in my house, we will be a family in the future, do you know? What do you want, tell me directly......"

"That'...... Thank you, Brother Hu!" Lu Jia finally smiled and hugged the gift tightly in his arms.

"Hey?" After a sudden sound of footsteps, someone pushed open the door of the main house of the old Hu family, and a voice sounded: "Hu Wenhai, remember me? Oops, I haven't seen you for many years!"

A young man in his early twenties wearing a dark green railway uniform stood up from behind Xiao Yeqin and Hu Jiefang with a smile on his face, looking at the ignorant Hu Wenhai with a look of surprise.

"I, don't you remember?, let's play together since childhood, your uncle Hu Shengli!" (To be continued.) )
