Chapter 51: Acting Cheaply
And pull the eyes back to China, and the timeline also goes back to Monday, November 5th.
At the same time that Gu Biao finished the midterm exam and got three credits (the school gave Gu Biao preferential treatment, and he passed the exam in the middle of a few courses and gave credits directly), the door of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry and the Naval Equipment Planning Institute finally ran through.
The details are harmonious and indescribable.
Early in the morning, Gu Biao pretended to be very innocent and was called to the ministry by Director Bao.
Gu Biao specially hid his Volga, but pedaled a bicycle to the first machine department, so as not to be too dazzling - some deputy director-level cadres are not equipped with cars.
As soon as he entered the door, Director Bao got straight to the point: "Xiao Gu, did you cooperate more and more with Lin Guodong later? Do you have shares in Xiangjiang?"
Gu Biao pretended to be startled, and then admitted very shyly: "I also took the legal bonus given to my family by the state, and I want to do something, you know...... Did I make a mistake?"
Director Bao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, I'll tell you the truth, you are indeed illegal in this matter, but you are not illegal." National policy is currently blank, and there are no regulations on this matter. I also believe that you are trying to find something, not to do something bad. ”
Gu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as another endorsement and reported to the leader.
After seeing Gu Fu's reaction, Director Bao thought that he had seen through everything, and persuaded him with a hammer: "However, there is a demand from the brother unit at present, and I want to get the most cutting-edge Standicon from the United States to study the gyroscope and force feedback sensor inside."
You are not an outsider, so I will tell you the specific purpose - the Naval Equipment Planning Institute hopes to reverse some valuable dry goods to make some contribution to the research and development of the navigation system of the YJ-5 anti-ship missile.
I really don't know what the people at the Naval Equipment Institute think in their heads, but they actually think of two things that span so far apart -- they are obviously engaged in missiles, but they use their brains to make movies. ”
Gu Biao listened patiently to this, did not interject, and finally asked innocently: "Then what? Since you think it helps, then buy it." ”
Director Bao showed a hint of cunning eyes: "You really don't know how to pretend that you don't understand? Our country is now in a state of ruins, how precious is foreign exchange, how can the three major film studios spend at least a hundred thousand dollars in foreign exchange to buy a camera controller? That is not in vain to arouse the suspicion of the Americans!"
So they thought about it and thought that it was better to find a Xiangjiang movie tycoon to come forward and pretend to buy the first advanced equipment in Asia as a publicity stunt. On the other hand, the state does not have this budget, and it is difficult for the Navy Equipment Institute to apply.
They found out that there are people in our department who have cooperated with the copyright agency of Xiangjiang, and even your kid has used that Xiangjiang company to import a lot of translated film copyrights from Yueben. Isn't this joint in your hands! How about it, are you willing to contribute to the country?"
Director Bao's request seems a little unreasonable at first glance - isn't it just that he has some business ties with the copyright agency company in Xiangjiang? Why do you have to ask him to do this kind of work to help the brother department?
But in the situation of 79 years, it is really very scarce to have a relationship with the boss of Xiangjiang and cover. The entire Ministry of Ordnance Industry really can't find such a relation, after all, Xiangjiang is not good at industry, and there is no cooperation with the domestic military industry.
In addition, Gu Biao asked Zhang Zhong to secretly add fuel to the fire there, and as soon as he pushed and pulled, he would not succeed.
Gu Biao had an expression of reluctance but reluctance: "Since the country needs it, I am duty-bound, but I can't afford to donate so much money to the Naval Equipment Institute." ”
Director Bao waved his hand: "How can you give away so much money from the country for nothing, and you can't come up with it." The above means that, for example, you can go and meet Sir Shao, and then negotiate with him, buy equipment in their name, and then the property rights will go to them after the purchase.
The state just hopes to temporarily disassemble it for study, and after the study is completed, it will be put back in its original state, and it will definitely not be broken. Sir Shao is said to be quite patriotic, and should help secretly. Specifically, you can think of commercial cooperation means, in short, to facilitate this. ”
This number of roads is actually a bit like the Tokyo side, where Minister Arai of Taidong wanted to use Takasa the owner of Akihabara Electric Appliance to borrow a game console to disassemble the reverse research.
It's just that now Gu Biao has become the character used by the state.
Of course, Gu Biao would not refuse.
He just said with embarrassment: "If that's the case, it should be fine." But...... It's about how to fool the Americans, and I have to pretend to be a real capitalist. I wonder if these necessary camouflage will leave a stain?"
Director Bao: "What's there to worry about, don't worry! The director knows about this, you can do whatever you want, how you want to be like a real capitalist, even if you bring a woman to pretend to be a playboy together, it's okay, just pay attention to confidentiality, don't look for something in the system that is easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party." In addition, this time I will change you to an ordinary passport, and everything will be according to the business visa. ”
After that, I also showed him some written evidence, so I won't go into details.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll let it go, and I don't care about personal honor and disgrace!" Gu Biao sighed and agreed.
He thought about it in his heart, and felt that this job could go to Xiangjiang first, contact the required cover, and then go to the United States.
At that time, flights from Xiangjiang to the United States had to stop in Tokyo. He can prepare a long-term business visa to Japan first, and then stay in Tokyo for a few days when he returns from the United States to deal with Han Ting's troubles.
Before leaving, he thought of one last question: "By the way, Director, let's ...... If you are so enthusiastic about helping your brothers, you won't be a taboo, right?"
Of course, he was referring to the fact that "the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the First Ministry of Aircraft Affairs works for the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry." ”
In officialdom, sometimes it's not always the more you do, the better, but also depends on whether the other party minds if you are too lenient.
However, for this point, Director Bao immediately gave an affirmative answer: "Don't worry, everyone knows that we are going to be transferred to the Foreign Investment Commission soon." This can be regarded as getting on the bus in advance and then making up the ticket, and making a time difference. After the establishment of the Foreign Investment Commission, the powers of the foreign affairs bureaus of the five ministries were under control.
Let's do chivalrous action in advance, so that the brother units can be convinced. And you've been busy in school in the past month, so I don't know much about the news of the institutional adjustment, so I'll just tell you about it. The establishment of the Foreign Investment Commission has been advanced again, and it may be expected in December. ”
According to the original plan of the National U Academy, it was supposed to be in February next year, which is equivalent to being a little earlier.
Gu Biao asked softly, "Is there something new happening?"
Director Bao sighed: "Of course there is a new situation - just last week, the chief just entrusted Boss Rong to establish CITIC Trust. A week ago, an enterprise under the Ministry of Petroleum in Northeast China, Liaoyang Petrochemical, developed a localized 'really good' production technology.
And the current situation of foreign exchange loss, you know: after the country opened, the people at the bottom in eastern Guangdong did not sympathize with the country, and foreign exchange was wasted on chemical fiber textiles smuggled into foreign countries. In Shenzhen and Guangdong, how many people are pouring soft yarn, which is indeed good?
Therefore, after hearing that Liaoyang Petrochemical has developed a truly good technology for domestic production, Gu Xiang is planning to slow down Baosteel's follow-up payment, squeeze out money, take Liaoyang Petrochemical's technology, and engage in Yangzhou's Yizheng chemical fiber, blocking the channels for the people to waste underground foreign exchange to buy foreign chemical fiber, and can also export as soon as possible to earn foreign exchange.
The establishment of CITIC Trust is to first raise funds for these two projects, and Boss Rong assured the central government that he wants to plan a new model of 'issuing trust bonds' to attract foreign investment. If we don't accelerate the establishment of the Foreign Investment Commission, it will be difficult to cooperate with CITIC's work at that time. ”
After listening to this, Gu Biao nodded frequently, and finally integrated the historical events that he only knew in his previous life.
In 1978 and even in the first quarter of '79, when the country launched new projects, it was indeed focused on heavy industry, such as Baosteel. But then it was found that the cycle of recovering the investment of these things was too slow, and the funding gap was beyond expectations. In the second half of the year, it turned sharply to light industry, and wanted to rely on chemical fiber, which is a fast-coming thing, to stabilize the depleted foreign exchange reserves.
In this, of course, there are factors caused by the scientific and technological progress of Liaoyang Petrochemical to realize the localization of chemical fiber in October 79, and there is also the influence of the subsequent Afghan war trend-
At the beginning of the year, when the country was at war with the Vietnamese, it was still worried that the Soviets would invade us in order to help Vietnam. This is also the main reason for the large number of heavy industry projects in the past. After all, there is a threat of war, and there is no future for engaging in light industry, and it is impossible to enhance combat effectiveness.
And it was in December 79 that the Soviet Union officially began its invasion of Afghanistan. After seeing that Afghanistan was holding back the Soviet Union, the country finally breathed a sigh of relief and knew that there was no risk of war in the north, so it boldly focused on light industry for a few years to make money.
But such a drastic shift will inevitably lead to a significant funding gap. So much so that the "issuance of overseas bonds", which I had never dared to think about before, can only be thought of.
It is not surprising that the Commission was established two months earlier than originally anticipated.
……
After Gu Biao asked for the authorization to "act cheaply" from Director Bao, the specific preparations could of course be arranged independently.
He has actually thought about related things for a long time, according to this model, it is best to disguise himself as a money-making official and second generation who "makes a little money through the copyright business and tries to cooperate with the Xiangjiang film and television industry".
It's best to want to see the outside world of flowers, play with female stars, and praise the horns.
Such a character is easy for Hollywood people to understand.
If you don't get close to women at all, you won't be regarded as a spy from China.
In order to alleviate suspicion, these female students of the Foreign Affairs University must not be able to pull their peers, the goal is too big.
It's best to find a girl who seems to be trendy and avant-garde on the surface, has a good impression of the West, and is easily attracted by drunken gold fans.
After filtering the girls he knew in his mind, Gu Biao decided to find Xiao Sui to give it a try.
In the 80s, there were not too many literary and artistic young women who admired the United States. Talking about a beautiful writer who writes works that reflect on society, and wants to be praised as a famous screenwriter in the Western film and television industry, Americans listen to a letter.
So that night, Gu Biao dialed Xiao Sui's phone at home in Hujiang.
"Suiko, are you free? I might want you to take a few days off and cover for me. ”
