"Chief, if nothing else, in half a month, the renovation project of the production workshop of the labor service company of Wanshan Factory will be completed!"

"Well, that's good, oh yes, I heard Chief Master Liang say that you have already trial-produced two Eagle Strike No. 8 missiles?"

"That's right!" Lu Jiadong nodded with a smile: "However, there are still some process problems, but they generally meet the technical standards stipulated by Chief Master Liang!"

"Very good!" Tan Bin, director of the General Staff Equipment Department who came to Wanshan Factory for investigation, looked at the renovation site of the missile workshop of Wanshan Factory where the tower crane was spinning and the crane was frequently rising and falling, and his face was full of a satisfied smile:

"Xiao Lu, you guys are doing a lot this time!"

"The chief has won the award, but"

"Uh, yes, how is the assembly workshop of the new tank? Let's go over and take a look!" Before Lu Jiadong could finish speaking, Tan Bin interrupted Lu Jiadong's words with a smile, and then without waiting for Lu Jiadong to answer, he walked straight towards the newly completed tank assembly workshop of Wanshan Factory:

"Jiadong, you see, there seems to be something wrong with the leaders who came today!" Looking at Tan Bin and the others who were rolling towards the tank assembly workshop with a large group of people, Hu Qinghua, the acting director of the Wanshan Factory, who accompanied the investigation, couldn't help frowning a few times, half a step behind, and said to Lu Jiadong without hesitation:

"It seems that there is always a feeling that Wang Gu is talking about him left and right!"

"It seems that Minister Tan and they are also clever women, it is difficult to cook without rice!" Lu Jiadong replied with emotion, in fact, after agreeing to Liang Shouye's idea in Zhu Guangrong's ward that day, Lu Jiadong faintly felt that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, but with Lu Jiadong's extraordinary wit, he saw the clues before he walked out of the ward.

Although the military-industrial complex with the Wanshan plant as the core already has the initial production and processing capacity of high-end equipment and components, Lu Jiadong knows it very well in his heart. There is still a big gap to reach the level of aerospace, and even if there are several advanced equipment and several craftsmen brought by Liang Shouye, their ability is only barely able to complete the most basic requirements for the production of the YJ-8 missile.

It stands to reason that with such a technical level, Liang Shouye, as the chief designer of aerospace, would not choose Wanshan Factory, but surprisingly, he abandoned other capable large factories. Only favors the military-industrial complex controlled by Lu Jiadong, and its intention is not only that the technical level of several military factories such as Wanshan Factory is incomparable, but that he likes the super self-hematopoietic ability of the entire military-industrial complex, which is basically three words, for money!

Speaking of which, Liang Shouye is also helpless, the YJ-8 anti-ship missile has been in a state of black household since the Naval Aviation Qiang-5B project was launched, even with the support of the Navy. As well as the help of a large number of military veterans and aerospace experts, this missile model has barely survived.

However, as far as Liang Shouye is concerned, it is not a technical problem that has bothered him from beginning to end, but real money; you must know that the development of weapons and equipment is originally a thing that costs money like water, but the YJ-8 anti-ship missile, which is a "black household," has not received financial support at the state level at all because of its own particularity. It is not easy to complete the overall research and development work with the Navy's appropriation and the research institute's own funds, and it will be necessary to wait until the overall assembly and production of missiles are completed. Liang Shouye was completely in trouble.

You must know that in the initial stage of development, although the various tests cost money, the scale was relatively not very large, and it was enough to get through it with a belt of trousers, but when it came to the total production stage, the cost of installing a new missile production line could be said to be astronomical. The scale is so large that it involves a lot of personnel and equipment, which is simply beyond people's imagination, and the problem cannot be solved by the Navy's appropriations and belts alone.

In this regard, Liang Shouye, as the chief engineer, can be said to have gray hair. Fortunately, his old classmate Yang Hongyi showed him a clear way, and Liang Shouye found that the military-industrial complex with Wanshan Factory as the core was barely enough in terms of technical level, and the most important thing was that their self-hematopoietic function was very strong, especially the core figure Lu Jiadong was simply the god of wealth in the military industrial system, such a good son-in-law, even if he didn't look down on his daughter, he, an old man, had to work hard to help his beloved daughter get it, not for anything else, just because the rich dowry was really intoxicating

How could Lu Jiadong not understand Liang Shouye's thoughts, but he could bring the Eagle Strike No. 8 anti-ship missile, a star-level weapon and equipment that would become famous all over the world in the future, Lu Jiadong was willing even if he was bleeding profusely, and because of this, the trap that Liang Shouye had worked so hard to compile, Lu Jiadong not only walked in without care, but was also very happy and happy, and was very willing.

Not to mention the introduction and procurement of supporting equipment for the production line, as well as the transformation of the plant is a staggering astronomical figure, that is, the various test equipment after the final assembly of the missile is a big expense.

It is necessary to know that each aircraft must carry out a series of tests when leaving the factory, just like a car, after the assembly is completed, the performance of tires, bearings, brakes and other performance must be inspected, and the same is true for aircraft, of course, missiles do not need to be tested like airplanes, but tests such as overload, high temperature, low temperature, vibration, rain, and anti-corrosion are essential.

Just the configuration of these testing equipment has spent most of the scientific research funds on Lu Jiadong's hands, and if you count the new tank development projects that are being promoted, it will cost money like running water, and the two major sales holes will be running at the same time, and it won't take long for Lu Jiadong's originally thick family foundation to be sucked dry!

"What can I do then?" Hu Qinghua knew better than anyone else about the existing situation, because the safe of the Wanshan factory he led was almost cleaner than his face, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of this investigation by the higher-level leaders to reflect the existing difficulties to several leaders on the spot, so that he could ask for some funds from the superiors.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiadong longed for this aspect several times, but Tan Bin and others either shirked or interrupted, just praised a few words painlessly, and then diverted the topic to talk about other things.

But he didn't have time to think about the deeper things, as a factory manager, he had to think about the wages of the workers, the progress of the project, and all the places where the money was going to be spent at the moment, because without money, he was really going to be unsustainable, because of this, he seemed more excited than ever:

"Is it true that you really want to starve to death upright?" Jiadong, don't blame me for complaining afterwards, at that time, I strongly advocated that Chief Liang's Eagle Strike No. 8 missile project be introduced to our factory for production, and many comrades have reservations, and now it is true, what we get is not a treasure, but a hot potato, otherwise we will stop this project, at least we can keep the salary in the next few months."

"No!" Before Hu Qinghua finished speaking, Lu Jiadong interrupted him with unquestionable words, in fact, Lu Jiadong understood that Hu Qinghua's thoughts did not mean that he was alone, and many old leaders, old workers, and even members of the new tank leading group of the Wanshan Factory were very puzzled by Lu Jiadong's introduction of the Eagle Strike No. 8 anti-ship missile production project, but because Lu Jiadong's prestige was there, and Zhu Guangrong and other old experts did not raise objections, so they were launched.

But when the financial situation is in trouble, the hidden contradictions are highlighted, such a situation Hu Qinghua and others are under great pressure, and the boulder pressed down by Lu Jiadong's heart is really not light, otherwise he would not be a little angry because Hu Qinghua was excited, but Lu Jiadong quickly adjusted, so he stretched out his hand and patted Hu Qinghua's shoulder, and said in a slow tone:

"No matter what, we always have a way, and the YJ-8 anti-ship missile project cannot be stopped no matter what!"

"But, Jiadong, you have also seen it, the attitude of the chiefs is there, and the superiors are also cleaner than their faces, if it is a previous project, I won't say anything, but now the transformation of the plant has not been completed, the old foundation has been hollowed out, look at me and calculate, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you can't plug the big hole of the Eagle Strike No. 8 anti-ship missile, not to mention that we still have new tanks, Jiadong, we are really exhausted!"

Hu Qinghua said as he spoke, tears were about to fall, and Lu Jiadong also knew that it was not a way to spend it like this, but the current military industry has always been short of money, whether it is the Equipment Department of the General Staff Department or the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the little money on hand is eager to be broken into eight petals.

There is no extra funds to support the existing YJ-8 anti-ship missile assembly and production project, although the Navy strongly supports it, but that money is a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve the problem at all, and now we can only find another way, but Lu Jiadong is not sure about this:

"Jiadong Jiadong, Jiadong, you have something to say!" Seeing Lu Jiadong standing there silent, Hu Qinghua's eyes lit up:

"Did you come up with a good idea?"

In his eyes, Lu Jiadong's groaning at every critical moment is a process of generating ideas that are enough to turn things around, this time, Hu Qinghua also hopes that Lu Jiadong can create a miracle, but to Hu Qinghua's disappointment, Lu Jiadong did not nod his head as firmly as before, and then said with an indifferent smile: "That's right."

Instead, he shook his head and repeated Hu Qinghua's question: "Good way?"

After speaking, he nodded noncommittally and repeated it again, until he finally sighed deeply and summarized it intriguingly:

"Hey, no matter what, the living can't let the urine suffocate to death!"

After speaking, he strode forward regardless of it, leaving Hu Qinghua to shake his head gloomily, and then followed helplessly (to be continued). )
