Chapter 104: Separation of the Factory Business
Chen Xu sat in the eldest brother's boss's chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze, he was waiting for Bush Sr. to reply. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info believes that with the popularity of this old man, let alone directly to Director Turner, even if he calls President Reagan directly, he will not be refused, and Allen will be released is a sure thing.
After almost half an hour of waiting, in Chen Xu's impatience, the phone finally rang again, and as soon as he picked up the microphone, the excited voice of Bush Sr. came: "Your subordinates have been released, and I apologize to you on behalf of the US government for this matter, and there will never be such a mistake in the future." ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was still very puzzled, Allen did not recruit anyone to provoke anyone, and the CIA could not arrest him for no reason, although he knew that the elder Bush would not necessarily answer, but he still tried to ask: "Why did the CIA arrest my men?" As far as I know, this subordinate has always been law-abiding, and the treatment he received in this way makes me suspect that the United States is deliberately targeting certain issues. ”
"There is absolutely no such thing, this operation is purely a misunderstanding, and the CIA has released Mr. Allen and compensated him. Chen, I hope this incident doesn't affect our friendship! The elder Bush emphasized the word friendship, but the meaning behind it was that he did not want to affect arms purchases.
Of course, Chen Xu understands that Allen has been successfully released, as long as the person is still alive, he does not want to be overly entangled in this matter: "Since the person has been released, then this subordinate of mine will screen the arms company on my behalf, and only the enterprises with his consent can bring the exhibits to our country for field tests." ”
Because China procures arms with real money, weapons and equipment cannot be delivered with one hand, so foreign military enterprises must be allowed to bring their favorite weapons to China for on-the-spot inspections to see if these weapons are suitable for China's climate and environment. At the same time, it is necessary to test whether these weapons are as good as advertised, and if the weapons companies deliberately exaggerate the data, they should take advantage of the opportunity to bargain or simply eliminate them.
There are hundreds of weapons companies in Europe and the United States, and it is impossible for Chen Xu to personally go to one house to review them, and those weapons involve a lot of data, and it is very difficult to test them, and it may not be possible to do it for a year and a half.
And Allen is different, this guy is not only an arms dealer, but also a weapons expert, any weapon under his keen eye, those arms companies don't want to play tricks.
Of course, the most important point is to allow Allen to get in touch with the military industrial enterprises of various countries and establish friendly relations. In the future, if Chen Xu wants to trade any weapons, he will also have a way to get in touch.
Next, Chen Xu had a polite relationship with Bush Sr. for a while, he wanted to have a good relationship with the future US president, while Bush Sr. wanted to get more arms orders. So the two guys with their own ghosts actually chatted happily.
After chatting deeply, Bush Sr. couldn't help but start selling the M1A1 tank on the phone, but Chen Xu just hung on the appetite of this old man and never gave a positive answer.
Half an hour later, both of them hung up the phone satisfied, and then Chen Xu called Claire again, telling him that Alan was free and asked her to pick people up.
Alan had just escaped the catastrophe, and Chen Xu had no way to discuss things with him, so he could only wait for him to recuperate.
The matter of arms procurement has been going on for a long time, and there is no hurry. Chen Xu could only put it down for the time being and put his mind back on drawing.
Half of the morning passed, and my father and eldest brother were still asleep, one of them was the director of the Public Security Department and the other was the deputy director of the military factory. If you get drunk at night and don't go to work during the day, there is no one else with such a work attitude. However, the officials of the two of them have achieved this level, and occasionally if they are willful, no one will gossip, after all, no one dares to fire them.
When he returned to his bedroom, he spread out a new piece of white paper, took out five pencils from the pen holder, sharpened them all with a knife and placed them on the white paper, then took out a ruler and other tools, pondered for a while, and then lay down on the desk and draw.
This time the painting is the technology of central air conditioning, the overall design of the air conditioning factory can be learned by disassembling the imported central air conditioning, there is no need for Chen Xu to bother on this, he only needs to draw the design of the compressor, inverter and air conditioning pipeline.
Chen Xu is accustomed to drawing complex military design drawings, and now he is going back to draw simple civilian design drawings, which is quite fast, and all the key technologies have been copied in less than a morning.
With these drawings, the air-conditioning factory only needs to make parts according to the gourd painting scoop, and can assemble the world's most advanced central air conditioner, of course, after the production of samples, it must immediately apply for an international patent to prevent the technology from being copied.
Under the absolute technical advantage, Panda brand central air conditioning will definitely be able to open the market in China and enter the foreign market. With advanced technology, it means that in energy consumption, quality, workability can be more than a big cut, if foreign manufacturers can not develop the same level of central air conditioning, it is inevitable to be squeezed out of the market.
Looking at the dozen or so design drawings spread on the bed, Chen Xu was satisfied, stretched his waist and looked at the hot world outside the window, and he could hear a sharp cry on the twelfth floor.
The weather is very hot, but the house is cool and comfortable, I don't know when the air conditioner in the bedroom was turned on, Chen Xu was engrossed when he was working, it should be that the family came in and saw him sweating hot and unconscious, so he quietly turned on the air conditioner.
Walking out of the door, lunch has been prepared, Dad and Big Brother have finally woken up, sitting in the living room and feeling sluggish, Grandpa has already walked home, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Big brother, I have drawn the design drawings of the central air conditioner and laid them on the bed, in the afternoon you take them to the comrades in the factory to study, pay attention to the confidentiality of the technology, and at the same time do not forget the application for technical patents." Chen Xu looked at the eldest brother who was slumped on the sofa and watched TV in a daze like mud, and opened his mouth to remind.
"How long is your kid's brain, even the air conditioner can be designed, it was born by a parent, why can't I think of it!" Chen Weiguo has absolute trust in his brother, and he said that if the technical problem of central air conditioning is solved, there must be no problem.
"How do you speak! Xiao Wu is a top student studying in the Soviet Union, if you play around less and read more books back then, you will not be worse than him! Dad sat next to him and slapped his eldest brother's head, laughing and scolding.
"Actually, what I'm best at is doing scientific research, especially designing weapons and equipment, and everything else is just a side job. When I came back this time, I decided to stay at home and design a few weapons to enrich the production line of our factory. Chen Xu waved his fist and said with full fighting spirit.
The grandfather next to him agreed: "That's right, our military factory is now about to become a civilian factory, and there are no decent weapons, so it's not okay to do it like this!" The state keeps us these military factories to manufacture weapons and equipment for the country, and if we don't work this, where will the army come to resist foreign enemies with guns and artillery in the future! ”
"Now everything in the country is giving way to the economy, and the army has to stand aside, and the country will not spend money to buy weapons when we produce weapons. Moreover, engaging in weapon production will occupy the R&D personnel and machinery and equipment in the factory, and other profitable projects will be affected, which is not cost-effective! "The eldest brother is not as capricious as Chen Xu and his grandfather, as the direct person in charge of the military factory, he only thinks about profits. And this is not the meaning of the big brother, it is the embodiment of the collective will of the workers in the whole factory.
In addition to the fact that the air-conditioning production line is not profitable, the manufacturing of CNC machine tools can be said to be the largest source of money in the factory. For the first time in decades, the military factories are living a good life, and the employees of the factories inevitably complain about the production of weapons that is losing money every year, and the factories cannot pay their salaries, and they can only eat steamed buns and pickles every day, and of course they are unwilling. Now that military factories have entered the civilian market, they make money for any project, and everyone can eat meat every day, so it is natural to throw unprofitable military production into the garbage heap.
When the eldest brother said such a thing, even the grumpy grandfather had nothing to refute, the factory was built by him brick by brick, and he was more anxious than anyone else if the factory couldn't make money.
Now that the factory has made a fortune on civilian projects and avoided bankruptcy and bankruptcy, the old man has solved the big stone in his heart. However, the price is indeed that the military industry has fallen into a complete shutdown, which makes him, an old man who is worried about national defense, very worried.
Of course, Chen Xu saw his grandfather's worries, and opened his mouth to justify: "It's not profitable to make munitions, and you don't look at what weapons were made in the factory before, the guns were all developed during World War II, and the tanks were products of the Soviet Union in the fifties, and there were a lot of dumb bullets in the bullets, so how could such a product not be made at a loss!" Big brother, since you think that civilian production comes quickly, then let's compare, anyway, the factory now has a lot of idle workshops, we separate military manufacturing and civilian production, in the future, I will manage the military industry, you will manage the civilian, see who makes more money, and the money is fast! ”
"This is good! It just so happens that I am already exhausted from managing civilian production alone, Xiao Wu, since you like the military industry so much, you can indeed take this business and run it. The eldest brother applauded and praised that now that the country has opened up the market economy and civilian manufacturing is becoming more and more prosperous, the eldest brother is ambitious to develop in this direction and sweep away the depression of the military industry losing money every year for more than ten years.
The topic came to the issue of splitting the business of the machinery factory, and a room full of people were interested, especially the grandfather was particularly interested in it, if his two grandsons could make the factory make money while producing civilian products, and could insist on the research and development of weapons and equipment, both sides were correct, then the factory split was indeed the best plan.
"Since the business has been split, let's simply put aside the name of Jiangnan No. 1 Machinery Factory and re-establish two companies, one is mainly engaged in weapons and equipment manufacturing, and the other is responsible for the research and development of civilian products." Chen Xu's eyes lit up and he put forward a more radical opinion.
Maybe Chen Xu didn't expect that a subconscious idea would become the hardest and most tiring job on his shoulders, and at the same time, it would also achieve his prestige in this era! (To be continued.) )
