Chapter 274 Acquisition of Military Enterprises
Before the Spring Festival, Lu Yang finally waited for Xu Feng's reply, and the Navy decided to cooperate with Lu Yang on the underwater robot project. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Navy experts have evaluated the underwater robot and believe that it can be used as a new model for future naval warfare, and I hope that you can fully cooperate with the military to complete this project." Xu Feng conveyed the views of the General Staff Headquarters.
Lu Yang said: "How do you want me to cooperate?" ”
The implication is that you can't let me pay unilaterally like you did the previous times, right?
Xu Feng's face changed slightly, he could understand Lu Yang's thoughts and practices, after all, the other party was not a soldier, but a businessman, and he paid attention to equivalent exchange. However, as a soldier, he could not accept such behavior.
"Colonel Xu, I think I still have some contributions to the country, and in many ways, I am willing to pay for the country, but this does not mean that I will always pay for nothing. Even according to the most basic business principles, neither the government nor the military has the authority to take these technologies away from me. "Lu Yang is determined to achieve the previous goal this time, and now he has a large amount of funds in his hands, and the various companies of Tianxin Group are on the right track, and he doesn't need to think too much, it is the best time to enter the field of communications and military industry.
Lu Yang is very aware of the state's control in these two areas, and if it had been placed ten years ago, he would never have mentioned it. However, in recent years, there have been calls for opening up some state-monopolized industries, including the telecommunications industry and the military industry. It's just that the affairs of Huaxia have always been complicated, and after several years of discussion, there is still no conclusion on these matters.
Xu Feng said: "Whether you are allowed to enter the communications and military industry is a matter for the government, and we cannot interfere." However, the research of underwater robots is related to national defense issues, and as a Chinese, you have an obligation to fulfill the relevant responsibilities. ”
Lu Yang sneered: "Colonel Xu, do you mean that the state wants to forcibly requisition me?" ”
Xu Feng was silent, but his resolute attitude made Lu Yang feel his answer.
"Sure enough, I can't overestimate your discipline." Lu Yang sneered, "Of course I can fulfill my national defense obligations, but it's really hard to say when I study this kind of thing." For example, the current underwater robot, I just put forward an idea, if everything goes well, this idea can be perfected in three to five days, but it is also possible that because of a certain technical problem, it may last for three or five years, or even ten years...... I can cooperate with your research, but in the meantime, I will need to be paid by you. I don't think the state will let me work for free. ”
Xu Feng heard Lu Yang's threat, but he had no other way, these decisions were not something he could influence.
Facing Lu Yang's inquiry, Xu Feng nodded and said, "Naturally not." ”
"I don't seem to have been paid since I became the boss, but I still make a lot of money every year. Well, I will also consider the difficulties of the country, and you can pay me a third of the money I earn in a year. Lu Yang said generously.
Xu Feng, who has always been calm, couldn't help but change his color, pay your salary according to one-third of your annual income, how much does it have to be? No one can give an accurate figure about how much money Lu Yang makes every year, but roughly estimated, Lu Yang's personal assets were $30 billion in 2009 and $100 billion in 2010, and I don't know how much it has risen this year. If you really pay your salary in Lu Yang's way, I'm afraid that more than half of Huaxia's military expenses will be paid to Lu Yang!
"Why, is there anything unreasonable about what I'm mentioning? The country needs me, I obey the arrangement, I work for the country, I get the salary of the state, this is a matter of course. Lu Yang said.
Seeing Lu Yang's attitude, Xu Feng knew that Lu Yang was really here this time. In the previous few cooperations, Lu Yang had almost no temper, which made some people misjudge his character. This time, Lu Yang's rebound completely exceeded their expectations.
"I'll tell you if you're going." Xu Feng, who has been in contact with Lu Yang for the longest time, knows his character, a typical one who eats soft but not hard. If the military wants to force it, it won't help the whole project at all, even if the impact is not considered.
This time Lu Yang didn't wait long, Xu Feng brought a reply: The country is considering opening up the communications industry, but not now, and Lu Yang has to wait a few more years.
"What about the military industry?" Lu Yang was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but he still wanted to know the final answer.
"Yes, we can cooperate." Xu Feng spit out four words.
"Cooperation?" Lu Yang found this statement quite intriguing, "How to cooperate?" ”
"Similar to the South China Sea Development Company." Xu Feng said.
Lu Yang shook his head without hesitation: "Impossible!" The South China Sea Development Company is an exception, and in all my industries, I have to maintain my controlling position. ”
Lu Yang is telling the truth, except for the companies he invests in, such as JD.com, Ali and Alipay, all the companies under his name are under his control. Whether it is said that he has a strong desire to control, he doesn't know how to run a business now, Lu Yang is this style of doing things. Including the listing of Tianxin Electronics, Lu Yang intends to reduce his shares to less than 50% at the right time, but in terms of the company's voting rights, he must ensure that he has more than 67% of the voting rights, which is why he and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange failed to reach an agreement.
"The state will not allow private capital to take a controlling stake in the military-industrial complex." Xu Feng said.
"That was before, and I'm sure the state will consider it now." Lu Yang did not give an inch, "It has been more than 30 years since the reform is today, and the country's policies are also changing. I believe that the above can also see the benefits of private capital entering the military industry, if it is really not clear, just look at the United States. ”
"I can't decide on this." Xu Feng was silent for a long time.
"Then contact them!" Lu Yang insisted.
At the end of January, during the coldest time in Northeast China, Lu Yang brought people to Ha City, the capital of Heihe Province.
Lu Yang came this time to make an acquisition, an acquisition that could shock everyone.
A few days ago, due to Lu Yang's insistence, Xu Feng contacted the above. The senior leaders had different opinions on Lu Yang's desire to control the military industrial enterprise, and finally decided to let Lu Yang go to Beijing to make a statement in person. Lu Yang made some preparations, and arrived in the capital at noon the next day, and in the face of several leaders at the highest level, he made a final fight.
In the end, he actually succeeded.
Lu Yang's success this time is inseparable from the support of the vice president, as everyone knows, this year is a change of leadership, and it is already a fact that the vice president has come to power. As for the vice president's decision, several other leaders should carefully consider it. And in the previous few projects, Lu Yang's dedication also added points to himself.
After the high-level agreed, everything was easy to do, and Lu Yang took the opportunity to put forward his own goal, wanting to acquire Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Company, a subsidiary of AVIC No. 2 Group.
Lu Yang's request is not bold, you must know that Hafei Manufacturing Company is the backbone of China's aviation industry group, is the research and development base of light bombers and helicopters, and is also a top-ranked company in the military industrial system. As for its works, there are many, H-5, Z-5, Z-9, Y-11 and Y-12, these are the results of Hafei. In addition to aircraft, Hafei is also involved in automobiles, pharmaceutical packaging equipment, as well as many liquefied petroleum gas cylinders for automobiles and cooking, metallurgical equipment and chemical fiber equipment and other more than 200 kinds of industrial products, the products are very rich.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Lu Yang's desire to acquire Hafei, what he values is only Hafei's technical talents and the aircraft industry. In order to be able to win Hafei, Lu Yang also worked hard, transferring all his shares in the South China Sea Development Company to the state, and giving Huangyan Island, which was beginning to take shape, to the state, which is worth more than 60 billion yuan.
After several twists and turns, Lu Yang paid a lot of things, and finally got the consent of the high-level. According to the agreement, Luyang will acquire 60% of the shares of Hafei for 20 billion yuan, and Hafei, which has been established for 60 years, will also be renamed Tianxin Aerospace Company, becoming the largest private aviation equipment manufacturer in China and one of the few private military enterprises in China.
It is difficult to say whether the purchase price of 20 billion yuan is high or low, and it is difficult for the outside world to estimate the value of such an enterprise. However, Lu Yang thinks it's all worth it, although he spent nearly 80 billion in order to complete this acquisition.
After the establishment of Tianxin Aerospace, Lu Yang made adjustments to the original personnel. The original Hafei was very large, with more than 20,000 employees, 3,800 engineers and technicians, and more than 5,000 sets of various equipment, which are the most important places for Luyang. As for other fixed assets, not to mention, there are no 2 billion together, and Lu Yang can't look down on it.
Lu Yang first made personnel adjustments, he appointed himself as the general manager of Tianxin Aerospace Company, and promoted a person from the original Hafei as an assistant, this person is called Wang Hongtao, a native of eastern Guangdong, is an expert in helicopters, has been working in Hafei for more than 20 years, and is highly anticipated.
"All the employees of Hafei, including retired employees, are responsible for all expenses by Tianxin Group." At the staff meeting, Lu Yang's statement stabilized people's hearts.
Regarding Lu Yang's acquisition of Hafei, some older people said that they could not accept it, in their eyes, Hafei is a military industrial enterprise, how can a military industrial enterprise be acquired by a private person? But for others, most of whom are young, motivated and daring, this is good news. They know that Tianxin Group is the world's top high-tech company, and the boss of the group is the richest man in the world.
At the staff meeting, Lu Yang took a series of measures to stabilize people's hearts, and with the assistance of some management such as Wang Hongtao, Lu Yang quickly took control of the company.
"Tianxin Aerospace has two main businesses, one is helicopters and the other is bombers. As for other industries such as automobiles, cut them as soon as possible. After the staff meeting, Lu Yang held a management meeting, at which the company's future development direction was determined.
Lu Yang's decision caused a commotion, and Wang Hongtao asked on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Lu, if you cut the car project, what should you do with the relevant employees?" Although there are not many people in this part, there are thousands of people, and if they are not handled well, the company's morale will be affected. ”
"Don't worry, since I promised to deal with the problems of the employees, I will never break my promise. I plan to establish an automobile production base in Harbin City, and the other employees will be transferred to Tianxin Automobile Company. Lu Yang had obviously thought about it.
When Wang Hongtao and the others heard this, they all had smiles on their faces. Anyway, everyone works in the group, which company is different?
"Also, I would like to say a few more words about the development of helicopters. In the past, Hafei was mainly engaged in military helicopters, and it had strong technical strength and project team, but it could not make money, and then it could only rely on making cars to support itself. Now we are no longer a state-owned enterprise, but a private company, and there are not so many rules and regulations in terms of business methods. Lu Yang looked around, and the people sitting below were all the management of the original Hafei, and it was inevitable that they would not be able to keep up with the changes in their thinking.
"I have communicated with the above, and the country will slowly relax the low-altitude control in the future, which means that my country's private jet market will usher in unprecedented opportunities!" Lu Yang continued, "I heard that the military's helicopter order has been taken away by 602, it doesn't matter, there is no military order, we can't starve to death, we will focus on the production of private helicopters." In the future, our products will not only meet the needs of the domestic market, but also export to foreign countries and become a well-known signboard! (To be continued.) )
