Chapter 846: One More Stopper
Before meeting this venerable old general, Chen Geng thought that he could maintain a fairly peaceful state of mind, but when he walked into this quiet courtyard and saw this old general who was sitting on a chair and chatting with an old man next to him, Chen Geng suddenly found that his heart was beating very uncontrollably.

"It's Comrade Xiao Chen, I know you, adults have mentioned you to me a lot, saying that you are a very interesting little guy," Seeing Chen Geng, the old general was immediately happy, and stretched out his hand to beckon Chen Geng to sit down: "Come on, come, sit, sit casually." ”
Chen Geng didn't dare to sit casually, and saluted the old general in a proper manner: "Good chief." ”
"You're good," to Chen Geng's surprise, seeing Chen Geng saluting himself, the old general also stood up, and returned a military salute to Chen Geng with a solemn face, after speaking, the old general was a little embarrassed: "I forgot, you are also a soldier." ”
"Yes, I'm a soldier too." Thinking that he would have to take off this military uniform for more than a year at most, Chen Geng couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
The old general nodded approvingly to Chen Geng: "I've heard all the things you have done for our army over the years, okay, you're a good soldier!" Didn't disgrace our soldiers! ”
Chen Geng didn't expect the old general's evaluation of himself to be so high, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Chief, you praised ...... falsely."
The old general shook his head with a serious face, and said: "This is not a false praise, you have contributed to the country and the people, the country and the people will not forget you, you are still so young, you have made so many contributions to the country, this is even more rare......"
Hearing that the old general spoke so highly of Chen Geng, Mao Donghai's eyes were red with envy: Your old man also praised me, I have also made a lot of contributions to the country, okay?
It's a pity that he only dares to think in his heart, if he really wants to quantify it, his contribution to the country may not be as great as Chen Geng's.
The old general's schedule is very tight, and it is impossible to always chat with Chen Geng, after some encouragement, the old general asked directly: "Comrade Chen Geng, I heard the comrades say that if the state allows you to engage in tobacco trading, you can support the three projects of Xifei and Chengfei?" ”
He didn't ask, "Is the development of the H-8 bomber your suggestion?" Because there is no need for that, the old general asked about this matter, which in itself shows that he already knows the ins and outs of this matter very well.
"To be precise, it is the state that allows us to engage in the entire industrial chain of the tobacco industry, that is, allows us to cooperate with tobacco farmers, tobacco manufacturing and tobacco sales, and gives us a special policy: we are allowed to sell our tobacco in any province and region in the country," Chen Gengzheng said: "If these conditions can be met, I can indeed support these three projects, and I don't need to pay a penny from the state." ”
At this time, even if it is a hard support, it has to be held.
"Really?" The old general stood up suddenly, staring at Chen Geng with a sharp gaze as sharp as a knife: "Comrade Chen Geng, do you understand what you mean by this?" ”
"I understand, you can take this as my military order!" Chen Geng said loudly without hesitation: "If the profits of the tobacco industry are not enough to support these three projects, I will take my annual dividends in Runhua Industry, a lot of it!" ”
The old general was moved!
The old man who was chatting with the old general when Chen Geng came in just now was moved!
Everyone around, including Mao Donghai, was moved!
As a joint-stock enterprise controlled by the East China Military Region, Runhua Industrial has an understanding of the profitability of this company, and the car, truck, motorcycle, and taxi companies are ...... All these businesses add up, even if some businesses are still losing money, but last year, the annual net profit of Runhua Industry is still high and scary!
Naturally, Chen Geng's dividends are also scary!
This is also why there is a voice of "Chen Geng earns too much" above, it is really when everyone is in a precarious time, you guy makes so much money in a year, it's like thunder! Chen Geng had to set up an angel investment fund with his dividends, the "Giant China" Big Four in the telecommunications industry, Inspur, Lenovo, Founder, and Unisplendour...... These domestic high-tech enterprises, all at a critical juncture to seek Chen Geng's support to tide over the difficulties, to put it mildly, these domestic high-tech enterprises can develop so rapidly, Chen Geng's strong financial support is indispensable.
Now Chen Geng said that if the money made from tobacco is not enough, he will use his own private money to fill this hole!
Chen Geng had a hard time saying in his heart: It's broken, it seems that this B is a bit too much!
The tobacco industry doesn't make money? Are you kidding!
The tobacco industry is a profiteering industry, under the current policy, the tobacco industry pays all kinds of taxes and fees equivalent to 43.1% of the retail price, but even with such a high tax load, tobacco is still the absolute profit of various local governments, salt, petrochemical, telecommunications and other industries can not be compared with the tobacco industry at all, a Hongta Group contributed profits and taxes accounted for 49% of the financial revenue of the entire Yunnan @ South Province, what a madness?
To put it mildly, as long as the operation is done properly, the tobacco industry is not making money, but not making a lot of money or losing money, as for those tobacco companies that shout that they lose money every year...... Well, there is a means called financial means, an annual profit of 10 million, and finally it becomes an annual loss of 10 million, so isn't it too much? Nothing out of the ordinary.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Looking at Chen Geng, the old general's eyes were full of brilliance, and he said three times in a row: "Good boy, have guts!" Have a backbone! ”
After a pause, the old general looked at Chen Geng, and said loudly again: "For your kid's guts, what else do you want, you kid say it in one go, my request is one: add another project to you!" As long as you dare to agree to come down, no matter what you ask, I should come down! ”
One more request? Thinking of the old general's title of "Father of the Aircraft Carrier of the Republic", Chen Geng's heart jumped thumping: Could it be ......
Such a great opportunity, you can't afford to miss it. Chen Geng puffed out his chest: "One more project?" No problem! Give me whatever I want, no problem! ”
"Don't you ask what the project is?" Seeing that Chen Geng agreed without hesitation, the old general was a little stunned and asked.
This project was just thought of by himself, he asked himself Chen Geng that it was impossible to know, this kid dared to agree without asking, was he really confident, or was he stupid and bold?
"I've seen a photo," thinking of that photo, Chen Geng's nose suddenly became a little sour: "It's the photo you took when you visited the US aircraft carrier in 1980." ”
What photos? The old general is on tiptoe on the aircraft carrier of the Americans, desperately trying to see a photo of a carrier-based helicopter, and it was also after that that the old general issued the deafening sentence that affected the development of the Republic Navy: If China does not develop aircraft carriers, I will not turn a blind eye!
The old general was stunned for a moment.
He was stunned not because Chen Geng had actually seen the photo, but because he didn't expect Chen Geng to know what he wanted to say, and when he knew what the project he had forced into was, he agreed without saying a word.
All of a sudden, his eyes turned red. Taking a deep breath, the old general asked in a deep voice: "Since you know everything, then you should know that this is a bottomless pit." ”
"Yes, I understand," Chen Geng nodded: "But I don't think it necessarily costs much." ”
"Oh?"
"What I need to do is not to start this project, but to pre-study the key subsystems, technologies and processes in this project and the corresponding supporting equipment, which actually does not cost much money," Chen Geng explained: "I estimate that tens of millions of dollars a year is enough to meet the relevant research expenditures, and we will conduct a strict review of the use of funds by relevant units, and do our best to ensure that there will be no misappropriation and false use of funds, and do our best to ensure the efficiency of the use of funds." ”
"Good boy, clever enough!" The old general smiled and shook his head, too, the time for the Republic to launch an aircraft carrier is indeed not ripe now, and neither the scientific research and technological level, the economic level, nor the industrial level can meet the conditions for launching this project, but although it cannot be launched, it can carry out preliminary research and save time for launching the aircraft after the conditions are met in the future -- it is just some research work, and from this point of view, it does not cost much money, at least it is much less than the brand-new project of the H-8.
"Thank you, Chief, for the compliment." Chen Geng immediately went up the pole and hurriedly said.
The old general nodded with a smile, obviously in a good mood: "Okay, let's talk about your requirements, but let's explain it to you first, don't expect to be able to snatch the hearts of the local government." ”
"Please rest assured," Chen Geng hurriedly said: "I know the severity, there is a municipal tobacco factory in Haizhou, where our group headquarters is located, last year's sales were more than 10 million, and the profit was less than 1 million, just give me this factory." ”
"Such a small factory?" The old general was stunned: "Won't it be too small?" ”
"It's enough, but can the ownership of this factory be compared with that of a central enterprise? I mean, in the future, we will have to pay taxes and fees to the state, and this part of our taxes and fees will be paid directly to the central finance? ”
"Pay directly to the central treasury?" The old general became more and more curious about this kid Chen Geng, how could he think of this layer? Nodding: "Yes." ”
"Second, after this factory is given to us, can you give us a 5+3 profit and tax reduction policy?" Chen Geng's face was shy, and the lion opened his mouth: If you don't catch the opportunity, it will be invalid if it expires.
