Chapter 677: Afraid of wolves and tigers
A machine factory, a big business, and a lot of things to do.
At the beginning, the biggest investment is the self-developed tank diesel engine, after several years of research and development, now finally won the national recognition, in the future, this project will be a key project of national investment, all with the country's investment, naturally do not need a machine factory to spend money.
However, if you think that this is the case, a machine factory is a thorough profit unit, that is not right, lying on their own past to eat the old book, one day will eat the end, only continuous research and development.
Moreover, for now, the army's orders are still insufficient, so a machine factory must continue to sell tanks, not only the 69 tanks on hand now, but also new products, foreign trade tanks that can compete with tanks such as T-72, is the highlight of a machine factory.
A machine factory has developed its own storm tanks, these tanks are in the test, if the performance can not meet the needs of users, it still needs continuous improvement, these are burning money.
In addition to foreign trade tanks, there is also an automobile branch that is planned to be launched this year, and the determination of a machine factory to convert military to civilian will not change, and a machine factory must also have its own car factory! And these, the state will not invest money, after all, the systems are different, the military industry and the road transport department are two systems, the introduction of the Steyr automobile project, there is no part of a machine factory, it is because of the difference in the system.
Therefore, a machine factory can only invest its own funds, the initial plant construction, it will cost a lot of money, these are all gold swallowing beasts, the profits of a machine factory to offset the profits, and even, a machine factory has to borrow.
In order to avoid the rupture of cash flow leading to various problems in a machine factory, Qin Zhenhua borrowed a large amount of money from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Qin Zhenhua thought so.
In short, the No. 1 Machine Factory does not have the funds to invest in such a project that cannot be hit by eight poles, that is to say, if the No. 2 Machine Factory wants to keep the 120-mm gun project, then the No. 2 Machine Factory must invest its own funds.
Over the years, although the country's economy is in transition, the second machine factory is making artillery, not vehicles, so their business has not been greatly affected, they still have a surplus, and now, it depends on whether they can come up with such courage.
In fact, Qin Zhenhua is looking forward to it.
Although in China, the 120 mm caliber tank gun was vetoed, and the 125 mm tank gun was finally chosen in China, but in the world, the 120 mm caliber is still the mainstream, so if this tank gun can be retained, it can not only be used for its own use, but also for export.
Speaking of exports, of course, it has a lot to do with the first machine factory, and the first machine factory does not make artillery, so it can only be taken from the second machine factory, a qualified tank gun, that is how many times it takes to test the gun to be determined, the test gun, that is real money, every shot, thousands of dollars are gone.
"It's all up to us to invest in it?" Xie Huimin's eyes were a little hesitant: "In this case, then we have to invest a lot of money, if the project fails, what should we do?" ”
Not everyone has Qin Zhenhua's determination, this project is full of expectations from their second machine factory, but if this project is self-developed, it will even cost the first machine factory to develop the chassis, which is too big, so Xie Huimin is hesitant at this time.
"I'm afraid of wolves in the past, I'm afraid of tigers in the back, that's not a big deal, if we think the same way in a machine factory, then we have a machine factory, I'm afraid there is nothing now." Qin Zhenhua said: "Lao Xie, this matter is very important, you Second Machine Factory, or think about it yourself, in short, since you have identified one thing, you are not afraid of any effort, and work hard." If you work hard, you may not gain again, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely gain nothing. ”
Qin Zhenhua said, he was about to put away his drawings, Xie Huimin was there, still pondering, that's right, now that the country has begun to reform, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, then he can't do anything, he must be determined!
"Besides, what about the technology of our machine factory, you see, which project is yellow for our self-funded research and development now?"
This sentence is true, a machine factory dares to raise funds for research and development, and a few years have been confirmed, their vision is relatively unique, every time they make up their minds to invest in something, there will be results in the end, now, this project plan, since Qin Zhenhua has been prepared, even the semi-automatic loader has been designed, so what else is there to say?
Let's go!
"Well, we want this project from the second machine factory!" Xie Huimin said: "This time, I will go out and do it once!" ”
"Okay, then I wish us a smooth cooperation in advance." Qin Zhenhua said: "We are a machine factory, and we are willing to stick a knife in the ribs of our brother unit, and in the future, this project will definitely become an iron fist of the army!" ”
In this way, another project was decided, when this project first started, not many people were optimistic, after all, the general situation is still that the army issued a research and development plan, and each design institute and so on competed, and after getting it, the army invested in research and development.
To say that self-raised funds to engage in research and development, and after it is completed, and fantasize that the army can be installed, it is a fool's dream! If it has not been approved by the army, will the army look at it?
"We want to win the order of the army in the end, relying on absolute strength." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now, the strength of the army's anti-tank is still not strong enough, you say, if this tank gun is increased in length, can the armor-piercing ability continue to increase?" ”
Now, the main force of the army is still the 105-mm tank gun, how strong is the performance of this tank gun? It has not yet been tested in practice, and the 120-mm tank gun, whose performance far exceeds that of the 105-mm gun, is definitely liked by the army.
The research and development of the 125 mm tank gun cannot be achieved all at once, and this 120 mm tank gun is already finalized.
Can you lengthen the barrel to make it more powerful?
"Yes, let's just increase it a little longer to 52 times the caliber!" Xie Huimin said: "Let the army see, they need our 120-mm anti-tank guns!" ”
From a tank gun, to an anti-tank gun, no matter what it is called, in short, as long as it can be loaded on a combat vehicle, it is enough!
