Chapter 110: Returning home
If it was a few years ago, the exchange ratio between RMB and US dollar was actually not high. In 1980, 1 U.S. dollar was exchanged for 1.49 yuan, but now? Now it has risen to 1 US dollar to 3.45 yuan, which has doubled, and the price written by the party was originally the price of export foreign trade, so that it can be converted into US dollars, which is equivalent to increasing the price several times.
Doing business, especially the arms business, of course, must be profitable, Qin Zhenhua didn't feel that he was a profiteer or anything, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, buying and selling arms, it has always been like this, you don't see the French knife, that is called a sharp.
Qin Zhenhua doesn't have any burden in his heart, the factory here doesn't seem to be very profitable, and this kind of long-range rocket artillery is not favored by the two warring countries, so since there are customers, of course they have to make a lot of money.
Besides, why can the weapons of the great powers of the East be exported only cheaply? We also have technology, we can also sell at a high price, without the support of a high price, there is no continuous investment in research and development, then it is impossible to form a virtuous circle, if you sell at cost price, don't think about that kind of good thing.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the beginning of 1987, and the entire grassland city is a world covered in silver, and the entire north of the eastern power is also a scene of thousands of miles of ice and snow.
And in the midst of this scene, an army column is moving on the land of the motherland.
In the carriage, the boiler was burning, and it was very warm, and at this time, the eyes of the crowd were full of excitement.
It's finally back!
This time abroad, the time is long, in the time of working abroad, I miss the motherland all the time, and now, I am finally back!
Wu Qing's hand touched the glass, wanting to touch the outside world, but then, there was a cold chill in his hand, and he suddenly felt nervous, and quickly used his mouth to breathe on his fingers.
"Wuqing, you don't look like a child who grew up in the north and still makes this kind of mistake." Wang Xiaoyu's voice came, this is not an accusation, but a ridicule that only close friends can have.
Although the carriage is very hot, it is very cold outside, and the window is single-glazed, so the window is cold outside, and you don't see that it is beginning to freeze? The moment your fingers touch, the sweat on the surface freezes, sticking your hand to the glass.
Fortunately, it was in the carriage, if it was outside, it would have to be torn off and even the belt meat, as a native of the grassland city in the north, he didn't even understand this truth?
Wu Qing shook his head helplessly: "Yes, I almost forgot the cold in our north, by the way, sister-in-law, do you want to be on National Day?" ”
Kids.
Before going abroad, the child was only a few months old, but when he went back this time, what did the child look like?
If you want to say that you don't want to, that's fake, and now, Wang Xiaoyu can't wait to go home to see the National Day immediately. It's just that you still have to arrange all kinds of things first.
"It's a big country in the East, it's a big place, it's really good, we came from the capital and saw a different scene, it's a great country." At this time, there were also several people in the carriage, who were communicating in English.
It was Dr. Wright who spoke, and as the designer of the M1 tank, this was the first time he had set foot on the land of a great eastern country, and he was also excited.
Next to him, Thomas also sighed: "Yes, the area is vast, all kinds of terrain is complex, there are plateaus, flat land, there are rivers crisscrossed, such a country, the need for tanks, adaptability is also very strong, I think, our light tanks, here is also a big market." ”
Although he did not come to sell his own light tanks this time, this did not prevent Thomas from being obsessed, and if he could export to this country, the market prospects were already very good.
They came for the Jaguar tank project, and on this military train, on a special flatbed truck in the back, wrapped in a thick tarpaulin, there was the Jaguar 1 tank that they had completed assembling in the United States, and now, it was going to be transported here for testing.
This is a matter of the Cadillac company, and it has nothing to do with Dr. Wright, however, this project is led by Dr. Wright, when the international defense exhibition of the eastern powers, the performance of the 85 tank was vividly displayed, he was also tempted, so he deliberately followed over to see how far the tank industry of the eastern powers has developed.
In the United States, they have the impression that it is still a dilapidated and decaying agricultural country, after all, for decades, the American media has been propagandizing in this way, and even weaker propaganda than India.
As for Thomas, although he is also in charge of the Jaguar project, but, after all, he is an executive of the Gage company, and he will not stay in the eastern country for a long time for this one thing, and test the Jaguar tank together, after he has visited here, he will go to a country on the southern border of the eastern power, that country is very interested in their light tanks at the international defense exhibition, and now, nine times out of ten, it is expected that the order will exceed hundreds of vehicles, and the first customer of their company's products is naturally quite important.
And now, looking out the window, everyone has their own thoughts, and Thomas and Dr. Wright have begun to turn the discussion to tanks.
"In this complex and changeable climate and environment, gas turbines are the most suitable." Dr. Wright said: "I look at the weather forecast, the temperature here will reach minus 30 degrees at night!" This is minus 30 degrees, can the 8V-92TA 8-cylinder diesel engine on the Jaguar tank be successfully started in this climate? ”
Prairie City, in the coldest season, they are coming, can the diesel engine in their hands be successfully started in such extremely cold conditions?
It's better to have a gas turbine, and I don't care how cold or hot it is outside! As a staunch admirer of gas turbines, he found here objective facts to support him.
Thomas spread his hands: "How to start, it's not for me to be responsible, the big eastern country's own vehicles can still be started in such weather, how they start, how ours starts, besides, we don't use this as a selling point, our potential customers, few have the need to use it in this cold weather." ”
Cold boot? People seem to pay more attention to whether the tank is air-conditioned, right?
Dr. Wright smiled, he was also clear about the character of this old friend, and if he encountered something that could not be solved, he would push it away, which was so reasonable.
In this cheerful atmosphere, the train drove into the exclusive station of a machine factory.
