Chapter 365: I'll Give You an Aviation Factory
In the afternoon, Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei drove home.
In the second interview with Brown, Li Lu did not be polite to this old nigga, straightforwardly put forward the requirements and conditions, and did not give him a second choice, either agree or get out. Brown, who had already received clear instructions from the company's top management, agreed to all of them.
Preliminary cooperation intentions have been reached, including the construction of regional wireless communication networks, as well as the transfer of designated technologies and the training of personnel. Next, Brown's team will conduct a more detailed survey of the three stations on this side of the provincial capital, and then go to the dry port to survey the base camp.
Li Lu was still reluctant to give up Motorola, because the company developed analog communication technology in 1973, which is also known as the big brother - mobile phones.
He only remembered this, thinking that the digital cellular system was made by Motorola, but in fact, this memory of his was wrong, but it did not prevent him from solving the original intention of solving the current communication problem.
Choosing to drive back to the dry port is the best plan, the train and shuttle bus are too slow, and Li Lu can't get a plane ticket for the day at all - the flight from the provincial capital to the dry port is only once a week, and it happens not to be this day.
Of course, Li Lu did not forget to explain to Guo Hanwei, and took out most of the off-road vehicles, commercial vehicles, and sedans that could be drawn out of the Red Five-Star Pavilion and sent them to the logistics department of the military region. Simply, Guo Hanwei, in the name of the general manager of the Yangcheng branch of the Red Star Automobile Sales Company and the deputy general manager of the Fenyuan Company, got in touch with the logistics department of the military region to carry out a military-civilian joint construction activity, and held a donation ceremony through the activity to donate more than 20 vehicles.
The market value of these cars is 10 million yuan, which is undoubtedly a generous gift from Li Lu to the troops.
At the very least, the heads of the military region have a very good impression of the Red Star Company, which is extremely helpful for the future, especially in the Red Star Defense Company, under the premise that the revitalization company holds the second most shares.
Li Lu drove 300 kilometers in one go, and it only took three and a half hours, which is almost the top speed that can be run under the current road conditions, and then changed to Zhang Weiwei, and spent four hours to run the remaining 300 kilometers and returned to the dry port.
The Red Star Land Cruiser is a double fuel tank configuration, which is the best choice for long-distance running, with a very low failure rate, strong customs clearance, comfortable ride, and enough space. This kind of car is believed to be the main long-distance commuter vehicle of Red Star Company for a long time.
It's just that Li Lu still likes his diesel version of the LC80 the most, and it is also the only LC80 that has not been replaced with a five-star standard, so it has not been renamed the Red Star Land Cruiser, but Li Lu's LC80 does not have any car logo, which has become one of the logos of his car.
It was already after dinner when he returned to Lugang, and Li Lu didn't even have time to go home after dinner, but plunged into the Red Star Factory and immediately met with Yao Taihang.
He knew that the old man couldn't wait.
"Old Yao, I'll bring back good news." In the big office of the research building, Li Lu met Yao Taihang and Ma Jintao, the two chatted together, and they actually met at a meeting.
Yao Taihang said with a cold face, "It's better to have good news, otherwise I'll pack up and go back to Shanghai immediately." ”
He wasn't a threat, he was real.
Because after he arrived at Lugang and saw the Red Star Factory, he was so angry that he was dizzy on the spot - this is what Li Lu said about the factory with a certain R&D foundation?
Isn't this just a tractor factory?
Fortunately, Ma Jintao was there, otherwise Yao Taihang would definitely turn around and leave on the spot.
After visiting the two automated production lines that were put into operation, Yao Taihang's anger slowly disappeared. He knew that no factory in China had such advanced equipment. The parts of the automated production line are assembled into tractors in the final process, giving a magical look.
What surprised him the most was that the second production line was actually assembling cars!
This is not ordinary!
Regardless of the fact that there are only a few factories that can produce automobiles now, the only one that produces automobiles with automated production lines is the Red Star Factory. It's just that Yao Taihang also saw some clues at that time - it seems that only the assembly part is running, where did those parts come from?
Ma Jintao, who took him on a tour, didn't say, and he didn't ask, but there have been some improvements to the technical strength of the Red Star Factory, and there is Ma Jintao, a master in the field of material research, so why do he have to wait for Li Lu to return.
It's no wonder that Yao Taihang feels deceived, because the Red Star Factory is completely blank in the research and development of aero engines, and there is not even basic equipment.
Li Lu hurriedly said, "Old Yao, I definitely didn't deceive you. I believe you have also seen that the foundation of the Red Star Factory in aviation development research is blank. ”
"You comrade, very dishonest!" Yao Taihang glared angrily.
Ma Jintao smiled, "Old Yao, just listen to him." ”
"Tell me, what good news." Ma Jintao's face must be given, Yao Taihang knows very well how important the material process is to Hangfa, and Ma Jintao will be a very important helper.
Li Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "Old Yao, you pull out a list of the equipment you need, and I promise to get it for you within three months." ”
"Three months?" Yao Taihang glared again.
Ma Jintao coughed and explained, "Yao Lao, the equipment that Xiao Li said refers to imported equipment, domestic equipment is very easy, he is the general manager of Red Star Defense Company, send an intention to go out, and domestic factories will rush to supply." ”
"Imported equipment? American or Japanese? Yao Taihang's tone suddenly improved a lot, this old man is absolutely only aware of equipment and not people.
Li Lu said confidently, "You can pick at will, or I will find you a catalog of world-leading technology-level equipment, and you will follow the list." 100% I can't say it, I can still buy most of them. ”
This is not a boast of Haikou, he has a good relationship with so many Western arms companies, and it is not difficult to buy it back. This is the benefit of the circumstances of this era – when the United States is close, it is even less likely that European countries will give up trade opportunities.
Even in the sixties and seventies, the British dared to risk offending the United States and sold Trident airliners to the Chinese. Moreover, among the NATO countries, the first to sell aero engines to China was the British!
In February 1972, Nixon visited China, and at the end of that year, the British government couldn't wait to sell Spey engines to Huaxia!
This is almost ten years earlier than the official launch of technical cooperation between the United States and China in the field of aviation!
Facts have proved that as long as there is a leak, the little brothers behind the United States can't wait more than their big brothers - as long as there is money to be made!
European countries basically have no worries about arms sales to China, because they are very sure that China cannot cross more than 10,000 kilometers to threaten them.
Under such circumstances, as long as Li Lu waved the dollar to make a purchase, not counting American companies, companies from European countries would flock to Franklin smell.
This is an era where if you can't solve problems with dollars, then use more dollars.
Ma Jintao said to Yao Taihang with certainty, "Yao Lao, Xiao Li is telling the truth, you have also seen the equipment of our materials laboratory, which is at the world's advanced level." ”
Nodding slowly, Yao Taihang began to be a little excited, but still asked very calmly, "What about manpower?" These people I brought with me alone can't support the S-7 project, let alone the big Y10 project. ”
"The focus is on the S-7 project." Li Lu said solemnly, "Old Yao, within a month, I will give you an aviation factory." ”
"What?"
Li Lu repeated, "I'll give you all the people of an aero engine factory." ”
