Chapter 652: Sales
This test is only a test in the factory area, which is relatively hidden, and it doesn't matter if you run, and it is a basic test, and you won't be able to shoot or anything like that. But it can really make Brother Su Ya show his face among the generals, at first he only knew that this was the director of the factory, who had just returned from the army, but now after this experience of driving a tank, he came out and brushed his face.
Soon the experience of the work was completed, everyone also went to the conference room together, the next is the most important part of today, that is, to make a report and negotiate the price, the factory calculated the cost of about 2.8 million, in the future with the progress of production, there will definitely be some price reduction, but the final selling price will be, it depends on the quotation given today, although the factory has increased the price of production costs to three million.
When I arrived at the conference room, Li Zhao first made a report, telling everyone in detail about the various situations of the tank, and made a report on the future development direction, saying that these are in order to get the support of the military in the follow-up development, without their support, these development directions are useless no matter how good they are.
For example, in the current situation, the quotation is too expensive, and the purchase volume given now is only 50 vehicles per year, which is too small compared to the factory's annual production capacity of 1,000 vehicles. Seriously, the annual output of 1,000 is actually not much, 60 years later, the main battle tank, as long as the country is willing, in fact, the annual output of tens of thousands is a small meaning, but there is no need for so much, think about the ability to build warships, you should understand that building tanks is really a small meaning.
Just like the current 998 factory, without affecting the production capacity of other parts, it can now produce at least a few hundred vehicles per year, slightly affected, the annual output of 1,000 vehicles is basically no problem, and if it is fully produced, the annual output of 3,000 vehicles is not impossible to complete, just depending on how many orders, the production capacity is absolutely enough.
After listening to Li Zhao's report, everyone already knew the situation of the tank, but for the number of orders, there was really no way, only fifty vehicles, mainly too expensive, at this time, Wujiu, only 800,000 each, the current new tank, basically four times the price of the original tank, and Wujiu is not a very backward product in this era, especially in the case of replacing new armor and artillery.
However, now that we have a new choice, it is also a good thing, after all, Wujiu is not lagging behind in this era, it does not mean that it will not lag behind in 10 years or even 50 years, and according to the original history, Wujiu is also the main equipment of many troops in the 21 st century, and it will take a long time to change equipment.
And now the 998 factory of this tank is completely different, the biggest advantage of this tank is that the transformation potential is huge, after all, the block and defense capability are on top here, as long as it is equipped, it can be continuously improved, it can be said that it can be used for half a century, changed for half a century, then it can still reach a relatively advanced level.
For example, in the next ten or twenty years, as long as the engine is replaced with 1,500 horsepower, then the speed can immediately reach more than 60, as long as the composite armor and reactive armor are more advanced, they can also be replaced quickly, and the electronic system, as long as it is advanced, the electronic system can be upgraded by direct replacement. Li Zhao can come from sixty years later, and for the modular thinking after sixty years, he can't be more familiar.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Zhao's report, several generals began to discuss, Li Zhao's description of the development direction and various future transformation plans are too tempting, especially Li Zhao's idea of using it for fifty years, it is too much in line with their appetite, buying such a tank, as long as it is repaired and transformed, it can basically be guaranteed to be relatively advanced all the time, and any new technology can basically be installed.
After some discussion, I saw one of the generals and said: "It is difficult to change much in the number of purchases, our military expenditure is very small, but 7.3 billion, and we will continue to purchase 59, after all, there are many scenarios where your tank is not applicable, but we can make concessions in terms of pricing, the cost you quoted is 3 million, the original plan was to quote 3.1 million to you, and now you can give 100,000 more."
When Li Zhao heard this, he was also helpless, good guy, only 3.2 million, plus the concealment, the profit is only 400,000, 50 units per year, the profit is 20 million, fortunately, this profit is not
With the handover, all of them can be used for research, there are 20 million, which can almost meet the needs of research, and at most the factory will subsidize a part.
Li Zhao looked at Father Su at this time, this matter needs him to make a decision, Father Su said after a deep sigh, "We have no opinion on this price, but can the military allocate us a research fund?" We now have to ask our superiors for our current weapons research, and we can't explain it if we spend too much, just like tanks, the amount of money we are ready to invest every year is estimated to be no less than 30 million, and you only gave us 10 million profits."
Gao, Li Zhao gave Father Su a thumbs up directly in his heart, you said 3.2 million then 3.2 million, enough to save face, it's just that I spent a bit a lot of money on this research, you don't support a little bit of it, right? Then the backhand was ready to ask for 20 million, so calculated, it is equivalent to saying that a car asked for a profit of 600,000. If the military doesn't give it at this time, it will be a bit of a face-saving thing, and you have to give a little bit, otherwise it won't look good.
Sure enough, with Father Su's words, several generals smiled bitterly directly, and one of them said directly: "Director Su, you really want money, 20 million is just a thought, you also know our current situation, the military expenditure is only 7.3 billion, we still need to expand the army, you are from a logistics background, you also know our situation, we have a lot of vegetables, meat, are planted and bred by the soldiers themselves, at most you will be given 10 million research funds."
Having said that, Father Su is embarrassed to say anything more, but this price is also very good, which is equivalent to a profit of 600,000 yuan, and 30 million research funds per year is basically enough for current use. Su's father then directly agreed, and the content of the subsequent meeting was the time to sell the drone, and Su's father played some videos of the drone attack during training, many of which were taken from the perspective of the drone.
Although UAVs have been mass-produced, they have not yet been adopted on a large scale, and the reason is very simple, the same is too expensive, the UAV itself is not expensive, but the UAV command system is expensive, and because the electronic system is very rubbish, the number of simultaneous command of a set of systems is also very limited, and I don't know whether it is good or not in actual combat. In this case, there are really not many orders in the factory, and this time I have the opportunity to sell it.
Soon after the video was played, Su's father took a group of people to visit the production workshop of the drone, there are also not many workers here, there is no way, there are too few orders, and there are too many workers to support them.
After watching the production, the time was almost noon, and after inviting everyone to eat a fairly sumptuous reception meal, Division Commander Zhang went directly to the barracks with a group of visitors, ready to let them actually experience the actual combat effect of the UAV.
Looking at the people in the distance, Li Zhao said to Su's father: "I don't know if I can get the order this time, if I don't get the order, our drone project will be discontinued, not much, it would be good to have tens of thousands of orders every year."
Although some troops have taken training models, there are not many purchases of unmanned attack aircraft themselves, and when they are produced in factories, they can complete the demand for a year in one or two months, and they can't be produced for a few months and then rest for more than half a year, right? In this way, there is no way to ensure the regular production and operation of the workshop in the factory, and there are too few orders.
Father Su also said helplessly at this time: "It is estimated that it is more difficult, and now many troops have obtained training aircraft, but so far the orders have not increased much, you should understand the current situation, the military expenditure is too small, which army does not want to purchase some good equipment?" It's just that they don't have that much money at all, and now they basically have funds, and the first thing they want to purchase must be equipment such as tanks, where would they think of drones."
Li Zhao was also helpless when he heard it, this era is like this, the steel torrent can only reflect the strength of the troops, drones or something, it is basically synonymous with bells and whistles, especially a device that has not been tested in actual combat, where will there be equipment such as tanks attractive? It's just that this time the sales pitch has to be carried out, and there are too few orders for drones in the factory to support many workers at all.
Li Zhao transferred Brother Su Ya back, and in the current situation, I am really sorry for him, with the current number of orders, he can only feed a few hundred people, after all, there are so many people, and the current orders can be produced
It's more than enough, and having more people will just leave the workers idle, which is not a good thing.
Thinking of this, Li Zhao said: "Otherwise, we will still match the personnel in the factory, but in order not to let them be idle, it is better to pick up their military training, and also divide them into four classes, one shift will work every day, and the other three classes will be engaged in military training, so that the number of workers can be maintained."
