Just when Qin Ran was thinking about how to shorten the construction period, Wang Xuezheng and Jiang Weiguo came together, and Wu Tianming heard the movement and also came over to join in the fun.

Compared with the last time, this time the faces of the two are obviously not very good-looking.

Wang Xuezheng took out two documents from his briefcase, handed them to Qin Ran and said, "The amount of appropriation has been determined, and there is a budget, this is the relevant document, Qin Gong, take a look." ”

Qin Ran took the document, looked through the approval document of the appropriation amount, only glanced at it, and said wrongly: "How did this approve 10 billion?" ”

10 billion, this amount has exceeded Qin Ran's initial budget amount, but it was not carefully calculated at that time, and it also lacked other considerations, so it was not enough to take it for reference.

Then, Qin Ran opened the budget document again, and there was a string of words in it, with a total budget of 13 billion.

This budget is carried out in combination with the drawings, unlike the kind of budget that Qin Ran was more like an estimate at the beginning, so the amount calculated in this budget document is quite accurate, and the error before and after will not exceed three percent.

And this error is mainly reflected in the material, such as steel, the price of each month is up and down.

Therefore, the error of the budget file is negligible and can be used directly.

Having said that, this is not the point, the point is that the budget is 13 billion, the allocation is only 10 billion, and the difference between the two reaches 3 billion, 3 billion, which is not a small amount.

Wu Tianming couldn't help asking: "We reported 19 billion at the beginning, and they really cut it in half!" It's not in order. ”

Wang Xuezheng explained with a dark face: "I heard that Ma Yuan, who is a biological gene, said hello to the approval department in advance. ”

When Wu Tianming heard this, he who had always been smiling at others was also angry at this time: "They deceive people too much. ”

Wang Xuezheng glanced at him, "What, you still want to fight with them?" ”

Although Wang Xuezheng is dissatisfied with the approach of the Institute of Biological Genetics, he also has opinions about Wu Tianming.

Why did you only report 19 billion instead of 29 billion, if you reported 29 billion, even if the opposite side cut in half, it would be enough to spend.

Of course, Wang Xuezheng knew that this was an afterthought, and it was not to blame Wu Tianming for the development of things to this point.

"That's it!" Jiang Weiguo said loudly: "We have to come up with countermeasures now, not infighting." ”

"Can I apply for a supplementary grant? After all, with a budget document, it can be taken out as evidence to prove that 10 billion is really not enough. Qin Ran proposed at this time.

"I'm afraid not!" Wang Xuezheng shook his head helplessly, "If it was before, there would not be much of a problem with additional appropriations, but because of the appearance of the San Francisco monster, the state began to vigorously rectify all biological gene research institutes a few days ago, and accidentally discovered that a small number of people took funds to eat and drink and other embezzlement of public funds, and next, the state will further investigate and deal with all scientific research institutes in the country." At this juncture, if you want to make additional grants, the success rate is very low. ”

Qin Ran was speechless for a moment, when the biological genes were prosperous, it would bring a lot of trouble to the mecha project, but he didn't expect that he would be unlucky now, and he could also cause a lot of trouble.

Before, Qin Ran saw that there was still a little sympathy for biological genetics because of the monsters in San Francisco, but now, the only remaining bit of sympathy is gone.

"Can you get a card on the material?" Wu Tianming made a suggestion.

"What does Director Wu mean by building an inferior mecha?" Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

Wu Tianming smiled embarrassedly, "It's not that the funds are not enough, in the past, the funds were not enough, so they used this method." ”

Qin Ran and the other two glanced at each other, and they all objected: "No! ”

Wang Xuezheng's idea is very simple, once this opening is opened, it will be like the Yellow River flooding out of control, and when the time comes, because of material problems, the mecha will be built into a pile of scrap iron, and he will not be able to explain to the country, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will really have to apologize for his crimes.

Jiang Weiguo's idea is also very simple, he is a soldier, and he hates deception the most.

And the reason why Qin Ran opposed it was because he was worried that if the first mecha failed, then the mecha would have no future.

In the face of the opposition of the three, Wu Tianming did not express his opinion.

"You can't discount the materials, so my proposal is, can you cut some of the mecha's functions, such as the weapon system?" Wang Xuezheng said what he thought.

Perhaps because the [War Vanguard] failed to realize Qin Ran's dream of moving the battery, when designing the [Horizon Warrior], he increased the design of the weapon system, not only designed 10 210mm large-caliber guns, but also added eight Dongfeng A9 missile launchports. If it weren't for the lack of experience in designing a giant mecha for the first time, Qin Ran would still want to install a few more lethal thermal weapons.

Wang Xuezheng now mentioned the reduction of the weapon system, this proposal is not impossible, without hot weapons, and fists, Qin Ran believes that relying on fists, [Horizon Warriors] can also destroy monsters, after all, the monsters that landed in the early stage are only first-order monsters, and their combat power is far inferior to the fourth and fifth orders in the later stage.

"Academician Wang's suggestion can be considered,....." Qin Ran said, turning to the budget document about the cost of the weapon system, and showing it to them: "The calculation of the weapon system is only about 500 million, and this amount cannot make up for the difference of 3 billion." ”

"A little less is a little!" Wang Xuezheng smiled bitterly, "For the rest, I'm thinking of other ways." ”

Jiang Weiguo sighed lightly: "What else can you do?" To pull investment? ”

Wang Xuezheng didn't answer, just nodded lightly.

In fact, everyone present knows that it is very difficult to attract investment, and it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

First, the giant mecha is a national project, which naturally sets up a checkpoint for pulling investment, a national project, and not everyone can get involved.

Second, there is no profit point for giant mechas, and if you want others to invest, you have to ensure that the project can bring profits, but how can giant mechas make profits, do you want to kill a monster and bring it back to sell? It's simply not practical.

These two points alone determine how difficult it is to invest in a giant mecha.

Wu Tianming relieved the two at this time and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get discouraged, maybe Qin Gong has a way?" ”

Hearing Wu Tianming's reminder, Wang Xuezheng and Jiang Weiguo reacted at the same time, yes, the two of them are talking to themselves here, and they haven't asked Qin Ran's opinion yet.

In an instant, including Wu Tianming, the eyes of the three of them were focused on Qin Ran, and their fiery gazes were about to melt it.

"Actually, I really have some ideas!" Qin Ran did not shy away from it, and said directly: "I have two proposals, one is to cut the project of the factory directly, adopt the method of renting, and borrow chickens to lay eggs. Second, we outsource ordinary parts, and we only process precision parts and assemble them at the end. ”

Qin Ran opened his mouth, and the three of them felt that their eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Xuezheng nodded again and again: "The method of leasing is good, the budget for the installation of new plants and equipment exceeds 2 billion, if it is leased, the cost is greatly reduced, only part of the reconstruction can be used, and the parts are outsourced, and we also save part of the cost of equipment installation." It's just that the parts are outsourced, and I don't know if the quality and processing speed can be guaranteed. ”

Jiang Weiguo also opened his mind at this time: "I can help with the outsourcing of parts, Academician Wang is not worried that the parts processed by private and private enterprises can be handed over to our military factory, the quality is not only guaranteed, but the price is also lower than the outside, as long as I ask for approval from above, the leader will definitely agree." ”

Wu Tianming also proposed: "It just so happens that as far as I know, the development of the fifth heavy factory in the south has not been very good in recent years, and I have dealt with the leaders over there a few times, and I am more familiar with it, so I can inquire about whether it can be rented." ”

Qin Ran opened the minds of the three of them in a few words, not that Qin Ran has rich experience in this area, but that the three of them have worked in a unit that starts with the national character all their lives, and their thinking is fixed.

Finally, Wang Xuezheng made a summary, "Although Qin Gong's method cannot completely solve the difference, there is not much left, although the financial pressure is not as great as before, the investment must continue to be strived for, and try to ensure that the weapon system of the mecha is not reduced." ”

Seeing that everyone agreed with his proposal, Qin Ran was also happy, so he half-jokingly said: "Academician Wang, in this way, your work this month is in vain, and there are Wu Gong and Chen Gong..."

Wang Xuezheng waved his hand, not caring at all, "For the sake of the overall situation, what is this sacrifice, as for Wu Gong and Chen Gong, I will explain it in person, besides, the drawings they drew are only temporarily not used, and they are not thrown away, what is there to complain about." ”

Saying that, Wang Xuezheng couldn't wait.

"That's it today, I have to go back and push off the previous plan first, by the way, Director Wu, if you have any news from there, call me immediately, so that I can implement the next step."

"No problem!" Wu Tianming agreed to it.
