Chapter 82: It's Kind of Interesting!
Wang Ye's voice, with the help of a loudspeaker, echoed throughout the sky, accompanied by a melody of the cheerful welcome march.
On the viewing platform, hearing Wang Ye's pretentious voice, everyone's expressions were different, which was wonderful.
I saw that the old man Wei Qingshan slapped the table directly, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh while patting, while the old man Zhou Jinlie next to him was shocked with a crying and laughing face, and then began to pinch his brows and smile bitterly, as for Director Liang, who was sitting with him, he covered his face and turned his head, with an expression that he couldn't look directly.
As for the other escorts, some were surprised, some were stunned, some were smiling, and some were smiling all over their faces.
If Wang Ye just staged a small-scale military parade, and even took out the weapons in the machinery factory's inventory in violation of regulations and displayed them on display, these people present would not have been so out of shape, but it was really the two banners held by the four young people opposite, plus the gas canisters from the factory, which made everyone directly can't help but laugh, this is simply ridiculous!
Forget about the fire parade, the first one to appear is the gas canister, who can stand it!
Meanwhile.
Just as Wang Ye was introducing, the first phalanx had approached the viewing platform, and I saw that they were all naked with their arms, and their knotted muscles looked particularly masculine, which perfectly illustrated that our workers have strength, and each of them carried a gas canister and strode by like a strong man.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the stage restrained their expressions and saluted at the "soldiers" in the audience.
"Leader, chief, come on!"
At this moment, Wang Ye handed the microphone in his hand to the two leaders, the old man Zhou Jinlie was stunned for a moment, and the old man Wei Qingshan next to him reacted instantly, stood up directly, waved his hand and shouted:
"Hello comrades!"
At this moment, the phalanx has come to the viewing platform, the sound of "saluting" sounded, and the sturdy workers carrying gas canisters turned their heads to look at the viewing platform, which is called the attention salute.
And with the voice of the old man Wei Qingshan, in an instant, thirty strong men shouted with full anger:
"Hello Chief!"
Then the old man Wei Qingshan pushed the microphone in front of the old man Zhou Jinlie, and the old man Zhou Jinlie, who had already stood up, hurriedly shouted:
"Comrades have worked hard!"
In an instant, the thirty sturdy workers carrying gas canisters shouted again:
"Serve the people!"
This time, Wang Ye didn't use the microphone directly, and shouted at the top of his voice with a loudspeaker:
"Passing by the phalanx of the viewing platform, they are holding our Red Star Machinery Factory's star product heavy fire extinguishing mortar, this type of fire extinguishing mortar is low cost, simple assembly, convenient launch, effective range can reach one kilometer, fire extinguishing radius of two hundred meters."
"At present, it has earned 4.4 million US dollars for the country, with remarkable fire extinguishing effects, good customer experience, and a good reputation in Africa."
"It is the fist product of our Red Star Machinery Factory to open up foreign markets!"
At this moment, I saw two old men standing there, watching the phalanx below go away.
And the staff of the Ministry of Defense of the Fifth Aircraft Department who accompanied them, if they hadn't undergone special training, hearing Wang Ye's serious voice and looking at the picture in front of them, I am afraid they would have been unable to hold back their laughter.
"Immediately behind the phalanx of heavy firefighting mortars is our long-range agricultural rain-enhancing firefighting dual-purpose rocket artillery phalanx."
"They hold their heads high, their steps are vigorous, their eyes are firm, they aim at agricultural development and forest protection and fire prevention in the new era, and they use the equipment in their hands to protect the safety of national forestry resources and property, and promote the steady development of agricultural resources of the motherland!"
With Wang Ye's voice, the second phalanx came over, originally Wang Ye's plan was to use the launch rack to load steel tube rockets, so that a unit of forty rounds looked stronger, but the machinery factory had no vehicles that could be carried, so it had to give up.
So at this moment, in everyone's sight, thirty strong men came over, each carrying a steel tube rocket on their shoulders, which looked like a wild one!
"They are passing through the phalanx of the viewing platform, and they are carrying the new star product of the Red Star Machinery Factory to earn foreign exchange, the long-range agricultural rain enhancement fire extinguishing dual-purpose rocket, which fills the shortcomings of the short range of the heavy fire extinguishing mortar, and at the same time creates a new classification of domestic rain enhancement rockets as agricultural equipment."
"It has an effective range of 15 kilometers, a simple launch method, electric and fire, can be launched in a single launch, can also be launched in a group, and can be equipped with a variety of fire-fighting warheads and rain-enhancing warheads to achieve different operational purposes."
"At present, the product has received an order of up to 2 million US dollars from Tanzania, and it will be delivered soon."
"In the future, it will become the backbone of foreign exchange earnings!"
If the people on the viewing platform just now still felt a little funny and couldn't help but want to laugh, but now they have completely calmed down, and some even can't help but show envious looks!
Especially those of the staff of the Fifth Machine Department and the Ministry of Defense!
After all, the cost of these things in the past was insignificant to the naked eye, but the foreign exchange set was an astonishing sky-high price, even for these cadres and staff of the ministry, it was a rather huge number!
"Tut-tut!"
"I'm convinced that the business has done its part!"
"Why don't we sell gas canisters too!"
"Earn more money than selling tanks!"
Taking advantage of the gap, the old man Wei Qingshan couldn't help but say with emotion to the old man Zhou Jinlie next to him, although the old man Wei Qingshan said that selling gas canisters is better than selling tanks to make money, which is indeed an exaggeration, but in a sense, it is also a real problem.
At present, the most exported tanks in China are mainly based on the Type 59 tank, and the Type 69 tank has been upgraded through transformation, and the selling price of this tank in the international market is now like Tanzania, the same customer as the Red Star Machinery Factory, and the price is only a little more than one million US dollars!
In other words.
Wang Ye's side sells a thousand gas canisters for $400,000, while the Ministry of Defense and the Fifth Machinery Department earn just over $1 million from selling a tank!
In this comparison, you can find an obvious problem, that is, the profit of the tank is actually not high, and it can even be said to be very, very meager, after all, if you want to produce a tank, at least you have to consume thirty or forty tons of steel, not to mention other equipment, the cost is higher!
Of course, there are three main reasons why the tanks exported by China are so cheap.
On the one hand, the technology is not advanced, the performance of the tank is not too strong, the second is that there are few countries to buy, so it can only be sold cheaply and at a reduced price, and the third is to maintain the domestic tank production line, as long as the price does not lose money, then you can buy!
Even if you lose money, you have to sell it!
Otherwise, if the domestic troops do not purchase tanks, or if they purchase fewer tanks, will they let Baotou No. 2 Machine and Luotuo No. 1 Factory go out of business? If these two go out of business and a war breaks out suddenly, then who will produce the tanks?
After all, the production line is stopped, the equipment will be aged, the aging will be scrapped, the workers will be transferred, the transfer will be rusty, the upstream and downstream industrial chain will be transformed, and it will be difficult to turn back after the transformation, and when you want to start production again, there will be nothing!
But on the other hand, the machine factory is here.
Whether it is a gas tank or a steel tube rocket, the cost is quite small, but it can be sold at such a terrifying price, and the profit margin is amazingly high!
"Not really!"
"It's a pity that this business is too clever to promote it!"
"Otherwise, aren't we going to get rich?"
Regarding the old man Wei Qingshan's statement, the old man Zhou Jinlie nodded in agreement, and said with emotion at the same time.
Just as the two of them were talking, the third phalanx also came over, and generally speaking, the third phalanx is also the most normal and serious phalanx that has appeared at present, because there are thirty of them, each holding a three-piece set of special fire grenades.
However, these grenade launchers were all sprayed into the red commonly used in firefighting equipment by Wang Ye overnight last night, and they were also painted with neat white stripes, without the fierce sense of oppression of weapons.
"Next, our finale phalanx will appear, and they are equipped with the most high-end, complex and expensive firefighting equipment in our machinery factory at present!"
"They are the phalanx of forest fire patrol aircraft!"
With the sound of Wang Ye's roar, the door of the workshop slowly opened again, and in everyone's surprised and stunned eyes, I saw one after another gyroplanes, accompanied by the roar of the engine, like an elephant walking, slowly driving out of the workshop!
At that moment, everyone on the viewing platform involuntarily stood up!
Director Liang, who knew the machinery factory best, looked at the helicopter-like rotorcraft that came out, his eyes flashed and his eyes were horrified, he didn't know when Wang Ye secretly came up with this thing!
But in the next second, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
"That line! Motorcycle production line! ”
"Wang Ye actually used the engine of a motorcycle to create an airplane?"
When this thought flashed, Director Liang felt like a drowning person was rescued, and couldn't help but swallow the air, because this scene was completely beyond his imagination!
After all, Director Liang of that production line knows very well that it can only produce ordinary motorcycle engines, and between motorcycles and airplanes, in Director Li's opinion, it is like a moat!
"Take off!"
In the next second, I saw Wang Ye make a strange movement of bending his legs and waving his hand to the right.
With his voice, the phalanx in front had already given way to position, and the gyrocopter in front suddenly began to accelerate, but in just twenty meters, with the roar of the engine and the rotation of the propeller, the gyroplane flew directly!
This scene once again stunned everyone present!
After all, in this era, gyrocopter is a strange concept for everyone, not only for machinery factories, but even leaders like Wei Qingshan and Zhou Jinlie!
Because gyroplane is still a very rare type of aircraft, not to mention in China, there are few commercial military applications and market share in the world!
"This? Helicopter? Not really! ”
"What kind of plane is this?"
At this moment, the old man Wei Qingshan, who stood up, looked at the roaring and taking off one after another, and the last five all entered the air, gradually rising and moving away, and blurted out a surprised voice.
For the old man Wei Qingshan, he is engaged in the work of war command, coupled with the closure of Huaxia in the past, it is normal to not know the gyroplane.
"It's a gyroplane!"
"The rotors on top only provide lift, and the rotors at the back provide power."
"So you can't take off vertically like a helicopter, you can't hover in the air, you need to glide and take off."
However, the old man Zhou Jinlie, who was engaged in the military industry next to him, saw at a glance what was flying in the sky, and explained the basic working principle of the rotorcraft to the old man Wei Qingshan next to him in a few words.
"The Red Star Machinery Factory still has the capacity to produce aircraft, isn't it?"
Hearing the voice of the old man Zhou Jinlie, the old man Wei Qingshan asked with an incredible face, and at this time, the old man Zhou Jinlie looked at the rotorcraft in the sky with burning eyes, and then turned his head to look at Wang Ye and sighed:
"Of course not, as for how it came about."
"Then we have to ask Director Wang!"
"The grenade launcher a few days ago has already scared us, but I didn't expect that you kid is still holding such a big one?"
"All the planes are out?"
Under the complicated gaze of the old man Zhou Jinlie, the old man Wei Qingshan, and many people present, Wang Ye explained with a smile:
"We initially earned 400,000 US dollars, hoping to purchase a diesel engine production line through the channel of the Industrial Bureau, and prepare to engage in agricultural machinery and produce tractors and other products."
"But I didn't expect that all units didn't look down on our $400,000, let alone a loan, and they didn't want to deal with us."
"In the end, Director Liang mediated and contacted a motorcycle engine production line from Quancheng, and finally we purchased this production line with 300,000 US dollars."
"When the production line arrived, it was difficult to produce any products, and we had never done a motorcycle! Besides, I haven't investigated the market, and I may lose a lot of money if I rush into the industry. ”
"So I made a decision, got a motorcycle engine with a larger displacement, and produced a rotorcraft."
"Then our forest fire patrol aircraft project was established."
"After such a long time, the test flight was successful yesterday, and a total of five prototypes were produced, and they are all pulled out today to support the scene!"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Old Man Wei Qingshan and Old Man Zhou Jinlie glanced at each other, and then Old Man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but laugh and scolded directly:
"You haven't done a motorcycle, you've done a gyroplane?"
"Motorcycles haven't been researched in the market, but you have researched gyroplanes? Can it be sold? ”
Faced with the old man Zhou Jinlie's statement, Wang Ye nodded solemnly and said:
"You're right, I never fight unprepared battles, but I seriously conducted market research."
"According to my survey, 80 percent of the countries in Africa currently do not have air forces, nor do they have any air vehicles and flight capabilities, in the face of such a vacancy and a huge market, we are certainly worth a fight!"
"According to the original plan, when the time comes, our fire-fighting grenade machine guns will be mounted on it, and fireproof bombs will be hung on the pylons on both sides."
"Just such a set sells for 10,000 dollars, so good quality and cheap."
"Hey! Guess how there is no market for our forest fire patrol aircraft? ”
"It's definitely going to sell on the African continent!"
After Wang Ye finished speaking, Old Man Wei Qingshan and Old Man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but glance at each other again, and the other people around them also looked at each other, because they couldn't help but fantasize about that picture, it seemed to be a little interesting!
