Chapter 83: Buy, Buy, Buy!
After a moment of silence, Old Man Wei Qingshan looked at Wang Ye and asked in a deep voice:
"How much can you carry as a gyroplane? How long can it fly? How fast can it fly? How high can you fly? Are there any other usage restrictions? ”
Hearing the voice of the old man Wei Qingshan, the old man Zhou Jinlie turned his head to look, from the slight frown of his brows and the flashing look in his eyes, as an old friend, he had already guessed that it was obvious that the old man Wei Qingshan had taken a fancy to this gyroplane!
Thinking of this, the old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but sigh, in fact, he couldn't blame the old man Wei Qingshan for being so dignified and able to see such a small plane!
In fact, in today's China, there is a shortage of this kind of low, slow and small flying machine!
The most intuitive representative is the helicopter!
At present, the most important helicopter in China is still the Z-5 helicopter in the 50s, and the total number is only more than 400, and the follow-up Z-6 and Z-7 helicopters were also launched one after another three years ago for various reasons.
In the mid-seventies, although part of the Super Wasp helicopter and its patented technology were introduced from France, and the process of domestic imitation began, and it was planned to be named the Z-8, but judging from the temporary progress of work, it would take several years or even more than ten years for the successful imitation and mass production.
In order to solve the problem of the lack of helicopters in China, two years ago it was necessary to import a light Dolphin helicopter and patented technology from France again, which is expected to be copied and produced as the Z-9, but it will also take several years or even ten years to complete.
So now the domestic helicopters, mainly the old straight -5, the key last year is also because the equipment is old and unbearable to continue, and because the old straight -5 performance is backward, the equipment is not worth rebuilding and maintaining, and finally the production line is directly all out of production, and in addition to the old straight -5, the rest of the helicopters, mainly French goods, Soviet goods, but no matter what the goods, the total quantity and total quality are too little and too low, not enough, not the top use!
"Our forest fire prevention gyroplane has a take-off weight of about 500 kilograms."
"The payload is around 260 to 280 kilograms, and if you pair two drivers who are thinner and lighter, you can work with 150 kilograms."
"For example, a fire-fighting machine gun, plus 250 rounds of fire-fighting grenades, that's about the same weight."
"In the case of full load, the flight speed can reach one hundred and eighty kilometers per hour, the time in the air can reach three hours, and the combat radius can reach almost two hundred and fifty kilometers."
"It can fly up to about 3,500 meters, but we haven't tested this in detail."
"But theoretically, it's pretty much the same based on the engine's power curve."
With Wang Ye's voice, the expression of the old man Wei Qingshan opposite became more and more exciting, and finally he couldn't help but grin and show a bright smile.
Nowadays, in China, there is really a shortage of helicopters!
And the role of this low-altitude and slow-speed aircraft is, in a sense, irreplaceable, although there are so many old fighters in China, but the fighters can't do the work of this thing!
Otherwise, two years later, with the easing of relations between China and the United States, a huge amount of money of 150 million dollars would be spent to purchase Black Hawk helicopters from the United States!
"Good! Good! Good stuff! ”
"It's really a good thing, I said Lao Zhou, I think you are also a generation of Bole, with a unique vision!"
"Sure enough, you are not wrong, Wang Ye, this little comrade is indeed extraordinary, not only has technology, but also has ideas and drive!"
"I can't even think that he can toss such a gyroplane with such a third-tier factory and a motorcycle engine production line worth 300,000 US dollars?"
"Hey! Don't look at it small, if it is pulled to the battlefield, the effect is unimaginable! ”
"It can even influence the situation of the war and determine the direction of the war!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the old man Wei Qingshan praised from the bottom of his heart, Wang Ye was a little embarrassed, and everyone in the Red Star Machinery Factory was like a chicken blood, each with a strong chest, and he looked honored.
As for the old man Zhou Jinlie and the other staff members also nodded in agreement, after all, everyone is either engaged in military industry or command, and they have just experienced the war years, whether it has any effect can be seen at a glance!
If the military parade at the beginning can still be seen as a farce made by a young man, Wang Ye, then now, no one despises it anymore!
It's really the role and weight of the gyroplane, it's too big!
Although Wang Ye kept saying that this rotorcraft was a forest fire prevention patrol aircraft, it was obvious that this was a calf selling dog meat with a sheep's head, after all, whose fireproof equipment was equipped with a grenade machine gun and two pylons next to it, and all kinds of small bombs and even rockets could be hung at a glance?
"I said Lao Zhou! I feel that this rotorcraft, our troops should also be equipped! ”
"And as Wang Ye said just now, the price is not expensive!"
"Besides, no matter how poor you are, you can't violate the objective law, right? Since there is such equipment, if it is not equipped, it will be irresponsible to the country, to the troops, to the soldiers, and to the broad masses of the people! ”
"After all, it's not too peaceful in the south, and this thing is lacking!"
"It's really not good, just go with our helicopter budget, I don't think it's a problem."
Finally, Old Man Wei Qingshan looked at Old Man Zhou Jinlie, and then asked with a smile.
In the past, the Red Star Machinery Factory was under the management of the Fifth Machinery Department, that is, the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, and if the Ministry of Defense decided what weapons to purchase for the troops' equipment, it would communicate with the Fifth Machinery Department, and the Fifth Machinery Department was responsible for communicating with the military factories of the research institutes below, or R&D or production.
That's why the old man Wei Qingshan said this to the old man Zhou Jinlie.
Hearing the old man Wei Qingshan say this, the old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but laugh and joked:
"I just bought a grenade machine gun a few days ago, and today I want to buy a gyroplane, what do you all have to buy in the follow-up Wang Ye?"
"If this continues, it will exceed this year's budget, and then the financial department will send a letter again."
"It's not even good, you have to point at our noses at the conference and question!"
"But Lao Wei, what you said is also right, we can't violate the laws of the appreciable, right? Should you buy it or should you buy it, and if you are scolded, you will be scolded? ”
"Okay, good, buy, buy!"
Although the old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but ridicule a few words, he also understood that this thing had to be bought, after all, if there was no one, forget it, wouldn't it be a fool if he didn't need it? Money is the water in a sponge, the big ones may not have them, and the small ones will always be squeezed!
After all, how much such equipment is enough to support a third-tier factory?
"Then let's have fifty first, let's give it a try!"
Hearing that the old man Zhou Jinlie agreed, the old man Wei Qingshan was not polite, and directly waved his hand and said so generously, and the old man Zhou Jinlie, who listened, couldn't help but snort.
"And this blueprint"
In the next second, the old man Wei Qingshan suddenly said this, and in an instant, Wang Ye's whole person became excited, and he waved his hand directly and said:
"Our Red Star Machinery Factory has been converted from military to civilian, and now it belongs to the local industrial system."
"If you want to purchase our forest fire prevention patrol aircraft, then you only need to give money and materials, as for what you buy back for, it has nothing to do with us, and we export to earn foreign exchange in the same way."
"But you want drawings, sorry, that's not there, at least not now!"
"How many goods do you want, we will produce them for you!"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, the old man Zhou Jinlie seemed to expect it and did not show any surprise, while the old man Wei Qingshan was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
In the past, Huaxia was a planned economy, paying attention to the whole country's game of chess, whether it was a military factory or a state-owned factory, if you have it, I have it, and if you can produce it, I can produce it, that is, everyone can produce, no matter who designed it and who invented it, there is no such saying.
Then, according to the instructions of the higher authorities, we carry out planned production, and then pull it away, or carry out planned sales, or equip different troops, and so on.
But in the end, it is important to follow the plan.
So Wei Qingshan's old man's statement is not wrong to some extent, since Wang Ye has come up with the gyroplane, the drawings should be handed over, and then issued to other manufacturers that can produce it, if the country has demand, these factories can produce at the same time, and the terrifying output will break out in an instant.
The advantage, of course, is high efficiency, and the disadvantage is also obvious, anyway, they all listen to the command, and the people who make it out don't have much reward, so it's better for everyone to rest, wait for the command, and wait for the distribution.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye smiled bitterly and waved his hand to explain:
"If the Fifth Aircraft Department and the Ministry of Defense want to back up the design drawings, then I naturally have nothing to say."
"However, if this drawing continues to be sent, when we produce rotorcraft to earn foreign exchange for export, and other manufacturers see that we make money, then we will naturally not be left behind, and we will naturally have to produce and export foreign exchange."
"Of course, I don't want the big guys to earn foreign exchange for the country."
"But the problem is, with my understanding of these units in our system, if we sell for $20,000, they will dare to sell for 18,000, and then there will be factories that dare to sell for 15,000, and in the end, they will kill each other."
"No one can make money!"
After Wang Ye finished speaking, whether it was the old man Wei Qingshan or the old man Zhou Jinlie, and the other accompanying people were silent, because what Wang Ye said was the truth, and as the leading department, everyone knew it very well in their hearts.
Especially after the release of the past few years, the competition between each other is called a ruthless!
"Makes sense! Makes sense! ”
In the end, the old man Wei Qingshan sighed, and seemed to be very excited, while the old man Zhou Jinlie seemed to be frowning and thinking about something, at this time, the big military parade was over, Wang Ye made a gesture of invitation and said:
"The fire parade is over, why don't we go to the conference room and sit and talk?"
For Wang Ye's opinion, of course, it was a casual guest, and then a group of people came to the largest conference room on the second floor of the office building.
After everyone sat down and the staff made tea, the old man Zhou Jinlie didn't take a sip of water, looked at Wang Ye and asked:
"Wang Ye, how do you think the problem you said just now should be solved?"
"I'd like to hear your thoughts, but it doesn't hurt to say so."
Regarding this question of the old man Zhou Jinlie, Wang Ye said without thinking:
"When I left Yanjing, the state had already set up a committee for the compilation of the 'Patent Law'."
"In the past, we were engaged in a planned economy, and the whole country played a game of chess, and the Planning Commission was responsible for regulating and controlling it, so naturally there was no need for patents, but now that we are opening up and we are engaged in a market economy, we must have patents."
"The so-called patent is that I invented the gyroplane, whether you can produce it or not, you can't produce it, otherwise you will be illegal!"
"It's a law that protects inventors!"
Speaking of this, Wang Ye paused, glanced at the expressions of the staff sitting opposite, and then coughed lightly and said:
"Of course, I also understand that this may not sound conducive to the great unity and development."
"But the problem is that it's good for development!"
"Because only when the interests of inventors are protected, more and more people will join the ranks of inventors, rather than plagiarists undercutting each other's prices and even shoddy dumping, which destroys the market."
Hearing Wang Ye say this, some people thought it was true, some people frowned and thought, and Wang Ye continued:
"Some time ago, Commander Song came to inspect, and we also had an exchange."
"Both of you should know the content."
"In my opinion, patent law is equally applicable in the military field, but one is confidential, not public in the civilian field."
"I said at the time that all military factories and third-tier factories should take the initiative, give full play to their imagination, rely on their abilities, and strive to create new military products, excellent military products, high-quality military products, and military products that meet the market."
"Then, push these products to the market, to the world, to the world, and to earn foreign exchange for the country!"
"In this process, there is a necessary premise, that is, at least in the country, we can't fight with our own people, you sell 10,000 and I sell 5,000, what is this for?"
"And the patent law is to lock up this kind of plagiarism, and let each unit figure out its own way, instead of relying on the state!"
Wang Ye's voice echoed in the conference room, some of the people present nodded in approval, some frowned and were thinking, and some seemed to disagree, and the old man Zhou Jinlie's expression when he looked at Wang Ye was more and more relieved!
In history, three years later, the country will enact its first patent law.
And the whole compilation process lasted three whole years!
After a while, Wang Ye finished speaking, Director Liang lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and seemed to be a little worried, while the old man Zhou Jinlie was smoking a cigarette, nodding his head frequently in approval and approval, as for the old man Wei Qingshan, he couldn't help but laugh directly:
"Hahaha, Wang Ye, you kid, you have ideas!"
"Originally, I was still thinking about asking you about the export of military factories to earn foreign exchange, after all, your reform is very successful!"
"I didn't expect that you didn't need me to ask, you would recruit them all!"
"Indeed, what you said makes sense, you have to let the factories below give full play to their subjective initiative!"
"And that sentence of yours suddenly reminds me, imagination! Imagination is important! Those who are engaged in the military industry should also use their imagination to develop better products, and I think this is right! ”
"Wang Ye, you kid is very imaginative! I appreciate those firefighting equipment! ”
"War is fire, isn't it? Hahaha! ”
As soon as the old man Wei Qingshan's voice fell, when he heard this rather cold joke, a light laugh sounded at the scene at the right time.
