General Shen and Hou Haitao looked at each other and sighed helplessly. As expected, this boy had no intention of becoming a soldier.
In fact, General Shen really came to take a look at Feng Yu this time. He came to talk to Hou Haitao about a very important matter, which was what Hou Haitao had always wanted to do.
Once upon a time, the Bingfei Factory was a military enterprise that produced fighter jets. It was considered one of China's early military enterprises. During the last enterprise reform, according to the above requirements, the military was converted into civilians.
At that time, Bingfei Factory had just begun to launch automobile projects. They thought that relying on their aircraft engine production technology, it would be easy to produce automobile engines and they would definitely make a lot of money.
However, they did not consider that the Bingfei Factory was too close to FAW, and the cars it produced had no features and sales were not satisfactory. Although they did not lose money, they could not make much money.
They also developed a small aircraft project and wanted to make money from it, but they were still half-dead. As for the helicopter project, although it has been retained, there are no civilian orders at all.
If it hadn't been for the huge profits made on humidifiers, the Ice Flying Factory would have been the same as in its previous life. Even the helicopter project was eventually converted to civilian use, which relieved the economic pressure.
To put it bluntly, when transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy, you don’t know how to make your products cater to the market and consumers. No matter how good your technology is, you can’t make money if you don’t know how to sell and promote.
But this is still a good thing. Many transformed companies eventually went bankrupt. If they did not go bankrupt, they might drag down the local government. There were many such examples in previous lives.
Feng Yu actually despised the thinking of the leaders at this time. He obviously had good military production capabilities, but he didn't know how to make money with it.
Look at the United States and the Soviet Union. They are both big exporters of arms and ammunition. As long as they sell obsolete products, it will not only ensure that the technology will not be leaked, but also recover the cost.
China's leaders insist on not selling weapons. I think that would not be a peaceful country. The surrounding small countries have been clamoring for the China threat theory, especially the island countries, South Korea, Malaysia and other countries. Is it so difficult that if you don’t sell weapons, they won’t target you
The shit basin is still stuck on the head, that is to say, you. Want to add guilt. Why bother? Many people can't figure it out, or there is a gap in their thinking.
By doing this, those countries can hold back China's economic development. They don't have to pay a cent, so why not
The army was converted into civilians. However, two-thirds of military-industrial enterprises have been transformed into private enterprises, but how many have been successful? Less than one tenth. They have no idea at all that if the original military technology is converted into civilian use, they don't even know what to do.
So a strange phenomenon emerged, that is, if a product becomes popular on the market, there will immediately be a flood of identical products from other brands, and then no one will make any money, and they will lose money together!
Originally, the transformation of Bingfei Factory was not too successful, although it did not lose money. But I didn't make much money either. But since the year before last, the profits of Bingfei Factory have skyrocketed because of the humidifier project. Later, an ultra-high-power electric furnace was purchased, which solved the problem that had been stuck for a long time and reduced the cost of helicopter production a lot.
Only then did the superiors pay attention to Bingfei Factory again and felt that Hou Haitao was very capable. But soon, Hou Haitao surprised them again. He actually obtained a lot of Soviet aircraft manufacturing technology, especially the engine, which was very important to the country.
But Bingfei Factory no longer has such an advanced laboratory. So Shen Cheng issued an order to take away the aircraft's engine technology, including the engine prototype.
But Hou Haitao later acquired helicopter manufacturing technology, which the Ice Flying Factory specializes in. There is no reason for the above to take it away again.
The R&D and production of helicopters requires too much funds, and the little money the Ice Flying Factory has is simply not enough. They can only report to the higher authorities and hope that the higher authorities will allocate funds.
In fact, Hou Haitao's ultimate goal is to turn Bingfei Factory into a military enterprise again. Although Bingfei Factory's status at this time is also quite special. But it’s still incomparable to before the transformation.
In the past, not to mention the city, the province had no control over the Bingfei Factory. Now, for the sake of a little bit of land, the city can get involved. What makes Hou Haitao most dissatisfied is that their Bingfei Factory now needs to pay taxes, and the proportion is not low. However, the city only collects taxes and does not care about the production and operation of the Bingfei Factory. There is no support policy at all. Compared with municipal enterprises, Bing Feichang is the daughter of a stepmother.
Now the opportunity finally came. Hou Haitao borrowed Feng Yu's hand to obtain the technology of the MiG series, which attracted great attention from the superiors. Hou Haitao wants Bingfei Factory to turn into a military enterprise again, and the higher-ups are also considering it.
General Shen came here this time to talk to Hou Haitao on behalf of the military about whether the military and civilians could work together to create a semi-military and semi-civilian project, like those in island countries and those in Europe and the United States.
Of course, Bingfei Factory no longer needs to pay taxes, and it can also get a lot of preferential policies. At the same time, Hou Haitao's treatment as a junior general will also become a real junior general.
This point has been determined above. What Hou Haitao wants to strive for is that the military and civilians should not be separated, which requires both the name and policy of the military and civilian support.
He remembered the last time he talked to Feng Yu. Mitsubishi, Fuji, Nikon, etc. in the island country used to be military-industrial companies. Although they were nominally converted to civilian use, they still did not give up military research and could still make money from civilian products. The money is subsidized to military research. Once a war breaks out, military products can be produced in the shortest possible time!
Mitsubishi, which makes tanks, Fuji, which makes airplanes, and Nikon, which makes sights, produce trucks, cars, cameras, etc., which are very popular around the world and make a lot of money.
Combining military and civilian forces is an idea mentioned by Feng Yu, who said it is the method currently adopted by developed countries in Europe and the United States and is extremely successful. In China, there is no successful precedent. Feng Yu said that if Hou Haitao can succeed, then Hou Haitao will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of China.
At that time, Feng Yu just said it casually, but Hou Haitao remembered it in his heart, and he has been working hard for it.
Now that he has seen the light, of course he will not give up. But the leaders above are also in a dilemma, as there is no precedent for this.
Military industrial enterprises are military industrial enterprises, and private enterprises are private enterprises. How can they be confused? Although it is available abroad, it is a foreign country and may not be suitable for China!
In particular, Hou Haitao not only wants the name and benefits of a military industrial enterprise, but also wants to produce civilian products. This investment is not a small amount, and there is endless debate at the top.
In the end, after discussion, the leaders above believed that the Bingfei Factory could be used as a pilot project. If successful, it would avoid the failure of the transformation of military industrial enterprises, relieve economic pressure, and even create higher economic value.
Feng Yu had no idea that his casual words would bring such a big change to the Bingfei Factory and the reform of China's military industry enterprises. While Hou Haitao was reporting work in detail to General Shen, Feng Yu was on the news, Great Man, on a southern tour! (To be continued.)
