In 1989,'Map Head' visited a flower planter and proposed to resume arms sales between China and the Soviet Union.
At that time, the alliance's economy was in a mess. Mao Zi hopes to sell some weapons to make some small money to fill up some household.
At the same time, Tu Zi happened to have rapid economic development on the other side of the Strait. The navy and air force had great advantages and arrogance.
The air force of the flower planters is still using the "small short legs" that are difficult to defend the airport, such as the J6 and J7. It urgently needs a large-range heavy fighter, so it introduced the "long-legged" Su-27.
While introducing the Su-27, the domestic air force also realized that it should have a large transport aircraft. But at that time, there was only a semi-sling tactical transport aircraft like Yunba, and the output was very poor.
So the country also wanted to buy Il-76, and an agreement was reached in '91.
However, Mao Xiong met a poor customer like Rabbit. Later, the orders for the Su-27 were greatly cut, and now the second-hand Il-76 was squeezed out of the orders for the new machine.
Originally, Nande was too nasty to do business and ruined the great market. It was the turn of the "Holy Light" to do it. The delivery was fast and the quality was good. The four Tu-154s were operated by United Airlines.
At present, domestic transportation capacity is extremely tight regardless of road, railway, and aviation. Basically, you can make money if you have an airplane, and the benefits are high. 'Holy Light' not only brought in passenger planes, but also hired pilots and ground crews together.
United Airlines thinks this is pretty good. It doesn't cost a penny, but four large passenger planes are in vain. You only need to plan the route and you can make money by selling tickets.
When the'Holy Light' got ten Il-76s in one breath, United Airlines finally couldn't sit still.
Why is this airplane getting easier and easier
No, Director Ma came to see Zhou Qingfeng.
"Excluding routine maintenance, the current four Tu-154s and ten Il-76s basically have an operating efficiency of 70%. This can be considered very good.
In order to make money, all domestic units have been refitting and transporting live sheep to the UAE. Recently, they used Il-76 to transport camels in the Middle East, and the profits were not small. "
Director Ma sounded like a joke, and Zhou Qingfeng sounded even more surprised.
"My Il-76 was taken to transport camels?"
"Yes, earn foreign exchange."
Director Ma suffocated all Zhou Qingfeng's questions in one sentence. Anyway, it's all about capacity, so it's not as good as earning foreign exchange abroad to earn soft sister currency at home.
The local tyrants in the Middle East are now very rich, and the U.S. dollar is very profitable.
It was precisely because of the camels that the Air Force discovered that this long-range large-scale airlift was really good. In the past, it took a few more than eight refueling and repeated transfers to do something, and one Il-76 could do it.
The capacity of this big plane is really fun to use.
"So?"
"So I still want to import ten and twenty more.'Holy Light' has ready-made sources and sales channels, and every day there is an organic team to fly back and forth between Moscow and the Imperial Capital.
Every take-off and landing represents a batch of high-priced goods shipped or delivered. Do you know to whom are the recent shipments sold? "
After all, Mao Xiong is an industrial country with a solid family background. The'Holy Light' recently opened the door to a war-ready warehouse in the Moscow Military District, which contains the strategic reserves of the Union army.
The strategic reserve is all-encompassing, including thousands of construction vehicles, not only produced by Teddy Bear, but also a large number of East European goods such as East Germany, Czech Republic and Romania. It even includes train carriages and locomotives of many railways.
Whenever a domestic freight train arrives in Moscow, or a container freighter arrives in St. Petersburg, the strategic reserves in the quarters warehouse will be less.
For example, the 24 type passenger car of the domestic railway system is the introduction of East German technology, including soft sleepers, air-conditioned cars, dining cars and so on. This was a high-end railway passenger car in the 1990s.
The carriages of the corresponding series were transported back from Moscow without modification, and were bought directly by the Ministry of Railways. Railway capacity has thus easily increased.
"In addition to railway carriages and locomotives, engineering vehicles are also in short supply in China, and they have all been bought by the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport. Due to the limited quantity, ordinary units want to buy them."
In the 1990s, domestic infrastructure construction began to exert strength, and the mileage of roads and railways increased rapidly. It was during this period that Japanese products from Komatsu, Kawasaki, and Mitsubishi poured in.
'Holy Light' can get Eastern European goods at super low prices, and several domestic ministries and commissions are happy to blossom.
"I have a table on hand, which lists the shipping list for the next month. There are detailed types of goods and departure schedules. These goods have buyers."
Director Ma showed Zhou Qingfeng a small book with dozens of pages densely written on it. There are buyers of goods on every page, all of them are not small.
"I have to answer hundreds of calls every day, just to arrange these sources of goods for contact. Many of the above are given priority to the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport, because they can arrange wagons for us in China, and everyone wins."
The ministries and commissions have construction tasks every year, and everybody has the motivation to work as quickly and economically as possible. Therefore, the goods obtained by "Shengguang" from Damao have no worries about sales in China.
"Why are you looking for me now?"
Looking at Director Ma’s notebook, Zhou Qingfeng secretly calculated that after several months of tossing, he had already transported more than 10,000 vehicles and equipment to the country through various means of land, sea and air.
This is equivalent to the domestic production capacity of two or three heavy industrial machinery factories out of thin air, and there is still no need to build, and it will take effect immediately. This kind of blood supply is no joke.
Coupled with the open supply of "Holy Light" in machine tool tools and electronic chips, this is like a nutritious supplement to the development of domestic related industries.
"We estimate that because of the contribution of the'Holy Light' this year, the country has saved about 1.5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange. Related industries have produced huge economic benefits, and the annual GDP growth rate can increase by at least 0.5%. "
The total domestic GDP in 1991 was 2200 billion soft sister coins. The original growth rate was 9.3%, and the increase was more than 310 billion.
Director Ma's estimate is still conservative. The "Holy Light" is doing things all the time, and the value of all kinds of goods returned is more than 10 billion soft sister coins.
Among them, the chip is particularly expensive and the application output value is extremely high.
In addition, a large number of advanced machine tool tools have allowed major domestic machine tool factories to obtain a technical upgrade. Both the yield rate and the benefits of the products have improved by leaps and bounds, and many newly developed products have successfully entered the international market and made a lot of real money.
Zhou Qingfeng also forced various machine tool factories to assemble advanced three-axis CNC machine tools. Technology is often just a layer of window paper, and when you pierce it, it feels less difficult than you think.
The 1,000 three-axis CNC machine tools required by "Shengguang" have been assembled and passed the performance test led by the ministries and commissions. This machine tool is not the most advanced, but it is the most versatile.
The ability to complete the assembly indicates that the engineering and technical personnel have an overall understanding of the machine tool. They began to wonder if they could replace a certain part of the product in the next step and gradually complete the localization.
After all, if you can make money, no one will fight against economic benefits.
Director Ma said with a lot of emotion, hot and excited. He rubbed his hands, "I have been calculating privately with many comrades in the ministries and commissions for a long time, and they all feel that the potential of the'Holy Light' has not been realized.
Hasn't it been 92 years? There are new tasks this year. If we plan carefully, we will definitely be able to go further. The foreign exchange saved can be used to purchase more advanced products, and the increase in efficiency can make GDP growth faster.
Now the card is stuck in capacity, especially air transportation. "
