When Zhao Yi told his analysis, Yao Ziliang kept nodding after listening to it. Although he didn't know how long it would last, and he didn't know how much benefit he could get from the outside, there was always hope.
And even if military equipment is sold at cost price, although it will not make money domestically, it will not lose too much, and the one that makes the most profit is only China Military Industrial Company.
As for other supporting companies, there is no profit sharing, such as Star Power Company, Cornerstone Materials Company and other companies. Their products are sold to China Military Industrial Company at market prices.
Although from the perspective of Huaxia Military Industrial Company, it is doing a loss-making business, from the perspective of the entire system, it is still generally profitable.
Moreover, through the R&D and production of this batch of military equipment, Huaxia Military Industrial Company has also accumulated a lot of experience and research results, which will be of great help to the subsequent research and development of military equipment.
If the research and development costs of fourth-generation fighter jets and future aircraft carriers were not too high, Huaxia Military Industrial Corporation, relying on the experience and results accumulated this time, would not actually need to invest a lot of scientific research funds again, at least much less than this time.
It's just that the generation difference between the fourth-generation fighter jets and the third-generation fighter jets is actually quite large. Naturally, the research funds needed to be invested cannot be small, and the subsequent research on aircraft carriers will require huge financial support.
Therefore, in the future, if China Military Industrial Company wants to maintain its operations for a long time without affecting the progress of subsequent research, it must look for its own profits from outside.
If it is really not enough, then Zhao Yi can only pay out of his own pocket to maintain operation, but this is only the worst case scenario. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Yi does not intend to continue to invest money.
Again, he has put Huaxia Military Industrial Company on the road. As for how to take the future and whether it will be glorious, it mainly depends on them.
Of course, as long as Zhao Yi is still there, he will not stand idly by if the situation is really dangerous, because it is not easy to re-establish an industry, and it is impossible for him to watch it fall unless he has to.
"Although our prospects are worth looking forward to, the process is doomed to be very tortuous. Let's not mention other things. The first is that our military equipment cannot be tested in actual combat and cannot gain the trust of customers." Yao Ziliang said.
This is true. Whether military equipment is good or not depends not only on the specific parameters, but also on actual combat. Otherwise, no one will be sure to buy it.
After all, this is not an ordinary commodity. If the quality is inconsistent with the facts, at most you will lose a little money. If the military equipment is not effective in actual combat, you may lose a country.
As a newcomer in the field of military equipment, it is an indisputable fact that Huaxia Military Industrial Company will find it difficult to gain recognition from global customers in the short term, both in terms of its company background and its military equipment itself.
Moreover, in the foreseeable future, the possibility of us using these military equipment for actual combat is relatively low, so there is basically no place for advertising.
After Zhao Yi heard this, he was also thinking about this issue. If the military equipment of China Military Industrial Company wants to sell well in the international market, it must have a good entry point, otherwise it will be very difficult to get started.
This made Zhao Yi recall the future international situation and see where there are countries that may be able to use a large amount of military equipment, and there will be wars in the not too distant future.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yi set his sights on the country YLK. The Iran-Iraq war is still going on, and it is not appropriate to intervene at this time. However, in the future, YLK will risk his own life and invade other countries. When the time comes, Yingjiang will Take action.
If YLK purchases military equipment from Huaxia Military Industrial Company in large quantities before then, it will give Yingjiang a big surprise. Isn't this a good advertisement for Huaxia Military Industrial Company
Although in terms of endurance, YLK still has a big gap compared to Yingjiang, but as long as YLK withstands Yingjiang's military offensive pressure in the early stage, then the subsequent events will have nothing to do with China Military Industrial Company.
And this kind of stalemate is what Zhao Yi hopes to see. Although the outbreak of a war in that place will be detrimental to our country, an oil importing country, it also has great benefits.
The first is to drag Yingjiang into the YLK battlefield vortex, making it impossible for him to escape in the short term. This will not only consume their national strength, but also prevent Yingjiang from taking care of other places.
This is just like AFH becoming a crematorium for polar bears. If the war lasts for more than ten years, with the current strength of Yingjiang, it will not be able to sustain it for that long, and the result will not be any better than that of polar bears.
It stands to reason that if the losses are so huge, the worst case scenario is not to fight and just withdraw the troops. However, this kind of ordinary thinking is not feasible here, unless Yingjiang no longer wants to lead the world.
As Yingjiang, who had just dragged a polar bear to death, this was the time to be in high spirits. After being depressed for so long, he needed an opportunity to open the eyes of other countries around the world, flex his muscles, and provide strong support for him to take over the world. .
Therefore, under this mentality and historical background, Eagle Sauce will not retreat easily, unless they really cannot support themselves, just like the polar bears withdrew from AFH. In the end, not only will they fail to achieve their goals, but they will also damage their own prestige. Losing face.
As for whether YLK will attack KWT, Zhao Yi is not worried at all. In the situation in the previous life, they would attack. Now with the support of a large number of advanced equipment, it is impossible not to attack.
Moreover, the reason why YLK attacked KWT was due to domestic practical needs rather than out of whim. As long as this practical need still exists, the results will naturally not deviate greatly.
If this situation is really achieved, the YLK war that showed off the power of Yingjiang in the previous life will not only not bring them supreme glory, but will also put them into a dangerous situation, and they will be unable to extricate themselves and sink deeper and deeper.
This strategic goal makes Zhao Yi more and more interesting the more he thinks about it, and it is also in line with our country's strategic goals. No matter what, it is worth a try. Anyway, not only will there be no loss for us, but it will be of great benefit.
The second is to advertise for China Military Industrial Company. Is there any more convincing advertisement than beating up the military power of the first world power? He doesn't think so, at least in the short term, he won't see it.
This is different from the situation in Africa. Although there are constant wars over there, they are all small fights between tribes and there is no need for such sophisticated equipment.
In addition, people there are generally poor. No matter how good the advertising is, follow-up orders are very limited. This is very different from the Middle East.
As a region with the largest oil reserves in the world, the countries there are generally relatively wealthy, and it is very easy and fast to get money. As long as the equipment of Huaxia Military Industrial Company performs as it should, there will definitely be no shortage of follow-up orders.
Moreover, the conflicts in the Middle East are very deep, with various religious sects criss-crossing each other, and various interest entanglements. Whether it is now or in the future, the situation there is not optimistic.
In this case, they have both the ability and the demand for high-end military equipment. There is nothing more effective than advertising there, and it can also bring the most benefits to China Military Industrial Company.
Although Zhao Yi is not very happy to see this situation, after all, the chaos in the world will seriously affect his business, but this cannot be changed by his own wish.
So as a smart man, he never thought about stopping it, because it was in vain. He could only go with the flow and gain some benefits for himself.
And now Zhao Yi also has many interests in the Middle East. Although it is not enough for him to devote all his efforts to it, he cannot ignore these interests.
For example, Hong Kong Telecommunications Company has great interests in the Middle East. If the situation there is completely out of its control, it is unclear whether these interests can be preserved in the future.
Another example is that China International Petrochemical Company's main source of oil is the Middle East. If it does not have any influence there, it will be in danger of being choked by others at any time.
Therefore, not only do you need to have sufficient self-protection capabilities, but you also need to show your sense of existence at the appropriate time so that others cannot ignore your interests.
Although others cannot know the relationship between China Military Industrial Company, Hong Kong Telecom Company and China International Petrochemical Company, these are not important. It is enough to know that our country has the ability to protect its own interests.
The third point is to maintain the balance of world energy relations. As the main producer of energy in the world, the Middle East is very necessary to maintain the diversity of forces in this place.
If this extremely important place is controlled by a certain force, or if there is only one voice, it will pose a major harm to the world's energy security, especially for large economic countries with huge demand for oil imports.
So no matter what the purpose is, we need to have our own influence in the region, and we also try our best to avoid the emergence of one force and one voice here.
At present, the importance of petroleum resources is not only reflected in power and energy, but also in chemical industry, and is inseparable from many industrial products.
Even if controllable nuclear fusion is developed in the future, it will only solve the energy problem. There are still many chemical industry raw materials that need to be extracted from petroleum. Although petroleum resources will not be as popular as they are now, they are still indispensable resources.
Of course, if the technology is more advanced and energy can be used to achieve material conversion, then there will be no such problem, but this situation is unlikely to exist in the short term.
The reason for this is both a technical issue and a cost issue. Although the commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion can significantly reduce the cost of energy, it is not yet abundant to that extent.
We must know that the most fundamental transformation between substances is to change the atomic structure, and the amount of energy required to change the atomic structure can be seen from the principle of nuclear fusion.
It's just that one releases energy, and the other is likely to absorb energy. There will be a very big gap depending on the conversion between different substances. It may release huge energy, or it may need to absorb even greater energy.
If you want to rely on the energy provided by nuclear fusion to achieve conversion between substances, the cost will be very high and the degree of difficulty will be very high. You need to find more advanced energy sources.
Therefore, although the demand for oil resources may decrease in the foreseeable future, they will not completely disappear unless there are other major resource discoveries that completely replace oil resources in the field of industrial production.
In that case, the current industrial development method based on petroleum will need to be replaced, which will require huge cost investment. If it is not necessary, there will generally be a large number of substitutions in a short period of time.
Moreover, the discovery of new alternative resources also requires a long period of time to accumulate relevant new resource utilization technologies. Just like the discovery of oil to its full application, this process also takes a long time, and it is impossible to completely replace it in a short time. .
The fourth point is that it can break up the highly tied situation of petrodollars. Although it will not loosen immediately, it will also open a hole and allow other currencies to have a certain influence on oil transactions.
At present, Yingjiang is able to maintain its leading role mainly because of its economic strength, military strength, and interest relationships. As for democratic values, it is still the slogan of the polar bear at this time.
With the continuous development of our country's economic strength, it will only be a few years before the economic scale exceeds that of Eagle Sauce. And with the emergence of many high technologies and new economic models in our country, the future economic potential will be even greater.
For example, currently, our country has leading advantages in the fields of software, semiconductors, automobiles and consumer electronics, and even traditional industries are developing very rapidly.
Moreover, our country's population is larger, which means that the market potential is also very huge. Zhao Yi has no doubt that the economic scale exceeds that of Eagle Sauce, and he will even go all the way.
Military strength is even easier to say. This is what China Military Industrial Company is doing now. If the subsequent YLK war is really as Zhao Yi expected, then Yingjiang cannot say that it has an absolute advantage in this aspect.
As for the interest relationship, this is actually easy to handle. With the economic development of our country, more and more countries and regions will want to take advantage of it. It is natural for the two sides to establish trade relations.
In terms of economic, military and interest relationships, Yingjiang will not be in an absolute leading position by then. Although it is still an important participant, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
So can they still use US dollars to kidnap the world? Zhao Yi feels that the possibility is very strong, at least the binding is not so tight. If they use US dollar weapons unscrupulously, they are likely to be quickly abandoned by others.
Zhao Yi actually has no opinion on the US dollar becoming the world currency in the short term. The reason has been mentioned before, which is that he hopes that the United States will shift from reality to virtuality and let the financial industry dominate.
Although this makes it easier to harvest the world's wealth and make money, there are pros and cons to everything. When there is not enough industry to support finance and currency, their doom will come.
This is just like when XBY discovered that there are a large number of silver mines in the American continent. This kind of mining business can make money, which completely made XBY lose his way and completely immersed in the psychedelic brought by this wealth feast.
Although this brought a lot of wealth to XBY, it caused XBY to miss the path of industrialization. As a result, it was completely surpassed by other countries that completed industrialization later, and its dominance was instantly lost.
Therefore, Zhao Yi has always believed that wealth can be used as an indicator of a country's strength, but it is not a key indicator. Otherwise, there would be no situation of being bullied by others in the late Qing Dynasty.
If it is much easier for Yingjiang to print money than it is to mine and transport XBY, it is impossible for them to give up, and as other industries fall behind, they will become more and more dependent on it.
Zhao Yi feels that this is not only not a bad thing, but also a good thing for us, because the world will abandon them sooner or later. It is only time. When they are abandoned, they will look back and see that they are nothing.
As for why he didn't support the North and let them continue to persevere, Zhao Yi felt that it was completely unnecessary, because the North was not a good person, and it was even worse than Yingjiang.
The North is like the dragon-slaying warrior who once slayed the dragon with the hope of the whole village. As a result, he coveted the treasure left by the evil dragon. It didn't take long before he turned into the evil dragon he once hated. , has also become an existence that others can quickly get rid of.
After such analysis, Zhao Yi felt that it was very necessary to do this, so he said to Yao Ziliang: "It's not urgent for the time being, there will always be a chance.
In addition to completing your current tasks, your current task is to carry out research and development of foreign trade military equipment as soon as possible, strive to produce mature products and establish a complete production line in one year. "
It is already 1986, which is very close to 1988, and it is not necessarily necessary to wait until then to sell military equipment. It stands to reason that some military equipment can be sold now.
It's just that Huaxia Military Industrial Company currently does not have military equipment that can be obtained, so the tasks of Huaxia Military Industrial Company will be relatively heavy for a long time to come.
Fortunately, this work is not particularly complicated. It only needs to be downgraded on the basis of existing military equipment to be slightly ahead of the current mainstream equipment in the world.
Although Yao Ziliang didn't know why Zhao Yi set a time point, he didn't raise any objection. After all, Huaxia Military Industrial Company's future source of profits will still depend on overseas markets. Of course, the sooner the better.
"I will make relevant arrangements and strive to come up with a mature design within a year. As for the production line, there is no need to worry. Exploding production capacity is our strength." Yao Ziliang said.
It's good for Yao Ziliang to have this confidence. Zhao Yi nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, he still gained a lot from this visit to Huaxia Military Industrial Company.
Originally planning to end this discussion, Zhao Yi suddenly felt that just providing attack missiles was not comprehensive, and he also needed to develop his own missile defense system.
So he said: "In this way, after the firepower research department provides supporting firepower systems for these platforms, you will start to develop your own missile defense system."
This Yao Ziliang will not ask the reason. Even if Zhao Yi does not ask, they will devote part of their energy to research and development in this area after completing the work at hand. After all, this is also a major military category. (End of chapter)
