Chapter 195: Safe and secure, Capital University of Technology is in action
“A factory as big as the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has tens of thousands of people in it.”
“You can’t count on everything big. Our Xiaojiang, right?”
Fang Zhen is also very clear about his son-in-law’s abilities.
However, she felt a little unhappy when Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant came to Jiang Hui for all important matters.
Especially Zhu Lin is about to give birth.
"Mom, this is because Jiang Hui is valued in the factory."
"Their factory will soon make major reforms. It is a good thing that Jiang Hui is being reused at this time. "
"Besides, you two have been with me these days."
Zhu Lin is definitely on Jiang Hui's side at this time.
It was a cold day, and Zhu Lin had a big belly. Even if Jiang Hui was at home, everyone would definitely not go out.
At this time, it is normal to prioritize work.
“After a busy day, let’s eat first.”
After Zhu Jiansheng said this, Fang Zhen didn’t say anything else.
She didn't really have a problem with Jiang Hui just now. She just felt a little unhappy that the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant actually asked Jiang Hui to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.
"Dad, we have finalized a cooperation order for 1,000 units of our new BJ212. However, the demand for this kind of off-road vehicle is not that big in Afghanistan."
"After all, most of the opposition forces are in mountainous areas Wait, it's not as practical as motorcycles and bicycles."
"But I think you have a chance to give your Hummer a try, after all, it has better driving performance on bad roads."< br>
“And because it has certain armor protection capabilities, it has a natural advantage when dealing with infantry.”
“Even if it is against a tank, it can run faster, so in There should still be usage scenarios in some small cities controlled by opposition forces.”
"As the most important high-performance military off-road vehicle in the future, I think it is quite meaningful to actually test its performance on the battlefield in Afghanistan and find some areas for improvement."
Jiang Hui Zhu Jiansheng must be very interested in what he is busy with these days.
Although some things have confidentiality requirements, Zhu Jiansheng, as the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Capital University of Technology, is a member of the national defense system, and his own confidentiality level is sufficient.
It doesn't matter if he knows some news.
It is impossible for Zhu Jiansheng to shout everywhere.
If that doesn't work, he can also go to the Fifth Machinery Department to confirm the news, which can be regarded as a disguised cover for him to know some inside information in advance.
“How many US dollars did each of your BJ212s cost?”
Even at Zhu Jiansheng’s level, he is very enthusiastic about exporting and earning foreign exchange.
Under normal circumstances, a university like Capital Institute of Technology has nothing to do with earning foreign exchange from exports.
But they are large users of foreign exchange, and almost all experimental instruments need to be imported.
Especially for an engineering school, the amount of foreign exchange spent on the construction of any laboratory and the equipment is exaggerated.
Because of insufficient foreign exchange quota, several purchase orders of Capital Institute of Technology in the past year have not been implemented.
If they also have the ability to earn foreign exchange, it will be much easier to purchase laboratory equipment.
Although foreign exchange is managed centrally, as a major foreign exchange earner, there is obviously no big problem in purchasing some imported equipment.
“$50,000 a car!”
"A car costs $50,000?"
Zhu Jiansheng's eyes almost popped out of his head.
He originally thought that a car worth ten thousand dollars would be pretty good.
I didn’t expect it to be fifty thousand dollars!
This price is definitely a high price.
If you are selling arms, it seems normal for the price to be higher.
But models like the BJ212, although they can barely be considered military vehicles, are mostly used in civilian scenarios.
Its military attributes are completely incomparable with the Hummer.
“Yes, it costs 50,000 US dollars.”
“That’s why I think the school should join forces with the 618th Factory, communicate with the Fifth Machinery Department as soon as possible, and strive to get the Hummer The project was included in the cooperation with the United States to assist Afghanistan. ”
"It won't be much more then. Even if a Hummer is sold for 200,000 US dollars, or even 100,000 US dollars, it will be of great significance."
"Even the United States may not be interested in our Hummer military vehicles. Interested."
Jiang Hui's statement is obviously not unreasonable.
The Pentagon of the United States is actually launching a bidding process for a new generation of high-performance military vehicles.
According to the normal progress of history, various car companies will produce prototype cars one after another next year for others to confirm.
The Hummer project was originally born that way.
But now with the Capital Institute of Technology’s Hummer project, the situation is naturally completely different.
"I will report this matter to the school as soon as I get to work the day after tomorrow, and then go to the Fifth Machinery Department with the director of the 618th Factory to report our plan." Zhu Jiansheng is definitely very positive about this matter. .
Even if it is the same as the Capital Automobile Factory and only completes a batch of export orders of 1,000 vehicles, it is still a super foreign exchange earning project of more than 100 million US dollars.
Such a major project may become the largest export-earning foreign exchange project in 1980 and become a typical case for the Fifth Machinery Department and even China as a whole.
Capital Institute of Technology will definitely be able to gain many benefits from this project.
This is very beneficial to the development of the school and Zhu Jiansheng's personal development.
“If the United States or other countries want to purchase Hummers, it is best to set a minimum order quantity. If there are no orders of more than 100 vehicles, we will carefully consider whether to sell them.”
Don’t think that all American companies are so law-abiding.
When people see the benefits, they can use all kinds of methods.
It is simply impossible to expect the United States to continue importing Humvee military vehicles from China.
The most they can do is buy these vehicles back as prototypes for testing, learn from them and then develop their own new generation of military vehicles.
In this way, if China wants to export Hummers, it must earn back the money at once.
Fortunately, Capital Institute of Technology's progress is much faster than that of the United States. In the next few years, there is no need to worry about American car companies competing with them in the international market.
As for the more distant future, the market of America's allies will definitely have nothing to do with China.
You can look forward to some other markets in Asia, Africa, Latin America and even the Middle East.
Even after the Iran-Iraq war breaks out in the future, there will be no problem if Party A eats Party B and sells Hummers to Baghdad and Persia at the same time.
That was definitely the most comfortable time for factories belonging to some of China's military industry systems to live.
"Well, your reminder is quite reasonable. You can't throw away your future just because of a few cars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange."
Zhu Jiansheng knew that if Jianghu hadn't reminded him, if the United States really wanted to purchase three or five Humvee military vehicles in the future, the Fifth Machinery Department might really agree.
After all, this is a project of hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars.
In the whole of China, it is considered a very good export project to earn foreign exchange.
“By the way, although the Hummer project will not be mass-produced until the second half of the year, haven’t the relevant departments already ordered a batch of prototypes in advance?”
“I I think we can produce some more prototypes and launch them into the international market in advance to better verify its performance.”
"Whether it's the United States, Japan, or even some other countries, as long as they are interested, we can consider negotiating export orders with them."
"While everyone is not special about Humvee military vehicles yet Understand, let’s make some money first.”
Time waits for no one.
The earlier we act, the better it will be for China.
Otherwise, when the car companies in the United States produce their own prototype cars, people will not be so enthusiastic.
"Well, I will report this idea in time."
Zhu Jiansheng is not stupid, he naturally knows how to seize the opportunity.
“By the way, when I went to visit today, a former nurse was interested in coming to our house to help. I will ask her to come over tomorrow and give it a try. If everyone thinks it is okay, let her stay.”
Zhu Lin will give birth soon, and Fang Zhen also knows that he cannot handle everything in the courtyard by himself.
At this time, it is necessary to find someone to help.
Jiang Hui and the others had already talked about this before, and she finally implemented it.
“Since it’s a nurse you knew before, mom, let her stay and do it directly.”
“It’s hard to feel whether it’s really a good fit if we don’t get along for a while. ”
Zhu Lin still has confidence in his mother’s vision of people.
For a former nurse, regardless of how well she took care of people, at least she helped with the sanitation of the courtyard. There must be no problem, right?
The family was chatting and eating.
After entering 1980, the material supply in society has improved significantly compared with previous years.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, as long as you have money and tickets, you can basically buy the corresponding supplies.
The temperature is low in winter and meat will not spoil, so the meals on the table are quite abundant.
In the next few days, after Jiang Hui returned to the factory, he followed Chen Qi, Zheng Haiming and others to finalize the follow-up arrangements for exporting the BJ212 to earn foreign exchange.
And 70% of the down payment from the United States was officially transferred to the designated account.
The remaining 30% will not be remitted until the BJ212 is delivered to the border with Algeria.
This can also be regarded as a means for the United States to check and balance China.
Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant naturally has no objections to this.
Even 70% of the payment is enough to cover their costs and still make a very generous profit.
Not to mention that the payment for the goods is still in US dollars, which can be regarded as earning foreign exchange for the country.
The remaining delivery matters are not something that the Capital Automobile Factory can worry about too much, but are left more to the relevant departments.
