Chapter 241 The father-in-law was not willing to lag behind, and suddenly he came hard
"Xiaojiang, the Fifth Machinery Department issued a notice today, requiring all factories to find ways to save foreign exchange and strive to create foreign exchange."
“Our school has purchased a lot of various laboratory equipment and instruments from overseas in the past year. It is the university that uses the most foreign exchange among the universities under the Ministry of Machinery and Industry.”
“So Today the school held a special school committee, hoping to make up for the impact of excessive foreign exchange consumption by further expanding efforts to earn foreign exchange. "
Zhu Jiansheng knew Jiang Hui's thinking on matters such as exporting to earn foreign exchange. Much more flexible than myself.
So after returning home, Weng and his son-in-law discussed it in the study.
“Isn’t the Hummer military vehicle that the school cooperates with the 618th Factory already exported to earn foreign exchange?”
To do something, you must first understand the situation.
Otherwise there is no way to get twice the result with half the effort.
“In the past year, through the export of Humvee military vehicles, we have indeed completed part of the task of earning foreign exchange.”
"But those export orders are generally not large and can no longer meet the leaders' requirements."
After the Humvee military vehicle was put into production, the demand for use by relevant domestic departments is also very strong.
In addition, many foreign countries have already ordered a batch of prototype cars, so the expansion of exports has actually been suspended for a while.
After all, the products produced are easy to sell, so everyone’s pressure and enthusiasm are naturally not that high.
As the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Zhu Jiansheng usually has to deal with a lot of things.
It is impossible for me to be responsible for promoting Hummer military vehicles every day.
“If you want to earn foreign exchange from exports, you must have a relatively large scale, and you must find some powerful countries to promote it.”
Jiang Hui began to analyze the international situation for Zhu Jiansheng Condition.
“Yes, but powerful countries, mainly the United States and its allies, and polar bears, these countries are unlikely to purchase our Humvee military vehicles on a large scale.”
Obviously. , Zhu Jiansheng has already thought of this problem.
In particular, the technical data of the Hummer military vehicle has been exchanged with AMC for the technical data of the diesel engine.
In other words, the United States will soon have its own Humvee military vehicle in the past two years.
In this case, it is natural to be even more reluctant to purchase from China on a large scale.
“There is another place that everyone has not paid enough attention to, and that is Baghdad and Persia. The Iran-Iraq war is now in full swing, and the demand for various military equipment will definitely grow explosively.”
“Now Baghdad has entered Persia with overwhelming force, but as the time to enter Persia becomes longer, the pressure will definitely increase.”
"Persia should have a very strong desire to drive Baghdad out of the country."
"In this case, if they are allowed to fully see the combat effectiveness of the Humvee military vehicle, I think they will definitely be Interested in large-scale procurement?”
Jiang Hui did a little analysis and found a key public relations target for Zhu Jiansheng.
Today's Persia is rich and wealthy, but its relations with several big countries are not good.
It is definitely very difficult to purchase suitable military equipment from polar bears or the United States.
Although their relationship with China has not been good in the past two years, Persia still has its value to China.
Selling a batch of Hummer military vehicles and other military products to Persia will not only effectively obtain more foreign exchange for China, but also improve the relationship between China and Persia.
“Persia may indeed have needs in this regard, but they are fighting Baghdad. If we sell arms to Persia, it will definitely affect our relationship with Baghdad, right?”
Zhu Jiansheng This concern explains to a certain extent why the Capital Institute of Technology or the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery have not yet begun large-scale cooperation with Persia.
Of course, as the operating pressure of domestic military factories increases, it is inevitable that the export of related products will increase in the future.
Jiang Hui has just advanced the process now.
“You are right, normally it is like this.”
“The arms trade is not a simple commodity trade, but is involved in many complex situations. "
"But I don't think you need to worry too much."
"If Baghdad has any objections, we can also sell Humvee military vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles and other products to them. They.”
"The most we can do is change the name of the model when the time comes, so that people don't think they are selling exactly the same product."
Jiang Hui's suggestion immediately silenced Zhu Jiansheng.
But if you think about it for a moment, you will find that this solution does not seem impossible.
“Although Baghdad has the upper hand now, Persia’s land area is very vast, and it is impossible for Baghdad to completely occupy it.”
“In addition, due to the Persian revolution, The combat effectiveness and command capabilities of their combat units were greatly affected, and many commanders left this world.”
"But war can cover up many contradictions and quickly unite Persia." "In this case, the war situation in Persia will usher in a big change sooner or later."
< br>"It will be inevitable to drive Baghdad's troops out of the country by then, and it will even be possible to break into Baghdad."
"Baghdad, which does not have much demand for our weapons now, will not have much demand for our weapons at that time. The attitude will definitely be completely different."
"So whether it is to balance the combat power of both sides, make these businesses more sustainable, or from other perspectives, we can trade with both sides at the same time."
Jiang Hui further explained his thoughts and predictions for the future development of the situation.
At this moment, Zhu Jiansheng was completely moved.
"I will report it to the school tomorrow, and then ask the relevant departments to get in touch and go to the Persian ambassador to communicate this matter in person."
Earning foreign exchange from exports is something that the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery attaches great importance to now. Now that there is hope of a big order coming out, Zhu Jiansheng must be personally involved.
……
For Persia, 1981 was definitely a very painful year.
Because they adopted a rather bizarre foreign policy after the revolution, they had few friends in the international community.
Now that he was caught and beaten by Baghdad again, he looked like the sky was about to fall.
Originally, there were many fighter jets purchased from the United States in Persia, including the F-4D "Phantom" heavy fighter, the F-5E/F "Tiger" light fighter, and the F-14A "Tomcat" heavy fighter , C-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft, AH-1J "Cobra" armed helicopters, etc., its strength is definitely second to none in the Middle East.
However, after the revolution, Persia completely broke with the West. Not to mention continuing to purchase weapons such as fighter jets, it became difficult to purchase the accessories needed to maintain the normal flight of these fighter jets.
Although they are also vigorously promoting the localization of military industry, this takes time.
When he was at his weakest, Baghdad took advantage of it and started a war.
This is equivalent to being drained of blood again.
Especially in the past six months, Persia has lost a lot of military supplies, and the demand for repurchasing related supplies has suddenly increased.
Before, they looked down upon China's military products.
One thing to say is that compared with the aircraft and tanks that Persia purchased from the United States, France and other countries before, the performance of China's military products at this time was indeed lagging behind.
But you can’t buy good things now, so Persia naturally had to make some changes in his thinking.
Zhu Jiansheng combined the various situations that Jiang Hui analyzed for him. Accompanied by personnel from the Fifth Machinery Department, he communicated with the Persian ambassador and finalized the intention to cooperate that day.
In the next few days, the Fifth Machinery Department even organized a negotiation team to have an in-depth exchange with Persia on the purchase of related products.
In the end, Persia felt that among the products that China could currently provide for export, the Humvee military vehicle was the only product with internationally leading technology, so it directly agreed to purchase 5,000 Humvee military vehicles, as well as some other guns, ammunition, armored vehicles, and tanks.
In terms of price, it is naturally impossible to export the prototype at the high price, but the selling price of US$80,000 per unit is already very good for Capital Institute of Technology.
The Humvee military vehicle alone earned US$400 million in foreign exchange at one time. Together with the export of other products, the Fifth Machinery Department brought back US$500 million in foreign exchange for China this time.
Although this news cannot be reported in newspapers and TV stations, units within the system must be more or less aware of the news.
So this time, the Humvee military vehicle immediately became famous among various ministries and high-level officials.
I heard that the chief engineer specifically praised the Capital Institute of Technology and the Hummer design and production team at a meeting.
Under this special background, Zhu Jiansheng ushered in another leap in his life.
On May 31, 1981, the Ministry of Machinery and Industry officially appointed Zhu Jiansheng as Vice President of Capital University of Science and Technology.
At the same time, his position as a school committee member is naturally still there.
Even in order to ensure that the development of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering was not affected, he continued to hold the position of dean concurrently.
In just a few years, he went from being a professor in the Department of Vehicle Engineering to the head of the department, then to the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, then further to a member of the school committee, and now he is appointed as the vice president .
Zhu Jiansheng certainly did not expect that his position would change so quickly one day.
Of course, this also has something to do with the general environment.
Throughout the 1980s, in order to promote the rejuvenation of cadres, some cases that changed faster than Zhu Jiansheng's position would continue to emerge.
Zhu Jiansheng's own technical strength is very strong, and with Jiang Hui's "engine" pushing hard behind him, various results come out every now and then.
Many people cannot produce a few decent results in their lifetime, but in the hands of Zhu Jiansheng, they keep popping up as if they are not rare.
With this kind of talent, there will naturally be more opportunities.
After all, the Fifth Machinery Department also hopes to set an example.
