Chapter 749: Taking advantage of Turkey's bargaining chip
"Outside the North Fourth Ring Road..."
Hearing this description, Yao Mengna was immediately shocked:
"Isn't that right next to the school? ? It must be worth a lot of money, right?”
The Fourth Ring Road sounds like it is very outside, but in fact, with the size and population of the capital, this place could not be considered a suburb even in the 1990s.
If it's the South Fourth Ring Road, it's fine. It's not much different from a large rural area, but the North Fourth Ring Road is still different.
Qinghua University, Yanda University, Kunming Lake, Old Summer Palace... are all outside the North Fourth Ring Road.
The current Beijing Airlines and the Beijing University of Science and Technology diagonally opposite are just across the Fourth Ring Elevated Road.
"Uh... no."
Chang Haonan realized that Yao Mengna's understanding was obviously deviant, and quickly waved his hand and continued:
"The land is used exclusively for scientific research sites. Whether it is valuable or not does not mean much to me. Besides, now that Torch Group is here, money is mainly just a number..."
The turnover of Torch Group is not high. , but as a semi-monopoly group, it is not engaged in an asset-heavy industry, but the rate of return is very scary.
Moreover, although they are second-tier state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises in this era generally implement entrusted operations, especially after de-administrative restructuring. Under the condition that profits are guaranteed to be turned over, superior units will basically not interfere in the management of the enterprise. .
Therefore, the treatment of Torch Group, from management to researchers, is generally in line with that of major international companies.
And Chang Haonan actually has nothing to spend money on.
Now, it is no exaggeration for him to say "I am not interested in money".
“That’s not what I meant.”
Yao Mengna shook her head:
“Although it is impossible to exchange that piece of land for money, the higher the value, it does not mean that the above The more you pay attention to us.”
This makes sense, but Chang Haonan still explained with a smile:
"This outside the fourth ring road is not the same concept as the outside of the fourth ring road at Yanda... I say outside the fourth ring road because there are only four rings in Beijing now. In fact, it is quite far. After the fifth ring road is completed in a few years, it should be still there. It has to be outside.”
The Beijing Fifth Ring Road is one of the guaranteed projects for the Olympic bid. It was still in the planning process in 1999, and the groundbreaking would have to wait more than a year.
Most ordinary people who are not very well-informed have at most heard about the expansion of the Outer Ring Expressway, but have no concrete idea.
During the meal after his defense, Tang Lintian directly said outside the Fifth Ring Road because he was directly connected with the urban construction and planning department of the capital, but when it came to Chang Haonan, he still used concepts that are more familiar to ordinary people. .
However, despite what Chang Haonan said, the excitement in Yao Mengna's eyes still did not diminish.
"That's good too. The place is a bit remote and suitable for calming down and doing scientific research. I have always felt that the place where Beijing Airlines is now is a bit too lively. It is not suitable for safety or environmental reasons..."
< br>"Pfft - you said all these nice things by yourself."
Chang Haonan laughed directly after hearing this:
"Besides, how many people are jealous The land for our school... you said it’s worthless.”
Although Beijing Airlines is located farther away than Beijing Normal University and Beijing Post and Telecommunications, which are located near the Second Ring Road. A little, but now the location within the Fourth Ring Road, it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is valuable.
"Otherwise... I must praise my own laboratory."
Yao Mengna was teased by Chang Haonan, but she didn't blush at all. After a short pause, she continued:
"Actually, before I went to college, I always thought that research laboratories were the kind that were located in deep mountains and forests or on isolated islands in lakes, unknown to outsiders. Until my freshman and sophomore years, I I always thought that the school might have that kind of secret laboratory outside the headquarters.”
“It wasn’t until I joined Teacher Du’s research group. When I went there for the first time, I saw that it was right next to our teaching building. It feels like a broken dream.”
“This is inevitable.”
Chang Haonan sat on the sofa again and sighed softly:
"Actually, when Beijing Airlines, including Qinghua University and Yanda University, were first established, the surrounding areas were not what they are now."< br>
“It’s just that the scale of the city is expanding too fast. Just like many airports, they were still in the outer suburbs when they were built. It won’t take many years to be included in the urban area. Our new laboratory, you can see it in the distance now. , it is estimated that in a few years, the surrounding area will also develop."
"This...isn't it..."
Yao Mengna has no idea about what Chang Haonan just said about outside the Fifth Ring Road. But as an outer ring road is being planned, I think it will be very far away.
This time, the latter did not explain anything.
China's development speed after entering the 21st century is probably difficult to imagine even for today's senior leaders, let alone ordinary people like Yao Mengna.
Is the land approved by the capital for the Torch Laboratory located further south than the Shahe campus of Beijing Airlines in the previous life? In the future Aobei plate, that is, near the Olympic Park, it is just a few kilometers away and has just been put into development. In the future, the residential population will exceed that of a certain super community in some small countries...
And, more importantly, as a gathering place for young students and professors, the school actually has strong commercial potential.
Even if a university town is really built in a deserted place, the market will quickly bring various supporting facilities and industries to the surrounding area...
"But you are right. When planning the new laboratory, we can indeed make some visual and auditory separation from the outside world. Although it is impossible to really build it into the deep mountains and old forests, we can refer to it in terms of atmosphere..."
Halfway through, Chang Haonan got a little stuck.
He originally wanted to refer to the 624th place, but he had been to that place many times. Although it was very high-tech in nature, it seemed ordinary and even a bit old-fashioned.
“Like Cold Spring Harbor?”
Yao Mengna suddenly interrupted.
"The area of Cold Spring Harbor is more than ten times that of our land..."
Chang Haonan has naturally heard of the legendary holy place for biological research:
"But the style is okay. Reference..."
"..."
Unconsciously, Chang Haonan chatted with Yao Mengna until noon. The two originally planned to relive the feeling of eating in the school cafeteria together, but just when they were about to go out, a phone call came in at the right time.
Yao Mengna glanced over Chang Haonan's shoulder and found that it should be the red one that was making the sound.
Confidential hotline.
"The big boss is so busy, I'll go down first and wait for you downstairs."
After that, she signaled to Chang Haonan, then opened the door and left the office.
"Hello, Lao Song?"
This phone was only updated this year and now has a caller ID function, so he can see that the call is coming from the Torch Group office.
"Mr. Chang, I asked the legal department and the archives office of the group to check the things you asked me to check before. There are indeed some findings. Do you want to report it on the phone or..."
Chang Haonan hesitated for a moment:
“Let’s wait until I go to the company in the afternoon to talk about it. This matter is not urgent and can only take a day and a half.”
The thing he asked Song Jingming to investigate was naturally to see if there were any chips on hand that could be used in Türkiye.
Although using EU connections to exert pressure may be effective, it is definitely not a good idea.
At first, the relationship between China and the EU is simply in embarrassment...
Anyway, it is a pure relationship of interest, let alone allies, it is difficult to even be regarded as a comprehensive strategic partner. In the literal sense, each takes what he needs and asks the other party to help with this kind of thing, but he still has to pay something accordingly later.
Secondly, due to the existence of Greece, Turkey’s entry into the European Union has been impossible from the beginning. It is completely a unilateral dream. If they wake up too early, it may not be a good thing. .
Therefore, as long as he is not being unilaterally blackmailed like in his previous life, Chang Haonan still prefers direct negotiations.
If nothing else, judging from the subsequent situation, Türkiye can be said to be the most unstable link within NATO.
Although the Huskies of the junior high school are divided into different groups, considering that the current world order is still dominated by the United States, retaining such a troublemaker is generally beneficial to China.
......
After having lunch with Yao Mengna, Chang Haonan asked Zhu Yadan to send him back to the Torch Group.
In fact, he could have called Song Jingming to the school, but after all, he had multiple jobs, so Chang Haonan thought it would be better to separate the laboratory and the enterprise clearly.
"Mr. Chang."
Song Jingming had already prepared the materials. After receiving a call from Chang Haonan asking him to come over, he arrived at the latter's office within a few minutes.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
Song Jingming opened the information and then concluded:
“The most direct relationship is that Ankara University, Middle East University of Science and Technology, Bilkant University and Turkish Aircraft Industries (TAI) are direct customers of our company’s software business department and numerical calculation business department. Among them, Middle East University of Science and Technology has also sent a special Team, come to us for the first computing business training."
"Yes."
Chang Haonan nodded noncommittally:
"Anything else?"< br>
Now is a critical period for TORC Multiphysics to rapidly expand the market, and it is also approaching the turn of the millennium, a stage when everyone believes most in the openness of the Internet. If you use software licenses to pressure people, although it can achieve the effect, it will have disadvantages. More than profit, especially when it involves non-profit research institutions.
TAI is a military-industrial enterprise, so it has a lot of room for maneuver. However, if there is a better way, Chang Haonan still hopes to make a fortune silently.
“Yes.”
Song Jingming nodded, and then said:
“In October 1996, Ankara announced the launch of a military campaign involving the navy, army and air force. The series of main combat equipment is planned to be produced domestically, but as you know, they do not have enough foundation in this area, so they mainly adopt the model of cooperation with foreign countries or imitation production."
"I know this, before. The Guardian 1 rocket launcher exported by the weapons industry to the other side is called T300, but this matter should have come to an end. It seems that the Turkish army has no plans to purchase an updated version? "
Before Chang Haonan was reborn, he had heard some rumors that the T300 was the production technology obtained through the Varyag incident, but he had asked Rui Xiaoting, whom he had met before, to check it out, and found that this model had not actually obtained a license. Rather, it was simply copied and had been in service since the mid-1990s.
There really isn’t much to write about.
“There is indeed nothing here, but there are other aspects.”
Song Jingming explained:
“TAI launched a project to produce domestic utility helicopters and attack helicopters the year before last. In the research and development plan, the cooperation partner is the Italian Agusta Company. Among them, the universal model is the AC139, which has about 27 key patents belonging to us. According to the contract signed during the joint research and development that year, although we cannot sell the AC139 to the Italian party impose restrictions, but can halt their cooperative production and technology transfer.”
"That's all?"
This is indeed a good bargaining chip, and the best thing is that the Torch Group does not have to come forward directly.
But the portion seems to be a bit insufficient.
Song Jingming shook his head this time:
“At least...that’s all that is related to our group. After all, the other party is not a major country, and we have not focused there before. Work has been carried out.”
"Okay, let's do this for now."
Chang Haonan gestured to the other party to leave the information:
"Go and do your work."
