Chapter 318 Special Advisor

It is relatively difficult for outsiders to inquire about some information about China.

But even if the personnel within the system do not have very accurate information, it is relatively simple to make some assumptions based on various situations they have learned before.

Just like Chen Qi from Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory, he has a lot of contacts with Capital Institute of Technology.

In this case, he knew a little bit about the fact that the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory under the Capital Institute of Technology was responsible for the development of a new model of intercontinental ballistic missile launch vehicle.

Of course, he is not stupid, and he will definitely not say these things casually to others.

Otherwise, he will go in accidentally. He still has this sense of confidentiality.

Although he won't say anything casually, it doesn't mean that he doesn't take any actions.

"Xiao Jiang, now Ligong Special Vehicle Factory, FAW and Second Automobile Works are developing heavy truck projects. I think with the rapid development of China's economy, the demand for trucks must be increasing."

“Our Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has also officially entered the field of truck production. What do you think?”

Although he already has two products, BJ212 and BJ310, and has a joint venture factory with American AMC, Chen Qi's thoughts have not stopped there.

He hopes that the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant can become the leader of China's automobile industry under his leadership.

One day, when the scale of their factory completely surpasses that of FAW and Second Automobile Works, then it does not seem impossible to ask the Ministry to upgrade the administrative level of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, right?

Otherwise, why is FAW a deputy ministerial-level enterprise, while their Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is only a department-level enterprise?

In the development of passenger cars, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is already at the forefront, and Chen Qi is confident that he will continue to suppress FAW and Second Automobile Works.

But in terms of commercial vehicles, the gap with its rivals is still relatively large.

"The demand for trucks will definitely grow in the future. Director Chen feels confident that he can do it well, so naturally he can."

Although Chen Qi was calling Ask for your own opinion, but in fact the other party must have made a decision in his mind and does not really want to listen to Jiang Hui's opinion.

“I think so too, so I plan to unite some other factories and work together to establish a truck company.”

“Is BMW preparing to enter the field of truck production in the future?”


Chen Qi is still very confident in Jiang Hui's technical level and feels that if he can bring Jiang Hui to his side, it will definitely be beneficial to the development of new products.

But Jiang Hui already has a BMW car in his hands. If he wants to build a truck himself, then most likely he will not cooperate with the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory.

Chen Qi still has this kind of self-knowledge.

“BMW’s development focus in the next ten years will be passenger cars, and commercial vehicles will not be considered in the short term.”

“At present, we are only developing various types of engines. It consumes a lot of time, so we don’t have the energy to directly enter the production of commercial vehicles.”

Jiang Hui gave his answer very definitely.

There is no need to hang on to Chen Qi at this time.

“I understand what you are saying, but if BMW itself does not produce commercial vehicles, can it consider cooperating with us to produce them?”

Although this possibility is not very likely. Gao, but Chen Qi did not give up.

“BMW will focus on BMW engines in the future. These engine products will not only be supplied to BMW, but will also be considered for external sales.”

"It is possible that we can have some cooperation in the engine field in the future."

The situation in the domestic commercial vehicle market will be very complicated in the future.

Jiang Hui is a foreign-funded car company and has no plans to directly participate.

But selling core parts such as engines and gearboxes can be considered.

Anyway, as long as you master the core technology, you will still make a lot of profits even if you don't produce complete vehicles.

"Commercial vehicles mainly use diesel engines, and the use of gasoline engines should continue to decrease."

"But the opposite is true for passenger vehicles, and gasoline engines are mainly used."

>"Will BMW also develop diesel engines in the future?"

Chen Qi was not disappointed by Jiang Hui's answer, but was quite interested.

Jiang Hui can assist Zhu Jiansheng in developing the Ligong Special Vehicle Factory into what it is now. There are also historical achievements such as BJ212 and Hummer military vehicles for reference. As long as Jiang Hui says that he will develop diesel engines properly, Chen Qi believed that Jiang Hui could achieve some results.

“Most domestic passenger cars use gasoline engines and rarely use diesel engines.”

“But the situation in Europe is a bit different. Diesel engines will be used on a large scale in passenger cars in the future. The possibility is also very high.”

“So BMW will not only develop gasoline engines, but also diesel engines.”

Jiang Hui once again gave the affirmative. reply.

Having already said this, Chen Qi didn’t dwell on it anymore.

It is enough to arrange for people to keep in touch with BMW and see how to maintain cooperation on diesel engines in the future.

......

Just after finishing the conversation with Chen Qi, the Seventh Machinery Department arranged for personnel to come directly to Jiang Hui's office and asked him to go directly to the capital for a meeting.

This time, Jiang Hui was immediately confused.

Can’t you make a phone call?

How do you directly arrange for someone to come over and ask you to follow him to the capital immediately?

With all kinds of questions, Jiang Hui followed the people from the Seventh Machinery Department to Yangcheng and took a plane straight to the capital.

"Xiao Jiang, I invite you here this time, mainly because I want you to serve as our consultant in the special arms purchase negotiations with the Food Country."

After arriving at the Seventh Machinery Department, the person responsible for receiving Jiang Hui They are Vice Minister Chen Erdong and Chief Engineer Li Darui.

When the two of them were working on missile launch vehicles at the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, Jiang Hui had been in contact with them, but they didn't have a particularly in-depth relationship with them.

Now when the special arms purchase negotiations of the Big Food Country were mentioned, Jiang Hui was really a little confused.

But at least he knew that there was a special missile deal between China and the Big Food Country in history in the 1980s, creating a foreign trade contract with a sky-high price of 100 million US dollars for a missile.

That incident is definitely of extraordinary significance to the development of China's military industry.

After that incident, China's enthusiasm for exporting high-end military equipment has become much higher than before.

The most important thing is that with such a fund, many projects that are on the verge of being discontinued can continue to be studied.

This is of great significance for the future development of China's military industry.

“Leader, there should still be no direct contact between the Big Food Country and us, right?”

“I heard that they are in the Middle East and are not very friendly to us. It’s in a friendly state.”

Although he already had a rough guess in his mind, Jiang Hui still pretended that he didn’t know anything.

Otherwise there is no way to explain it.

"It's exactly what you said. The relationship between us over the past few decades cannot be said to be very good. It can even be said to be very poor." "There is very little contact between us."
< br>Chen Erdong did not deny this.

The most important industry of the Big Food Country is the oil industry, and it makes a good living by exporting crude oil to the international market.

It just so happens that at this time, China’s most important export product is crude oil.

In addition, in the past few decades, the relationship between China and the United States has not been good for most of the time. As a small follower of the United States, Dashi naturally has a very bad relationship with China.

"However, the relationship between countries is not a simple mathematical problem, and there is no standard answer."

"According to the information we have learned, the urgency of purchasing medium-range ballistic missiles is relatively high among big food countries. , and also communicated with the United States, but was rejected.”

“In this case, they are definitely prepared for heavy bleeding when they come to us for purchase.”

“ There are currently many research and development projects in the Seventh Machinery Department, but due to insufficient funds, they have reached a state of near stagnation."

"If we export some missiles, we can get a lot of funds, which will allow us to develop various missiles. Advanced projects can continue to develop at a high speed. This is something worth trying.”

"So after Dashi took the initiative to contact us, our department quickly held a meeting to discuss it, and then reported it to our superiors again."

"We will prepare to fly to Dashi the day after tomorrow. Let’s conduct the first round of communication in the cities to their south.”

“If everything goes well, they will soon arrange for people to come directly to our place to conduct inspections and discuss further cooperation plans.”

Chen Erdong quickly introduced the situation to Jiang Hui.

"Leader, I haven't had much contact with the arms trade before. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for me to serve as a consultant? Can some experts from the Lifan Academy provide more meaningful information? Constructive comments? ”

Jiang Hui didn't get carried away just because the other party suddenly invited him to be a consultant.

Although I actually know some situations in the arms market, people in this generation don’t know.

So if you should be humble, you must still be humble.

Take this opportunity to find out the real reason why the Seventh Machinery Department invited you.

“If you have little experience, there will be no one in the country who has more experience than you.”

“We initially cooperated with the United States to deliver the BMW 70 to Algeria as a military aid project, and subsequently exported various military products such as BMW X and 107 rocket launchers to Algeria, creating huge foreign exchange earnings for us.”

“ These contributions are all yours, and no one can erase them.”

“When Zhu Jiansheng, Vice President of the Capital Institute of Technology, talked to me before, he also mentioned the idea of ​​broadening his horizons and expanding the export of military products. , which mentioned the practice of exporting advanced products such as missiles to some special countries in exchange for large amounts of foreign exchange."

"It is said that these ideas were first proposed by you."

"So this time Dashiguo communicated with us, I immediately thought of inviting you over for a good reference."

"After all, your international vision is something that many of our domestic experts do not have."

When Chen Erdong said this, Jiang Hui was no longer modest.

If it can help China obtain more foreign exchange income, there is definitely no harm in it.

There is actually no big difference between selling a missile for US$100 million and selling it for US$200 million for a big food country.

After all, what they want is a strategic deterrent weapon. If China sells it too cheaply, many people may not think that these missiles can be very powerful.

But they are expensive. Considering that the missiles sold can carry special warheads, others should carefully consider whether one of these missiles can carry special warheads.

In this way, the deterrent effect will naturally increase.

Presumably the food country can also think of this.

"Leader, did Dashiguo say that they want to purchase any specific products?"

Since you want to serve as a consultant, you naturally have to get into the situation quickly.

If I don't show off my abilities properly, I won't be able to forgive the Seventh Machinery Department for calling me back from the deep city all the way.

"Director Jiang, let me talk about this matter."

The chief engineer and Jiang Hui are old acquaintances. When it comes to specific product models, he is naturally the one to do it. Responsible.

His opinions are very important, including which products can be sold in the future and which ones cannot.

“For Dashi, purchasing ordinary short-range missiles is not particularly meaningful.”

"Their main purpose is to bring a certain strategic deterrent to Baghdad, Persia, and even the Hebrew State. Therefore, the advanced missiles purchased must be able to include the land areas of these countries within the range."< br>
“Products like intercontinental ballistic missiles can definitely meet the purpose, but they also know that we are unlikely to sell them.”

“So what the other party wants to negotiate with us most now is medium-range ballistic missiles. Missiles, the kind that can carry special warheads. "

Li Darui also quickly analyzed and confirmed the various situations in Dashi in the past two days. Based on the local situation, the demands made by them are as follows. made a basic judgment.

“If it is a medium-range ballistic missile, then there is probably no way in the world to obtain it from any other source except us.”

"In this case, our asking price must be higher. The other party has no intention of purchasing this strategic weapon at a cheap price."

Combining the information just now, Jiang Hui knew this at once The purchasing demands of a big food country are similar to those in history.

It’s just that the time has been advanced.

This is actually a good thing for China.

Because the international environment faced by Dashi during this period was even worse, Persia and Baghdad were fighting in full swing.

On the contrary, after a few years, the situation will be almost under control, and the food country may not be so worried.

A big businessman wants to give money, and the Seventh Machinery Department invites Jiang Hui as a consultant for negotiations. At this time, Jiang Hui must fight for China's interests.

Why should you be polite to others when you can easily gain a large sum of foreign exchange?

Anyway, people’s money is really just picked up from the ground. It is definitely a win-win choice for China to use the strategic weapons that people really want in exchange for a huge sum of foreign exchange.

“If the price is too high, what if we scare people away and go directly to American arms dealers to purchase, wouldn’t it be worth the loss for us?”

Li Darui asked a little worriedly.

Li Darui is definitely not the only one who has similar questions.

Even Jiang Hui heard that China had offered a sky-high price of 100 million yuan per piece in history, so he thought of 100 million yuan for one piece, and also gave the other party room to bargain.

As a result, the other party directly said that it was 100 million US dollars a piece, and they had no problem!

It can be seen that China still does not have an accurate grasp of some of the mentality of the big dogs, and it does not have a clear understanding of the influence of its own weapons.
