Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Weidong, you are already a qualified sales director. You have not limited your focus to our company's existing products, and you know how to formulate commercial sales plans based on the market. You have done a great job."

Lin Kaifeng praised Zhou Weidong's plan with a gratified tone, saying it was correct.

Very timely too.

Compared with the drones of the 21st century, the development of model aircraft in the 20th century was booming.

Longguo's knowledge and research on model aircraft began in the 30s.

At that time, model aircraft competition had become a household name.

Under the leadership of the Air Force, each province holds a certain scale of model aircraft performances and competitions every year.

Although Longguo started early in the research and development of model aircraft, it took a detour for a period of time.

It was out of touch with the mainstream development of the world for a certain period of time.

Aircraft models are merely regarded as an auxiliary technology and competition item for military research.

Failure has not been able to tap into the greater commercial value of model aircraft.

The United States and the island countries have tried their best to squeeze out all its value and produce a variety of model aircraft accessories and finished model aircraft toys.

of course.

The commercial development of model aircraft abroad is just beginning.

If we chase them at this time, we can not only catch up with them, but also leave them far behind.

Lin Kaifeng patted Zhou Weidong on the shoulder and said, "Please leave your plan with me for now. I will work out a general direction in a few days, and then we can talk about producing model airplane parts and complete model airplanes."

After seeing Zhou Weidong off, Lin Kaifeng picked up the sales plan and read it again.

Following this sales plan, perhaps the concept of drones can be introduced to Longguo ahead of schedule.

At present, countries around the world are all conducting related drone research, but there is a world of difference between them and real drones.

Large unmanned aircraft are generally used as target aircraft and serve as test targets for the Air Force's new fighter jets, while small unmanned aircraft are considered model aircraft.

Only Lin Kaifeng knew that drones are not only civilian products, but also powerful weapons in the military field.

In some small and medium-sized countries, military drones can even replace the air force and carry out important tasks such as all-weather patrols, precision strikes, harassment behind enemy lines, battlefield communications, etc.

At this point in time, Longguo still maintains the same philosophy as Western countries in the field of drone research.

Just use drones as targets or as disposable attack weapons.

"Chips, sensors, batteries, various materials..."

Lin Kaifeng rubbed his temple. It seemed that Northern Machinery Company had mastered all the prerequisites for manufacturing a simple drone.

The key to drone performance lies in its sensors, chips, processors, batteries, and circuit components.

Northern Machinery Company can produce all of these.

In addition, the flight control system was not a difficult task for Lin Kaifeng.

The most difficult part is probably the navigation system.

To make a modern drone that can fly at high altitude for a long time, conduct real-time reconnaissance, and keep in touch with the operator is no easier than making a car by hand.

Also.

Lin Kaifeng also needs a computer.

The most advanced computer is needed to assist

"Jingle Bell……"

Lin Kaifeng was startled by the rapid ringing of the phone next to him.

Picking up the phone, Lin Kaifeng said somewhat unhappily: "This is Northern Machinery Company. Who are you looking for?"

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I am Dong Guoqiang from the Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory."

"Oh, it's Director Dong. Hello, hello."

Lin Kaifeng calmed down and said with a smile: "Director Dong, what can I do for you?"

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I heard that your Northern Machinery Company has successfully manufactured a car. I guess your company will start mass production of this car soon? Can you leave the engine manufacturing to our Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory?"

While speaking, Dong Guoqiang's tone was very polite.

There is no longer the indifferent attitude he had a year ago.

A year ago, Lin Kaifeng led a group of leaders from Northern Machinery Company to Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory.

We hope that the other party can manufacture some diesel engines for the machinery company.

To be honest, Dong Guoqiang was unwilling to take this business.

Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory relies on Jiangcheng Automobile Factory and is overwhelmed by the annual production tasks.

If it weren't for the profit offered by the machinery company, it would be pretty good.

In addition, the other party spoke politely, so Dong Guoqiang reluctantly freed up a production line.

Over time, things change.

Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Company grew larger and larger and established contact with the Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory.

Only then did Dong Guoqiang feel the urgency.

The funds allocated from above have stopped.

The orders for Jiangcheng Automobile Factory are also gradually decreasing.

Coupled with the instructions from above, the Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory is no longer doing as well as before.

If all the engine OEM orders are taken away by the Shencheng Diesel Engine Factory, the good days of the Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory will come to an end.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you have been to our Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory. Our factory's production capacity has always been obvious to all in the entire system."

"In order to provide the best engines for Jiangcheng Automobile Factory, we have successively introduced a large number of imported machine tools. The number of various new machine tools ranks first in the industry. If you have time, you can bring a team to our factory for a second visit and inspection. I promise that as long as you give the task to us, we will be able to ensure the quality and quantity and produce the automobile engines you need."

Chen Haifeng smiled faintly and said, "Director Dong, this is not the first time we have cooperated. I trust your factory's production capacity."

"As for whether or not to hand over the car engine task to your factory, the company needs to hold a meeting to discuss this matter."

"By the way, since last year, the country has vigorously promoted the shareholding reform of enterprises and fully implemented the separation of government and enterprises. How is your factory doing now?"

"Ugh!"

Dong Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

If it weren't for the separation of government and enterprises and the shareholding reform, the orders of Jiangcheng Automobile Factory would not have decreased so much.

The initial shareholding reform was only carried out on a pilot basis in small state-owned enterprises.

After a year or two, the scope was expanded comprehensively.

The state will continue to allocate a certain amount of funds to some key state-owned enterprises.

Non-key large state-owned enterprises will directly enter into comprehensive shareholding reform.

How to carry out share restructuring? How to divide the equity.

After the reform, will it still be considered a state-owned unit?

A series of problems trouble the heads of countless factories and enterprises.

Dong Guoqiang's Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory is no exception.

Without funds allocated by the state, how will we pay the monthly salaries and bonuses?

Where does the money come from to pay employees’ salaries, maintain production lines, operate factories, and purchase production materials?

After waiting for a while, Lin Kaifeng didn't see any answer from the other party, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Accidents really happen one after another.

The opportunity to invest in Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory may have matured.
