Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

In the conference room, Xu Huasheng expressed his opinion.

We must build, and we must build more. Four is not too few, and eight is not too many. As for the price, it is also cheap. The things used at home have more advanced performance and are cheaper.

For the price of the bare ship, Xu Huasheng directly quoted 5 billion RMB, less than 1 billion US dollars. It is one-third cheaper than the price Pakistan bought. But the performance is much better than what Pakistan bought. The power system uses advanced steam turbines, and the speed is directly increased to 32 knots.

At the same time, the functions of other systems have also been improved a lot. If Pakistan bought a simplified version, China used the top version. And this ship also reserved a lot of modification space to facilitate the final modification.

Not only is the ship cheap, but the fighter is also cheap. The price of the S-14 used at home is directly halved, only 60 million RMB per aircraft. The price is only 10 million US dollars, and the configuration is higher and the combat effectiveness is stronger.

"Mr. Liu, we can use this ship for a few decades. Even if we don't use it anymore, we can still recover the cost by selling it second-hand and even make money. If our military really doesn't like it after a few decades, it would be a good choice to sell it directly to other countries..."

In the conference room, Xu Huasheng's words made everyone laugh.

Yes, China will really not like it after using it for decades, and it can make money by selling it directly to other countries. This thing is very difficult to build. For some countries with weaker shipbuilding capabilities, they really can't build it even if they are given a few more decades.

China will use it for a few years first. If it really doesn't like it in the future and thinks it is backward, it will directly retire and sell it to its brother countries, and even the entire fleet can be refitted and sold to them.

In the future, China's retired equipment may still be very advanced and useful for many countries.

If no one wants it, it's simple, just retire it and give it to the coast guard. Let the coast guard paint it, drive it out for patrol, and equip it with drones or helicopters. The duty capability is absolutely awesome.

The meeting lasted until very late. After the meeting, Mr. Liu went directly to report the matter. Whether the ship can be built depends on whether the country agrees in the end. After all, China's military expenditure is very low now. Every ship of the navy is expensive. The competition for funds is too fierce, and everyone hates it.

A very simple example, it takes 5 billion yuan to build a large ship. If this 5 billion yuan is given to the Air Force to let the Air Force buy fighters, then a large number of them can be purchased.

For example, the J-10 that is about to be put into service, the military purchase price at that time will be at most 100 million yuan per aircraft, and 5 billion yuan can directly purchase 50 J-10s.

Not to mention the price of the entire fleet, the cost of a fleet is enough for the Air Force to buy hundreds of J-10s. This is the cost of the navy, which is why it is called a big country navy.

Because small countries can't afford to play with the navy at all, this thing is too expensive. If you don't have money to give you an aircraft carrier formation, you can't afford it. The annual maintenance cost of an aircraft carrier formation is very high.

Although China has made a lot of money in the past two years, the national economy is just starting. The country's economic strength is too weak and the military expenditure is too little. Xu Huasheng guessed that even if China approved the construction, it would probably not build many.

However, it should be feasible to build one ship first as a technology verification ship and training ship. Use one ship for technology verification and training first, and when China has money in the future, the technology has been verified and mature, and the soldiers have been trained. Just start the dumpling mode, and a large number of warships can be built in a few years.

Now China is facing a slightly embarrassing problem. It has technology and equipment, but it is poor and has little money. Therefore, economic development is still the most important thing for China in the future.

Only when a country has money can it have enough confidence. Only then can it support more troops and equip more advanced weapons and equipment.

Without money, everything is in vain. How awesome is the Soviet technology, but it is doomed without money.

A large ship stirred the hearts of Pakistan and China. China is entangled, and Pakistan is also entangled. After all, this thing is too expensive, even if Xu Huasheng has reduced the profit a lot, it is still not cheap.

This is true for China, and it is also true for Pakistan. The purchase price of a fleet alone is 5.5 billion US dollars. After the purchase, training costs, maintenance costs, etc. will cost a lot of money every year. Pakistan is not a big dog in the Middle East, and it has too much money.

Pakistan does not have much oil resources, and it cannot make money by selling oil. Although there is coal at home, the coal is the lowest grade lignite, and it has not been mined yet.

If you don’t have much money, you need to be cautious when buying things. After all, Xu HuaSheng's offer for S-14 was only 20 million US dollars.

If 5.5 billion US dollars were used to buy this advanced fighter, it would be enough to buy 275 of them. If Pakistan had 275 advanced fighters with performance no worse than F16. Then the strength of Pakistan Air Force could surpass that of India.

Conflicted, Pakistan is also entangled. Conflicted about being too poor, entangled about too many good things in China.

Busy in entanglement, entangled in busyness, time is also passing quietly.

In China, another Spring Festival is coming.

China is welcoming another Spring Festival, and countless migrant workers are returning home in a mighty way. This year's number of migrant workers returning home is much larger than last year.

This bustle also tells everyone that China's economy this year is much better than last year.

Indeed, much better. In 1993, China's economy can be said to have directly created a miracle, with economic growth reaching an unprecedented 13.4%.

The most terrifying thing is the export volume. In 1993, China's export volume increased many times. In the past 1993, China's total export volume reached 326.7 billion US dollars. Compared with 102.2 billion US dollars in 1992, it has more than tripled.

Not only that, among the export products, the export volume of cheap raw materials has been greatly reduced. Previously, most of China's exported products were the cheapest resources.

Rare earths, oil, minerals, etc.

But this year, most of China's exported products are high-tech products. Automobiles, mobile phones, home appliances, base station equipment, etc.

The industrial structure of export products has undergone major changes.

Among such a large export volume, Huasheng Group is definitely the most dazzling star. Because these exported products, Huasheng Group accounts for more than half. To put it bluntly, the reason why the export volume in 1993 saw such an explosive growth was entirely due to the Huasheng Group. This shows the strength of the Huasheng Group. This is also the main reason why Huaxia fully supports the Huasheng Group. A company that can make money from foreigners is a truly awesome company.
