Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 316

“Our two parties can follow your cooperation with Pakistan for joint research and development, and jointly own the technology.” Alpha looked at Zheng Yucheng and said sincerely.

Iran lacks spare parts for F-14 fighters. If China has units that can successfully imitate them, many of their fighters can fly into the sky again.

Zheng Yucheng looked at each other, feeling a little moved.

Originally, they were very fascinated by this fighter, but now that the Iranians cooperate, they will naturally pay a large part of the funds.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng’s expression, before waiting for him to speak, he said, “General, I’m very sorry, we are not interested in this kind of fighter for the time being.”

As soon as the words came out, both sides looked at Xie Kai in amazement.

not interested?

“The third generation of heavy fighters is not a project that our unit can currently support. Without national funding support and supporting technical systems, there is no way…”

“We can spend part of the funds, part of the technology!” Alpha looked at Xie Kai dissatisfied.

What is this kid thinking?

The cooperation between Base 404 and the Iraqis has a lot to do with F-14.

“How much money can your country contribute? Tens of billions of dollars of foreign exchange reserves of the Pahlavi dynasty have been frozen by Western countries, and hundreds of billions of investment in the United States and Europe will not be returned to your country…” Xie Kai looked at Alpha, one The face said calmly.

Iran does not have much funding.

If they have money, Iranians will not stay in the base all the time.

“We have oil! Oil can be used to support this project. At present, international oil prices have been rising!” Hazari said with a fist clenched.

Iran’s oil reserves rank among the top several in the world. However, the United States joins Western countries to sanction Iran under the control of Khomeini. Even major Asian oil importers such as Japan and South Korea no longer purchase Iranian crude oil. .

“But your oil can’t be sold, and there is no way to turn it into a US knife.” Xie Kai said, “The relationship between your country and Western countries has not changed so far…”

“Your country’s demand for oil has been increasing.” Alpha did not expect that Xie Kai was able to pinpoint the problems Iran is currently facing.

“my country’s oil production is also constantly increasing, and China is even capable of exporting oil!” Xie Kai hardly gave Zheng Yucheng and others a chance to interrupt.

The oil-for-equipment plan is feasible in the short term.

But there is no way to do this directly with 404. Before the domestic automobile strategy is implemented, it is impossible for the demand for oil to increase too much in the short term.

The warplane project, with tens of billions of dollars invested at every turn, is impossible for the 404 base to be able to support it.

The Iranians did not expect that they thought they had an important bargaining chip in their hands, but the other party would not buy it at all.

“International oil prices are indeed rising, which is why the Middle East countries support Saddam to continue the war with your country. Iraq and Iran, the two major oil producing countries, have problems with their oil exports. Other oil exporting countries have benefited. Even the Soviet Union. , Followed by gaining huge benefits.” Xie Kai’s words made the Iranian look embarrassed.

Internationally, there are mixed praises and criticisms about the Iran-Iraq War. Countries such as the West are suffering from rising oil prices and naturally hope that the war will end.

Oil exporting countries, however, are not willing to see the end of the war.

Both Iran and Iraq are among the top oil producing countries.

Especially the Soviets, their economy has always been supported by oil and gas exports. The original oil price cut, the domestic economic difficulties of the Soviet Union, and many military projects with huge funding requirements made the domestic economy of the Soviet Union even worse.

With the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War and the rise in international oil prices, the Soviets are the happiest.

Therefore, even if Iraq and Iran were unable to pay for the goods, they did not hesitate to sell the equipment to the two countries and let them continue.

Whether it is Iran or Iraq, by now, it has become somewhat unsupportable.

“What do we want oil for? Set up another company to take charge of this business? If the two barrels of oil don’t use our oil, how can we change it into funds? Should we set up an oil refinery by ourselves and then sell the oil? “Xie Kai’s series of questioning kept Zheng Yucheng and others unable to figure out his specific thoughts.

The oil-for-equipment plan was originally proposed by Xie Kai, but was rejected by members of the management committee such as Zheng Yucheng, who is considered to be a country with a vast land and rich resources.

Now that the Iranians have raised it again, Zheng Yucheng and others are tempted by the fighter project, and Xie Kai resolutely resists it.

“Before, you asked them to exchange oil for our equipment. It was you who proposed and you were against it. What do you want?” Zheng Yucheng was very dissatisfied with Xie Kai.

The young man is a bit too much now.

Is it to test his position in the hearts of everyone?

“Before and now, the Iranians wanted to engage in the F-14 fighter imitation project. From the aerodynamic layout to the power system, to the avionics system, the fire control system, the supporting weapon system, etc., how much do we need to invest? Dismount, everyone should be aware that the technical indicators are too high and it is a very huge challenge to the domestic aviation industry.” Xie Kai sighed.

For imitation F-14 fighters, he is not optimistic at all.

The technical difficulty is too high, the investment is too large, and the final benefit is too low.

“We can’t just watch that cooperation can’t be achieved? If we don’t agree, they can find other units in the country to cooperate.” Bai Yanjun said worriedly.

“In addition to us, how many other companies can get the money to build their own projects?” Xie Kai asked Bai Yanjun back. “Imitated it is basically used as a technical reserve.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“The above is relatively supportive of the oil-for-equipment plan. This is a huge opportunity for the development of our base.” Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, hoping to see his inner thoughts from the expression on this kid’s face.

However, this kid has no expression at all.

“We only need money!” Xie Kai said firmly. “The base does not have the mind to manage these businesses. Two barrels of oil are not a system with us, and their lives are not easy on their own.”

The automobile strategy has not been implemented, and the domestic profit of two barrels of oil is far less bullish than the most profitable domestic unit in the later generations.

Of course, the current two barrels of oil have not yet come out, but the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.

“In other words, unless they sign a contract with a third-party company, the oil will be imported by a third-party company and then settle with us?” Wang Guilin understood what Xie Kai meant.

“No, we cooperate with Iran and will not join a third party. The Iranians give money and we give equipment! They cooperate with other companies and have nothing to do with our base.” Xie Kai said, shaking his head.

Wang Guilin’s words made him a little tempted.

If he finds someone to set up this company, then it will be convenient.

Control the Iranians’ oil imports and build a good relationship with the Iranians. When the international oil price rises and then desperately extract oil, a barrel of oil will only make two or three dollars, that is a very large amount of money.

It is impossible for a person without selfishness.

Especially in the current position.

In the end, Xie Kai gave up this tempting idea again.

“Both Iraqis and Iran have abundant oil. If we reach a cooperation with them, not only can we obtain crude oil, but we can also use such cooperation to export our oil equipment to Iran and Iraq…” Zheng Yucheng thought more. .

In other words, this is the idea of ​​Long Yaohua and others.

The above hopes to achieve oil-for-equipment cooperation, for this.

Petroleum equipment, it is difficult for the country to occupy the market dominated by Europe and the United States. With the export of petroleum equipment, it is a huge promotion for the entire system of the domestic petroleum industry.

“It doesn’t matter to us. If the above hopes to do this, they can take the lead. The Iranians pay for the oil, and the Ministry of Petroleum Industry will settle the funds to us…” Xie Kai’s vision was not high.

He is even more worried that the Ministry of Petroleum Industry will pit 404 at that time. It will not be a problem for Iranians to pay for oil. However, if oil is to become a funding, it must pass through the refinery under the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, and then be sold to 404. In such a large circle, as long as there is a problem, the funds will not be available.

404 is impossible for every system in the country to occupy a part of the business.

In that way, it’s all about death, and eventually there will be enemies everywhere.

“You could have mentioned it before.” Zheng Yucheng didn’t know how to convince Xie Kai, “You think about this matter again? We mean it can be done this way, but we will set up a special resource import and export company. Whether it is Soviet or Soviet In the NATO camp, it is difficult to obtain a market for our equipment. Potential customers are the Middle East, Africa, South America and other economically underdeveloped places. These countries in need have very poor economic strength, and we can build a comprehensive economic and military Cooperation……”

Zheng Yucheng said to Xie Kai patiently.

Oil-for-equipment is just one kind of this huge plan.

“You have also said before that the per capita share of our domestic resources is too low. We have looked for professional personnel. For various resources, the per capita share of our domestic resources is not at the top of the world…” Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, There was hope in his eyes.

They really figured it out now.

“The funds in the hands of the base need to be invested to obtain greater profits. The domestic mines are meaningless. We have to seek resources internationally…” Qi Yuanzhi also spoke.

The people in the management committee still have a foresight in this regard.

Xie Kai looked at them, frowning and thinking, if it is true, it will not be a bad thing for the future country.

Every year, China imports hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore, and imports a lot of other resources.

Whatever China buys, the price rises internationally. The entire world economy is developing slowly relying on the Chinese market.

“Investment of funds is not a short-term return.” Xie Kai said worryingly, “Investing in these is indeed profitable. Investing abroad also carries a very large risk. Once the other party’s government falls…”

“That is the next thing. Once there is cooperation in this area, you must consider the risk issue.” Seeing Xie Kai’s looseness, Wang Guilin said hurriedly.

This matter is of great importance and cannot be handled by the 404 family.

Moreover, various resources also need to cooperate with the Ministry of Mines, etc., and require strong support from above.

“The funding problem is not a problem. The National Bank can lend us low-interest loans, as long as it does not exceed the funds in our hands, there is no problem.” Wang Guilin continued.

In this way, 404 has nothing to worry about in these areas.

“Iraqis also hope to use oil to pay for the part. After the war for so many years, both countries are poor and it is difficult to sell oil.”

“Can our base control that company? The above will not interfere with this company?” Xie Kai asked.

Ownership is the most important.

“We control the head office and open branches, such as Petroleum, and the companies related to the Ministry of Petroleum Industry each occupy a portion of the shares…” Zheng Yucheng said. “The control of the company is naturally not handed over to other units easily.”

Under these conditions, if Xie Kai objected, it would be meaningless.

Low-interest loans from the National Bank have already subsidized 404 in disguise.

404 huge funds, using these aspects of investment, not only has a profit, but also guarantees the safety of funds, and finds overseas sources for the country’s mineral resources.

“If this is the case, the plan is okay, as long as R&D funding is not lacking, there is no problem.” Xie Kai nodded and said.

In fact, it is not that there is no idea in my heart, but it is meaningless to say this kind of idea now.

404 has too little money in his hands. Otherwise, he should invest in Vale or Rio Tinto, so as to avoid the fact that the little devil used China to import more than half of the world’s iron ore and continue to increase prices, but China does not have any bargaining power.

“The new company, ready to send your mother to take charge…” Wang Guilin revealed to Xie Kai a piece of news that Xie Kai never expected.

Xie Kai froze for a moment, and immediately objected, “My mother is not studying business management or economics and trade!”

“It’s better to ask her what she meant.” Zheng Yucheng said with a smile.

Looking at the other people, they all smiled at Xie Kai.

Obviously these old guys have discussed it, and Xie Kai also knows that they are trying to make themselves contribute to this matter.

“That is also a subordinate unit of the base, responsible for our cooperation with overseas resources. This is a third-party company that trades weapons and equipment between the base and other countries…” Zheng Yucheng and others obviously have a preliminary plan.

It’s useless for Xie Kai to oppose it.

Besides, he did not intend to refute.

Why did the management committee let his mother take charge of the company? Xie Kai felt like a mirror in his heart. Liu Xu was just a manager on the bright side. In fact, Xie Kai controlled it behind the scenes.

But he has no experience with this kind of international trade at all.

Xie Kai has no interest in this kind of position. When you are ready to communicate with your mother, if your mother is really interested, you can go out and start another company, which is much better than mixing in the system.

“Let’s talk about this. The Iraqis are also going to pay part of it with oil? If there is too much oil, can we digest it domestically?” Xie Kai is worried about this.

“Oil for equipment, there are additional conditions, our domestic oil equipment, some post-war reconstruction work on both sides after the end of the Iran-Iraq War…” Wang Guilin said again.

Xie Kai’s eyes widened.

He never expected that these old guys were not short-sighted, but long-sighted.

The problem is that these old guys should not have considered that after the Iran-Iraq War, the U.S. will take action against Saddam. Although the Gulf War has only been fought for a few months, the ground war only lasts for 100 hours, but the U.S. Has been bombing Iraq.

Iran will not deal with the entire Western countries. At that time, will the Chinese engineering company make money in Iran and Iran?
