Chapter 287 Army to Civilian, Civilian to Army
General Shen and Hou Haitao looked at each other, and at the same time sighed helplessly. ¤ Sure enough, this kid has no intention of being a soldier.
In fact, this time General Shen came to take a look at Feng Yu by the way. He came to talk to Hou Haitao about a very important matter, which Hou Haitao had always wanted to do.
In the past, Bingfei Factory was a military enterprise that produced fighter jets. It was considered one of the early military enterprises in China. During the last enterprise reform, according to the requirements of the above, the army was transferred to the civilian population.
At that time, Bingfei Factory only started the automobile project. They thought that relying on their aircraft engine production technology, it would be easy to produce automobile engines, and they would definitely make a lot of money.
But I didn't take into account that the Bingfei Factory is too close to FAW, and the cars produced have no characteristics, and the sales are not satisfactory. Although they didn't lose money, they couldn't make much money.
They also developed a small aircraft project, trying to make money from it, but it was still half dead. As for the helicopter project, although it has been retained, there are no civilian orders at all.
If it wasn't for the huge profits made on the humidifier, the Icefly Factory would have been the same as in the previous life. Even the helicopter project would eventually be converted to civilian use to ease the economic pressure.
To put it bluntly, when transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy, you don’t know how to make products cater to the market and consumers. No matter how good your technology is, you can’t make money if you don’t know how to sell.
But this is still a good thing. Many transformed enterprises eventually went bankrupt. If they did not go bankrupt, they might drag down the local government. There were many such examples in previous lives.
Feng Yu actually despised the thinking of the leaders at that time. He obviously had good military production capacity, but he didn't know how to use it to make money.
Look at the United States, look at the Soviet Union, they are both big arms exporters, as long as they sell obsolete products, it can ensure that the technology will not be leaked. It can also recover costs.
The leaders of Huaxia insisted not to sell weapons, thinking that it would not be a peaceful country. The surrounding small countries have been clamoring for the China threat theory, especially the island countries, South Korea, Malaysia and other countries. It's so difficult that if you don't sell weapons, they won't target you?
The shit pot is still on the head, that is to say, you. If you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuses? Many people can't figure it out, or there is still a gap in their thinking.
By doing so, those countries can hold back China's economic development without paying a dime. Why not do it?
The transition from military to civilian has transformed two-thirds of military enterprises into private enterprises, but how many have succeeded? Less than one tenth. They don't know at all that if the original military technology is converted into civilian use, they don't even know what to do at all.
As a result, a strange phenomenon emerged, that is, when a product is popular in the market, there will be a bunch of other brands of the same product, and then everyone will not make money. Lose money together!
Originally, the transformation of Bingfei Factory was not too successful. Although it did not lose money, it did not make much money. But since the year before last, the profits of Bingfei Factory have risen sharply. Because of the humidifier item. Later, an ultra-high-power electric furnace was purchased, which overcame the long-standing problem and reduced the production cost of the helicopter a lot.
Only then did the leaders at the top pay attention to the Bingfei Factory again, and felt that Hou Haitao was very capable. But soon. Hou Haitao surprised them again, and even got a lot of Soviet aircraft manufacturing technology, especially in terms of engines. This is very important to the country.
But Bingfei Factory no longer has such an advanced laboratory.
So Shen Cheng took away the aircraft's engine technology, including the prototype of the engine, with a single order.
But Hou Haitao then got the helicopter manufacturing technology, which is specialized in the ice flying factory, and there is no reason to take it away again.
However, the R&D and production of helicopters requires too much funds, and the Icefly Factory does not have enough money, so they can only report to the higher authorities, hoping that the higher authorities will allocate funds.
In fact, Hou Haitao's ultimate goal is to turn the Bingfei factory into a military enterprise again. Although the status of Bingfei Factory is relatively special at this time, it is still incomparable with that before the transformation.
In the past, not to mention the city, the province couldn't control the Bingfei factory, but now, the city can intervene for a little bit of land. What makes Hou Haitao most dissatisfied is that their Bingfei factory now needs to pay taxes, and the proportion is not low, but the city only collects taxes and does not care about the production and operation of Bingfei factory, and there is no support policy at all. Compared with municipal enterprises, Bingfeichang was raised by a stepmother.
Now the opportunity finally came, Hou Haitao obtained the technology of the MiG series through Feng Yu's hand, which made the higher authorities attach great importance to it. Hou Haitao wants to turn the Ice Factory into a military enterprise again, and the above is also considering it.
This time General Shen came to talk to Hou Haitao on behalf of the military, whether the military and civilians can work together, half military, half civilian, just like those military enterprises in island countries and Europe and the United States.
Of course, Bingfei Factory no longer needs to pay taxes, and can also get a lot of preferential policies. At the same time, Hou Haitao's enjoyment of less general treatment will become a real minor general.
This point has been confirmed above. What Hou Haitao wants to fight for is that the military and the civilians should not be separated, that is, the name and policies of the military, and the support of civilians.
He remembered talking to Feng Yu last time that Mitsubishi, Fuji, Nikon, etc. in the island country used to be military enterprises. Money is used to subsidize military research. Once a war breaks out, military products can be produced in the shortest possible time!
Mitsubishi, which makes tanks, Fuji, which makes airplanes, Nikon, which makes scopes, produces trucks, cars, cameras, etc., which are very popular in the world and make a lot of money.
The military-civilian combination is an idea mentioned by Feng Yu. He said that it is the method currently adopted by developed countries in Europe and the United States, and it is extremely successful. In China, there is no precedent for success. Feng Yu said that if Hou Haitao can succeed, then Hou Haitao will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of China.
At that time, Feng Yu just talked about it casually, but Hou Haitao remembered it in his heart, and he has been working hard for it.
Now that he has seen the light, of course he will not give up. But the leaders above are also very embarrassed, there is no such precedent.
Military enterprises are military enterprises, and private enterprises are private enterprises. How can they be confused? Although there are foreign countries, they are foreign countries and may not be suitable for Huaxia!
In particular, Hou Haitao wanted the name and treatment of a military enterprise while also producing civilian products. This investment was not a small amount, and the higher authorities were still arguing about it.
In the end, after discussion, the above-mentioned leaders believed that the ice factory could be used as a pilot project. If successful, it would be able to avoid the failure of those military enterprises in transformation, relieve economic pressure, and even create higher economic value.
Feng Yu had no idea that his casual remarks had brought such a big change to Bingfei Factory and China's military industry reform. When Hou Haitao and General Shen reported their work in detail, Feng Yu was on the news, the great man is on his southern tour! (To be continued.)
