Chapter 512 The Golden Hen
Su Cheng's smile was a little strange, and he looked quite optimistic.
Yan Haibin felt a little sad, and he bent down and went to see the nameplate of the machine next to him.
This is a cured oven, like an enlarged safe, like a small room, all made of alloy, covering an area of more than 10 square meters and a height of more than 2 meters. There is also an independent console the size of a refrigerator next to it. The upper half of the console is full of mechanical buttons, and five instruments of four small and one large are embedded, which looks very stylish.
Not to mention anything else, such a large machine will cost a lot of money even if it sells scrap iron.
However, the 826 Institute has a small fortune. The big guys I bought from the Russians back then were more expensive than the other, and the domestic imitation equipment was not exquisite. They were all known for their durability. Yan Haibin remembered seven or eight such large machines.
After calming down, Yan Haibin looked for the nameplate around the solidification oven. In a moment, he found a palm-sized nameplate on the back of the right, full of foreign characters, either in English or Russian.
Imported goods!
It must be imported from Europe.
Although Yan Haibin, who does not understand foreign languages and is knowledgeable, can still distinguish the differences between the four languages of Japan, Russia, England and South Korea.
Similarly, he also knew that among all kinds of imported goods, European goods have always been one of the best prices.
Yan Haibin's heart beat juliè, and he stood up disguisedly, and smiled and said, "What do I think is that? Foreign things are really good, and generations are better than the next. However, the old goods in our institute are not bad either."
There are only old goods in the 826th century and 1980s. The Soviet Union and Eastern European machinery in the 1970s and 1980s are their main force. American goods in the 1980s can be regarded as high-end treasures, even if they purchase domestic equipment, they have at least four years of service experience.
Su Cheng could not see the expression on his face, but just a skillful smile, saying: "President Yan looked at it. Wang Yun used a lot of new technologies and new ideas in the process flow, and also purchased a lot of new machines. I was so rude to sign at that time. If the 826th Institute could launch it in a civilized manner, it would really reduce the cost of carbon fiber."
Representatives of so many foreign companies gather in Dahua Laboratory because Dahua's carbon fiber is cheap enough, so reducing costs is an extremely important research direction for carbon fiber. If 826 has all such technologies, why would they come to Dahua to pick peaches? It would be almost the same if they dig peach trees.
Yan Haibin heard it and pretended not to hear it. He nodded, and then pretended to be proud and went to see Director Lu. He said all the big words and had to do it. With the current machinery and equipment of the Institute 826 and the technical transformation funds, can it produce carbon fiber?
Squeezing past several white-skinned foreigners, Yan Haibin grabbed Director Lu's thin arm and dragged him out of the crowd.
Because he was so anxious, Director Lu's hairstyle was messy and said dissatisfied: "I'm just hearing people talk about the production process."
"Let's talk about it later. Look at what these machines are we have and which ones are to be purchased, and how much does it cost."
Yan Haibin's voice was thick and his voice was not loud, but Director Lu frowned.
Observing words and expressions is also considered a unique skill for the small army leader. When will he shout "protect and complete the task" and when will he be cute and silly with his eyebrows down? He can't practice it in a few years. Yan Haibin, a demobilized cadre, naturally graduated and became a teacher. When he saw Director Lu's appearance, he knew that the question was coming and asked directly: "How much does it cost?"
"I can't say it." Director Lu showed a little embarrassed.
"I can't say how much?" Yan Haibin asked calmly.
"I haven't come into contact with a few machines, and we don't produce them in China." Director Lu continued to explain: "The production process of carbon fiber I know is different from that used by Dahua."
This is the second time Yan Haibin has heard the word "production technology". Thinking about Su Cheng's words, he felt that Director Lu was telling the truth, so he repeated Su Cheng's words and said: "I guess that the equipment that is lacking must be young and old. It is not real to buy it with money. Tell me, which factory has these things, can you borrow them?"
He holds the title of general manager and does the job of military representative.
Director Lu smiled bitterly: "Borrow it, who should I borrow it?"
The lack of food in the institute is not yesterday and today. Not to mention purchasing machines, it is difficult for each company to even maintain equipment. How could it lend the equipment that it is unwilling to be used by other institutes?
Yan Haibin had no choice but to look back and whisper: "If not, let Director Tang come forward. At worst, after we make money, we will send two of the eliminated old machines out. You first look at the nameplate of the machine and make the situation of qingchu."
"Okay." Director Lu ran around nervously, tiptoing to look at the nameplate above, and sticking his butt to look at the nameplate below, looking like a monkey. Fortunately, foreigners were attracted by Wang Yun's explanation, and no one cared about an unknown Chinese.
Director Tang couldn't wait any longer, so he walked over slowly and asked, "What's the situation?"
Policy-based things such as technical transformation funds and transformation quota establishment are all in the hands of Director Tang. However, helping 826 institutes transform is also Director Tang's job.
Yan Haibin's previous guarantee of "70% sure" has not dissipated. He just pretended that it had not happened before and said, "We want to record the equipment used by Dahua and go back and make a comparison. Depending on the situation, our equipment is still relatively backward."
“How big is the gap?”
Director Lu, who was covered in oil, came back at this time and said in pain: "The gap is very big. Dahua has imported a lot of foreign machines. I think there are German, French, and American and British. The parameters of many equipment are much higher than ours. If you don't change the installation, you may not be able to make this carbon fiber."
"There is not enough funds for technical transformation?"
"I'm afraid I have to apply for more."
“How much do you want?”
Yan Haibin looked at Director Lu, who gritted his teeth and said, "At least 10 million US dollars."
Director Tang felt relaxed after hearing the first half. With the word "USD", his face changed: "10 million! Or USD? Do you think I am a bank? Lao Yan, didn't you tell me that I am 70% sure?"
Yan Haibin thought to himself: If I didn’t say it at that time, I would not have been sure that you would not have come.
In terms of face, he couldn't say that. He could only pretend to be honest: "This is our fault, mainly because the equipment in the institute is too old. This kind of high-tech thing can't catch up if it's a few years behind."
"Don't think about the US dollar. 10 million yuan is not enough. The upper limit of technical reform funds is 3 million, so if it doesn't work, it's fine." Director Tang said very arbitrary.
The military expenditure in 1993 was only more than 40 billion yuan, and it could not be supported without the subsidies for military business. The embarrassment of the institute is just the tip of the iceberg. If it weren't for the relatively important Institute of 826, it would not be possible to change it, Director Tang would not have appeared.
So, Director Lu said 10 million US dollars. Director Tang refused without thinking.
Yan Haibin became nervous. The transformation of Institute 826 depends entirely on the support of the Science and Technology Commission. If Director Tang does not help, it will definitely be a waste of this matter.
Director Lu was also under a lot of pressure. He forced himself to relax and said, "Su Cheng is actually a bit interesting."
"Um?"
"I have seen the history of Dahua Industrial. Sucheng is comparable to a genius in investment. There are few projects he does not make money, and the projects of the liquefied natural gas ship that currently costs a lot of money are about to be completed. No matter how you say it is, it is really amazing." Director Lu shook his head and exclaimed. It seemed that he really admired it.
Director Tang was at the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and was really interested in investment and other things. While recalling, he nodded and said, "It's true."
"This person is used to picking up golden hens, so I can't admire him." Director Lu changed his mind and said, "Dahua Industrial's investment in carbon fiber is definitely more than US$30 million."
"oh?"
"Look at these foreigners, I dare say that it will take less than two or three years to earn back 30 million." Director Lu put it to death and checked the nameplate for a while. He couldn't get the exact number, so he could only make a rough estimate. But if he didn't do so, he could not convince Director Tang. Without the support of the Science and Technology Committee, he could not even get the technology transfer.
Director Tang nodded slowly and said, "Even so, 10 million is too much. Moreover, we don't have US dollars."
"On $10 million, maybe you will get your money back in a year." Director Lu said confidently, but he didn't even believe it himself. Research has always been a loss. It is the nature of research and hosting to find investment, regardless of capitalism or socialism.
Director Tang didn't know what he was thinking.
Yan Haibin gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if 10 million US dollars is not enough. Let's get the technology first, and maybe we can find others to cooperate and save some equipment."
This is something he discussed with Director Lu, and it is used as an alternative plan.
Director Tang was indeed interested and asked: "Who should I find for cooperation?"
"Any other research institutes or other companies are fine."
"Institute 859?" This is another research institute that Director Tang needs to reorganize.
Yan Haibin looks at Director Lu again.
Director Lu said reluctantly as if he had eaten a fly: "It's OK."
Their relationship with the Institute of 859 is obviously not very good.
Director Tang's brows stretched a little, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "There can't be too much foreign exchange, the technical transformation funds can be increased a little. According to the number of research institutes to cooperate, two or three."
This is definitely not enough, but Yan Haibin was very satisfied after he made a hole. He was thinking in his mind that if he could borrow some of Dahua Industrial’s equipment, it would solve the problem.
Several people were thinking about it, and a Dahua employee came over and asked, "Who is Mr. Yan Haibin?"
"I am." Yan Haibin looked at the other party.
Dahua’s employee handed him a notebook and said, “Mr. Su asked me to hand it over to you. According to the nameplate, you can find the price of the equipment inside.”
When Yan Haibin heard this, he wanted to throw out the notebook in his hand.
Director Tang took the notebook from him without hesitation and opened it casually.
I saw a red handwritten numbers and symbols under the color page of a device: $4,500,000.
Director Lu naturally read it: 4.5 million!
Immediately, the gentle and gentle Director Lu jumped up: "Impossible."
