Chapter 1602 Six Military Automobile Plants

In mid-June, Duan Yun welcomed a distinguished guest.

"Mr. Duan, let's meet again!" When the visitor entered Duan Yun's office, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

It was none other than Xu Shaoqiang from the Poly Group.

"Hello Director Xu!" After seeing Xu Shaoqiang, Duan Yun immediately stood up and stretched out his hand.

Counting this time, the two have met for the third time.

When Duan Yun sought Poly Group to invest in his Longteng Co., Ltd., the main purpose was to find a backer from a central enterprise. However, since the cooperation between the two parties, the benefits obtained from Poly Group are far more than Duan Yun imagined.

The most important of these is the license obtained by Duan Yun for private enterprises to enter the automobile industry. In addition, the chip factory of Duan Yun Tianyin Group has also begun to have the opportunity to obtain military orders and produce some military chips.

In fact, compared with civilian chips, military chips do not require too high process technology. For many domestically-made aircraft, ships and missiles, chips with an 8-micron process are sufficient, and military chips pursue more. It is stability and reliability, but performance is second.

In fact, if it is just chips, several domestic military enterprises can produce chips that meet the needs of the military. There is no need to hand over the order to Duan Yun. However, Poly Group's doing so is also a gesture, that is, they value Tianyin very much. The technical strength of the group is willing to provide some support to Tianyin Group, so that Tianyin Group can make some contributions in China's military technology field.

The reason why military enterprises such as Poly Group are willing to support private enterprises to engage in military technology research and development has something to do with the current domestic background. In the early days of the country, because of the serious comprador thinking, in line with the thinking that building is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting, some people in China advocated mass production. In the 80s, when China and the United States were in the honeymoon period, Americans were even willing to sell F16 fighter jets to China. Even the French company Dassault also brought their main combat aircraft Mirage 2000, which also made domestic Many people in China think that there is no need to engage in independent military research and development, and that the dream of a top military power can be realized through buying, buying, and buying.

It is precisely because of this that domestic military spending was once reduced in the 80s, and military technology progress was slow. When international military powers generally equipped third-generation fighter jets, and even when the United States had developed the fourth-generation F4 fighter jet, it was still the second-generation fighter that guarded China's sky. generation of J-22 and J-2 jet fighters.

The domestic turmoil in the late 80s, like a pot of cold water, woke up many people who had good wishes for developed countries in Europe, America and the West. It also made domestic senior leaders feel a strong crisis. Military high-tech Autonomy has become the consensus of most people.

However, due to the country's weak family background, there is not much capital and foreign exchange invested in the military field, and military technology research and development has been in a trough for many years due to insufficient funds, and the gap with the world's advanced military technology is getting wider and wider.

Therefore, at this time, the growing private enterprises have also attracted the attention of the country's high-level officials, especially companies with capital and technical strength like Tianyin Group. Defense technology has a certain boost.

However, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the country to allow Tianyin Group to participate in the research and development of top-level strategic weapons, but private enterprises can choose to join in the second-level military projects.

"Mr. Duan is very busy recently. I heard that Shenzhen just organized a Sino-Soviet auto industry exchange meeting some time ago, and your Tianyin Group is one of the organizers?" After greeting Duan Yun and sitting down, Xu Shaoqiang immediately asked road.

"Director Xu, do you even know about this?" Duan Yun was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

Because Duan Yun held a cross-border exchange conference on the surface, but in fact it was just to pave the way for the introduction of Soviet technical experts to work in China, so Duan Yun was very low-key in the previous two conferences, and did not ask any media to visit and report , including local newspapers and TV stations in Shenzhen.

"Nearly thousands of Soviet experts came to visit China at the same time, do you think this matter will not attract the attention of the country?" Xu Shaoqiang said with a smile.

"Director Xu, in fact, I just hope to carry out technical exchanges with the Soviet Union and learn from each other's strengths..." Duan Yun quickly explained.

"I know what you want to do." Xu Shaoqiang interrupted Duan Yun, and said with a smile: "Your Tianyin Group can develop to today's scale, relying on talents and technology, but now your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. The bigger it is, not only recruiting top domestic experts, but also reaching out to foreign countries..."

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Duan Yun laughed, he knew that Xu Shaoqiang had already seen his plan.

"I think it's a very good thing for your Tianyin Group to hold this kind of Sino-Soviet technical exchange meeting." Xu Shaoqiang showed approval, and then said: "If you want, our Poly Company can facilitate the cooperation of your group. Cooperate with several domestic military automobile factories to jointly produce a new generation of military vehicles."

"Really!?" Hearing what Xu Shaoqiang and the others said, Duan Yun's eyes lit up.

Speaking of which, there are currently many military automobile factories in China, among which BJ Automobile Factory, Dongfeng Automobile Factory, Changan Automobile Factory, Jiangling Automobile Factory, Qinchuan Automobile Factory and Jiangnan Automobile Factory are the most famous.

BJ Motors also appeared quite early, followed by FAW. It was built in 1958 and has a history of 60 years.At the beginning of its establishment, BJ Automobile was mainly responsible for the production of military vehicles. The most well-known model among ordinary people is the BJ212 that is still on sale. It is still the same after 40 years.At the beginning of the 21st century, for a greater breakthrough, BJ Auto signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Daimler AG to start the production of BJ Mercedes-Benz, which also contributed a lot to the development of Mercedes-Benz in China.

Compared with BJ Automobile Factory, Dongfeng Automobile Factory is more "pure". From the beginning, it has been mainly engaged in the production of military vehicles.

When Dongfeng Motor was founded in 1969, it formulated the development idea of ​​focusing on the army and first the army and then the people. In 1975, Dongfeng successively put into production the EQ240 and EQ140 models, and played a significant role in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, including transporting supplies and soldiers, and was praised as a "hero car" by the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army. In 2006, Dongfeng Motor developed a new generation of military off-road vehicles: Dongfeng Warrior, which won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

In addition, Changan Automobile Factory can be said to be the oldest automobile factory in China.

The arsenal of Changan Automobile experienced the establishment of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the founding of New China. In 1951, it was renamed the State-owned No. 1957 Factory of the Central Ordnance Industry Administration.In 38, Chang'an Machinery Factory successfully used the Willys M1A46 captured in the Korean battlefield to produce China's first military off-road vehicle, the Changjiang 1959 off-road vehicle.In the same year, the state-owned No. 20 Factory was renamed Chang'an Machinery Manufacturing Factory. In 46, Chang'an Machinery Manufacturing Factory shipped 80 Yangtze River [-] off-road vehicles to BJ as the leader vehicles for the [-]th anniversary of the National Day military parade. Since the [-]s, Changan has started its own car-making road in two lines. One line is to cooperate with a large number of foreign-funded car companies with strong technology. While producing joint venture brands, it can obtain more advanced management technology and production experience.
