Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 121
It was just dawn the next day, and Jiang Chen was woken up early by the factory leaders. Instead of going to the office, they went to the cafeteria.Now the people in the cafeteria started to get busy. A worker was preparing breakfast. When he saw Jiang Chen and the others coming, he rushed up to greet him.Jiang Chen and the others didn't talk too much, they just told them to prepare breakfast for everyone.After the idlers around walked away, everyone started chatting.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's meet here and have a small meeting." Chen Guorong went straight to the topic without too much politeness.

"Well, the main purpose of convening everyone so early is to summarize the results of the contact with the B46 factory in Shancheng last night. Let's take the lead in communicating." Xu Shijie said with a smile.

"Okay, let me say it first." Deputy Factory Manager Zhang said seriously: "Actually, after contacting us last night, we found that our disputes still focus on two main issues. This is the division of economic interests of the research results. These two It’s the specific method of cooperation, and there shouldn’t be any major problems with the rest.”

Chen Guorong nodded and said: "Well, these two points are the most important things now. Let's talk about the division of economic interests first. This B46 factory first brings their early research results into the research and development project team and then wants to take the lead. But this we It is unacceptable, especially if the higher-ups deliberately let us take the lead, the main research sites and personnel will come from our factory, and they have no reason to take the lead.”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Yesterday, I chatted with a few technicians in their factory, and found that they were only at the initial stage of exploration because they had no financial and technical support. From this point, we are better than them. Strong, although the experience they have accumulated over the years is of some help, but it is of little significance. Judging from the requirements given to us by the General Logistics Department, we are afraid that we will have to start from scratch and start researching from scratch.”

"Xiao Jiang, have you reconsidered that we can talk to the headquarter leaders that we can undertake this project by ourselves?" Xu Shijie asked, he really didn't want to share the fat with other factories.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "No, I still stick to my previous decision. Our economic foundation and the number of troops destined that our troops will not all be equipped with high-end weapons, so the higher-ups will still adhere to the principle of matching high and low. This time The project we are going to undertake will equip the entire army in the future, so it will definitely not be like the BZ82 gun family we developed and produced (the finalized equipment is named BZ82-B basic rifle, BZ82-K carbine, BZ82-J machine gun, BZ82 -Z precision type) also follow the road of high-end weapons. Therefore, a cheap, adaptable, moderate performance rifle that can be equipped with the entire army is what our army wants to have most. Our current 81-type rifle is just a 56-type rifle The general structure of the gun has only been changed in a small area. It can no longer adapt to future combat missions, so it is just a transitional gun model for our army.”

Jiang Chen swallowed a mouthful of spit and continued: "So the new gun must be a new system engineering, and this also involves a new caliber. You know a new caliber rifle, which is not comparable to the guns we produced before. Yes, this will involve a long period of massive calculations and experiments before it can be successfully developed. This is a very long cycle, and it is difficult for us to complete it alone, and I don’t want to put too much effort into it. You Knowing that we are about to start a new project, we don’t have the time, energy, or resources to break into it.”

"After all, this is a task assigned by the state, so we still have to work hard to complete it." Xu Shijie reminded that he is a senior official of the factory after all, so he thinks about things differently.

"I know, we don't want to finish, we just want to take into account our actual situation while completing. Although this is an honor, in the long run, if we finish alone, it will be very detrimental to our development. And I What I want to say is that we don't have the strength to undertake such a big project." Jiang Chen explained.He understood Xu Shijie's concerns, but considering the actual situation, he had to make concessions.

"Okay, the cooperation with the B46 factory has already been decided by the above, so don't think about this issue any more. Now we are discussing where is our bottom line when negotiating?" Chen Guorong interrupted.

Everyone fell into contemplation. Jiang Chen thought for a while and saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "I think we can make concessions on the division of economic benefits of the results. One is that we can't produce so many products, and the other is that the above Avoid risks and take care of the interests of all parties, so we will definitely intervene. You must know that the military factories in the entire system are watching. The second is the way of cooperative development. I suggest that we can still grasp the development of this firearm. Yes, as for the research and development of bullets of this caliber, they will be assigned to them, and then both sides will send their own people to support and participate in the research. I suggest that our bottom line is that the development of this bullet should not be left in our hands. In this regard, we can appropriately let some economic benefits .”

"I agree with Xiaojiang's suggestion that the development of this bullet caliber should be led by the B46 factory, and we can send people to assist. The research and development of firearms is our advantage, and we also have successful cases. I believe the leaders and they will understand us It’s up to you to decide.” Deputy Factory Manager Zhang replied, as the main leader in charge of production, he knew how difficult this area was.

"Well, since you are so persistent, I will support you too." Xu Shijie nodded.

"That's fine, let's make it like this. Everyone pay attention to the negotiation later." Chen Guorong saw that no one had any opinions, so he nodded.

At this time, the head of the old king in the kitchen brought people here with breakfast.The dry ones are steamed buns and rolls, the soup is sauerkraut noodles, and the dishes are two pickled vegetables.Seeing this, everyone has a great appetite. The wine they drank last night is still a little uncomfortable. This sour porridge is just right for their appetite.

Chen Guorong quickly ate a bowl and said with a smile: "It's comfortable to eat some hot food in the morning."

"It's the same with me. I was so patronizing yesterday that I drank and talked and didn't eat much. After returning home, I fell asleep on the bed." Xu Shijie said with a smile.

At this time Ma Guoliang walked in quickly from the outside, Chen Guorong saw this and asked: "What's the matter, it's early in the morning."

"Some people from the B46 factory wanted to visit our production workshop, but the director of the workshop refused to let them in, so they found me." Ma Guoliang said with a frown.

"Visit the production workshop, which one?" Xu Shijie asked.

"It's the No. [-] workshop where we produce parts." Ma Guoliang replied.

"Workshop No. [-], here are some of our most core things. It's not that we are hiding something, so our current situation is not suitable for disclosure." Jiang Chen replied, looking at Chen Guorong.
