Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 502 Negotiation: Biting Hard Bones

Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was a little tense, Deputy Director Song asked the meeting to adjourn for 10 minutes, and then continued the meeting.During the adjournment, Deputy Director Song first met with Director Wu for a while, and then came to Jiang Chen to understand the relevant situation, trying to take into account the interests of both parties, so that the project can be negotiated.This is originally the function of the middleman, and they are here to contact the two parties of the organization for communication and negotiation.In business cooperation negotiations, middlemen often play a vital role.Of course, the middleman is also very troublesome, one is for his own reputation, and the other is for the generous rewards after the cooperation is negotiated.Of course, Deputy Director Song doesn't need these things. The reason why he is so sad is because he really takes care of domestic enterprises and factories.On the other hand, this is also based on what was handed down from above.Although he has worked in the Science and Industry Committee for more than ten years and has gradually transformed from a soldier to a senior civilian cadre, the blood in his heart and his love for the army have not dissipated.So how can he not care about the current project that can help the troops improve their combat effectiveness and modernize their equipment.

The meeting started again, and this time everyone changed their attitudes, first finalizing the projects that both parties agreed to and having common ground, and then discussing those projects that were more difficult to agree to.At present, the two sides have relatively big differences. One is the application and ownership of automobile technology, the other is the sale and distribution of automobiles, and the production of automobiles.Another issue is the funding issue.These issues all involve the core interests of both sides, so the two sides have had a hard time talking about this aspect.As for other aspects, although there are differences, the problems are not big, and it doesn't matter if either party takes a step back.So the progress is very fast, but on this key issue, everyone still can't make a final decision.So the meeting went on until the evening, neither of the two parties immediately, had a little meal in the conference room, and then resumed.Originally, there was no need to be so tight, but because the Chinese New Year is about to come, if an agreement is not reached soon, the entire project process may be delayed because of this Chinese New Year, and it is still unknown whether to restart the project after the new year.

Because the two sides have gotten along pretty well, and everyone is familiar with each other, so after the meal, everyone became more casual.They all unbuttoned them one by one, and then drank tea and smoked a cigarette.Now there are some issues with relatively large differences, so both sides are planning to persuade each other in this way and gain an advantage on these issues.In the end, still at Deputy Director Song's suggestion, the two parties decided that we would ask each question one by one.

The first is the application and ownership of this automotive technology.Director Wu's point of view is that these technologies belong to them, and Jiang Chen and the others just use these technologies and use them only for orders delivered to the army.Jiang Chen and the others cannot use other products, because it will leak secrets everywhere.There are also these parts that use their technology. Jiang Chen and the others cannot produce them by themselves. Director Wu and the others designate a specific factory to produce them, and then provide them with the parts they need.

Jiang Chen and the others definitely would not agree to this.For such a big project, it can't end up being a waste of money, and nothing can be fished out.Moreover, these technologies are not the most cutting-edge technologies in Jiang Chen's eyes. What Jiang Chen and the others need most is nothing more than some technical formulas for materials.These things are not leaked.Because what you produced is already a finished product, even if you take it back to observe and test it, it is impossible to reproduce it.Otherwise, the engine technology of our later generations would have been developed long ago, because the reason why our engine is not working is still the problem of materials and craftsmanship.We have bought so many engines from Russia, and we have also come into contact with engines from Western countries, but why we have not been able to imitate them, the fundamental reason is the material problem and processing technology.

Therefore, regarding the confidentiality issue raised by Director Wu and the others, Jiang Chen thought it was not a problem at all.They also visited their materials laboratory and related production plants. Regarding the secrecy, I believe Jiang Chen and the others did not do badly.These technologies are also essential to Jiangchen's overall development plan.Now this off-road vehicle is just an important part of it. These technologies and the accumulated experience and continuation will also be invested in new and more difficult projects.Become the cornerstone of new projects, so that new projects can be carried out smoothly.Moreover, Jiang Chen's focus is still on the foreign market. For the domestic market and the military, the market for such a car is not very big, and Jiang Chen and the others in the second district do not intend to make much profit from it.Then, compared to the high research expenses, only foreign markets can quickly allow Jiang Chen and the others to recover the cost and earn the due returns, accumulating funds for future development.

In fact, there is another one, which Jiang Chen has never mentioned, that is, these parts that require high materials are used in important places.These parts require precise prices to minimize its error.Jiang Chen and the others already had a wealth of experience in this regard, so he was really unwilling to hand over these things to factories that had never produced them in other jungles.Also, these are the parts of the key equipment, which are very important to Jiang Chen and the others. He really doesn't want others to get his neck stuck, and he doesn't want to take any risks.

Of course, Jiang Chen also knew another purpose of Director Wu's arrangement.That is, he also listened to the industrial ecosystem mentioned by Jiang Chen before, so he had an idea in this regard.In this matter, there are many industries related to the military, including those related to the military. For example, there are many industries established by some military affiliates, including steel factories and parts production factories.Of course, these factories also serve the army, and have always relied on this army.In the past two years, the national strategy has turned to economic construction in an all-round way, and the national defense army has to make way for economic construction.Therefore, the funds for the army are getting less and less. As a result, these factories and industries that rely on the army for food are also facing a state of shutdown or even bankruptcy.This means that these people cannot get wages, which makes life more difficult for some cadres who rely on this to support their families, and some family members in difficulties, including some martyr families.Therefore, Director Wu strives for these orders for these factories, to drive the development of these factories and industries, and to improve the lives of these people.

For Director Wu's idea, Jiang Chen actually admired and respected him very much.But considering the company's own use, this put him in a dilemma in terms of ideals and sensibility.
