Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Yanjing, Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

"Mr. Lin, what can't be said on the phone? I'm so busy over there..."

Xu Huasheng couldn't help asking as he looked at Lin Zuotang who was walking towards him. The tasks in the deep mountains were heavy. After such a long period of busy work, many projects had entered the final finishing work, and Xu Huasheng and his team were also very busy.

But Lin Zuotang suddenly sent someone to pick him up, which made Xu Huasheng couldn't help but nag.

"Some things can't be explained clearly over the phone."

Lin Zuotang said with a smile, which made Xu Huasheng stunned.

"Hehe, the anti-tank missile you provided information for was completed a few days ago, and the target shooting was very good. We have invited Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia to come over. You are the most proficient in doing business in China, so we invited you to come..."

Lin Zuotang said with a smile, and Xu Huasheng immediately became interested when he heard this.

Oh my god, is the development speed so fast? It's only been a few months and the javelin has been developed. Although he provided a lot of technical information, the fact that the javelin was made in such a short time was enough to prove the strength of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

As expected of a powerful unit that plays firecrackers, the javelin is probably just a novelty toy in their eyes.

"Can I shoot?"

Xu Huasheng asked curiously.

"Of course, one hundred thousand dollars..."

Lin Zuotang said with a smile.

"It's really dark..."

Xu Huasheng couldn't help but mutter, which made Lin Zuotang laugh.

"Mr. Xu, we are poor, we can't compare with your Huasheng Group..."

Lin Zuotang didn't care about Xu Huasheng's complaints at all. Although the satellite navigation system project of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry has been launched and the funds are sufficient, it is a special fund, and other departments cannot embezzle it at all. The Huasheng Group has sent people to watch it.

So the Ministry of Aerospace Industry is still poor now. Now Xu Huasheng, a local tyrant, wants to shoot, so he naturally has to pay.

"Let's take five first. I haven't played with this thing yet..."

Xu Huasheng was very curious. It was only 500,000 US dollars. Now Xu Huasheng was almost as poor as the Middle Eastern dog family. The only thing left was money.

With curiosity, Xu Huasheng and Lin Zuotang drove directly to a special shooting range in the suburban military area.

At the shooting range, Xu Huasheng saw the appearance of the Chinese version of the Javelin.

The appearance looked a bit cheap, and the shell was not even painted. The main point was to save money. After all, it was an experimental product, so there was no need to pay attention to beauty. The rest was not much different from the original American version.

"How about the power and range?"

Xu Huasheng asked curiously while looking at a Chinese version of the Javelin.

"Mr. Xu, the performance is very good, with a maximum range of 4,000 meters, a weight of 17 kilograms, a vertical armor-piercing capability of 750 mm, and a first-shot hit rate of about 95%..."

A technician told Xu Huasheng about the performance of this anti-tank missile. After hearing this performance, Xu Huasheng laughed.

This capability has reached the strength of the Javelin missile that was completely finalized by the US military in 1995.

Although the range of this missile is not too far. But this range is already very good. The most important thing is that this missile is a fool mode. You don't have to worry about it after it is fired, which greatly increases the survivability of the launcher. Unlike the anti-tank missiles of various countries now, they still have to aim at the tank for guidance after firing, which is inefficient.

"What is the cost price?"

Xu Huasheng asked directly, which made the technician look at Lin Zuotang hesitantly.

"No need to keep it secret. Can Mr. Xu see your little money?"

Lin Zuotang said with a smile. Lin Zuotang knew that Xu Huasheng would definitely not care about this little money. At the beginning, Lin Zuotang invited Huasheng Group to participate, but Xu Huasheng directly refused.

"Well, the cost is a bit high. The current production capacity is relatively small. The cost price is about 30,000 yuan per missile. The main reason is that the infrared guidance device is expensive..."

The technician whispered, and Xu Huasheng widened his eyes when he heard the price.

Your sister, you call this expensive? An anti-tank missile costs only 30,000 RMB. Do you call this expensive? Do you know how much a tank costs? Do you know how much a helicopter costs? Do you know what the purchase price of this thing will be in the United States in a few years?

But Xu Huasheng soon realized that this was China in 1991, and prices were relatively cheap.

Think about the more powerful Red Arrow 12 in China in the future, which only costs about 50,000 US dollars. In this comparison, 30,000 RMB for an anti-tank missile does not seem to be cheap for the current Chinese military.

Besides, this is just the cost price. If the military purchases it, it will definitely cost more. If it is used internally, it will cost at least 40,000 RMB.Ah, that's 10,000 USD per missile.

But if it is sold to a wealthy dog, this Javelin missile will be unworthy of the reputation of a wealthy dog ​​if it is less than 200,000 USD.

Even if it is 200,000 USD per missile, it is still very cheap.

Look at how the United States slaughtered Taiwan later. If a Javelin dares to sell for millions of dollars, it is not slaughtering pigs, but slaughtering fools.

"If it is sold to Iraq in large quantities at 10,000 USD per missile..."

This cost price made Xu Huasheng think of it. If it is sold to Iraq at a price of 10,000 USD per missile, how many would Saddam buy with this performance?

At 10,000 USD per missile, I'm afraid Saddam will ask for tens of thousands of missiles.

If there are tens of thousands of Javelin missiles in Iraq, when the United States attacks Iraq, the ground forces will definitely be very excited.

If we make arrangements in advance, we can instill the essence of the great man's guerrilla warfare into them. Let Iraq dig an underground Great Wall in advance, and when the US ground forces enter Iraq, hehehe!

Xu Huasheng suddenly felt that he had to find an opportunity to go to the Middle East, where he could not only make a lot of money, but also dig a lot of holes for the United States.

Xu Huasheng has always been very vigilant about the rogue country of the United States. With the economic development of China, the United States will sooner or later regard China as its biggest enemy. For such an opponent, dig holes if you can, and consume them if you can.

"Mr. Lin, does the country allow the export of this weapon?"

Xu Huasheng asked directly, this is the most critical.

"At first, the military saw it and thought that export would leak secrets. But they can't afford it, so..."

Lin Zuotang said with a smile.

"Can't you afford it with 30,000 RMB?"

Xu Huasheng asked curiously, it shouldn't be, although 30,000 RMB is a bit expensive, but China can at least equip it a little bit, this made Lin Zuotang laugh, and this smile was a bit mysterious and even a bit wretched, this time Xu Huasheng became curious, is there a different story in it? .
