The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 195: Capital University of Technology takes action
"The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is such a large factory, with over 10,000 people working there."

"You can't rely on our Xiao Jiang for everything, right?"

Fang Zhen is also very clear about his son-in-law's abilities.

However, she felt a little unhappy because Capital Automobile Manufacturing always turned to Jiang Hui for all important matters.

Especially since Zhu Lin is about to give birth.

"Mom, this is because the factory values ​​Jiang Hui."

"Their factory will soon have another major reform, and it's a good thing that Jiang Hui is being promoted at this time."

"Besides, I have you two accompanying me these days."

Zhu Lin must be on Jiang Hui's side at this time.

It was a cold day and Zhu Lin was pregnant. Even if Jiang Hui was at home, no one would go out.

At this time, it is normal to give priority to work.

"It's been a busy day, let's eat first."

After Zhu Jiansheng said this, Fang Zhen didn't say anything else.

She didn't really have any problem with Jiang Hui, she just felt a little unhappy that Capital Automobile Manufacturing Company wanted Jiang Hui to work overtime during the New Year.

"Dad, we have already secured a cooperation order for 212 units of our new BJ1000, but I guess the demand for this kind of off-road vehicle in Argentina is not that great."

"After all, most of the opposition forces are in the mountains, so motorcycles and bicycles are more practical."

"But I think you can give your Hummer a try when you have a chance. After all, it performs better on bad roads."

"And because it has a certain level of armor protection, it naturally has an advantage when dealing with infantry."

"Even if it's facing a tank, it can run faster, so it should still be useful in some small cities controlled by opposition forces."

"As the most important high-performance military off-road vehicle in the future, I think it is meaningful to actually test its performance on the battlefield in Afghanistan and find some areas for improvement."

Zhu Jiansheng must be very interested in what Jiang Hui is busy with these days.

Although some things require confidentiality, Zhu Jiansheng, as the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering at Capital University of Technology, is a member of the national defense system and his own confidentiality level is sufficient.

It wouldn't matter if he knew some news.

Anyway, it’s impossible for Zhu Jiansheng to make a fuss everywhere.

If it really doesn't work, he can also go to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to confirm the news, which is a disguised cover-up for knowing some inside information in advance.

"How much did you sell your BJ212 for?"

Even at Zhu Jiansheng's level, the enthusiasm for exporting and earning foreign exchange is very high.

Under normal circumstances, universities like Capital University of Technology have nothing to do with export and foreign exchange earnings.

However, they are major users of foreign exchange, and almost all experimental instruments need to be imported.

Especially as an engineering school, the amount of foreign exchange consumed in the construction of any laboratory and the equipment is exaggerated.

Due to insufficient foreign exchange quota, several procurement orders of Capital University of Technology have not been fulfilled in the past year.

If they also have the ability to earn foreign exchange themselves, it would be much easier to purchase laboratory equipment.

Although foreign exchange is centrally managed, as a major foreign exchange earner, purchasing some imported equipment is obviously not a big problem.

“Fifty thousand dollars a car!”

"Fifty thousand dollars a car?"

Zhu Jiansheng’s eyes almost popped out.

He originally thought that it would be great if he could afford one for $10,000.

I didn’t expect it to be $50,000!

This price is definitely a high price.

If it is arms being sold, it seems normal for the price to be higher.

However, although the BJ212 can barely be considered a military vehicle, it is more often used in civilian scenarios.

Its military attributes cannot be compared with the Hummer at all.

"Yes, fifty thousand dollars a piece."

"That's why I think the school should work together with the 618th Factory and communicate with the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building as soon as possible to try to include the Hummer project in the project of cooperating with the United States to aid Afghanistan."

"It won't cost much then. Even if a Hummer is sold for $200,000, or even $100,000, it will be of great significance."

"Even the United States might be interested in our Hummer military vehicles."

Jiang Hui's statement is obviously not without reason.

The Pentagon of the United States has actually started the bidding process for a new generation of high-performance military vehicles.

If normal historical developments continue, each automaker will produce prototype vehicles for confirmation next year.

The Hummer project was originally born in that way.

But now with the Capital University of Technology's Hummer project, the situation is naturally completely different.

"As soon as I get to work the day after tomorrow, I will report this matter to the school, and then go to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building with the director of the No. 618 Factory to report our plan." Zhu Jiansheng is absolutely very positive about this matter.

Even if it is just like the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, which only completes a batch of 1000 export orders, it will be a super foreign exchange earning project of more than million US dollars.

Such a major project could potentially become the largest export-earning project in 1980, and a typical case for the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and even the entire China.

By then, Capital University of Technology will definitely be able to gain many benefits from this project.

This is very beneficial to the development of the school and Zhu Jiansheng's personal development.

"If the United States or other countries want to purchase Hummers, it would be best to set a minimum order quantity. If there is no order of more than 100 vehicles, we will have to think carefully about whether to sell it."

Don't think that all American companies are so law-abiding.

When people see the benefits, they will use all kinds of means.

It is simply impossible to expect the United States to continue importing Hummer military vehicles from China.

At most, they would buy these vehicles as prototypes for testing, learn from them, and then develop their own new generation of military vehicles.

In this case, if China wants to export Hummers, it must make back the money all at once.

Fortunately, the progress at Capital University of Technology is much faster than that in the United States, so in the next few years there is no need to worry about American car companies competing with them in the international market.

As for the more distant future, the markets of America’s allies will certainly have nothing to do with China.

We can look forward to other markets in Asia, Africa, Latin America and even the Middle East.

Even after the Iran-Iraq War breaks out in the future, there will be no problem in eating up Party A and then Party B, and selling Hummers to Baghdad and Persia at the same time.

That was definitely the most comfortable period of time for some factories in China's military industry system.

"Well, your reminder is quite reasonable. We can't throw away our future just for a few cars and hundreds of thousands of dollars of foreign exchange."

Zhu Jiansheng knew that if Jiang Hu had not reminded him, if America really wanted to purchase three or five Hummer military vehicles in the future, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building might really agree.

After all, this is a project worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars.

In the whole of China, it is considered a very impressive export-earning project.

"By the way, although the Hummer project will not be mass-produced until the second half of the year, hasn't the relevant department already ordered a batch of prototypes in advance?"

"I think we can produce a few more prototypes and start pushing them to the international market in advance to better verify their performance."

"Whether it's America, Japan, or even some other countries, as long as they are interested, we can consider negotiating export orders with them."

"While people are still not particularly familiar with the Hummer military vehicle, let's make some money first."

time does not wait.

The sooner we act, the better it will be for China.

Otherwise, by the time American car companies have produced their own prototypes, their enthusiasm will not be that high.

"Well, I will report this idea in time."

Zhu Jiansheng is not stupid, so he naturally knows how to seize the opportunity.

"By the way, when I was visiting today, a former nurse was interested in helping out at our house. I'll ask her to come over tomorrow for a try, and if everyone thinks she's okay, let her stay."

Zhu Lin is about to give birth soon, and Fang Zhen knows that he cannot handle all the affairs of the courtyard by himself.

At this time, it is very necessary to find someone to help.

Jiang Hui and the others had already discussed this matter before, and she finally made it happen.

"Since this is a nurse you knew before, just let her stay and do the job."

"If you don't spend some time together, it's hard to feel whether it's really suitable."

Zhu Lin still has confidence in his mother's judgment of people.

As a former nurse, regardless of her level of caring for people, there must be no problem for her to at least help with the hygiene of the courtyard, right?
The family chatted while eating.

After entering 1980, the supply of materials in society has improved significantly compared with previous years.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, as long as you have money and tickets, you can basically buy the corresponding supplies.

The temperature is low in winter, and meat and other things will not go bad, so the food on the table is quite rich.

In the next few days, after Jiang Hui returned to the factory, he worked with Chen Qi, Zheng Haiming and others to finalize the follow-up arrangements for the export-oriented BJ212.

The 70% down payment from the United States was also officially transferred to the designated account.

The remaining 212% will not be remitted until the BJ is delivered to the Afghan border.

This can also be considered a means for America to balance China.

Capital Automobile Manufacturing naturally has no objection to this.

Even 70% of the payment for the goods is enough to cover their costs and still make a very generous profit.

Not to mention that the payment is in US dollars, which can be regarded as earning foreign exchange for the country.

As for the remaining delivery matter, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is not the one that can worry too much about it, and it is more left to the relevant departments.
