The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 241 The father-in-law was unwilling to fall behind, and suddenly came with a fierce
"Xiao Jiang, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building issued a notice today, requiring all factories to do everything they can to save foreign exchange and strive to earn foreign exchange."

"Our school has purchased a lot of laboratory equipment and instruments from overseas in the past year. We are the university that uses the most foreign exchange among the universities under the Ministry of Machine Building."

"So today the school held a special school committee meeting, hoping to make up for the impact of excessive foreign exchange consumption by further increasing foreign exchange earnings."

Zhu Jiansheng knew that Jiang Hui's thinking was much more flexible than his own when it came to exporting and earning foreign exchange.

So after returning home, the father-in-law and son-in-law started discussing in the study.

"Aren't the Hummer military vehicles produced by the school in cooperation with the 618th Factory already being exported to earn foreign exchange?"

To do something, you must first understand the situation.

Otherwise, there is no way to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"In the past year, we have fulfilled part of our foreign exchange earning mission through the export of Hummer military vehicles."

"But those export orders are generally not large and can no longer meet the requirements of the leadership."

After the Hummer military vehicle went into production, the demand for its use by relevant domestic departments was also very strong.

In addition, many foreign countries have already ordered a batch of sample vehicles, so the expansion of exports has actually been suspended for a while.

After all, since there is no problem with sales of the products produced, the pressure and enthusiasm of everyone will naturally not be that high.

As the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Zhu Jiansheng has a lot of things to deal with on a daily basis.

It is impossible to be responsible for promoting the Hummer military vehicles every day.

"If we want to export and earn foreign exchange, we have to do it on a larger scale, so we must find some powerful countries to promote our products to."

Jiang Hui began to analyze the international situation to Zhu Jiansheng.

"Yes, but the powerful countries are mainly the United States and its allies, as well as the polar bears. These countries are unlikely to purchase our Hummer military vehicles on a large scale."

Obviously, Zhu Jiansheng had thought about this problem a long time ago.

In particular, the technical data of the Hummer military vehicle has been exchanged with AMC for the technical data of the diesel engine.

This means that the United States will soon have its own Hummer military vehicles in the next two years.

Under such circumstances, they are naturally even more reluctant to purchase from China on a large scale.

"There is another place that people don't pay enough attention to, and that is Baghdad and Persia. The Iran-Iraq War is now in full swing, and the demand for various military equipment will definitely explode."

"Baghdad has now entered Persia with great momentum, but as the time spent in Persia gets longer, the pressure will certainly increase."

"Persia should have a strong desire to drive Baghdad out of the country."

"Under these circumstances, if they were able to fully experience the combat effectiveness of the Hummer military vehicle, I think they would definitely be interested in purchasing it on a large scale."

Jiang Hui made a brief analysis and found a key public relations target for Zhu Jiansheng.

Today, Persia is rich and powerful, but its relations with several major powers are not good.

It is absolutely difficult to purchase suitable military equipment from the polar bear or the United States.

Although their relationship with China has not been good in the past two years, Persia still has its value to China.

Selling a batch of Hummer military vehicles and other military products to Persia can not only effectively help China obtain more foreign exchange, but also improve the relationship between China and Persia.

"Persia may indeed have this demand, but they are at war with Baghdad. If we sell arms to Persia, it will definitely affect our relationship with Baghdad, right?"

Zhu Jiansheng's concern to a certain extent explains why Capital University of Technology or the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building has not yet started large-scale cooperation with Persia.

Of course, with the increasing operating pressure on domestic military factories, the export of related products will definitely increase in the future. This is inevitable.

Jiang Hui is just bringing this process forward now.

"You're right. Normally it is like this."

"The arms trade is not a simple commodity trade, but is involved in many complex situations."

“But I don’t think people need to worry too much.”

"If Baghdad has any objections, we can also sell them Hummer military vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles and other products."

"At most, we can change the name of the model so that people don't think we are selling exactly the same product."

Jiang Hui's proposal immediately silenced Zhu Jiansheng.

But if you think about it a little, you will find that this solution does not seem impossible.

"Although Baghdad has the upper hand now, the territory of Persia is very vast, and it is impossible for Baghdad to occupy it completely."

"In addition, due to the Persian Revolution, the combat effectiveness and command capabilities of their combat units were greatly affected, and many commanders left this world."

"But war can cover up many contradictions and quickly unite Persia." "Under this circumstance, the war situation in Persia will sooner or later usher in a major change."

"It will be inevitable to drive Baghdad's troops out of the country by then, and it will even be possible to penetrate Baghdad."

"Baghdad, which doesn't have much demand for our weapons now, will certainly have a completely different attitude by then."

"So whether it is to balance the combat power of both sides, to make these businesses more sustainable, or from other perspectives, we can trade with both sides at the same time."

Jiang Hui further explained his thoughts and predictions for future developments.

This time, Zhu Jiansheng was completely moved.

"I will report this to the school tomorrow, and then ask the relevant departments to help me talk to the Persian ambassador about this matter in person."

Exporting to earn foreign exchange is something that the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building now attaches great importance to. Seeing that there is hope of getting a big order, Zhu Jiansheng will definitely participate in it personally.

……

1981 was definitely a very painful year for Persia.

Because they adopted a rather bizarre foreign policy after the revolution, they have almost no friends internationally.

Now he has been caught and beaten up by Baghdad, and he looks like the sky is falling.

原本波斯国内是有不少美利坚那边采购的战斗机，以F-4D“鬼怪”重型战斗机、F-5E/F“虎”轻型战斗机、F-14A“雄猫”重型战斗机、C-130“大力神”运输机、AH-1J“眼镜蛇”武装直升机等为代表，实力在中东地区绝对是首屈一指的。

However, after the revolution, Persia broke off completely with the West. Not to mention continuing to purchase fighter jets and other weapons, even purchasing the spare parts needed to maintain the normal flight of these fighter jets became difficult.

Although they are also vigorously promoting the localization of military industry, this takes time.

When they were at their weakest, Baghdad took advantage of the situation and provoked a war.

This is equivalent to drawing blood again.

Especially in the past six months, Persia has lost a lot of military supplies, and the demand for re-purchasing related supplies has suddenly increased.

Before, they looked down upon China’s military products.

To be honest, the performance of China's military products at that time was indeed inferior to the aircraft and tanks that Persia had previously purchased from the United States, France and other countries.

But you can't buy good things now, so Persian's thinking naturally had to change accordingly.

Based on the various situations analyzed by Jiang Hui, Zhu Jiansheng, accompanied by personnel from the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, had a conversation with the Persian ambassador and finalized the intention of cooperation on the same day.

In the following days, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building organized a special negotiation team to have in-depth exchanges with Persia on the purchase of related products.

In the end, Persia felt that among the products that China could currently provide for export, the Hummer military vehicle was the only product with internationally leading technology, so it directly agreed to purchase 5000 Hummer military vehicles, as well as a portion of other guns and ammunition, armored vehicles, and tanks.

In terms of price, it is naturally impossible to export it at the high price of the prototype car, but a price of US$8 per car is already very good for Capital University of Technology.

The Hummer military vehicle alone earned $4 million in foreign exchange at one time. Combined with the export of other products, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building earned $5 million in foreign exchange for China this time.

Although this news cannot be reported in newspapers or on television, all units within the system must know the news to some extent.

So this time, the Hummer military vehicle immediately became famous among various ministries and high-level officials.

I heard that the chief designer specially praised Capital University of Technology and Hummer's design and production team at a meeting.

Against this special background, Zhu Jiansheng ushered in another leap in his life.

On May 1981, 5, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building officially appointed Zhu Jiansheng as vice president of Capital University of Technology.

At the same time, he naturally remains as a member of the school committee.

In order to ensure that the development of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering was not affected, he even continued to serve as the dean.

In just a few years, he went from being a professor in the Department of Vehicle Engineering to the head of the department, then to the dean of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, and then further to a member of the University Committee, and now has been appointed as the vice president.

Zhu Jiansheng certainly never imagined that one day his position would change so quickly.

Of course, this is also related to the overall environment.

Throughout the 1980s, in order to promote the rejuvenation of cadres, cases where positions changed faster than Zhu Jiansheng's kept emerging.

Zhu Jiansheng himself has strong technical ability, and with Jiang Hui as his "engine" pushing him forward from behind, various achievements emerge every now and then.

Many people cannot produce a few decent results in their entire lives, but in Zhu Jiansheng's hands, they keep producing them as if they are not rare.

With talents like this, there are naturally more opportunities.

After all, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building also hopes to set an example.
