In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 149 Give me some money and produce a rocket launcher with a range of 150 kilometers
"Even so, a portion of the profits should be given to the school-enterprise office. This way the school-enterprise office will be more confident..."

Wang Zheng was speechless.

He felt that he had looked for Du Guowang in vain.

Now everyone is on Xie Wei's side.

“If the profits are given to the school-enterprise office, will the school-enterprise office still have pressure to quickly expand the market?”

Du Guowang glared at Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was stunned.

I don't understand where I went wrong again.

"After the New Year, the School Enterprise Office recruited a group of sales personnel through examinations and trained them for several months. Now all of them have been deployed. Wang Zheng, how many orders have these sales personnel brought in after so much time?"

Du Guowang's words immediately made Liang Hongbin so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

The school-enterprise office has dozens of sales staff, and the cost is not small, but so far, there is no order for a calculator, let alone other products...

"All the calculators we have now were sold by Xie Wei, who persuaded the principal to use his connections to sell them. Orders like this are doomed to not last long."

Liang Hongbin on the side also spoke.

He looked at Wang Zheng seriously and said, "It's impossible for the principal to specialize in sales."

"Can……"

"You still don't understand what Xie Wei means. Whether the profits go to the school-enterprise organization or the school, they are actually all in the school, but the direction of using these funds is different..."

Du Guowang sighed.

The purpose of establishing the School-Enterprise Office is to raise funds for the development of military technology in the school.

"what?"

Wang Zheng was stunned.

At the same time, he was even more worried, "It's impossible for him to hand over most of the profits from the school-enterprise operation to the school, right?"

"That's not the case."

Du Guowang shook his head and reminded Wang Zheng, "Think about it from another angle. If there is no huge profit, why would those who are capable of helping to get orders help your school-enterprise office get orders? Let alone other things, even if it is a large-scale unit purchasing, if you use the ex-factory price to purchase similar products that are several times more expensive on the market, and save the unit a little money, what do you think will happen?"

Du Guowang now truly understood Xie Wei's thoughts.

If Xie Wei were still here at this moment, he would tell Du Guowang: This situation only occurs in this era.

"Besides, similar products from international markets may be introduced tomorrow. Without opening up the market, how competitive are your calculators?"

After having more contact with Xie Wei, even Du Guowang can talk about competitiveness off the top of his head.

Wang Zheng remained silent.

"Funds are invested in projects related to fighter jets?"

Li Rui was confused. "Why don't you rest so late? Are you looking for me just for this?"

Xie Wei nodded.

"reason?"

The principal's already ugly expression became even uglier. "How the school's funds are allocated naturally depends on the needs and priorities of each department of the school..."

"Your desk should be able to withstand many slaps."

Looking at the principal's replaced desk, Xie Wei said calmly.

"What do you mean?"

Li Rui just asked and then reacted.

In the past, in order to obtain funding, department heads often slapped their own desks, which eventually led to the disintegration of the desk, which was almost as old as the school.

Of course, Principal Li also took a lot of photos himself.

President Li made millions using a calculator, letting the department heads know that the funding competition that had not occurred in more than half a year was likely to occur again.

"We can't touch this money. We have to keep it for backup."

"The four-degree-of-redundancy fly-by-wire system is the core of automatic control. It not only has a huge role in promoting the development of chips, but also has a huge role in promoting the development of various other sensors..."

Xie Wei remained calm.

The quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire control system is inevitable for advanced fighter aircraft.

The most powerful major of Harbin Institute of Technology is automatic control, which has always been reflected in the fields of aerospace and industrial robots.

The quad-redundant fly-by-wire system seems to be very different from CNC technology, but when these technologies develop to a certain extent, they will eventually be connected.

It will be the core foundation of drones and various robots.

Based on Xie Wei's understanding of Li Rui, if he proposed to invest this money in ordinary basic project research, Li Rui would definitely not agree.

"There are many places in our school where we need to spend money..."

Although it is a military technology project, Principal Li does not want to invest too much in it.

Fighter aircraft, that is the business related to the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

Up to now, the Third Ministry of Machine Building has not given much money.

If you have invested too much, how can you go to the leaders of the Third Ministry of Machine Building and cry poor and ask them to pay for it?

"Indeed. And these few million are not a lot, and investing them may not necessarily yield any results. But without investing these few million, can the school still send more personnel from units 601 and 611? It may even be impossible to keep the people we have now."

"..."

Principal Li's eyebrows twitched several times.

So much time has passed that the relevant personnel have already figured out what happened.

Principal Li didn't even dare to find out the progress of several fighter jet projects.

"The biggest reason they stay in school now is that the school has the autonomy to develop projects and raise funds on its own... With money, it doesn't matter whether the projects are independent or not. The superiors will definitely not object to the various research institutes developing more advanced technologies, as long as they don't ask them for funds..."

Li Rui understood what Xie Wei said.

It's just that he was unwilling to do so.

It wasn't easy to make millions this time. I drank a lot of wine and owed a lot of favors.

Before the money even entered his pocket, Xie Wei had already arranged everything perfectly.

No wonder Xie Wei had no objection at all when I said I would give the extra money to the school. I was afraid that this had already been planned before.

"Each unit wants a project for funding... If the school is unable to provide funding, it is very likely that the seconded personnel will be withdrawn..."

"How about giving me 200 million first? We are still in the process of theoretical research..."

Principal Li felt very sad.

Life is hard when you have no money in your pocket.

"All for you. Principal, you only went to the capital this time...you didn't go to big cities like Shanghai. The demand for calculators there..."

"stop!"

Principal Li angrily stopped Xie Wei.

Does this guy think of himself as a business staff under the School-Enterprise Office?

"Boy, I'm the principal! Not your salesperson! Don't I have any dignity if I run around selling products to your school enterprise office without doing my job all day?"

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing to throw a tantrum in front of the superiors to ask for funds? What's wrong with promotion? Not only can it bring in more development funds, but it can also help the school's products be rolled out quickly..."

Xie Wei didn't care about Li Rui's anger.

If possible, he didn't want to catch a sheep and fleece it.

The principal has a lot of work to do normally, and it is indeed a bit of a detour for him to go out and do sales.

There's nothing we can do, right?
The orders that Li Rui brought back from his trip to the capital were in stark contrast to the salesmen sent out by the school-enterprise office who had not achieved any results.

It also fully demonstrates that the current domestic market cannot be expanded rapidly relying solely on sales personnel.

Only take the upper route.

"The school-enterprise office in Shanghai has acquired an electronic tube factory. Our school has invested a lot of money in Factory 14 in the past six months. As the principal, you are going to inspect the factory that is related to the future development of the school..."

"In addition, Huitong's calculators will most likely be looking for agents in the Shanghai Stock Exchange... The business world is like a battlefield, whoever seizes the initiative first will have a greater chance of victory..."

"I'm going!"

Li Rui gritted his teeth and glared at Xie Wei, his breathing quickened. When fighting the US Empire on the Peninsula, Principal Li never backed down, but he was in the logistics system and didn't have many opportunities to go to the battlefield.

Now the opportunity lies before us.

War has just taken a different form.

Xie Wei left the principal's office satisfied.

"That's not right! How come I was controlled by this kid again?"

It was a long time after Xie Wei left that Principal Li finally reacted, but Xie Wei had already walked away for who knows how far.

"Xie Wei, I heard that you asked the principal to give all the money earned from the calculator to the aviation department? We are from the aerospace system!"

Xie Wei knew that he had tricked Li Rui, and given the old man's personality, he would definitely not let himself feel comfortable.

What he didn't expect was that trouble would come so quickly.

The next afternoon, Fang Pengju angrily found Xie Wei and said, "You also said that you supported ultra-long-range rocket launchers, which are strategic deterrent weapons for small countries. Not only did you not help to obtain funds, but you also gave all the funds to the fighter jet project..."

"Director Fang, calm down!"

"I can't calm down! The theoretical design of our ultra-long-range rocket launcher has been completed, but we don't have the funds to manufacture samples for test firing. How can you expect me to calm down?"

Fang Pengju was very angry.

"Have we entered the sample trial production phase?"

Xie Wei was stunned for a moment, but soon understood: Fang Pengju has been engaged in the research of ultra-long-range rocket launchers for many years, and all theoretical demonstration work has been almost completed.

Last year, under Xie Wei's persuasion, the school agreed to the project of ultra-long-range rocket launcher and allocated personnel.

Perhaps Fang Pengju already had a plan.

"Why not?"

“How much does it cost to trial-produce?”

Xie Wei felt a little guilty. In his opinion, it would take a long time for the ultra-long-range rocket launcher to enter the sample trial production stage.

"At least 140 million!"

"what?"

Xie Wei was surprised.

"Our entire project team has calculated that the entire rocket launch system, rocket shells, etc., this is already the lowest cost that can be compressed. It is impossible to manufacture it at a price lower than this..."

Fang Pengju explained with a serious face.

Tell Xie Wei directly, 140 million, no less.

Looking at Fang Pengju's expression, Xie Wei really wanted to tell him that the reason he was surprised was that the funding he asked for was too little.

Even a single rocket launcher has more than one rocket.

"Director Fang, can you tell me about the design of our rocket launcher? For example, what is the caliber, what is the range..."

According to the confidentiality code, Xie Wei shouldn't have asked.

Fang Pengju shouldn't answer either.

"Outer diameter 300 mm, length 4786 mm, 12-tube launcher. Due to technical reasons, we first chose a rocket launcher with a maximum range of 150 kilometers..."

300 long range fire?

The data introduced by Fang Pengju immediately made Xie Wei think of the parameters of the Type 03 12-tube 300mm long-range rocket launcher.

The data is similar.

This……

For a moment, Xie Wei became worried. Can this succeed?

03式12管300mm远程火箭炮是九十年代才开始研究的，现在研究远程火箭炮的单位正在搞的83式273mm远程火箭炮，都搞了很多年，最大射程也只有40公里。

Even though the research was successful in 83, the troops were not satisfied due to the backward fire control system and low shooting accuracy.

Only two battalions were equipped for artillery training.

The WM-80 long-range rocket launcher with a range of 80 kilometers, which was improved on this basis, also had poor technical performance.

The situation introduced by Fang Pengju made Xie Wei feel that this project was somewhat unreliable.

Although he had never come into close contact with the army's long-range rocket launchers, Xie Wei had close contact with and understood the "Double 11" in the Middle East every time.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xie Wei frowning and lost in thought, Fang Pengju asked him.

"Director Fang, is the demonstration work reliable for a rocket launcher with such a long range?"

"We have already conducted several rounds of demonstrations. Before we enter the sample trial production stage, we also need funds to produce a full-scale model wind tunnel. Only after the wind tunnel test is successful can we manufacture samples..."

Fang Pengju patiently explained to Xie Wei's questions.

Afraid that Xie Wei would not help to ask for funds, he hurriedly added, "The cost of the full-scale model of the wind tunnel experiment is also included..."

Xie Wei was even more surprised.

The cost is so low...

"Xie Wei, now we need to conduct test firings before we can make further improvements. Only after we have developed this model can we have the foundation to conduct research on rocket launchers with longer ranges..."

"Okay, I'll help you find a way to solve the funding problem."

Xie Wei sent Fang Pengju away.

Long-range rocket launchers still have a very bright future in the international market.

The prerequisite is that it can be successfully developed.

The Iran-Iraq War was about to break out, so the only way was to seize the opportunity to sell rocket launchers and use their actual combat effects to build a reputation.

We should help to ask for funds.

"Ah? Sixth brother, we have discipline..."

In the evening, Xie Wei called Feng Ke outside alone, wanting to understand the real situation of the rocket launcher project.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Fang Pengju. After all, Fang Pengju has been wanting to develop a super-long-range rocket launcher for so many years and was even considered a madman. Now that he has the opportunity, he definitely doesn’t want to miss it.

When introducing something, it is better to exaggerate a little so that people won’t be surprised.

Feng Ke looked at Xie Wei in embarrassment.

"Code of Confidentiality", doesn't Xie Wei know?

"Director Fang came to see me today..."

Xie Wei knew Feng Ke's concerns, so he briefly told him what Fang Pengju had told him, which immediately surprised Feng Ke.

He didn't expect that Director Fang would tell Xie Wei all these secrets.

"Before I went there, Director Fang had actually completed the design work. The main task of the project team in the past six months is to conduct demonstration... For now, there is no problem in theory."

Even so, Feng Ke did not disclose any data for the project.

Xie Wei was speechless.

However, after knowing that the project was theoretically fine, he was not too worried.

Money problem?

There is nothing to worry about. Principal Li can take a trip to Shanghai. Although there are not many schools there, there are many research institutes and factories, and even the only large civilian aircraft factory in the country.

There will be no shortage of orders for calculators.

"Squad leader, have you forgotten that we also have a communications project?"

The next morning, Mo Lingyu asked Xie Wei while he was jogging with him.

"???"

"Teacher Liang asked us to speed up the progress of our project..."

Nima!

Xie Wei almost swore.

Liang Hongbin, this old silver coin, didn't come to find himself, but asked Mo Lingyu to come to find him!
It's still for funding.
