With the help of the loudspeaker, Wang Ye's voice echoed throughout the sky, accompanied by the bright melody of the welcome march.
On the viewing platform, hearing Wang Ye's pretentious voice, everyone had different expressions, which was wonderful.
I saw old man Wei Qingshan slapping the table directly. He couldn't help but raise his head and laugh while slapping. The old man Zhou Jinlie next to him had a face full of shock, and then started to frown and smile bitterly. As for Director Liang who was sitting with him, he covered his face. He turned his head, with an expression that he couldn't look straight at.
As for the other accompanying people, some were surprised, some were stunned, some were suppressing laughter, and some were laughing at the fun.
If Wang Ye just held a small-scale military parade, and even took out the weapons and equipment stored in the machinery factory in violation of regulations, the people present would not be so out of control. In fact, the two weapons held by the four young people opposite The banner, coupled with the factory gas tank, made everyone burst into laughter. This was simply ridiculous!
Forget it's a fire parade, the first one to appear is a gas tank, who can stand it?
at the same time.
Just as Wang Ye was introducing it, the first square array had already approached the viewing platform. All of them were seen with their bare arms, and their knotted muscles looked particularly masculine. This perfectly illustrates that our workers are powerful and everyone can carry the burden. Holding a gas tank, he strode past like a strong man.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the stage calmed down their expressions and paid attention to the "soldiers" in the audience.
"Leader, chief, come on!"
At this moment, Wang Ye handed the microphone in front of the two leaders. Old man Zhou Jinlie was stunned for a moment. Old man Wei Qingshan next to him reacted instantly, stood up directly, waved and shouted:
"Hello, comrades!"
At this moment, the phalanx has arrived in front of the viewing platform, and the sound of "salute" sounded. The strong workers carrying gas tanks turned their heads and looked towards the viewing platform. This is called the attention ceremony.
Along with the voice of old man Wei Qingshan, thirty strong men shouted with great enthusiasm:
"Hello, Chief!"
Then Wei Qingshan pushed the microphone in front of Zhou Jinlie, and Zhou Jinlie, who had already stood up, quickly shouted:
"Good job, comrades!"
In an instant, the thirty sturdy workers carrying gas tanks shouted again in anger:
"Serve the people!"
This time Wang Ye didn't use the microphone at all, and shouted at the top of his lungs with a loudspeaker:
"The square array that is passing by the viewing platform, they are holding the heavy-duty fire-fighting mortar, the star product of our Red Star Machinery Factory. This type of fire-fighting mortar is low-cost, simple to assemble, and easy to launch. Its effective range can reach one kilometer. , the fire extinguishing radius reached two hundred meters.”
"Currently, it has earned US$4.4 million in foreign exchange for the country. It has remarkable fire-fighting effects, good customer experience, and has created a good reputation in Africa."
"This is our Hongxing Machinery Factory's flagship product to open up foreign markets!"
At this moment, only two old men were seen standing there, watching the phalanx below go away.
The staff of the Ministry of National Defense of the Fifth Machinery Department accompanying him, if they had not received special training, would have been unable to hold back their laughter when they heard Wang Ye's serious voice and looked at the scene in front of them.
"Following closely behind the heavy fire-fighting mortar array is our long-range agricultural rainfall enhancement, fire-fighting and fire-extinguishing dual-purpose rocket launcher array."
"They hold their heads high, their steps are vigorous, their eyes are firm, they are aiming at agricultural development and forest protection and fire prevention in the new era. They use the equipment in their hands to protect the safety of national forestry resources and property and promote the stable development of the motherland's agricultural resources!"
Following Wang Ye's voice, the second phalanx came over. Wang Ye's original plan was to use a launcher to hold steel pipe rockets. This way, a unit of forty rounds seemed stronger, but the machine factory did not have a loader that could carry it. Tools can only be given up.
So at this moment, in everyone's sight, there were thirty strong men approaching, each carrying a steel pipe rocket on their shoulders. They looked so wild!
"The square array that is passing by the viewing platform is carrying the new star product of Hongxing Machinery Factory, which is a long-range agriculture rain-increasing fire-fighting dual-purpose rocket. This product makes up for the shortcomings of the heavy fire-fighting mortar's short range. At the same time, it created a new category of agricultural equipment called rain-increasing rockets in China."
"Its effective range reaches 15 kilometers. The launch method is simple. It can be electrical or fire. It can be launched single-shot or in groups. It can be equipped with a variety of fire-fighting warheads and rain-increasing warheads to achieve different operational purposes."
"Currently, this product has received an order of up to US$2 million from Tanzania and will be delivered soon."
“It will definitely become the backbone of foreign exchange earning in the future!”
If the people on the auditorium felt a little funny just now and couldn't help laughing, but now they have completely calmed down, and some even showed envy involuntarily!
Especially those staff from the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense!
After all, the cost of these things in the past was negligible to the naked eye, but the foreign exchange generated was an astonishing sky-high price. Even for the cadres and staff of the ministries, it was a quite huge number!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
“I’m convinced that the business has done this!”
"How about we sell gas cans too!"
"More money than selling tanks!"
Taking advantage of the gap, old man Wei Qingshan couldn't help but sigh to the old man Zhou Jinlie next to him. Although old man Wei Qingshan said that selling gas tanks makes more money than selling tanks, it was indeed an exaggeration. But in a sense, it is true. question.
At present, the most exported tanks from China are mainly the Type 69 tanks, which are modified and upgraded based on the Type 59 tanks. The current selling price of this tank in the international market is, for example, the same customer as the Red Star Machinery Factory in Tanzania. , the price is just over one million US dollars per unit!
In other words.
Wang Ye's side sells a thousand gas tanks for 400,000 U.S. dollars, while the Ministry of National Defense and the Fifth Machinery Department only earn just over one million U.S. dollars from selling one tank!
After such a comparison, we can find an obvious problem, that is, the profit of tanks is actually not high, and it can even be said to be very, very meager. After all, if you want to produce a tank, you have to consume at least thirty or forty tons of steel. Not to mention that there are other devices that cost even more!
Of course, there are three main reasons why the tanks currently exported by China are so cheap.
On the one hand, the technology is not advanced and the performance of the tank is not very strong. On the other hand, there are few countries that buy it, so it can only be sold cheaply and at a reduced price. On the third hand, in order to maintain the domestic tank production line, as long as the price does not lose money, then you can buy it!
Even if you lose a small amount of money, you still have to sell it!
Otherwise, if the domestic army does not purchase tanks, or purchases too few tanks, will Baotou No. 2 Machinery Factory and Luotuo No. 1 Factory go bankrupt? If these two companies go bankrupt and war suddenly breaks out, who will produce tanks?
After all, the production line has stopped, the equipment will age and be scrapped, the workers will have to be transferred, and the transfer will become unfamiliar, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains will be transformed. After the transformation, it will be extremely difficult to switch back. When production started, there was nothing!
But look at the machinery factory.
Whether it is a gas tank or a steel pipe rocket, the cost is very small, but it can be sold at such a terrifying price, and the profit margin is astonishingly high!
"you do not say!"
"It's a pity that this business is too tricky, so we can't promote it and let it go!"
"Otherwise, we are going to get rich?"
Regarding what Wei Qingshan said, Zhou Jinlie nodded in agreement and said with emotion.
Just as the two of them were talking, the third phalanx also came over. Generally speaking, the third phalanx is also the most normal and serious phalanx currently, because there are thirty of them, each holding three special fire grenades. set.
However, these grenade launchers were all spray-painted overnight by Wang Ye last night in the red color commonly used in fire-fighting equipment. They were also painted with neat white stripes, without the sharp and oppressive feeling of weapons.
"Next, our final phalanx will appear. They are equipped with the most high-end, complex and expensive fire-fighting equipment currently in our machinery factory!"
"They are the forest fire patrol aircraft phalanx!"
Along with Wang Ye's roar, the door of the workshop slowly opened again. In everyone's surprised and stunned eyes, they saw one rotorcraft after another, accompanied by the roar of the engine, like an elephant strolling, from The workshop slowly opened up!
At that moment, everyone on the viewing platform stood up involuntarily!
Director Liang, who knew the machinery factory best, looked at the helicopter-like rotorcraft driving out, his eyes flashing with horror. He didn't even know when Wang Ye secretly made this thing!
But the next second, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
"That production line! The motorcycle production line!"
"Wang Ye used a motorcycle engine to actually create an airplane?"
When this thought flashed past, Director Liang felt like a drowning person being rescued. He couldn't help but swallow big mouthfuls of air, because this scene was completely beyond his imagination!
After all, Director Liang knew very well that that production line could only produce ordinary motorcycle engines, and the gap between motorcycles and airplanes seemed like a natural chasm to Director Li!
"take off!"
The next second, Wang Ye made a strange gesture of bending his legs and waving to the right.
Following his voice, the front phalanx gave way, and the gyrocopter at the front suddenly began to accelerate. In just twenty meters, with the roar of the engine and the rotation of the propeller, the gyrocopter flew straight away. stand up!
This scene once again stunned everyone present!
After all, in this era, gyroplanes are a strange concept to everyone, not just to machinery factories, but also to leaders like Wei Qingshan and Zhou Jinlie!
Because the rotorcraft is still a very rare type of aircraft, it has few commercial military applications and market share internationally, not to mention domestically!
"This? Helicopter? No!"
"What kind of plane is this?"
At this moment, the old man Wei Qingshan who stood up looked at the roaring landings taking off one after another. The last five of them entered the air, and the rotorcraft gradually rose and went away, and blurted out a surprised voice.
For the old man Wei Qingshan, he was engaged in warfare work. Coupled with China's past isolation, it was normal to not know the rotorcraft.
"It's a gyroplane!"
"The upper rotor only provides lift, and the rear rotor provides power."
"So it cannot take off vertically like a helicopter, nor can it hover in the air. It needs to glide to take off."
But the old man Zhou Jinlie who was working in the military industry next to him could see what was flying in the sky at a glance, and explained the basic working principle of the rotorcraft to the old man Wei Qingshan next to him in a few words.
"The Red Star Machinery Factory still has the ability to produce aircraft, right?"
Hearing the voice of old man Zhou Jinlie, old man Wei Qingshan asked in disbelief. At this time, old man Zhou Jinlie looked at the rotorcraft in the sky with burning eyes, then turned to look at Wang Ye and exclaimed:
"Of course not. How did it happen?"
"Then we have to ask Factory Director Wang Da!"
"The grenade launcher a few days ago shocked us, but we didn't expect that you, the boy, would actually be holding such a big one?"
"Have all the planes been built?"
Under the complicated gazes of Zhou Jinlie, Wei Qingshan and many people present, Wang Ye explained with a smile:
"We initially raised US$400,000 in foreign exchange, hoping to purchase a diesel engine production line through the Industrial Bureau channel, and prepare to start serious agricultural machinery and produce tractors and other products."
"But I didn't expect that all the units would look down on our 400,000 US dollars, let alone a loan, and they were unwilling to deal with us."
"In the end, it was Director Liang who brokered the deal and contacted us about a motorcycle engine production line from Quancheng. In the end, we spent 300,000 US dollars to purchase this production line."
"The production line has arrived, but we are having difficulty with what products to produce. We have never done motorcycles before! Besides, we have not investigated the market. If we enter the industry rashly, we may suffer heavy losses."
"So I decided to build a larger-displacement motorcycle engine and produce gyroplanes."
"Then our forest fire patrol aircraft project was established."
"After such a long time, the test flight was successful yesterday. A total of five prototypes were produced, and they were all brought out today to support the scene!"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, old man Wei Qingshan and old man Zhou Jinlie looked at each other, and then old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but laughed and cursed directly:
"You've never done anything with a motorcycle, but you've done it with a gyroplane?"
"You haven't conducted market research on motorcycles, but you have done research on gyroplanes? Can you sell them?"
Faced with what Zhou Jinlie said, Wang Ye nodded seriously and said:
"You are right. I never fight an unprepared battle. I conducted market research seriously."
"According to my research, 80% of African countries currently do not have an air force, nor do they have any air vehicles or flying capabilities. Faced with such a vacancy and a huge market, it is certainly worth a try for us!"
"According to the original plan, our fire-extinguishing grenade machine gun will be mounted on it, and fire-proof bombs will be hung on the racks on both sides."
"Just a set like this can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. It's so good and cheap."
"Hey! Guess how there is no market for our forest fire patrol aircraft?"
“It will definitely sell well on the African continent!”
After Wang Ye finished speaking, old people Wei Qingshan and Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but look at each other again. Others around them also looked at each other because they couldn't help but fantasize about that scene, which seemed interesting!
