Xipo. Research Institute!
After Yun Changjie and others left, Zhou Yang fell into deep thought.
The situation of these military representatives was completely different from what he expected. In his opinion, out of the importance to Factory 888, the higher-ups might send some experienced military representatives.
Moreover, these people may have undergone rigorous training before arriving, and immediately took up their posts upon arrival, strictly controlling all production links in the factory.
He even thought that these military representatives might have conflicts with comrades in the factory over product quality or production specifications. After all, this kind of thing is very common in any military industrial unit.
But the current situation was completely different, and even seemed a little strange to him.
He really couldn't understand why the superiors sent such a group of child soldiers who knew nothing about Factory 888. Isn't this nonsense?
But when I think about it carefully, I think it’s impossible. How could the higher-ups do such boring things?
Therefore, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yang decided to find someone to ask. If he couldn't figure out this matter, he wouldn't feel at ease.
At that moment, he immediately took the phone and dialed a number!
After a period of beeping, the phone was picked up, and a crisp and clear voice came over: "Hello, comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm Zhou Yang from 888 Factory. Please pick up Mr. Jiang for me!"
"Please wait!"
That's right, the person Zhou Yang asked was Mr. Jiang. As the second-in-command of the equipment department, he should know this matter.
And based on Zhou Yang's understanding of this person, he even arranged this matter.
Just as Zhou Yang was deep in thought, a harsh sound came from the microphone, followed by Mr. Jiang's voice.
"I guess you're going to call me soon. You're here so quickly without anyone asking!"
"You always knew I was going to call you?"
"Well, are you here to ask for money?" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
Zhou Yang immediately understood that Mr. Nie and Mr. Jiang must have reported on the expansion of their research institute, so Mr. Jiang thought he was here to apply for funding from the Equipment Department.
Originally, Zhou Yang didn't plan to talk about this today. He wanted to wait for Qiao Weiguo to come up with the complete plan and budget, and then apply for funding with the superiors in a well-founded manner.
But since Mr. Jiang mentioned this matter, he decided to follow the big snake's lead and let the matter of construction funds go by the way.
At that moment, he said with a smile: "You are really clever, I am here to meet you today!"
"You don't know how difficult our current conditions are. Thousands of people are crowded into a palm-sized area. Research departments and production workshops are close to each other. There are not enough dormitories, not enough canteens, and not even enough toilets. It takes a long time to go to the toilet every day. Gotta line up!”
Then Zhou Yang continued: "Besides, you have arranged so many important tasks for us. In order not to affect the progress of the tasks, the expansion of the research institute is imminent. You have to get us some construction funds no matter what!"
Mr. Jiang also knew the situation of Factory 888, so he didn't say anything more and asked straight to the point: "How much money are you short of?"
"500000!"
"so much?"
Then Mr. Jiang said again: "I heard from Comrade Nie Nansun that Qingcheng has promised to give you 150,000 yuan, so why do you still need 500,000 yuan? Are you planning to build your little broken factory into a city?"
"Chief, 500,000 is actually not much for a research institute. Think about it, we not only have to build a new research laboratory, we also need to build two industrial plants, and we also need to build families..."
"Stop it, even if you say that you don't have that much money, the most I can allocate for you is 200,000, not even one cent more!"
"400,000, any less is really not enough!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have short-term worries. If we had built the research institute a little bigger at once last year, we wouldn't be as anxious as we are now. So this time we must do it in one step, otherwise not only may it affect the research progress , maybe we will continue to expand next year!”
There was a brief silence on the other side of the phone, and then he said: "300,000, no matter how much we can't get it out, you also know the situation in the country, there is really no money!"
At this point, Vice Minister Jiang is not deliberately crying about poverty. So many things happened in the country last year, not to mention the collapse of Dinghai Shenzhen one after another, and natural disasters continued.
The domestic economy is really in bad shape right now. The government has a serious deficit, and the money allocated to them is much less than last year.
And there is more than one 888 factory in the Equipment Department. All the factories are in desperate need of support. It is difficult for them too!
However, Zhou Yang didn't care about this. He had dealt with the Equipment Department all his life in his previous life, and he was already familiar with how to successfully obtain scientific research funding from the superiors.
At the moment, he coughed lightly and said: "Chief, our early warning aircraft radar has made a major breakthrough, and now we need to build an experimental platform..."
"350,000, no more!"
"make a deal!"
"I will allocate the money to you as soon as possible. Save some of it for me, kid. Every penny is the hard-earned money of ordinary people, so it can't be wasted!"
"Please rest assured, chief, I promise to spend every minute wisely!" Zhou Yang said firmly.
"Well, is there anything else? If not..."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Chief, I want to ask what's going on with those military representatives?" Zhou Yang asked directly.
"What's going on?"
"We currently only have one assembly workshop and two assembly lines. We don't need eight military representatives, right?"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Besides, they are all young people and have no experience. Do you really trust them to control the quality of the product?"
Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Do you really think they are here to supervise your production?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. If you really want to send someone to supervise, how can you send these young people there? There are so many outstanding military representatives in our Military Agency Bureaus everywhere!"
"Then they are..."
Mr. Jiang's tone changed and he said seriously: "Zhou Yang, I have specially selected people, and these people are only the first batch. There will be three more batches, and eventually 50 military representatives will be sent to you. !”
"so much?"
"Well, I sent them there for two purposes. The first is to study!"
"study?"
"Yes, the production method of modular design, parallel production of multiple lines, and bus assembly that your boy came up with is very interesting. After our research, we intend to promote it throughout the army!"
Then Mr. Jiang said again: "As the last step to control quality, military representatives must understand the basic situation of this production model, so the main purpose of those young people going to you is to learn this. You must not hide it. Tuck it in and teach it carefully!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely teach these people clearly!" Zhou Yang said.
"That's good. The second purpose is to cultivate and accumulate talents for your 888 factory!"
Later, Mr. Jiang changed his voice and said earnestly: "Although the scale of your 888 factory is not large, your research and development capabilities are beyond our expectations. Not only me, but also many leaders of the military have placed their trust in you. High hopes.”
"In the future, in addition to gun sighting radars, your factory will also be responsible for the mass production of radar systems for J-8 fighter jets. If an early warning aircraft is developed, you will definitely be responsible for the production of radar systems. Naturally, military representatives stationed on site will be indispensable. , it is necessary to cultivate it in advance.”
Hearing Mr. Jiang's words, Zhou Yang was slightly shocked.
He had speculated before that the higher-ups were interested in cultivating the Babaoliang Research Institute into a large-scale research institute like Jinling 14th Institute and Neijiang 607th Institute, and their products would also develop into series products.
Now it seems that I guessed it right!
"Please rest assured, chief, we will do our best to live up to the trust of the organization!"
"Okay, I still have a meeting, so I won't tell you anymore!"
"yes..."
