"Ring ring ring!"
The rapid ringing alarmed several people who were talking in the room. Zhou Yang immediately apologized and grabbed the phone on the table.
Gu Chenghua and others also stopped talking, but did not go out!
"Hello, I'm Zhou Yang, who are you?"
"Director, there is a call from the capital for you. Is it convenient for you to answer it?"
"Come in!"
"yes!"
The call was quickly connected, and then a calm voice came from the phone: "Hello, Comrade Zhou Yang, I am Shi Jianqiang, deputy director of the Office of the Equipment Department!"
"Hello, Director Shi, may I have any instructions?" Zhou Yang said immediately.
"It's like this. The minister will have a phone call with you in half an hour. Do you have any time issues there?"
"No problem, I'm available anytime!"
"It's 8:20 now. You should call the minister on time at 8:50. The minister has to report to the elders in the morning. Time is limited. Don't waste your time!" Director Shi warned.
"clear!"
"good!"
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
As soon as Zhou Yang put down the phone, he heard Gu Chenghua say in surprise: "Mr. Jiang actually asked you to call back on your own initiative. This is not common. Could something big have happened?"
Gu Chenghua and others all heard the phone call just now, and everyone was surprised.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "It's not common, but I don't know the details, and don't ask around. I won't hide what I should tell you, and it's useless to ask about what I can't tell you!"
"I didn't ask. We all remember the confidentiality regulations. I just want to remind you that the situation in southern Xinjiang is not stable during this period. I'm afraid Mr. Jiang is looking for you because of this matter. You'd better call Mr. Yang over and ask. They should be aiming at the progress of radar production!" Gu Chenghua said.
Zhou Yang knew that there was a big boss in Gu Chenghua's family, and it was not surprising that he knew the situation in southern Xinjiang.
After thinking for a while, he immediately said: "You are right to remind me. I will call him right now..."
Halfway through, Zhou Yang turned to Chen Beixuan next to him and said, "Beixuan, drive to Xiaohewan, pick up Comrade Yang Tiemin, and tell him that I have something to do with him!"
"yes!"
After Chen Beixuan left, Zhou Yang looked at Gu Chenghua and others and said, "You all go about your own business. If anything happens, we will talk about it later!"
"OK!"
Afterwards, several people left Zhou Yang's office together!
Ten minutes later, Chen Beixuan walked in with Yang Tiemin, the head of the gun sight radar production factory.
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Tiemin, who looked exhausted, took the initiative and asked: "Director, are you looking for me?"
"sit!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "Lao Yang, I would like to ask how the production of our 120 gun sighting radars is going?"
"Director, we have completed the production of 87 units so far, and there are still 33 units left. It is expected that the production should be completed by the end of April!" Yang Tiemin replied.
"Why are you so slow? Is your brother's unit holding you back?" Zhou Yang frowned.
Zhou Yang still knows about the situation at the Artillery Sighting Radar Factory. Under normal circumstances, they can build an artillery reconnaissance radar in six hours. Now, they have only produced 87 units in nearly four months. This speed is really slow!
"Director, you also know that the thousands of radar components in our factory are all supplied by other brother units. As long as one of the factories does not supply in time, our production progress will be affected." Yang Tiemin said helplessly.
"Then which unit is affecting the production progress now?" Zhou Yang said.
"There are probably seven or eight units, but the main reason is that the supply of radar chassis vehicles is not in time..."
After hearing this, Zhou Yang also fell silent.
The company that provides the power and chassis for their radar vehicles is the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant. As the largest supplier of military vehicles, the FAW Plant is currently very popular.
In comparison, their 888 lives are nothing in the eyes of others.
If it weren't for the help of the equipment department, they might not be able to order a car from FAW. It can be said that in the process of cooperation with FAW, their research institute is very passive.
"I understand, I will find a way to solve this matter!"
Then Zhou Yang asked again: "Lao Yang, if all parts can be supplied in time, how much production can you achieve?"
"At least 100 movies every month. If you work hard, 130 movies won't be impossible!" Yang Tiemin said.
"Okay, I understand. Now go find Mr. Guo and Mr. Zheng and ask them to do some calculations to see which parts we can produce ourselves!" Zhou Yang said.
"Director, do you want our factory to produce parts by ourselves?" Yang Tiemin asked in surprise.
"With this idea, it doesn't feel right to always be so controlled by others!"
"But the military's demand for our radars doesn't seem to be high. It only ordered 120 units last year. Is it necessary to have so many parts supply factories for such a small demand?" Yang Tiemin said.
“The demand is not high now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be high in the future!”
Seeing what Yang Tiemin wanted to say, Zhou Yang immediately said again: "Okay, I will consider this matter seriously. You can go find Mr. Zheng and the others first!"
"yes!"
After watching Yang Tiemin leave, Zhou Yang took a deep breath.
Zhou Yang had thought about producing his own parts before. After all, it was really hard to be controlled by others.
But as Yang Tiemin said, it is definitely unrealistic to build so many supporting facilities for the annual demand for more than 100 radars.
The country has built so many hardware machinery factories and electronic component factories specifically to supply units like them. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to build a factory of your own.
However, the situation is different now. On the one hand, the battle to defend southern Xinjiang is getting closer. When the war breaks out there, the role of artillery radar on the battlefield will be highlighted.
As expected, there will definitely be more and more orders for artillery reconnaissance radars in the future.
More importantly, he copied the Type 888 based on the domestic Type 371 artillery reconnaissance radar. This radar has been in military service since it was installed in the army in the 1980s and has never been eliminated.
In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, this artillery reconnaissance radar will continue to serve in our army in the future, so the production authority of each component must be controlled by itself.
What’s more, I didn’t dare to do such a complicated thing before. In addition to being unnecessary, more importantly, I couldn’t build or maintain so many factories.
But now the higher-ups are discussing his military-to-civilian plan. Once approved, these factories may become tools for the institute to make money.
For example, electronic component factories can produce various small household appliances, and can also provide components for upcoming TV manufacturers.
Another example is the car chassis used for artillery reconnaissance. If that thing is produced, it will have great market prospects. If he remembers correctly, the No. 1 Machinery Factory in Lucheng later made money because of the famous Beiben heavy truck. The pots are full.
Because of this, Zhou Yang had this idea.
But whether it will work or not depends on the meaning above.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at his watch and found that it was almost 8:50.
At that moment, he adjusted his emotions a little, and then dialed the equipment department.
Soon, the call was received at Mr. Jiang’s office!
"Hello, Comrade Zhou Yang?"
"Mr. Jiang, it's me!" Zhou Yang said hurriedly.
"I only have half an hour. Let's keep the story short. I'm talking to you on the phone today mainly because I have a few things to tell you. Please listen carefully!" Mr. Jiang said seriously.
"Yes, I'm listening!"
"The first thing is that after careful deliberation, the elders above have basically agreed to your military-to-civilian plan, but after all, it involves tens of thousands of military-industrial units and scientific research institutes across the country, as well as so many Colleges and universities, so the higher-ups feel it is necessary to find a few pilot units to see the effects. Your institute is on the list of the first batch of pilot units, and it is also the unit that the higher-ups focus on, so you must be mentally prepared!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang's heart immediately moved and he hurriedly asked: "Chief, what powers does this pilot unit have? You can't just give the title of a pilot unit, right?"
"I know what you want to ask, but the specific authority hasn't been determined yet. You can figure out the rest by yourself!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
The above is tantamount to decentralization, which means that before the formal plan is introduced, they can do it with confidence and boldness, as long as it is not illegal or criminal!
This is really a piece of cake for their research institute!
With the support of the above policies, he is still worried!
At this moment, Mr. Jiang’s voice came again on the phone...
