Chapter 495 The Peace Dove Carrying a Missile
Good opportunity, absolutely good opportunity. If this introduction project falls to their Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory, and if they also receive investment from Mingzhou Group, then their Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory will survive!
Now this is too rare. If you miss this village, you will not have this store. Therefore, Zhang Yuzhan almost didn’t think much and blurted out: "Mr. Qin, please give us this project. With this project, our Nanyang Diesel Engine The factory is…”
Snapped!
At that moment, someone slammed the table: "Lao Zhang, don't be so shameless!"
“That’s right, I’m giving you a huge favor by letting you come here to attend the meeting. You actually dare to ask for things here and take food from our mouths. You can’t even think of walking out of here today!”
“As long as I can get the project and bring the factory back to life, even if I get beaten to death by you today, it will still be worth it! Come on!”
Zhang Yuzhan said, got down from the chair, and planned to squat on the ground with his head in his hands and let others beat him.
"What are you doing in front of Mr. Qin? Lao Zhang, get up quickly, don't be embarrassed." Liu Bin said quickly.
This Zhang Yuzhan went too far. He was just trying to provoke everyone to beat someone. If he really did, he would really give him a piece of meat to eat.
Zhang Yuzhan then realized that it depends on Mr. Qin's opinion. He went to look at Qin Tao and found that Qin Tao had no expression on his face. He didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed.
“Mr. Qin, their Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory is about to close down. Don’t be fooled!”
Xia Minghai is still smart and can tell the truth with one word.
Zhang Yuzhan's face changed: "No, the centipede is dead but not stiff. As long as our factory has projects, it will definitely survive. Mr. Qin, do you want to annex our factory?"
If they join the Mingzhou Group, their factory will still have a backer.
Qin Tao smiled: "Does your factory want this project?"
Zhang Yuzhan nodded repeatedly.
"Then what are you trading for? Our Mingzhou Group is not a charity." Qin Tao said.
If you think that you can get Qin Tao to hand over the project to them in this way, of course it is impossible. There are tens of thousands of employees in your factory. What does it have to do with Qin Tao? Since it is business, let’s talk about business. alright.
They Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory, what else can they trade with Qin Tao?
“We can mortgage the factory to you.” Zhang Yuzhan said.
“Mr. Qin, don’t believe them. Their Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory building, including the machinery and equipment, is not worth much in total.”
“That’s right, their factory is absolutely incapable of digesting and absorbing these technologies. Their skilled workers have already left!”
“Mr. Qin, don’t be fooled by him.”
At this time, everyone in the conference room was heartbroken.
This is too much, directly in the conference room, trying to steal their cooperation with Mingzhou Group! If Qin Tao hadn't been here, they would have beaten Zhang Yuzhan violently.
"If you don't try, how do you know we don't have the ability?" Zhang Yuzhan argued with the crowd alone: "If this project comes into our hands, we will definitely go all out and find a way out! We have reached a critical moment. This is the bottom line!”
“Since you are so sincere, I have an idea.” Qin Tao finally spoke.
The conference room immediately calmed down.
“We, Mingzhou Group, need to invest 80% to purchase related technologies. However, we cannot hold 80% of the shares, we only hold 40%.”
Just now, we talked about this topic, but at that time Qin Tao said it was 50%. What about now? Now the shares are actually reduced by 10%?
"Mr. Qin, you..." Liu Bin couldn't believe it, but Qin Tao waved his hand to signal him not to interrupt him.
"It's just that the technology we purchased needs to be given to Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory in full." Qin Tao said: "This diesel engine factory will mortgage all the buildings, equipment, and everything to us. Within five years, if If the factory cannot produce qualified products, then we will take back all the collateral."
“Mr. Qin, just merge our factory,” Zhang Yuzhan said.
Qin Tao smiled: "You are now a non-performing asset, and no one can take over this hot potato, so you still have to save yourself. It is better to rely on yourself than relying on others."
Liu Bin also understood.
Qin Tao wants to support their competitors!
The complete set of technology for this TBD620 diesel engine is introduced to them, and Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory has a share. If the latter succeeds in imitating it, Hechai will become a competitor!
But, are they worthy?
Obviously unworthy!
Our side has been digesting and absorbing the technology of German companies. They already have successful imitation experience in the past, so after getting the technology, they will definitely be the first to imitate it!
Mr. Qin has given Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory a hope. However, Mr. Qin will never place all his hopes on Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory. This will be very dangerous, and Mr. Qin will not be stupid enough to acquire Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory.
Even if you think about it the other way around, this is Mr. Qin’s unique skill!
●We will exchange all the fixed assets of Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory for a share of the technology shared with the brother factory. Moreover, after Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory obtains the technology, it still has to study and figure it out, and it also needs to invest funds. How will these funds come from?
It is impossible for Mingzhou Group to invest more funds.
So, Qin Tao's plan was a test for Zhang Yuzhan.
Want to be supported even if you are miserable? Of course that's impossible. If you want meat, work hard! The problems encountered by the enterprise should be overcome by themselves. The project has already been established. It is necessary to block the fixed assets of their entire factory and the fate of the entire factory!
“Mr. Qin, thank you for giving our factory a way to survive. I will go back now and announce the plan you proposed to the factory and report to the leaders. We will give you an answer as soon as possible.”
Zhang Yuzhan definitely can't decide this kind of thing alone. He has to go back to work.
Qin Tao nodded: "I'll give you one day to think about it."
Qin Tao is very busy, and it is rare to waste an extra day for such a trivial matter.
After speaking, he looked at Liu Bin again: "Does your factory have any objections?"
Have it? Of course, it’s a big opinion! They would rather give Mingzhou Group 80% of the shares and take the technology into their own hands. However, they also know that since Mr. Qin has said it, there is no possibility of changing his words.
Although they have to compete, they are not afraid at all!
Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory, a company that is about to go bankrupt, what’s so scary about it? Hechai is full of confidence.
Seeing Liu Bin nodding, Qin Tao was also very satisfied: "Okay, let's leave it like this for now. Take me to your production line to see. Maybe there are really good engines suitable for our civilian ships."
"Mr. Qin, do you want to take a rest first?" Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao.
Qin Tao glanced at Xu Zhengyang suspiciously, then nodded.
There is a small lounge next to the conference room. No one dared to disturb Mr. Qin's rest. They were all waiting outside.
Inside, Qin Tao drank coffee while listening to Xu Zhengyang's complaints.
“Mr. Qin, we have to spend more money this year.”
Had I known it earlier, I would not have brought Mr. Qin here. I originally thought that Mr. Qin was just visiting and inspecting, and did not want to invest, or I did not expect to invest so much.
Eighty million US dollars!
Originally there was some surplus, but as a result, the money was spent and the group had to live a hard life again.
“The flowers are over?” Qin Tao was a little surprised.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, we have been advancing funds to the navy for that aircraft carrier. We have also invested heavily in overseas construction, including the port in Laoba, the shipyard in Rainbow Kingdom, and various domestic design offices. We need money. Recently, our Fourth Design Department sent a report requesting a sum of funds to build a prototype, but we have been holding back the approval."
Qin Tao didn't care about Hua Chao, but was interested in what Xu Zhengyang said about the Fourth Design Office.
“The Fourth Design Department is going to build a prototype? So soon?”
"Yes, Mr. Qin, you promised Alexeyeva that you would invest 50 million in related projects within five years. It is not good for us to keep suppressing the approval." Xu Zhengyang said.
Mingzhou Group has four design offices. The first design office is in Mingzhou. It mainly designs various ships, including civilian ships and warships. It is large and comprehensive. The second design office specializes in aircraft carriers, the third design office specializes in submarines, and the fourth design office specializes in high-end ground-effect aircraft.
At the beginning, Qin Tao went to see the Caspian Sea Monster and abducted the daughter of designer Alexeyev back, and established a department specializing in the research of ground-effect aircraft.
Of course, Qin Tao only provided funds, and Alexeyeva did everything else herself, including poaching former companions, poaching domestic college students, etc. With her love for ground-effect aircraft, Alexeyeva The baby has been working hard.
Qin Tao completely became a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn’t even visit after that.
Now that he heard Xu Zhengyang talking about this, Qin Tao became interested.
“How big are you planning to build this prototype?”
"There are currently two plans, one of which is a small one with a take-off weight of only five tons, used to verify the flight control system, and the other is a two-hundred-ton medium-sized ground effect aircraft, which can directly be used in practical applications, whether it is It can be practical for deploying anti-ship missiles or transporting personnel and equipment."
Qin Tao nodded: "This project cannot be delayed. We have already promised it at the beginning, so we must keep our word."
This is what Xu Zhengyang is worried about, there is not so much money!
"If you don't have enough funds, then think of ways to raise funds." Qin Tao said: "For example, if we ask the Pyramid people to place an order for the second submarine as soon as possible, for example, if the transportation company does more business, for example, if we ask the navy for money, they can't always They are delaying the checkout for us."
If you don’t have enough money to spend, then find a way to make more money! Don't skimp on spending just because you don't have enough money. This has always been Qin Tao's principle.
Xu Zhengyang nodded.
Since Mr. Qin insists, let’s do it as Mr. Qin said. Anyway, this diesel engine introduction project is indeed necessary to avoid being stuck by MTU.
“Mr. Qin, do you really want to help that Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory? What if this factory goes bankrupt?”
“When they went bankrupt, they demolished their factories and threw the equipment into the steel-making furnaces in Mingzhou.” Qin Tao said, “Then, they used the land to build houses and built residential communities and sold them.”
Qin Tao does not want to be a real estate developer, he wants to engage in industry, but he will never do a loss-making business.
If Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory is mud and cannot hold up the wall, what is there to say?
Of course we should develop that piece of land and stop the losses in time.
Xu Zhengyang nodded, and then asked: "What if they succeed?"
“If we succeed, we will take over this factory and make it a subsidiary diesel engine factory of our Mingzhou Group. This will just make up for a regret.”
At that time, Qin Tao planned to build a marine diesel engine factory, but he never succeeded. Qin Tao was unwilling to touch a third-tier factory. Although the location in Nanyang was not good, it was still a plain area.
“What about Hechai?”
The two factories both produce the same model of diesel engines, so they are definitely in a competitive relationship. The loading capacity of marine diesel engines is not large.
"Hechai?" Qin Tao smiled: "Their factory is stronger and can continue to modify the imported machines. With such competition, product performance will continue to improve, isn't it good for our shipyard?"
Xu Zhengyang nodded, Mr. Qin has always admired competition, and now it's the same drama.
After the break, Qin Tao continued to visit Hechai. He looked at the big guys being assembled on the production line and nodded frequently. Many of the machines were really good, and it was entirely possible to cooperate in the future.
The Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory was in a state of tension. After Zhang Yuzhan returned, he immediately held an emergency meeting, made a decision during the discussion, and hurriedly reported to his superiors.
The superior leaders held meetings until midnight.
For them, this is indeed a difficult choice.
Nanyang Diesel Engine Factory is indeed going bankrupt, but even if it is bankrupt, if the machines and factory buildings are sold, the workers can be given severance pay. If these are mortgaged to the Mingzhou Group, then they will have nothing. Once the project fails, they leave empty-handed.
Furthermore, subsequent digestion and absorption also cost money. Others cannot count on it, and they have to solve it themselves.
The risk is very high.
Of course Mingzhou Group will not give them alms. Qin Tao is a businessman.
However, they have no other choice. Although this is a gamble, they must try it!
In this way, they unified their determination: agree to the conditions proposed by the Mingzhou Group!
Qin Tao just makes decisions, and of course he will arrange for other people to do the follow-up related matters, such as asset evaluation, mortgage, etc., as well as the negotiations with the Mannheim Company. Hechai also sent people there. After all, they have done it before. Through cooperation, this time we will introduce a brand new diesel engine, and they will lead the negotiations.
Qin Tao directly acts as a hands-off shopkeeper. After the negotiation is completed, he only needs to pay the money.
Therefore, Xu Zhengyang's worries are somewhat unnecessary. This kind of introduction negotiation will take at least three to five months.
By then, Mingzhou Group will already have new income.
After leaving Hechai, Qin Tao embarked on his way home and went to Huating first.
The fourth design office is brand new. Qin Tao came forward to get a piece of land in Pudong and built this design office. The main body is a four-story building, and there is a family building next to it. As long as you come here to work, you can There is housing, so it is not difficult to recruit talents.
In the conference room, Qin Tao looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him and felt a little embarrassed. He should have come here a long time ago to take a look. Although he was also in Huating, he had never been there.
Tatyana Alexeyeva sat next to Qin Tao, with excitement on her face.
"Since the establishment of the design office, we have put in intense work. The biggest difficulty in ground-effect aircraft is control. Therefore, we have made many business trips to domestic wind tunnel institutions. Through a large number of wind tunnel experiments, we have found the best solution. A suitable shape for the ground effect aircraft, and a large amount of data was obtained to summarize the flight control law." Alexeyeva said: "Based on these, we designed two ground effect aircraft, with different sizes, but the same shape. akin."
On the projection screen, a design drawing of a ground-effect aircraft appeared.
Compared to the brutal and rough Soviet style, this ground effect aircraft looks much more beautiful, as if it has changed from a big man with a foot to a Xiaojiabiyu.
The overall design is in the style of an airplane, except that the belly is in the shape of a boat, making it easier to take off and land on water. The outer edges of the wings at the front are upwardly curved, and there is a T-shaped vertical tail at the back.
It's just that the layout of the engine is different.
The small ground-effect aircraft has an engine directly on the inside of the wing, which is transmitted to the fan in the front through the transmission shaft. The layout of the power system is similar to that of Tianyi-1. As for the medium-sized one, a short fan like a flower-tailed pigeon is added to the front. There are two engines on the left and right wings, similar to the Sea Eagle H680.
Qin Tao nodded. He was indeed a layman in this aspect, so he should listen more and talk less to avoid making jokes.
“At present, the relevant design work is almost completed. For the next construction, we need to find a special factory. Moreover, after the construction is completed, we also need to transport it to a suitable place for test flight.”
Qin Tao could ignore his previous work, but he would not be able to do so next time.
The Fourth Design Department is only responsible for design and has no production capabilities. Just like some electric vehicles in later generations, it only needs to make a good PPT, and the production is directly entrusted to an automobile factory.
Qin Tao nodded: "This kind of thing is similar to an airplane, so it's best to find an aircraft factory to produce it. Currently in China, Factory 112 and Factory 132 are busy, and they probably don't have time to produce it. I went there some time ago Factory 320 is in line with international standards and has no problem with its production capacity, but it can only produce small aircraft. How about we start with small ground-effect aircraft?"
Alexeyeva nodded. As long as the group continues to invest in her research, she will not complain. It doesn’t matter whether the problem is big or small. It’s okay to build the small one first.
"After it is built, it still needs to be tested." Alexeyeva said: "We need to find a suitable place for test flight."
The Caspian Sea monster in Lao Maozi's era was tested in the Caspian Sea. Anyway, it is almost equivalent to Lao Maozi's inland sea. What about the east? Where is the appropriate place for a test flight of this ground-effect aircraft from the Fourth Design Office?
Huating is close here, but the sea near Huating has dense shipping routes and too many ships, making it unsuitable for test flights.
What about other places? Looking for a lake in the country?
"For the test flight, there are two places to choose from." Qin Tao said: "Either, go to the north, the Wasteland Village Base. Or, go to the south, the Qiongzhou Base."
One north and one south, the span is large enough, but Qin Tao has no other way.
I’m not familiar with other places.
Wasteland Village has developed into the navy's carrier-based aircraft aviation training base and deck operation base. It is already very lively, and it is right next to the sea. It is absolutely no problem to transform the seaside into a ground-effect aircraft test flight base. .
To the south, it’s Qiongzhou. Qiongzhou also has a naval base. Just find an open space. The tourism industry there has not yet developed, and the nearby sea area is vast enough.
“You can go to these places to inspect and then determine which one is suitable.” Qin Tao said.
Alexeyeva nodded.
The meeting was almost over, but at this moment, a young man sitting below finally couldn't bear it any longer.
“Mr. Qin, our ground effect aircraft doesn’t have a name yet.”
name?
Alexeyeva nodded: "Yes, currently we are only called 01 and 02, only numbers, no names. Qin, come and give them a name."
Coming up with a name was the most troublesome thing. Qin Tao didn't want to waste his brains, so he immediately handed over the task to the people present: "Do you have any ideas?"
“There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun…”
Qin Tao quickly waved his hand, this name is not good!
The ground effect aircraft floats on the sea and then flies into the sky. It is really appropriate to call it Kunpeng. However, Qin Tao would not rush for the name of Yun-20 and immediately ruled out this name.
The young man who just made the suggestion looked disappointed.
“Its prototype is the flower-tailed pigeon. How about we give it a similar name, such as the little white pigeon?”
Qin Tao continued to shake his head, not being domineering enough.
This is the advantage of being a leader. The leader doesn’t have to do anything, as long as his subordinates do it and then reject their subordinates’ suggestions. In this process, there is still a great sense of accomplishment.
“How about the dove of peace?”
Hearing this suggestion, Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's the name!"
Others looked at the proposer curiously, wondering why Mr. Qin liked this name.
Isn’t Mr. Qin’s taste too strange?
"This small one is called Peace Dove 1. It can not only be used as a test aircraft for the flight control system. Once successful, it can also be used as a small tourist aircraft. It should be able to arrange a few seats in the back or transport cargo. After the test flight If it succeeds, our Shuangsha Island Moon Resort can also purchase a few to develop the tourism industry." Qin Tao's mind was wide open at this time, and he spoke out his thoughts endlessly.
"As for this medium-sized model, we will wait until the Peace Dove 1 test flight is successful and the stability of the flight control is verified before it can be transferred to production. Now we can make models and prepare to participate in future exhibitions. It will be more useful. For example, it is the same as the Flower-tailed Pigeon. , you can carry anti-ship missiles on your back."
A peace dove carrying an anti-ship missile? No wonder Mr. Qin is very satisfied with this name, it turns out it is also a bad taste!
