Chapter 964: Being fished?
It was already noon after this, and everyone was hungry, so they could only go to eat first.
However, after all, the bidding meeting had no results, so many people ate the meal absent-mindedly, especially Yang Dawei. He was thinking about whether the bidding would be successful and whether the myth of Mingzhou Group would be ended, and the meal was even more tasteless.
However, Qin Tao was not affected. At the dinner table, he was joking with Sun Xuewen while eating.
"Mr. Sun, you have really impressed us this time. You have presented such an awesome warship. When we saw your design drawings this morning, our minds were buzzing, thinking that this time we might end up in the gutter. Capsized.”
Sun Xuewen smiled: "Mr. Qin, we didn't do anything. We just enlarged the previous warships and used them for bidding. We are still in a hurry and have little experience. When it comes to this warship design, it is still your Mingzhou As a group, we are just here to make soy sauce.”
“The soy sauce guy? He caught us off guard.”
"President Qin, the Navy has not yet made a final decision, but even if it is made, our Bincheng Shipyard does not have the ability to build it independently. At that time, the order will still have to be shared with our Mingzhou Group, and many subsystems will have to fall to In your hands, for example, the power system we use, the main engine belongs to your Tianjiao Aviation."
Sun Xuewen knew that Mr. Qin was aboveboard. Even if his side won the contract, Mr. Qin would not have any complaints, and the interests would be shared equally. Even if they won the order, Mingzhou Group would have to get certain benefits.
The main engine is Tianjiao Aviation's UGT40000, the integrated power system is from Golden Sun Motor Co., Ltd., and the tail propeller is from Huating Machinery Factory. All these can only be supplied by Mingzhou Group. When the time comes, Mingzhou Group will ask for any price, and they will never accept it. Frown your brows!
Even though the navy placed too many orders, they couldn't make them, and some of the orders were awarded to the Mingzhou Group.
Everyone knows that the Mingzhou Group's third shipyard is about to start construction. This shipyard is next to the naval base and was originally intended to build warships. With so much production capacity waiting to be released, the Navy will definitely not treat Mingzhou Group badly. There will be many orders. .
At this time, after hearing Sun Xuewen's words, Qin Tao smiled: "Mr. Sun, if you said this in front of the navy leaders, they thought we were playing some trick in private."
"This doesn't have to be done in private, it just needs to be done openly." A naval leader said: "This is popular now. Look at the United States. Both parties to the bid will sign relevant agreements in private. The party that loses the bid can also obtain R&D projects from the winner. "
This is really how Americans play. They sign relevant agreements before bidding. No matter who wins the bid, they must allocate part of the research and development tasks to the other party, so that a win-win situation can be achieved.
Now, the same is true here in the East. No matter who wins the bid, Mingzhou Group will share a part of the profit. After all, only Mingzhou Group can produce many parts.
Qin Tao glanced at Sun Xuewen and admired him even more. What he said was actually to the leaders of the navy. Don't worry that Qin Tao is the son-in-law of Leader Wu. Even if the Mingzhou Group fails, there will still be profits. Just choose with confidence.
"You have posed a difficult problem for us." Wu Shengli said: "How to choose between the two warships now has nothing to do with one of your shipyards, but to take into account the strategic direction of our navy's future development."
Wu Shengli made a statement: He will not protect his son-in-law. The choice depends on the needs of the navy. However, the navy has not yet made a decision on the strategic direction of this development. Should it be an anti-missile type or a fleet command type?
As long as the navy determines this, it can determine which one to choose.
"Lao Wu, since we have difficulty choosing, how about we simply report this to our superiors and let them make decisions for us?"
Wu Shengli rolled his eyes at the person who made the suggestion: "Old Wang, what are you thinking? If we report to our superiors, our superiors will still ask us what we think. When the time comes, not only will we not be able to get the results, but we will also make our superiors despise our navy. weak-minded."
This kind of thing is a matter for the navy. How can we let our superiors make the decision?
“How about we produce two warships at the same time like last time?”
Wu Shengli rolled his eyes at this man again: "Old Zhao, this is a 10,000-ton warship, and it is expensive to build. Isn't it the past when five or six thousand-ton warships were built? With such an expensive warship, can we cross the river by feeling the stones? We are at most To build eight ships, do we need half anti-missile type and half fleet command type? When we need to perform a separate mission, which type should be sent there? "
From a logistical point of view, the fewer models of warships, the better. From the perspective of warship expenditures, two 10,000-ton cruise ships must not be built at the same time!
So, all kinds of compromise solutions will not work, and one of them must be chosen.
So, how to choose?
This is really a headache!
"Report." At this moment, someone hurriedly walked in: "The construction plan of our 10,000-ton large drive was suddenly published in the Western mainstream media."
"What?" At this time, everyone who was eating put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looked at the adjutant in surprise.
“Here, let me see.” Wu Shengli took the newspaper over.
Eastern is about to produce a 17,000-ton super cruiser!
The title is very eye-catching, and there is a design drawing on the right side of the title. This design drawing is almost exactly the same as that of Bincheng Shipyard!
Wu Shengli's face darkened immediately. After he glanced at it briefly, he handed the newspaper to Sun Xuewen: "Old Sun, take a look."
Sun Xuewen took it over and his face became even more ugly.
The secret is leaked!
Before they came here to bid, someone leaked their designs to the West!
The compilation, proofreading, and printing of newspaper content take time. Others only saw the design drawings of Bincheng Shipyard at today's meeting. Neither the Navy nor the Mingzhou Group had the possibility of obtaining the design drawings in advance. .
So, this was definitely not leaked at this meeting, but Bincheng Shipyard had already leaked the secret before participating in the bidding.
In this way, the leaker must be inside their Bincheng Shipyard.
Under such circumstances, can the Navy still hand over this important project to Bincheng Shipyard?
Sun Xuewen is a smart man, and he thought of this quickly. His throat trembled twice, and there was bitterness on his face: "Leader Wu, our internal management is not strict, and this kind of accident happened, we will withdraw from this bidding! "
"Immediately notify the relevant departments to investigate this matter thoroughly. We must find out who leaked the secret!" Leader Wu said: "Even if this person escapes abroad, he must be captured!"
Such a serious leak has occurred, and we must take a heavy blow to ensure that the person who leaked the secret will not end well!
"Dear leaders, even if the design drawings are leaked, the contents may not be leaked. I think there is no need for Bincheng Shipyard to withdraw." Qin Tao said, "Foreigners will know if they know that. What's wrong with them?"
Sun Xuewen glanced at Qin Tao gratefully: "Mr. Qin, thank you for your kindness. However, we don't know the extent of the leak, and we can no longer participate in such an important national defense project. We are self-aware. In the future, we will also..."
“Let’s wait for the results of the investigation to come out.” Wu Shengli said, “The bidding is suspended.”
The lunch, which was already very depressing, became even more depressing now. The remaining people left one after another without having a good meal.
Yang Dawei didn’t eat much either. What’s this called? Even though they are afraid of losing the order to Bincheng Shipyard, they will feel a little embarrassed if they win the bid in this way. After all, this method is not upright, and it may even be possible. There will be rumors that their Mingzhou Group secretly arranged all this.
"Gong Yang, we have finished the report. We are waiting for the superior leaders to make a decision. You go back first and conduct a safety investigation after you go back. Don't let the same thing happen to us, whether it is personnel or our equipment. All have to do a good job.”
The network of the Mingzhou Group Design Office is not connected to the outside world. It is an internal LAN, and all information is stored on a central server. Whoever accesses it and how many times it is accessed will be recorded. Each computer below is connected. There is no USB port, so it is not easy to take secrets out.
However, if someone is determined to do this, they will still think of various ways, even if they use a pinhole camera to shoot at the computer screen, they may take away confidential information.
Mingzhou Group’s employees are treated very well, but it is impossible to give everyone huge sums of money. Under the temptation of huge benefits, will someone take risks?
“Well, Mr. Qin, don’t worry, if there is a problem with one of my men, I will personally search the whole world to kill him!” Yang Dawei’s tone was calm, but there was determination in his words.
You can go abroad and live the life you want based on your own abilities. Everyone must have the right to choose. However, if you rely on betraying the interests of your own motherland and trampling on your own motherland to gain power, such a person is not worthy of living in this world!
"Maybe it's not that bad. Don't worry too much. Our navy still trusts your Mingzhou Group." Leader Wang happened to pass by the two people and heard their conversation and said.
“Not so bad?”
"Bincheng Shipyard attaches great importance to this project and has selected high-quality personnel. After all, their shipyard is our old shipyard and they are very strict in their thinking. Normally, there will be no such problem." Leader Wang said arrive.
"Leader Wang, you should talk to Mr. Sun about this." "Mr. Sun? His posture is like picking up a machine gun and putting those who have access to the information in front of them and asking them to surrender. If they don't surrender, they will be punished." It's like everything is going crazy." Leader Wang said: "However, no matter who is responsible for this matter, it is enough to make them angry. By the way, the Navy will not bid for the next aircraft carrier."
“No more bidding for aircraft carriers?”
Qin Tao opened his eyes wide.
"In terms of destroyers, we can also invite bids for selection. As for aircraft carriers, isn't this obvious? Only your Mingzhou Group has this experience, and only you have this capability. If I don't leave it to you, who else can you leave it to? You can leave the 003 aircraft carrier to Let’s optimize the design drawing and wait for it to be brought over for review.”
As for aircraft carriers, there is really no need to bid. Mingzhou Group is the only one that can undertake this task.
Mingzhou Group has the only aircraft carrier design office in the country. This design office only designs aircraft carriers and has also designed many ships. It has rich experience. Mingzhou Group’s slipway is also the only one in the country that builds aircraft carriers, and it also builds two or three ships at the same time.
Mingzhou Group also has a special nuclear reactor assembly base on Dali Mountain. Mingzhou Group’s steel plant builds the only deck steel for aircraft carriers in the country.
Other than Mingzhou Group, who else can build an aircraft carrier? Even foreign customers have given orders to Mingzhou Group. Can their own navy be built by other shipyards? Can they rest assured?
"However, our navy will still invite bids for other ships, and we also hope that more shipyards will bid. If your family is the only one, others will gossip."
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay."
The leak was investigated very quickly, and everything was found out that night.
When receiving the survey results, everyone was speechless.
"Xing Fuqiang is the technical backbone of our factory. He joined the factory at the age of 18 and has been working there until now. He is diligent and conscientious. In order to bid for this 10,000-ton drive, in order to build it as soon as possible after the bidding ends, some of our design drawings were also distributed to Let them prepare in advance." Sun Xuewen looked uncomfortable: "I really didn't expect that Lao Xing would be so stupid and be phished on the Internet by foreign intelligence organizations!"
"After our investigators came over, Xing Fuqiang immediately said that when he learned that his mistake had caused the leak, Lao Xing knelt on the ground and slapped himself on the spot." Wu Shengli said: "No one thought that foreign intelligence organizations It would be so shameless. However, the leak is still a leak. Next, you can deal with it how you want. Your factory must learn from this lesson and carry out stricter ideological education to prevent similar situations from happening again."
咣!
At this moment, the door outside was pushed open: "Dad, are you looking for me?"
Qin Tao has the right to come in without knocking. He is usually a frequent visitor here, but today, after opening the door, he was still a little surprised to see this situation, and he hurriedly closed the door.
“Come in, Tao Zi, you must also pay attention to the rules in the future.” Wu Shengli said: “Learn the lesson from Lao Sun and the others.”
“What lesson?”
“Last night, Xing Fuqiang, a technician at their factory, accidentally leaked secrets on the Internet after returning home from get off work.”
"Our factory is also responsible. The management is not strict. Xing Fuqiang can actually take such confidential technical information home." Sun Xuewen said: "I made a serious mistake and am willing to take the blame and resign."
Sun Xuewen still blames himself.
"Old Sun, our navy is not your superior. We have no power to punish you. How you are dealt with is for the leadership of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation to consider." Wu Shengli said, "Taozi is here too, so we just have a chat. The next warship project.”
“Dad, is it appropriate for you to hold a small meeting for us in private?”
"Both of you are bidders. What's inappropriate for us to sit down and have a meeting together?" Wu Shengli said: "Due to serious technical leaks at Bincheng Shipyard, it is unlikely that our navy will use Bincheng Shipyard. design plan, but our Navy is very eager for anti-missile, so can these two projects be integrated?"
Summarize it?
Qin Tao glanced at his father-in-law: "Dad, you can't have your cake and eat it too, and the navy shouldn't be too greedy."
“That’s someone else. What can’t be done with your Mingzhou Group?”
Qin Tao smiled bitterly: "Dad, you really trust us. If you can't do it, you can't do it."
"Mr. Qin, on your 10,000-ton large drive, as long as you poke one of our remote antennas above the hangar, wouldn't it be similar to our design? We are willing to hand over that part of the design to you and let you Our technologies are integrated." Sun Xuewen said.
"That kind of radar puts forward very high requirements on power supply. Moreover, if only a single radar is useless, we need to integrate this radar into our combat system. This is not a small task. Maybe we will have to If we make major changes, we will have to delay the construction time.”
“Our navy can wait.” Wu Shengli said.
“If our displacement remains unchanged, our launch unit will still be 112. If we need to load some specialized anti-satellite interceptors, it will inevitably reduce the number of HQ-9s carried.”
"It doesn't matter. Isn't it a command ship you are building? Target data can be assigned to other warships. Therefore, tasks that require interception by Red Flag Nine can be handed over to other 052s in the formation." Wu Shengli said.
Qin Tao said something, and Wu Shengli solved it.
“Then we originally planned to deploy a meter-wave radar antenna array on the ship island.”
“Have we not succeeded in research and development yet? It is difficult to integrate too many radars. It is better to poke a special meter-wave radar antenna in the back, separated from the bridge in front by a certain distance, and it is easy to be electromagnetic compatible.”
"Well, since the Navy is so determined, we will modify it according to the Navy's suggestions. This radar is too big. If there is a big storm at sea, this radar will be like a sail. Don't blame us if it capsizes the warship."
The radar is too big, with a width of 25 meters, which is wider than the hull of a 10,000-ton cruise ship, and a height of 20 meters. After being poked up, it will probably be as high as the main mast. Such a big thing is definitely a big sail.
“This kind of radar can be retracted and retracted. It can be stood up when in use and put back when not in use. It can be folded just above the hangar.”
“Dad, you know so much, why don’t you design it?”
"If I can design, what do I need you for?" Wu Shengli rolled his eyes at him: "I am the leader, and I am only responsible for issuing orders. How to complete the task is your business. I am not Zhuge Liang."
“Alas, laymen lead experts.”
There has never been such a warship in the world. Is it ridiculous to have such a big radar antenna stuck behind its butt?
“That’s right, we are laymen leading experts. Why, you are not convinced?” Wu Shengli proudly said, “Let me tell you, I have reservations!”
Qin Tao was speechless. He thought again: "The radar antenna is too big. If we change it horizontally and vertically, with a width of 20 meters and a height of 25 meters, it will be easier for us to install it."
"That's no problem." Sun Xuewen said: "This is how the land-based radar is arranged. We only adjusted the length and width to adapt to our own 10,000-ton drive. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can change the length and width at any time. Change it back."
"This radar array must be light and hollow, and it must be able to perform its mission under normal wind and waves, otherwise it will have no practical significance." Qin Tao continued to conceive: "It won't work if it is flipped forward. There must be other accessories on the hangar. , or flip it backwards, in high sea conditions, just flip it to the back, put it on the helicopter landing platform, and use it as a roof."
“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t complain about the leader’s arrangements. Only a qualified subordinate should complete the leader’s arrangements.” Wu Shengli nodded.
“Dad, have the anti-missile Red Flag 19 missiles been developed? Isn’t it a little too early for us to think about this now?”
