Volume 20: Looking at the World with Cold Eyes, Chapter 20: Work Needs
Touched by Lu Weimin's words, Guo Zheng's eyes towards Lu Weimin also changed somewhat. Previously, he was still proud of the growth of his nephews and nephews, but now he realized that although the other party was the same deputy as himself.
Although he was already a ministerial-level official, he was even more powerful than himself in a sense, but deep in his heart he was filled with passion for the motherland, and he was still eager for the country's prosperity. This made Guo Zheng very sad.
I'm touched. At least at this level, few officials have such an innocent heart.
"For the people, you also know that our country's basic technology reserves have indeed reached the top level in the world in some aspects. However, in many basic technologies, we are still far behind the world's first-class level. The Cultural Revolution delayed that
In the past twenty years, our generation has basically stagnated and confused its thinking. After the reform and opening up, we have to find a path that suits us again, which has delayed a lot of time. During this period, there were many problems in the transportation project.
Disagreement, the research was stopped for so long, and the losses were huge. If we had not absorbed some targeted technologies for reserve in the early stage, and also accepted your suggestions and increased technical exchanges with Ukraine, we might not be in the current research process.
It’s still much slower.” Guo Zheng lamented, “Whether it is a large passenger aircraft or a large strategic transport aircraft, these are things that a powerful country must master. These are not things that can be bought with money.
Even if the conditions are worse and the level is lower, we must have the most basic technical reserves and we must be able to produce. This is a must."
Guo Zheng's words made Lu Weimin nod his head repeatedly. This is the overall view. As the main planner of the aviation industry of a large country, you must have such far-reaching thinking and cannot relax the pursuit of the ultimate goal due to changes in time and place.
The goals of a big country like China must be in line with those of big countries like the United States and Russia. It may take ten or even decades of unswerving and unremitting efforts to achieve the goal. A big country needs such determination/endurance and perseverance.
"Uncle Guo, now that domestic economic conditions are improving and technical reserves are becoming increasingly complete, we may need continued investment to catch up with foreign standards. But I think we can afford it and should continue to support it, but we also
We can broaden our horizons and strengthen cooperation with other countries. We can also share costs and share technology through technical cooperation. For example, cooperation with Pakistan's Xiaolong is an example. In this regard, I think we can definitely cooperate with some allies or partners.
Allies cooperate and share, including some Middle Eastern and African countries, which can not only solve market demand problems, share research and development costs, but also help strengthen bilateral relations through military cooperation."
Lu Weimin knew that his words might have gone too far or inappropriate. This was not a topic for him or even Guo Zheng to comment on. Maybe Guo Zheng could have the right to comment on certain occasions. But he did not. However,
He still wanted to say something. Give the other party a reminder. What if it could create a storm stirred up by butterfly wings like what Guo Zheng said before? That would be an unexpected surprise.
Sure enough, Guo Zheng's brows frowned. He glanced at Lu Weimin and said, "Weimin, do you mean to cooperate with our more advanced domestic military aircraft technology with countries including Pakistan like Xiaolong? I'm afraid the central government will not
Agree, these technologies are very sensitive, and we are still in the exploratory and digestion stage domestically. There will also be risks in rashly communicating and cooperating with the outside world."
"Uncle Guo, actually you and I both know that, as you said, we only have relatively advanced technologies in some areas, but overall, we may need to integrate them into one. Compared with countries such as Europe, the United States, and Russia, we are still lagging behind.
Why should we keep such a technology to ourselves? If we can share R&D funds, improve efficiency and benefit ratio, and can extensively verify these technologies through practical use, why not? Of course, there are risks in technology outflow, but if you choose the right one,
Cooperation partners, and we must continue to further increase research and breakthrough efforts, so that we can be invincible, I think this is feasible."
Lu Weimin still did not give up. He knew that Guo Zheng, as the chairman of China Airlines Group, was still very influential in the domestic aviation industry. If his views changed, it would have some impact on the senior management. Even if there was such a glimmer of hope, he would not
Be willing to give up.
Of course, Guo Zheng is not so easy to persuade. Besides, this involves higher-level decision-making. It can even be said to rise to the adjustment of national foreign policy. It is not that simple. He, Guo Zheng, has no power to influence this.
, of course, you have to say that when soliciting opinions, you can appropriately talk about your opinions in this regard to see if they can be accepted by a higher level. This is fine.
"For the people, this situation is very complicated. You and I can't just talk about it here. The central government will definitely consider it all. These issues involve the interests of all parties, and the enemy, our friends, and we must think clearly.
"Guo Zheng shook his head slowly.
"That's right, Uncle Guo, but I think we can at least give it a try. For our absolute allies, we might as well provide greater support and support. Some things, as enemies or opponents, will not be affected by your concessions and
If you tolerate it, they will be kinder to you, because from the perspective of national interests, of course they will consider their own interests and will not care too much about our feelings. This is my understanding." Lu Weimin also shook his head and insisted on himself.
point of view.
Guo Zheng was also a little surprised by Lu Weimin's firm attitude, but he also understood that this was because everyone looked at the problem from different perspectives. It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong, and the current policy may not always continue. As the situation around the world and China changes,
As changes occur, some policies will also be adjusted accordingly, and everything needs to be adjusted according to China's interests and needs.
"We can only talk about this matter here and think about it." Guo Zheng pondered for a moment, "I can understand your mood and thoughts. A product that cannot enter the market depends entirely on national investment, regardless of whether it is strategic or not.
It is very difficult for military products to enter the military industry market and be accepted by buyers. This is recyclable."
Lu Weimin nodded in agreement with Guo Zheng's opinion. This was what he wanted to express.
China has always been somewhat conservative in this regard, but looking at the United States, even fighters such as the F-35 can still be exported. There are even rumors that even the F-22, currently the most powerful weapon in the United States, may be exported to Japan, like the Russian
The same is true for the Su-30 series. Even if it is a castrated version, the mainstream technology has been retained after all. Going forward, the American F-15 and F-16 were also mainstream advanced fighters at the time, and they were also sold all over the world. As long as
If it is an ally they recognize, it can be sold. Even at the time, it was considered a very advanced weapon. On the one hand, this kind of export can recover more funds, and more importantly, on the other hand, it can be used in different environments in various regions.
, which can provide extremely valuable test data for further improvement and research and development of aircraft, which is very important for the perfection and improvement of a product.

The conversation between Guo Zheng and Lu Weimin continued until they entered the main urban area of Changzhou.
Of course, Lu Weimin couldn't let Guo Zheng take him to where he wanted to go. Now his parents live in Xianghe, which is still some distance from the city. However, the roads are very good and the transportation is very convenient. You can just hail a taxi and go there.
So he just found a nearby place and got off the car.
Lu Weimin also specifically asked for Guo Zheng's phone number, hoping to have the opportunity to visit Guo Zheng in the future. He had an intuition that maybe his work would really be intertwined with Guo Zheng's in the future.
When they returned to their parents' house in Xianghe, they were surprised, happy and a little worried about Lu Weimin's unexpected return. It was rare for his son to come back without any warning. He usually only came back once a year, but now he was coming back.
It's May, which can be said to be the busiest time at work. How could you go home quietly to rest?
Lu Weimin also saw some clues from the expressions of his parents. The old man always complained when he came back less often. Now that he came back to rest, the old man was worried again. This is really a dilemma.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. If something really happened to me, how could you let me go home so refreshed? I'm afraid I've lost my freedom a long time ago, right? My second sister hasn't given you vaccinations long ago.
?" Lu Weimin comforted his parents, "I'm just adjusting my work. I'm just going to have two days of free time and come back to rest and recuperate. Otherwise, if I really adjust my work and change to a new environment, I'm afraid I won't have any free time again."
Seeing that his son was very calm and calm, the old couple felt a little relieved. Lu Zongguang was still a little uneasy: "Third son, it's only been two years since you went to Blue Island, right? Why do you have to adjust again so quickly? You didn't do well, or is it true?
What’s the job requirement?”
Lu Weimin was also a little amused. His father still had the same old view. As long as it was a normal work adjustment, there must be no other reason than work needs.
