Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh poor money(1/2)
Korolev is worthy of being a Soviet man. When he met Hu Wenhai early in the morning, he actually pulled him to the canteen of the guesthouse. ⊙,
It is said that I drank well yesterday, and I must recall it today. Hu Wenhai really couldn't refuse his brother-in-law, so he had to let him drag himself to the table.
After two more cups of Maotai were eaten, Korolev slapped the cup on the table with a snap, reached out to wipe his mouth, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"This wine is really good, just a little worse than our vodka!"
Hu Wenhai smiled, and the small sip of a glass of one or two in front of him was missing only one layer. It was the sip of wine he had at the beginning. No matter how Korolev persuaded him to drink, he would no longer speak.
Korolev advised him a few times, but when he saw that Hu Wenhai was really unable to drink, he had to drink it helplessly.
Fortunately, Moutai and pure alcohol vodka are not the same flavor, so Korolev, who had the first time drinking sauce-flavored wine, was not bored, and he was enjoying it.
Hu Wenhai himself doesn't drink much, and beer is fine, but white wine is generally not very drunk. However, when he saw Korolev like it, he said happily: "If Korolev, if you like it, bring more when you leave."
"Then I'm not polite." Korolev was originally making this idea and immediately smiled.
He squeaked, snuffed his glass again, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this wine is not as strong as our vodka, and it may not be popular in the Soviet Union. There are many varieties of Chinese wines. I said, brother, do you know which one is cheaper and more powerful?"
Hu Wenhai thought about it, let alone, he really had a little impression of this requirement.
The natural environment in the Northeast is similar to that in the Soviet Union. People here used to like strong alcohol when drinking. Especially before entering Guandong, they were a bitter and cold place in remote areas, and they could not produce good things to make wine.
However, there is no shortage of coarse grains in the Northeast, including sorghum, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas, barnyard grains, and even feed for large animals. During the Qing Dynasty, people took it out to make wine.
After the liberation, the Northeast winemaking industry developed even more. Even in the small counties below, there are often several small wineries such as sorghum and sweet potatoes. In the future, the Embroidery City has discovered the longest-time liquor in the world. The history in this area is considered to be a long history.
To put it bluntly, the Russian vodka is just alcohol mixed with water, which is cheap. Hu Wenhai bought some cheap liquor from county and town wineries, and it was not difficult to make up tens of thousands of tons in Xiucheng.
Of course, this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the wine consumed by the Russians every year. However, if such a business is left to one person, it will be like creating a millionaire in minutes.
Hu Wenhai simply nodded: "In this way, when you leave, I will prepare a cart of wine for you. Let's calculate it based on five tons. I will prepare a piece of liquor for you that can be found on the market, right?"
"Okay. You're still good enough, brother!" Korolev smiled.
It seemed like I felt embarrassed to take Hu Wenhai’s wine for free. Korolev thought for a while, then looked around, and then whispered: "My brother-in-law and I, to be honest, it is not impossible to ask Yulia and Natalia to come to China. But it is not suitable now. If the cooperation between the Soviet Union and China can be increased, it will be helpful to change the overall environment. Moreover, although Yulia and his daughter cannot defeat China, they may not be able to defeat the third country..."
"Oh?" Hu Wenhai was shocked when he heard this and understood it: "Korolev. Just tell me, which country is convenient?"
"Well, Romania is good. China and Romania have a good relationship, right?"
“Romania…”
Hu Wenhai's face was shady and sunny. This country is indeed so famous.
Romania, a country named "Roman's country", was actually founded by the Dacians, but it was just conquered by the Romans.
Of course, this is a historical problem, and it has all passed. But when it comes to Romania, the memory in a remote corner in Hu Wenhai's mind was quietly activated.
The Deborg ship.
The COSCO ship built by Romania continued to break down during its delivery process during its return to China, and eventually overturned in the Indian Ocean. There were 31 Chinese sailors on the ship. In the end, only two people survived.
The words in Hu Wenhai's memory are just such a string of cold numbers and words. However, imagine that in the turbulent Indian Ocean, a ship suddenly lost its power and was overturned by the surging waves. Finally, the sunken vortex swallowed most of the people on the ship, and only five people on a life raft survived.
And nine days later, before the life raft was discovered by a Japanese steamer, three of the five had been thirsty.
Whether it is the helplessness of facing the surging oceans and shipwrecks, or the horror of a man when he dies of thirst, he hides behind this short line of words. It is cold and terrifying.
This is the Deborah built by the Romanians. On its maiden voyage, it killed itself and 29 Chinese sailors.
As for the future, Romania became even more famous. After Su Dongpo, he executed the Ceausescu family. After joining the EU, this country became famous all over the world for its "European prostitute."
Romania, the former oil-producing country, was able to produce cars, gasoline, ships, aircraft and computers. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the only industries in this country that could be famous internationally, namely the only industries in the Black Reef Gemini and the heavy-tasting ones in the German military camps...
Hu Wenhai quickly shook his head, cut off some memories of Romania, and suppressed the discomfort that arose in his heart.
For Hu Wenhai, there is nothing in this country that makes him have a good impression of him.
But at least in the 1980s, China and Romania still have some feelings for a brotherly socialist country. Romanians have not had a good life, but they are not bad. In the world, they are always a second-rate country, and they can still live a small life with the Soviet Union.
Moreover, Romania has a difficult life, but the situation of the privileged class is different. The Ceausescu family's butt is not right, so the people below naturally follow suit.
The people at the bottom are not good, but the privileged class who stands on the side of the Ceausescu family is quite comfortable. With the support of kgb, I think Yulia and Natalia can't suffer any losses in Romania.
No, it may even be said that life will be better than in Ukraine.
After all, Ukraine is still part of the Soviet Union. It has not fallen to the level of a funny country in later generations, so it always has to be ruled. But Romania is an Eastern European North Korea, a typical Ceausescu family. As long as it has a relationship with the Romanian upper class, no one dares to say a word.
Hu Wenhai thought a little unkindly that since Ceausescu's dogs can be of the rank of colonel, if they can join the family, it would be a good channel to the Soviet Union.
"Jovovich's family is also related to Romania?" Hu Wenhai asked curiously.
Korolev smiled mysteriously. He ignored this and just drank a glass of wine in his hand in one sip.
Seeing this, Hu Wenhai stopped asking more questions and made a judgment in his heart.
...
Secretary Chi left Secretary Lu's office with documents about igct, and Secretary Lu knocked on the door of his leader's office.
After closing the door, no one knew what Secretary Lu said. But after receiving the information, Secretary Chi immediately came to the Navy's own Power Components Research Institute and took out the specific appraisal opinions on IGCT's results in less than a week.
The Navy's power experts were shocked to the point of falling off their chins in the face of the powerful performance of IGCT. They couldn't believe that this was a scientific and technological achievement developed in China.
Experts even bluntly stated that such a technical level can at least be ahead of the current international advanced level by five to ten years. However, the principle and implementation of igct are almost just a layer of window paper. Once it is made public, it will not be difficult for other countries to develop igct technology in a short period of time.
Of course, this "other country" that is not difficult is just a referring specifically to the United States, Japan, Britain, France and Germany.
Hu Wenhai lived in the imperial capital for a week. Finally, the navy was put on the table on the table in the trade with the Soviet Union.
It is said that Hu Wenhai didn't know much about the Sino-Soviet trade situation. When there was a tense relationship between China and the Soviet Union, the two sides did not interrupt diplomatic relations from beginning to end. The trade between China and the Soviet Union has always had some exchanges. By 1985, the trade volume between China and the Soviet Union reached 4.5 billion Swiss francs. It cannot be said that the two sides have no trade relations.
However, it should also be noted that the pricing here is Swiss francs, and of course it is impossible for China and the Soviet Union to trade in Swiss currency. The fact is that before 1988, most of the transactions in Sino-Soviet trade were bookkeeping transactions and barter. The total annual transaction amount was stipulated in accordance with the economic and trade agreement. Then the two sides planned to import each other's products, and finally achieve a trade balance.
By 1985, China's trade with the Soviet Union accounted for 3% of China's foreign trade volume. The total trade with the Soviet Union accounted for only 1% of the Soviet Union. This was undoubtedly very abnormal for countries of the size of China and the Soviet Union. But even such achievements were hard-won before the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.
The development of economic and trade must first be restricted by political factors. It is difficult to imagine that when the relationship between the two countries is not normalized, economic and trade will develop rapidly. As long as China-Soviet relations do not make breakthroughs and expanding economic exchanges between the two countries will inevitably result in half the result with twice the effort.
It should be said that China has expectations for the growth of Soviet trade and has done some work in the early stage. This can be seen from the Northern Xinjiang Railway, which started construction in 1985. If it were not for this, the Northern Xinjiang Railway would be built to the Alasan Pass, which would be impossible to explain.
But the reality is that the process of normalizing Sino-Soviet relations is still too slow. It is almost impossible to achieve foreign trade transactions between China and the Soviet Union, which are like China and the United States.
In this regard, the economy can only make way for politics. Without normalization of Sino-Soviet relations, trade can only adopt accounting and planning methods. This method of trade growth cannot meet the actual needs at all.
For example, if the Navy wanted to export down jackets to the Soviet Union this time, the normal procedure was to wait for the Sino-Soviet trade negotiations in 1986, and put the transaction on the catalogue during the negotiations at the beginning of the year. The Soviet side agreed to import down jackets and slapped them in China to find out the export products needed by the Navy to make a list of exports. The Navy selected the down jackets that wanted to import from the Soviet Union, and the transaction negotiations were over.
Then, I pray that the Soviet Union's men could complete trade production on time and deliver goods on time. As for the ocean fishery resources and materials, they may never appear in the product catalog provided by the Soviet Union.
This kind of trade method between China and the Soviet Union can be said to be extremely inefficient and rigid. Both sides clearly have a large demand for transactions, but China-Soviet relations cannot be normalized for a day, free foreign trade cannot be realized, and the possibility of expanding the scale of transactions does not exist. Because of this kind of bookkeeping and barter negotiation and transaction, due to the manpower and efficiency of both sides, there is always a limit.
In other words, if the Navy wants to trade with the Soviet Union, it really has to continue to "take the private" path.
Directly trading with kgb. The political risks here are really not small. Expanding the scale of trade and limiting transactions not only to the level of replacing information, but also tests the determination above.
However, if we can make such progress, it is really inseparable from Hu Wenhai.
IGCT is really powerful in promoting the comprehensive all-electric propulsion technology of warships. Hu Wenhai, who has mastered such technology, is naturally not just a "make money" to describe it.
Hu Wenhai now really looks like an "Edison". Not only is his business talent full, but his important technical talent has also been revealed.
In the initial Viagra, China never understood where Hu Wenhai got the technology, and no matter how you look at drug development, it is not a project that can be completed by one person. Then there are traces of drones. Although the ideas are very clever, all the applicable technologies are all mature. In terms of water lithium batteries, Hu Wenhai's pioneering scientific research talent has been demonstrated, but the application range of water lithium batteries in China is narrow, and the feeling is not as profound as Motorola.
It was not until the birth of IGCT that the Navy carefully tested the performance of IGCT, which made the upper-level leaders realize that Hu Wenhai's ability is not just used to make money.
Of course, the breakthrough of ICT led to a breakthrough in the comprehensive electric warship technology, which in turn had an impact on the construction plan of the country's next-generation missile destroyer. Mr. Hu's voice was unknowingly improved.
In this way, his plan for the next generation of regional air defense ships was also taken out and studied carefully.
C3i system shipped, command automation, sea phoenix, and igct all-electric propulsion.
After research, based on these technologies, coupled with the introduction of the French Sea Rattlesnake point defense missile, tavitac combat system and Tsr 3002 Sea Tiger radar, the ability of such a system can even be much higher than that of the British Type 42 destroyer after integration.
In some aspects, the new ship will be more advanced than Arleigh Burke and has certain regional air defense capabilities, while the gap is mainly reflected in phased array radar.
The work of the Type 052 destroyer that had just begun was urgently stopped. The original design of the Type 052 destroyer was overturned, and the Navy began to investigate the possibility of regional air defense on 052.
At the same time, the Navy also put forward new requirements for the design of 052, such as foreign trade.
The Navy's previous Type 052 was mainly considered for its own use. However, with the killer weapon of integrated all-electric propulsion, the Navy was not willing to be lonely.
Although selling ship hulls is also a good business based on comprehensive all-electric propulsion alone. However, with comprehensive all-electric as the selling point, the profit of selling the whole ship directly is not much larger than the hull? Moreover, the Navy does not have much benefit by selling the hull alone. After all, the Shipbuilding Corporation can build takeaways by itself, and at most it is equipped with IGCT full-electric propulsion.
Only by taking out a complete set of takeout can the Navy lose benefits.
Small countries and poor countries cannot use regional air defense, so they require that 052 must have a modular design and can modularly transform the functions of warships. Regional air defense is cancelled, domestic cheap radars are replaced, and combat system command automation can be modularly increased and decreased...
In this way, more, higher and stricter requirements were put forward for the design of the Type 052 destroyer.
Similarly, these requirements also mean a problem of money.
Without money, these beautiful plans are water moon in the mirror. Without capital, you can only watch the future without making a lot of money. How to go about the future? Suddenly, it was placed on the Navy's table.
After a week of research and discussion, Secretary Chi finally heard from him.
No matter how good the environment of the Navy's guesthouse is, it is not his own home, so Hu Wenhai has been tired of living. Fortunately, Korolev can always talk about some interesting trivial matters in life of Yulia and Natalia, which makes him feel that time is not that difficult.
When Secretary Chi informed that the negotiations could be restarted, he looked even more excited than Korolev.
"Secretary Chi!"
Hu Wenhai simply left Korolev, pulled Secretary Chi closer to his room, and asked excitedly: "The country really plans to adopt my plan and build an empty ship in the area?"
"Well, there is a possibility." Secretary Chi hesitated for a moment, but said in detail: "The country had a plan to build a Type 052 destroyer. The original plan was to start designing in 1984 and complete the design in 1989, put into use in 1994, and have no regional air defense capabilities. After your news reports, the design work of Type 052 destroyer has been suspended."
