That night, Yao Yuan and his party took a special Airbus-320 plane from the provincial capital to the capital.
The reason why we chose to set off from the provincial capital was because many people did not have the relevant procedures to enter Hong Kong. The parents, relatives and friends of Yao Yuan and Lin Shuting, Lin Wei's relatives and friends, Lin Xiaohu's sister, etc., there were more than a hundred people.
people.
Unfortunately, I bought an Airbus-320 as a special plane. If it were a small business jet, it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
The Boeing-747 continues to be responsible for disaster relief transportation tasks. This four-engine heavy-duty passenger aircraft has a particularly strong carrying capacity and is very suitable for transporting scarce disaster relief materials.
At this time, Swiss Super Air's fleet is purchasing disaster relief supplies around the world and then transporting them to the disaster areas via Hong Kong, which has greatly alleviated the shortage of disaster relief supplies.
After arriving in the capital, everyone was arranged to stay at the Jianguo Hotel. The rest of the accompanying relatives and friends' itinerary was handled by the Beijing Branch of Nanfang Industrial. Yao Yuan and others went to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to check in.
On the National Day, Yao Yuan participated in the celebrations, and in the afternoon of the same day, Xia Honghua came over.
"There is good news and bad news."
Xia Honghua sat down and said with a smile.
Yao Yuan handed over a cigarette and said, "Let's talk."
Xia Honghua shook his head helplessly and said, "It's all the same news."
After a pause, he said, "Wang Qing is here. The meeting will begin in an hour. Vice President Li will preside over it."
"What about the Haicang base?" Yao Yuan suddenly became more energetic.
Xia Honghua nodded slightly, "Yes, talking about it now, we are only one step away from signing the contract. Wang Qing is here to discuss the last issue, and we will sign the contract after the discussion. The good news is that Deputy Li invites you to participate."
"It is indeed good news." Yao Yuan saw the hope of the petrochemical base.
Xia Honghua said, "You have taken so many actions, including building cross-sea bridges and deep-water docks, which have attracted attention."
Yao Yuan said firmly, "Even if my petrochemical base does not get national approval, I will continue to do it myself. Building the cross-sea bridge is not only for the people's livelihood in the Nangang area, but also to open up the transportation bottleneck between the industrial island on the east coast and the mainland.
Even if I don’t repair it now, Nangang City Government will repair it in the future.”
"Of course it's a good thing. We don't have a cross-sea bridge yet, and your bridge is more interesting than your petrochemical base." Xia Honghua said.
Yao Yuan said helplessly, "The cross-sea bridge is a supporting project of the petrochemical base."
The implication is obvious. Only when there is a petrochemical base can there be a cross-sea bridge. However, in terms of operation, Yao Yuan singled out the cross-sea bridge to apply for project approval. Both the provincial and municipal levels were very supportive. In fact, it was difficult for the ministries and commissions not to approve it, and they did not want it.
You allocate a penny.
Xia Honghua said, "This is your chance."
Being able to face Deputy Li directly is obviously a good opportunity.
Yao Yuan asked, "If Wang Qing proposes to switch 100% of export sales to domestic sales, will you agree?"
"At the beginning, what we focused on was 100% export sales. The country was in short supply of foreign exchange. At the same time, we had to consider the impact on the domestic industry. We were not allowed to allow 100% domestic sales." Xia Honghua shook his head.
Yao Yuan felt relieved and said, "That's good."
Xia Honghua stood up and said, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, someone will come and take you there."
"good."
After Xia Honghua left, Zhong Weiguo came, along with a senior colonel. Since the military rank system was restored in 1988, the construction of the army has gradually got on the right track. However, limited by economic strength, the upgrading of weapons and equipment has still not been significant.
Zhang Xiaotian said, "Mr. Yao, on behalf of the army, I would like to say thank you."
Thanks to the US$2 billion provided by Yao Yuan, the Air Force successfully completed the introduction of Russian-made Su-27 fighters, two years earlier than in history, which undoubtedly bought valuable time for the construction and development of the People's Air Force.
A Gulf War awakened soldiers all over the world, especially Chinese soldiers. Everyone realized that the style of modern warfare has undergone major changes. A question was raised - if it were you, would you be able to deal with the US military?
How should we respond to the attack?
The first thing to bear the brunt is the upgrading of weapons and equipment.
The People's Air Force is still dominated by a large number of J-6 fighters, and the U.S. and Soviet armies were equipped with advanced third-generation fighters on a large scale ten years ago, such as F-16, F-15, F-18, and Su-27
, MiG-29, etc., the US military has even begun the development of fourth-generation stealth fighters.
The J-6 used extensively by our People's Air Force is a first-generation aircraft, and the output of the second-generation J-7 cannot keep up...
Under this background, the introduction of advanced fighter aircraft has become the only way to go, and it is also the only way to rapidly improve the combat effectiveness of the People's Air Force.
Yao Yuan only thought that Zhang Xiaotian was here to discuss loan matters, and without much hesitation, he said simply, "The foreign exchange of all my companies can be lent. It's still the old method. Just ask Xinxing Group to come forward to make the specific delivery."
"Mr. Yao, you misunderstood..." Zhang Xiaoyue looked a little uncomfortable.
Foreign exchange is managed by the foreign exchange management department, and Southern Industrial has the right to use it and has its own independent account.
Yao Yuan said, "Chief, please call me Xiao Yao."
"Okay, you are also a military family, so I won't be pretentious with you." Zhang Xiaoyue glanced at Zhong Weiguo and said straight to the point, "Foreign exchange must be used, but we can't keep borrowing money. Xiao Yao, I don't know if you can
Can’t you promise not to use the foreign exchange in Southern Industrial’s account within three years?”
Yao Yuan thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
Zhang Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Southern Industrial does not use the foreign exchange in its account within three years, the country can use the money for three years instead of continuing to borrow from Southern Industrial. The army's situation is special, and it is always inappropriate to always deal with private enterprises.
of.
"We plan to introduce the Su Liangqi production line, but the Russian side is very resolute and will only sell us complete machines. So we plan to purchase another batch of Su Liangqi, pay in US dollars, and ask them to transfer the production line." Zhang Xiaotian said.
Yao Yuan said, "Yes, being able to produce by yourself is the long-term solution."
Zhang Xiaotian said with emotion, "Yes, Su Liangqi is a good aircraft. When I saw this aircraft, I was shocked... It can be said to be extremely shocking. Such a big fighter jet has only a small amount of internal fuel."
It weighs more than the empty weight of the J-7 and can fly four thousand kilometers in one breath. The maneuverability of such a large fighter can actually be compared to the American F-16."
It can be seen from his expression that they must have been unparalleled in shock when they saw the Su-27 fighter jets when they visited. This is also the reason why the Air Force gave up the cheaper MiG-29 and instead purchased the Su-27
.The People's Air Force is poor, but no matter how poor it is, it still has to dig it out from between its teeth and get a higher starting point.
A big country should have the courage of a big country, and a big country must have the military strength of a big country.
Yao Yuan said casually, "You should also buy some other aircraft, bombers, armed helicopters, large transport aircraft, carrier-based fighter jets, etc. If you have the opportunity now, buy some back. Whether they are used for research or not, we will develop sooner or later."
of."
Zhang Xiaotian nodded in agreement, "I can reveal that we have already been negotiating with Russia on the introduction of Su-33 carrier-based fighter technology, and they have only equipped it for three or four years."
"Yes, now we are introducing localized improvements, and when the aircraft carrier is put into service, the supporting aircraft will be built." Yao Yuanshen agreed.
I originally thought that Zhang Xiaotian was here to talk about this matter, but he didn't expect that he suddenly changed the subject and changed the topic...
