One or two years ago, when the planned economy was dominant, not to mention the air force spending 16 million yuan, there were 1.6 million people competing to stop this job.
Because no matter what losses or gains are made by the state, it doesn't matter how the project is carried out. In any case, the state will get the bottom of the matter in the end, which is the big pot and iron rice bowl.
However, in the 1990s, with the further deepening of reform and the gradual establishment of a market economy system, the former state funding has turned into bank loans; the former all-round financing has turned into self financing of enterprises.
Although the big pot and iron rice bowl have not been completely smashed, the cracks on them are expanding day by day. It can be predicted that they will be completely broken soon.
In such a big environment, the air force's 16 million is really 16 million. The insufficient part is either filled by the enterprise itself or loaned from the bank. If it makes money, it's OK. The problem is that this project will obviously go to grandma's house.
Among other things, if you look at the price of the early warning aircraft in other countries in the world, you can see that the cheapest one costs 100 million US dollars. Of course, domestic production will be cheaper, but the combined costs of all kinds will be more than 50 million.
16 million yuan is just a drop in the bucket.
The air force is also very helpless. Since the end of the 1980s, the second modernization of the air force has been vigorous. It is the introduction of Su-27 fighters, the equipment of Il-76 transport aircraft, and the landing of Su-27 assembly line.
But it's the air force that spends a lot of money behind this. Otherwise, the Russians will give you these advanced equipment just to make a little money.
Because of this, in order to realize the second modernization in recent years, the air force has also struggled to sell iron by smashing the pot and tightening its belts. At one time, due to lack of funds, it even proposed to the Russians that part of the Su-27's payment for goods be settled by barter trade compensation.
For this reason, in the early 1990s, the fur price of Chinese garden dogs in the Central Plains soared. The reason was that the Russians needed dog skins to make winter clothes. The air force immediately took action and used domestic dog skins to offset a considerable amount of Su-27 loans.
In a sense, domestic dogs such as Chinese garden dogs have made considerable contributions to the second modernization of the air force.
However, it also reflects the air force's financial embarrassment from another aspect. Therefore, knowing that the 16 million yuan fund is not enough, the air force has no way, because they can take out these by tightening their belts.
If the air force is really in trouble, it's not that the major aviation manufacturers can't lend a hand. No matter how hard they are, as long as they can make the air force stronger, they will lose a little.
The problem is that the air force's funds are small, and they are very picky. According to reason, the yun-8 and H-6 of Northwest Airlines are the most suitable carrier platforms for niipn007s-800 electronic scanning phased array radar.
If you can save costs, you can use the two mobile phones of these two models to refit them. Anyway, to solve the problem, you should first make things and consider other things.
The Northwest Airlines factory thought well, and also worked out all the plans and submitted them to the air force headquarters.
Results after field investigation and detailed evaluation of the scheme by the air force headquarters, the reply to Northwest Airlines was that the performance of the platform did not meet the requirements of the air force.
The main reason is that the internal comfort and supporting facilities of yun-8 and hong-6 are too poor, which is not conducive to the long-term and continuous operational requirements of operators.
There is no way that the air force's index of its radar warning aircraft is much higher than that of the Navy's. The practical ceiling should be more than 12000 meters, and the endurance time should be at least six hours. The internal comfort must reach the level of ordinary civil aviation aircraft, and must be equipped with toilets, kitchens, rest rooms and other necessary living facilities, so that the operating officers and soldiers can fight continuously for a long time.
Looking at the indicators put forward by the air force, the leaders and engineers of northwest aviation factory are not crazy. Does the air force want radar warning aircraft or flying palaces?
To be comfortable, to the toilet and kitchen, but also a rest room, how no longer want a TV, sofa and wife directly moved to live on it!
As a result, the demand for such a high index is 16 million yuan, so why not grab it.
At that time, the Northwest Airlines factory was just like the bridegroom who was ready for the betrothal gifts and was ready to run to marry the girl. As a result, when she arrived at the girl's home and was ready to pick up the car, the girl opened her mouth and said that the conditions were not enough and that the betrothal gifts should be added. Otherwise, she would get on the car dead or alive, and that kind of mood was just terrible.
Northwest Airlines feels aggrieved, but the air force is also dissatisfied. To solve the problem, we need to lower the standard and lower the operational indicators?
What's the use of a two-hour ride? This country covers an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, plus more than 3 million square kilometers of coastal areas. For such a large area, not to mention the minimum target of six hours, it is too small to multiply by two or three.
Therefore, the air force's view of Northwest Airlines is like a scum man who doesn't admit his debt after playing with his pants. There is no room for compromise at all.
Under such circumstances, even if the two sides want to cooperate again, it is very difficult to meet each other. There is no way, and the differences are too big.However, just when the industry thought that the air force's radar warning aircraft project was doomed to die, Zhuang Jianye, who was attending the conference in Beijing, suddenly revealed to the industry media that Tengfei group intended to undertake the air force's radar warning aircraft project.
At that time, people in the industry who heard the news thought that Zhuang Jianye's routine was eye-catching. There was no way to do it. We all understood the routine of Zhuang Jianye for so many years. In order to maintain the popularity of Tengfei group and increase the market share of its products, Zhuang Jianye would say a few words in public every three or five times and shoot a gun.
Brush the sense of existence to let the market know that their take-off group is still very powerful. Just pay for it quickly, or there will be no shop after passing the village.
So people in the industry who saw these reports all sniffed at Zhuang Jianye's way of doing business. They felt that the goods were getting hot again. Can Zhuang Jianye do business at a loss? I don't believe it.
As a result, when the industry took Zhuang Jianye's statement as unimportant information and laughed it off, a statement from the air force headquarters immediately exploded in the industry.
The air force has signed a contract with Tengfei group for the development and production of two radar warning aircraft, with a total value of 16 million yuan.
Now the people in the industry are not calm at all. Zhuang Jianye really dares to do business at a loss. With 16 million yuan, Tengfei group has taken care of all the research and production matters. How big a heart is it to play like this and not be afraid to lose all the underpants at that time?
No wonder people in the industry are so surprised that the air force signed a package contract with Tengfei group this time, that is, the air force paid 16 million yuan for the purchase, and other research, production, testing and delivery were all undertaken by Tengfei group.
From which point of view, Tengfei group has made a big loss. You should know that when Northwest Airlines took the order, the quotation in the development stage alone reached 16 million yuan, which is the loss price given by Northwest Airlines in view of the difficulties of the air force. As for the later production, testing and delivery, it has to be calculated separately.
As a result, Tengfei group only uses this price to do everything. If there is no blood loss, many people in the industry dare to tear their heads off and kick the ball.
In this case, another question will follow. Zhuang Jianye, who is as slippery as a ghost in the industry, has never made a loss. But now he is under the pressure of blood loss to build a radar warning plane for the air force. What's his plan?
