Looking at the scene of rapid retreat outside the car window, Meng Qingguo has mixed feelings. It's not that the army's Air Force Special Forces brigade, which is not optimistic about this year's annual exercise, is shining brilliantly, while the defense side, which has high hopes, is defeated miserably.
But this time he went to the helicopter production and R & D base of Tengfei group in Xiangzhou, which made him a helicopter expert in the army always have a bad taste lingering in his mind.
It can be said that it's guilt, and it can also be summed up in the words of the common people.
In a word, Meng Qingdong didn't want to go to Tengfei group this time.
There is no way. As a core figure with considerable weight in the selection of helicopter models in the military and even in China, Meng Qingguo seems to be fair to domestic helicopter manufacturers in recent years.
In fact, it is intentionally or unintentionally limiting the order quantity of Tengfei group. Instead, it gives more procurement to CIDU helicopter factory and Binjiang helicopter factory.
On the one hand, the helicopter produced by Tengfei group has high price and unstable performance; but more importantly, Meng Qingguo's own Zhi-8 imitation team from the porcelain capital. In addition, most of his students and old friends who were doing scientific research were assigned to Binjiang helicopter factory to participate in the development of zhi-9.
Therefore, as an important expert and technical spokesperson in the field of helicopter, Meng Qingguo is in constant confusion with porcelain capital and Binjiang.
In contrast, Tengfei group's helicopter business is much more distant from Meng Qingguo.
After all, Tengfei group inherited Xiangzhou, the designated production plant of the old zhi-6. In the 1970s, when the zhi-6 project could be maintained, the Xiangzhou plant was OK. When the zhi-6 was dismounted in the 1980s, the focus of domestic helicopter development shifted to the porcelain capital and Binjiang.
Xiangzhou plant naturally declined, so that in the most difficult period, Xiangzhou plant completely stopped the helicopter production line and began to produce gas tanks, pressure tanks and other pressure vessels to make a living.
If it wasn't for Professor Zhao, who has been thinking of returning to zhi-6, who, by chance, urged Tengfei group to merge Xiangzhou factory, so as to make Xiangzhou factory rejuvenate and enter the helicopter field again, Xiangzhou factory might have been reduced to a real pressure vessel factory by this time.
This is also the reason why Meng Qingguo didn't pay attention to Xiangzhou factory at that time. With the support of Tengfei group, Xiangzhou factory began to serialize the helicopters gradually, but it was too late for Meng Qingguo to pay attention.
Because Xiangzhou factory has formed an advanced aviation manufacturing industry group with Professor Zhao as the technical backbone and supported by the abundant financial resources and supporting technology of Tengfei group.
To market, Tengfei group is to kill all the way out of the market, regardless of the background of contacts.
For talents, Professor Zhao is a leader in the field of helicopters in China. In addition, the old man is very good at judging people, and almost all the students who are trained by hand can be independent.
In terms of technology, Tengfei group is not able to provide it completely, but more than 70% of the core equipment, Tengfei group is fully capable of self-sufficiency. After all, in addition to the obvious aviation manufacturing industry, Tengfei group is also the largest domestic aerospace professional equipment supplier secretly, and has no one of them.
For an airline manufacturer that sells nearly 200 regional airliners a year, money really doesn't matter.
With such a list, Meng Qingguo suddenly finds that he seems to have the power to purchase helicopters, but he has no use for Xiangzhou factory, because people can bypass him every minute and talk directly with higher-level people about the development of helicopters.
This let Meng Qingguo to intervene in Xiangzhou factory, don't know which hand to extend, because people don't pay attention to you, that kind of embarrassment don't mention.
Of course, as a senior cadre who can work in the headquarters, Meng Qingguo is not a narrow-minded person. If Xiangzhou factory can become the third helicopter R & D and production base in China, it will promote the overall situation.
The problem is that Xiangzhou factory is in a good situation, but porcelain capital and Binjiang two factories are in trouble one by one.
First of all, the porcelain capital factory. Although the Zhi-8 was imitated, its overall performance was not recognized by the army. It only purchased several pieces symbolically. As a result, the efforts of the porcelain capital factory for many years were in vain.
As a participant in the Zhi-8 imitation project, Meng Qingguo naturally couldn't see his project come to an end like this, so he helped the porcelain capital factory to go around, worked hard to save the improvement plan of the follow-up models of Zhi-8.
As a result, as soon as the porcelain capital was stabilized, Binjiang factory had an accident again. The reason is very simple. The tide of layoffs caused by the reform of state-owned enterprises in the early 1990s had a great impact on Binjiang factory in the old industrial base.
It's not that the Binjiang plant itself has such a situation. After all, with the support of the zhi-9 project, it can still have a bite to eat and not collapse.
But the other supporting factories around Binjiang plant do not have this treatment. The ones that need to be replaced and those that need to be removed have led to a large number of laid-off workers.
Many of these workers are related to the workers in Binjiang factory, even the most intimate relationship between husband and wife.
A good family with two employees suddenly collapsed in half, and the quality of life naturally plummeted. It's just the so-called "poor couple" who mourn for everything. In this case, family conflicts are essential.After several games, the couple took their families across the great wall and came to the south, where the economy is full of vitality, to act as the trendsetters of reform.
Head rigid, although insist, but in the face of bad situation, the mind is not in the work.
Under such circumstances, Binjiang plant naturally has a sharp increase in scrap rate and a serious decline in product quality.
In addition, at the end of the 1980s, the triangle debt accumulated by Binjiang factory following the trend of engaging in various kinds of civilian products also broke out at this time. It was just like detonating a nuclear bomb, which almost made Binjiang factory GG.
So the director of Binjiang factory took Meng Qingguo's students, so he came over and asked him to help keep the Binjiang factory. What can Meng Qingguo do?
We can only continue to help Binjiang plant survive.
Among the three helicopter production bases, two are on the verge of life and death. Xiangzhou factory is living well with the help of Tengfei group. Meng Qingguo, of course, can help those who are in difficulty first, and those who are in good condition first.
So it's not surprising that there is a preference for one policy over the other.
However, his bias seemed feasible before the big event. After all, the higher authorities didn't want a certain industry to be dominant, and the existence of competition was certainly more in line with the optimization of industrial structure, so they turned a blind eye to Meng Qingguo's practice.
But after the big event, the idea of the higher authorities has changed, and this annual exercise is the best embodiment.
Meng Qingdong, of course, is aware of the change in the attitude of his superiors towards the industry. He is also ready to comply with his superiors and completely throw out the two oil bottles he has been supporting. But if he really wants to do so, Meng Qingdong hesitates again. After all, he is an old unit and an old subordinate, so he can pull it.
"Lao Meng, do you think that Xiangzhou factory and porcelain capital factory are better from the perspective of long-term development?"
Just when Meng Qingguo was staring at the window, a leader of the army around him suddenly asked, which interrupted Meng Qingguo's thoughts. Although he had mixed feelings in his heart, Meng Qingguo said without hesitation: "I think the porcelain capital factory is more mature."
