The Iran-Iraq war in the Middle East is over, and it is basically impossible to get huge orders as before.

Because of the 404's style of action and operation mode, the technical personnel will not be like other units, from management to technical personnel, are working hard to ask for projects from their superiors.

If you have more money, you will naturally not be short of money.

"I used to oppose the construction of aircraft carriers and the 10,000-ton drive, just because this thing is too expensive! Not to mention anything else, even this time the core aircraft has been delayed until now because of insufficient funds...... Xie Kai did not want to get angry.

But at this time, it's no joke.

The situation of 404 is very good, but if it continues like this, the capital chain will be broken at that time, how to do it?

"That's right, we still have more than 10 billion funds in our hands, I just want to ask, is it that after our technology research and development investment, the developed technology can be realized into funds? Not to mention whether the investment funds can quickly complete the technology research and development thing. Xie Kai didn't give anyone else a chance to speak at all.

Everyone bowed their heads and did not speak.

What Xie Kai said is not unreasonable, having money now does not mean that there will always be so much money in the future.

The scientific research projects in the hands of 404 have now begun to burn a lot of funds.

Especially after putting aside the funds needed for this core machine, there is even less money that can be mobilized.

Whether it is aviation business or naval equipment, it is not something that can be done with a little money. If the army's equipment is to continue to be improved, it must invest more money in the field of basic research.

"The investment in the military industry is originally a large investment and a long return on investment period, and under normal circumstances, it can only be supported by national investment. Not to mention our domestic military industrial units, even Western countries, just relying on one enterprise, no project can be supported without government procurement!" Xie Kai said louder.

Anyone else couldn't refute Xie Kai's words.

Without Xie Kai, 404 is now estimated to be completely bankrupt.

When Xie Kai first came up, the entire 404 salary had to be paid for a few months before everyone in the entire base could be paid once.

Now there is no such problem, there is no shortage of R&D funds, and there is no inflation of management personnel, which is unreasonable.

"Before I came back, I mentioned to Director Zheng that I should apply for state funding for the anti-stable image fire control fire control system. Director Zheng can testify to this! For no other reason, our funds will not be able to sustain it for a few years. Xie Kai paused and continued.

Others can't refute it, but Xie Jianguo has to come forward, his son is too young, so he will stand on the opposite side of the entire base management.

"Isn't this too sensational? Hasn't the Y-10 already started to have orders now? The problem of funds is not that serious, is it?" Xie Jianguo retorted to his son.

That's what everyone thinks.

No one would think that 404 would be short of money.

Even Yang Qian, who has always valued money and only likes to enter and dislike out, also felt incredible, "Xie Kai, according to our budget, in the next ten years, there will not be too much problem with research funding." ”

"Minister Yang, I would like to ask, how is this budget made? Have you considered that the R&D funds we have invested cannot be recovered?"

"How can it not be recycled? At present, our equipment is not selling well? The Thai military still has more than a billion US dollars, and Argentina, Pakistan and other countries are potential customers...... Zheng Yucheng felt that Xie Kai's statement did not make any sense at all, "It's okay to take a long-term view, and we can't think too negatively." ”

"Negative? Now that the Iran-Iraq war is over, unless war breaks out, which country will purchase all kinds of weapons and equipment on a large scale?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng rhetorically.

He's going crazy.

Silly Damu can't afford to buy weapons anymore.

The last batch of weapons and equipment, although said to be in large quantities, but a large part of it was paid for with oil.

So far, Iraq still owes the Soviet Union tens of billions of dollars in equipment, so until now, it has not bought advanced MiG-29 and other fighters from the Soviets.

There are many other equipment, and the Soviets are currently short of money, but they do not welcome the Iraqi order, requiring them to settle the money they owe before they can continue.

Moreover, there is only one Iraq in the world.

Unseen, in the Iran-Iraq war, the Persians suffered equally heavy losses and did not frantically replenish their weapons and equipment as in Iraq.

Lack of money, only one aspect.

On the other hand, it is not like Iraq's stupid big wood, who wants to be the third in the world.

"It is not an accident that we sold so many weapons and equipment during the Iran-Iraq war. First, the vast majority of all the equipment of the entire Iraqi army came from the Soviet Union, and our industrial base was built with the help of the Soviets; second, the Iraqis owed a huge amount of arms money to the Soviet Union before, and it was very difficult for them to obtain new equipment if they did not pay it back, and their relations with the Western countries have always been not harmonious; third, Iraq is rich in oil, and with the bad relations between the Persians and the Western countries, the Western countries are again trying to win over Iraq; and fourth, our products are cheap and of high quality, and the productivity is not bad, and they just meet Iraq's needs……”

It's too hard to get a customer like Iraq.

After the fall of Iraq, there will be only one such customer in the whole world, and there will be no country except for the Indian third brother next door.

Chinese equipment is sold on a large scale to the third brother of India?

It's a complete joke.

The Chinese are willing to sell, and the Indians will not buy it.

They have always regarded China as an object of transcendence, and more importantly, they feel that China's weapons and equipment are backward, and the country's poverty is even inferior to theirs. Although this is contradictory.

Everyone knows why Iraq seeks China to purchase weapons and equipment.

It's not that they like Chinese weapons and equipment.

Originally, the 359 tanks were transported to Iraq, and the young officer team selected by Tekrit has always preferred the T-72 and looked down on the 359, until it had actual combat results......

"In the future, our largest customers of military products will no longer come from abroad, but our own army. Everyone should know that too advanced weapons and equipment technology is related to national defense security, and the state will ban exports. Before we exported 359 tanks, avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, especially the Flying Shield-359, the attitude of the superiors, everyone knows ......"

Technology embargo.

The reason why this thing is not allowed is an embargo imposed on China by advanced countries, and China also has embargo regulations.

There is no other reason for this, and it involves national defense and security.

"The further we go, the more advanced the weapons and equipment we develop, and even if the higher authorities do not give orders, everyone, is it appropriate for us to continue to export? How many families are well known abroad, and this state of affairs is the reason why everyone is actively working hard to develop military technology? Let foreign countries know the top level of our equipment?" Xie Kai asked a bit too much.

There is no one who is not a national defense science and technology worker who is not here to contribute to national defense construction.

Xie Jianguo was the first to object, "Xie Kai, why do you say that? Who of you is not for national defense? Otherwise, who cares if you don't engage in military technology?"

"Yes, Xiao Xie, you've already said that. Wang Guilin saw that everyone was glaring at Xie Kai angrily, and knew that he had caused public outrage.

This is not the effect he and Zheng Yucheng wanted.

"I'm not doubting everyone's consciousness, when 404 was going bankrupt, everyone here was actively trying to find a way, and no one proposed to leave. Xie Kai said calmly, "Everyone understands that the more advanced it is, the more difficult it is to export." The military needs to be patient, and how long will it take for the funds invested to be recovered? Not to mention anything else, the Y-10 aircraft is the most obvious example. Now that the Y-10 has orders and has begun large-scale production, can the Y-10 not be put into operation?

Bai Yanjun didn't expect that Xie Kai would ask himself directly.

Everyone's eyes turned to him again.

There are quite a few orders for the Y-10, and the Civil Aviation Administration has placed orders.

Do you want to continue to invest?

"No, I can't. The research and development of new models of the Y-10, as well as the transformation into military transport aircraft, early warning aircraft, and air tankers, all require continuous investment...... The profit of the Y-10 order cannot even be guaranteed for the funds required for continuous remodeling. Even if Bai Yanjun was reluctant to answer, he still had to answer.

The Y-10 has an order, but it cannot support the investment in continuing research.

Xie Kai didn't continue to ask him, but turned to Qi Zhiyuan, "Director Qi, Hudong Shipyard has a lot of orders for warships, can the profits from these orders support our continuous research on the 10,000-ton drive and aircraft carrier?"

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head.

The cost of a 10,000-ton drive is more than one billion, not counting the investment required for research technology.

"10,000-ton drive, can you take it out?" Xie Kai continued to ask.

Qi Zhiyuan shook his head awkwardly.

That's not possible.

"So, one can only count on the Navy. In the next 10 years, will military spending be able to meet the current annual US military spending?" Xie Kai asked again.

This time it's all the people who asked.

Everyone was blushing and shaking their heads.

There is no possibility.

"In the next 30 years, our military spending may reach the current level of the United States. Who can guarantee that our more than 10 billion yuan of funds can last for 30 years?" Xie Kai felt that this was the last time he would talk about this to these people.

Love what's wrong.

What the future of 404 is, he can't guarantee.

But continuing to do this is an absolute dead end.

"But if we engage in civilian products, our research and development progress in military products will be affected...... Zheng Yucheng sighed and said helplessly, "The gap between us and the world is already ......."

"Who said that engaging in civilian products will affect the research and development of military products?" Xie Kai couldn't laugh or cry.

In terms of strategy or something, these bigwigs are all human spirits, playing with their hearts, and ten Xie Kai can't play them.

But on this issue, Xie Kai really can't understand what these people think.
