Jill lowered his head and thought about it very seriously, and had to admit that Zhang Lan's words were very reasonable, if the Amur Komsomolsk shipyard or Bath Steel Company really had intentions, as long as their conditions were not too excessive, the domestic government that watched the food would definitely be eager to agree to this matter. Of course, if people are really willing to come, the problem is that people don't even look at this side now, even if they want to give them a look in China, it is equivalent to a beautiful woman flattering a blind man. "We must start this project this time, or the next time, the development plan you made before will be limited," Jill frowned again after chuckling. The little face still looked worried, "But they just don't open this mouth, they just don't agree, so what can we do?" You can't just grab their hands and get them to sign the contract, right? ”

Sweat! Is that okay too? It is estimated that after signing this morning, we can pack up and run away in the afternoon.

"It's not going to work. Can we go the other way? You can take the middle route" Zhang Lan looked unfathomable, and gently nodded at this girl's little head, looking like a teacher. In fact, this method was still thought of by this guy in the past few days, "Since they don't agree with us building military ships, then we won't build them." But when necessary, we can manufacture civilian ships according to the manufacturing standards of military ships, and when necessary, we can also manufacture special ships according to actual needs. ”

To have this "ability to produce large military ships" is not that Zhang Lan wants to engage in this thing, because in the next development process of the group, if you want not to be stuck in transportation, you must take this road. As for whether it is really a production of military ships, Zhang Lan has not yet reached this. Extent.

"Huh?" Jill's eyes lit up instantly, and he clapped his hands excitedly, "yes, this." Question: Why didn't I think of it? As long as the ships we produce by then have no weapons on them, then no one can say anything about us, right? ”

Just like the nine frigates that Zhang Lan tossed back from Lao Maozi back then, now the weapons and equipment on them have been removed, and there is no problem at all in saying that they are civilian ships.

But these nine frigates, although they dismantled the offensive weapons on them, became "civilian ships." "But who would dare to underestimate their combat capabilities? As long as it is not the regular naval fleet of a country. Ordinary pirates or a single warship come over, who is afraid of them? Let's take their turn first. This is called "with the benefits of producing large military ships".

"Then agree to their terms?" Jill was excited.

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's good to light more lights now" Zhang Lan shook her head with a smile. "Anyway, don't give up these benefits in vain, that's what happens if you want them." Then whose name is this shipyard placed in?" Jill nodded, "According to what was previously discussed, put it in "Fu." Is it in the name of the group? ”

"Well, let's arrange it like this. If it is placed under the umbrella of our Alice Group, I am worried that the major consortia in the United States will unite to find some trouble for us, although we are not afraid of trouble, but this trouble is always not good, even if it is placed under the group of my parents, who still does not know the relationship between our two groups? I don't believe anyone would dare to have any bad ideas in this regard. "Zhang Lan gave Jill's girl a bad trick.

"That's it, that's it, and I'll give me the rest." Jill nodded excitedly, "I don't believe I can't do such a simple thing." ”

Is it simple? Zhang Lan couldn't help but sweat: Private shipbuilding enterprises produce ships with military-grade standards, not to mention that the cost is much higher all of a sudden, just say this kind of thankless thing, who wants to do it? But Zhang Lan has his own plans, such ships, will be produced for his own use, the rest will be produced in accordance with the standards of civilian ships, if the country is greedy for its own technology and manufacturing capabilities, it is not impossible to sell them some of them when the time comes, it is still very early, but this does not prevent Zhang Lan from making plans in advance, and when the matter comes to the front, it will be a little too late.

Ji Erxing, who received Zhang Lan's latest instructions, threw himself into a new round of negotiations: he had the intention of not giving up until he made a lot of benefits this time.

"Zhang Lan, we don't have outsiders now. Can you tell me why you are so keen to launch this shipbuilding project? Zhu Mingliang, then vice premier of the State Council in charge of economic work and former director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, called Zhang Lan and asked Zhang Lan about the fundamental reason why the Alice Group did this time with the good relationship between the two families for so many years. ”

Zhu Mingming's words have been said explicit enough, the leaders don't understand what is going on, they don't dare to approve this project, if they don't understand this, they will make a mistake of principle, such a big minefield, who dares to touch it easily?

According to Jill, this is a super project with a single investment scale that has exceeded 100 million yuan, and you can imagine that after the completion of the entire project, the scale of this shipyard will be huge. Although this project can make the local government drool wildly no matter where it is placed, this issue is too sensitive, and before there is a clear attitude above, not to mention the various governments, even the bigwigs of the central government, do not dare to speak casually.

"Uncle Zhu" Zhang Lan smiled bitterly, since this guy has already talked about this, if he doesn't reveal a little bit of tone, it seems a little unreasonable, "This decision has something to do with the future development route of our group." I'll just tell you, I didn't say anything when anyone asked. ”

"Huh? You don't want to be an arms dealer, do you? Zhu Mingliang was taken aback by Zhang Lan's answer: What do you mean? How does this shipyard project relate to the future development of your group? Isn't this too mysterious?

"How so?" Zhang Lan was also taken aback by this guy's words, "Uncle Zhu." What is our domestic policy on arms production, I don't think there are a few people who don't know, don't dig a pit for us to jump in? ”,

"I'll dig a pit for you to jump?" Zhu Mingming's words amused me. "I said, boy, this project is not good for you from Bazhen Mountain, right? It was you who said that you want to build a shipyard with the ability to produce large military ships, what does it matter to me what I said? .

"We said that we would build a shipyard with the ability to produce large military ships, but we didn't say that we wanted to produce munitions" Zhang Lan didn't fall for this guy, "Uncle Zhu, didn't I say, if you look at all the shipyards in the world that are on a large scale, which one doesn't have the ability to produce military ships?" It is one thing to have this ability, but it is another thing to produce or not, and the state does not approve it. Who would dare to start work casually in this land? ”

This is the big truth, in foreign countries, the economy is privately owned, as long as you have the ability to produce military ships, you can get it with the approval of the state, and when the country needs to equip a certain type of military ships, you can be generous to bid; In China, all Daxing shipbuilding enterprises are basically state-owned enterprises, since they are state-owned enterprises. Naturally, this question is not a problem. Those small private shipbuilding enterprises are still fighting for a few orders all day long. The idea of competing for orders from the military for the production of military ships is not even a thought of it! If you want to be harmonized, then really do it.

Things have come to this point, it was originally very good, everyone does not interfere with the river water, and they have their own way to go, but at this time, the freak of Alice Group came out to stir up the situation, shouting that he wanted to break this rule that everyone had already recognized. Fortunately, the confidentiality of the negotiations between the Alice Group and the state has been done quite well, and the news has not been spread, if the news is spread, the state will be passive, and it is a big problem to agree or not:

Agree? It is difficult to explain many aspects in the country, what do you think, to allow a Sino-foreign joint venture, well, or a joint venture with private capital, just such a company, you want to allow them to produce military ships? At this time, they don't care about the words "have the ability to produce large military ships" written on the contract, and insist that they want to produce military ships.

Disagree? Those foreign countries that have always been unpleasant to the rise of China began to humble: look, what about reform and opening up all day long, look at the Alice Group to invest such a large amount of money, they actually disagree! Their reform and opening up, I think it's just that.

Now the country is in a dilemma. But after hearing Zhang Lan's words, Zhu Mingliang couldn't help but want to scold himself for being a pig: gone, it's one thing to have this production capacity, but it's another thing to produce or not, as long as there is no order, who is idle to produce warships and play? Even Bath Steel, Ingalls Shipyard, Todd Pacific Shipyard and even Newport News Shipbuilding, which produces Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, will not be idle to produce a warship for fun without state approval, right?

What is the obstacle? Here it is. Everyone only discussed whether to give this shipyard the qualification to produce today, but they forgot that even if your shipyard has the qualification to produce even aircraft carriers, as long as the state does not allow you to produce it. If you don't place an order, then you will only have to stare dryly, and you will not be able to produce even a piece of the plank of a military ship. As for civilian ships, hey, even if you produce a concave 10,000-ton tanker, the state welcomes it.

After understanding the truth of this, Zhu Mingliang was completely relieved in his heart, and in addition to breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Mingliang couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, "What if a company pops up in the future and shouts to establish a shipyard with the production of large military ships?" ”

"This is too simple, depending on their investment scale and technical strength, as long as their investment scale and technical strength cannot be reached. Naturally, you have reasons not to approve it. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if their financial strength has reached a small technical strength, it has also reached it, just like for us, how about giving them this qualification? Giving them this qualification does not mean that they have an order for production, small. Zhang Lan couldn't help laughing, "Even if they can receive orders from abroad, but for the production of arms, don't foreign governments need to put forward their intentions to you first?" Wouldn't you just arrange for it to be produced in your own shipyard? ”

Damn, why didn't I think of such a simple thing earlier? Zhu Mingliang is in the mood to slap his mouth now, but thinking that the old men above actually didn't think of this problem like himself, this guy's heart is much more balanced. They are not to blame for this, politics is supposed to complicate simple problems, and complex problems are simplified when necessary.

The current situation is that what was originally a very simple matter has been complicated by themselves. "Do you really have the production capacity and technical strength to do so? Although I am not an expert, I still know a little bit, the power system and electronic system of large military ships have always been the weak link of our country, this, you have never been in contact with things, can you still handle it? Zhu Mingliang was obviously still very skeptical of the strength of Alice Group in shipbuilding, "Or which shipyard are you planning to acquire?" ”

"Ability and strength are slowly accumulated, aren't they? Haven't we ever been in contact with aircraft manufacturing before, but now we're doing just as well. There are no plans to acquire any famous shipyards yet." When asked about this question, Zhang Lan couldn't help but laugh, "Even if we want to buy, for the sake of our own country's employment rate, do you think the government of that country will allow us to move the shipyard out?" ”

Zhu Mingliang was dumbfounded: Isn't that what happened? If there is a very large shipyard in your own country, it is impossible for you to allow them to move out of your country casually after being bought by others, and this relocation will make many workers in related industries in the entire upstream and downstream industries unemployed, and no country will do such a thing.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If the country really can't approve this project, we can put this project abroad, the total investment amount of the whole project will not be less than 100 million, if we release this news, I believe that those small countries in Southeast Asia will definitely grab the head for this order, right? In the end, Zhang Lan reminded Zhu Mingliang very "kindly" that it was best to make a decision as soon as possible.
