Chapter 055: Requirements
Jiang Feng paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "My requirements have three points. First, the establishment of the company, must have a certain scale, not a small fight, so to speak, you can take a few steps to develop, and gradually make the company bigger. However, the military's initial investment must not be less than 100 million. Second, I can relinquish a controlling stake in the company, but the management of the company must be chosen by me, and the state and the military must not interfere in the day-to-day management of the company. However, the State and the military have oversight powers to regulate the day-to-day operations of companies as well as business transactions. If the state and the military violate and interfere with the day-to-day management of the company, I will withdraw from the company. Third, the state and the military must provide good conditions and development space for the company, and must not let the company be unnecessarily criticized. ”
Jiang Feng's idea is very simple, if it is a step-by-step development company from scratch, then it can develop gradually. However, now that the military has discovered the company's secrets and they want to participate, there is no such need. The state's increased investment will inevitably accelerate the company's development process.
Moreover, Jiang Feng believes that as long as the state can provide sufficient financial and talent support, coupled with the technology he provides, it will definitely be able to make the soon-to-be-established company develop by leaps and bounds. Because, this process is just to thoroughly understand the technology he took out, and then produce it.
As for the controlling stake in the company, after learning that the army was going to join in, Jiang Feng never had the luxury of owning a controlling stake in the company. In such a situation, the military will definitely not agree. So Jiang Feng is also very simple, I don't want a controlling stake, just the management of the company. This company is his brainchild and must be developed under his control.
If the day-to-day management of the company were carried out by people from the state and the military, God knows what the company would be like by those bureaucrats. The experience of the two lives has allowed Jiang Feng to see the decline of too many state-owned enterprises. With the full support of the state, they still look like they are going to die, and the ability and discipline of the bureaucrats and management of those state-owned enterprises can be imagined. Jiang Feng didn't want his hard work to become a source of fattening those moths.
As for the external conditions that require the state to ensure the development of the company, some lions have opened their mouths. Jiang Feng knows that in China, even if you are a military enterprise, you will inevitably be constrained by all aspects. In this country, it is not uncommon for forces not to sell their military faces. Jiang Feng didn't want the company to develop and be targeted by these transcendent forces and become Tang monk meat in their eyes. Therefore, he asked the military to ensure that at all times, the company is transcendent and does not allow other forces to interfere in it.
After listening to Jiang Feng's request, Gong Jiechang was obviously silent for a while.
Although he is not a professional, he also knows that Jiang Feng's three conditions are a little difficult to handle. Relatively speaking, the first two are better, but the third condition is really excessive.
"Xiao Jiang, I will convey these requests to the military." Gong Jiechang said to Jiang Feng, "By the way, do you have any other requirements?" If so, let me know. ”
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Grandpa Gong, I don't have any other requirements. As long as the military can meet these three conditions, it is enough. ”
In his previous life, Jiang Feng had always been a so-called angry young man in everyone's mouth, and when he saw the beautiful Huaxia, he was unexpectedly flaunted by some of the clowns around him at the door of his house, but he didn't even dare to say a tough word, and he was always very indignant in his heart. The reason for this, not to mention the deep-seated ones, is that the most superficial reason for being raptured is that our weapons are not advanced enough and our military strength is not strong, so we can't stiffen our waists.
In this life, Jiang Feng didn't want such a situation to happen again. Since it is said that the weapons are not advanced, then I will do my best to provide a sharp spear and shield for the country, and I will see if the situation can change at that time.
Jiang Feng did not doubt that Gong Jiechang would be able to convey his conditions to the military leadership. Although he didn't know much about Gong Jiechang's specific situation, a person who was a senior colonel and division commander when the republic first conferred the military rank was absolutely undoubtedly promoted to major general when he retired, and it was normal for him to be a lieutenant general, even if he was now the highest rank of general in the army.
Moreover, his son Gong Xinglong is now also the commander of the Shicheng Military Division, and according to Jiang Feng's understanding, the Shicheng Military Division is the next level of the provincial military district, and the minimum military rank of the garrison commander should also be colonel, and in general, it should be a major general. Moreover, Gong Xinglong's age should not be very old, and it is estimated that he is about the same as Jiang Feng's parents, in his forties and fifties. At this age, it is very difficult to be ranked as a major general, even a colonel, without a little background.
And Gong Xinglong's background should come from his father Gong Jiechang. Maybe he found a good wife through marriage, but if Gong Jiechang didn't have a certain status, it would be impossible. The status of the two parties to the marriage must not be too different, since ancient times, marriage is not to pay attention to a family, right?
It is naturally a piece of cake to ask a general with great achievements in war to convey a few small conditions to the military.
Moreover, the military asked Gong Jiechang to contact him, which also showed full sincerity. Because, Gong Jiechang's own military rank is there, at least a major general, most likely a lieutenant general, and even the possibility of a general is not ruled out. Moreover, Gong Jiechang is still an eighty-year-old man, which is the key.
Jiang Feng also knew that the reason why the military attached so much importance to him was stimulated by an incident that happened a few months ago.
On 1 April this year, a US Navy EP-3 reconnaissance plane carried out a reconnaissance mission over the waters near China's Hainan Island, and the Chinese naval air force sent two Jian-8II fighters to monitor and intercept them, and one of the wingmen collided with US military planes over China's exclusive economic zone, 70 nautical miles (110 kilometers) southeast of China's Hainan Island.
The military plane of their own country was crashed and destroyed in front of their own home, and finally let the other party get their plane back, even if it was dismantled and transported away by a third party, it was equivalent to being slapped severely, and it was slapped in front of everyone, which is not a happy thing.
In particular, after the incident, the United States not only did not apologize or compensate for the incident, but US President Bush also openly stated that the United States would resume military reconnaissance flights in the airspace near China's coastal areas.
Moreover, after the US ** aircraft was taken away, the military also suffered humiliating compensation from the US military. Just three months ago, on 10 August, the US Government announced that it planned to give the Chinese Government $34,000 as a "reasonable payment" for the services provided by the Chinese side to the US crew members who made an emergency landing on China's Hainan Island after the collision between the US spy plane and the Chinese fighter plane.
This kind of action is like a rich man saying to a beggar, "Come, I'll give you a dollar, go buy a bun." This is undoubtedly another resounding slap in the face to the Chinese government.
Although the media of all parties have hyped up the resolution of this incident as an excellent case of demonstrating the wisdom of national diplomacy, everyone who understands it knows that it is just a fig leaf left for themselves.
After this incident, it caused a great shock to the military, and even the country's leadership was holding back the fire. In Jiang Feng's memory, in the past few months, several members of the Politburo Standing Committee have visited some important military industrial units in China, and after that, the state's investment in national defense has also greatly increased, and the treatment of military personnel and military industrial units has been actively improved.
This series of initiatives has shown a lot.
Therefore, although Jiang Feng knew that the third condition he put forward was a bit excessive, Jiang Feng believed that after the military top brass knew that he would be able to develop a special high-power and high-efficiency engine for airplanes and ships within 10 years, he would definitely agree.
After the matter was agreed, Jiang Feng and the others embarked on the road home.
Gong Jiechang looked at the young man walking not far in front of him, and his thoughts were surging, and what happened a few days ago appeared in his mind again.
Originally, the military did not entrust him to negotiate with Jiang Feng, but after he learned about this matter, he volunteered to come.
He couldn't forget the meeting the two had at Riverside Park.
Although the time of that meeting was very short, he was still very keen to discover Jiang Feng's extraordinary. Now I learned that this young man had mastered such advanced technology, although military experts suspected that Jiang Feng had a connection with a mysterious organization, and the technology was obtained through that organization. However, even so, if Jiang Feng was an ordinary teenager, all this would not have happened.
Now, he was glad that he had come, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble. Because the truth of the matter is too different from the first thought.
Gong Jiechang thought of his granddaughter again, that little guy was also a genius, before he met Jiang Feng, he had always been proud of his granddaughter who was so smart. It's just that now he finds that his granddaughter is much worse than the little guy in front of him.
"By the way, Xiao Ran's girl and this kid seem to be classmates, the agreement between me and the old buddy back then, because of that special year, was not fulfilled in the end, it is better to let this next generation fulfill this promise. This little guy has an unlimited future, but Xiao Ran is a rare match, and he can't miss it. It's just that, listening to Xiao Ran's girl's tone, she doesn't seem to deal with this kid, which is a bit troublesome. Gong Jiechang muttered as he walked.
