Chapter 979: The war is not over yet
readx; "Since November last year, the sales of all divisions of our group have begun to decline gradually, including the performance of the Petroleum Division, the Electronics Division, and the Special Metals Division, which have declined by 30%. Other divisions www.biquge.info more or less declined, among which the aviation division, although the sales of jet engines increased significantly, but the sales of its piston engines fell by more than 40% compared with last year! Qin Huayun, the director of the strategic headquarters of Fule Electric, said in a serious tone.
"Since China and the United States jointly announced the Sino-US Joint Convention a few days ago, stimulated by the news, the stock prices of the major subsidiaries of our group have not only continued to fall, but the stock price of the group's head office has fallen by 6% in just a few days. The board of directors has held several meetings in this regard, and asked us and other management to come up with a proper way to deal with it! ”
And at this time, Yan Aoyun just spoke: "We need war!"
In the past few years, our performance has increased substantially, and the most direct driving factor is the outbreak of the world war, and the large-scale expansion of the military has led to the continuous doubling of the group's performance. Although we can also get through this difficulty by expanding the private market, it is clear that we do not have enough time to adjust, and many of the subordinate sub-offices are currently producing military materials, and it is difficult to adjust all of them to civilian products in a short period of time, and for some of the various technologies started for military equipment to be transformed into civilian products, and to control the price of these products to the point that the general public can accept, the major laboratories still need to continue to work hard, during this blank period, if we have no way to find a sufficient market, I am afraid that a considerable number of subsidiaries will go out of business as a result. And to solve this problem, I feel like nothing is more useful than another war! ”
When Yan Aoyun said this, he didn't consider the so-called national and national interests at all, he didn't care what the interests or harms of China and other countries were in the war now, and he didn't care who the political axe wanted to go to war with, but Yan Aoyun only knew that the current Fule Electric needed a war, even if it was a small war!
If the war made Fuller Electric a behemoth, then the end of the war also caused almost unbearable pain to Fuller Electric.
Before 1937, although Fule Electric was still one of the main defense contractors in China, the main business of Fule Electric was not actually a national defense contracting business, the main business of Fule Electric was the production and research and development of electrical and mechanical equipment, which did not refer to household appliances and the like, but to very high-tech electrical equipment, such as generator sets, cables, motors and other industrial equipment and high-tech industrial parts, such as screws made of special alloys, At that time, almost the entire construction of China's power grid was used in the equipment produced by Fule Electric, and as for the home appliance industry, it was only a subsidiary industry of Fule Electric's electrical industry.
In addition, Föhr Electric also produces other large-scale equipment, such as oil production and refining equipment, some of the core components in the automotive industry.
To put it simply, before 1937, Fule Electric existed as an upstream enterprise in China's industrial system, mainly developing and producing large-scale equipment and core components, and there were relatively few finished products directly promoted to the civilian market. At that time, although Fule Electric also had orders from the military, military orders were not the main business of Fule Electric at that time.
After all, before the outbreak of World War II, the military spending of various countries began to be relatively normal, everyone was only a few hundred million dollars, and there was no country to purchase equipment in large quantities in peacetime, but after the outbreak of the war, since 1939, regardless of whether the country participated in the war or not, they began to expand the armament war, and military spending soared from hundreds of millions of dollars to tens of billions of dollars, and orders from the military were piled up on the table of Fule Electric.
It is from that time that Fule Electric began to adjust the production chain, and gradually increased the production of military materials, it can be said that the military's orders made Fule Electric really take off, and the market value has increased more than ten times, but in recent years, a large number of new factories and various advanced military technologies that have spent huge sums of money on research and development have lost the military's orders, then Fule Electric will cause huge losses, in this case, either China continues to expand the arms war to maintain military purchase orders, or Fule Electric accelerates the transformation, Returning to the pre-war situation, the civilian market was the mainstay, supplemented by the military market.
However, the problem that Föhler Electric is facing now is that they will not be able to complete the transformation in a short period of time!
Such a behemoth, driven forward by the war for so many years, has long become a huge arsenal, and it is impossible to say that it will stop and then turn around and embark on another path!
"We need time, at least a year or more to complete the transition! If there is an immediate stop, many of the group's factories will close, not only our direct enterprises, but also the enterprises with which we have many cooperative relations will face a major crisis, and it may even be possible that more than 100,000 workers will lose their jobs! The head of the Strategy Headquarters once again said: "I'm afraid that some of you here will also be dismissed by the board of directors!" ”
Yan Aoyun said: "There are difficulties, but it is not unsolvable, the group itself must do a good job of accelerating the transformation, even if we persuade the military to increase orders to maintain production, but this situation will not last too long, we must complete the transformation within a year, the future of the group's business focus will be on the domestic private market and expand the foreign market!" Let the major laboratories increase the civilianization process of military technology, and strive to come up with a variety of products with core competitiveness within a year! ”
The difficulties of Fule Electric are not accidental, and they also occur in many other domestic enterprises, but they are not affected as much as Fule Electric, after all, although China's military market is large, but the domestic market is larger, not every enterprise is closely dependent on military orders like Fule Electric's business pillars.
On the contrary, many companies are still living a very prosperous life, saying that they have benefited a lot from the development of the Southeast Asian market.
To a certain extent, the problem of Fule Electric is not a widespread economic problem in China, but their own problem, the fundamental reason is that in the past few years in order to meet the expansion of military orders is too fast, and just a few years after the expansion, the military is beginning to reduce orders, which has caused Fule Electric to suffer a lot of blows.
As for other companies, although they are also widely involved in the production of military materials, except for those single defense contractors, the focus of other enterprises is still on the civilian market.
Yan Aoyun continued: "In addition, I will go to the Liuhe Fund in Nanjing tomorrow! ”
At this moment, in this huge conference room, the huge and gorgeous crystal chandelier above everyone's heads still exudes luxurious light, but everyone's faces are not very good-looking.
The next time, Yan Aoyun once again took the high-speed train to Nanjing, and went to Nanjing to meet the Chen brothers of Liuhe Fund, after all, Liuhe Fund is the largest shareholder of Fule Electric, Yan Aoyun needs to meet them to report the latest situation of Fule Electric, talk about difficulties, in order to obtain the support of Liuhe Fund. Subsequently, Yan Aoyun met with many military and political dignitaries, mainly to know the next strategic direction of the political axe, so as to adjust the development direction of the group according to the direction of the political axe.
In the past few days, he has met many military and political dignitaries, and even met Chen Huatian, who is considered to be the heir of Chen Jingyun, and he has learned more or less from the mouths of these people that the pace of China's military expansion will not stop in a short time, and he learned for the first time that the military will reorganize more than three million local garrison troops into regular troops, and he also knows that the air force has planned to fully enter the jet age, and what does this mean, This means that although the military is unlikely to maintain a large amount of military investment in the next year or two as it has in previous years, it will still maintain a considerable amount of military spending.
This is expected to mean that the military will also purchase new equipment in large quantities, although Föhler Electric rarely supplies finished products to the military except for limited communication facilities and military trucks, but when these military orders reach other defense contractors, then these defense contractors will purchase parts from Föhler Electric. And for Fule Electric, it means that the military has placed a large number of orders in its own hands.
Yan Aoyun breathed a sigh of relief from this situation, and he was also worried that after the signing of the Sino-US Joint Convention, there would be complete world peace and the military would begin to disarm, and now according to the current momentum of the military, it is obvious that not only does it not plan to disarm, but also continues to strengthen its military strength.
For today's China, disarmament is impossible, and it is already rare to continue to expand the size of the army, even if it is said that "Ben surrenders, even if Germany is defeated, but for China, the war is far from over, and the dispute between China and the United States cannot really end until the side completely falls!"
At the end of 1944, the Chinese Army had retired more than 2 million soldiers on active duty, and in the 1945 military budget it was only 40 billion Chinese dollars, a direct reduction of more than 60 percent compared with the military spending of up to 100 billion Chinese dollars in 1944. And these things are also widely reported, but ordinary people can easily ignore the tune, although the army has retired more than two million soldiers in the past few months, but there are also millions of new recruits into the barracks, in fact, this is just a normal military replacement and retirement.
