Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

To be honest.

If Lin Kaifeng can really keep the large aircraft project going, it doesn't matter even if Professor Song's life is taken away.

"General Manager Lin, we will discuss the issue of escort later."

"Let's talk about the funding issue first."

Professor Song had a serious expression.

It is certain that Lin Kaifeng is not joking and really wants to promote the continued research of the domestic large aircraft project through corporate assistance.

Professor Song suppressed his inner excitement and talked about several existing problems in reality.

Scientists are different from entrepreneurs in that they are pragmatic in their approach to work.

One is one, two is two.

Northern Machinery Company wants to push the project forward in the form of a company, and will have to invest at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of funds into the project every year.

These are just the routine research funds each year.

It does not include the purchase of various types of research equipment from abroad.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Professor Song, do you think I am afraid of difficulties?"

"When there are problems, we solve them; when there are difficulties, we overcome them. This is the consistent goal of our company."

"We have to invest at least hundreds of millions of dollars in the large aircraft project every year, which is indeed an astronomical figure, but as long as we open up the desert market, I can find a way to get any amount of money."

"The research of the domestic large aircraft project is not only about aircraft, but also the ultimate reflection of whether our industrial strength is strong."

"As far as I know, the international aviation market has always been dominated by the US and Western civil aircraft. Even Soviet civil aircraft have difficulty entering this market."

"Once we develop a truly domestically made large aircraft and put it into commercial operation, it will be a great boon to the present and benefit future generations."

As the main person in charge of the large aircraft project, Professor Song would definitely understand what Lin Kaifeng said.

To understand is to understand.

Can collective joint-stock enterprises really push the large aircraft project forward?

Lin Kaifeng said earnestly: "As I said before, the money problem will be solved by the company. Once the company completes the UAV project, I will immediately invest the personnel and funds into the research of the large aircraft project."

"Professor Song, everything has its good and bad sides. We open our doors to attract foreign investment. In addition to foreign companies and external funds, they also bring in various ideas and trends."

"If we don't do it now, the difficulty of continuing research in the future will be more than ten times greater than it is now."

"Ugh……"

Professor Song sighed.

If it weren't for all the slander, the large aircraft project would not have been shelved so quickly.

There is only one step left to success.

But at the last step, unexpected problems arose.

Immediately, Lin Kaifeng and Professor Song had a long conversation.

He talked about all the roles that could be played by researching domestic large aircraft and promoting domestic aviation research.

In the end, Professor Song was successfully persuaded by Lin Kaifeng.

The next day at noon, Professor Song returned to Beijing alone and went straight to the office of Zhao Chuncheng, Deputy Minister of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

The large aircraft project has been in charge of the Third Ministry of Machine Building since its inception.

Deputy Minister Zhao Chuncheng is the main person in charge of the project.

It was also he who informed Professor Song that the large aircraft project was about to be discontinued.

Comfort Professor Song and related scientific researchers, and be mentally prepared in advance.

"Northern Machinery Company is going to take over the Yunshi project?!"

Deputy Minister Zhao felt as if he was struck by lightning.

That is Professor Song.

Someone else told Vice Minister Zhao that Lin Kaifeng's machinery company was ready to take over the large aircraft project.

Vice Minister Zhao must think that this person has a problem with his brain.

Professor Song said with a serious expression: "Deputy Minister Zhao, you heard it right. Northern Machinery Company does intend to take over the Yunshi project."

"Funding problems, equipment problems, and various external problems that affect the domestic large aircraft project, Northern Machinery Company and its director Lin Kaifeng will do everything they can to help us solve them."

"If the ministry agrees, Comrade Lin Kaifeng will immediately go to Beijing to discuss the matter of taking over the large aircraft project with our Third Ministry of Machine Building."

"Just wait a moment."

Deputy Minister Zhao rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice: "Northern Machinery Company is carrying out many major scientific research projects. Each project requires a certain amount of investment. The domestic Yun-12 aircraft project has lasted for years, and the funds invested can pile up several mountains of gold."

"Even if the project has reached the 70% stage, the subsequent 30% still requires a lot of capital investment. Is the machinery company sure it can come up with that much money?"

"can."

Professor Song reported to Vice Minister Zhao seriously.

Lin Kaifeng proposed several plans to introduce funds.

Many of the suggestions in the plan are highly feasible.

In addition, Lin Kaifeng will also use his personal connections to borrow some funds from Hong Kong and abroad.

Northern Machinery Company has opened up the desert market and produced cars, drones, and solar generators, which will bring the company unprecedented economic profits.

A portion of these profits will be used to support research on large aircraft projects.

"This matter is too big, I can't make the decision alone. Please wait in the capital for a few days. I will inform you as soon as there is news."

When a joint-stock enterprise takes over a national project, not only can Vice Minister Zhao not make the decision, even the Minister of the Third Ministry of Machine Building cannot be in charge.

The news quickly spread throughout the system.

The next day, Vice Minister Zhao and relevant leaders of the Third Ministry of Machine Building reported the relevant content step by step.

Send it to the old leader.

No one expected that the old leader would give instructions so quickly.

Lin Kaifeng was summoned to Beijing to participate in an internal discussion meeting of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

Discussed with leaders and technicians of various departments the specific matters concerning Northern Machinery Company taking over the Yunshida aircraft project.

Northern Machinery Company is a nationally renowned foreign exchange earning enterprise, and Lin Kaifeng is a capable man with extraordinary powers.

We have established good personal relationships with a large number of foreign and Hong Kong businessmen.

Lin Kaifeng may be able to do what others cannot do.

The domestically-produced large aircraft was on the verge of being discontinued, so it was handed over to the Northern Machinery Company, which was allowed to fund the research on its own, without costing the country a penny and promoting continued research on the project's technology.

Even if the result is a failure, follow-up research may not be ineffective.

To a certain extent, some technical results can be achieved.

Although Northern Machinery Company has undergone a shareholding reform, it still has state shares.

It is a semi-state-owned enterprise.

Even if the large aircraft project is finally handed over to Northern Machinery Company, it will not be handed over to an individual, but to a state-owned enterprise to complete.

A few days later in the afternoon, Professor Song led a large group of scientific researchers and waited at the Beijing Railway Station.

In another half an hour, the train that Lin Kaifeng is taking will arrive at the station.

In addition to relevant leaders from the Third Ministry of Machine Building, this meeting also included a large number of scientific researchers involved in the large aircraft project.

Including some leading cadres from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Professor Song may not be able to fully describe Lin Kaifeng's overall conception.

It would be best if Lin Kaifeng himself came and talked about his views on domestically produced large aircraft.
