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

It is not difficult to understand why the superiors arranged for Northern Machinery Group to acquire Factory 573.

It’s a reward in disguise.

Lin Kaifeng was rewarded for assisting the country and obtained tens of billions of foreign exchange.

After all, not everyone is qualified to acquire such a state-owned factory.

In the past, Northern Machinery Group’s mergers and acquisitions were limited to small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises at most.

Even if the Ministry of Aviation Industry agrees to acquire this strategically important factory.

The highest authorities would not agree.

only……

The more Lin Kaifeng thought about it, the more confused he became. He looked at General Liu blankly.

General Liu said amiably, "Ever since you borrowed aviation experts from the Third Ministry of Machine Building to develop drones, my old friend and I have guessed that your talk of developing drones is more like paving the way for entering the aviation field."

"Sure enough, a series of subsequent events proved that my guess and that of my old friend were correct."

"Through your personal abilities that you have repeatedly demonstrated, as well as your business development and your foresight into the future international landscape, your Northern Machinery Group will not only produce drones, but may also produce real aircraft."

Immediately, General Liu stopped keeping the secret.

As soon as the UAV project was launched, Lin Kaifeng immediately set his sights on the large aircraft project.

We are willing to take the risk of affecting the development of the group in order to keep the large aircraft project going.

This can be seen.

Lin Kaifeng has far-reaching plans.

Just now, General Liu only mentioned the representative of Factory 573, and Lin Kaifeng immediately said the full name of Factory 573.

This proves that Lin Kaifeng has long been paying attention to several major domestic aircraft manufacturers.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to react so quickly.

"Comrade, am I right in saying this?"

General Liu asked with a smile.

Lin Kaifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.

Who says that only ordinary people are used to imagining things?

Sometimes, superiors are also masters of imagination.

Lin Kaifeng knew that Factory 573 represented the Shencheng Aircraft Manufacturing Plant, because he had been eyeing this aircraft manufacturing plant for a long time.

This is indeed the reason for the work of later generations.

Factory 573 was originally an enterprise directly under the Third Ministry of Machine Building. With the deepening of economic reform, the management rights of a large number of subordinate enterprises began to be decentralized to local governments.

Factory 573 was placed under the management of the Shanghai Aviation Office.

Shanghai not only needs to carry out urban infrastructure construction, but also needs to attract investment and carry out various types of people's livelihood construction through investment attraction, and the funds on hand are stretched.

The subordinate enterprises under local management naturally cannot get sufficient capital supply.

Due to some special historical reasons, Factory 573 has undergone many changes in management departments.

Throughout the 573s, Factory changed several jurisdictions.

The affiliation remained undetermined, resulting in Factory 573 being in a half-dead state.

It was not until the 573s that the affiliation of Factory was officially determined.

With the supply of funds, Factory 573 began to improve.

It has become a well-known aircraft manufacturing group.

"The old general is wise. Our group does have the idea of ​​entering the aviation field."

General Liu was willing to use his imagination, and Lin Kaifeng did not explain much.

Expressed attitude and willingness to acquire Factory 573.

General Liu said: "The fact that you know that Factory 573 is the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Plant shows that you know a lot about it."

"I won't say much about the other introductions."

"Factory 573 is an aircraft manufacturing enterprise with a glorious history and excellent work style. Even though it faces many problems during the economic restructuring, its merits outweigh its flaws."

"I feel relieved to hand over this enterprise to the Northern Machinery Group, and my old friends feel even more relieved. We all believe that your Northern Group can not only help Factory 573 turn losses into profits and smoothly enter the market economy, but also further develop and grow on their existing basis."

During those difficult years, Factory 573 made outstanding contributions and achievements to China's aviation industry.

Together with six other aircraft manufacturing plants, it formed the foundation of Dragon Country's aviation industry.

In the 573s, Factory worked together with a large number of aviation technology experts from the Third Ministry of Machine Building to produce and design the first large civilian aircraft for Longguo.

General Liu has a clear understanding of the current problems of Factory 573.

The issues of funding and equipment are merely superficial.

The real problem is the lack of a capable leadership department.

General Liu and the old leaders believed that as long as they found the right "in-law" for Factory 573.

They can still contribute to Longguo's aviation industry.

Who is a good in-law?

The answer is obvious, Northern Machinery Group.

Before talking with Lin Kaifeng, Factory 573 had changed its subordinate superior units three times.

Several changes of affiliated units not only failed to solve the restructuring problems faced by Factory 573, but made the problems worse.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, Factory 573 is not only an aircraft manufacturing plant, but also represents the glorious history of our country's aviation industry from scratch to large scale."

"After completing the merger, I hope you can help the country export weapons with the same enthusiasm, help Factory 573 come back to life, and restore the glorious achievements of Factory 573."

"Please rest assured, old general. I will take care of Factory 573 just like I take care of Northern Machinery Group, and I will definitely help this company turn losses into profits."

"Not only will the 573 factory contribute to our country's aviation industry, but we will also take them abroad for further development and growth."

Lin Kaifeng gave General Liu his assurance in the tone of a military order.

From this moment on, Lin Kaifeng will focus on Factory 573.

Comprehensively solve a series of problems existing in the factory.

Improve everyone's enthusiasm and enhance the aircraft research and development capabilities of Factory 573.

Improve a series of problems such as equipment aging.

Simultaneously.

Northern Machinery Group will also invest heavily to expand the scale of Factory 573.

This will enable the factory to gradually acquire the ability to enter the international aviation market.

"Okay! I'm waiting for that day to come."

General Liu was smiling happily.

After thinking for a while, General Liu asked again: "Factory 573 has been merged into your Northern Machinery Group and is about to enter the domestic and international commercial markets. It is no longer appropriate to call it 573. What new name should it be given?"

Lin Kaifeng said without hesitation: "Old General, this is what I think. We should still call it Factory 573 internally, and call it Northern Aircraft Manufacturing Company externally. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's call it that."

General Liu stretched his shoulders and said, "You go back and get some sleep now. I'll finish the work on hand. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to Shanghai and meet with the comrades from Factory 573. We'll hold an on-site problem meeting. If the higher authorities can help you solve any problem, I'll do it on your behalf on the spot."

"Once these problems are solved, it will be up to you how things will develop in the future."

"Thank you, old general."

After saying that, Lin Kaifeng yawned.

Seeing this, General Liu arranged for someone to send Lin Kaifeng back to the guesthouse.

Told him to go to bed early tonight.

At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, General Liu will take Lin Kaifeng on a military plane and head straight to Shanghai.
