Over the years, Chenguang Factory and Hongqi Factory have been like twin brothers, from babbling, to toddling, to taking off and growing. Once upon a time, the two factories were located in the east and west of Jiangbei City, echoing each other. Every year, the city
When selecting the May 1st Labor Award and the March 8th Red Flag Bearer, these two factories always win the most awards.
The dormitories of the two factories were both located on Gaotupo. Many young male and female workers fell in love over time and got married. For a time, marriage between the two factories became a trend. Liu Ziguang's parents, Lu Tianming and Wei Shumin, met at that time.
Later, when the state-owned enterprises were reformed, the two factories came to a standstill at the same time. They were laid off, restructured, bought out of service, and re-employed. Liu Huan sang "Start Over" over and over again, but life was still unsettled. Fortunately, the two factories had a great business and relied on
I managed to survive the most difficult time and gradually got better. Unexpectedly, with the rapid development of real estate and the dominance of land economy, the factory covering a large area turned out to be the original sin, turning a good red flag factory into a
It went bankrupt and cost several lives.
At the critical moment, brotherly units still show courage and lend a helping hand. It is better to be merged by Chenguang Factory than to be acquired by those private enterprises who do not know the so-called so-called private enterprises.
At noon that day, the Hongqi Iron and Steel Factory was buzzing with gongs and drums and blasting firecrackers. Many workers burned paper under the steel statue of Wei Shumin to tell President Wei the good news.
"Xiao Wei, our two factories should have merged long ago. Once we merged, these things would be gone, and you wouldn't leave so early." A gray-haired old worker opened the lid of a lunch box full of dumplings and placed it in the bathroom.
Shu Min's spiritual life.
…
Lu Tianming's mood at this moment can be described by an idiom: strong and intense.
He never dreamed that such a struggling machinery factory in a second-tier city would receive 300 million yuan in venture capital from Singapore's Temasek Investment Bank. This injection of funds revitalized the Chenguang Factory and no longer had to worry about the lack of rice.
Worry about the pot.
Venture capital has always favored young and dynamic high-tech companies. An old state-owned enterprise like Chenguang Factory with a lot of retired workers, backward technology, and loose management, how could it possibly obtain such a huge investment? In fact, Lu Tianming was not the only one who didn’t understand.
, even the competent authorities can’t figure it out, but since they are willing to invest, what reason is there to refuse?
Venture capital is different from acquisitions. Investors only inject funds, do not hold controlling rights, do not require pledges and guarantees, or even participate in operations. They hold up to 30% of the shares, and will transfer them through IPO or acquisition after the invested enterprise becomes bigger.
Withdraw the investment and obtain income through equity and other methods. In other words, the investor is the person who jointly makes the cake.
The investment project went extremely smoothly, and it took only one week to reach the agreement. It is said that this was because of the words from the senior officials of the relevant departments in the capital. Chenguang Machinery Factory changed its guns overnight, but they were used to living in poverty and did not take it seriously.
The precious funds were used to build new buildings and buy luxury cars. At Lu Tianming's suggestion, the leadership team voted collectively to spend 250 million to acquire Hongqi Steel Works and make the cake bigger.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu." Zhuoli's voice woke up Lu Tianming from his deep thoughts. In this acquisition bidding, Huaqing Industrial Company, a subsidiary of Zhuoli, also participated, but it was made clear that it was here to accompany the bid, but Huaqing
With industry participation, the bidding becomes more fair, just, open and in line with the wishes of the leaders.
Zhuo Li made an exception today and wore a sophisticated suit, a scarlet Goldlion tie and a crocodile leather belt, which showed his nouveau riche temperament. Lu Tianming wore an old suit with a faint tired look on his face. He stretched out his hand to shake Zhuo Li's hand.
He said: "I agree, Mr. Zhuo."
The acquisition is a systematic project, and now it needs to be submitted to the provincial government for approval. However, if the Hongqi Factory, a hot potato that no one dares to take over, has such a good future, no one will cause trouble. Lu Tianming left the bidding center and took the bus back.
When they arrived at Chenguang Factory, the factory was full of joy, as if Chenguang Factory had really returned to its former glory days, but Lu Tianming knew in his heart that the 300 million capital injection would only make the burden on his shoulders heavier.
He first went to the factory office to arrange work, and then walked to the test area at the back of the factory. This was originally an air-raid shelter, but now it is surrounded by barbed wire and security guards are standing guard. Employees without passes are not allowed to enter. After Lu Tianming showed his ID
Entering the air-raid shelter, the air-raid shelter that used to be filled with feces and urine and sewage flowing across it has been renovated. Electric lights are installed on the walls, the floor is swept clean, and the large fan at the exhaust vent is whirring, indicating that the place is in operation.
After walking along the long passage for a while, there was an iron door in front of him. Lu Tianming pressed the fingerprint lock with his thumb, and the iron door slowly opened. He walked in, turned a corner, and then opened a heavy iron door. Suddenly, there was a sense of wonder inside.
The cheerful, bright hall of hundreds of square meters has a high dome, and there is no sense of depression in the basement.
This is a laboratory. There are two huge workbenches in the middle, which are filled with various sundries, vernier calipers, soldering irons, files, sandpaper, wires, multimeters, pliers, screwdrivers, etc., as well as various resins.
Or semi-finished products made of carbon fiber. There are aluminum alloy keels, transparent plexiglass fairings, etc. on the ground. The area against the wall is surrounded by partitions. There is a full set of machine tools and spare parts warehouse. There are several items in the design room.
There is a computer and chair next to the bed and dining table, and leftover lunch boxes and drink bottles are everywhere.
Seeing Mr. Lu coming, the two people who were working at the desk quickly stood up to greet them. Lu Tianming said with a smile on his face: "Gong Wen, Xiaoye, I'm here to tell you some good news. We successfully acquired Hongqi Steel Plant today."
The owner of this laboratory is Wen Xue's father, Uncle Wen, and his apprentice, Ye Zhiqiu, a graduate of the Polytechnic University. They have been working here for more than half a year.
Upon hearing the good news, Lao Wen high-fived and praised: "What a double happiness. Our first batch of finished products have just been produced. Xiaoye, please show them to Mr. Lu."
Ye Zhiqiu drove a small electric forklift and went to the back warehouse to move a long cylindrical object placed on a steel shelf. Lu Tianming took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, holding his breath and looking at it carefully.
This is a slender, light blue-grey missile with a round transparent fairing, about the same length as an adult, about 30 centimeters in diameter, two wingspans about the same as the total length of the missile, and a V-shaped composite tail behind it.
Lao Wen introduced: "This is a Type I cruise missile. The missile body is made of aviation aluminum alloy as the keel and carbon fiber skin. The engine uses an imported model turbojet engine, a computer motherboard, a GPS receiver, a gyroscope, and a steering gear.
The gyro compass, auxiliary battery, and oil pump are all civilian products that can be purchased on the market. The missile uses GPS, terrain, and inertial combined guidance. The aerodynamic layout is improved after the American Tomahawk cruise missile. The V-shaped composite tail structure can simplify the structure and
Avoid the engine nozzle to avoid heat interference with the guidance system and steering gear."
Lu Tianming stroked the civilian cruise missile and sighed with emotion: "Gong Wen, thank you for your hard work."
Lao Wen smiled faintly: "The experience from twenty years ago finally came in handy, and I can die with a peaceful eye. By the way, Mr. Lu, there is an additional by-product, which Xiaoye made from scraps. Take a look.
"
After saying this, he gestured to Ye Zhiqiu, who shyly walked to the corner, lifted up a tarpaulin, and revealed a large model airplane underneath.
This aircraft has a large delta wing structure, a small propeller at the tail, and a transparent fairing on the head. It has an overall streamlined design, is painted in jungle camouflage, and looks murderous.
"Xiaoye, let me introduce you to Mr. Lu." Lao Wen said with an encouraging look.
Ye Zhiqiu talked eloquently: "Mr. Lu, after we received the research task, after analysis and demonstration, we felt that we should develop two products at the same time to meet the different needs of customers. This is the Type II cruise missile, which uses an aviation aluminum alloy frame.
Fiberglass skin, domestic small piston engine, propeller drive, guidance system and the I type are not much different. After all, tactical performance cannot be sacrificed. The difference between the II type and the I type is that the range is only a quarter of its range, which is fifty kilometers.
However, compared to unguided cannons or rockets, the accuracy advantage is still huge, and compared to tactical surface-to-surface missiles or cruise missiles that often cost tens of millions, the cost is even more incredible."
Lao Wen continued: "The cost of Type I mainly lies in the imported engine and carbon fiber components, but the cost of electronic components such as the guidance system is very low, such as a GPS receiver, 12 channels, RS-232 output NMEA-0183 format data, weight 50
Gram, the price is only 800 yuan, the industrial micro radio altimeter and the industrial micro gyroscope are only the price of a TV. These devices all use 5V power supply, the total current is less than 30 amps, we chose a laptop computer
The lithium battery pack is used for power supply, and the cost can be kept below 500 yuan.”
Lu Tianming asked: "So what is the specific price?"
"Excluding R&D expenses, the cost of Type I is 100,000 RMB, and the cost of Type II is lower, only 30,000 RMB. If mass-produced, the cost can be further reduced."
Lu Tianming's eyes lit up: "Okay! You have done a good job in cost control, but don't be too petty. The ultimate goal of everything is combat effectiveness. What we want is not fun model aircraft, but reliable weapons. Do you have confidence?
Are you sure these two missiles can withstand the test of actual combat?"
Lao Wen shook his head: "Any weapon is successful after thousands of failures. I can't guarantee that there will be no errors during the test."
Lu Tianming laughed boldly: "It doesn't matter. Let's go try it tomorrow. If we don't pretend to be a warhead, others will think we are playing with model airplanes."
