Chapter 83 Report of the Institute of Social Research
After Dr. Ma and Huang Junjie completed the improvement of the electromagnetic catapult.
He quickly returned to the Institute of Marine Science and Technology with the experimental report.
After all, he has been very depressed these years. Dr. Ma's research on electromagnetic catapults has not received official recognition and support from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Instead, he relied on his scientific research awards over the years to independently research electromagnetic catapults.
As for the officially supported steam catapult project, there has not been much development.
It is just a test on the ground, and the technology of the aircraft mother is not very mature.
After all, steam catapult technology is destined to be eliminated, especially its huge weight and volume. A steam catapult weighs more than 500 tons and more than 1,000 cubic meters. An aircraft carrier must be equipped with four of them.
If the Liaodong were to be equipped with a steam catapult, it would be equivalent to remaking it.
If we put ourselves in Huang Junjie's shoes, it would be impossible for him to spend his own money to develop electromagnetic catapults for the country.
But Dr. Ma did it anyway. This is the selfless dedication of the older generation. No matter how others evaluate his spirit, Huang Haojie admires him deeply.
Huang Junjie looked at Dr. Ma who hurriedly returned to the Institute of Marine Science and Technology, hoping that the official would adopt it! Huang Junjie was not absolutely sure about this kind of thing, after all, there were considerations from above.
Galaxy Technology 2015 Building.
Huang Junjie rarely comes to the office to work.
"Brother Jack, your coffee."
"Thank you for your hard work, Ating."
The little secretary has been busy with Galaxy Technology's affairs recently. After all, Huang Haojie spends all day in the laboratory. At this time, he needs a trustworthy person to serve as a bridge to connect Galaxy Technology's affairs.
"I'm very happy to be able to help Brother Jie." The little secretary pressed his shoulder.
Huang Junjie picked up the phone.
"Hey, Zhuge! It's me!"
"Mr. Huang!"
"How has your institute's research been recently?"
"Mr. Huang, our research institute has made a preliminary assessment of the next few years, and I am planning to report to you in two days."
"I'm in the office today, come over."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
Zhuge Sansheng was recruited by Huang Haojie from a large securities company in Shanghai, his former analyst.
Now he is the director of the Galaxy Institute of Science, Technology and Society.
After a while, an elegant middle-aged man, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, came to Huang Haojie's office. He was Zhuge Sansheng.
"Mr. Huang!"
"sit down!"
Zhuge Sansheng sat calmly on the sofa aside, while the secretary quickly went to make tea.
"Mr. Huang, this is the preliminary assessment of our research institute." Zhuge Sansheng handed a document to Huang Haojie.
Take it and look through it a few times.
"Do you think a full-scale trade war will break out between Dongtang and Milijia?"
"That's right. I began to notice that the Mi Li family's policies were changing at the beginning of this year. Especially after Te Mopu came to power, they took many actions. I analyzed that the possibility of a full-scale trade war is very high." Zhuge Sansheng explained.
Huang Haojie nodded, and he also agreed that a full-scale trade war is inevitable.
"Then what kind of preparations do you think we need to make?" Huang Haojie closed the document and asked.
"I think we should remain cautious about the expansion of international business."
Huang Haojie nodded, which is why he has not been keen on international business.
Many people say that economic globalization is beneficial to the development of enterprises, but for Dongtang enterprises, economic globalization is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages.
After all, Dongtang is not a Mi Li family. If Dongtang is the world's number one military economy, then there will be no problem with the economic globalization of Dongtang's enterprises.
But the problem is that Dongtang's current position is very embarrassing. Economically it is the second in the world. Will the Mi Li family, the boss of the world, let you go? It's obviously impossible.
Therefore, as Dong Tang gets closer and closer to the Mi Li family, the Mi Li family's suppression of Dong Tang will become more intense. This is inevitable.
Unless Dongtang surrenders, castrates itself like the Kingdom of the Sun, and signs something similar to the Plaza Agreement, the Mi Li family will never give up.
Huang Junjie knew that the world at this time was at a very critical moment. Dongtang wanted to take over and the Mili family wanted to stay ahead, but there was only one boss in the world.
Fighting is inevitable. Once the Mi Li family sees that they cannot suppress the Eastern Tang Dynasty, they will inevitably take more drastic measures.
Huang Junjie even suspected that the Mi Li family might restart the Cold War and completely encircle the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
If you are a global enterprise at this time, then the time has come for you to choose whether to stand in Dongtang or Milijia. For global enterprises, it is a difficult decision.
This is why Mi Li's companies can globalize, but Dong Tang's companies cannot. They have a lot of younger brothers, and you, Dong Tang, have a lot of enemies. Let's not mention those black skunks.
Why is the Netherlands not banning the sale of lithography machines to the MiLi family? First, they are allies, and second, the MiLi family has a big fist.
If Dongtang is number one in the world, try banning sales and embargoing trade, and I will teach you how to be a good person in minutes.
Zhuge Sansheng continued his analysis:
"Our research institute has reviewed the trade situation between Dongtang and Milijia and other countries over the years, and I found that Dongtang now has three major problems."
"First, the energy structure is unsafe. Dongtang's current oil reserves are less than 50 million tons, and the situation in the Luotuo area is unpredictable."
The Dongtang National Petroleum Reserve began construction in 2004. The National Petroleum Reserve is one of the country's important strategic reserve projects.
It is financed by the government to select several locations across the country to build large-scale oil storage warehouses. During the stable period of the oil market, through continuous and planned procurement, it absorbs oil from the international crude oil market and carries out long-term storage.
On the one hand, the national oil reserve can deal with the national security risks caused by the interruption of oil supply. In addition, in emergencies, the country can also use strategic oil reserves to stabilize the risk of sharp fluctuations in market prices. The national oil reserve is an important part of every country.
A long-term strategic plan.
The Dongtang Strategic Petroleum Reserve Plan started in 2004 and has now established several petroleum reserve bases in Daya Bay, Qingdao, Huangdao, Lingnan and other places in Zhejiang Province, Ningbo, Zhoushan, and Shandong Province.
It is expected that by 2020, the strategic oil reserves will reach 85 million tons, approximately equal to the country's 90-day oil usage.
This is one of the reasons why the Great Elder strongly promotes new energy vehicle power storage and wind power generation at charging stations. Environmental protection is one thing, but national security is the most important.
"Second, over-reliance on the export-oriented economy will seriously affect economic development and people's livelihood once it is subject to trade war and trade sanctions."
"Third, there is the issue of food security. The official report on Dongtang's domestic grain self-sufficiency rate was 94 in 2015, but this year it has dropped to about 83. However, official data is often suspected of whitewashing the situation. After our research, we have initially estimated Dongtang's grain self-sufficiency rate.
The self-sufficiency rate is set at 75.”
"Especially when it comes to oil plants, Dongtang relies heavily on imports. The main importing country is Mi Lijia and Ben Samba, and their soybeans and rapeseed are all genetically modified."
"The official self-sufficiency rate for meat is about 95.2. In fact, at least five million tons of illegal meat flows into the country from foreign countries every year in Dongtang. The situation of beef is especially serious. At least two million tons of illegal beef flow in every year."
In other words, Dongtang’s meat self-sufficiency rate may actually be around 80%.”
Huang Haojie suddenly felt shocked.
"Zhuge, what suggestions do you have?"
"In recent years, due to environmental protection reasons, there have been fewer and fewer domestic pig farmers. I think there is a lot of potential to invest in agriculture." Zhuge Sansheng suggested.
Huang Junjie touched his chin and began to think. He also had some understanding of domestic grain and food issues, although it was not as comprehensive as Zhuge's analysis of the three provinces.
The number of farmers in his village has indeed been decreasing in the past two years, and land abandonment is very common.
"Let's do this! Zhuge, you and the people at your research institute, customize a plan for me to see which breeding and planting industries can be focused on investment."
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."
"Well, show me the plan once it's ready."
Huang Haojie never thought that Galaxy Technology would raise pigs and farm fields.
