Chapter 372

Lin Zhenhua claimed to have been taken advantage of in front of Chen Tian, ​​but he was actually just joking.Of course he knew that it was completely impossible to get information back from the Soviet Union without the support of the security department.If it's just one or two blueprints, with the current chaos in the Soviet Union, they can be mixed with any cargo and shipped back.But what he is focusing on now is tens of thousands of materials. Even if it is loaded by train, it is estimated that several wagons will be needed, which is not easy to fool around.

Putting such a difficult problem in Chen Tian's hands, it became very simple.If it doesn't work, he can use the channel of the smugglers to get the things back. Anyway, the border guards and they are originally a family.

Since it is necessary to ask Chen Tian for help, it is reasonable for Chen Tian to charge some tolls.In fact, what Chen Tian wanted was not much, just some information related to the national defense industry.Lin Zhenhua provided these materials to Chen Tian, ​​and he had no loss, because Chen Tian wanted these materials for the defense industry system, and it did not conflict with the civilian product market that Lin Zhenhua was involved in.

"Okay, for brother Chen's sake, I can charge less money." Lin Zhenhua pretended to be distressed and said.As soon as he promised this, he immediately put forward his own conditions: "Brother Chen, you can also ask for materials, but you have to help with the work of translating and sorting out these materials."

Chen Tiandao: "Just kidding, how can I help with this matter? If it goes well, we will almost have to move a library back from the Soviet Union. Do the math, how many people are needed to translate all the materials?"

"I didn't ask you to do it." Lin Zhenhua said, "But it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a venue for me, right?"

Chen Tian was taken aback, and asked, "Why, don't you plan to take these things back to Xunyang to deal with?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "I just calculated that these materials can only be processed in Beijing. Those who can handle these materials must firstly understand Russian and secondly have a certain professional background, and at least there must be no less than 100 people. .There are so many professionals, I can only get together in Beijing.”

"You're right." Chen Tian also recalled it. He thought for a while and said, "Well, let me inquire about the manpower problem for you. I know that some universities and scientific research institutes have past Professors of Russian, engineers, etc., we can hire them. Of course, their compensation has to be paid by you.”

"Well, fine." Lin Zhenhua agreed.He just calculated silently in his mind that if he wanted to hire 100 professionals to do the translation and sorting of these materials, based on the monthly salary of 200 yuan, it would be 24 yuan a year, which he could fully afford.In the future, even if you find a useful copy from these materials, its value will be far more than 24.

Chen Tian continued: "As for the venue, I have something ready-made. There is an abandoned barracks at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. It used to be the station of a training regiment in the Beijing Military Region. What do you think of this barracks assigned to you?"

"Great!" Lin Zhenhua was overjoyed, "Brother Chen, will I use this barracks in the future? It's really not possible, I can buy it with some money."

"Use it first, I guess the troops won't want it anymore." Chen Tian said casually, "If you really want to pay, you can help us build two houses."

"This... Let's think about it in the long run." Lin Zhenhua smiled and took Chen Tian's words as a breeze blowing on his face.

This unexpected episode gave Lin Zhenhua another job. In the next few months, he was so busy that he wished he could split one day into two.

The first thing Lin Zhenhua did was to mobilize a group of technicians, including Wei Jingwen, Fan Shibin, Liu Zhaohua, Wang Haisheng, etc., and let them go to the Soviet Union with Wu Jie in stages to negotiate the purchase of technical materials and equipment. matter.

At the beginning, these technicians who went to the Soviet Union thought about choosing carefully and bargaining.Later, everyone finally realized that the technologies accumulated by the Soviet Union over the past 70 years were really vast, and it would be impossible to select all of them without ten or eight years.After understanding this point, everyone no longer bothers, as long as they think it is about passable materials, they will be packaged and bought, and then loaded and shipped back to China.

The situation in the Soviet Union, as Wu Jie said, is completely out of control.People in various units are trying to find ways to benefit themselves, as long as someone is willing to pay, let them sell anything.Countless tangible and intangible wealth was lost so quickly.

In the mountains in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, a military camp that had been silent for a long time suddenly became noisy.First, a construction team came to transform several warehouses that were originally used to store weapons and ammunition into moisture-proof and dust-proof archives.Then, truckloads of file bags came from nowhere and were sorted into warehouses.

A group of retired professors and retired engineers hired from various units lived in the barracks, and it was said that they were engaged in a secret work.Working with them, there are hundreds of Russian language students from Beijing Foreign Studies University and several other universities. Signed a confidentiality agreement and promised not to disclose the content of his work.

An unprecedented data collation work was quietly launched. The staff dug out the experimental records from the dusty file bags, numbered them, categorized them, and wrote relevant summaries to establish a set of experimental records. retrieval system.Those materials identified as having important value will be translated in full by specialized personnel, and then quickly transferred to relevant units so that they can be applied to production practice as soon as possible.

Lawyer Qian Yuanping from Hong Kong also rushed over, and he brought a wooden sign to the former barracks, with the words "Hanhua Technical Intelligence Research Institute" written on it.In fact, this research institute existed several years ago, and it was established by Qian Yuanping entrusted by Lin Zhenhua on the basis of the patent fund he set up.Qian Yuanping has now officially become a member of Hanhua, serving as the director of the Institute of Technical Information.

In addition to intelligence materials, a large number of machinery and equipment were also shipped back to China.Chen Tian used his system to bribe the officials along the railway lines in the Soviet Union, so these officials just turned a blind eye and let the flatbed trucks pull heavy equipment out of the Soviet Union's borders.

The Soviet machine feels stupid, but from another perspective, it has sufficient materials and is solid and reliable.The body of some heavy-duty machine tools is a solid piece of cast iron, which makes the vibration of the bed of these machine tools very weak during operation, which can better ensure the accuracy of machining.

Most of the Soviet equipment was sent to the Luzhong Machine Tool Factory, some of which could be used directly for production, and others would undergo the necessary modifications to improve their performance by a notch or two.As an enterprise that produces heavy machine tools, Luzhong Machine Tool Factory needs to process many large machine parts. This batch of Soviet equipment can just meet such needs.

"It's really a good thing!" Ma Shengfan said to Lin Zhenhua with emotion, watching a 6000-ton free-forging hydraulic press dismantled from a tank factory in Ural being rebuilt in the workshop of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory.

In many heavy machinery and equipment, some large forgings are included, such as the casing of nuclear power equipment, large water turbine rotors, marine crankshafts, heavy machine tool spindles and so on.To produce these large forgings, it is necessary to rely on large forging hydraulic presses.At that time, only Shanghai Heavy Machinery Factory, China No. 3 Heavy Machinery Factory and No. 6000 Heavy Machinery Factory in China had three hydraulic presses of more than [-] tons, and Yizhong had another hydraulic press of [-] tons.When Luzhong Machine Tool Factory wanted to forge large forgings in the past, it could only be sent to Shanghai Heavy Machinery Factory for processing, which was very troublesome.

Today, Luzhong Machine Tool Factory also has its own 6000-ton hydraulic press, which means that the equipment level of Luzhong Machine Tool Factory has stepped up to a new level. The gap is also very limited.

"Old Ma, guess what, how much did we spend to get this hydraulic machine?" Lin Zhenhua asked Ma Shengfan with a smile.

"I reckon, it must be more than 1000 million, right?" Ma Shengfan said.It would cost tens of millions of yuan to build a brand new hydraulic press. Although this one is second-hand, it is still very new, so Ma Shengfan estimated that the price would not be much lower.

Lin Zhenhua said proudly: "Let me tell you, I spent less than 50 US dollars on this hydraulic machine, and the co-authored RMB is less than 200 million."

"It's only 200 million!" Ma Shengfan exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the same as picking in vain?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Isn't it a free choice? The 50 yuan also includes the money to be paid to these dozen technicians."

As he said that, he pointed to a dozen Soviets who were helping to install the hydraulic press. Installing a hydraulic press is a technical job, and it is really impossible to do it without any experience.When Lin Zhenhua spent money to buy the equipment, he had already negotiated the installation.

"It would be great if these people could stay." Ma Shengfan whispered, "Xiao Lin, our Luzhong Machine Tool Factory has never built such a large hydraulic machine before. I'm really worried that our workers won't be able to take it down."

Lin Zhenhua said: "It depends on the personal charm of your factory manager Ma. If you can afford the money, it is not impossible for them to stay and work in China."

"How much salary do they want?" Ma Shengfan asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I have asked people to inquire. Their current salary in the Soviet Union is 200 rubles a month. The exchange rate of rubles to dollars is about 0.6 to 1, that is to say, it is equivalent to 330 dollars. How much can you give?" up?"

"It's almost 1000 yuan." Ma Shengfan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "The price is not expensive. Why are they from abroad, so it's normal for the wages to be higher. These workers The energy is really good.”

"Hehe, then it's up to you to discuss with them." Lin Zhenhua said, "Old Ma, now that the equipment is in place, the technology is also available, and a batch of orders have been accumulated. Let's see how you do it, Ma."

Ma Shengfan slapped his chest loudly, and said, "Xiaolin, don't worry, because of our current technical strength, it is absolutely no problem to have an output value of 3 million yuan this year. Next year, we will reach 6 million yuan, and the year after that will be 10 billion yuan. Dare to issue a military order."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
