Chapter 566 Sudden Attack
Lockheed Martin is the largest arms dealer in the United States, and of course the largest arms company in the world.
Such as F16 fighter jets, F22 fighter jets, F35 fighter jets, and C130 transport aircraft, these main models of the US Air Force are almost all manufactured by this company.
In the field of missiles, the Trident missiles equipped on American submarines are also developed and produced by this company.
As a company that produces the most cutting-edge fighter jets, Lockheed Martin's research in aerodynamics is of course the world's top. They have the world's top wind tunnel laboratory, and they can also build the world's top wind tunnel laboratory.
In the era of advanced information in later generations, many Chinese people know what Lockheed Martin does. However, in the late 1990s, how could ordinary Chinese people know this information!
Ever since, the unlucky Director Wu of the Coal Import and Export Corporation's US office, when he learned that Lockheed Martin could produce axial compressors, he excitedly came to contact him.
Axial flow compressors are the core equipment for building wind tunnels, which can be used to develop aircraft and missiles, and Lockheed Martin is a military enterprise.
a Chinese. Going to the military industrial enterprises in the United States, clamoring to buy fighter jets and missile research and development equipment, isn't it like giving away people's heads.
So Lockheed Martin agreed quietly, and turned around and reported it to the CIA.
As a result, the CIA came directly to the door and searched the US office of the coal import and export company. By the way, even Director Wu was called in for interrogation.
Cao Siyuan never expected such a result. He is a coal seller, so how could he have something to do with aircraft missiles?
After this incident, Cao Siyuan finally understood why Guodian was willing to spend 400 million to replace such an axial compressor.
Centralized Coal Industry Group and Coal Import and Export Corporation have always had cooperation projects, and the leaders of the two companies often meet. When they get together, it is indispensable to organize a dinner party to connect with each other.
At the dinner, Cao Siyuan and Wang Yuequn talked about the axial flow compressor again.
This axial-flow compressor is really unavailable in China. I have asked all the machinery manufacturing companies, and there is really no company that can manufacture this thing. It seems that only by importing from abroad can we buy this kind of compressor. something.
As Wang Yuequn said, he stared at Cao Siyuan intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say that importing equipment from foreign countries is your specialty.
Hey, don't mention this axial flow compressor, I'll be annoyed when I mention it! Cao Siyuan said with a long sigh, and the Moutai in the glass became bitter.
Wang Yuequn immediately showed the true colors of the best bad friends. The more you feel angry, the more I want to mention it. He put on a curious baby and asked, What's going on?
Cao Siyuan explained; We are going to import an axial flow compressor from abroad, and we have also found a company in the United States that can produce this kind of machine. Guess what, it is an arms company! It specializes in the production of fighter jets and missiles. !
As a result, our people were regarded as arms smugglers, and were arrested by the CIA. The entire US office was also raided. You said that we, a coal seller, got into this kind of trouble. Injustice!
It's quite wronged. Wang Yuequn said with a smirk.
Cao Siyuan continued, I finally understand why Guodian Corporation would rather have an axial flow compressor than Yankuang's 2.4 billion yuan. This thing can't be bought even if you have money in China. If you have money abroad, you won’t be allowed to buy it!”
I also sent people to inquire. Guodian Corporation plans to build a wind tunnel laboratory for the research and development of wind power equipment. Wind power is a project that the country attaches great importance to. It is related to the country's energy security and future energy layout. Therefore, Guodian Corporation That's why we need this axial compressor. Wang Yuequn said.
Cao Siyuan suddenly realized and nodded: Then all of this makes sense. When it comes to national strategy, Guodian Corporation will naturally have to spare no expense to complete it. Perhaps for them, spending four It is very cost-effective to complete the research and development of wind power projects as soon as possible!
I also inquired about a piece of news. Wang Yuequn smiled, and then continued; Someone reported to the relevant department that during the bidding process of Taifeng and Taisheng Mine, there were obviously many higher quotations to choose from. In the end, Dongshan Mining, which offered 200 million yuan, won the bid, and there is a situation of favoritism, fraud, and cheap sale of state-owned assets!
Who reported it? Cao Siyuan asked.
Wang Yuequn shook his head: I don't know. There are so many companies participating in the bidding this time, and it's not just one or two companies that bid more than two billion yuan. There must be someone who is jealous and deliberately playing tricks!
The entire national power company is busy, preparing for the inspection of the leaders.
Mr. Zhu, the green belts on the roadside have been pruned, the fences of the green belts have been specially painted, and the notice board that prohibits picking flowers that you mentioned has also been erected.
Mr. Zhu, all the doors and windows have been inspected. The damaged ones have been replaced with new ones, and the loose ones have been repaired. They have also been lubricated, and the doors will no longer creak when opened and closed.
Mr. Zhu, the third round of general cleaning has been completed. I will take someone to walk around each department in a while, focusing on checking the corners and corners to make sure everything is safe.
Mr. Zhu, the bathroom next to the conference room on the second floor has been specially cleaned to ensure that there is no peculiar smell, and a new mirror has been replaced. I have already notified you that this bathroom will not be used for the time being!
The phone calls reported the progress of the work to Zhu Hongxiang, and Zhu Hongxiang kept calling to arrange various matters. It can be said that he was very busy!
The phone rang again, and Zhu Hongxiang mechanically picked up the receiver: Hello, I'm Zhu Hongxiang.
Mr. Zhu, I'm Liu Weihe from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The other party said.
It's Director Liu! Zhu Hongxiang had a lot of things in his hands, and he didn't have the heart to greet Liu Wei, so he asked directly, What instructions does Director Liu have?
When did Zhu Hongxiang become so quick-talking! Liu Weihe thought to himself.
Then he said, Did your company sell two coal mines recently, one is called Taifeng mine and the other is called Taisheng mine?
Director Liu, you are asking questions knowingly! According to the relevant arrangements of the country, our company is promoting reforms, reorganizing some businesses, and selling some assets, including Taifeng and Taisheng Mine. I also reported to you at the beginning. It was approved there. Zhu Hongxiang said.
I just want to confirm whether the two mines have been sold. Liu Weihe continued to ask.
It was sold, and it went through the process of public bidding, allowing social enterprises to participate. Zhu Hongxiang replied.
Liu Weihe went on to say: However, we received a report that there were practices of favoritism, fraud, and cheap sale of state-owned assets during the bidding process!
There is absolutely no such situation! According to the assessment at the time, Taifeng Mine and Taisheng Mine could be sold for about 1.8 billion yuan, and we sold 200 million yuan, which was 200 million yuan more than expected. How could this be considered a cheap sale of state-owned assets What! Zhu Hongxiang explained.
But the whistleblower said that there are many bidding companies with bids higher than two billion yuan. Is there such a thing? Liu Weihe asked.
There are companies that bid more than 200 million yuan, but when we choose the winning company, we will also consider other additional conditions besides money. The company that won the bid this time is more in line with ours because of the additional conditions given. The company's future development strategy is why we won the bid. Zhu Hongxiang replied.
So it's like this! Although Liu Weihe said so, he secretly said in his heart: Corrupt elements always have excuses!
Then I don't know what additional conditions the winning bidder provided? Liu Weihe asked together.
They provided an axial compressor. Zhu Hongxiang didn't hide it either.
Is this kind of machine expensive? Liu Weihe continued to ask.
Expensive is also a bit expensive. The main reason is that our country can't make it, so we have to import it from abroad. Moreover, in foreign countries, this kind of machine is not easy to buy. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!
I believe you ghost! You bully me for not knowing how to do it? Electric equipment is not an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb, so you can't buy it! Liu Weihe thought to himself.
Liu Weihe regards the axial flow compressor as electrical equipment. After all, Guodian Corporation is engaged in electrical power, and it must be electrical equipment to be imported.
And things like power equipment are not regulated in the whole world, even the most advanced UHV power transmission technology at that time, as long as you pay enough money, you can buy it.
Therefore, Zhu Hongxiang's explanation obviously did not satisfy Liu Weihe, so he said, Mr. Zhu, of course I believe you, but we still have to go and investigate on the spot. What do you think tomorrow morning?
Tomorrow morning? That's not acceptable! Zhu Hongxiang replied without hesitation.
Tomorrow is not a holiday, and it is not a weekend, so why not! Liu Weihe immediately asked.
Our company has an important event tomorrow. Otherwise, let's wait until the day after tomorrow! Zhu Hongxiang said.
What important event? Liu Weihe asked with some dissatisfaction.
Well, it's not convenient for me to disclose it. Anyway, it really won't work tomorrow.
Zhu Hongxiang didn't dare to tell Liu Weihe that the leader would come to inspect the work tomorrow.
After all, this kind of thing must be kept secret until it is published in the newspaper. Even if there is no way to keep it completely secret, it must be kept secret within a certain range. So don't disclose it to other people.
From Liu Weihe's point of view, he is a higher-level department at any rate, and the other party should attach great importance to investigating corruption. How can he just find an excuse to shirk?
What's more, this kind of evasion is likely to buy time and annihilate the evidence!
Thinking of this, Liu Weihe has already decided that he must go to Guodian Company tomorrow to check him out! Never let any corrupt elements go!
But on the surface, Liu Weihe remained calm, and he said, Well, since you have an event tomorrow, I'll go there the day after tomorrow.
Then thank you, Director Liu! Zhu Hongxiang thanked him, and hung up the phone without exchanging greetings. After all, he has to be busy making preparations for the reception now, so he doesn't have the heart to chat with Liu Weihe!
After putting down the phone, Liu Weihe smiled coldly: Hehe, there is an important event? Isn't it convenient to disclose it? I will make a surprise attack tomorrow, and then we will see how you lie!
Liu Weihe's car came to the intersection and stopped slowly.
Director Liu, the road ahead is blocked, is there a traffic accident? the driver said.
Liu Weihe looked up and saw several traffic police comrades on duty.
Is it really a big event? Why is the road blocked! Liu Weihe frowned, and then said, Just drive through.
The car drove over directly, and the comrades on duty looked at the license plate, and then at the pass sandwiched in the glass of the car, and then let it go.
The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is directly under the State Council, and the vehicles naturally carry high-level passes, so there is no problem entering and exiting various ministries and commissions.
Except for a few patrol cars and UV parked on the side of the road, there were no other vehicles on the road. Liu Wei and the car he was riding in quickly approached the Guodian Company, and when they reached the gate, they were stopped again.
A man in a suit came over, looked at the license plate, and then at the pass under the glass of the car, but he didn't let him go. Instead, he walked to the window and said, Comrade, please show your ID.
What's the situation? Can't our pass pass through this gate? Liu Weihe frowned slightly, but still handed over his work pass.
The other party looked at the photo on the work permit, then at Liu Weihe, and after confirming that it was him, he took out a walkie-talkie and said, Report, there is a car at the door, and the other party's certificate says state-owned assets Commission Liu Weihe.
Liu Weihe? The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission has such a comrade. It seems that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission heard the news of the inspection and sent someone over to take a look. Let him in! The man on the walkie-talkie said.
The other party returned the ID to Liu Weihe, and then said: Go up to the second floor, there is a large conference room, and everyone is there.
Large conference room? It seems that they are really engaged in activities! Liu Weihe nodded silently.
The car drove into the yard, Liu Weihe looked around subconsciously, and found that there were many men in suits looking around vigilantly.
This activity is quite impressive. Liu Weihe thought it was part of the activity.
After getting out of the car, he walked into the office building. At the door, his ID was checked again, and then he was released. At this time, no matter how stupid Liu Weihe was, he felt that something was wrong.
Someone took Liu Weihe up to the second floor and walked to the entrance room of the big meeting. At this time, Liu Weihe finally saw a familiar face.
Isn't this person Director Du in the leadership office? Why is he here? Liu Weihe suddenly felt uneasy.
Director Du also saw Liu Weihe, and he immediately said, Director Liu, you are here. Everyone is inside, go in quickly!
Liu Weihe walked into the conference room with a dazed expression on his face, and when he saw the person sitting in the middle, his legs went limp in fright.
What's the situation! Didn't you say that you're doing activities? Why is the leader here to inspect the work! Am I not supposed to come?
Liu Weihe came to carry out a surprise attack, but when he arrived at the place, he found out that he had been subjected to a surprise attack.
At this time, the chief engineer Xia Xuehai was reporting his work, and he kept praising the wind tunnel laboratory.
There is no other way to do this. The real scientific research progress of the wind power project is really nothing to brag about, so we can only make a big deal out of it. Fortunately, such a wind tunnel laboratory has been built, and it can hold up to the size of the picture.
Next to them, Secretary Wang, Zhu Hongxiang and others were smiling, but they were panicked inside. Without this wind tunnel laboratory, they would have nothing to report on their work highlights.
The leader nodded while listening, and asked a few questions from time to time. Although he didn't express his opinion, it could still be seen that he was very satisfied with Guodian's R\u0026D investment.
Just listen to Xia Xuehaihui's report: The driving core of the wind tunnel laboratory is a machine called an axial flow compressor. We also got one after a lot of trouble, and it is still old, but the performance is still very good. Do not delay using it.
The leader nodded: I can understand that it is not easy to get this kind of controlled high-end mechanical equipment, no matter whether it is new or old, you have worked hard.
A hard work is the greatest affirmation of work! When everyone heard these three words, they couldn't help but beam with joy.
In the corner, Liu Weihe also heard the conversation.
Axial flow compressor? Isn't it the kind of machine that Zhu Hongxiang talked about on the phone! Is it really a machine that you can't buy with money?
This axial flow compressor, the leader has already expressed his affirmation, so what else can we investigate?
That turtle grandson who came to report deliberately harmed me! When I go back, I'll have some good fruit for you! Liu Weihe's hometown dialect was soaring again in his heart.
No pop-up window, timely update!
