"Next, let's talk about aircraft manufacturing."

Liang Huankui said that his mouth was dry, so he took a sip of water, and then continued: "At present, the only aircraft manufacturing plants in my country are Wuhan Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and there is also Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, a branch of Wuhan Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in Chongqing. Wuhan Aircraft Manufacturing The factory and the Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory are both affiliated to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and they developed on the basis of French technology in the early days. Because our country’s air force, the aircraft used in the early days were all French aircraft.”

"Later, my country and Germany began to cooperate, and our aircraft factory also began to introduce some German technologies. Now two-thirds of the aircraft used by our air force are imitated French aircraft and use French technology. The remaining three One-third is an imitation of German aircraft, using German technology."

Copycat.

This is something that a post-developing country must experience when it industrializes.Just like the United States is now the world's first industrial country, but when they developed in the early days, they also started from a copycat family in the United Kingdom.American products were looked down upon in Europe at the time.

including Germany.

Although Germany is now very strong in technology, its reputation in the world is far inferior to that of Britain.The synonym for German goods is the so-called counterfeit goods.Because Germany is a country that has risen later, it technically copied other countries such as Britain and France.

After the end of World War II, it was the Japanese products of the 70s and [-]s that were known as counterfeit products.A few decades later, it will be Chinese products that will be hailed as a big copycat country.

This is a rule.

No one can avoid the law.It is the road that the developing countries must take.In fact, it is also an advantage of later development, because the people in front have already gone through it, and the people behind can completely avoid mistakes.Because of this, the late-developing countries develop very fast, which is the advantage of latecomers.

But to put it bluntly, it depends on the result in the end.

If you end up mixing up the appearance of the United States, Germany, and Japan, then no one will say in the future how your products were despised by others and that your products are knockoffs.Because the quality of your products has improved, you will become a famous brand in the future.

So there is nothing to be ashamed of as a copycat.

It depends on whether you are motivated, from the imitation of the cottage at the beginning, to the innovation, and finally succeed.As long as this step is completed, then the imitation of the cottage in front of you will be rewarding.

China's aircraft manufacturing industry is like this.

Not only machinery and equipment are imported, technology is imported, even aircraft design drawings are bought.Aircraft introduced with French technology are made to look very similar to French aircraft.Because it is a fake French aircraft, the aircraft design drawings are all designed by French designers.If German technology is introduced, then the manufactured aircraft will look like German aircraft.

"But no matter what it is, Wuhan Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and its branch Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory have produced a lot of aircraft for the Chinese Air Force. The evaluation of the Air Force has not been low in recent years. It should be said that it is still a qualified aircraft manufacturer. factory."

China's aircraft factories are copycats.

But this factory has been open for more than ten years, and there are so many aircraft engineers who have returned from studying in China over the years, so many students who study aerodynamics and mechanical design.It's not for nothing that they have been in the aircraft factory for so many years.After being delivered to the Air Force for use, the Air Force will use, verify and give feedback, and the aircraft factory will carry out a new round of transformation.

Therefore, China has launched many types of aircraft and many types of aircraft in recent years.Overall, the Wuhan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant is still qualified so far.

"However, Prime Minister. At present, my country's civil aviation market is developing rapidly. Seventeen cities across the country have opened flight routes. There are already 11 civil airlines in the country, and the number of civil aircraft has reached 120. From the current situation, Look, my country's civil aviation market is developing steadily, and the number of aircraft needed in the national aviation market should exceed [-] in five years. Passenger transportation and cargo transportation are both developing very rapidly. Therefore, aircraft orders will also increase."

"Wuhan Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is an aircraft manufacturing factory affiliated to the Ministry of Military Affairs. It is already very difficult to cope with the orders of the Air Force and Navy, so it will build a branch factory and build a Chongqing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. If you add orders from civil airlines, it will be very difficult to cope with it. Big problem. In order to improve this situation, the Economic and Development Commission decided to import a complete set of equipment from the US aircraft factory to build a brand new aircraft factory. The Economic and Development Commission wants to put this aircraft factory under the name of the Ministry of Commerce and put the The aircraft factory is located in Xi'an."

The pen in Duan Xun's hand stopped.

He raised his head and asked, "Why did you choose Xi'an? In terms of industrial foundation, Sichuan, Hubei, Shanghai, Northeast China, even Shandong, and Zhili are far better than Xi'an. Even in terms of transportation, Xi'an is not as good as mine. These places are mentioned. From the perspective of education, there are few universities in Xi’an, and the scientific research foundation is insufficient.”

This is an aircraft factory.

It is a high-tech field, so you should find a better industrial foundation.But I didn't expect that the place chosen by the Economic and Development Commission was Xi'an.Xi'an is the central city of Northwest China, and plays an important role in the Northwest.But it's really not a good place to build an aircraft factory.At least compared to those cities Duan Xun mentioned, it is not a good place.

"Prime Minister, it is precisely because of this that the Economic and Development Commission decided to locate the aircraft manufacturing plant in Xi'an. The current situation in our country is that the coastal cities and cities along the Yangtze River are rich, and industries in Sichuan, Hubei, Northeast China, and Zhili are concentrated. The industries of the whole country are concentrated in these places. Compared with the Northwest, the industrial base is poor, the industrial strength is also poor, and even the education is also poor. If left unchecked, the Northwest will fall further and further behind, and the gap will widen. This is not conducive to the development of the Northwest, nor is it conducive to the stability of the country. Xi'an is an important town in the Northwest and a central city in the Northwest. If we put such a large-scale aircraft manufacturing plant in Xi'an, then Xi'an will inevitably need a large number of supporting factories and infrastructure. The facilities must also catch up. Only the development of Xi’an can drive the development of the surrounding area and prevent the Northwest from completely declining. Therefore, this time we plan to arrange several large projects in Xi’an.”

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

This idea is good.In fact, judging from the current situation, these large projects are located in places with a foundation, and the effect is the best.Either the Northeast, or Sichuan, or Hubei.

These provinces are the best.

But the Economic and Development Commission can think of balanced development, considering the current situation in Northwest China is not good, and the idea of ​​​​locating large projects in Xi'an is really good.From the perspective of economic effect, the transportation in the northwest region is inconvenient, the education situation is not good, and the technical foundation is not good.But precisely because of this, some support should be given to the northwest region.Only in this way can everyone be safe.

Regional differences are too large, which is not good for stability.

In particular, the Northwest has not been very stable since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. If the difference is too large, it will be even more unstable there.

"In addition to the aircraft factory, what other projects are planned to be located in Xi'an."

"Prime Minister, the Economic and Development Commission decided to establish a large-scale cable factory in Xi'an with an annual output of [-] tons. In recent years, China's power industry has developed rapidly, and the demand for cables is also great. At present, there are many cable factories in China, but they are all large-scale. Very small cable factories. Their small cable factories produce dozens of tons or even hundreds of tons of cables every year, which cannot meet the demand for cables in China. Therefore, taking this opportunity, they imported large-scale cable factory equipment and established a Large-scale cable factory. Solve the serious shortage of cable equipment in China. Moreover, the establishment of a cable factory in Xi'an can promote the development of copper mines in Baiyin, Gansu, and copper mines in Zhongtiaoshan. It will even promote the development of the copper smelting industry .”

"kindness."

Duan Xun appreciated the decision of the Economic and Development Commission.

In fact, there are many gaps in China's industry, and more needs to be solved.But the Chinese government only has more than 1000 tons of gold in its hands, and it is impossible to import everything.

So China has to plan well.

According to the current situation in China, make a targeted plan.What kind of equipment and technology to introduce is very necessary.Just to be used wisely, China must now develop the most important thing first.

The development of cable factories is the result of this.

At present, China's electric power industry is developing very fast, and the demand for cables is very high every year.The wires and cables alone need about [-] kilometers, and about [-] tons of cables.Not to mention that the demand for telephone lines is also increasing every year.

At present, China's self-produced cables cannot meet domestic needs at all, so China imports a large amount of cable equipment from Japan every year.

It is correct to set up a large cable factory now.Moreover, large-scale cable factories can greatly promote the development of the copper industry and the rubber industry.Of the cables with an annual output of [-] tons, about [-] tons are copper, and most of the rest are rubber.

"The third key project in Xi'an is to set up a large-scale mining machinery factory here. We plan to import this set of equipment from Germany, because we had negotiations with Germany in this regard in the early years. It is only to build a large-scale mining machinery factory, which costs There are too many funds, and we don't have enough technicians. Now the price of these machines and equipment has dropped sharply, and we have trained a large number of technicians over the years. Now is the right time to build such a factory. With such a mining machinery factory, Coupled with the experience and technology we have accumulated in the mining industry over the years, the strength of our country's mining industry will rise to a higher level."

Both are big investments.

Duan Xun didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.Xi'an is an important city in the northwest, but compared with other big cities at present, its development has been much slower.However, this time the Economic and Development Commission has invested in three major projects, which will greatly promote the development of Xi'an.

A large number of supporting factories will emerge around these large projects in Xi'an in a short period of time.

"The last key project determined by the Economic and Development Commission is to import the most advanced cement technology and cement production equipment. This time, the Economic and Development Commission decided to expand the four cities, and the amount of cement needed is astonishing. Future urban construction, the demand for cement There will be more and more. Including the special highway standard of the Ministry of Communications, a large amount of cement needs to be used when paving the road. At present, my country's cement industry as a whole is in a situation of poor technical strength and poor overall output. Therefore, importing large and advanced cement production equipment, It is very urgent to build a large-scale cement production plant. The Economic and Development Commission plans to set up this project in Shijiazhuang."

"Prime Minister, these are the 43 key projects to be completed in the second five-year plan of our country."

The second five-year plan, 43 large-scale projects.These 43 large projects include 6 hydroelectric power plant projects, 6 railway construction projects, 5 large-scale machine tool factory projects, 4 urban expansion projects, 4 pharmaceutical production company projects, and 3 chemical fertilizers with an annual output of more than 40 tons Factory projects, 3 independently designed and constructed coal plant projects, 2 agricultural machinery factory projects, 2 steel plant projects with an annual output of one million tons of crude steel, 2 independently designed and constructed thermal power plant projects, 1 cable factory project, 1 aircraft manufacturing plant project, 1 mining machinery project, 1 large cement plant project, 1 independently designed and constructed steel plant project with an annual output of 30 tons, and Daqing oilfield construction project.

"On the basis of 43 key projects, we also subdivided 192 supporting projects, which became the composition of the second five-year plan. We calculated that in order to complete these projects, importing machinery and equipment from abroad will cost 26 billion About [-] million U.S. dollars. Of course, this is our own calculation, and the specific situation needs to be contacted with the United States, Britain, and Germany to make some adjustments.”

"If we complete the second five-year plan, then our industry will really have a good foundation. Although there is still a gap compared with European and American countries, in terms of quantity, the overall industrial output of our country is very likely Not worse than Britain and France."

Stability, what Duan Xun likes to talk about most is stability.

Because Duan Xun has time, and some time to see the development of Chinese industry.So Duan Xun is not in a hurry, nor does he think that China can be on an equal footing with Europe and the United States in terms of industry in a short period of time.it's out of the question.

Even in the history of the Soviet Union, before World War II, its industrial output jumped to the second place in the world, second only to the United States.But they are far behind the European and American powers in terms of industrial technology and industrial management.World War II was able to reverse Germany, relying on the vast territory of the Soviet Union, a large population, and astonishing industrial output, Germany was defeated.

The same is true for China.
