Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

"Military to civilian?"

Mr. Jiang thought carefully about Zhou Yang's words, but his eyes were full of memories, and there was a hint of suspicion.

The transition from military to civilian is nothing new. We have already started exploring this aspect in the 60s and [-]s.

At that time, high-level executives pointed out at the Supreme State Council: In terms of production, we must pay attention to the dual use of military and civilian use, pay attention to two sets of production technologies for military use and civilian use, and have two sets of production equipment, which are usually produced for civilian use. Once something happens, civilian production can be used. into military production.

In accordance with this spirit, the State Planning Commission also worked with the military production department to formulate the "Measures for Developing the Production Capacity of the National Defense Industry and Organizing the Production of Civilian Products in Peacetime".

Subsequently, the higher authorities further clearly put forward the policy of integrating military and civilians, integrating peacetime and wartime, and focusing on the military.

During this period, some military enterprises established production lines for civilian products and started the development of civilian products.

But the result was not satisfactory. After more than ten years of development, the conversion from military to civilian finally came to a standstill.

Therefore, when Mr. Jiang heard that Zhou Yang wanted to solve the problems he was facing by turning the army into civilians, he felt that the possibility was very slim.

"Comrade Zhou Yang, we've been doing military-to-civilian conversion for decades, but you know how effective it is. I don't think military-to-civilian conversion can't solve the immediate problem!"

Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "Mr. Jiang, I understand what you mean, but I don't think you should jump to conclusions on this matter for now."

"Whether military-to-civilian transformation can solve the current problems encountered by our military enterprises in the development, we must first figure out what the fundamental problems we are currently facing. Only by figuring this out can we prescribe the right medicine!"

Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "The biggest problem we face now is the lack of money. As long as we have money, all problems can be easily solved!"

"No, you haven't gotten to the point yet. The problem we are facing now is not as simple as lack of money!" Zhou Yang said.

"Oh, what's the problem then?" Elder Jiang asked curiously.

"On the surface, the problem we are facing now is the lack of research funds, but in fact, our military enterprises lack the ability to produce blood independently, and they all rely on the state to provide blood transfusions for maintenance. This is the essence and core of the problem!" Zhou Yang said.

Mr. Jiang's eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "That's right, our scientific research institutes and military industrial units really lack the ability to make blood independently. If every unit can be like your research institute, there will be no difficulties now. Already!"

"Yes, in the final analysis, if these military industrial units and scientific research institutes want to survive, they had better rely on themselves!" Zhou Yang said.

"This is easier said than done. You must know that most of our units survive by supplying equipment to the troops. Once the purchase amount of the troops decreases, they will face difficulties."

Then Mr. Jiang continued: "If you want to solve the funding problem by yourself, the difficulty is too great. As far as it is concerned, it is completely impossible..."

Before the words fell, Zhou Yang said lightly: "No matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as when we were poor and white when we founded the country?"

"When we faced the economic blockade of the entire West, we also had to face their strict technological blockade and the interference and sabotage of enemy agents in the country. Even so, our attitude was still firm, and we even proudly told those Western powers: Block it! Block it for ten or eight years, and we will have everything!"

"The result is exactly the same. In just 20 years, our technological level has developed by leaps and bounds. From "foreign nails", "matches", "foreign oil" to "foreign noodles"...everything has "foreign nails", "matches" and "foreign noodles". "In the barbaric era of science and technology, not only the first car, the first airplane, the first modern steel factory, and the first heavy machinery factory were produced by ourselves..."

"There are also "two bombs and one star" nuclear weapons, an independent and complete industrial system and national economic system have been established, and the nuclear monopoly and nuclear blackmail of superpowers have been broken. We did not talk about difficulties more than 20 years ago. We did it. I believe that now we It can still be done!"

Mr. Jiang said a little excitedly: "Well said, we could do it before, and we can do it now!"

Zhou Yang nodded and said: "The main reason why the military-to-civilian conversion failed was that the military industry enterprises themselves are under construction and development, and the management work cannot keep up with the development needs. The quality of military products needs to be improved urgently, and the development of civilian products has not achieved much."

"Coupled with some well-known reasons in the later stage, many military enterprises have difficulty in normal production and construction, and the policy of integrating military and civilians has not been well implemented. Therefore, it is not that the policy of converting military to civilians cannot solve the problem, but that we are in the process of implementation. It's just not done!"

"As long as the above-mentioned problems are avoided, the future of military-to-civilian transformation is still very good, not to mention how much profits are handed over to the higher authorities, but at least they can be self-sufficient."

Jiang Lao was silent for a while, and then said: "You kid is so confident?"

"Yes, the current situation is quite different from the previous few years. At this time, if the army is transferred to civilians, the effect may be very good!" Zhou Yang said.

"Oh, why is that?" Elder Jiang asked curiously.

"The key to military-to-civilian conversion is to make money. As long as they can make money, military industrial enterprises will get development funds. Then it is considered a success. But if you want to make money, you must consider products, technologies, and markets."

Then Zhou Yang continued: "Compared with more than ten years ago, our market is even bigger now, and military enterprises control a large amount of technology. As long as we can find the products that ordinary people need, we will definitely be able to make money!"

"It's not as light as your kid said..."

Before Mr. Jiang finished speaking, Zhou Yang said again: "Don't believe me, just a few days ago I went to Qingcheng to help Mr. Nie with a project, which is expected to solve their 400 million funding problem. gap!"

"Oh, and this thing?"

Then Mr. Jiang said again: "What kind of project did you guys set up for them, how can you make so much money?"

"ice cream!"

"Ice cream? Is it the ice cream we ate?"

"Yes, our project is to produce ice cream and sell it to the people in Qingcheng!" Zhou Yang said.

"This... Can this make money?"

"Yes, although the project has just started, the production capacity has not been increased yet, but even so, it can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. When the later production capacity comes up, it will definitely be a few million a year. !” Zhou Yang said confidently.

Hearing this, Jiang Lao fell silent.

After a while, he said again: "If you were asked to do this military-to-civilian conversion, what would you do?"

Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "If I were to do it, the first thing would be to decompose and reorganize the production factors of national defense, strive to realize the effective allocation of resources, and tap the potential of equipment, technology, and talents. Make each research department change from purely for Serving national defense construction is transformed into serving both national defense construction and national economic construction.”

"At the same time, inspect the market to determine what the people need, and then develop and produce products according to each unit to make profits!"

"Then what needs to be paid attention to?" Elder Jiang asked again.

Zhou Yang immediately said: "First of all, we need to change our minds. Don't let companies see military conversion as an expedient solution to immediate difficulties, but as a long-term major event that is related to the survival of the unit!"

"Secondly, we must pay attention to the fact that various units are casting a net in project selection, lacking foresight, and blindly following the trend. Don't focus on those products that are in short supply. They are all engaged in bicycles, refrigerators, electric fans, sewing machines and other products. The main thing to do is to look What are the technical advantages of each unit, do what you can!"

"Then we must pay attention to the quality of the products, and avoid those low-end high-end goods, which are high in cost and lack of competitiveness..."

Zhou Yang talked eloquently for more than half an hour.

When Zhou Yang explained his thoughts, Mr. Jiang listened carefully, and when he talked about the key points, he would take out his notebook and write for a while.

The two chatted with questions and answers for more than two hours before the conversation ended.

Even though he knew that Zhou Yang left, Elder Jiang didn't express his opinion.

But Zhou Yang could tell that this person really listened to his words, which made Zhou Yang faintly expect...
