"You know, raising them..." Uncle Zheng pointed at Chen Shanhe, "is really expensive."
The other branches of the military are better off, but Chen Shanhe and his Air Force colleagues spend more money on food, clothing and other expenses than other branches of the military.
Like the army, if the car breaks down, they can just repair it and continue running.
Even if a naval ship breaks down, it can be repaired.
The only exception is airplanes. Once an accident happens, the plane will be destroyed and everyone on board will die.
R&D funds are almost like burning paper money, disappearing quickly.
Being responsible for their own profits and losses is really difficult for these rough guys who only know how to fight.
The more Uncle Zheng spoke, the more disgusted he became. "They all eat more and make more, but they are still rough people who don't know how to make money."
Ever since he learned that he had to be responsible for his own profits and losses, his hair has turned white with worry.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
Jiang Shiyue smiled and nodded in agreement: "It is indeed a bit expensive."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
As a young man in his thirties, he believed that he could support his family.
However, since the two people who criticized him were his boss at work and his family leader, he had no choice but to endure it.
Jiang Shiyue filled Uncle Zheng's glass with wine. "Uncle Zheng, I will definitely do my best. However, I need some time to think about the best way to do it. So, can we just have dinner today? Give me two days, and I'll give you a complete plan in two days."
***
Jiang Shiyue asked Chen Shanhe to draw a military district map for her.
Of course, it's not a confidential map involving military deployment.
What Jiang Shiyue wanted was a position in the city or urban government compound.
She needed to know how many walls of these compounds were along the street and what the local consumption and economic levels were.
As the saying goes, the subordinates will run around for a long time if the leader says one word.
Chen Shanhe made one phone call after another to get the data that Jiang Shiyue needed.
On the third day, Jiang Shiyue brought a thick plan to Commander Zheng's office.
Explain each one to him.
First, there is no cost to make a profit.
According to Jiang Shiyue's experience of living in the compound in recent years, many government agencies are located in the city.
Or they were originally in the suburbs but were brought into the urban area due to economic development.
These places can be fenced off and holes can be made in the walls to rent out shops and collect rent.
For example, if the military hospital in Yincheng converted the wall along the street into shops along the street, it would collect a lot of rent every year.
Second, no money is required for the effort.
The college entrance examination has been resumed for seven or eight years, and those who originally studied agriculture and military service have gradually stopped studying.
Jiang Shiyue suggested that military training could be organized in cooperation with universities.
Every year at the beginning of the school year, we send some soldiers to lead military training, which can also increase our income a little.
Of course, this kind of money earned once a year can only improve life.
Third, become a military-industrial enterprise.
When people hear about military-industrial enterprises, their first reaction is that they produce military supplies.
For example, military supplies or military equipment.
However, reform was a very special period, although it did not last long, only a few years.
Jiang Shiyue didn't quite remember the exact time, but he knew that the reform was stopped after a few years and the taxation of the army was restored.
Soldiers are allowed to engage in business again.
No matter what, special times require special treatment.
Jiang Shiyue’s suggestion was to work in military engineering.
First, we are currently undergoing a massive military reduction of one million, and engineering jobs often require a lot of hardworking and sturdy laborers, a quality most soldiers possess.
Second, engineering investment costs are high, but the returns are also quick.
Whether it is building a road or building a house, it is generally done according to the project.
One settlement per project.
For example, if there is a reform today, you can take on projects tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow they say the reform is over and you are no longer allowed to do business, so you will immediately pack up as soon as the project you are working on is completed.
However, opening other factories requires upfront investment and opening up sales channels. It would be a bit troublesome to stop the business when sales are getting better and better.
Third, Jiang Shiyue’s group has many qualifications, so they can cooperate together in the early stage and then separate in the later stage.
He even figured out what to do with Jiang Shiyue.
First, advertise and find a soldier to record a brainwashing video and broadcast it nationwide.
In one sentence: military quality, trustworthy.
When bidding, military-grade quality is the best stepping stone.
After Zheng Shuzai carefully read it, he only said to Chen Shanhe: "You married a good wife!"
A little fox.
Jiang Shiyue was just about to say something when her cell phone rang.
In 1985, Jiang Shiyue could only make a mobile phone with a blue screen, probably because PHS was popular in his previous life.
He was the customer who insisted on using a fighter jet to pay off his debts.
The other party spoke English, and Chen Shanhe could understand part of it.
Uncle Zheng could only understand a few words.
These are still the most important words.
He looked at Chen Shanhe in surprise.
Chen Shanhe approached Uncle Zheng and explained in a low voice, "Jiang Shiyue's business has spread all over the north. Instant food, such as canned goods, is selling particularly well in the north. It was doing well the past two years, but this year the customer is a bit cash-strapped and hasn't paid for three consecutive shipments on time. Jiang Shiyue refused to ship any more, and the other party, anxiously, said he'd pay off the debt with a fighter jet.
You also know that in our country, ordinary people are not allowed to touch this, so Shiyue has always disagreed. "
As the leader of an army, Uncle Zheng reacted quickly and gave the order directly: "Make her agree."
Chen Shanhe was stunned for a moment, but he habitually obeyed his boss's orders first. He stood up and walked to the window, patted Jiang Shiyue, and signaled her to agree.
Jiang Shiyue was obviously surprised, but as an ordinary citizen, she did not have the courage to enforce orders like Chen Shanhe. She just told the other party that she needed to think about it and would call back in ten minutes.
After hanging up the phone, I asked Uncle Zheng directly: "Why?"
Such a decision was definitely not made by Chen Shanhe.
