The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 330 Exit
“Our database is used by the military and now needs to be piloted. Because the military also lacks technical personnel, I suggested that part of it be placed in Beijing and part in Wuchang.”

Lei Jun hurriedly asked, "Then, Master, is there anything I can do?"

“You can do quite a lot,” Liu Hua said with a smile. “The higher-ups said they’ll give you a temporary technical consultant title in Wuchang. You’ll be helping them fix bugs in their computer programs and training their technical staff. Of course, you’ll get paid for it.”

Lei Jun left satisfied with his documents. The subsidies Liu Hua had given him over the past two months alone amounted to over a thousand yuan, and he would also receive a monthly salary upon returning home.

This was enough to cover his living expenses for several years of university. It should be noted that since 1983, students from ordinary families have no longer received student grants, and the monthly living expenses of university students are a considerable burden for a family.

A few days later, the district sent Liu Hua a document stating that Taiyi Heavy Industry and Taiyi New Materials Company would enjoy the policy of "three years of tax exemption and two years of tax reduction at half price". In this era, only foreign-funded or joint venture enterprises can enjoy this policy.

The reason Liu Hua's company was able to obtain this qualification is undoubtedly because he has recently made too many contributions.

These achievements cannot be publicized, as it would attract unwanted attention. Therefore, we can only secretly provide him with favorable policies and benefits.

In addition, the city also provided a policy that gave Liu Hua a large plot of land, about half the size of the steel rolling mill, free of charge.

Liu Hua has not yet made the payment, and the city has said that it will be reserved for him. Whenever Liu Hua wants to expand production, he can bring it up with the city.

Liu Hua was so embarrassed by the good policy that he took the initiative to make an agreement with the municipal government to retain it for ten years. If it was not fulfilled after ten years, it could be voided.

In fact, Liu Hua had already made a decision that he would definitely realize the value of this land after 1992, because by then there would be a clear conclusion on the private economy, and he could proceed with confidence and boldness.

The reason I'm saying this is simply to leave a good impression.

The city government officials also felt that Liu Hua was kind. He was essentially giving him a piece of land for free, and all he asked was to keep it for ten years. Although they didn't know what the land price would be after ten years, it was still a large sum of money.

Taiyi New Materials is now thriving, with large sums of money coming in every day. Previously, the district could collect taxes, and although a large portion of it had to be handed over, they could still keep a considerable amount for themselves.

This time, the government provided three exemptions and two reductions by half, leaving the district with no money. I wonder if they'll cause any trouble.

Even if they cause trouble, Liu Hua is not afraid. Although production has been expanded, it is still mainly supplying domestic demand. The clients are all the big shots there. If anyone in the FS area dares to cause trouble, someone will probably teach them a lesson.

Now Liu Hua can begin preparing for the export of his carbon fiber. The factory's production has basically met the requirements, and two more production lines are under construction. Once completed, the output will be sufficient for export.

But now another problem has arisen: how can we export it?

Internationally, Toray Chemical is now the only recognized company. The quality of products made in China has always been considered superior – this is a stubborn prejudice, and it persists even 40 or 50 years later.

Of course, this includes functions from the BBC and NBC.

Currently, the main manufacturers of carbon fiber are Japan, the United States, and the United States. Although European countries are also involved, their production volume is very small and their technology is relatively backward. Liu Hua pondered for a moment and realized that selling carbon fiber to Japan, the United States, or the United States was out of the question. However, Liu Hua immediately thought of three countries: Germany, Italy, and France.

These three countries are relatively backward in this field and in this era, so there should be a market for selling carbon fiber to them.

Liu Hua was pondering how to sell carbon fiber when he suddenly thought of the Y-10 transport aircraft. The Y-10's engine was developed in cooperation with Rolls-Royce, which has led to cooperation between China's civil aviation industry and Airbus in recent years.

Contact the aviation authorities to reach Airbus. Airbus's aircraft production requires carbon fiber, and the US and Japan will definitely sell carbon fiber to them at high prices, treating them like韭菜 (leeks) to be harvested.

Let's get started. Although there's no production yet, that doesn't mean we can't negotiate first. If we wait until the product is produced before negotiating, we'll probably be at a disadvantage.

Liu Hua contacted the aviation department, and they were very willing to help him promote carbon fiber.

Because of its business in China, Airbus also set up a subsidiary in the country. After the aviation department contacted them, they heard that there was high-strength carbon fiber. The people in the shell company were both happy and skeptical.

The good news is that Airbus's carbon fiber procurement volume has always been insufficient, and the carbon fiber sold to them by Japan and the United States has also been sold at a higher price.

The US has always treated Europe like its own blood bank, ruthlessly draining it. Plus, Boeing and Airbus are competitors, so how could the US possibly allow Airbus to lower its costs?

Japan has no pricing power; it has to listen to the US to decide how much to sell. So when they heard that China had carbon fiber, which is completely outside the US pricing system, they knew without asking that it would be much cheaper.

However, he also expressed doubts. He had never heard of carbon fiber from China before, and he also doubted whether China's current scientific research capabilities were sufficient to develop carbon fiber.

However, in order to reduce costs, they still reported the news to headquarters. Although headquarters also had doubts, they could not let go of any possibility and still asked the subsidiary to make contact.

The head of the subsidiary was a Han Chinese, and he was quite meticulous. It was precisely because of his meticulousness that he insisted on reporting to his superiors.

For this meeting with Taiyi New Materials, he decided to take personal charge. Since Airbus's subsidiary is in Shanghai, he personally flew to Beijing.

Liu Hua sent someone and a car to pick him up from the airport. By the time they arrived at the gate of Taiyi New Materials Factory, Strauen was already half-hearted.

Given the rudimentary nature of the factory, he couldn't imagine how high-tech carbon fiber could possibly be produced. His decision not to make the driver turn back to the airport was already a testament to his good manners.

Liu Hua noticed a hint of melancholy in the eyes of this stern-faced man, and stepped forward with a smile to shake his hand: "Mr. Schmidt, are you disappointed?"

"A little bit indeed."

Liu Hua laughed heartily: "You Hans are just so straightforward. Don't worry, although our factory buildings outside are very simple, our production workshops are not bad, and our technology and products are reliable."
