Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 973 Military to Civilian Transformation

When Xiujuan heard Chen Changan's words, her eyes immediately lit up.

During this period in Hong Kong Island, many people were playing cards in the streets and alleys. If a movie about playing cards was made, it would definitely be great.

As for martial arts movies, of course they are good, but those martial arts novels are all long stories.

If these stories are compressed into more than an hour, many of the plots may not be told clearly, and they are more suitable for TV dramas.

Of course, filming TV series is also good, but there is also a chain of contempt in the film and television industry.

Even if you make a hit movie, you will still be looked down upon by award-winning directors.

Those who can win foreign awards look down on those who win domestic awards, those who can win awards look down on those who only make commercial films, and film directors look down on TV directors, and TV directors look down on short film directors.

Xiujuan has made achievements in both commercial films and award-winning films. She does not look down on anyone and of course gives priority to those who can make movies.

"Let's bet on the series. Brother, can you tell me how to shoot these movies?"

Chen Changan smiled and said, "'God of Gamblers', 'The Saint of Gamblers', 'The King of Gamblers', 'The God of Gamblers', do you think that once these movie titles are released, coupled with some cool special effects, will they attract the public's attention?

As for the plot, it could be because of love, or because a friend was cheated, anyway, there are various situations.

In the end, he defeated the villain by relying on his excellent gambling skills, or a battle of wits and courage.

Such a movie can be made into a romance film or a comedy film.

It can show brotherhood, family love, and all kinds of other types can be filmed.

It is also down-to-earth for Hong Kong audiences, as he even played the same cards in the movie's protagonist's hands.

Although this kind of movie has its limitations and is unlikely to become as popular as Shaolin Temple, it won’t be too bad. ”

Chen Changan doesn't know much about the content of the movie, but Xiujuan is a professional.

Chen Changan's words were not very clear, and most people might not understand them, but Xiujuan immediately understood what Chen Changan meant. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this gambling series was good.

"Brother, you are awesome. I think I won't have to worry about not having movies to shoot in the next few years."

When Zhu Ling came back with the child, Xiujuan and Zhu Ling went to the kitchen to work together.

After going to work the next day, Chen Changan was sitting in the office and drinking a few sips of tea when he received a call from Uncle Nie.

Chen Changan drove directly to the department. This time, Uncle Nie was not in a hurry. He slowly poured tea for Chen Changan and then told him the reason why he called Chen Changan this time.

"As you know, our army has been undergoing a massive reduction in personnel in recent years. Millions of soldiers have been demobilized and returned home.

The ensuing impact not only affected the military, but also many businesses.

With the sudden addition of millions of soldiers, the original military-industrial enterprises were left with no work to do.

The superiors also took into account the difficulties of these military-industrial enterprises and allowed them to convert from military to civilian use.

From the original production of military products, it has changed to the production of civilian products.

However, judging from the situation over the past two years, the results are not very ideal.

After so many years of planned economy, if they were asked to produce civilian products themselves, they could not even compete with some small private factories.

As you know, I used to be a member of the military industry, and I took the lead in many military scientific research projects.

Today, many of the old supporters in the past have seen that the factory is about to go out of business, and the once bustling family compound has gradually become deserted.

I used to be a skilled worker, but now I have fallen to the point of growing vegetables in the factory area. I feel bad about it.

I called you here this time to hear your opinion on whether there is any way to revitalize these factories."

Uncle Nie’s words left Chen Changan silent.

With the reform and opening up, the country began to focus on economic development.

The huge number of troops made the already limited funds even more stretched.

The result of the million-man military reduction is that a large number of military-industrial enterprises have become out of work.

This is not just one or two military factories. Chen Changan can just hand over some parts from the automobile factory to the other party.

These military factories have the technical level, but what is difficult to change is the mindset.

After so many years of the planned economic system, they have long been accustomed to producing whatever their superiors tell them to produce.

There is no problem with the workers and technicians, but if you ask them to design and produce civilian products themselves, they have no idea what they can produce.

Seeing that fans seemed to be quite profitable on the market, everyone rushed to produce fans.

The quality and materials are impeccable, the workmanship is very solid, and a fan can be used for ten or eight years without any problem.

But electric fans don't have much technical content. In the eyes of old military workers, appearance is not important. As long as it can be used, it is a good thing.

With the emergence of a series of exquisite and versatile fans, fans that were ugly in appearance and heavy due to solid materials immediately lost their market.

Not every family is willing to buy fans. Besides, if a fan is used for ten years, who can you sell it to afterwards?

It is not easy to convert military to civilian use without economic acumen and core technology of one's own.

“Uncle Nie, this is not something that can change the current situation of the military factory by just coming up with an idea.

The production conditions, scale and capabilities of each military factory are different.

You need to adapt to local conditions and use your brain to find solutions. I can’t teach every factory step by step, right?”

Uncle Nie also sighed. He knew the difficulty of this matter. It was indeed difficult for Chen Changan to find a solution.

But we have been friends for many years. As an old leader, I can’t just ignore it when people come here for help, right?

Uncle Nie also sighed, and at this time the door of Uncle Nie's office was pushed open.

Three old men walked in. Although they looked a little depressed, their backs were straight and it was obvious that they were military men.

"Old leader, forget it. We can't make things difficult for you. Besides, he's just a young man, what good ideas can he have?

At most, they can just hand over some parts of the car factory to us, but our three factories have tens of thousands of people in total. Even if they hand over the entire production plan of the car factory to us, it will not be enough. "

"Shut up, you've only been in City 49 for a few days, you know nothing."

Uncle Nie slammed the table on the spot, stood up and pointed at Chen Changan angrily.

"Do you know who he is? He was the one who built the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory.

You don't seem to want to revitalize the factory? If Director Chen is really willing to help you, he can get you out of your current predicament with just one word.

If you keep talking nonsense to me, you will all go back and I can’t help you.”

After being yelled at by Uncle Nie, the three men immediately became obedient. They stood aside with their heads down and said nothing.

It was at this time that Uncle Nie began to introduce Chen Changan.
