Material Empire

"Ten thousand yuan, can you pay?" Qin Hai asked.

"Ten thousand yuan!" Ge Dongyan snorted, "Xiao Qin, I'm serious."

Qin Hai said seriously, "Xiao Ge, I'm also serious."

Ge Dongyan, known as Xiao Ge, stared at him: "Are you really kidding?"

"Of course not." Qin Hai said.

Ge Dongyan looked seriously at the expression on Qin Hai's face, and he couldn't see any hint of ridicule from it. He couldn't help but put the engineering shovel back on the table, and asked seriously: "What do you mean? You should know, this A shovel is not worth so much money. Are you kidding me that you have no intention of selling this shovel at all?"

"Of course a shovel is not worth so much money." Qin Haidao, "What if there are 100 shovels?"

"What do I want 100 for?" Ge Dongyan asked in astonishment.

Qin Haidao: "You just said that you have a company commander and a combat staff officer. There are dozens of soldiers in your platoon, and hundreds of soldiers in your company. Don't they need 100 of these engineering shovels?"

Ge Dongyan was silent. He tapped the table with his fingers and began to think about it. This kind of shovel is indeed tailor-made for the army. If every soldier has such a shovel in his backpack, it will bring a lot of convenience during field training. However, this is non-standard equipment after all, can the head of the army promise to equip everyone with one?

Qin Haidao: "Platoon Leader Ge, I don't want to inquire about any military secrets, but according to my observation, you are not a platoon leader in an ordinary army, and your army should be responsible for some special tasks. This kind of equipment is expensive, but it is not the same as Compared with the tasks you undertake, it is very cheap.

We brothers racked our brains to design such an engineering shovel, not to make a toy for you, Platoon Commander Ge. You know, it took us a lot of effort just to open the mold of this shovel. We are all patriotic youths, and we hope to do what we can for our soldiers. This is the reason why our platoon commander Ge came here for an interview. "

"You said I'm not in an ordinary army, so what army am I in, and what did you base your guess on?" Ge Dongyan stared at Qin Hai intently, but his heart was churning.

Ge Dongyan is indeed not a platoon leader in an ordinary army. The army he serves is a special service company directly under the Anhe Provincial Military Region, and it is indeed a team that undertakes some special tasks. In the mid-1980s, by summarizing the experience and lessons of self-defense counterattack operations in southern Xinjiang, all military regions were forming their own special forces, and Ge Dongyan's special service company was also included in the reorganized special forces.

As for how the special forces should be built, the head of the military region had no idea, but first transferred some soldiers with good military qualities from various units to establish the organizational system. Issues involving combat methods, training methods, and equipment are still in the groping stage due to lack of experience for reference.

Ge Dongyan has never disclosed to his family about his service and the situation of the army, so Man Gu, his cousin, does not know these details. Ge Dongyan thought to himself that he didn't say anything wrong just now, so how did Qin Hai guess his identity?

In fact, Qin Hai only had doubts about Ge Dongyan's identity, not an accurate guess. The most suspicious thing for Qin Hai was Ge Dongyan's self-made dagger. According to the army's regulations, it is impossible for soldiers to find someone to make weapons by themselves. Only officers and soldiers of certain special forces can have this privilege. In addition, Ge Dongyan tried the knife at Zhang Laosan just now, and the chopping action was quite methodical and powerful, obviously like a master. If he is really a platoon leader in an ordinary army, then the combat effectiveness of our army is too terrifying.

For Ge Dongyan's pressing questions, Qin Hai just smiled and said nothing. Some things are not mysterious when they are told, but keeping some sense of mystery is quite good for dealing with Ge Dongyan.

"I see, you are deceiving me." Ge Dongyan didn't scare Qin Hai, so he had to find a way for himself angrily. He said: "A troop is a troop, there is nothing unusual or unusual. But, you say That's right, such a good engineer shovel can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our troops. It should be suggested to the army leaders to introduce this kind of engineer shovel and equip our company.

However, Xiao Qin, you should know that our country is now shifting its focus to economic construction, and the army's funds are very tight. It may be difficult for the troops to pay 10,000 yuan to purchase 100 engineering shovels. "

When Qin Hai was talking to Ge Dongyan, Ning Mo and the others sat aside as if they were watching a big show, their emotions fluctuated, and the three fragile hearts were trampled to blood by tens of thousands of alpacas running past.

Nima, Qin Hai really dared to play, and actually talked about business with the army. He said that Ge Dongyan was not in an ordinary army. Judging by the expression on Ge Dongyan's face, it seemed that Qin Hai had hit the nail on the head. How did Qin Hai know such a military secret? Why do we see Ge Dongyan's appearance no different from ordinary stupid soldiers?

10,000 yuan and 100 engineering shovels, if Ge Dongyan really agrees, how much steel shavings will be enough to sweep the machine tool? The entire Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory can't produce so much alloy steel scrap in a year, right? How does Qin Hai plan to make these engineering shovels?

Looking back, the shovel manufactured now is considered to be the money for mold making, machining money, electric furnace electricity bill, etc., and the cost will not exceed 20 yuan. If one is sold for 100 yuan, the profit will be 80 yuan. 100 is 8,000 yuan... Oh my god, 8,000 yuan! It's worth 10 or 20 of us... Anyway, it's the sum of many months' wages...

"Xiaoge, I know you can't make the decision on this matter. Take the things back and ask the head of the army for instructions. If the head wants to cooperate with us, you can come to Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory to find us." My name is Qin Hai, and his name is Ning Mo. I really can’t remember the name, so go to Qingfeng Factory and ask the fat man, everyone knows.” Qin Hai laughed and let Ning Mo get another shot.

"You mean, I can take this engineer shovel away?" Ge Dongyan asked Qin Hai in a dazed state as he made Qin Hai feel a little confused.

Qin Hai turned his head to look at Ning Mo and the others, and the three friends expressed their support for him with fiery eyes. He smiled and said to Ge Dongyan: "It stands to reason that the dagger just now and the engineer shovel now are both samples, so it's okay for you to take them directly. However, we are all poor workers. In order to make these things, we owe a lot of money." I owe a lot of debts, so I asked Plato Leader Ge to pay for the cost or something."

"That's no problem." Ge Dongyan was very straightforward about taking out money. He took out a lot of money from his pocket and counted them. At the end of the count, he said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry." , I came back to visit relatives this time, and left all the money at home, and now I only have 135 yuan in my pocket... Otherwise, I will ask my cousin to borrow some more."

His calculation is based on Qin Hai's previous quotation. Qin Hai said that a dagger costs 50 yuan, and a shovel costs 100 yuan. The sum should be 150 yuan. When he came to see Qin Hai this time, he originally planned to pay 100 yuan if the dagger provided by the other party was really good, but now that it suddenly became a purchase of two things, the money he brought was a bit stretched.

Qin Hai waved his hand and said, "As I said, we only charge the cost of these two items, and you can pay 100 yuan. However, this price is not the price of future cooperation. You must remember this clearly. oh."

"The matter of cooperation... I don't dare to guarantee it, so I'd better pay 150 for these two things." Ge Dongyan said.

Qin Haidao: "Buying and selling is not human. Regardless of whether the head of the army is willing to cooperate with us in the end, I will only charge you 100 yuan for these two things. If Platoon Leader Ge doesn't dislike it, everyone can make friends .”

"Then there's nothing else to say, we are all friends." Ge Dongyan said happily.

"The food and wine are here!"

Zhang Laosan and Mangu came back from the back kitchen, each with two dishes in their hands, and Mangu hooked a big plastic jug of wine with one finger.

Ge Dongyan took the jug from Mangu, unscrewed the lid, filled the first glass for Qin Hai, and then poured wine for Ning Mo and others respectively. Qin Hai only smiled back at Ge Dongyan's hospitality, while Ning Mo and the others were flattered and panicked. Of course they also knew that Ge Dongyan was so polite to them because of Qin Hai's face.

Ge Dongyan poured wine for Zhang Laosan, Mangu, and himself, then raised the wine glass, and said, "Come, come, to thank Master Xiao Qin and these masters for making such good steel, and produced a steel for our army." With such good equipment, everyone made this cup.”

Qin Hai also stood up, raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our military-civilian cooperation!"

"Okay, cheers!" The crowd shouted in unison.
