Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Yellow Building, cafeteria.

"President Qin, you really know how to pick your moments. The cafeteria can only give us special treatment," Leader Li said with a smile.

"Leader Li, I, Qin Yang, am helping your navy, and I haven't even had a meal yet," Qin Yang said. "Coming here, my stomach is growling with hunger. What's wrong? Can't I report on the work while eating?"

"Of course not, you've made a great contribution," Leader Zhang said. "You can come to our cafeteria for every meal. Little Nie, eat more too."

After leaving the French, Qin Yang brought Nie Xiaoqian to the Yellow Building. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Since Qin Yang hadn't eaten, they had to treat him! And with special attention.

Leader Zhang looked at Nie Xiaoqian with a kind expression in his eyes.

"Okay." Nie Xiaoqian nodded and continued eating.

"President Qin, now we can get a set of Sea Crotale missile systems, but how should we proceed with the next act?" Leader Li asked.

"What else is there to say? Of course, we need to modify one of our 051 destroyers," Qin Yang said. "This missile is relatively small, so there's no need to make any changes. We can just stick the missile on the back and test it first."

Qin Yang was really hungry. He poured half a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes into his bowl, eating with loud slurps, not elegant at all.

After wolfing down a bowl, he gulped down several mouthfuls of water before continuing, "The French have provided us with the Sea Crotale missile system, which we can use to negotiate with the British, demanding that they also provide a set of Sea Dart missiles for free testing. Although the missile is outdated, the electronic equipment on it is still worth learning from."

Asking for a purchase and having them bid here are very different. After Qin Yang's efforts, he finally made the British and French arms suppliers compete, and now there's a good show to watch.

But all of this is based on the huge pie of thirty weapons orders! The navy never thought of buying so many, just getting one or two sets and then copying them.

"President Qin, you promised the French thirty sets of modification contracts, thirty billion!" Obviously, Leader Li was worried about this.

"Yes, I promised, but I'm just from Fangbei Industrial Corporation, only responsible for land weapons, not sea weapons. Does my promise count?" Qin Yang said irresponsibly, "For that six million US dollar kickback, I've already tried my best, but in the end, your naval leaders didn't agree, so what can I do?"

"But this is detrimental to your Fangbei Industrial Corporation! How will you do business with foreigners in the future?" In international business, reputation is the most important thing.

"Yes, thank you both for considering me. In that case, I have an even bolder idea…"

The plan that Qin Yang arranged with the naval leaders last time was to provoke competition between British and French suppliers, and then lure these people with huge orders. Now, this step has been achieved.

Next, of course, is to reverse engineer the French goods and integrate them into our own Hongqi-7 missile project. It would be even better if the British also provided a set for free testing. However, how to handle the subsequent orders for thirty sets of systems was not addressed.

This time, Qin Yang explained the next arrangements. Everyone present widened their eyes, and Nie Xiaoqian was also stunned. This Qin Yang is too amazing! But is it okay to trick the French like this?

In front of the French, Qin Yang appeared very greedy. In fact, this was all done for the French to see, to make the French completely believe that Qin Yang would do his best to help them for the sake of that six million US dollars.

After all, no one can resist money.

"There are some risks, but as long as we prepare well, it's still controllable," Leader Li said after weighing it. "I think we can do it! One hundred million US dollars a set, they're clearly trying to rip us off. Since they're not kind, we can't blame us for being unjust!"

The big killer sold to Saudi Arabia is only one hundred million US dollars each. Is this small Sea Crotale missile system worth so much money?

With such a reason, they can finally justify themselves.

"Well, this project will definitely have to be carried out after the New Year. Contact me then. Leaders, please let me go and let me have a good New Year," Qin Yang said, stroking his stomach after finishing his second bowl of rice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Leader Li's secretary ran over: "Report, there's a call from Huaishuling, asking President Qin to come over!"

Huaishuling? Qin Yang waved his hand: "Just say I'm not here."

"Ah? We've already prepared the car and can send President Qin over at any time."

"Alas, I'm so young, yet I have to worry about so many things! Forget it, since I've already agreed, then I'll go." Qin Yang glanced at Nie Xiaoqian helplessly: "Xiaoqian, go back when you're done eating. I'll probably be in Huaishuling for the next few days."

It's his first Spring Festival in this world! Qin Yang wanted to experience the Spring Festival of the 1980s more, but who would have thought that instead of having time to talk about life and ideals with his future wife, he would be busy everywhere.

Huaishuling is so eager to call him over, the T-72 tank must have been brought over.

The parts of this tank were shipped in batches. The first to arrive was the automatic loader, which fell into Qin Yang's hands to be copied. This project hasn't been arranged yet!

Judging by the time, the other parts should be here by now. Could it be that those people can't assemble the entire tank and there are some technical problems, wanting to ask him to help assemble Lego?

With this guess, Qin Yang came to Huaishuling. The car drove directly into the compound, and he saw a large group of people in the workshop where the automatic loader had been placed.

There were technicians and military leaders, surrounding an iron lump, discussing it with great interest.

Old Zhu was standing on the turret, explaining something to some leaders. When he accidentally turned his head and saw Qin Yang, he was very excited and immediately waved to him. Unfortunately, this action made him lose his balance. His body swayed a few times, and he was about to fall when someone next to him grabbed him.

"Old Zhu, don't be so excited, you scared me," Qin Yang said as he walked through the crowd to Old Zhu's side.

"Of course not," Old Huang said. "Now that we have a prototype, and the path ahead is clear, there's a fierce debate within the system about whether we should take the Western path or the old Maoist path."

"You want to solicit my opinion?" Qin Yang pointed to the T-72: "Since I brought this tank here, my position is obvious. There's nothing to say, copy it!"
