Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Qin Yang's reputation in the military-industrial system was too great. The originally aggressive group of people deflated as soon as he appeared. But now, watching Qin Yang and Director Ni about to leave, Guo Liming's eyes darted around, and then he gritted his teeth and shouted, "No, you can't leave. Director Ni must explain things clearly today!"

"That's right!"

"President Qin, you are the boss of Fangbei Industrial Company. Everyone welcomes you to our factory. However, the X150 engine project concerns our factory's reputation, so please bear with us."

"Reputation? What reputation do you have now? The entire system knows that you employees are rebelling against the director! Do you want to go back to the past?"

Sweat immediately broke out on Guo Liming's forehead. Of course, he knew what this meant. If they were to investigate, ordinary people might be fine, but he, as the ringleader, would probably end up in jail!

"President Qin, that's not the case. The X150 project we developed ourselves is our hard work. Director Ni actually supported the 150HB project at the meeting in the capital. We couldn't stand it!"

"Couldn't stand it? You're angry, so you can make trouble for the director? You're angry, so you can do whatever you want? It's working hours now. You're gathering here. Do you still want to work? Do you still want your jobs? After I go back, I will report everything I saw here to the higher-ups. Don't lower your heads, let me see your faces clearly!"

In this era, even though many factories were shouting slogans of reform, they were still all talk and no action. The first factory to go bankrupt didn't appear until 1989. Before that, entering a factory was like having an iron rice bowl. A worker's status was very popular for finding a wife. Being fired from the factory was a lifelong disgrace.

Now, even if they were held responsible for skipping work, it would be enough for them to suffer.

Director Ni didn't show his power, so they became more and more fierce, really thinking that they were right and could do whatever they wanted. Now, Qin Yang's words made them realize their insignificance.

"We are for the benefit of the factory! We eat from the factory, we wear from the factory, we have to think about the factory!" Guo Liming's mind was still quick, and he immediately thought of a new argument.

"For the benefit of the factory? What benefit?" Qin Yang glanced at Guo Liming, "According to the plan, the engine development is being done jointly by your 616 Factory and the Engine Research Institute. In the future, it will be produced in your 616 Factory, whether it's the X150 or the 150HB. It's all yours. What benefits of yours have been infringed upon? Could it be that you want to eat the Engine Research Institute's research funding as well?"

This was saying that they were selfish and wanted to embezzle research funds.

Guo Liming was even more dumbfounded.

This President Qin was too powerful. They couldn't beat him in a fight, and they couldn't win an argument.

"Guo Liming, all of this in the factory was planned by you behind the scenes, right? Tell me, what are you scheming? Are you trying to make it easier to embezzle funds?"

Director Ni brought Guo Liming to the meeting. Guo Liming left midway and then mobilized everyone to make trouble for the director. He was the culprit! Now, Qin Yang directly pointed out that he was selfish, and everyone became suspicious.

Could it be that Guo Liming was really seeking benefits for himself?

"President Qin, although Guo Gong has disagreements with me on the technical route, he is still reliable," Director Ni said at this moment, "I can vouch for him, he is not selfish."

Facing Guo Liming, Director Ni showed magnanimity.

Everyone opposed him, but he didn't speak, he hid, because he knew that everyone would definitely be angry when they heard the news. After a while, when everyone's mood calmed down, he would explain to everyone.

He wasn't admitting defeat, he was just being tolerant. His mind was broad. Now, Qin Yang wanted to ruin Guo Liming's reputation, but he still decided to stand up and support Guo Liming.

A complex look appeared in Guo Liming's eyes.

He took the lead in opposing Director Ni, but now, Director Ni was protecting him!

Nie Xiaoqian had been watching from the side, and she was also filled with emotion. This was a good move. In the future, would this Guo Liming still have the face to go against Director Ni?

Qin Yang was playing the villain here, without worrying about the consequences. Anyway, he wasn't from the 616 Factory. Fangbei Industrial Company was of a higher level than the 616 Factory. Even if he offended Guo Liming and these people, he didn't have to worry about their revenge. And Director Ni was playing the good guy. Now, he had completely won over the people's hearts. The unstable situation of the 616 Factory had been resolved. If the higher-level leaders knew what happened here, they would also praise Qin Yang for doing a good job.

He was so young, yet he played power politics so skillfully. Was he really only eighteen years old?

"Okay, since Director Ni has interceded for you, then I have to give Director Ni some face. Guo Gong, you must remember in the future to be honest and do things steadily," Qin Yang said.

Guo Liming felt extremely wronged. I didn't do anything. My loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon. But now, he really couldn't say anything. If he didn't take the opportunity to step down and continued to fight Qin Yang, there would definitely be no good end. So many people with status and background in the capital had been pushed down by Qin Yang. What was he, Guo Liming?

"President Qin, what important matter brings you here this time?" Guo Liming could only change the subject.

This Qin Yang came here, probably to support Director Ni! Why? Guo Liming was still unconvinced and decided to attack from the side.

"I came to your factory to investigate and see if your factory has the ability to produce German technology diesel engines," Qin Yang said.

Guo Liming was immediately stunned. What did you say? German technology diesel engines?

A few years ago, a group of leaders went to Western Europe for inspection and brought back ten 8V331 engines. They had also been in contact with them at the time. These engines were too advanced! Not to mention anything else, if they were disassembled and reassembled in China, the power would drop a lot. They had no way to start.

Reverse engineering? Don't even think about it!

Now, they could actually produce them?

"President Qin, are you saying that we bought German technology?"

"You could say that. Our Fangbei Industrial Company came forward and negotiated with MTU Company for the introduction of their latest 396 diesel engine. According to this agreement, we will obtain a complete set of technical data. So, the next step is to investigate and see which domestic diesel engine factory is suitable."

"President Qin, leave the task to us, we will definitely complete it very well!" Guo Liming became excited. For the 616 Factory, this would be a leap forward. They, who were engaged in technology, would also broaden their horizons.

"But, no one is working during working hours. I'm very worried about your factory."

"Quick, what are you all standing there for? Hurry back to work!" Guo Liming shouted loudly.

Just now, Qin Yang had only bluffed Guo Liming, but now, everyone was shocked!

Who would dare to continue to make things difficult for Director Ni? Did they still want MTU Company's diesel engine technology?

The crowd dispersed in a rush.
