Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

447 Factory.

Zhuang Shuren returned to the factory with a heavy heart, throwing himself into his work, completely transforming the setbacks he suffered in the capital into motivation for research and development.

However, the others at the 447 Factory began to gossip.

"This 105mm tank gun was originally produced by us, so why has the foreign trade deal fallen into the hands of Factory 960?"

"That's right, what's with this bidding process? They must have used some dirty tricks!"

"What a pity, two hundred 105mm guns, that's a lot of money to be made."

"Two hundred is just the beginning, there will be more orders later, I heard the total could reach thousands!"

Amidst the murmurs, a cold voice came from behind them: "What? Got nothing to do? If you're so idle, go clean the gun bores!"

Factory 447 manufactured cannons, and they wouldn't directly hand over brand-new cannons to the troops; instead, they would test-fire one first, and only deliver it to the troops after confirming there were no problems.

After test-firing, the gun bore had to be cleaned, which was a real physical task.

None of the technical staff wanted to clean the gun bores; was that their job? They were technical school graduates! But when they turned their heads and saw who was speaking, they quickly lowered their heads and scurried away.

"Director, we're going to get busy!"

The person who criticized them was none other than the director of Factory 447: Fu Ansheng!

During the bidding process some time ago, he was attending a meeting for a key project, so he didn't go; anyway, with Zhuang Shuren there, that was enough.

He just didn't expect things to go wrong.

After returning, Zhuang Shuren simply gave him a report on the work, and then went to work on the 120mm gun.

He knew that Zhuang Shuren wanted to learn from his shame and strive to defeat his opponents in the next bid through hard work.

The rumors in the factory were increasing, and Fu Ansheng was very annoyed.

What was the point of these gossips?

The most crucial thing now was to focus on technology.

To forge iron, one must be strong; as long as one's own strength was strong enough, was there any need to fear not being able to compete with opponents?

"Director Fu, should we hold a meeting to clarify discipline? If there are any more of these gossips, we should stop paying their bonuses!" Deputy Director Yu Zheng said, standing next to Fu Ansheng.

"Let's wait a little longer.

The tank gun bidding will take place in a while.

As long as this bidding is successful, Engineer Zhuang will be able to wash away his previous humiliation.

I believe he certainly doesn't want us to use these methods to clear his name; he wants to rely on himself."

Yu Zheng nodded and said nothing more.

"By the way, on our production line, do we have enough manpower?"

"Yes."

"Then see if we can transfer a group of technicians, especially those skilled in deep-hole drilling and rifling.

It would be best if we could transfer ten or eight of them."

"Director Fu, is there a task?"

"Yes, send them to Factory 960 to help."

"What?" Yu Zheng looked at Fu Ansheng in surprise, hardly believing his ears: "Director Fu, what did you say?"

"Factory 960 has already taken over the production task, but their workers haven't made cannons before, and I'm afraid it will delay the order.

We have to send people over to help."

"Director Fu, Factory 960 is our competitor!

They snatched the foreign trade order from us, and now you want to send people to help them?" Yu Zheng asked in surprise.

"That's right, they are our competitors, but now the competition is over.

If they can't produce qualified tank guns in time, it will affect the reputation of our entire national defense industry!" Fu Ansheng said, "They must be embarrassed to make this request, but we should help when we can."

The older generation of defense industry workers all had a high level of awareness.

Cooperation?

Could it be that he was afraid of affecting future cooperation?

Afraid of what?

Our factory is the number one cannon factory in Asia!

At this time, Yu Zheng was somewhat unimpressed, but since Director Fu had ordered it, he naturally had to do it.

Factory 960, Qin Yang rarely came to the meeting room to hold a meeting for everyone.

"Our factory's profits this year are good, but at the same time, our factory's expenditures this year are also a lot.

The infrastructure tasks that were not completed last year must continue to be completed.

All the land approved by the higher authorities for us must be built into factories and family compounds!

Clothing factories, research and development centers, tank modification factories, etc., must all be completed quickly!"

"No problem, we will definitely be able to complete the infrastructure tasks this year.

An investment of 20 million will be enough," Liu Yong said, "By the time winter comes this year, the construction area of our factory will at least be five times larger than it is now!"

As long as there is money, everything is easy to handle.

"We also have to recruit a group of college students to join the factory and serve as our research and development backbone, especially those majoring in electronics," Qin Yang continued to arrange.

"This is also no problem.

We have already contacted some universities in the capital.

If they don't allocate them to us, then we will poach them.

As long as we pay more and offer good treatment, we don't believe we can't poach people," Zhou Yongfei said.

They all watched Qin Yang grow up, and now that they have become Qin Yang's subordinates, listening to Qin Yang's instructions is no problem, after all, Qin Yang is leading the entire factory towards a brighter future.

"Director Qin, people are here from outside!" Just as the meeting was about to end, news came from the gatehouse.

"Who is it?"

"They said they are from Factory 447, and the leader is a kind-looking old man."

A kind-looking old man?

Qin Yang thought for a moment: "Let's adjourn the meeting for now and go out to greet them."

The other party certainly didn't come to provoke them.

Since they came, they were guests, and Factory 447 was the number one cannon factory in the country, so they had to go out to greet them.

When everyone walked to the factory gate and saw the person who came, Qin Yang was stunned: "Director Fu?"

"Engineer Qin?" Fu Ansheng was also taken aback: "This is our first time meeting, right? You know me?"

"That's right, it's the first time we've met, but I've heard a lot about your name, please come in."

Factory 447 was the number one cannon factory in the country, and the first director was the famous Old Wu, who devoted his life to his work, and even took the lead in the face of danger.

When Old Wu passed away, only half of his left hand remained, his leg had been blown off, his eyes had been injured twice, and there were countless wounds on his stomach.

Back then, Fu Ansheng was Old Wu's assistant, and under Old Wu's influence, he also firmly believed: everything is about work, and one must be brave enough to sacrifice oneself in the face of danger.

Qin Yang, of course, respected such a senior.

"Director Wu, welcome, are you here to visit us?" Qin Baoguo also greeted him.

"Yes, I came to take a look, and I also brought some technicians with me.

You are going to make cannons, and you may lack technicians for drilling and rifling.

If you need them, leave them here to help."

The smile on Qin Yang's face froze.

This was the older generation of defense industry workers!

His heart was full of emotion.

A competitor bringing technicians to help was all for the sake of the motherland's defense industry!

"Director Fu, thank you for your support and help," Qin Yang said, "I'll take you to visit our production line."

He couldn't refuse now: We really don't need it, our CNC machine tools can already work stably!

Taking everyone to see the production line should make them understand.
