Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Hmph, this is simply outrageous!" Seeing Qin Yang leave, Leader Wang's face alternated between red and white. "This is hardly our subordinate enterprise; they clearly want to ride on our heads! Lao Fang, what's the use of such enterprises developing well if they don't consider the overall situation? This is pure small-group mentality!"

"Lao Wang, you can't say that. Although the 960 Factory is our subordinate enterprise, we've never given them a single penny in allocations. Now it's a market economy, and it's wrong for us to use administrative means to interfere roughly. If we don't save the 9123 Factory and drag down the 960 Factory as well, the loss would outweigh the gain. Our decision at the meeting was just to solicit the 960 Factory's opinion. We shouldn't stretch our hands out too far."

Leader Wang was stunned. He didn't expect Leader Fang to side with the 960 Factory!

After having a midnight snack, he went to sleep and didn't get up until late the next morning. When he opened the door, he found someone standing there.

"Engineer Wang?" Qin Yang looked at Wang Liqun, who appeared at the door, very surprised. "What brings you here?"

"I've come to beg for mercy, President Qin. The current situation of the 9123 Factory..."

"Engineer Wang, I suddenly feel very dizzy. I need to go back to sleep..."

"Engineer Qin, I don't want to persuade you to merge with the 9123 Factory." Seeing Qin Yang about to close the door, Wang Liqun quickly said.

Qin Yang put on a smile. "You should have said so earlier. Come in and talk."

"Engineer Qin, I heard about yesterday's events. Since your factory doesn't have the capacity to take over the 9123 Factory entirely, then forget it. But, the machinery and equipment of the 9123 Factory, and the two thousand-plus people, I hope you can think of a way to help."

Wang Liqun was also a little regretful. Yesterday, he gave the 9123 Factory a bad idea, thinking that President Qin would be forced to agree, so that the 9123 Factory would have a way out, but he didn't expect President Qin to object so strongly!

However, the problems of the 9123 Factory still need the help of the 960 Factory, and only they can solve them.

"Engineer Wang, just say what your proposal is."

"Engineer Qin, could you buy the machinery and equipment of the 9123 Factory at a high price? Two times the scrap metal price is too cheap, can it be ten times?"

"Of course not, Engineer Wang. Think about it, I said two times the scrap metal price to Leader Fang yesterday, and you come running here today saying ten times. What would Leader Fang think? Is your face bigger than Leader Fang's?"

"Engineer Qin, as long as it can help the 9123 Factory recover some losses, my personal honor or disgrace is nothing." Wang Liqun said, "Even if I'm envied by Leader Fang because of it, it doesn't matter."

In fact, Leader Fang was certainly not that kind of person. Qin Yang was just using someone else's influence to intimidate. However, Wang Liqun, this old expert, wasn't afraid.

"Their machines are all from the sixties, long outdated. Most of them have to be sold as scrap metal, and only a few can still be used. But, since you're so righteous, then I'll take a loss, three times the scrap metal price, no higher."

Wang Liqun sighed. "Okay, Engineer Qin, it's settled. Next is the destination of the factory's two thousand-plus workers. Your 960 Factory is constantly developing and growing, and you definitely need workers. Can you take them all in?"

Qin Yang showed a troubled expression. "Our production lines are running normally, and we don't have any new projects right now. We simply don't need to recruit new people to work."

"Engineer Qin, those are all the most experienced master craftsmen. If they come, they will definitely become the pillars of your company."

"Alright, since you say so, then we'll take two hundred people."

"Engineer Qin, there are more than two thousand of them, can you take in more?"

"Then three hundred people, no more, otherwise, we might really be dragged down." Qin Yang said, "This can be considered our last contribution to our brother unit. However, they need to come to our factory for an interview, and only those who pass can stay."

"Okay, I'll tell them the news immediately."

Early the next morning, a large group of people appeared at the gate of the 960 Factory. They stood in neat rows, waiting for the 960 Factory's interview.

"Lao Liu, how was it?" Seeing the person coming out, the people queuing outside immediately shouted.

"I took out my Grade 5 worker certificate, processed a part, and was accepted. I'm going to the dormitory now."

"Grade 5 worker? Will Grade 4 worker do?"

"It's not just about the certificate, the ultimate thing is still the skill. Zhao主任, who was in front of me, had rusty skills, even if he had a Grade 6 worker certificate, he was still brushed down."

The person stopped talking here, seeing Director Zhao walking out with a gloomy face, and quickly shut his mouth and left.

Now, who in the entire system doesn't want to enter the 960 Factory? If it wasn't for the crisis that the 9123 Factory encountered this time, the 960 Factory wouldn't have opened up to want the workers of the 9123 Factory! These ordinary workers have nothing to complain about, but are glad that they have a good opportunity.

In the office building, looking at this lively scene, Qin Baoguo's heart was filled with emotion.

He came back last night and heard others talk about this matter, but he didn't see Qin Yang at night and didn't know where he was busy again. Now he finally has the opportunity to express his inner thoughts.

"Yangzi, we've needed a bigger ammunition factory for a long time. This time, if we have the opportunity, wouldn't it be better to directly merge the 9123 Factory as a whole? The staffing is complete and it can be put into production directly."

"Directly merge it?" Qin Yang shook his head. "That way, we'd really be carrying a heavy burden. I've already investigated it. There are more than two thousand mouths in their factory, but only three hundred people are actually working. Right now, I only want these three hundred people, along with the machinery and equipment is enough. As for the rest of the people, let them do whatever they want. And the staffing is complete? Do you know how many people they have in logistics? How many cadres? I don't want any of those who can't engage in production!"

No destruction, no construction! Destruction before construction!

Qin Yang has been working on this for so long for this purpose.

If he directly merges it, then he will be carrying a heavy burden. In the failed state-owned enterprise merger cases in later generations, the biggest problem is that the tail is too big to wag, there are few workers and many eaters. There are more talkers and fewer doers.

Maybe those people will also be disobedient and secretly say that Qin Yang is playing tricks. Although he is not afraid, it wastes time and energy!

Knock knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
