Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Regarding Comrade Qin Yang's work situation, we need to help him resolve it as soon as possible." Leader Dong continued to instruct: "A good comrade like him can't be buried. It's just that he's skilled in both technology and sales, so where should we place him?"

"Originally, Lao Qin was the head of the technical department. Now that he's the deputy director of the factory and still holds the position of head of the technical department, Qin Yang is so capable, we still rely on him for technical matters. I think it would be great to have him in the technical department, cultivate him, and he'll be material for the head of the technical department."

"We don't lack technology now; what we lack are talents who can adapt to the market economy. Qin Yang is definitely a leader in this regard. He became a 'ten-thousand-yuan household' in just a few days. Moreover, Qin Yang plans to promote our products abroad. In my opinion, it's most appropriate to have Qin Yang in the sales department."

Everyone discussed enthusiastically.

Chen Lishui didn't say anything. He knew that everything here was no longer related to him. Next, he should still have his old man pull some strings and leave this place. Continuing to stay here would only make him a laughingstock.

"I think we should just let him hold concurrent positions in both departments," Zhou Yongfei said with a smile.

"Respected leaders, even if I had three heads and six arms, it wouldn't be enough," Qin Yang said with a smile. "There's too much work; I can't handle it all alone. I need someone to share the burden. I took Zhang Chao with me when I was running sales during this period. How about resolving his job situation as well and letting him be my assistant?"

Liu Yong looked at Qin Yang with satisfaction. This kid is loyal enough! Zhang Chao and he grew up together, and now he's helping him. With him saying this at the meeting, the factory will have to consider it.

"Good, if you can generate five million US dollars in foreign exchange, our system will have to specially hold a celebration banquet for your factory this year!" Leader Dong also made the decision.

In the 1980s, the country's total foreign exchange reserves were only 1.2 billion US dollars. If a small 960 factory could generate five million US dollars in foreign exchange for the country, it would definitely be a great achievement!

Leader Dong left, and the 960 factory was in an uproar.

Last time Leader Dong came, he took Yang Zhaoxiang away, and Mu Guijin also followed. These people never came back. It's said that they were all sentenced!

This time Leader Dong came, everyone thought something would happen to Qin Yang, but unexpectedly, Qin Yang was fine! Even before Leader Dong got into the car, he patted Qin Yang on the shoulder and told him something, looking like a kind elder looking at his nephews!

Everyone was shocked.

At the same time, even more surprising news was spreading.

By promoting air rifles for the factory, Qin Yang has become a 'ten-thousand-yuan household'!

Qin Yang wants to use this money to travel abroad!

In the 1980s, ten thousand yuan was an existence that these ordinary people couldn't even imagine!

However, no one dared to actively ask Qin Yang anymore. This Qin Yang is too strange; it's better to avoid provoking him. They all turned their attention to Zhang Chao, who looked honest and reliable.

"Chaozi, did you and Yangzi really earn over ten thousand yuan?"

"Yangzi doesn't want me to talk about it."

"Chaozi, you're someone that Auntie watched grow up. What's there to hide about this kind of thing? It's a skill for you young people to earn money! Tell Auntie so I can admire you."

"Okay, Auntie Wang, we went to Wucheng and promoted to the department store there. As soon as the air rifle shooters there tested it, they gave our air rifle a thumbs up and bought them one after another. In a couple of days, we estimate we'll have to send another truckload over."

"Is door-to-door sales that easy?"

"Yes, our 960 factory is a military factory, and the 'Lion Brand' air rifles we produce are also military-grade." Zhang Chao, according to what Qin Yang taught him, said, spitting everywhere: "The air rifles from those other factories can't compare to ours at all. What 'Gongzi Brand,' 'B2,' they're all crap! Our air rifles have good quality, high precision, and people are willing to buy them even if they're expensive. There are probably thousands of cities like Wucheng across the country. We plan to go door-to-door to promote them next..."

Just like that, some people were moved.

That afternoon, someone knocked on the door of Qin Baoguo's office.

"Director Qin, I've thought it over. We can't occupy a latrine without shitting. I don't have much to do at the factory's cinema. Leaving one person to show movies is enough. I want to promote air rifles for our factory."

"Lao Wang, you have to think it over. To promote air rifles, you have to suspend your job with pay and have no relationship with our factory, similar to the nature of a self-employed individual."

Lao Wang nodded: "I've thought it over, Director Qin. My hometown is in Sichuan. I want to go back there to promote. Qin Yang only went to Wucheng to promote and became a 'ten-thousand-yuan household.' If I go to Sichuan to promote, I can earn at least ten thousand yuan!"

"Good! Lao Wang, you have ambition! Any unit you successfully promote to, come here to register, and they will be your customers in the future. We will not accept direct orders from those units at our factory, only orders from you, the salesperson."

Lao Wang was immediately overjoyed: "Director Qin, rest assured, I will definitely promote a thousand air rifles for our factory within this year!"

Earning ten yuan per rifle, as long as he can promote a thousand, that's ten thousand yuan! This is much better than earning a fixed salary of tens of yuan in the factory!

If Qin Yang can succeed, of course they can succeed too! It just might take a little longer! Maybe they can even promote thousands?

Under the halo of Qin Yang, a successful person, those in non-frontline positions in the factory were all eager to try. They were all stimulated by the title of "ten-thousand-yuan household." Taking advantage of this great opportunity to venture out is a hundred times better than staying in this remote mountain village!

As for whether there will be problems with earning money this way? Qin Yang is fine, so that means the higher-ups approve!

Moreover, the factory generously provides them with introduction letters and certificates. To the outside world, they are still people sent by the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory.

The most difficult job transfer and diversion was actually carried out so smoothly! Originally, these people were unwilling to leave, waiting for the factory to resolve their jobs, but now some people have begun to embark on the positions of salesmen. The monolithic situation has been broken. Even if some people still want to lie down and eat from the big pot, it is no longer appealing.

Next, it should be the reform of the salary system, increasing the wages of workers in the frontline workshops and decreasing the wages of those who do nothing! Of course, it should be done gradually, like boiling a frog in warm water. In the past few days, Qin Yang has not paid attention to this matter. He has to quickly create professional competition air rifles.
