Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"This factory area of yours looks very new. Was it newly built?" Perry asked as he walked.

"That's right. Our factory was newly built. In fact, our entire country is engaged in construction. If you come back here in five or ten years, you will definitely find a big change here," Qin Yang said as he walked into the cafeteria.

This must have been arranged by Zhang Chao. Too much is as bad as too little! During meal times, the cafeteria should look like a cafeteria. There's not a single person eating. Isn't that too deliberate? When the men in black suits come in, we'll all leave together in unison. That would be normal. Otherwise, it's too contrived. It seems Zhang Chao still has things to learn.

Lin Ge performed the best today. The explosives he placed at the tent exploded within a second, making the client think they accurately hit the tent. But in reality, with homemade shooting, where is there such precision? Missing by tens of meters is very normal…

Wait, it seems there's still one person who just got food and is standing there dumbfounded holding his lunch box.

Who is this person? Why does he look so familiar?

Qin Yang, being so busy, forgot about Wang Hai again.

"President Qin, you've finally brought foreign guests. We're all ready here," Wang Hai said with a smile on his face.

The men in black didn't stop him. Wang Hai walked over happily and looked at the people next to Qin Yang: "Hello! Nice to meet you."

Who is this guy? He can even speak English?

"President Qin, there are hidden talents in your factory. An ordinary worker can even speak a foreign language," Perry said with great emotion.

"Yes, our country is open and wants to connect with the world. Of course, we have to learn foreign languages. Hey you, you performed well today. Hurry up and eat. The food will get cold in a while."

Hey you? Wang Hai finally realized that Qin Yang didn't take him seriously at all. He didn't even remember his name!

"President Qin, I am Wang Hai. I am a returnee," Wang Hai tried hard to control his emotions. "I am familiar with American eating habits. How could you bring such distinguished guests to our cafeteria to dine? Neglecting the guests will damage our country's image! Let me make a phone call and quickly arrange a suitable foreign affairs restaurant."

"This is what the foreigners requested. What can I do?" Qin Yang said. "They want to grab a quick bite in the cafeteria and continue the tour in the afternoon."

"Then let me accompany you. I have experience."

"Qin, what are you talking about? Is it important?" Perry asked.

"It's nothing…"

"Distinguished foreign guests, I just applied to President Qin to receive you," Wang Hai said to Perry in English. "I lived in the United States for three years and have a very good impression of the United States. Americans are warm and hospitable. Now that you have come to the East, I should of course do my best as a host."

Nie Xiaoqian frowned aside. Why did Wang Hai suddenly interfere? Could there be any unexpected variables? But there's no way to drive him away now.

"Is that so? That's great," Perry nodded. "When did you live in the United States?"

Perry looked at the young man with some surprise. It was impossible for him to have lived in the United States twenty years ago, so he must have gone out in the last few years. Could it be studying abroad?

"In 1978, I went to the United States to study and just returned this year," Wang Hai said. "Thank you to the American university for cultivating me. I researched…"

Wang Hai showed a smug smile. Hmph, with a foreigner backing me up, let's see how Qin Yang can drive me away! Right, take this opportunity…

However, Qin Yang had already interrupted him: "Everyone, come, let's sit here and taste our Eastern cuisine."

Everyone sat down at the large table in the center of the cafeteria. In front of each person was a large bowl filled with steaming mixed vegetables, and two steamed buns were placed on the plate next to it.

"President Qin, doesn't our cafeteria have knives and forks? Distinguished Americans are not used to our chopsticks," Wang Hai began to make demands.

"I think the foreign guests would prefer to try using our chopsticks. It's called 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do,'" Qin Yang said. "Besides, we don't have knives and forks in our cafeteria."

Qin Yang turned to look at the guests again: "Come, Mr. Perry, let me teach you how to use our Eastern chopsticks. These two small sticks are our dining tools. They're very interesting."

Perry?

Wang Hai finally reacted. No wonder he felt familiar when he looked at him just now. It turned out to be a big shot! When he was in the United States, he had seen him in the newspapers many times. However, for such a big shot to come and visit, only Qin Yang was receiving him. Logically, there should be a bunch of people from the foreign affairs department!

"Mr. Perry, you've come to the right place to inspect our Factory 960. The military products developed here will definitely surprise you," Wang Hai said.

"That's right. We feel very fresh," Perry nodded and continued to play with the chopsticks in his hand.

"This morning, you saw the demonstration of the bulletproof vest, right?" Wang Hai said. "The bulletproof vest that can withstand AK bullets is one of the most proud products of our Factory 960."

Nie Xiaoqian's face changed, and she stared at Wang Hai seriously: What are you doing? Do you know what kind of words you are saying?

"Withstand AK bullets? NO, NO, that's impossible," Perry put down his chopsticks and shook his head repeatedly.

Perry couldn't believe it. Even the United States couldn't develop a bulletproof vest that could withstand AK bullets. How could the Easterners have developed it?

Qin Yang finally understood: This Wang Hai is indeed from the compound. His head is full of bad ideas to harm people! If he says no, then it's clearly lying to the Americans. These Americans will be dissatisfied. If he says yes, then it's equivalent to leaking secrets himself. This Wang Hai will definitely use the connections behind him to put the blame for the entire leak on his head!

What to do?

"President Qin, I'll call the higher-ups," Nie Xiaoqian, as the secretary, was originally next to Qin Yang. At this time, she lowered her head and whispered in Qin Yang's ear.

The solution is simple: report the matter here to the higher-ups! As for whether it will offend the Americans… he can't care about that!

Qin Yang nodded.

Wang Hai became anxious. What is Nie Xiaoqian going to do? She must be going to ask the higher-ups for instructions. If she reports what happened on the spot, won't the higher-ups see through his little tricks at once?

"Mr. Perry, I'm very sorry that we didn't show you the bulletproof vest this morning. That's because we had more important things to do this morning," Qin Yang said. "After lunch, our itinerary in the afternoon will be equally exciting."

Qin Yang knew that the higher-ups would definitely agree. Anyway, it's just a bulletproof vest. It's for protection and not offensive. Wang Hai leaked the secret, and Factory 960 will earn the money. Does this guy really think he can trick him?

If the higher-ups don't agree, then he'll show other things. Anyway, Factory 960 has a lot of good stuff. Those that have already been exported can be shown. He just said that the itinerary in the afternoon will be equally exciting, but he didn't say that he would show the bulletproof vest in the afternoon.

Perry nodded: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's have lunch quickly! If there are no knives and forks, can I use my hands?"
