Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Everyone knew that Qin Yang had successfully negotiated a big deal today, but they were puzzled as to why the Americans, who possessed the world's leading military technology, would purchase outdated weapons and equipment from the East.

Now they finally understood: the Americans weren't buying this equipment for their own use, but for the Afghan guerrillas!

To avoid triggering terrible consequences, superpowers never directly confront each other on the battlefield. In the Far East war, the Americans intervened, and the Soviets stopped their involvement. The same was true in the Vietnam War, where they provided various equipment from behind the scenes, leaving the Americans helpless.

The Americans finally had their chance in Afghanistan when the Soviets personally intervened. Naturally, the Americans would try to trip up the Soviets from behind.

If the Soviets wanted to pacify Afghanistan, the Americans would support the Afghan guerrillas. However, American-made weapons were too sophisticated and not suitable for the locals. The rugged and durable Soviet weapons were more appropriate.

But how to procure Soviet weapons was a major problem. Qin Yang noticed this business opportunity and easily solved it!

Now that Qin Yang had explained it, everyone felt it was natural and logical. However, they might not have the ability to sniff out this business opportunity and promote it so effectively!

"The matters this morning were minor. Let's talk about the afternoon project. Yangzi, why did you choose Black Hawk helicopters from the Americans' vast arsenal?" Old Lin asked, "Why didn't you choose F-16s?"

Whether to sell bulletproof vests still required the old leader's approval, but everyone knew that there shouldn't be any suspense. Exchanging goods without spending precious foreign exchange, what could be the problem?

Now, everyone already knew that military reform was inevitable. Even if the helicopters temporarily ended up in the Air Force's hands, they wouldn't be able to keep them for long before having to hand them over to the Army.

"That's right, we need Black Hawk helicopters. They are exactly what we urgently need right now," Leader Huang said. The Air Force might be unhappy, but the Army would definitely support it with both hands.

"Old Huang, don't make trouble," Old Lin said. "Without air superiority, how can helicopters fly? What we urgently need now are fighter jets!"

"That's right, President Qin, what were you thinking at the time?" Leader Wang asked with a smile, looking kind.

"Leader Wang, didn't the sea turtle report to you? Didn't he say why we chose Black Hawks?"

"Well..."

"Yangzi, stop being mysterious. The sea turtle is nothing. Without you, could this deal have been made? Tell us clearly now, why not F-16s?" Old Lin said anxiously.

Leader Wang's face darkened.

"It's not easy to exchange for American equipment," Qin Yang said. "Even the Americans didn't want to give us Black Hawks. I had to plead and bargain, and finally used the excuse of humanitarian aid. Old Lin, helicopters can be used for rescue, but you can't say fighter jets can be used for rescue, can you? How can I tell the Americans that fighter jets can send people to the West?"

The crowd burst into laughter, and Old Lin was also helpless. He didn't expect so many complications in the middle. It seemed like it was going to be difficult.

Qin Yang yawned and continued to tell everyone about what happened today. Seeing his tired appearance, everyone was embarrassed to delay him for too long. After finishing talking about today's events, Qin Yang and the others finally came out.

"This day has been so fulfilling," Qin Yang said. "Xiaoqian, after we get back, remember to give everyone overtime pay, 1,000 yuan per person."

"Brother Yang, wouldn't 1,000 be a bit inappropriate?" Nie Xiaoqian asked.

"Then make it 2,000."

Qin Yang went back to sleep. Many people continued to work late into the night, considering the arrangements for the next day.

Waking up naturally after a good night's sleep, that's a great feeling! Qin Yang comfortably lay in bed, finally able to sleep in today! Perry would officially meet with the old leader today, but it was no longer Qin Yang's turn to intervene. They could talk however they wanted.

Knock, knock!

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

"Who is it?"

"Yangzi, it's Chaozi. Fangbei Company called and said someone wants to see you."

"Tell them I'm busy."

"Okay, then I'll go back and tell Teacher Nie."

"Xiaoqian called? Okay, tell her I'll be there in an hour."

"Okay."

Zhang Chao went back to make the call. Qin Yang got back into bed and continued to sleep in. After getting up, he washed his face, ate something, and then strolled to Fangbei Company.

Wait, why are there so many cars parked outside?

Qin Yang frowned. When he arrived at the office, he was even more speechless. A large group of people were gathered here, seemingly trying to besiege Fangbei Company.

"Everyone, please be quiet. This project hasn't been completely finalized yet. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to issue the tender. You're all here too early."

"Secretary Nie, tomorrow will be too late. We're here today to take a look first. If we can finalize it, we can start work and avoid delays."

"That's right, Little Nie, when will President Qin arrive? If President Qin isn't here, Old Dong will do."

"When we're not here, Secretary Nie can preside over the work of Fangbei Company. Her words are equivalent to my words, Qin Yang's words. What do you all want to do here?"

This voice made many people's hearts tremble. They looked over and then put on smiling faces.

"President Qin, you're here?"

As Qin Yang walked inside, he looked around. There were many familiar faces, and some unfamiliar faces, but he knew what these people were here for.

100,000 Type 56 assault rifles, 10 million rounds of ammunition, 5,000 sets of Type 40 rocket launchers, 100 sets of Type 107 rocket launchers, 10,000 rockets. This was definitely a feast for the Eastern military industry.

Factory 960 certainly couldn't handle it all. They were producing more profitable weapons, so these orders would eventually have to be handed over to domestic ordnance factories. After receiving the news, they rushed over overnight, all wanting to grab the orders. Originally, they all thought about taking the lead, but who would have thought that they would gather here.

They couldn't afford to offend President Qin!

"Who was just showing off their seniority by calling her Little Nie?" Qin Yang sat down leisurely, looking at the people in the room.

"Old Zheng said it!"

"That's right, Old Zheng, how could you show off in front of Secretary Nie? When President Qin isn't here, Secretary Nie can make the decisions!"

The person called Old Zheng's face was flushed, his lips trembled, and he spoke with a trembling voice: "Secretary Nie, I'm sorry, I, I apologize to you, I'll kowtow to you..."

"No, Old Zheng, what are you doing?" Nie Xiaoqian quickly stopped him. She was happy that Qin Yang was sticking up for her, but if she forced the old man to kneel down and kowtow to her, it would be troublesome if word got out.

"Old Zheng, aren't you putting Secretary Nie in a difficult position?"

"That's right, that's right, President Qin has already said that Secretary Nie's words are his words. If Secretary Nie doesn't let you kowtow, then you're being disobedient. Fangbei Company doesn't want disobedient people!"

"Okay, this is just a small matter. If Secretary Nie doesn't pursue it, then it's over," Qin Yang said. "Now, let's deal with your business!"
