Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

No factory is as united from top to bottom as Factory 960. No matter who comes from above, they see them all as insignificant.

With wages twice as high as others and producing the most advanced weapons in the country, the people of Factory 960 have a sense of pride. Whether they were original workers or joined later, now they all have only one identity: Qin Yang's people.

Qin Yang is leading them towards a better new life, and anyone who dares to cause trouble will face their wrath!

When Wang Hai had an accident, everyone didn't take it seriously. They didn't have much affection for that high-ranking returnee. However, when they heard that Wang Hai's family member was the leader of this accident investigation team, they felt something was wrong. The sounds of the meeting inside were very loud, and people outside could hear some of it if they listened carefully. When they heard that they wanted to use this matter to suppress their factory, they became angry.

While the people inside were confronting Leader Wang, the people outside had spontaneously gathered and blocked the entrance of the office building, each holding a brick in their hands, radiating murderous intent.

Why bricks? Because Qin Yang had jokingly said that bricks don't count as weapons, and you can come up with a lot of reasons to reduce the charges if you hit someone with them.

When Leader Wang came out, he saw this scene, and the people who came with him almost wet their pants. With those experiences from previous years, he instinctively thought that something big was about to happen. Fortunately, Leader Wang was relatively calm and went directly to find Qin Baoguo.

Qin Baoguo also frowned. He walked outside, looked at the dark crowd, and felt a sense of inexplicable emotion. It hasn't been easy for Factory 960 to get to where it is today. In addition to Qin Yang's contribution, there has also been the joint effort of everyone, thinking in the same direction and working together.

Now that the factory is facing unfair treatment, not only the middle-level leaders have stood up, but even the ordinary workers below have stood up. If this matter spreads, everyone should know that it is impossible to parachute someone in to lead Factory 960. Factory 960 is not a state-owned enterprise, not an enterprise within the system, but something they have built themselves.

Unfortunately, they still don't have a formal identity!

Qin Baoguo's face became serious: "This is a leader from above, who is here to investigate the factory's production accident. Don't listen to rumors. It's working hours now. If you're not on the production line, aren't you afraid of having your wages deducted? Go back to work immediately!"

No one moved. The wage deduction thing doesn't work here.

Do you still consider me the factory director?

Of course you are our factory director!

Then listen to my orders!

But, this son of a bitch…

What are you saying? Is this how you treat a superior leader? Aren't you smearing my, Qin Baoguo's, face? When the time comes, the entire system will know that our Factory 960 is lawless. Can our factory still survive? Now, go back to work!

Qin Baoguo's words moved the people present. They were not afraid of confronting leaders, but they couldn't cause trouble for Factory Director Qin.

Watching these people leave, Leader Wang breathed a sigh of relief. However, he turned back and glared at Qin Baoguo fiercely, without saying any words of thanks.

What Qin Baoguo said just now reminded him that since it was impossible to parachute someone in to lead Factory 960, it would be better to completely eliminate this factory!

Getting into the car, Leader Wang's face was gloomy: "Go find Secretary Song, I want to report to Secretary Song personally."

Secretary Song is responsible to the old leader. Reporting to Secretary Song is reporting to the old leader. The old leader can't tolerate any nonsense and definitely won't allow the existence of a disobedient factory like Factory 960. No matter how much money it makes, it must be broken up, smashed, and reorganized!

However, when he arrived outside Secretary Song's office, he was stopped.

Secretary Song is talking with someone, please wait a moment.

Okay.

Leader Wang waited and waited outside for a full two hours before he saw the person inside come out. He let out a long breath. Good, he could finally go in.

However, when he saw the person coming out, his expression changed instantly: "Qin Yang?"

Qin Yang actually returned from abroad and came directly to report to Secretary Song? And they talked for so long?

What did they talk about?

Are you Leader Wang?

Qin Yang glanced at Leader Wang: "Our factory will take responsibility for Wang Hai's matter."

How do you plan to take responsibility?

Leader Wang's tone was cold, as if the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

He will be considered a work-related injury, and can receive a work-related injury subsidy, until he retires. Even if he doesn't work in the future, it will be enough for him to spend.

Just a subsidy?

There will also be holiday benefits. After all, he has worked in our factory. I, Qin Yang, am not someone who doesn't value old relationships.

Good, good, good! You are really affectionate and righteous!

Leader Wang finished this sentence harshly and strode into Secretary Song's office.

Secretary Song, I just returned from Factory 960, and the people there are about to rebel!

Leader Wang first put on a big label: "There, everyone listens to Factory Director Qin. Is their factory still a factory under the leadership of our Party?"

The angry Leader Wang talked endlessly, but as he spoke, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. What was Secretary Song's attitude? Hearing himself say this, he wasn't anxious or angry at all, but just leisurely drinking tea?

Secretary Song, Factory 960 must be rectified!

Then tell me, how should it be rectified?

Secretary Song asked.

Completely disband Factory 960 and distribute their various departments to other military factories! This is a hidden danger that must be eradicated!

Secretary Song put down the teacup and looked at Leader Wang meaningfully: "When we were in the mountainous area, the higher authorities had completely abandoned Factory 960. In order to allow the third-line factory to find its own way out, we gave them the right to autonomous management. We will not interfere in any actions of Factory 960, nor will we give them a penny. Now everything they have developed is theirs. What right do we have to split them up and send them to other military factories?"

How can we not have the right? As long as the same flag flies on the flagpole of their factory, we have this right!

Secretary Song sighed deeply: "There is something that needs to follow the process, but I can tell you in advance now that the old leader has agreed to use Factory 960 as a pilot for a new round of reform. The goal of the reform is to transform the factory director responsibility system under the leadership of the Party committee into a factory director direct responsibility system. After the reform is successful, it will also be promoted to all state-owned enterprises to implement the separation of government and enterprise."

What does that mean?

To truly make enterprises relatively independent economic entities, become socialist commodity producers and operators with independent management and responsibility for their own profits and losses, have self-transformation and self-development capabilities, and become legal persons with certain rights and obligations, specifically, to prevent higher-level leaders from dictating to enterprises.

Secretary Song said: "Do you still remember the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee?"
