Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Old Lin?" Mo Quanyong was also stunned. Their aviation industry mainly served the air force, so the air force leaders were certainly qualified to attend their meetings. However, the air force supported the twin-engine J-6 modification and the WS-10, so the air force's arrival must be to support Zhang He and the others.

Also, who was the young man accompanying Old Lin?

Mo Quanyong really didn't recognize him, but someone present did. Zhang He blurted out, "Chief Qin, why are you here?"

"I heard that the aviation industry system is holding its year-end summary meeting," Qin Yang said. "Our Factory 960 can be considered to have officially entered the aviation industry. Surprisingly, we weren't invited to attend the meeting. Did the leaders forget about us? I missed the year-end meeting of the tank industry at Institute 201 last time, so I couldn't miss it this time. But at the entrance, the guard wouldn't let me in, so I had to ask Old Lin to bring me in."

Old Lin nodded, said nothing, and sat down on a chair near the entrance.

The twin-engine J-6 modification project was very confidential, so even within the aviation industry system, not everyone knew about it. When Old Lin heard Qin Yang say that they were criticizing the project, he was furious and brought Qin Yang over.

Our air force is the customer, and you are serving the air force. The air force has already made a decision, so how can you people interfere?

However, along the way, the anger in Old Lin's heart slowly subsided. He knew that Qin Yang wanted him to be the backing, so he simply didn't express his opinion and watched how Qin Yang would handle it.

When entering an industry, should one lower one's posture and befriend the people in the industry, or should one take a high posture and look down on them?

Qin Yang chose the latter. It was the same when a gun manufacturer ventured into making artillery and tanks, and it was the same now that he was venturing into the aviation industry!

"That's right, your Factory 960 has also started to get involved in our aviation industry, but Chief Qin, you are too busy. Didn't we already call Lao Zhang? He is here to represent you at the meeting," Leader Duan said. "Chief Qin, it's even better that you can come here. Come on, everyone, let's applaud and invite Chief Qin to speak!"

Sparse applause rang out, and Qin Yang said, "Our Factory 960 has just entered the aviation industry and is still a small player, so I won't speak. By the way, Engineer Zhang, have you reported on the WS-10 project?"

Qin Yang looked at Zhang He.

"This project is not funded by the state, nor is it included in the plan of our aviation industry system, so I didn't report it," Zhang He said.

"How can you not report it?" Qin Yang said. "The money is from our Factory 960, but this is also to help the development of our domestic aviation industry. Engineer Zhang, you are always so modest, only knowing how to work hard. That's not good. We have to let the system know what we have done! As the saying goes, 'It's foolish to only practice without talking.' Of course, even that is better than just talking without practicing."

Zhang He was overjoyed. Chief Qin's words were clearly a subtle criticism, no, a hint.

"Chief Qin, we are not just talking without practicing!" Before Zhang He could report, Mo Quanyong couldn't help but interject. Everyone said that this Chief Qin was the best at arguing, and now he had indeed started arguing. However, his words were not right! Factory 410 was proud!

"That's right, Chief Qin, you don't understand our aviation industry. Factory 410 has been developing the WS-6 for twenty years, and now it's finally about to succeed. They have come step by step, steadily and practically. They are not just talking without practicing."

"I didn't mention Factory 410," Qin Yang looked around. Old Liu and Old Li were not there, he didn't know if they were busy or avoiding suspicion, but since they weren't there, he could let loose.

"Factory 410 is amazing, successfully developing the WS-6. Congratulations, congratulations. We have an advanced high-thrust military turbofan engine in our country," Qin Yang said. "This is a major event in our aviation industry, worthy of celebration."

"That's right, Chief Qin, our WS-6 has already been developed, so there's no need to repeatedly develop a WS-10 with outdated technology and low thrust. It's a complete waste," Mo Quanyong said.

"Our Factory 960 has money and is willing to waste it. What's it to you?" Qin Yang looked at Mo Quanyong. "Our WS-10 is none of your business! Are you the one disparaging our WS-10?"

The happy atmosphere instantly froze.

Mo Quanyong's face flushed slightly. "Chief Qin, I didn't disparage your WS-10. Repeated research and development is a waste, and waste is a crime! Even if your Factory 960 has money, you can't spend it like this!"

"That's right, we just have money, so what if we waste it? Don't label me, it's not yet at the level of economic crime. Besides, what does it have to do with your Factory 410?"

"Chief Qin, you can't say that. You openly bid for those engine parts and give high rewards. Many workers in our Factory 410 are tempted. They don't have the心思 to work on our WS-6 anymore. They all want to make parts for your WS-10. How can that not be related to our Factory 410?"

"Work on your WS-6? Haven't you already developed it? What else is there to work on? However, we are indeed causing trouble for your Factory 410…"

"It's causing a lot of trouble, and you have to take responsibility!"

"Okay, we'll take responsibility," Qin Yang nodded. "We welcome those technicians who are willing to make parts for our WS-10 to join us. The salary and benefits will be doubled, so we won't cause you any trouble. How about that?"

"You!" Mo Quanyong's face turned completely red.

Having money means being able to do whatever you want! It was precisely because of the rewards for those parts that countless people had been thinking about it. Now, Qin Yang had offered double the salary and benefits. A large number of technical personnel from their Factory 410 would probably leave.

What was this? This was blatant poaching! If the most skilled people left, what would their Factory 410 do?

"Leaders, you've all seen it! Factory 960 is just so unreasonable. They want to hollow out our Factory 410. Such a unit entering our aviation industry will mess up our system! We were originally doing well, but now everything is in chaos!" Mo Quanyong looked at Leader Duan on the stage.

"Okay, you've finally said what you really think. You're not thinking of making progress, just getting by, and still thinking about eating from the big pot!" Qin Yang looked at Mo Quanyong. "We are just so unreasonable. We don't rely on funding from above, we don't rely on being fed by the higher-ups. What, are you nervous? Scared? Hmph, your fear is useless. Now it's a market economy, survival of the fittest! Our Factory 960 is going to be this catfish, to get those lazy salted fish moving! Leader Duan, what do you think?"
