Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

French guys?

Qin Yang made a decisive decision: "It seems I've come at the wrong time, Xiaoqian, quickly book a few plane tickets. We won't even leave the airport; we'll go straight to Argentina. Friends there have invited us to play a game of football. Let's go ahead and set up base. Our honeymoon is only halfway through; we'll spend the second half in South America."

Leader Dong was speechless behind him. President Qin really knows how to make money, and he really knows how to have fun. He just got back from Europe, and now he's going to South America? Moreover, he completes his tasks while having fun. There's no comparison.

Go, then. Going to South America might even bring back another business deal.

Nie Xiaoqian was a little surprised. Is this always how we are? Is it appropriate? Before she could answer, a voice came from afar: "President Qin, President Qin! You've made me wait so long! You're finally back! You must help Daso Company with this favor."

Qin Yang's face changed. Pierre actually chased him to the airport?

It was too late to hide. Qin Yang looked around and saw that Old Lin and his men had disappeared without a trace, completely denying Qin Yang the chance to pass the buck.

"I've been very anxious these past few days, waiting at your factory gate. Your people at the factory are really something, why didn't they tell me you were abroad sooner! Today I found out you were coming back from Italy, so I rushed to pick you up at the airport. Luckily, I made it in time."

Pierre ran up to Qin Yang, panting, and began to communicate in English, which they both knew well.

"Pierre, I just got off the plane and haven't even adjusted to the time difference. I'm very tired. How about you come to Fangbei Company to find me tomorrow?"

"President Qin, it's too difficult to see you. How about I treat you to a meal at the Capital Airport Restaurant? We can chat while we eat."

"Alright."

The airport restaurant was still very high-end, after all, ordinary people couldn't come here. Qin Yang ordered a medium-well steak, used his knife and fork skillfully, eating while asking Pierre: "What exactly is the matter?"

"President Qin, the Mirage 2000 project wasn't negotiated successfully."

"How is that possible! The people who went this time were all high-level leaders who went specifically to place orders. I went with them, but after getting off the plane, I felt it wasn't convenient to travel with the large group, so I rented a car with a few good friends and traveled around Europe. How could it not be successful?"

"The main issue was that the price couldn't be agreed upon." Pierre said, "The duck that was about to be caught flew away just like that. President Qin, please think of a way for us."

"Then I really can't help you." Qin Yang said, "In the end, our country is still poor! We have to be stingy when buying anything."

"Don't, President Qin, you must have a way."

They spent a lot of money for this business. The Mirage 2000 fighter jet was on display in the East for so many days, and it was supposed to be a sure thing!

"Well, there is a way." Qin Yang said while eating, "First of all, you can lower the price."

"That's impossible. France never lowers prices." Pierre shook his head. If they were going to lower the price, would they still need to come to Qin Yang? They would have negotiated it in Europe.

"Then we can only wait. Wait a few more years, until our country's economy develops and our foreign exchange reserves are abundant, then we can purchase it."

Wait?

Pierre was dumbfounded. This was President Qin's reply? After all that, they didn't get anything!

Factory Two of Factory 960.

"These materials are in Italian, and we need to find translators to convert them into English." Xu Guohua said, looking at the film displayed on the projector, "But from the current point of view, these materials should be complete, especially this circuit diagram. We can now start imitating the prototype!"

The circuit diagram is the most crucial. Even if the subsequent materials take some time to arrive, we can start now!

"Really? That's great. I'll find someone to translate it now." Nie Xiaoqian was very excited. For just a few hundred thousand US dollars, they brought back materials worth tens of millions! Brother Yang is just that amazing!

"Install air defense missiles on the tank." A voice came from the doorway.

What? Qin Yang looked over curiously and saw a familiar face: Sea Turtle?

No, Sea Turtle is a one-eyed dragon and not very old. The person in front of him should be in his forties, wearing a military uniform, and looking very energetic. Could it be Sea Turtle's father?

Qin Yang frowned: "You are?"

"My name is Wang Chongming. I'm currently engaged in research work at the Military Academy."

Military Academy! Many laymen don't understand this name. In 1985, the Military Academy, the Political Academy, and the Logistics Academy merged to form the National Defense University, the highest military institution!

Being engaged in research work at the Military Academy, this guy has an extraordinary background.

"Old Wang is a Confucian general in our army. He can fight and he can do research. After returning, Old Wang has been working diligently. After careful research, he believes that in future wars, armed helicopters will become the main opponent of tanks. If tanks do not have air defense capabilities, it will be difficult for them to survive in future wars." Old Zhu introduced from the side.

Qin Yang nodded: "That view is correct."

Wang Chongming became excited when he heard Qin Yang say this: "Old Zhu, did you hear that? Your most trusted assistant also agrees with this plan. It's important to install air defense missiles on tanks, even if the project has to be restarted, this modification must be completed."

Restart the project?

The third-generation tank project is Old Zhu's hard work, and Qin Yang has also played a big role. Although he doesn't come often, he still values this project very much. This is the army's most important weapon and equipment.

Great, this guy wants us to start all over again with a lighthearted sentence?

"Old Wang, are you deaf?" Qin Yang roared.

Wang Chongming's face changed: "President Qin, what do you mean by that? You, how can you scold people?"

"I'm asking if you're deaf? When did I agree to the ridiculous plan of installing air defense missiles on tanks?"

"Didn't you just say that the view that armed helicopters pose the greatest threat to tanks is correct?"

"That's right, but I didn't say to install air defense missiles on tanks!" Qin Yang rolled his eyes at him: "With your level of understanding, how did you become a researcher at the Military Academy?"

"I…" As expected, this Qin Yang is just like the legends say, he can make people angry to death! Wang Chongming took a deep breath: "President Qin, then please explain it."

"I won't explain it to people with poor comprehension skills, it's a waste of time. Old Zhu, let's continue the research and development according to the planned plan. We still have to present a gift to the motherland in 1984, so time cannot be wasted." Qin Yang said: "What I'm most worried about is the engine…"

"Qin Yang, what kind of attitude is that?" Wang Chongming became anxious.

"It's the most foolish behavior for an amateur to interfere with a professional. Old Wang, you should go back and honestly be your researcher. You can research anything, but researching tanks? You'd better forget about it."

They really did install it back then.
