Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

As night fell, Zhu Zizhong, accompanied by Zhou Yongfei and Qin Baoguo, cheerfully escorted Tang Wenlong and the others out of the office building.

"Factory Director Tang, it's settled then. Your Second Factory will submit a report to the higher-ups requesting a merger with our First Factory," Zhu Zizhong said, shaking hands with Tang Wenlong at the end. "This way, it will appear that our two brother factories are one family, preventing others from gossiping."

"Certainly, we will submit the report upon our return. From now on, we will be able to embrace new development opportunities," Tang Wenlong said. "In a market economy, we should also stick together for warmth and create a more glorious future."

After a series of pleasantries, the two parties finally parted ways.

Watching the backs of the Second Factory's leaders disappear into the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhu Zizhong was filled with emotion: "To complete the intention of merging the Second Factory in a single day, only Yangzi could come up with such a method of forcing the palace!"

It was most ideal for the Second Factory to proactively submit a report to the higher-ups. If the First Factory had initiated it, it would have seemed overbearing. The current outcome is the best possible.

"Indeed, Factory Director Qin has an impressive son!" Zhou Yongfei also exclaimed.

According to Zhou Yongfei's idea, he would have brought a bottle of liquor and cooked food to Wang Zhihe, trying to persuade him slowly through personal connections. This would have taken time and might not have been effective. Qin Yang directly drove the Second Factory's workers to force the palace, settling the matter on the same day. The efficiency is truly impressive.

"By the way, where is Yangzi? Shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot and discuss the next steps for the relocation plan?" Zhu Zizhong continued to ask.

"I don't know what he's busy with," Qin Baoguo said, glancing around. "I'll go look for him!"

"Come, Brother Lin, you are Yangzi's older brother, so you are my older brother!" At this moment, inside the guesthouse, several people were drinking. Zhang Chao excitedly raised his glass and said to Lin Heping, "Yangzi and I have been playing together since we were kids. I am now the head of the sales department, also thanks to Yangzi. Alas, the sales work always requires running back and forth, very busy. Only today did I have the chance to drink with Brother Lin. I'll finish this first!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chao tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine.

"Chaozi, don't just focus on drinking. We can't forget the main business. Brother Lin has taken a liking to our 'Big Sniper'. One isn't enough, we have to send Brother Lin ten. Even if this gun is mass-produced, the process still has to go through your sales department."

Originally, guns should have a model number. However, the 960 Factory produced sniper rifles too quickly, and the process of issuing model numbers was very complicated. So far, the imitation SVD sniper rifle has received a positive response and will be granted the model name of 'Type 80 Sniper Rifle' by the higher-ups, but this 12.7mm caliber sniper rifle still doesn't have a model number.

However, this doesn't cause confusion. Qin Yang casually gave the 'Big Sniper' a name.

Hearing Qin Yang say this, Lin Heping quickly shook his head: "No, since I'm taking ten, let's follow the rules and pay for them."

"Brother Lin, according to the rules, the higher-ups allocate funds. We can't let you pay out of your own pocket. Moreover, these guns aren't cheap. The cost of one gun in our factory is around 50,000. Your little salary isn't enough! For our factory, it's just a drop in the bucket. Don't worry…"

Fifty thousand? This gun is expensive, but it's not even ten thousand! Zhang Chao only slandered in his heart for a while, his face still with a smile. After this period of experience, he has long matured, Yangzi said so, there must be a reason.

"Oh, no wonder I couldn't find your shadows in the factory, you are drinking here!" At this moment, a girl's voice came from outside.

Without looking up, Qin Yang knew that Wang Fang had come. He had been waiting for this girl for a long time. It seemed that she only came out after getting off work.

"What's wrong? Can't we drink? I'm already over eighteen, do you still want to report me?"

"You are here drinking to celebrate, right? You played tricks, forcing my dad to have no choice but to agree to your First Factory merging with our Second Factory!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Qin Yang glanced at Wang Fang. "We are honest and law-abiding people, don't slander us."

"Her dad?" Lin Heping was a little curious: "Her dad is Factory Director Wang of the Second Factory?"

"What are you doing here? Say what you have to say quickly, don't delay our drinking."

Hearing Qin Yang's question, Wang Fang's face turned slightly red: "I didn't come to find you. I'm off work, and I wanted to come and listen to Comrade Lin tell stories about fighting."

"Listen to stories? Good, there is wine here, and there are stories," Qin Yang stood up: "That, Brother Lin, I suddenly remembered that I still have work to do, so I won't accompany you to drink. Chaozi, you come with me too."

Zhang Chao stood up in surprise. At this time, he wanted to say in his heart: I also want to hear stories about fighting!

"Hey, how can you…" Lin Heping was a little anxious. In all these years, he had never been alone with a young girl.

"Brother Lin, you chat, if you are tired of chatting, you can also do *that* together." Although people in this era don't understand this double meaning, it's still very refreshing to say it.

Qin Yang walked out with Chaozi. Zhang Chao finally opened his mouth: "Yangzi, we haven't had enough to drink yet, and there's still so much to eat."

"Leave it for them to eat," Qin Yang said. "Brother Lin's lifelong event, maybe it will be solved tonight."

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Of course, listen to the wall!"

Hearing Qin Yang say this, Zhang Chao also became excited. He had done this kind of thing a lot before, and now he was going to repeat the happiness of those years!

"Yangzi, you are here? Chaozi, you are here too? Let's go, let's go to the meeting!" At this moment, Qin Baoguo appeared in front of the two.

"Meeting?" Qin Yang frowned: "Can't I not go?"

"Of course not, this is a major event related to the relocation of our factory!"

So, Qin Yang could only obediently follow his father to the meeting. In this era, there are endless meetings. The joy of eavesdropping, how nostalgic!

Everyone was already very familiar with each other, and Qin Yang had something to do, so after entering the conference room, Qin Yang went straight to the point.

"It is impossible for us to move to the main urban area of the capital. Don't even think about it. We won't squeeze with them. As long as we find a suitable space near the main urban area, the area must be large. Our factory will develop very quickly in the future." Qin Yang introduced according to his own ideas: "It is best if it used to be a factory and is now abandoned. We can even save on building factory buildings. If there is a steelmaking furnace, that would be even better."

"Steelmaking furnace?" Everyone was surprised again. We are a gun-making factory, what do we need a steelmaking furnace for? Moreover, the capital has one of the top steel groups in the country.

"We may need special steel in the future to make weapons. For confidentiality, it is most appropriate for us to smelt it ourselves," Qin Yang said.

"Speaking of this, I do remember a place. Near Shahe, there is a small steelmaking plant built during the Great Leap Forward in 1958. Now the factory has been abandoned. The conditions there are good, especially for storing iron ore and coke. There are large open-air warehouses, plus the nearby wasteland, estimated to be two or three hundred acres," Zhou Yongfei said: "It's just that it's a bit far from the main urban area…"

"Not far, not far, that's just right. We have to go and see it as soon as possible," Qin Yang said.

In the 1980s, the Third Ring Road had just been built. Shahe, which is 30 kilometers away from the center of the capital, was of course considered far away, but Qin Yang didn't care. No matter how far it is, it's still within the Sixth Ring. Even if the factory goes bankrupt in the future, the land will be very valuable.
