Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Qin Yang looked curiously at the foreigners. They were well-dressed in suits, tall and sturdy, and looked quite conspicuous. He had been too busy bragging earlier and hadn't noticed their arrival.

"Mr. Zelafikus?" Yu Changhong recognized him first. They had visited Steyr Company during their inspection in Europe, but it was just a fleeting visit, and they didn't get a detailed understanding. After all, everyone's attention was focused on Benz heavy trucks at the time.

"Yes, I am the person in charge of bidding sent by Steyr Company," Zelafikus said.

Everyone felt very embarrassed. They were here to pick up people from the airport, but who would have thought that the guests would take the initiative to come over? However, they were told to pick up from the transport plane, who would have thought that people from Steyr Company would get off the passenger plane!

But thinking about it, it made sense. Bidding required vehicles and people. These people couldn't come on a transport plane; they had to take a passenger plane. It was just a matter of timing.

At this moment, Zelafikus looked at the young Qin Yang while speaking: "This gentleman, are you so familiar with our Steyr Company?"

"Yes, we are in the same industry. My name is Qin Yang, from a certain domestic gun manufacturing factory."

Fluent English came out of Qin Yang's mouth. The factory directors who had been chatting and laughing with him were stunned. This young man could speak English?

Zelafikus on the other side was also very happy: "It's great to be able to communicate directly without a translator! No wonder you are so familiar with us; it turns out you also manufacture guns."

In fact, the official language of Austria is German, but as long as they are not from remote rural areas of Austria, they can definitely speak English. They learn English as a basic foreign language when they are in school.

"Yes, I also speak German, but not as fluently," Qin Yang replied: "How many sample vehicles did you bring this time?"

Domestic trucks have very few models. For example, the old Jiefang has been produced for decades, but foreign trucks are different.

Take the Steyr 91 series that is currently being bid on, for example. It has 15 basic models, with a total vehicle weight from 16 tons to 40 tons. There are 19 engines and 44 cabs to choose from, with up to 328 variations, which can meet various needs.

"We brought four sample vehicles," Zelafikus said: "Three civilian vehicles and one military vehicle. For the military vehicle, we use a 6*6 drive mode and match it with a V8 engine…"

While speaking, the roar of the plane came, and the cargo plane began to land.

Everyone widened their eyes, watching the Steyr trucks coming down from the cargo plane: the angular cab, the thick tires, the brand-new paint, it looked really good!

"This heavy truck has a unique operation method. I wonder if Mr. Zelafikus knows it," Qin Yang said with a smile while the customs officers were inspecting the equipment.

"Oh? What's the trick?"

"In addition to stepping on the clutch when starting, you don't need to step on the clutch during normal driving to complete the gear shifting operation."

"What?"

For experienced drivers, shifting gears without stepping on the clutch is definitely a common operation, especially domestic experienced drivers driving Steyr trucks have practiced this technique to perfection, even Austrians have to give a thumbs up.

"Do you want to go up and see how I operate it?" Qin Yang pointed to the 6*6 military vehicle and said.

The spacious cab could accommodate three people. Zelafikus and his assistant sat up, watching Qin Yang skillfully start the vehicle. After waiting a few minutes to warm up the engine, he started driving.

Step on the clutch, wait two seconds, shift gears, release the brake, accelerate, everything was leisurely, Qin Yang started smoothly, just like an experienced driver driving the vehicle.

"Good, your technique is very good," Zelafikus nodded, looking at Qin Yang's left leg. So, Qin Yang raised his left leg and stepped on the seat.

After starting, the left leg could rest!

Accelerate, speed up, release the accelerator!

At the moment of releasing the accelerator, Qin Yang's right hand skillfully pulled the gear lever, disengaging the gear, and then, skillfully shifting to third gear, continuing to step on the accelerator!

The V8 engine provided strong power. Shifting gears in an empty car could completely skip to one, three, and five. Although the clutch was not stepped on, the gearbox did not make any noise, and the car did not jolt, it was incredibly smooth!

Amazing!

"Good, good technique!" Zelafikus said with emotion: "You not only understand the technology, but you are also an experienced driver!"

Qin Yang smiled helplessly. An experienced driver? In this day and age, where are the experienced drivers who eat peanuts!

The Steyr military vehicle roared and drove away. Tang Changhong and others were a little stunned: "How did he drive the car away?"

"Where did he drive the car?"

"Hurry up and chase after him!"

The other people got into the car in a hurry, but they had never driven it before, and their hands and feet were not skilled. The car they came in was outside, and they couldn't contact it in time. By the time the other cars drove out, the first car had disappeared without a trace!

Somewhere in the capital, the state banquet hall.

Leader Rao looked at the layout of the scene: "Good, during this period of heavy truck bidding, the personnel from the heavy truck manufacturers who came to bid will eat and live here! Steyr Company is the most enthusiastic, and we must treat them enthusiastically."

After receiving the guests at the airport, they immediately notified here by phone. Although it was a bit hasty, the reception was quickly arranged.

"Report, Leader Rao." At this moment, the secretary ran in in a hurry: "Something happened."

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Zelafikus, the person in charge of the bidding team sent by Steyr Company, and his assistant, were abducted by Engineer Qin from Factory 960!"

Abducted?

Leader Rao was stunned: "How is that possible?"

After listening to the secretary's introduction, Leader Rao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This reckless youth! I don't understand what's going on with Lao Wang, letting this reckless youth who hasn't even grown his hair participate in our heavy truck import project. This is a joke! Send someone to contact Factory 960, he must have abducted the people to Factory 960!"

Achoo!

Qin Yang sneezed.

At this time, he had one hand on the steering wheel, one hand on the gear lever, and his feet were constantly adding and subtracting the accelerator to switch gears. At the same time, he was chatting with Zelafikus, and unknowingly, his stomach began to growl.

Qin Yang looked around and saw a small restaurant in the distance with a sign that read "Old Brand Zhajiangmian".

"Mr. Zelafikus, how about I take you to taste the special cuisine of the capital?"

"Okay," Zelafikus nodded.

When this heavy truck without a license plate was parked swaggeringly next to the small street shop, it attracted a lot of onlookers. When the foreigners came down from it, they became even more curious.

Qin Yang didn't care, and led the two into the small shop.

"Waiter, bring three bowls of authentic old capital zhajiangmian, guo san tiaoshui, and get all seven dishes and eight bowls! We are entertaining foreigners, so we can't be careless, and we can't lose face for the Chinese people. Diplomacy is no small matter!"

Qin Yang's words frightened the waiter. He didn't dare to mention anything about paying first or food stamps. He quickly brought tea and water to serve them.

Soon, the zhajiangmian was served.

"It's a bit like spaghetti, but these small dishes of vegetables and sauces are very special." Looking at the zhajiangmian brought in front of him, Zelafikus began to comment.

"The taste is completely different. You'll know when you taste it. Don't look down on this small restaurant. The smaller the place, the more authentic it is. Let's put these side dishes into the noodles first!"

While Qin Yang was taking the foreigners to eat zhajiangmian, in the state banquet hall, Leader Rao was listening to his subordinates' report with a gloomy face: "What, Factory 960 doesn't have them either? Good, this reckless youth is really capable. Where did he abduct the people to? Coordinate with the public security department, dig three feet into the ground and find him for me, but be careful not to disturb others!"
