Chapter 54: Red Star International Security Company
As the first formal meeting of the core members of the security department of Tiangong Smelter, Yang Weiping deliberately let Xiang Yang go downstairs and invited Qiu Fang to attend.
Before the meeting began, Xiang Rong very solemnly reintroduced the 12 veterans who were sitting on both sides of the conference table with their chests held high and solemn in a standard military posture.
Tu Zhiqiang, 45 years old, former deputy platoon commander of a reconnaissance company of a certain volunteer army, proficient in all conventional firearms, accurate marksmanship, and a pioneer in every battle;
Zhang Shufang, 42 years old, was the deputy squad leader of the second platoon of the reconnaissance company of a certain volunteer army, a sniper, and the total number of enemies who died under his gun exceeded 150;
Guo Yongjun, 43 years old, former deputy squad leader of the second platoon of a reconnaissance company of a certain volunteer army, machine gunner, is very proficient in Soviet-made, American-made light and heavy machine guns;
Sun Changzheng, 42 years old, a soldier of the second squad of the third platoon of a reconnaissance company of a former volunteer army, an engineer, proficient in all kinds of explosives, good at making all kinds of bombs;
Xiao Hongquan, 41 years old, a former medical soldier of a reconnaissance company of the Volunteer Army, proficient in battlefield ambulance, family traditional Chinese medicine, proficient in fighting and using various bows and crossbows, and also good at surgery;
Xu Xinmin, 42 years old, a platoon and squad soldier of a reconnaissance company of a former volunteer army, artilleryman, proficient in mortars of various calibers, good at driving all kinds of vehicles, including tanks and armored vehicles;
……
The other six are Li Anmin, Yuan Weiguo, Tang Zhenzhong, Zhao Xianghong, Peng Jizhong, Liu Zhiguo, everyone has a unique skill, and they are all good at grappling and fighting, battlefield reconnaissance and capture.
Every time Xiang Rong was introduced, the veteran would stand up solemnly and salute Yang Wei in parallel.
After learning in detail about the net worth background and skills of the twelve veterans in front of him, Yang Weiping couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart that he had picked up a treasure, if these people were not forced to retire because they violated battlefield discipline, they would definitely be active elite soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army now, how could it be his turn to get this big bargain.
Because these veterans are the same as Xiang Rong and Xiangyang, a disgraceful punishment record has been recorded in the files, and with the national conditions of China at that time, the situation after returning to their hometown can be imagined.
Not only did he have no work arrangement, but he also had to silently endure the white eyes and cynicism of the villagers. In addition to their ability to kill, their skills to make a living are too far behind.
Like Xu Xinmin, who is good at driving all kinds of vehicles, after returning to his hometown, he can't even drive a tractor, so he can only do rough work with his strength like ordinary farmers, which is really a waste of human resources.
At the same time, this also reflects that the Chinese People's Liberation Army is indeed full of talents, and it is worthy of being known as the first army in the world.
With this group of new forces joining, Yang Weiping felt that it was really inappropriate to have another security section. After careful consideration, it was decided to formally establish a security company. Thinking that at this time, the Blackwater Company in the United States seemed to have been formed, and Yang Weiping did not hesitate to name the security company Red Star International Security Company.
Regardless of Xiang Rong Xiangyang's opinion, Yang Weiping directly appointed Qiu Fang as the general manager of Red Star International Security Company, and he himself served as the chairman.
The registered capital of Red Star Company was planned to be 2 million US dollars, and the Xiangrong and Xiangyang brothers each held 3.5 percent of the shares, Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and other 12 people each shared 1.5 percent of the shares, Qiu Fang was hard-boiled by Yang Weiping 10 percent of the shares, and the remaining shares were held by Yang Weiping alone, with absolute control.
Tu Zhiqiang has nothing to do now, each of them has 30,000 US dollars in the company's equity, although they don't understand what a share is, but Xiang Rong explained to them that they each now have a net worth of 30,000 US dollars, which of course makes them a little scared.
As the so-called merit is not punished, Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and others insist on life and death and refuse to accept it. …,
After Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and the others had made their reasons clear, Yang Weiping glanced around at everyone present with a look of relief, and said slowly with an extremely solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I decided to establish this security company was not because of impulse or imtemporary, but because I had already considered it when I bought this smelter.
Because our domestic environment is too complex and there are various policy restrictions, I will bring Ah Rong Ah Yang to Hong Kong to work hard. Everything I am doing now is to lay the foundation for our country's future industrialization process and aerospace and defense undertakings, and to prepare for technical reserves.
Ten years of turmoil have brought many scientific research projects in our country to a standstill, and we have lagged behind the scientific research standards of the developed countries in Europe and the United States by at least 50 years! Although the central leadership has now begun to bring things out of order, this will require a process. I can't wait, not a day, not a minute! That's why I made up my mind to come to Hong Kong and go it alone!
There are no outsiders here, and I will also tell you the bottom line, now this smelter has stored a number of precision machine tools that are vital to our country's industrialization process! Moreover, during this time, I have successfully researched a new type of aluminum-lithium alloy that leads the world's first-class scientific and technological level!
This new alloy can not only reduce the weight of our country's self-developed fighter planes, but also can be applied to our missiles, carrier rockets, satellites, and other cutting-edge scientific and technological fields. You are all veterans, and I'm sure you all understand the importance of secrecy. For the sake of our country's future national defense, I need you to protect the equipment and laboratories here with your lives! Now, I give you a chance, and if you want to quit, you can choose to quit now!"
Seeing that none of the people present got up and withdrew, Yang Weiping's eyes swept over the faces of Xiang Rong, Xiang Yang, Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and others one by one with a solemn look, and said in a deep voice: "Very good! Since everyone has chosen to stay, then, here, I solemnly ask you, can you promise me that you will use your lives to defend the future national defense cause of the country and the nation, even if it is to pay your lives for this, you will not hesitate!?"
"Yes!" Xiang Rong, Xiang Yang, Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and other fourteen men stood up together, stood upright, looked firm, and replied in unison.
As the only woman present, Qiu Fang looked a little at a loss at this moment. She has never been in the army, but she still knows a little bit about the country and national righteousness. Thinking that this was Yang Weiping's request, she owed him one life anyway, no, it was two lives!
So, after these men all simply expressed their stance firmly, Qiu Fang also stood up and shouted, "I can too!"
The eyes of everyone present turned to Qiu Fang's face with recognition.
No one was amused by her "I can too", and everyone knew very well that this was a promise made at the cost of their lives, and it was definitely not a joke!
Seeing Qiu Fang's solemn and solemn expression, Yang Weiping's eyes softened, smiled at Qiu Fang and nodded, and then pressed his hands weakly and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"We are all doing our duty and doing our best for the country's future national defense at the cost of our lives. As the saying goes, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, and we can't do such things if the horses want to run and don't let the horses graze. Yang Weiping said solemnly: "In order to let everyone put aside all the negative but devote themselves to the upcoming security work, therefore, you should all be at ease with these shares I have distributed to everyone!"
Hearing Yang Weiping's words on this, Tu Zhiqiang, Zhang Shufang and others naturally no longer insisted on refusing. It's just that they still feel that their lives are too expensive. …,
The boss had already given each of them a settling-in allowance of 10,000 yuan, and promised to send 1,000 yuan to their family every month in the future, and now he gave them shares worth 30,000 US dollars.
You must know that this is the 70s, 10,000 yuan, for the Chinese people, it is definitely a huge amount of money that can scare people to death!
After establishing the composition of the shareholders and board of directors of Red Star Security, Yang Weiping then made specific arrangements for various departments of the company.
Chairman: Yang Weiping;
General Manager: Qiu Fang;
Executive Deputy General Manager: Xiang Rong;
Deputy General Manager: Xiang Yang;
Executive Director: Tu Zhiqiang;
Security Brigade Captain: Xiang Rong,
Deputy captains: Xiang Yang, Tu Zhiqiang;
Captain of the first squadron: Zhang Shufang, deputy captain: Guo Yongjun, Sun Changzheng;
Second Squadron Captain: Xiao Hongquan, Deputy Captain: Xu Xinmin, Yuan Weiguo;
Captain of the third squadron: Li Anmin, deputy captain: Tang Zhenzhong, Zhao Xianghong;
Instructor group leader: Peng Jizhong, deputy team leader: Liu Zhiguo.
The current strength of the security brigade is 240 people, divided into three squadrons, each squadron of 80 people. In the future, each squadron may be expanded to a maximum of 126 personnel (company level) depending on the situation
That is, from this day on, the "Red Star International Security Company", which still has the brand of the security team of the security department of the Tiangong Smelter, has conducted relatively formal paramilitary training for the 300 young and strong workers newly recruited by the factory.
Considering that Hong Kong is currently the territory of the British, Yang Weiping did not dare to completely copy the training model of the Chinese army, and in the early stage, the four main training subjects were physical fitness, queue, fighting, and discipline.
In this way, these 300 Hong Kong young people can be tossed enough. Although everyone is miserable and complaining, considering the generous treatment and benefits provided by the factory, everyone gritted their teeth and insisted, and the right was to exercise with their wages.
In addition to the training, Yang Weiping personally presided over the speech and training of corporate culture, and strengthened the sense of belonging and honor of this group of Hong Kong young people to the factory in a subtle way.
Three months later, Yang Weiping felt that the factory had a certain degree of self-protection ability, and on January 1, 1977, through a law firm in Hong Kong, he applied for the registration of a global patent for 1040 aluminum-lithium alloy.
On the same day, through "Ming Pao", it exclusively reported the news that Hong Kong Tiangong Smelter had independently developed the second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy with technological innovation.
Suddenly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves!
Hong Kong, such a small place, has actually developed the most mature second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy in the world today! This immediately caused strong repercussions from the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, France, and other countries that have invested huge sums of money in the research and development of second-generation aluminum-lithium alloys.
The British government was the first to respond, and immediately instructed the British Governor's Office in Hong Kong to confirm the results of this technique.
