Chapter 26: Weapons
After a period of observation, Cui Hongxin finally stayed in the steel plant, Jiang Zhibin entered the newly created weapons factory, and Xu Jinwen also temporarily stayed in the steel plant and became the captain of the machinery and equipment manufacturing team.
At present, there is still a situation where one factory wears multiple hats. Steel mills are responsible for both manufacturing equipment and smelting steel. The same is true for cement plants, which are responsible for both the production of cement and the construction. Although there is no chaos with the current scale of the factory, if the scale is further expanded, the disadvantages of such a model will become more and more obvious.
Therefore, Gu Shuhan has already made plans for the two factories, and is ready to separate the construction team of the cement plant and the equipment manufacturing team of the steel plant when the second round of expansion is carried out later, and Xu Jinwen is the person in charge of the equipment manufacturing plant she is optimistic about. Jiang Zhibin was proficient in weapons research and development, and he was able to endure it, so he transferred him to the weapons manufacturing factory, which was a ready-made manager. As for Cui Hongxin, his essence lies in the study of various types of steel. Gu Shuhan put him in the position of the captain of the production team of the steel plant, and had no plans to further promote him for the time being.
Today, in the steel plant, Director Zheng is in charge of smelting steel, and Deputy Director Zhang Wen is in charge of personnel transfer and machinery and equipment manufacturing. Xu Jinwen, as the head of the equipment manufacturing team, is directly responsible to Zhang Wen. Cui Hongxin is the captain of the production team, and there is a general captain above, and the director of Zheng is above.
Let Cui Hongxin be the captain of the detachment, which also means that he should first experience at the grassroots level. At present, it seems that Cui Hongxin has the lowest position among the three, but this does not mean that Gu Shuhan does not attach importance to him, on the contrary, Gu Shuhan attaches more importance to him than the other two.
Actually, this is not difficult to understand. The scale of the steel plant is now the largest among several factories, and the steel plant is also the foundation of Gu Shuhan's future business, so it is natural to be extra cautious.
Cui Hongxin has long been famous in China, and has also made several research results, and Gu Shuhan is not worried about his professionalism. Gu Shuhan decided to observe him for a period of time, and if he had a reliable character and strong management ability as well as his professionalism, he would train him to become the successor of Director Zheng. After all, Director Zheng is very old, and his physical condition is not very good, as the owner, Gu Shuhan has to think more.
Cui Hongxin is not a particularly calm and self-contained person, and he also has some impulsiveness unique to young intellectuals, and his temper is easy to get angry. But perhaps it was the first day he came to Gu's factory that moved him by what he saw, and even though he knew that he did not take up an important position when he first arrived like his friends, he did not resent, but did his own thing steadily, using his spare time to discuss technology with the senior craftsmen and workers in the factory.
The atmosphere of Gu's factory really affected him, infected him, and changed him. At the same time, the workers and technicians in the factory were also influenced by him, and their horizons became much broader, making up for the lack of systematic knowledge, and the way of thinking was no longer as single as before. Director Zheng saw that Cui Hongxin was working hard and diligently, never taking a big deal, and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses with the employees in the factory, and he was also quite satisfied.
When Gu Shuhan occasionally came to inspect Gu's Iron and Steel Plant, he saw that Cui Hongxin was like a fish in water in his current position, and he got along well with the people around him, and even his quick temper was worn down a lot, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.
Nowadays, the orders received by Gu's Iron and Steel Plant are no longer as petty as before, and the amount of cash involved in the order is often hundreds of thousands of millions of oceans, and Gu's Iron and Steel Plant has certain specifications. Because Gu's Iron and Steel Plant has always adhered to the high-quality route, and because the scene of beating foreign factories with excellent quality is too impressive, the factory has established a preliminary reputation.
The development of the steel plant has been on schedule, and Gu Shuhan has nothing to worry about, and soon, she set her sights on the weapons factory.
After completing Qin Lao's steel knife order, Gu's Weapons Factory immediately received several large orders, and now, it can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in City B.
The Gu's Arms Factory signed a contract with the government, and the best batch of weapons produced would be sold to the government at a relatively favorable price, and the inferior ones would be sold to other forces by people sent by the government, and the government would get 20 percent of the net profits and 80 percent of the profits from the Gu factory.
Regarding the matter of giving profits to the government, Gu Shuhan was not dissatisfied. Arms trading has to face either two dealers or major military forces at home and abroad, selling to the former will inevitably be subject to lower prices, and after all, it will not become a scale, if you want to sell to the latter, Gu's factory does not have such connections, and the danger is greatly increased.
Looking at today's market, the arms dealers who can sell weapons on the fringes of various countries without being eaten up and swallowed up are all people with strong backgrounds, and compared with these predators, Gu's Arms Factory is like an immature baby, vulnerable. With the backing of the Southern Government, he has found a guarantee for himself, and at the same time, the resources and connections of the Southern Government can also be used by Gu's Factory, and the price paid is worth it compared to the benefits that can be obtained.
What is even more rare is that the share demanded by the southern government is not excessive, and it is still within the expected range of Gu Shuhan. It can be said that this is completely a mutually beneficial transaction, and Gu Shuhan can't think of any reason to refuse.
It's just that the only thing she didn't expect was ......
"The person sent by the government to contact me is actually you." Gu Shuhan looked at Bai Yu, who was dressed in formal clothes and walked in front of him, and said.
Strictly speaking, Bai Yu is not a politician, after all, he chose to do business rather than politics. However, his background has given him a strong imprint of the southern government, and he has always had a very close relationship with the government since he started business, and most officials trust him. Therefore, it was not surprising that the government would send him to cooperate with her.
"I thought you'd be more likely to work with an old acquaintance like me than with someone you'd like to work with a complete stranger."
"Yes, at least I want the person I work with is a reasonable person." Obviously, Bai Yu is in this category.
"I'm very happy to be able to work with Miss Gu again." Bai Yu looked at Gu Shuhan carefully: "Miss Gu has always called Miss Gu, it seems to be too outspoken, can I call your name directly?" ”
"You feel free."
"So, Gu ...... Shu Han, in the future, you can also call me by my name. ”
"I thought, this is my freedom." Gu Shuhan lightly refused: "Okay, working hours, let's not say anything else." Bai Shao came this time to get a weapon sample from me, right? ”
Seeing that Gu Shuhan diverted the topic to work in a few words, Bai Yu was also out of line. Nowadays, he has many cooperation projects with Gu Shuhan, and it can be said that there are definitely many opportunities to get along. But Gu Shuhan would never talk to Bai Yu about personal matters during his work hours, so although Bai Yu had a good impression of Gu Shuhan, and although he was also close to the water, he couldn't even get a moon shadow.
Bai Yu knew that if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that it would cause Gu Shuhan's boredom, so he didn't insist anymore, and followed Gu Shuhan's topic and said: "That's right, I heard that the cannon of Gu's Weapons Factory has been developed, and I will bring the sample back." You know, the European theater is in dire need of weapons, and this may be a good opportunity for us. ”
Gu Shuhan raised his eyebrows and was noncommittal: "This time this field is developing a self-propelled howitzer, the best level howitzer manufactured by our factory, the filled ammunition is a mixture of TNT and other materials, with a range of 25 kilometers; Howitzers of the inferior class, the firing range varies from 14 to 17 km. ”
When Gu's Iron and Steel Factory made these weapons, it was not made indiscriminately. To the government of the South, naturally, it is necessary to do everything in its power to manufacture it with the best materials and to reload it with the best ammunition. Those intended for sale elsewhere are made with reference to the current level of prevailing arms manufacturing.
Those weapons are enough as long as they are equal or lower in terms of sexual performance than the best weapons in the world today. They can sell at a high price and make a good profit without threatening themselves.
"Really?" Bai Yu's eyes lit up: "Can I take a look?" ”
"Of course, please come with me, this is not the place where the finished cannon is placed."
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Yu gently stroked the cannon body, his eyes full of admiration.
Gu Shuhan took another steel knife from the side and handed it to him: "This is a steel knife produced at your request, the Rockwell hardness is between sixty and sixty-four, and the impurity content is a little more, which is inferior to the last time it was given to Qin Lao." You can take the sample back today, and if you have negotiated with a third party, you can come to Gu's factory to pick up the goods at any time. ”
Bai Yu did not doubt the quality of these weapons produced by the Gu factory. After several incidents, he had long been convinced of Gu Shuhan's ability.
"Then, I'll have people take these samples in a moment."
Gu Shuhan nodded and didn't say anything more.
Bai Yu was about to say something more to her, but suddenly paused. From Bai Yu's point of view, you can clearly see the tiredness she hides.
In a short period of time, she was able to produce such a high-performance cannon, during which she was in charge of crude oil extraction and oil refining, and at the same time, the development of steel and cement factories did not stop. Everything needs to be asked about by her, everything needs her to worry about, presumably she is not tired, but she just hides this tiredness.
She is burdened with too many people's expectations. Under the aura of miracles, many people have forgotten that she is just a twenty-year-old woman.
Bai Yu paused and said, "Although work is important, you should also pay attention to rest. ”
There was a hint of concern in his eyes, Gu Shuhan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay." ”
