Late at night, in the conference room of Chenguang Machinery Factory, the factory leaders and business backbones were meeting to discuss the sky-high orders from Hong Kong.

This is a pie falling from the sky, the intended contract amount is as high as tens of millions of yuan, and the other party asked Chenguang Factory to come up with a package of plans, from selection to modification, in the shortest possible time to provide foreign customers with 50 bulletproof four-wheel drive off-road transport vehicles.

This is an extremely difficult task, because the time given by Party A is very tight, the task is very heavy, and the price is also very low. The target of 10 million looks very high, in fact, the profit is pitiful, but the factory leaders still attach great importance to it, the contract involves a large amount of money, compress the cost, or see the profit, and this is the export business, and it is a heavy industry product completely different from the light industrial products such as rubber tapping knives, special vehicle modification is also the old business of the Chenguang Machinery Factory, during the Iran-Iraq war, many of the military vehicles galloping on the battlefield were transformed by the Chenguang Factory.

On the old-fashioned conference table, there are rows of teacups, stainless steel thermos cups, enamel tea jars printed with the factory logo, white porcelain cups with lids of the trade union, and more bottles and cans prepared by the masters, including wide-mouth canned bottles, large Nescafe coffee bottles, some with woolen insulation sleeves, and some with a thick layer of theophylline, which can no longer see the primary color of the glass.

There were also various cigarette cases on the table, most of them cheap cigarettes from local tobacco companies, ashtrays full of cigarette butts, and a miasma of smoke in the conference room, where the little girl who brought in the hot water was almost smoked.

It has to be said that this order aroused the ambition and strong interest of the Chenguang factory from the factory director to the grassroots workers, although the supply requirements are written as a four-wheel drive industrial and mining exploration multi-purpose tool vehicle in the tropics, but the weighted chassis, run-flat tires, can withstand the direct fire of 7.62mm rifle bullets, and the various requirements for setting up a rotating arc ring and anti-shield above the cockpit clearly confirm that they are not ordering a tool car, but an out-and-out copycat version of the wheeled armored vehicle.

It is said that it is a copycat version, that is because the price is too low, and the military-grade products will definitely not be this price, the unit price of the mine protection vehicle alone will be millions, and this kind of four-wheel drive vehicle that can fight and transport troops is more than 200,000 yuan, not to mention anything else, the cost of the chassis motor and special bulletproof steel plate alone is more than this price.

The old accountant of Chenguang Factory helped his eyes, dialed the abacus beads and said: "If all the requirements of the demand side are met, the unit price will be at least 500,000 yuan, and the cost of the purchased part cannot be suppressed. ”

"500,000, I'm afraid it's too high, and it's hard for the other party to accept it." Lu Tianming said.

"That's no way, there is only one way to reduce costs, increase the number of orders, and come to an order of 10,000 vehicles, I can definitely reduce the cost to 300,000." The old accountant took a sip of tea and made a conclusion beyond doubt.

"Old Deng, what can you do over there?" Lu Tianming set his sights on Deng Yunfeng, the workshop director of a workshop.

A workshop is a place where people gather in the factory, flexible minds and skilled workers are in a workshop, Deng Yunfeng, as the head of these masters, naturally has his superiority.

"Director Lu, I have an immature idea...... Deng Yunfeng said reservedly.

"Don't sell it, let's brainstorm, don't talk about maturity or immaturity, let's talk about it first." Lu Tianming encouraged.

"Well, I think so, this order is from a trading firm in Hong Kong, you can be sure that it is not a scam first, because people even called the advance payment first, this business is of great significance to our factory, I think no matter what, it must be next."

Deng Yunfeng talked eloquently, everyone listened attentively, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"But this Hong Kong trading house is just a middleman, I guess the end user should be an organization in Africa, Southeast Asia, or South America, or even a local warlord, but they are certainly not rich, and they are in urgent need of bulletproof vehicles, so they asked us to help them produce cheap and high-quality armored cars, which is an affirmation of our Chenguang factory, which shows that the reputation we made in the 80s is not outdated."

A round of applause rang out, and the old workers were full of red and radiant energy, and they were very useful to Deng Yunfeng's words.

Deng Yunfeng continued: "Since people are short of money, then follow the way to save money, our Chenguang people are not the kind of enterprises that are used to being lavish, and there is no shame in sewing and repairing for another three years, I just carefully read their requirements, and summed up three sentences, first, can run fast, second, can pull and move, third, can block bullets." ”

"These three sentences seem simple, it is not easy to achieve, first we have to choose a high-performance, leather and durable chassis, it is best to match a high-power diesel engine, the structure is simple and easy to maintain, and then the problem of bulletproof, this is the top priority, if it is only the purchase of military cars, people will not look for us, what Humvee, Land Rover is afraid of not being able to buy, it is really not possible to buy a few Toyota pickup trucks can make do, since people are looking for us, they are going to spend the price of civilian vehicles, buy military armored vehicles."

Speaking of this, Deng Yunfeng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and a young technician took advantage of this gap to shout: "I want to buy an armored car for 200,000 yuan, it's too picky!" The world's mainstream armored vehicles, which are not millions of dollars. ”

Deng Yunfeng unhurriedly spit out the tea leaves in his mouth and said: "They are all oppressed class brothers in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and we must not stand idly by if we can help." ”

"Old Deng, tell me your solution." Lu Tianming said confidently, seeing Deng Yunfeng reaching out for a cigarette, he specially threw his Hongta Mountain over: "Smoke mine." ”

Deng Yunfeng lit a cigarette and continued: "My opinion is that the local law is on the horse, first solve the problem, other problems can be slowed down, this kind of armored car should have a powerful appearance, it is best to be reminiscent of some kind of world-famous armored car, as for the problem of armored steel plate, you can ask for help like the Hongqi Factory, if the cost can not be suppressed, only use bulletproof steel plate in key positions, and use civilian soft steel in the rest of the parts, or work the shape angle, and the large inclination angle can enhance the bulletproof effect." ”

"Director Deng's opinion is very good, the three stinkers rushed to Zhuge Liang, everyone brainstormed, seriously thought about how to do a good job of this armored car, and strive for customers to come to the factory to inspect the sample car, in terms of price, the business department will talk to them again, and strive to raise the price." Lu Tianming said, looked at his watch and saw that it was already late at night, and then said: "It's not early, everyone go back to rest early, don't be late tomorrow." ”

Engineers, technicians and senior technicians holding teacups and wearing coats, went out in twos and threes, the factory avenue was sprinkled with bright moonlight, the shadows of the trees on both sides were swaying, a gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled, the old man of the doorman was dressed in work clothes, looking at the colleagues who got off work so late, and couldn't help but think of the hot eighties, at that time and now, the workshop was in three shifts, the machine roared all night, and the workshop cadres and factory leaders always got off work very late.

Dad and a few co-workers went home all the way, the old guys talked loudly, and when they got downstairs, they didn't want to enter the house, and they smoked cigarettes at the door of the unit and chatted for more than ten minutes, until one of them's wife called to urge them to disperse.

When I got home, my father didn't wash and rest, but plunged into the study, took a drawing tablet and a pencil on paper and began to sketch the lines of the armored car, and the tea sent by my mother was cold and poured, poured and cold, and before I knew it, an hour had passed.

"I think the canopy can be removed and made into a canvas that can be removed." There was a son's voice behind him, and when his father looked back, Liu Ziguang was standing behind him with a smile on his clothes, stretching his head to admire the sketch.

"What do you know, hurry up and go back to sleep, this is an export-oriented special car, the factory has to brainstorm, don't bother me to design." Dad couldn't help but push Liu Ziguang out Liu Ziguang stood at the door and smiled helplessly, I haven't seen my father so serious for a long time, in fact, my father was a very research-minded worker when he was young, and he went to study at night, and engaged in Xiao Ming's creation, and then the factory gradually declined, and the spirit of the people also withered, and the drawing tools were bought in the eighties, and they were hidden under the bed for more than 30 years, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

I didn't expect that my own order actually set off an uproar, Chenguang Factory at least has to toss for half a year, Ruifeng Foreign Company is a trading company under Redstone Holdings, registered in Hong Kong, convenient and can save a lot of trouble, the price of the Heart of Asia has been paid in place, after removing the more than two million commissions paid to the auction house, there are still 17 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, this money will be used to arm Chen Martin's Caye army.

Liu Ziguang is convinced that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, as long as Martin can shine in the Liberation War in West Sadamoya, then his position in the cabinet will be indispensable in the future, and Chen Martin will sit firmly in the position, then his manor and minerals will naturally have no worries, and he can open as he wants when the time comes.

But it is really impossible to win a war with only more than 10 million US dollars, modern war is actually a money-burning business, especially in the magical land of the African continent, black people are born with a romantic quality, and even fighting a war has become a kind of performance art, usually a battle down, the two sides of the war have knocked out tens of thousands of bullets, and there are zero casualties, automatic rifles are thirty firecrackers in their hands, pRg is a large firecracker in their hands, war is in their minds, It's nothing more than a bloody carnival.

Therefore, Liu Ziguang did not plan to equip these black soldiers with high-precision weapons, he wanted to use the least expense to achieve the best effect, which is the origin of the 10 million order of Chenguang Factory.
