On this exceptionally hot summer, it feels like the snow line on the mountains is much higher than ever. After a dark and busy day, Weiss finally relentlessly gave himself a weekend, during which the internship research team led by Professor Xiao Yang was still busy carrying out exploration and exploration in various places. With the experience of the previous year, plus more manpower and better equipment, this time the harvest is even richer, and in order to encourage this kind of support from institutions of higher learning to the local area, the industrial department of the state government of Weissjan has formulated an incentive policy: if any higher education institution comes to Lorraine to carry out internship research, regardless of whether it has achieved results or not, a carriage fee will be given first, and those who have obtained results will be rewarded according to the quality and quantity of the results, and those who have more than three scientific research achievements will be given honorary citizenship of Lorraine. Individual tax exemptions and tax breaks for starting a business in Lorraine are available. In addition, he instructed the Ministry of Commerce to rationally formulate a subsidy program for middle and high-end talents to settle in Lorraine...... These modern talent introduction strategies have come to Orlens Planet ahead of schedule. While these policies mean that the federal government of Lorraine will be under unprecedented levels of spending pressure, Weiss is adamant that the investment will pay off in the long run.

When Weiss appeared in the camp with a shotgun on his shoulder, the greedy boys immediately cheered excitedly, because his arrival meant fat and delicious meat, but also meant more stories, which injected fresh impetus into the boring and arduous internship and research life.

"I thought you wouldn't have time to visit us for at least a few months." Professor Xiao Yang didn't mean to blame him, but it sounded a little sour. Weiss had only come to the expedition's camp during this time, and even if he had returned to the castle to visit the Lord and his wife and Little Candy, Professor Yang must have learned about this from his daughter.

"Maybe I shouldn't say I'm sorry, but I still have to say it. The job came a bit suddenly, and Lorraine was in the post-war transition period, so there were far more things to do than expected, and it took a lot of effort to get it right. If there were, I don't think I would have accepted Sir Wise's kindness and ended up getting myself such a big deal. Weiss sincerely admitted his "mistake" to Professor Yang.

"I don't mean to reproach you. You always have something to be busy with, and you should have your own career, in fact, since I became a professor, I have been too busy to take care of life many times, you see, I often leave the little candy to take care of you here? Everyone has their own value, and it's good to have the opportunity to prove your worth. This passage seemed to remind her of her deceased husband, although the tone was calm, but there was some grievance and helplessness in the meaning.

The two were relatively speechless, silent for a long time, understanding each other, tolerating each other, but in the end it was difficult to jump out of this worldly trouble. Next, they tacitly chose not to mention business, but to get along as usual. This time in the expedition camp, Weiss only stayed for two days, hunting, cooking, telling stories, and was loved by everyone; She listened quietly, enjoyed it carefully, often stopped what she was doing, and looked at the busy figure outside the tent in the tent. Time flies quickly, and this short reunion is time to part. Professor Xiao Yang said to Weiss: "If one of us is willing to sacrifice everything for the other one day, then let's be together!" ”

Weiss smiled and said goodbye to Professor Xiao Yang, feeling a sense of loss. Before this, he would never have thought that the two would officially confess their love in such a way, but this is different from a normal confession, only need to answer "I do", and the two can be together, but it requires one person to make a brave sacrifice and give up his hard-won career......

Back at Mason, the busy work started again, but for the next period of time, Weiss always had a strange feeling, as if he had accidentally left something, but he couldn't find it, so he simply used work to numb himself. On this day, it was finally time to call it a day, and the staff left work one after another, and only he and the cleaners were left in the huge office building. At this time, there was a knock on the door - in peacetime, there was only one fire prevention and anti-theft inspector in the state government office, no one set up a card check, the secretary got off work, and no one communicated on behalf of him...... Who could it be? Professor Xiao Yang? Sir Wise? Or is it the annoying Inspector I?

Weiss scratched his head and opened the door, and a fat figure stood in the doorway.

"Hey, Dragon Nephew! Look, I've been out on a long trip and come back to get good news from you, it's late, it's late! ”

Weiss was no stranger to the man, and greeted him with a smile. The two had a long history of in-depth cooperation, and after the end of the war, Weiss financed a series of projects for the Lorraine Industrialists Union and the Clumber-Haissen factory, and the bigwig was also an important driving force behind the scenes.

"Uncle Rudolph, your news is too late!" Weiss smiled and poured him tea.

"yes, I've been far enough out of the door this time, I've already walked out of the Federation. You know, once you cross a border, it's very slow. The fat middle-aged uncle explained.

"You went to Wessex?" Weiss speculated.

"Did you get the news, or did you guess?" He asked, sneering.

"Half guessing, half analyzing." Weiss responded, "You can't go to the Norman Empire, and the relationship between us is still very delicate. You probably don't have much interest in those small countries, and besides, the affairs of small countries usually don't bother a big man like you. After all, the only one who can make a trip for you is Wessex. But then again, President Egweed Grumman must have a close relationship with Wessex, right? ”

"Look! And voila! The fat middle-aged man sighed, "The person who becomes a governor is different, all the analysis is accurate, amazing, really powerful!" With our relationship, there is no need to hide it, and besides, my trip is also legal and there are no mistakes...... I did go to the kingdom of Wessex in the north. The Grumman family has quite a few investments in the North, quite a large investment, in fact. The war has brought a lot of losses, and the Grumman family is anxious to recoup the lost time, and lately there has been a lot of money, and all the big money is relying on the support of money, and as you know, the consortium is not an inexhaustible treasury, so our funds have been a little tight lately, and if we can integrate the northern line, it will be of great help to open up the situation. ”

"The Grumman Consortium will also be short of money, which is the weirdest thing I've ever heard!" Weiss said this deliberately, in fact, when he went to negotiate with the Grumman Group before, he could already feel that in order to establish and consolidate his position, the kid of Egweed invested more than the benchmark price of the market in all aspects, that is, spent extra money to do the same thing. In the long run, it will definitely bring financial pressure, but shouldn't the affairs of the north be handled by Egweed's side? It feels like Uncle Rudolph doesn't have a deep grudge against him, but the two of them can be regarded as a competitive relationship within the family, how did the two uncles and nephews get together again? Moreover, this cunning fat man has always been invaluable, and it was precisely because of his talent in firearms design that he had shown that he had invested in the Clumber-Haysen family that year, and that his investment in the Clumber-Haysen family had used his own private resources, and if it had not been for the impact of the war, this investment would have actually been rewarded by multiples, which is enough to prove his business vision.

"In fact, the lack of money is not a shortage of money, but there are a lot of debts receivable, and the money invested will not be turned into income and returned to the account so quickly, and it will be tight to invest on a large scale in the short term." Rudolph said in a calm manner. Immediately after, he pulled out a delicate box from his inner pocket, half a palm wide and slightly shorter than his little arm.

"The north is rich in crystals, and there is nothing else to bring, so I brought a crystal necklace, which is a congratulatory gift I gave you in advance."

Weiss didn't reach out to touch the box, but said with a smile: "Xinyi, I received it, but I can't accept it." ”

"Oh, you're mistaken." Rudolph quickly explained, "This is not a congratulatory gift for you to become governor, and I will not embarrass you." This is a wedding gift for my nephew! I've heard that you've found a very good lady. Although I have not met her in person, I think that with your talents, you must be a lady of extraordinary proportions worthy of you. I think that with your current status, you should be cautious and generous in your wedding, and you may be able to hold a grand banquet without any congratulatory gifts. On the day you get married, I won't give any other gifts, isn't that thoughtful? ”

After such a long gasp, Weiss almost pushed him out with a salute. But then again, he and Professor Xiao Yang can't make it back, and it is not reasonable to accept gifts from others when he first took office. Therefore, he refused again: "I have accepted your wishes, and I bother you to keep this gift for me, and wait for me to really get married, and then use it as a wedding gift, okay?" ”

Weiss looked serious and firm, and Rudolph probably just wanted to test a thing or two, so he smiled and nodded, and put things away.

"One of the reasons why I came today is to congratulate me. O dragon nephew! From the first day I met you, I knew you were a man who did great things, and I was right. The second is to talk about cooperation. Today, on behalf of not only the Grumman Foundation, but also the entire Grumman family, I would like to express to you our sincerity in helping the development of Lorraine industry. We are very optimistic about you as a young and positive young man as the governor of Lorraine, and we believe that under your leadership, Lorraine will usher in a golden period of development, so we are willing to invest more money, build more factories and carry out more cooperation in Lorraine. Of course, our investments are not everywhere, but have a clear direction...... The Grumman family has always been characterized by heavy industry and military industry, so we want to continue to integrate this direction into Lorraine's industrial development plan, and as far as we know, in Lorraine, we are the missing link in the whole industrial system, that is, in your amazing and imaginative planning, raw materials, metallurgy, casting, and mechanical engineering are all available, except for high-end military machinery, such as chariots, which we believe will come in the coming period. Combat vehicles will become the most important equipment of the ground forces. Of course, guns and artillery are still the basic equipment of the army, but their importance will be relatively reduced. In addition, we are happy to work with you, together with the Lorraine Industrialists Alliance, to challenge the Star Group as a leader in the flight manufacturing industry. It's not my decision, it's the decision of the entire Grumman family! ”

Weiss thought about it for a moment: "We are warmly welcome to anyone who comes to Lorraine to invest in industry, and Grumman is our old friend, and we are happy to embrace you with open arms." ”

Rudolph nodded again and again, and then said: "Third, it's a favor for Edwig, about the bidding for the individual machine gun project......

In fact, when he opened the door and saw this uncle, Weiss had already expected that this would be a topic of conversation today. The war has ended, but this does not mean that the military innovation has stopped there, and a large amount of battlefield experience, needs, and suggestions have been fed back to the high-level staff departments. Soon after the military top brass took their place, the first post-war tender for new equipment began. The subject of the tender was designated as a single machine gun. Despite the extraordinarily tight post-war budgets and the need to make substantial arrangements for the subsistence compensation of demobilized personnel and the reconstruction and repair of various military installations, the Federal Army managed to arrange a budget for the purchase of new standard weapons, the first batch of 5,000 and the second batch of 20,000-50,000, depending on the results. The unit price of the tender is within 5 gold kronor per unit in the first batch and 4 gold kronor in the second batch, and the winning bidder will also receive an additional R&D subsidy of 1,000 gold crown.

In Weiss's view, this was the opportunity for the Orense planet version of the AK47 to appear. Although with his skill accumulation and professional ability, he was unable to restore the AK47 in its original form, but when he concentrated on technology, his advantages as a "congenital prophet" were incomparable, and with the reconstruction of the firearms production line at the Clumberg-Heisen plant, the hardware for firearms technology research was already available. Before the deadline for the military's bidding, Weiss took a group of young technicians to complete the prototype gun, they still chose the 1.4PIR "small caliber", and used a different "intermediate bullet" from the ordinary pistol rifle bullet, the performance of the sample gun is similar to the AK-47, the key is that the combat mode of free switching between strafing and point fire is destined to kill all opponents in seconds. The design and development of the new weapon was almost closely integrated with the construction of the canal, and after the design was completed, he applied for patent protection as quickly as possible. This design patent is undoubtedly a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and of course it can also be sold as a golden chicken in exchange for a lot of cash.

Now that he had said that, Weiss talked a little with Uncle Rudolph about the situation of the sample gun submitted for trial. Although the uncle has transferred from the military industry to the financial industry, he has also heard a little about it. He doesn't know anything about others, but he is still very confident in Weiss's strength. So, he said, "Nephew Long, aside from the Grumman Group's relationship, my personal suggestion is to wait for this gun to win before talking to them about cooperation." I think that as long as it is an excellent firearm, the technical commissars of the military will definitely give a high evaluation, and their evaluation means the value of the design. Of course, you can also use this design patent as collateral to buy a new production line with a loan from a bank or a consortium, and meet the military's orders with your own ability, which is generally just a very good deal. ”

"If it weren't for Grumman's factor, I would have chosen to do it myself, but President Edweig Grumman is too young, and he put all his weight on the scales at once, forcing himself to the point where he has to win, which makes people a little worried......" Weiss didn't say a word later, dogs will jump off the wall when they are in a hurry, and people will do irrational things when they are in a hurry. Although he is now the governor of a state and looks very good, it can be seen from the small detail that Brooks and Uncle Rudolph can knock on the door that he is just a senior public servant, neither like the senior officers of the army who have the "natural protection" of the barracks and the army, nor like the wealthy and powerful people who "have their hands on the sky", not to mention that to promote the development of Lorraine, the more friends the better, and the fewer enemies the better. That's all the circulation of interests within the federation, so as not to cheapen people outside.
