The import and export company jointly funded by Xinguang Factory, Zhenxing Company and Red Star Tractor Manufacturing Factory was established.

After negotiations, the final plan is that the new Guangming Factory, that is, the Guangming Machinery Manufacturing Factory, which will be transferred to the local Guangming Machinery Manufacturing Factory after the divestment of the Asian Tiger Tank Project and related military business, will be based on the divestment of assets, and the joint revitalization company and the Red Star Tractor Manufacturing Plant will establish a ground defense company with tank development capabilities and precision machinery import and export qualifications.

Xinguang Factory accounted for 45 percent of the shares, Zhenxing Company accounted for 35 percent of the shares, and Li Lu invested in the Red Star Import and Export Company and invested 10 million yuan to obtain 20 percent of the shares. Although Li Lu has the least equity, he will be responsible for the specific operation control of the enterprise.

The new enterprise was named Red Star Ground Defense.

In other words, in this way, Li Lu obtained a ticket to get involved in armaments manufacturing. On the surface, Li Lu was wronged, not only threw into an import and export company, but also invested 10 million yuan. However, compared with the precious military manufacturing license, the investment of 10 million yuan is simply insignificant.

The foundation of the Red Star Ground Defense Company is the Asian Tiger Tank Project, and only on the basis of the Asian Tiger Tank Project can the Red Star Ground Defense Company have the need to exist, and Li Lu can also take this ride.

The new Guangming Factory hopes to obtain foreign exchange through the export products of Red Star Defense, and at the root of it, Wang Jiaqing will not give up the import and export qualifications, and the revitalization company is a representative of the old Guangming Factory, and also hopes to export some military machinery with the help of Red Star Defense Company to obtain harvest.

The original intention of the Asian Tiger tank project was to export and supply countries under the standard agreement on 105 mm caliber artillery.

The unanimous appeal gave Li Lu a license to develop military equipment. He knew that if he didn't have the opportunity to get a license in the past few years, it would be more difficult to get a license in the future, and in a dozen years, all the doors would be closed, and he would really have to build tractors.

The original Red Star Import and Export Company and the old Guangming Factory's department in charge of import and export business have completed the integration and are working in the Red Building, while the research and development business and assets that have belonged to the Red Star Ground Defense Company are still in the Guangming Factory, including the first workshop, the second parts factory, the third warehouse, the special steelmaking plant and all the personnel of the Asian Tiger Tank project.

In this way, the cooperation object of the foreign technical team led by Chrysler Defense Company has changed from Guangming Factory to Red Star Ground Defense Company, which Li Lu is responsible for managing and operating.

The subsequent signing of the contract also announced that the handover of the Guangming Factory had entered the final moment.

On the morning of this day, a workers' meeting was held in the auditorium of Guangming Factory, and military and local leaders attended the meeting to announce the handover.

Li Lu is still the section chief of the security department of the Guangming Factory, and after he came back, Wang Jiaqing immediately removed his adverbial, and at the same time changed from an employee to a cadre, but he was already a local cadre.

In addition to the necessary personnel on duty, more than 60 people who guarded the department followed Li Lu to attend the meeting. The large auditorium, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, resembles the Great Hall of the People, is full of people.

Li Lu sat with the middle-level cadres in the factory, and he could finally sit on an equal footing with the heads of various departments.

Pei Lei beside him was whispering to him to introduce the leaders who kept walking on the stage to lead the seats.

"On the right side of the middle is the senior official in charge of industry, and on the left is the leader of the General Rear Department. On the side of the senior officials, there are the leaders of the Provincial Machinery Industry Department, the leaders of the Lugang Prefectural Committee and the Commissioner's Office, and you can also see the leaders of the troops, all of whom are responsible persons of relevant departments of the army. Hehe, the level is not low, our factory director Wang and the factory leaders can only sit in the second row. Pei Lei smiled.

Li Ludao, "Pei Gong, look at this situation, the leadership team of the new Guangming Factory has been determined. But why hasn't your appointment come down yet? ”

Pei Lei shook his head and said, "I still have to stay in the Asian Tiger Tank Project, and I am still the head of the technical section for the time being." Director Wang talked to me that Xinguang Factory should learn from the advanced experience of foreign companies and set up a research and development center, and let me be responsible. ”

Li Lu said with a smile, "Pei Gong, you just stay in Red Star Defense, and I'll pay you a salary." ”

"Hahaha, isn't the root of Red Star Defense the Asian Tiger tank project, there is no difference." Pei Lei said with a smile, "Besides, the establishment of Red Star Defense is no different from that of Xinguang Factory, both of which are state-owned enterprises." ”

"Strictly speaking, Red Star Defense is a joint-stock enterprise, and Red Star Tractor Factory has 20 percent of the equity." Li Lu said with a smile.

Pei Lei said, "Xiao Li, if it wasn't for the tank, it would have been fully publicized, you must know that the Red Star Defense Company is the first joint-stock enterprise, which is very representative." ”

"Making a lot of money in a muffled voice is the king." Li Lu whispered.

Smiling, Pei Lei said in a low voice, "I know what you have in mind." But you kid took the chance. With the Red Star Ground Defense Company, your Red Star Tractor Factory will be able to carry out the production of military machinery. Do you plan to follow the cooperation model of the Southern Type 15 walk-behind tractor, and the Red Star Tractor Factory will undertake part of the production tasks of the Red Star Ground Defense Company? ”

Li Lu touched his nose, slightly embarrassed, and said, "Let's talk about how to get it in the future, the current Asian Tiger is only a small supply to the Southern Xinjiang battlefield, and the experiment is more meaningful." The sales channel is open, and Red Star Defense can't keep busy, so let's consider the foundry model you mentioned. ”

"It doesn't have to be a vehicle OEM. Besides, the Red Star Factory does not have the production capacity of complete vehicles, right? You can produce a part of it first, such as the chassis, and then Red Star Defense will carry out the final assembly. Pei Lei said.

Li Lu was slightly stunned, "This is a good way." ”

At this time, the meeting began, and Li Lu and Pei Lei immediately ended the conversation.

Wang Jiaqing came to the position of the moderator to preside over the meeting, and the meeting began according to the process.

For most employees, handing over is not what they want. The Guangming Plant is not an ordinary military factory, but one of the three mechanical factories with the ability to produce main battle tanks, and it is professional. Transferring local military enterprises to state-owned enterprises, without the big backer of the army, everyone's hearts are no longer to rely on. The most important thing is that after the handover, the restructuring will be carried out gradually, without the support of military orders, from the production of tanks to a factory specializing in the production of tractors, the psychological gap and confusion about the future will follow.

“…… Over the past 30 years since its establishment, we have provided more than 10,000 pieces of main equipment, including tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, to the troops, and have effectively supported national defense construction. Among them, various modifications and variants of the Type 59 tank were highly praised by the troops. Comrades, after 30 years of ups and downs, the people of Guangming have gone through generation after generation. Major changes have taken place in the country's economic situation, and under the general environment of internal reform and opening up to the outside world, the PLA has given full support to local economic construction. As a specific measure, the army decided to transfer the Guangming Factory as a whole to the locality, and today we gather together to announce that the old Guangming Factory has completed its historical mission, and the new Guangming Factory has stepped onto the stage......"
