The noon break was not long, only 2 hours, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was tired, and the business owners who had been sitting in a scattered manner appeared in groups. Adrian stood on the second floor and laughed at the scene in front of him, originally these irrelevant people, or opponents, would subconsciously change their attitudes because of the same interests.

All of the hundreds of questionnaires sent out were handed in, and none of them were wasted. Adrian sat upstairs and was stunned for a moment when he heard the secretary say this number, and then secretly scolded himself for being stupid, in order to get as many bidding opportunities as possible, any business owner who has the opportunity to be present will have a questionnaire, and each questionnaire is actually a competitive opportunity. Those who are more powerful will spare no effort to win the questionnaire in the hands of those who do not have the strength to win the project but are qualified to compete. But he couldn't think of a solution for a while, because it was this rule he proposed, and it would reduce his prestige to change it temporarily. It can only be improved after this time, he thought. In fact, his loophole also has an advantage, all business owners who do not have the strength to win the project will be promised the production link because of the competitive qualifications, so as to improve the survival of the enterprise, which is good in wartime, and civilian enterprises can also contribute to the military industry. However, if this is placed in peacetime, this practice will disrupt the normal needs of social development, increase the equipment cost of civilian enterprises, and lead to high prices of civilian goods.

The afternoon is not a meeting of project indicators, but to determine the campaign of the project, thanks to the regular questionnaire, all questionnaires are sealed and anonymous, because there are clear standard answers, most of the previous fill-in-the-blank questions and multiple-choice questions, true/false questions will be quickly reviewed, and the rest of the questions are also trained in advance, according to the needs of the military to give points. There will inevitably be some deviations in this, but the overall effect can be guaranteed, and the winner is not determined by score, but by finding a few representatives in a small number of high-scoring papers to get the test funds of the Ministry of Military Economy. This mechanism takes into account the vision and insight of the decision-maker, who must have a clear picture and forward-looking, big-picture thinking, and so on. Adrian did not lack these things, but had good knowledge in these aspects, which is the advantage of pioneers. After these companies that have received funds start the project, whether they can win in the end depends on which one has better design and indicators, choose one of them, and then carry out mass production. During this period, there is no time limit, but it can invisibly test everyone's speed, who can submit the plan first can grasp the initiative at the beginning, the earliest to know the shortcomings of improvement, and the official production of the product can be faster and closer. This is a competition mechanism, an institutionalized competition mechanism.

Adrian, after getting the selected questionnaire, the three of them chose a relatively superior company and arranged all the previously announced projects. However, the meeting is not over yet, and everyone is looking forward to what the next project will be. Companies that have not grabbed the project are eager to get new orders, and those who have won orders are also expecting a share of the next orders.

Every day for the next day, there will be several small and medium-sized projects or a dozen small projects, the medium-sized ones are generally individual weapons, and the small ones are generally improvement or production projects, until the last day, Sunday.

From the beginning of the army project bidding to the end, Adrian did not announce the performance indicators of the tank, which was also specially arranged by Adrian, with such a standard beginning, I believe that the next tank will be a project that everyone will get to get the head.

After a few days of hosting, Brauchitsch, who had a somewhat tired face, gave an order, and a colored curtain divided in two fell. Some people have seen both of these things, and some have only seen one or the other. On the left is the new British tank on the Western Front, while on the right is the armed transport vehicle that has made great achievements on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. Probably afraid that everyone would not be able to see anything just by looking at a picture, Adrian also made a three-dimensional scale-down model, the size of a desk, to ensure that the person sitting in the back could also see it. The model was not refined, it was predominantly white cardboard, painted in striking red in places such as tracks, gun barrels, machine gun muzzles, hatches, etc. A presentation was then circulated with some survey data. These are all data that were thrown into the wreckage of the battlefield and dragged back by the Germans by all means.

It's just that they are basically badly damaged and self-destructed internally, so a lot of data such as engine power and internal equipment are not clear, and we can only guess that these data have some reasonable range values.

When everyone looks at the data, they are all excited and their hearts beat faster, this kind of big guy is a really big project. Whoever can win it will have won an absolute victory in the army project.
