On New Year's Day in 1982, Li Lu was destined to not be able to drink 82-year-old Moutai.

Huang Guanghui didn't take his words as a joke, and really conveyed his instructions. On New Year's Day, January 1, 1982, a wagon of Moutai arrived at the dry port. When Huang Guanghui reported to Li Lu, Li Lu couldn't cry or laugh.

"Chief, this is half sold and half given away by Moutai Factory, and they are all more than fifteen years old." Huang Guanghui explained.

Li Lu asked, "Why did they give me wine?" ”

Zhang Weiwei said, "Boss, you forgot, they want to buy imported machinery and find the Red Star Factory." ”

All of a sudden, Li Lu remembered this.

How can there be so many years and years of Moutai, in the future, many people will probably drink the vintage Moutai made by the machine.

At this time, it was in the Red Star Factory, after lunch, a few people were in front of the office building, Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui checked the luggage while loading the car, things were a lot better, old routines, most of them were cash.

Flights to Shanghai were run at Lugang Airport, operated by United Airlines with military background, using old-fashioned Tupolev passenger planes, and they had to stop at provincial capitals to refuel or something before they could fly to Shanghai.

Finally, there is no need to toss the train, Li Lu is happy, even if the plane is broken, as long as it will not fall.

Li Lu and Ma Jintao, who saw him off, walked to the side, Ma Jintao put his hands behind his back, and stood still under the tree with Li Lu, and said, "This time you go over, my affairs can be done, if it's too late, forget it, I'll let them come by themselves." ”

"Why is it too late, Ma Gong, I have to talk about you about this matter, you said that you have been here for a year, and you still haven't taken your sister-in-law and children over. Of course, I also know that Shanghai is a metropolis, and the environment is better, but our dry port is not bad. Li Lu said with a smile.

Ma Jintao waved his hand, "Your sister-in-law is coming over, as for the demon king of my family, he can go whatever he likes, as an adult, I can't care about it." ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you, and you'll wait for the family reunion." Li Lu said.

Ma Jintao took out a small notebook from his pocket, handed it to Li Lu, and said, "Some of my relationships in Shanghai, it's good to do research, you can select and select by yourself, as for whether you can invite here, it depends on your ability." ”

Li Lu hurriedly opened it, and it was densely filled with more than 30 pages, and everyone's information was relatively complete, one person on one side, that is to say, this book recorded the personal information of a huge scientific research personnel of almost sixty people.

Ma Jintao can see the person who is still bad?

Li Lu said excitedly, "Ma Gong, you are the father of scientific research in the Red Star Factory. ”

"Don't pour Allah ecstasy soup." Ma Jintao waved his hand and said, "I have inquired, Germany has a new spectrometer, we are too far behind in this regard, to catch up with the pace of foreign countries, first of all, this experimental equipment must keep up with the rhythm." You have to find a way to get me a batch back. ”

Li Lu simply agreed, "Ma Gong, you pull a list, and I will do the same." ”

"The list is ready." Ma Jintao pointed to the small notebook in Li Lu's hand, "Turning back from the last page, it's all inside." ”

Dare to love Ma Jintao has been prepared.

Li Lu should have known that Ma Jintao would not be so easy to speak, and pulling out a list of more than 50 people at once was obviously a request, and it would not be an easy thing to do-ninety percent of the equipment in the Batumi agreement embargo directory.

"Yes, I'm out of the way, the Germans can't get it, I'm going to get a little Japan." Li Lu made up his mind.

In the past two years, the Germans have been very active, and they are even more active in technical cooperation with China than the Yankees, and they have a great sense of tolerance.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Lu remembered the MPC-75 airliner again, fortunately, there was still time.

Of course, when they refer to Germany at this time, they mean West Germany. Diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union had not yet returned to normal, and there were apparently no more ties with East Germany.

An ongoing war on the Southwest Frontier gave the Americans great confidence that China could become a strong front line against the Warsaw Pact. This war is an attitude, and the heroic tenacity shown by the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and even the war on the Korean Peninsula, clearly tell the world a fact - no country can defeat China.

With China at the forefront, the Yankees have even thrown little Japan aside, and in recent years, not only have they reduced their technological output, but many cooperation projects have been canceled or slowed down, and even aid has been reduced. After World War II, the most important purpose of the United States to vigorously support little Japan was that small Japan was the front line against the Warsaw Pact.

Now that the forward positions have changed, the people they support have naturally changed.

The fire-control system used by the Asian Tiger tank is the same technology level as the Abrams main battle tank, but there are some differences in combat range. Chrysler Defense would obviously not dare to export such a thing without approval.

In order to help the Chinese army improve its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the Americans are still working hard, and in this context, the American arms dealers, who only pursue profits, simply sell everything.

I'll have to talk to Wade.

Li Lu secretly thought that Wade, as the technical representative of Chrysler Defense, had been in Shanghai for a few months, and Li Lu judged that he might have gone to a cooperation project between Chong Douglas and Shangfei. The Wade family owns stakes in a number of arms companies, and it is impossible not to be tempted by the project.

"Xiao Li, why are you in a daze? Let's go. Ma Jintao said.

Li Lu came back to his senses and said, "Okay, departure, horse work, and the research and development of passenger cars, we still have to pay attention to it." I think about it, outsourcing can not always solve the fundamental problem, we have to have our own bus, even if the quality is poor, we have to solve the problem first. ”

"I know, there is still more than a month to celebrate the Spring Festival, and strive to come up with a sample car plan before the Spring Festival, arrange manufacturing after the holiday, and build it out first." Ma Jintao said.

Li Lu shook hands with Ma Jintao, "Okay, Ma Gong, let's do this first." ”

said goodbye to the others, only took Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui, Li got in the car on the road, and the Red Star Pajero V33 rushed to the Lugang Airport.

There is currently no talk of military and civilian airports, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Air Force. The situation is like this: With the implementation of reform and opening up, in order to support local economic development, the Air Force has continuously handed over airports, air routes, and even airplanes to the localities, and even engaged in passenger transportation on its own.

For people nowadays, flying is a glory that can blow to the sky. The people who are qualified to take the plane in these years are all leading cadres or senior technical personnel, not to mention the surname of the ordinary boss, if the cadres below the department level want to take the plane, then you have to have a very good relationship.

The air tickets of the three Li Lu were applied for in the name of Xinguang Factory, and it was difficult for even the Red Star Defense Company to apply because the Red Star Defense Company was a joint-stock enterprise.

The location of the dry port airport seems to be relatively remote at this time, between the south and north train stations, and about five kilometers from the city. Thirty years later, the airport will be surrounded by an expansive urban area that will have to be relocated or newly built.

In this era, the terminal building, which looks very modern, is newly built, with a strong military style, and there are guards with guns standing at the door, and they are directly at the door to check the tickets, and the people who check the tickets are also the troops. The inland port airport is one of the bases of United Airlines, and they are all operating and managing it.

Li Lu showed a bunch of materials such as air tickets, certificates, letters of introduction, and unit certificates, and the cadres who checked the tickets carefully checked and appropriated, and saw Li Lu's first certificate, which said that the executive deputy director of the public security department of the Xinguangchang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, the rank was deputy director.

Yesterday, the Provincial Personnel Department approved Li Lu's promotion, and the company's Zhengke was upgraded to the deputy director of the enterprise, officially becoming a deputy director-level cadre of the enterprise. In fact, as early as when the New Guangming Factory was set up by the Public Security Department, Li Lu's application for promotion had already been submitted. The right to appoint department-level cadres of Xinguang Factory lies in the Provincial Personnel Department, and they all belong to the cadres of provincial enterprises and institutions.

The fact that he was not approved for such a time was not because of Li Lu's youth, but because of his work experience - it was absolutely unbelievable that he was promoted to a deputy department-level cadre after only one year of work. However, as the investigation deepened, the leaders of the Provincial Personnel Department began to accept this fact.

The first is the combat hero commended by the Supreme Command, the second is the general director of the Red Star Defense Company, and the most critical is the latter position. In fact, as a cadre sent to the Red Star Defense Company by the New Guangming Factory, Li Lu, the general manager, must at least correspond to a department level.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, research and research, finally after the leaders of the Provincial Personnel Department learned that Li Lu was the chief person in charge of two foreign exchange businesses that added up to almost 700 million US dollars, they simply and neatly approved his promotion.

Hence this deputy director level.

The cadres of the troops who checked the tickets opened Li Lu's second document -- the commander of the tank battalion directly under the Lugang City Reserve Infantry Division.

"Smack!" The cadres of the troops who checked the tickets hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Good chief!" ”

"I'm a reservist." Li Lu returned the salute with a smile and nodded.

The cadres of the army are not stupid, the commander of the reserve tank battalion, the army is a reserve, but the person must be an active battalion-level cadre! He really guessed wrong, Li Lu is really a reserve. The so-called tank battalion directly under the reserve infantry division of Lugang City is, to put it bluntly, the militia battalion of the Xinguangchang factory. These names are called differently on different occasions, but in short, the Xinguangchang militia battalion (reserve battalion) is an important part of the reserve force in the dry port area.

Since it is a cadre of the army, there is nothing to check, and the cadre of the army who checked the ticket hurriedly signaled for permission and asked, "Chief, are they with you?" ”

"Yes, it's our cadres." Li Lu nodded.

The cadres of the army hurriedly looked at the documents of Zhang Weiwei and Huang Guanghui and let them in.

Passed the ticket inspection smoothly, and the people who saw them off outside kept seeing Li Lu and the three of them walking inside, and they couldn't see anyone before they turned back and got into the car and left. Seeing the domineering Red Star Pajero V33 outside, the army cadres who checked the ticket secretly said - now the treatment of the reserve forces is so good.
