Chapter 35: Legal Possession of Guns
[35] Legal possession of a gun
The banquet of the Ministry of National Defense was held in the Bayi Building in the Northern Capital, and the attendees were Xiaoqiang, General Hua Huiling, General Yuan Kedi, Li Mubai and related people, a total of 9 people, everyone sat down in the largest private room, and Xiaoqiang sat next to General Hua.
The spacious private room is bright and bright, and the wall is hung with a large mural "Long March", and the decoration style is atmospheric and majestic.
After drinking for thirty years, Xiaoqiang turned around and made a request to General Hua:
"General Hua, I hope to be able to apply for a gun license, I don't know if I can get it?"
General Hua raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you want this?" Worried about your safety? If this is the case, the Ministry of National Defense can arrange for you to have a security officer to protect you, as an ordinary citizen, it is difficult to apply for a gun license if you do not meet the conditions. ”
Xiao Qiangxin said, if you arrange a guard to be by my side, then it will be okay, wouldn't you bring a surveillance sentry with you?
Hurriedly fooled: "I'm a little worried about my own safety, it's very complicated to do weapons trade, maybe I inadvertently offended some people but I don't know, I have a gun license, I can protect myself, the guard is okay, I'm a businessman, it's not convenient to have a guard by my side." ”
After shaking his arms back and forth twice, General Hua opened his hands and said simply, "I agree in principle." ”
He turned to Li Mubai and said, "Mubai, see if you can register Xiaoqiang with a military enterprise and apply for a gun license for him in accordance with the regulations on the secrecy of military enterprises." ”
Li Mubai hurriedly replied: "It should be possible, the leaders and backbones of military enterprises can apply, and it should be no problem to find a unit to be attached to." ”
General Hua smiled and turned his face to Xiao Qiang and asked, "If you have any other requirements, you can put them forward." ”
Xiaoqiang said gratefully: "Chief Xiexie's trust and love for me, I don't have anything else to ask for, I respect General Hua for this cup." ”
Saying that, Xiaoqiang stood up and raised his glass and drank it all.
After the banquet ended, Xiaoqiang and General Hua and others went straight to the company after breaking up to arrange follow-up procurement.
At this time, Xiaoqiang still has about 1.2 billion procurement funds in his hands, and used 600 million yuan to purchase 1 million tons of special steel production equipment, which can produce bearing steel, marine steel and boiler steel, and used 500 million yuan to purchase equipment equivalent to an ordinary steel plant in 2010, which can produce 2 million tons of iron, 2 million tons of steel, and 1 million tons of steel annually, with a total output of 5 million tons.
You must know that in 1949, China's steel output was only 158,000 tons, and in 1952 it was only 1.439 million tons.
After returning to the company, at the company meeting, Xiaoqiang deployed the next stage of Xiaoqiang International Trade Company's work arrangement, that is, to deal with the follow-up matters of procurement. Xiaoqiang is a hands-off shopkeeper and only retains the chairmanship. Xiaoqiang increased Zhou Lan's monthly salary to 80,000 yuan, which was so large that Zhou Lan was a little embarrassed.
"Boss, did you send it? With such a high salary, you won't ask me to sell my kidney, will you? Zhou Lan opened her eyes and joked with a smile.
"What's the matter, too little? You're the general manager, I've left everything to you, and I'm on a lot of business trips, so you have to help me take care of this home. ”
Zhou Lan looked at Xiao Qiang gratefully, she knew that she had chosen the right thing to follow Xiao Qiang. Secretly determined to do a good job in the company and live up to Xiaoqiang's trust in him.
"By the way, did I do your business?" Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.
"Yes, during your business trip, I kept the hired transport truck loaded with steel to run back and forth between the warehouse and the port of Tatsu, no one knew that the car was empty, and on the port side, because of the transport concession order of the Ministry of National Defense, the entry and exit were smooth, and I ordered a container ship called the Bravel, which is now out to sea. But boss, where the hell did you get all this stuff going? It can't be smuggling, right? Why smuggle when there is a tax-free transport concession? Zhou Lan replied.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, some things are state secrets, and I can't tell you." Xiaoqiang is playing tricks.
Zhou Lan couldn't guess what the situation was, but in her mind, Xiaoqiang made a fortune overnight, and there must be some secrets, so she just had to do her own thing.
The Security Bureau and the Eighth Public Security Department of the Northern Metropolis have recently wondered that they have noticed that the warehouse has been emptied, but according to the information they have obtained, it is very contradictory. On the surface, it seems that the container truck was pulled to the port of Tatsu for loading and transportation, but the comrades of the reconnaissance observed and judged that the container truck did not unload the cargo at the port of Tatsu, but returned to the warehouse again with heavy goods, and it was just tossing back and forth, not knowing where the goods were transported.
And Xiaoqiang International Trade Company is very weird, although it ordered a freighter, but it changed hands and sold the tonnage to other trading companies privately, I don't know whether it wants to use the export orders of other trading companies as a cover or have other purposes.
In short, both the intelligence and the facts seem a bit unreliable. This left the scouts puzzled. At this time, the above meaning is very clear, that is, don't care about the military's business, where Xiaoqiang Trading Company exports weapons is his business, as long as the weapons do not flow into the country, since no evidence has been found to be shipped to other places, then it must have been unloaded and loaded at the port and left.
Since the above mentioned nosy matters, the investigators also felt that their own judgment should have gone wrong. The goods do not grow wings and fly on their own, and the trucks have only been to the port of Timjin, so there is only one possibility, and the goods are still transported through some kind of underground channel.
It seems that in the future, we only need to keep an eye on the destination of the truck, and as long as the truck does not unload or turn to other destinations, there is nothing to worry about. This matter gradually faded out of the field of vision of the Ministry of Security and the Eighth Department of Public Security.
In fact, in the eyes of the military department, since Xiaoqiang's identity as an arms dealer has been confirmed, he simply doesn't care about his status, Xiaoqiang can now directly place orders with the military department without using the name of any country, and the military department is only responsible for shipping. As long as you Xiaoqiang can sell it, and you have the ability to ship it to the place you want, you can go. For the military department, of course, I hope that the more "capable" traders like Xiaoqiang, the better.
Xiaoqiang trading company, the human resources department of a large number of people lined up waiting for the application, due to the procurement of tight hours and complex tasks, the company in accordance with Xiaoqiang's meaning, the establishment of the metallurgical industry procurement department, the coal industry procurement department, and the establishment of a rainy day such as light industry procurement department, machinery industry procurement department, chemical industry procurement department, agricultural machinery procurement department, electronic industry procurement department and a series of departments.
Each department should not only purchase equipment, but also compile equipment use tutorials, equipment drawings, equipment installation processes, and post-maintenance tutorials.
With so much work to do, the company must expand its manpower a lot, and Xiaoqiang's salary for employees is very high, which is completely the standard of foreign-funded multinational enterprises, resulting in a flood of applicants, including graduate students from major universities. While Zhou Lan was dazzled, she also felt as if she was dreaming, she was an ordinary undergraduate, and she could become the general manager of such a large company and manage these days. If it weren't for Xiaoqiang, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate such a blessing in a few lifetimes.
Compared with Zhou Lan, Xiaoqiang has now become an idler. In a big city like Beidu, he has no relatives, and he has no friends except Zhou Lan. It's just that I sleep lazily every day, and go to all kinds of restaurants that I can't afford to eat before. Xiaoqiang feels like a nouveau riche, and he has no mood at all.
After three days, Xiaoqiang was so bored that he bought a lot of gadgets to his new home online. Tens of thousands of yuan of constant temperature wine cabinets, tens of thousands of yuan of double-door super large refrigerators, tens of thousands of yuan of direct drinking water purifiers, tens of thousands of home theaters, almost all the original home appliances that were given with the house have been replaced.
But Xiaoqiang's freshness passed quickly, and there was only one feeling in his heart - emptiness......
Seeing the online ticketing center, Xiaoqiang clicked in boredly, "General Political Symphony Orchestra Shijie Famous Songs Concert"? Xiaoqiang loaded a B with 120,000 points and clicked the ticket booking button......
