Chapter 12: Success is allowed, not failure
[12] Success is allowed, not failure
The silver Jiabao micro-face was protected by two black cars in front and behind, and the ghost drove towards the crossing landing field on the outskirts of Beijing, driving Wei Guo, Xu Qishan sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and Cao Xiaoqiang and Minister Li sitting in the second row. In a row of 25 tin boxes, covered with an inconspicuous rag, each containing twenty kilograms of gold, was stacked in a row of cars.
"Xiaoqiang, this is already the maximum amount of gold that can be used in the country's treasury reserves at this stage. Do you know how heavy the list is on your shoulders? Minister Li said solemnly.
Seeing that Xiaoqiang nodded heavily, he paused and continued:
"The country and the nation have put high bets on you, this time Jihua! It is only allowed to succeed and not to fail! The President and the Prime Minister have placed great trust in you, and I have great confidence in you, and I am confident that you will return triumphantly after completing your mission. Remember! Be careful, be cautious and cautious, and put safety first! Minister Li said in an accentuated tone.
"I know that this will be the first task I have completed for the country, and I will do my best to deliver an answer sheet that satisfies the country." Xiaoqiang responded.
"You keep this gun." Minister Li was silent for a moment, and then suddenly took out a pistol from the briefcase leaning next to him.
"I wasn't going to let you carry a gun across the country, but if you carry so much gold, if you are exposed to being targeted, your life may be in danger, so take it for yourself. You must remember that you should never use it unless absolutely necessary, and if you have a gun, you must keep it absolutely confidential and not let anyone there know about it. Minister Li solemnly instructed.
"I see, Minister Li."
Xiaoqiang took the pistol and took a closer look, it was a nine-mm pistol with a model of Luger P08, eight rounds of ammunition had been fully loaded, and it was well maintained. After Minister Li taught Xiaoqiang to open the insurance and other matters, Xiaoqiang carefully stuffed the gun in the inner pocket of his suit, although he had never fired a gun in his life, but this hard pound and two taels of iron made him feel full of confidence.
Soon the car drove close to the landing site, and Xiao Qiang found that this place was already full of sentry posts, and the entire area was surrounded by our troops on a large scale, and the place where fifty heavy trucks were parked became the center of the encirclement. When he arrived at the location, Xiaoqiang got out of the car and shook hands with Minister Li to say goodbye, and under the attention of Minister Li, Wei Guo and Xu Qishan, Xiaoqiang launched a blood sacrifice.
After turning on the headlights again, Xiaoqiang drove in the direction of his home, and the night in the northern capital was filled with mist. Xiaoqiang parked the car downstairs and began to carry the gold. Fortunately, there is an elevator in the 21st century, otherwise Xiaoqiang would definitely have his waist tired, so he tossed for more than an hour, and all 25 boxes of gold were transported home.
Xiao Qiang raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock at night. He opened the refrigerator and made himself a bowl of instant noodles, but before he could eat it, he snored in bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xiaoqiang contacted Manager Feng of Yayi Gold Store according to the business card. Xiaoqiang said that he had an underground channel to buy gold in the south, and he currently had 500 kilograms of spot in his hand, hoping to sell it to Manager Feng.
"Boss Cao, your amount is relatively large this time, the goods I bought in the store last time haven't been digested, and now it's a bit difficult for me to eat so much at one time."
"So what do you say?" Xiaoqiang asked.
Manager Feng replied on the phone: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, I have been fighting in the gold industry for so many years, and I am also a little famous in the gold industry, it is not a problem to help you find a buyer for these gold, I can also take 200 kilograms myself, and I will help my friend win the remaining 300 kilograms." In this way, you wait for my call, and I will notify you immediately when you are contacted, and soon, you will wait for me for an hour. ”
Xiaoqiang hung up the phone and waited anxiously for Manager Feng's callback.
As a result, in less than half an hour, Manager Feng called back, so Xiaoqiang and Manager Feng agreed to come down to pick up the goods.
The transaction went very smoothly, although Xiaoqiang was very nervous from the beginning to the end, for fear of some kind of plot such as black eating black or robbery that is common on TV, it turned out that he was too worried, and the Luger pistol in his pocket lay quietly and was useless.
After Manager Feng and Manager Lu of Daxiang Gold Store who came with him carefully inspected and weighed the goods, they used a laptop computer to put the money into Xiaoqiang's account, Xiaoqiang used his own computer to check the accounts, and after confirming that the payment had been received, he signaled that they could call someone to come up and carry it, so Manager Feng called the escort waiting on the escort car downstairs to come up and move the box.
"This is a box of zuihou, so that's it, happy cooperation." Xiaoqiang shook hands with Feng Lu and the two managers to say goodbye.
"Boss Cao is really not simple, the gold acquisition business is so big, there are so many small buyers on the market, and a stronger one can buy at most ten or twenty kilograms a year, and those who don't know think that Boss Cao is opening a gold mine, haha." Manager Lu said with a smile.
"Well, I have a lot of friends who open small gold mines, the two bosses can rest assured, there is still business to do in the future, once born and twice cooked, everyone will be friends in the future." Xiao Qiang replied along the lines.
Sending away the two gold store managers, Xiaoqiang checked and confirmed again as if he had no bottom in his heart, looked at the more than 150 million funds in the account, relaxed, leaned on the back of the chair and thought, "These 500 kilograms of gold, which are worth more than 560,000 US dollars in 1949, can play a limited role, but let me bring the 21st century procurement, as long as the task is completed according to the list, the country can change dramatically, and the small money left will belong to you, and you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life."
Xiaoqiang took a sip of tea and calmed down, and turned on the computer again. First of all, he purchased various types of coal mining related equipment worth 30 million yuan on the Internet, according to the 156 project to be signed between China and the Soviet Union in early 1950, there are ten coal mine projects in the first phase of fifty projects, and then the total number of coal mine projects has increased to 25, with a total annual output of more than 15 million tons, and Xiaoqiang is now in the 21st century, only a single mining area of a large coal mining enterprise can achieve such production capacity, and the national production capacity exceeds 3.2 billion tons!
Xiaoqiang knew that the domestic coal mining in 49-57 mainly used the Soviet Jishu method, changing the traditional piercing mining to long roadway mining, and changing the original backward method of rat drilling to the original backward method of drilling with rats to open roadways from various depths after drilling into oblique deep wells, and then transported out of the large channel with track laying by mine trucks. The method of coal falling is mainly changed from the pickaxe to the electric drill to drill holes, blasting and falling coal. Nowadays, coal mines are driven forward with crawler roadheaders, and drum shearers dig coal and send it to the conveyor belt, which can be said to be completely mechanized. The roadway support jishu was only a wooden support in the Soviet Union at that time, which was enough, but compared with the I-beam U-beam in the sixties, the safety must be a big difference, not to mention today's hydraulic support and even self-moving hydraulic support.
In fact, the most important way to increase production in this era is to use an electric drill instead of an iron pick, so Xiaoqiang consulted an experienced businessman, listed the form, and Zuihou ordered 2,000 sets of various mining drills, including fixed rock drills installed on the iron frame, as well as various mobile dry drilling wet drills in the hand, plus a large number of various drill bit consumables. The total price of the above is 30 million. According to the merchants, these equipment are used in small coal mines, and it is conservatively estimated that they can also produce 60 million tons per year. Bring it yourself to 1949, that era of high energy, it is estimated that the efficiency will only be higher.
After completing the purchase of coal mining equipment, Xiaoqiang quickly found several papermaking equipment suppliers on the Internet, and after bargaining, purchased a set of special paper production lines for 7 million yuan for the production of explosive paper; purchased a special watermark paper production line at a price of 10 million; After that, he had a bad taste and spent 2 million yuan outside Jihua to buy a high-grade toilet paper production line to meet his needs in 1949. A total of 35 million yuan was spent. Xiaoqiang claimed that he was a trader who did imports for a certain African country, and agreed with the manufacturer that all equipment must provide detailed commissioning and installation manuals and CDs, and must meet the needs of even illiterate people who can look at the manual to complete the task of commissioning and post-production.
Xiaoqiang then ordered 200 DVDs and 200 ordinary CRT televisions to be able to play teaching CDs for worker training.
According to Minister Li's arrangement, Xiaoqiang then contacted the leasing agent of the warehouse, renewed the contract with the warehouse for one year, and rented the 5,000-square-meter large indoor warehouse next to the open-air warehouse.
After spending two days to complete the equipment procurement, Xiaoqiang called the company's glasses sister Zhou Lan and asked Zhou Lan to come out for dinner. Zhou Lan readily agreed.
After waiting for Zhou Lan at the door of the hotel, the two came to the private room set by Xiaoqiang.
"Zhou Lan, my business is developing very well now, and I am ready to start my own company, how about you change jobs to help me. The treatment is not a problem, you will be given a salary of 10,000 pieces of iron per month, and the bonus will be calculated separately. Xiaoqiang didn't wait for the dishes to be served, so he said straight to the point.
"Wow, Xiaoqiang, you really sent it!" Zhou Lan was so surprised and delighted that she almost jumped up.
"It's okay, help foreign businessmen import equipment and earn some commissions. When you come, you are the vice president of the company, and you have the final say when I am not there. Saying that, Xiaoqiang took out 120,000 yuan from his bag.
"This is your first year's salary, and if you say yes, put the money away." Xiao Qiang looked at Zhou Lan's eyes, waiting for an answer.
"With such haode conditions, whoever doesn't do it is a fool, from today onwards, please ask the boss to take more care." Zhou Lan looked at the stacks of RMB, surprised and delighted, and said with a smile.
"Don't be polite to me, still call me Xiaoqiang in the future, I will always remember that when I resigned that day, you were the only one who ran out of the company to send me."
Zhou Lan smiled silently.
After eating, Xiaoqiang sent Zhou Lan to the bank self-deposit machine to deposit the money, and the two broke up and went home separately.
A week passed, and Xiaoqiang and Zhou Lan were busy, completing the company registration and renting the office building, and hiring thirty-five employees to specialize in procurement.
The first is to purchase all kinds of books and materials, all kinds of university teaching books and library science and technology books are constantly sent to the warehouse, but Xiaoqiang has no love for liberal arts, just orders everyone to purchase science and engineering books and materials.
The second is to purchase 1,000 new computers for scientific computing, with a total price of 10 million. There are countless kinds of piracy tools, software discs, and so on.
After that, there are all kinds of machine tools that are the main event, you must know that the machine tool is the foundation of the industry, it is the machine that manufactures the machine, which is called the industrial machine, the more developed and advanced the foundation, the more advanced the industry. As a traverser, Xiaoqiang understands how important this is.
CNC machines aside, ordinary machine tools are divided into three categories: cutting, forging, and casting.
Cutting machine tools are divided into lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, drilling machines, sawing machines, boring machines, planers, slotting machines, drilling and milling machines, threading machines, these ten kinds, if there are special production needs, you can use these machine tools to process and produce all kinds of customized special machine tools.
Forging machine tools are mainly divided into punching machines, shearing machine tools, bending machine tools, gear processing machine tools, thread rolling machine tools, pressure machine tools, and coiling machine tools.
Foundry machine tools are relatively simple, that is, cold heading machine and die-casting machine.
So the purchase began, all kinds of models, a variety of machine tools more than 100 models of at least two models each, a total of more than 800 universal general processing machine tools were bought, Xiaoqiang has a heart, the models bought are not too advanced, and it is easy to imitate the machine tools, so it is enough to shake the earth. With such processing capacity, in 1949, it is definitely a shijie-level precision machining base.
Let's talk about this cold heading machine, the first cold heading machine on Shijie appeared in Germany, which was used for the processing of bullet cases during World War II. It allows the metal blank to be formed according to the specified size and shape at room temperature. One will cost five or six million.
The die-casting machine is to jet the metal solution jet into the mold casting under high pressure, which is divided into two categories: hot chamber and cold chamber. Each unit also costs several million.
On the purchase of machine tools, Xiaoqiang spent nearly 60 million yuan, and also asked for a large number of detailed machine tool operation manuals and teaching CDs from merchants.
Mr. Zuihou also bought a blood test device that can test collected blood samples to prevent virus-laden blood from entering the blood bank. Xiaoqiang hopes that this will improve his blood transfusion safety factor in 1949.
Seeing that nearly 10 million yuan was spent to purchase books and materials of various disciplines filled the containers in the warehouse, and all the special papermaking and machine tool equipment arrived. At this time, it was November 18, and Xiaoqiang's account still had more than five million cash after completing the Jihua task.
Next, Xiaoqiang put three million on the company's account, explained that Zhou Lan was going abroad, instructed Zhou Lan to manage the company, complete the follow-up tasks, and asked her and the company's employees not to go to the warehouse again within three days, where it is now controlled by the other party who purchased the goods, and he has completed the handover with the other party, and the other party will transport away the materials.
After that, Xiaoqiang drove Jiabao, which had been licensed, and came to the warehouse alone at night.
According to the instructions of the blood soul, Xiao Qiang used the super-large soul array to carry out the blood sacrifice this time, and after drawing the coordinates at the four corners of the warehouse, when Xiao Qiang started the blood sacrifice crossing in the center of the soul array, the materials and equipment in the coordinates of the soul array in the entire super-large warehouse disappeared in an instant.
