At the end of lunch, Zhu Daolin said goodbye to Song Shaojun, who was reluctant to give up, went to the bank to transfer two sums of money, and drove to the warehouse of the refrigeration plant.

Seeing the new signboard of "Jincheng Printing Products Company Warehouse" hanging outside the door of the warehouse, Zhu Daolin couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, knowing that Liang Cheng had bought this big warehouse as he wished.

The warehouse gate is open, and the west side of the wide courtyard is being built, and the 1,500 tonnes of steel purchased on the spur of the moment yesterday are stacked in the open space to the east.

The lounge at the back of the duty room has been converted into an office, Lu Jianmin bought a computer and pulled on a broadband, invited Zhu Daolin to sit down, and opened the electronic file marked with the gun truck.

For the sake of these artillery vehicles, Lu Jianmin and the two designers of the manufacturer referred to a large number of military materials for more than half a month, visited the museum three times to see the real objects on display, and discussed with Duan Deming, who produced artillery, by telephone and e-mail many times, and finally determined the design plan after repeated revisions, and produced eight prototype cars.

After reading the actual pictures, design drawings and detailed parameters of the gun truck, Zhu Daolin was very satisfied with Lu Jianmin's work results: "Ten times better than I expected, very good!" Did you send it to Duan Deming? ”

"Three days ago, yesterday he replied to the email quite high, saying that he and several of his technicians after strict calculations, that the parameters of our design are basically correct, unanimously agreed with our design plan, but suggested that we install a hoe, and then send them a batch of prototypes as soon as possible." Lu Jianmin replied excitedly.

ZHU DAOLIN THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT: "THE TWO MODELS OF 50MM AND 80MM CALIBER CAN BE DONE ACCORDING TO HIS OPINION, AND THE MEDIUM GUN OF 125MM CALIBER DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED...... If this primitive artillery really had to be fired, the stationary hoe would not do much good, but would increase the trouble. ”

"The other two large-caliber four-wheeled gun mounts were well designed, and these two gun mounts were used on sail warships, and a low, sturdy chassis, a mechanism that could adjust the high and low firing angles, and the left and right firing boundaries were necessary. These five types of artillery carriages can be put into production immediately according to the existing design, and the number is tentatively set at 500 units per model. ”

Lu Jianmin was taken aback: "So many? The technical requirements for the production of gun carriages are much higher than those for the production of horse-drawn carriage axles, and the price is nearly ten times more expensive! ”

"If the manufacturer can't arrange it, you can cancel the production of carriage axles, but you need to add a purchase content, long-term procurement for the production of carriage axles of three types of bearings......"

"This time, I will bring you the bearings and related technical information you purchased. They have already organized more than 200 experienced craftsmen to set up a research institute and work together to tackle technical problems, or it will not be long before they will master the new steelmaking technology and the manufacturing process of horse-drawn carriage axles. ”

"In a year at most, they will be able to master the technology of making ordinary ball bearings...... At that time, it was time for the contract we signed with the Changzhou manufacturer to expire. Zhu Daolin explained.

Lu Jianmin was a little worried: "Do you want to say hello to the manufacturer in advance?" ”

Zhu Daolin thought about it for a long time: "Yes, but for the sake of customers, don't talk about the imitation of carriage axles and bearings over there, tell them directly." No renewal of the contract after the expiration of the contract next year......"

"However, you can tell them that after the first 2,500 gun carriages are delivered, if they want, we will order another 3,000 adjustable four-wheeled gun mounts for sail ships, but you must strictly control the quality and never allow substandard products to appear, otherwise there will be deaths!"

"Got it! I'll go to Changzhou early tomorrow morning. They were persuaded to re-enter into a contract based on artillery trucks, including all technical requirements and acceptance criteria. The contract is for one year, from now until the end of May next year, and I think they will be willing. ”

"After all, the axles of a carriage are not a sophisticated technology, and the profit from the production of one gun carriage is almost equal to the production of 10 sets of axles. Two of their technicians have called several times in the past two days. The diligent Lu Jianmin is becoming more and more shrewd.

Zhu Daolin smiled with satisfaction, took out a document and handed it over: "Then please, this is the next batch of procurement list and quality requirements, a total of 9 major items and 32 specifications and models, and the addresses and contact numbers of all suppliers are marked behind......"

"I transferred 20 million in advance to your dedicated bank card before I came. Silk, bone china and tea are the most abundant varieties, and the other party is an old customer who is easier to talk to, but the more you do this, the more careful you have to be, usually mistakes occur at this time. ”

"Next time, we must first send the goods to our warehouse, and then jointly accept them with them, and when I come back to pay them the balance, I have already told them about this, you just need to strictly enforce it."

"Don't worry, big brother, I won't let people make a bargain." Lu Jianmin replied.

"Let's go, take me to see those police dogs of yours...... My old comrade-in-arms called me some time ago to tell me that Mulan gave birth to six healthy cubs, and his family liked it very much. ”

"Great! I knew that Mulan was good, and the one who bred Mulan was the most majestic meritorious dog in the entire base, and the genetics were absolutely first-class, but it's a pity that ......"

At night, the Ford SUV slowly drove into the garage on the ground floor of the Heshan Villa.

Zhu Daolin carried the beautiful sample bag he got back from Liang Cheng and got out of the car door, closed the door and looked at the car nostalgically for a while, locked the garage door, entered the villa hall, and glanced at the 100 pairs of military binoculars that were sturdy and neatly stacked on the low cabinet, and his tired body seemed to be full of strength again.

Approaching midnight, Zhu Daolin, who had changed into a black casual sportswear, came to the remote refrigeration warehouse again, this time he sent the staff on duty in advance, so after closing the door, it was very easy to make the 1,500 tons of steel disappear, and then quietly walked to the warehouse behind the empty warehouse, closed the door and walked to the familiar position in the center of the warehouse again.

From the remote and deserted warehouse in the north of the modern Qixia City, back to the quiet and deserted back study of the main courtyard of Hushan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Daolin did not feel any discomfort, sat in the dark study, looked at the hazy small garden under the starlight through the glass inlaid on the carved window lattice, and experienced the mystery and wonder of nature with his heart, and unconsciously had many insights and reverie.

There was a slight commotion outside the closed study door, followed by a low, rhythmic knock.

Zhu Daolin smiled slightly and opened the door, hugged Mulan, the dog that stood up and pounced on his chest, and caressed its head that was constantly approaching.

Zhu Daolin comforted the dog, sent it back to the wooden house at the corner of the eaves of the corridor and the courtyard wall, and carefully looked at the six cute puppies who were about to move by the dim light of the stars and moon.
