Working hard outside, observing words and colors is a basic skill, since it is a distinguished guest personally received by the manager, other employees will definitely not dare to slack off.

The tea served was ten yuan and one pound of the best Huangshan Maofeng, and the guns that were presented later were also carefully selected.

Zhang Jiye opened an exhibition box, pointed to a few of the pistols and introduced: "Look, this is a bright type made by our factory, and the bullets used are American Bai Langning 735 bullets; The Roselight over there uses a three-centimeter bomb made in China. ”

The so-called "Browning 735 bullet" is actually .32ACP pistol cartridge, because the Browning series of pistols is popular all over the world, and one of its commonly used ammunition, 7.65×17mm is also popular in Eurasia.

The workmanship of these pistols is quite excellent, the chamber is chrome-plated, the body of the blue process seems to be brilliant, and the walnut grip piece is also very exquisite.

Bright light is a small pistol designed and manufactured by Hengguang Company, using a six-round magazine, targeting powerful businessmen and police, and positioning it as a self-defense pistol.

The Roselight is actually a replica of the Browning M7911A1, which instead fires an open-made 9.6×20mm pistol cartridge with an eight-round magazine.

Zhou Changfeng was not very interested in this, but he just played with it casually, but what surprised him was that the Bright Light pistol felt very good in the grip, and the overall light and compact was a fight, which had a fight with the famous PPK pistol, the difference was that the Roselight type was a built-in hammer.

"This gun looks good." With great interest, he completely disassembled it, and found that the total number of parts was only about forty, "Oh? Double action, hammer built-in. ”

Xia Xiaoshi, who was standing beside him, witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but admire this skillful technique.

"You know the goods at a glance," Zhang Jiye said with a smile: "The local government police and the county police are also very satisfied, and a total of 500 have been purchased." ”

Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for small, little-known factories to create classics.

For example, the famous Glock series of pistols, the Glock company was originally just an unknown small company in Austria, producing some civilian die castings.

Zhou Changfeng originally thought that Hengguang Company was just a small factory that imitated mainstream guns, but he didn't expect to be able to develop a good pistol by himself?

"Here's some semi-automatic, automatic guns, and shotguns."

"Well, I'll see."

On the side, Zhou Changfeng also fiddled with several long guns one by one, including imitation Winchester M7910 automatic rifle, Winchester M7894 lever rifle, Winchester M7912 shotgun, Browning Auto-5 semi-automatic shotgun, FN-M7900 semi-automatic rifle and so on.

In addition, there are semi-automatic rifles, double-barreled shotguns, and three-barreled shotguns designed by Hengguang Company.

Looking at the shotgun with three barrels arranged in a zigzag shape, Zhou Changfeng's mind inexplicably appeared with the appearance of a three-eyed gun.

Fighting in the South Seas and the Pacific, the shotgun does seem to be a backup weapon that needs to be equipped.

The U.S. military was very fond of this thing, and during the war, it was equipped with eight models of pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns, and the Marine Corps Infantry Regiment generally had 100 shotguns as supplementary weapons for use.

I don't know why, he made up the scene of the Ming army shooting each other in the jungle with a three-barreled shotgun and the American army with a pump-action shotgun.

Hey, it seems a bit out of harmony.

The Circumference Wind Ghost picked up the glowing shotgun and examined it carefully.

It is a common medium-fold type, firing 12 gauge shotguns, bird bullets, deer bullets, bear bullets, and single-headed bullets, using a double trigger design, the front trigger is pulled down for a single shot, and the rear trigger is pulled down for three salvos.

Zhang Jiye on the side has been carefully observing Zhou Changfeng's every move, and he feels that the latter is not like an ordinary person, and he can draw conclusions from his skillful actions of holding and dismantling the gun.

After trying to recall the name, he suddenly thought of the man who had appeared in the newspaper for days on end......

Zhang Jiye's heart tightened, and he hesitated and asked, "Mr. Zhou, dare to ask if you are the one who was published in the newspaper before?" ”

Zhou Changfeng, who was aiming at a Browning Auto-5 semi-automatic shotgun, did not hide it, and casually admitted: "That's right, it's me." ”

Grass!

This, this, this... Why did this come about?

At this moment, Zhang Jiye's mind became active as never before, and he quickly guessed the true purpose of Zhou's casual clothes.

Why did a well-known middle-level general come here from the capital in casual clothes to a small and unknown factory? Even daring to claim to invest?

Zhou Changfeng glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't think about it, my purpose is the same as I said before, it's very simple." ”

"But... You must know that you are in an official position, and you and your immediate family should not engage in business. Zhang Jiye said suspiciously.

"It's okay, I'll find someone else to buy shares on my behalf." Zhou Changfeng replied disappreciatively.

Hearing this, Zhang Jiye was overjoyed in his heart - what does this mean that he really plans to invest?

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If it was just an ordinary gun, my factory would definitely have made it." Yanjing Heavy Machinery's hexagonal turret lathes and universal boring machines, and Taiping Iron and Steel Plant's refined manganese-nickel steel, the craftsmen are also extremely skilled. ”

Zhou Changfeng smiled and waved his hand, "Processing is secondary, it's nothing more than a few more failures, it can be made after all, the difficulty is the specific design, what about your designers here?" ”

"Indeed, you have a point, so I'll go find him?"

"Okay."

In a few moments, two young men walked in one after the other.

One looked about twenty years old, shy and thin, with a wrist as thin as a girl, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

The other is black and thin, with rough hands, and looks relatively outgoing and older.

After some introduction, Zhou Changfeng learned that the shy and thin man was named Cao Shaoxun, graduated from Minhang County No. 2 Practical Middle School, and had worked in the Shanghai Army Arsenal for four years; The other person is named Wang Lai, who graduated from Songjiang State No. 1 Technical High School and has been working in Hengguang Company.

Cao Shaoxun enrolled in the extra shift when he was working in the arsenal, systematically learned the principle of firearms, and began to try to design it himself after coming to Hengguang Company.

Wang Lai is his assistant, and his car, boring, and drilling skills are excellent, and he is quite clever, and he has also learned a lot of theoretical knowledge with Cao Shaoxun.

Hengguang's Type 5 and 6 self-designed guns were all made by them.

How many types of pistols and shotguns did two young young men design on the whole? This can also be called a talent with a small achievement.

Zhou Changfeng thought for a moment and asked quite kindly: "I see that the work you designed does not have automatic weapons, have you ever had an idea in this regard?" ”

Cao Shaoxun, who was a little evasive, replied: "I have also designed a spear with a round head and a long bullet, but it is not necessarily better than the existing gun, so only a few sample guns have been made." ”

The so-called round-nosed long bullet refers to the Winchester .351L rifle cartridge, which is a round-headed, straight-barreled, half-bottomed civilian rifle cartridge with a muzzle kinetic energy of up to 1900J and an effective range of about 200m.

The Type 20 automatic gun, the Winchester M7907 rifle, which was commonly used by the Ming army, fired this bullet.

"What is the automatic method and the latching method?"

"Hmm... Tube retreat, short recoil; Then there is the bolt offset locking. ”

Aha? An automatic rifle with a short barrel recoil automatic principle?

Early semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles did have many options to use this principle, but if they fired low-power ammunition, the recoil energy was weak. Moreover, the structure is complex and the processing and manufacturing are difficult.

The advantage is reliable operation and low recoil.

But obviously, it doesn't make sense on the whole.

But at least it shows that this young man has experience in this area, so that Zhou Changfeng can look at him even more.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Changfeng asked: "If you want to design a hand-held machine gun that fires pistol bullets with as simple a structure as possible, and the main components must be stamped and reliable, do you have any confidence?" ”

To be honest, it's not easy.

There's a good saying, "It's easy to make something complicated, but it's complicated to make something simple."

Experienced or gifted designers can simplify the structural design as much as possible, but mediocre people can only follow the step-by-step process, and even add more noodles and more water to the noodles.

For example, the famous PPS-43 submachine gun designed by Sudayev also doubles as a shell throwing rod with a re-entry spring guide rod, thus replacing the fixed shell throwing pole, which is dual-purpose.

Cao Shaoxun hesitated for a moment, plucked up his courage and said: "Sir, the parts of the stamping process are very rough and relatively thin, and the guns made in this way are like iron shells, not durable. ”

"When it comes to consumables, durability isn't a big concern." Zhou Changfeng smiled slightly, "In a war of unprecedented scale, quantity is the first thing to be satisfied. ”

The group walked and chatted, and also came to a warehouse of Hengguang Factory.

There are all kinds of long and short guns from China and abroad, which are neatly arranged here, and there are many of them, and they are dazzling, like a museum. Of course, for a gun factory, this is normal.

A delicate submachine gun caught Zhou Changfeng's attention, and he reached out and took it down - the heavy body, the huge drum, this is the Suomi M31 submachine gun, which is famous for its meticulous workmanship.

"Chief Zhou's vision is really accurate, this is a masterpiece of a small Nordic country, extremely sophisticated, and the materials and processing are among the best." Zhang Jiye said approvingly.

"It's a good gun, and if I were a soldier, I'd definitely pick it." Zhou Changfeng, who was expressionless, put it back on the shelf and continued: "But it is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty, nor is it suitable for the Great War. ”

Your Son's Somi is indeed very good, but when I take out the eight Bobosha, how will Your Excellency deal with it?

Historically, the ingenuity of the Finnish, Suomi M31, has been mass-produced for 22 years, but the total output is only more than 80,000 pieces; And they copied the PPS-43 at the end of the war, and in less than a year, they made 10,000 pieces, and also because the Finnish military placed an order for only 10,000 pieces.

"The total investment is about 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, and at the beginning of next year, I will contact you by letter or telegram during this period."

"Hey, you're a sweet spring, otherwise we'll have to take out a loan."

Overall, Hengguang fully meets the requirements of Zhou Changfeng.

In fact, he did not hope that such a small and medium-sized private enterprise could come up with any classics, he wanted to make it play a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade.

Even if its work is very ordinary, no matter how it is, it is an epoch-making product, and as long as the military department sees its value, the bidding for the military industrial enterprises across the country will naturally come. Synthesizing the wisdom of the world, a type of classic will always be born.

It can only be said that some old stubborn military departments will definitely be stubborn if they are not slapped in the face by the real thing.

After leaving Hengguang Company, Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi went to find a place to have lunch.

Because they were not used to Shanghai cuisine, they wandered around for a long time and finally found a Hunan restaurant.

Recalling what happened before, Xia Xiaoshi sighed sincerely: "Sir, you are really amazing, you know everything." ”

Zhou Changfeng, who was on the other side of the table, sandwiched a piece of dried incense and said vaguely: "In a broad sense, everything related to killing techniques knows a little bit. ”

"You are too humble, my father said, although you can't be too ostentatious, but it's not okay to always keep a low profile."

"Low-key? Come to think of it, I've been in the newspaper a few times......"

Hunan cuisine is unexpectedly in line with the taste of Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi at the same time, fragrant, fresh, spicy, and oily, it can be said that it is very enjoyable to eat.

The latter suggested that he would see the car later, because Junda Automobile Company, one of the three major car companies in the Ming Dynasty, was located in Huangpu County, Shanghai Prefecture.

Zhou Changfeng naturally didn't object, and it was good to take a look by the way.

On the train, there are few passengers and there are many empty seats.

"When we save up later, we can buy a car." Xia Xiaoshi counted with her fingers, raised her eyes and asked, "Sir, you should be able to get a quota, right?" Otherwise, you will have to spend more money. ”

Daming's local automobile production is limited, and it is also concentrated on the production of trucks.

Among the three major car companies of Yanjing Xunjie, Wuhan Yangyue and Shanghai Junda, only Junda Company's car production accounts for 40%, so Daming's domestic cars are often priceless.

Although the theoretical price is about 3,000 yuan, but in fact it may not be possible to double it, in today's Daming, owning a domestic car is a proper status symbol.

Because of tariffs and import taxes, Ford cars, which cost about $1,000 in the United States, are basically shipped to Daming at a market price of 5,000 yuan.

In contrast, the monthly income of ordinary people in Beijing is only a few dozen yuan, and cars are an unattainable luxury for most people.

On the first floor of the Junda company's marketing building, there are several cars of various colors and shapes parked in front and back.

"Oh, sir, you see, this car looks really well-behaved." Xia Xiaoshi pointed to one of the white, large-backed, two-door, two-seater sedans and said.

Junda has four types of cars on sale, which is a car that focuses on sports style, called "Lingyuan".

Zhou Changfeng, who crossed his waist, glanced at it, "Two seats, it's not very practical." ”

"Oh yes."

"That four-seater convertible is pretty good."

"The price tag is three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, but it must be more, so expensive." Xia Xiaoshi sighed.

Experiencing the process of "throwing away" a huge sum of money from her family, she is somewhat reluctant.

But after all, that money belongs to gray income, and it is indeed wise to put it aside as soon as possible, which she can still carry. Moreover, she also firmly believes that Zhou's decision must be correct.
