On the way back to the dormitory to pack up his things, Wang Ye had information about the Red Star Machinery Factory in his mind.

Since the beginning of the bad relations between the Soviet Union and China in 65, the Soviet Union has been eyeing China with a fierce eye, showing millions of soldiers on the northern border of China, and even threatening to plant mushrooms for Huaxia, and can directly take Yanjing in three days.

In the face of such a terrifying and strong enemy, Huaxia began a vigorous three-line construction, and the three-line construction is divided into "big third line" and "small third line", of which the big third line refers to the construction of national strategic rear bases, mainly in many provinces in the southwest region, mainly in the national defense industry, basic industry, transportation, post and telecommunications, fuel power, agricultural production.

The small third line is the construction of strategic rear areas in various provinces and cities, that is, remote areas such as non-urban periphery, non-transportation hubs, and non-strategic points, and the construction content is mainly small and medium-sized military factories.

As for the purpose of the construction of the third front, it is to rely on these industrial facilities and military factories located in remote places to continuously produce all kinds of weapons, equipment, food, and materials, and to wage a long-term tug-of-war with the strategic depth of China's huge territory, and to fight for China's survival and national restoration.

Therefore, from 65 to 76 years, in just ten years, more than 200 small and medium-sized arsenals were built, and these military factories are also called "small third-line factories" or "third-line factories".

Then the time quickly came to the end of the seventies.

With the warming of the international situation, the initial relaxation of relations between China and the Soviet Union, the possibility of the outbreak of war has been greatly reduced, and the state has put forward a development plan centered on reform and opening up and economic construction, resulting in these small and medium-sized military factories instantly becoming oil bottles.

After all, these military factories can only produce all kinds of weapons and ammunition, and without war, they will have no production tasks, and can only live on state subsidies, and they cannot even be self-sufficient.

In this case.

In February this year, the state held a number of meetings to discuss the reform and development of the "third-line factories." Finally, after several rounds of discussions, it preliminarily decided on the handling of the gradual conversion of these third-line factories into civilian use, so that they could enter the civilian industrial field and retain a certain amount of military production capacity while achieving self-sufficiency, so as to prepare for the unforeseen needs of future wars.

But that's easier said than done.

After all, for a factory that can only produce rifles and bullets, without additional investment, can it produce any civilian products, and even if it is produced, whether it can be sold is still a problem, not to mention that there are more than 200 factories with such problems nationwide, so how difficult it is to be self-sufficient!

It is precisely because of this that Dean Sun Canghai and Wang Ye, who are engaged in machinery and electronics, have been invited to participate in meetings many times to give advice.

Finally, at the meeting a few days ago, after many disputes and discussions, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of the Fifth Machinery finally decided on the start-up plan, that is, to select five representative third-line factories as pilot projects to carry out military-to-civilian reform, and then carry out nationwide promotion, and the Red Star Machinery Factory is the worst situation among the five factories.

In Wang Ye's memory, in the end, the Fifth Machinery Department and the Ministry of National Defense sent a joint investigation team into these five factories to guide the conversion of military to civilian affairs, but only one engine factory in Sichuan and Chongqing succeeded in the transformation, and the others failed.

"Product! Factories can only survive if they produce, so the product is the core. ”

"But what kind of products can help the Red Star Machinery Factory, which implements the policy of converting military to civilian, out of the predicament?"

Walking on the road, this thought lingered in Wang Ye's mind until he returned to the bedroom.

Nowadays, China's economy has just begun to develop, so even the top universities in China, such as Huaqing, the overall conditions are relatively difficult, such as the dormitory for accommodation, or the crowded eight-person dormitory.

However, because the graduation defense has been completed in mid-April, there are only three people left in the dormitory, including Wang Ye.

As for Wang Ye's roommates, they all have their own places to go, after all, Huaxia has just resumed the college entrance examination for a few years, and even college students are still expensive things, let alone Huaqing's graduate students.

Some people stay in school to study for a doctorate, some enter national ministries and commissions, some study abroad at public expense or in various ways, and some enter those multinational companies that have just entered the country, etc., and the worst ones go to work in the provincial government.

Sure enough, Wang Ye pushed open the bedroom door and found that the remaining two were in the bedroom.

The one on the right hand is named Li Ze, who is listening to the Sony brand Walkman with headphones, leaning on the chair and holding a copy of Jin Yong's complete works to read, in this era, the Walkman is a rare thing, and it is an insult to describe it as a price, because this thing is simply priceless!

After all, there are very few things worth more than $100 that can enter the country, and it is possible to obtain one unless it is given by a relative abroad at home, or some foreign-related department or foreign exchange-earning unit goes out on business and buys it with the dollars that have been painstakingly exchanged on the black market.

But few people do this, after all, even if they go abroad for business, because of the scarcity of foreign exchange in the country, the overall low domestic income, etc., everyone's daily living expenses are only three or five US dollars, even if they go out for a month to save all, it is only more than a hundred US dollars, and this money can be used to buy a major appliance, such as a refrigerator color TV, who will use it to buy a Walkman?

Besides, how many people can go abroad for a month?

It is precisely because of this that today's Walkman is a symbol of status, and if you can have such a thing, it is the master!

"Yo, where is the master resting? Didn't get home? ”

Wang Ye, who pushed the door open, greeted Li Ze with a smile and said, Li Ze is a person from Sijiu City, and Wang Ye doesn't know about the family situation, but if he can have a Sony Walkman, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary family.

Hearing Wang Ye's voice, Li Ze suddenly turned his head and took off his headphones to look at them, and said with a smile:

"No, what are you going to do? Listen to nagging? Bother! ”

"By the way, Yezi, have you decided where to go? Staying in school? Ministries and commissions? Or study abroad? ”

In the past few days, this Li Ze has been a divine dragon and has not seen each other for more than a week, so he will ask so much when he sees Wang Ye, but as soon as his voice fell, the classmate wearing a new suit on Wang Ye's left snorted coldly and said:

"Yezi, listen to my brother, don't stay in school, as far as our domestic scientific research is concerned, whether it is level or funding, it is a piece of, and it can't be compared with foreign countries at all!"

"Don't go to the ministries and commissions, what will those officials do besides drinking and having meetings?"

Speaking of this, he spoke with a smug tone in his voice, and continued to Wang Ye quite excitedly:

"I have signed a contract with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and they sponsored me to enter the University of Tokyo in Japan for further study, and I received a living allowance of 150,000 yen every month during my studies, which is equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan according to the black market, and ordinary workers have to earn two and a half years!"

"When I entered the company after finishing my studies, I was a senior engineer, and my salary tripled! Hahaha! ”

With his laughter, Wang Ye and Li Ze glanced at each other, and he continued to persuade:

"So Yeko, study abroad! Be sure to study abroad! And your level is much higher than mine, and there are publicly-funded study abroad places, which of those universities in the United States can't apply? ”

"When the time comes, you can directly find a job in a multinational company after reading and earn green dollars directly, isn't it good?"

"And although you went out at public expense, but when you are abroad, can the state still tie you back? I heard that you can buy a house after working in the United States for two months, and when the time comes, take your parents over, and you will be an American! Envy! ”

In today's era, with the impact of foreign information on reform and opening up, countless people are full of illusions and longings for capital countries, and among these capital countries in the world, the United States and Europe are naturally the most awesome, followed by Japan!

Because of this, although this classmate is proud, he is also envious, after all, he went to Japan, and Wang Ye can go to the United States!

Originally, Wang Ye was not going to say anything, after all, the times are like this, but when he heard his final tone, Wang Ye still couldn't help it, and said without being soft or hard:

"I'm not going, I'm not used to eating foreigners' meals."

"Besides, our country is not good, then we should work hard to build, not escape."

"It's shameful to run away, that's the act of a coward!"

As soon as these words came out, the classmate was stunned for a moment, and then directly sneered:

"Coward? Yes, yes, I'm a coward, I'm a deserter! I went to the institute to engage in scientific research, and I was the last of the seniors, who listened to me? I go to the ministry, a recruit egg, who cares about me? ”

"Also, look at this man who is sitting, you ask him, does he dare to tell you where the walkman in his hand came from?"

"I want to build the country, does the country need me to build?"

"I told you with good intentions that I still haven't listened, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin!"

After finishing speaking, he angrily pushed open the door and left, while the dormitory fell silent, and after a few seconds, Wang Ye looked at Li Ze, and suddenly couldn't help asking:

"Master Style, how did you get your Sony Walkman?"

For this question, I didn't expect Li Ze, who was sitting there, to be quite calm, picked up the walkman and said with a smile:

"My mother is a foreign-related unit, and she has been working in France for a long time, and she saved up the subsidy to buy it for me, what can't I say about this? Lao Liu is too extreme, the problem certainly exists, but the weak complain about the environment, and the strong change the environment, right? ”

In the end, Li Ze sighed with emotion, and at the same time couldn't help but ask again:

"By the way, Yezi, where are you going?"

Wang Ye walked to his chair and sat down, and said casually:

"Red Star Machinery Factory, factory director!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ze, who was holding the Walkman, seemed to have pressed the pause button, and he continued to play it a few seconds later, and exclaimed with an incredible thumbs up on his face:

"Cow beep, you are a real powerhouse! Wait for your good news, and then my brother will give you a celebration wine! ”
