Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

Qin Chuan was also sleepy after driving until late last night.

I happened to be passing through a town, so I parked the car in front of the town government building, intending to take a nap in the car until dawn.

Who would have thought that the doorman, who was dozing off at the entrance, would suddenly wake up and run to call the leader.

In the middle of the night, the town leaders insisted on getting out of bed and came to greet the "leader"!

Although Qin Chuan and Li Jianshe were both young men, the leaders did not dare to neglect them. They treated them to a late-night snack and arranged for them to stay at the town's guesthouse.

As dawn broke, fearing that the leaders would send them off with fanfare, the two secretly slipped away.

Li Jianshe was still immersed in the atmosphere of last night.

"That town is so welcoming! My dad has never been so hospitable when he goes out on cases!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "That's because I had the car keys and all the paperwork was in order. That tall, thin guy in town tried every means to get in the car and sit down, just to see if the ignition switch had been tampered with or if the door lock had been pried open."

"If we find anything wrong, we'll definitely be tied up like dumplings."

The key issue is that the two are too young and don't look like cadres at all.

"If we go to the Dongfeng Machinery Factory, won't they get suspicious?"

"Even if they have doubts, they'll just think we're the sons of some big shot in the city or even the province. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Hey, there's a supply and marketing cooperative up ahead. Perfect, let's go in and buy something, that'll make it even more like a legitimate business..."

After some fuss, he got back on the bus. Li Jianshe would glance back every now and then. It really did look like him!

"What are you looking back for? Hurry up and eat!"

"Oh." Li Jianshe picked up the pastries he had just bought and put them in his mouth.

Soon, Qin Chuan spotted the factory hidden in the mountains in the distance.

This factory would certainly be useful during wartime, but now it's peacetime...

"Oh, and when you get out of the car, make sure to close the windows properly."

As Qin Chuan spoke, he stepped on the gas, and the car sped straight toward the gate, then he honked the horn.

Drip!

The elderly man on duty at the gate was originally planning to close the gate, but upon hearing the sound and looking at the car, he quickly opened the gate and warmly gestured for the car to enter.

"Thank you, sir, here you go!" Qin Chuan held the steering wheel with one hand and threw something with the other, aiming straight for the old man's chest.

The old man was quick and nimble, grabbing it in one go. It was red on the top and bottom, white in the middle, but on the white background, there was a red "double happiness" character.

Double Happiness cigarettes cost several yuan a box! The people in this car are really rich!

The old man watched the car drive away, a look of envy on his face. Where did this big boss come from?

The factory workers had already spotted the vehicle and rushed over.

The car stopped with two soft thuds, and two people got out of the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

When they saw the two men clearly, Yang Zhanfu and Guo Qing exchanged a glance: Why are they two young men? Where is the leader?

Guo Qing reached for the right rear door handle, and just as he was about to open the door, he heard a beeping sound, and then the door wouldn't open!

This Audi is great! The Santana still uses a mechanical key, which can only lock the front doors. Before you can lock the car, you have to press down the button on the rear door. But this Audi 100 has central locking; you just press the key.

Guo Qing couldn't open the car door, so he could only put his hand on the window and look inside.

This Audi 100 uses tinted windows, so there's no need to apply tint. You can see out from the inside, but you can't see in from the outside. You can only vaguely make out what looks like someone sitting inside.

"Young comrades, why aren't the leaders in the car getting off?" Yang Zhanfu asked curiously.

"The leader is a bit sleepy, he'll take a nap in the car," Qin Chuan said. "Besides, there's nothing important to do here."

Is it nothing serious?

The two looked at Li Jianshe, who had just gotten out of the passenger seat. He was holding a stack of banknotes in his hands, the bank seal still on, which should be 100,000 yuan.

What's the point of having so much money? Isn't it inconvenient for the higher-ups to come down here?

“That’s right, that’s right, then let the leaders rest upstairs.” Guo Qing realized what was going on and said with a smile, “Our small factory doesn’t need the leaders to come in person. You two are people close to the leaders, so you can just give the order.”

"Yes, you two young men, shall we talk in our office?"

"No need. We heard that your factory has a 500-ton hydraulic press. Do you still need it? If you don't need it, we'll help you sell it. Our leader happens to have 100,000 yuan on hand. As long as you agree, we'll exchange the money for the goods."

"We don't need the hydraulic press anymore, but..."

Yang Zhanfu was still a little reluctant. For the machinery factory, the machining equipment was their lifeline! Selling the equipment would be a wasteful act.

Guo Qing tugged at him: "Director Yang, we're planning to switch to manufacturing other things anyway, so this hydraulic press is useless. Since the leaders have taken a liking to it, it's our honor!"

"What's more, we're short of money right now, and the higher-ups are being incredibly kind to us; it's like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"

Yang Zhanfu then realized that the machine was indeed useless to them now. They could get money by selling it, and with the money, they could switch to producing steel pipe rockets.

Moreover, the person who arrived in an Audi 100 must be a high-ranking leader; their factory can't afford to offend him!

Guo Qing went around trying to get a loan from a bank, but his factory was doing so poorly and had no future, so no bank dared to lend to them. This news reached the ears of the big boss in the car, who then helped to arrange the loan – a real lifesaver!

If they don't agree, how can the higher-ups help them in the future? That would be ungrateful.

Sell ​​it, 100,000 yuan is quite a lot anyway.

"That's right, thank you to the higher-ups for their timely help." Yang Zhanfu understood the situation and nodded and bowed.

“This is a lot of money, enough even for shipping. I’ll contact a Steyr truck to come over; this hydraulic press is very heavy,” Guo Qing continued.

Qin Chuan nodded: "Okay. Since your stamping machine is useless, then the mold is useless too, right?"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

The hydraulic press was sold, and the molds were naturally no longer needed, so they were given away. However, this place used to be a military factory, and those molds were used to make artillery shells! After they took over, those artillery shell molds were kept locked in the warehouse, and no one dared to touch them.

Do these people want to build cannonballs? They'll be eating peanuts in the process!

Seeing the looks on the faces of those around him, Qin Chuan realized what was going on: "What I need is mold steel. You can destroy the mold first, like burning it in half with an oxy-fuel cutter, or burning a big hole in it or something. I don't mind. Besides, this place has nothing to do with the military anymore."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he glanced at the car again.

There's a high-ranking leader in the car, what's there to be afraid of?

“That’s right, you’re right. We don’t need these molds anymore, so we’ll send them to you. Now, I’ll take you two inside to see the machine.” Yang Zhanfu finally relented.

"No need." Qin Chuan quickly wrote down the address and handed it to Yang Zhanfu: "Our leader is very busy, we have to go. By the way, please find the original invoices, instruction manual, etc. for the hydraulic press and give them to us together."

Li Jianshe had originally planned to go in and take a look, but he didn't expect Qin Chuan to leave so soon. So he had no choice but to turn back, wait for the car door to unlock, pull it open, and jump in.

You can't let others see behind you from your side of the car door.

Qin Chuan got into the car, and without even turning the car around, he put it in reverse, stepped on the gas, and the car reversed out.

With a sleek tailgate at the door, he rolled down the window and waved to the people standing there, ready to say a heartfelt goodbye: "Goodbye!"

"Please rest assured, it will definitely be delivered before tonight!"

"Brother Chuan, we haven't even checked the machines yet. This lousy factory hasn't been in operation for years. What if the machines break down?"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Return the bad ones to them."

With his memories from his past life, Qin Chuan was certain that the machines at Dongfeng Machinery Factory were still usable!

After all, he had come here to inspect the place before and even bought a few machines, including this hydraulic press.

"What if they don't give it to us?"

Qin Chuan patted the steering wheel: "How could that be? We came in an Audi!"
