Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Hey, Brother Changjiang, have you changed into new military uniforms?"

When he arrived at the final assembly line, Fang Xiang's first stop was Li Changjiang.

Speaking of Li Changjiang, we have had this relationship for more than ten years. At first, he worked with Mr. Hu in the General Armament Department.

After the reform, the position was transferred to the general assembly department.

"Well, this is the new 85-style military uniform. Didn't we plan to restore the military rank system and change the uniform to a new style at the same time?

However, the military rank system has been temporarily postponed due to some reasons, but the issuance of the new military uniforms will not be delayed.

By next year, it will be popularized throughout the army."

After welcoming Fang Xiang into the office, Li Changjiang took out a cigarette and handed it to Fang Xiang.

"Brother Changjiang, you don't need to ask me why I came this time, right?"

Fang wanted to move closer, light up a cigarette, take a puff, and wait until the tea was placed in front of him before he spoke.

"I'm asking about your new car, right?"

Li Changjiang also took a puff of his cigarette and nodded to Fang Xiang with a smile.

Now Li Changjiang is in the General Assembly Hall, and Li Huanghe has gone to the General Logistics Department, and the two brothers are separated.

But for the other party, it is a lot more convenient, after all, they can find acquaintances wherever they go.

Over the years, the two brothers have had frequent interactions with Fang Xiang and have long since treated him as an outsider.

"Well, how about it? Since there has been no news for so long, I have to go and find out the news myself."

Fang Xiang said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Li Changjiang is from the Security Department, which is more inclined towards logistics, but over the years, his rank has been promoted and he has been in this system for a long time.

There's no problem in finding out some information.

“You really asked the right person.

This time, I also took a ride with you. My leader knows that you and I have a good relationship, so I followed you almost throughout the test.

I originally planned to talk to you after the feedback was completed.

Now that you have delivered it to my door, I have saved myself the trouble."

Li Changjiang laughed, stood up, walked to the metal cabinet, and opened a locked door according to the serial number.

Take out some documents from it.

“These are all the information that has been fed back recently.

I have to say, it's you who really has a firm grasp of the general assembly's situation.

Actually, the final assembly department had intended to replace the old car with a new one a few years ago.

However, there is insufficient funding, and the country is now turning its attention to the economy.

This matter has been delayed.

But this time you brought this big bomb without any warning, which made several leaders happy and worried. "

After Li Changjiang pushed the file in front of Fang Xiang, he also sighed a few words.

"Why, are you planning to use me as a shield and ask the treasury for money?"

Fang Xiang casually flipped through the document. He had memorized the data on it when he was in the factory.

However, when they get to the military, they still have to go through the process.

However, Fang Xiang heard other meanings in Li Changjiang's words.

“I have no problem with using me as a shield.

But your purchase order is too thin, which is unacceptable."

Before Li Changjiang could speak, Fang Xiang spoke again.

“You’re really right.

Do you know why it took so long?

We were arguing about the order quantity, but nothing was accomplished.”

After hearing what Fang Xiang said, Li Changjiang started laughing again.

“Originally, the funding was limited, and the ministry suggested purchasing in small quantities and making changes as they were used.

Wait until there are no problems, everyone is satisfied, and there is sufficient funding, then purchase in large quantities.

But later on, after driving for a while, I found that the car you built is really damn useful.

Except for the high price, there is nothing wrong with it.

This put the department in a difficult position.

As you know, all parties are cutting their fees now.

If you put this car in front of your leader at this critical juncture, wouldn't that make things difficult for a large group of people?

You know, the annual funding is limited, and there has been a rumor leaked from above.

We need to make a big reduction in the military. You see, if you add the two together, your car will be delayed until this point."

I turned my head and looked at the office door, which was tightly closed.

In the room, only Fang Xiang and Li Changjiang himself lowered their voices and revealed the news.

"Brother Changjiang, to be honest, I don't plan to produce this car myself.

As for the old Jeep, I also plan to dismantle it from Second Automobile Works and return it to BAIC.

Including this car, your military orders in the future can just be placed with BAIC.

I plan to make a civilian version of this car and sell it both domestically and overseas.

So, my idea is, after your military order is confirmed, do you have any additional requirements for the civilian version?

Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the order issue, that is BAIC’s headache.”

After listening to Li Changjiang's words, Fang Xiang finally understood.

When it comes to disarmament, no one knows it better than Fang Xiang, and Fang Xiang is not here to urge the military to place an order.

His goal is to quickly launch a civilian version.

In North America, the demand for these large and medium-sized off-road vehicles is a bottomless pit.

We sell as much as you bring over.

But this car, after all, has the same chassis and frame as the military one, so even if it is a civilian car, it can be sold abroad.

The military also needs to agree, right?

“I see…

If this is the case, it would be easier to deal with.

You know, you are very popular now, and many leaders in the department still remember your kindness.

On the one hand, I'm worried that you'll be unhappy if there are fewer orders, and on the other hand, I'm worried that if there are too many orders, I won't have enough money to spend.

If you put it that way, it becomes a simple matter.

Come on, follow me to meet the leader."

After hearing what Fang Xiang said, Li Changjiang was so happy that he almost slammed the table.

He immediately stood up and planned to take Fang Xiang to meet the leader.

"No need for that. It's just a small matter. How inappropriate would it be to trouble Mr. Wang again?"

When Fang Xiang heard that Li Changjiang wanted to take him to see Mr. Wang, he thought it was a bit of an exaggeration.

"What's the point of saying this? It's inappropriate. You're here, why don't you go and meet Mr. Wang?

When Mr. Wang finds out about this, he will just say that I am busy and don’t have time, but he will say that I am immature.

Walk around. "

Seeing Fang Xiang hesitate, Li Changjiang immediately reached out and took Fang Xiang away.

"Mr. Wang, Xiao Fang is here. I'll bring him over to meet you."

Soon, Li Changjiang took Fang Xiang upstairs and walked to the door of an office.

"Xiao Fang? Oh oh oh, Xiao Fang is here. Come on, come in and sit down."

In the office, there was a white-haired old man who didn't react at first.

When he saw Fang Xiang standing at the door, he quickly waved and invited him in.

"Xiao Li, go pour two cups of tea. I just have something to discuss with Xiao Fang."

As soon as Fang Xiang sat in front of Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang started to greet him.

"Okay, then you go ahead and talk, I'll wait at the door."

Li Changjiang is also a smart man and knows what Mr. Wang means.

After pouring the tea, he immediately walked to the door and closed it.

"Tell me, did you hear some rumors and come to me for information?"

After seeing Li Changjiang close the door and there were only two people left in the office, Mr. Wang spoke with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? Is there something that I don't know about recently?"

Fang Xiang was so smart that he immediately understood the meaning from the words.

He quickly lowered his voice and moved forward.

"You kid, are you pretending to be me?

Don't tell me you didn't just come from Lao Liu's place."

Mr. Wang didn't believe it. After throwing a cigarette to Fang Xiang, he still smiled.

"Really not, I just arrived yesterday, and Mr. Yu from the National Working Committee came to meet me and we had a big drink together.

Look, I just came out of the 402 Institute and I'm here with you. I haven't even had time to see my father-in-law yet."

The Old Liu that Old Wang mentioned is naturally Fang Xiang’s father-in-law, Liu Shuying’s father.

From the tone of voice, it was clear that something big had happened.

He quickly explained.

"You really don't know?"

The smile on Mr. Wang's face disappeared and he asked seriously.

"really do not know."

Fang wanted to sit up straight immediately.

"The Shanghai Stock Exchange is about to change."

Mr. Wang stared at Fang Xiang for a long time, making sure that Fang Xiang was not lying to him.

Only then did he utter a word slowly.
