Material Empire

I don't want subsidies or anything. Qin Hai said with a smile, I am very satisfied to have a chance to learn from Teacher Chen.

You can say that, but I'm really sorry. Yue Guoyang said, You helped Professor Chen and the others solve a big problem, and you also gave us a good suggestion for military-local cooperation. I always feel like I'm bullying children, Professor Chen, don't you think so?

Chen Heqian smiled and nodded again and again: Commander Yue is right, I also think we bully children too much.

Qin Hai smiled and said, Why do I feel that what Commander Yue and Mr. Chen said seems to be teasing me? While you are saying sorry, you are crying desperately. Isn't that making me happy?

Yue Guoyang waved his hand and said: This is not to make you happy. It is true that our army is too poor. We want to give you some subsidies, but we can't find a name. How about this? If you have any requests, just ask them, as long as they are in If I can do it within my authority, I will definitely do it for you, what do you think?

Hearing Yue Guoyang's words, Ge Dongyan's eyes almost popped out. When did the commander say such generous words? It seems that this Qin Hai really caught the commander's fancy, and he was able to make such a big promise. promise.

Of course, there is a reason for Yue Guoyang to be so generous. First, he felt that Qin Hai had been recruited to work for no reason, and that Qin Hai had indeed achieved extraordinary results. He didn't express himself at all, and he really owed Qin Hai. Secondly, Qin Hai's plan of military-local cooperation has already moved him, and he has some willingness to cooperate with Qin Hai, so he also hopes to use some method to win over Qin Hai so that he can wholeheartedly cooperate with the army.

As for what kind of request Qin Hai would make, Yue Guoyang really couldn't think of it for a while. He felt that Qin Hai should not make too much request, after all, he was a young man who knew how to advance and retreat.

Qin Hai hesitated for a while pretending to be reserved, and asked, Commander Yue, are you serious?

There is no joke in the army. Yue Guoyang said.

Qin Haidao: If that's the case, then I have an unfeeling request. I don't know if Commander Yue can accept it.

You can say yes, as long as you don't violate the principle, I can agree. Yue Guoyang said.

Qin Haidao: Can Commander Yue lend me a car?

You mean to find a car to take you back to Pingyuan? Yue Guoyang asked subconsciously without realizing it.

Qin Haidao: No, I just lent me a car. If you want to build a factory, you have a lot of things to do. It's too inconvenient not to have a car.

Yue Guoyang frowned, and said: There are plenty of cars, but the army has limited drivers, and it seems inappropriate to send a driver to follow you, right?

Qin Haidao: I didn't say to have a driver, I just drive myself.

You know how to drive? Yue Guoyang felt a little surprised. Learning to drive was a big deal in those days. If you weren't a driver in your work unit, you wouldn't have the opportunity to learn to drive. Qin Hai is just a foundry worker. When did he learn to drive?

Qin Hai had no choice but to make it up: When I was in the countryside, I learned how to drive from a driver in the countryside. The skills are fine, but I don't have a driver's license. I was at the base these days and saw a lot of idle jeeps, so I want to borrow one from Commander Yue.

In the mid-1980s, there was a large-scale disarmament across the country, and a lot of equipment was freed up by various troops, and jeeps were one of them. Many units under the provincial military region were withdrawn and merged. The vehicles that were originally equipped for unit leaders and other purposes were put on hold, and some of them were stored in the barracks of the missile unit. Qin Hai was active in the barracks these days, and when he found these dusty jeeps, he became confused.

At that time, taxis were still a rare thing, and there was absolutely no such thing in Pingyuan County, and even Hongze City had only a few dozen taxis, mainly serving foreign guests and some government departments. If people want to walk around, they can only take trains or long-distance buses, and the frequency of long-distance buses is also very limited, which adds a lot of trouble to interpersonal communication.

If you have a car for your own use, the situation is very different. Qin Hai didn't intend to stay in the agricultural machinery factory honestly as a worker, it was very necessary to get his own car.

Hearing Qin Hai's request, Yue Guoyang thought for a few seconds, then turned his head and said to Ge Dongyan: Xiao Ge, you will take Qin Hai back to the missile base later, find a trolley, and try his skills. If his skills can After passing the customs, help him get a driver's license and lend him a car, but you have to change the local license plate first, so don't let him drive a military car around to cause trouble.

Yes! Ge Dongyan agreed loudly, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart, this Qin Hai is so monstrous, he dared to make such an outrageous request in front of the commander, and the commander would still agree.

Thank you, Commander Yue! Qin Hai quickly stood up and thanked Yue Guoyang. To be honest, he made this request with the attitude of giving it a try. He never expected that Yue Guoyang would actually agree.

This car is not for you to go for a ride, but for you to do business. Yue Guoyang agreed to Qin Hai's request on a whim, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. You can start thinking about things right now. I will arrange for people to handle the name and steelmaking equipment. As for recommending engineer shovels to Liangyi, this matter cannot be rushed. We need to wait. Our army is sure If you need these engineering shovels, you should prepare 100 in the early stage and equip Xiaoge and his troops.

Yes! Qin Hai followed Ge Dongyan's example and readily agreed.

Xiao Ge, you go to the logistics department. In my name, borrow 2,000 yuan and hand it over to Qin Hai. He needs funds to make an engineering shovel. Yue Guoyang gave Ge Dongyan another order. After the order, he specially asked Qin Hai Hai explained: The money is only lent to you. In the future, if you earn money, you must return it to the army. If you take the money to eat, drink and have fun...

Qin Hai didn't wait for Yue Guoyang to finish, then smiled and said: Don't worry, Commander Yue, no matter how insane I am, I won't dare to blackmail the army's money, right? Otherwise, Platoon Leader Ge can take care of me by himself.

That makes sense. Yue Guoyang nodded in satisfaction.

Coming out of Yue Guoyang, Chen Heqian looked at Qin Hai completely differently. Previously, Chen Heqian was familiar with the knowledge shown by Qin Hai. What surprised him was that Qin Hai's education was not commensurate with his knowledge. But after this negotiation with Yue Guoyang, Chen Heqian's view of Qin Hai completely changed. He realized that Qin Hai had a talent that scholars like him did not possess, that is, the ability to operate.

Realizing this, Chen Heqian no longer brought up the topic of inviting Qin Hai to the capital. He felt a little disappointed in his heart, and felt that it was a pity that such a talent had business experience all over his head.

Ge Dongyan took Qin Hai back to the base, and he found a jeep out of the closed jeep, drove it to an empty field, and let Qin Hai test drive it. When Qin Hai was learning his driver's license in his previous life, he used this type of jeep. After a short period of awkwardness, he became able to operate it freely. He tried all the subjects he had passed, and Chen Heqian and others who were watching from the side applauded.

Not bad. Ge Dongyan nodded again and again, Xiao Qin, I really can't see that your car drives so well. Do you often drive when you are at home?

Qin Hai really wanted to tell Ge Dongyan that he had driven across the Qinghai-Tibet Line and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line, but how could such a thing be humane to outsiders? He could only hide it and said: Plisoner Ge is over the award, in fact, the number of times I drive is very limited... Uh, but the master who taught me to drive also said that I am born with a good sense of driving, maybe it is because I have a relationship with cars. .”

With such technology, I can give you a car. Ge Dongyan said, When you asked the commander to borrow a car, I sweated for you, for fear that you could not drive well.

Qin Haidao: How is this possible? Platoon Leader Ge should also know me. When will my words not count?

Ge Dongyan smiled and said: You said that. Since you mean what you say, let's make an agreement. You must provide me with 100 military shovels within a month. Otherwise, I will take us to Qingfeng Factory find you.

Sure enough, the military is acting in a vigorous and resolute manner. Early in the morning of the second day after Ge Dongyan appraised Qin Hai's driving skills, Zhu Chongwu came to the base with a driver's license and a local license plate. He asked Ge Dongyan to replace the military plate on the jeep with the local license plate, then handed the driver's license to Qin Hai, and said, Xiao Qin, this is the driver's license I got for you through the back door, you must drive carefully, If something goes wrong, Captain Li and I will be implicated by you.

Hehe, no, no. Qin Hai smiled dryly, took over the driver's license, feeling deeply moved. You don't need to take a test, you don't even see a policeman, and you can get a driver's license. The power of this power is really infinite.

Zhu Chongwu took out another small book from his pocket, handed it to Qin Hai, and said, This is a fuel book. You can refuel at various gas stations, but you have to pay for the fuel yourself. Our troops can't help you. Pay for the gas.

No need, this is enough. Qin Hai hurriedly put away the fuel book, thanked Zhu Chongwu and Ge Dongyan, got into the car, put the gear on, and drove the jeep away from the base and drove towards Pingyuan.
