Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xishan, Experimental Center of the Ministry of Ordnance.  The enthusiasm of mainland manufacturers for weapons orders from the Dongyue Empire far exceeded Lin Dong's expectations. Thousands of mainland business representatives gathered here. These long-sleeved businessmen gathered together to talk excitedly, as if they had seen huge checks.  waving to them.  The conference room could not accommodate so many business representatives, so Lin Dong directly asked people to set up a temporary conference center in a wide open space. Hundreds of old wooden boxes were stacked together, covered with bright red carpets, and loudspeakers were placed.  The card is simple and practical.  Lin Dong, Maya and several secretaries walked up to the podium. Lin Dong glanced at the dense crowd of heads in the audience and said: "Be quiet, everyone, the weapons bidding project of the Dongyue Empire Arms Department is about to begin. Every company participating in the bid will  Everyone must pay a deposit of 10 million pesos and receive their respective number plates. If you have not received your number plate, please hurry up and go to the east temporary office to go through the bidding procedures." As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of representatives came late.  Then he ran towards the east. There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. A middle-aged man with a big beard said to his companions: "Look at these people's panic. What have they been doing? Even the preparations have not been completed."  If you dare to bid if you can't do well, these people have already lost before the bidding begins. " "That's right, this Dongyue Empire's multi-trillion-peso arms bidding is a huge cake. No matter how big the cake is, it cannot be for everyone.  "Everyone has eaten. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." "How did you do when I asked you to inquire about the weapons department's plan?" "It's useless. This plan was completely planned by Prince Lin Dong. No one except him."  I don¡¯t know how to operate it specifically. ¡°Big Beard nodded and said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as there is no secret operation, everything is possible. We are all on the same starting line. With the strength of our Dahe Trading Company, we are qualified to get a share of the pie.  "The boss is still wise. As soon as he got the news, he started to withdraw all the funds. As of yesterday, our cash flow on the book has exceeded 50 billion pesos, which is not worse than many super large companies." The bearded man said with some pride.  "This is called preparing for a rainy day, boy, learn more." Lin Dong stood on the stage and continued: "This time the weapons procurement work of the Ordnance Department will be split into two parts. The current one is the army weapons.  Supplier bidding, there are a total of four bidding projects for Army weapons. You can bid for any project according to your own strength. For each project, the ten merchants with the highest bidding prices will be selected as the imperial weapons suppliers. " " Let's start the first project now.  "Grenade is a throwing explosive weapon with a metal shell and high-explosive gunpowder in the middle. This kind of weapon has a relatively low technical level and can be produced by small workshops. However, if the bidding company cannot complete the needs of the empire,  If the order quantity is not up to standard, or the quality is not up to standard, you will be removed from the supplier list as soon as possible, and the deposit will be confiscated. If you still don¡¯t understand anything, you can raise your hands and ask.¡±  Hundreds of arms were raised at the same time. Lin Dong took a look and said, "Ladies first, what's your problem with that brown-haired beauty?" The brown-haired beauty named by Lin Dong looked like she was twenty-seven or eighty-years-old.  Wearing a pair of square glasses and short hair, he looks very capable. Standing among the men, he feels like he stands out from the crowd.  " The brown-haired beauty pushed up her glasses and said, "Minister Lin, I am the person in charge of Tiannan Trading. I have two questions to ask.  " The crowd booed. Tiannan Trading is a top-notch trading company in the mainland and ranks among the top fifty in the mainland. Unexpectedly, their person in charge is a young woman. "First, we, Tiannan Trading, hope to get more than one project from the empire.  order, if we get this 'grenade' project, can we still continue to bid for other bidding projects?  " Lin Dong smiled and said: "You Tiannan Trading has a big appetite. As long as you have enough strength, of course you can continue to bid for other projects.  " The heads of some large groups in the crowd nodded. None of these people's appetites are worse than Tiannan Trading. It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and no one will complain about too much money. "The second question, this time the bidding  We need to pay a lot of deposits. Let me make an assumption now. If there is a company with total assets of 10 billion, and then they place a bid at a price of 10 billion, this is already all their funds, and they have no money left.  The money is used for production, but they can split the contract to other companies that did not invest in the bid, let them produce and make profits for themselves. Is this considered a violation?  " Lin Dong's face became very serious, and he said: "The question you mentioned is very representative. I can tell everyone clearly that you?You can arrange for other companies to perform OEM processing. Take grenades as an example. A small grenade requires many public factories to jointly produce it.  " "First of all, the winning bidder needs an explosives production plant. Having explosives is only the first step. It also needs a separate factory to produce the fuze, a factory to make the casing, a factory to make the mechanical kits, and a factory to do the final assembly.  " "In principle, as long as the minimum monthly production limit of the Ordnance Department can be reached, it is okay to split it up and hand it over to other companies to process parts after winning the bid. However, I have a minimum requirement, that is, the final assembly process must be completed by the winning bidder alone.  , this link involves the quality of military supplies, and we must not take it lightly. The Ministry of Ordnance will send special commissioners to each assembly factory to supervise product quality. If any inferior grenade flows into the army, I can tell you responsibly.  Will be immediately disqualified from being an imperial weapons supplier.  " "Moreover, you will become the sinners of the empire and be sent to a military court for treason!  ¡± The audience was all sighing, ¡°Oh my God!  Crime of treason!  Isn't this too serious?  " "This crime seems very scary. It should be sentenced to death, right?  "    "snort!  Everything has to pay a price. If you want to get the maximum benefit, you need to take the highest risk. If you are afraid, just quit.  " Lin Dong waved his arm, and the venue immediately became silent. No one left. Under the temptation of huge interests, these businessmen showed unusual fanaticism. Lin Dong said seriously: "Let me explain to you treason first.  "The businessmen in the audience were not very clear about the laws of the empire, and they all pricked up their ears to hear what was so terrible about this crime of treason. "Anyone who commits treason will not have the right to hire a lawyer to defend himself, and will be deprived of all citizenship.  Rights and interests, no one is allowed to visit during the detention period, until the judgment takes effect or death, the defendant must unconditionally obey any judgment of the empire and cannot appeal. Once the judgment takes effect, it can never be changed. After serving the sentence, the prisoner will be exiled and will not be allowed to set foot in the Shuangyue Empire for life.  .  Lin Dong said sternly. The expressions of the businessmen in the audience changed drastically. This crime of treason is too severe. Even murderers still have a chance to defend themselves. However, this crime of treason does not even give them a chance to defend themselves. Anyone who commits this crime will  Without this law, we can only sit back and wait for death. Weapons production is related to the survival of mankind. It must be managed with iron and blood methods. Without saying a word, Lin Dong used the killing stick. Those businessmen who were interested in opportunism were shocked and died early.  I didn¡¯t dare to hit Xiao Jiujiu anymore. Now that the big stick has been thrown, it¡¯s time to give the merchants some sweetness. Otherwise, who will make weapons if the water is clear?  , Lin Dong understands this truth. Businessmen will definitely use various conditions to maximize their profits. This is their nature. Lin Dong¡¯s big stick policy is just to put an end to serious counterfeiting. As for the insignificant details, Lin Dong  Dong didn't want to take care of it, and couldn't. Lin Dong cleared his throat and continued: "Treason is a very serious crime, but the empire will not put this crime on you casually. You are all old experts in the mall.  You are more expert than me in how to eliminate inferior products. As long as there are no problems with the quality of the weapons, not only will you not have to worry about treason, but you will also get huge benefits.  " "As the empire's weapons supplier, I believe you all know how much profit there is in weapons production. Moreover, this is only the first weapons tender. According to the Ministry of Military Affairs' vision, the empire will update four weapons in the next three years.  There are thousands of types of weapons and equipment in major categories, and the purchase amount is at least tens of trillions!  ¡± The crowd is excited, tens of trillions! Even if there is only 10% profit, that is several trillion pesos! These wealthy mainland businessmen seem to have seen countless 10,000-yuan banknotes falling from the sky, piled up into hills, and they are  The merchants were like this in the middle of the river made of banknotes. They were just worried about whether the treason was too severe, but with Lin Dong's encouragement, they began to think about the bright future. "Prince Lin."  That makes sense, as long as we control the quality of our products, it will be fine.  " "Since my grandfather's generation, our family has made countless iron pots. Not a single pot is defective. It can also be used to make weapons.  " "With so much money, I'm willing to do it no matter how big the risk is!"  At worst, my whole family will stay up all day and night and just watch the workers producing. When I get the money, I will use the money to make a bed and sleep with him for three days and three nights. If I want to sleep, I can sleep lying down, and if I want to sleep on my side, I can sleep on my side.  sleep!  " Lin Dong smiled and looked at these almost crazy businessmen who were stimulated by huge profits. He struck while the iron was hot: "Okay everyone, the first round of bidding will begin now!  You are sureAre you ready?  "    "Ready!  "Thousands of red-eyed businessmen made a voice louder than the army, and everyone had an indescribable excitement. "The first round of bidding is a hidden bid!  The ten highest bidders will win the production rights, and all relevant technical information will be given away free of charge!  Free gift, friends!  If you were asked to develop explosives yourself, how many years do you think it would take?  One or two years or ten or eight years?  Now, I am giving you these precious information for free. Once you get the information, you can put it into production immediately. The produced products can be sold to the empire immediately and can be exchanged for banknotes. How can you still do such a good thing?  What are you waiting for!  ¡± Lin Dong¡¯s extremely inflammatory words made the scene lively. No, to be precise, it was crazy! Thousands of mainland¡¯s top businessmen were all crazy about it! ¡­ In the office, Maya and Lin Dong sat together and had lunch.  , two meat and two vegetables and one soup. The Xishan base is far away from the city and can only provide the most basic working meals. Although the dishes are average, Lin Dong and Maya ate with gusto. ¡°Maya, you have overcome the technical problems of these weapons in such a short time.  Thank you so much for your hard work.  "Lin Dong put down his chopsticks and said. Maya smiled slightly and said: "This is nothing. Fortunately, your thinking is relatively clear. If I were to design such a primitive weapon, I'm afraid it would be too complicated. Just thinking about improving combat effectiveness would make it too complicated.  The productivity of this planet has been ignored.  " Lin Dong lit the pipe and took a deep breath, "What's the use of ideas? I only know a little bit about it. If you really want me to design things like rifling, I don't have the ability. Even simple weapons are involved.  When it comes to things like physics and chemistry that give me a headache, the little I learned from books has long since been given back to the teacher.  " "Maya, it's great to have you.  "Lin Dong looked at Maya and said affectionately. Maya's face turned slightly red. Lin Dong's sweet words are like drugs. If you listen to them too much, you will become addicted and never get tired of them. Every time she hears Lin Dong say this, she will find a sense of selflessness.  Happiness that I have never experienced before, "It turns out that being a primitive person is so fun.  "Maya thought. "Are you still eating?  "Maya said, looking at the small amount of food on the plate. Lin Dong shook his head, "I'm full.  " Maya chuckled, poured all the leftovers on the plate into the soup bowl, and ate it with a spoon. She didn't look like a lady at all. "Isn't it ugly for me to eat like this?  "Maya asked. Lin Dong chuckled and said: "What's so ugly? I just like your sincerity and your naturalness. When I'm with you, life always feels very real. You're not as pretentious as other girls.  Just do whatever you want, what's the point of pretending.  ¡± Maya now understands more and more human behaviors and habits. Lin Dong can feel that she is working hard to make herself a two-moon person, but Lin Dong prefers her as she is. After all, that is the real Maya.  At this time, Deputy Minister of Arms Neuer knocked on the door and walked in. He held a fresh form in his hand, "Minister Lin, we are really successful this time. The contract has been signed.  The deposit amount alone for this bidding was 800 billion pesos, and the purchase price was 15% lower than expected. These sub-businessmen were really desperate for profit. Each of the 40 suppliers had a deposit of 20 billion pesos.  They actually took it out without even blinking.  " "They would never have imagined that our weapons department's high-profile purchases actually didn't even cost a penny, and the payment paid to them was their deposit.  Minister Lin, how did you come up with this idea? I really admire you!  " Neuer said excitedly. Lin Dong blew out a round smoke ring and watched it dissipate in the air. "This is called capital operation. Businessmen are not fools. Although they don't make much from this order, the water flows steadily.  The empire cannot make just this purchase. It cannot suffer losses by relying on the big tree of the empire. Weapons and equipment are consumables. You can earn one billion from the empire in one year, but what about ten years?  What about a hundred years?  As long as the empire does not fall, this business will continue.  " "And the technology is given to them for free. The research and development expenses alone cost them more than billions. I know that the empire has abundant private funds, but I didn't expect these businessmen to be so rich. The mortgage of 20 billion is still collected.  is lower.  " Neuer blinked and thought to himself: "We only received 800 billion in deposits for a total of more than 300 billion orders. Isn't that too little?  Lin Dong is really dark.  " "What Minister Lin said makes sense. How about we increase the deposit for the aircraft bidding in the afternoon?  " Neuer asked. Lin Dong laughed loudly, "That's not possible. Aircraft production is not the small project in the morning.At present, there are no more than twenty manufacturers capable of manufacturing aircraft, and aircraft and cannons are two completely different concepts. Things like mountain cannons and grenades do not require much start-up capital, as long as there are simple machinery and enough workers.  It can be manufactured, but it is different with airplanes. Even if we give them the drawings, these manufacturers will need to purchase new machinery and equipment before they can produce them.  " "If we drain all their funds at once just for immediate profit, what will they use to buy raw materials?  What to buy new equipment for?  " Neuer nodded, "It is true that my subordinates thought simply. Is this plane really that effective?  You must know that the amount of this aircraft order exceeds one trillion pesos. In addition to building airports and training pilots, the cost of the Air Force is really astronomical.  Lin Dong raised a finger in front of Neuer and said seriously: "Remember, the role of aircraft in modern warfare is decisive, no one else."  Aircraft can not only detect the enemy's situation from high altitudes, but also bomb the enemy's bases indiscriminately. While killing the enemy, it will also greatly reduce the enemy's morale.  " "Besides, with transport planes, our troops can arrive at even the most remote battlefield within a day. Fighter planes are fleeting, and sometimes a minute's advantage can change the situation on the entire battlefield. Now the people of the gods have inexplicably withdrawn.  The battlefield has given us a rare development time. During this time, we must establish our own air force system, absolutely!  must!  " Neuer did not expect that Lin Dong would value the construction of the Air Force so much. After all, he is a bi-monthly man and does not understand the true value of aircraft. He just thinks that aircraft are too expensive. The price of an aircraft is almost as high as  The same weight of gold. "Yes, I understand what you mean. I will definitely send the most capable officers in the department to keep an eye on the aircraft and do my best.  "Noelle said firmly. Lin Dong thought for a while and said to Maya: "Maya, how long will it take to get the blueprints for the bomb?  " Maya had already wiped out all the remaining food. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief with satisfaction and said: "I plan to spend more energy on the bomb and strive to improve its performance to a higher level. Now the aircraft  The production has not yet been implemented and there is still some time for more detailed studies.  " Lin Dong nodded and said: "Well, I understand, don't worry, as long as the final design can be completed before the mass production of the aircraft.  " Neuer thought for a while and said: "Minister, I remember you also mentioned several individual weapons for soldiers. Why didn't they all be tendered together this time?  " Lin Dong sighed and said: "You are talking about firearms. I have done the math. The cost of using firearms is higher than that of jammed weapons, and they also need to carry a large amount of ammunition. The soldiers' load has increased, not to mention that the ammunition has been used up.  It needs to be supplemented in time. In general, card weapons are more suitable for individual combat. Besides, the number of members of the Royal Card Makers Association has increased a lot these days. It is still possible to ensure the supply of cards for individual soldiers. We will talk about firearms later.  Bar.  " At this time, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, "Minister Lin, representatives of the 47 mainland manufacturers that are capable of participating in aircraft manufacturing have arrived. When do you think the aircraft bidding will be held?  " Lin Dong knocked the dust out of his pipe, stood up and said, "Notify me, all staff will be in place, and the aircraft bidding will begin immediately.  The army weapons tender in the morning was just child's play. This aircraft tender is our focus today. Let's go and meet these future aircraft manufacturers.  ¡± <ahref=http://www.>www.,!
