49: Military visits

Until they walked out the front door, Deng Yue still had a dazed look on her face. The impact of what happened today was simply too great; that was a property worth over thirty million, yet Qin Yang hadn't even hesitated to have her sign her name on it alongside him.

Although the feelings between two people cannot be measured by money, money is the most reliable proof of love.

When Deng Yue finally came to her senses, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she slowly leaned into Qin Yang's embrace.

Seeing this, Qin Yang wiped the corners of Deng Yue's eyes with his hand. He didn't say much; sometimes, action is the best form of expression.

After dropping Deng Yue back at the store, they agreed to move into the large flat together the next morning, and only then did Qin Yang head back.

On the way back, Qin Yang received a call from Zhao Zhi. What Zhao Zhi said in the call caused Qin Yang's expression to turn extremely serious instantly. After hanging up, Qin Yang immediately told Wang Chao to turn the car around and head to the company headquarters.

Not long after, Qin Yang arrived at the company and took the private elevator directly to the twelfth floor.

When the elevator doors opened, Zhao Zhi and Qian Jin were already waiting at the entrance.

Qin Yang stepped out of the elevator and asked while walking, "What is the specific situation?"

"Boss, two major generals and a senior colonel have arrived. They introduced themselves as being from the General Armament Department and want to cooperate with our Qins Machinery Manufacturing Plant," Zhao Zhi introduced concisely.

"Where are they now?"

"I have invited them to my office. Furthermore, I have checked, and their identities are genuine," Zhao Zhi replied.

"Hmm, I understand. Take me to meet them. What must come will eventually come." Qin Yang nodded and replied. Ever since the super carburetor became a hit, Qin Yang had been mentally prepared for the state to come knocking. Dongda is an energy-deficient country, but to ensure the stability and safety of the military, most of the equipment currently in the armed forces still uses old-fashioned carburetor technology.

Although old technology is stable, fuel consumption and the endurance of various military equipment are major issues. As it happens, the super carburetor can solve this problem, so it is not surprising that the state has come to him.

In fact, it is nothing new for the state to seek out advanced technology. As early as ten years ago, a certain CCTV channel created a program called "I Love Invention." Once broadcast, this program attracted many folk masters. It was these folk masters who, using their ingenuity, invented many good things, such as portable water cutters, individual unmanned mobile combat robots, tactical folding ladders, new materials for bulletproof vests, and explosion-proof shields. Among them, the portable water cutter was originally invented to solve the problem of cutting gas cylinders, but it was later discovered that this type of water cutter could also be used for ammunition disposal, so the state sought them out and incorporated them. Today, the portable water cutter has become popularized and shares the cutting market equally with laser cutters. The individual unmanned combat robot was originally a remote-controlled car that a father built for his son, but after appearing on the show, the military quickly discovered its strong combat capability in urban warfare, so it was incorporated and, after many years of modification, became the current individual unmanned mobile combat robot. The tactical folding ladder was originally invented by the inventor just to change light bulbs. At that time, old-style ladders were heavy and large, making them tiring and inconvenient to carry, so the inventor wanted to make the ladder more convenient. After a long period of development, the inventor finally successfully developed the tactical folding ladder. This ladder can be folded into the size of a school bag in seconds, is easy to carry, and has very reliable safety, so it was also incorporated. Today, this type of ladder is widely used in firefighting and the military. It was precisely because some of these inventions involved sensitive issues that the program was eventually canceled.

Accompanied by Zhao Zhi and the others, Qin Yang arrived at Zhao Zhi's office. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw three soldiers in military uniforms sitting upright, drinking water.

Seeing someone enter, the three soldiers immediately stood up with smiles on their faces. "This must be the President Qin that President Zhao mentioned. Truly, a hero is born in his youth. Let me introduce myself; my name is Nie Yuan. This senior colonel comrade and I are from the National Defense General Armament Department, and this is Comrade Peng Xin, Commander of our Provincial Military District."

"Hello, leaders. I am Qin Yang." Looking at their dazzling military ranks, Qin Yang replied with an enthusiastic smile on his face.

After the introductions, they all took their seats.

Qin Yang asked, "May I ask what brings you leaders here today?"

Nie Yuan and the others exchanged glances, and Nie Yuan replied, "President Qin, our purpose for coming today is the super carburetor. Of course, please don't misunderstand; we are not here to seize this invention from your company. Regarding your company's super carburetor, we have already contacted Wang Jian, the head of Great Wall Motors, and conducted tests on-site. The test results were excellent, and there was no exaggeration. Such an outstanding product is something our General Armament Department would like to introduce for military use. Therefore, our purpose today is actually to place an order with you."

Hearing the other party say this, Qin Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The super carburetor was now a goose that laid golden eggs, and he was really afraid that the state would intervene and forcibly incorporate it. Although, even if it were incorporated, the military would still issue orders to Qin Yang's factory, but military orders are far less profitable than civilian orders. Now that the General Armament Department was only placing an order, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

Because of the military's endorsement, Qins Machinery Manufacturing Plant could be considered truly stabilized, and Qin Yang wouldn't have to worry about dealing with some parasites in the country trying to reach out and pluck the peaches. I'll leave it at that; those who understand, understand.

"Then, may I ask how many orders your side needs to place? You should have checked that our company's manufacturing plant is currently undergoing upgrades and renovations. Large orders will require more time to manufacture," Qin Yang said truthfully.

"We know that. Therefore, President Qin only needs to deliver this batch of orders within six months. We initially plan to order five million super carburetors. At this volume, I wonder what unit price President Qin can offer?" Nie Yuan asked.

Hearing the question, Qin Yang directly held up three fingers and said, "The unit price is three hundred. Since the item can be used for national defense construction, as a citizen of Dongda, I have an obligation and responsibility to support the country. Therefore, I will offer a unit price of three hundred, the same as for Great Wall Motors."

Hearing Qin Yang's reply, Nie Yuan and Peng Xin suddenly looked at each other and laughed. Nie Yuan said, "I told you President Qin wasn't the kind of mercenary villain. Old Peng, you guessed wrong!"

Peng Xin suddenly nodded with a smile, indicating his agreement with Nie Yuan's statement.

Then Nie Yuan explained, "I'm sorry, President Qin. Regarding the unit price just now, I made a bet with Commander Peng to see if you would give a unit price of three hundred or three thousand. As expected, I didn't misjudge you; President Qin is a conscientious businessman. We know that President Qin sells to other car companies mostly at a unit price of three thousand. Since President Qin is so conscientious, we naturally won't let President Qin suffer a loss. It's like this: Commander Peng will apply for tax reduction and exemption benefits for your company, and our General Armament Department will also issue you a military supplier plaque. I think this plaque should be able to block quite a few monsters and demons for you."

Upon receiving Nie Yuan's reply, a pleasantly surprised smile appeared on Qin Yang's face. The two conditions offered by the other party were truly excellent, and both were exactly what Qin Yang currently needed.
