Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 443 Weapon and Ammunition Production Authorization! (Second Update!)

Upon seeing the lying figure, the secretary of Sheyang quickly covered his face with his hands and began to sob, but his voice sounded strange and didn't sound like he was crying at all.

What's even more outrageous is that his body was also trembling incessantly—it was from laughing!
Hearing the laughter, the secretary of Jinghai reached out, grabbed the last crumpled piece of paper from Cao Gang's hand, and unfolded it.

The note was clean; there was nothing on it.

At this moment, the secretary of Jinghai gave up completely. He solemnly put away the note, slowly walked up to Cao Gang, and was about to speak when Qin Chao leaned over and said, "Um... Old Zhao, if you really think this is too difficult, you can let me do it."

"I am willing to bear this undeserved disaster!"

"What's it to you!" Cao Gang turned his head, glared at Qin Chao, and then turned to the Party Secretary near the sea and said:
“Jingsong, this shipyard being located in your Jinghai is only good for Jinghai, not bad. Don’t look like you’ve been wronged.”

“You may think that investing tens of thousands of acres of land along the river in this shipyard is a loss, but I can tell you that in the next three to five years, or even ten years, this shipyard will definitely be able to support your Jinghai.”

"After you get back, do a good job of persuading the other comrades in the city."

"Tell them not to bring their emotions into their work!"

After giving Zhao Jingsong his instructions, Cao Gang returned to his desk, took out an opened brown paper bag from the drawer, and solemnly placed it in Zhao Jingsong's hand.

"on!"

…………

"Secretary Qin, please repeat what you just said. What are you congratulating me on?"

After things quieted down on Lin Yi's end, Qin Chao on the other end of the phone probably felt that the news was too shocking and had frightened him.

He took a deep breath on the other end of the phone and repeated what he had just said in a very serious but extremely calm voice.

Hearing the repeated content, Lin Yi held his phone, standing under the scorching sun in early September, his mind replaying Qin Chao's words over and over, feeling a chill run through his body.

What the hell?

A shipyard covering 3 mu?
Dual-use shipyard (military and civilian)?
Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group invested?

Is there another Xiaomi Heavy Industry in this world?
No, it should be: Is there another version of myself in this world, this guy who went behind my back to set up that so-called shipyard?
What the hell!

Is it so scary?

Thinking to himself, he walked to the shady spot nearby and spent a few more minutes asking for more details.

After memorizing these details, Lin Yi hung up the phone, took a deep breath to calm his anxious mood, and immediately called Zhu Jingyao:
"Mr. Zhu, do you know anything about the shipyard that covers 3 mu?"

Zhu Jingyao, sitting opposite him, was visibly surprised by the question. After a few seconds, he cautiously asked, "Hasn't Gao Hai arrived yet?"

"Not there yet!"

"Then let me explain!" Zhu Jingyao's tone paused noticeably, and after a brief breath, his explanation followed:

"Last Wednesday, Gao Hai contacted me and said that the aircraft carrier's deck, hangar, and some other parts would be completed this week, and that I should quickly prepare a storage site."

"After receiving his call, I dug out all my previous projects, compared their progress horizontally, and checked the relevant quality control."

"I found that you have a perfect grasp of both project progress and project quality."

"At that time, I had a bold idea: since you control the sub-projects so perfectly, why not do a complete project?"

"For example, taking the design requirements as a standalone document and building a warship!"

"However, building warships requires authorization, and you don't have that authorization, so I can only try to find a way to help you get it."

"I wrote an application form, asked Guo Song and the others to sign it, and then submitted it to the leadership."

"I don't know who the leader contacted, but I submitted the list on Wednesday, and the application was approved on Friday."

"Then there were some collaborative letters, which were sent directly to our local colleagues."

"It was only yesterday, Tuesday afternoon, that I received the feedback from Jiangsu Province, and that finally confirmed that the shipyard would be located in Jinghai."

"I organized the information overnight and gave it to Gao Hai this morning. I asked him to come and give it to you as soon as possible."

"Then you said he hadn't arrived yet..."

"This is getting a bit troublesome..."

Zhu Jingyao's voice had barely come out of the phone when Lin Yi heard a knock on the door. Then, Gao Hai pushed open the door and peeked his head out from under the crack.
"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way, I'm late."

Seeing him, Lin Yi sighed and said to Zhu Jingyao on the phone:
"Mr. Zhu, Gao Hai has arrived. He said there was some traffic on the way."

"Let me talk to him first, then I'll contact you again. I'm hanging up now!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi extended his right hand directly to Gao Hai: "Where's the information?"

"Here!" Gao Hai tossed the suitcase he was carrying in front of Lin Yi. The suitcase landed on the table with a thud: "Password: Six 6s!"

"6!" Lin Yi didn't want to comment on the password; he just wanted to look at the information.

The box was opened, and on top was the application that Zhu Jingyao had mentioned, and below were the relevant approval documents.

Holding the two documents in his hands, one in each hand, Lin Yi multitasked, reading both documents simultaneously.

[Requesting special permission for Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group to manufacture warships, leveraging Xiaomi Heavy Industry's strong industrial manufacturing and research capabilities to accelerate the development of my country's navy...]

[Approval... The 80515 Research Institute and Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group are cooperating, with the 80515 Research Institute holding 51% of the shares and Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group holding 49%.]

Is the shipyard affiliated with the 80515 Research Institute?

I'm working with myself?
What genius came up with this idea?

[The relevant management model can refer to America's military industrial group, where the government puts forward the relevant requirements and Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group provides the specific design concepts and design solutions.]

Finally, the official procurement of the corresponding design方案 will be conducted, and Xiaomi Heavy Industry will manufacture according to the design方案 and deliver the final product. For safety reasons, the corresponding weapon systems can be designed and built separately by other departments, and then integrated into the final system.

[Approval... After comprehensive discussion, in order to ensure the integrity of the ship, it has been decided to adopt the suggestion and hereby approve the shipyard under the 80515 Research Institute to produce and manufacture the corresponding weapon systems, including the corresponding ammunition. However, prior approval is required, and the ship must pass a production and manufacturing safety assessment and a confidentiality assessment.]

While his brain was still processing the news, his eyes had already moved on to the next paragraph. He realized something was amiss, so he turned his attention back to the previous paragraph and slowly read from the beginning to the end.

Finally, he saw this passage again.

I was able to see the content of the text clearly.

We can produce weapon systems!

Including ammunition!

I stared at these few sentences and read them over and over again, even trying to pry them off with my fingers, but they were printed in one piece and couldn't be pried off.

Therefore, this approval was no joke. With these two documents, Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group gained the qualification to produce weapons and ammunition.

They're all talented, they're all living fathers!
Although I have a dream of becoming a teacher, it doesn't mean I actually want to be one.

Selling a bunch of things that are ostensibly civilian products but are actually bombs doesn't mean you actually want to produce weapons and ammunition. Because that stuff is incredibly complicated.

And it's dangerous.

This is the Yangtze River Delta, not the Kunlun Mountains or the Qilian Mountains.

If a problem arises, it will be a huge scapegoat, a scapegoat that could crush you to death.

He stood up, placed the two documents on the table, pressed them down with both hands, and glared fiercely at Gao Hai, his eyes wide open.

"Which powerful figure suggested that we be allowed to produce weapons and ammunition?"

Upon hearing this question, Gao Hai scratched his head and said uncertainly, "President Tan, I guess!"

"He is the chief architect, he knows these things best, his words carry a lot of weight, and only his suggestions will be adopted by the higher-ups."

"Actually, it's just producing weapons and ammunition, nothing special."

"You're so efficient and produce such high-quality goods, it would be strange if you didn't produce weapons and ammunition."

"Furthermore, do you dare say that the batch of drones your workshop is currently shipping out aren't weapons and equipment?"

After saying this, Gao Hai stepped forward, turned the briefcase around, and began rummaging through it. In just over ten seconds, he retrieved a document from the briefcase, which was placed in a transparent file folder.

Official documents with red headers.

He flicked the document with his right hand, turned around, and placed it in front of Lin Yi: "Take a look!"

Lin Yi took the document and found that it was the document authorizing the 80515 Research Institute to produce weapons and ammunition.

[Approval letter regarding the production of weapons and ammunition at the shipyard under the 80515 Research Institute.]

The document is short and can be read in two or three minutes.

The document is full of restrictions for security reasons. The rules and regulations are a bit troublesome, but as long as you follow the security procedures, you will not violate these restrictions.

After noticing that Lin Yi had finished reading the document, Gao Hai leaned over again, pointed at the document, and whispered, "Actually, giving you this document would be very beneficial for you."

"For example, with this document, you can load the drones you are loading onto the trucks with the explosives you produce yourself."

"A complete set of self-destructing drones will definitely sell for a higher price than a drone without explosives. Don't you think that makes sense?"

The response he received was not Lin Yi's words, but the rustling sound of documents being turned over and the clicking sound of the copier being put into it.

Each time the sound is heard, one document is copied.

Seeing that Lin Yi wasn't paying attention to him, Gao Hai smiled and asked again:

"By the way, who were those drones for?"

"America, I guess it will be used in Libya."

How much does one unit cost?

“My leather case company in Japan quoted a price of $43000 per unit. Because it’s an OEM model, the company takes a profit of $5000, and the remaining $38000 goes to me. This price originally included shipping, but the Americans said they would arrange their own plane to transport it, so I got some shipping costs for free.”

"What about the cost?"

"More than 5000 yuan!"

"That's going too far!"

"High technology, what's wrong with me earning more?"

"From now on, you can sell the version with the added medication. How many are you planning to sell it for? 5 or 6?"

"43! I'll just add a zero to the end!"

"Trickster!"

"Thank you for your compliment!" After taking the photos of the documents, Lin Yi smiled at Gao Hai, put the documents into his briefcase, carried the briefcase out of the office, and put the documents in the safe in his bedroom.

Back in his office, Lin Yi picked up the photocopied documents and spent a few minutes sorting through them, removing the confidential but crucial information.

He casually grabbed a folder from the side, stuffed the documents inside, shook it a bit, and then said to Gao Hai, "I'm going to the technical department. Do you want to come with me?"

"go with!"

Just as he reached the door of the technical department office, before he could even push it open, the frosted glass door was pulled open from the inside, and the person who came out bumped right into Lin Yi.

When they bumped into each other, Lin Yi noticed that the person who came out was Mao Xiaofei, who was holding a document in his hand and looked like he was in a hurry and his backside was on fire.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing that the person he had bumped into was Lin Yi, Mao Xiaofei visibly breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the documents in his hand:
"Just received this message from Mr. Salle."

"For some reason, the plane that America found had a problem while transiting in India, and it had to return to the airport right after takeoff."

"Then America coordinated with Saudi Arabia and asked Saudi planes to help them transport supplies."

"Everything is normal here!"

"However, Mr. Sall just called to say that the plane that is about to arrive is a military transport plane!"

“They’ve already reported it, so we can just give them America’s drone when the time comes.”

"I can't give that to you!"

At that moment, Lin Yi felt that the world was just a giant makeshift operation.

He really wanted to bring both groups together and ask them a good question: you two are both headed to Libya, and your initial enemy might be Gaddafi, but your later enemy will definitely be each other.

Under these circumstances, they helped the enemy transport military equipment.

What on earth is he thinking?
Shaking his head, Lin Yi accepted the documents handed to him by Mao Xiaofei.

The document was a color printout. Lin Yi easily spotted a photograph as he glanced at the text.

It was a photo of a dozen drones, neatly arranged in the sunlight.

He took the photos himself and gave them to Ji Shuangshuang, who then sent them to Ji Gangxiu. Ji Gangxiu then sent them to him, and finally he sent them to Eisente, showing Eisente the drone and the photos of Eisente coming to pick up the goods.

And this photograph thus came into the hands of Saudi Prince Sall in a very dramatic way, and then, through Sall, returned to his own hands.

This world really is a huge makeshift operation.

"Do as they ask!" After giving instructions to Mao Xiaofei, Lin Yi handed over the documents in his hand: "We can start producing weapons and ammunition now!"
