Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 566: Starting to Work Overtime in Jail! (Third Update!)
Look at the brightly lit positions on the other side, and then look at our own.

Izcarra was furious. He thought these people were plotting something else, but he never expected that they would still be in the mood to sing and dance.

It's past midnight.

Don't they get any rest?

After thinking for a while, Izkala couldn't come up with an answer. He was furious because he had no answer. After thinking for a moment, he picked up his AK, loaded the bullets, and fired a burst at the opposite position.

Gunshots rang out, and the singing and dancing on the other side stopped.

The Houthi positions stopped firing because they couldn't break through; it would just be a waste of bullets.

The people on the other side, after being on guard for about 10 minutes and finding that no further shooting had occurred, continued singing and dancing.

Izkara was furious at their blatant disregard for people, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The two sides are not evenly matched. The current positional warfare is only taking place because the other side is unwilling to launch an attack, while the other side needs to show a stance.

If the Houthis were allowed to launch an offensive to attack the enemy's positions, it would be tantamount to suicide.

Irritability!

He reached up and rubbed his hair, then decided to just ignore it and wait it out.
…………

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people of Guangling do not have the habit of going out to visit friends and neighbors. They stay at home, eat glutinous rice balls in the morning, rice at noon, and dry rice in the afternoon.

That evening, when the news aired, there was an additional segment about Saudi Arabia.

On camera, Saudi Defense Minister Moussa stands on the platform, holding a large photograph and shaking it vigorously.

The photo shows dozens of tanks parked in the desert.

Once the reporters in the audience had clearly seen the details in the photo, Musa loudly proclaimed:

"This is America!"

"We used tanks to fight the Houthis, but they actually locked our tanks."

"They won't let us use tanks!"

"The Houthis are terrorists, and America does not support our fight against terrorists. Does America support the Houthis?"

"This time the tanks were locked up, which reminded me of the 12 M60 tanks we had some time ago."

"They were wiped out in just a few minutes!"

"We were puzzled at the time as to why this happened. Now it seems that our tanks may have been suddenly locked in mid-air and lost their ability to resist."

"Then, they were completely wiped out by the Houthi rebels!"

"As for why the Houthis were able to wipe out the entire Houthis and why they were able to seize this opportunity, perhaps we should ask America!"

Finally, Musa slammed the photo in his hand onto the table with a loud clang.

He was angry.

He was furious!
Watching the news on TV, Lin Yi's face twitched; he didn't know what to say.

If his memory serves him correctly, Saudi Arabia's M60 series main battle tanks are primarily the M60A3 version.

This version is a stripped-down version of the M60 tank used by America.

Even after modifications, the only things on this tank that could be considered information technology were a ballistic computer and a laser rangefinder.

None of these things have the ability to transmit data remotely.

Not to mention being remotely locked out!

This is purely because Saudi Arabia is too incompetent, and then, because their new tanks were locked out, they decided to blame America.

Oh shit……

Thankfully, my new tank has a locking function. If they dare to jump, I'll lock their engines!

After muttering to himself, Lin Yi turned around and went back to the bedroom to adjust the tank production process.

According to the previous plan, delivery was scheduled for June, and the parts could be produced step by step.

However, to deliver goods ahead of schedule, the only option is for factories across the supply chain to start production and then learn the techniques under the guidance of relevant personnel.

By the time the process was optimized, it was already late at night.

After estimating the time in Saudi Arabia, Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a message to Sall:
I've adjusted the process. Previously, we learned first and then produced; now we produce first and learn during the production process.

The first batch consists of three tanks, priced at 20 million each, totaling 60 million, according to your quote. Your brother has already paid the full amount for the previous quote. Now, you only need to pay the remaining 30 million USD for these three tanks!

You should be able to get the tanks around early March!

We don't handle shipping, but we can coordinate. You decide whether to ship by air or sea.

The other side replied quickly, with only a question mark.

【? 】

The question mark, though brief, was enough to express Sall's shock.

About 60 seconds after the question mark appeared, a new message was sent.

OK, I'm transferring the money to you! Tell your people to check their accounts!

Upon seeing this message, Lin Yi handed his phone to Ji Shuangshuang. After reading the message, Ji Shuangshuang opened the wardrobe, took out her laptop from the safe, and retrieved the key.

Turn on the device, insert the key, and log in to the bank's interface.

Shortly after, a notification popped up on the webpage.

[Your overseas corporate account has received a transfer of $3000 million, with the note: Tank final payment!]

Select "Account Inquiry," and the page will redirect accordingly.

The page refreshed, and the money has arrived in the overseas corporate account. Now the company needs to provide a contract and relevant explanations before the money can be transferred from the overseas corporate account to the company account.

After confirming, Ji Shuangshuang turned to Lin Yi and said, "The money has arrived! Very quickly!"

"The money's already been paid, so I guess I'll just have to work overtime!" Lin Yi let out a long sigh.

I turned around, turned off my phone, and went to bed.

I said I'd go out on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so I'll go out on the third day. Today is only the first day, so I'll go back to sleep!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is customary for people in Guangling to visit relatives.

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Guoping made a plan: first, he would go to the homes of several of Fang Hui's brothers, and then he would go to the homes of several of his own brothers.

Within a day, Lin Yi must be taken to visit all these people's homes so that they know that such a person exists.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as he opened the door, he found two cars blocking the entrance.

Upon closer inspection, one was an official vehicle from Guangling, and the other was an official vehicle from Jinling.

The people inside the car were looking at each other through the glass. When they heard the door open, they all turned their heads to look at them.

Ji Guoping felt a chill run down his spine.

He recognized the people in the car and knew they were looking for Lin Yi, so he didn't dare to be negligent and quickly made way for the entrance.

"Um... Lin Yi is in the room, I'll go call him for you!"

After leaving those words behind, Ji Guoping hurriedly ran back into the house and shouted:
"Lin Yi, come out quickly! Secretary Yang Wei and Secretary Jiang Daqiao are here!"

Lin Yi was brushing her teeth and styling her hair in the bathroom when she heard this. She picked up her toothbrush cup, rolled her eyes, and walked out of the bathroom.

Their eyes met those of two people coming from the opposite direction.

He smiled, his mouth full of foam, and then pointed to the side, indicating that the two of them should sit down first.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi, having washed up and tidied his appearance, appeared before the two.

Instead of immediately asking questions, he focused his gaze on the briefcases in front of the two men. If he wasn't mistaken, the contents were the results of their discussion on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

His gaze lingered on that for a moment before quickly falling on Yang Wei and Jiang Daqiao on the opposite side.

Seeing the two people who were somewhat at odds, Lin Yi smiled:
"Um, who wants to go first?"

"I'll come first!"

"I!"

Jiang Daqiao and Yang Wei spoke in unison, their voices rang out, and they exchanged glances. In the end, Jiang Daqiao used his power to intimidate Yang Wei:
"Jinling is the provincial capital, you have to give way to me now! Otherwise..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but it was clearly a threat. Faced with this threat, Yang Wei scoffed disdainfully: "Secretary Daqiao, development doesn't fall from the sky; it's earned, not given away!"

"You can only show off in front of us. Would you dare to be this loud in front of Qin Chao?"

"Dare!" Jiang Daqiao shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Yang Wei across from him slowly raised his hand, and the screen on his phone was a recorder.

Under Jiang Daqiao's watchful gaze, Yang Wei calmly turned off the phone's recorder and then clicked play.

The sound of the two people talking came through again in the living room.

The word "dare," in particular, echoed continuously in the room.

After showing the recording, Yang Wei quickly put his phone away. "If you don't allow it, this recording will appear in 11 other cities in Jiangsu Province!"

"Ha!" Jiang Daqiao let out another cold snort, looking up at Lin Yi: "Let that scoundrel go first!"

"We're all brothers! It doesn't matter who arrived first or last!"

Having won the competition, Yang Wei chuckled, raised the briefcase in front of him, and waved it at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi gave Jiang Daqiao an apologetic smile, then pointed to the study, gesturing for Yang Wei to come in with him.

He entered the study and closed the door.

Yang Wei eagerly opened his briefcase, took out the documents, and personally handed them to Lin Yi:

"After we got back, we adjusted the previous plan overnight."

"The approach adopted was to make overall adjustments and then divide the area into zones."

"We will gradually relocate the factories that were previously scattered throughout the city to the newly designated industrial zone along the Yangtze River."

"At the same time, we will build a logistics industrial park there."

"Then, according to what you said that day, divide the machinery manufacturing, photovoltaic equipment manufacturing, and emerging electronic industry manufacturing into regions."

"Let the main factories stay there, and then provide supporting services to the main factories to improve manufacturing capabilities."

“We have reserved 500 acres of land for you in this area. You can build a factory or a technology center there.”

"Similarly, we have also coordinated with relevant factories. Many factories have heard that you are the other party in the technical cooperation and are willing to make further contact."

"Only a few factories are unwilling to get involved."

"This is our overall situation. Please take a look at the details!"

The core of Guangling consists of two districts, which are separated by a river.

On the left is Guangling, and on the right is Jiangdu.

This river, along with the Yangtze River, brought dozens of ditches and rivers of varying sizes to Guangling, crisscrossing the city.

Therefore, the planning of the industrial zone in Guangling is very complicated.

If we put everything in Guangling, Jiangdu won't agree.

If we put everything in Jiangdu, Guangling won't agree.

Dividing it equally is not easy, because the Yangtze River is only a dozen kilometers south of Guangling, while Jiangdu requires traveling a distance through several rivers that flow through the city to reach the Yangtze River.

Don't underestimate this distance.

The specific time required for this short transfer can range from one or two hours to three or four hours.

These few hours are enough time for many factories to make decisions.

The adjustment made by Yang Wei and others was to move the relatively lighter electronics industry to Jiangdu.

They placed the traditional equipment manufacturing and photovoltaic industries in Guangling, which is located on the banks of the Yangtze River.

After all, these two things require frequent transportation of materials and products, so transportation efficiency is of paramount importance.

Lin Yi expressed his approval of their plan.

From this perspective, it's clear they thought it through carefully, rather than making a decision on a whim.

After reviewing the overall plan, he flipped through the pages.

Below is a list of the costs that various companies are willing to pay for technological cooperation.

The first thing that catches the eye is Guangling Electric Equipment Co., Ltd.

Its main area of ​​responsibility is the manufacturing of power equipment, and its main partners are power grid groups.

The price they were willing to pay was 3% of the shares.

The main research and development focus is on various high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage equipment.

Some of these things are needed for the shipyard's upcoming new ship, and they were just worried about not having enough people to manufacture them, but now people have come to their door.

3% of the shares it is.

The other party has a cooperative relationship with the power grid and has a lot of business; even 3% is profitable.

As for the second one, it is Lin Yi's old friend, Guangling Forging and Pressing Machine Tool Co., Ltd.

This company mainly produces various mechanical presses, hydraulic presses, and CNC machine tools.

Some of the equipment used by Xiaomi Heavy Industry was customized from this company.

The terms offered by the other party were also more favorable than those of the power equipment company, by a full 9%. Of course, the business of the machine tool factory cannot compare with that of the power equipment company.

Further down is Guangling Precision CNC Machine Tools.

This company mainly deals in CNC turret punch presses and laser cutting machines.

Moreover, the other party's equipment has already reached a certain scale and has generated a certain output value.

Their terms, somewhere between those for power equipment and forging presses, were to offer a 5% stake.

Lin Yi had met the remaining companies to varying degrees.

After reading their conditions, Lin Yi nodded slightly.
"The terms were so-so, but considering I would need some things in the future, I agreed to their terms."

"However, I also have my conditions!"

"We provide technical guidance and also offer technical patent services. We will acquire the relevant technical patents."

"Besides that, I hope they genuinely want guidance, and not just cause trouble!"

“Secretary Yang, you can contact them now. If they agree, I will immediately arrange for someone to go and coordinate with them once we officially start work.”

"If you don't agree, then forget it, I'll find someone else to cooperate with!"

Yang Wei was naturally able to understand the hidden meaning in Lin Yi's words.

Wherever there are people, there is a power struggle, let alone a company that allows other companies to interfere.

Paying lip service while secretly opposing it is a minor offense.

If someone has malicious intentions, they could cause two accidents and kill the person!
