Selling small motorcycles in mid-air to kick off the Southern Heavenly Gate Project?

After everyone was seated, Qian Zhizhou handed over the document issued by the superiors and asked them to read it.

After reading it, everyone's faces lit up with bright smiles.

This is not merely a matter of higher-level leaders relaxing restrictions on Dong'an Machinery Factory.

They also saw a large sum of money constantly floating towards them.

With this document, cooperation with Persia could continue indefinitely.

After everyone had read it, Qian Zhizhou looked them over and, seeing the smiles on their faces, said directly, "This is an affirmation of our Dong'an Machinery Factory by our superiors, and it also shows them our future prospects."

"This is both a motivation and a pressure."

The Dong'an Machinery Factory became a "testing ground" for the military industry in Yan State, which had both advantages and disadvantages.

After lifting the restrictions on Dong'an Machinery Factory, Qian Zhizhou immediately reported the $20 million transaction to his superiors.

At first, some senior executives strongly opposed it, after all, this was foreign exchange that Dong'an Machinery Factory had worked hard to earn.

They had a plan for this money beforehand.

Now, the higher-ups have taken away 20 million US dollars directly.

This made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Qian Zhizhou glanced around, then said seriously, "If we don't give those twenty million US dollars to the military, do you think we can hold onto the remaining one hundred million US dollars?"

"When the Persian Empire deposited 20 million US dollars into our account, the higher-ups saw it and wanted to take it all for other purposes."

"Giving it to anyone is the same as giving it to them. Giving it to our superiors—the military—at least they can protect us."

Among the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory, there are several people whom Qian Zhizhou looks down upon. If he could replace them in the short term, he would have preferred to do so.

They only saw the immediate benefits without considering whether they could protect them.

If it weren't for the Yan State military blocking them, other departments would have already come knocking on their door demanding money.

After Qian Zhizhou's lecture, the group from Dong'an Machinery Factory finally understood the implications.

It turns out that even having 120 million US dollars doesn't guarantee security.

"Although we handed over 20 million US dollars this time, we exchanged it for 40 million Yan yuan in China. Although we suffered a slight loss, it created a stable environment for our Dong'an Machinery Factory, so handing over this money was well worth it."

After Qian Zhizhou finished speaking, all the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory present nodded in agreement.

There's an unexpected bonus: at least 40 million Flame Coins can be exchanged for this.

It's a loss, but better than nothing.

On the black market, the exchange rate between US dollars and Flame Coins is 1 to 10, and sometimes it can be 1 to 15.

But such a large-scale exchange is impossible.

So... those who know, know.

"Besides the development of the military industry, we also need other developments, since military orders can't always be available."

Qian Zhizhou's sharp eyes swept over the crowd.

I'd like to hear what insights the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory have to offer.

Military orders are somewhat like the saying, "If you don't make any business for three years, you can make enough to last you three years."

However, this does not meet the current development needs of Dong'an Machinery Factory.

Dong'an Machinery Factory now needs a large amount of capital for its own development.

Although the personnel and equipment are quite complete.

However, the workforce is large and the equipment is outdated.

Dong'an Machinery Factory wants to transform itself, but it cannot rely solely on intermittent military orders.

We need to find other solutions.

After Qian Zhizhou finished speaking, the senior executives of Dong'an Machinery Factory present began a heated discussion.

Zhang Yi'an, standing nearby, nudged Qian Huaijin and whispered, "Huaijin, you're quick-witted. What do you think is the best course of action for our Dong'an Machinery Factory?"

Zhang Yi'an had gained some understanding of Qian Huaijin's talent after spending so many days with him.

This is a genius even more genius than a genius.

They're so mature they don't seem like eighteen-year-old boys.

Whether in his conduct or in other aspects, he is impeccable.

"What? Engineer Sun, I..."

Qian Huaijin pointed to himself, signaling for him to speak.

After Qian Huaijin and Zhang Yi'an's conversation was heard, some of the higher-ups at Dong'an Machinery Factory looked over and said, "That's right, Huaijin, what do you think we should do?"

"Yes, yes, young lads, their thinking isn't as rigid as ours."

"Huaijin, tell us what you think, we'd like to take a look."

The entire Dong'an Machinery Factory abruptly stopped their discussion and instead started arguing with Qian Huaijin.

If they speak directly, their words may be rejected by others.

They can use Qian Huaijin's words as a reference, even if they are wrong, it can be said that they are young and do not understand.

At least you don't have to speak first and then get rejected. Where would you put your face then?

I also wanted to verify Qian Huaijin's genius persona.

Let's see if it's genuine or just a gimmick.

Qian Huaijin previously made a name for himself with his aerial suicide drone and modified cannon.

If someone is truly a genius and still wants to be a genius, some of the higher-ups at Dong'an Machinery Factory should consider another way out.

Qian Zhizhou's position is secure. If Qian Huaijin returns and takes over, then...

Some high-ranking officials don't want to stay in the same position for their entire lives.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Everyone needs to have dreams; otherwise, why stay stagnant?

That's just killing time!

Some high-ranking officials at Dong'an Machinery Factory said, "I want to verify the license plate!"

All eyes were on Qian Huaijin.

"Um, uncles, elders, and aunts, let me share my humble opinion. If it's inappropriate, please feel free to correct me. Thank you."

Qian Huaijin's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile flashing across his face. This was exactly what he wanted to do!

Qian Huaijin: "Everyone move aside, I'm about to start showing off!!!"

Who gave me this opportunity?

Then let's see how I do it.

"Our Dong'an Machinery Factory can convert military equipment to civilian use and produce some civilian products."

"We have an absolute advantage, especially in terms of engines."

After Qian Huaijin's reminder, the eyes of the Dong'an Machinery Factory executives at the scene gleamed, as if it were really true.

The $120 million offer was too tempting, and the responsibility of higher-level leaders to bear the profits and losses and to operate independently was too burdensome.

This directly caused the top management of Dong'an Machinery Factory to forget their "original profession".

Within Yan State, who can compare to Dong'an Machinery Factory in engine research and development?

Most of the various aircraft engines are manufactured by Dong'an Machinery Factory.

Its talent reserves, technology reserves, and equipment reserves are all far ahead of others.

While it can't compare to those abroad, it's certainly not the best, but it's better than the worst!

Furthermore, the development of civilian engines could also be used in aerial suicide drones.

It can be used on motorcycles, bread vans, and even military trucks.

Military enterprises have a significant advantage in developing civilian applications.

Dong'an Machinery Factory possesses a complete set of capabilities in precision casting, forging, machining, heat treatment, assembly, and testing of aero-engines, with reliability and precision far surpassing those of private enterprises.

Equipment and personnel: Top-notch precision equipment, aerospace-grade engineers and technicians, idle production capacity, and low cost of switching production.

Policy benefits: "Military-civilian integration and civilian support for the military" with comprehensive support in technological upgrading, taxation, and approval.

Qian Huaijin even came up with a slogan: "Aerospace-grade quality control, durable and reliable."
