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

Xue Rui stared intently at Qian Huaijin, who was standing to the side.

But a hint of relief flashed across his face.

There are successors!

Qian Huaijin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and felt immense pressure:

"Uh? Grandpa Xue, I'm a little nervous that you're staring at me like that."

"You're incredibly audacious, actually encouraging your father to come and ask me for 'power'."

"Tell me, even if our Industrial Development Bureau relaxes the restrictions on your Dong'an Machinery Factory, how are you going to find markets for your weapons and equipment?"

"You should know that when a country wants to develop, everything has to give way to the economy. Military spending will be drastically reduced, and orders will be placed based on merit, unlike before when there was a planned allocation."

Xue Rui wanted to see what Qian Huaijin was thinking.

If someone truly possesses genuine talent, Xue Rui wouldn't mind investing more resources in them.

Then Qian Huaijin explained his thoughts in detail.

Upon hearing this, Xue Rui smiled with satisfaction.

Considering Qian Huaijin was only eighteen years old, it's astonishing that he would have such a way of thinking.

This is a naturally gifted individual!

This isn't even before going to university. If one's horizons broaden further, then...

Xue Rui never dared to dream of such a limitless future!

Next, Xue Rui continued to test Qian Huaijin.

"How do you get orders from overseas?"

"You can't just imagine it out of thin air, can you?"

Xue Rui generally agreed to relax the restrictions on Dong'an Machinery Factory. He wanted Dong'an Machinery Factory to serve as the first "experimental field" in Yan's military industry, just like Pengcheng.

After all, the country needs to develop, and military spending accounts for the largest portion of national expenditure.

Xue Rui believes that the country will further reduce military spending.

The consequence of cutting military spending is that a number of military industrial enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, Yan's defense industry cannot exist without military industrial enterprises.

Xue Rui did not have many resources at his disposal.

If Qian Zhizhou came over asking for money, orders, or complaints, Xue Rui would not hesitate to immediately reprimand him.

However, as long as Qian Zhizhou requests the higher authorities to loosen the restrictions on Dong'an Machinery Factory and allow them to develop independently.

That's something worth thinking about.

Even if this path doesn't work, we can still gain experience.

But if it works, it will serve as a template, providing a bright path for countless domestic military enterprises.

Then Xue Rui continued, "If we delegate authority, how will you find arms customers?"

"To be honest, China's weapons and equipment are not particularly outstanding in the international arms market."

Xue Rui wanted to hear Qian Huaijin's sales plan for the upcoming Dong'an Machinery Factory.

Previously, most of the orders for domestic military industrial enterprises were procured by the state. Even if there were external orders, they came from other countries and were then distributed through various levels of government.

Find orders yourself?

That was truly unprecedented.

But times have changed. The Yan Kingdom's military has drastically reduced its military spending, and domestic orders have decreased by 80%.

Upon hearing this, Qian Huaijin smiled and said, "Grandpa Xue, you've agreed to loosen the restrictions on our Dong'an Machinery Factory?"

"Tell me how to do it first. At least you need a plan. Without a plan, even if I agree, the higher-ups won't."

Xue Rui wanted to hear Qian Huaijin's plan.

Although Qian Huaijin is only eighteen years old, the thinking he has shown has already surpassed that of an eighteen-year-old.

If properly trained, Yan's military industry will produce another top talent.

Moreover, they are the most in-demand management talents in the military industry.

As for Qian Zhizhou standing to the side?

Forget it! It's fine as it is!

He was quite conventional; becoming the factory director of Dong'an Machinery Factory was already the limit for him.

Qian Zhizhou: Shall I leave?

Seeing that Xue Rui had "relented," Qian Huaijin smiled and asked, "Grandpa Xue, where is the world's largest powder keg? Where are the richest oil resources?"

Qian Huaijin got up and went to the world map on the wall of Xue Rui's office, pointing to the camel area.

Upon seeing this, Xue Rui burst into laughter.

I felt very gratified.

Qian Huaijin's strategic vision is truly impeccable.

To have such insight at the age of 18 is unprecedented in the history of Yan Kingdom.

"The conflict between Iraq and Persia is already very obvious. It's like a huge powder keg. Just give it a spark and it will ignite one hundred percent."

"Once the war begins, the weapons and equipment reserves of the two countries will be depleted rapidly, and the shortage of weapons and equipment will be enormous."

"Iraq was able to hold on in the early stages, as countries like the United States were willing to sell it weapons and equipment, and neighboring countries were also willing to provide financial assistance. But it's hard to say about Persia. Its government is newly established, and it needs a lot of weapons and equipment to resist Iraq's invasion."

"I suspect that Persia was buying weapons and equipment all over the world."

"Most countries are currently unwilling to sell weapons and equipment to Persia."

Theocratic states are a cause for alarm in most countries around the world.

After Qian Huaijin finished speaking, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, Xue Rui burst into laughter: "You're a sharp-witted kid, much better than your father. You've surpassed your father; the Qian family has produced another prodigy."

Not long ago, Persia sent representatives to Yan, with a very clear purpose: to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from Yan.

Unfortunately, most countries in the world are unwilling to sell weapons to Persia.

Since Yan is considered the most fair country in the world, the Persian leadership wanted to come and try it out.

If successful, at least there will be a channel for procuring weapons and equipment.

When Iraq actually "beats" them up, they don't even have the most basic weapons and equipment.

The Persian Revolutionary Guard, which had only been established for a year, needed a large amount of weapons and equipment.

The high command did not have much faith in the Persian army left behind.

In response to the request from the Persian representative, the top leaders of the Yan Kingdom held several meetings.

No one could make up their minds.

Even two superpowers are supporting the same country at the same time.

Its international impact is enormous.

However, without selling weapons and equipment, the development of Yan's military industry will stagnate, or even regress.

With no extra military spending, the development of weapons and equipment has been put on hold.

"Grandpa Xue, you should have the address of the Persian representative here, right?"

"Or it could be a way to contact them."

Upon seeing this, Qian Huaijin immediately employed the tactic of "the snake follows the stick," essentially "entangled" with the snake.

"You little rascal, you're so clever and mischievous, nothing like your old man, who's so dull."

"With you here, the development of Dong'an Machinery Factory will not be bad."

Xue Rui couldn't help but admire Qian Huaijin's intelligence.

Indeed, the thinking of intelligent people is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Xue Rui looked at Qian Zhizhou and became more and more disgusted with him.

If Qian Huaijin weren't so young, Xue Rui would have considered having him take over Qian Zhizhou's position.

Qian Zhizhou: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Then Xue Rui continued, "I will arrange for you and your son to go to the capital later. Huaijin, you will be in charge of the negotiations, and Zhizhou, you will be the advisor behind the scenes. As for whether you can reach an agreement, that will depend on your abilities."

Xue Rui wanted to see Qian Huaijin's abilities.

If he has the ability, Xue Rui wouldn't mind giving him more responsibilities.

"As for the permissions you want, I can grant them, but we'll discuss how much in a meeting."

……

After receiving a promise from Xue Rui, Qian Huaijin and Qian Zhizhou left the Harbin Aviation Administration Industry Bureau.

I'll go home and make some preparations before heading to the capital.
