Chapter 35: The road is so wild?
After hearing Mr. Lin's praise, Lin Chenran couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
But he still said humbly: "Grandpa, you have given me the praise. There is really nothing worthy of praise!"
"Hahahahaha..." When Mr. Lin saw this, he laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration for Lin Chenran: "Chenran, you are the pride of our Lin family!"
Lin Chenran waved his hand and said calmly: "Grandpa, you'd better tell my brother!"
"You brat!!!"
Lin Chenran's brother Lin Xuan was sent to the army for training by Mr. Lin.
After entering the army, with his outstanding performance and "leader's appreciation", he is now the leader of a special operations group, with a promising future.
After his brother entered the army, Lin Chenran was not sent to the army after graduating from college.
As one of the few highly knowledgeable talents in the Lin family.
Mr. Lin asked Lin Chenran to choose his own path.
Although Lin Chenran did not join the army, he also entered an industry related to the army - military industry! ! !
When Mr. Lin learned that Lin Chenran was assigned to be the director of the 077 Machinery Military Factory, he did not agree with this decision.
In his opinion, placing Lin Chenran in such a high position at the beginning might affect his future career development.
Mr. Lin hopes that Lin Chenran can start as an ordinary technician and gradually accumulate experience and abilities.
However, fate is always full of variables.
Lin Chenran was "accidentally" spotted by the officials of the Yan Kingdom and became one of the first batch of leaders of the third-line military factory.
The reason may only be known to the top officials of Yan Kingdom.
However, Lin Chenran also used his own strength to prove everything to everyone. He did not "rely on" the relationship to get the position of director of the 077 Machinery Arsenal.
Today's 077 Machinery Military Factory is thriving under his leadership.
In particular, the launch of the Type 59 civilian engineering vehicle and its subsequent products has made the 077 Machinery Military Factory a duck to water in the engineering vehicle market and is invincible.
What worries Mr. Lin the most is the design and development plan of the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal.
Back then, three third-tier military factories entered the finals of the Yanguo military's second-generation main battle tank bidding conference.
When Mr. Lin saw the 077 Machinery Arsenal, he was surprised.
Because entering the "finals" together with the 077 Machinery Arsenal, there are also the 617 Machinery Arsenal where Mr. Zhu is in charge, and the 625 Machinery Arsenal, a major tank manufacturer.
If it were not for the engine problem, the design and development plan of the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal is likely to be adopted by the Yan Kingdom's military and become the second-generation main battle tank of the Yan Kingdom.
In terms of armor defense, the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal, the Modified Type 59 super tank, can compete with the third-generation main battle tanks of Yingjiang and Mao Xiong.
Therefore, Mr. Lin couldn't help but sigh: "The second-generation main battle tank from your 077 Machinery Arsenal is such a pity!"
"Grandpa, there is nothing to regret."
"Before the 'heart' of the tank is solved, the Yanguo military's second-generation main battle tank solution using the 617 Machinery Arsenal is the safest choice."
Lin Chenran answered calmly.
When Mr. Lin saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chenran continued: "And our 077 Machinery Military Factory is not looking for orders from the military."
After hearing this, Mr. Lin had a look of astonishment on his face, and then he laughed and scolded: "You kid, you are talking arrogantly, and you still look down on the military's order for second-generation main battle tanks."
Lin Chenran did not back down from his grandfather's rebuke. Instead, he retorted confidently: "Grandpa, you should be aware of the current situation of our military."
"The military is short of funds and extremely poor. Every penny must be calculated carefully. It is tempting to break a dollar in half and spend it."
"If it weren't for the Type 59 magically modified civilian engineering vehicle developed by our 077 Machinery Military Factory, which was a great success, and the military took a ride on us."
"Otherwise, the military may not even have the confidence to hold this second-generation main battle tank bidding meeting." What Lin Chenran said is true. Today, the Yanguo military is indeed facing huge pressure on military expenditures.
Prioritizing economic construction has resulted in significant cuts in military spending.
Although it has implemented a major disarmament policy and significantly reduced various unnecessary military expenditures, it is still difficult to alleviate the dilemma of tight funding.
The Yan Kingdom's military is now stretched to the limit.
Lin Chenran's words undoubtedly hit the military's sore spot, making Mr. Lin puff his beard and stare, secretly lamenting that this boy was ruthless in his words.
"Are you kidding?"
Mr. Lin doesn't mind giving Lin Chenran a "full martial arts" meal to let him know who is the grandfather and who is the grandson.
"No, no, no! Grandpa, I'm just stating the facts."
When Lin Chenran saw this, he quickly gave in!
The green hills remain, so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood!
After the fun was over, the two started talking again.
"Military expenditures will not increase significantly in the next few years."
"The country's money does not come from strong winds. In the next few years, the military will have to tighten its belt to live."
Mr. Lin said calmly.
He knew that these efforts were necessary to achieve rapid economic development.
Currently, there is only one path before Yanguo's military: endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden!
"Grandpa, you are right. Although the military's military expenditure cannot be significantly increased, we have another way - to allow many military industrial companies to participate in the international arms sales market!"
Lin Chenran put forward his point of view with firm and confident eyes.
"Although there is a certain gap between our country's weapons and equipment compared with other major countries, they have the advantages of high practicality, easy operation, quick start, and more importantly, they are affordable to the people. In this way, for those countries with limited funds, Undoubtedly an attractive option.”
Mr. Lin nodded in agreement, indicating that he agreed with his grandson's idea.
Although the method is good, it faces huge challenges in actual implementation.
Many Yanguo military-industrial enterprises lacked effective sales channels.
"It's not easy to find the right buyer."
Mr. Lin sighed helplessly, with a hint of powerlessness in his tone.
"Our 077 Machinery Military Factory has relevant channels."
"but……"
Lin Chenran answered confidently.
"You want 077 Machinery Military Factory to be a middleman?"
Mr. Lin was sitting on the sofa, completely surprised.
"Yes, I plan to let the 077 Machinery Military Factory act as a middleman to open up the international arms sales market."
Mr. Lin's eyes widened, obviously shocked by Lin Chenran's thoughts.
Mr. Lin: Damn, are your ways so wild?
Although Lin Chenran had previously said that the second-generation main battle tanks from the 077 Machinery Arsenal would be traded on the international arms sales market.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chenran had such a big appetite that he directly asked the 077 Machinery Military Factory to act as an intermediary to help a number of Yanguo military enterprises to open up the international arms sales market.
