The sunlight shines into the room through the window screen.Li Jiankun's eyelids trembled a few times, then he raised one hand to block the orange-red light and slowly opened his eyes.As soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately thought of the question that had kept him awake for most of the night:Will it be counterproductive?Zhong Ling’s words “I hate you” still echo in my ears.The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.Li Jiankun jumped off the bed, washed up quickly, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.Come to the corridor.However, the door of the guest room where Zhong Ling stayed last night was wide open, and a half-stick of a wooden broom handle was sticking out from inside, shaking constantly.Li Jiankun thought there was something wrong with his eyes and looked at his wrist again.Yes, just after seven."Auntie, where is the person in this room?" He paced over."Oh, that pretty girl you're talking about, she left a while ago."Li Jiankun sighed secretly and wanted to have a serious talk with Zhong Ling.Now it seems that she doesn't want to see him again.Leave without saying goodbye...He didn't know how long he had been standing in the corridor in a daze, until Jin Biao walked out of the room, found him, came over and shook him a few times before waking him up."gone?"Jin Biao looked at the guest room that his aunt was ventilating after cleaning it.Li Jiankun nodded, not in the mood to talk, and turned to walk towards his guest room."Don't think too much. Miss Zhong is fine. She will calm down in a few days."Li Jiankun glanced over and said, "You know nothing. I'm afraid this won't get better.""Fuck! What on earth did you do to that girl?"Li Jiankun: "..."What the two of them didn't know was that behind the door opposite Li Jiankun's guest room, there was a big eye, staring through the peephole all morning.In fact, I watched it for half the night last night.Now I'm chuckling secretly.…………Tiexi District.Not far from the city center, transportation is convenient.The black Volga was driving slowly on the wide road. On both sides were densely packed factory areas, all of which were quite old and exuded a sense of mottled and heavy history.Li Jiankun looked around with great interest.Chen Yajun drove the car erratically, as if it was out of control.There are very few cars on the road, which forms a sharp contrast with so many factories.Tiexi District has experienced more than 30 years of development in the planned economy era and was once extremely glorious. However, under the impact of the tide of opening up, its drawbacks have become clearly apparent.What Li Jiankun was thinking at this moment was:I don’t know what the situation is like at the 103 Precision Forging Plant.Regarding the purpose of his trip.The worse the situation, the better."Here, here, here!"Jin Biao pointed out the window.squeak--I don't know where they got this Volga.The surface looks quite new, but in fact it is full of antiques.Accompanied by a sharp brake sound, Chen Yajun turned the steering wheel to the right and approached a closed rusty iron door.An old man in white clothes and holding a palm-leaf fan walked out of the gate booth next to him."Which aspect?"“A joint venture in the Special Zone.”Like some kind of connection code..."Oh?"The old man was surprised. He took the letter of introduction that Li Jiankun handed over through the car window and looked at the belly from a distance.Yes, a letter of introduction.Especially when you come to this kind of old unit, people don’t recognize people, they only recognize this thing.There is no problem with the letter, but I have a few questions.Li Jiankun couldn't take it lightly.Nowadays, most of the old men who guard the gates of government agencies are veterans who have worked in the company for their entire lives. They feel that they can still do something, and do not want to stay at home and receive a pension for nothing. They love the company like their home...No bragging, no blackmail."Why do you, a special zone enterprise, come all the way to our factory?""Let's talk about business.""you?"Seeing the old man trying to hold back a laugh, Li Jiankun asked, "Is it not possible?""I'm sorry, young man. I'm afraid you've come all this way in vain. Our factory cannot do business with you.""What?"The old man raised the palm-leaf fan above his head.Li Jiankun subconsciously raised his head and saw a rusty arched door head above the rusty iron gate, with a few big red characters with badly peeling paint welded on it: "103 Precision Forging Factory".The old man said proudly: "Don't look at this door as it's a little old, it's still a golden sign--""It's clearly red." Chen Yajun leaned over from the cab.The old man glared at him, not wanting to bother with him, and continued to talk while looking at Li Jiankun:"You outsiders are not familiar with it, so you can go and ask about it. What does it mean to be produced by Factory 103?"As the old man spoke, he raised his thumb and performed an action for each sentence:"In 1955, my country's first 10,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship was launched at the Dalian Shipyard, and a considerable number of its precision parts were made by our factory."In 1955 and 1960, my country's first new jet fighter was born in Shenyang, and our factory was the main supplier of parts."In 1958, we built large warships. Our factory..."Li Jiankun and others were stunned after hearing what they heard.It must be said, that's really awesome.Although Director Wu is arrogant, he never deceives me."What kind of companies are cooperating with our factory?"The old man suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Many names are hard to mention.“You can think about it for yourself.“All that aside, there are many aspects involving secrecy."So you, a joint venture company, want to do business with us, it's impossible."Li Jiankun wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but the old man was blocking the door, so he handed him a cigarette:"Sir, you don't know."Our company may be different from what you imagine. We have just undertaken two national projects."The old man was suspicious: "What project?"Chen Yajun leaned over again and said, "Old man, how could I tell you that? Open the door quickly."The old man was furious and swung his palm-leaf fan at me like it was a knife.Li Jiankun quickly pushed Chen Yajun's head back and told him to shut up, then said to the old man:"Project 863.""Hey! Your company has taken on two projects under the 863 Plan?"The old man thought for two seconds and said, "Okay, you are qualified to go in. Go straight to the right after entering the door. See that three-story building? Park your car there. You can talk to the factory leader about whether it is okay or not."boom--After the big iron door opens.Chen Yajun stepped on the accelerator and drove the car in:"It's really something I can pretend. I almost believed it. Is that it?"He raised one hand and pointed left and right through the front windshield.Li Jiankun said angrily: "Shut up and don't ruin my business."The environment inside the factory is indeed very poor, with mostly old Soviet-style buildings, bumpy cement roads, and many places with rammed earth roads.It's quiet in my ears.There were few people outside the building.It's like it's stopped.However, this does not mean that they have never been glorious.The glorious history that the old man talked about.Most people don’t dare to brag about it these days.On the other hand, many parts of my country's first 10,000-ton ocean-going cargo ship and first new jet fighter were produced in a factory with such simple conditions.It can't help but make people feel emotional and respectful.The three-story building that the gatekeeper mentioned is the factory's administrative building, and it has all the necessary departments.However, I didn't see any employee doing any real work.Those who drink tea drink tea, and those who read newspapers read newspapers.On the way to meet the leader, Jin Biao was led by a worker, and whispered: "It's obvious that their factory has nothing to do."Ran Zi had a strange expression on her face: "The employees are not in a hurry either.""What's the hurry?"Chen Yajun said, "Although the factory is run-down, it is not small in scale. Large enterprises like this have special funds for support and subsidies. Not only will their wages not be reduced by a cent, but they may even receive bonuses as well."Ran Zi smiled bitterly and shook her head, but said nothing more."That was before."Li Jiankun turned his head and glanced at them, signaling with his eyes that they should stop talking.Met a factory director.Knowing that he could not get to the point by talking to him, Li Jiankun used his art of speaking to get the former to take them to meet the "old factory director" again.This was Deng Yunyou, who Chen Yajun and Jin Biao had inquired about and whose word was law in Factory 103.This person doesn't look like a Northeasterner.He is thin, with a long face and a thin layer of gray hair on his head and face.When not speaking, the lips are always pursed.Smiling and unsmiling.Judging from his facial features, he has a stubborn and strong character.After listening to Li Jiankun's intention, Deng Yunyou pondered:"The 863 Plan has also spread in Tiexi District.“Even so, according to what you said, your company is undertaking two projects: large-scale integrated circuit design and materials."Equipment? If you want to do that, we have no obligation to cooperate."It's really hard to deal with...Li Jiankun took out a cigarette and wanted to offer it to him, but Deng Yunyou stopped him and said, "I've quit."Li Jiankun didn't smoke either. He put the cigarette box back into his trouser pocket and sat back on the wooden sofa by the wall. He looked at Deng Yunyou who was sitting behind the five-drawer table by the window and said:"Director Deng, you always understand the principle that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.""You don't need to tell me this. I don't know you well enough to judge whether it's true or not."Deng Yunyou interrupted him and said, "If you also undertake the equipment projects in the 863 plan, I will have no objection. We will actively cooperate with such a national key project."But given the current situation, we can't help, but there are some rules that can't be broken."Li Jiankun: "What rules?""Our factory has always been undertaking military manufacturing tasks, such as key projects such as the 863 Program.“The companies we cooperate with are all in this field."For more than 30 years, there have been no exceptions."Li Jiankun frowned slightly. Certain honors had caused these people to develop a morbid pride.Deng Yun's friend is old and sophisticated:“You might think we’re arrogant.“But it’s not what you think.“Our factory is always ready to accept important tasks assigned by the state."We can't lose the big picture by doing business with you."Li Jiankun said, without showing any emotion: "Excuse me, how long has it been since your factory received such an important task?"boom!Deng Yunyou placed the large teacup he had just picked up on the five-drawer table with severely peeling red paint:"Even if we don't receive a mission for ten years, our purpose will not change!"Li Jiankun suddenly felt mixed emotions, stared at Chen Yunyou and said:"Old factory director, you must know that the military-to-civilian conversion started in 1979. It has always been a key plan, right? Why don't you follow suit?""We haven't been notified to make any changes. You don't understand our factory at all, that's why you say such things. No matter how we change, planes, cannons, warships... they are the foundation of a country and we can never lose them!"After Deng Yunyou finished speaking, he no longer had any interest in talking and signaled the factory director who had brought Li Jiankun and the others over to see them off.No one knew whether Li Jiankun was angry or not, as he did not show it.The two generals Heng and Ha, the Fugui brothers, and even Ran Zi were all filled with anger.If Li Jiankun hadn't told them not to talk too much, someone like Chen Yajun would have started scolding long ago.After walking out of the administrative building, Ran Zi looked at Li Jiankun, somewhat puzzled: "Boss, why don't you talk to him about money? I think this factory is quite short of money.""For a factory like this, money doesn't mean much to them."Li Jiankun explained: “There are special funds from above to support and subsidize them, and the profits they create must also be handed over."Besides, they probably haven't handled any money before, so they have no idea."Ran Zi suddenly realized: "So, just leave like this?""Let's withdraw first."Li Jiankun sighed and looked at the two generals, "We asked them to find out the situation, but they only got a little bit of information. We don't know much about Factory 103 and Deng Yunyou."Go back and do your homework first."
