Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

At about 1938 pm on April 4, 15, the Office of Economic Development, Dragon Boat Festival office.

"Hey, director, I am the director of 51 Arsenal. My name is Feng Baobao. Hehe!"

Standing in front of the Dragon Boat Festival was a middle-aged man who was stout and slightly bloated.

He wears a pair of round glasses with metal rims. The wide frames are made of golden metal, simple and elegant.

Although the eyes behind the glasses were slightly swollen, they shone with wisdom.

His smile is sincere and natural, like the warm sunshine of spring, which seems to dispel the gloom in others' hearts no matter where they are.

It's just that when he smiles, the flesh on his face will squeeze into a circle and form a big "steamed bun", which looks a bit funny.

He was wearing a dark suit that hugged his fat body tightly.

There is a striped tie around his neck and a white shirt underneath, which forms a sharp contrast.The feeling is both professional and friendly.

Overall, Feng Baobao is like a shining star. Although it is not the most dazzling, it gives people an extremely warm and friendly feeling.

Duanwu looked at the other party and asked, "Then why did you come to see me?"

Feng Baobao said quickly: "That's right. Factory 51 needs to import a batch of high-quality steel for the manufacture of gun barrels. We understand that the Economic Development Office has certain approval authority for such import applications, so we came here to see you. help."

Duanwu scratched his head a little. He didn't expect that this kind of thing would now be under the control of his Economic Development Office. Isn't there a Foreign Trade Bureau?
But now that the other party has come, it seems that he has such authority.

And when he took office, his scope of work seemed to have such a scope.

In addition to communicating with foreigners and purchasing urgently needed weapons and ammunition, he also needs to cooperate in the development of military-industrial enterprises.

In other words, Feng Baobao did not find the wrong door.

It's just that this name, like Feng Baobao, sounds so interesting.

But Duanwu is not familiar with this aspect of business.I could only ring the bell on the table.

A moment later, Wei Qin appeared at the door of the office and knocked on the door.

Duanwu said: "This is Feng Baobao, the director of the 51 Arsenal. He said that the arsenal is in urgent need of special steel for manufacturing gun barrels and needs our approval."

Wei Qin immediately understood, walked in immediately, and asked Feng Baobao to sit down, and then said: "Director Feng is like this. Nowadays, the approval procedures for the import and export of military industrial enterprises do need to be handled by our Economic Development Office. If you want to complete this application quickly, you need to provide more detailed information and materials. Only then can we implement the approval process as soon as possible."

"Oh! I understand this. I have brought all the materials."

Feng Baobao responded twice, then took out a folder from his briefcase and said: "This is the specific use of steel and related technical parameters. Our engineers have marked it in very detail."

With that said, Feng Baobao took out another folder and said, "Here is our import plan and budget, including transportation, tariffs, etc. Please take a look." Wei Qin opened the file and read it quickly, and then said to Duanwu: "Director, there is no problem with these documents, as long as we enter the approval process."

Duanwu asked at this time: "How long does it usually take for approval?"

Wei Qin thought for a while and said: "Approval requires not only us, but also the Ministry of Finance's procedures. It will take about half a month!"

Duanwu looked at Feng Baobao, but Feng Baobao said: "Director, half a month is too long. The factory currently only has enough raw materials for less than a month. And it will take at least more than half a month for the steel to be shipped from abroad. By the way. , this is a local specialty from my hometown, please accept it, director."

Feng Baobao said, taking out a red cloth bag from his briefcase and carefully placing it on Duanwu's desk.

The Dragon Boat Festival is heavy in my hands, and I know that there are bundles of oceans inside.

Duanwu smiled and said: "Is your arsenal so rich?"

Feng Baobao quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The director is joking, how much money can the arsenal have? The imported materials and production are all there. Of course, there is still some oil and water. Generally, we will sell the waste from production as scrap iron. This money is not recorded in the account. In addition to being used as entertainment expenses, every time you come, you will give some souvenirs to the approving department, so that it will not delay production, right?
When I came here, I asked the director, you are a smart person, so I will teach you the basics.It’s not that the people below can’t do things, it’s just that we can only take out so much.hey-hey! "

Duanwu nodded, then pushed Dayang back and said: "It's not easy in the arsenal, I don't want your hard-earned money."

"This?"

Feng Baobao was afraid that if he didn’t collect money during the Dragon Boat Festival, the matter wouldn’t be possible.He quickly stood up and wanted to say something.At this time, Duanwu said: "Don't worry, I will also speed up the approval procedures, and it will definitely not delay your production. As long as you produce more qualified weapons and equipment, our army will have endless bullets to shoot and use up." gun, that’s my reward.”

Hearing this, Feng Baobao was in awe, and quickly stood up and said: "I have long heard that the director is a soldier and can be the most considerate of frontline officers and soldiers. It is true when I see it today. Don't worry, director, I will let the workers work overtime when I get back. Definitely lived up to the director’s expectations.”

Duanwu nodded, and then said to Wei Qin: "Then you should go to the Ministry of Finance and ask them to get this matter done as soon as possible. Military industrial enterprises must not stop production at this time."

"Yes, Director!"

Wei Qin took the order and then signaled Feng Baobao to leave with him.But at this time, Feng Baobao looked at the money on the table.

Duanwu smiled and said: "Take it away!"

"Thank you, thank you Director."

Feng Baobao thanked him profusely, put the money back into his briefcase, bowed twice more, and then left with Wei Qin.

Wei Qin first took him to his office, made a form for Feng Baobao to fill in, and then took the filled form to Dragon Boat Festival to have it stamped and signed.After that, he took Feng Baobao to the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds.

But when we arrived at the Ministry of Finance, Director Sun of the Ministry of Finance looked at various application materials and procedures and said: "Your application materials also need a seal from the Foreign Trade Bureau. The seal from your Economic Development Office is not enough."

Wei Qin said in surprise: "Hasn't the power in the military industry been delegated to our Economic Development Office? We are also responsible for the approval of foreign trade. Why do we need the seal of the Foreign Trade Bureau?"

Director Sun smiled kindly and said: "This is also what the higher-ups want. I can't decide on this. Of course, you can also ask the higher-ups, because we are all doing business and there is no special treatment, hahaha!"
