Doomsday Totem

Chapter 480 Blacksmith
"En." Qi Yun stared at this childhood friend, nodded vigorously, and the thousands of words in his heart turned into this response.And his friend returned the most determined gaze.Then, facing the workers, he shouted loudly: "Friends, elders, I am Qi Yun, the grandson of Qi Shengtian..."

The clear and clear voice immediately penetrated the noisy crowd and echoed in the vast hall, and the workers quickly fell silent.

"After I came back, some people said that I only think about money, some people say that I want to sell the factory, and some people say that my heart has been polluted by the prosperity and luxury of the West."

"Maybe..." He paused, then continued, "They are all right."

"However, I am Qi Shengtian's grandson, a member of Chunqiu Heavy Industry!"

"So I think I have the right to express my opinion, even if it is wrong and unreasonable."

"I remember a philosopher once saying, 'I don't agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!'"

"So I beg you, let me finish and then..."

"You can drive me away, of course, you can also let me stay, even if it is an electrician or a fitter, as long as I can stay, I am willing, because..."

"This is my home!"

"You don't have to believe me, even people all over the world don't have to believe me, but that doesn't matter..."

"As long as my good brother still believes in me..." As he spoke, he hugged Lu Dali's shoulders vigorously, then pulled off his collar, pulled off his tie, took off his coat, threw it aside, and shouted loudly, "I'm worth it!"

Under the stage, pairs of eyes stared at him, but did not make a sound.

After finishing speaking, Qi Yun closed his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. After a while, he calmed down and continued: "When I was young, I heard grandpa say..."

"180 years ago, the vehicles we made ran on the land of the Far East, over mountains and mountains, with mighty and domineering power."

"180 years ago, the guardians wore the mechanical power armor made by us to expand the territory and stand upright."

"180 years ago, the glory fell, and NHI was forcibly split up by the World Parliament. Our ancestors left angrily and came to this land..."

"I often think about what kind of mood they came here back then, and what kind of mood they made Fenglin Volcano."

"I believe that they will not do it for money, nor for power. Because they are already high-level executives of NHI, even if they are split up, their income and status will not be affected."

"However, they still left everything behind and left..."

"That's because of faith, and it can only be because of faith!"

"Faith made them travel thousands of miles, cross mountains and seas, and come here far from their homes."

"But what is faith?"

"Faith is a fire in the heart, something hidden in the bone marrow, not for others to see."

"Forging swords for heroes is not just an empty slogan, but something real, using steel and technology to arm them."

"If you stick to the small chapter, you will lose the big chapter. As long as you have a fire in your heart, it doesn't matter who you cooperate with?"

"If you can't even survive, how can you talk about revival?"

"We are blacksmiths who forge armor and swords, not warriors who charge into battle."

"It's like fighting a war. The professionally trained cavalry has not yet charged, but the craftsmen who can only forge iron go first. What is this?"

"Send meat to the enemy?"

"Not only is there no combat effectiveness, but it will also become a burden."

"Besides, if you can't even support yourself, what else can you use to forge swords for others?"

"Does a hungry blacksmith have the strength to forge?" Qi Yun asked.Although there was strong irony in the words, no one refuted them.

"If you use force when you are hungry, you will fart." A little boy said innocently, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Little friend, you spoke very well." Qi Yun smiled slightly at the little boy and said.

"That's right, a blacksmith who doesn't have enough to eat can't make a good sword, he can only fart." He paused for a while, then continued, "Here, I would like to ask you a few questions."

"First, is it better to arm a hero with a peerless sword, or arm a group of heroes with a basketful of kitchen knives?"

As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of laughter.

"I think the answer is obvious."

"As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone a sword against hundreds of kitchen knives."

"According to the information in our factory, I made a statistics. Typhoon Linhuo has [-] parts, and most of the parts are handmade."

"So..." He paused for a moment, looked at the workers below, and asked, "Does anyone know how many man-hours a part takes?"

"If you are a master craftsman, you can make seven or eight a day." A young worker replied.

"Yes, the master can make seven or eight a day, round up the whole number, let's count it as ten."

"In the case of no rest, no sickness, and no leave throughout the year, [-] parts will take [-] days, ten years and eight months."

"If a hundred master craftsmen work together, [-] parts can be completed in [-] days, plus other processes, how many Fenglin volcanoes can be produced in a year?" Qi Yun looked down at Huang Lao , "Old Huang, you are the backbone of the technical department, please answer."

"Wutai..." Mr. Huang said angrily.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang." Qi Yun nodded in greeting, and then asked, "We can only arm five heroes a year, so what should we do with the remaining heroes?"

"Line up with bare buttocks." The little boy said just now, which immediately caused the audience to roar with laughter.

"So, output is the last word."

"Today's Western Heavy Industries can produce 80 Flamingo units a year if it goes all out, let alone Central Heavy Industries, which can produce at least 500 million Thunderfire units a year."

"Of course, they can't produce at full capacity, because they can't sell it."

"With the scale and strength of our Chunqiu Heavy Industry, if we carry out mass production innovation, we can produce at least [-] Wild Wolf models a year."

"Next, is the second question." Qi Yun glanced around and asked, "The blacksmith doesn't want to be hungry, so what should he do?" No one answered, and they all listened quietly, and he continued, "As far as I know, the market price of Fenglin Volcano is 25 gold coins, and we have invested far more than 25 in manpower and material resources. It is a loss-making business."

"To put it bluntly, our ancestors were senior executives of NHI, and had some savings, so they were able to make money while doing business at a loss."

"If I say this, someone will definitely scold me for being disrespectful to my ancestors."

"But everyone, think about it, how much money has the factory made over the years? Are we not working hard enough? Are we being lazy!" Qi Yun spread his hands and said.Although his words were harsh, the facts were right in front of his eyes. Even the guards knew that the factory was already in trouble.

"I say this, not to deny the achievements of the ancestors, on the contrary..."

"It is precisely because of their hard work and unremitting efforts that Chunqiu Heavy Industry can stand among the world's first-class brands."

"Even today, we have entered a trough, and no one dares to easily deny our quality."

"Our ancestors laid a solid foundation for us, and what we have to do now is to carry forward this golden brand."

"so……"

"We want to increase production, make money, make a profit, eat and drink enough, and recharge our batteries!"

"Until one day, when heroes need us..."

"Only can we take out the hammer in our hearts and forge them the sharpest sword in the world!"

After a moment's pause, Qi Yun stood up straight, solemnly bowed to the audience, and then said: "I have finished speaking, thank you for your patient listening, thank you."

There was silence underneath, and thousands of pairs of eyes watched him silently.

Quietly, Qi Yun picked up the jacket that was thrown aside, patted it, and put it on his shoulders, then jumped off the podium and walked outside.

The lonely back was bleak and lonely, just like when he left back then.The dream in my heart was broken into thousands of pieces.

But at this moment, there were scattered applause behind him.He couldn't help being startled, and stopped in his tracks.Immediately afterwards, the applause became louder and louder, and soon it changed from a gentle drizzle to a violent storm, like a huge wave, one wave after another.

"Qi Yun!" "Qi Yun!" "Qi Yun!" The applause was accompanied by shouts, which were silent mountains calling for their heroes.

Looking back, tears welled up in my eyes.

At this moment, a melodious movement sounded from a corner of the restaurant.People involuntarily stopped their movements and listened quietly.Sometimes the melody is far-reaching and long, like the ringing of bells in the earth or deep mountain bells, and sometimes high-pitched and impassioned, like an eagle hitting the sky and raging seas.

At the end of the song, the elders got up one after another and looked at the stranger in the corner, wearing big sunglasses and playing the harmonica.

"Friend, who are you?" Elder Huang stepped forward and asked.

"I am a traveler from afar..." Tie Slag looked around and said loudly, "I have an order of over ten million gold coins, and I want to cooperate with you."

In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.

Huang Lao was startled immediately, and asked in a trembling voice, "You... what you said...is it true?"

"Cang Lao can testify." Tie Slag said.He can't show his true face, so he can only borrow the reputation of Master Ya.

"I, Cang Haiya, guarantee with my life that everything he said is true." Cang Haiya got up and said.

"I will provide an advance payment of 100 million gold coins. After signing the letter of intent, the account will arrive this afternoon." Tie Slag said.

The audience was in an uproar again, and the workers whispered to each other, talking a lot.Qi Yun and Lu Dali walked over quickly, both with shocked expressions.

"Friend, are you going to start a flight company?" Qi Yun hesitated.

"In addition to aircraft, I also need guns, ammunition, trucks, locomotives, armored vehicles, mechs, and power armor." Iron Slag said.

"The advance payment of 100 million gold coins you mentioned is... is it true?" Qi Yun asked tremblingly. With the 100 million gold coins, Chunqiu Heavy Industry can resume production immediately.

"Stop talking nonsense, bring the letter of intent." Tie Slag said bluntly.

Half an hour later, Quinn signed a letter of intent for cooperation with Chunqiu Heavy Industry on behalf of Sirius Investment Co., Ltd.A few hours later, an advance payment of 100 million gold coins was transferred to Chunqiu Heavy Industry's account.

All the elders held their breath when they looked at the money in the account, and looked at it repeatedly while wearing reading glasses, for fear that they might have misread it.

A leader with the hearts of all people was born, and there were big orders, and the workers rushed to tell each other.The news was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, and thousands to thousands, and soon it spread to the whole factory, the whole town, and even the ears of all Chunqiu heavy workers.

This old factory with profound heritage exudes astonishing cohesion as if the old trees are in spring.

Within half a month, hundreds of people returned.They either drag their families with them, or travel thousands of miles alone; some ride a broken tricycle, dragging pots and pans, and a house full of belongings; some drive expensive sports cars, carrying neat luggage; some are in rags , Unkempt, some dressed in bright clothes, shiny leather shoes.

But no matter where they come from, no matter how high or low they are, no matter whether they are rich or poor, they all have one common belief: go home and rebuild their glory!
As Jiang Daya said: "I was born as a person of Spring and Autumn, and when I died, I was a ghost of Spring and Autumn!"
